The second wind rises in Chang'an Chapter 144 Tracking the wolves
The soldiers who were training outside the barracks couldn't help but shudder when they heard the screams in the barracks, they really didn't understand what their grandfather had done in the barracks to make these iron-beaten men scream so badly.
Ever since they saw Lu Chen carrying a burden into the barracks, they began to hear these screams, and they didn't know what their grandfather had brought into the barracks.
"Today is the first day, and there are still four stitches waiting for you!" After giving Feng Huai these back guard soldiers who were bitten by wolves, Lu Chen threw down such a sentence, put his things back into his baggage, and went out of the barracks, hearing Lu Chen say that there were four more stitches in the back, these injured soldiers couldn't help but tremble again.
Seeing Lu Chen walking out of the barracks with his baggage, the soldiers who were training stopped one after another and looked at the burden in Lu Chen's hand with a strange look of inquiry.
"What are you looking at?" Lu Chen looked at the strange expressions of these soldiers, and Lu Chen knew that it was the screams of Feng Huai's people in the barracks just now that scared them a lot, "Du Junqiu, let them all gather!" Lu Chen gave Du Jun a word, and then left the camp of the guards alone.
By the time Lu Chen came to the camp again after hiding his things in the study, all the guards who needed to be sentry and patrol had already been gathered here, and Su Dingfang, Fang Qi, Meng Ji, and the newcomers Lian Xiude and Peng Zun were also standing here.
Lian Xiude and Peng Zun kept touching the commander-level back armor on their bodies, their faces were proud, and even Peng Zun pulled out the Tang knife and kept wiping it.
"Peng Zun, Lian Xiude!" Lu Chen directly called the names of these two people.
"The subordinates are here!" When the two heard Lu Chen shouting to themselves, Peng Zun hurriedly put the Tang knife into the sheath and looked at Lu Chen with his chest up.
"The two of you go and order five hundred soldiers and search the mountains with your father!" Lu Chen directly gave orders to the two of them.
"Yes!" The two of them took the order, turned around and went to the outside of Zhuangzi to order troops, as for why they searched the mountain, when they came just now, they had already heard Du Junxuan say that Feng Huai and others were bitten by wolves when they were patrolling in the back mountain, and Lu Chen now asked them to order troops to search the mountain, obviously preparing to destroy this group of wild wolves.
"You follow Benhou into the mountain!" At this time, Lu Chen had already changed into that camouflage uniform, and the pistol was inserted in the holster on his waist.
"Yes!" The rest of the guards responded in unison.
Just as Lu Chen walked out of the barracks with these back guards, Lian Xiude and Peng Zun had already walked over with five hundred sergeants in the distance.
"Lian Xiude, leave a hundred people, guard this line for me!" Lu Chen directly pointed to the line with Lujiazhuang back to the hillside, and directly began to deploy.
"Yes!" Lian Xiude directly received the order, turned around and arranged a hundred soldiers, kept a good distance, and waited on the cordon ordered by Lu Chen.
"The rest of you, follow my father into the mountain, let's eat wolf meat tonight!" Lu Chen waved his hand directly and took the lead in walking towards the back mountain.
Su Dingfang's leaders of the backstabbing guards glanced at each other and hurriedly chased after them.
"Grandpa, let's open the way!" Fang Qi, who followed Lu Chen's footsteps into the mountain, came to Lu Chen's side with a Tang knife and said.
"Do you know how to track?" Lu Chen glanced at Fang Qi.
"No!" Fang Qi replied very simply, he was born in a farmer's household, and he was not a hunter, where would he have this kind of tracking technique.
"Grandpa! I used to be a hunter in the army, but I know a thing or two about tracking prey! Just when Fang Qi was a little embarrassed, Lian Xiude said behind Lu Chen.
"Oh? Xiude, you used to be a hunter, why haven't you ever heard you mention it? Hearing Lian Xiude say that he was born in Orion, Peng Zun and Meng Ji on the side both looked at Lian Xiude with curiosity.
"It's not something to show off, what is there to say!" Lian Xiude explained with a smile.
"Xiude, you know how to track the arts, so let's compare and see who can find the wolves first?" Lu Chen looked at Lian Xiude and said with a smile.
"Adults also know how to track?" When he heard Lu Chen say that he also knew the art of tracking, Lian Xiude looked at Lu Chen with some surprise.
"I don't like to hear what you're saying!" Seeing Lian Xiude's surprised expression, Meng Ji directly patted Lian Xiude, "Our family is a scholar and a celestial, how can it not be a mere tracking technique!" ”
Since Lu Chen made Lujiazhuang a day by day, everyone in this village regarded Lu Chen as a god, if it weren't for Lu Chen's explicit prohibition, many Zhuang families would be ready to give Lu Chen a stick of incense sooner or later.
"Ben Gong also knows a little bit about it, just today to try if Ben Gong learned this tracking technique is rusty!" Lu Chen said with a smile, as the captain of the Ninth Special Operations Team, tracking is a basic subject, if you forget this ability, you are still a special operations captain.
"In that case, let's take a look at the difference between the adult's tracking technique and the cultivation of virtue!" Su Dingfang said with a smile on the side, as for Lu Chen's injury, it is not within the scope of these people's consideration at all, if so many people are here, they can let their father-in-law be injured, then they can collectively wipe their necks.
"Let's go!" Lu Chen waved his hand and walked forward, and the one who followed Lu Chen was Lian Xiude, and the others were centered on Lu Chen and scattered around Lu Chen to guard.
Soon, Lu Chen ordered everyone to stop advancing and turned their heads to look at Lian Xiude.
"Xiude, can you talk about it?" Lu Chen looked at Lian Xiude with a smile.
"That's all there is to the subordinates!" Lian Xiude said to Lu Chen, "Look at these branches that fell to the ground, they should have been broken by Feng Huai when they went down the mountain," Lian Xiude said and picked up a few broken branches from the ground, there were brown blood stains on the branches, which could verify Lian Xiude's words, Lu Chen heard Lian Xiude's analysis, nodded and agreed, "And from the injuries of Feng Huai and the others, this place is not too far away from the place where they encountered the wolves, it should be not far from the front, I don't know if the subordinates are right?" Lian Xiude looked at Lu Chen and asked.
"Xiude is right!" Lu Chen nodded again, "From this father's point of view, the place where Feng Huai and the others encountered the wolves would not be more than three hundred steps away from us!" Lu Chen looked at the dead branch in Lian Xiude's hand and gave an accurate number.
"Grandpa, shouldn't we be careful, after all, the distance of three hundred steps is not far for those wolf cubs!" Su Dingfang reminded Lu Chen on the side.
"It's okay! Let's go over now, there shouldn't be any wolves there! Lu Chen said very firmly, after all, the wolves will drag the dead members back and take them away, and they will eat them as food, so Lu Chen is very sure that at this time, there will be no wolves in the place where Feng Huai and the wolves meet, not even wolf corpses.
"Keep going!" Lu Chen waved his hand and motioned for the team to continue searching.
"Be careful to protect your lordship!" Regardless of whether Lu Chen said it was right or not, Su Dingfang put the protection of Lu Chen in the first place, and directly issued an order, and with Su Dingfang's order, the protective ring of the guards responsible for protecting Lu Chen shrank again.
As he continued to move forward, Lu Chen led everyone to a mountain col, and saw that there were pieces of cloth and wolf hair scattered on the ground, and even wolf tails, severed limbs, and brown blood stains on the left and right on the ground, but not a single wolf corpse was found.
"Sure enough, as the adults said, there is not a single wolf corpse!" Peng Zun led the soldiers to search the mountain pass, and sure enough, not a single wolf corpse was found, and he couldn't help but say in a tone of admiration, "How did the adults know that there would be no wolf corpses here?" Peng Zun still couldn't help but ask curiously.
"In this winter, there is not much food that could have fed the wolves, and those wolf corpses have been dragged back by the wolves as food!" Lu Chen smiled and explained to Peng Zun, "Moreover, the habits of wolves are like this, even if it is not winter, the dead wolves in the wolf pack will be divided and eaten by the wolves, this is their habit!" ”
"I see!" Hearing Lu Chen's explanation, everyone nodded.
"Adults know so much!" Fang Qi gave Lu Chen a thumbs up and praised.
"Old Fang, I suspect that you are suspected of being a sycophant!" Meng Ji directly gave Fang Qi a look of contempt.
"Don't doubt it, this guy is just a sycophant!" Su Dingfang directly gave a positive reply.
Originally, there was still some tension in order to guard against the sneak attack of the wolves, but Fang Qi's words and troubles were directly diluted a lot, and many soldiers also relaxed some tense nerves, after all, it was the first time for them to do this kind of work.
At this moment, a wolf howl sounded behind the mountain, and a noisy "whoop" came from the direction behind the mountain.
"Looks like we don't need tracking!" Hearing the wailing of the wolves, Lu Chen snorted coldly and said.
"Grandpa, these wolf cubs are obviously provoking us!" Hearing the wailing of the wolves, Lian Xiude also said coldly.
"No, it's the wolves preparing to eat the corpses of their own kind!" Lu Chen directly explained that before the wolves ate the corpses of the same kind, they would gather in a circle, and after wailing for a while, they would start eating.
"It's all about killing each other, and wailing twice, this is hypocrisy, right?" Peng Zun spat disdainfully, clenched the Tang knife in his hand and said.
"Let's go! We're going to meet these wolves! Lu Chen pulled out the pistol from his waist, loaded the bullet with a "click", and walked in the direction of the wolf's howl.
The others were tightly guarding Lu Chen's side to protect Lu Chen, as for Fang Qi and Peng Zun, they came directly in front of Lu Chen, leading a team of soldiers to open the way.
When Lu Chen led everyone to the back of the mountain, he saw about 30 wild wolves, surrounded by more than 20 wolf corpses, raising their heads and wailing at the sky.
