Chapter 469: The wolf howls
According to the unwritten rule, wild fruits in the mountains are on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore, the fruit that bears on the walnut tree is Zhao Shicai's three people, unless they beckoned a group of people who arrived later to pick it up together, otherwise this group of people should go away and look for it elsewhere. But this gang relied on two more people than them, and they lowered their heads to pick up walnuts without greeting. Zhao Shicai didn't dare to say anything when he saw that there were many people on the other side, but Zhou Sufang was short-tempered, jumped over to reason with them, and within a few words, the two sides moved.
"It's no longer important to do it, Brother Su Fang kicked down the other party's little man, but I didn't expect the little man to turn around and take out the machete he brought, and greet Brother Su Fang with no head and no face," Zhao Shicai thought of the scene at that time, and was very afraid, "Brother Su Fang turned his back and didn't see it, Su Yi and I rushed up to stop it, and Su Yi's thigh was slashed." ”
Zhou Suyi's mother-in-law, Jin, trembled distressedly, "Is the injury serious?" ”
Zhao Shicai rubbed his face vigorously with both palms, his face full of remorse, "I didn't hurt my bones, but I bled a lot." When Brother Su Fang saw that Su Yi was injured, his eyes turned red, and he drew his knife to chase the little man and cut him three times, scaring the gang away, and the kid was not lightly injured. ”
Kim sat on a stone pier under the big locust tree with weak legs.
After listening to the cause and effect, Zhao Lizheng frowned and asked, "Shicai, do you know which village those people belong to?" ”
Zhao Shicai nodded, "They said it was from Lijia Village." ”
"Lijia Village is not close to the mountain, they go to the side of the mountain and are separated by several villages, why did they go to the mountains to pick up fruits?" Zhao Shicai's daughter-in-law frowned.
Hu Shi, who rushed over to see the excitement, pouted, "Even if you don't rely on the mountains, you know that the wild fruits in the mountains are worth a lot now!" It's not that these mountain goods stalls in the village are making trouble! ”
After speaking, she looked at the pot-bellied eight mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law next to her.
The eighth wife and the second sister-in-law were too lazy to bother with her. "Shicai, where is that guy on the other side?"
Zhao Shicai bowed his head. "On the stomach, on the arms and on the back."
If you get a knife in the stomach, you will die. Zhao Lizheng frowned, and raised his voice, "Listen, everyone, if someone goes into the mountains to pick goods, my temper will be pressed on me, and I can't do such a thing again!" And also. In the past few days, the fruits that should be harvested on the edge of the village are almost gone, and you can't go to the mountains anymore, you know? You can't ignore it for the sake of the two jujube heads. If something really happens, no one can hold back! ”
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhao Lizheng then ordered, "Okay, let's disperse." Su Fang's family. Help your mother go home first. Shicai come with me!"
Zhao Lizheng pushed away the newly covered village courtyard on the east side of the old locust tree, took Zhao Shicai in and asked carefully again, his lips pursed, and he told him.
When Zhou Weiji arrived at the cliff, it was already dark. He squinted his eyes and looked around, but he couldn't see the figures of Zhou Sufang's two brothers, he first followed the traces of the trampling to find the place where Zhou Suyi fell, and couldn't help frowning.
Fall from here. It's where the cliff is deepest! It seems that the two beasts really picked a good place to attack, Zhou Weiji leaned over and looked down. It was dark and nowhere to be seen. He first cut down the branches of the trees and made a large fire on the cliff.
The cliff, as the name suggests, is as if it had been split by a knife, the slope is extremely steep, and the smooth sides are sparsely covered with weeds and small shrubs, and there are not many large trees that can support people. Zhou Suyi fell from here, and he was more than lucky.
"Su Fang, Su Yi-" Zhou Weiji opened his throat and roared down a few times, but he couldn't hear the echo under the cliff except for the whirring mountain wind.
Zhou Weiji posed a northward arrow next to the fire, and then strode northward, going around the cliff from the north.
Dao Wufeng rushed to the cliff, rushed to the fire first, and when he saw the arrow, he also took a branch and made an arrow facing south, and carried a torch around the cliff from the south. The upper Xuanyue bent in the fourth year of the first month hung tremblingly in the western sky, unable to illuminate the darkness under the cliff, and the torch illuminated only a small piece, and the speed of the blade was naturally unable to keep up with Zhou Weiji.
Zhou Weiji took advantage of the advantage, grabbed the rocks and trees on both sides with both hands, and quickly walked down the hillside. Descending the cliff from the north is dangerous, but the descent is much faster. The further down he went, the heavier Zhou Weiji's heart sank.
When he faintly saw the dancing torches in the trees in front of him, Zhou Weiji's eyes lit up, and he also lit the torches and quickly followed, "Su Fang? ”
Zhou Sufang stared at his bloodshot eyes and recognized Zhou Weiji, "Second brother!"
At this time, Zhou Sufang's clothes were hung by tree branches, and his face, neck, arms and hands were all hung with colors, and he was embarrassed.
Even the man who was beaten with iron couldn't hold it anymore, Zhou Sufang stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Weiji's arm, and roared hoarsely, "Second brother, I'm not even as good as an animal!" Su Yi fell from above with an injury, I can't find him, second brother, I can't find him, what can I do!"
Zhou Weiji patted him on the shoulder, handed him a water bag and let him take a few sips, "When you came down, did you meet a wolf?" ”
Zhou Sufang nodded, his tone full of fear, "After Su Fang fell, the two animals also came down, which is the way they went." Second brother, blame me, blame me......"
"Don't panic, follow me." Zhou Weiji led him to a flat big stone, "You wait here to make a fire, don't leave the fire." After a while, the people from the village arrived, and I went down to look for it. ”
Zhou Sufang shook his head vigorously, "How can it be done, I will go with the second brother, and the two of us can also help each other." ”
"You can't keep up with me, wait here!" Zhou Weiji held the torch and went down quickly. Zhou Sufang's legs trembled, knelt on the big stone, clenched her fist with one hand and beat her thigh hard, and slapped herself twice before she stood up and found a branch to start a fire.
After the villagers rushed to the top of the cliff to put on the fire, they left two people to add firewood to watch the fire, and the rest of the people divided into two teams to descend the cliff from the north and south, and began to call for search.
Zhou Weiji continued to walk down, looking up at the fire on the top of the cliff from time to time to confirm the location, and found that the fire on the cliff became brighter, knowing that it was the villagers who had arrived.
Zhou Weiji gasped for a moment, his eyes widened and he carefully searched for possible traces that Zhou Suyi might have left, but found nothing. He extinguished his torch, looked up at the crescent moon, and made a trumpet shape with his hands, learning to howl against the cliff.
"Whoop~Oh~Oh~"
Realistic wolf howls echo through the valley. didn't hear the wolf's response, Zhou Weiji put his hands together again and continued to learn. "Whoop~Oh~Oh~"
This is a very risky approach, and learning to howl may attract wolves. Zhou Wei was desperate to lure the wolves chasing Zhou Suyi over, or to be able to provoke their responses to confirm the wolf's location.
"Whoop~Oh~Oh~"
Zhou Weiji howled for the third time, and finally heard a real wolf howl from the bottom of the cliff!
"Wow~Oh~"
He clutched the bark of the tree, took a water bladder and drank a few large sips of water to moisten his throat. Howling loudly again, the wolf responds again!
Zhou Weiji confirmed the location of the wolves, they were still under the cliff. There's still a long way to go. His eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and he quickly approached downward, the wolf did not disperse below, Zhou Suyi must still be there!
Zhou Wei was extremely close to the position of the wolf howl. Look over the cliff. I couldn't see Zhou Suyi, and I couldn't see the wolf. Zhou Weiji was not discouraged, he lit a torch and shouted loudly, "Su Yi! Su Yi! ”
Then listen carefully.
"Ah~ah!" Like a heavenly sound, Zhou Suyi's faint response came out from the crack in the stone!
Zhou Wei was overjoyed, took the machete and approached downward, and finally found himself in the almost vertical crack of the stone. Found Zhou Suyi's huddled figure.
Zhou Suyi, who was holding a thick branch, saw Zhou Weiji and grinned weakly. Four fingers were stretched out with trembling hands.
Four wolves!
Zhou Weiji nodded, looking up, Zhou Suyi's position was already far away from the top of the cliff, he found this stone crack well, just enough to allow a person to hug his knees and curl up, the wolf can only attack from the front, as long as Zhou Suyi remains sober and holds the weapon, the wolf can't mouth.
The wolf was not stupid, he guarded patiently, and sometimes pounced from different directions to bite Zhou Suyi. The night is long, and man's energy and eyesight cannot match them.
Zhou Wei was extremely careful to guard against the wolf coming over, looking for a dead branch and lighting a fire on the left side of the stone crevice, before he stepped forward and bent down and stretched out his hand, trying to help Zhou Suyi out.
In the flash of lightning, two wolves pounced from behind and bit Zhou Weiji's neck and thighs respectively. Zhou Weiji heard the sound of the wind and rolled sideways, threw out a dagger towards the firelight, and hit a wolf in the stomach.
"Woo~woo~" The injured wolf retreated in pain, and the other wolf saw that his companion was injured, grinned and showed his sharp wolf teeth, leaned over and rushed towards Zhou Weiji again.
Zhou Weiji was not afraid at all, and waited for the wolf to approach with a machete, and then took it straight to its face, and the wolf could dodge.
"Damn brute, come again!" Zhou Weiji clenched the machete, glared and opened his mouth, and roared to show his teeth, which was a shocking action, which could also be said to be a provocative action.
The wolf was angry, let out a fierce howl, the green light in his eyes was even better, and rushed towards Zhou Weiji again, Zhou Weiji held the machete in his right hand and slashed at the wolf, and then another wolf came out from the top of the left side, stretched out his claws and grabbed Zhou Weiji's shoulder.
Zhou Wei had expected it a long time ago, he suddenly turned sideways and slashed hard at the wolf claw that rushed on the left, injuring another one!
The injured wolf whined back again, and the wolf in front of him was even more anxious when he saw that the plan failed, but it also saw that Zhou Weiji was not a character to be messed with, so he took a few steps back and leaned over to pounce on his claws, maintaining an attacking posture.
Zhou Wei sneered confidently, watching the injured wolf retreat into the woods with a limp, wolves are beasts, once they determine that their prey will not retreat easily, they can only be killed or repelled.
Now there are two wounds, and there are still two left, and the one in front of you is the most difficult to deal with. Zhou Wei was extremely bloody, his eyes were fierce and staring at the beast in front of him, and he rushed over with an arrow, and the machete went straight to the wolf's vital point. The wolf went to the left, but he didn't expect Zhou Weiji to highlight his left fist and hit the wolf on the head heavily!
"Huh~~~" The wolf was knocked to the ground by Zhou Weiji, and he staggered to his feet and stood up and retreated two feet, with a look of fear in his eyes. The wolf is afraid, so it is easy to say.
Zhou Weiji stopped looking at it, and raised a fire on the right side of the stone crevice, leaning back against the stone and handing the water bag to Zhou Suyi, "Drink a few more sips of water, don't be afraid, it's okay." ”
"Ahh Zhou Suyi opened his mouth in response, full of trust in Zhou Weiji.
Zhou Weiji lit a third fire directly in front of him, and then reached out to help Zhou Suyi out and help him check the injuries on his body.
Zhou Suyi's thigh was slashed with a machete, fortunately, the injury was not deep and the blood flow was not much, but after falling off the cliff, the wound had no time to be treated, and the blood kept seeping out, and Zhou Suyi could only smear a lot of soil on his thigh to cover up the smell of blood. In addition to his thighs, his back and chest were also scratched by branches and rocks, and his hands were also miserable, Zhou Wei pressed his ribs very lightly, fortunately, there were no fractures, but due to excessive blood loss and cold weather, Zhou Suyi's hands and feet were cold, and his lips were bloodless, all relying on tenacity.
After Zhou Weiji examined, he helped him sit down by the fire and helped him deal with the wound on his thigh, "Fortunately, the injury is not deep, it's fine." ”
At this moment, the wolf, hiding in the woods, suddenly let out a long howl unwillingly, and began to call for his companions. Zhou Suyi's body shook, Zhou Weiji patted him on the shoulder, stood up and protected the front, "It's just two beasts, they can't toss tricks!"
"Ahh Zhou Suyi grabbed Zhou Weiji's clothes and gestured at him. Zhou Weiji understood his gesture and nodded, "Don't worry, this is not a deep mountain, it is unlikely that the wolves will come, our people are already coming over, you take the machete and sit here and don't move." ”
Sure enough, the two wolves howled a few times and appeared from the left and right, glaring at the two of them. Zhou Weiji stretched out his hand to take out a burning pine wood, and the two wolves roared at Zhou Weiji, not daring to rush up and reluctant to retreat.
At this moment, Zhou Weiji saw a torch appear on the southern hillside, smiled, and knew that he didn't have to take action himself.
He deliberately stepped back, leading the two wolves closer and appearing in the firelight.
"Whoosh!" With the sound of arrows, two sharp arrows flew out from the hillside, it was too late for the two wolves to dodge, one wolf was shot in the head and killed on the spot, and the other arrow was inserted into the wolf's back, Zhou Weiji took a step forward and swept it with a wooden stick, and the wolf flew sideways and fell on the stone, and his life fell to Huangquan.
Dao Wufeng rushed to the front, nodded to Zhou Suyi first, and then smiled at Zhou Weiji, "Second brother, good stick technique!" ”
Zhou Weiji smiled slightly, "It's not slow. Can you bring wound medicine? ”
Dao Wufeng nodded, went out of his arms and handed the medicine to Zhou Weiji. Zhou Weiji turned around to treat Zhou Suyi's wounds, Dao Wufeng held the bow and arrow, and was responsible for defense.
About half an hour later, Zhou Sufang rushed to the bottom of the cliff with everyone from the north slope, and saw Zhou Suyi sitting by the fire with all his arms and legs.
"Second brother, Brother Wufeng, this time thanks to you." Zhou Sufang kicked the wolf corpse in front of the two and thanked him sincerely.
The crowd gathered around the fire and cheered, and the night was not in vain.
Someone put the thick clothes they brought to Zhou Suyi and Zhou Sufang to wear.
"Okay, it'll be fine if the person finds it, everyone will keep the fire and rest here, and I'll go back to deliver the letter." Zhou Weiji stood up, "Wufeng, I'll leave it to you here." ”
"Second brother, you rest, let's go." Qin San said with a torch.
Zhou Weiji shook his head, "I'm not tired, I'm familiar with this road, go fast, hurry back early to make my family feel at ease." ”
Lan Yi couldn't sleep because she was worried at this time.
