Within a few steps, they heard the howl of a wolf.

The three of them looked shocked.

"The sound seems to be coming from the cave." Lu Daneng said with a serious expression.

Tang Mian's heart tightened, "Could it be that Brother Lobby and they met a wolf?" ”

Lu Daneng's face changed slightly, "I'll go back and explore first." Lu Zhiqiang, you protect Mrs. Lu. ”

The words fell, and he picked up his luck and left.

"Second cousin, let's go back soon." Tang Mian looked worried and said quickly.

When she really met the wolves, although she couldn't help much, the medicine she bought from Dr. Wu was all on her. If someone is injured, they can also be given medication promptly.

Lu Zhiqiang looked at Tang Mian and finally nodded, "Okay." ”

If you don't let your younger siblings go back, something really happened to them, and my younger siblings are afraid that they will feel guilty for the rest of their lives, and he can't get over this hurdle in his heart.

"Brother and sister, you have to promise me that if there are really wolves, you must find a safe place to hide first, and you can't get close." Although he promised his younger siblings to go back, Lu Zhiqiang still instructed first.

Tang Mian nodded clearly, "Second cousin, I know." I can't deal with the wolf, and if it comes closer, it will cause you trouble. ”

Hearing Tang Mian's words, Lu Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, the younger siblings will be less likely to be attacked.

Next, both of them remained silent, cautiously approaching in the direction of the cave.

The sound of wolf howls came into their ears from time to time, and Tang Mian was so nervous that his palms were sweating. Lu Zhiqiang was not easy in his heart, he didn't know the situation in the cave at all, if it was really a pack of wolves, then they would be in danger.

However, Brother Lobby has a lot of experience in hunting, and he will definitely find a way to avoid it.

Yes, definitely.

Thinking about it like this, the tension in Lu Zhiqiang's heart decreased a little.

Tang Mian was also praying in his heart, hoping that the wolves did not go to the cave. Even if the wolves pass, I hope that Brother Lobby and they can avoid it smoothly.

The two of them had their own hearts and minds, and walked back in a hurry.

The closer you get to the cave, the clearer the howl of the wolf becomes.

Lu Zhiqiang clenched the sword in his hand and stared vigilantly at the surroundings.

As they were about to reach the cave, they ran into Lu Daneng, who had returned.

"Lu Zhutou, why are you back? What's going on in the cave? Lu Zhiqiang asked with an anxious face.

Tang Mian also stared at him, and his heart was lifted high.

Lu Daneng was relieved to see that the two of them were safe and sound, "There is nothing wrong with the cave." The wolves are on the other side, but not far from the cave. Lu Zhian said that he would arrange more traps, even if the wolves came, we could fight. ”

"Now, we have to hurry back to the cave and don't go outside."

"Okay, let's go back quickly." Lu Zhiqiang and Tang Mian's hearts were half relieved, and they followed Lu Daneng to the cave together.

When the three of them returned to the cave, Lu Zhi'an was setting up a trap, and Zhang Yi and Lu Dashan were quickly cutting wooden thorns.

"I'm here to help, too." Tang Mian said when he saw this.

Lu Zhiqiang and Lu Daneng looked at Lu Zhian, "Do you need manpower here?" ”

"No, you all go and help sharpen the wooden thorns, and you have to move quickly." Lu Zhian said without raising his head.

Lu Zhiqiang and Lu Daneng nodded, put the things back in the cave, and took out their swords to sharpen the wooden thorns.

They knew that this thing was meant to be put in a trap against wolves.

The wooden thorns put in the trap were different from the ones usually used, and Lu Dashan, who had already sharpened them well, told them what the wooden thorns should be cut into and how to cut them.

The three of them listened attentively, and they didn't cut two before they got started.

The five of them were immersed in the wood thorns, completely unaware of hunger and thirst, and they didn't even have time to share the joy of picking ginseng.

Two quarters of an hour later, Lu Zhi'an's sudden voice interrupted the movements of several people, "That's pretty much it." ”

Tang Mian and the five of them all looked up at Lu Zhi'an not far away.

At this time, Lu Zhi'an's expression was a little serious, and he said: "The sky is about to get dark, please catch your head and set up a trap with me and Dashan." ”

After speaking, he looked at Lu Daneng again, "Trouble Lu Zhutou and Zhiqiang to get some more trees." ”

"Okay." Several people answered.

After several people acted separately, Tang Mian cleaned up the ground.

When it was dark, Lu Zhian set up the trap. The trees cut down by Lu Daneng and Lu Zhiqiang were also peeled and cut into two feet according to Lu Zhian's requirements.

"Zhiqiang, you deal with the hare we hit before, move quickly, and don't let the smell of blood linger for a long time. Also, don't start a fire just yet. After Lu Zhian set up the trap, he looked at Lu Zhiqiang by the moonlight and said.

Lu Zhiqiang nodded, "Okay, I know." ”

Lu Zhian turned his head to look at Lu Daneng, Zhang Yi and Lu Dashan again, "Trouble Zhang Zhutou, Lu Zhutou and Dashan together, and move the cut wood into the cave." ”

"No problem." The three of them responded and immediately took action.

After the arrangement, he looked at Tang Mian again, smiled and spoke, "Brother and sister, it's dark and there is no fire, you go into the cave and stay, don't move, so as not to fall and get hurt." ”

"yes, okay." Tang Mian responded, but he didn't do anything.

Lu Zhian breathed a long sigh of relief, made vines and hung them at the cave door, leaving only some faint gaps to breathe, and then put all the branches he had cut down before outside the cave door to cover up.

With these things, as long as they are careful, they will not be easily detected by the wolves.

Even if it were discovered, the cave would be about four feet above the ground, which would be beneficial to them.

After everything was done, Lu Zhian looked around and checked it, and returned to the cave with peace of mind.

"It's time to make a fire." As soon as he entered the cave, Lu Zhian spoke.

Lu Dashan, who had been prepared a long time ago, lit the fire after Lu Zhian finished speaking.

Suddenly, the firelight illuminated the entire cave, and the tiredness on the faces of several people could be seen clearly.

Tang Mian handed over the water and dry food one by one.

"Thank you, brother and sister."

"Thank you, Mrs. Lu."

Lu Zhi'an and the five of them thanked each other and took it.

Tang Mian smiled, "You're welcome." ”

Lu Zhian took a sip of water, took two bites of dry food, and said, "We still have to use the trees in the cave to cut a batch of wooden arrows and make a few bows." If I did encounter wolves, the wooden arrows that I had occasionally sharpened before, as well as a few of my iron arrows, would be far from enough. ”

Several people drank water and chewed on dry food, nodding in response.

After waiting for his stomach to be no longer so hungry, Lu Zhian wiped his mouth with his backhand and said, "Zhiqiang, Dashan, let's move the two big stones in the cave to the entrance of the cave to block them." ”

"Okay." Lu Zhiqiang and Lu Dashan swallowed the dry food, patted the crumbs on their hands and said.

Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi glanced at each other, it was always difficult to watch, and they also got up to help move the stones.

The big rock is half as high as the door, so it's best to block the door.

After blocking the door of the cave, Lu Zhian nodded with satisfaction, and moved a half-human-high stone to the door.

"The night watchman stands on the rocks just enough to see what is happening outside the cave, and if the wolves come, they can see it at a glance." Lu Zhian clapped his hands and said.

At that time, the door of the cave is blocked by a large rock, and the wolf must jump if he wants to enter. When the wolf jumps into the air, they can shoot with arrows. In this way, the wolf will be injured even if it does not die.

Seeing the arrangements made by Lu Zhian, the other five people were greatly relieved.

"Alright, let's roast the hare and eat it." Lu Zhiqiang said.

At this time, no one objected, they were all starving, and it was useless to eat a piece of dry food.

Tang Mian smiled and put the remaining dry food in his hand back into the back basket.

Suddenly, Tang Mian's movements paused, turned his head to look at the people present and said, "When I went out with Lu Zhutou and my second cousin before, I picked a ginseng plant. ”

I've been busy since I came back, and I wouldn't have remembered it if I hadn't accidentally skimmed the cloth wrapped in ginseng.

Lu Zhiqiang and Lu Daneng also suddenly realized, not to mention, they really forgot about it for a while.

The three people who didn't go out with them all turned their heads to look at Tang Mian with a little expectation in their eyes, "How many years of ginseng?" ”

Tang Mian chuckled, took out the cloth bag and untied it, and spread it out in his hand for a few people to see.

Lu Zhi'an, Lu Dashan, and Zhang Yi all came around, their eyes full of joy, "This ginseng, I'm afraid it's not a short year, right?" ”

I feel refreshed when I smell it.

The three of them all stared at Tang Mian, wanting to know the answer from her.

Tang Mian breathed a long sigh of relief and replied happily: "At least three hundred years." ”

This kind of old ginseng, she doesn't know the specific year, she only knows a rough idea.

"Three or three hundred years?" Zhang Yi's eyes widened and he stammered.

Everyone present stared in disbelief, and then laughed out loud, "Great! ”

"With this ginseng, can we go back?" Zhang Yi said casually.

The laughter of several people paused, and they were silent for a while.

"My lord instructed, in addition to ginseng, try to find some other valuable medicinal materials." A moment later, Lu Daneng spoke.

After listening to Lu Daneng's words, Zhang Yi came back to his senses. I was happy for a while, and I just wanted to go back, and I left behind the orders of the county magistrate.

Tang Mian frowned slightly, and Lu Zhiqiang and the three of them also looked at each other.

Tang Mian thought for a while and said, "For other medicinal materials, we only found a fairly good He Shou Wu plant, and a shorter ginseng plant. ”

As for the dogwood, it is a medicine that strengthens and cures diseases, and it cannot be given to the brother-in-law. I believe that after my brother-in-law knows, he will not ask for it.

Lu Zhi'an looked at Tang Mian, glanced at Lu Zhiqiang, and finally spoke: "Since the county magistrate ordered it so, let's stay in the mountains for two more days and look for it." ”

Since the county magistrate has specially ordered it, he thinks that those medicinal materials are useful to him. In this way, they have to find it.

"I agree." Lu Dashan was the first to speak.

Tang Mian also nodded, "I have no opinion." ”

Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi have no opinion.

The unanimous vote passed, and the six of them were ready to stay in the mountains to find out.

As everyone knows, they haven't been home for a long time, and Zhou Xiaohua couldn't help but make trouble in the afternoon.

"I don't care, my family is in the mountains with Lu Zhi'an, Lu Zhiqiang and Tang Mian, if something happens to him, I will definitely look for you." Zhou Xiaohua pointed to Lu Zheng and Li's, and said.

Lu Dashan has been in the mountain for a few days, and now there is no news at all, and I don't know what the situation is.

She didn't want to be like Tang Mian and become a widow.

"Zhou Xiaohua, didn't Dashan explain it to you clearly before, and now you are coming to my house to make a fuss." Li said with a sad face.

When Zhou Xiaohua heard this, she immediately stiffened her neck and said, "What if you make it clear, can't I worry about him?" Since he entered the mountains, I have not eaten well or slept well, and I have lost weight. ”

"Whew! Zhou Xiaohua, do you want to be shameless! Wu Mei, who heard the wind rushing over, immediately replied.

Wu Mei ran to Lu Zheng and Li and waved Zhou Xiaohua's hand away, "Zhou Xiaohua, hurry up and go to the river to take care of your own fat pig." ”

"Since your man entered the mountain, you have eaten a lot of meat, why are you embarrassed to say that you have lost weight?"

Actually, Zhou Xiaohua is not much fat. It's just that she is lazy and does less things, and she is fatter than people who usually work more.

"I'm just thin, what's wrong?" Zhou Xiaohua crossed her hands on her hips and stared at Wu Mei with her eyes.

"Wu Mei, Lu Zhiqiang went into the mountain with him. He came back covered in blood last time, and if something happens again this time."

"Smack!" Wu Mei heard that Zhou Xiaohua actually cursed Lu Zhiqiang, and she was so angry that she immediately slapped her, "Zhou Xiaohua, shut your stinky mouth, the old lady's man must have walked out of Qingzhu Mountain well." ”

Zhou Xiaohua covered her face in disbelief, and screamed after a moment: "Wu Mei, you dare to hit me!" ”

"Hit you, hit you, who made your mouth stink to death!" Wu Mei is not afraid of her at all.

Lu Zheng and Li heard Zhou Xiaohua cursing Lu Zhiqiang, and they were also very angry in their hearts. But in the next moment, I saw Wu Mei slap over, and her eyelids jumped again.

This nephew's daughter-in-law's temperament is really straightforward!

"Wu Mei, I want you to look good!" Zhou Xiaohua shouted angrily and rushed towards Wu Mei.

Wu Mei is not a vegetarian either, and immediately scuffled with her.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng and Li immediately stretched out their hands to pull them away. But both of them are nieces and daughters-in-law, Lu Zheng's hand is not suitable, and Li can't pull it away alone, so he can only do it in a hurry.

"Zhou Xiaohua, Wu Mei, you all calm down."

Fortunately, the people who watched the excitement ran over one after another, and several women worked together to pull Zhou Xiaohua away.

"Phew!" A strand of Zhou Xiaohua's hair that was grabbed by Wu Mei fell into her mouth, and Zhou Xiaohua immediately spit it out.

Wu Mei's hair was not much neat, and she was almost caught into a chicken nest by Zhou Xiaohua.

"Zhou Xiaohua, what are you making trouble again, can't you live in peace every day?" Wang, the wife of the village chief, who was walking outside, heard the news and ran over, looked at Zhou Xiaohua and said helplessly.

Zhou Xiaohua's eyes widened, quite unconvinced, "Am I making trouble?" My mountain hasn't come out for a few days, and I'm dying of anxiety. ”

Wang's expression was stunned, but he still persuaded: "Zhou Xiaohua, the mountain is not for your family. When the time comes, won't you be happy when you earn money? ”

Of course, it's dangerous.

Zhou Xiaohua snorted lightly, of course she was happy to earn the silver.

"I don't care, Lu Dashan followed Tang Mian and them into the mountain together. If anything happens, be prepared to pay for it. If nothing happens, I don't bother to look for you. ”

After Zhou Xiaohua finished speaking, she glared at Wu Mei fiercely, and then turned around and left.

After a fight, my heart is much more comfortable.

Lu Dashan and Tang Mian didn't know all this. At this time, they had just finished eating the hares and continued to sharpen the wooden arrows.

After sharpening the arrows, they rested.

The matter of the vigil was handed over to Lu Zhiqiang, Lu Zhian, Lu Daneng, and Zhang Yi in rotation.

Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi, who were guarding in the middle of the night, looked at the layout of the cave entrance and knew that the protective measures were done well. But they were still very nervous, hoping that the wolves would not come to them.
