Escape from the desert

Chapter 116 A wolf howls

The flickering oil lamp in the main room shook, pulling the shadows of Jiang Yan and Jiang Wen.

There were no lanterns at home, and Jiang Yan dawdled for a long time and couldn't find anything that could hold a lantern. She simply knew the way in the village, and she walked out of the yard when it was dark.

"Little aunt, I'm with you."

Jiang Wen hurriedly put on his clothes, shoes and socks and followed behind his little aunt. Jiang Yan didn't stop her, and even slowed down and waited for him for a while. She was really afraid of the black blooming winter.

The two helped each other to the threshing floor, where a few people had gathered, all of whom were on duty in the village today, and the village chief with a dignified face, everyone gathered around, a fire was burning, and the fire was shining brightly. , are worried on every face.

"Aunt Jiang? Are you here too? Your third child hasn't come home yet?" A woman got up and asked.

Jiang Yan nodded: "I haven't come back yet, and all the people on duty in the village are so late?"

"It's not. At the latest today, my family's Dazhu said that in the afternoon, if there were any traces found in the mountains, I guess it was someone who was doing bad things. Otherwise, how could it be so late."

"This night, even if you encounter a bad guy, you can't directly chase it. There are so many worms in this mountain. What if something happens..."

"That's right! It's blazing in the dark, so don't let anything happen..."

A few women said every word you said, all with worry on their faces.

At this time, a tall figure hurriedly ran from the mountain intersection, it was the sullen Old Wu with a bow and arrow on his back.

He ran in a hurry, panting, and his chest kept heaving: "Village Chief! The mountains are not peaceful, the wolves have descended, and there are people from other villages in the mountains. I followed them all the way, and they collided with the guards patrolling today. Hurry up and call a few more men, and follow me up the mountain to fight wolves! Otherwise, the wolves will come down the mountain, and our village will be in danger!"

As soon as Old Wu finished speaking, the faces of the surrounding people all looked terrified, and the village chief was even more panicked, and immediately asked the village to call someone.

"Xiaowen, go home quickly! Let the eldest and second eldest get up. Our home is near the back mountain. If the wolves go down the mountain, where will we be most dangerous!"

Jiang Yan was also flustered. In the original owner's memory, there were indeed a few wolves who were alone in the village the year before last, and they also took away two children in the village.

ooh ooh...

Suddenly there were a few wolf howls, the sound was terrifying and terrifying. The people in the village who had just fallen asleep were so frightened that they climbed up one after another. Every household lit up the fires that they were not willing to light on weekdays. The men hurriedly put on their clothes and took them. Get your weapon and head out the door.

The dog breeders in the village kept barking, chickens, ducks and geese barked loudly. Even the two milk sheep bought by Jiang Yan blew a few times at this time. During that time, the whole village was noisy.

"Ow!"

Another wolf howl!
"Wang Wang Wang!"

Linjia Village has a large population, and there are not a few people who keep dogs. At this time, the wolf barked, and the dogs in the store responded. The wolf howl was getting closer, and all the poultry in the village were boiling.

Jiang Yan was worried about Lin Xi, thinking of the existence of the mall, she became more courageous: "Brother Wu, you take me up the mountain, I'm going to find my third child!"

Old Wu looked solemn: "There are probably five or six wolves in this group, all of them are adult giant wolves. I went hunting in the mountains today, and I saw them circling around the bamboo raft. Linxi and the others should have discovered it too, and they will probably be on their way back. , it's not safe for the two of us to meet up, wait for the village chief to find more people!"

Li Zheng, who had just climbed the bed and ran over, shouted while tidying up his clothes, "Old Wu, can you see who it is? Which village does it belong to?"

Old Wu shook his head: "I see clearly, but I don't know."

Li Zhengqi scolded: "What village bastard! I just said that you can't find it during the day. It turns out that these days are all killing things at night! These wolves can't be attracted by them, right?"

The village chief turned around in a hurry, his heart trembled as the wolf howled in his ears, everyone in the village looked timid, and more and more people gathered, but no one dared to follow him up the mountain at this time.

"The strong laborers in the village all follow Lao Wu to hunt wolves in the mountains! Lao Wu is a hunter, and he has the best way to deal with these beasts. We don't want any more children in the village to be taken away by wolves. This wolf has already touched our village. Let's go, no one can sleep well tonight."

After the village chief finished speaking, everyone was silent, villagers, look at me, I look at you, no one said a word, wolves can eat people, and they can tear off their arms and legs directly. It is a group animal, usually not only one. Who knows how many wolves there are in this mountain. They are just ordinary people. If they go, they will die for nothing?

A thin villager swallowed his saliva and said, "Village chief, the wolf is fast and has fangs, and they all appear in groups, so we're going to deliver meals too!"

The village chief rolled his eyes at him, and shouted angrily: "You bastard, no matter how powerful the wolf is, it's just a beast. There are so many people in our village, but we can't handle them?!"

Li Zheng also said coldly: "That's right! If everyone in the village is like you and hides in the house whenever there is danger, then the village does not know how many children will be taken away by wolves in a year! The wolf eats it! Just stand up like a man for me! Kill a bunch of beasts!"

The man blushed when he was told that he immediately booed and nodded, but the other villagers were said to be enthusiastic. Feng Feng Huo Huo followed Lao Wu up the mountain.

"Mother! Don't follow! We will definitely kill the wolves, go home and wait for the news." Lin Dong and Lin Nan, who were chasing after them, panted.

A large group of men, only Jiang Yan and a woman followed up the mountain. When Lin Dong finished speaking, only the villagers found out, and everyone looked back.

"Xiaojiang! You are a woman, don't mix it up, let us men do things like fighting and killing. If something happens to you, I can't take responsibility!" I want to persuade Jiang Yan to go back.

"No, I'll be with you, don't worry, I'm right behind the crowd."

Jiang Yan shook her head, it was really dangerous, and she still had means to save her life.

The silent night, the howling wind, and the howling of a wolf still lingered in my ears. Before the villagers could continue to persuade, a creaking sound came, and a few villagers with torches and lanterns ran forward.

Not far away, three groups of black shadows, under the light of the lights, lingered around the crowd, with their mouths open, their terrifying teeth exposed, and their sticky saliva. It seemed like he was about to jump in the next second.

In the quiet forest, a wolf howled while pulling its neck, and the rest followed with a long howl.
