I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 1469 Premeditated strangulation
But now is not the time to go back to the roots.

At that moment, the family hurriedly dismounted. They gathered the three horses together, and then the six members of the family hid in the circle surrounded by the three horses.

Gu Tuo quickly took out several repeating crossbows from the bundle on the horse, and he distributed one to everyone.

"Hold the crossbow and shoot in the direction the wolf is coming from. Don't worry too much, just shoot, we have plenty of arrows here!"

Xia Ying and the others nodded one after another, and everyone subconsciously clenched the crossbow in their hands.

Sure enough, immediately after the wolves found the trace of their family, they gradually moved towards this side.There are also wolves calling for their partners to come this way.

Later, when the wolves gathered to a certain number, finally one wolf couldn't wait, and it launched the attack first!

call out--

Immediately, Gu Yuanhao pressed the crossbow trigger towards the wolf.

"Ow!"

Then, I heard the wolf let out a tragic howl, and then the wolf's head and the wolf's body turned around in mid-air, and then fell straight to the ground and did not move.

Gu Yuanhao's arrow directly ended the life of this wild wolf!

Seeing this, the other wolves hesitated.

However, Gu Tuo and his party did not hesitate anymore!
Everyone started their hands one after another, finding the right direction and launching towards the wolves!

For a moment, this group of wolves were repelled by their fierce offensive.

"But going on like this is not an option. Our torches have a limited time to burn, and there are plenty of arrows, so it is impossible to withstand the midnight. These wolves are hungry again, and they are also in large numbers. If they discuss a countermeasure, they will attack us together. If not, then we mere people won't be able to resist it at all!" Gu Yuanhao hastily whispered after gaining some time to catch his breath.

Xia Ying bit her lip.

"I always felt something was wrong."

Gu Yuanhao turned his head. "Mother, do you think something is wrong?"

"The pack of wolves in front of me is too huge, it's not the number of wolves that can be formed naturally!" Xia Ying pointed to the green eyes all around the mountains and plains.

Gu Yuanhao's expression darkened.

Gu Tuo also realized that something was wrong.

"You're right. The life of the common people in the west is not easy. It is difficult to eat a bite of meat every day, so many people take risks and hunt wolves, eat meat and sell their skins. This is also a kind of livelihood. Although wolves in the northwest They are in packs, but usually there are only ten or twenty wolves in packs, the bigger ones are forty or fifty, and there are rarely more. But look, there are hundreds of these wolves!"

Gu Yuanhao added: "Besides, these wolves seem to have been hungry for a long time, which is unreasonable! Looking at their figures, they are all healthy and young, and they are not old, weak, sick or disabled! They are like..."

"It's like being raised on purpose, and then let it out to deal with us today!" Xia Ying concluded.

Gu Tuo, Gu Yuanhao and his son nodded together.

"That's right!"

The corners of Xia Ying's lips hooked slightly.

"To put it bluntly, this is an organized and premeditated strangulation! There are even local dignitaries involved!"

Then, the chances of them wanting to get away are even lower!
The face of the family became more and more ugly.

"Otherwise, let's go all out and fight them to the death!" Gu Yuanhao gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, "Even if I die, I must die frankly!"

"You come back to me!"

Xia Ying pulled him back.

"Don't worry, I thought of a way here."

Gu Yuanhao turned his head. "At this time, mother, what else can you think of?"

"Well, it's a pretty bad idea. However, if you want to save our family's life and quickly expand your influence, it can only be so difficult." Xia Ying said softly.

Gu Yuanhao was puzzled, and Gu Tuo also looked confused.

"What idea did you come up with? Tell me quickly!"

"That is, set fire."

Ok?
Both father and son turned their heads to look at the forest ahead.

"If you set the fire now, you have to collect branches and leaves. It's midsummer now, and the vegetation is verdant. It's not easy to pick up enough branches and leaves!"

"You misunderstood what I meant. When I said setting fire, I meant to burn these forests in front of me!"

Oh my God!
When she heard Xia Ying speak out her intentions, not to mention Gu Tuo, even Gu Yuanhao was going crazy!

"Mother, are you kidding me? The Northwest is always windy and sandy, and it's not easy for these forests to survive. If you just set fire to it like this, how much loss would it be for the people in the Northwest? And this loss cannot be made up within ten years!"

"So, once it catches fire, everyone in the local area will not ignore it, and they will rush to put out the fire. We will be saved." Xia Ying said, "As for the burning of the forest... I have also considered it. There is no way, If I want to drive away so many wolves, there is only one way to go at the moment. I can't do such a righteous thing by sacrificing the lives of our family in exchange for the survival of this forest. The big deal, after we are rescued, I will create a separate plan, and I will replant all the saplings here! And not only here, but also other places where there is no vegetation, I will plan them one by one, and then plant all the saplings In this way, it should be able to make up for some."

Gu Yuanhao lowered his eyes.

"It seems that this is the only way to do it now."

Gu Tuo also sighed lightly.

"Indeed. I don't want to die either."

He still has many, many plans waiting to be completed!Especially when the children around him were still young, how could he have the heart to watch them lose their lives before they could show their brilliance?

and so--

"I'll set this fire on." Xia Ying said, "It's only suitable for me to do such a deviant thing. Anyway, I have received a lot of criticism these years, so I don't care if I add a few more words."

"We will assist you!" Gu Yuanhao said.

The family of three discussed a few words, and they quickly made a plan. Then, Gu Tuo and Gu Yuanhao took the three children to cover Xia Ying together. Everyone held the torches in their hands and gradually approached the forest on the side.

The wolves on the hillside noticed their actions, and the animals subconsciously backed away.

Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Ying picked up dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground, gathered them into a big pile, and lit a fire!

call--

A gust of night wind blew by, and a small cluster of flames grew bigger and bigger, and finally ignited one of the trees. Slowly, the flames gradually rose from the roots of the tree, and finally reached the top of the tree.

Then, with the help of the night wind again, the sparkling treetops swayed back and forth, quickly igniting the nearby branches.

So one pass one...

The wildfire ignited.
