Chapter 11: Who is the Prey?
Guan Chang twisted his eyebrows and vomited after looking at the corpse, and then waved his hand to ask Wang Qihe, who had just stopped vomiting, to bury these fragments with the Golden Three Treasures.
Guan Chang sat in front of the empty fireplace and thought, if it weren't for himself to let people patrol the night and make sure that the flame was not extinguished, if it were not for the shelter of this Orion cabin...... Maybe he was the one who was attacked by the wolves last night. So can you, a master, fight a pack of wolves?
Fortunately, the wolves retreated on the opposite route to their own......
When Guan Chang thought of this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Immediately after that, the hairs rose at first, and a cold sweat came down.
"Oh no!" Guan Chang jumped three feet high and hit his head on the roof with a bang. Ignoring the pain, he shouted to everyone, "Bring your things and get ready to go, you can't delay any longer!"
"What's the situation?" Song Xiong asked.
Guan Chang said: "Hurry up and go to the mountains, Feng Lao and they are still helping us build a house." They have no shelter, they don't know martial arts, and they don't know that wolves are around. โ
Song Xiong's eyes widened, he inserted the folding fan into the back of his neck, and immediately urged everyone to set off lightly.
Everyone was in a hurry to report the newsโor to rescue, and they didn't dare to slack off.
They walked in the opposite direction along the new path they had taken, much faster than before. Rao was so, and when they returned to the hut where they had separated, it was empty.
Guan Chang knew that this was a matter of human life, so he didn't dare to rest, just ate a mouthful of dry food, and walked to the next logging point with stars and moons. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he walked faster and faster, and trotted directly with everyone.
I don't know if the "light exercise method" of Guan Chang before the pit really worked, in short, everyone ran quite fast, and they didn't feel very tired. However, Li Biao and Li Siwen's health is slightly worse, and Li Feihu occasionally needs to take care of them.
Feng Lao and the others are building a house on the mountain, and now they have just left for a day, and the house must not have been built yet. There was no bunker in the field, and the clearing was cut down by them. Once the wolf came, Feng Lao and the others couldn't even go up the tree!
"Whew-" A wolf howl pierced the night sky, followed by a second, a third...... The wolves seem to be gathering!
......
A few hours ago.
There was no sunshine in the woods again.
Zhang Xiaocai, a stonemason, was very irritable all day, and he swore from the morning that he heard the wolf howl last night, but everyone said that he didn't hear it.
Everyone was adamant that he had listened to the fork. In particular, Lao Feng also began to talk about his experience with reason: he has been in Tan County for so many years, and he has never heard of a wolf in Yinling. Not only that, but he explained why there were no wolves in Silver Ridge from a geographical and biological point of view......
But Zhang Xiaocai had his own insistence, and he was extremely determined in this matter! After finishing a day's work, he stubbornly led his apprentices to surround everyone with some wood.
Liu Kai is a shrewd person, he vaguely remembers that there was a strange sound last night, but he is not sure if it is the wind. He has always been suspicious, and he would rather believe that he has a style of acting that he does not believe or not. So he also helped Zhang Xiaocai to arrange defenses together.
"I said, Brother Zhang, why do you know that voice is a wolf howl. Liu Kai asked while helping to carry the logs.
After the two of them worked together to get the sharpened wooden fence and the antlers fork that resembled a horse, Zhang Xiaocai replied with a pant: "I heard it once many years ago, and I can't forget it." โ
Liu Kai still wanted to ask, but Zhang Xiaocai turned his head and worked harder.
He saw that Zhang Xiaocai didn't want to mention this matter, so he stopped looking for boredom.
......
The moon is in the middle of the sky, and there is no wind and no clouds.
Facts have proved that Zhang Xiaocai's stubbornness and Liu Kai's suspicion saved everyone.
Liu Kai, who was keeping vigil, shouted as soon as he saw the green light in the forest, "The wolf is coming!"
He then lit the oil. Several huge logs were completely set on fire, and everyone was surrounded by the lit logs in the center.
"It's on fire, run!"
"What's going on?"
"Wolves, where are the wolves?"
Several of the little apprentices were no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and one of them couldn't stop shaking. If a wolf had glared at him now, the child would have been stunned.
"Papapapa" made three crisp sounds, Zhang Xiaocai waved his hand and pulled a big ear scraper for the three of them. At this time, it is useless to preach or anything, and they must be woken up. Otherwise, if you panic, your own people will collapse first.
"Listen to me. Zhang Xiaocai seemed calmer than everyone else, "No one can get out of this circle, going out is a dead end." All cheer up, whether you can live or not depends on who is ruthless!"
Liu Kai looked at Zhang Xiaocai, whose eyes were blood-red, and was full of curiosity about Zhang Xiaocai's methods to deal with wolves, but at this time, he could only listen and not ask more.
Feng Lao also spoke at this time, and usually everyone looked at him as the horse's head. But today's situation is indeed his big mistake, but it is Zhang Xiaocai who saves everyone.
"Listen to Xiaocai's command and hold on! These pieces of wood are enough to burn for a while, but wolves may not understand this. With that, he picked up a wood knife, tore a piece of cloth from his clothes, and tied the knife to his wrist.
Liu Kai took a few torches and fire tongs and gave them to a few juniors, without saying a word.
Everyone came to their senses and found that there were at least twenty wolves outside the ring of fire.
Six men waited in battle, waiting in the ring of fire.
etc., is the most uncomfortable.
Until a few people were already sweating profusely, I didn't know whether it was hot or cold.
Eventually, the wolves lost their patience first, and several wolves tried to get past the burning logs, but were caught by the fire and twisted back in mid-air with a wail.
The two wolves tried to drill through the fence, but they got stuck, and Zhang Xiaocai, whose eyes were red, broke their necks with a stone hammer.
After the first meeting, the two sides were at a stalemate again. Zhang Xiaocai squinted his eyes and observed the actions of those wolves.
While they observe the wolves, the wolves are also observing them.
The wolves were actually more confused than them, and they never expected that these prey would be prepared.
Among the wolves were a few old wolves walking back and forth around the ring of fire, and in a moment they noticed the flaws.
There are still a few obvious omissions in the defense arranged between Zhang Xiaocai and Liu Kai in a hurry. Two of the logs had too thin branches at the junction, and the fire was getting smaller and had a tendency to go out.
Everyone also discovered this flaw, and Lao Feng took the lead with a torch in one hand and a firewood knife in the other, walked over and guarded the opening. His apprentice followed, ready to fight.
Everyone understands that if they are targeted by these beasts, they will not die, and a few apprentices have endured hardships no matter how hard they are angry, and they also understand what to do when they encounter wild beasts in the mountains, and so far no one has retreated.
A wolf took advantage of the decrease in the fire to pounce and confront Lao Feng. Liu Kai didn't know where he got the courage, so he took a fork and went around the wolf's back and forked the wolf on the ground.
The wolf twisted violently with pain, Liu Kai's heart shook, and his hand trembled and did not grasp the fork. As soon as he was in a trance, he saw a wolf with a fork on it pounce on him fiercely. His apprentice let out a loud cry and grabbed the fork.
With great strength, the bolt shouted, and then forked the wolf and waved it in the air. Zhang Xiaocai's apprentice took another fork, and the two worked together to burn the unlucky wolf to death on a log.
The wolf's whimper soon died down. It's just that in addition to the crackling sound of fire, all that is in everyone's ears is the vicious whine of wolves!
Everyone knew that the wolves were completely enraged, and several people did not dare to separate again, and stood in a circle back to back, holding various "weapons" in their hands.
"Be careful!"
"It's coming!"
Several wolves jumped into the field at the same time from multiple directions, their claws did not occupy an area, their bows bounced, and they pounced!
Feng Lao only hated himself for not listening to Zhang Xiaocai's words now, otherwise if they prepared more defenses together, they would at least be able to block another hour. If it is until dawn, there may be a glimmer of life......
His distraction was only a blink of an eye, and he suddenly felt a heat behind him, and his back was actually scratched by a wolf. The personal apprentice who was supposed to be behind him collapsed to the ground at this time, and he was so frightened that he was so frightened that he was urinating and feces.
In the moment when the little apprentice was stunned, another wolf had already pounced on him and bit him on the throat.
Large strands of blood flowed all over the ground against the firelight. The wolf lifted its blood-stained head and stared at the few figures still standing as if in demonstration.
