Chapter 251 247: After Night
"Brother Wenhua, do you still have the strength? Get us some branches. This fire can't be extinguished. We haven't eaten, our body temperature can't be controlled, and we have spent so much energy. If there is no fire, we may fall asleep once we fall asleep. will freeze to death here."
"Okay, I'll do something."
"me and you togather."
Wang Tianxin struggled and went out with Wu Wenhua.
Wu Qiancai's injured arm was torn by wolves earlier, and he bled for half the night. He had already lost a little too much blood.
When there were wolves, I endured all my strength and persevered. Now that the danger is gone, and my body and mind relax, I just collapsed on the ground like Wang Tianxiao, unable to move.
Wang Tianxiao and him looked at each other, and they both smiled.
"Brother Qiancai, you can't fall asleep. After a short rest, we will go down the mountain."
"Good boss."
Wu Qiancai agreed, but he still wanted to close his eyes subconsciously. He felt very sleepy, and he didn't even have the strength to hold on to his eyelids.
Wang Tianxiao saw it, slightly impatient, knowing that this was a sign of exhaustion.
He struggled to climb to Wu Qiancai's side, and found that his arm was still bleeding, and the clothes on his body were completely soaked in blood, and were frozen by the cold weather, forming hard blood ice.
Wang Tianxiao gritted his teeth, tore off a piece of the close-fitting vest, folded it into a ribbon, and helped Wu Qiancai bind the wound, so that the blood would not flow like this for the time being.
It is also due to Wu Qiancai's good health and strength that he has been able to persist until now. If other ordinary people would have collapsed long ago.
Wang Tianxiao was very grateful and ashamed.
Speaking of it, although we have been together for a year, we are basically like family members.
But in the final analysis, it is just an employment relationship.
He can't let others suffer with him, let alone fall into such a crisis.
Although he didn't know there was such a danger.
When we go back, give them some more salary.
Although it is not a life-saving grace, it is almost the same. We all have experienced life and death together, so naturally we can't compare it with the past.
He can't let these kind and righteous people be chilled.
It is to let them all know that as long as people are kind in their hearts, as long as they give, they will get more things.
After a while, Wu Wenhua and Wang Tianxin came back with firewood.
The three of them set up the fire again.
The flame slowly burned again.
The surrounding area is much warmer.
Wang Tianxiao burned his coat earlier in order to suppress the fire, so at the moment he was wearing the least clothes on his body. Although he was scorched by the fire, he was still shivering with cold.
Wang Tianxin saw it, untied his coat, and said to him: "Brother, come on, let's put on one to cover the wind, so it won't be so cold."
Wang Tianxiao smiled, "No need, I'll just stick to it. Get dressed quickly and don't freeze yourself."
"It's okay, I'm in such good health, how could it be possible to freeze, besides, isn't this the same as when we were young?"
Wang Tianxiao was stunned.
Then with a slight smile, he got into his brother's clothes.
Like a raincoat, the brothers carried a coat on their heads.
Wang Tianxin was talking about something that happened when the two were young.
At that time, Tianxin was very naughty, his mother didn’t let him go out to play, so he just wanted to sneak out, but when he came back, the irritable Zhang Yufeng wouldn’t let the child in.
Wang Tianxin could only shiver outside the door in winter.
At this time, Wang Tianxiao saw that he could not let his younger brother come back, so he would run out with his clothes, and then huddled with his younger brother at the entrance of the alleyway in the pit yard to keep warm.
This is the case many times.
These things, if Wang Tianxin didn't mention it suddenly, Wang Tianxiao would have forgotten.
What happened 40 or 50 years ago is another trivial matter.
"Are you scared?"
Wang Tianxiao flipped the wolf legs on the stick and asked his brother with a smile.
Wolf meat tastes like it, it has a faint earthy smell, not so delicious...
But it’s really hard to say whether it’s delicious or not.
Wang Tianxiao gradually realized that what he thinks is not tasty may be delicious to others, so it is really hard to define.
And the barbecue mainly depends on the seasoning to enhance the taste.
Without seasoning, all the meat will not taste good.
But now is not the same as before.
After eating at noon yesterday, everyone has not eaten anything until now. Even if they stay quietly, they will be hungry, not to mention fighting intensively for half a day and night.
Even if you have the power of the prehistoric, you will try your best.
At this time, as long as it is edible, they will find it very fragrant, so they don't care about the taste.
There is no such condition.
Fortunately, there is nothing else, and now the wolves and jackals that have fallen all over the ground can be eaten.
Because the food of jackals is very complicated, it is generally a bit dangerous to eat, and there are many parasitic diseases. It is not recommended to eat directly roasted like this, as wolves are different.
Just set it up and bake it.
Four wolf legs, one for each person.
He gnawed with relish.
"It would be nice to have a sip of wine at this time."
Wang Tianxiao said quietly.
He doesn't really like drinking, but for no reason, he wants to drink some wine right now.
He thought of those Jianghu characters in martial arts novels, who ate with pride, saying that if a good man walks in the Jianghu, he should eat meat and drink heavily, without the slightest gesture.
Life on the edge of a knife, if you have wine today, you will be drunk today, how can you control the flood tomorrow.
It seems that Taiguo is a little more free, but it also reveals a chicness.
Sure enough, the world of rivers and lakes is the ultimate romance for every man.
"Give."
Suddenly something was thrown over.
Wang Tianxiao subconsciously reached out to pick it up. It turned out to be a small wine sac made of some kind of animal skin. He picked it up and shook it. There was still some wine in it, not a lot.
He looked at Wu Wenhua, but Wu Wenhua smiled naively, "Sometimes I'm too tired from work, so I just take a sip."
"Good stuff, Brother Wenhua, you are my savior."
Wang Tianxiao lifted the lid of the wine bag, smelled it, and found that it was very common Qingcheng Baijiu, with a very high alcohol content, more than 60 degrees.
And it’s the kind of bulk cargo.
This kind of bulk wine is generally because of the rough filtration process, it still tastes a bit sloppy, and the degree is not very stable. Sometimes it is very high, close to 70 degrees, and sometimes it is lower, less than 50 degrees.
So when ordinary people drink this kind of wine, it is a bit like opening a blind box for later generations.
Type it out, usually after smelling it, or taking a sip, you will sigh: "Today's wine is good, it's strong, and I made a profit."
Or say: "This is a ghost wine, it can fade out like a bird, it's a generosity."
However, no matter whether it is a profit or a loss, it is still drinking and drinking.
No one said that it was a loss, and they had to find trouble in selling wine, and they would not say that they had made a profit. It was really a benefit to selling wine.
It’s just a simple exclamation.
This wine is already sold cheaply, you can drink a glass for ten cents, and a pot of wine is only one or two yuan.
What kind of bicycle do you need?
As long as there is something to drink.
Many times, people in Qingcheng drink like a ritual.
It doesn’t depend on the quality and degree of wine, whether it’s cheap or expensive, as long as it’s drinkable anyway.
This is also everyone's life wisdom and basic logic.
Make do with it, as long as you can get by.
The past day is a day, the past year is a year, and the past life is a lifetime.
If you really can't make it through, then wait for the next life.
Wang Tianxiao took a sip of the wine, and it really tasted very strong, and it rushed directly from his throat to his head in an instant, as if he was rushing straight into the sky.
He felt the strength a little bit, and shouted loudly: "It's cool!"
Then handed the wine pouch to the younger brother beside him, "Come on, Tianxin, would you like to have a sip too?"
"Didn't you let me drink, bro?"
Wang Tianxiao said before that he heard people say that you can’t drink alcohol while studying, or you’ll lose your mind.
So Wang Tianxiao told Wang Tianxin to wait until he was eighteen before drinking alcohol.
But tonight, he felt that there was no need to control it to death.
This environment, this state, maybe this sip of wine can bring my brother's personality to a new stage.
"Just a small sip, it's okay."
Wang Tianxin took the wine bag, opened it, sniffed it under his nose, and frowned, "Brother, is this good?"
Wang Tianxiao was stunned, and then laughed.
Wu Wenhua and Wu Qiancai also laughed.
Because of the pain, the two even laughed and coughed.
"There is nothing good in wine. The wine in the world has no taste. What has taste is the human heart. If you are happy, the wine you drink will taste mellow and rich, but if you are sad and angry, the wine will becomes a bitter taste,
So, whether the wine tastes good or not depends on your mood when you drink it. You can only know if you really try it. "
"Then I really drank it?"
"Drink."
Wang Tianxin cheered himself up and took a sip.
Immediately his expression became very strange.
The face was completely shrunk together, like a kind of bag with a tight mouth, and the rope was suddenly tightened.
Looks fun and funny.
He almost desperately screwed on the lid of the wine bag, and threw it to Wang Tianxiao beside him. Grinning his teeth, he looked at his brother Wang Tianxiao with resentful eyes.
Wang Tianxiao couldn't stop laughing at this.
This guy, just by this expression, can play a laugh.
Can make people laugh to death.
"How does it taste?" Wang Tianxiao asked.
"...Brother, I swear, I will never drink alcohol in my life. If I take another sip of alcohol, I will be a dog."
Wang Tianxin almost gritted his teeth.
"haha ok."
How many vows can really stand the test of time.
Most of the time, it's just a joke.
There are always various situations that make people have to violate the oath, or even walk on the opposite side of the oath.
Those who swear to be good all their lives may end up being worse than anyone else.
And those couples who make vows to each other, once they break up, they will hate it to death.
It is said that they were friends who cut their necks, but many people cut their friends' necks.
A filial child who promises to stay with his parents for the rest of his life, once he meets his sweetheart, he will leave with him mercilessly.
Therefore, it is good to keep good expectations during the time of swearing.
"Why is the wine so bad? I think you are still drinking all day long. You are really making yourself guilty."
Wang Tianxin slowly dispelled the smell of alcohol in his mouth, and complained.
Wu Wenhua smiled, but did not speak.
Wang Tianxiao said: "Is it bad to drink? It depends on the person. If you think it is bad to drink, it may be delicious to others. For example, you like to eat tomatoes, but I think tomatoes are particularly bad. , I feel like vomiting when I smell it, so do you think tomatoes are delicious or not?"
"Of course... the tomatoes are delicious, but the wine is not tomatoes."
"It's not the same, it's just a taste."
Wang Tianxiao patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and said: "Besides, people are like this. We live in the world, and not everything we do can be done exactly what we want. It's like you don't like reading, but if you don't If you read books, you don't have knowledge. Even if you see many things, you still can't understand them.
Another example, most parents in the world would rather work **** their own, but leave all the good things to their children, so why don't they choose a more comfortable life mode? Isn't this kind of comfort just like something that tastes good, but hard work and suffering just taste bad? "
Wang Tianxin was stunned.
He lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Wang Tianxiao saw that his effect had been achieved, so he didn't say any more.
He looks only a few years older than his younger brother, but in his heart he treats his younger brother like a child.
My younger brother has a restless element in his personality. If he doesn't get rid of it, he will have big problems sooner or later.
Since I planned to take care of him from the beginning of my life and let him be an upright and good man, I need to slowly educate him from the little things in daily life.
People's character, once formed, is difficult to change.
All that can be changed is nothing more than the control of character.
The character determines the habit, and the habit affects the behavior, and the behavior finally leads to various results.
If you don't want to have bad results, you must have a good character from the beginning.
Or at least have a healthy personality.
When the sky was about to dawn, there was a chirping sound from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw that it was a golden eagle hovering in the sky.
Hastily stretched out his hand to greet, the golden eagle swooped down from the air and landed beside Wang Tianxiao.
Looking at the corpses of jackals on the ground, the golden eagle was also a little dazed, and its feathers stood on end in an instant, looking very nervous.
Wang Tianxiao patted her on the head lightly.
This guy may have never seen such a big battle before. Fear is not necessarily true, accidents are still possible.
It's like even if a person can easily strangle an ant to death, if tens of thousands of ants crawl over at the same time, it must still be a bit scary.
The golden eagle slowly calmed down under Wang Tianxiao's comfort.
She spread her wings again and flew in the direction she came from.
It is estimated that people have been shaken.
Most birds do not have night vision, with the exception of a few falcons.
Birds such as eagles and eagles have weak vision at night, that is, they can distinguish clear obstacles, but it is basically difficult to see things on the ground clearly.
So, even if the golden eagles came out to look for them at night, they probably wouldn't be able to find them.
It is also easy to have problems by yourself.
It was not easy for her to be released as the vanguard just after dawn.
"Wait a little longer, I think the people looking for us are on the way. The golden eagle will bring them here soon."
Wang Tianxiao encouraged the three of them again.
After seeing the golden eagle, the three of them could also figure out this truth, so their eyes began to glow.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, a group of people appeared on the mountain road.
There are at least thirty or forty people.
The golden eagle was flying at low altitude in front, leading the crowd towards the four of them quickly.
Wang Tianxiao found out that most of these people were workers in his own village, and the one at the front was his wife Li Yali.
At this time, everyone has come nearby.
Seeing the corpse of Cailang on the ground, everyone's eyes widened in shock, completely speechless.
They had never seen so many wolves and jackals in their entire life.
It is estimated that the scene in front of them is an indelible memory for them all their lives.
Although Li Yali was also afraid, she was more concerned about the safety of Wang Tianxiao and the others. She trotted to Wang Tianxiao's side in a hurry, took off her coat and wrapped it around Wang Tianxiao's body, and asked with concern, "Shopkeeper, are you alright?"
Li Yali is more than 1.7 meters tall, and women's coats are already long, so it doesn't look too small when wrapped around Wang Tianxiao.
Wang Tianxiao smiled, seeing his wife's hair covered with frost, knowing that she must have been looking for it for a while, and suddenly felt distressed, "I'm fine, why are you here?"
"Didn't you come back last night? We said we would wait and see at first, but we didn't see anyone in the middle of the night, so we hurriedly asked everyone to look for it together."
"Where's the child?"
"It's okay, the child is being watched by his fourth aunt."
"Oh, is the fourth child here too?"
"Well, he took another path and brought some people with him."
"Oh, I'm fine." Wang Tianxiao said again.
"That's good," Li Yali turned her eyes to Wang Tianxin who was next to her again, "Tianxin, how are you?"
"I'm fine too, sister-in-law."
"That's good, you guys are really worried about me... Brother Qian Caihua, are you injured?"
It was only then that she noticed Wu Qiancai's arm.
"It's okay, I just got bitten by those bastards."
Then hurry down the mountain and get a rabies vaccine!
Wang Tianxiao also nodded: "That's right, Brother Qiancai has to go back and get vaccinated quickly."
He supported the stone and stood up, and ordered two people to come over to support Wu Qiancai.
Although the arm was injured, Wu Qiancai's face was a little pale and his body lost strength because of the high tension all night, sitting here and freezing in the middle of the night, and he lost a lot of blood.
The two people who came over wanted to support Wu Qiancai, but found that his legs were weak. In the end, they had no choice but to cut some small trees and branches to make a simple stretcher, and sent Wu Qiancai down the mountain in advance.
"After going down the mountain, send it directly to the hospital, go to the hospital in the city, don't delay, don't worry about money."
Wang Tianxiao ordered the people who carried it.
"Okay, Uncle Tianxiao, we know it well."
These people have worked in the mountains for nearly half a year. Wu Wenhua and Wu Qiancai are their managers. The two brothers are honest and honest. Although they are managers, they will not do anything to them specially, so everyone has a good relationship. .
Especially the people who carried the stretcher had a close relationship with him.
Almost no need for Wang Tianxiao to explain, they also know what to do.
After the first wave of people left, Wang Tianxiao ordered everyone to clean up the corpses on the ground. After cleaning up, they found a total of sixteen jackals and nine wolves.
Really a very rare pack of jackals.
It's a pity that many of the furs of these jackals were damaged by guns or knives, so they couldn't be sold at any good price.
In order for animal fur to be sold at a price, it must be ensured that the fur is intact.
However, the meat of these jackals can also be eaten for a while.
Fortunately, there are so many people, otherwise it would be impossible to clean up.
More than 30 people, each of them happened to carry one.
Those who were confused thought that Wang Tianxiao and the others came to the mountains for hunting, and these wolves were his prey.
"Shopkeeper, shall we go?"
Li Yali supported Wang Tianxiao and said softly.
Wang Tianxiao looked at the corpses of these jackals, and then at the mountain peaks further west, having a hard time making a decision.
He had a strong premonition that even if he killed so many wolves and jackals tonight, the leader jackal who organized these wolves might not be among them and was still at large.
If you go back like this now, it will inevitably happen again later.
The reproductive ability of jackals and wolves is not weak.
It doesn't take long to gather such a wave of wolves.
But this kind of brain jackal leader is rarely encountered, it can be said that it is rare to meet one in decades.
What needs to be eliminated is the potential danger it brings.
"The treasurer's?"
Li Yali was urging again.
Wang Tianxiao's eyes became serious. He decided to follow him and look around to see if he could find the jackal.
I left in a hurry yesterday and didn't do enough preparations.
Now the people who came to look for them brought food, and the golden eagle was also circling in the sky, so they must still be able to find the jackal.
Get rid of it to avoid future troubles.
That is, the dogs were seriously injured.
The only one who can still fight now is Aying, the she-wolf Qing, Dahei died in the line of duty, and Dafeng is also full of scars, and was carried away on a small stretcher long ago.
By the way, he also took away two young wolf dogs.
The first time they went on a mission, they encountered such a big scene, and it took some time to digest it.
If you can accept it and turn fear into motivation, then you will be a very good running mountain dog in the future, but if you are scared out of your guts, then you will only be a useless dog to guard the house in the future.
I can no longer run in the mountains.
Scared dogs will weaken their legs when they see wolves. Bringing them will not improve the combat effectiveness, but is still a burden. It is better not to bring them.
"Lili, you go down with the others first, I want to track down the leading jackal, if that guy doesn't kill him, there may be another wave in the future.
We have already lost three dogs this time, if it continues like this in the future, it will inevitably not hurt people. I'm going to kill it right now while it's isolated and helpless. If you have to wait until you recover, I'm afraid it will be difficult again. "
Li Yali looked at her husband in disbelief, but didn't realize it for a long time.
what are you saying?
Did I hear wrong?
You look like you are going to faint at any moment, you said you still want to track the jackal, how dare you think about it?
Isn't it a joke?
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
At this moment, everyone else left, only Wang Tianxiao, his wife, and Wang Tianxin, who was still making light bulbs, were left at the scene.
Wang Tianxiao saw his wife staring at him blankly, not speaking, a little timid.
"If you really want to go, then I will go with you."
