Chapter 85: The Wolves Must Be Led Over
That night, the wolves did not come again.
The villagers stared until dawn, and then continued to work desperately on the protection project.
Traps were dug one after another, and they were all equipped with sharp wooden thorns. The children had almost finished picking up the nearby stones. If it were not for the bearing capacity of the shelf, Jiang Wan would have wanted to take the children to pick them up elsewhere.
Some come over.
Erlang and his men cut many wooden arrows and made many launchers.
Jiang Pan and his men melted all the kitchen knives in every household and beat them into sharp knives.
A sharp knife tied to a strong wooden stick becomes a very handy weapon.
All the methods they could think of were used, and now they were waiting for the wolves to attack.
These wolves are very cunning. They seemed to know that the people in the small mountain village were fully prepared, so they did not show up again for two days in a row.
The villagers were hung up by them for several nights, and everyone's eyes were red. In the end, they started to hope that they would come soon.
Jiang Wan let Ponyboy go and let him see what the wolves were doing.
As a result, Ponyboy went out for a walk and came back with some news that I don't know whether to consider good or bad.
Jiang Laoer and his team were targeted by the wolves.
When Jiang Wan told Jiang Pan the news, Jiang Pan pursed his lips tightly.
"Dad, don't think so much. The old god said that everyone has his own destiny, and the path he chooses is his own. Whether he lives or dies is determined by fate."
Jiang Pan touched her little head: "That's what I said, but if I had stopped them forcefully, maybe they could have escaped this disaster."
Jiang Wan didn't think so: "If you can avoid it this time, you may not be able to avoid it next time. Dad, even the old gods don't care about trivial matters. Why do you, a mortal, worry so much about it?"
When Jiang Pan thought about it, it made sense.
He did everything he could, but he still couldn't change the minds of those people, so their life and death had nothing to do with him.
What he needs to worry about are the people who choose to go on the adventure with him.
Two more days passed, and the villagers took the protection to the extreme, but no wolves were seen.
Some villagers couldn't help but murmured: "Don't these wolves dare not come because they see that they can't take advantage?"
Orion Yang said solemnly: "I think they want to trap us to death in this forest. After all, our food is limited. If we stay trapped any longer, we will run out of food and we will have no choice but to go out. By then, we will be so hungry."
If you have no strength, how can you be a match for those beasts?"
The villagers were a little unconvinced: "They are just a bunch of beasts, how can they have such thoughts?"
Orion Yang said: "Don't underestimate these beasts, they are very smart. We have to think of a way to lure them over, otherwise we will be consumed by them."
What method can be used to lure the wolf over?
Jiang Wan looked at her horse and had an idea.
"Dad, let me ride a horse to lure the wolf!"
"no!"
Jiang Pan refused without even thinking, "How could you, a little girl, do such a dangerous thing?"
Jiang Wan spread his hands: "Dad, you have forgotten that I am protected by the old god. Speaking of it, I am the safest one. No one is more suitable to go than me."
Jiang Pan still shook his head: "Even if there are old gods, I can't let you go!"
Jiang Wan took a step back: "Then, how about you go with me?"
Jiang Pan still disagreed.
Jiang Wan felt helpless: "Dad, don't hesitate. Many families in the village have almost run out of food."
"No one can go as well as our father and daughter. I have the protection of the old gods, and you are the village chief. If our status and conditions cannot go, then who else can go?"
Jiang Pan was speechless for a moment.
"Let's go, dad, don't delay, let everyone get ready, let's go back quickly, lure those wolves over, kill them for meat, and use wolf skins to make clothes for the winter!"
Jiang Pan was finally persuaded by Jiang Wan, but he didn't dare to tell Chen Yuezhi about this, for fear that Chen Yuezhi would tear him alive.
In order to prevent Chen Yuezhi from knowing that he was taking Jiang Wan to lure the wolf, he also asked Su to find an excuse to trip up Chen Yuezhi.
Su didn't know that Jiang Pan wanted to take Jiang Wan to lure the wolf, so she just thought it was Jiang Pan who wanted to do something, so she agreed.
But what could she do? She could only pretend to have a stomachache, which frightened Chen Yuezhi so much that she quickly felt her pulse and took care of her carefully.
There were many traps dug around their camp, and if they wanted to get out, they had to build a long board.
The horse's hooves stepped on the board, making a clicking sound.
Chen Yuezhi subconsciously wanted to check the situation: "Isn't our horse locked up?"
Su Shi quickly screamed in pain again, which frightened Chen Yuezhi and hurried back: "What's wrong? Does it hurt too much again? Don't be afraid, mother is here."
After Jiang Pan took Jiang Wan out of the camp, the villagers immediately removed the boards to ensure the safety of the camp to the greatest extent.
Jiang Wan asked Ponyboy to lead the way, and the father and daughter followed behind on saddleless horses.
The place where the wolves live is deep in the mountain forest. No one has visited this forest for years, and the trees and weeds have grown without clues. Fortunately, there have been droughts in the winter, otherwise people would not be able to travel in it.
Jiang Pan took a hatchet and chopped to clear the way, fearing that the branches would scratch Jiang Wan.
The father and daughter did not walk very fast, because their purpose was to attract the wolves, so they only needed to wander around in the forest to spread the human scent. Going too far would not be conducive to their smooth return.
Soon, Ponyboy sounded a warning sound in the air that a wolf was approaching.
Following Ponyboy's guidance, the father and daughter saw the wolf.
I saw two gray wild wolves standing in the distance, looking at them, but they had no intention of getting closer.
Jiang Pan narrowed his eyes: "These beasts are smarter than we thought. This is because there are few of us and we are afraid of traps, so we don't dare to come."
Jiang Wan looked at the wolves and said, "Then stimulate them and make them lose their minds."
"How exciting?"
Jiang Pan was a little confused, "Are you still going to get closer?"
Jiang Wan nodded: "Yes, let's get closer and kill these two wolves. Once the smell of blood dissipates, those wolves will naturally not be able to calm down."
After all, beasts are beasts. No matter how smart they are, they cannot control the bloodthirst in their nature.
Jiang Pan hesitated: "Is it too risky?"
"Dad, there is an old god here, so what are you afraid of? Just do it and that's it!"
As Jiang Wan spoke, she took out her weapon.
It was a very sharp dagger that Jiang Pan made specially for her. It was palm-long and a little big in her hand.
He used his superpower to give the horse an order to move forward. The horse sensed a dangerous aura ahead and was reluctant to move forward. However, it did not dare to disobey Jiang Wan's order, so it had to express its dissatisfaction by puffing while walking.
.
After the horse moved forward for a certain distance, Jiang Wan suddenly shot out the dagger in his hand.
She was strong and accurate, and before the wolf could react, he was struck with a dagger in the forehead and heart.
