Chapter 1 Stormy Weather
Before you know it, night falls. The mountains in the distance gradually blurred into a gray-black shadow. There was a faint sound like the wind blowing, presumably the sound of water flowing in the canyon.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a small village.
The houses made of bamboo strips, wooden strips, yellow clay, and green tiles, undulating with the terrain, are exactly the kind of rhythm of ups and downs that people want to express in the painting.
There are only a dozen households in this village, and it is one of the smallest villages at the foot of Bear Wolf Mountain.
On weekdays, when night falls, people are already back in their homes. But now it is clearly different, and the noise seems to be getting louder and louder.
In the largest blue-tiled house in the village, there are more than ten people sitting in Tuan Tuan, who are the heads of each household in the village, and they are also the biggest guarantee for this small village to live at the foot of Xiong Wolf Mountain.
A man in the center was about forty years old, with a thick-line face, slightly dark skin, and a broad, resolute square chin. The thick lips were tightly pursed, and from the slight swirls at the corners of the mouth, two tired wrinkles cut deep through the cheeks, extending to the chin.
At this time, he stood up, hugged his fists to the people around him, and said with a face full of shame: "Everyone, Yu Jiansheng has disappointed everyone again, I'm sorry." ”
Although the faces of the more than ten people here were not good-looking, it could be seen from their eyes that they did not mean to blame the middle-aged man in front of them.
An old man shook his head and said, "Village Chief, you can't be blamed for this, Wan Yifu was already a mid-level hunter more than ten years ago, and in the past ten years, Wanjia Village has been the most powerful among all the nearby villages. It's a great thing that you've been able to keep our village's hunting range. ”
The rest of the people nodded again and again, and one of them even stood up and said, "Village Chief, anyway, the eldest brother of the Lin family is in the Qiu family, as long as there is such a relationship, Wanjia Village will not dare to bully people too much." ”
"Yes, it's not been like this in the past few years, we're all used to it, village chief, you don't have to blame yourself. Another person stood up and said in a loud voice: "Actually, everyone knows that if you hadn't stayed all these years, then it would be impossible for our village to have such treatment, but I'm afraid that we won't even be able to share the scope of hunting." At that time, the village was afraid that it was really going to disappear. ”
More than a dozen people spoke of relief, and Yu Jiansheng's face improved a little.
He nodded slightly, glanced at everyone gratefully, and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt his feet shake slightly, and there were signs of unsteady standing.
Not only that, but even the tea cup on the table made a slight trembling sound, everyone was shaking, and a piece of dust fell on the top of their heads.
"The earthquake ......"
I don't know who shouted, and everyone was shocked.
"Go out and take everyone out of the house. Yu Jiansheng screamed violently, shocking everyone's ears with a faint pain.
But in this dangerous moment, once someone comes forward, most people will blindly follow. What's more, Yu Jiansheng was originally the head of the village, and no one would disobey his words.
More than a dozen people left the house one after another, and they ran towards their homes.
The village was not large, and they soon went home to their own families, and dragged all their relatives out.
Fortunately, night had just fallen, and they had not yet fallen asleep, so although they were in a hurry, there was no major chaos.
It didn't take long for more than a dozen families to gather in the village.
An old man over the age of sixteen looked around with a frightened gaze, and he kept nagging: "What's going on? I haven't heard of an earthquake in Bear Wolf Mountain for hundreds of years......
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, a huge thunderclap sounded in the sky, and the sound exploded, interrupting the old man's words.
Everyone looked up at the sky in horror, and at some point, the sky was already covered with thick and deep dark clouds.
The lightning failed to tear through the heavy clouds, and after the thunder rolled through the low clouds, the torrential rain fell down overwhelmingly. The wind and rain are falling like the heavens are crying, and they want to drown everything in the world. The dark and gloomy night was terrifying, as if it alone was the ruler of the world
Inexplicably, everyone was chilling, and a few people were about to go home to take out the rain gear, but they felt that their feet began to shake faintly. At this moment, no one dares to act rashly at all. Everyone was exposed to the rain, and in just a moment, they all turned into wet chickens.
"Roaring ......"
Fierce roars rang out from the mountains, and they came and went, and in an instant they resounded through the heavens and the earth.
Yu Jiansheng's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "The wild bears in the mountains are rioting, brothers, copy the guys." ”
Everyone was shouting their promises, and they seemed helpless in the face of God's wrath. But when they heard the roar of the beasts in the mountains, these men who lived at the foot of the mountain and basically lived by hunting calmed down.
Several men ventured into the house and took out all the weapons they normally used.
The weapons used in these are basically three-strand hunting forks or long-handled red tassel spears, only Yu Jiansheng is holding a mountain opening knife and standing majestically at the intersection of the village.
The men stood guard in the first row at the junction, and the women and children were not to be outdone, picking up some rudimentary weapons, or clubs, or rakes and hoes, and looked nervously in the direction of the mountain.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
From the mountain came the sound of countless huge footsteps like drums.
When these footsteps sounded, everyone on the field tensed their nerves.
Soon, more than thirty black bears, large and small, rushed towards the villages below the mountain, and their mouths let out a crazy "whoop" sound, stimulated by the shaking of the earth and the wind and rain in the sky, these overlords of the bear and wolf mountains seemed to be suffering from madness.
Yu Jiansheng looked at him coldly, more than ten men were all holding hunting bows, but no one pulled the strings and opened the bows, they were all waiting for the village chief's order.
More than 30 black bears saw the humans in front of them, and they became more and more crazy.
They picked up speed abruptly, and ran along the village road. However, just as they were about to approach the village, more than a dozen black bears that rushed to the front suddenly became short and disappeared.
At the gate of the village, a rather large trap was dug.
The trap is quite cleverly arranged, and it will not make any difference if several humans or a single black bear step on it, but when a large number of black bears step on it at the same time, the pillar below suddenly becomes unbearable and collapses.
In just an instant, the black bear that came to attack actually lost half of its combat effectiveness.
Although the rest of the black bears were furious, they did not lose their senses, except for a few unlucky guys who could not hold their feet and were brought into the trap by their habitual surnames, the rest of the black bears still circled in a big circle and continued to rush into the village.
"Shoot ......" Yu Jiansheng raised his eyebrows slightly and shouted calmly.
At the same time, with the strength of his arms, he had already drawn the hunting bow in his hand into a full moon.
The next moment, more than a dozen arrows shot out one after another.
Although the archery skills of these men are strong and weak, they live at the foot of the bear and wolf mountain, and they all make a living by hunting.
However, the power of hunting bows is limited, and although the arrows they shoot do not miss, they cannot kill them on the spot except for a few long arrows that hit the black bear's eyes and the bridge of the nose.
The speed of the black bear was very fast, and Yu Jiansheng and the others had only shot two rounds, and they had already rushed in front of them.
Four more black bears fell, but the remaining nine black bears became more and more ferocious. They slapped them hard with their huge slaps.
"Kill ......"
Yu Jiansheng shouted violently, took the lead in raising the mountain opening knife in his hand and slashed it fiercely.
The rest of the men rushed forward in unison, and they met them in a hard-fought manner with their weapons.
Behind them, are their women and children, and until they die, there will be no step back in any case.
However, the strength of the black bear is not beyond the reach of humans, although these men are all hunters who have fought with fierce beasts in the mountains and seen blood, but under the rush, they are still rushed through their defense line by a black bear.
The size of the black bear is particularly strong, and the eyes are flashing with a fierce and cunning light, it already has considerable wisdom, knowing that the person behind it is a soft persimmon, and can handle it at will.
The people behind were confused, and several old men clenched their weapons at the same time, although they were old and frail, but the experience of their youth was still there, they huddled together, and aimed their weapons at the black bear with a sharp end.
It's just that the wisdom and ability of the black bear are above their imagination, and a huge black slap waved, and immediately pulled away their weapons, and their bodies like huge rocks slammed upward, and they were about to rush into the women and children.
A voice from a young chick shouted, and a young man with a tiger's head and a tiger head brandished a club, and drew it straight up.
The black bear pulled it out at will, and it didn't pay attention to such a stick that was not very powerful.
However, the unexpected happened at this moment.
The young man's club suddenly paused in mid-air, and in this way dodged the black bear's giant palm at the last moment, and then reached out again, and stabbed it hard at the bridge of the black bear's nose.
"Whew......"
The black bear let out a terrible cry of pain, and its giant palm swung out again.
This time the speed was so fast that the boy didn't even have time to react, and he was already slapped on the stick with a palm. The force was so great that it even knocked his body flying.
