Chapter 262 - 262 The Wolves Are Here
On the other hand, Zhou Ying used a large plastic bucket to fill up with water from her interspace three times, watering her sweet potato field.
After that, she took out 20 purple perilla plants from a corner and planted them in the field.
She locked up and brought Er Zhuang up the mountain.
After arriving at the mountain, Zhou Ying was specifically looking for wild vegetables, especially dandelion and woad. If something really happened, these two things could save lives.
A woman and her dog shuttled through the mountain.
Suddenly, Er Zhuang started barking. Zhou Ying immediately turned her head and saw him chasing a rabbit.
Zhou Ying shook her head and continued picking up the woad roots. However, Er Zhuang still didn’t come back.
She had no choice but to get up and search for herbs as she chased after her dog. She didn’t have to go far before she heard Er Zhuang’s low growl.
Just as she was about to call out, she saw something moving in the grass. She thought it was a rabbit and just shut her mouth.
However, Zhou Ying was shocked when she saw two wolves leaping out of the grass and pouncing on Er Zhuang.
Fortunately, the dog was quick-witted and didn’t fight the wolves head-on. Instead, he turned around and ran in the opposite direction of her.
Zhou Ying’s heart pounded. She immediately took out a crossbow from her interspace, loaded an arrow with knockout powder, and shot it at a wolf from behind.
“Awoooo!” A blood-curdling howl was heard as the wolf was shot in the hind leg and fell to the ground.
Er Zhuang and the remaining wolf hoard the cry and immediately turned their heads. The two animals immediately reacted when they saw the wolf on the ground with Zhou Ying over it.
The wolf raised its head and howled to call its companions while Er Zhuang pounced on it.
At the same time, Zhou Ying also took the opportunity to shoot another arrow.
The wolf wanted to dodge when it heard the arrow’s whistling sound, but Er Zhuang didn’t give it a chance. He blocked the wolf’s path of retreat.
Thus, although the wolf managed to avoid the fatal blow to its throat, it still brushed past one of its legs, and blood immediately flowed.
As soon as the smell of blood came out, the wolf’s ferocity was stimulated, and it turned around and pounced on Zhou Ying.
Er Zhuang stopped it from doing so. He didn’t directly confront the wolf but instead began encircling it. After a few moments, the wolf fell to the ground with a thud under the effect of the knockout powder.
Er Zhuang paused for a moment, then lowered his head and bit it a few times. After making sure the wolf wasn’t moving anymore, he wagged his tail and ran to Zhou Ying’s side. He ran around her in circles and asked for praise.
“Well done. I’ll give you an extra meal tonight.
“But we must leave quickly, or else we’ll be surrounded by more wolves. That’ll really put our lives in danger.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she quickly killed the two wolves with her boning knife and threw them into her interspace.
She then scattered a large bag of tear-inducing powder nearby to interfere with the wolves’ sense of smell. Once all that was done, she quickly ran down the mountain with her dog.
Not long after, the howls of wolves could be heard from behind. The number of wolves in this pack was quite large.
Er Zhuang, who had been strolling, was frightened by the howls. He didn’t dare to play anymore and quickened his pace down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, Zhou Ying saw the patriarch with a group of strong men guarding the foot of the mountain.
The patriarch saw her coming down the mountain and asked, “Zhou Ying, are you alright?”
“I’m fine. I ran down the mountain as soon as I heard wolves howling.” Zhou Ying shook her head.
“That’s good. I haven’t heard a wolf howl in the outer area of this mountain for many years. What an unexpected…” At that point, the patriarch looked at her. “Don’t go up the mountain anytime soon. Wolves move in packs, and it will be dangerous if you encounter them.”
“I know, but we can’t keep guarding against them.. Why don’t we dig some
