Chapter 41: Cheng Feng owes you a life
Ling Yun quickly avoided his sight; he could hear his heart beating like a drum.
He didn't understand what was wrong with him. He just felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell where he was uncomfortable.
Su Nuan didn't notice Ling Yun's discomfort. She was still thinking about how to hunt in the next few days.
The rain outside the cave was sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and it was endless. Sometimes the rain was so heavy that people could not get up, and sometimes it was like a thick fog.
The weather is so weird and scary. Could it be that there is a tyrant in power and even God can’t stand it anymore?
At night, when everyone was preparing to rest, the howling of wolves could be heard one after another.
Su Nuan's face darkened. "Maybe because the bears are gone, these wolves started to act up."
Xue grabbed Su Nuan's arm and said anxiously, "You are not allowed to go."
Su Nuan looked at Xue blankly, "Mom, where should I go?"
Xue let go of her hand awkwardly, "I thought you were going to help kill the wolf."
"Wolves are social animals, unlike bears. If you kill this one, there are still other wolves that might attack. It's very dangerous."
Su Nuan said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Mom, I didn't intend to kill the wolf. I just moved the fire to the entrance of the cave."
"Our charcoal fire isn't strong enough to scare off the wolves, but the light from the cave entrance will definitely startle them and give us time to react."
Xue heaved a sigh of relief, "I'll do it, you sit down."
Su Nuan was speechless and could only sit there and watch Xue busy herself.
During this period, we used charcoal because there was no dry firewood available outside.
Su Nuan thought for a moment, fixed the bald man's broom, and wrapped it with cotton cloth smeared with lard to make a big torch.
"If wolves come to our cave entrance, light this. I think it will scare them away."
After all, there are so many caves, and wolves will not wander around the entrance of one cave. They have very high IQs.
Ling Cang said, "Why not hang the bear skin at the door? It will also have a deterrent effect."
Su Nuan shook her head, "No, what if it gets pulled away?"
Ling Cang smiled slightly. This nominal daughter-in-law also had childish moments.
The howling of wolves came from far away and could be heard by everyone in the area. They all had their own means of defense, and the soldiers also patrolled with weapons, ready for battle.
However, Su Nuan didn't expect that the injured Cheng Feng would come to her cave in the rain.
After he entered the room, he took off his raincoat and said with a smile, "Big sister, I'm here to thank you."
Su Nuan quickly said, "No need to thank me, please sit down. I'm here to check on your wound."
Cheng Feng generously undressed to reveal his wound.
The silk thread was originally very thin, but Su Nuan twisted it into a thick thread to suture the wound, so the wound closed well and did not break open.
Cheng Feng smiled and said, "Your medical skills are better than those of the imperial doctors in the palace. When they see injuries like mine, they just tell me to prepare for my funeral."
Su Nuan pressed the edge of the wound with her fingers. The flesh was a little hard, which was normal.
The wound closed well and there was no sign of suppuration.
She took out a bottle of river water and wiped the wound with a handkerchief dipped in the water.
"He's recovering very well. Anyone else would have to stay in bed for ten days or half a month."
Ling Cang and Ling Yun both stared at Cheng Feng, with unclear flickering in their eyes.
Fortunately, Cheng Feng looked at Su Nuan with only admiration and no ambiguity.
Cheng Feng asked, "I heard that you gave me all the blood-replenishing pills."
Su Nuan didn't deny it. "Yes, it's just one. Otherwise, do you think you can get out of this?"
Cheng Feng chuckled and wiped his beard, "Good sister, from now on, I, Cheng Feng, owe you a life."
Su Nuan waved her hand, "Why would I want your life? I still need your protection all the way to the North."
"Look at these wolves today. Without people like you, wouldn't we, the helpless common people, all be dead?"
The corner of Cheng Feng's mouth twitched, and he disagreed with Su Nuan's statement that he was powerless.
But he didn't dwell on the topic. He just looked at the cave entrance and asked, "Is there any medicine that will scare wolves when they smell it?"
Su Nuan shook her head, "No, even if there is, we can't get it now."
After thinking for a moment, she shifted her gaze to the bear skin.
"Do you have a knife?"
Cheng Feng pulled out a sharp dagger from his boots. "Take this. I have the final say in the team now. No one dares to say anything."
Su Nuan was not polite either, she needed such a sharp blade.
She walked over to the bearskin and cut off a strip two fingers wide from the edge.
"The smell of flames burning bear fur should be able to drive away the wolves. I'm just trying it. I don't know if it will work."
Cheng Feng thought this was a good idea. "Well, don't sleep at night. Wait until the wolves leave."
Su Nuan nodded, shaved the hair off the bear skin with a dagger, and placed it next to the charcoal stove for later use.
After waiting for about an hour, they heard the howling of wolves very close to the cave, which showed that the wolves had come to where they lived.
Then there were human screams and shouts. I guess it was the soldiers fighting with the wolves.
Su Nuan was very worried about Li Shitou, but she didn't dare to go out. She knew how capable she was and couldn't show off.
She simply started sorting the herbs. There must be many people injured tonight who would need her treatment.
After more than an hour, Xiaobai, who was lying at the entrance of the cave, suddenly stood up and made a warning sound.
Dozens of pairs of green eyes were swaying outside the cave.
Su Nuan frowned and said, "What's going on? Why are all the wolves here?"
Cheng Feng's expression also changed, and he guessed: "I guess someone drove the wolves down the mountain, hoping that the wolves would kill us."
After a pause, he looked at Ling Cang and said, "I want to kill you."
"There must be a traitor in the exile group. Damn it, I'll catch him and crush him to death."
Su Nuan looked down at the ring. In her previous life, this ring was on Ling Yun. No one knew who wanted to get it and sent many killers.
Fortunately, Ling Yun did not become stupid in his previous life and had great skills, so he was not killed.
Unfortunately, the ring eventually fell into someone else's hands because Ling Yun used the ring to exchange for his own life.
She touched the ring, took it off and put it in the space, waiting for a chance to make an identical fake and wear it.
Cheng Feng grabbed a handful of bear hair and threw it into the charcoal basin. The pungent smell immediately filled the cave.
Xue took a fan made of leaves and fanned the air to let the smell go away.
The wolves outside indeed hesitated and did not rush into the cave rashly.
Cheng Feng did not dare to relax and stood at the entrance of the cave waiting with a steel knife in his hand.
When the smell faded, he grabbed another handful of bear hair and threw it into the charcoal fire.
After a stalemate of more than half an hour, the bear's hair was gone.
Su Nuan wanted to cut off some more. As long as she could save her life, what would it matter if the whole bear skin was burned?
However, the wolves outside were driven by something and rushed into the cave, howling.
Su Nuan shouted, "Mom, all of you go to the inner room, quickly!"
Xue was about to say something, but the old lady grabbed her and said, "Follow my instructions and don't act on your own."
Xue bit her lip, picked up Tuan Tuan and pulled the old lady into the inner room.
