Chapter 320 Encountering a Wolf Pack (1)

Bahrain and the others were curious and asked why they had to pull out the wall panels from under the tarpaulin instead of lifting the tarpaulin completely and taking them out directly.

Song Liyun had only one explanation: the oilcloth was too big, and there were other things underneath, so it would be troublesome to lift it up completely.

After the house was built, Song Liyun closed the door and "cooked".

Song Dekui and Lin Qingyuan went hunting on horseback with their guards. When they quarreled in the afternoon, they talked about Tianxianglou and the barbecue skewers in Tianxianglou.

For the past two days, everyone has been eating dried meat and biscuits. Although they can fill their stomachs, they always feel a little lacking.

I saw a herd of wild sheep nearby on the road and wanted to hunt one to satisfy my craving.

Balin has the responsibility arranged by the guard post and needs to protect Song Liyun's safety at all times.

The four of them were sitting around the wall, with a few horses outside grazing, and they also collected some hay to spread on the ground.

Just as Song Liyun was slicing some dried meat and putting it into the pot, several people who were hunting outside came back excitedly.

Song Dekui was shouting from a distance, "Xiaoyun, don't make porridge tonight. Let's grill some meat. Grill and eat until we're full."

These people can catch prey in less than half an hour.

Song Liyun walked out to see that on the back of one of the men's horses was a wild sheep with long horns. The prey had just died, and blood was still flowing from the wound on its neck.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qingyuan, Song Dekui and others were so lucky that they encountered the most fearful wild sheep as soon as they went out.

Balin also came over to see, and his face changed when he saw a few small holes on the wild goat's front legs, which were obviously not caused by knives or arrows.

"Boss Song, Boss Lin, where did you get these sheep?"

Song Dekui laughed heartily. "As soon as we went out, we saw a few sheep being chased by wolves. One of them was frightened and came straight towards us. We easily hunted it."

Balin hurriedly asked, "Are the wolves chasing us?"

Lin Qingyuan interjected, "We're hunting our own game. What are the wolves chasing us for? They'll just run away when they see us!"

Balin had a look of hidden worry on his face. Seeing everyone happily processing the mutton, he finally shut up.

Several people were happily skinning and removing the meat, threading the mutton onto twigs, and then putting it on the charcoal fire. Song Liyun took out the seasoning jar.

Soon, as the mutton sizzled in the flames, the aroma of Tianxianglou's secret seasoning filled everyone's nostrils. Even Balin, who had been scowling, couldn't help swallowing.

After the mutton was roasted, Lin Qingyuan and others began to feast on it, and Balin also started eating without hesitation.

Compared to the everyday coarse salt and precious chive sauce, Bahrain and his friends felt that this spicy and fragrant barbecue was so delicious that they wanted to swallow their tongues.

In fact, the food Song Liyun cooked these days also had a strong flavor, but compared to this stimulating taste, it was still a world of difference.

Lin Qingyuan wolfed down the food without any image. He had eaten skewers at Tianxianglou before.

When eating at this time, I felt like I was sitting in Tianxiang Tower again, and the people around me were not smelly men, but beautiful maids and girls.

Song Dekui's face was greasy from eating so much that he threw a leg of lamb to one of the Di people named Zhemao and said, "Don't be polite, take it and share it."

The man caught it, and a silly smile suddenly appeared on his dark face. He quickly took out a knife to cut the lamb leg into pieces and shared it with his friend.

There were people from the Di tribe and the Wu Dynasty in their group. Although there were no conflicts along the way, Lin Qingyuan brought many guards with him, so Balin and others were naturally weaker.

In addition, the wild sheep were hunted by Lin Qingyuan and his team, so Balin and his team were a little reluctant to let go.

Balin took a bite of the mutton and said to Song Liyun, who was eating the skewers slowly, "Miss Song, we need to arrange a few more people to keep watch tonight."

"Why arrange more? Everyone is tired, or is it not working as before?" Song Liyun turned around and asked loudly.

Song Dekui and Lin Qingyuan next to them started arguing again about drinking, and several guards were laughing and making fun of them, making it difficult for the two to speak.

Balin touched his sword and said, "I always feel that something is wrong tonight. There are too many wolves outside, and the sheep we are eating were stolen."

Song Liyun put down the skewers and asked, "How do you know it was the wolf who stole it?"

Balin stretched out his hand and gestured on his arm: "I see a wolf tooth mark on this."

If we were to say which animal on the grassland is the most threatening to humans, it would be the prairie wolf.

This kind of social animal is also the most vengeful. Song Liyun had seen it during the day, but the group was large and powerful, so the wolves and humans did not interfere with each other. They just watched from afar and went their separate ways.

If the wolf pack steals its prey, it will be hard to say.

Song Liyun's face was solemn as she opened the door and looked out.

The snow had stopped long ago, but the snow was still there. In the darkness, something was faintly moving, and there were also the sounds of wolves howling.

This situation is very normal on the grassland, and you can see wolves running by during the day.

In the stable next to it, thirteen horses were also munching on grass, occasionally snorting.

Everything looks normal!

Song Liyun returned to the fire pit and sat down. Balin was still eagerly waiting for instructions.

She wanted to say that there was no such thing as "normal outside," and in this case, she trusted the grassland natives, and their knowledge of the wilderness, and Balin and his people were the experts.

She believed that Balin would not scare her for no reason.

From what she had learned about Balin in the past few days, she knew that he was an ambitious chief with great ambitions, and all he cared about was how to develop his tribe.

All he talked about was how prosperous the Wuda tribe was now.

Especially since he knew that he had some connection with the Wuda tribe, he felt even closer to them.

"Balin, Master Lin and the others drank a little too much. You have to work harder and have someone keep watch to get through the night. We will be able to cross the no-man's land tomorrow afternoon and reach Jiaka Mountain the day after tomorrow at the latest." Song Liyun said seriously.

Balin nodded. He had been helping his father become the leader of the tribe since he was a teenager, so he didn't have to worry about arranging personnel.

Telling Song Liyun in advance at this time was just a precaution and also to build a better relationship.

At this time, from the darkness in the distance, prairie wolves ran out silently.

The wolves were extremely angry because the prey they had hunted during the day was lost. They were the overlords of this area and no one could take away their food.

The wolves' keen sense of smell had already smelled the aroma of barbecue, but the human scent and noise made them hesitate and just surrounded the camp from a distance to observe.

Half an hour later, driven by the leader, several old wolves began to approach the wooden house.

In the stable, the old horse kept kicking the ground, and the other horses also stopped eating, all watching the night vigilantly.

The night watchman assigned by Bahrain was sitting in the sheltered place of the cart outside, gnawing on the most delicious bone-in meat of the lamb leg with relish.

The delicious food in his mouth made him a little intoxicated, and he didn't even notice the movement outside.

The two wolves slowly moved their bodies, crawled to the side of the cart, stood up slightly, aimed at the human's neck and pretended to pounce.
