Chapter 39: The Hungry Wolf
Twenty or thirty horses galloped past, spiraling down the mountain road, down the valley, and the men on the horses were dressed in the same clothes as the people in the valley, all dressed in black or gray shorts.
Zhang Xing and the stone came out of the grass, Zhang Xing's face was pale, looked at the valley below, and said, "Stone, you can't stay here, we need to leave here immediately." ”
Although the stone is not as far as Zhang Xing thought, he just felt strange and surprised, but in the past few months, he has been getting along with Zhang Xing all the time, and the tacit understanding between the two is incomparable, Zhang Xing proposed, he absolutely believed. At the moment, he didn't ask the reason, nodded, and the two returned along the path together.
didn't go far, and the sound of cars and horses came again, and the two hurriedly hid again.
Thirty or forty cavalry hugged two carriages from the other side of the road, Xu was accompanied by a carriage, this group of men and horses was not very fast, and when they arrived not far from Zhang Xingshi and the two hiding, they stopped. The first few horses turned back, and one of them asked, "How is the second son?"
As soon as this person's voice fell, Zhang Xing and Shi looked at each other, and their faces were so frightened that there was no blood at all. Because of this voice, the two of them are no strangers, isn't it Meng Ye from the Lihu Mountain Courtyard?
Shi swallowed his saliva, and after quietly poking his head out to take a look, he quickly retracted his head and nodded lightly at Zhang Xing. The two of them didn't dare to make a sound.
Over there, Meng Ye was standing next to a carriage, and the people in the carriage lifted the curtain, and a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old poked his head out, looked anxious, and replied: "I just vomited again, Meng Ye, how long will it take to get to the camp?"
Meng Ye pointed ahead and said, "It's not far ahead." ”
The boy nodded, and instructed the coachman, "Then hurry up." ”
Meng Ye drove his horse forward, and the team then pulled out, disappearing into the quiet mountain road in a blink of an eye. Zhang Xing and Shi came out, no need to say anything, both of them knew that the group of people in the valley of the road was in the same group as this surnamed Meng, and they didn't dare to stay longer, so they hurriedly ran the way they came.
It was very dark, and on the way they encountered two more groups of men, both of whom were hurrying towards the valley, and the two dodged quickly, but no one found them. After dark, the two of them panicked and missed the cave where they had spent the night before, and arrived at a dense mountain forest, where the stones were hard to find, and it was impossible to build their own shed.
Stone suggested that he simply sleep in a tree for the night.
Fortunately, there are countless thick uncles in the mountains and forests, and the branches are enough to support the two of them. Zhang Xing pulled some hay and threw it among the trees, and the two were tired and hungry, and soon fell asleep against the branches.
Sleeping until midnight, Zhang Xing woke up from freezing. There was no moon in the night, the mountains and forests were dark, and the breath of the stones was around. She curled up closer to the stone, but still didn't feel warm. His eyes adjusted to the darkness, and he could see the sleeping stone next to him, and he was curled up, his face pressed against the hay, and he was obviously cold. Zhang Xing pulled some of the hay around him and covered him. The surrounding mountains and forests gradually had a hazy shadow, and the black shadows gradually melted into a cloud of darkness.
She was a little suffocated, and after enduring it for a while, she couldn't sleep. Sit up and look under the tree, it's pitch black below. She hesitated for a while, but finally untied her waist and climbed down the tree. She didn't dare to go in the distance, so she squatted down in the grass not far from the tree. After putting it out, my heart was relieved, and I saw two shiny things not far in front of me, and I was a little stunned for a while.
When the two bright spots slowly approached, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Wolf!
Unable to care about anything at the moment, she hurried up the tree with her waist bent. The wolf apparently spotted her, and leaped a few steps under the tree.
"Stone, stone, wake up, wake up!" Zhang Xing looked at the wolf circling around the tree, and hurriedly pushed the stone awake.
"Xing'er, what's wrong?" the stone asked, rubbing his eyes and sitting up.
Zhang Xing pointed under the tree and trembled and said, "Wolf!
The stone was startled, turned his head to look under the tree, suddenly gasped, and quickly untied his waist and looked down at the tree.
The wolf circled the tree a few times, and then looked up at the two men in the tree, their eyes shining green. Zhang Xing and Shi Shi held their breath and looked at the wolf below, Zhang Xing was already drenched in cold sweat, and comforted himself in his heart, don't be afraid, the wolf should not go up the tree.
The wolf came down to them under the tree, and then suddenly turned away.
Zhang Xing and Shi looked at each other.
Zhang Xing secretly had luck in her heart - this wolf won't just give up, right?
She didn't know that this thought was in her mind, but she saw that the wolf, who had thought she was leaving, had gone up a slightly higher slope, turned around, roared suddenly, shook its hooves, swooped down like lightning, and then jumped up and swooped down on the tree.
"Xing'er! be careful!" Seeing this, Shi shouted, grabbed Zhang Xing, and dragged her to jump off the tree, and the wolf leaped over the heads of the two.
The stone pulled Zhang Xing up, and the two of them held hands and leaned against the tree, and after watching the black wolf on the ground roll, they shook their hair and stood up.
"Xing'er, how are you?" Shi looked at the wolf and asked Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing glanced at her trembling legs and replied, "It's okay." "If you can stand up, you don't hurt your bones.
The wolf did not rush to pounce again, but only circled back and forth not far away, and the two green eyes did not leave them, apparently having taken the two of them as something in their womb.
Looking at the behemoth in front of him, Zhang Xing settled down, and couldn't help but glance at the top of his head - just now they were in a hurry to get the tree, and they didn't have time to take anything, the kitchen knife and the iron pestle were all in the burden on the tree, and now the two of them were unarmed. The stone obviously thought of this, and suddenly squatted down, grabbed a wooden stick on the ground with his eyes, held it in both hands, confronted the wolf, and said to Zhang Xing without looking back: "Xing'er, you go up to the tree and take the things down." ”
Zhang Xing glanced at him. The stone's eyes were solemn, and his face was full of a murderous look that did not match his age.
At this time, they couldn't hesitate, they couldn't get the things on the tree, and the two of them were definitely dead.
Zhang Xing let go of the stone's hand, slowly moved behind him, and saw the right time, and climbed up the tree with his hands and feet.
Before hugging the tree, Zhang Xing heard a sudden roar of the stone behind him, a sudden gust of wind, and then the sound of the wooden stick breaking. Zhang Xing's heart was scattered, and he hurriedly turned around, and the two black shadows under the tree were tangled into a clump, and a bloody breath rushed to his nose. She didn't know if the stone was injured, and she couldn't help the stone when she went down.
Zhang Xing took a look and continued to climb, she is now experienced in climbing the tree, and after a few clicks, she went to the branch, touched the kitchen knife and flint in the baggage, and slipped down the tree, picked up the broken stick in half, and lit it.
With light, you can see more clearly. The stone had been pounced on the ground, and the wolf's mouth was not far from his face. The stone was covered with blood, and he put his hands together on the wolf's mouth, but he didn't let it open, and although it was pressed down, his legs were wrapped around the wolf.
Seeing this, Zhang Xing also screamed, raised the torch in his hand, and scalded it at the green wolf's eyes.
The wolf was in pain, and his hair burned when it caught fire, and he cried out in pain, turned his head, and shook the stone away.
