Chapter 57: The Wounded Wolf

After these two days, Lou Hongyue and Dai Yahe didn't know why, but they reconciled, and they talked and laughed every night. Qingxue didn't understand what Lou Hongyue was planning, and she didn't want to understand, so let her go.

When I first set off, the road was smooth, the speed of travel was fast, and everyone could talk and laugh, which was quite easy. The further back you go, the narrower the road becomes, and the horses begin to struggle to walk, so they need to be carefully controlled.

After Shen Yuan took the medicine given by Qingxue, he really felt a lot more energetic, and he could talk and laugh with Shen Kuo along the way.

After riding a horse for four and a half days, I came to the foot of the Husband and Wife Ridge. Horses and carriages were unable to move an inch, and everyone camped in place, distributing their luggage and dry food, and preparing to hike into the mountains tomorrow.

Two of the family members were left to guard the carriage and horses, and the rest of the people all set off towards the one on the left. Yue Han followed behind Yi Jian reluctantly, not wanting to be left behind, Yi Jian helplessly whispered a few words in its ear, Yue Han stopped, just kept looking at the direction where Yi Jian left.

The mountain was quite gentle at first, and it was not so difficult to walk, Qingxue still walked behind, and Leng Lone Star rarely joined her, most of the time silently behind her, not far or close.

Sometimes, Leng Lone Star will be confused, and the white back is like a light in his heart, giving him a goal to pursue. Occasionally, just occasionally, Leng Lone Star will have an illusion because of a certain sentence or an inadvertent moment in Qingxue, and see another self, people and things in another world.

Therefore, he likes to follow her, wanting to get an answer from her, to know who he really is.

Occasionally, someone would take a few steps behind and say a few words to Qingxue, and at this time, Dai Yahe could also appear, and then with an innocent and lovely appearance, his brother and sister shouted, and then pulled people away, and then threw Qingxue a provocative look.

Invisibly isolated, Qingxue doesn't care, but it's clean.

In the evening, a platform was found as a resting place, and several family members found some dry firewood and built a large bonfire. On the one hand, it is for heating at night, and on the other hand, there are wolves here at night, which can be regarded as a precaution. Six members of the household, each of whom kept vigil for an hour, and the rest of the men found a place to rest.

In the middle of the night, there was ---a wolf howl in the distance, and it was not surprising that the mountains were not high and the jungle was dense, so it was not surprising that wild beasts were infested. Everyone was awakened by the howl of the wolf, each holding a weapon, only to see a pair of green eyes like fireflies on the far hillside, looking at this side from afar.

The wolf is a very intelligent animal, seeing that there are many people here, and each holding a weapon in his hand, with a murderous face, the wolf pack did not step forward, but just watched this side from a distance, waiting for the opportunity.

Everyone was on guard, fearing that if they slackened a little, they would be attacked by the wolves, until the dawn was about to break, and the wolves really did not find a chance, so they gradually dispersed.

People who practice martial arts, even if they sleep for a day and a half less, are nothing, but they have been nervous last night, careful and vigilant, mentally tired, and rested for an hour before they dressed up and continued to walk up the mountain.

After walking for another hour, walking in the last clear snow, I suddenly found a whimper in the grass in the distance, and the sound was sad and desolate.

Following the sound, Qingxue clenched the dagger hidden in her sleeve and guarded to remove the messy grass, which was still stained with blood.

There was an animal that resembled a large dog lying in the grass, but Qingxue knew that it was not a dog, but a wolf. Although she had not seen a wolf up close, its gray fur, dark green eyes, and the wary and fierce look in its eyes when it looked at her, her intuition told her that it was a wolf.

It's just that it's a badly wounded wolf, and its body, especially its hind legs, has obvious signs of being bitten by wild beasts, and the blood stains the surrounding land red. After carefully observing the surroundings, there were no other traces of wolves, Qingxue cautiously approached it, the wolf's eyes became more and more vigilant, seeing that Qingxue was approaching, he struggled to get up, but the serious injury on his leg made it fall down heavily, and a painful whimper sounded from his mouth.

"Why are you just on your own, have you been abandoned by your companions? How could he be so badly injured? Don't move, you don't pose any threat to me now, if you don't move, I'll treat you" While talking softly to the wounded wolf, he took out medicine, cotton cloth and water bag, first used a dagger to remove the impurities and carrion from the wound, and then skillfully cleaned the wound, applied medicine, and bandaged it with gauze.

It has multiple scars on its body, which are obviously torn by wild beasts, and it seems that it must be a lone wolf, maybe it encountered some powerful enemy while hunting, so it was like this. However, it is also very tenacious, and it can survive until now after being so badly injured.

He treated its wounds one by one, took out some dry food from his baggage, broke it and put it to his mouth, "Oh, I only have this on me, you can eat some." I know that in addition to your injuries and rapid loss of physical strength, there is another reason why you are so weak now, that is, you are very hungry, right? ”

The wolf didn't seem to accept her food, so Qingxue had to forcibly break its mouth and stuff it in, and the wolf had to swallow it. "That's right, I can't starve to death with so much medicine, you know?"

At that time, Qingxue only thought about letting it eat, and she didn't think that she was breaking open the fangs of a carnivore, if it took advantage of the situation to bite herself・・・・・・ afterwards, whenever she thought of this, Qingxue couldn't help but be a little afraid.

After eating three steamed buns in a row, the wolf stopped, and his eyes looking at Qingxue were not so fierce. Qingxue left more than half of her dry food for it, and only a few of her own, packed up her things, and finally patted it on the head, "Okay, I'm leaving, don't stare at me like that, these are left for you to eat, you are so seriously injured, don't go hunting, let's make do with this first"

Qingxue hurried back to the original road, delayed for a while, and didn't know how far they had gone. Qingxue thought that she was a very indifferent person, but when she saw the wolf just now, even if she was injured and abandoned, she still looked at her with such arrogant and wild eyes. At that time, I didn't even think about it, so I chose to save it.

After walking a few steps, I found that there was a person who had been standing not far away, looking at the direction of the wolf just now, and Qingxue remembered that although he had been at the back of the team, Leng Lone Star had also been walking behind him, and when he saw him leave the team, he would definitely follow.

When they caught up with the group, they had not gone far, and were resting while waiting for the two of them. Murong Ke asked how they had fallen behind, and Qingxue only smiled and said that she had found a lone wolf. Murong Ke saw that they were not injured, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Shen Yuan has been taking the medicine given by Qingxue for the past two days, although he has climbed the mountain road for so long, he is not as embarrassed as he was on the first day, and his spirit is very good.

Qingxue smiled and told him that it was just an injured lone wolf, nothing threatening, so he didn't have to worry. Shen Yuan saw that Qingxue really didn't look like she was injured, and happily asked what a lone wolf was, and how could she be injured.

Xiao Hongchen also came over, "Wolves all live in packs, you see, every time they appear, they are in packs, and there is rarely one, isn't it?" Seeing Shen Yuan nodding, Xiao Hongchen continued, "But sometimes, there will also be wolves that are abandoned by wolves, and that kind is called a lone wolf, or a lone wolf."

"Why are they abandoned, aren't they companions?" Shen Yuan asked puzzled.

"There are many reasons for this, for example, it is separated from the original wolf pack, and there is a wolf in the wolf pack, and if the fight fails, it will also be expelled from the wolf pack."

"Oh, that's the case, then it's really pitiful, abandoned by his companions, injured again, Sister Mo ・・・・・・" Shen Yuan frowned and looked at Qingxue, although he didn't say the words later, Qingxue also understood that he was soft-hearted again.

"Don't worry, I've drugged it, it's fine" I couldn't bear to look at him like this, Qingxue comforted softly.

"Ah" Shen Yuan looked at Qingxue in surprise, "I know, Sister Mo is the best"

Dai Yahe, who was walking far away, heard this, glanced at them coldly, snorted coldly, but didn't say anything. It seems that Xiang Tianhao may have told her, and she has converged a lot in the past few days.

Since she didn't come to cause trouble, Qingxue naturally wouldn't provoke her, although there was no shortage of secret competition along the way, Qingxue didn't see it at all.

Dai Yahe walked to the side of Leng Lone Star, although he has always been with that Mo Qingxue, but he has never had a conflict with her, even when she had a conflict with Mo Qingxue, he has never seen him come out to help her, it seems that his relationship with that Mo Qingxue is not too good, maybe there are other reasons why he has been on the same road with her.

"Brother Leng, why have you been behind all the time" Seeing that Leng Lone Star still didn't speak, and didn't even look at her, Dai Yahe thought to himself, one day, I will make you obey me. With a sweet smile on his face, "Brother Leng, everyone is ready to go, let's go too" said that he was about to reach out to pull Lone Star.

"Hey, you poisonous girl is too eyeless, Brother Leng doesn't want to pay attention to you, you are still in a hurry, you are not ashamed" Shen Yuan saw Dai Yahe step forward to pull Leng Lone Star, and shouted when he couldn't look at it.

Everyone who was originally rectifying looked at this side when they heard the sound, Dai Yahe's face was flushed with shame, he glanced at Shen Yuan hatefully, and walked back to Xiang Tianhao with his sleeves, causing Shen Yuan to laugh proudly.

When we start again, the mountain begins to steepen, and the trail is even narrower and full of rocks. When it was nearly evening, they had been walking for two days, and when they looked up, they saw that the mountain peaks were towering into the clouds, and their road was not even half of it, and at most it was less than a third of the way.

The road behind will be more and more difficult to walk, and I don't even know if there is a road behind, it seems that the ropes I brought are still useful, maybe I will use them later. I don't know how far it is, I gave so much rations to the wolf, and I don't know if it's enough, it seems that I have to save food these days, Qingxue sat in the corner on the side, silently.

The mountains here are starting to be steep, there should be no wolves, but I don't know if there are any other wild beasts, or leave a few family members to keep vigil, the rest of the people started to rest early, yesterday did not rest much, today is night I don't know what will happen, now it is better to rest early.

Qingxue didn't know how long she had been sleeping, she felt something close to her, and after two days of fatigue, she was sleeping soundly, and her eyelids couldn't open heavily, only feeling that there was a warm fur rubbing on her hands, and she lay down beside her.
