Time seemed to stand still all at once.

An Yuanxi and I froze all over our bodies, and instantly entered a state of alert like the wolf, maintaining a posture and not daring to move, I tried my best to look at the gray wolf calmly, and quickly searched for appropriate countermeasures in my mind.

This should be a lone wolf, I don't know why I was alone, I didn't stay with the wolves, I couldn't help but feel a little glad to be aware of this. This wolf must be very old, I looked at the wolf's dry and tangled fur, some cloudy eyes, maybe this is why it left the pack.

An Yuanxi and I didn't dare to move, for fear that if we moved, the wolf would be fierce. A lone wolf dared to approach the crowd burning on the fire, unless it was faint from hunger, and I looked at the fierce look in the wolf's eyes, and knew that it was useless to show goodwill, not to mention that we had nothing to feed it.

The wolf suddenly took a step forward, I felt a chill on my back, nervous, An Yuanxi tried to reach out, wanted to draw a thick wooden stick from the fire, but he just stretched out his hand, the wolf showed a fierce light, bared its teeth, the exposed sharp teeth flashed in the firelight with an eerie white light, saliva flowed down the corners of its grinning mouth, its body was old, but its teeth were not old, and the sharp teeth seemed to be able to tear the prey apart at any time.

The tense atmosphere seemed to be on the verge of erupting. An Yuanxi and I didn't dare to act rashly, my whole body tensed, I calmed down, tried to stay calm in the face of this old wolf, did not let myself appear flustered, and looked at this vicious wolf that would pounce on us at any time without blinking, if we couldn't fight hard, we would only wait for death.

The wolf finally couldn't stand the stalemate of confrontation, screamed violently, rushed over with bloodthirsty rage, and jumped up and pounced on us, the dust rising from his feet seemed to cause the ground to tremble slightly.

An Yuanxi pushed me away, took out a thick wooden stick with flames from the fire, and swung it at the vicious wolf that pounced, and accurately knocked the wolf to the ground, it immediately turned over and stood up, bared its teeth and howled, and quickly pounced on An Yuanxi. The nerd was knocked to the ground by the old wolf, and the stick in his hand fell out, and seeing that the wolf's fangs were about to reach his neck, he hurriedly reached out and stuck the old wolf's neck, and struggled to prop its head away. I was taken aback, picked up the thick wooden stick that An Yuanxi threw out, and wanted to help, but one person and one wolf were rolling and struggling on the ground, and I was afraid that An Yuanxi would be hit by mistake, so I couldn't do it at all. At this moment, the wolf turned over to An Yuanxi again, I was anxious and afraid, seeing the broken blanket scattered on the ground, my eyes lit up, and I grabbed it in a hurry, and immediately went to the wolf's hood, quickly covered it, and tightened the blanket. An Yuanxi let go, picked up the wooden stick, and desperately hit the blanket, the wolf covered the blanket and struggled, An Yuanxi was afraid that it would break the broken blanket, and the hand was heavy and ruthless, and I don't know how many times he hit, the wolf blood gradually leached out of the blanket, and the wolf in the blanket gradually stopped moving, I don't know if the wolf is dead, we dare not let go of the blanket, for fear that as soon as it is released, the wolf will jump up again.

At this moment, there was a low and angry animal gasp behind me, I turned my head sharply, and a black shadow pounced on me, instantly throwing me to the ground, and there was a tearing pain in my back, I turned my head to see a huge wolf head pressed against my shoulder. There was even a wolf? When I had finished screaming, I saw the wolf baring its fangs, and opened its mouth to bite my neck. An Yuanxi roared angrily, and I didn't know where it came from, and hit the wolf's head with a wooden stick with Mars, the wolf howled, and fell to the ground, and the sparks on the wooden stick scattered, falling to my neck, and I shivered for a while, I wanted to get up, but I couldn't use my strength at all, the wolf rolled around on the ground, climbed up, and pounced on An Yuanxi, and pressed him to his body in an instant, and opened his mouth to bite his neck. I lay on the ground, and when I saw An Yuanxi about to die in the wolf's mouth, I screamed in horror: "An Yuanxi......"

"Whoosh!" There was a strong sound of breaking the air in the air, and with a dull sound, the evil wolf who was just about to bite An Yuanxi's neck viciously suddenly fell to the ground, convulsed a few times, stretched his legs, and lost his breath in an instant. I thought it was a hallucination caused by my fever, and I barely opened my eyes and saw that there was a crossbow arrow tied to the wolf's neck, and the arrow was deeply inserted into the wolf's neck, and there was almost no blood in the wound, which showed how tightly the arrow was inserted.

A man dressed in the costume of a herdsman of the Dawn Moon Country walked over, with his back to the firelight, I couldn't see his face clearly, he was holding a crossbow in his hand, and it seemed that he had sent the crossbow arrow that was fired at the wolf. It wasn't a hallucination, I breathed a sigh of relief, my nerves relaxed, the pain of the fire burning on my back immediately became intense, my consciousness gradually collapsed, and I fell into darkness.

When I woke up again, I found myself covered with a thick quilt, lying on a warm kang with a pot of red firewood burning in the room. I looked around, this should be the house of the herdsmen of the Yaoyue Country, how could I be here? I wanted to turn over and get up, and there was a spicy pain on my back, so heavy that it seemed to carry dozens of pounds of stones, I fell back to the kang, only to find that my upper body was not an inch, I was taken aback, and the pain on my back reminded me to recall the scene before I fell unconscious, I was scratched on the back by another wolf, and the wolf was shot by a man from Yaoyue Country with a crossbow. Could this be the man's home? What about An Yuanxi? Where is he?

At this moment, someone pushed open the door and walked in, I turned my head with great effort, and saw that it was an old woman from Yaoyue Kingdom, holding a small bowl, and when I opened my eyes to look at her, the old woman said happily: "Nataro, are you awake?" ”

Nataro? Do you mean me? She walked over, put the bowl in her hand on the small table in front of the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, I looked at her silently, and saw that she had a kind expression, it should be an ordinary mother-in-law of Yaoyue Kingdom, I said softly: "Are you ......?" ”

"It was my son who brought you back, saying that you met a wolf, Nataro was scratched on the back by a wolf, and he has been in a fever and has been in a coma for two or three days, it is really not easy to survive." The old woman said with a smile.

In a coma for two or three days? So long? "Thank you." I'm grateful, so it's the Yaoyue Country herdsman who brought me back? However, where is An Yuanxi? I looked at the door and asked, "Mother-in-law, where are the people with me?" ”

"He and my son went outside looking for wolf poison weeds." The old woman said, "The scratch on your back, if you don't use wolf poison herbs, the festering area will not form a scar, and it will not be easy to heal." However, this herb is not easy to find, they haven't found much in the past few days, only enough for decoction, not enough for medicine. ”

No wonder my back hurts so much, it can't be a bacterial infection, right? Just thinking about it, there was some noise outside the door, the old woman stood up and walked out, after a while, the door was pushed open, and several people walked in, and it was An Yuanxi who was the first, followed by the old woman and a strange man dressed as a herdsman. An Yuanxi hurriedly rushed to the side of my bed, squatted down, his expression was ecstatic, but his voice was unusually soft: "You are awake." ”

I lay on the bed and looked at him, and saw that he was wearing a set of clothes from the herdsmen of Yaoyue Country, which should have been borrowed from this family. The puffiness on his face had faded, and he had regained his handsome appearance, but his face had thinned a little, and the stubble had sparsely popped out, and he looked haggard and tired. I smiled and laughed at myself: "My life is hard, I can't die." ”

He soothed his expression, and there seemed to be a smile on his face, only to hear the herdsman say: "It's good to wake up, Nataro burned so badly before, Ah Niu Pu Ba is worried." ”

Ah Niu Pupa? What is this? I looked up at him and saw that the herdsman was tall and strong, with a swarthy face and a sincere smile. An Yuanxi introduced next to me: "This eldest brother Erlun is the engong who saved us that night, and this Aunt Yixia is the mother of eldest brother Erlun. ”

"What kind of man, I've been tracking these two old wolves, but I just happened to meet you." Erlun interrupted An Yuanxi's words, waved his hand and smiled, "Nataro and Puba are very brave, you two are so thin and weak, you actually killed that male wolf, we grassland people admire brave people the most." ”

"Alright, let's go out first, Nataro just woke up, Niu Pupa must have a lot to say." Aunt Yixia interrupted Erlun's words with a smile, turned her head to An Yuanxi and said, "Ah Niu Puba, the bowl of medicine at the bedside was just fried by me, you remember to feed it to Natalo." ”

The two walked out, and I asked curiously, "What do Nataro and Niupuba mean?" ”

"Brother Erlun said that the people of Yaoyue Kingdom call the girl 'Nataro' and call the brother 'Puba'." An Yuanxi picked up the bowl on the low table, scooped a spoonful of the black soup in the bowl and handed it to my lips: "Drink the medicine!" ”

A strong smell of medicine came to my nose, and I frowned: "What medicine?" ”

"Heal the wound on your back." He whispered, and the spoon was put into my mouth, and I drank it with a frown, and said, "It's so bitter!" ”

"Good medicine is bitter." The sad expression on my face made him smile slightly, and I asked, "What does Ah Niu mean?" "Could it be like that sacred cow Attila, also a title?

An Yuanxi's face was suddenly a little embarrassed, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid of causing trouble for them, so I told them that my name is Ah Niu." ”

"Huh?" I widened my eyes in surprise, looked at An Yuanxi's embarrassed expression, and couldn't help but laugh: "God, if you want to change your name, it will also be more pleasant, so earthy." ”

An Yuanxi said angrily: "Is it so funny? ”

Of course it's funny, the more I think about it, the more I can't stop laughing, my body twitches, and the pain in my back suddenly hits, I gasped lightly, An Yuanxi said nervously: "Don't laugh, be careful of the wound cracking." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Then what do you tell them my name?" It can't be Ah Hua, right? ”

He didn't speak, his expression was strange, and he scooped another spoonful of medicine and handed it to my lips: "Drink the medicine." ”

Seeing his expression, I raised my eyebrows, and felt bad in my heart: "Is it really Ah Hua?" Oh, my God! ”

"You were originally Ah Hua." He couldn't say a word to me, and there was a smile in his eyes. This nerd, my brain is turning backwards at this moment, and I said in frustration: "Yes, yes, my name is very earthy, okay." ”

"I didn't say that." He had a look on his face that you said himself, and brought the medicine over. That's it, don't dwell on these two names, I can't please them at all. I looked at the medicine and said, "You went out to find this medicine?" ”

"Hmm." He put the medicine in my mouth, I frowned and swallowed, "Let me drink it in one gulp, drinking it spoonful by spoonful like this is more bitter." "I'm the most afraid of drinking medicine, if it's at home in front of Xiaohong, it's definitely Salai who won't drink it, but the current situation can't help me make Xiao Xiao'er, not to mention that these medicines are hard to find, just say that we are still trapped in Yaoyue Kingdom, and safety is not guaranteed, if we don't heal our injuries and leave this place of right and wrong, we have to continue to live this trembling and frightened escape life."

"How do you drink on your stomach?" An Yuanxi shook his head, reached out and wiped the medicine stains on my lips, my lying posture was inconvenient, and I couldn't drip some soup when I drank the medicine, An Yuanxi's hand naturally wiped the corners of my lips, and I didn't feel that there was something wrong with my movements at all. I don't have the notion that men and women don't kiss, but at least in the pedantic notion of nerds, that's inappropriate. My heart moved, and I remembered that these days, this nerd had unconsciously retreated a lot of stupidity, and it seemed that the environment can transform people, and it was really not wrong at all.

When he saw me staring at him in a daze, he was surprised, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's fine." I smiled. An Yuanxi is actually a good person, just by virtue of his performance in the shop, he should have been able to offset his heinous hatred for me, not to mention this disaster, he still will not leave me. I am a selfish woman who has been poisoned by the material society of the 21st century, others are very good to me, I will only be good to others, and if others are not good to me, I will be very bad to others. That's it, Ye Haihua, don't tease him again in the future.
