Add firewood, and in the second half of the night, the people standing guard found that the dog seemed to be sleeping unsteadily, humming and chirping, while the two little wolves kept their eyes open and did not sleep, from time to time pricked up their ears to listen to the movement outside, and sometimes even stood up close to the thatched wall to smell what smelled.
The people standing guard also felt that there was some movement outside, but they didn't really hear it, and when they listened carefully, they felt that it was just the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
When it was my father's turn to stand guard, my father instinctively sensed that something was going on, and quickly called all the people who were sleeping and resting, and at the same time asked everyone to be vigilant, and the tools were ready, ready to attack at any time, and asked several people to light a fire at the other end of the hut, and the fire in both places was burning, and everyone gathered in the middle of the hut, holding tools and looking outside.
After arranging this, my father lay down on the ground again, listened to the movement outside, and heard only a rumbling sound, which seemed far away, and seemed to be from far away.
He called his second uncle to listen to it, and the second uncle also said that he heard this sound, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
Looking at these actions of the two adults, the children were so nervous that their scalps were numb.
Only the eldest son and the second son calmed down and told everyone not to be too nervous and keep their positions.
After a bag of cigarettes, my father leaned on the ground and listened carefully, the sound that seemed to be there was no longer there, but instead it was the sound of an animal digging a hole in the soil, and then let everyone lie down and listen carefully, what they heard was not a direction of digging a hole, but seven or eight directions at the same time to the direction of the thatched hut digging sound, the father did not understand what was going on, but secretly screamed badly, quickly let everyone pick up a burning firewood stick, and rushed to the outside of the thatched house.
After rushing outside, he set fire to the piles of dead leaves that he had prepared in the afternoon, and suddenly a fire rose into the sky, and the light of the fire illuminated the dark mountains far and near.
At the same time, he and his second uncle took a hoe and pushed a few piles of dead leaves that were burning to the grass wall of the thatched house, and the grass wall burned after the fire, and the fire was bigger, the fire was brighter, and everyone was so hot that they went straight back.
At this time, the father divided the group again, and let all the dogs guard outward, and the two little wolves stared at the hut, and everyone took the tools in their hands, ready to attack the hut at any time.
The sound of burning wood and weeds echoed in the silent night sky, adding to the tension.
Suddenly, several rat-like creatures with fire on them emerged from the collapsed thatched hut that was burning brightly.
The eldest son was still sharp-eyed and shouted "Mole!"
Everyone looked closely, and sure enough, it was a few moles the size of a puppy, scurrying around.
Several dogs and wolf cubs also spotted it, and each stared at one and chased after it.
The youngest son said, "Fortunately, it was a mole, and it caused people to toss for half the night!"
The implication is that the mole is not dangerous, but his father told him seriously that the mole is very dangerous, the teeth are as long as a palm, if we are still in the hut, it can bite off a large piece of meat in the palm of the palm, especially the mole at night is dangerous, drilling holes quickly, the mouth is sharp, and the mole's teeth are poisonous, the wound will rot quickly after being bitten, and there is generally no medicine to cure it.
said that everyone was terrified, and suddenly felt a layer of goosebumps on their bodies.
While he was talking, the dog had already returned with something in his mouth, and when he counted it, there were now four of them in his mouth, and everyone estimated that there were ten moles coming out of the thatched hut in front of them, and the rest should have escaped.
It is estimated that these moles can't imagine that after getting out of the hole, there is a pile of fire waiting for them, and they want to retreat, but the moles in the back want to get out to see the excitement and take advantage, so they push the mole in front of them forward, which directly pushes the mole in front of them directly into the fire.
The mole with no way back can only run around for his life, how can he care about biting. The eldest son called the dogs over, and at the same time carefully checked the dogs to see if they were injured by the light of the fire. Let's take a closer look, there is a dog whose tail is called a mole and bitten, and there is a lot of blood on the tail, but the tail is still straight and not bent, so there should be no big problem.
The father hurriedly took out a small packet of herbal powder from his arms, shook out a small handful, and touched the tail that was up to his hand, and the dog looked very tired, and lay down under the owner's feet, with a long mouth and a long snort and a snort.
Everyone looked at the place uneasily, hoping that there would be no danger to the dog. The father said, it's okay, this medicine should work.
The second son was very vigilant, and when everyone was busy with this, he silently continued to increase the fire of the thatched hut that had been burning, so that the fire burned very strongly, and if the fire was extinguished in this dark night, the consequences would be unimaginable.
No one noticed this hectic scene just now, and after the danger had passed, several people hurriedly came over to help, packed up tools, articles and tools, and put the steel drill into the fire and burned it.
Seeing that there was still a lot of firewood, my father asked me to light another fire, which was safer.
It seemed that tonight we could only spend one night in this field, and there was not even a big rock to cover it. With a "whoop", the father threw several moles into the fire one after the other, and the fur was scorched, but after a while the smell of scorching spread everywhere - this was a warning to the animals that were not afraid of death.
He asked everyone to cheer up and look around at all times.
The injured dog lay between the two fires squinting and sleek, while the rest of the dogs and wolf cubs stood guard around the fire, and the people were all between the two fires. The eldest son was arranged to walk around with his three cousins and cousins, who were holding knives and axes in their hands, and took turns holding a red-hot steel drill, and when the steel drill became cold, he would replace it with another red one from the fire.
The others sat on the ground, their eyes restlessly staring at the dark night outside.
After a while, my father increased the number of people standing guard to six, and his intuition told him that there might be danger tonight.
Sure enough, as my father expected, when everyone was looking around, a big thing came out of the fire beside him, the size of a calf, and the second uncle called out directly, "It's the cave lion!" Everyone hurriedly stepped back, and in an emergency, the eldest son, the second son and the youngest son quickly pulled out a steel drill from the fire and stared at the cave lion tightly, and the three cousins and cousins tripped over something in a panic, fell to the ground, and quickly got up.
The mole's hole is very large, a mole can have a hole the size of an acre, so it can accommodate such a huge animal, it turns out that the cave lion is chasing the mole under the hole, the mole has nowhere to escape before he gets into the fire, and the cave lion relies on his strength to escape and rush out of the fire.
