At this time, Uncle Cui Qi heard the noise and hurried over. Seeing his granddaughter being rescued by Liu Qiaoer, he said anxiously, "Don't move. I'll go call for help..."
Liu Qiaoer said, "Uncle Qi, that's not necessary. Take the child back to the Taoist temple and lock the door. Leave these wolves to us."
Liu Qiaoer also took out a crossbow from the space and tied a sleeve arrow to it.
Uncle Qi hugged his granddaughter and ran away quickly, then closed the door when he returned to the Taoist temple.
The people carrying water also came back. When they heard that Liu Qiaoer and her friends had encountered a pack of wolves, they all came to help with their carrying poles.
But Cui Laoliu was the only man carrying water, the others were women, so Liu Qiaoer asked them all to go back.
There were originally four strong men in the Taoist temple, but they all went to dig a canal early in the morning, and some went to chop wood over there. They were far away from what was happening in the Taoist temple and did not hear anything.
Cui Laoliu went to call them up, and everyone else returned to the Taoist temple.
Cui Boxiao has already arranged the battle situation.
"There's one on the left, you deal with it. Leave the three in front to Long Batian. He's a robot anyway, so it doesn't matter if he gets bitten. Leave the two on the right to me."
Liu Qiaoer said: "Do you see the one on the right? That's a wolf."
Cui Boxiao took a look and said: "You can shoot with a gun, but you can't shoot with an arrow because it's too far away."
Liu Qiaoer was determined: "It doesn't matter. As long as we kill this group of wolves, I don't believe it can find other wolves to take revenge on us."
Everyone was watching in the Taoist temple and closed the door.
Liu Qiaoer, Cui Boxiao and Long Batian formed a triangle. Although they were surrounded by so many wolves, they were not afraid.
At Cui Boyao's command, the three men rushed forward, following the assignment just given, leading the pack of wolves.
There was only one wolf in front of Liu Qiaoer, which was relatively easy to deal with. She was using a short knife and needed to engage in close combat, so she had to use sleeve arrows and crossbows to weaken the wolf's strength at the beginning.
Then, after getting close, he hit the target with one strike.
The tactics had already been in my mind and I had gone over them again.
With a few "swoosh" sounds, the crossbow was fired. The wolf dodged for a while, but ultimately failed to dodge and was shot in one eye.
The wolf became even more ferocious after seeing the blood. It bared its teeth at Liu Qiaoer, roared angrily, and rushed towards her.
Liu Qiaoer shot at the wolf's eyes again, but this time the wolf learned its lesson and was able to turn and dodge while running.
Seeing the wild wolf rushing towards Liu Qiaoer, she lowered herself to the ground, knelt on the ground, and lay back, with the tip of the dagger facing upwards, and easily cut open the wolf's weakest part, its belly.
The wild wolf pounced and fell to the ground, unable to stand up.
Looking at Cui Boxiao again, he was dealing with two wolves, attacking from the front and back. Cui Boxiao held the short knife horizontally, bent his waist, bent his legs, ready to attack.
It seemed that he was rushing towards the wild wolf in front of him, but when the wolf behind him pounced, he decisively turned around and stabbed the wolf in the neck with a knife.
The two wolves cooperated very well. The wolf in front took two steps back to attract Cui Boxiao, and the wolf behind took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
But how can a wolf’s intelligence compare to that of humans? It was killed by Cui Boxiao with one move, and the wolf in front pounced on it immediately.
This time, Cui Boxiao faced the enemy head-on. He kicked the wolf in the face, then kicked it in the head in mid-air, knocking the wolf in front of him over.
He quickly drew out his dagger, stood up quickly, and confronted the wolf in front.
In just a moment, he rushed to the side of the wolf in front, grabbed the wolf's neck, and stabbed it hard with a knife. The wolf was also dead.
He killed two wolves, and when he looked at Liu Qiaoer, he saw that the wolf was also in trouble.
There was no need to worry about Long Batian at all. He was fast and strong, so even if he was bitten by a wolf, he would not suffer any damage, so he just used his knife to chop.
He killed one wolves at a time. Even though he was facing three wolves, he killed two of them. One of them escaped and he threw a flying knife at it, cutting off half of the wolf's head. He finished earlier than Cui Boxiao.
The wolf leader was watching from afar. After Liu Qiaoer killed the wolf, she planned to use a crossbow to deal with the wolf leader. If she didn't use a gun, the distance was indeed a bit far.
Liu Qiaoer didn't know either, but the wolf turned around and ran away.
What was originally a thrilling battle ended so quickly.
As soon as they stopped, the door of the Taoist temple opened, Uncle Pei and the people rushed out and started picking up the spoils. Several wolves were dead.
"We have meat to eat again. Oh, we can't eat it all. We can't eat it all. The wild boar meat has been made into bacon. We can just take it to the market and sell it."
"If we sell them, they will be snatched away as soon as we get to the market. It's better to keep them for ourselves. We have no use for the silver anyway."
"That's right. I use wolf skins to make clothes and a few pairs of shoes. I need wood to build a house, and running back and forth wears out my shoes."
"With so many wolves, we can have a good New Year this time."
Liu Qiaoer was still not familiar with the ancient people's way of calculating time, but as she counted the days and looked at the seasons in the mountains, there was not much snow and the wind was a little warm, so spring was indeed about to arrive.
Wild boar meat, wild goat meat, roe deer meat, and wolf meat are enough for the thirty-five people in the village.
Cui Boxiao turned his wrist. He hadn't fought with anyone for a long time, so his hands were numb. He almost sprained his wrist when he turned it just now.
"What's the date today?"
"It's already the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month."
It was indeed only a few days before the Chinese New Year. Cui Boxiao waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go hunting for another day, and start to rest tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, on New Year's Eve, we will prepare for the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, we can talk about building a house."
After saying that, he leaned close to Liu Qiaoer's ear and whispered, "In fact, our house has already been built. Now we are building Master Pei's house. Since we are going to live here, at least we have to live comfortably."
Cui Boxiao took the two men, Uncle Pei, Xiaoshuang and others and went into the mountains again.
Liu Qiaoer went to the house that Cui Boyao had just built to clean up.
The house was made entirely of wood, with gaps filled with adobe. To prevent rain leaks, the roof had three layers: a layer of wood, a layer of weed adobe, and a layer made of something unknown, like bark, and painted with homemade paint from the woods.
The house is not big, but it is very warm. There is a brick bed in the house, a stove outside the house, and the kitchen is outside.
Cui Boxiao’s ability to survive in the wild is indeed very strong. Although the house he built is not luxurious, it is very comfortable.
Liu Qiaoer started cleaning. She first boiled a pot of hot water and mopped the house inside and out. The temperature in the house was high, so the work dried as she mopped.
Here, she can finally use the things in the space.
First take out the mat and spread it on the kang, then take out a thin down quilt. There is also plastic film in the space, take out a large piece and spread it on the table.
There were also some clothes. Although she was wearing a cotton jacket and cotton pants on the outside, like the men here, she was actually wearing warm clothes and cotton socks underneath. A set was also prepared for Cui Boyao.
Everything was almost ready, and Cui Boyao and his friends returned when it was dark.
