Chapter 11: Wolves Attack
It is still early spring, everything has not yet recovered, and poisonous insects and poisonous snakes have not yet come out to move, but it has saved Liu Wei a lot of heart.
The two of them walked up the hillside with difficulty, until they reached the top of the mountain, and they could not find an open place.
The trees in the forest are very dense, but fortunately, the canopy of most of the trees is bare, and the sunlight can penetrate into the forest, and from the position of the sun, Liu Wei can also discern the general direction, so as not to get lost in the forest.
Going up to the top of the mountain, Liu Wei looked at the sky.
The sun had risen to mid-heaven, and it was almost noon. Liu Wei, who hadn't eaten since the night before, also felt a little hungry at this time.
He turned his head and looked down the mountain, the dense mountains and forests were at his feet, and the vast mountains gave him and Tang Ji the best protection, even if Dong Zhuo had guessed that they would enter the mountain at this time, he would have nothing to do with them.
Glancing at the foot of the mountain, he said to Tang Ji: "The forest here is too dense, and it is inevitable that there will be fierce beasts, go a little further, and go to an open place under the hillside, and I will look for something to eat." ”
Tang Ji answered, followed behind Liu Wei, and the two barely stayed at the top of the mountain, and continued to follow the road he had opened down the other side of the mountain.
The speed of descent was naturally faster than that of going up, and they went down the gentle slope all the way, and before it was afternoon, the two of them came to the foot of the mountain on the other side of the mountain.
Out of the forest, Liu Wei saw an open field not far ahead. On the open ground, there are messy stones everywhere, and one of them is more than a person high, lying horizontally on the open ground, which is very eye-catching.
About five or six paces away from the stone, there was a big tree. This tree is different from the tall trees in the forest, it is a locust that does not like to live in groups, with a thick trunk and a not very tall body.
The view here is broad, and in case of danger, there are boulders and ancient acacia to rely on, even if Liu Biandang chose this place as a place to rest.
Walking up to the open field, he helped Tang Ji to sit down next to the big rock, and then he untied the rope that tied them to them, and said to Tang Ji: "I will go back to the forest to find food, you wait here, don't run around, if I come back and can't find you, it will be trouble." ”
Sitting on the ground by Liu Bian's shoulders, Tang Ji looked up at Liu Bian, who was leaning over and standing in front of him, and nodded heavily.
After setting up Tang Ji, Liu Wei walked towards the forest with a firewood knife in one hand, a long stick in the other, and the rope that had previously connected the two people wrapped around his waist.
Entering the forest, he cut down thorns and branches in front of him, and marked the trees he passed along the way, so as not to find the wrong direction when he turned back.
Although it is still early spring and many animals are not active, there are definitely small animals such as hares and pheasants in the forest.
After walking into the forest, Liu Wei had not seen any trace of pheasants and hares, but there was a sound of "rustling" in his ears.
Turning his head to look at the place where the noise was coming from, he saw that not far away the bushes were shaking violently, as if many large animals were passing through them.
The animals that walked through the forest ran very fast, probably spotting Liu Wei, and some of the animals walking through the bushes stopped for a moment, as if they were secretly observing him.
The animal that led the way at the front did not stop at all, and continued to jump towards the outside of the forest, and only then did a few that stopped near Liu Wei turn around and follow away.
Looking at the group of animals that were gradually moving away, Liu Bian's heart was suddenly startled, and his face changed a little in an instant.
Although the bushes blocked his view and prevented him from seeing what was running past, the animals that had lingered beside him had sent him a message that it was a pack of predators! Otherwise, he would never have been seen as a human and would not have been afraid, but there would have been signs of an attack on him.
Tang Ji was resting in the place where the group of animals were going to go, thinking of Tang Ji, Liu Wei didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the forest along the previously made mark.
As soon as he rushed out of the forest, Liu Wei saw a group of wild wolves surrounding Tang Ji, who had already stood up with his back against the big rock.
Her back was tightly pressed against the big stone, Tang Ji pressed her palms on the stone, her feet trembled violently, and she looked at the wolves surrounding her with horror. In the deep palace in the past, where had she seen so many wild wolves! I was already scared by this group of wild wolves and lost half of my soul.
"Get out of here!" A vicious wolf bowed down low, kicked his two hind legs suddenly, and jumped up to Tang Ji, who was standing with his back against the big stone, Liu Wei, who had already rushed behind the wolves, shouted, holding a long wooden stick, rushed through the middle of the wolves, and the hand holding the stick was handed forward, and the stick poked at the wild wolf that jumped in the air.
Seeing that the wild wolf was about to pounce on Tang Ji, the wooden stick in Liu Wei's hand poked at its body impartially at this time.
"Boom", the waist ribs were stabbed by a wooden stick, the wolf was in pain, let out two miserable snorts, rolled in the air twice, and fell heavily to the ground, and then it got up with a bone, ran back a few steps with its tail between its legs, turned around and stared at Liu Wei who was already holding a wooden stick in front of Tang Ji with its slightly green eyes.
What was stabbed out of the wolf by Liu Wei was a wild wolf slightly smaller than the wolf dog, and in terms of appearance, it was born a little similar to the wolf dog, but the fur on its body was gray-white, and a thick tail was also hanging low to the wolf.
Throwing off the wooden stick and pulling out the firewood knife from his waist, protecting Tang Ji behind him, Liu Wei's eyes didn't dare to move away from the wolves that he and Tang Ji were approaching from all around.
With one arm around his back, wrapping around Tang Ji's slender waist and the other holding a firewood knife, Liu Wei slowly retreated towards the nearby ancient acacia tree.
The wolf howl stopped, and the largest wolf took two steps back, while the rest of the wolves stepped forward one after another, closing in on Liu Wei and Tang Ji.
Although he had never had the experience of confronting wolves before, Liu Wei knew very well that wolves were extremely ferocious beasts, and once they attacked, all wolves would rush up, and he and Tang Ji would definitely die in the belly of the wolf today.
Protecting Tang Ji, he slowly retreated towards Gu Huai, and the wolves followed them step by step.
Holding a firewood knife, Liu Wei glanced at the Gu Huai behind him with the corner of his eye when he looked sideways at a few wolves on the side.
Gu Huai was behind them, and Tang Ji's back was almost up to the trunk.
"Climb on my back!" His eyes stayed on the wolves that were approaching them, Liu Weihuan's arm behind his back lowered slightly, supporting Tang Ji's buttocks, and his body bowed slightly, and he commanded Tang Ji behind him in an unquestionable tone.
Tang Ji, who was frightened by the wolves, wrapped her arms around Liu Wei's neck and lay on his back.
Holding Tang Ji's buttocks with one hand, Liu Wei twitched hard, spoke very quickly but continued unusually clearly: "Lean against the tree, stand on my shoulder, and climb to the tree quickly." ”
The wolves were so close that Tang Ji was trembling all over his body in fear. But Liu Wei's hurried tone told her that now was not the time to be afraid.
According to Liu Bian's instructions, Tang Ji had tears in her eyes, her silver teeth were biting, and her body climbed up towards Liu Bian's shoulder with the help of the trunk.
In the past, Tang Ji lived in the palace, and he had never engaged in manual labor at all, let alone received professional training for survival in the wild, so it was naturally impossible for his climbing skills to be as skilled as Liu Wei expected.
She clumsily climbed towards Liu Bian's shoulder with the support of the tree trunk, while Liu Bian held a firewood knife in one hand, staring at the wolves surrounding them in the middle, and helping Tang Ji with the other hand to help Tang Ji who was climbing towards his shoulder.
Pouting his hips, kneeling on Liu Bian's shoulders with both knees, Tang Ji pressed Liu Bian's head with both hands, wanting to stand up straight, but he was afraid of falling, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
Tang Ji's weight is not heavy, if it is the body of two thousand years later, Liu Wei can hold her to the tree with one hand, but now his body is also very thin, and his two shoulders support Tang Ji's weight, he still feels a little strained.
"Lean against the tree!" Liu Wei stepped back a little more, feeling Tang Ji's back completely leaning against the tree, he said to Tang Ji who was kneeling on his shoulder: "Hold the branch with your hand, and I will whip you up." ”
Hearing his words, Tang Ji leaned his back against the tree and stood up tremblingly. When she stood up, her legs were shaking.
Holding a firewood knife and confronting the wolves, Liu Bian's shoulders still had to bear the pressure brought to him by Tang Ji's trembling legs, and he was a little distressed.
Finally, Tang Ji stood up with her back against the trunk of the tree, she grabbed a thick branch above her head with both hands, and said to Liu Wei, who was holding her back, "I caught it." ”
She said that she grabbed the branch, and Liu Wei supported one of her little feet with her free hand, and said to her while pushing it up, "Hurry up and climb up." ”
With enough strength to feed, with the help of Liu Wei, Tang Ji's arms were put on the branches.
Standing at her feet, Liu Wei's empty hand was pushing upwards hard, and Tang Ji was also trying to climb up the tree.
The wolves were getting closer and closer, and the wolf at the front was only five or six steps away from Liu Wei.
A pair of eyes glowing with green light stared at Liu Wei deadly, and the wolves let out a whining roar.
Finally, Tang Ji climbed up the thick branch, but her body coordination was really poor, after climbing up, her abdomen was resting on the branch, and the whole person hung on it, her little face was flushed, and her expression was very uncomfortable.
Tang Ji got on the branch, Liu Wei reached out and untied the rope tied around his waist, holding a firewood knife in one hand and the rope in the other, shook it a few times, and threw it towards the branch adjacent to Tang Ji.
The rope circled around the branch a few times, and Liu Wei faced the wolves, reached out and pulled the rope hanging from the branch.
Wrapped around the branches, the rope is very strong, and it is no problem to withstand a person climbing to the top.
