He wore a mended gray coat full of mud stains on his upper body. He had a dark complexion and bright eyes. You could tell at a glance that he was an ordinary farmer.
He lazily turned over and glanced sideways at Lightning.
There was still a hint of laziness in his tone that he had just woken up.
"I'm sorry, Brother Hai, I don't know what's wrong with Lightning, it keeps barking." Yun Xiao said apologetically.
"Not good." Another person looked at the old man and suddenly exclaimed.
"Grandpa Hai, what's wrong?" Yun Xiao looked at the energetic old man in front of him and asked doubtfully.
Uncle Hai and Brother Hai are grandsons. Because Yun Xiao promised each of them fifty gold coins, they agreed to take Yun Xiao into the mountains.
One person has fifty gold coins, and two people have one hundred gold coins.
For people in rural areas, it is already a sky-high price.
Although Grandpa Hai is fifty years old, he is still in good health for someone who has been working in the fields all year round.
In order for his grandson to find a wife as soon as possible, Grandpa Hai had to accept this deal.
He was a hunter in the early years and entered the Phoenix Mountain all year round. This Phoenix Mountain was the one he was most familiar with.
The other man was about thirty years old and was Grandpa Hai's neighbor in the same village. He also led Yun Xiao in order to find a wife for his son.
"This dog keeps barking, is agitated, and keeps tugging at Little Brother Yun's clothes. This means a ferocious beast is coming."
Grandpa Hai finished his words.
A long roar of "Ouch~~~" confirmed Grandpa Hai's words.
Everyone's muscles tightened immediately.
Look ahead warily.
"Quick, everyone put out the fire, they caused it."
There are generally no human settlements in this deep mountain. The fire is too dazzling and can easily attract wild animals.
Grandpa Hai lived up to his rich experience and quickly slapped the fire with branches.
His move woke Yun Xiao up.
"Quick, everyone, put out the fire." He shouted while stepping on it with his feet.
The fire was quickly extinguished.
Yun Xiao looked at the night surrounding him and thought of a small cave he had seen during the day. Because it smelled so bad, he didn't consider resting in it at night, but he didn't care about it that much now.
He shouted softly: "Everyone, run to the left. There is a cave fifty meters away. Everyone, go there and take shelter."
There were not many trees where they were, and even if there were, they were bare trees with all their leaves eaten away, so they were of no use at all.
"Hailin, run quickly." Grandpa Hai pulled Hailin over. The three generations of the Hai family are simple and will never let anything happen to Hailin.
Yun Xiao hugged Lightning tightly and saw that Uncle Mu was still cold: "Uncle Mu, don't be stunned."
"Oh oh oh." Uncle Mu was obviously frightened, and ran away as soon as he regained consciousness.
The four of them rushed to the cave on the left as fast as they could.
Before even getting close to the cave, the pungent smell came, making people unable to help but vomit.
But no one stopped, but ran faster.
"Quick, quick, quick." Yun Xiao stopped first and let the three of them enter the cave first before getting in.
In the cave, it was pitch black, nothing could be seen, nothing could be seen.
Uncle Hai took out the fire fold from his arms. The light was dim, but it was like a bright lamp, illuminating the scene within three meters.
"Squeak." Many mice rushed out, which scared everyone, but also relieved.
Fortunately, it's a rat's nest, not a wild beast's nest.
"Brother Hai, Uncle Mu, hurry up, block this stone to the entrance of the cave."
Yun Xiao took a few steps forward and saw a big stone lying sideways. He was extremely happy.
The other three people immediately understood Yun Xiao's intention.
They also stepped forward and gritted their teeth, struggling to block the big stone at the entrance of the cave.
At this time, Lightning's claws kept digging at the ground, obviously very anxious.
Grandpa Hai's face tightened, he quickly blew out the fire sticks, hugged Hai Lin and squatted under the big rock without moving.
Yun Xiao and Uncle Mu hugged each other and held their breath.
The cold wind squeezed in through the gaps between the stones, like a ghost floating from the depths of hell, exuding a terrifying aura.
Cold and strange, spreading throughout the cave...
Swish, swish, several beasts jumped down from the rocks, with thick and long tails and gray hair.
Shaking his head from side to side, he scanned the surroundings.
Then, he squatted down again, sniffed the surrounding air, and identified something.
"Ouch."
Countless eyes flashed with green light, and the whole group jumped up with a "boom" and rushed towards the cave.
In vain, there was the sound of claws scratching.
Once, twice, three, and finally more and more.
There are more than a few beasts outside, they are a group.
Hailin instinctively wanted to scream, but Grandpa Hai covered his lips...
Uncle Mu's face was pale, and his body was shaking constantly. His fingers pinched Yun Xiao tightly. Yun Xiao frowned in pain, but he didn't make any sound.
If he were alone, he was absolutely confident that he could get rid of these beasts, but he couldn't leave these three people behind.
There was a constant shuddering outside.
They all showed violent emotions.
Yun Xiao patted Uncle Mu on the shoulder, gave him a slight encouragement, and then removed his hand.
Then he stood up slowly and carefully looked out through the cracks in the stones.
It's a wolf!
My master once said that the wolf attacks people very fast. When it runs ten meters away from the target, it leaps up. The two sharp hooks on its front feet will tear the human flesh to the bottom. In this moment, it The flexible head has already reached the face of the prey, and it bites the throat fiercely with its teeth, killing it in one bite.
Yun Xiao estimated the number of wolves outside, there were about ten.
"Clatter." At this time, the stone shook slightly and the fine sand slid down, making Yun Xiao alert.
He quickly pushed the stone and shouted to the three people around him: "Quick, push against the stone."
The wolves outside were pushing the stones. If they were pushed away, none of them would be able to escape.
Hailin and Uncle Mu’s eyes were filled with fear—
Then he stood up straight and pushed the stone hard. The only good thing was that the stone was big and wide enough, otherwise it would not be able to resist these hungry wolves.
But the power of a dozen wolves cannot be underestimated. They moved the stone bit by bit.
Yun Xiao gritted his teeth, no, the four of them were too weak.
what to do! what to do!
Don't panic, absolutely don't panic!
The master said that the more panicked the situation, the calmer it is to be able to think of a solution.
Yun Xiao narrowed his eyes and kept thinking back in his mind.
The stench wafted into my nose, which really made my stomach churn.
"Yes." Yun Xiao's lips curled up, with a hint of wildness in his confidence.
The master once taught him and Dong'er how to make a sandalwood bow.
These sandalwood bows are similar to slingshots, but the only difference is the force and shape of their launch.
"You push me, and I'll make something."
Before Yun Xiao let go of his hand, he heard Hai Lin shouting: "Brother Yun, what are you going to do at this time?"
"Wolf-killing stuff." Yun Xiao's calm voice miraculously calmed down the three of them.
