Nanzhong County. It is more than 100 kilometers away from Anxian County.

Fang Yu drove slowly and leisurely on the road for two days before arriving here.

If the horse is fast, it can be arrived in a day, but Fang Yu said that the horse and car are rented, and if the horse is tired, he will have to pay for the horses.

Chen Xiao was speechless, but what he said also made sense. After the death of pigs, chickens, cows and horses in the county last time, there were no good horses in the county. For example, in the past, the horses in the "big horse shop" were all good horses that could withstand long-distance travel. But the horses that could be found now looked thin and long-haired, and they looked overwhelmed—the good horses were bought by the merchants of the city, and their horses died, and everyone was buying them.

It was noon when we arrived at Nanzhong County. Compared with Anxian County, Nanzhong County is much behind. When approaching the county seat, Chen Xiao saw many trees piled up on both sides of the road, and there were many shops in the city that made and sold timber.

A few people found an inn to settle down and had lunch at the inn. Chen Xiao took the opportunity to ask the shopkeeper about "fighting wolves".

"You're here to fight wolves?" The shopkeeper asked.

"Yes." Chen Xiao nodded.

"The main trouble is Mutang Village, as well as the nearby Lijia Village and Luoshui Village. In the past, there were no wolves in the mountains near there, and the wolves were all deep in the mountains. But then somehow the wolf went to the village to forage for food, bit the livestock to death, and took the children away. Later, the people of Mutang Village went into the mountains to fight wolves, but unexpectedly, more wolves were attracted. Now Mutang Village has been overrun by wolves, and all the people in the village have gone outside. ”

"The village is overrun by wolves?" Chen Xiao felt incredible and asked, "How many families are there in that village?" ”

"About twenty or thirty households."

The village is not big, no wonder. Chen Xiao asked: "Isn't the government offering a reward for fighting wolves?" That village has been overrun by wolves? ”

"It is said that this is now the second group of wolves. Earlier some were shot, and some came later. There are also many people who go to Mutang Village to fight wolves, and many people die there, and they can't even pull back the corpses. Anyway, it's terrible to listen to them in that place! ”

For wolves, the dead are food. They won't allow others to steal their food.

Chen Xiao imagined it for a moment: the village was full of wolf and human corpses, and it was terrifying to think about it.

"Why don't you set fire to the village?"

The shopkeeper looked at her with idiotic eyes: "That's the home of the people of Mutang Village!" ”

"Without a habitat, the wolves naturally leave there."

"Leaving Mutang Village, they will also go to Lijia Village and Luoshui Village. This is no ordinary wolf, it's a bad wolf! At present, the two villages have not been overrun by wolves, and they only often come to the village to collect some livestock. If Mutang Village burns down, other villages will suffer. ”

Chen Xiao was a little surprised. The wolf in her impression is not so bold. But the wolves here are beyond her imagination.

There are other customers in the store, and the shopkeeper goes to greet them.

Chen Xiao said to Fang Yu: "Forget it, don't fight, let's go back." ”

Such a wolf pack may really be life-threatening. They are not afraid of people at all, and they dare to occupy human villages, do they want to "rise of the planet of the apes"?

Fang Yu held her hand and said with a smile: "What, are you worried about my safety?" ”

"Hmm." Chen Xiao nodded: "These wolves are beyond my imagination. It's really a pack of wolves. ”

Fang Yu smiled: "I told you a long time ago, it's dangerous. ”

Chen Xiao looked at him with pitiful eyes: "I didn't expect it." ”

Fang Yudao: "I'm here, I'll take a look tomorrow." ”

Chen Xiao wanted to say, "Don't go." But he felt that Fang Yu should be able to get out of the way, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.

After eating, they walked around the county seat. On the notice board at the entrance of the county office, there is a notice of rewarding wolves, and the handwriting is already a little blurred.

Xiaoshi went to the county office to find someone to ask, and said that the announcement was still valid, but no one had come to receive the reward recently. There was a group of outsiders before, like them, who heard that there was a reward for fighting wolves, and four people came, but one died and three were wounded, so they only brought back one wolf corpse.

It's not worth exchanging a person's life for a wolf's life.

The wolf plague has been in trouble for almost a month, and the yamen is ready to invite the army to exterminate the wolves.

Chen Xiao sighed. It's a very dangerous thing.

On the second day, Chen Xiao and Fang Yu went to Mutang Village.

Mutang Village is about 20 miles away from the county seat. They asked the innkeeper to help find someone to lead the way, and said that they didn't need to go near the village, but only had to take it to a place where they could see the village, and give one or two pieces of silver, so that finally someone would go.

The carriage traveled for more than an hour, turning the col.

"There it is." The passer-by pointed to the hillside in the distance and said, "There is a big red bean tree at the entrance of Mutang Village. When you see the red bean tree, it is Mutang Village. ”

Chen Xiao and the others looked in the direction he was pointing and saw houses looming in the woods on the hillside in the distance.

Chen Xiao visually measured that the distance was about three or four miles, and said, "Go a little further." ”

The leader said: "We can't go any further, in case the wolves chase down the mountain, we won't be able to win!" ”

"What are you afraid of, and we are with you." Small Stone Road.

"Can't go any further. He said he would just see the village. ”

"One mile further, one mile. I'm not afraid of a woman, what are you afraid of. ”

Chen Xiao insisted that the carriage go a little further. The leader sat in the car, and he couldn't do it, so he could only follow.

Closer to the foot of the mountain in Mutang Village, the leader hurriedly said: "Please, just stop here!" ”

Seeing that he was so scared, Fang Yu stopped.

He said to Chen Xiao: "You guys are waiting here." I'll go up alone. As he spoke, he picked up the dagger and powder he had prepared.

Chen Xiao said: "I'll go with you." ”

"No, I can't. Your foot strength is too poor to run fast. If you really want to run for your life, you will kill me. ”

Fang Yu didn't want to say anything too heavy to her, but if she didn't, she would go with her.

Of course, Fang Yu also knew that if she couldn't escape, she would hide in the Black Stone Space. Huh! Thinking about it this way, shouldn't I take her with me?

"Okay." Chen Xiao agreed with Fang Yu's suggestion.

She took out an outdoor lifeguard whistle from her bosom and said:

"If it's urgent, you even blow a short whistle. If it's okay, blow the long whistle. ”

After saying that, she blew a few times and gave him a demonstration.

Now it is still two miles away from Mutang Village on the hillside, but the distance in the air is not far, and I don't know if the whistle can travel so far. Because there are too many trees in the mountains, it will hinder the sound transmission.

Fang Yu took the whistle and kissed her on the lips.

Then turn around and walk up the hill.

Several people in the carriage were a little embarrassed by his actions, and they all turned their heads away.

Looking at him walking vigorously and striding towards the mountain, Chen Xiao was a little worried, but not so worried.

She walked out slowly, communicating with the white worm in the black stone.

"Bai Yin, you come out and follow him, and go to the village together."

"Sister, let me go! I'm still young. ”

"Humph! Lazy and cowardly. ”

The little stone that came down from the carriage looked as if she was going up the hill, and shouted:

"Sister, don't go up! We're just waiting here! ”

To be honest, in fact, Xiao Shi and Cao Yong were also a little worried and afraid. It's just that they don't say anything.
