Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 162

"Do some good deeds!"

Jiang Xiaomi slapped Jiang Xiubai's hand away in annoyance: "Is this flower an ordinary wild flower? This is a wild flower that has conquered the sky! It has avoided the strong wind and withstood the heavy rain. Good days are about to come, but suddenly, you broke it - can you imagine how wicked you are?"

"...If you don't want to pick them, then don't pick them! Why are you cursing at me?" Jiang Xiubai retracted his claws in dismay, and looked to the side, only to find out: "Hey, are all these wild flowers like this?"

"That's true. I can't pick it. It's the only flower left."

"Okay." Jiang Xiubai didn't bother to destroy the flower ruthlessly. He looked down the mountain.

Floods were rushing down the mountain.

Yunling Mountain is the highest mountain nearby. Standing on the top of the mountain gives you a sense of overlooking all the other mountains.

It would be perfect if the flood waters below the mountain had receded.

"When it gets warmer in the spring, it will be a great place to camp. What a beautiful scenery! The air is fresh and the sun is bright - Autumn!"

".....Go camping in the primeval forest?" Jiang Xiaomi gave him a thumbs up: "What a talent!"

Jiang Xiubai rubbed his nose. He was actually immune to Jiang Xiaomi's spoiling the mood. He stepped on a large stone, put his hands on his knees, and said in high spirits: "I suddenly felt poetic and wanted to write two words. How about [虫二]?"

Jiang Xiaomi: "...How about you go and play with your scholar friend?"

“…no culture.”

"Yes, yes, I am uneducated."

Although the rain had stopped, the wind on the top of the mountain was still quite strong. Jiang Xiaomi and the others returned soon and just in time saw Jiang the hunter and his men reinforcing the hunting traps.

"Check carefully to see if the sharp wood spikes and iron posts in the trap are loose. If they are loose, fix them quickly. The mud will become soft after being soaked in water for a long time, so remember to insert them deeper."

As a professional hunter, Jiang the Hunter knows the habits of wild animals in the mountains better than Jiang Xiubai. If you are not prepared and the wild animals attack you, it will be a disaster.

Yes, Hunter Jiang concluded that the wild beasts would come to the human camp, but he didn’t know when they would come - it would be better if they didn’t come.

"I hope the small animals in the mountains are enough for the big beasts to eat, so they don't come to bother us. When the flood recedes and we go down the mountain, they can come if they want. We can even give them our beds to sleep on."

But no one knew when the flood would recede. County Magistrate Chen wanted to arrange people to clear the water, but he didn't know where to start.

The first clear night is the most restless night.

The night was filled with the roars of various wild beasts and the screams of small animals, which scared many children so much that they could not sleep.

The patrol team began to re-arrange their night shifts, with twenty people in a team, for fear of sudden night attacks by wild beasts.

Hunter Jiang said: "The wild animals in the mountains are much smarter than we think. You can't find any traces of wild animals in the mountains, but they know where the human territory is."

The enemy is in the dark!

There is no better way than to be on guard every night.

Everything was peaceful for a few days, and many people thought that nothing would happen.

But Hunter Jiang did not dare to relax his vigilance at all. He checked near the camp and one hundred meters away from the camp every day to see if there were any footprints of wild animals.

Fortunately, nothing was discovered.

Late night on the fourth day.

Patrol Team 4 was on duty at night. It was cold, so they gathered around the stove to warm themselves up. The firelight made their faces red, and in order to prevent themselves from falling asleep, they chatted idly.

"I think the flood water has receded quite a bit today. In another three or four days, it will probably recede completely, and then we can go home!"

"It's good to go home. There is no place like home. I've had enough of living in this mountain."

"Who isn't? But what can we do? It's going to rain and my mother is going to get married!"

"If you say it's raining, just say it's raining. Why bring up your mother's marriage? If your uncle hears it, he will tear your ears apart."

"Hey, smooth talk."

"Be content. We have a very good life following Uncle Pei. Look at Jiajia Village and County Magistrate Chen's people. Half of them are frozen sick. Be alert!"

Jiang Xiugao hadn't finished speaking when he stood up in shock, just because he had just met a pair of green eyes in the distance.

The next second, several pairs of green eyes appeared next to the green eyes. He stepped back in fear: "Wolf! It's a wolf! The hunter said that wolves are the most difficult to deal with. Go and call for help! Quick!"

The people nearby were young and were already frightened, but they reacted immediately after Jiang Xiu's shout. They grabbed the gong beside them and started beating it while shouting, "Get up, get up, everyone! The wolf is coming, the wolf is coming!!"

"Uncle Pei, Uncle Pei! The wolf is coming!"

"Uncle Hunter, get up quickly, the wolf is coming!"

"What? A wolf?!"

Hunter Jiang felt a darkness before his eyes. Among so many kinds of wild beasts, the one he least wanted to face was a wolf!

The new word they just learned - unity - is most appropriate for wolves.

Wolves are the most united social animals, no doubt about it.

Wolves are wild beasts that are cunning and cautious by nature. They are cooperative and united, but also stubborn and will not give up until they achieve their goal - since they have decided to come here to eat meat, they must get it.

Unless you die or fail miserably.

"Get your weapons! Quick!" Hunter Jiang rushed out with his bow and arrow on his back and his hunting knife in hand.

"Dad, be careful!" Jiang the hunter's wife shouted.

"Got it. Go back quickly, close the door, and look after the children."

Except for the elderly, children and a few injured people from Jiajia Village, everyone in the first cave ran out. Not only did they ask the people inside to close the door tightly, but they also blocked the outside with huge rocks that had been prepared long ago. The same thing happened in the second cave.

Jiang Yipei was awakened as early as when the wooden shed of Jiang Xiaomi's house was banged on. Then he heard someone shouting "wolf" amid the noisy voices.

He was at a loss.

The wolf is here, why are you looking for him?

He can't beat the wolf!

But there is someone in his family who is not afraid of death——

"Jiang Xiaomi, come back here! Don't go out!"

Jiang Yipei didn't even have time to tie up his hair, which was loose, and he grabbed his daughter who was about to walk out with a sword in her hand. He usually didn't call Jiang Xiaomi's full name unless she behaved inappropriately.

I don’t know what’s going on outside, so I just rush out!

Is that true?

"Xiaomi, we can't go out. It's too dangerous." Grandma Huang also called Jiang Xiaomi.

She didn't know that Jiang Xiaomi was skilled in martial arts, she just thought that it was not her, a little girl,'s business to get involved in the dangerous things outside.

"Grandma, I think..."

"You don't want to." Jiang Suying covered her mouth, and Jiang Xiaomi could only accuse with her eyes.

"There are wolves outside, and we don't know how many there are. You stay still! Mom, keep an eye on her! I'll go out and take a look."

As he said that, he snatched Jiang Xiaomi's sword - wow, it's quite heavy, you're really capable!

Throw it aside.

Then he put on the crossbow that Jiang Xiumian made for him.

Jiang Yiyu and Jiang Yitao also wanted to follow, but were rejected by Jiang Yipei. It was not a market town, and people who could not help with force should not cause trouble.

Oh, Jiang Xiaomi doesn’t count.

She could help, but he was worried.

Jiang Xiaomi: “…”

"Hey! I promise I won't let her run around." Old Lady Yang responded, holding Jiang Xiaomi's restless little arm and worriedly saying, "Be careful!"

"Hey." Jiang Yipei opened the door.

Although Jiang Yipei's fighting ability is not good, he has protectors. As soon as he goes out, his servants surround him like a dumpling.

Not to mention wolves, even mice have to hide for a while when they come.

At this time, the wolves had also slowly approached. They were testing and observing. After they found that their whereabouts had been completely exposed, the leader wolf let out a "howl" and the wolves immediately dispersed and attacked.

There were traps all around the camp, but the wolf pack had a vanguard. The main force stepped on the corpses of the vanguard wolves to cross the traps. Some were accidentally injured, but it still couldn't stop their progress.

It is said that wolves are the most organized and disciplined. There is a division of labor among people as to who attacks which direction. Each person is responsible for a workstation and works hard at it until his death.

The big guys were holding weapons in their hands, yelling and fighting hard, while some of the young guys had no rules at all and just closed their eyes and kept yelling.

Jiang Xiaomi was being watched closely by two old ladies, and an old man was watching her closely from the side. She couldn't even fly out of the wooden shed even if she turned into a fly.

She could only peek through the crack of the door to enjoy the view. In fact, she didn't see it very clearly, but she was excited by the imagined battle between man and wolf. She scratched the wood with her nails. Ah, she wanted to go out and fight! !

When County Magistrate Chen and his people heard the noise, they quickly sent people over. There were hundreds of them in total, fighting against more than a dozen wolves...

The wolf was ferocious and suffered a miserable defeat.

The disparity in strength was so great that the wolves had no power to resist and were knocked down.

During the whole process, Jiang Yipei did not take any action. No, he hid in the dark and secretly shot an arrow. Who made the wolf howl on the highest stone? It was so conspicuous!

If we don't shoot an arrow at it, we will be doing it a disservice to its uniqueness.

"Eh..." The young man who was cleaning the battlefield and counting the wolf corpses said in disgust, "Only 19 wolves? I thought it was a huge pack of wolves! Look how scared we are."

"You are really a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. Do you think it is not enough?" Hunter Jiang gave him a slap on the face: "Who was almost ripped out of his heart by the wolf's claws?"

The child was so frightened that he didn't even know how to hide when the wolf pounced on him.

"I was careless for a moment. If it happens again -"

"Shut up! Hurry up and get to work. Wash and put away those iron forks and rakes. Rinse off the wolf blood on the ground. There's no next time."

What a hapless guy with a loose tongue!

It’s such a bad thing, but I’m still thinking there will be a next time!

The young man was hit on the head again. He covered his head and bared his teeth, then quickly went to fetch water.

When it rains, we use rainwater. When the rain stops, we go to the nearby stream to fetch water. However, the stream water is relatively yellow and needs to be filtered before drinking, but there is no need to do so for flushing the ground.

Flushing requires a lot of water, so the young man found a few people to help.

In the mountains, it is a taboo to have the smell of blood in the camp, as it will attract other wild animals and is very dangerous. It must be flushed away thoroughly.

"Oh, my wolf skin!"

After Hunter Jiang peeled off a wolf skin, he looked at it and his face wrinkled with pain.

The guys had almost no experience in hunting wild animals. When they saw the wolf rushing towards them with its teeth bared, some of them were so scared that they hid aside, while others were so scared that they clenched their iron forks and kept poking. They beat the master to death with their random punches. There were so many people, and each of them had a pestle -

The wolf was dead, but its skin was almost torn to pieces.

There were nineteen wolf carcasses, but not a single intact wolf skin was found, which made Hunter Jiang very sad.

This winter is extremely cold. Wolfskins are well tanned and can keep you warm.

But now that things have come to this, I can only wash it, mend it and use it again.

Hunter Jiang quickly skinned the wolves, gave some of the wolf meat to Magistrate Chen and his men, and gave the rest to the fat chef.

The fat chef had never cooked wolf meat before. He tried several methods, but he had to admit that he had suffered his first setback as a chef, because the wolf meat was not tasty no matter how he cooked it. It was tough.

Of course, this is only for Jiang Xiaomi and the others. Others, especially those in Jiajia Village, feel extremely happy to have meat to eat.

How can meat not taste good?

The meat is so delicious!

I don’t know if it was because the fight with the wolves that day was too loud, but after three more days in the mountains, no other wild animals came to harass us, and even the rustling sounds in the distance at night became less frequent.

On this day, the flood had completely receded. Standing on the mountain, they could see the muddy path at the bottom of the mountain. Jiang Yipei and County Magistrate Chen began to discuss how to get down the mountain.

It is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down. In addition, Yunling Mountain is quite steep. It is really difficult for a large group of thousands of people to go down the mountain, not to mention that there are so many supplies on the mountain.

Jiangjia Village had the most supplies, but Jiang Yipei had no intention of asking County Magistrate Chen's people to help carry them.

Wealth should not be exposed to others! We cannot let others know how much wealth we have.

So County Magistrate Chen led them down the mountain as the vanguard. It was a long and mighty team, but the luggage on their backs looked a little shabby.

"This time, I can finally go home!"

The people of Jiangjia Village waited for County Magistrate Chen and his companions to leave for a day before setting off again.

Everyone was eager to go home, and every household was smiling as they packed up their things.

The animals that had been carefully cared for all this time were finally put to good use. They were tired and their backs were almost bent, but they could not move all the load in one go. But it didn't matter. As long as they didn't go hungry, they could move the load as many times as they wanted.

But Jiang Xiaomi didn't need to think about these things. She took the lead, leaning on the trekking pole Jiang Xiubai gave her when they climbed up the mountain, and rushed down the mountain in a flash. Jiang Suying's heart almost jumped out of her throat when she saw this: "Jiang Xiaomi!"

Jiang Xiaomi, Jiang Xiaomi can't hear me.

Jiang Xiubai was originally following behind her, and at first he wanted to keep up with her pace, but he gave up after a while.

In just a few breaths, he was left far behind.

"Is your sister born in the year of the monkey?"

Looking at the afterimage of Jiang Xiaomi, Jiang Xiubai asked Jiang Xiumian.

"Maybe. She loves bananas."

"..."

It took half a day to go down the mountain. Although the road was muddy, it was much easier to walk than going up the mountain.

Jiangjia Village.

Jiang Xiaomi was scraping the mud off the soles of her shoes while looking at the village that had been flooded.
