Chapter 306: Wolf Howls from the Threshing Ground
When talking about Ma Zi, everyone started to curse. One of them ventured out and cautiously glanced at the pile of grass where Tu Subo was lying. Then he glanced at Uncle Guo who was sleeping like the dead, waved his hand and whispered, "Stop arguing and move faster!"
"This matter has already shown signs of progress. We can't continue after completing today's work. Hurry and move the supplies! Erhu is still waiting at the door!"
The footsteps were disorganized. In the chaos, Tu Subo closed his eyes and stood still, like a mountain. He secretly calculated in his heart: there are five intruders in total.
Including the one who was keeping watch at the door, there were exactly six people.
Tu Subo's mouth curled up slightly, and he continued to pretend to be asleep perfectly. The busy figures under the haystack did not notice that he was actually awake. As they moved the rice bags, the volume of their conversations involuntarily increased.
The night was dim and the intruder had ulterior motives. He hurriedly picked up the rice bag and rushed out, without even checking whether there were any unusual marks on it.
Tu Subo rubbed his fingers hidden in his sleeves silently, and when he estimated that the time had come, he suddenly put his index finger to his lips and let out a sudden whistle.
Guo Tiezhu, who was carrying rice bags, turned around in panic: "What's that sound?!"
"Where's that sound?"
"I just heard someone blowing..."
There was a loud bang, and the man carrying the rice bag toward the door turned pale as paper, his mouth wide open in terror, and ran away, shouting, "Wolf... There's a wolf!"
"The wolf is coming!"
Guo Tiezhu and others didn't take it seriously at first, wondering how there could be wolves in the village threshing ground.
However, when they turned their heads and saw the wolf eyes flashing with a faint green light in the hazy night, they were instantly soaked in cold sweat.
"It's... it's a wolf..."
A shrill wolf howl pierced the night sky. The wolf that was discovered first raised its head and howled in the moonlight. Then, several more pairs of wolf eyes like will-o'-the-wisp appeared.
After a moment of panic, Guo Tiezhu and others ran desperately in panic. However, the surrounding wolves seemed to have locked onto them, howling miserably and rushing towards them like unstoppable beasts!
“Help!”
"Please, come and save me!"
"A ferocious wolf! A wolf is wreaking havoc on the village! Help!"
Uncle Guo, who was lying in the straw pile, turned over amidst his heart-wrenching cries for help, and then fell into a deep sleep again, snoring like thunder.
At some point, Tu Subo had quietly sat up, perched high on the haystack, squinting his eyes and carefully looking at the chaos in front of him.
In the threshing ground filled with panic, chaos and wolf howling, no one except Tu Subo noticed a faint flute sound floating in the air.
Of course, Guo Tiezhu and others had no time to care about anything else at this time.
The sound of the flute gradually became sharper, and the wolves that were originally chasing them became even more manic and restless.
Blood splattered as the sharp teeth clenched, and shrill screams pierced the night sky. The cries for help and the smell of blood filled the night wind, so strong that it even covered up the fragrance of rice.
Tu Subo gently fiddled with the straw in his hand, a deep smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"The things in my house are warm to the touch."
"Now that you're here, there's no need to rush to leave. Stay and spend the night together."
The village suddenly fell into commotion and was filled with noise.
Gu Yuexuan, who was talking to Tu Suting, suddenly paused. Suddenly, a sharp alarm erupted from outside the door: "The wolves are coming down the mountain!"
"A vicious wolf has come down the mountain to hurt people!"
"Every household, old and young, bolt your doors tightly and don't go out! Women, close your doors and windows quickly and hide! Men who are able to protect themselves, take up arms and fight the wolves!"
"Hurry, hurry! Grab your stuff and get going!"
Gu Yuexuan's face turned pale instantly. Just as she was about to move, Tu Suting held her shoulders tightly. "Hey, what are you doing?!"
This was also the first time that Tu Suting encountered such an emergency. He hurriedly grabbed Gu Yuexuan and prevented her from taking the risk of going out. Then, he pushed her into the wine cellar in the winery where wine jars were stored.
"It's so noisy outside! Can't you hear the chaotic shouting? Little girl, behave yourself! Go inside and hide quickly. Don't wander around anymore!"
Gu Yuexuan didn't have time to react before she was violently pushed into the wine cellar. Just as she was about to struggle, the faint light in front of her eyes disappeared in an instant. Tu Suting moved swiftly and decisively, grabbing the heavy lock and slamming the wine cellar door shut.
"Third Uncle?!"
"Stay put!"
Tu Suting shouted hoarsely, "It's very safe here. Nothing can get in!"
Gu Yuexuan's expression was filled with shock and emptiness. She grabbed the door latch and said with a helpless smile, "But I can't get out either!"
"What are you doing out here?"
Tu Suting frantically searched for the right tools and said in a bad tone, "I have to rush back as soon as possible. Grandpa and grandma are the only ones left at home. I really can't take care of you right now. Don't cause me any trouble!"
"But Tu Subo is still on the threshing floor! He..."
"Oh, it's already this late, and you're still worried about that kid Tu Subo?"
Tu Suting sneered, his tone tinged with anger. "That brat is quite capable. Even a few ferocious wolves or a few thieves wouldn't be able to hurt him easily! Take care of yourself first!"
Gu Yuexuan was at a loss for words and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Tu Suting.
"Leave it alone!"
Tu Suting grabbed a gleaming hatchet and said fiercely, "There are already wild wolves in the village, and everyone is in a panic. If thieves really come to the threshing ground, will you still be worried about it?"
Although what he said was not without reason, Gu Yuexuan felt an indescribable uneasiness in her heart.
She wanted to try to struggle, but Tu Suting was already emitting a murderous aura and rushed out of the winery with a hatchet in hand.
The old lady back home was critically ill, and although the grandfather had once been incredibly brave, time was no exception. If those wild wolves really broke into the house, it would probably cause a disaster!
Gu Yuexuan tried calling out several times, but received no response. She rubbed her cheeks violently with her hands, then slid down weakly against the door of the wine cellar.
At the same time, torches lit up one after another in the village, like fire dragons winding through the night. The villagers bravely stepped out of their houses, holding various weapons in their hands.
"Threshing ground! That shrill wolf howl came from the direction of Tu Su's threshing ground!"
Hu Hongsheng, who was rushing in the front, trembled violently when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and said harshly, "There are only two people over there in the threshing ground..."
Uncle Guo is very efficient at work, but his legs can't run fast.
Tu Su Bo He...
The village chief's large hand, like a palm-leaf fan, slapped Hu Hongsheng's arm fiercely with a strong wind. He shouted angrily, "You know there's no one over there, why don't you go there quickly?!"
"What are you all standing there for?! Hurry to the threshing ground and rescue them immediately!"
"quick!"
The villagers gathered spontaneously, holding torches high, and swarmed in. Before they rushed into the threshing floor, they saw the shocking blood on the ground.
Two figures lay on the ground, unable to move, their lives unknown.
