Chapter 1278 The Young Lady’s Choice (23)
Two tall gray wolves stood side by side, their green eyes fixed on Liu Aijun, without howling.
But the "woooo" sound coming from his throat sounded like a charge before an attack.
The two wolves seemed to be telling each other that they would remember this grudge and would not let go of anyone who intended to harm their cubs.
Frightened, Liu Aijun took several steps back and asked tremblingly, "Didn't they return the cub? Why haven't the wolves retreated yet?"
Seeing this, even Xiao Li understood that today's matter would not be easily resolved: "Asshole, you've caused big trouble. They have no intention of letting you go, and I guess as long as you go down the mountain, they might follow you home.
Just like the old Qian family that year!"
Lao Qian was the one whose family was slaughtered by a pack of wolves.
No one in the family of five was left alive. The little grandson, who was fed the most wolf meat, was left with only a skeleton.
As for Old Qian himself, not even a skeleton was left.
But these were killed on the spot.
The daughter of the Qian family, whose leg was bitten off, had been rescued, but she developed a high fever the next day and became afraid of water and started biting people.
It was only a few days later. The people who handled it at the time said that it was animal poison and it was contagious. Therefore, the five members of the family were all cremated and not buried.
Such a brilliant thing happened less than twenty years ago, so many people are well aware of it.
After hearing what Xiao Li said, Liu Aijun also remembered what happened at the Qian family. He no longer said anything stubborn. "Captain, please save me. I won't dare to do it again."
Before Yu Hanshang could say anything, the two wolf leaders began to howl towards the sky.
After the howling, the wolves began to narrow the encirclement again.
The torches had been burning for some time, and as the fire gradually died down, they were no longer as intimidating to the wolves.
"Captain, what should we do now? The torch might..." Xiao Wang, who had just been thinking of beating the wolf cub, also started to panic. With the strong mountain wind, his back was already soaked with sweat.
The wolves now have the advantage in numbers, and they are more familiar with the mountains and forests than themselves, so any place can become their hiding place.
If they fight head-on, they are likely to suffer casualties.
While thinking, Yu Hanshang suddenly discovered that Liu Aijun had a bulging cloth bag on his waist - could it be that this guy had caught a hare, pheasant or something?
If that's the case, if we can use prey to lure the wolves away, and as long as we can run back to the cabin and hold on until dawn with everyone else, there should be a chance of survival.
"Liu Aijun, do you have any hares, pheasants, or anything like that in your bag?" Yu Hanshang said seriously. "We can't worry about that right now. Hurry and take the stuff out. Let's divert the wolves' attention somewhere else first."
Hearing the other party mention the cloth bag on his waist, Liu Aijun's face turned even paler. He stammered, "It's really not a hare, it's just... it's just..."
Xiao Li hated him so much that before he could finish, he took the cloth bag and reached in to take out the body - it was the limp body of a little wolf that had already died.
After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Li immediately cursed: "You actually killed a wolf cub. No wonder they are staring at us..."
"No, no, no, I'm not saying I killed it. When I saw the little wolf, it was already dead." Liu Aijun quickly waved his hands in denial. "I just thought, even if it's a corpse, it's still a wolf, and I think it can be exchanged for some money."
Yu Hanshang didn't say anything, but took the body from Xiao Li, examined it, and said, "He didn't kill it. The wolf cub's hind legs are very thin, so it must have been born with a disability. It must have died young.
It's just that he went at the wrong time. The little wolf must have died not long ago."
After pondering for a moment, Yu Hanshang said: "Wait a minute, I will throw the wolf cub's body farther away, and then I will rush towards the two wolf leaders. At that time, Xiao Li, Xiao Wang,
Lead Liu Aijun to break out to the southwest. The terrain there is steep, so it will be difficult for the wolves to catch up with you. After you break out, go back to the cabin and hold your ground!"
"Captain!" Xiao Li immediately became anxious when he heard this idea.
The more afraid you are of a wolf, the stronger its aura will become.
On the contrary, the brave will win when two meet in a narrow road. If you have the courage to fight it, it will consider whether it is worth fighting with you.
Because whether it is a human or an animal, the instinct is to survive.
After briefly explaining this principle, Yu Hanshang threw the corpse in his hand towards the wolf leader.
One of the wolves took a look at Yu Hanshang and then ran towards the corpse.
But one of the alpha wolves did not leave.
Seeing this, Yu Hanshang took a deep breath, handed the torch to his left hand, held the long sword in his right hand across his body, and his eyes became as sharp as an eagle.
"Get ready!" His voice was filled with undeniable determination. "When I count to three, you run!"
"Captain Yu!" Xiao Li and Xiao Wang both felt that Yu Hanshang had chosen self-sacrifice, and their tone was filled with grief.
