Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 126 Reinforcements Arrive

When Qinglong saw the wolf rushing towards him, he immediately rushed forward. The two dogs, Dahua and Heibao, also did not retreat and rushed towards the wolf.

Three dogs and one wolf started fighting in an instant.

At this time, Qu Shaoyang switched positions with Tiezhu and shot at the wolf behind him.

After a few gunshots, two more wolves fell to the ground.

However, at this time, the wolf king also gathered a large number of wolves and surrounded them.

When Qu Shaoyang saw the number of wolves in the pack, his scalp tingled, as if the bullets he brought were not enough.

Now that things have come to this, there is no way back and we can only fight hard.

Qu Shaoyang gritted his teeth and wanted to kill the wolf king first, but the wolf king was very cunning and was far away, out of range.

There was no other choice, Qu Shaoyang could only shoot the other wolves first.

After a few more gunshots, the gun was out of bullets, and Qu Shaoyang had to stop and reload bullets from the bullet port next to it.

Those wolves were very good at finding opportunities, and they took advantage of this opportunity to rush forward quickly.

When Xingjia saw that things were not going well, he immediately opened fire.

Fortunately, when Qu Shaoyang fired the gun just now, Xing Jia took the opportunity to load the gun, which bought Qu Shaoyang some time.

However, the musket used by the Xing family had a short range and insufficient lethality, so this shot had almost no effect.

The wolves were gathering in larger and larger numbers, getting closer and closer to Qu Shaoyang and his companions.

"Qinglong, come back, come back soon."

Qu Shaoyang discovered that the wolf surrounded by three dogs was deliberately running back, trying to lure Qinglong and the others over.

If Qinglong and the others were fooled and really followed them, they would soon be surrounded by the wolves and would be in great danger.

Fortunately, Gou Zi was obedient and was stopped by Qu Shaoyang in time.

However, the situation was very unfavorable at the moment. If they continued to fight for a while, Qu Shaoyang might not have enough bullets.

At this moment, two gunshots were suddenly heard from the foot of the mountain.

Qu Shaoyang was stunned, and suddenly remembered that today was the day when his master would bring people to take over. Could it be that his master had come with people?
Even if it wasn't the master, it was other hunters. With help, they could get away.

"Don't be afraid, it should be the old boss who brought people here. Let's retreat slowly and shoot when we get the chance.

Xingjia, remember, don't shoot too early, or you won't be able to hit the wolf."

The sudden gunshots also cheered up Xingjia and Tiezhu.

Tiezhu didn't know whether he was frightened silly or he was no longer afraid after what he had experienced. At any rate, his hands and legs stopped shaking and he just followed Qu Shaoyang and Xingjia closely, not leaving their side for a moment.

Qu Shaoyang fired again and killed two more wolves. At this time, Liu Dongshan's shouting came from the foot of the mountain.

"Shaoyang, is that you? What happened on the mountain?" He shouted, and two more shots were fired.

Qu Shaoyang thought to himself, my Master, please don’t waste your bullets, there is a group of wolves here.

"Master, there are wolves here." Qu Shaoyang could only shout loudly.

Before Qu Shaoyang could finish his words, he heard a few barking sounds of dogs, and Blue Wolf, along with Da Huang and Er Hui, rushed over first.

As soon as Qinglong saw Qinglang and the others arriving, he immediately showed his strength and started barking towards the mountain.

The sudden appearance of reinforcements surprised the wolves on the opposite side.

The wolf king acted promptly, raised his head and howled a few times, and the other wolves quickly retreated, running a long distance in an instant.

The wolves left, and Qu Shaoyang and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, Liu Dongshan led Xingye and Jiang Chunfu and ran over from a distance.

"Shaoyang, are you guys okay? I just heard a wolf howling. What's going on? Did you encounter a wolf?" Liu Dongshan came closer and asked anxiously.

"Yes, we met a pack of wolves for no apparent reason. If you, Master, hadn't arrived in time, the three of us would have been in danger today. There were too many wolves, and I didn't have enough bullets."

They were just here to set traps and snares, so fifty rounds of bullets would have been enough. Who could have thought they would encounter wolves?

Liu Dongshan asked carefully about what happened, then frowned, "Did you set traps on the hillside?"

"Yeah, I set some traps when I came up that day." Qu Shaoyang nodded. He had set more than ten traps on it.

"I think a wolf was trapped. According to what you said, it should be the wolf king's wife, a pregnant female wolf."

Liu Dongshan was experienced and guessed immediately that only something happened to the wolf king's wife that could alarm the entire wolf pack.

"Master, are you saying that the Wolf King just did this to stop us from going up the hillside?"

Qu Shaoyang also understood that the Wolf King had fought just now in order to save his wife.

"It's almost certain. If you don't believe me, let's go up and take a look."

Liu Dongshan firmly believes that his judgment is absolutely correct.

Just take a look, what are you afraid of?
Qu Shaoyang immediately asked Xing Jia Xingye to wait there with Tie Zhu and Jiang Chunfu, while he and Liu Dongshan took the dog to the top of the hill to take a look.

The master and his disciple both used quick guns, and both had some skills. As long as they were not implicated by others, they would be able to retreat safely even if they encountered wolves again.

In this way, the master and the disciple went up the hillside with guns in hand. When they got to the hillside, they saw wolf footprints all over the ground.

Next to a big rock, Qu Shaoyang found a wolf's paw, a bloody iron clamp, and bloodstains on the snow.

"Shit, this wolf bit off its own leg and ran away."

As soon as Qu Shaoyang saw the situation on the ground, he immediately judged that it was probably the wolf itself that bit off the leg, or the wolf king.

Anyway, the trapped wolf would rather break a leg than run away.

"This thing is really cruel. It can bite off your legs, but you still want to run."

Qu Shaoyang couldn't help but sigh, wolves are really cruel and smart, and very difficult to deal with.

"Master, I'm afraid we can't continue this mountain farm. We have offended these wolves, and we haven't been able to kill them all. I'm afraid they will keep their eyes on this place."

Wolves have a particularly strong desire for revenge. After suffering such a great loss this time, the wolf king will definitely not let it go. It will be dangerous for him to go up the mountain again in the future.

Liu Dongshan nodded and sighed, "I'm really reluctant to leave. This place is great and has produced a lot of things."

After this piece of mountain land was occupied, a lot of things were discovered.

Not to mention pheasants and rabbits, we also harvested roe deer, deer, raccoon dogs, greyhounds, musk deer and sables. It's a pity to just throw them away.

"It's alright. In the future, the worst that can happen is that we two can bring our people up here together. We can take all six dogs with us, and bring some more bullets for our sons.

When you have the chance next summer, go to Yingkou to buy two more guns and bring back more bullets.

I just don't believe it. No matter how many wolves there are, we can't kill them all." Liu Dongshan glanced at his apprentice, and a sense of heroism rose in his heart.

With the abilities of this master and disciple, they have nothing to fear when a wolf comes.

In the future, when we have more guns, we may be able to wipe out the wolf's den directly one day, so we don't have to worry all the time.

When Qu Shaoyang heard this, he became happy, "Yes, Master is right, what are we afraid of? Only wolves are afraid of humans, how can we be afraid of them?"
