Seeing that everyone was still in the cabins and hadn't come down the mountain.
Instead of doing their proper work, they spent the whole afternoon digging traps and gathering firewood. Yuan Tiezhu mocked them:
"Wow, you've gathered so much firewood! You're really capable. When you come down the mountain, are you planning to divide the firewood among yourselves? I wonder if it would be edible to cook firewood like meat?"
"They wouldn't possibly try to take a share of the wild game we fought so hard to hunt, would they? That would be incredibly shameless!"
Zhong Wanwan didn't indulge him this time. Why keep everyone alive when they were risking their lives? It was all to save Yuan Tiezhu, this ungrateful bastard!
Zhong Wanwan retorted:
"Cooking meat with firewood won't kill anyone, but I don't know why some people are willing to risk their lives for money, causing everyone to stay on the mountain. If something really happens, how many lives will they have to pay to compensate for those families!"
"Uncle Yuan, if a pack of wolves really comes, you can definitely fight them all by yourself and protect everyone, right?"
Wang Erlaizi chimed in:
"Of course it will work! With the skills of that master hunter Yuan, he wouldn't be afraid of a pack of wolves, or even a whole pack of bears!"
Zhang Liuzhi exaggeratedly patted his chest and said:
"Then we're not afraid anymore. We were scared all afternoon while digging traps, but with Hunter Yuan protecting us, we can rest assured!"
Yuan Tiezhu's face turned red and then pale as the three men mocked him in unison.
Thinking that it was all Brother Wei's nonsense, that there was no wolf king or any jackal, he gritted his teeth and said:
"If I'm going to charge ahead, I'll be at the very front. If there really is a pack of wolves, I'll be right there..."
Before Yuan Tiezhu could finish speaking, they heard the howling of wolves coming from afar.
Yuan Tiezhu was so frightened that he bit his tongue, and he couldn't say any more of his boastful words.
Upon hearing the sound, Brother Wei dashed out the door.
Looking around, because it wasn't late yet, Brother Wei could only vaguely see pairs of emerald green eyes in the woods.
Brother Wei roughly checked the number of wolves, and his heart sank.
Generally, a wolf pack should consist of a dozen to several dozen people, with a maximum of 70 to 80 people, which is a fairly large wolf pack.
But he had just roughly counted that there were at least a hundred wolves outside, possibly even more than a hundred, since he couldn't see clearly from a distance.
This is a larger number than the one he experienced back then, but there are far fewer of them now than his grandfather and his family.
Not to mention their skills; Grandpa's old buddies were all seasoned hunters.
Even if it was due to greed that they made the wrong decision to keep the hunter's family alive, it was still commendable in its courage and strength.
But right now, there are only 20 people in their farm group, including two women.
Now we can only hope that although there are many wolves, they haven't surrounded us yet, and if they are fast enough, they can still run down the mountain!
Brother Wei rushed into the house and shouted:
"Get dressed, grab your weapons, and let's head down the mountain!"
Even at this moment, Yuan Tiezhu, risking his life rather than his wealth, asked:
"What about the luggage? What about the wild game? We can't just leave the luggage and wild game on the mountain!"
They all carried bedding rolls when they went up the mountain. Those were thick quilts and thick mattresses, worth quite a bit of money!
As for wild game, it's something we hunted with great effort, so who would want to give it away to the wolf pack?
Brother Wei said angrily:
"What time is it? Is your life more important or your luggage and wild game?"
"If you think you can outrun the wolves with all this stuff, then go ahead and take it. How much you bring down the mountain is up to you, and we promise no one will be envious!"
Yuan Tiezhu then shut up. Although he was also reluctant to part with these things, his life was more important.
The stuff, the stuff can only be given to the wolves...
