There was still room for her Uncle to save Gu Zhang. Gu Qing and Gu Erlang were about to chop the wolf down with their knives in their hands.
But Gu Fei still raised her gun and fired several shots at the wolf’s head.
The wolf’s body stiffened, and it slid off Gu Zhang’s body and fell to the ground, eyes open, with one breath left.
Gu Fei hurried over: “Dad, how are you?”
Gu Zhang was speechless.
Gu Fei saw the bloody patch on her father’s neck.
She quickly took out the golden wound medicine she bought at the pharmacy and the clean cloth strips she had prepared earlier and threw them to Gu Qing: “Bring Dad inner side and apply the medicine!”
Gu Qing took the medicine bottle with a trembling hand and quickly pulled his father into the circle.
Gu Fei only took a glance and turned back.
Now was not the time to relax vigilance. Uncle Ma said that there were five or six wolves.
Gu Fei put away the gun, and she held the long knife tightly, still looking around vigilantly.
At this time, there was a commotion behind her, and Gu Fei guessed that wolves were running over there.
She didn’t move.
There was Uncle Ma and another guard of the county magistrate’s son, both of whom were good fighters, so she didn’t have to worry.
Her mission was to guard this side.
The women in the middle were all huddled together, especially when they saw the bloody mess on Gu Zhang’s neck, they were all scared, but at least they didn’t scream.
Only Aunt Liu, Mrs. Chen, and the eldest aunt were relatively calm.
Mrs. Chen helped Gu Zhang lie down, opened the medicine bottle, sprinkled the medicine powder on him, and then wrapped it with a cloth strip, while the eldest aunt and Aunt Liu helped beside her.
After bandaging the wound, Mrs. Chen asked Gu Zhang tremblingly: “Husband, are you okay?”
Gu Zhang waved his hand slightly, his heart was full of fear after surviving a disaster.
He felt that the wolf was about to bite his throat, but fortunately, his daughter hit the wolf with something, and the strength in the wolf’s mouth loosened immediately.
Two wolves also came from Uncle Ma’s side. He and Chen Hu worked together to kill both wolves in a short while.
After catching his breath for a while, Uncle Ma suddenly bent down and lay on the ground, listening to something. After listening for a long time, he stood up turned to everyone, and said: “The other two wolves should have left.”
“I don’t know if they will come again. This won’t work. We can’t hold on for a whole night.”
He said quickly: “Everyone hurry up and bring firewood over and light a circle of fire outside.”
The women crowded in the middle and didn’t move. Uncle Ma roared: “Why are you still standing there? Go and get firewood. Hurry up while the wolves are gone!”
There was a lot of firewood piled up around, which was picked up by each family and prepared to burn at night. It was already the end of October. It was too cold to light a fire in the wild without a pile of fire.
Uncle Ma walked around and directed everyone where to light the fire.
Several women walked around the wolf corpse on the ground in fear, while holding firewood with trembling bodies.
Uncle Ma didn’t stop until the fires lit around and formed a circle.
He suddenly saw Bao’er. He stared at him fiercely: “Were you the one who yelled just now? Didn’t you hear what I said before?”
Bao’er was so scared that he shrank behind his mother.
Mrs. Qian said quickly: “Uncle Ma, he is a little kid and doesn’t know anything. Besides, the wolf came, who wouldn’t be scared? It would be strange if he didn’t yell!”
Uncle Ma said coldly: “Is he the only little kid here? Why didn’t others yell, but he did?”
“I specifically gave an order at the beginning. But you, not only you don’t take good care of your child, you are still quibbling here!”
“If he hadn’t yelled just now, the wolves wouldn’t necessarily have pounced on us!”
Mrs. Qian felt wronged: “How can you blame Bao’er for this? Besides, the wolf was beaten to death, and no one died. Why are you still complaining?”
