Chapter 266 The wolves descend from the mountain (2)
Liu Jingxue dragged the sled and used her spiritual power to pull the cowshed people. After walking a distance to the village, she found that she was only 20 meters away from the nearest house. She then shouted,
"Everyone hurry up and get up, the wolves are coming down the mountain."
She did not forget to use her spiritual power to make her voice louder and spread further.
In the silent night, her voice was like a bolt of thunder, waking many people from their dreams.
After Liu Jingxue shouted once, she did not stop and continued to shout.
The person who was woken up by her, after hearing clearly what she said, was so scared that he sat up from the bed and pushed the person next to him to wake up.
"Hurry up, the wolves are coming down the mountain."
Liu Jingxue walked all the way to the village, shouting loudly all the way. The four people sitting on the sled also did not rest and kept shouting loudly.
More and more villagers were awakened by the shouting.
Someone didn't even bother to put on his clothes and came out to ask loudly, "Who's outside? Have you confirmed that the wolves are coming to the village?"
“I’m Liu Jingxue, and the wolves came down the mountain from the end of the village.
We can already hear the howling of wolves, and they will probably enter the village soon."
"Everyone go back and put on your clothes, and go to the village," someone called out.
"Liu Zhiqing, please move forward quickly and inform the others."
"Okay." Liu Jingxue agreed quickly. "When encountering this kind of situation, where do the villagers usually gather?"
Someone answered, "Let's go to the sunbathing area.
There was an empty granary there, as well as bean stalks and firewood, which could be used for making a fire.
The place is big and can accommodate so many people.”
Liu Jingxue then dragged the sled inside again, shouting as she walked.
When passing the road to Shaiba, Liu Weihua stopped Liu Jingxue and asked her to go ahead to inform others. He got off the sled and dragged the other three people towards Shaiba.
Liu Jingxue walked and shouted along the way, and at the same time used her spiritual sense to investigate and confirm that someone in the homes of the villagers she passed by had been awakened and heard her voice.
When we passed by the captain's house, the captain had already put on his clothes and came out.
When he saw them, he asked, "Xiaoxue, are you sure the wolves have gone down the mountain?"
Liu Jingxue had scanned with her spiritual sense before and saw that the wolf had reached the foot of the mountain, so she confirmed, "It has already come down and is heading towards the cowshed and my home."
"Those people in the cowshed?" the captain asked anxiously.
Although he knew that Liu Jingxue would not ignore the people in the cowshed, the captain still asked.
"Don't worry, Captain. I have already woken them up. They have gone to the dam to dry the sun."
The captain breathed a sigh of relief and arranged, "Xiaoxue, you are good at fighting, take the weapons, take the strong laborers who have already woken up, light the torches, and go over there to resist the wolves and buy time for the villagers.
For those who have not been notified yet, I will send people with gongs to notify them."
"Okay, Captain."
The captain shouted into the courtyard, "Jianshe, Jianguo, Zhisheng, are you all ready?"
"Dad, we're fine."
"Grandpa, I'm fine too."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jianshe, Zhang Jianguo, and Zhang Zhisheng came out.
“Zhisheng, take the gong and go to the village entrance to announce the news to each household.
Let the old men, women, and children go to dry the dam, and the strong laborers light torches, take up weapons, and go to the end of the village to resist the wolves. Don't let them enter the village."
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll go right away." Zhang Zhisheng said, then turned back to the house to get the gong.
“Jianshe, Jianguo, follow Xiaoxue to the end of the village.
Ask the strong laborers to go with you, and let the others go to dry the dam."
Liu Jingxue followed Zhang Jianshe and Zhang Jianguo to the end of the village, and kept calling for strong laborers to join them along the way.
They gathered about thirty or forty people along the way.
When they arrived at the end of the village with torches and weapons in hand, they saw a pack of wolves approaching the cowshed from afar.
"Oh my goodness, there are probably more than twenty wolves here."
"They all look like adult wolves, no pups."
“It seems that this pack of wolves is quite large in number, and they have built a base on the mountain not far from the village.
Otherwise, they would not feel comfortable leaving all the wolf cubs at home." Uncle Ji frowned.
Uncle Ji had never considered the possibility that there was not a single wolf cub in this wolf pack.
Ji Shihu added, "They must have left a lot of adult wolves on the mountain to protect the young ones."
"A wolf pack of this size would be able to run wild in the mountains. Even tigers and bears wouldn't dare to provoke them.
How could a wolf pack of this size be short of food?"
“It is precisely because of the large scale that there is a greater shortage of food.
They need a lot to eat.”
Liu Jingxue scanned the number with her spiritual sense, "Twenty-one in total.
Uncle Ji, what should we do? "
Uncle Ji looked at Liu Jingxue in surprise. She could even figure out the number from such a long distance.
Then I thought of something else. It seems that I have received night vision training since I was a child.
He had heard from the elders in the village that the army would have training in this area.
Liu Zhiqing was the child of a soldier and grew up in the army, so it is strange that he had received training in this area.
Uncle Ji ordered, "Everyone, attack from a distance first, and try to kill as many as possible before they get close.
Only resort to hand-to-hand combat as a last resort.
Even in a hand-to-hand fight, you should never fight one by yourself, but attack with several people."
"Everyone, be careful not to let them sneak up behind us and hurt other people in the village."
After saying this, Uncle Ji specifically reminded Liu Jingxue, "Liu Zhiqing, there is always a leader in the wolf pack.
All actions of the wolf pack are directed by the leader wolf using wolf howls.
You have good eyesight, try to find the wolf leader and kill it."
"Uncle Ji, I understand," Liu Jingxue quickly agreed.
In fact, she had just used her spiritual sense to investigate and had already discovered the leader of the wolves, but she couldn't just shoot it directly because that would be too obvious.
At least you have to shoot a few wolves before shooting the leader.
She had released all her spiritual awareness to monitor the movements around her.
Although she wanted to train the villagers, she didn't want anyone in the village to get hurt.
Liu Jingxue decided to shoot some of them herself and leave some for others to deal with.
She left the crowd and walked forward a distance, but Liu Jingxue made sure she remained within the sight of others to avoid accidental injury.
You know, the villagers have several hunting rifles in their hands.
With so many of them holding torches, the wolves had already discovered them and were approaching them step by step.
Liu Jingxue searched for the wolves hiding in the dark corners, intending to launch a sneak attack, so she drew her bow and arrows, intending to kill them first.
With the help of spiritual consciousness, those wolves hiding in the dark were like being under the spotlight for Liu Jingxue, with nowhere to hide.
An arrow was shot and hit the target.
Then came the second one, the third one...
Perhaps the wolf king discovered that his wolves were being shot by Liu Jingxue, so he couldn't help but let out a wolf howl, urging the wolves to speed up their attack.
Many wolves rushed towards Liu Jingxue.
Uncle Ji hurriedly ordered, "Long-range attack."
Villagers with shotguns and bows and arrows took action one after another.
However, their accuracy is not as good as Liu Jingxue's, and it usually takes two shots to take down a wolf.
As for archers, it was even more difficult to kill wolves. Some missed, some hit but missed the vital part. Only a few could hit the vital part and kill with one arrow.
Seeing the villagers' performance, Liu Jingxue felt that if Tuanzi had not reminded her and she had informed the villagers in advance, the village would have suffered a great loss.
