Chapter 14 The Night Attack of the Wolves
Shui Zheran immediately pulled a branch and wrapped it with a rag strip, then rubbed the strip with the fat from the pig's trotters and lit it on fire.
Shui Ling thought for a moment, then went directly to the kitchen to get out the waste oil from the range hood. He also took apart a cotton mop and took it out to make a few torches.
"Mom, don't run around, I'll go take a look." Shui Ling lit the torch and went out holding the bundle in his hand.
There are not many people holding torches, not because they don't know how to do it, but because they are reluctant to part with strips of cloth and oil.
Shui Ling gave all the torches to the clan leader, "Grandpa, I just made this, please pass it on. If the wolves come, everyone will not be well."
The patriarch nodded, with relief in his eyes. He didn't waste any time, and distributed the torches by name, but he still kept two as spares.
"Wolf is coming!" someone shouted.
Shui Ling followed the sound and looked over, and could see several green lights in the darkness. Those were the eyes of wolves. They were afraid of torches and did not rush into the crowd.
She was depressed. The smell of meat must have attracted the wolves. It was not safe for her family to live on the first floor.
Everyone moved very quickly, and soon the fire was lit, and the mountain was illuminated brightly, and the wolves could be seen clearly.
There were more than a dozen of them. They were huge, with drooping tails, and the fangs protruding from their mouths shone coldly.
Shui Ling looked up at the top of the mountain. The people on top gathered in a grass shed and lit a bonfire. There were sparse bushes on the mountain, so there should be no wolves up there.
"Shui Ling." Gong Qianyu ran over anxiously and pulled Shui Ling behind him.
Shui Ling stared blankly at his broad back, oh my god, why is this little kid so popular? Does he really want an old cow to be willing to take care of young grass?
However, Gong Qianyu said dullly: "Put down your sleeves, what's wrong with so many men looking at you?"
Shui Ling, "..." Damn, I'm so likable, I can't stand it at all, what can I do if I show my little arms?
However, she still put down her sleeves silently, probably because she was rubbing the pig pancreas. Her hands and arms were unusually white and tender, which was incompatible with their dark skin.
The wolves were not in a hurry to attack. One wolf sat down there and narrowed his eyes.
Shui Ling was startled. Isn't this what was written in the book as "One wolf pretends to sleep"? What's next? Damn it, all my books have been read in vain.
However, I still remember that this wolf is paralyzing people's nerves, and other wolves must be waiting for opportunities to attack.
She looked away and looked around, and sure enough she saw three lurking quietly on the left.
"There are three on the left, be careful." Shui Ling immediately warned.
The clan leader threw the torch in his hand with a look in his eyes, and the three wild wolves were immediately forced back. The few people standing there were shocked and quickly shrank back into the crowd.
Shui Zheran was originally standing in the back row. He hesitated for a moment before taking out the machete, holding it in his hand and holding the torch to stand next to the clan leader.
The patriarch was stunned for a moment when he saw his sword, but said nothing.
Shui Zheran explained in a far-fetched way, "I picked it up from the mountains. I polished it when I thought it could be used."
"Well, it should belong to those people on the other side of the river. Use it well and don't be timid." The patriarch Zhi Ruoyu gave an instruction.
Shui Zheran chuckled, knowing in his heart that this weapon had passed the test.
While the two were talking, a smaller wolf on the right pounced up silently and went straight to the clan leader. It actually knew who was the leader here.
Shui Zheran reflexively protected the clan leader behind him, and raised the knife with one hand to strike the wolf's head hard. The wild wolf didn't expect the human to react so quickly. He couldn't avoid it for a moment, and half of his head was chopped off and he twitched several times.
Just die.
The wolf leader's eyes flashed fiercely, he stood up and let out a roar. The other wolves stopped pretending and started attacking directly.
They all attacked people who avoided the fire and looked for darkness. Some people without torches were bitten and screamed in agony.
Shui Zheran himself had a strong sense of justice. How could he ignore these people? He immediately rushed to the wolf leader with a machete and slashed at him like a god of war.
The wolf leader moved quickly, sideways to avoid, opened his big mouth and bit Shui Zheran's calf fiercely.
Shui Zhe then took a step back and swept the knife in his hand towards the wolf's neck, not to hit it but to force it to retreat.
The wolf leader took a few steps back, lowered his body, and bared his teeth in an attacking posture.
Shui Zheran stared into its eyes. This was a battle between strong men.
The situation in Shuiling was not good, and few of the villagers were very skilled. Although there were no deaths, there were many injured, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Gong Qianyu tightly protected Shui Ling behind him, but Shui Ling was heartless and not moved at all, and even disliked him for blocking her from seeing the battlefield.
A half-sized wolf suddenly jumped out from Shui Ling's back. Gong Qianyu immediately turned around and hugged Shui Ling, waving the torch in his hand to drive it away.
But the little wolf still bit him on the arm, and blood spattered Shui Ling's face.
Shui Ling was stunned for a moment, and immediately took out a dagger and stabbed the wild wolf in the neck. The wild wolf bit Gong Qianyu's arm and failed to avoid it. A hole was poked in the neck, and it immediately released its mouth and turned around to run away.
Gong Qianyu seemed not to be afraid of pain and praised: "Good job."
Shui Ling pursed her lips tightly, and her enthusiasm for watching the excitement completely dissipated. Only at this moment did she feel the danger. This was not a dream, not watching a movie, but a real wild beast attack. If you were not careful, you would die.
She looked at Gong Qianyu's bleeding arm and immediately pulled him towards the cave, hoping that her mother would bandage him.
But Gong Qianyu held her back and said, "Don't go. The entrance to the cave is blocked by bamboo. Wild wolves can't get in. It will be dangerous if you move away."
"But your injury..." Shui Ling found that her voice was vibrating and her nose was sore.
"It's okay, just a minor injury." Gong Qianyu looked unconcerned.
This is a minor injury, so what is a major injury? Shui Ling sniffed, what if there is rabies?
On the other side, Shui Zheran shouted and rushed towards the wolf leader who was confronting him, grabbed the hair on its scalp, and swung the machete with one hand and slashed several times.
The wild wolf leader let out a scream, which soon became silent. The wild wolves panicked when they heard the leader's scream. Those who were not injured immediately retreated. The injured ones tried to run but were jumped by the villagers and beaten to death with sticks.
The clan leader breathed a sigh of relief. The first battle with the beast was won, but there will definitely be a second and third time in the future...
He didn't care to think about it and shouted: "How many people were injured, they all came to the fire. I still have some golden medicine for sores."
Shuiling immediately ran back to the entrance of the cave, moved the bamboo away, and found that the floor in the center of the cave had been pulled to the corner, leaving a vacant space.
Su Qin had a scarf wrapped on her head, with only her eyes exposed. Her eyes were full of solemnity, and she said seriously: "Let the injured who need sutures come over, and I will suture their wounds."
Shui Ling opened her mouth, but did not refuse in the end. Her mother was the vice president and worked as a surgeon step by step, so the principle of treating illnesses and saving lives has been deeply engraved in her bones.
Even during confinement, she will focus on patients. In fact, all medical workers are great, both ancient and modern.
"Okay, I understand." Shui Ling nodded, turned around and ran out.
