Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 285 - Dig Pits

Chapter 285 - Dig Pits

Su Wan didn't bother with Lin Chen anymore, casting a disdainful glance at him, she turned around and left the room to bring the remaining chickens in the room. She wasn't the only one who was driving her livestock inside her house, everyone in the Dong Tong village were doing the same.? Those who couldn't bring their chicken and pigs inside butchered their livestock then and there.

They would rather sell the meat in the town by braving the cold winds rather than leaving them behind for wolves to eat them. If the wolves got past Lin Jing's defences and descended down the mountains, then they wouldn't even have time to cry! Because whether animals or humans, wolves will attack everyone alike.

Just like these villagers the other half of the village left for their relatives in the town, they didn't want to stay in the village and become stationary food for the wolves, so they prepared their bags and rushed out of the village together with the ones who were going to the town to sell the meat.

The villagers continued with their preparation while Lin Jing and his team continued with theirs, the team was finishing up with their task of digging pit traps when they heard the howls of the wolves. From the sounds of the howls, it was clear that the wolves were getting closer and closer, Lin Jing raised his head and unease settled in his heart.? He was an experienced hunter and knew that the pack of wolves had more than thirty wolves, though they finished digging pit traps they weren't going to be enough for such a big pack of wolves.

They might have to stay behind and clean this pack of wolves on their own, this..this was something Lin Jing wasn't willing to do, not because he was afraid but because he knew how risky it was to face such a big wolf pack. He wasn't just responsible for digging pit traps but also responsible to bring these people who came forward to help him safely to the village without getting anyone hurt.

" Are you done digging? If you have then move on and dig further, or else the wolves will have a way to walk around the trap... Don't be lazy dig more"

Well all except this one, he was willing to leave this man behind you to become wolves food. However, Lin Jing was certain that even if he left Uncle Du behind the wolves might not eat him, that old man smelled so bad like ten-day-old rotten tofu. Wolves with their keen sense of smell might really not even sniff at his body much less eat him.

" Uncle Du, can you shut up?" Lu Lin who came with Lin Jing to a.s.sist the latter in digging pit traps could no longer stay silent, he couldn't understand why this scaredy-cat of a man agreed to come with them. Come with them was putting the matter lightly, Uncle Du has in fact thrown quite a ruckus when Lin Jing was choosing his hunting, saying things like how Lin Jing was trying to shirk away from his responsibility by choosing his friends in the hunting team. Demanding that they take him, the old experienced man who has seen the ways of the world with them, in the end, the village head had to agree even if he didn't want to.

Uncle Du came on the premise that he will help them but he has done nothing to help them, he barely moved after reaching this place where they were going to dig pit traps but he kept running his mouth every now and then, at first everyone silently listened but now it was becoming a really exhausting drag. They wanted to get out of the mountains as soon as they can but Uncle Du, this burdensome full was creating trouble for them, as they needed any more trouble! How annoying!???e?????ѵ??. c??

They believed that Uncle Du was doing all this because he wanted to make trouble for no reason, very much like his personality. How would they know that Uncle Du was trying to delay Lin Jing from leaving until the wolf pack descends, under Luo Chenxi 's commands. It never occurred to them that even under these dangerous circ.u.mstances someone would try to act like an opportunist, To do something like this, it was simply outrageous! These honest friends of Lin Jing never even thought about it like this.

" what are you talking about! How dare you act so rudely to me! you brat" snapped Uncle Du since he took on the job and Luo Chenxi already made the ' payment' he could only thicken his skin and deliberately delay the hunting team from leaving the mountains " I'm just giving you my precious advice after years of experience. You don't know but the wolves are really intelligent animals, if you don't dig the pit properly they won't fall in the trap and soon find a way to escape, I'm just trying to give you my best suggestion here"

" We don't need you to tell us" snapped Chen Cai, Lin Jing another friend who got fed up with Uncle Du's continuous ' experienced advice' " brother Jing has already told us what you are saying before we set off, can't you see we have already dig around the mountains alright? We are finishing up the final touches and we would have been done that if not for you who keeps rambling, can't you see such a simple thing ?"

"You -"

"Shut up" hissed Lin Jing incensed as he hurriedly climbed out of the pit trap while asking his teammates to do the same, the others couldn't understand why Lin Jing was asking them to retreat but when they heard a low menacing growl, they all understood.

The wolves finally descended the mountain. And thanks to Uncle Du who kept causing trouble, they will be the first to bear the brunt.? The hunting team instantly turned stiff, they have never seen wolves before especially of such a big size. They couldn't move until Lin Jing shouted at them to climb up the trees and hide from the incoming wolves.

Only then did they wake up from their daze and hurriedly started climbing up the trees. Others were alright but Lin Jing was not because before he could climb up, Uncle Du hugged him from behind dragging him down " Lin Jing, you -you can't leave me behind. I'm old and I can't climb up trees, if you me alone I will die here, the wolves will kill me please, please stay with me don't climb up"

'Then go and die' was what Lin Jing thought but he was as soft-hearted? and couldn't leave Uncle Du alone. The old man was still human and very much alive, no matter how rude and selfish he was, Lin Jing couldn't leave him alone thus, he stayed beside Uncle Du and hid behind the trees that were covered with snow.

Lin Jing as a kind man didn't catch the vicious glint that pa.s.sed in Uncle Du's eyes.
