After listening to Li Dazhuang's words, everyone's mood improved slightly. They knew that Li Dazhuang was encouraging them and asking them not to lose confidence.

On the other side, Li Lei and Li Aniu led another group of men holding torches and starting to collect firewood on the mountain.

They walked carefully through the mountains and forests, looking carefully for available firewood by the light of torches.

Because it has been snowing for the past few months, the snow on the mountains is already very thick, which makes their work of collecting firewood more difficult. With every step they took, they had to step carefully on the snow to avoid slipping.

The biting and icy cold wind stung their rough, peeling and red cheeks, and caused the torches in their hands to flicker in and out.

The bold Li Lei took the lead in walking at the front of the team, letting others follow his lead.

At this time, the torch in a man's hand was blown out by the cold wind. The man screamed and became anxious, and his feet became slippery for some reason.

But his slippage caused him to fall and slide without any accident, and also caused the men following him to fall one after another, and the second half of the team was suddenly in chaos.

The people at the front turned around immediately when they heard the noise, and then they saw that the men at the back of the team had fallen down, and some even rolled several meters down the mountain.

Li Lei and Li Aniu felt nervous and quickly stepped forward to check everyone's injuries. Fortunately, everyone was wearing thick cotton clothes. Although they fell heavily, they were not seriously injured.

Li Lei helped up a fallen man and asked with concern: "Ashun, how are you? Are you injured?"

The man named Ashun patted the snowflakes on his body and shook his head: "It's okay, I just fell down and my butt hurts a little."

Li Aniu also came over, checked everyone's situation, and then said: "Everyone, please be careful. The snow is very slippery and you may fall if you are not careful. The torches must also be held firmly to prevent them from being blown out by the wind." "

But just as everyone was reorganizing their team and preparing to continue collecting firewood, a series of wolf howls suddenly sounded from a mountain not far away.

Li Datian was so frightened by the sudden wolf cry that he almost wanted to throw the torch in his hand.

He grabbed Li Aniu next to him tightly, swallowed nervously, and looked around: "Didn't so many wolves die last time? Why are there so many wolves on this mountain?"

Li Aniu was also startled by the sudden wolf cry, but he quickly calmed down when he thought that there were many people here and there were torches, and he gently patted the back of Li Datian's hand to comfort him.

"It's okay. We have torches in our hands. The wolves were also afraid of fire attacks last time. With this torch, they don't dare to hurt us easily."

After listening to the howling of wolves for a while, Li Lei felt relieved. He turned around and said to the men following him: "Don't worry, everyone. The howling of wolves sounds very close, but in fact they are far away from us. This is all Because there are echoes from the mountains. So everyone feels as if they are not far away."

After listening to Li Lei's words, everyone's nervousness was not completely relieved. Their faces still looked uneasy, and they held the fire in their hands tighter.

A few months ago, a pack of wolves attacked Pear Blossom Valley, and some of their relatives were even eaten by the wolves.

The bloody and terrifying scene was still vivid in their minds, so when they heard the howling of the wolf, they couldn't help but tremble in their legs and feet.

Li Datian said with some worry: "Erwazi, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the wolf is too ferocious. I just want to ask you how reliable this statement is?"

Li Lei frowned slightly. Although he was honest, he was not a fool. Since he knew he couldn't talk too much.

Based on the howling of the wolf just now, he could also determine that the wolf was not close to their place. But everything is unexpected. If one or two wolves suddenly run out, he will lose his face.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Lei felt that it would be okay if he didn't say anything.

Finally, he bit the bullet and said: "Uncle Tian, ​​I don't know if there are wolves that don't bark around here, so I can't guarantee you. But if everyone is really scared, let's go back."

When everyone heard Li Lei say that there might be silent wolves nearby, the look of fear in their eyes increased even more, so they also had plans to go back.

Li Aniu looked at the small amount of firewood he had picked up and said, "But everyone is still waiting for us to go back to collect firewood. It's hard to explain to our family if we just pick up this little firewood."

Li Shun, who felt the pain in his butt getting more and more painful, expressed a different opinion. "Oh, I can come to pick up firewood at any time, but why can I pick up firewood if my life is at risk? Don't worry, my family will definitely understand."

Li Shun's words were echoed by many people. Compared with firewood, of course, one's own life is more important.

But there are also some bold men who stand on Li Aniu's side. They all feel that they have killed wolves once or twice. No matter how ferocious the wolf is, it is not impossible to kill it, but if there is no sun all the time, it will not work if there is no firewood at home.

Li Datian saw that the two parties were about to quarrel, and he was afraid that their noisy movement would attract wild animals that should not come.

So he whispered: "Okay, don't be so loud, no matter how far away the wolf is, you will almost attract it."

Li Datian's fatal words immediately silenced the two parties. They even glanced around uneasily to see if there was any wolf.

Li Datian expressed his thoughts after seeing everyone calm down.

"Let's do this, I think we can divide into two teams. You bold people will form a protective circle to protect the timid ones, and the timid ones will be responsible for collecting firewood. When the firewood is almost collected, we will go back. "

Li Datian's proposal was quickly recognized by everyone, so the team quickly divided into two groups.

Li Lei, Li Aniu and six other brave men stood in different directions to form a protective circle, surrounding the timid men in the protective circle and making them responsible for collecting firewood.

When the firewood in one place was almost collected, they moved to another place to continue collecting firewood. But after just picking up firewood for a while, everyone heard the howling of the wild boar again.

Everyone's expressions suddenly turned bad. The ferocity of the wild boar was no less ferocious than that of the wolf, especially when the two fangs near the mouth of the wild boar were pushed forward, there were two big bloody holes.

The constant howls of wild wolves and wild boars echoed in the mountain forest, making the already tense atmosphere even more solemn.

Everyone's faces turned pale, and their hearts were filled with fear, because they also heard at this time that there were many wild boars and wild wolves, there must be more than a few.

Li Datian swallowed to relieve the dryness and stinging in his throat. He said with a trembling voice: "Erwazi, I always feel that this voice is quite close to us?"
