Li Daniu and Hu Dugu arrived early to wait in front of the old house.
I saw Zhang Bao and Lao He coming back from outside.
A little surprised.
But I didn’t ask much.
I thought it was Zhang Bao and the others who got up early and went out.
Zhang Bao noticed that Li Daniu was carrying a long bow on his back.
Only then did I remember that Li Daniu knew some carpenter skills before, so he must have made it himself.
It looks very rough.
The bow body is dark, and I don’t know what kind of wood it is.
The bowstring seems to be made of hemp rope.
In his hand he also held several bows and arrows made of reed rods.
Hu Dugu, on the other side, had a strange thing pinned to his waist. It was like a thigh bone. It had a curved end and was connected to a peach-shaped solid copper hammer.
He held a slingshot in his hand and a deerskin bag with a bulging inside at his waist.
In comparison.
Zhang Bao, this poor young master, is quite shabby.
Apart from the chipped kitchen knife, all he had in his hand was a thick wooden stick.
Lao He only had a thick short stick in his hand.
Talk about it.
It was really the 'mansion' that was to blame.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Bao didn't say much.
The four of them walked quietly toward the back mountain.
I don’t know if I want to be more proactive.
Li Daniu and Hu Dugu.
Get ahead of the curve.
Constantly clearing dead branches along the road.
The mountains and forests in winter are very chilly.
Looking around, it was all gray.
Although there were no dense branches and leaves, when Zhang Bao and the others walked into the forest, their vision was still very dim.
Li Daniu really wasn't exaggerating.
before.
I often wander around in the woods.
Judging from the strong and dark muscles, he must have been in the woods during summer and autumn, so he is very familiar with it.
It actually saved Zhang Bao and the others a lot of energy.
At the beginning.
There is also a faint path in the forest.
Go deeper and deeper.
There was no path to follow, and the speed of several people also slowed down.
According to Li Daniu.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, things on the outskirts of the forest have long since disappeared.
If there are any living creatures, they are probably deep in the forest.
Those wolves are probably in there too.
For Li Daniu.
That day I saw Zhang Bao and Lao He kill two wolves with just the two of them, and I was very shocked.
He did not underestimate Zhang Bao and Lao He either.
According to the traces in the ground.
Walking all the way.
The snow falling in the past few days made the wolf footprints on the ground clearly visible.
As Zhang Bao walked, he looked at the situation in the mountains and forests.
It was beyond Zhang Bao's expectation.
The depths of the mountain forest are not as desolate as imagined.
The ground is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves.
There are also a lot of dead branches.
If we really bring all these back, there will be no problem with providing firewood throughout the winter.
Zhang Bao swept away the underside of leaves.
It's quite moist.
A layer of withered grass is densely spread on the ground.
The knots are the most common.
There are also a lot of censer grass.
These grasses are non-toxic and can barely satisfy your appetite.
Perhaps it was because the village had no shortage of food and dry grass was everywhere.
See these.
Zhang Bao felt somewhat at ease.
It would be nice to have something to eat without starving to death.
According to these things in the mountains and forests, if you save some food, it won't be a problem even if the whole village spends most of the year.
Solved the problem of survival.
Zhang Bao felt a lot more at ease.
While walking, I collected some edible dry grass.
At this moment.
Li Daniu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
In front of Li Daniu, there was a pile of wolf dung mixed with fur.
It was completely dry and cracked, and it was very eye-catching among a pile of dead grass.
"It should be around here."
"Master, you all should be careful."
Li Daniu turned around and said.
The voice was also a little trembling.
Although Li Daniu had gone into the mountains and forests before, he mainly hunted small animals such as hares.
I have never encountered a wolf.
Unexpectedly, wolves are now active in this area.
I can't help but feel a little scared.
Zhang Bao and the others nodded.
Go further in.
The dead leaves are also thick, and the traces of wolves are gradually becoming less and less.
You can hear the sound of pindrops in the quiet surroundings.
All you could hear was the cracking sound of several people stepping on dead branches and each other's heavy breathing.
Sudden.
In front of everyone, the grass rustled.
All of them were stunned.
Pay careful attention to the front.
A gray fox appeared in everyone's sight.
Maybe they saw that Zhang Bao and the others came with bad intentions.
He jumped out in a flash.
"Chase!"
Fox skin is more valuable than wolf skin, and there is no danger, so Zhang Bao will not let go of this opportunity.
The words just fell.
Li Daniu and Hu Dugu ran up instantly.
The agility of his movements was in sharp contrast to his previous dullness.
Zhang Bao and Lao He didn't delay either.
He jumped up and chased after him.
But Zhang Bao still overestimated his current physical ability.
Soon he fell behind.
Lao He may have been following Zhang Bao because of his injury.
Li Daniu and Hu Dugu have long since disappeared.
Just as Zhang Bao was looking around for the shadows of the two people.
Look up.
Not far ahead on the left.
A thin gray wolf was staring at him.
Zhang Bao quickly held the kitchen knife in front of him.
Lao He, who came from behind, also noticed the gray wolf that was so close.
Quietly approaching Zhang Bao.
I have the experience of fighting wolves twice.
Zhang Bao didn't have much fear.
It's just that I was chasing too fast and didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation.
The distance to the wolf is too close now, and there is no time to react.
However, this wolf seemed to be afraid of these two people who suddenly appeared.
He bared his teeth and faced Zhang Bao.
"Uncle He, don't fight hard."
"There are a lot of tree trunks here. Let's work together to make some noise and build a strong momentum. We'll wait for the two of them to come back before taking action!"
Zhang Bao lowered his voice and said to Lao He.
Lao He nodded.
Together with Zhang Bao, he kept hitting the trees with the short sticks in his hands.
The hollow sound was very harsh in the forest.
The gray wolf was a little overwhelmed by the sudden movement, and kept hissing and growling.
When Li Daniu and Hu Dugu heard the noise, they both rushed back.
Zhang Bao couldn't help but feel refreshed when he saw the two of them coming back.
"Look for the right opportunity and hit him on the nose, waist and legs."
"Come together!"
Zhang Bao shouted loudly and rushed forward first.
When I was in the field army, I learned how to deal with wolves in the wild.
Know that these three areas are the wolf's weaknesses.
When the gray wolf saw this posture, he realized what was happening and turned around and ran away.
"Chase!"
"Don't let it get away!"
"Shoot it with an arrow!"
Zhang Bao turned around and said to Li Daniu while chasing him.
Li Daniu stretched out his bow and nocked an arrow. An arrow grazed Zhang Bao's scalp and hit the grass in front of him.
"Shoot on target!"
Zhang Bao was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
"No...no more!"
Li Daniu stammered from behind.
Although he can use a bow and arrow, he is not a professional hunter. He can only use the bow and arrow with great force. When he was chasing the fox just now, he had already missed a lot of shots.
Hearing the voice from Zhang Bao's side, they rushed over before they had time to recover.
The only one left in my hand was the one from before.
The words just fell.
Zhang Bao saw a long black stick thrown out.
It hit the gray wolf's hind legs from a distance.
I couldn't help but be overjoyed.
When he came to me, he realized that it was the strange thing that Hu Dugu had pinned to his waist before.
"That thing is injured. It must not be able to run far. It's all in one go!"
Zhang Bao said to several people.
really.
He didn't follow a few steps.
An inconspicuous cave appeared in front of everyone.
