Chapter 116 There Are Wolves Howling
Chapter 116 A wolf howls
The swaying oil lamp in the main room swayed, making the shadows of Jiang Yan and Jiang Wen grow longer.
There was no lantern at home, and Jiang Yan spent a long time without finding anything that could hold a lantern. She was familiar with the roads in the village, so she left the yard in the dark.
"Little aunt, I'm with you."
Jiang Wen hurriedly put on his clothes and shoes and followed his little aunt. Jiang Yan didn't stop her, but slowed down and waited for him for a while. She was really scared of this black cloth in the middle of winter.
The two of them helped each other to the threshing floor, where several people had gathered, some of whom were on duty in the village today, and the village chief with a solemn look on his face. Everyone gathered around and lit a fire, and the light of the fire shone in the room.
, worried on every aspect.
"Aunt Jiang? Are you here too? Your third child hasn't come home either?" A woman stood up and asked.
Jiang Yan nodded: "You haven't come back yet. Are all the people on duty in the village so late?"
"No, at the latest today, my Dazhu said in the afternoon that some traces were found in the mountains. I guess the culprits have been caught, otherwise it would not have been so late."
"It's late at night, even if you encounter bad guys, you can't chase them directly. There are a lot of big bugs in the mountains. What should we do if something happens..."
"That's right! It's just a fool's errand. It would be better if nothing happens..."
Several women spoke to each other, and all of them had worried faces on their faces.
At this time, a tall figure hurriedly ran from the mountain crossing. It was Old Wu, who was carrying a bow and arrow and looking fierce.
He ran in a hurry, panting, and his chest kept heaving: "Village Chief! The mountains are not peaceful. The wolves have gone down the mountain. There are people from other villages in the mountains. I followed them all the way. They collided with the guard team patrolling today.
, please quickly call a few more men to follow me up the mountain to hunt wolves! Otherwise, if the wolves come down from the mountain, our village will be in danger!"
As soon as Old Wu finished speaking, the people around him all looked frightened. The village chief was even more panicked and immediately asked the village to call for help.
"Xiao Wen, go home quickly! Let the boss and the second brother get up. Our house is close to the back mountain. If the wolves go down the mountain, we will be in the most danger!"
Jiang Yan was equally panicked. In the memory of the original owner, a few lone wolves did enter the village the year before last and took away two children in the village. By the time everyone gathered the villagers to look for them, there were only a few mouthfuls left.
Ouch, ouch, ouch...
Suddenly there were several wolf howls, the sound was harsh and horrifying. The people in the village who had just fallen asleep were so frightened that they got up one after another. Every household lit up the fire that they were reluctant to light on weekdays. The men hurriedly put on their clothes and took out their clothes.
He picked up his weapon and rushed out the door.
The dogs of the people who raised dogs in the village kept barking, and the chickens, ducks, and geese were barking loudly. Even the two dairy goats that Jiang Yan bought were bleating a few times at this time. The gong in the village was beating loudly.
At this time, the whole village became noisy.
"Ouch!"
Another wolf howl!
"Woof woof woof!"
Linjia Village has a large population, and there are many dog owners. At this time, the wolf howled, and the dogs in the village also responded. The wolf howl got closer and closer, and all the poultry in the village became excited.
Jiang Yan was worried about Lin Xi. Thinking of the existence of the mall, she became bolder: "Brother Wu, take me up the mountain. I want to find my third child!"
Lao Wu looked solemn: "There are estimated to be five or six wolves in this group, all of which are adult giant wolves. I went up to the mountain to hunt today and saw them circling around the bamboo rafts. Lin Xi and the others should also have discovered it, and they will probably be there on the way back.
, it’s not safe for the two of us to go to the rescue, let’s wait for the village chief to find more people!”
Li Zheng, who had just climbed out of bed and ran over, adjusted his clothes and shouted: "Old Wu, can you see clearly who he is? Which village is he from?"
Old Wu shook his head: "I can see it clearly, but I don't recognize it."
Li Zheng yelled angrily: "Which bastard from this village! I said you couldn't find it in the daytime. It turns out that the killers these days come to cause trouble at night! Couldn't they have attracted this pack of wolves?"
The village chief was running around anxiously, and the howling of wolves in his ears made his heart tremble. Everyone in the village looked timid, and more and more people gathered, but no one dared to follow him up the mountain at this time.
"All the strong laborers in the village followed Lao Wu to hunt wolves in the mountains! Lao Wu is a hunter, so he has the best way to deal with these beasts. We don't want any more children in the village to be snatched away by wolves. This wolf has already touched our village. If we don't drive away
Come on, no one will be able to sleep well tonight."
After the village chief finished speaking, everyone was silent. Villagers, look at me and I look at you. No one said a word. Wolves can eat people. With one bite, they can tear off your arms and legs. Moreover, wolves can eat people.
They are social animals. Usually there is not just one wolf. Who knows how many wolves there are in the mountains. They are just ordinary people. If they go there, won't they die in vain?
A thin villager swallowed and said: "Village Chief, wolves are fast and have fangs, and they appear in groups. We also deliver food when we go!"
The village chief rolled his eyes at him and shouted angrily: "You coward, no matter how powerful the wolf is, it's just a beast. There are so many people in our village, but we can't defeat them?!"
Li Zheng also said coldly: "That's right! If everyone in the village is like you and hides in the house whenever there is danger, then you don't know how many children in the village will be snatched away by wolves every year! If you don't want your children to be
Eat the wolf! Just stand up like a man for me! Kill these beasts!"
The man's face turned red when he was told that, and he immediately booed and nodded. But the other villagers were so excited that they went home and picked up weapons, including hoes, sickles, rakes, sticks, and even several of them holding kitchen knives like Jiang Yan. A group of people
Wind, wind, fire and fire followed Lao Wu up the mountain.
"Mom! Don't follow us! We will definitely kill the wolves. Go home and wait for news." Lin Dong and Lin Nan, who were chasing after them, said panting.
A large group of men, only Jiang Yan, a woman, followed up the mountain. After hearing what Lin Dong said, the villagers noticed and everyone turned around to look.
"Xiao Jiang! You're a woman, so don't get involved and let us men do things like fighting and killing. If something happens to you, I can't be held responsible!" the village chief shouted angrily, speaking sincerely.
I want to persuade Jiang Yan to go back.
"No, I'll follow you. Don't worry, I'm right behind the crowd."
Jiang Yan shook her head. If there was really danger, she still had the means to save her life.
In the silent night, the howling wind and the howling of wolves were still in my ears. Before the villagers could continue to persuade, a creaking sound came, and several villagers with torches and lanterns ran forward.
Not far away, three groups of black shadows were reflected in the light, lingering around the crowd, with their mouths open, revealing terrifying sharp teeth, and sticky saliva, and low roars came from their throats,
It seemed like he was about to pounce on him the next second.
In the quiet forest, a wolf howled and howled at the neck, and the others followed suit and howled loudly. The sound shook the whole place and made people feel horrified.
