When he went back, Jiang Ning didn't walk the same way. He walked around this small village and found a strange phenomenon.

The village was originally built on the side of the mountain, facing south from the north. There is a large dense forest on the side of the mountain, but in the middle part of the distance between the forest and the village, there are many fences lined up neatly. Thick, densely spaced, only as wide as a palm, the row of fences stretches out, looking from a distance, it is tens of meters long, stretching all the way to the river bank. This posture seems to want to block what's normal...

Jiang Ning walked around the fence for a while, and gradually had a vague guess in his heart. He frowned, and went back with something on his mind.

Han Zhiyuan was sitting in the yard, fiddling with something in front of him, when he heard Jiang Ning coming in, he looked up, then lowered his head, and said, "It's just in time for you to come back, let me tell you something."

Jiang Ning sat down in front of him, saw that he was trying to break a copper wire, and said, "It happens that I have something to do, so let's talk about it first."

After hearing this, Han Zhiyuan put down the copper wire and raised his head with a serious expression: "I don't know if you have noticed that there is something wrong with this village."

Jiang Ning was surprised: "What's wrong?"

Han Zhiyuan frowned slightly, tapped his fingers on the table, and said hesitantly, "Do you still remember... the first night when we came to the village, we heard the howling of a wild beast?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "I remember." The impression was still deep at that time.

Han Zhiyuan went on to say: "I went to the village today to have a look, and found a long row of fences behind the village, which seemed to be used to intercept some ferocious beasts. I suspect it was wolves. There are wolves in the mountain."

Hearing his speculation, Jiang Ning suddenly said: "Speaking of which, when I just came back from Mr. Chang, he also reminded me not to light the lights, not open the door, and not talk tonight. Is this the reason?"

"Mr. Chang?" Han Zhiyuan immediately realized that he sat up straight: "Is that the old man?"

Jiang Ning nodded, Han Zhiyuan knocked on the table, frowned and continued, "That's right, I've been behind the fence."

Jiang Ning was a little surprised: "Have you passed? How is it like outside?"

Han Zhiyuan replied: "There is still a long distance between the fence and the woods. There is a small soil slope below. If you walk a little further to the woods, you can see the paw prints of many wild animals on the ground. I suspect they are wolves. "

Hearing this, Jiang Ning frowned and analyzed: "This kind of thing is a bit tricky. Regardless of whether the fence is used by the village to guard against wolves, according to Mr. Chang, he must know the existence of wolves. Since he will remind us like that ,Could it be that……"

He and Han Zhiyuan looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes: "The wolves are coming out!"

However, no matter how worried and distressed, the day passed in a blink of an eye, and night fell, the moon hung in the dark blue sky, shedding silver light like water, the evening wind blew past, and the shadows of the trees fell on the worn window paper, pulling Thin and long shadows appeared, like demons dancing wildly.

Naturally, neither Jiang Ning nor Han Zhiyuan fell asleep. They were silent and looked at each other in the dark. The thin moonlight coming in from the window vaguely outlined the contours of their faces.

Jiang Ning sat leaning against the wall, his palms were slightly wet with thin sweat. In the darkness, Han Zhiyuan didn't know why, but suddenly smiled, and there was a magnetism in his low voice, which seemed to be able to pull people's heartstrings in the silent night General: "Are you nervous?"

Jiang Ning licked his lower lip uncomfortably, subconsciously lowered his voice and replied: "I grow up so big, the largest carnivore I've ever seen is a Labrador, and now a pack of wolves suddenly came to me , The shock was too great, if I wasn't nervous, I must have been scared out of my wits."

Han Zhiyuan listened, and laughed lowly: "I see that when you discussed countermeasures with me during the day, you acted quite calmly."

Jiang Ning glanced at him: "Mr. Han's language should be pretty good?"

Han Zhiyuan put his hand to his lips and coughed, and replied vaguely: "Well...it seems..."

Jiang Ning wiped the sweat from his palms, and said in a low voice, "Then Boss Han must know the meaning of the word 'talk on paper'."

In the darkness, the smile on Han Zhiyuan's face widened faintly, and he comforted with a smile: "It's okay, I don't think wolves may come in."

As soon as the words fell, a long howl of wolves crossed the silent night and echoed over the small village. Immediately afterwards, more wolves howled, one after another. Compared with the last time, the howls this time were more intense. It's close, it's like sticking to the ear, which is full of animal|sexual danger and coercion, as if it is provoking the people here.

Jiang Ning's left hand trembled uncontrollably, he clenched it tightly with his right hand, sat up straight, Han Zhiyuan immediately pressed his shoulder, rubbed him comfortingly, and whispered in his ear Said: "It's okay, they are still outside the fence, it's okay, don't be nervous."

Han Zhiyuan's voice was very low, but it seemed very reassuring in the quiet darkness. Jiang Ning's shoulders that had been tense due to tension finally relaxed, and the slight roar in his head disappeared. He gently Let out a sigh of relief.

The wolves howled continuously for half an hour, and then there was no more movement. The danger seemed to have dissipated, and they quietly opened the door to take a look. With no sound, everything is peaceful.

The two of them finally relaxed. Unknowingly, sleepiness hit. Jiang Ning didn't even lie down, and fell asleep directly on Han Zhiyuan's shoulder. However, the good times didn't last long. After about ten minutes, he He woke up suddenly, sat up all of a sudden, gasping for breath, his eyes were amazingly bright under the moonlight.

Han Zhiyuan immediately asked: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ning wiped his sweat fiercely, and said in a hasty tone: "How could the wolves leave by themselves! They stopped barking because they were already close to the fence!"

As soon as his words fell, there was a crisp sound of "Dangcang--" in the night not far away, as if some pottery had been smashed.

Jiang Ning and Han Zhiyuan immediately looked at each other, and they both saw a little nervousness in the other's eyes.

In the afternoon, Han Zhiyuan made two small traps out of a large pottery vat, one inside and outside the fence, triggered by a very thin hemp rope, as long as the hemp rope broke, the pottery vat would be smashed, and now, The mechanism was triggered.

Every second that followed was very long and unbearable. Just after Jiang Ning reconfirmed whether the door was closed properly, there was another heart-pounding sound of pottery breaking in the silent night.

The wolves have entered the village!

Han Zhiyuan jerked Jiang Ning violently, urging in a low voice: "Go back to the house!"

The two quickly entered the room, closed the door, Jiang Ning took a deep breath, took out two sharpened knives from under the kang mat, and handed one of them to Han Zhiyuan, the room quickly fell silent, only Hearing their breathing one after another, and outside the window, the night wind blowing the leaves rustling.

Time passed slowly, and I don't know how long it had passed. Suddenly, human voices came from not far away, mixed with low howling wolves, which seemed to be a threat or a warning, and the danger in it was frightening.

Jiang Ning whispered: "Mr. Chang!"

The howling of wolves was indeed coming from Chang Gong's direction, Han Zhiyuan got up and said, "I'll go and have a look, you wait here, I'll be back in a while."

Holding the knife, Jiang Ning stood up: "I'll go with you."

Seeing Jiang Ning's persistent face, Han Zhiyuan didn't stop him, but said, "Follow me, be careful."

The two walked out of the room lightly, Han Zhiyuan pushed the courtyard door open a little, looked outside, and lowered his voice: "It seems that this side is still safe for the time being."

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, but the sound from Chang Gong's direction became louder and louder, and he could even clearly hear the old man's stern yelling, the sound of sharp claws scratching the door panel, and the short howling of wolves.

The two of them approached Mr. Chang's yard carefully under the cover of the night. Gradually, they could see the shadow at the gate of the yard clearly. A wolf raised its front paws, lay on the fence above the gate, rushed Peeping inside, turning his head occasionally, he could see a pair of green eyes full of animalism, accompanied by a low roar, which seemed especially dangerous in the silent night.

Fortunately, there was only one wolf. Han Zhiyuan made a gesture to him. Jiang Ning clenched the knife in his hand and nodded. The two continued to quietly bypass the front door and approach Chang Gong's backyard.

The courtyard wall was only one meter high, Han Zhiyuan easily climbed into the courtyard, Jiang Ning also followed, he knocked on the door, and called out in a low voice, "Mr. Chang?"

There was no movement in the room, Jiang Ning and Han Zhiyuan looked at each other, then continued to knock on the door: "Mr. Chang, it's us."

After a while, the door finally opened a crack, Mr. Chang held a rake in one hand, looked outside, and then let the two of them into the room.

After entering the house, the scratching and howling of the wolf got closer and closer, and the thin door panel creaked unbearably, as if it would be destroyed in the next second.

Han Zhiyuan poked through the window paper lightly and looked out, "There is only one wolf. It seems that not all the wolves came in."

He turned his head and asked Mr. Chang: "Did the village have anything to do with the attack of wolves?"

Chang Gong shook his head: "Wolves have not entered the village for decades. There used to be hunters."

Now the situation is even more troublesome. Outside the door, the wolf has already realized that the courtyard door is loose, and even began to slap and slap the door panel. One after another, like the sound of drums urging the battle, it hit the three people's hearts, and even the eardrums were shocked. It began to vibrate accordingly.

Suddenly, there was a creaking sound from the door panel, and the hinge broke, followed by a louder sound. When Jiang Ning moved, and was about to check whether the door was fastened again, Han Zhiyuan looked at it, and suddenly said: " Don't go there, let it enter the yard!"
