The digging of the trenches was in full swing, and Song Zhuiyan and Zhong Qingyi went into the deep mountains to hunt every day. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, and the village had been peaceful for the past few days without any wild animals entering the village.
That day, two-thirds of the pit had been dug, and it would be fully completed in a few more days. Just as Zhong Qingyi and Song Zhuiyan were about to breathe a sigh of relief, something happened that very night.
Around 1 AM, when Song Tantan was fast asleep, she suddenly heard someone knocking on her door. She groggily crawled out of bed, still a little disoriented.
"Song Tantan, open the door for me! Hurry up, wake up! Are you a pig? I'm knocking so loudly, can't you hear me?" Ye Moxun was so angry he almost kicked her. Even his uncle was woken up by his noise.
When asked if he was sleepwalking, why he was knocking on the Song family's door in the middle of the night, and whether he was craving something, they asked him if he was sleepwalking.
"Ah Xun, what's wrong? You can tell your uncle if there's anything wrong. Let's go home and sleep, and not disturb Miss Song and Tan Tan." Zhong Qingyi tried to pull him away.
Ye Moxun waved his hand away and said with a stern face, "Sleep my ass! Are you about to die? Boy who cried wolf!"
Zhong Qingyi's expression hardened, and she listened carefully, but after a long while, she did not hear any wolf howls.
"Hurry, hurry, something terrible must have happened. Knocking on the door in the middle of the night, this is really bad." Song Tantan was quick; she dressed in a few seconds and shouted for her aunt to get up quickly while she ran to open the door.
"What happened?"
"Wolves, wolves are coming, come inside and talk." Ye Moxun wanted to say that three packs of wolves would be entering the village tonight, but when he saw his uncle listening intently out of the corner of his eye, he stopped himself and didn't dare to be too specific.
Once inside, he briefly explained the situation. Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan both knew what had happened; the system must have suddenly alerted him in the middle of the night that a pack of wolves was coming.
Judging from his seemingly unhurried sitting there, he probably won't be here for a while, so we should still prepare.
"We need to inform the villagers. Your uncle is entrusting this important task to you." Hurry up and go. He still has things to say to Tantan and the others, things you shouldn't hear.
Zhong Qingyi hesitated, feeling that A-Xun had deliberately sent him away, and why he came to the Song family first when something happened, without consulting him first.
"This wolf pack is really coming into the village. Have you heard any wolf howls?" This question was asked to Song Zhuiyan.
Unexpectedly, Song Zhuiyan retorted, "How could it be fake? This is a matter of life and death. A-Xun is your nephew. Don't you believe him?" He was bound to a broken system, and that was all the skills he had.
system:"……"
"Uncle Zhong, we can't delay any longer. Go find Village Chief Lin and have him beat the drums and gongs to warn everyone." Song Tantan paused here, wondering if beating the drums and gongs would scare away the wolves or only anger them and make them more ferocious.
Zhong Qingyi was sent away, and he was very depressed, feeling that his father was hiding something from him.
"How long until the wolf pack reaches the village?" Song Tantan asked.
"About 15 minutes."
"They always notify us at the last minute." Song Tantan was extremely disgusted with the broken system, but she didn't have time to complain now.
After discussing it, Ye Moxun stayed at home and was not allowed to run around, while Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan took the initiative to try to stop the wolves before they entered the village.
"It's too dangerous to see the road at night," Ye Moxun disagreed with their decision to take the risk.
His idea was that if everyone gathered together, lit torches, and beat drums and gongs, they should be able to scare the wolves away.
“Three packs, about fifty wolves in total, how can they be so easily scared away? What if we encounter a stupid wolf that insists on charging at us?” Song Zhuiyan felt that they couldn’t just defend without attacking; that would be too passive.
"Tantan and I will go check first. If we really can't find an opportunity, we'll hide in the space immediately if there's danger. But I believe we'll definitely succeed." The safest and fastest way to bring the wolf pack into the space is to capture the king first. As long as the wolf king is captured, the entire wolf pack will be captured at the same time, and none of them will be able to escape.
Seeing that Ye Moxun still wanted to say something, Song Tantan told him to stop dawdling, "Your aunt and I will take you to Lin Village, and then you can go in by yourself." They then went to greet the wolf pack.
Knowing he couldn't persuade them, Ye Moxun could only nod and walk together toward Lin Fuhai's house.
"Auntie, I heard wolves howling." A quarter of an hour later, Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan had reached the entrance to the deep mountains, and the two quickened their pace.
At the same time, the sound of gongs resounded throughout the village, and flames rose everywhere. All the villagers were called to a halt. The children were surrounded in the middle, followed by the women, and then the men on the outermost edge. The adults all held torches in their hands.
Several bonfires were lit nearby, illuminating the village.
"There really are wolves! I heard them howling!" Those who had been somewhat skeptical moments before were now filled with horror, their voices trembling as they spoke.
"Stop talking nonsense, grab your weapons and be quick-witted." Lin Fuhai's expression was very solemn. After Zhong Qingyi came over and said it, he believed it to a large extent, because it was his choice to believe that saved the lives of everyone in the village during the last mudslide.
Just now, we were banging gongs and drums to wake up the villagers, and a lot of brainless idiots kept grumbling and complaining. They won't learn their lesson until they see the coffin. Now they know how powerful we are, right?
Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan each wore a large miner's lamp on their heads, and all they could see was a bright light. The pack of wolves, their eyes glowing green, bared their teeth, and their fur stood on end.
The blinding light forced the cautious and cunning wolf pack to stop in their tracks. This was only one pack; the other two packs seemed to be on different routes. After a long standoff and some probing, the wolf king made a decision. With a howl, the pack quickly surrounded Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan.
Song Zhuiyan and Song Tantan stood close together, not acting rashly. Their target was the wolves, and it was best for Song Tantan to handle this task, as it would be safest for her to collect them, whether at the supermarket or back in her hometown.
If you put it in the supermarket, all its activities will be frozen, and if you release it again, it will become mentally impaired. If you put it in your hometown, the activities will stop immediately, so it's very safe.
If Song Zhuiyan comes to collect them, the consequences are uncertain. If the wolf pack can still roam freely and eat all the big white pigs in the space pigpen, then we'll suffer a huge loss.
The wolf pack drew closer and closer, the encirclement gradually shrinking, and a battle seemed imminent.
"Auntie, let's hide inside together, and then find a chance to catch the wolf king." As soon as Song Tantan finished speaking, she pulled her aunt into the space.
The surroundings returned to loneliness and darkness.
The wolves were startled, clearly unable to react to what was happening before them. They all looked at the wolf king, who was also stunned. His eerie green eyes were fixed on the spot where the two had just stood. He took a few steps forward and then stopped, sensing some kind of conspiracy. The wolf king's keen intuition told him that he could not get close; it was dangerous.
"Tsk, if the wolf king doesn't come over, how am I supposed to subdue it? It's too cunning. No wonder it can be king. But no matter how cunning it is, it can't escape my grasp." Song Tantan made a boastful remark, seemingly to encourage himself.
At this point, the wolf king was still three meters away from where she had been standing. Then he stopped and waited for about a minute without making any progress. Moreover, it was clear that the wolf king was not interested in finding out why the two of them had suddenly disappeared like ghosts.
Even the most cunning wolf king is just livestock and can't think too much. Since the prey has disappeared, Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan are indeed prey in the eyes of the wolf pack. They should continue their advance and eat all the humans outside the mountain.
