On the third day, the wolves really went down the mountain. The first to bear the brunt was the original Zhao family's house halfway up the mountain, but all the people in it moved to Yu's house. There was no smell of food, so the wolves walked around the halfway up the mountain and the house just built by the Liu family at the foot of the mountain, and went straight to the yard of the Yu family's neighbor, the Qian family.
There are more than 100 ducks in the yard of the Qian family. Although it is a disaster year, ducks are not like chickens, they need a lot of food. As long as the ducks are released into the pond during the day, they can forage for themselves. Small fish, shrimp, snails, and mussels are their feed. The Mao family plans to raise these more than one hundred ducks until the end of autumn, and then sell them one after another.
It happened to be September 15th, and the moonlight was as bright as water. Yu Hai climbed up the wall of his house and could clearly see the besieged Qian's house. Some traps were also dug around Qian's house, which played a role in trapping a few wild wolves. But there were too many wolves. Some of the hungry wolves tried to jump on the wall again and again, and some violently smashed their bodies against the broken wooden door of Qian's house...
The ducks in the backyard of Qian's family were squawking loudly. The wall of Qian's house was not as high as that of Yu's house, and the wolves leaped several times, but a few stronger wolves jumped onto the wall.
Yu Xiaocao lay on the roof, looked at the Qian family worriedly, and asked in a low voice: "Father, are you sure that Uncle Qian and Aunt Qian's family are not at home?"
"Yeah! The day before yesterday, your Uncle Qian said that he would stay at your Aunt Qian's natal house in the evening. Last evening, I looked at the village where their family left." Yu Hai held a bow and arrow in his hand, his eyes shining brightly in the moonlight. the light.
Only then did Yu Xiaocao feel relieved. She heard the screams of the ducks, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that the ducks raised by Aunt Qian will probably become dinner for the wolves!"
Although Yu Hai couldn't see the situation in Qian's backyard, he guessed, "It shouldn't be a big loss! When your Uncle Qian left, the door leading to the pond in the backyard was opened. The ducks were frightened, so they probably forgot to run in the pond. The ducks They will definitely be ruined by wolves, but not all of them will be killed."
Yu Xiaocao climbed to the highest part of the roof, and under the moonlight, she could faintly see messy ripples in the direction of the lake, which should be traces left by ducks swimming in, and she immediately felt relieved.
The old god Zhu Junyang sat on the roof, looked at Yu Xiaocao with a relaxed expression, and said sarcastically, "I can't protect myself, why bother for others?"
Yu Xiaocao turned her head strangely to look at Zhu Junyang's sitting posture as if walking on the ground, and then looked at her awkward lying movement, curled her lips and said, "What do you mean by that?"
"The wolves can't find food in Qian's house, so they will naturally shift their targets. Yu's house is next to Qian's house. Tell me who is the next target of the wolves?" Zhu Junyang expressed his contempt for Yu Xiaocao's IQ. A person who is usually so smart, why is his brain not enough now? Was it frightened dizzy by the wolves
Who is the next target? It is clear! Yu Xiaocao smiled wryly as she saw the wolves rushing out of the backyard after knocking down the door of Qian's house, and some of them were already running towards Yu's house.
"Get ready! Take your positions!!" Zhu Junyang gave orders to his dozen or so guards. Bamboo ladders were erected on the walls of Yu's house, and a number of skilled guards climbed up the walls, pointing their bows and arrows at the outside of the wall.
Yu Xiaocao was still lying on the high roof, tied a piece of meat to the bamboo pole, and stretched the bait out of the wall like fishing.
The first one to come was obviously the leader of the wolf pack. It still remembered the trap outside the wall of Qian's house, stopped and watched not far from the wall of Yu's house, and howled shortly at the pack of wolves behind it. Most of the pack stopped around the alpha wolf. But among the wolves, there were many stupid wolves who were dazzled by hunger. They smelled the aroma of meat and rushed towards the bait regardless of the warning of the wolf leader.
A tall and strong gray wolf jumped up high, with a stinky mouth, and rushed towards the piece of meat that Yu Xiaocao was holding. Xiaocao nimbly lifted the bamboo pole up, but Gray Wolf bit the hole and fell straight to the ground. As soon as its hooves touched the ground, it heard a few "clicks, clicks", its feet stepped on the ground, and it fell into a deep trap. The sharp bamboo sword in the trap pierced the gray wolf's soft abdomen, and immediately the smell of blood filled the air.
The other two hungry wolves, wanting to compete for the meat, jumped up when the gray wolf fell, and they did not survive. The three wolves were trapped in a trap and were more or less injured. The inside of the trap is big and the mouth is small, so it is impossible to climb up!
Yu Xiaocao moved around on the roof, and placed the piece of meat on top of another trap. This time, she put the meat so low that it almost touched the ground. The gluttonous wolf who had flinched a bit, was ready to move again.
Yu Xiaocao turned her head, showed a smug smile at the little county king, and said, "How is it? Our ability to catch wolves is pretty good, right?"
Zhu Junyang reminded her: "Look at the bottom of the idea, be careful that extreme joy begets sorrow..."
As soon as he uttered the word "sorrow", he saw the piece of meat in Yu Xiaocao's hand being grabbed by a bony old wolf. Although the old wolf bit the piece of meat, it still could not escape the tragedy of falling into the trap. Even after falling into the trap, the old wolf still did not give up the piece of meat in his mouth. But Yu Xiaocao was caught off guard and was dragged by the old wolf to fall outside the courtyard wall, seeing that half of her body had already gone out.
Yu Hai, who had been paying attention to this side all the time, roared with tearing eyes: "Cao'er, quickly throw away the bamboo pole in your hand, quickly throw away!!"
It happened in the blink of an eye, and it was too late for Yu Xiaocao to throw away the bamboo pole in his hand. She felt that her center of gravity had already moved off the roof, and fell straight towards the several wolves on the ground who were staring at them.
If it just fell like that, it would either fall into the trap like the old wolf just now, with several holes pierced through its body by the bamboo sword; or it would fall into the pack of wolves and be torn to pieces...
In desperation, Yu Xiaocao did not forget to communicate with Xiaobutianshi: "If I fall into a trap and get injured, can you guarantee that I will not die? Or if I fall into a pack of wolves, can you prevent the pack from biting me?"
[If it doesn't hurt the vitals, it should be fine. If you fall into the pack of wolves, it is estimated that the god stone will not have time to react, and you will be bitten and riddled with holes. Most of these wolves are vicious wolves that have eaten people, and they are not as easy to tame as Big Hui...] Xiao Butianshi also answered her question seriously.
"Then it's over! It seems that you have to change the owner of Xiaotangyuan..." Yu Xiaocao was extremely unwilling. After traveling for more than two years, she still hasn't enjoyed enough love from her parents, brother and sister; she hasn't had time to try love. sweet. Is it such a tragic loss of wolf mouth
Body slipped out of the wall little by little, Yu Xiaocao's heart was full of despair, she closed her eyes tightly, two lines of tears slid down her cheeks...
Just when she almost slid out of the wall, her ankles tightened suddenly, her body swayed, and she hung upside down outside the wall at ninety degrees vertically, her nose came into intimate contact with the blue brick. Tears welled up in Yu Xiaocao's eyes, her nose hurts so much! It's the physiological reaction to being bumped in the nose, okay
"Don't cry! Coward!! How can I let you fall with my master here?" The voice of Xiaojun Wang came from the direction of his feet.
Yu Xiaocao turned her head and saw that her ankle was being grabbed by the Xiaojun Wang, and the guy's expression of wanting to be beaten was clearly discernible in the moonlight. Seeing Yu Xiaocao looking over, Zhu Junyang deliberately shook the hand holding her ankle. Then, Yu Xiaocao swayed a few times like a dead fish.
"Be careful!" Yu Xiaocao suddenly felt her ankle tighten, and her body was lifted up a few meters. A gust of wind drifted by, and a row of white teeth in the corner of her eyes quickly approached her. Less than two centimeters from the top of her head, there was a pause of two seconds, and the row of teeth fell down quickly again. Yu Xiaocao took a closer look, and it turned out to be a wolf, which rushed towards her, and then fell into the trap below her.
Yu Xiaocao was so angry that smoke came out of her seven orifices, and her face was flushed with blood. She yelled at Xiaojun Wang: "You are using me as bait! You almost killed me, do you know that!! Pull me up!!"
What will happen to the bait in the end, just look at the dead piece of meat in the trap that is still clinging tightly to it, and you will know!
Zhu Junyang also broke out in a cold sweat. If it wasn't for his quick reaction, the little girl's head would have been bitten off by the wolf. He hastened to use his hand vigorously, and with the other hand, he grabbed the clothes behind Xiaocao, lifted her up, and gently put her to sit on the roof.
"Okay, don't cry! It was my fault just now... Didn't it hurt you?" Seeing Yu Xiaocao's tears streaming down his face, Zhu Junyang rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said carefully.
Yu Xiaocao gave him a hard look, and touched her nose—it hurts! But thankfully, her nasal bone was not broken. There is no plastic surgery institution here, a broken nose will make you ugly forever, okay
Zhu Junyang pinched her pointed chin, pushed her hand away, looked carefully, and said, "What's wrong with the nose? Didn't it hit the wall and be flattened? It seems to be bruised. It didn't bleed. It shouldn't be there." What a big deal!"
"Go away!!" Yu Xiaocao pulled away Xiaojun Wang's hand that was pinching her chin. What does it look like? This action is like a dandy molesting a woman from a good family. Men and women can't kiss each other, even though my mother is only ten years old, she's past the age of seven years old, okay
Just as Zhu Junyang was about to say something, he was interrupted by Yu Xiaocao's exclamation: "Damn it! The wolves are hitting the door again!! These nasty guys must be planning to repeat their old tricks and try to break open our door. Come in!!"
Zhu Junyang didn't rush, rubbing his fingers, the smooth and fat touch of his fingertips made him feel strange. Glancing at his fingers, he raised his head to look in the direction of the courtyard gate, and said softly, "Don't worry, it's all right! Your gate is strong, and the latch has been replaced with an iron bar, so the wolves can't break it open!"
Then, he raised his voice again: "One group is ready, shoot the wolves, aim, and shoot the arrows!"
