Volume 2, Chapter 42: Wolves

When Dalang heard the word "will-o'-the-wisp", he was so excited that he woke up. He looked at the twin pillars and was so frightened that he almost cried.

He rolled and crawled to a tent made of straw mats, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Four Four Four! There are ghosts out there!"

Dongming Ziyu was highly alert and had long heard the voices outside. When he left the tent, he saw many blue and bright spots of light in the darkness.

He returned to the tent and took out a hatchet, "That's not a will-o'-the-wisp, it's a wolf's eye!"

"Ah?! Wolf!" The people who woke up exclaimed, looking at Dongming Ziyu with fear in their eyes, "What should I do?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "Wolves are afraid of fire, so make the fire bigger! It's best to burn it in a circle around our camp."

"Okay!" After everyone heard this, they quickly got busy.

Dongming Ziyu also asked people to wake up the injured and elderly people and move them to the cave.

Shangguan Ruoli was busy collecting food in the space. When he heard the noise outside, he quickly came out.

Ling Yue also woke up, "Mom, something seems to have happened outside."

Shangguan Ruoli said: "You take good care of my brother, I will go out and take a look."

Rongchuan, who was sleeping on the side, also woke up and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will take good care of Sanya and Wulang."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, "Okay, thank you."

Rong Chuan's lips curled up, "It should be."

Shangguan Ruoli walked out of the cave as if he was afraid of stepping on a land mine, stepping over the jumbled arms, legs and head.

Dongming Ziyu saw her and came over, "Why are you out? Where are the children?"

"Asleep," Shangguan Ruoli looked around, saw the faint blue wolf eyes, and said, "It's a pack of wolves."

Dongming Ziyu said: "This place has not been affected much by drought. The wolves are not very hungry. The fire should be able to scare them. Don't worry, you can go back and rest."

Shangguan Ruoli estimated the number of wolves and said: "Let's sprinkle some poison into the fire. If we really attack, these people may not be the opponents of the wolves."

Wolves are very team spirit, with high endurance and unity. They will wait for the opportunity and attack when they find an opportunity. They work well as a team and attack from all directions. Moreover, they have a strong desire for revenge. They will attack one after another to the death.

Fight to the end.

Dongming Ziyu didn't dare to risk the lives of so many people, so he sprinkled the potion on the fire, and then sprinkled a packet of medicinal powder into a bucket filled with spiritual spring water, and let everyone drink a bowl.

antidote.

This trick was used against the bald brother and his gang. Everyone trusted him and drank the antidote one after another and put on masks.

The wolves had a very keen sense of smell and were highly alert. When they smelled the medicinal smell in the air, they retreated one after another and even found a spot upwind on the distant hillside to continue staring at the group.

Dong Chunlei sighed: "Have these beasts become sperm?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "The survival ability of animals is stronger than that of humans."

There were wolves watching eagerly, so everyone didn't dare to sleep anymore. After picking up all the dry branches nearby, they climbed up the tree, cut the branches, and put them on the fire to bake. They slowly started to burn, but there was too much smoke.

Gradually, the sky turned a fish belly white, and the morning glow came out.

The wolves saw that the fire was not extinguished, there was still thick smoke, and they smelled the smell of medicine in the air. The first wolf roared at them and turned away first, and the other wolves turned and followed one after another.

The anti-wolf battle was won, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and smiled in victory.

Erlang asked: "Uncle Fourth, is that wolf the leader? What does it mean when it roars at us?"

Dalang responded quickly: "I know, I know!"

Everyone looked at him, waiting for his answer.

Dalang said: "It said: Damn, you have been waiting all night in vain, retreat!"

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed heartily.

Suddenly, I heard a faint voice saying: "Maybe it means: Wait, I will come back!"

Uh! Everyone stopped laughing and looked at Dongming Ziyu who was speaking in horror.

Dongming Ziyu said: "Animals have territories, and this should be the territory of the wolves. We should leave here as soon as possible to prevent them from coming back."

When everyone heard this, they all got busy.

I didn't have a good rest yesterday, so I continued to travel today. I made solid food for breakfast and shared half of it with each person.

Shangguan Ruoli also made rice dumplings, each one as big as a glutinous rice dumpling. He took the opportunity to mix in the rice dumplings he made in the space last night, and when he got hungry, he would eat two each.

In order to rush for time, I didn’t set up a pot to cook at noon, and I didn’t know where to camp at night. I had to prepare more food so that the children wouldn’t be hungry.

The rice balls are filled with chopped wild vegetables, salt, and wild boar oil, and they taste very fragrant.

Of course, when the money was divided, it was the old lady Qian who divided it.

Mr. Dong and his four sons have two each, several men and Rong Chuan have one each, she and her four daughters-in-law each have one, and the girls have half a dozen each.

Shangguan Ruoli: "..."

If a man can't even get enough to eat twenty of them, what's the use of two? A rice dumpling as big as a glutinous rice dumpling can be divided into two halves, which isn't enough to fit between your teeth.

The girls ate it and tasted it: "It's so delicious, I'm even hungrier!"

Mrs. Qian secretly gave her own to Ling Yue while others were not paying attention.

Ling Yue stuffed it back, "Mom, you eat it!"

When Shangguan Ruoli saw it, he felt sad and dumbfounded, and advised: "Mom, I can't hold the rice dumplings, so I made a meal. I don't care if I'm full, so you can share it."

Mrs. Qian rolled her eyes at her, "You are a prodigal! There are so many wild vegetables and leaves in the mountains, and you are wasting so much food!"

Dongming Ziyu saw his daughter-in-law being scolded and said hurriedly: "Mom, one person can be divided into two. Let's stop early in the evening and I will take someone to hunt some prey. If you don't have enough to eat, how can you have the strength to walk and hunt?"

When Wulang, who was sitting in his arms, heard this, he immediately clapped his little hands and said, "Eat meat! Eat meat!"

The other children all cheered after hearing this.

The adults also laughed after hearing this.

The favorite fourth son spoke, and Mrs. Qian had to give him some face no matter what. Mr. Dong and his four sons gave two to each of them, and one to each of the others.

Zhong Rui next to him smelled the fragrance, swallowed hard, and looked at Mr. Zhong pitifully, "Grandpa..."

Mr. Zhong took out a wild fruit and coaxed him in a low voice: "My dear grandson, eat this first, okay?"

Zhong Rui was very sensible, nodded, took the fruit, and started to nibble on it.

Suddenly, two green rice balls appeared in front of him.

Zhong Rui looked up and saw Wulang's big black and white eyes.

Wulang stuffed the rice ball into his hand, "My grandma asked me to give it to you!"

Old Man Zhong held Zhong Rui's hand to prevent him from taking it. He looked at Old Mrs. Qian and saw her nodding expressionlessly, then he took the rice ball from Wu Lang's hand and said, "Thank you very much."

Zhong Rui held his fists and said, "Thank you very much."

Wu Lang was embarrassed by being thanked, so he ran back and threw himself into Shangguan Ruoli's arms.

Just now, he wanted to save one of his rice balls for Zhong Rui, and his father wanted to give him his own. Nai didn't want his father to starve, so he reluctantly took out two more rice balls.

After eating something, resting for a while, we continued our journey.

The explorer in front ran back excitedly and said, "Uncle Fourth, there seems to be a mountain village ahead!"
