Especially here in the mountains, it is chilly and very quiet at night, and the chirping of insects in the mountains and forests is very clear. I don’t dare to sleep soundly, and I am on tenterhooks. I can’t help but miss the hot meals and quilts at home.

After only being out for two days, everyone began to miss their family members.

The night is getting late, and the sky is covered with a black curtain, but it is dotted with stars.

Just when everyone relaxed their consciousness and entered a deep sleep, and the night watchman's eyelids became heavy, pairs of green eyes in the forest lit up one after another.

Jiang Li was suddenly awakened by the cold wind. He opened his eyes in a daze and was about to turn over when he met a pair of green eyes not far away. Goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body.

His hand had already touched a dagger on his waist.

Jiang Li sat up slowly and poked Jiang Songshu, who was snoring next to him.

On the other hand, Lu Quan on the side was more alert and immediately alerted.

Everyone was already on alert. Jiang Li and Lu Quan looked at each other, both holding knives in their hands.

Seeing the right moment, they both lowered their voices and reminded: "The wolf is coming!"

Lu Quan wielded a woodcutter and rushed forward fiercely.

At the same time, Jiang Li followed closely behind, jumped up, pulled out a burning stick from the fire, and approached the wolves.

The wolves were attracted by the light of the fire, but they were still afraid of fire.

The wolf that was originally the leader lowered his body, used his hind legs to exert force, and made an attack posture. Jiang Li swung the torch towards it.

The wolf immediately backed away.

Unable to dodge, a few sparks were splashed on his body, which quickly caught fire. The wolf was immediately frightened, twisted around randomly, and ran into the forest.

The wolves suddenly became a little restless.

At this time, the group of people brought by Jiang Li were all awakened, with knives in their hands and cold sweat on their bodies.

Didn't you just take a nap? Since when have there been so many wolves around us?

Especially those who were keeping vigil, the night was dark and it was the time for drowsiness. Seeing everyone sleeping, they were also a little sleepy. When they heard Lu Quan shouting, they woke up immediately and faced the wolves as soon as they opened their eyes.

Everyone was almost scared out of their wits.

At this time, they calmed down and looked at the chaotic group of wolves warily, looking at each other, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

However, the commotion subsided not long after, and those with good eyesight saw that the wolf, whose fur had been burnt by the fire, had shrunk back.

The alpha wolf looked at the thirty people in front of him coldly and took a few tentative steps forward.

Everyone stood still and didn't move, but now even their hair was ready to fight.

Jiang Li held a torch in one hand and a dagger in the other. The first wolf took a few steps forward, and she took a few steps forward.

One man and one wolf were testing each other out, keeping alert, and pounced on each other at any time.

The people behind Jiang Li didn't know when, but several people followed him holding torches.

The alpha wolf looked at this scene and suddenly flinched, so he finally stopped when he was about ten feet away from Jiang Li.

They are both frightened and attracted to fire.

At this moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the sky, and then a thunder exploded, shocking everyone.

The wolves were even frightened and ran around.

The wolves behind him became restless. The alpha wolf was calmer, but his momentum collapsed. He glanced at Jiang Li and the others, then turned around and ran away.

If they really wanted to fight, these wolves couldn't beat Jiang Li and others. There were more than ten or twenty wolves in the pack, and Jiang Li and others had thirty people.

It wasn't until they saw the wolves heading into the forest that everyone sat down.

"Who is keeping watch tonight and what are you doing for food? We didn't even notice the wolves approaching!"

They almost realized it when they were almost in front of them.

someone in the crowd asked.

The people who were keeping vigil were also very aggrieved, "Why didn't we keep vigil? Then we just didn't notice it. It's not like we didn't remind you on purpose. If it were you who were keeping watch, you might not have slept somewhere!"

Seeing that a group of people were about to quarrel, Jiang Li shouted angrily: "Okay, stop quarreling!"

The two sides glared at each other and looked away.

There was still an hour before dawn, but everyone was a little unable to sleep at this time.

The thunder rumbled, and after the sound, only a little rain fell.

Here, Jiang Li and others are still exploring in the mountains.

At the Jiang family's side, business is still going on as usual, but it can be felt that the business is obviously slower.

Jiang Li and Jiang Songshu, the two people who can make decisions, are not at home, and Mr. Jiang is getting older.

Zhang Sheng helped. In addition to daily management of the pig farm and checking the shops, he also followed Jiang Li's instructions and started to purchase more grain, rice, noodles, and shelf-stable food.

Ms. Zhao was not idle either. She took advantage of the nice weather and started making pickled vegetables and soybeans at home.

It's not just the Jiang family whose business has been affected, everyone's business in the city has been affected, especially the dock area.

Jiang Chunhua was alone with her daughter. Business was not good and Zeng Daniu was not at home, so she took Zeng Meixiang to Jiang's house.

On the way, I met Li Ruzhen who was returning from picking wild vegetables in a bamboo basket and invited Li Ruzhen to go to Yujia Village with her.

"Didn't you say that they would be back after four days and three nights? We will pick them up! They will not be able to eat or sleep well these days in the mountains."

Jiang Chunhua took Li Ruzhen with her.

First, he sent Li Ruzhen home to put out the dug wild vegetables, and then the three of them headed towards Jiang's house together.

Li Ruzhen tidied herself up, while Jiang Chunhua was driving the mule cart beside her, saying, "When Lu Quan comes back, I have to stew a rabbit for your man and eat something good, you know?"

Jiang Chunhua saw that Li Ruzhen didn't have any elders in her family, and was afraid that Li Ruzhen didn't know how to love her man, and the man had to be coaxed.

Only if you give it something good can you use it.

Along the way, Jiang Chunhua talked about her ways as a charioteer. Li Ruzhen was a little embarrassed at first, but then she took it all in.

Zeng Meixiang, holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand, looked curiously at her mother and then at Li Ruzhen, who was blushing.

Unconsciously, the three of them arrived at the door of Jiang's house amid the bumps.

At this point, smoke rises from every household in the village.

The sunset on the horizon is yellow and orange, and the sun has already set halfway.

Jiang Chunhua and others stood at the door, but found that the Jiang family's house was quiet.

"That shouldn't be the case. They should be back by this time. Why are they so quiet?"

Both mother and daughter Jiang Chunhua looked worried. After tying the mules, they quickly opened the door and went in.

Only Zhang Sheng's wife and daughter were cooking at home, and most of the dinner was already ready.

Jiang Chunhua found the kitchen and asked Zhang Sheng's wife, "Awu Niang, haven't Ali and the others come back yet?"
