Chapter 141: The Raven and the Wind
The evening breeze blows through Zhumayi as gently as a mother caressing her child. As a supply city for the strategic fortress of Lulongse, Zhumayi has been synonymous with fortification since its construction, and has since been dubbed the 'Northern Outer Skeleton'.
The prince personally drew the map and rebuilt the defense of the city in Mayi.
Crow.
Wind.
"So many crows? How bad luck does this person have to attract so many crows?" Li Changwen thought, feeling a cold breath pierce through the cotton clothes.
Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes blinked at the same time, and Li Changwen felt that his heartbeat had stopped.
The largest bird on the top of the old cypress spread its wings and flew sharply. Only then did Li Changwen see clearly that those were not crows, but pigeons, pigeons with inky fur, each as big as a giant falcon in the mountains, and their claws were glowing with pitch-black iron light. The pigeons all over the tree took off with it, and the sound of the wings cutting through the air was the strange sound that Li Changwen heard just now, he lived for nineteen years, Li Changwen had never seen such a strange scene, so many pigeons, so dense that it was like a swarm of bees that flew out after the hive was picked. After they were slightly taller, they spread their wings and glided towards the wood gate of the heated wine shop, and now they were no longer a swarm of bees, but a rain of arrows in flight!
"Mom!" Li Changwen screamed, ran back to the house desperately, took the door, leaned against the door and gasped.
The hard claws and beaks of the pigeon hit the opposite side of the chaimen, like countless iron arrows, Li Changwen felt the vibration from behind him, and did not dare to move, for fear that the pigeon would rush the door open. He was glad that the troubled boss had forced him into the mountains to find some fine hardwood branches to re-nail the current wood door before the snow fell, and if the original broken door was still there, it would have been torn like paper.
"Did you hit the evil spirit? Angered the mountain god? Or is this guest... Stealing pigeon eggs?" Li Changwen was struggling in his head.
"Hurry up, let's see if the window is closed?" Li Changwen shouted at the guest.
The guest stood up silently and stood motionless in front of the window. Look out the window at the flocks of dark shadows that flock around the hut. They're looking for a way in. But this is not easy, in the north, it was originally cold, the house could break the doors and windows but it must be sheltered from the wind, and the window of the heating restaurant was sealed with a wooden board in winter, leaving only a few gaps to breathe.
"What stupid are you doing?" Li Changwen was so anxious that he wanted to jump to his feet, these pigeons as big as falcons, find a gap for them to get in, and not let them peck to death? He glanced around, saw a grass rake leaning against the wall, grabbed it and put the door on it, and then he got out, and rushed over to plug the wooden pin on the window.
Just as he was about to catch his breath, he heard a "cooing" sound from the roof of the wooden nails, and when he looked up, he saw a pigeon's head peeking out of the hole in the roof that had been forgotten to be repaired. The hole was only the size of a fist, and the pigeon was too big to get in for a while, and writhed desperately. Those eyes stared straight at the two living people in the room, shining green.
"Damn!" Li Changwen was in a hurry, and pulled out his slingshot from under the counter to catch birds. This slingshot has helped him solve a lot of food problems since he was a child, and he is very handy. Li Changwen touched a pebble, raised his head and shot out. The stone hit the edge of the hole and missed. With Li Changwen's slingshot, if it is hit, it is probably not a problem to break the pigeon's head. But at the last moment, the pigeon retracted its head. This ability to dodge is completely an alert bird of prey.
"Do you dare to stick your head in?" Li Changwen shouted.
The words fell, and a puddle of yellow-white pigeon droppings landed on his shoulder. This was just the beginning, more and more pigeon droppings fell through that small gap, drenching him all over his head, and I don't know how many pigeons were excreting in that hole. These pigeons are more vengeful than the women of the town.
There were waves of vibrations outside the doors and windows, and it was a cluster of pigeons that crashed into it, and these birds seemed to rush in as if they were not afraid to break their bones.
Li Changwen couldn't even hold the slingshot, his legs trembled, he didn't know what kind of enmity these pigeons had against himself or this guest, and the ruthlessness was simply going to eat them.
"Don't tremble, don't tremble!" he looked down and slapped his thigh. What's the use of shaking at a critical juncture? You have to think of a way.
"If you don't have the guts, find a corner to hide!" he shouted to the guest, "get out of the way." ”
