Chapter 83: 11/96 sky light
11/96 sky light
We were ready for the day early in the morning. The three wounded were carried on improvised stretchers, and the others followed behind.
My son shouted "going home" last night. He jumped with joy when he heard that I took him back to Luhe Village, but when he saw the old house in Luhe Village, his reaction was exactly the same as Ah Fu's. Hurry up, I'm going back to Shanghe Village immediately.
Before leaving the compound, as usual, the cracks in the doors and windows were sealed with rocks to prevent the compound from turning into a werewolf's lair.
We brought all eighteen people out of the village, including six children, three old people, four women, and the rest are young and strong men and women.
The way out of the village was not uneventful. The sound of the crowd moving and the smell made the werewolves outside very restless. Even the surging yellow sand couldn’t stop them from rushing in. But that’s all, my rock spear didn’t float in the air. The four werewolf screamed and fell to the ground. Our team advanced to the vicinity of the injured werewolf. It struggled to emerge from the sand and dust, and was shot by the villagers holding steel bars. stabbed to death.
The drawn stone spear flew out again immediately, pinning the other werewolf down.
Four stone spears are not enough, but the villagers following me are not decorations. They already have experience fighting werewolves. Facing the werewolves whose vision was completely blinded by dust, they stabbed them in groups of three with steel bars. Strong-bodied werewolves are also no match.
A Fu bared his teeth and wanted to rush up, but I didn't allow it to fight. I didn't know whether the disease on the werewolf would infect other creatures other than humans, so I didn't dare to bet on it.
The werewolves are wise, howling and shouting one after another, rushing left and right in the chaos of the yellow dust, but lost six or seven without catching anyone, and immediately retreated again, out of the scope of the yellow sand.
As the werewolf retreated, I seized the opportunity and threw two more stone spears. One was very strong. The werewolf who seemed to be commanding other companions was pinned down from a distance. It was one of the guys who harassed us on our way here yesterday. , I have an impression of the dust attached to it, so I locked it outside the dust and killed it with two spears.
This battle completely frightened the werewolves, howling and escaping faster, and we didn't care about rest, we walked upstream along the river at full speed.
It took three hours to walk, and when we found a flat field with a wide view in the mountains, we camped on the spot and rested for a while.
I ate some dry food and hurry up to lie down and sleep, Ah Fu was responsible for protecting me, and the others ate and rested, and then put on mental alert.
Wang Jierui is a very caring boy. He obediently guards me, who is sleeping, and does not allow other people to speak loudly to interfere with my sleep.
I was woken up by the alarm clock after two hours of sleep this night. In fact, it wasn't enough. I was still very sleepy, but I didn't want to let such a group of people rush all night, so I resisted the discomfort and got up and scattered the yellow sand. Call on the villagers to keep going.
I was really sleepy. In order to save energy, the stone spear that was floating around was carried by the stronger villagers on the back, and I raised it when I needed to use it.
Those werewolves are really persistent. When I separated the sand and looked at the woods along the riverbank, I could see shadows running through them. They did not stay in Luhe Village, but followed us all the way up the mountain.
My scalp is numb, will these ghosts follow us all the way to Shanghe Village?
Probably.
The shallow river outside Shanghe Village and half the wall could not stop the werewolves. It was probably a very bad idea for me to go down the mountain this time and bring the disaster back to Shanghe Village.
I dare not express the suffering and anxiety in my heart. I am the backbone of the army. Everyone is looking at me. If I show fear, our team will collapse in despair.
"What's wrong with you, Dad?" The son in my arms reached out and touched my face.
"I'm fine." I squeezed a smile to reassure him.
"I'll go down by myself, Dad, I'm not tired."
"It's okay, I'm not tired either." I patted his head.
The speed of the large army was really slow, the old man and the children could not walk, and they rested twice in the afternoon. A few people who were looking for food to pick wild fruits were almost ambushed by werewolves, and I used the stone rain to cover and crawl back. , finally saved a life.
We were really chased and exhausted, but it was worth it. We didn't approach Shanghe Village until the early hours of the morning. We were attacked by werewolves at least five times along the way. Not a single person died. The stone thrown over was injured, but not seriously.
Seeing the brightly lit opposite bank of the river really made people want to cry, Ana on the other bank howled a few times to announce that she was safe, and we also shouted to communicate with the other side.
It was too dark and it was dangerous to cross the river. We guarded the former camp and rested before returning to Shanghe Village tomorrow morning.
The howlings around this night have not stopped. After a short rest, I rolled up the yellow sand again to disturb the werewolf's sight. Those werewolves didn't give up, they came in in groups and threw stones at us. My force field can Effectively deflected the stone out, and no one was injured, but it was too exhausting to concentrate on defending against the stone. Later, everyone had to burrow into a small crypt house, or hide behind a storage room on a small hill. .
When we built the bridge a few months ago, we built a small camp on the river bank. At that time, when we crossed the river and entered Shanghe Village, the houses were sealed together with stones. very busy.
The wounded rested in the rooms we used to live in, and most of the others could stay there even if they squeezed in, at least not worrying about getting sick from the cold wind at night.
The only fly in the ointment is that we didn't get anything to eat. Everyone was hungry. Fortunately, as long as we entered the village tomorrow morning, we could have all-you-can-eat food, so we didn't have to worry any more.
Fighting wits and bravery with the werewolves this night is exhausting. The sporadic harassment of stone rain and wooden sticks thrown from outside has never stopped. My stone spear threw two more spears at the right opportunity and overturned the two most active ones. The most aggressive militants, they jumped up and down in the middle of the night, and rushed into the dust again and again with their partners to find our camp location, thinking that they would be safe by hiding behind cover all the time, but they didn't know my spear throw. You can make a circular arc in the air and pin them to the ground from the waist side.
Now it seems that the werewolves have the habit of devouring each other. I couldn't see clearly when I was in Luhe Village. I only thought that the werewolves would save the injured companions. This time I found that the two werewolves I pinned down were approaching. When he was killed, he was torn and dragged away by other werewolves. One of them fought with other comrades forcibly and was eaten by his comrades in public. The scene was very chaotic.
I was really tired. I was worried that I didn’t dare to take a good rest. Anyway, I survived until dawn. We crossed the river in groups. We make a real impact.
The decadent refugees from Luhe Village finally got help from Shanghe villagers after they finally crossed the river. Several Luhe villagers who were originally staying in Shanghe Village saw their family members in the crowd, and they jumped up and cried with excitement. Those who didn't see their family members knew that their family members had died, so they beat their chests and wailed.
I soothed the excited Ana, untied the rope and put Wang Jerry, who couldn't wait to get off my back, to the ground. Wang Jerry ran fast on his short legs, happily looking for little Lamy who waved to him.
Little Lamy's grandmother was rescued this time. The skinny old woman hugged her grandson and daughter and cried miserably. Her husband, her two sons, and three grandchildren couldn't stand up to me. Luhe Village rescued her. Although she was saved, her previous grief could not be compensated and offset.
The cauldron in Shanghe Village started cooking, and the older people were already beckoning to find a place to live for the newcomers. The condition of the wounded people who came this time was not very good, so they should rest well.
My return brought a sigh of relief to the villagers. In just two short days, they had had enough of the days without me in the village. Seeing me again made many people smile, even if the werewolf on the other side of the river was still stubbornly patrolling. , they are no longer afraid.
The mud-legged people in my Luhe Village were so grateful that they cried with joy and wanted to give a “foot kiss” to thank me for their kindness. I had the heart to cooperate with them, soothe the frightened villagers, and arrange some odds and ends by the way. , but I was so tired that I couldn't keep up. When I got home, I ate something and fell asleep. I didn't get up until late at night. I touched Wang Jerry, who was sleeping beside me, and the two big dogs that woke up. I got up. out of the house.
Three high fires formed a long line of defense in the gap in the wall. A dozen or so adults were in groups of four or five at the border of the fire. When they saw me coming, they all greeted me.
This period of time can be regarded as the most tense day of the year. You can't relax your vigilance during the day and night, and you must prevent the werewolves from crossing the river from attacking outside the village at any time.
In the dark night, the fire can't illuminate the other side, but in the moonlight, no one dares to relax their vigilance.
For the survivors of Luhe Village, this was a great escape. As long as there were people, everything could be said in the future.
At the end of the month, I will be able to cross Shimen to the opposite world again. I think I will bring more food and supplies so that the village will be able to survive this disturbing winter safely.
This time he went out with Wang Jerry, he was also frightened a lot, but the ignorant child is more solid. Probably he, like the other little hairs here, thinks that blood and wounds are common things, and he did not show what I did. Signs of worry, trauma, and the like, gave me a lot of reassurance.
The little guy slept and drank a big bowl of milk, then jumped around and ran around with little Lami. If it wasn't for the fact that the village was unsafe and they were not allowed to leave my sight, they would definitely be running around the village as before.
There is nothing to say about the remaining two days of rest. The survivors brought back from Luhe Village are not really all fragile, old, weak and sick. Many of them cheered up the next day and joined the guards and fortresses. The team, even children know how to help, only the seriously wounded like the old Galle can continue to rest.
At the end of the month, the stone gate opened in the dark night, and I was carrying the goods in the frozen time. This time, not only did I bring back all the people in Luhe Village, but I also received their gold coins, ready to take them to the opposite world to exchange money.
Although the people who came back from Luhe Village have increased the labor force in Shanghe Village, they also have mouths waiting to be fed. I originally brought ten tons of Chinese cabbage and I didn’t have the idea of preparing for them, but now it seems that the sour cabbage is still too much. If there is less, the staple food is not enough. The monthly turnover of my family is simply not enough for me to buy food to feed them all.
I really want to thank the rich gold coins in this world. If you change your hands and get the opposite world, it is money. It can be said that it is worthless. Shan's goods are continuously moved back to Shanghe Village.
