Half-Night Wolf Cry
There is a locust forest in the north of our village, and there is a sheep farm in the forest, which belongs to the old Liu Tou in the village. Old Liu Tou was alone and lived in the sheep farm for many years.
I heard from the old people in the village that the locust forest was originally a mass grave, and later the village leveled the mass grave and planted locust trees. I don't know when it began, every midnight, there would be a strange cry of "whoa-whoa-whoa-woo" in the locust woods, and the sound was desolate and terrifying, like a wolf's howl.
The people in the village said that there were wolves in the locust forest, but Lao Liu Tou did not believe in evil and insisted on building a sheep farm in the forest. After it was completed, Lao Liu Tou moved to live in the sheep farm and lived with a flock of sheep every day.
One night, Lao Liu Tou was drinking porridge in the house, when he suddenly heard the sound of a sheep crying outside, and the sound was very urgent, as if he had encountered something terrible. Lao Liu's heart tightened, and he quickly put down the bowl and went out with a flashlight to look.
I saw chaos in the sheepfold, dozens of sheep huddled together, trembling all over, and kept calling. Lao Liu Tou counted and found that there was a sheep missing. His heart sank, knowing that he had met a wolf. He quickly closed the door of the sheepfold and lit torches around it.
Lao Liu Tou has lived in the sheep farm for so many years, and it is the first time he has encountered a wolf. He sat at the door of the sheepfold, a flashlight in one hand and a stick in the other, his eyes fixed on the movements around him.
I waited for most of the night, but there was no sign of the wolf. Lao Liu Tou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he still didn't dare to be careless, for fear that the wolf would come to attack again at night.
Early the next morning, Lao Liu Tou went to the village and told the village chief about last night. The village chief pondered for a long time and said, "It seems that there are really wolves in that locust forest, and it is not a way to go on like this, so you have to think of a way." ”
Old Liu Tou said, "Why don't I dig a trap around the sheepfold, and if the wolf comes again, I can catch it." ”
The village chief thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, then it's hard for you." ”
When Lao Liu Tou got home, he began to dig traps. He chose a place in the corner of the sheepfold, dug a large hole, and covered it with branches and leaves, so that there was no trace of it. Then he sprinkled some sheep dung around the trap to lure the wolf over.
When everything was ready, Lao Liu Tou stood at the door of the sheepfold, waiting for the wolf to come again.
However, to Lao Liu's surprise, the wolf did not come back. For several days, the sheep farm was unusually calm. Lao Liu Tou felt a little uneasy in his heart and felt that something was wrong.
That night, Lao Liu Tou was lying on the bed, and suddenly heard a familiar "bleating" sound outside. He hurriedly got up and went out to look, only to see that there was chaos in the sheepfold again, and the sheep were huddled together and kept calling. And this time, Lao Liu Tou found that two sheep were missing.
He hurriedly closed the door of the sheepfold, lit a torch, and looked around. However, this time the wolf did not flee like last time, but hid in the shadows, staring at the flock.
Old Liu's heart tightened, he knew that he was in big trouble this time. He picked up the stick and walked cautiously into the shadows. Suddenly, he heard a low wolf roar, and then a tall gray wolf rushed out of the shadows and pounced on him.
Old Liu Tou was taken aback, but reacted quickly, he quickly dodged to the side, and at the same time waved his wooden stick and hit the wolf. The wolf dodged his attack, but was also beaten by him and howled.
Lao Liu Tou knew that he was not the opponent of the wolf, so he could only delay as much as possible and wait for dawn to find a way. He waved his stick as he retreated towards the sheepfold. The wolf followed him closely, letting out a menacing growl.
Just as Lao Liu Tou retreated to the door of the sheepfold, he suddenly found that the camouflage on the trap had been peeled off by the wolf, revealing the big pit below. He had an idea, and quickly ran towards the trap, shouting at the same time: "Come on, wolf cub, Lao Tzu will fight with you!"
The wolf was attracted by Lao Liutou's shout, and also ran towards the trap. Just as the wolf was about to pounce on Lao Liu, Lao Liutou jumped suddenly and jumped into the trap. The wolf also got into it, and fell into the pit with a "plop".
Old Liu Tou took the opportunity to climb out of the trap, picked up a wooden stick and hit the pit. The wolf scurried around in the pit and tried to climb up, but could not climb up anyway. Lao Liu Tou scolded while beating: "Let you be arrogant, a wolf cub, see if you dare to steal sheep in the future!"
After fighting for a while, Lao Liu Tou felt relieved, so he stopped. He looked into the pit and saw that the wolf had collapsed to the ground, motionless. Old Liu Tou knew that the wolf had been killed, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He went back to the sheepfold and counted the sheep, and found that two were missing. He felt a little annoyed in his heart, and felt that he was too careless, and let the wolf succeed twice. He secretly decided that he must be more careful in the future.
The next day, Lao Liu Tou dragged the killed wolf back to the village, and the wolf howled in the middle of the night
The village chief and the villagers were surprised to see the wolf dragged back by Lao Liutou. They praised Lao Liu Tou for his bravery, and he killed a wolf with the strength of one person. Although Lao Liu Tou was a little proud, he was more afraid. He knew that if he hadn't discovered and set a trap in time, he was afraid that the entire sheep farm would have suffered.
The village chief decided to hold a celebration in the village, firstly to celebrate Lao Liu's successful wolf fight, and secondly, to remind the villagers to be vigilant and prevent wolves from attacking again. On the day of the event, the village was bustling with excitement, and everyone gathered together to laugh and laugh.
However, just as the event was reaching its climax, there was a sudden rush of sheep crows. Lao Liu's heart tightened, he immediately threw down the wine glass in his hand and ran towards the sheep farm.
When he arrived at the sheep farm, Lao Liu Tou was stunned by the scene in front of him. There was chaos in the sheepfold, the sheep fled in all directions, and a tall gray wolf was standing in the pen, frantically biting a sheep. Old Liu Tou was angry, he picked up a wooden stick and rushed towards the wolf. However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed that the wolf's eyes were wrong. Those eyes were glowing with a faint blue light, as if there was some kind of magic.
Old Liu's heart trembled, and he felt as if he was sucked by those eyes and couldn't move. At that moment, the wolf suddenly pounced on him. Old Liu Tou was so frightened that he could only close his eyes and wait for the judgment of fate.
However, unexpectedly, the wolf did not bite him, but swept past him and rushed out of the sheepfold. Old Liu Tou opened his eyes and saw that the wolf had fled away. He froze in place and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Afterwards, Lao Liu Tou told the village chief and the villagers about the incident. Everyone thought it was incredible, and they all guessed what was going on with the wolf. Some people say it's a demon wolf, some people say it's a god wolf, in short, it's not an ordinary wolf.
Old Liu Tou also felt that something was wrong with the wolf, and he decided to be more cautious in the future to prevent the wolf from attacking again. At the same time, he began to study the wolf's eyes, hoping to find out the secret.
However, there has been no progress in Lao Liu's research. The wolf's eyes seemed to be an unsolvable mystery, and he became more and more confused. He began to doubt his own abilities and even the whole world.
Just when Lao Liu Tou was confused, a mysterious person came to the sheep farm. He claimed to be a Taoist priest, and after hearing about Lao Liu's wolf beating, he came to check it out. The Taoist priest walked around in the sheep farm, and then told Lao Liu Tou that the wolf was not an ordinary wolf, but a wolf demon who had cultivated to become a refinement.
Old Liu Tou was dumbfounded when he heard this, he didn't expect that he would encounter the legendary wolf demon. The Taoist priest told him that the eyes of the wolf demon had mysterious powers, which could confuse people's minds and make people lose their ability to resist. Fortunately, the wolf demon did not have malicious intent, otherwise Lao Liu would have died a long time ago.
The Taoist priest also told Lao Liu Tou that the reason why the wolf demon appeared here was because the aura in the locust forest attracted it. After hearing this, Lao Liu suddenly realized that the locust forest was really a mysterious place.
The Taoist priest gave Lao Liu Tou some charms and magic weapons, and told him how to prevent the wolf demon from attacking again. Lao Liu Tou was grateful, and he decided to be more cautious in the future and protect his sheep farm.
Since then, Lao Liu Tou has never encountered an attack by a wolf demon. He is always on the lookout for movement around him, guarding his flock. And the aura in the locust forest seems to have become more intense, as if some mysterious power is secretly guarding this land.
The story of Lao Liu Tou spread in the village, and everyone was full of admiration and gratitude for him. They all said that they wanted to learn from Lao Liu's bravery and wisdom and jointly protect this land. And Lao Liu Tou has always maintained a modest and cautious attitude, he knows that his task is still very arduous, and he cannot relax in the slightest.
In this way, Lao Liu Tou and his flock spent many years peacefully in the sheep farm in the locust forest. And the mysterious wolf demon never appeared again.
