Chapter 270 - 270 Incoming Wolves (1)
Therefore, each family brought some gifts to visit Gu Chengrui. Some gave eggs; some gave black noodles; some gave dried vegetables and cured meat; even the patriarch, the village chief, and the Tian and Wang families had sent a hen that laid eggs.
Zhou Ying accepted them all without any hesitation. Of course, she also returned the goodwill they received, giving each visiting family mung bean cakes and small snacks.
In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. Gu Chengrui’s injuries were finally almost healed.
During these seven days, Gu Chengxi studied while accompanying Gu Chengrui.
Zhou Ying was relieved to see this. So, in addition to making lunch at noon, she spent the rest of her time making clothes and quilt covers; she even learned to make shoes from Cister Tian.
Although life in the village was still tiring, it gradually stabilized.
On this night, everyone was sleeping soundly when suddenly, a wave of rapid gongs and drums sounded, waking everyone up from their drcams.
“The wolves are coming down the mountain!” Someone shouted. “The wolves are coming down the mountain! All the men, wake up to defend against the wolves!”
This shout immediately woke everyone up. Since most of them were scared, the village was filled with crying and shouting.
At the same time, Gu Chengrui also heard the shouts. He got up, put on his clothes, and said to Zhou Ying,” I’ll go out and look at the situation. When I get out, lock the door. Don’t open the door unless I call you.”
“No, you haven’t fully recovered from your injuries. I’ll go with you.” Zhou Ying shook her head.
Gu Chengrui hesitated for a moment and thought of her interspace. He finally nodded and said, “Don’t do anything stupid later. You must follow me closely, and if something goes wrong, quickly enter your interspace.
“By the way, get me a crossbow and ten arrows.”
“You be careful too. Don’t get too close if you have nothing to do.” After Zhou Ying reminded him, she took out the things for him and took out a large bag of tear-inducing powder, two bags of knockout powder, and a slingshot made of cow tendon.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui was worried and gave her a few more instructions. The couple then went out together.
At that time, the outside was already brightly lit, and the streets were full of people with torches, most of them rushing to the foot of the mountain.
The two of them looked at each other and immediately followed.
When they arrived, they found that the men and the wolves were facing each other across a trench, with more than ten dying wolves in the trench.
At the same time, the smell of chili was so strong that they all sneezed; the wolves were obviously not feeling well either.
The alpha, in particular, stood restlessly on the mountainside; it was undecided on whether to attack or not.
The patriarch saw Zhou Ying and laughed, “Zhou Ying, what kind of powder is this? It’s more effective than fire. It’s acting as if it were the wolves’ nemesis.”
“Indeed. I’m afraid our river village would be finished tonight if we didn’t have this thing.” Qian Shisan chimed in.
“It’s great that it’s effective. But there are quite a few wolves, so I don’t know how long it can last.” Zhou Ying looked at the bright, green eyes everywhere on the mountain and replied with her scalp tingling.
After Qian Shisan heard this, he immediately said worriedly, ‘Tve taken a rough look just now. There are at least 60 to 70 of them. I can only hope that they retreat as soon as possible.”
“Wolves are patient. I’m afraid they won’t leave so easily.” Gu Chengrui said.
After that, he handed the tear-inducing powder to Uncle Qian Shisan and said, “Divide them into small bags and throw them at the area with more wolves and test the effect.”
“Thanks.” After Qian Shisan smelled it, he immediately took it with a smile and distributed it to everyone.
After separating and wrapping them up, he found a few strong men and threw them to the opposite side of the trench, also throwing up some trees..
