Three Kingdoms, you are so cute

Chapter 8 Fighting the Wolf

The footsteps of Zhao's mother and daughter were not very fast for Lu Nan, and they caught up with them within a few steps out of the courtyard.The four of them walked quickly into the village together.

Lu Nan held Tang Ying tightly and kept stepping. He just frowned and asked, "Aunt Zhao, is this direction the entrance of the village?"

Mrs. Liu was already panting after walking these few steps, so it was Zhao Yu who replied, "Yes. Something must have happened, otherwise Uncle Jiao wouldn't have sounded the warning gong at will."

"But why is it at the entrance of the village?"

Zhao Yu paused: Yes, why?Then continue to walk towards the entrance of the village.No matter what the reason is, as a member of Jiaojia Village, you cannot hear the sound of the gong and refuse to hear it and go to gather.

Going all the way to the entrance of the village, there are gradually more and more men, women, old and young traveling together.Obviously, most of the villagers came out in a hurry.No one knew the reason for the warning sound.

As Zhao's mother and daughter said, there are only a dozen households in Jiaojia Village, so the whole village is very small.The entrance of the village is only a few hundred meters away from the innermost residents of the village. Lu Nan walked quickly with a group of people and arrived at the head of the village in less than a while. He saw a few people standing in a small, slightly wider place, watching this side.

The people in the village gathered together, and after a short rest, they began to talk among each other, and the voices became louder and louder.

The uncle, who held a gong in one hand and a wooden hammer in the other, couldn't help frowning, and suddenly moved his hands—clang!Another sound.Everyone fell silent suddenly, and looked at the uncle with his hair in a bun.

"Uncle Jiao, it is said that our Jiaojia Village has not sounded a warning sound for nearly a hundred years. Why did you strike the warning gong today?" A young man asked in a deep voice among the crowd.

Uncle Jiao is obviously the corporal leader of this Jiaojia Village. He bent down to put down the gong, then straightened up with a serious expression on his face: "I'm sorry, folks, our Jiaojia Village is in great trouble!"

The villagers were like a frying pan, and the buzzing sound was noisy and chaotic.Lu Nan frowned, with a worried look on his face.Just staying for a while, did you really run into trouble?I'm fine, if something happens to Ah Ying...

"Just before a cup of tea, my A Yuan found the body of a wolf cub at the head of the village..." Uncle Jiao frowned. "But our village has always had rules. Hunting is always on a set day. Many people go together. Today's matter is really strange."

Wolves are known to be pack animals, and based on what is known about them, the animals are very vindictive and family-minded compared to other animals.The body of the little wolf cub appeared at the head of Jiaojia Village. First of all, no matter whether it was killed by the villagers or not, we need to be careful of the wolves' revenge recently.And if the little wolf was really not killed by the villagers, then who would deliberately frame such a small mountain village in the deep mountains and old forests?What are your intentions?is it necessary?

It's still early in the morning...

Uncle Jiao glanced at everyone, and saw Lu Nan and Tang Ying who was being pulled by her all the time: "Miss Zhao, these two young masters are not from the village, right?"

The crowd suddenly stopped discussing and followed Uncle Jiao's gaze.Zhao Yu met Uncle Jiao's eyes, and replied crisply: "Uncle Jiao is right. Mr. Guan and Mr. Tang passed by the village last night. They saw that it was too late to hurry, so they stayed at my house."

Immediately, the villagers looked suspiciously at Lu Nan and Tang Ying, and Uncle Jiao also looked at Lu Nan thoughtfully.

The young man who had been standing next to Uncle Jiao from just now suddenly asked, "Ah Yu, these two little brothers have been with you and your mother just now, and they haven't come out so early in the morning?"

Lu Nan was taken aback for a moment, and looked away from the man who was speaking, and looked at Zhao Yu beside him.Her fair cheeks were slightly flushed, she was not as graceful as before, she just nodded without looking at the speaker.

The young man was very well-groomed. He tilted his head to Uncle Jiao and said, "Father, when I found the body of the little wolf, it was still warm. It was early in the morning. When I came out, I didn't meet any villagers coming back. Let's go. The wolf should not be killed by people in our village."

Uncle Jiao nodded slightly, and his face became more sad: "So, everyone needs to pay attention, and we must strengthen our vigilance in the next few days. Don't go out of the village, lest the wolves seek revenge and hurt people. I will as soon as possible Find out who caused the trouble, and you need to think about how to solve this matter... Sigh. You are all gone, what to do, as long as you don’t leave the village." He specifically instructed Zhao Yu , "Miss Zhao, this young master who is borrowing from your family, don't leave for the time being. It is more than ten miles away from the village to Daxian. I am afraid that the wolves will be wandering around the village these days. If people go out alone, I am afraid it will hurt people.”

Zhao Yu nodded, and suddenly looked up very quickly at the man next to Uncle Jiao who had just asked her a question, then pulled Shi Liu back and turned around.

Lu Nan also glanced at him, and saw that Uncle Jiao was saying to him, "Ah Yuan, let's go back too."

She raised her eyebrows, then smiled, took Tang Ying's hand and walked back to the village with the villagers.

***

The danger was not eliminated because of Uncle Jiao's gathering announcement, and it didn't even arrive at night.The pack of wolves actually surrounded the entrance of the village in less than a cup of tea after Lu Nan and the others returned to Aunt Zhao's house. They seemed to be out of control collectively. In the cool morning, before the sun shone on the village, they all came out ——

It is said that wolves are usually in groups of seven or eight, but when Lu Nan ran to the entrance of the village, he saw that there were wolves almost everywhere, standing side by side in a fan shape at the entrance of the village.The wolves, big and small, with their ears straightened up, their backs erected, and their whole body lying down, bared their fangs. They all looked at Jiaojia Village with hostile eyes, and growled from time to time.

Uncle Jiao and his son Jiao Yuan frowned, looking at the dozens of wolves.Why is this so?

Lu Nan also looked at the wolves with a frown. She was thinking hard about what to do so that they would not hurt the villagers.If everyone rushes up with sticks like this, I'm afraid someone will get hurt.

Suddenly, a small voice came from my ear——

"Sister, the appearance of this pack of wolves is very strange."

Lu Nan was taken aback, then lowered her head, seeing Tang Ying standing beside her at some point.She raised her head and looked at herself, her small and fair face was full of seriousness.

"Weird? What do you mean?" Lu Nan blinked and asked puzzledly.

"It's a bit inexplicable that the corpse of the little wolf cub appeared at the entrance of the village just now. At this time, the wolves are mostly looking for revenge." Tang Ying explained her elder sister's confusion softly. She paused and continued, "But the little wolf was not killed by the villagers. Why did the corpse appear at the entrance of the village? Besides, the wolves seeking revenge came too fast. Maybe the Jiao family village made a strong enemy at some point? It was clearly done by someone with a heart. Yes, I want to borrow a knife to kill someone."

Lu Nan nodded and looked at Tang Ying full of expectation: "No matter how they appear, we must first think about how to make the villagers safe. Little girl, you are so smart, you must know what to do, right?"

Tang Ying shook her head lightly, and said slowly, "Sister, don't you understand? As long as you know how these wolves appear, you can naturally let them retreat the same way."

"This little brother is so smart!" Uncle Jiao looked at Tang Ying with bright eyes, and walked towards her quickly.

Tang Ying looked at Uncle Jiao who was approaching, frowned slightly, and couldn't help tightening Lu Nan's hand, and turned her body in Lu Nan's direction without a trace.

Seeing that Tang Ying was clearly resisting, Lu Nan took a step forward without thinking twice, completely hiding her behind her.She frowned and looked at Uncle Jiao: "Uncle Jiao, the most important thing for us now is to get the wolves back into the forest..."

"As this little brother said just now, if we can find out the reason, we can make the wolves retreat without any effort."

Lu Nan's face was cold, and there was a trace of anger in his words: "Yes, I'm not smart enough to think of so much. But now that the wolves are close at hand, what is the most urgent thing at the moment! If you frame people in Jiaojia Village Outside the village, let people go out to look for it now, not to mention whether you can go out, even if you find it, will it be too late?"

The head of the Jiao Family Village, who was over half a century old, was taken aback for a moment, and a look of shame appeared on his wrinkled face: "I just think about how to protect—"

"Get out of the way!" Lu Nan yelled, holding a chopping knife in his right hand and passing Uncle Jiao.

Tang Ying has been paying attention to the wolves, and she can clearly see that they finally moved - a ferocious wolf roared, bravely jumped up towards the place full of villagers, and pounced on it. The wolves are all about to move.

The villagers suddenly panicked. Although a few people were eager to try with axes and machetes, more people wanted to flee to the village.

Lu Nan faced the wolf that was rushing forward, and swung the hatchet in his right hand.One of the gray wolf's front paws came towards her chest, she turned slightly sideways, the sharp claws scratched her clothes.The other front paw of the wolf grabbed her left arm, and there was a sound of "Kara Kala", the left sleeve was scratched along the way, and a bloodstain immediately appeared on the back of the left hand.

At this moment, Lu Nan's machete in his right hand slashed fiercely on the wolf's neck. It is said that with Lu Nan's strength, she should have chopped off the wolf's head.But only heard the howl of the wolf "嗤——!", and fell to the ground, scarlet blood flowed from the neck and dripped on the ground.It was still upright, with its back arched high, panting fiercely, looking fiercely at Lu Nan who was two steps away, and slowly moved its limbs to retreat into the pack of wolves behind.

Lu Nan paused, then frowned and retreated to Tang Ying's side.

Tang Ying immediately tiptoed to look at her left arm, and blood was already flowing down her left hand drop by drop.

When Lu Nan and the wolf were fighting just now, the villagers were shouting loudly.When they saw the wolf back to its original position, the other wolves didn't dare to move any more, they all whispered, looking at Lu Nan from time to time with surprise, admiration and admiration in their eyes.

Lu Nan glanced at Jiao Yuan who was standing beside Uncle Jiao, and said helplessly, "Brother Jiao, can you help me find a sharper knife to use? If it wasn't for the chopping knife in my hand just now, it would be too sharp." blunt, I should be able to kill that wolf." She glanced at the people who were still whispering and said in a low voice, "Uncle Jiao, tell everyone to go home and get some firewood, wolves are afraid of fire Yes. The firewood is here to build a line of defense to prevent the pack of wolves from rushing up together. If they all come up one at a time like just now, we should not have to worry about anyone being injured by wolves."

"That's very good." Uncle Jiao nodded in agreement, and turned to find someone to arrange the lighting.

Tang Ying pursed her lips, helped Lu Nan bandage the wound on her arm, and stood quietly.As she listened to the conversation between the two people next to her, a smile slowly appeared on Xiuya's face.

"Uh, Ah Ying, what about Zhao Yu and Aunt Zhao?" Lu Nan just remembered to ask.

Tang Ying smiled shallowly: "Sister, this place is too dangerous, women and children in the village don't come here."

"Are they at home?" Lu Nan seemed surprised.

Tang Ying sighed slightly from the bottom of her heart after looking at the pack of wolves staring at them a few steps away, and at the villagers not far away with sticks, machetes and hoes.Then she seriously looked up at Lu Nan beside her, with a slight smile still in her clear pupils, she reminded in a low voice: "Sister, the wolves haven't retreated yet."

Lu Nan was taken aback, smiled embarrassedly, touched his nose: "Oh, I listened to you, I forgot that the wolf hasn't left yet."

"What should I do next?"

"Let's watch here first, and wait for the villagers to build a fire line to prevent the wolves from hurting people, then we will go to the borrower you mentioned." Lu Nan looked at the hostile wolves and spoke clearly. Said.

Tang Ying nodded and said nothing.
