Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 310 A sudden encounter with wolves

Xia Yuhong and her younger sister fired several times, but unfortunately they couldn't shoot very far upwards. In addition, their accuracy was average, so the crossbow arrows clanged against the stone wall and then fell down.

The two of them picked up the crossbow arrows dejectedly and stared helplessly at the two green sheep. When they saw the two brothers approaching, they quickly asked.

"Xiao Feng, what is this thing? Why is it so powerful? You can't even get up."

"This thing is called Qingyang, also called goral. It is extremely rare in the suburbs of Beijing. It is more common in XZ, Northeast and Southern Yunnan, but it is delicious."

As soon as he said it was delicious, the little girl became interested and pointed at the two green sheep that had no way to get in.

"Brother, please think of a way. They can't go away, but it's too far to shoot. How can we catch them..."

Zhu Xuefeng also frowned. Even if he shot it at this distance, he would have no strength to hurt it. When he saw the small rocks under the stone wall, he had an idea. He was strong enough and could definitely throw them.

"Find me some rocks, just this big, not too big or too small."

Zhu Xuefeng raised a fist-sized stone in his hand and gestured. The three of them immediately understood, but the distance was too far, could it really be done?

Zhu Xuefeng started throwing stones at the stone wall above. This thing was even more inaccurate than shooting. He finally hit Qingyang, and he could hear the banging sound on Qingyang's body.

It's a pity that since Qingyang can climb such a cliff, his mental quality is not generally strong. He would rather bear the impact of stones silently than move at all.

There was no scene at all of Zhu Xuefeng's imagination of falling down in panic after being hit. He was just slightly changing places on the cliff uneasily.

"Xiao Feng, these two green sheep are really extraordinary. How about we climb up there and push the rocks down so that they can't escape."

Zhu Xuefeng shook his head, "The method is good, but we can't separate. There are no dangers in this mountain. If we all went up, they would have escaped long ago."

The three of them heard the same thing. They had no choice but to see and catch, and they were all a little discouraged. Only Zhu Xuefeng was still observing carefully. After a long time, he picked up a few stones again, lucked out, and threw them out.

It may have been due to multiple throws, but the accuracy point rose a little, and the fist-sized stone hit the front hoof of a green sheep behind. This was the supporting foot Zhu Xuefeng found. The huge force caused the front hoof to suddenly loosen, and the green sheep had no time to adjust its center of gravity. , fell down all of a sudden.

"Yeah, brother is so awesome." The younger sister happily high-fived Xia Yuhong in celebration.

"Come again, come again, smash the other one down like this..." The younger sister jumped and cheered, the second brother hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the green sheep with a broken leg, and Xia Yuhong also ran over excitedly.

"Get out of the way, there's another one, be careful of rocks falling..."

The remaining one had no main stress points and was standing firmly on all three legs. It seemed that he couldn't use the same method. Zhu Xuefeng had to do the next best thing and hit the Qingyang's head as much as possible.

This thing is a labor of strength, and it took a long time before I was lucky enough to hit Qingyang's head. Qingyang was frightened and jumped forward, but missed the target and fell down as expected.

"Brother is so awesome." The younger sister flattered him happily. Xia Yuhong took out her handkerchief and gently wiped Zhu Xuefeng's sweat beads while saying with a smile.

"I didn't expect that this stupid trick could be used by a fool, and it would be useful. That's fine."

"Are you worse than a fool? If you dare to laugh at me, let's see how I deal with it."

He was about to pounce and take action. Xia Yuhong pointed at her younger siblings who were happily harvesting the green sheep, so Zhu Xuefeng had no choice but to stop.

Zhu Xuefeng rubbed his aching right arm. Okay, the harvest is good this time. We can go back home. Fortunately, we didn't encounter a pack of wolves.

"Brother, this one just fell to death. What should I do?"

The second child yelled from a distance under the cliff, and Zhu Xuefeng also shouted back.

"What else can we do? Of course we need to bleed immediately."

Zhu Xuesong was just waiting for his brother's words. He waved the sword for a long time, trying to clear the way. He could finally make the sword see blood, even if he fell to death.

"okay."

The second brother started excitedly, and Xia Yuhong also ran over, and she and her younger sister also came to Qingyang's side, "You have to cut the neck first, here is the big blood vessel!"

The three stooges started working together, and the three machetes worked together, creating a mess.

Zhu Xuefeng just stood aside vigilantly. The smell of blood had attracted wolves last time, so he couldn't be careless this time. He took out a hemp rope from his backpack and threw it over.

"Hang it up in a while, put it down faster!"

Fortunately, all the blood was drained and no wolves were seen. Zhu Xuefeng also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was not afraid, it would still be troublesome to be surrounded by wolves.

"Xiaohong, little sister, we have gained a lot today. Why don't we go inside and follow the way we came here to see if we have a chance to catch a few pheasants."

Xia Yuhong and her younger sister looked at the green sheep and then at the pheasant tied on one side. They looked at each other and nodded. The two of them had no sense of participation. It was more interesting to rely on luck to catch the pheasants.

"Come on, let's try again. We just caught two. It's too few. There are twenty or thirty running away. I can definitely shoot a few more. Let's go."

When Xia Yuhong came to the mountains, she also completely let herself go. Now she looked impatient, raised the crossbow in her hand, and said to her little sister.

"It depends on the abilities of both of us. Let your big brother get this big guy down the mountain. Haha, he will be exhausted."

The green sheep were not too heavy, each weighing about seventy or eighty kilograms. Zhu Xuefeng picked them up easily and effortlessly.

The second child was still in front holding a large machete to clear the way. Two small machetes were hung on the waists of the two girls respectively. Zhu Xuefeng followed behind with a spear in one hand as a crutch.

Maybe it was because they had brought Xia Yuhong with them. They were so lucky along the way. The two girls shot three pheasants again. They were so satisfied that the four of them happily prepared to go down the mountain.

Suddenly, I saw the second one raising his hand in front, signaling the team to stop. A few people came over and took a look. They were really lucky. Two deer were drinking water by the small stream at the corner in front.

These are great things. Deer antlers, deer blood, venison, deer skin, deer sinews, and deer whip are all treasures. Last year, I heard from Uncle Niu that there were deer in the mountains, but I never had the chance to see them. Today, I was really surprised. You can even encounter such good things, so don’t miss it.

"So, as long as I'm here, your hunting luck will be good." Xia Yuhong looked at Zhu Xuefeng with a smile.

Zhu Xuefeng nodded. He didn't believe it at first, but that's the fact. It doesn't matter if he doesn't believe it.

The deer was very vigilant and extremely responsive, making it difficult to get close at all. What to do? Zhu Xuefeng gently put down the green sheep and thought of a way. He couldn't just take out the firearm directly from the space.

After carefully observing the wind direction, he took the hand crossbow from his sister's hand. He still had to use it. He had to make a sneak attack. In the mountains, Zhu Xuefeng had no confidence that he could outrun the deer. Suddenly, the stag with long antlers raised its head and looked around. Zhu Xuefeng knew that it was not too late. According to the deer's habits, it was probably going to run away, so he quickly warned him.

"Second brother, take care of your sister and your sister Xia. I'll go try."

Leaving quickly, they bent over and ran to the downwind. The two deer also quickly got up and looked around again. Although they found nothing, they lowered their heads to drink water again, but they were obviously more alert and raised their heads from time to time.

Zhu Xuefeng touched the lower wind outlet, which was still more than thirty meters away and out of reach. The two deer seemed to notice it and stopped drinking water. They got up and headed downwards by mistake, but they were getting closer and closer to Zhu Xuefeng's ambush. Zhu Xuefeng held his breath and aimed carefully.

It was close, it was close again, and it was within the shooting range. Zhu Xuefeng took aim carefully and waited to get closer. Unfortunately, the deer was too vigilant and seemed to feel the danger. It stopped and stopped getting closer.

After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and headed in the opposite direction. There were woods over there, so he had no choice but to fire the crossbow. Fortunately, his accuracy was good, and with a loud bang, the crossbow pierced the stag's neck.

Unfortunately, it was too far away. Although the stag was injured, it was not serious. He immediately accelerated away and fled towards the woods.

Zhu Xuefeng stood up regretfully. There was no way he could catch up. Even if he were to catch up with the fleeing deer on two legs in the mountains, it would be a complete joke.

Regretfully watching the two deer plunge into the woods, they suddenly discovered an accident and quickly chased after them with their guns in hand.

It turned out that it was another stroke of luck. The stag's antlers were actually on the run, and because they had not chosen the right path, they got caught on branches and vines. This was a God-given opportunity.

The stag struggled wildly, but unfortunately the antlers were too strong, and the tree branches and rattan were also extremely tough. It was unable to break free for a while, and Zhu Xuefeng fell down very quickly.

One shot knocked the stag unconscious. This thing was too big, weighing 140 to 50 pounds. Anyway, the three of them couldn't see it. They easily put it into the space, and the other deer had already disappeared.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yuhong was really the invincible lucky star for hunting. It was really strange. Zhu Xuefeng was still marveling when he suddenly heard exclamations and howls of wolves coming from far away.

Damn it, they really met the wolf as soon as they separated. Zhu Xuefeng's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he quickly returned with the gun in hand, shouting at the same time.

"Xue Song, hold on, just watch. I'll be here right away. Don't be impulsive..."

These few hundred meters were as long as several kilometers. When Zhu Xuefeng arrived anxiously, he let out a long breath. Fortunately, there was only one wolf staring at the three of them from a distance. Although the three of them were nervous, they were not nervous. Losing sense of proportion.

They were all back to back, holding machetes in their hands. They were on guard, wary of other wolves lurking. Zhu Xuefeng let out a long breath.

"Xiao Feng, you're back. A wolf jumped out just now, which scared us."

Xia Yuhong's face was pale, and the machete in her hand was still shaking. She had never practiced anything and had no foundation at all. She was pretty good now that she could stand.

"Brother, that wolf is right there. The others are hiding somewhere. I vaguely noticed that there should be more than one."

The younger sister was also very nervous. Although she had some courage with a machete in her hand, she obviously lacked confidence.

Zhu Xuefeng observed it. The second child was probably frightened and made a mistake in judgment. There were no other wild wolves nearby.

"You guys stay on guard while I take care of it first. The other wolves will probably come soon."

Originally, he wanted his younger brothers and sisters to climb up the tree, but Xia Yuhong probably couldn't climb up, so he had to resort to tricks. Zhu Xuefeng pounced directly on the wild wolf, but the wild wolf was also extremely cunning and quickly fled backwards, howling from time to time.

Zhu Xuefeng did not dare to go too far away, so he had to stop the pursuit, quickly returned, picked up the green sheep, and told the three of them to retreat quickly. The wolf was obviously calling for its companions. If a group came, it would be bad.

"Xue Song is on the way, my little sister is following. I'm at the rear. Everyone, move quickly!"

Zhu Xuefeng commanded loudly, and the four people quickly evacuated. From the woods behind them, wolves howled one after another. The distance was getting closer and closer!

It seemed that there was no way to escape safely down the mountain. Zhu Xuefeng's mind was racing. If they were surrounded, his younger siblings and Xia Yuhong would probably be injured. After all, he was only one person, so it would be difficult to take care of them all.

By the way, the cave from last time was not too far away now. Zhu Xuefeng pointed to the southwest. That was the cave from last time. It would be much safer this way.

"Sedar, go to the southwest direction. Don't go down the mountain yet. There is a cave there. Hide first. It will be troublesome for the wolves to surround you. If you stay in the cave, we can defeat them one by one."

Hearing that there was a cave not far away, a few people became more energetic and moved faster. In a short while, they were less than 200 meters away, and they could see the cave in the distance. Although it was dilapidated, this was hope.

"Xiao Feng, if you throw away the prey, will the wolves eat the prey and let us go?"

Listening to the constant howling, Xia Yuhong reminded him quickly when he saw that Zhu Xuefeng was still carrying the two green sheep.

Zhu Xuefeng didn't know if the wolves would let him go, but with the cave in sight, there was no reason to give up.

"Hold on a little longer and we'll be there soon."

Seeing the eldest brother speaking, the younger brother and sister had no objection, but the younger sister took the opportunity to retrieve her crossbow. It was getting closer, even closer, and she could no longer see a hundred meters. If she walked a few dozen meters, she could pass through the woods and enter. An open area.

"Stop!"

Zhu Xuefeng shouted, and the four of them stopped at the same time, only to see two wild wolves that had come around and lurked in front of Zhu Xuesong.

Wolves also appeared on the left and right sides of the team. The movement behind Zhu Xuefeng was even greater. They were surrounded without realizing it. This pack of wolves was really difficult to deal with.

"Everyone, come closer and don't show any flaws."

"Brother, how about I try throwing a pheasant."

The little girl was a little unwilling to give up. She was just a short distance away from entering the hole. If the wild wolf went to eat the pheasant, would she have a chance to escape?

"Don't try, it's useless, there are too many wolves."

Zhu Xuefeng has silently counted them. There are nine in total, which is much more than the last time he encountered them. At this time, he turned his back to the wolves and ran away, just to deliver food to the wolves.

Face-to-face defense was too difficult, so Zhu Xuefeng decided that if there was an irresistible danger, he would draw his gun regardless. Even if the gunfire attracted militiamen, it would be better than getting his younger siblings and Xia Yuhong injured.

"Move slowly towards the entrance of the cave. Don't lose touch. Always be prepared. Don't be afraid. Big brother is here. Xiaohong, just follow me. Don't run away. I will protect you."

"Remember, attack the wolf's legs and waist, and avoid the head. The wolf will have weak legs and tofu waist."
