At this moment, a door suddenly opened on the wall, and a middle-aged man waved his hand and whispered: "Follow me, everyone." The four people seemed to have met a savior and hurriedly entered the wall passage. The middle-aged man, wearing a long robe and a melon-pipe hat, led the way. After walking for about half an hour, a door appeared in front of him. The middle-aged man knocked on the door, and the door opened a crack, revealing a dark-skinned young man inside. The young man said, "Shopkeeper Qi, is there anything going on?" The middle-aged man called Shopkeeper Qi pointed at them one by one and said, "There are a few foreigners who have escaped from the wolf pack." The young man stood aside and watched. When Chen Dong and the other four people came out one after another, they couldn't help but be startled because the clothes of Chen Dong and others were very different from his. The young man wore a short-sleeved jacket with a strip of cloth tied around his waist. He carried a wide-blade machete on his back, a pair of lantern pants, leggings, and thin-soled fast boots. The young man clasped his fists toward Chen Dong and others and said, "Everyone, please." Chen Dong and others also clasped their fists. Shopkeeper Qi turned around and closed the door, took a deep breath and said, "Zhang Ding, notify the chef to prepare meals for the four guests." With that said, shopkeeper Qi led Chen Dong and others to a patio. The hall was filled with people of all ages, hundreds of people. Directly in front is a large 'gate' with high walls on the left and right, and behind it is a three-story building. Two large palace lanterns hang on the entrance hall. When people in the courtyard saw Chen Dong and others coming in, they all looked in surprise. Sitting on the Grand Master's chair in the middle was an official, about fifty years old, looking rich, wearing a silk robe, with several servants standing behind him. Next to him, there was a chair. Sitting on the chair was a woman, eighteen or nineteen years old, with high hair on her temples and a face as bright as the moon. She was silently looking at Chen Dong and others. Next to the woman stood a maid in a green dress. Shopkeeper Qi hugged the officials and said, "Master Zhuang, a few guests have come to the inn." Master Zhuang looked at Chen Dong and others and said, "There is a supernatural phenomenon in Zhuang City. People from outside can't come in. The people inside can't get out. Where did they come from? Their hair styles and clothes look different from ours." Chen Dong clasped his fists and said, "Master Zhuang, in fact, we are also a little confused, unintentionally. "I was brought in by a ball of golden light. Did something weird happen here?" Mr. Zhuang nodded: "Time seems to have stopped now. About three days ago, a hunter in our Zhuang City killed a wolf. Then there was a big mess. All the wolves in the mountains seemed to be concentrated here? ""Is this a mountain range?" "Yes, there were tens of thousands of wolves in the mountains for hundreds of miles, and they suddenly rushed into Zhuang City. The people in the city are dead and injured, and the survivors are concentrated in the county government. Fortunately, we don¡¯t have to worry about hunger and thirst. Otherwise, hundreds of people will starve to death here. " There were bursts of noise from outside. The howls of wolves came one after another. It was obvious that the wolves had tightly surrounded the county government office. The young lady suddenly said: "Dad, the people watching upstairs just now said that wolves are attacking the Western Wall. We don't have many bows and arrows left. Once we lose our bows and arrows, the wolves will jump over the wall." Mr. Zhuang After thinking for a while, she said, "Tell the soldiers guarding the wall to shoot one arrow at a time and shoot sparingly." Ye Yingying said, "I'll go take a look." As she said that, Ye Yingying floated and jumped to the west. Under the wall, he jumped up and landed on the top of the wall. The soldiers lying on the wall were stunned when they saw a woman jumping up. Ye Yingying asked: "How is the situation outside?" The soldier said that he reported and shot more than thirty wolves. However, the wolf pack was endless, and he didn't know when the current situation of human-wolf confrontation would end. Ye Yingying looked outside and saw that it was dark outside, full of wolves, with their eyes glowing green. Looking further, Ye Yingying found a tree outside the wall. The reason why the wolves chose the west wall was because they used that tree as a jumping platform. The tree was only about two meters away from the wall. The wolf only had to climb up the tree and jump over. Ye Yingying jumped down, returned to the patio, clasped her fists and said, "Master Zhuang, the wolves chose the west wall to attack because of the tree outside." Master Zhuang smiled bitterly and said: "We have known for a long time. When there is a problem, we will not be able to solve it. "If you go, you can't cut down the tree." Ye Yingying thought: With her own hand, she might be able to resist for a while, but it would be too dangerous to rush to cut down the tree. Mr. Zhuang said: "We have thought of several strategies, such as hanging the soldiers with ropes and cutting down the trees with axes. However, cutting the trees too high will not help, and cutting them too low will be too dangerous. In addition?We also considered building a protective net first to protect our people from going out through the gate. However, if a pack of wolves swarmed up, it would be too dangerous for our people. Zhang Ding said: "Master Zhuang, I am not afraid. Please give me three brothers. I am willing to go out and cut down trees. Even if I die in the mouth of a wolf, as long as the trees are cut down, everyone will be safe." Master Zhuang shook his head: "Zhuang City has already lost a lot of people, and I don't want any more damage." Zhang Ding stamped his feet and said, "The worst is to die. A man will die and not die. For everyone's safety, it's worth it." " Some young people said: "Zhang Ding is right. We formed a tree-cutting team and cut down trees from the door and the wall at the same time. Mr. Zhuang shook his head: "It's useless. There are so many wolves. I found that they are also organized and will definitely divide into two groups. But we can only kill you and it will not help." " Luoluo looked at Chen Dong and saw that he was looking at the tree crown outside. She asked, "Master Chen, what can you do? " Chen Dong thought for a while and said: "I just thought of a way, I don't know if it will work. Mr. Zhuang hurriedly said: "Brother, if you have any idea, you might as well tell me." " Chen Dong asked: "Master Zhuang, I wonder if the county government has fuel or anything like that. Mr. Zhuang's eyes lit up and he said, "You meanburning trees?" " Chen Dong nodded. Everyone was talking about it, and they all felt that this method was feasible. Mr. Zhuang laughed loudly, stood up and said, "This method is worth a try. Even if the tree cannot be burned, our soldiers will not be injured or killed. Besides, it is feasible. Give those evil wolves a painful blow. "So, Mr. Zhuang ordered Zhang Ding to take action. Mr. Zhuang clasped his fists and said, "I haven't asked a few high-ranking names yet. "The four of them all introduced themselves, and Mr. Zhuang also introduced a few people around him. The man with the melon skin hat was named Qi, and he was the shopkeeper of Ke Lai Ju. The black man was named Zhang Ding. The lady next to him was her daughter, and the waiter The girl's name was Cui'er. After a while, someone brought food. Master Zhuang said with a smile: "Time has stopped. People in Zhuangcheng don't know how to be hungry, but you have just arrived. You must be hungry. Please have a meal." . " Luoluo was hungry for a long time, so she grabbed a piece of cake and ate it. Chen Dong and others were no longer polite and started eating one after another. Before they were full, there was a raging fire outside the courtyard wall, accompanied by real wolves. The howling sound was extremely miserable, and it was obviously burned by the fire. Chen Dong was touched in his heart, and said in his heart: Although the people of Zhuangcheng will not be able to live in peace until the evil wolf is eliminated, no matter which side wins in the human-wolf war. It was a cruel and inhumane war. It would be great if there was a way to drive the wolves out of the city, and drive them back into the mountains so that they would not come out again. Chen Dong lowered his head and groaned, and Luo Luo suddenly leaned over and bit him. The ear said: "Master Chen, Miss Zhuang is looking at you. " Luoluo's voice was beautiful, and her breath was like orchid. Chen Dong's heartstrings were shaken. Hearing her words again, he unconsciously glanced at Miss Zhuang. Sure enough, he saw Miss Zhuang looking at him seriously, her eyes full of tears. Tenderness. Chen Dong's face turned red and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to raise it again. Ye Yingying sat on the other side of Luo Luo and asked in a low voice: "What are you laughing at?" " Luoluo just laughed and didn't answer. The flames shot up to the sky and made a crackling sound. About half an hour later, Zhang Ding ran over and said with a smile: "Master Zhuang, the tree was burned down, and dozens of wolves were burned to death. Withdrew. Mr. Zhuang was overjoyed: "That's great. It's taken my breath away these days." " Zhang Ding looked at Chen Dong and said, "This big brother has a very good idea, and I discovered one thing, wolves are afraid of fire. Master Zhuang laughed loudly: "Zhang Ding, send someone to make firearms and fireware immediately." " "yes. "Zhang Ding hurried down. Master Zhuang clasped his fists at Chen Dong: "Brother Lu, you are the saviors of Zhuang City. We will definitely kill all the wolves this time. " Chen Dong frowned slightly and said, "Master Zhuang, can you drive them back to the mountain? Mr. Zhuang was stunned: "Why?" " Chen Dong sighed: "Wolves are also alive. I think this is a bit cruel and inhumane. Master Zhuang groaned and said, "Brother Lu, I didn't expect you to be so kind-hearted, but have you ever thought about it, if I let these wolves go, what will the relatives of the dead people in Zhuang City do to me?" They wanted to eat these wolves alive, hundreds of lives. You didn't see the tragic situation of them being attacked by wolves. " Chen Dong lowered his head. "And" Mr. Zhuang said: "The recent events have been extremely strange. These wolves seem to be more cruel than usual. They will never stay in the mountains safely. Even if we let them go, what will happen if they come out to cause harm again? By then, there will be rivers of blood, and we don¡¯t know how many people will suffer.¡± Luoluo saw Chen Dong lowering his head and said nothing, so she shook his hand and said softly: ¡°Master Zhuang is right, wolves cannot have human nature. If we let them go, they won't let us go." Chen Dong nodded. He knew what Mr. Zhuang said was reasonable, but he was just thinking about the reason for the appearance of the wolves. "Master Zhuang" Chen Dong raised his head and asked: "Can you tell me the specific reason why humans and wolves become enemies?" Master Zhuang sighed: "Our ancestor in Zhuangcheng was once a hunter, and his mother was seriously ill. In urgent need of silver, the hunter went into the mountains and killed a wolf. When he came back, he found out that it was a female wolf that was pregnant with wolf cubs. According to the ancestral training of hunters, a pregnant female wolf must not be hunted. " " "So what?" "It is said that when the ancestor of Orion was in his infancy, he was blown into the mountains by a strong wind and was carried into the wolf den by a she-wolf who had just given birth to a wolf pup. The she-wolf did not eat the baby, but He fed him with his own milk. When his ancestors grew up, they returned to the clan. At that time, there were many hunters in the clan. He was a young man and had no right to ask the clansmen to do anything. Later, he finally became the clan leader. This clan rule was promulgated. Unexpectedly, this ancestral precept was broken by the descendants of Orion not long ago. Then, supernatural phenomena occurred in Zhuang City" Chen Dong nodded, he felt that this matter was really like a Buddha. Everyone says the same cause and effect. In fact, there are many profound words in the Heart Sutra. At this time, Chen Dong thought about them one by one and felt a lot. Those words, every word, were like pearls, shining brightly, making Chen Dong suddenly feel a layer of warmth in his heart. The warmth came in waves, like sea water hitting his heart. The light of the Buddha beads on the spiritual platform shone, combining with the pearl-like light in my heart.
