big sister headed home

Chapter 12

Dou Huading stared at the front, listened attentively with ears pricked up, the rapid footsteps were getting closer and closer, soon two children appeared in sight, Dou Hua took a look at it, and they knew each other, it was Dou Dashan and him younger brother.

I saw Dou Dafei dragging his younger brother Dou Erfei with one hand, and he was running very fast. If you look closely, you can find that there is no shoe under his feet, and he is running with one bare foot. His forehead is full of sweat, and he looks panicked. My younger brother was even out of breath, 'if it wasn't for being dragged by Dou Dafei' he wouldn't be able to run.

Seeing Dou Hua in the front, Dou Dafei 'can't care about the matter of being beaten and having vengeance' and shouted at the top of his voice: "Run, there are jackals chasing you. Run~"

Even so, Dou Hua didn't think of running away. It's just that running away can't solve the problem. Running away is showing cowardice. Animals also have spirituality. They can also perceive people's fear. Another reason why Hua didn't run away was that her five senses told her that there was only one jackal coming, and there was no other movement nearby, which also gave her the confidence to face this jackal.

"Don't you run, the jackal is here." Seeing that Dou Hua was not moving, Dou Dafei couldn't help but pause, and said again.

"Run forward, my brothers are over there, I'll deal with the jackals." Dou Hua said.

"You run with us, if you don't run, it will be too late." Dou Dafei said again.

Dou Hua shook her head and did not move, keeping her bow ready for battle.

"Then let's call someone, you have to be careful." Dou Dafei didn't dare to stay, and pulled his younger brother Dou Erfei to run quickly in the opposite direction.

Dou Hua fixed her gaze behind Dou Dafei upon hearing this, and sure enough, within a short while, a brown jackal running strangely appeared in sight.This jackal is not big, just like what Jiang Ermeng said before, it is about the size of a dog at home, half of its mouth is full of sharp fangs, it looks like it is eating meat.

Seeing that the jackal is really coming, Dou Hua's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but be careful, staring ahead, concentrating, and soon entered that special state, with nothing else in her eyes, only the one running towards this direction jackal.

"Whoosh~" Dou Hua's arrow shot out, with a slight deviation, and hit one of the jackal's hind legs, blood flowed horizontally, the jackal's movements paused for a moment, and he let out a scream, bared his teeth, showed a fierce look in his eyes, still did not give up, and continued Dragging an injured leg, he rushed towards Dou Hua, his appearance was very fierce, as if he wanted to jump up and bite off a piece of Dou Hua's flesh.

Dou Hua held her breath, drew out an arrow again, and with a "swoosh~", it hit the jackal's vital neck and pierced the trachea of ​​the wolf's neck. On the ground, the four legs stared a few times, and soon died of exhaustion.

Dou Hua recovered from the state just now, her heart was pounding, she took a deep breath, and secretly said that it was dangerous, this jackal died less than five meters away from her, if she didn't have such a special ability, she would definitely be killed The jackal has bitten.

Dou Qing led the younger ones and didn't go too far. The two brothers Dou Dafei were running in their direction. When they heard that there were wolves, Dou Qing and the younger ones felt their hearts skip a beat. Will something happen to my eldest sister?Dou Qing was in a hurry, and Dou Cui's eyes were red.

"Dou Cui, look at Dou Hong and Dou Lin, I'm going to help the elder sister." Dou Lin put down the basket, and ran back after speaking.

"We are going too, we are a family, we share the blessings and the hardships together." Dou Lin's immature voice shouted loudly.

Dou Qing and the others were all scared. They were very afraid that something would happen to the eldest sister. Although she was small and weak, she didn't want to see something happen to Dou Hua.

So a few small ones ran back quickly.

"Big sister, big sister, are you okay?" Dou Qingren ran fast, and was the first to come to Dou Hua who was panting heavily, and looked him up and down.

Dou Hua had just shot and killed a jackal, and was slowly recovering from the near miss, "Qing'er, why did you come back? Don't worry, big sister is fine, okay, look, that jackal was also killed Sister, I shot to death."

"Sister, you shouldn't stay here, you should run with us, it's too dangerous." Dou Qing said with red eyes.

Dou Hua also felt uncomfortable seeing Dou Qing like this, and was thinking of comforting him, when Dou Cui and Dou Lin Dou Hong also ran over.

The two younger ones have been on one of Dou Hua's thighs since then, "Elder Sister, Eldest Sister, are you okay, have you been bitten by a jackal?" Dou Lin asked.

"No, big sister is fine, really fine, you see, isn't there a jackal over there, I have already shot to death." Dou Hua said, touching the heads of the two young ones one by one.

"It's good that the elder sister is fine, we are all worried to death." Little Dou Hong said.

"Okay, okay, don't be sad, I'm fine, I'm fine, let's get out of here quickly, who knows if there will be other jackals coming." Dou Hua said, she knew that animals like jackals usually They all act in groups, and it is still rare to come out alone like this now.

"Okay, let's go, get out of here immediately, what about the pheasants and jackals?" Dou Qing said.

"Let's take the pheasant back, jackal, can this be sold for money?" Dou Hua asked, the original owner didn't have much memory about jackals.

"It should be possible." Dou Qing said, "Someone in the village sold jackals."

"If it can be sold for money, then we will take it back." Dou Hua said, the family is most short of money now, and anything that can be sold for money will not be let go, "Dou Qing, you carry a straw basket, and Dou Cui carries a basket. Jackal, carry this pheasant, Dou Lin leads Dou Hong, let's go quickly."

"Okay." Dou Qing and Dou Cui nodded in agreement, and quickly carried the straw basket on their backs to the basket.

The pheasant is not too fat, weighing four or five catties, while the jackal looks small and thin. It weighs less than twenty catties in his hand. Dou Hua has great strength, carrying the jackal in one hand and the pheasant in the other, very easy and effortless.

Lifting the jackal up, Dou Hua found that the jackal was very thin, almost skinny, and one of its legs was obviously injured, a circle thinner than the normal leg, and there were conspicuous scars. Hua guessed that this might be the reason why it was left alone, and was abandoned by the group because of its injuries, but she couldn't care too much now, she just wanted to get a few young ones out of this place quickly, there was a jackal haunting, who knows what would happen? Will there be any other jackals?
Dou Hua led the young ones to walk fast, and they all caught up with the trot. The journey of a few miles took less than half an hour, but when they returned to the village entrance, they were meeting with a dozen young and middle-aged men who were walking out of the village.

"Dou Hua, are you all okay? We are going to find you. The one in your hand is a jackal. You shot it to death?" One of the dozen or so people came out, it was their little uncle Dou Sishan, With an anxious and worried expression on his face, he felt relieved when he saw the children returning safely. If something happened to the children, he felt that he was too sorry for his dead third brother.

"Well, uncle, I shot this jackal to death, and we are all fine." Dou Hua smiled, feeling very fond of this uncle who has always cared about her family, which is the feeling of relatives.

"Da Fei told me, why don't you run, you should run, it's too dangerous, jackals are just playing around, it's something that can kill people, if you don't do it well, you'll be bitten off a piece of meat Yes." Dou Sishan taught.

"Well, I see, uncle, I won't dare to deal with it next time. This jackal is injured and not that powerful, so I dare to deal with it."

"Oh, it turned out to be like this. No wonder Da Fei and the others were able to escape without being caught up, but your archery skills are not bad. You must have been taught by the third brother. The third brother is a good archer, and he is the number one in the village. It wasn't the last time I went to the mountain, alas, let's not talk about it, the matter is over, you guys should be well, my uncle will help you." Dou Sishan said.

"Well, we all know." Dou Hua and the others felt a little uncomfortable when they heard Dou Sishan mention their father.

"Okay, since you guys are fine, go home, we people have to go to the forest, we must not let the wolves touch the village." After Dou Sishan finished speaking, he and a dozen other young and middle-aged people in the village Go to the woods.This kind of thing is a big thing about a village, and no one will let it go, so the young and middle-aged people in the village spontaneously organized as soon as they heard about it, brought weapons and things, and went to the woods together.Find out if there are any traces of wolves. If so, the village must be more careful at night and watch the night to prevent those wolves from coming in groups and eating and ruining the livestock in the village.

This kind of thing has happened in previous years, usually in winter and spring, when there is a shortage of food in the mountains, some wild beasts will come down the mountain and cause harm.If the people in the village find any traces of wild animals around the village or in the woods, they will take precautions in advance.

Regarding the matter of Dou Sishan and others going to the forest, Dou Hua and the others were still children, so there was no need to participate, so they went home with their things and straw baskets on their backs.

There are chicken and mushrooms. The main course at noon is chicken stewed with mushrooms. The pheasant is an old chicken, the meat is hard, and it has been stewed for a long time before the meat rots. The aroma of the chicken is mixed with the fresh aroma of the mushrooms. It is unbearable I couldn't help drooling, eating pancakes, chicken, and mushrooms. Dou Hua's family ate deliciously and sweetly.
