Wife is an enemy general
Chapter 49 Be careful yourself.
001.
Those ducks chased Li Mu and ran around the cave. It didn't take long for the fish to be eaten by the ducks. Li Mu was furious, but everyone was about to laugh and cry.
This can't be blamed on them, mainly because Li Mu usually looks serious, with a serious face and character, and he has never shown such embarrassment.
Seeing that there were only a dozen pitiful fish left in Li Mu's hands, Zhong Xiuyuan finally couldn't see it anymore. He stood up and whistled clearly in the snow.
Let Li Mu be bullied by these ducks again, he should feel distressed.
As Zhong Xiuyuan whistled, those ducks that had been chasing Li Mu at the beginning finally calmed down. They looked at Li Mu reluctantly, and then slowly swayed their buttocks and walked towards Zhong Xiuyuan. where the duck cage is located.
Li Mu was rescued, but he didn't show a happy expression, but stared at those ducks and Zhong Xiuyuan more and more angrily.
These ducks ate his food and drank his food. They were brought up by him hand in hand from childhood to adulthood, but in the end they bullied him to listen to Zhong Xiuyuan's words.
Li Mu looked at the fish in his hand, not only his heart ached, but he already had the urge to eat duck.
Zhong Xiuyuan saw all this in his eyes. After he called the ducks back, he let them all enter the duck cage, and after spilling all the duck food in his hand on the ground, he clapped his hands and walked towards the bullied. Li Mu.
Zhong Xiuyuan suppressed the smile on his face, saw that there were only a few pitiful little fish left in Li Mu's hands, he cleared his throat, and said, "Ahem... are you okay?"
Although Zhong Xiuyuan tried his best to look serious, he couldn't help but smile a little when he blurted out the words.
Li Mu glanced at Zhong Xiuyuan quietly.
The latter felt a chill down his spine, his face flushed instantly, and his eyes revealed a bit of unconcealable panic.
Li Mu, shouldn't he be hating him again?
After Li Mu, Zhong Xiuyuan also began to feel aggrieved, "I didn't tell them to chase you..."
Zhong Xiuyuan said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, but because the impression of the previous events was too deep, when Zhong Xiuyuan said this, his voice trembled a bit.
Li Mu looked at Zhong Xiuyuan's eyes more and more deeply, until Zhong Xiuyuan's scalp became numb, he stuffed all the little fish left in his hand into Zhong Xiuyuan's hand, and then glared again The ducks turned and walked away angrily.
Seeing this, Zhong Xiuyuan was even more dumbfounded.
The glutton in this person's stomach is probably going to make a fuss.
It's just helpless, Zhong Xiuyuan still carefully held the fish and put them into the cave.
After such a commotion, everyone was in a good mood.
After feeding the ducks, they talked and laughed and went to the side to rest. Zhong Xiuyuan took this opportunity to come to the side of the duck cage and looked at the ducks that had become lazy because they were full.
He knew that he must be missed by Li Mu again. At this moment, the temperature on his face had risen uncontrollably. He was so scared, but also so looking forward...
Zhong Xiuyuan stood alone beside those ducks, and after a long while, he choked out a sentence, "Don't bully him all the time in the future."
There were no other people around, Zhong Xiuyuan's words were speaking to the ducks in the duck cage.
After eating and drinking, these ducks in the winter lazily lay motionless on the ground. After hearing Zhong Xiuyuan's words, only one or two of them stretched their necks and quacked twice.
Zhong Xiuyuan didn't care whether these ducks listened to him, let alone whether these ducks understood, he paused and said: "If you bully him like this, if he gets angry in the future, he won't care about you."
Thinking of this person's character of always reporting flaws, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing, he was really curious about how this person's character was developed?
Zhong Xiuyuan stood beside the duck cage with a smirk on his face. The ducks in the duck cage couldn't bear Zhong Xiuyuan's foolishness at the moment, and one by one hid their heads in their wings, completely ignoring him. he.
Zhong Xiuyuan looked at this scene and felt a little stupid, but...
In the cave, Zhong Manlu, who had nothing to do, looked at his brother who was talking seriously with a group of ducks in the distance, and there was a bit of disgust in his eyes.
Why does he always feel that the scene he sees now is a bit like a naughty child having trouble with his father, and the mother is going to teach the child a lesson?
Li Mu had been busy all morning and managed to catch more than a dozen small fish, all of which were eaten by these ducks, and the remaining few were fried by him with great care. up.
After eating at noon, everyone helped to release the ducks with white spots on their backs, and let them forage by themselves by the water. When it was getting dark, they helped drive the ducks back.
It was dark in the evening, and when everyone returned to the cave where the bonfire was lit, Zhong Xiuyuan, who stayed in the cave, was sitting on the ground with flushed cheeks. Seeing everyone coming in, his eyes showed a bit of panic.
The other person standing in the cave, Li Mu, was thinking about the fishhook in his hand with a half-smile, the glutton in his stomach was not full yet.
After entering the cave, she noticed that the atmosphere in the cave was a little strange, Bai Osmanthus immediately smiled and turned her head to cover the eyes of the youngest boy in the Su family, "Kids, don't look at it."
Zhong Xiuyuan looked at Bai Osmanthus's actions, and instantly became more uncomfortable, "...I'll go for a walk." He lowered his head and muttered, and left the cave.
Zhong Xiuyuan's departure not only did not calm the crowd down, but made them laugh for a while.
Hearing that laughter, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help speeding up his pace a little, and his figure became more and more embarrassed.
After the sky darkened, the people gathered around the stove and cooked some food to fill their stomachs. They spread quilts and lay down on the ground to rest early.
Now their conditions are not allowed, and they can only keep everything simple, so a group of people all sleep in the same cave.
Next to Li Mu is Zhong Xiuyuan, next to Zhong Xiuyuan is Zhongman Road, and next to Zhongman Road is the little boy from the Su family, then his mother, Su Yu, and Bai Osmanthus.
Yun'er is still young, and she is held in Li Mu's arms to sleep at night, so she can take care of her if she wakes up at night.
In the silent snowy night, there were no insects or birds singing, and everyone soon fell asleep.
Nearly midnight, Li Mu, who was sleeping with long breaths, suddenly opened his eyes, and almost at the same time, Zhong Xiuyuan, who was beside him, also opened his black eyes.
The two listened quietly for a while, holding their breath, and then looked at each other in the darkness.
The next moment, both of them sat up.
Zhong Xiuyuan walked to the entrance of the cave and they left a gap to look outside, while Li Mu carefully picked up Yun'er, and carried him to the side of Bai Osmanthus.
The movements of the two were very light and did not disturb other people.
Li Mu put Yun'er away, and quietly walked to Zhong Xiuyuan's side, followed the curtain he opened slightly, and looked outside.
Now is the coldest time in winter, and the whole mountain is covered with heavy white snow. In some places, the snow is several meters deep, and in some places, there are still black rock walls or dead branches exposed.
The place where they live is in the middle of the three mountains. Looking out from the entrance of the cave, the scenery they can see is in the shape of a trumpet.
Originally, the goal should be a piece of white snow shining brightly under the moonlight, but tonight, something different appeared in the snow.
The two stood quietly in the middle of the snow for a while, and finally Zhong Xiuyuan moved first. He slightly nodded at Li Mu, his eyes full of vigilance and vigilance.
Li Mu looked outside again, then turned around and walked to the side of other people who were sleeping soundly, and he slapped them all awake with very light movements.
Everyone had slept soundly at first, and in addition to this cold night, after being woken up, their brains went blank for a short moment.
After a while, under Li Mu's hint, he quietly sat up and got dressed.
In the snowy night, they didn't light a fire, but with the moonlight outside and the reflection of the white snow on the ground, everything in the cave could be vaguely seen.
Li Mu woke everyone up suddenly, and Zhong Xiuyuan was standing guardedly at the entrance of the cave looking out. Although everyone was puzzled, they couldn't help becoming nervous at the moment.
After Li Mu woke everyone up, he walked to the place where they put their luggage, and took out the weapon from the bottom of the luggage that he had brought into the mountain before.
Li Mu held a long knife by himself, a bow and arrow to Zhong Xiuyuan, and the remaining short weapons for self-defense. After Li Mu kept a dagger, the others were given to the people around him.
Seeing Li Mu's posture, the remaining blood on the faces of the three mothers and sons of the Su family and Bai Guihua disappeared instantly, and everyone trembled in fear. Only Zhong Manlu turned pale, but still took the weapon in hand.
Seeing Li Mu approaching Zhong Xiuyuan's side through the light of the moonlight and Bai Xue, Bai Osmanthus picked up Yun'er who was next to her, and also picked a dagger that looked a little lighter from the quilt and laid it across in front of her. .
The mountain is not safe, they knew this before they entered the mountain, but they have been in the mountain for more than a month now, and they have not encountered any danger, so everyone gradually forgot about it.
Seeing that Bai Osmanthus made a move, the sister-in-law of the Su family seemed to have been reminded, and hurriedly chose a weapon. She protected her youngest son by her side, and gave Su Yu the same defense.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan kept a motionless posture, watching the distance quietly, they held their breath, and only their eyes were rolling.
This waited for a long time, maybe half a stick of tea had passed, but the two of them still didn't move.
After nearly half a cup of tea, Bai Osmanthus started to move. She hugged Yun'er and tried to stand up and walk over there. Seeing this, Li Mu quickly turned around and stopped her.
Bai Osmanthus still listened to Li Mu's words very much. Seeing Li Mu's movements, she quickly and slowly sat back down, but with this movement, she could vaguely see what Li Mu and the others were looking at.
The time was very short, and she didn't see it completely, but she recognized those things at a glance, they were wolves.
A pack of wolves.
In front of the cave, probably near the lake where the ducks used to go to catch fish, a group of wolves, which were about the size of a palm, stood in a row, watching quietly with pairs of green eyes. watching them.
They don't know how long they have been standing there, motionless. If it weren't for the contrast between their fur and the surrounding white snow, no one would have noticed their existence.
002.
Bai Osmanthus just glanced at it, and was immediately frightened by those wolves, her hands and feet began to tremble.
Those wolves were not humans, but animals. They looked at them with cold and heartless eyes, as if they were looking at a pile of meat.
Bai Osmanthus didn't know why they had waited so long without moving, she just watched from a distance, but she knew from those hungry and panicked eyes that these wolves would never give up easily.
Everyone didn't move, they quietly held their breath and waited.
Time passed bit by bit, and no one knew how long it had passed, maybe it was only an hour, maybe it was two hours.
Just when everyone in the cave was numb due to maintaining a motionless posture, the wolves outside the cave finally moved.
Some of the wolves seemed to be impatient, so after wandering among the wolves for a while, they turned around and left.
A total of seven or eight of them walked away, and they walked slowly towards the distance, gradually disappearing in the white snow.
The remaining ten or so wolves also had some commotion because these wolves left, but they didn't turn around and leave immediately.
Watching the movements of those wolves, the two who had been standing at the entrance of the cave and looking outside looked at each other, their nerves were still tense, and they did not relax at all.
Wolves are different from other animals. They hunt cooperatively, and there is an obvious hierarchical concept among the pack leaders of wolves. As long as the head wolf does not leave, they are not out of danger.
After an unknown amount of time, the remaining dozen or so wolves seemed to have lost their minds, and slowly dispersed one by one, either squatting in the snow, or continuing to stand and watch.
Seeing the appearance of those wolves, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan also took action.
Li Mu took a step back and returned to the cave. He put down the knife he had been holding in his hand and moved his hands and feet.
Seeing this, the other people in the cave also breathed a sigh of relief, and began to move their already stiff and numb bodies with gentle movements.
It's just that Li Mu didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to speak.
After Li Mu finished exercising his hands and feet, he found a place in the cave to sit down and rest, and put on his clothes to keep warm.
Just now when he and Zhong Xiuyuan heard the movement, they immediately acted, and they didn't have time to take care of their clothes.
Seeing this, the others quickly learned to keep warm.
After Li Mu sat in the cave for about half a cup of tea, he stood up and changed shifts with Zhong Xiuyuan, and Zhong Xiuyuan went to rest and recover.
By the time Zhong Xiuyuan and Li Mu changed shifts again, a very long time had passed, and the night sky had gradually dissipated, and it looked like it was almost dawn.
Seeing the light outside getting brighter and brighter, except for Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan, the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and lost their previous nervousness.
After Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan took turns changing twice, the wolves guarding outside seemed to have finally lost their patience, and they all got up slowly and walked towards the direction they came from. It disappeared from the sight of the two.
After the wolves had completely left, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan scouted the area, and after making sure that the wolves were gone, everyone really relaxed.
At this time, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan's faces were covered with cold sweat.
Naturally, Bai Osmanthus and the others felt lucky to escape the danger, but Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan shook their heads with wry smiles when they heard those words.
"Brother?" Zhong Manlu keenly noticed what was wrong with the two of them, and hurriedly asked, "It's already dawn, and those wolves are gone, so they probably won't come again, right?"
The rest of the people hurriedly looked at the two of them, hoping to hear affirmative words from their mouths.
Li Mu did not have so much time to explain to him, but after discussing with Zhong Xiuyuan for a while, he assigned tasks to everyone, "Sister-in-law, you will follow Zhong Xiuyuan to cut branches outside later, he will Let me tell you what to chop. Zhong Manlu, take Su Yu with you later, and drag back all the things they chopped."
Things like wolves are extremely intelligent, so when food is scarce, they cannot easily let them go.
The reason why they did not launch an attack immediately last night was probably because they were not sure about their situation at first, and then they probably sensed the murderous intent of Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan, so they prepared to observe again.
Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan originally thought that the pack of wolves would attack at dawn, when their defenses were weakest and most tired, but they really didn't expect them to leave.
But this is not something to be thankful for, and their departure made it even worse.
Because if they came up to attack them last night, with the two of them and the previous traps, it is not impossible for them to fight.
But after last night, they are very tired now, and those wolves will obviously plan more carefully after observing them. If they attack again tonight, they will obviously be at a disadvantage.
Of course, Li Mu couldn't just sit and wait like this, he would definitely find a way.
It is not an easy task for a few of them to compete with these twenty wolves, and the chance of winning is very small, so the best way is to dig more traps, and then use the traps to find a way.
But there are seven of them now, and only five of them can do things. Even if they don't eat or drink in one day, they can't do much...
The few people who were already rejoicing saw that Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan's faces were not happy and couldn't be happy anymore. After eating something, they immediately acted according to what Li Mu said.
During the entire day, everyone was busy almost non-stop.
In the evening, when it was getting dark, everyone drove the ducks into the cave, and after paving all the snow in the fenced yard, they each took their weapons and waited with bated breath.
Because I don't know when the pack of wolves will come, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan, who didn't sleep last night and have been busy during the day, are divided into two shifts, one to guard and the other to take the opportunity to rest in the middle of the night, and it will be more dangerous when it is almost dawn. Only two people guard together.
Bai Osmanthus and Li Mu originally arranged for them to sleep. After all, there was not much they could do to help, and it was not an option to spend time with them all the time.
But knowing that there are wolves staring at them outside, how can this group of people sleep?
So although everyone was lying side by side, each of them was holding their weapons and staring wide-eyed.
Around midnight last night, there was another commotion outside, this time the commotion outside was much louder than the previous night, even Bai Osmanthus and the others clearly noticed it.
The pack of wolves passed the position of the pond last night, and moved a lot closer to them, and they had already reached the area where they lived.
Looking at those wolves, Bai Osmanthus and the others in the cave couldn't help but suck in the cold air. Only Li Mu leaned against the wall with his knife in his arms, and the old god remained motionless with his eyes closed.
The approach of the pack of wolves did not make Zhong Xiuyuan move, he was still sitting on the ground, just quietly watching the actions outside through the curtain.
Everyone waited with bated breath, waiting for the moment when the wolves attacked them, but this night, they were not attacked.
Until the sky was bright, the pack of wolves were divided into several batches like yesterday, and they left slowly. They didn't cross the thunder pool half a step, and they still obediently stayed outside the range of the cave they were in.
Everyone should have been overjoyed to pass another night safely, but this time, even Bai Osmanthus and the others couldn't laugh anymore.
Because they stayed up all night for two consecutive nights, and worked hard for another day during the day. Under the highly tense situation, their spirits were already very exhausted, and they couldn't hold on anymore.
Faced with such a result, both Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan had a somewhat ugly expression on their faces.
These wolves are much smarter than they thought, and they're consuming them.
Surround the prey, slowly push it to a corner, and then watch them resist vigorously, and then rush forward when they exhaust all their strength!
This is a common trick used by wolves, and it is also a very effective trick.
In this situation, they are already at a disadvantage, because although they know the tricks of those wolves, they have nothing to do with them.
This cave was their only barrier, and it was impossible for them to leave the cave to fight those wolves outside.
So even if they knew that these wolves were consuming them, even if they knew that the longer the delay, the worse it would be for them, they could only continue to wait for the moment when these wolves attacked.
After a simple meal, Li Mu continued to set up traps near the cave, trying to create a bigger chance of winning as much as possible.
Although everyone is as active as yesterday, the physical and mental exhaustion is slowly showing up, and the efficiency is far less than yesterday.
In the blink of an eye, it was dark in the evening again.
After eating, when Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan went to see the ducks and drove the ducks to this side, they stopped and chatted briefly while other people were not paying attention.
"...Don't worry about Zhongman Road, he will find a way to deal with it himself." Zhong Xiuyuan said, "I have already found an opportunity to talk to him quietly, and asked him to pay more attention to Yun'er."
Under such circumstances, no one can guarantee anyone's safety.
On Zhongman Road, because I usually practice with the two of them occasionally, so I can rest assured in terms of skills, but I don't have much actual combat experience...
003.
Li Mu nodded, and said in a soft voice between his movements: "Be careful yourself."
The degree of danger this time was far higher than the last time. Last time they could find a chance to escape, but this time they could only fight hard.
And if they could, they had to kill as many wolves as possible at once. Even if they didn't kill them, they had to make them dare not come again. Otherwise, they might not have such good luck next time.
Hearing Li Mu's rare active concern, Zhong Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled as if he had recovered.
He took a step forward, stood beside Li Mu, then stretched out his hand to hold Li Mu's hand, and shook hands with Li Mu's ten fingers.
After all, he and Li Mu will not be left alone to live alone.
"Okay, let's go back!" Li Mu opened the duck cage and let the duck out of the cage.
In the past two days, Li Mu, Zhong Xiuyuan and others have been busy setting traps, so they have no time to control the ducks. The ducks are uncomfortable being locked up. Seeing the door of the duck cage opened, they all ran out immediately.
After spending some time driving all the ducks into the cave and shutting them up, Li Mu gathered all the ducks to the edge of the cave, and while the sky was still dark, he repeated the previous arrangement.
There are more than 20 wolves on the opposite side, but they only have two people who are likely to fight back. It is definitely impossible to fight head-on, so they can only choose to outsmart.
Fortunately, although they have consumed a lot of energy and physical strength in the past two days, they have prepared everything that should be prepared.
"Do you remember?" After Li Mu explained all the arrangements, he asked the people behind him.
It was impossible for Bai Guihua and Su's sister-in-law to fight like them with weapons, so the two of them were arranged by Li Mu to help control several traps.
Most of the traps are dug under the ground, but Li Mu also has arrangements on the ground, but those traps need to be manually operated and the timing needs to be seen.
Once there is chaos at that time, he and Zhong Xiuyuan will definitely not have time to take care of these traps, so this task will be left to these two people.
Zhong Manlu's task is to ensure the safety of these two people, to ensure that they can normally control the trap according to Li Mu's order.
Both of them were a little nervous. Under Li Mudi's gaze, they roughly said all the usage methods that Li Mu had mentioned before, and then looked at Li Mu nervously.
After seeing Li Mu nodding, the two breathed a sigh of relief.
After finishing the final preparations, everyone returned to the cave, extinguished the bonfire, and waited quietly.
Almost at the same time, the pack of wolves appeared at the same place again, this time they did not continue to approach here, but watched quietly from where they were last night.
Time passed bit by bit. In the middle of the night, except for Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan, the rest of the people were very nervous but couldn't help yawning. Although they had rest during the day, they basically didn't sleep for long. It's almost to the limit.
Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan, who were taking a rest after changing shifts, looked a little dignified after looking at the gradually brightening sky.
The two squatted at the entrance of the cave, one on the left and the other on the right, looking at the wolves still in the distance with some headaches.
"They're not ready to come yet." After waiting for a while, Zhong Xiuyuan had no choice but to tell the story.
Li Mu had already seen their intentions, but now hearing Zhong Xiuyuan's words, he couldn't help frowning.
Seeing this, the other people in the cave breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan frowning more tightly than before, they couldn't help becoming nervous again.
"What's the matter?" Su's sister-in-law asked, in her opinion, it would be a good thing if those wolves didn't come over.
Li Mu glanced back at her, his solemn face became more and more cold, "We won't be able to take it any longer."
Even if they don't attack tonight and come back tomorrow, after dawn, few of them will be able to sleep and rest. Instead, they will only become more nervous because of the imminent danger.
"But why don't they move?" Zhong Xiuyuan also frowned and looked at the wolves.
Those wolves still stayed where they were last night, but probably because it was already the third night, some of those wolves couldn't hold their breath anymore, and they had been walking around restlessly since the beginning.
However, the wolf pack has always been a highly organized group. The wolf has been sitting motionless and watching, and the restless wolves can only wait by the side.
Li Mu looked at the pack of wolves suspiciously. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't understand the reason why these wolves still stood still.
To analyze the current situation, their current situation has indeed reached an extremely bad time, and it will not make much sense for those wolves to delay it for another day, unless...
"What?" Li Mu frowned, and Zhong Xiuyuan immediately knew that he must have thought of something.
"Could it be because they don't have much strength?" Li Mu said his guess, he was a little uncertain.
These wolves have been very cautious and nervous since the first time they found them. He always thought it was because these wolves were very cautious, but could it be because these wolves have been short of food for a long time, so they are very weak?
Zhong Xiuyuan is not stupid, he has been able to lead troops to fight for so many years, and he has an extremely good brain.
After hearing Li Mu's suspicion, he looked at the wolves outside again, and said after a while, "We were fooled."
Because the number of opponents is large and they are extremely threatening, they made a mistake at the beginning.
In the beginning, they stood still, not because they didn't know the situation, or because they wanted to consume them on purpose, but because they were weak and had no chance of winning, so they made such a bad move!
"Damn it!" Li Mu clicked his tongue, and his expression became a little more annoyed.
They worried too much, but they got themselves caught in the trap!
Listening to Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan's words, the rest of the people didn't understand, and the only one who probably understood, Zhong Manlu, became nervous at this moment, "Then what should we do now?"
If they really wait until tomorrow, then they will really lose, and there is no chance of winning at all!
"We can't wait any longer." Li Mu said the result.
He stood up, turned around in the cave, seemed to be thinking, and then when everyone's eyes followed him around the cave, he stopped in front of the duck.
Zhong Xiuyuan immediately thought of something, he stood up, "I'll go."
Li Mu looked back at him, but didn't say anything, and didn't agree.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Li Mu got up among the ducks with the two half-sized ducks he bought later, and walked out of the cave amidst the quacking of a group of ducks.
When he was about to leave the door, Li Mu looked at Zhong Xiuyuan, "You cover me."
Zhong Xiuyuan is very good at bow and arrow, and it is the best choice for him to be the cover.
Zhong Xiuyuan himself obviously understood this, and his already pale face turned even paler in an instant.He pursed his lips and looked at Li Mu, and after a while, he raised his bow.
Li Mu took his long knife, carried the duck out the door, and walked into the snow.
When the wolves outside the cave saw Li Mu coming out, they immediately perked up. They all stood up and looked at Li Mu. Their green eyes were like blooming orchids in the dark night, which was creepy.
Li Mu walked to the middle of the fenced courtyard outside the cave. He glanced coldly at the wolf king who was still calm and composed, raised the duck in his hand, and began to bleed.
Even if these wolves don't come in today, they have to come in!
They can't wait until tomorrow.
The duck quacked in pain, and the bright red liquid slid down Li Mu's hand, instantly staining the snow-white ground red, and the fishy-sweet breath slowly spread in the cold night.
The disgusting smell in their nostrils became a fatal temptation to the noses of the hungry wolves.
As soon as the blood fell to the ground, the bloody aura dispersed in the night sky. All the wolves who were still calm immediately became agitated, and even the wolf king who had been calm stood up.
The snorts of those wolves came from the darkness, and several anxious ones had already taken two tentative steps forward, but they backed away only because the wolf king next to them roared from their throats.
"Quack..." Li Mu threw the ducks in his hands to the ground, and they flapped their wings and hid to the side with injuries on their bodies. The smell of blood in the air was also more intense because of their movements.
"Aww..." A wolf howl broke the tranquility of the night.
The next moment, nearly ten or so wolves couldn't bear it anymore, turned into black shadows, and rushed towards Li Mu's direction.
At the same time, Li Mu raised the long knife in his hand, and the sound of the sword piercing the sky also sounded.
After two sounds of "Instigation, Instigation", the howling of wolves came from the snow.
Those wailing and the smell of blood completely stimulated all the wolves, even the wolf king couldn't calm down anymore, and rushed towards Li Mu instinctively.
The wolves were very fast, and they rushed to the fenced yard almost instantly, but at the same time they landed, the ground suddenly emptied, and the originally flat white snow collapsed, revealing many sharp spears sticking upside down.
"Oh..." Several of the wolves that jumped in further fell into the trap.They fluttered and tried to jump up, but they had no strength left. The sharp spears pierced their bodies, causing them to lose their strength quickly.
Seeing this scene, the other wolves immediately changed their jumping footholds. Except for one that slipped down, almost all of them landed safely where there was no trap.
Li Mu turned his back to the entrance of the cave, drew a sword flower with the long knife in his hand, and stared coldly at the pack of wolves that were slowly walking towards him in front of him.
Zhong Xiuyuan had already walked out of the cave. He was standing close to the entrance of the cave. The bow in his hand was fully drawn, and the tip of the arrow pointed directly at the position next to Li Mu.
The air stood still for a moment, and the next moment, Li Mu suddenly rolled backwards, and at the same time he yelled, "Let go!"
His movement was sudden. After the wolves were stunned for a moment, they rushed forward and tried to pounce on Li Mu, but at the moment they gathered forward, a black shadow suddenly pressed down!
The wooden fence full of wooden stakes and spears hanging above the fence outside the cave was overwhelmingly crushed, instantly crushing the large open space in front of Li Mu's feet to death.
This was the biggest trap that Li Mu had set up before, and this time it really caught a lot of wolves, and nearly seven or eight wolves failed to escape, and were nailed down alive by those wooden stakes.
All of a sudden, the smell of blood and the sound of wailing spread in the night, making the originally quiet night even more turbulent.
After Zhong Xiuyuan released two arrows, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand to grab Li Mu who was lying on the ground, and pulled him up from the ground with a strong tug.
Without saying a word, Li Mu immediately cooperated with his movements tacitly, exerting force on his waist, and at the same time the whole mermaid jumped up and kicked the wolf that was rushing towards him by Zhong Xiuyuan's hand, and kicked the wolf away.
Those ducks chased Li Mu and ran around the cave. It didn't take long for the fish to be eaten by the ducks. Li Mu was furious, but everyone was about to laugh and cry.
This can't be blamed on them, mainly because Li Mu usually looks serious, with a serious face and character, and he has never shown such embarrassment.
Seeing that there were only a dozen pitiful fish left in Li Mu's hands, Zhong Xiuyuan finally couldn't see it anymore. He stood up and whistled clearly in the snow.
Let Li Mu be bullied by these ducks again, he should feel distressed.
As Zhong Xiuyuan whistled, those ducks that had been chasing Li Mu at the beginning finally calmed down. They looked at Li Mu reluctantly, and then slowly swayed their buttocks and walked towards Zhong Xiuyuan. where the duck cage is located.
Li Mu was rescued, but he didn't show a happy expression, but stared at those ducks and Zhong Xiuyuan more and more angrily.
These ducks ate his food and drank his food. They were brought up by him hand in hand from childhood to adulthood, but in the end they bullied him to listen to Zhong Xiuyuan's words.
Li Mu looked at the fish in his hand, not only his heart ached, but he already had the urge to eat duck.
Zhong Xiuyuan saw all this in his eyes. After he called the ducks back, he let them all enter the duck cage, and after spilling all the duck food in his hand on the ground, he clapped his hands and walked towards the bullied. Li Mu.
Zhong Xiuyuan suppressed the smile on his face, saw that there were only a few pitiful little fish left in Li Mu's hands, he cleared his throat, and said, "Ahem... are you okay?"
Although Zhong Xiuyuan tried his best to look serious, he couldn't help but smile a little when he blurted out the words.
Li Mu glanced at Zhong Xiuyuan quietly.
The latter felt a chill down his spine, his face flushed instantly, and his eyes revealed a bit of unconcealable panic.
Li Mu, shouldn't he be hating him again?
After Li Mu, Zhong Xiuyuan also began to feel aggrieved, "I didn't tell them to chase you..."
Zhong Xiuyuan said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, but because the impression of the previous events was too deep, when Zhong Xiuyuan said this, his voice trembled a bit.
Li Mu looked at Zhong Xiuyuan's eyes more and more deeply, until Zhong Xiuyuan's scalp became numb, he stuffed all the little fish left in his hand into Zhong Xiuyuan's hand, and then glared again The ducks turned and walked away angrily.
Seeing this, Zhong Xiuyuan was even more dumbfounded.
The glutton in this person's stomach is probably going to make a fuss.
It's just helpless, Zhong Xiuyuan still carefully held the fish and put them into the cave.
After such a commotion, everyone was in a good mood.
After feeding the ducks, they talked and laughed and went to the side to rest. Zhong Xiuyuan took this opportunity to come to the side of the duck cage and looked at the ducks that had become lazy because they were full.
He knew that he must be missed by Li Mu again. At this moment, the temperature on his face had risen uncontrollably. He was so scared, but also so looking forward...
Zhong Xiuyuan stood alone beside those ducks, and after a long while, he choked out a sentence, "Don't bully him all the time in the future."
There were no other people around, Zhong Xiuyuan's words were speaking to the ducks in the duck cage.
After eating and drinking, these ducks in the winter lazily lay motionless on the ground. After hearing Zhong Xiuyuan's words, only one or two of them stretched their necks and quacked twice.
Zhong Xiuyuan didn't care whether these ducks listened to him, let alone whether these ducks understood, he paused and said: "If you bully him like this, if he gets angry in the future, he won't care about you."
Thinking of this person's character of always reporting flaws, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing, he was really curious about how this person's character was developed?
Zhong Xiuyuan stood beside the duck cage with a smirk on his face. The ducks in the duck cage couldn't bear Zhong Xiuyuan's foolishness at the moment, and one by one hid their heads in their wings, completely ignoring him. he.
Zhong Xiuyuan looked at this scene and felt a little stupid, but...
In the cave, Zhong Manlu, who had nothing to do, looked at his brother who was talking seriously with a group of ducks in the distance, and there was a bit of disgust in his eyes.
Why does he always feel that the scene he sees now is a bit like a naughty child having trouble with his father, and the mother is going to teach the child a lesson?
Li Mu had been busy all morning and managed to catch more than a dozen small fish, all of which were eaten by these ducks, and the remaining few were fried by him with great care. up.
After eating at noon, everyone helped to release the ducks with white spots on their backs, and let them forage by themselves by the water. When it was getting dark, they helped drive the ducks back.
It was dark in the evening, and when everyone returned to the cave where the bonfire was lit, Zhong Xiuyuan, who stayed in the cave, was sitting on the ground with flushed cheeks. Seeing everyone coming in, his eyes showed a bit of panic.
The other person standing in the cave, Li Mu, was thinking about the fishhook in his hand with a half-smile, the glutton in his stomach was not full yet.
After entering the cave, she noticed that the atmosphere in the cave was a little strange, Bai Osmanthus immediately smiled and turned her head to cover the eyes of the youngest boy in the Su family, "Kids, don't look at it."
Zhong Xiuyuan looked at Bai Osmanthus's actions, and instantly became more uncomfortable, "...I'll go for a walk." He lowered his head and muttered, and left the cave.
Zhong Xiuyuan's departure not only did not calm the crowd down, but made them laugh for a while.
Hearing that laughter, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help speeding up his pace a little, and his figure became more and more embarrassed.
After the sky darkened, the people gathered around the stove and cooked some food to fill their stomachs. They spread quilts and lay down on the ground to rest early.
Now their conditions are not allowed, and they can only keep everything simple, so a group of people all sleep in the same cave.
Next to Li Mu is Zhong Xiuyuan, next to Zhong Xiuyuan is Zhongman Road, and next to Zhongman Road is the little boy from the Su family, then his mother, Su Yu, and Bai Osmanthus.
Yun'er is still young, and she is held in Li Mu's arms to sleep at night, so she can take care of her if she wakes up at night.
In the silent snowy night, there were no insects or birds singing, and everyone soon fell asleep.
Nearly midnight, Li Mu, who was sleeping with long breaths, suddenly opened his eyes, and almost at the same time, Zhong Xiuyuan, who was beside him, also opened his black eyes.
The two listened quietly for a while, holding their breath, and then looked at each other in the darkness.
The next moment, both of them sat up.
Zhong Xiuyuan walked to the entrance of the cave and they left a gap to look outside, while Li Mu carefully picked up Yun'er, and carried him to the side of Bai Osmanthus.
The movements of the two were very light and did not disturb other people.
Li Mu put Yun'er away, and quietly walked to Zhong Xiuyuan's side, followed the curtain he opened slightly, and looked outside.
Now is the coldest time in winter, and the whole mountain is covered with heavy white snow. In some places, the snow is several meters deep, and in some places, there are still black rock walls or dead branches exposed.
The place where they live is in the middle of the three mountains. Looking out from the entrance of the cave, the scenery they can see is in the shape of a trumpet.
Originally, the goal should be a piece of white snow shining brightly under the moonlight, but tonight, something different appeared in the snow.
The two stood quietly in the middle of the snow for a while, and finally Zhong Xiuyuan moved first. He slightly nodded at Li Mu, his eyes full of vigilance and vigilance.
Li Mu looked outside again, then turned around and walked to the side of other people who were sleeping soundly, and he slapped them all awake with very light movements.
Everyone had slept soundly at first, and in addition to this cold night, after being woken up, their brains went blank for a short moment.
After a while, under Li Mu's hint, he quietly sat up and got dressed.
In the snowy night, they didn't light a fire, but with the moonlight outside and the reflection of the white snow on the ground, everything in the cave could be vaguely seen.
Li Mu woke everyone up suddenly, and Zhong Xiuyuan was standing guardedly at the entrance of the cave looking out. Although everyone was puzzled, they couldn't help becoming nervous at the moment.
After Li Mu woke everyone up, he walked to the place where they put their luggage, and took out the weapon from the bottom of the luggage that he had brought into the mountain before.
Li Mu held a long knife by himself, a bow and arrow to Zhong Xiuyuan, and the remaining short weapons for self-defense. After Li Mu kept a dagger, the others were given to the people around him.
Seeing Li Mu's posture, the remaining blood on the faces of the three mothers and sons of the Su family and Bai Guihua disappeared instantly, and everyone trembled in fear. Only Zhong Manlu turned pale, but still took the weapon in hand.
Seeing Li Mu approaching Zhong Xiuyuan's side through the light of the moonlight and Bai Xue, Bai Osmanthus picked up Yun'er who was next to her, and also picked a dagger that looked a little lighter from the quilt and laid it across in front of her. .
The mountain is not safe, they knew this before they entered the mountain, but they have been in the mountain for more than a month now, and they have not encountered any danger, so everyone gradually forgot about it.
Seeing that Bai Osmanthus made a move, the sister-in-law of the Su family seemed to have been reminded, and hurriedly chose a weapon. She protected her youngest son by her side, and gave Su Yu the same defense.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan kept a motionless posture, watching the distance quietly, they held their breath, and only their eyes were rolling.
This waited for a long time, maybe half a stick of tea had passed, but the two of them still didn't move.
After nearly half a cup of tea, Bai Osmanthus started to move. She hugged Yun'er and tried to stand up and walk over there. Seeing this, Li Mu quickly turned around and stopped her.
Bai Osmanthus still listened to Li Mu's words very much. Seeing Li Mu's movements, she quickly and slowly sat back down, but with this movement, she could vaguely see what Li Mu and the others were looking at.
The time was very short, and she didn't see it completely, but she recognized those things at a glance, they were wolves.
A pack of wolves.
In front of the cave, probably near the lake where the ducks used to go to catch fish, a group of wolves, which were about the size of a palm, stood in a row, watching quietly with pairs of green eyes. watching them.
They don't know how long they have been standing there, motionless. If it weren't for the contrast between their fur and the surrounding white snow, no one would have noticed their existence.
002.
Bai Osmanthus just glanced at it, and was immediately frightened by those wolves, her hands and feet began to tremble.
Those wolves were not humans, but animals. They looked at them with cold and heartless eyes, as if they were looking at a pile of meat.
Bai Osmanthus didn't know why they had waited so long without moving, she just watched from a distance, but she knew from those hungry and panicked eyes that these wolves would never give up easily.
Everyone didn't move, they quietly held their breath and waited.
Time passed bit by bit, and no one knew how long it had passed, maybe it was only an hour, maybe it was two hours.
Just when everyone in the cave was numb due to maintaining a motionless posture, the wolves outside the cave finally moved.
Some of the wolves seemed to be impatient, so after wandering among the wolves for a while, they turned around and left.
A total of seven or eight of them walked away, and they walked slowly towards the distance, gradually disappearing in the white snow.
The remaining ten or so wolves also had some commotion because these wolves left, but they didn't turn around and leave immediately.
Watching the movements of those wolves, the two who had been standing at the entrance of the cave and looking outside looked at each other, their nerves were still tense, and they did not relax at all.
Wolves are different from other animals. They hunt cooperatively, and there is an obvious hierarchical concept among the pack leaders of wolves. As long as the head wolf does not leave, they are not out of danger.
After an unknown amount of time, the remaining dozen or so wolves seemed to have lost their minds, and slowly dispersed one by one, either squatting in the snow, or continuing to stand and watch.
Seeing the appearance of those wolves, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan also took action.
Li Mu took a step back and returned to the cave. He put down the knife he had been holding in his hand and moved his hands and feet.
Seeing this, the other people in the cave also breathed a sigh of relief, and began to move their already stiff and numb bodies with gentle movements.
It's just that Li Mu didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to speak.
After Li Mu finished exercising his hands and feet, he found a place in the cave to sit down and rest, and put on his clothes to keep warm.
Just now when he and Zhong Xiuyuan heard the movement, they immediately acted, and they didn't have time to take care of their clothes.
Seeing this, the others quickly learned to keep warm.
After Li Mu sat in the cave for about half a cup of tea, he stood up and changed shifts with Zhong Xiuyuan, and Zhong Xiuyuan went to rest and recover.
By the time Zhong Xiuyuan and Li Mu changed shifts again, a very long time had passed, and the night sky had gradually dissipated, and it looked like it was almost dawn.
Seeing the light outside getting brighter and brighter, except for Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan, the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and lost their previous nervousness.
After Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan took turns changing twice, the wolves guarding outside seemed to have finally lost their patience, and they all got up slowly and walked towards the direction they came from. It disappeared from the sight of the two.
After the wolves had completely left, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan scouted the area, and after making sure that the wolves were gone, everyone really relaxed.
At this time, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan's faces were covered with cold sweat.
Naturally, Bai Osmanthus and the others felt lucky to escape the danger, but Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan shook their heads with wry smiles when they heard those words.
"Brother?" Zhong Manlu keenly noticed what was wrong with the two of them, and hurriedly asked, "It's already dawn, and those wolves are gone, so they probably won't come again, right?"
The rest of the people hurriedly looked at the two of them, hoping to hear affirmative words from their mouths.
Li Mu did not have so much time to explain to him, but after discussing with Zhong Xiuyuan for a while, he assigned tasks to everyone, "Sister-in-law, you will follow Zhong Xiuyuan to cut branches outside later, he will Let me tell you what to chop. Zhong Manlu, take Su Yu with you later, and drag back all the things they chopped."
Things like wolves are extremely intelligent, so when food is scarce, they cannot easily let them go.
The reason why they did not launch an attack immediately last night was probably because they were not sure about their situation at first, and then they probably sensed the murderous intent of Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan, so they prepared to observe again.
Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan originally thought that the pack of wolves would attack at dawn, when their defenses were weakest and most tired, but they really didn't expect them to leave.
But this is not something to be thankful for, and their departure made it even worse.
Because if they came up to attack them last night, with the two of them and the previous traps, it is not impossible for them to fight.
But after last night, they are very tired now, and those wolves will obviously plan more carefully after observing them. If they attack again tonight, they will obviously be at a disadvantage.
Of course, Li Mu couldn't just sit and wait like this, he would definitely find a way.
It is not an easy task for a few of them to compete with these twenty wolves, and the chance of winning is very small, so the best way is to dig more traps, and then use the traps to find a way.
But there are seven of them now, and only five of them can do things. Even if they don't eat or drink in one day, they can't do much...
The few people who were already rejoicing saw that Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan's faces were not happy and couldn't be happy anymore. After eating something, they immediately acted according to what Li Mu said.
During the entire day, everyone was busy almost non-stop.
In the evening, when it was getting dark, everyone drove the ducks into the cave, and after paving all the snow in the fenced yard, they each took their weapons and waited with bated breath.
Because I don't know when the pack of wolves will come, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan, who didn't sleep last night and have been busy during the day, are divided into two shifts, one to guard and the other to take the opportunity to rest in the middle of the night, and it will be more dangerous when it is almost dawn. Only two people guard together.
Bai Osmanthus and Li Mu originally arranged for them to sleep. After all, there was not much they could do to help, and it was not an option to spend time with them all the time.
But knowing that there are wolves staring at them outside, how can this group of people sleep?
So although everyone was lying side by side, each of them was holding their weapons and staring wide-eyed.
Around midnight last night, there was another commotion outside, this time the commotion outside was much louder than the previous night, even Bai Osmanthus and the others clearly noticed it.
The pack of wolves passed the position of the pond last night, and moved a lot closer to them, and they had already reached the area where they lived.
Looking at those wolves, Bai Osmanthus and the others in the cave couldn't help but suck in the cold air. Only Li Mu leaned against the wall with his knife in his arms, and the old god remained motionless with his eyes closed.
The approach of the pack of wolves did not make Zhong Xiuyuan move, he was still sitting on the ground, just quietly watching the actions outside through the curtain.
Everyone waited with bated breath, waiting for the moment when the wolves attacked them, but this night, they were not attacked.
Until the sky was bright, the pack of wolves were divided into several batches like yesterday, and they left slowly. They didn't cross the thunder pool half a step, and they still obediently stayed outside the range of the cave they were in.
Everyone should have been overjoyed to pass another night safely, but this time, even Bai Osmanthus and the others couldn't laugh anymore.
Because they stayed up all night for two consecutive nights, and worked hard for another day during the day. Under the highly tense situation, their spirits were already very exhausted, and they couldn't hold on anymore.
Faced with such a result, both Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan had a somewhat ugly expression on their faces.
These wolves are much smarter than they thought, and they're consuming them.
Surround the prey, slowly push it to a corner, and then watch them resist vigorously, and then rush forward when they exhaust all their strength!
This is a common trick used by wolves, and it is also a very effective trick.
In this situation, they are already at a disadvantage, because although they know the tricks of those wolves, they have nothing to do with them.
This cave was their only barrier, and it was impossible for them to leave the cave to fight those wolves outside.
So even if they knew that these wolves were consuming them, even if they knew that the longer the delay, the worse it would be for them, they could only continue to wait for the moment when these wolves attacked.
After a simple meal, Li Mu continued to set up traps near the cave, trying to create a bigger chance of winning as much as possible.
Although everyone is as active as yesterday, the physical and mental exhaustion is slowly showing up, and the efficiency is far less than yesterday.
In the blink of an eye, it was dark in the evening again.
After eating, when Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan went to see the ducks and drove the ducks to this side, they stopped and chatted briefly while other people were not paying attention.
"...Don't worry about Zhongman Road, he will find a way to deal with it himself." Zhong Xiuyuan said, "I have already found an opportunity to talk to him quietly, and asked him to pay more attention to Yun'er."
Under such circumstances, no one can guarantee anyone's safety.
On Zhongman Road, because I usually practice with the two of them occasionally, so I can rest assured in terms of skills, but I don't have much actual combat experience...
003.
Li Mu nodded, and said in a soft voice between his movements: "Be careful yourself."
The degree of danger this time was far higher than the last time. Last time they could find a chance to escape, but this time they could only fight hard.
And if they could, they had to kill as many wolves as possible at once. Even if they didn't kill them, they had to make them dare not come again. Otherwise, they might not have such good luck next time.
Hearing Li Mu's rare active concern, Zhong Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled as if he had recovered.
He took a step forward, stood beside Li Mu, then stretched out his hand to hold Li Mu's hand, and shook hands with Li Mu's ten fingers.
After all, he and Li Mu will not be left alone to live alone.
"Okay, let's go back!" Li Mu opened the duck cage and let the duck out of the cage.
In the past two days, Li Mu, Zhong Xiuyuan and others have been busy setting traps, so they have no time to control the ducks. The ducks are uncomfortable being locked up. Seeing the door of the duck cage opened, they all ran out immediately.
After spending some time driving all the ducks into the cave and shutting them up, Li Mu gathered all the ducks to the edge of the cave, and while the sky was still dark, he repeated the previous arrangement.
There are more than 20 wolves on the opposite side, but they only have two people who are likely to fight back. It is definitely impossible to fight head-on, so they can only choose to outsmart.
Fortunately, although they have consumed a lot of energy and physical strength in the past two days, they have prepared everything that should be prepared.
"Do you remember?" After Li Mu explained all the arrangements, he asked the people behind him.
It was impossible for Bai Guihua and Su's sister-in-law to fight like them with weapons, so the two of them were arranged by Li Mu to help control several traps.
Most of the traps are dug under the ground, but Li Mu also has arrangements on the ground, but those traps need to be manually operated and the timing needs to be seen.
Once there is chaos at that time, he and Zhong Xiuyuan will definitely not have time to take care of these traps, so this task will be left to these two people.
Zhong Manlu's task is to ensure the safety of these two people, to ensure that they can normally control the trap according to Li Mu's order.
Both of them were a little nervous. Under Li Mudi's gaze, they roughly said all the usage methods that Li Mu had mentioned before, and then looked at Li Mu nervously.
After seeing Li Mu nodding, the two breathed a sigh of relief.
After finishing the final preparations, everyone returned to the cave, extinguished the bonfire, and waited quietly.
Almost at the same time, the pack of wolves appeared at the same place again, this time they did not continue to approach here, but watched quietly from where they were last night.
Time passed bit by bit. In the middle of the night, except for Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan, the rest of the people were very nervous but couldn't help yawning. Although they had rest during the day, they basically didn't sleep for long. It's almost to the limit.
Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan, who were taking a rest after changing shifts, looked a little dignified after looking at the gradually brightening sky.
The two squatted at the entrance of the cave, one on the left and the other on the right, looking at the wolves still in the distance with some headaches.
"They're not ready to come yet." After waiting for a while, Zhong Xiuyuan had no choice but to tell the story.
Li Mu had already seen their intentions, but now hearing Zhong Xiuyuan's words, he couldn't help frowning.
Seeing this, the other people in the cave breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan frowning more tightly than before, they couldn't help becoming nervous again.
"What's the matter?" Su's sister-in-law asked, in her opinion, it would be a good thing if those wolves didn't come over.
Li Mu glanced back at her, his solemn face became more and more cold, "We won't be able to take it any longer."
Even if they don't attack tonight and come back tomorrow, after dawn, few of them will be able to sleep and rest. Instead, they will only become more nervous because of the imminent danger.
"But why don't they move?" Zhong Xiuyuan also frowned and looked at the wolves.
Those wolves still stayed where they were last night, but probably because it was already the third night, some of those wolves couldn't hold their breath anymore, and they had been walking around restlessly since the beginning.
However, the wolf pack has always been a highly organized group. The wolf has been sitting motionless and watching, and the restless wolves can only wait by the side.
Li Mu looked at the pack of wolves suspiciously. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't understand the reason why these wolves still stood still.
To analyze the current situation, their current situation has indeed reached an extremely bad time, and it will not make much sense for those wolves to delay it for another day, unless...
"What?" Li Mu frowned, and Zhong Xiuyuan immediately knew that he must have thought of something.
"Could it be because they don't have much strength?" Li Mu said his guess, he was a little uncertain.
These wolves have been very cautious and nervous since the first time they found them. He always thought it was because these wolves were very cautious, but could it be because these wolves have been short of food for a long time, so they are very weak?
Zhong Xiuyuan is not stupid, he has been able to lead troops to fight for so many years, and he has an extremely good brain.
After hearing Li Mu's suspicion, he looked at the wolves outside again, and said after a while, "We were fooled."
Because the number of opponents is large and they are extremely threatening, they made a mistake at the beginning.
In the beginning, they stood still, not because they didn't know the situation, or because they wanted to consume them on purpose, but because they were weak and had no chance of winning, so they made such a bad move!
"Damn it!" Li Mu clicked his tongue, and his expression became a little more annoyed.
They worried too much, but they got themselves caught in the trap!
Listening to Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan's words, the rest of the people didn't understand, and the only one who probably understood, Zhong Manlu, became nervous at this moment, "Then what should we do now?"
If they really wait until tomorrow, then they will really lose, and there is no chance of winning at all!
"We can't wait any longer." Li Mu said the result.
He stood up, turned around in the cave, seemed to be thinking, and then when everyone's eyes followed him around the cave, he stopped in front of the duck.
Zhong Xiuyuan immediately thought of something, he stood up, "I'll go."
Li Mu looked back at him, but didn't say anything, and didn't agree.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Li Mu got up among the ducks with the two half-sized ducks he bought later, and walked out of the cave amidst the quacking of a group of ducks.
When he was about to leave the door, Li Mu looked at Zhong Xiuyuan, "You cover me."
Zhong Xiuyuan is very good at bow and arrow, and it is the best choice for him to be the cover.
Zhong Xiuyuan himself obviously understood this, and his already pale face turned even paler in an instant.He pursed his lips and looked at Li Mu, and after a while, he raised his bow.
Li Mu took his long knife, carried the duck out the door, and walked into the snow.
When the wolves outside the cave saw Li Mu coming out, they immediately perked up. They all stood up and looked at Li Mu. Their green eyes were like blooming orchids in the dark night, which was creepy.
Li Mu walked to the middle of the fenced courtyard outside the cave. He glanced coldly at the wolf king who was still calm and composed, raised the duck in his hand, and began to bleed.
Even if these wolves don't come in today, they have to come in!
They can't wait until tomorrow.
The duck quacked in pain, and the bright red liquid slid down Li Mu's hand, instantly staining the snow-white ground red, and the fishy-sweet breath slowly spread in the cold night.
The disgusting smell in their nostrils became a fatal temptation to the noses of the hungry wolves.
As soon as the blood fell to the ground, the bloody aura dispersed in the night sky. All the wolves who were still calm immediately became agitated, and even the wolf king who had been calm stood up.
The snorts of those wolves came from the darkness, and several anxious ones had already taken two tentative steps forward, but they backed away only because the wolf king next to them roared from their throats.
"Quack..." Li Mu threw the ducks in his hands to the ground, and they flapped their wings and hid to the side with injuries on their bodies. The smell of blood in the air was also more intense because of their movements.
"Aww..." A wolf howl broke the tranquility of the night.
The next moment, nearly ten or so wolves couldn't bear it anymore, turned into black shadows, and rushed towards Li Mu's direction.
At the same time, Li Mu raised the long knife in his hand, and the sound of the sword piercing the sky also sounded.
After two sounds of "Instigation, Instigation", the howling of wolves came from the snow.
Those wailing and the smell of blood completely stimulated all the wolves, even the wolf king couldn't calm down anymore, and rushed towards Li Mu instinctively.
The wolves were very fast, and they rushed to the fenced yard almost instantly, but at the same time they landed, the ground suddenly emptied, and the originally flat white snow collapsed, revealing many sharp spears sticking upside down.
"Oh..." Several of the wolves that jumped in further fell into the trap.They fluttered and tried to jump up, but they had no strength left. The sharp spears pierced their bodies, causing them to lose their strength quickly.
Seeing this scene, the other wolves immediately changed their jumping footholds. Except for one that slipped down, almost all of them landed safely where there was no trap.
Li Mu turned his back to the entrance of the cave, drew a sword flower with the long knife in his hand, and stared coldly at the pack of wolves that were slowly walking towards him in front of him.
Zhong Xiuyuan had already walked out of the cave. He was standing close to the entrance of the cave. The bow in his hand was fully drawn, and the tip of the arrow pointed directly at the position next to Li Mu.
The air stood still for a moment, and the next moment, Li Mu suddenly rolled backwards, and at the same time he yelled, "Let go!"
His movement was sudden. After the wolves were stunned for a moment, they rushed forward and tried to pounce on Li Mu, but at the moment they gathered forward, a black shadow suddenly pressed down!
The wooden fence full of wooden stakes and spears hanging above the fence outside the cave was overwhelmingly crushed, instantly crushing the large open space in front of Li Mu's feet to death.
This was the biggest trap that Li Mu had set up before, and this time it really caught a lot of wolves, and nearly seven or eight wolves failed to escape, and were nailed down alive by those wooden stakes.
All of a sudden, the smell of blood and the sound of wailing spread in the night, making the originally quiet night even more turbulent.
After Zhong Xiuyuan released two arrows, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand to grab Li Mu who was lying on the ground, and pulled him up from the ground with a strong tug.
Without saying a word, Li Mu immediately cooperated with his movements tacitly, exerting force on his waist, and at the same time the whole mermaid jumped up and kicked the wolf that was rushing towards him by Zhong Xiuyuan's hand, and kicked the wolf away.
