Chapter 289 Xuan'er is missing!
After three or four bottles of alcohol were poured out, Ran Qingxuan quickly threw out the fire starter.
When it comes into contact with alcohol, an area with a diameter of ten meters is instantly surrounded by a circle of fire.
The two wolves running in the front couldn't stop at all, and their fur was immediately ignited when they ran into the circle of fire.
A series of squeaking and wailing sounds were heard, and the burning wolf was hacked to death by the officers nearby before it could even get up.
Due to the fire circle in front of them, the wolves immediately stopped attacking and instead stopped and wandered outside the fire circle, making whimpering sounds in their throats, trying to make these people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen were worried about the safety of their own family, and at the same time they had to consider the safety of the other two families, which made them feel a little nervous.
Knowing that the fire circle would not burn forever, Ran Qingxuan quickly walked to the tent where Old Madam Gu was and handed the Mitsubishi bayonet in his hand to his eldest brother Gu Yanzong.
Gu Yanzong originally thought that he was a useless man, but Ran Qingxuan's behavior shocked him. When he took the bayonet, a murderous look instantly flashed in his eyes, as if he was back to the moment before fighting with the enemy on the battlefield.
Old Madam Gu held Xuan'er, who was full of fear on her face, and she was protected by several daughters-in-law. Fourth sister-in-law Jiang Ruxue had only been conscious for two days and was still in confusion. Seeing everyone nervous, she also became afraid.
Alcohol burns and evaporates very quickly, and the fire is much smaller than before.
Gu Yanchen knew that the flames would disappear in two quarters of an hour at most, and they would become food for the wolves.
When Ran Qingxuan saw him reaching out and gently stroking his face, worry flashed in his eyes.
Sure enough, the next second she heard Gu Yanchen say to her: "You and big brother should protect your family. Don't take out those things unless it is absolutely necessary."
When Ran Qingxuan saw that Gu Yanchen wanted to go out alone to fight off the wolves, he immediately shook his head to reject it.
"I won't let you fight alone. You must believe in my ability."
Gu Yanchen was moved by the determination in her eyes. His thoughts moved slightly, but he couldn't refuse in the end.
"We'll go together, but you must not leave my sight, otherwise if you are besieged by wolves, I won't be able to save you even if you are!"
"good."
Gu Yanzong signaled to the two men, "Be careful, wolves move in groups, so don't attack too deep."
The two nodded, and after comforting the worried Madam Gu, Ran Qingxuan took out the Molotov cocktail he had made in the tent.
"This is a firebomb I made. Just light the cloth at the mouth of the bottle and throw it at the wolves."
After that, he took out a lighter and demonstrated to him how to light a fire.
A cloth strip was stuffed into the mouth of the alcohol bottle and then screwed shut by Ran Qingxuan. This way, when it was ignited, the alcohol would not burn quickly into the bottle and it would also be convenient to take out.
Gu Yanchen picked up two and put them on his belt, then put his arms around Ran Qingxuan's waist and jumped out of the fire circle.
The two men attracted a part of the wolves, and before those hungry wolves arrived, Ran Qingxuan took out an identical bayonet and held it in his hand.
Just in case, a small grenade suddenly appeared in his hand when he thought about it.
But after thinking about it, she took it back into the space. After all, these hot weapons with too high a lethality rate should not appear unless it is absolutely necessary.
He took out two crossbows and dozens of short arrows and handed them to Gu Yanchen, who put them on with ease.
Gu Yanchen climbed up Ran Qingxuan's slender waist and leaped lightly, then used the force to carry Ran Qingxuan up to the only dry tree nearby.
The two men quickly found a suitable position and attacked the wolves by sticking close to the thick tree trunk.
At the same time, the officers did not sit still and wait for death. Seeing that the fire was getting smaller and the remaining wolves were about to attack, they immediately jumped out of the fire circle with swords in hand.
There were only a dozen or so officers, and after seven of them left, the remaining ones had to guard the prisoners to prevent them from escaping in the chaos.
Xiao Wende and Chen Zhao from the Xiao family were at the age of full vigor and vitality. Seeing this, they were unwilling to hide in the corner. After coming out, they found the wood for burning and used it as weapons in their hands.
Because Xiao Hongyi was still in a coma, the other members of the Xiao family protected the child and hid in the same tent to prevent everyone from being too dispersed.
The women of the Chen family also came to Madam Gu's tent. In addition to the women hiding inside, Chen Chengping and his nephew were guarding the entrance of the tent.
Be prepared to take action at any time if the wolves rush in!
As for the Li and Shang families, who had no tents, they huddled together in the bushes like lambs to be slaughtered, screaming and crying.
One officer got annoyed by the noise and slapped him, saying viciously: "If you don't want to die, you'd better shut up!"
The ten short arrows in the crossbow were used up, and Ran Qingxuan quickly installed them. At the same time, Gu Yanchen only had two left.
By the time she launched the attack, Gu Yanchen's power had just run out.
The two men cooperated well, changing the quivers back and forth no less than seven or eight times, and directly killed more than thirty wild wolves that came forward to test.
After the leader wolf howled, the wolves that had originally surrounded Gu Yanchen and Ran Qingxuan quickly changed direction and ran towards the light circle that was about to go out.
Nearly thirty wolves left, and the number of wolves surrounding the light circle was at least equal to that number.
As soon as they met, the wolves rushed into the extinguished fire circle amid the howling of the leader wolf.
Even though the man had wood in his hands, he was unable to resist the attack of dozens of wolves. The tent was torn to pieces and the woman's screams rang out.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Yanchen put away his dagger and pulled out a Molotov cocktail from his waist.
When there was only thirty meters left, the wolves on the periphery attacked the two. Gu Yanchen and Ran Qingxuan lit the Molotov cocktails together and threw them at the wolves without hesitation.
The flames instantly engulfed more than a dozen wild wolves. The leader wolf paced back and forth in the snow. After a moment, he gave an order and fled with the rest of the wolf pack.
Bu Wei led his men to finish off the wild wolves that were not yet dead, and he couldn't help but tremble with fear when he saw the corpses all over the ground.
"I have walked this road to the northwest at least ten times, but this is the first time I have encountered such a large number of wolves. If it weren't for you and your wife tonight, I'm afraid all of us would have died in this wilderness."
Bu Wei had no intention of complimenting the two men. After all, he knew his soldiers best.
Gu Yanchen just nodded to Bu Wei. When he was about to go back to see his family, he heard the heart-wrenching cry of his fifth sister-in-law Fang Jin.
"Xuan'er, Xuan'er is missing..."
The couple looked at each other and ran back quickly. Bu Wei also hurried back with the officials.
Before they even got there, they heard Madam Gu crying, "I should have held Xuan'er back. It's all my fault for being useless!"
"Mom, don't cry first, what happened?"
"Two wolves tore the tent apart. After we escaped, my eldest brother and Uncle Chen led the way. One of the wolves took advantage of the chaos and bit my mother's leg and dragged her out. When we picked up stones to throw at her, we ignored Xuan'er who was behind..."
After the second sister-in-law finished speaking, Old Madam Gu burst into tears in grief.
"My Xuan'er, my life is worthless, why would you ignore Xuan'er just to save me...
It’s all my fault, I deserved to be carried away by the wolf…”
