Chapter 41: The Cellar

"Boom ......"

The sound of a loud gong echoed over the village.

At this time, it was already past noon, and every family had eaten lunch, and suddenly heard the sound of the gong sounding like a storm, and they were all shocked in their hearts, and hurriedly dragged their families to the field.

Such a rapid gong sound represents the most urgent thing happening in the village, and everyone must rush to the field in the shortest possible time.

This is a rule that has been passed down for hundreds of years by all the villages that have made their home at the foot of Bear Wolf Mountain.

In just a moment, more than a dozen families have already converged on the field.

Yu Jiansheng's gaze turned, and his face immediately became quite ugly.

As far as he could see, all of them were old and weak, women and children, but none of the young hunters in the village were missing.

"Second uncle, where did the big pillar and their people die? Yu Jiansheng shouted angrily.

An old hunter in his fifties immediately walked out and said, "Village Chief, Dazhu took the hunters in the village to go up the mountain five days ago. ”

This old man was also once a famous hunter in the village, Yu Kaixiong, and the big pillar in his mouth was left in the village, second only to Yu Jiansheng's No. 2 hunter Yu Dazhu. When Yu Jiansheng is not in the village, he is the pillar of the village.

Yu Jiansheng stomped his foot fiercely and scolded: "This bastard, why don't you go out early or late, you have to go out at this time." ”

Yu Kaixiong was stunned for a moment, and said: "Village chief, this can't be blamed on Dazhu, we have to go out hunting every time we recuperate for ten days and a half months, but the rules you set." ”

Yu Jiansheng was suddenly speechless, he sighed, he didn't expect that he had lifted a stone and hit his own foot.

"Uncle Yu, Uncle Dazhu, will they encounter wolves?" Zheng Haotian asked softly.

Yu Jiansheng couldn't help but shudder, and he immediately thought of a very terrible consequence.

Yu Dazhu entered the mountain, but he took away all the qualified hunters in the village, if Yu Weihua and Lin Ting were not worried about their father and Zheng Haotian in their hearts, they would definitely follow into the mountain.

If they encounter a pack of wolves commanded by the White-Eyed Wolf King, the only consequence is ......

As soon as he thought of this, he didn't dare to think about it anymore. If such a thing really happened, then Dalin Village would be completely destroyed, and there would be no possibility of revival again.

"Village Chief, what happened?" Yu Kaixiong's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked.

Not only him, but the rest of the village also looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Yu Jiansheng took a deep breath, and instantly calmed himself down, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, do you remember the wolves we killed when we entered the mountain last time?"

Yu Kaixiong nodded again and again, and said, "Of course I remember, those wolves are all giant wolves in the deep mountains, and their skins are valuable." ”

Although the last wolf was carried down by Yu Jiansheng and others, when the wolf skin was sold, every household shared some benefits, and of course they remembered it vividly.

Yu Jiansheng sighed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these giant wolves should be one of a group of some big wolves in the deep mountains, and now they have come down the mountain." ”

Everyone was in an uproar, they looked at each other, and there was a look of horror in their eyes that could not be concealed.

In the Bear and Wolf Mountain, whether it is a person killing a wolf or a wolf eating a person, it is a normal thing.

Between the hunter and the prey, it is originally a life and death enemy who is different from Dai Tian.

However, both sides seem to have followed a consensus. That is, humans will not go to the real mountains to hunt, and those terrifying beasts in the real mountains will basically not go down the mountain to attack the village.

As for the last time there was a riot of countless beasts in the Bear and Wolf Mountain, it was because of a rare sight in thousands of years caused by a sudden earthquake.

But this time, the giant wolf in the deep mountains actually took the initiative to leave the territory and go to the foot of the mountain to take revenge, this kind of thing is really unbelievable.

Yu Kaixiong licked his somewhat dry lips, after all, he was also a good hand when he was young, although he was old and weak at this time, his psychological endurance was still superhuman.

"Village Chief, what should we do now?"

"I have already asked Brother Zheng to go down the mountain to ask for help, if there is no accident, Xicheng will send an army into the mountain in the early morning tomorrow. As long as we can hold out until tomorrow afternoon, these wolves will not be afraid. ”

Yu Kaixiong's brows furrowed slightly, if the human army came, then the wolves would naturally retreat. But these wolves are so vengeful that they are afraid that after the army leaves, they will return again. From now on, Dalin Village is afraid that it will be difficult to be peaceful.

However, this thought only circled in the old hunter's mind, and he would not have said such a terrible thing at this time.

"Second uncle, you take everyone to the cellar and stomp on it, bring enough water, and this time you must keep everyone safe no matter what. Yu Jiansheng immediately assigned.

At such a time, naturally no one will go against him. Soon, everyone sorted out and took all the food, water, and valuables stored at home into the cellar built under the village chief's house.

Of course, those living creatures raised at home, such as chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs, etc., can only be given up, and whether they can escape depends only on God's will.

After entering the cellar, the hearts of the villagers relaxed a little.

This cellar was built from the generation of Zheng Haotian's grandfather, and it is overhauled every ten years, and the space is enough to accommodate everyone in the village. If you add a lot of protective camouflage means, if you don't know the details, even human beings will be difficult to see the flaws. Similarly, as long as the trap is locked, it is not easy to break in.

If there hadn't been an earthquake last time, no matter how many black bears came, they wouldn't have been afraid.

After Yu Jiansheng sent everyone into it, instead of following in, he took the initiative to stay outside.

Zheng Haotian and the three naturally refused to give up, but as soon as the three of them showed a little sign of wanting to follow, they were bombarded by Yu Jiansheng with an angry reprimand.

Yu Kaixiong secretly pulled him aside and whispered, "Village Chief, why don't you go in?"

Yu Jiansheng lowered his voice and said, "Second uncle, don't hide it, Wei Hua saw with clairvoyance that there was a white-eyed wolf king among the wolves who came this time. ”

Yu Kaixiong gasped a few times, and his face suddenly turned pale without a trace of blood.

"You know, this thing is cunning and cunning, and its wisdom is no less than that of us humans. Yu Jiansheng said with a solemn face: "I'd rather come to a berserk bear king than a group of wolves under the leadership of the white-eyed wolf king." ”

Of course, Yu Kaixiong understood what he meant, although the Raging Bear King was powerful, as long as everyone hid in the cellar, then this thing would be 100% unfound. But the white-eyed wolf king is different, their noses are outrageous, and although the entrance to this cellar is quite cleverly arranged, it is only a luxury to say that they can hide it from the white-eyed wolf king.

Yu Jiansheng let out a long sigh and said, "Uncle Zheng and Brother Zheng have repeatedly persuaded me to put some large-scale weapons in the cellar, but these things are all contraband stipulated in the city, so my father and I have not agreed. If I had known that there was a disaster today, hey......"

Yu Kaixiong shook his head slightly, and comforted: "Village Chief, you can't blame your father and son, if you really put those things in the cellar, I'm afraid that if you can't wait for today's wolves to attack, the officials and masters of Luxi City will already come to slaughter the village first." ”

For the officials of the Celestial Empire, where are the lives of these people scattered outside the city in their hearts.

They would rather these hunters be killed and exterminated by the ferocious beasts of the mountains, and would never allow the hunters to have such a powerful weapon in their hands that could threaten their rule.

Yu Jiansheng shook his head gloomily and said, "Second uncle, we must have someone in our house, if the wolves really attack, then we have to fight with them, and then burn the house with a fire." This is the only way to keep everyone's scent at bay. ”

Yu Kaixiong's face changed greatly, and he said, "You...... Fight them to the death?"

Yu Jiansheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's a disaster for this white-eyed wolf king to stay, if we can't take this opportunity to kill it, our village will never be at peace." ”

When he said this, the fierce light in his eyes flashed, and it was clear that he had already made up his mind to fight to the death.

Generally speaking, the combat power of the white-eyed wolf king is not much higher than that of the giant wolf, but under their control, the combat power that the wolves can exert will increase several times, which is the most terrifying thing about them.

Yu Jian was promoted to a hunter, if he gave up his surname, he would indeed have a chance to kill the wolf king. But whether he succeeds or not, he himself is absolutely unlucky.

Yu Kaixiong's old face tensed, and said, "Village chief, I'll go with you." ”

"Second uncle, I'm afraid you won't be able to help if you keep it. Yu Jiansheng shook his head and said.

Although he was obviously despised, Yu Kaixiong didn't mind. He said in a deep voice: "You go and kill the wolf king, I will set the fire, and you must always keep a backhand." ”

Yu Jiansheng looked at him seriously, slapped him on the shoulder, and the two generations of hunters looked at each other and smiled, they left the passage and closed the entrance to the cellar.

As the entrance to the passage closed, the figures of the two of them were cut off from everyone's sight.

Faintly, everyone in the cellar had an inexplicable sense of horror and sadness.

They didn't understand why Yu Jiansheng and the others insisted on staying outside, and they didn't know what the white-eyed wolf king had come to do, but they felt a very subtle change from the attitude of these two people.

Tension spread rapidly in the cellar.
