The howling of the wolves was getting louder and louder. The old chief no longer allowed anyone to collect firewood, and only allowed them to pick up dead branches under the hibiscus tree.
Because no one knew when the wolves had surrounded us.
It was too easy to be taken away by wolves in the dark.
For safety reasons, they cannot be put in danger.
A huge pile of firewood as tall as a person made everyone feel more at ease. The old patriarch kept stuffing wood into the campfire while praying.
"I hope those wolves won't come over. There's a bonfire over there. We can just put our tent in the middle of it..."
There were three or four tents set up in the middle of the fire. No one was sleepy at this time, and they all squatted beside the fire. It seemed that only the fire could give people a sense of security.
The chief was accompanied by several villagers, who were holding hunting rifles and standing guard not far from the campfire, for fear of being attacked by wolves!
Suddenly a voice came over, and the villager raised his gun and shouted into the darkness,
"Whoever's over there, if you don't make a sound I'll shoot..."
In fact, this is just their habit. In fact, where else would there be anyone here except them?
Wolves cannot talk.
They only attack people by surprise!
"Xiaoshan, are you here? Xiaoshan, I'm Wang Ju..."
There really was someone talking in the darkness with a weak breath, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar. When he heard that it was Wang Ju, the man holding the gun immediately put away the gun and shouted quickly.
"Xiaoshan, your mother is here, come, come and see..."
The people on the other side of the campfire were also alarmed, and several of them ran over with searchlights on their heads. When they saw the appearance of the people in front of them, they were all shocked.
At this time, Xiaowu was covered in blood and his clothes were torn.
The remaining few people were also in a very miserable state, as if they had just been fished out of the water. They supported each other and gasped for breath. When we saw them again, several of them had fainted.
Xu Zijun and Xiaoshan quickly carried the people to the campfire. Xu Zijun gave them water, while Xiaoshan was pulled by Wang Ju, crying and laughing.
They were lucky to be alive now.
"Mountain God, we encountered the Mountain God. We were about to be eaten by the wolves, but in the end it was the Mountain God who saved us. Miraculously, the wolves all retreated, not a single one was left. There were originally thousands of wolves, too many, too many..."
Wang Ju drank hot water in big gulps beside the campfire, and her tears never stopped.
When she thought about how she almost lost sight of the hill, when she thought about how after their searchlights went out, she could clearly feel the wolves breathing in her ears in the darkness, and how their tongues almost licked her face, she felt a pang of fear in her heart.
If the mountain god hadn't appeared at the end, they would all have died!
"How could there be a mountain god? I just heard the sound of a wolf howling..."
Xiaoshan patted his mother's back to calm her down, because his mother was too excited at the moment. If she was so excited, she might have hallucinations.
"There really is a mountain god. In the moonlight, I saw it, I saw it, and I heard the mountain god shouting, 'Get lost!' I, I, I saw the back of the mountain god..."
Wang Ju insisted that it was the mountain god who saved them. Xiaoshan didn't say much at this time. Xu Zijun checked the scars on everyone's body.
Apart from the scratches on Xiaowu's body, the rest of the people were at most scratched by the branches on the mountain. The others had no obvious scars, which was a blessing in disguise.
Among these people, Wang Xiaoju and her friends had not yet had dinner. They were so frightened that they had no strength left. They lay on the grass, just looking at the hill, unable to move for a long time.
Xu Zijun knew that several people had not eaten, so he was busy getting something to eat for everyone.
Only when you are full can you feel energetic!
The old patriarch planned to shoot two rabbits with a hunting rifle so that everyone could have a bite to eat. If that didn't work, he could just dig up some wild vegetables and cook some soup. But before the old patriarch could do anything, Hua Yueying over there screamed, and everyone hurried over to see.
There was also Wang Ju, who looked at Hua Yueying, who was as beautiful as a fairy in a white dress, with some surprise, and she couldn't hide the surprise on her face.
"Why is there a goat? That's strange. The wound seems to be caused by a wolf. Tsk tsk, could it really be a gift from the mountain god?"
The old patriarch was surprised.
I didn't see a wolf, but I saw a wild goat that was still alive?
There was still blood on the neck, and the teeth marks were caused by a wolf. But the wolf bit the goat and didn't eat it itself, but left it here. Could it be that the mountain god really appeared?
"Look, there are rabbits and pheasants over there. Oh, what's going on?"
Hua Yueying pretended to be surprised and shouted a few times. The old patriarch over there happily picked up all the prey and kept praying to the mountain to thank the mountain god for the gift. Only Hua Yueying covered her mouth and laughed.
Hahaha, what mountain god? The mountain god is among them!
At this time, Zhang Fan, who was on the top of the tree, also came down. He held a wooden stick in his hand and stood by the stream. He knocked on the river. Soon, fish floated up. Most of them were the size of a palm.
The fish was just right to grill when skewered on a wooden stick. If the fish was too big, Xu Zijun simply made fish soup.
As for the goats, pheasants, rabbits, etc., the old patriarch quickly picked them up and roasted them directly over the fire.
Everyone who was originally nervous finally relaxed at this moment. Listening around, they could no longer hear the sound of wolves howling. It was so quiet all around that even the chirping of night birds could not be heard.
The old patriarch and his men were a little uneasy because they had never encountered such a thing in the mountains.
But at this moment, looking at the goats, rabbits and pheasants they were roasting on the fire, his heart suddenly calmed down. This was the mountain god blessing them, and they would be in no danger.
"Xiaoshan, mommy really dreams of you coming back. You are finally back. Seeing you like this, it's worth it even if I die..."
Xiaoshan's mother kept touching her son's hands and was extremely happy. She looked left and right and couldn't see enough.
Over there, Xu Zijun not only stewed the fish, but also put the sheep bones into the pot, and then got a lot of wild vegetables, washed them and put them directly in the pot to blanch, just like a hot pot.
The relaxed people smelled the aroma of mutton roasting over the fire. Without the sound of wolves howling, they felt much more relaxed.
"It smells so good. It's so wonderful to think that one day I can eat the mutton that the mountain god sends us..."
Wang Ju looked at the bubbling mutton soup and said something with deep emotion, but when she said this, her eyes were fixed on Hua Yueying!
