wild trail

Chapter 27 A short battle

After two days of preparation, Wang Lang ordered all the animals to be killed, pickled them with salt, and made many bamboo baskets.

They are going to leave here tomorrow. There is no laughter in the past in the tribe. Everyone's heart is very heavy. They have spent their most peaceful time in this place, and everyone is reluctant to leave here.

At noon, people gather around the fire and eat boiled meat with salt and wild vegetables. People used to snap up such food, but now people just eat the meat in the bowl bit by bit. It can be said that they don’t know how to eat. taste.

One kilometer away from the tribe, Huo and Wuyun climbed a big tree to observe the surroundings carefully. They all knew that they were going to evacuate tomorrow, and there must be no accidents on the last day.

"Huo, are those people really that scary?" Wu Yun asked.

"Well, those are the most vicious people I've ever seen. I don't know where these people come from. It's the last day. We must cheer up and never let them hurt our people." Huo said seriously.

Wu Yun nodded, and the two of them didn't talk anymore, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dignified.

Wu Yun hated those guys who disturbed his life to death. Before his great career of creating characters started, he didn't know where these people came from, making him unable to do what he liked. The more Wu Yun thought about it, the more angry he was, holding The hand of the bow and arrow was clenched a little white.

Huo glanced at the furious dark cloud, feeling a little puzzled, wondering why this guy was so nervous, why he was so angry, and was about to ask, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps coming from the jungle in front of him.

The two of them immediately became tense, and each took out an arrow from the quiver behind them and put it on the bowstring, their eyes fixed on the front.

The dense leaves in front were pushed away, and a man with a stone ax in his hand, covered in paint, came out. A moment later, four people with the same weapon came out one after another.

Wu Yun whispered, "Is it those people?"

Huo nodded and said in a low voice, "We'll kill them when they walk in."

Wu Yun swallowed, clenched the bow and arrow in his hand, and nodded heavily.

After the five people came out, they looked around, and one of them, who was quite strong, said something to the other four people, and then continued to walk forward under the leadership of this person, and their direction was Wang Lang's tribe.

When they reached the shooting range of the bow and arrow, Huo looked at Wu Yun, and then made a gesture of cutting his throat with his hand, Wu Yun nodded knowingly.

"Whizzing!"

Two arrows flew out at an extremely fast speed, accompanied by two screams, two people fell to the ground in response, and the other three saw their companions, suddenly pierced through the chest by the strange flying thing, and their faces were frightened. Bloodless.

Someone wanted to step forward to help his fallen companion, but another arrow came straight at him. The people on the side sensed the danger and wanted to remind him to avoid it, but it was too late, and the very sharp arrow pierced him directly. Without even screaming, he died.

The remaining two people saw that the three died in a blink of an eye, and their hands and feet were weak. One of them finally found the two Wu Yuns hiding in the tree. With a strange cry, he rushed towards the place where the two were.

Seeing this person rushing towards this side, Wu Yun sneered in his heart, and the bowstring stretched like a full moon suddenly loosened, and the arrow flew straight towards the person's face.

The man was also very brave. He swung the ax and knocked the flying arrows away. With a strange cry, he swung the ax and was about to throw it at the dark cloud. The fire didn't give him a chance to make a move. Not long after the dark cloud shot the arrow, An arrow shot through his chest.

The man looked at the arrow pierced into his chest in disbelief, his body softened, and he fell to the ground.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the only one left turned around and fled to the depths of the dense forest regardless of his dead companion. Seeing that one escaped, both of them felt very sorry.

Climbed down from the tree, checked the four people who were shot down by him, and saw that they were all dead, so the two pulled out the arrows stuck in them, Huo asked Wu Yun to go back to report, and he stayed to continue to be vigilant .

Wu Yun rushed back to the tribe without stopping, and told Wang Lang about the discovery of the enemy's reconnaissance team. When he heard that the two had killed four people, Wang Lang was also taken aback. After asking in detail, he knew that they had taken advantage of the sneak attack. Moreover, the number of enemies is not very large. With the help of bows and arrows, it is not surprising to achieve this result.

"Lang, someone has escaped, what should we do." Wu Yun said with some concern.

"It's okay, these are just the people they are in charge of investigating. When they return to the tribe, it will be almost dark. If they want to send people to attack us, it will probably be tomorrow. We will leave tomorrow morning." Wang Lang said.

Wu Yun looked at Wang Lang a little hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter, just say what you have to say."

"Lang, I don't think we need to leave at all. With our strength, they may not be able to beat us."

Wang Lang sighed and said: "Although we have better weapons than them, have you ever thought about how we can resist if they send people several times as many as us? Bows and arrows are not invincible, as long as those people hold trees in front of us Pi, our damage to them is very small, if you are close to them, do you think you can beat a few people by yourself."

"But Lang, look at the flattened land outside, the cut trees, and the salt pond in the distance. They are all the fruits of our hard work. I am really unwilling to abandon them like this!" Wu Yun said with some grief and indignation.

"I am also very unwilling, but Wu Yun, do you think the land is more important than the people? You have to know that as long as the people are there, these things can be obtained. What's the use of these things if the people are dead? Our tribe is very small. Our current What is needed is not to fight desperately with an enemy stronger than us, but to strengthen ourselves and force our people away. We will make them pay the price sooner or later. Think about it for yourself and call the fire back later." Wang Lang After speaking, he patted Wu Yun on the shoulder and let him think about it alone, while he went to check the situation of the material preparation.

Wang Lang felt that Wu Yun was a very smart person, as long as he figured out the pros and cons, he should know which choice was right.

The tribe was very busy. The women took out all the clay pots and lit several fires to cook the salt. Half of the more than 100 catties of salt they brought back before had been consumed. It is used to marinate meat, and the remaining mineral salt can be used to produce thirty to forty catties of edible salt. If these are used sparingly, Wang Lang thinks they should be able to use them for about two months.
