Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 227: Wolves Surround the House

After Grandpa Zhao finished reading it, Lu Chuan also studied it for a while and said that this thing came at the right time.

The three grown men kept studying the telescope, just like children who had got their favorite toy and were reluctant to let it go for a moment.

Time flies! In the blink of an eye, it is already August, and Xu Han is now six months pregnant. Grandpa Zhao feels Xu Han's pulse and says that the baby is doing well and she just needs to rest assured and take care of the baby.

Xu Han's appetite has been pretty good recently. She no longer has pregnancy regurgitation and eats more. Her weight is increasing rapidly. In order to prevent herself from gaining too much weight, Xu Han now dares not eat much.

Every day, I eat small meals frequently, including meat, fruits, vegetables, etc., and try to achieve a balanced nutrition.

She would also walk around in the yard after meals and insist on taking a walk for a while every day. Although it was very tiring, Xu Han still persisted in doing so in order to have a better childbirth in the future.

During this period, the door was closed every day, and except for going out to fetch water, people tried not to go out.

The four of them were stuck at home every day, unable to go anywhere. They were really bored, so Lu Chuan took the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao to continue making furniture.

We had plenty of time, so we carved some patterns on the furniture we made. It looked really nice after it was finished, and the style was instantly improved.

Now the water flow at the waterfall has completely dried up. Whenever there is no water in the water tank at home, the four of them will go to the reservoir at the waterfall to fetch water.

Because when Xu Han gave birth, she would have to stay in confinement for a period of time, and it would be inconvenient to go outside to get water at that time. Therefore, the water used before giving birth was always outside water, and we tried not to touch the water in the water tank at home.

Every action is done together, whether it is to fetch water or firewood. The main focus is to act together as a team. Once we go out, we all go together and no one is left at home.

During this period, Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest also discovered a big tiger. In order to eliminate safety hazards, after careful observation and making sure that there were no other large animals nearby, the Taoist priest took Lu Chuan to kill the tiger.

The hunted tigers were also brought back by the two men, and the tiger whips and other medicinal materials were kept by Grandpa Zhao, who prepared them into medicinal materials and preserved them.

Lu Chuan cooked the rest of the tiger meat and fed it to the dogs.

In order to prevent smoke from coming out during the day and being seen by others, Lu Chuan still cooks at night.

We didn’t dare add anything else for fear of attracting other large animals. We simply cooked it and fed it to the dogs.

Tiger skin saltpeter consumes more water to make, so Xu Han simply did not make it. He put it directly into the space and would make it later when there was no shortage of water.

The past month or so has been relatively peaceful, nothing major has happened, and everything has been proceeding in an orderly manner.

That night, because Xu Han slept too much at noon, she didn't feel sleepy yet! She couldn't fall asleep.

So Lu Chuan didn't sleep either. He kept lying on Xu Han's belly and talking to the baby in her belly.

"Baby, I'm your daddy. You have to be good in your mother's belly! Don't be naughty, and don't bother your mother." Lu Chuan said a lot of things in a rambling manner.

The baby in Xu Han's belly seemed to understand. Xu Han and Lu Chuan could clearly see the baby inside kicking Xu Han.

Lu Chuan was amused and laughed, saying, "Why do you still have objections? I'll deal with you when you come out."

Xu Han watched Lu Chuan interacting with the baby in her belly with an auntie's smile on her face.

"It's been six months, and I haven't started making clothes for the baby yet! I'll get out the cloth tomorrow and start making clothes for the baby. It will be too late if I don't start now. What will the baby do if he has no clothes to wear?" Xu Han said.

"Okay, I can't help you with this. If there's anything you need me to do, just call me and I'll do it."

"Okay! I understand. It's getting late. Let's go to bed early!" Xu Han said and prepared to lie down.

Hearing this, Lu Chuan stood up and was about to blow out the lights, but before he could blow out the lights, he heard the dogs outside barking frantically.

Seeing this, the two looked at each other, and they both understood in their hearts that at this time all the dogs were barking loudly, which meant that something big must be happening.

Xu Han, who was already feeling sleepy, suddenly became alert. Seeing this, Lu Chuan quickly grabbed Xu Han's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, my wife. You stay in the room. I'll go out and take a look."

"Okay, be careful." Lu Chuan was about to walk out of the room when he heard that. Before he even opened the door, he heard the Taoist's voice coming from outside.

"Xiaochuan, open the door quickly." Grandpa Zhao said in a low voice.

When Lu Chuan opened the door, he saw Grandpa Zhao walking in. The Taoist priest had already gently opened the door a crack and began to observe the situation outside.

The dogs outside the door lined up in front of the door, determined to protect their owners inside.

"Go and check out the situation with the Taoist priest! Be sure to be safe. Don't worry about Xiaohan! I'm here!" Grandpa Zhao said after he came in.

"Okay, then thank you for your hard work, Grandpa Zhao. You hold the door from the inside and you must not come out no matter what happens." Lu Chuan said.

"I understand. You go and check out the situation! If it doesn't work, we can hide in the cellar." Xu Han said.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan said nothing more, hurried out of the room, and began to observe the situation outside with the Taoist priest.

"It's a pack of wolves. There should be quite a few of them. It seems you won't be able to sleep well tonight." The Taoist priest said when he saw Lu Chuan coming.

Lu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, as long as it wasn't a human. But when he heard that there were quite a few wolves in the pack, he became nervous again.

He said, "What should we do? Wolves are the most vengeful animals. We must hunt them all down. Not a single one can be spared."

"We don't know how many wolves are outside now. Let's move Xiaohan to the cellar first. Don't let her stay in the house. It will be troublesome if a wolf runs in." The Taoist priest said calmly.

"Okay, I got it." Lu Chuan said and went back to the room.

After entering the room, he blocked the windows from the inside, and then said to Xu Han, "It's a pack of wolves. I'll take you to the cellar to hide for a while. It's not safe to stay here. If we don't notice and a wolf sneaks in, it will be troublesome."

When Xu Han heard that it was a pack of wolves, although she was very scared, she still pretended to be calm and said, "Okay, I can't help you with anything, so I will just stay in the cellar and try not to cause you any trouble."
