Han Qing also noticed Mia's father's strange appearance, and hurriedly sobered himself up from his thoughts. He listened intently, and sure enough, he heard a clutter outside the house with a slight "creaking, creaking" sound. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the glass window on the right, which made him scream "ah". A wolf's head was already floating outside the window, and a pair of greedy wolf eyes were peering viciously into the house.
"There's another one over here, there's one over here!" Mia exclaimed, too, as she pointed to the glass window on the other side.
"It's over, it's over, I've listened to the door, and there are at least three or five more. We've got wolves! As he spoke, Mia's father retreated from the door to the wooden bed, stooping down and taking out a bow and three arrows from under the bed.
"Why are there only three arrows?" Han Qing thought, there should be a bundle of arrows! In the past, when I watched movies or TV series, I could always see Orions carrying bundles of arrows on their backs in the plot, and they couldn't shoot them all.
"My dad hasn't hunted for many years, and he made these three arrows overnight to deal with the old wolf you bit to death." Mia whispered.
"No, it stands to reason that wolves don't usually show up here. This place has always been sparsely populated, and small animals rarely come here. Generally, they like to choose a nest behind the hill in the east mountain. The terrain is flat, it's a weedy beach, and there's a small river on the edge of the grassy beach. It is common for all kinds of small animals to go there to forage for food. I chose this place to build a wooden house because I thought it was safe and quiet. Could it be that the wolves are not good at foraging in the snow, so I was brought here? Mia's father fiddled with the bow and arrow in his hand, thinking for a moment.
"Yes, Dad, I've been here many times since you built this hut, both in summer and winter, and I've never encountered a wolf. Now, there are wolves here! But, Dad, we're not afraid! Mia somewhere touched a meter-long, wrist-thick wooden stick, clutched it in her hand, and her eyes were awe-inspiring.
Han Qing was also infected by Mia's words and actions, and he thought, isn't he as good as a little girl? He clenched the sharp knife in his hand tightly.
"Wait, let me think about it." Mia's father pondered for a moment and continued: "Even if I shoot three wolves in every shot, there will be at least three or four wolves left, or even more. Can the three of us handle them? And, more importantly, I haven't hunted in a long time, and to be honest, I'm not sure at all. We need to wait, like wolves against us, and wait for the right time......"
"Why don't we call for help on our phones? It's a pity my phone is dead. Yes, do you have a cell phone? Han Qing suddenly shouted. Yes, what age is it now, how can you forget the modern equipment when you are in the deep mountains and old forests?
"Cell phone?" Mia's father shook his head helplessly, "The signal here is not good, especially in this kind of ghost weather, it can't be played at all." It's okay to make phone calls in our village, but it's still more than 20 kilometers away from the village, and all the way up and down the mountain, which hinders the transmission of signals. ”
"I heard from the village chief that it would be much better to erect a communication tower in the mountains next year. But what do we do now? Mia said.
"Yes, uncle, are we going to wait like this?" Han Qing's palms were sweaty, he never dreamed that he would encounter so many things. As for wolves, he had only heard them in fairy tales as a child, and then he had seen them in Wancheng Zoo. But at this time, he did not feel afraid, but there was an exuberant emotion rushing up in the depths of his heart. He thought that since it had happened, he should dare to face it, because he was already nineteen years old!
"It's almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and it's still more than two hours before it gets dark." Mia's father looked a little worried, "If these brutes start attacking the cabin at night, it will be very bad for us. ”
"It's going to be dark in two hours?" Han Qing was a little puzzled.
"Yes, it gets dark early in winter. Especially in the mountains, winter will be earlier. As soon as Mia's words fell, she heard a violent "plop" sound in front of the door. It's as if several people are banging on the door with a solid wooden stick. The door frame and door panel shook with the violent impact.
"Oops! These brutes can't wait, they're already on the attack! Mia's father took a sharp step back and raised his bow and arrow at the door. At the same time, he shouted: "You two pay attention to the windows on both sides, and as long as the wolf's head sticks in, you will pierce me to death and beat me to death!" ”
"Okay!"
Han Qing and Mia each hid by the window and raised their weapons.
In front of the goal, the sound of "plopping and plopping" continued......
Han Qing felt that his heart was about to jump to his throat. It's strange, now that there is no wolf shadow outside the glass, are they all attacking from the front of the house? He turned his head to look at Mia, who was also looking at him strangely.
Suddenly, "Whoa! There was a sound of glass shattering, and a wild wolf rushed from the side, shattering the top of the glass with its first life, and its two front paws rested on the window frame, and its head was already sticking in. Saying that it was too late, Han Qing clenched the sharp knife with both hands and stabbed it into the wolf's neck, and then squatted downwards desperately. Immediately, the wolf's blood splattered, and the beast's body writhed a few times, and after a few wails, it did not move. Han Qing knew that this beast must have wanted to leap into the house with lightning speed! In that case, the consequences will be unimaginable! Wild wolves are indeed cunning animals, and they can actually strike everywhere! Thinking of this, he hurriedly pulled out the sharp knife, and then pulled the wolf carcass upward, pulled down half and put it down, just to temporarily block the broken window. Then he turned his head to look over Mia, and saw Mia facing the window, holding a wooden stick in her hand, staring out the window. Outside the window, another wolf pounced and stared at Mia. It seems that this wild wolf is more cunning, and has not directly hit his head in.
In front of the goal, the sound of "plopping and plopping" continued......
"Good boy, just do it! I love kids like you! Mia's father shouted encouragement.
Han Qing didn't say anything, and continued to hold the sharp knife tightly, observing through the gap between the wolf's body and the window frame. It was white outside, and there was no shadow of other wolves in sight, but there would be bursts of biting cold wind blowing in, making Han Qing feel cold.
At this time, he noticed that the wolf body lying in the window was shrinking backwards, was it not dead? Han Qing looked out through the gap and saw that it was actually another adult wild wolf that was clutching one of the dead wolf's hind legs and dragging it back. Han Qing quickly put the sharp knife at his feet, grabbed the two front paws of the dead wolf with both hands, and sat backwards. He knew that he must not let go, in that case, the consequences would be unimaginable!
It was at this time that the "plop plop" in front of the door suddenly stopped!
