Chapter 12: Wolf Howl

This piece of phalloides looks numerous, but the jagged leaves of the phalloides are small and sparse. Even with such a large piece, the visual inspection can only pick about 50 catties at most.

Fifty catties sounds like a lot, but eleven people, on average, are less than five catties per person, which is only enough to eat for two or three days.

After two or three days, I had to find new wild vegetables. Moreover, you can't eat this all at once, and the ghost needle grass is not so delicious.

Thinking of this, Wen Xian suddenly lost the surprise of finding wild vegetables. Feeding such a large family is really an extremely difficult task.

However, it is better to have two days' worth than two days' worth of nothing.

Wen Xian gritted her teeth and violently slashed at the leaves of the ghost needle grass, and the resentment that emanated from her whole body frightened Xia Zhi to the side unconsciously.

When the two came out, they brought plantain leaves to pack wild vegetables, but there were too many ghost needles, and the plantain leaves couldn't be packed too much.

So, Xia Zhi took off his coat and spread it on the ground very decisively, using it to pack more ghost needles.

Wen Xian glanced at her meaningfully a few times, then came back to her senses and continued to pick up ghost needles. Sure enough, it's easy to say anything if you're motivated.

I used to kill the clothes that I didn't want to take off, but now I don't take them off very decisively.

By the time I finished picking the ghost needleweed, it was almost dark.

Although Wen Xian still wanted to go into the woods to see if there was anything else, when she heard the faint wolf howl, she could only quickly pull Xia Zhi away.

"Howling wolf?" In the cave, Zheng Rou suddenly said in a loud voice, "It's over, it's over, there are really beasts in the woods, or wolves." What to do, what to do. Wolves are social animals, and there is a pack of wolves. ”

She would rather Wen Xian scare her, not really a beast.

This is not over, as soon as she finished howling, the powerful beautiful girl Sheng Li'er sobbed in a low voice.

"Am I going to die like this, I'm still so young, I don't want to die yet. I came to the island with all the hard work, just to survive a few more years. Sheng Li'er burst into tears, how pitiful and pitiful she was.

If Wen Xian hadn't known that she was a strange girl, she would have been deceived by this soft and weak appearance in front of her.

She was still a little shocked, she didn't expect the strange girl to be a crybaby.

Looking at the familiar faces of the others, she knew that this was normal.

She twitched the corner of her mouth and said speechlessly: "What's the panic, I just vaguely heard it, and I'm not completely sure." Moreover, even if the sound is true, it is still deep in the mountains, far away from us. ”

In short, for a while, the wolves will definitely not come out. But you still have to do something about it, just in case.

Sheng Li'er was still sobbing in a low voice, and the other people's faces were not very good, and they could see that they were really frightened.

Wen Xian simply skipped this topic and diverted her attention: "It's going to be dark soon, let's set up the arrangements, rest early, and take turns keeping vigil." Ming'er has to continue to look for food, so that the family will not panic when there is surplus food. ”

Now there are two large piles of firewood piled up in the cave, which is enough for half a month for the time being. The cave was also under the leadership of Jiang Jingwan, and two chase shops were packed out.

At the bottom of the Chase Shop are dry branches to prevent moisture, and on the dry branches are several layers of hay.

Although there is little hay, it is better to have a softer cushion than to sleep on the ground.

Originally, the cave was relatively humid near the sea, and even the surrounding air was filled with a burst of moisture.

If you don't find a way to reduce some moisture, I'm afraid it won't be long before everyone will collectively get rheumatism.

"But there are wolves." Sheng Li'er pursed her lips and said pitifully, "What if I fall asleep and the wolves come over." Our little arms and legs are not enough for wolves to eat. ”

Helpless, the wolf can only slaughter it. Finally escaped and died in the wolf's belly, which is what everyone fears.

If so, it would be better to die in the sea for a hundred years.

The corners of Wen Xian's mouth twitched slightly, and she pinched her eyebrows helplessly and said: "Life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky." Hades wants you to die for the third watch, and you won't survive the fourth watch. ”

She continued: "We will do our best to obey the destiny of heaven, the wolf is afraid of fire, and light a small fire at the entrance of the cave at night. If there is any movement, the night watchman will throw more firewood into it to light the fire, and then wake up the others, and we will face it together, life and death together. ”

Since the success of drilling wood for fire, Wen Xian no longer worries about the problem of fire.

And the torch is indeed the most effective tool to expel the wolves at the moment.

Of course, it may not work. But it's better to be prepared than nothing.

"Is it really okay to have a torch?" Sheng Li'er stopped sobbing and said with teary eyes.

Wen Xian nodded and said firmly: "Yes." ”

Of course you can, you have to be able to. Hand-to-hand combat alone is only a dead end.

If there is a way to deal with it, everyone will be relieved, and it will be easy to get tired when the body and mind are relaxed.

Zhou Hui volunteered to be the first vigil: "I still have a menstrual cloth that I haven't finished sewing, and I have to light a fire on the left and right, so I will keep vigil first, just by sewing more menstrual cloth by the firelight, so that Ming'er can free up his hands to do other things." ”

Her stitches are dense and neat, and every menstrual cloth is sewn extremely carefully.

Moreover, cutting the fabric with only a dagger is quite a test.

So, in the afternoon, she only finished cutting the fabric, and made the cloth for another two months.

"Then I'll be with you." Sheng Li'er said weakly, "I have a lot of strength, what can I do to protect you." ”

Another reason was that she was a little scared and couldn't sleep. Rather than tossing and turning and not being able to sleep, it is better to keep vigil.

If there is no accident in the first half of the night, she can sleep well in the second half of the night, and she will not be frightened all night.

Wen Xian glanced at her unexpectedly, raised her eyebrows and said, "Yes, you two will stay in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, I will take over from you." ”

She thought that with her perseverance in studying medicine, she could keep a vigil alone.

The second half of the night is especially difficult, so let these delicate concubines recuperate first. When I did my internship in my previous life, I could have stayed overnight, but it was only the middle of the night, which was not a problem at all.

"Then how can it be done, Mrs. and eldest sister don't have to keep vigil." Wu Junlan replied, "I came with Lingling in the second half of the night, and I will continue to change people tomorrow." The nine of us took turns, and Madame could rest in peace. ”

No matter how down, they still have respect and inferiority in their bones. They thought they were blessed and could not accept the Queen Mother's vigil for them.

Jiang Lingling nodded fiercely and said, "That's right, I'll keep vigil with Sister Lan." ”

She had to keep vigil more, and she kept watch for her cousin's share.

Wen Xian shook her head and said, "I'll guard it today, and if you want to keep it, you will wait until tomorrow." Rest assured, I said, it's all the same here. Everyone had to keep vigil, and no one could run. ”

Seeing what Wu Junlan wanted to say, she immediately added: "Listen to the arrangement, there will be a long time in the future, and everyone will have to take turns to keep vigil before we have a formal place to rest." ”

Work in pairs, one at the middle of the night and one at the second half of the night. Two people together, it's good to have a care.
