The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Chapter 399 The Wolves Are Coming 4

Huo Zhengping sat in the house, listening to the people in the front and back streets making noises and running towards the east end of the village. He felt a little uneasy.

He went out of the house again, found a pine stick and some hemp rope, and wrapped it around his head in a thick layer. He went into the house and melted half of Yang Waizui's candle into wax water, then dipped the hemp rope on the wooden stick into the wax water to make a torch.

He gave the torch to his son,

"You hold it, and if the wolf comes, light it."

Huo Jun kept watching his father's operation and knew that he would make a second one when there were no more candles.

"Dad, take it. I have a big stick."

Huo Zhengping, "Take them all."

He picked up the axe and the enamel basin that he had flattened yesterday.

"Go out and have a look again."

The barn is at the west end of the village. Don't let the wolves make a feint to the east and attack in the west. These beasts are very cunning.

The father and son went out of the house again and checked the barn.

As soon as I turned the corner, a gust of wind blew towards me.

Huo Zhengping took a step back, raised the enamel basin to meet it, and shouted at the same time.

"Be careful."

Huo Jun knew there was a wolf, so he didn't bother to light a fire. He took a step sideways, dodged Huo Zhengping, and rushed forward, swinging a wooden stick.

He got there before Huo Zhengping and hit the wolf on the waist with a stick.

Huo Zhengping withdrew the enamel basin in his left hand and chopped down with the axe in his right hand. The axe hit the wolf's head and directly split it open.

Four more wolves pounced on them from behind.

Huo Jun had just dropped the torch on the ground, and now he grabbed the wooden stick with both hands and swung it around.

But the two wolves surrounded him and bit him. When they swung to this side, the one on the other side came up, and when they swung to the other side, the one on this side came up.

He had no military training and his physical strength was average, so his speed in swinging the stick soon slowed down.

The wolves were very agile, tearing one and biting another. Soon the cotton jacket and trousers were torn into pieces, and the skin and flesh were bitten in many places.

Huo Jun gritted his teeth, glared, and swung the wooden stick fiercely.

He couldn't lose. He couldn't bring shame to his father and the Huo family.

Huo Zhengping also faced two wolves. His weapon was sharp but short and more vulnerable to injury.

He roared in a deep voice,

"There's a wolf over here~!"

Then hold your breath and concentrate on fighting the wolves.

The two wolves also wanted to use the same method they used against Huo Jun to deal with Huo Zhengping.

But Huo Zhengping has sharp reactions and fighting skills acquired through years of combat and training.

Huo Zhengping swung his axe with great force.

A wolf pretended to pounce forward, but Huo Zhengping did not chop it from top to bottom. Instead, he suddenly lay down, rolled on the spot, and swept his axe across, chopping off one of the wolf's front legs.

The wolf let out a shrill howl.

Huo Zhengping succeeded and quickly rolled to the side, kneeling on one knee, preparing to stand up.

The other wolf was already there, biting him on the back.

Huo Zhengping had no choice but to fall to the ground again and turned around to use the enamel basin to block. The wolf weighed more than 100 pounds and was very strong. It pounced on Huo Zhengping, refused to give in, and bit Huo Zhengping's arm.

Huo Zhengping fell on his back and swung the axe in his right hand to chop at the wolf's neck.

The wolf was very alert. It quickly dodged and jumped more than two meters away. Then it turned around and bared its teeth threateningly at Huo Zhengping.

The wolf with a broken leg did not run away. Instead, it took advantage of Huo Zhengping fighting against another wolf and bit Huo Zhengping's leg from behind.

Huo Zhengping raised his foot and kicked hard. The wolf with a broken leg was not able to move smoothly and was kicked in the mouth by Huo Zhengping, but it was not fatal.

The other wolf saw Huo Zhengping turn around to deal with the wolf with a broken leg, and quickly pounced over and tried to bite his neck.

Huo Zhengping didn't care about the wolf with a broken leg. He rolled on the ground to avoid the wolf's mouth. Before he could get up, the axe was chopped towards the wolf's head. The wolf dodged backwards and barely avoided it, but a large piece of hair on its chin was chopped off.

The wolf with a broken leg stepped forward, bit Huo Zhengping's leg and pulled it back.

Fortunately, its leg was injured and it was not moving very fast.

Huo Zhengping used an enamel basin to protect his head and neck, twisted his body, and kicked the broken-legged wolf's nose with one leg.

The wolf with a broken leg felt the pain and relaxed.

Huo Zhengping stood up and rushed towards the foot, chopping the back of the wolf's neck with an axe.

The bones broke instantly, half of the neck was chopped off, and blood spurted out.

The wolf behind him followed Huo Zhengping and pounced on him. It had already reached his back and was about to bite the back of his neck.

When Huo Zhengping turned around, his face rubbed against the wolf's lips.

Just as the wolf was about to bite his neck, Huo Zhengping chopped hard with the axe in his hand.

At the critical moment, there was no time to think, it was a completely instinctive attack.

The axe struck the wolf on the front shoulder, and because the force was so strong, even the bone was broken, and the wolf was pushed to the side and rear.

The wolf's fangs didn't bite through, but they did cut Huo Zhengping's skin, leaving two long cuts on his neck and the blood staining his cotton jacket red.

Huo Zhengping was completely unaware of the pain at this time. He swung the axe again and chopped off the wolf's neck.

He turned and ran to save his son.

At this time, people who heard Huo Zhengping's shouting came over to help, and saw the father and son each hacking at a wolf.

The wolf no longer pounced, but dodged left and right, but did not run away.

Until a group of people came running over, shouting.

Kong Guicai shouted in the crowd,

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, or I'll shoot it dead."

People stepped back to make room for him.

When the two wolves saw people coming, they ran away.

Seeing that Kong Guicai was about to shoot, Huo Zhengping hurriedly pulled Huo Jun to the side.

Who knows where his bullets are flying!

I heard two gunshots.

Huo Zhengping pushed his son down and protected him under his body.

A bullet flew over Huo Zhengping, and Huo Zhengping could even feel the blast of the bullet breaking through the air.

Damn it, if this was one of our former soldiers, he would be beaten up or put in solitary confinement for a month if not shot.

Huo Zhengping was so angry that his teeth were chattering.

Help your son up.

A group of people were clamoring, mocking Kong Guicai's poor marksmanship, and carrying two dead wolves into the house.

Huo Zhengping is now undergoing labor reform and is no longer a leader. No one cares whether he is injured or not, and they rarely interact with him and his son.

Seeing that they could stand and walk, no one came over to ask them what was going on.

Huo Zhengping asked his son where he was injured.

Huo Jun was afraid that his father would worry, so he just said that he was fine and moved his limbs for Huo Zhengping to see.

It’s no big deal.

Everyone had already entered the house. Huo Zhengping thought something was wrong. The wolf was attacking them so hard. Could it be that it wanted to eat human flesh?

Isn't it?

Then they must have other purposes.

Huo Zhengping went to find the torch, lit it, and walked around the barn.

Sure enough, the corn stalks in the place where the wolf dug out yesterday were different.

Handing the torch to Huo Jun, Huo Zhengping poked it inside with a wooden stick, and a wolf jumped out and ran away howling.

Huo Zhengping pulled aside the corn stalks and saw that a hole had been dug in the wall. If he didn't come to check, some animals would have been dug out.

Huo Zhengping took Huo Jun back to the house. Both he and his son were injured, so he decided to let other people guard the cave!
