"What's wrong?"
"Yes, Li Zheng, what happened? Why did you call us all here?"
"No, I haven't even eaten yet."
"..."
It was meal time, and most of the people in the village were having lunch. Not all of them were a little dissatisfied when they were suddenly called over.
"Quiet!" Li Zheng, whose head was buzzing from the noise, couldn't help but shouted.
Suddenly, everyone was as quiet as a chicken.
"In the mountains near us, a wave of hunters from other villages came, and they attracted a black bear." Li Zheng directly entered the topic.
"What! Black bear!" The food in his mouth was no longer fragrant.
"Why is there a black bear? Oh my God, this thing eats people!"
"Quick, quick, go home, pack your things, and go to the city to get away."
"Li Zheng, are you sure this is true?"
"How can we live like this~"
There is no one who has not heard of the reputation of black bears.
Everyone's legs were trembling, and their faces were pale with fear.
The one who was even more cowardly simply collapsed to the ground, his face full of despair, as if the black bear was coming in the next second.
"Don't panic, everyone. I have sent people to the city to find the official." Li Zheng was also scared to death, but when he saw these soft bones lying on the ground, he couldn't help but look away.
"Second uncle, do you think there is any way?" Li Zheng looked at a young man holding a little baby.
This man's name is Niu Tieshi, and he is the only hunter in Niujia Village. Although he is young, he is quite senior.
"There is nothing I can do. I can't deal with the black bear." Niu Tieshi shook his head repeatedly.
Even though he is a hunter, his father died early and went there when he was ten years old. He didn’t have time to pass on the craftsmanship to him. All he was taught was some superficial knowledge and he could only make some simple traps to capture small animals. prey.
If we hadn't reclaimed some wasteland and planted some crops, I might not even be able to support ourselves.
"Grandpa Li Zheng, I heard from the grandfather at the drug store in the market that black bears are afraid of loud noises and unpleasant smells."
Seeing that there was no useful person in the village, Niu Caohua had no choice but to speak.
All animals are afraid of high-frequency, harsh sounds, and black bears are no exception.
There is also a very unpleasant smell. Black bears have a keen sense of smell and are very sensitive to odors. They will turn away and run away when they smell the stench.
Did Li Zheng believe it?
Believe it!
Because of those steamed buns, he now has a good impression of Niucaohua.
After thinking for a while, he started to order everyone to do things.
"Ms. Lin, don't you have a gong at home? Find it and knock it hard if a black bear comes. Do you understand?"
Lin: Who am I, where am I, and what am I going to do?
She was one of the people paralyzed on the ground. Her mind was filled with black bears, and she could not hear what was being said.
Li Zheng shouted several times, but Mrs. Lin still seemed to have lost her soul.
"Forget it, Xi'er, do you know where your gong is?" So Li Zheng turned to ask Lin's granddaughter, Niu Xi'er.
Niu Xier glanced at Zheng Zheng timidly and nodded invisibly.
Niu Xier is 13 years old this year. She is skinny and looks like an eight or nine-year-old child. She is also dirty, with dry and yellow hair like weeds on her head, and the clothes on her body do not fit. The sleeves and trousers are a lot too short, and you can tell at a glance that they haven't been treated well.
This Mrs. Lin was always harsh on her daughter-in-law when she was alive. After her daughter-in-law died giving birth to a child, she was harsh on her granddaughter again.
Look, a pretty little girl has been brought up to be what she is now.
You must know that when Xi'er's mother was alive, she was the most iconic daughter-in-law of the Niu family village chief.
Mrs. Lin had a son and two daughters, both of whom were not favored by her. They were sold by her at a young age and she didn’t know where they were sold and never came back.
My son has been raised well and has not grown crooked yet. The night when Xi'er's mother gave birth to a child with dystocia, she went to see a doctor overnight and never came back. She didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
That night, Mrs. Lin lost her son, daughter-in-law, and her unborn grandson.
Niu Xi'er is the only one left in their family.
Soon, the gong was found, and Satozheng tried it. The sound was loud and loud.
"Look, Li Zheng, this is my drum, and it makes a very loud sound when played."
"..."
At the critical moment of life and death, every household in the village no longer hid their secrets. One by one, they found out everything from the bottom of the box at home and rushed to show it to Li Zheng to check to see if they could help.
While this side was busy, on the other side, Ushiyama Ma was also driving hard.
He had to go faster, inform the official about the matter as soon as possible, and bring people to help the village as soon as possible.
When I was on the road, I wore straw sandals. The sandals were strong and wear-resistant, but they were a bit harsh on my feet.
After walking for more than three hours, we could see the outline of the city wall from a distance, and Niu Shanma was overjoyed.
The sound of carriages and horses came from the official road next to it. Niu Shanma turned his head and saw, what a guy, he almost suffocated with fear.
A huge motorcade came slowly.
There were more than twenty tall horses, and on each horse sat a strong man with a weapon on his waist and leather armor on his body. A murderous aura rushed towards his face.
In the middle of them, a simple carriage was driving slowly.
There were several carriages behind, carrying boxes one after another.
These people are not simple at first sight and cannot be offended.
The Niushan horses stood on the roadside with their heads bowed and hands tied, waiting for the car and horses to leave first.
"Father, look, this man's feet are bleeding. What's wrong with him?" A clear child's voice sounded as the carriage drove in front of Niushan Ma.
"Oh, let Dad take a look." Then a gentle male voice sounded from inside the carriage.
So, the convoy stopped in front of Niu Shanma.
Niushanma didn't dare to look up. His kneecaps softened and he knelt down with his head on the ground.
"Little brother, why are you in such a hurry?" A gentle male voice asked from above.
Ushiyama Ma: Are you asking me? probably? I'm the only one on this road!
"Sir, villain, I am a villager from Niujia Village. A black bear entered the village. Dad asked me to come to the city to find the official for help."
Wherever Niu Shanma dared to hide something, he immediately revealed the matter.
"It's a black bear. There really is no need to delay. Linwu, please bring a few people to help this little brother."
"Yes, head of the family!"
The next second, Ushiyama Ma's body lightened up, and he was lifted onto the horse. Before he could react, he heard the sound of the wind.
Good news, he's on a big horse.
Bad news, he fainted gorgeously.
