Chapter 35 35. The wolves descended the mountain
After more than a month of snowfall, Lin'an Prefecture ushered in three consecutive days of sunny weather.
During the day, Taiyang went to and from get off work on time without any slack. Anyone who saw the scene of hard work would have to praise him.
However, the people of Lin'an Prefecture were tortured to death.
Without him, it would be too cold!
The temperature brought by the sun can accelerate the melting of snow and also absorb the surrounding heat.
The snow that was originally soft and could leave footprints at any time has now become hard. Not only will it leave no traces, but it will also become more slippery.
If you don't pay attention, you can throw someone far away with a "pounce".
This made all the villagers worried.
“It’s too cold, it’s too cold! The walls are frozen, what can we do?”
"Don't even go out now, even if you stay at home, it's freezing!"
In every household's yard, on the windows, under the walls, any place where snow had accumulated before has become a natural The freezer is always air-conditioned.
The number of people suffering from colds and colds due to the rapid drop in temperature is increasing at an incredible speed, and you can hear the sound of someone coughing even when you walk on the road.
The Shen family didn’t get infected because they drank ginger tea and red date water for three days in a row, but they couldn’t resist the “enthusiasm” of their neighbors.
Cheng Xi had to take out the quicklime he had finally found from Shennong Mountain, make lime water and spray it throughout the courtyard for disinfection.
However, when she turned to the north side of the courtyard with a bucket and saw a series of animal footprints, her expression gradually became serious.
“Animals are coming down the mountain.”
This is not a good sign.
The last time everyone encountered a 300-pound wild boar halfway up the mountain, Cheng Xi thought it was just an accident.
Now that I think about it, they didn’t think deeply about it at that time.
Maybe he was just admiring her heroic appearance
Cheng Xi stared at the string of small footprints for a long time without understanding what kind they were, so he simply called Shen Xingluo over.
"How about it, can you tell what kind of animal it is?"
"It's a wolf."
Shen Xingluo's expression was more solemn than hers.
Wolf? What the hell are these wolf claws? !
Cheng Xi doubted life, she thought it was left by some kind of soft-legged animal!
It’s better now, it’s all big in one go!
"Wolves should be social animals, right?"
"So this one is just exploring the path and did not attract our attention."
"."
This is true. If it weren't for today's anti-virus and sterilization, we still wouldn't be able to find them.
Cheng Xi was depressed, why did the animals go down the mountain? Of course it was because there was no food.
They are using the foot of the mountain as a storage warehouse——
“Should we be lucky that wolves can’t climb trees?”
Otherwise, the two-and-a-half-meter-long wall of their house would not be enough to build, and they might be broken into some night.
Shen Xingluo nodded and shook his head, "Don't be careless. I'll go to the sixth uncle's house first."
His family is the only one in the village who has a two-and-a-half-meter-high wall. Most people can't put it down. The walls are built so high that some houses don't even have a one-meter-high fence.
It’s okay during the day, but it’s easy to get into trouble at night.
“Go, go.”
Watching Shen Xingluo's figure disappear from sight, Cheng Xi looked around and saw no one ducking before entering the space.
She emerged from the black earth outside the small courtyard of the villa. Since the space became larger, this place has become a place where she often comes.
Seven or eight kinds of medicinal materials have been planted on the originally more than one acre of black land. The first few ginseng plants planted have already turned green and are now dancing happily with a few green leaves. Cheng Xi hasn't figured out how time is calculated in space, but she also knows that these ginseng plants are completely different from when she first sent them in.
This time she had no time to observe them. After entering the yard, she went straight to the underground storage room.
After searching for a long time, I finally found the power grid rolled into a mess.
“Fortunately you are here”
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of being missed. Although the wolf cubs cannot enter the wall of their house, they are scary enough outside.
Well now, she has electricity!
“I’m afraid you won’t come!”
Once you're here, don't leave, stay!
Cheng Xi took out the power grid after it was fully charged in the space, and circled the small courtyard twice before stopping.
"That's it, turn on the power grid at night."
The wolves probably don't dare to go down the mountain during the day, and there is a high possibility of sneaking up at night.
***
After discovering the wolf paw prints behind the hospital, Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi became more alert at night.
After their reminder, the sixth uncle also asked Li Zheng to open the ancestral hall again and convey the news that the animals were coming down the mountain.
“What? Found animal footprints?!”
“A wolf? Then there are wolves!”
“I’m scared to death, my family’s food There’s not enough to eat, but they still dare to come and grab it?”
"Oh my god, what kind of world is this that doesn't allow people to live?"
Not only do they have to fight the snow disaster, but they also have to bring along a pack of wolves that can eat human flesh?
Scary, so scary!
The villagers had to believe it because they had seen wild boars coming down the mountain before. After returning home, they brought almost all the poultry in the yard into the house.
Everything you can keep is worth it. Even if you eat it yourself, you can’t take advantage of the wolves!
Because everyone has become aware of the crisis, the nights in Shenjia Village are quieter. As soon as the sun goes down, every house closes its door, and even the coughs are much quieter, let alone visiting.
As expected, the howling of wolves was heard the next night after the notification.
One sound was louder than the other, making the villagers in the house tremble.
Most of this night was spent in fear. Only the three people in the Shen family courtyard slept deeply.
When the sound of howling wolves gradually subsided at dawn the next day, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and even felt lucky to have saved their lives.
Cheng Xi wrapped himself up as a bear early in the morning and walked around to the north of the yard. As expected, he found some traces of wolves behind the house.
Wolves are cunning and have a strong sense of teamwork.
Compared with these two, there is another characteristic that worries Cheng Xi even more.
That is holding a grudge.
Yes, the wolf is an extremely vengeful animal.
When the power grid was being laid out around her, she was hesitating whether to adjust the current to the maximum. She originally thought, "Anyone who dares to come will have to stay with me," but she finally gave up the idea.
One wolf is not scary, and two wolves are not scary, but who knows how many wolves there are in Shennong Mountain?
What if one of them is electrocuted and they hold a grudge against it and continue to die in the future?
At that time, the entire village may become the target of their revenge.
“Don’t come here again next time, otherwise you won’t have the same luck this time.”
Cheng Xi rearranged the power grid, cleaned up the traces, and returned to the small courtyard.
In the next two days, no more wolf howls were heard, which allowed the villagers to sleep a few good nights, and at the same time they were grateful to have escaped a disaster.
However, just when everyone thought that the wolves had given up entering the village because they had not found food, news spread that the two villages next door were visited by animals.
