Chapter 44: Fengxi and the Black Bear
The fire tree walked forward more than ten meters, and the black bear no longer retreated, and if it did not retreat, it did not mean that it had regained its ferocity of the wild, but that there was no way to retreat. The massive semi-crypt houses behind it blocked its retreat. At this time, the black bear was no longer a huge hedgehog, and the sweat all the fur was wet, and the locks were attached to the body, as if they had just been fished out of the water. Trembling and half-lying on the ground, a pair of jewel-like eyes also lost their light, and he looked pitifully at the man walking slowly in front of him.
The animal is the most sensitive to danger, and it regrets that it came out to walk today, and even more regrets that it has to chase this thin little girl when it has a delicious roe deer that it does not eat. The black bear was lying lower and lower, his chin firmly pressed to the ground, and he just looked at the man who was walking step by step. It was so much smaller than itself, but in its eyes, it was as tall as a giant, and a hand from small to large appeared on its head and rubbed it gently. The fear in his heart slowly subsided with gentleness, but the black bear still didn't dare to look directly at the man in front of him.
Huoshu also felt strange in his heart, such a big bear was not so cruel, if he hadn't just seen it chasing the girl, he wouldn't believe it.
Fortunately, Huoshu has experience in feeding bears, and knows how to catch it comfortably, and after calming it for a while, he picked it up with one hand. The black bear was much larger than the fire tree, and after the neck was lifted, the two forepaws hung limply on the ground, and the fire tree dragged it towards the girl.
Seeing the fire tree pinching the back of the bear's neck with one hand, and effortlessly dragging the black bear to him, the girl's mouth was wide open, her eyes were round, and she pointed at the fire tree for a long time without saying a word.
"I'm from the Suiming clan, and my name is Huoshu. Seeing the girl's panic and fear, Huoshu opened his mouth first.
"I, I add Feng Xi, Feng Clan, Feng Xi. The girl stumbled into herself, staring at the man in front of her in disbelief.
Huoshu looked at Feng Xi, who was a little trembling, and smiled, knowing that the girl who had just escaped death had not recovered yet, and was not in a hurry to leave, so he dragged the bear into a relatively large semi-crypt house. When he entered the house, he obviously felt that the black bear was trembling, and he looked very afraid, but he didn't dare to disobey the man in front of him, and was forced to be dragged into the house helplessly.
The same building pattern, the same emptiness, the fire tree threw the black bear on the hay, looked left and right, and didn't feel like a bear lived, and then ignored the black bear and walked out of the house. The poor black bear was lying on the haystack, trembling all over, but he didn't dare to move.
Huoshu came to Fengxi's side again, looking at the beautiful girl kneeling on the ground, and a trace of pity was born in his heart. Then Huoshu squatted in front of Feng Xi, looked at her beautiful big eyes, and asked gently, "Are you better?" Don't you know that this area is a forbidden area?"
Feng Xi replied with some grievances: "How can I not know, it is not the first time I have entered the mountain, I have my own things to do." ”
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Huoshu knew that most of the people who came to the forbidden area were two types of people, one was helpless because of life embarrassment, and the other wanted to seek the glory of glory. Of course, there are people like the Fire Tree, but there are too few and too few, after all, only by living can you enjoy the adoring gaze. And women rarely come to the forbidden area for glory, after all, this kind of reputation that is desperately exchanged for is really not as easy as marrying a good man.
Huo Shu looked at the slightly tired face sympathetically, and asked softly, "Is your family in distress?"
Feng Xi looked at the fire tree with a sympathetic face, as if he was looking at an idiot, and his crisp words rushed out of his mouth: "Is our Feng clan like a declining family?"
Huoshu knew that he was wrong after asking, and instantly felt that his cheeks were hot, and the girl in front of him was wearing deerskin clothes and wolfskin boots, how could she be a person with an embarrassed family. Then Feng Xi's sentence "Our Feng Clan" made Huo Shu's whole face red, yes, that is the Feng Clan, like the Suiming Clan, it is also a big clan that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and many elders in the clan were born in this family.
Fortunately, Huoshu's slightly dark skin covered the blush on his face, and Feng Xi didn't taunt him anymore.
Huoshu smiled awkwardly before saying, "I've been out of the clan for a few years, so, so, hehe." ”
Feng Xi didn't really care about these things, and after slowly standing up, he moved his somewhat sore limbs, and then remembered that there was a bear in the house not far away. Thinking of this, Feng Xi was a little frightened, reached out and grabbed the arm of the fire tree, and his body naturally touched it, and then asked, "Did you kill that bear?"
Being treated like this by a young girl, it was the first time that Huoshu encountered it, and he felt a little dizzy and his mouth was dry, so he shook his head vigorously before replying: "No, it's very good." ”
"Good!" Feng Xi stared at the fire tree in surprise with her big shining eyes.
"It's pretty good, let's take it with us when we leave in a while, I have a place to keep it." "Huoshu really likes that black bear, and such a big bear, I believe it is difficult to encounter it again.
"You're still raising it?"
"What's the problem?"
"Do you have a lot of meat to feed it?"
"Oh, I didn't think about it, my bear cubs are all looking for food on their own. ”
"You still have a lot of bear cubs?"
"yes, it's a lot of grabbing. ”
Feng Xi was silent, let go of Huo Shu's arm, began to look him up and down, and then asked very uncertainly, "You have Xiong Ji's family?"
"Well, Suiming clan, my father has Xiongji. Huoshu scratched her head, thinking that she had just said this, why did she still ask.
After Feng Xi heard this, he circled around the somewhat stout man twice, and kept muttering: "It's actually you, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." ”
The fire tree just stood stupidly, not understanding what was wrong with her. Finally, after Feng Xi stood still, Huo Shu asked, "What didn't you expect?"
A red cloud flew over Feng Xi's face, and after a while, he clutched his stomach and laughed. Huoshu looked at Feng Xi, who was bent over with a smile, at a loss, and his face was confused.
After a long time, Feng Xi stopped laughing, looked at the fire tree beautifully, and asked, "It was said that you were very thin when you were a child, why are you so strong now?"
"In the past few years, I have been honing outside, and I have naturally become stronger. ”
"Can you show me those bears you raised?" Feng Xi asked with interest.
"Of course you can, when the Hui have time to take you there. ”
"Okay, you have to remember. By the way, it's not too early today, are you still here?" Feng Xi looked up at the somewhat dark sky and asked uncertainly.
"This is the sixth settlement I've seen, each one is the same, there should be an area in this forbidden area that I haven't been to, I'm going to go see it first. Huoshu frowned and thought for a while before replying, then glanced at Feng Xi, who was a little excited, and immediately became worried, and quickly added: "But there should be a high plateau there, you can't go up." ”
The excitement in Feng Xi's eyes dimmed instantly, and he sighed a little helplessly, and after thinking about it, he spoke: "Since I can't go, then you can send me to the valley in the west, some people in my family should hunt over there." ”
Huoshu happily agreed, turned around and went into the house and dragged the black bear out, then turned over and rode up, and beckoned Fengxi to come up. When Feng Xi saw the black bear, her legs were a little weak, and when she saw the fire tree sitting on the bear's back and waving to her, she mustered up the courage to walk over. The fire tree reached out and pulled her onto the bear's back, then reached out and patted the bear on the head.
Although the black bear has no experience in being tamed, it has such a terrifying existence on its back, and for its own safety, it does not dare to move, until the fire tree pats it three times and understands that it is to let it stand up. In this way, the black bear slowly understood the meaning of the fire tree, and began to adapt to his command, from trotting to striding forward, galloping towards the west at full speed.
When a few hunters with stone spears in their hands saw the black bear running at full speed, their faces were black, what was the situation, and they said that they were driving the roe deer into the trap, how to lure out a bear, or a huge bear.
When someone sees a person sitting on the bear's back, their expression is even more exciting, what is the situation? Several people just held their spears and looked at the bear, not saying a word, motionless. When the black bear stopped in front of him, several people reacted, threw away the stone spear at the same time, and fell to the ground with a pop, and the praise in their mouths sounded one after another. In their opinion, if it weren't for the manifestation of their ancestors, how could there be such a big bear and let people ride it?
When a crisp voice sounded on the bear's back, several people realized that the person who spoke was actually the daughter of the patriarch.
Feng Xi was a little excited, a little tired, and a little nostalgic when he looked at the distant fire tree. Then he looked back and thought about it, and said to a few of his clansmen, "Go back, I've decided." ”
Several clansmen replied blankly, completely unaware of what was going on.
......
The fire tree rode the black bear to the seventh settlement, and his mind was no longer about the bear, but about the beautiful face. Thinking of parting ways with Feng Xilin, she secretly kissed her cheek, and the fire tree giggled as she walked, occasionally turning her head on the bear's back. The black bear was more depressed, and kept praying in his heart that this terrible existence would disappear as soon as possible, and he would not eat meat in the future.
The seventh settlement, like the previous one, was completely empty, but the fire tree at this time had long since stopped caring about these things. Just like that, he rode the black bear back into the woods, and when he passed by the stone wall, he simply jumped down with the black bear.
Coming to the side of the two clouds of mist, the fire tree was still giggling.
The black bear walked around the forest, saw a lot of cubs, and then looked at the towering stone wall, thinking about the terrible scene that had just fallen, and his heart was cold, knowing that he might not be able to get out again, and couldn't help but wail. Before the howl was finished, he found the bright fluorescence and blazing fireballs emitted by the two clouds of mist, and the black bear immediately understood that if he wanted to live, he had to shut up.
