After kicking the wooden house away, Xu Mu's face turned cold.
No bandits have been seen in the past two days, and the only people who entered the village were You Wencai and Xia Shuang in front of them.
Poor Xia Shuang was already holding a firewood stick and hiding in the corner shivering. But Juventus was still lying on the bed like a dead person, sleeping soundly.
Xu Mu was not polite and directly kicked him down. Juventus was so shocked that he rolled over like a carp and got up in a panic.
"Xu, Brother Xu?"
"Let me ask you again, did you encounter bandits when you came here?" Xu Mu's voice was deep.
With You Wencai's temperament, he might not be able to act as an inside spy, but it is very possible that the bandits might have tricked him without him realizing it.
"No! If you don't believe me, just ask my humble wife!"
Xu Mu turned around and looked at Xia Shuang.
Xia Shuang nodded hurriedly.
"Look, you misunderstood me."
"Dong, boss, we didn't encounter bandits, but we picked up a strange thing." At this time, Xia Shuang spoke again.
"Something strange? Take it out."
You Wencai glared at his wife, but fearing that Xu Mu would be angry, he tremblingly pulled out the exquisite small wooden cage and handed it to Xu Mu.
Without waiting for a few more glances, Xu Mu took hold of the wooden cage and noticed a putrid smell that hit his nose.
Some look like freshly rotten dead rats.
With a cold face, Xu Mu broke open the wooden cage with his hands. After a while, a puppy-like animal corpse appeared in front of him.
"Xu, Brother Xu, you can't take it away! This is mine!" You Wencai kept chattering, deciding that this was a valuable thing and he was afraid that Xu Mu would snatch it away.
"Shut up! If you say one more thing, I'll throw you out to feed the wolves!"
Zhuangzi's life was in danger, and Xu Mu was too lazy to do Tai Chi anymore. He shouted angrily, and Yu Wencai was so frightened that he hurriedly ran into the house.
"Boss, this is a wolf fetus!" Old Hutou came over, his voice trembling, "No wonder those mountain wolves were attracted, this must be the wolf fetus of the alpha wolf! Those cunning mountain bandits cut open the female wolf's fetus
In the belly, this wolf fetus has just taken shape."
"Old Hutou, what should I do?" Xu Mu gritted his teeth.
Now everything makes sense. Hong Dong, the ladle leader, first attracted the mountain wolves to surround the village, and then waited for the opportunity to act.
"Master, if you believe me, go kill two old horses right now, pack up the wolf fetuses, and put them together outside the village."
"Chen Sheng, go kill two horses!"
Chen Sheng, who was arranging his bow, trembled when he heard Xu Mu's words.
A few days ago, we used these old horses to kill the bandits, and now we have to... kill the horses again.
"Donkey grass, go quickly! Do your old father, wife and children still want to live?"
This sentence finally made Chen Sheng's face change drastically, he roared and rushed towards the small racecourse.
At this time, the wolves outside had already rushed under Zhuangzi. The sound of claws scratching the wood was like a reminder to people's ears.
"Stab with a carbine!"
The nearly three-meter-long carbine, at this rare moment, exploded with power, knocking a mountain wolf that was just digging at the wooden wall to the ground, and continued to scream fiercely.
"Master, the horses are here!" Chen Sheng, covered in blood, and several other women staggered over carrying two horse corpses with difficulty.
"Throw one on each side."
After gathering the wolf fetus, Xu Mu took a breath, carefully picked up the hemp rope and tied it up before walking to the arrow tower.
Mountain wolves one after another, following the scent of wolf fetuses, went crazy, chasing Xu Mu's footsteps and running over.
"Xu Lang, be careful!" Jiang Caiwei held the old hatchet in her hand and wanted to follow Xu Mu up, but Xi Niang was behind and hugged her tightly.
At this time, the two horse corpses were eaten clean in less than a moment, and more and more mountain wolves gathered crazily at the wooden wall under the arrow tower.
The entire wooden wall swayed and seemed to collapse.
Xu Mu exhaled and slowly lowered the hemp rope hanging the wolf fetus.
A huge old wolf jumped up from the pack, bit the wolf fetus tightly in mid-air, and then waved its head.
Xu Mu was so shocked that he was about to let go of the hemp rope.
Boom——
The wooden block beside the arrow tower was immediately smashed by Xu Mu's body, and Xu Mu's whole body also fell under the wooden wall.
"Brother Mu!"
"Master!"
"Xu Lang!" Jiang Caiwei's eyes were red, and her whole body collapsed.
"I'm not dead yet..."
Under the night, Xu Mu's entire body seemed to be hanging in mid-air. At this time, a skinny hand tightly grasped the corner of his robe.
Less than two steps away from his feet, a mountain wolf was constantly jumping up and down. If he fell down, not even the bones and dregs would be left.
"Senior." Xu Mu's eyes were in disbelief. The person who saved him was actually an old scholar.
"Hey, my son Li Poshan is going to conquer Beidi, how can he die in such a wilderness. Eh? I can't catch him."
Xu Mu's face turned pale. Fortunately, Si Hu hurried over and with his strong arms, he pulled Xu Mu back to the watchtower.
"Senior, thank you very much." Xu Mu looked up, only to find that the old scholar had run back to the firewood pile and started drinking wine leisurely again.
The wolves were howling, but he acted like a normal person.
"My boss, the wolf has retreated!"
"The wolf retreats!"
The whole Zhuangzi burst into wild shouts.
Xu Mu took a breath, raised his head and moved forward. Sure enough, in the rain curtain, one after another, mountain wolves quickly rushed into the nearby dense forest.
"What's the truth?" Chen Sheng asked strangely.
"The biggest purpose of this group of mountain wolves surrounding the village should be for the wolf fetus. After getting the wolf fetus, they left." Old Hutou explained with difficulty.
No matter what, the wolves retreated, and there was finally no danger.
"Master, everything's okay."
Xu Mu still frowned, not daring to take it lightly.
He could imagine what a miserable situation it would be if the wolves entered Zhuangzi if he hadn't handled it promptly enough.
Fortunately, we managed to hold on.
"Master, there's someone here!" Sure enough, about half a stick of incense later, dozens of men in coir raincoats appeared in the dense forest outside Zhuangzi.
The clang of a sword being drawn out of its sheath was faintly audible.
"It's a bandit."
If you guessed it right, this group is the elite bandits on Laobei Mountain, and there are many weapons made of iron.
"My boss, they want to pick up Zhuangzi."
After the wolves harmed Zhuangzi, these bandits came back to steal valuables, which was called picking up Zhuangzi.
But fate is not as good as man. Even if the mountain wolf is attracted, Xujiazhuang still holds on.
"Pick up your weapons!" Xu Mu shouted angrily in a cold voice.
The young man took off his long bow again, and the women below also took out sticks and guarded nervously behind the village gate.
If Zhuangzi is broken, everyone will die.
"You go down too." Xu Mu turned his head and found that beside him, his wife Jiang Caiwei ran over without knowing when, with a nervous look on her face.
"Xu, Xu Lang, the slave family will protect you."
"Go down!" Xu Mu's face suddenly darkened, and the arrow had no eye. Besides, what was wrong with a girl standing on an arrow tower?
Jiang Caiwei's eyes were red, she hugged the old hatchet and walked away reluctantly.
"Master, why don't they move?"
"Zhuangzi couldn't pick it up, so he was thinking of a way." Xu Mu didn't even raise his head.
He suddenly felt that the boss, Hong Dong, was not a reckless man. On the contrary, he was most likely a scheming person.
