Chapter 33 I won't let you starve to death

On this sunny day, Su Wu boiled the tiger bones into soup, improved the life of the sheep, and drove the four sheep who were skinny and had no strength to rush to the side of the pen to clean up

Clean the sheepfold and throw in any hay left.

He saw the sheep munching on them, and said to them, "You unfortunate creatures, you are pitiful enough to follow me." As long as the weather is clear and it doesn't snow, I won't let you starve to death!"

Although the sun rises as usual here, it is still cold, icy and snowy. Su Wu got up early in the morning, ate a big bowl of tiger meat and soup, warmed his whole body, put on his homemade warm coat, and set off to find something to eat.

With a rope on his shoulder, his skateboard, and a cane of his own making, he crossed the sparse birch road in front of him, heading for the pine and cypress forests in the mountains in the distance.

By the time he arrived at his destination, it was already noon. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the climate is relatively warm. The snow on the pine and cypress trees was swept away by the wind, and the leaves were dark green, and the snow in the woods was not thick.

Ever since he discovered this place, whenever the weather is clear, he has come here and threshed pine and cypress seeds. Now, after many snowstorms, the seeds have fallen on the ground and are nowhere to be found in the thick hay.

He had just taken off his skateboard when suddenly, he heard a bird's call, followed the sound and quietly looked for it, and saw a gray bird with wings more than four feet long, carrying a snow-white thing in its mouth, flying up to the branch of the tree in front of him, which was not too high.

Su Wu stood still and threw his cane towards it with all his might. It dropped something and flew away, and the white thing fell to the ground and fluttered its wings as if it were injured. He pounced on it and grabbed it. It turned out to be a bird with white feathers. The bird's body was hot, and its white feathers were thick, so it was no wonder that it could survive in this alpine land.

He twisted its neck under its wings and tucked it into a leather bag, looking for the big bird. The fact that they can live here proves that there must be something to eat here. He crept into the woods, looking around with his head tilted and his eyes staring......

He subconsciously noticed that on a bush, there were two small yellow eyes staring at him. He wiped his eyes and looked at it seriously, and it turned out that it was a face as round as a cat's face, and a big gray bird was looking at him.

Isn't this what people often call an owl, also called an owl? But the owl I saw was black-colored, and its wings were not as big as this bird, and it came out at night to move and pounce, and if it flew away in a panic when it saw people, how could this thing not be afraid of people?

No, the owl's eyes are green, bigger than this thing's eyes. He looked at the tree on which it stood, a short-leaved pine tree with a large crown and a thick body, and it stood on a branch more than a foot above the ground, without any nervousness.

He waved his cane to let it go, but it moved its wings and tilted its head in anger.

Su Wu shouted loudly: "Hey-" still won't leave. I must seize it, something so big that it can at least solve the problem of food and clothing for a few days.

He pulled down his gloves, tucked up his wolfskin robe and tightened it at his belt, and covered his eyes with a sheepskin hat, and crept up the tree...... When it saw him coming, it pricked its wings in anger and struck at him with its hard mouth, but it only knocked off his hat.

When he climbed the branch, it flew up and landed on the branch next to it, looking hesitantly at this side, and roaring ......in despair. Su Wu climbed up the branch and found that there was a large tree hole covering branches and feathers between the thick and small branches.

He gently uncovered the contents of the top, and in the nest covered with hay and some feathers, there were two large white eggs. His eyes lit up, it was a good thing, but it was a good meal.

At home in Chang'an, he was tired of eating eggs, and he hated them when he saw them! But in the five months since he came here, even food is a rare thing, let alone eggs! He looked at them greedily and caressed them with his hands......

The bird on the other side saw his actions and flapped its wings and flew over. Su Wu dealt with it with a branch, and it flew back to the branch next to it, looking at it distressedly and refusing to give up. He read in its eyes love, helplessness, and pity.

He felt as if he was a robber snatching the child of a powerless mother...... This reminded him of the scene when he and his father were in Daigun, and they patrolled the border with their father.

On that day, they met several horsemen who robbed Han Chinese children...... The scene of a mother being killed crying and desperately trying to protect her child...... Although the Lianghu people were annihilated at that time, the mother's desperate efforts to protect the child made him unforgettable for the rest of his life.

Su Wu looked at the anxious and helpless appearance of the gray-white bird, lifted the egg, let it look at it and gently put it in the nest, covered it, and slipped down the tree to hide and sit not far away

place to look at it.

When it saw that he had gone down from the tree, it flew back quickly, opened the lid with its mouth, and the two children were still there, and flew back and forth in the woods around the house for two times, patrolling and flying into the depths of the woods without danger.

He followed it towards the forest, and it became more and more difficult to walk, and there were leafless dry vines everywhere under his feet, and it was difficult for him to move forward. He stood still and looked around carefully, and found that not far away, under the root of the mountain, there was a towering deciduous tree in the sun.

This tree is two or three thick for adults, and the surrounding trees are sparsely pulled, this is the thickest and largest tree I have ever seen in my life.

With his gloved hands, he tore off the dry vines on the road, and came to the tree: it seemed that there had been a fight between animals, and the dry vines on the ground had been crushed flat, and there were many frozen blood stains on them......

His heart suddenly rose to his throat and he wanted to retreat, but his ankle was grasped by a black-haired claw sticking out of the haystack beside him. He was frightened and hopeless, so he had to tremble and admonish himself: Don't be afraid, don't be afraid......

Trembling, he leaned over and reached out to pick up the hay, which turned out to be a wounded bear, lying dying. He reached out and pulled it, and suddenly heard a scream.

He got up and looked around, looking for ...... There was a wolf lying in the grass not far away! Oh my god, my life is at stake! He closed his eyes and waited for death. For a long time, but there was no movement.

He looked blindfolded at his feet, and at the wolves over there, all of whom looked pitifully at him, asking for help. It seems that after a vicious fight, they were not lightly injured.

Who can I help? They're all cannibals! I can't save anyone! He wanted to leave, his ankle was pulled by the bear's claw, and he pulled out his bright machete from his body and slashed at the bear's claw.

When he lowered his head and lowered the knife, he saw the bear in tears, clearly begging him to save his life. Can this man-eating beast be saved? But don't you save it and eat me......
