Chapter 54: The Wolf of the Jungle
Ji An is sitting at the top of the cliff of Da'an Chengling with Luo Lin and Yalang, overlooking the mountain forest bathed in a round of red sun. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Even with the sunset, it can't poetize the image of the three of them sitting side by side - the hemp rope on Rollin's body is so unsightly that Aaron ties her into a river crab to be boiled.
Aaron's so-called "leave it to the wolves of the jungle" comes from a wolf legend.
Legend has it that about twenty years ago, the first civil war between the wolf clan and the dragon clan broke out, and the wolf clan was defeated one after another. The patriarch ordered his men to tie themselves up as a living sacrifice and lie down on the cliffs, and even cut their flesh and sprinkled blood to lure the wolves.
The patriarch made an oath with his own blood that he would trade his life for the victory of his people.
Finally, the wolf came, but bit the rope for the patriarch.
The patriarch did not die, but his wish came true, and the wolf clan, which had been defeated in a row, turned defeat into victory.
Therefore, the wolf people have always believed that they can trade with the wolf of the jungle with their own blood, and if the wolf god does not kill the person who made the wish, the contract will be established.
On the contrary, like Rollin's younger brother, there is no place to bury him.
Aaron was holding the knife and wanted to cut Luo Lin's arm, but Ji An quickly stopped it, grabbed the knife and slashed deeply into his palm, scattering the blood into the open space beside Luo Lin.
"This is my wish, and it will be done with my blood." Ji An said lightly, and then cooperated with Aaron to be bound indifferently.
"If you and this guy can still see the sunset in two days, forgive you two traitors as a jungle wolf. I will tell everyone that you were attacked by wolves and died while escorting the living sacrifice; I'll take your brother out to you, too. However, if ......" Aaron pursed his lips halfway through speaking, he could not bear to continue.
"It's good to do it yourself." Aaron tied the last dead knot on Ji'an's body and left without looking back.
Aaron didn't dare to turn back, he was afraid that he would relent.
But he couldn't be soft-hearted—he couldn't forgive two wolf sinners in the place of their gods.
As Aaron walked in the crimson sunset, he heard the eagles circling back and forth, singing short, long distances, the sound of which made the mountain seem more solemn.
The sweet blood can not only attract wolves, but also eagles that eat carrion. Two days later, at this very moment, are they still alive?
Aaron could only pretend to be deaf to all sounds, jumped on his horse, and rode towards the village where he and Assyria had grown up.
Where they grew up together, there lived the elder brother who was very good at making glass leaf cakes, and if the wolf god was willing to forgive Assyria for all his sins, Aaron was willing to bring Assyria's favorite brother back to him.
When the silent night turned to dawn, and the canopy seemed to have just fallen asleep and awoke, Aaron rode out on his horse again, this time with the sound of the horses' hooves even more chaotic, for there was one more man and one rider besides Aaron.
When Aaron and Assyria's brother walked up the cliff, they saw only one strange scene: in the orange sunset, Assyria and Lorraine had already untied, they crossed their legs, a dead snake was roasted with a tree branch on a fire, and there was an eagle with a broken head next to it, but these were not enough to describe it as "strange", strange is strange...... There was also a white wolf beside Assyria.
The white wolf's hair seemed to glow softly orange in the sunset, and when you looked closely, it seemed to be shining gold.
Everyone says, wagging the tail of the dog, the tail of the wolf. But the white wolf circled around Assyria and wagged its tail, like the gatekeepers who asked for credit from their masters.
Aaron almost thought he had seen a dog that looked like a wolf, but as he drew closer, the white wolf suddenly pricked up its ears in surprise, and turned its head to stare at him with its long, narrow eyes.
The yellow agate-like pupils had an incredible penetrating power, and Aaron could see the warning in them, and then saw it turn the vigilance into calm.
Only a wolf can have such a pair of dangerous, thorny and mysterious eyes.
Aaron had a feeling that he had seen through the purpose of his trip, so he let his guard down.
Did he see the Jungle Wolf?
On the other side, although Assyria's elder brother was afraid of wolves, he still walked towards his younger brother with trembling steps, ignoring the people and things around him, and the brothers hugged each other tightly.
"That, let me introduce you, this is my daughter-in-law. Brother, let's call my brother-in-law. Ji An pointed at Luo Lin and deliberately teased.
Luo Lin's face turned red all of a sudden, and he was about to pestle Ji An's ass with a branch: "Who is your daughter-in-law?" ”
Ji An grinned and went to block it, and said, "You have no other choice, just follow casually." ”
After that, the two of them started fighting again.
In fact, both Ji An and Assyria understood that although Rollin had a hard mouth, she was ready to live with him from the moment she wanted to jump off the cliff and was stopped by Assyria.
Since Rollin can die for love, he can naturally live for love.
Although Assyria's brother did not see whether the "brother and daughter-in-law" was male or female, he still accompanied the giggle in confusion.
Aaron looked at the combination of a family of three and a white wolf in front of him, and suddenly realized that he was just an outsider, so he didn't say a word, just knelt down, and kowtowed to the white wolf with a reverent heart: just think it was really a jungle forest, and as if their wolf god forgave Assyria and forgave himself.
Aaron got up again and was about to leave, but Assyria stopped him: "I will always be here, if you want me, come to me." We will always be friends. ”
Aaron glanced at him, but without replying, he turned away.
Maybe one day, as Assyria said, he will come back here, but at least for this moment, he has no way to face this selfish self who has deceived his superiors and subordinates; Now, he still can't convince himself, he's right.
That night, Ji An lay flat and looked at the sky in the temporary wooden shed built by the three of them: the stars in the sky were dense and busy, they didn't make a sound, and it seemed that they only felt that the sky was lively.
It was the most quiet and beautiful night he felt since he came to 001.
Then he saw the little white wolf, which had grown a lot, turned into a small white ball covered in silver dew under the starlight, and hid mischievously in the rock crevice, it never liked to sleep in a place with too much space, and it seemed that only that rock crevice could give it a sense of security.
Do wolves grow up so quickly? And how did it find him and Rollin? These puzzles have not yet been solved, perhaps because he has been touched by the legends of the wolf people, and an unreliable thought has also emerged in his heart: Is this white wolf that always shines with a colorful glow really the "wolf of the jungle" in people's mouths?
But yes or no, it doesn't really matter.
General Marco once said that it is a world that is tamed or tamed. Now, Assyria lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, like a real wolf, out of the dead end of taming or being tamed—that is the most important thing for him.
Drowsiness hits, and Ji An knows that this mission is finally over......
