Chapter 6 Cold-faced and warm-hearted Zhao Qingshan
For ordinary people, this is indeed a hurdle, even if they are facing an enemy who hates and gnashes his teeth. But for Guo Dajing, it will be quick to adapt.
Blood and flesh are splattering, and you are screaming and wailing. Can you still hold the knife steadily? Can you still concentrate? Can you quickly turn around to deal with other enemies?
When you are excited and angry, you may be able to lift the knife and drop it. Then, when you look at the bloody corpse, your eyes are dull and your mind is blank, or is it you who turned your head and vomited?
Guo Dajing narrowed his eyes, and a few green lights flashed not far away, and he quickly approached. He took out his slingshot, set up his crossbow, and stared vigilantly and nervously through the gaps in the weeds.
The wolves are coming! There are five of them in total, moving forward in a staggered manner, as if they are in some kind of formation.
Winter is also a difficult time for wolves. In order not to starve to death, they sometimes even eat their companions.
Smelling the smell of food, the five wolves came around. But their ears pricked up alertly, and their slender eyes flashed with a faint green light, which was eerie and scary.
Guo Dajing opened the slingshot, and the tip of the homemade arrow moved slowly, aiming at a wolf.
Guo Dajing lacked confidence in the wooden arrows and was not too sure about the accuracy. Therefore, he aimed at the body of a wolf and turned it sideways. The area was large and the probability of hitting was high.
The alpha wolf seemed to hear something, and suddenly raised his head alertly, searching the surroundings with his faint green eyes.
Bang, whoosh! Guo Dajing let go of his hand, and the huge elastic force pushed the arrow. It was less than twenty meters away, and it arrived in a blink of an eye.
Ouch - a wolf howled and fell to the ground struggling. Its side was hit by an arrow, and even the tip made of wood still caused great damage to the soft parts.
The arrow shot from top to bottom, diagonally piercing the wolf's abdomen and piercing the ground.
The four wolves jumped and scattered, letting out low roars, looking around and searching.
Guo Dajing retracted his head, leaving only a small gap, observing the wolf's reaction, and slowly took an arrow with his right hand and placed it on the slingshot.
The injured wolf finally broke free from the arrow, but the injury was fatal. It let out a low dying cry and fell to the blood-stained snow after walking a few steps.
If it were a gun, the sound of the gunshot should be enough to scare away the wolves. But the silent arrows did not have that effect.
A wolf took a few cautious steps, sniffed and sniffed in front of its dead companion, and let out a low roar.
Whoosh! Guo Dajing fired another arrow, and after fine-tuning it became even more accurate. The distance was too short, and the arrow arrived in an instant, without affecting the balance too much.
There was another howl, and the wolf's neck was shot through by an arrow. It jumped up in pain, but fell to the ground after running a few steps.
This time, the wolf finally discovered the location of the attacker, roared, and formed a semi-circle around the entrance of the cave. Its green eyes shot out a cold light, which was frightening.
Guo Dajing stopped hiding. He took out the steel ball, opened the wide cover, and hit the wolf in the middle. He was more comfortable hitting the steel ball. He didn't want to kill him, he just wanted to run away.
Ouch - the wolf screamed, and one of its green eyes immediately disappeared. It rolled on the ground in pain and ran away quickly.
The other two wolves also turned around and ran away without looking back, running very fast.
…………………..
The shrill and frightening howling of wolves can also be heard in the village. Although it happens often, Xiaoni is worried and looks outside the house, worried.
It was so dark that she couldn't see anything, and her hands and feet were so cold that she almost lost consciousness. Xiaoni returned to the house, huddled next to the fire, and muttered pitifully: "Big brother hasn't come back yet, and the wolf howling is really scary."
"
Sister Li Xiu quickly comforted her: "It's okay. Brother Guo is a good person and will not be in danger."
Zhao Qingshan snorted and said angrily: "Those who died of cold and hunger along the way are all good people. Wolves eat people, but it doesn't matter whether Guo Yazi is good or bad."
Xiaoni wrinkled her little nose and said stubbornly: "Brother Dajing must be fine, he will be back soon." In order to express her dissatisfaction with Guo Mazi's address, the little girl directly said Guo Dajing's name.
Zhao Qingshan threw a piece of firewood into the fire. Sparks flew out and crackled several times. His face flickered and he frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long while, Xiaoni lowered her head and muttered again: "Brother Dajing must be fine, let's go back now!"
Zhao Qingshan slowly clenched his fists and stared at the fire, his eyes blinking slowly, full of haze.
"I'll go to the entrance of the village and take a look. If I get a fire, Brother Jing can see Liang'er..." The title is changing again, showing the little girl's confusion, and she can also hear that she is closer and more concerned.
When Xiao Ni made a sound again, Zhao Qingshan's eyes flashed and he stood up, startling everyone in the room.
"It's so annoying, that stinky girl keeps mumbling." Zhao Qingshan turned around and walked out with anger on his face, "Guo Duzi was eaten by a wolf. I'll pick up two bones for you and stop your mouth."
Xiao Ni was so frightened that she stared blankly as Zhao Qingshan slammed the door and left.
Sister Li Xiu hurried over and hugged Xiao Ni to comfort her. Xiao Ni snuggled into Sister Li Xiu's arms and started sobbing, muttering intermittently: "Brother Jing has not been eaten by wolves, he will come back."
Zhao Qingshan rushed into the night, touched the ax on his back, and strode towards the entrance of the village. When he passed a house, Zhao Qingshan hesitated and pushed the door open.
There were several people in the house, talking around the fire. Suddenly someone came in, and they all turned their heads in surprise.
"You surnamed Zhao, you came to my door for two crows?!" A strong man stood up and grabbed a hatchet.
Another strong man also stood up, staring at Zhao Qingshan with an unkind expression, holding a stick in his hand.
An old man hurriedly stretched out his hand and pressed down, and persuaded: "Don't do anything, just say it properly."
After saying that, he turned to Zhao Qingshan and said pleasantly: "Qingshan, these two boys are ignorant. I have already scolded them. I will return it to you when I catch the prey."
Zhao Qingshan waved his hand and said: "I'm not here to ask for anything. Guo Dajing went out during the day and hasn't come back yet. The wolves are howling fiercely outside. I want to ask someone to go and have a look."
After a pause, Zhao Qingshan added: "Even if I was eaten by a wolf, I still picked up two bones."
Chen Sanxiang rolled his eyes, raised a broken hatchet with a chipped tooth in his hand, and said, "With this broken knife, can you survive when you encounter a wolf?"
"that is……"
Old Chen raised his hand, stopped Chen Sihe from echoing, and said: "Dajing is the only one left in the Guo family. How pitiful! If you live in this village, you can be considered a fellow villager. If you can help, I can help."
Turning to look at his two sons, old man Chen said: "Light more torches and go out with Qingshan to have a look. The wolf is afraid of fire and dare not come near."
After a pause, Mr. Chen warned again: "Don't go too far, it's dark and snowy at night, so pay attention to safety."
Chen Sanxiang and Chen Sihe looked at their father and smiled bitterly at each other for a long time, with helpless expressions on their faces.
One made fire from the fire, and the other went to get some pine branches and tied them randomly into torches. Then, the two brothers and Zhao Qingshan walked out of the house and walked out of the village.
