A thunderstorm night is the best protective umbrella. It can disturb people's hearts and destroy corpses and traces.
Wen Xian listened to the noise coming from the mountains, and she didn't know what she thought of, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Fang Jiaren noticed something was wrong with her and quickly took the opportunity to hold her arm and said with a worried look on her face: "Madam, if you don't feel well, please go back to the cave to rest."
The strength in her hands could not help but increase. The wolf howling in the distance was so specific that she was afraid.
At this moment, she understood why Wen Xian insisted on letting them practice climbing trees. It was really a matter of survival.
The frightening sound in the mountains is so frightening that people almost get choked up even when they speak.
Wen Xian suddenly took a deep breath to calm down, then grabbed Fang Jiaren's hand and said: "Quickly, wake up everyone, light a fire, more fires, it is best to light all the places where you can stand."
If she heard correctly, there was a wolf running out of the mountain!
After vaguely hearing a burst of chaos, a high-pitched wolf howl came from the deep mountains. This wolf howl seemed to declare a victory.
Wen Xian couldn't help but guess that this was probably the end of the Wolf King Competition and the new Wolf King had been elected.
However, not long after the wolf howled, there was movement in the mountains. It seemed that she had a premonition that it was coming in their direction.
Her legs are a little weak now and she dare not move. She can only place her hope on Fang Jiaren.
Unexpectedly, Fang Jiaren looked sad and had tears in her eyes: "Madam, my legs are weak and I can't walk."
Wen Xian shivered and felt that this was a normal behavior for Fang Jiaren. After all, she was afraid, let alone these delicate concubines.
Even if this concubine is very good at cooking, it is just a boudoir's pleasure. Even if he gritted his teeth and persisted for the past two days, it was just a last resort.
After all, Fang Jiaren is still the weak concubine.
After thinking about this, Wen Xian didn't care about anything else. She turned around and shouted into the cave: "Get up quickly and light a fire!"
She didn't dare shout loudly at first for fear of attracting the attention of the wolves. But the people inside were too sleepy, so she could only increase the volume and continue shouting.
Fortunately, Wu Junlan and Xia Zhi were relatively alert and quickly put on their shoes and ran out when they heard the shouting.
Wen Xian's face was filled with joy, and she quickly ordered: "Quickly, call the others, and then light the pile of firewood at the entrance of the cave. No, the few piles at the entrance of the cave are not enough. We must light at least ten piles to block the entrance of the cave.
Move quickly, I suspect the wolves are out of the mountains. "
She urged again, and Wu Junlan and Xia Zhicai reacted.
The two looked at each other and split up.
Xia Zhi turned around and ran back to the cave to call for someone. Wu Junlan supported Wen Xian and Fang Jiaren with one hand and walked into the cave.
Wu Junlan experienced this feeling during her first night vigil. The first time she heard the howl of a wolf, her hands and feet were too weak to move.
She believed that Xia Zhi was the same, so neither of them moved that night.
There is great power in numbers, and as long as everyone is awake, the movement will naturally be faster.
First light the piles of firewood that have been stacked at the entrance of the cave, and then light the fire into the cave.
It wasn't until ten piles were burned and three layers were raised that they huddled on the same floor bunk, clinging to each other for a sense of security.
Several people couldn't help but protect Jiang Jingwan and Wen Xian at the back. In this way, even if there is danger, they will be ranked last.
Wen Xian hugged her knees and stared at the fire and the hole with an unclear expression.
If it weren't for the thin air in the cave, she would have burned the entire cave, leaving only a small open space where they could stay safely inside.
Wu Junlan held a dagger and held Sheng Lian'er, who was crying silently, at the front.
One of the two has weapons, the other has strength, at least a little stronger than the others.
According to Wen Xian's opinion, it is actually most appropriate for her to stay at the front. But everyone was not happy and insisted on stuffing her inside.
Jiang Jingwan's hand went back and forth several times, and finally she gritted her teeth and put it on Wen Xian's shoulder, hugged her shoulder and comforted her: "Madam, don't be afraid, the worst is to die."
Wen Xian trembled all over, was she trying to comfort someone?
She looked at Jiang Jingwan without words: "I'm afraid, I must be afraid. I was thinking about how to add more firewood when it's finished burning."
Seeing everyone tense up, especially Jiang Jingwan's nervous look, she suddenly wanted to comfort someone.
Her face darkened, and she pretended to be calm and said: "Everyone is destined to die. If a pack of wolves comes charging at you later, you should try to run out. Don't care whether it's raining or thundering outside, just climb up the tree.
According to the previous training, we first work together to send Jingwan up the tree, and then don't worry about anything else. Just climb the tree with all your strength. I will try my best to hold off the wolves. Of course, if I can't hold on, I will choose to run into the sea instead of being killed by a wolf. At least I will die decently. "
In ancient times, dying without a complete body was an extremely serious matter, so for the sake of dignity, some people would ask others to leave a complete body or something.
There is still a chance of survival by running into the sea. Of course, the premise is that you can outrun the wolf.
"Stop talking, Madam, stop talking." Sheng Lian'er turned around and said, crying, "I'm scared."
She was afraid. If possible, she would rather not have this strength and just be as soft and weak as Bai Qiangwei.
Bai Qiangwei and her entered the palace together, but their temperaments were very different, and their treatment was also very different.
When Bai Qiangwei was favored, she didn't know where to count the ants.
Receiving Sheng Lian'er's envious look, Bai Qiangwei shrunk slightly, her eyes averted, and weakly comforted: "I, I can also fight wolves."
"Stay here, don't cause trouble." Hu Ke'er pushed her and said angrily, "Don't beat the wolf, you still need us to save you."
She clenched the sharp wooden stick in her hand, ready to risk her life at any time.
Fang Jiaren and Zheng Rou also held sharp wooden sticks in their hands, protecting Hu Keer and Bai Qiangwei on the left and right.
The two of them stared at the entrance of the cave motionlessly, for fear of missing any moment.
In the middle of the last row behind them are Wen Xian and Jiang Jingwan. On either side of them are Jiang Lingling and Zhou Hui.
Jiang Lingling held Jiang Jingwan's arm and said nothing. Zhou Hui also said nothing, only pursed her lips and lowered her eyes and leaned against Wen Xian.
However, Xia Zhi took the initiative to run to Wu Junlan's side in the first row and fought alongside Wu Junlan and Sheng Lian'er.
After hearing Sheng Lian'er's words, Wu Junlan didn't move her eyes, only stared at the hole nervously.
However, Xia Zhi stood up expressionlessly and quickly pulled some branches and sticks around the fire. If the previous ones are burned out, you might as well continue burning them by pulling them a few times.
Wen Xian nodded secretly, this is a smart person, but there is still room for improvement.
She coughed twice and said, "Pick up some more long wooden sticks. If necessary later, each person can light a torch to drive away the wolves."
Xia Zhi paused slightly, raised his head and glanced at her, then silently followed her instructions, picked up some thick wooden sticks and put them at his feet.
"Ouch~"
Just after doing this, the low roar of the wild wolf came from far away. It was accompanied by the sound of running.
Wen Xian listened carefully for a while, her brows furrowed and her expression puzzled.
