Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Wild Wolf
The next day, the village chief came over, "Yan'er, you say, should we stay here for another day?" I see that there are really a lot of wild fruits nearby, so let's pick more and then go. ”
Hua Yan frowned and refused directly, "No, village chief, we should be in a hurry." ”
"We've been here for a day, originally to store more food for the road, and now we have a lot of stock, but it's autumn, maybe I don't know when, winter is coming, and if we still haven't been able to get out of this forest, the situation won't be as good as it is now."
Hua Yan seriously analyzed the pros and cons, and the village chief sighed, in fact, he also knew that he shouldn't stay where he was all the time, but he had to eat and drink for a few days, and a leisurely life was too greedy......
On that day, the villagers who had been sent out to pick had not yet returned, and the village chief was going to wait for everyone to come back before announcing that they would continue to set off.
The sister and brother chatted as they walked, and Hua Jing said with a smile, "Sister, I have almost learned the method you taught me before. ”
Hua Yan glanced at him, "You kid, you actually talk big, do you know how long it took your sister and me to master?" Can you still learn it in just a few days? ”
Seeing that her sister didn't believe herself, Hua Jing hurriedly emphasized, "It's true!" Look, sister, I'm younger than you, and I'm still a boy, don't people say that the younger you are, the sooner you start learning, the better? ”
Hua Yan smiled, "Then one day I will test you to see how many tricks you can catch your sister and me!" ”
Hua Jing was full of confidence, "Good! ”
At this moment, Hua Yan sensed that something was wrong, "Wait." ”
Between the mountains and wilderness, there is a stench, it stands to reason that the speed of nature is so fast, how can it be possible to store such a strong breath, Hua Yan immediately thought of something, and cold sweat broke out in her palms.
"Huajing, quick, follow me, go back to the village!"
Hua Jing had never seen her sister look so frightened, so she hurriedly ran back behind her sister, and the sister and brother were very fast, and they ran back after a while.
As soon as she entered the village, Hua Yan felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and everyone was completely devoid of their former cheerfulness and lifelessness.
A group of people gathered around the hammock where the old Orion slept in the past, and when Huayan passed, everyone quickly got out of the way, and everyone subconsciously felt that as long as Huayan was there, then everyone's backbone was there!
Hua Yan looked at the old hunter with a dejected face, his head and arms were wrapped in rags, and he was still bleeding, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?!" ”
The old Orion's wife couldn't cry, and the villagers around her who knew what was going on hurriedly explained to Hua Yan.
It turned out that the old hunter had a trap to catch rabbits and pheasants yesterday, and he was ready to check whether there was a harvest early this morning, but when he arrived at the place, he was in a wolf, and only some rabbit fur and blood remained, as if he had been eaten clean by some wild beast.
The old hunter felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran back, but when he turned around, he saw a wolf with a ghostly eye staring at him.
The wolf directly attacked, if it weren't for the old hunter's rich experience and several daggers on his body, I am afraid that he would have become the ghost of the wolf's mouth!
Hua Yan frowned, this matter is a little wrong, and said directly, "It stands to reason that these wolves are all social animals, why did Uncle Orion only encounter a lone wolf, and Uncle Orion resisted a little, and the wolf ran away, not in love with war at all?" ”
The old Orion raised his eyes, this girl can always talk about the most critical place!
"Yes, according to my experience, this wolf should have been sent out by the wolf pack to step on it."
"Stepping on points?" Everyone looked at each other.
"Yes, wolves are not only very organized and disciplined, but also have a strong sense of revenge, it seems that we have been picking and hunting all kinds of things in the vicinity these days, and have violated their territory, so they have decided to attack us."
After Hua Yan finished speaking, the women in the village were about to cry in an instant!
It's a wolf, it's a beast, who can not be afraid?
"So, aren't we going to leave now? Is it that if they leave, they won't make a move on us? A woman asked timidly.
"The problem is that there are three or four hundred people in our village, and even if we set out to hurry, we won't be able to walk very fast." Hua Yan frowned and analyzed, "And the wolves in the wild are very vindictive, and it is very likely that they will never die with people!" ”
When I thought of the situation that Hua Yan analyzed, I immediately panicked, and suddenly a woman said loudly, "It's okay!" Our village has flowers! Huayan will protect us! ”
"What is this called? Isn't my sister contributing enough to the village? When there was danger, I immediately thought of letting my sister fight for her life? What is the rationale for this? Hua Jing angrily looked at the woman who was speaking, her fists clenched.
"I ...... I didn't mean that, I meant to say, Hua Yan is smart and has ideas, let's just listen to her! The woman timidly added an explanation.
When the people in the village who had just gone out to buy supplies came back, they were originally elated, but now when they heard that this was the case, their mood instantly became bad.
Seeing that the big guy couldn't come up with an idea for a while, several middle-aged men clenched their fists and said, "We're not afraid of them!" We walk so many people! Even if those wolves really dare to come, we will let them go and never return! ”
It's not a way to go, it's not a way to stay, and when everyone is in dispute, Hua Yan said, "Village chief, I think it's better for us to stay where we are." The wolves are cunning, and if we really pack up our things and prepare to travel through the mountain paths, then we will be too scattered, and maybe the wolves will break us all! ”
"So, we still stay where we are for a long time, those who have combat power stay below, and those who don't have combat power will climb the trees to hide first."
Hua Yan's words were final, fortunately, the most indispensable thing in this forest was the towering tree, Hua Yan first arranged for those old and weak women and children to climb to the tree one by one and wait.
So the women began to weave soft ladders, and some of them were nimble and could climb up directly when they stepped on them, while the men, under the leadership of the old Uncle Orion, set traps and sharpened branches, and in order to prevent the wolves from suddenly attacking, everyone shrunk the sleeping circle very small, almost to the point of crowding.
But in this case, some pregnant women who are pregnant with Rokko have a hard time, how to climb up the tree with such a big belly!
In the end, he could only comfort his own man that he would definitely protect his wife when the time came, so he settled down.
