Chapter 138 Attack Again
Cows don't have much hair, but they seem to be more cold-resistant than sheep.
When you put your hand on the cow's back, you can feel the noticeable warmth.
When they arrived at the place, Mu Xi led the cows away to eat grass. Zhao Yeqing paid attention to the snow under his feet and walked carefully to the side of the wheat field.
This sight made her feel relieved.
The sudden drop in temperature only caused one or two wheat plants to have yellow leaves, but most of them were still green.
It is probably because it is relatively cold on the mountain, and the seeds left by the original owner are relatively cold-resistant.
Fortunately, she did not be lazy in watering the plants in winter. She had previously thought of waiting until the temperature was around five degrees before watering them, but now there was no chance for five degrees to appear at all.
It went right down to below zero.
The temperature in the mountains is lower, and it is estimated to be around ten degrees in the city now.
The pros and cons of the environment then emerged. When it is hot in the summer, it is much cooler in the mountains, but it is also relatively colder in the winter.
Zhao Yeqing can't stand heat, but he can accept cold. He can't deal with the heat, but he can warm himself by the fire when he's cold.
She can make a fire, but the crops in the field can't.
It is estimated that the barley will be harvested in half a month, but we must hope that no accidents happen.
Zhao Yeqing gently pinched the ears of barley with his hands, but they were not full enough.
Highland barley is a kind of barley. The difference is that unlike barley, wheat and rice, which have a layer of skin outside the rice grains, its fruits are directly exposed to the outside.
Before it had fully grown, some of it was eaten by migrating birds, which made her very sad.
Mu Xi settled the cow down and came over. Looking at a half-empty wheat ear, he said, "Why don't we make a few more scarecrows?"
There was no straw, so we had to use branches.
This place was not far from the woods, so Mu Xi walked over and picked up a lot of branches and vines.
The two men did not bring any brightly colored plastic bags or anything like that, so they could only use wooden sticks to tie together two somewhat ugly scarecrow shapes.
Zhao Yeqing stuck the human-shaped wooden stick into the ground and said to Mu Xi, "Go back and get some useful things first. I'll wait for you here."
Mu Xi left the gun to her before leaving.
She walked to the small slope nearby and saw Dahuang and his flock of sheep not far away. The road was slippery due to the snow, so the goats obediently did not go up the slope.
Zhao Yeqing's hands were a little cold, and she thought of calling a dog over to hug her for a while, but before she could open her mouth, several dogs appeared in combat readiness postures.
She looked up.
The same scene, the same location, walking on the same hill, it seems like the same pack of wolves.
The wolves looked thinner than before.
Zhao Yeqing's heart suddenly tightened. Mu Xi had not come back yet. She picked up the gun and pointed it at the wolves, watching them move slowly.
This group of wolves must be extremely hungry, and they are determined to win this time.
Her eyes were stern, she held her breath to steady her hands, raised the gun and fired a shot.
"Bang!"
Mu Xi, who had just entered the house from a distance, changed his face drastically when he heard the voice. He turned around and rushed to the meadow without caring about the things in his hands.
The sheep and wolves were also startled by the gunshots.
Several dogs surrounded the flock of sheep and prevented them from running around.
Hearing the sound, the wolves couldn't help but take a small step back. As they retreated, five wolves raised their heads and stared at her straight.
The distance was not close, so the details could not be seen clearly, but she seemed to feel the coldness in the wolf's eyes.
Her heart was pounding, but she wasn't that scared.
The depression between the hill where she stood and the hill where the wolf was was the flock of sheep.
Even if the wolf wanted to come, it would directly hunt the sheep and would not go around the flock to bite her who posed a threat.
After Zhao Yeqing fired the blank shot, he pointed the gun at the wolves again.
There was one bullet left in the gun, and if they rushed down, I could only fire one more shot.
The wolves took a small step back and then stopped, but they still seemed unwilling to retreat.
If you don't retreat, you may be beaten to death. If you retreat, you may starve to death.
Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well give it a try.
This is what Zhao Yeqing speculated, and the wolves thought the same way.
She was not afraid of the sheep being bitten to death, she was more worried about whether something might happen to the dogs.
The hand that was holding the gun handle was already sweating slightly. Seeing the wolves slowly moving forward again, Zhao Yeqing's ears were ringing due to nervousness.
Mu Xi suddenly put his hand on her shoulder from behind. Her body trembled violently and she turned back in surprise.
"Don't be afraid, it's me."
Mu Xi realized that he had scared her, so he quickly said, "I called you just now, but you were so focused that you didn't hear me at all."
Zhao Yeqing had already turned his gaze back to the wolves before speaking, "There's only one bullet in the gun."
The gun was returned to Mu Xi, who took the bullets out of his pocket and put them into the magazine.
As soon as the bullets were replaced, the wolves on the top of the mountain jumped down and rushed towards the flock of sheep.
Mu Xi raised his gun and hit a wolf in the chest halfway. The wolf lost its balance and rolled down the hillside.
The remaining wolves were frightened and slowed down, but they did not stop their attack.
Sheep are very timid creatures. When they see a wolf coming, some sheep will be so scared that they will stand still and not move.
When the dog was driving the flock back, one goat was so stupid that it didn't dare to move, and was bitten on the neck by the wolf that rushed down.
Seeing this, Dahuang was about to pounce on the timid sheep to save it.
Zhao Yeqing was so angry that he was about to punch him, shouting, "Da Huang, don't go!!".
The sheep is dead, so be it, but nothing can happen to the dog.
Mu Xi raised his gun and fired another shot at the wolf.
The shot only hit the wolf's leg.
Now the remaining three wolves didn't dare to get any closer. The injured wolf let out a howl, then limped away following its companions.
The battle was not too fierce, with each side losing one, so it was a narrow victory for them.
The victory was narrow because both bodies could be recovered.
Zhao Yeqing ran down the hillside with a clattering sound, and Mu Xi hurriedly followed behind him. The snowy slope was so snowy that one could easily roll down if they were not careful.
She reached the flat land in the valley and took a few dogs over to comfort them.
Dahuang was in a low mood, probably because he felt that he had not managed the sheep well enough.
Zhao Yeqing hurriedly hugged it and didn't let it go until it wagged its tail again.
The wolf that was hit was gradually losing its breath.
Mu Xi refilled the magazine and tentatively pushed the wolf with the barrel of the gun, but there was no response.
Normally, for the sake of species protection, you cannot kill wolves if you encounter one, even if it is a sheep that has been eaten.
But if the wolf starts hunting and killing, and they fail to scare it off this time, it might come back home.
The current situation is special and the two must do everything they can to protect themselves.
The sheep that was bitten has died.
Mu Xi walked over to take a look and said to Zhao Yeqing, "Is this the goat you said you were going to slaughter?"
Zhao Yeqing ran over upon hearing this, "It seems... it's true."
This male goat usually snatches and guards food, and always bullies other sheep, including pregnant sheep, with its head.
Zhao Yeqing didn't feel it was a pity anymore.
"Look, this guy who bullies the sheep the most on weekdays and looks the most hateful is actually the most cowardly when he goes outside."
