The flickering oil lamp in the hall swayed, pulling the shadows of Jiang Yan and Jiang Wen to the elders.

There were no lanterns at home, and Jiang Yan didn't find anything that could hold the lantern for a long time, so she was familiar with the road in the village, and she went out of the yard in the dark.

"Little aunt, I'm with you."

Jiang Wen hurriedly put on his clothes, shoes and socks, and followed behind his little aunt, Jiang Yan didn't stop him, and waited for him slowly, this black cloth in the middle of winter, she was really scared by herself.

The two of them helped each other to the threshing floor, where several people had gathered, all of whom were on duty in the village today, and the village chief with a dignified face, and everyone gathered around them, burning a cage of fire, and the flames were shining, and all of them were worried.

"Aunt Jiang? You're here too? Your third child didn't come home either? A woman asked, getting up.

Jiang Yan nodded: "I haven't come back yet, and everyone on duty in the village is so late?" ”

"No, it's not the latest, my big pillar in the afternoon, what traces were found in the mountains, I guess it's catching the bad people, otherwise how can it be so late."

"This big night, even if you meet a bad person, you can't chase it directly, there are a lot of big insects in this mountain, what can I do if something happens..."

"That's it! If the light is dark, don't let anything happen..."

A few women, every word you and I said, all of them had worried faces on their faces.

At this time, a tall figure hurriedly ran from the mountain intersection, it was the old Wu with a bow and arrows on his back, and he was full of anger.

He ran in a hurry, panting, and his chest kept rising and falling: "Village chief! It's not peaceful in the mountains, the wolves are coming down, there are people from other villages in the mountains, I followed all the way, they collided with the guard team patrolling today, you quickly call a few more men, follow me up the mountain to fight wolves! Otherwise, the wolves will come down the mountain, and our village will be in danger! ”

As soon as Lao Wu finished speaking, the few people around him all looked frightened, and the village chief was even more panicked, and immediately asked the village to call someone.

"Xiaowen, go home quickly! Let the eldest and second get up, our house is close to the back mountain, if the wolves go down the mountain, where are we the most dangerous! ”

Jiang Yan was also panicked, in the memory of the original owner, there were indeed a few lone wolves who entered the village the year before last, and took away the two children in the village, and when everyone gathered the people in the village to find the past, there were not a few mouthfuls left of them.

Whoop......

Suddenly there were a few wolf howls, the sound was piercing and terrifying, and the people in the village who had just slept for a short time were so frightened that they got up one after another, and every household successively lit the fires that they were reluctant to light on weekdays, and the men hurriedly put on their clothes, picked up their weapons and rushed out of the door.

The dogs in the village kept barking, the chickens, ducks and geese all barked, and even the two dairy sheep that Jiang Yan bought bleated a few times at this time, and the gongs in the village struck loudly, and in a few breaths, the whole village was in a commotion.

"Whew!"

Another wolf howl!

"Woohoo!"

Linjia Village has a large population, and there are not a few dogs, at this time the wolf howled, and the dogs in the store also responded, the wolf howl got closer and closer, and the poultry in the village were all boiling.

Jiang Yan was worried about Lin Xi, thinking of the existence of the mall, she became a little bolder: "Brother Wu, you take me up the mountain, I want to find the third child of my family!" ”

Lao Wu's face was solemn: "This group of wolves is estimated to touch five or six, all of them are adult giant wolves, I went up the mountain to hunt today, and I saw them circling around the bamboo row, Lin Xi They should also find out, this will estimate that on the way back, it is not safe for the two of us to pick up, wait for the village chief to find more people!" ”

Li Zheng, who had just climbed out of bed and ran over, shouted while tidying up his clothes: "Old Wu, do you see who it is?" Which village is it from? ”

Lao Wu shook his head: "I can see it clearly, but I don't know it." ”

Li Zhengqi scolded: "Which village rabbit cub!" I said that I can't find anything during the day, it turns out that these days are all big nights to do things! They can't have brought this pack of wolves, right? ”

The village chief was anxious, his heart trembled as a wolf howled in his ears, and the people in the village were all timid, and more and more people gathered, but no one dared to follow up the mountain at this time.

"The strong laborers in the village all followed Lao Wu to fight wolves in the mountains! Lao Wu is a hunter, the most has a way to deal with these beasts, and everyone doesn't want any more children in the village to be taken away by wolves, this wolf has already touched our village, if you don't drive it away, no one will be able to sleep well tonight. ”

After the village chief finished speaking, everyone was silent, villagers, look at me, I look at you, no one said a word, wolves can eat people, one bite down, arms and legs can be directly ripped off for you, moreover, wolves are social animals, generally not only one appears, who knows how many wolves are in this mountain, they are just ordinary people, isn't it for nothing to die?

A thin villager swallowed his spit and said, "Village chief, the wolves are fast, and they all appear in groups, so let's go and deliver food!" ”

The village chief gave him a blank look, and yelled angrily: "You are a bad seed, no matter how powerful the wolf is, it's just a beast, there are so many people in our village, and they can't kill them?!" ”

Li Zheng also said coldly: "That's it! If everyone in the village were like you, hiding in the house whenever there was danger, the village would not know how many children would be taken away by wolves in a year! If you don't want your child to be eaten by wolves! Just stand up like a man! Kill the brutes! ”

The old man's face was flushed, and he immediately nodded with a boo, but the other village men were said to be enthusiastic, and they each went home and picked up weapons, hoes, sickles, rakes, and sticks, and even several people with kitchen knives like Jiang Yan, and a group of people followed Lao Wu up the mountain in a hurry.

"Mother! Don't go along! We're going to kill the wolves, so get home and wait for news. Lin Dong and Lin Nan, who were chasing after him, said breathlessly.

A large group of men, only Jiang Yan and a woman followed up the mountain, and when they heard Lin Dong finish speaking, the village found out, and everyone looked back.

"Xiao Jiang! You are a woman, don't follow the blind mixing, let us men come to this kind of thing, if something happens, I can't be responsible! The village chief shouted angrily, and tried to persuade Jiang Yan to go back.

"No, I'll follow you, don't worry, I'm right behind the crowd."

Jiang Yan shook her head, if there is really danger, she still has the means to save her life.

In the silent night, the howling wind, and the howl of wolves were still in my ears, and before the villagers could continue to persuade them, a creaking sound came, and several villagers with torches and lanterns ran forward.

Not far away, three black shadows, shadowed by the lights, lingered around everyone, with their mouths open, showing terrifying sharp teeth, and sticky saliva, and let out a low roar in their throats, as if they were about to pounce in the next second.

In the quiet forest, a wolf howled by the neck and howled, and the rest also howled with a long neck, and the sound shook the wilderness, and the people who listened were terrified.
