Chapter Seventy-Eight: When You Have It, You Know How to Cherish It
The next day, Wu Zhizai was already able to sit up. Today, Ge Hu went out hunting, and there were only Lan Ruo and Ge Hu's wife, Ge Zhi, in the treehouse.
Ge Zhi was dressed in brown cloth, the same color as the trunks of the trees in the forest. A pair of light blue eyes were very kind, and he did not anger Wu Zhizai because he was about to move.
In the evening, when Ge Hu came back, Wu Zhizai said, "Brother Ge Hu, why don't we leave without moving?" I'm worried that this place will be discovered by the Dharma Protector Temple. This time, I don't know how many people they will send. ”
Ge Hu said: "It's already set off, but it's not a one-time departure, but a batch departure." The people of the Dharma Protector Temple have already started to search, and there are more than 200 people in our clan, and if we act together, it is very likely that we will be discovered. And you don't have to worry about the people in the Temple of the Protector, they won't find out here. Moreover, in the past few days, the support has not come so quickly. ”
That being said, Wu Zhizai was still scared in his heart. If this part of the people accidentally came across the Dharma Protector Temple on the way, they would definitely not survive.
Ge Hu knew the worry in Wu Zhizai's heart, and comforted: "Brother Xiaozai, don't worry, we wolf spirits have lived in the forest for generations, and we have rich experience in the forest, so we won't be so easy to discover." Don't you show such an expression anymore, are you only allowed to save me, not me?"
An Youming helped on the side, "That's it, that's it." I've already saved you, you're still your mother-in-law, aren't you bothered? Don't think so, it's the right way to recuperate your body quickly. ”
Wu Zhizai took a deep breath and spit it out again, with a smile on his face, indicating that he would not think like this in the future.
Lan Ruo took care of Wu Zhizai every day, and Wu Zhizai recovered very quickly. On the fifth day of recuperation in the tree house, Wu Zhizai already felt that he was fine.
Wu Zhizai found that the wolf spirit clan did not live in a big tree, but also lived in a cave in the mountain not far away. There are also some houses under the trees, but these are not used for people, but for storing things. Most of these things are weapon poisons, which are equivalent to an arsenal of weapons.
At this time, several sturdy men brought back a wild boar. The boar was huge, with long, curved fangs, like a giant beast.
Ge Hu walked up to Wu Zhizai, "Xiao Zai, come, I'll take you to the mountain over there to see our other camp." ”
Wu Zhizai's injuries were just right, and it was inconvenient to drive the Wind Spirit Method, so he had to climb onto Ge Hu's back. Ge Hu condensed the wind spirit method, walked against the wind, and landed on the opposite mountain.
The top of the hill is not as hot as the woods, and it is a bit drier and suitable for drying some things. There are herbs, there is food. Moreover, the hilltop is empty, and some people make daily necessities and tools here.
Wu Zhizai was surprised that the wolf spirit dared to live in one place. The activity is so obvious, doesn't anyone notice it?
"Brother Ge Hu, you live here, aren't you afraid that the hunters who go into the mountains to hunt will find you?"
Ge Hu shook his head, "I'm not afraid. The forest is remote and dangerous, and no one would go this deep. First, it is unnecessary, and secondly, it is dangerous. It doesn't have to be, because hunters hunt and only ordinary animals are needed. If you come to hunt in such a deep place, even if you do, you can't take it out, and other ferocious beasts will follow the smell of blood along the way. Moreover, when they come in, they may not be able to hunt prey.
"Danger, it's not just the poisonous insects and beasts of the forest," Katsugo pointed to himself, "and us. ”
Wu Zhizaiqi said: "If they know your position, aren't they in the hands of those people? Why did you become their scruples?"
Ge Hu smiled, "We wolf spirits live in the forest all year round, and they want to arrest us, unless the elite division of the imperial court is dispatched. Otherwise, in this forest, no one is our opponent. As I told you before, we can't kill people at will, so we don't take the initiative to harm others. Those people also know that we are dangerous and will not take the initiative to provoke us. In this way, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and we live in peace. ”
Wu Zhizai always thought that the wolf spirit was hidden in the forest and lived like a beast. Unexpectedly, they actually founded a village in the forest.
Indeed, forests are rich in species. There are natural barriers such as swamps, and various poisonous insects and poisonous weeds are the majority. The wolf spirit lives in the forest all year round and knows the forest well. It is indeed very difficult to win the wolf spirit in the forest.
Ge Hu took Wu Zhizai to visit all the way, a young man who was packing dried fish, saw Wu Zhizai, smiled and nodded, and then bowed his head and continued to work. As the saying goes, each other is born from the heart, Wu Zhizai found that the people here look very kind and kind. It's very comfortable to be with them.
Wu Zhizaiqi said: "Brother Ge Hu, why are the people here so cheerful?"
Ge Hu said: "This is a fine tradition passed down by our wolf spirit clan. This is because life in the forest is very difficult, and there are many poisonous insects and beasts. Sometimes if you're not careful, you die. In such an extreme environment, if you don't know how to understand each other, then fights will happen from time to time.
"Once upon a time, there was a patriarch who said that it is not easy for everyone to live in the forest, and if there is resentment in the heart, it will only make life more miserable. We are all a big family, and if we are more humble with each other, life will be much better. Happiness can be conveyed to others through laughter. In that difficult time, the great patriarch was constantly mediating internal strife. Gradually, people were influenced by the patriarch and would be humble to each other, and would not blame each other if it was not a serious problem. After a long time, the hearts of our wolf spirit clan have become much broader. ”
Wu Zhizai grew his mouth and was speechless. Who would have imagined that the notorious, cruel and easy-to-kill wolf spirits were such a kind group of people. It reminded him of another world where neighbors would live in harmony. Of course, there are some grumpy people among them. But for the most part, they will still get along amicably.
Wu Zhizai said: "When I lived in the imperial capital, the powerful would oppress the weak, and the sister-in-law would bully the concubine. They have no worries about food and clothing, but their hearts are full of calculation and anger. A kind of anger against loved ones, anger against enemies. I have met many people like this, who live in such a good environment, but they don't know how to cherish it. And you live in such a difficult environment, and you know that it is not easy to live, so you will live better and give your people more laughter instead of an angry face. Most people only know how to cherish after they lose, but you wolf spirit clan know how to cherish when you have it, which is rare. ”
Ge Hu was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Wu Zhizai would have such an understanding at such a young age.
The two walked forward, and in a clearing, there were five children of a few years old who had not yet awakened their spiritual power playing games, and they were holding a few pearls in their hands.
Ge Hu smiled, "When you were unconscious, Lan Ruo was always by your side to take care of you. Ordinary people wash their faces with tears, but Lan Ruo was 'washing his face' with pearls that day. I'm afraid that something will happen to you, crying endlessly, and it's useless to comfort you. There were many pearls by your bed that day, so I picked them up and played with them as toys for the children of your clan. ”
Wu Zhizai was moved in his heart, and some people were worried about themselves, and this feeling was very warm.
Those powerful people can't imagine that the tears of the Shark Spirit royal family, which they want to get, are regarded as precious mermaid pearls. Here, it's just a kid's toy.
The children not far away saw Wu Zhizai, a stranger, but they were not afraid at all. ran over to surround Wu Zhizai and looked at him curiously. A pair of pale blue eyes were clear and bright, as if the whole clear sky was in their eyes.
Wu Zhizai condensed the method of locking the spirit and surrounded the children. The five children floated slowly, and Wu Zhizai carefully controlled them to prevent them from turning upside down.
At first, the children were a little strange, but then they felt that they were very happy to be in it, and they all smiled happily, and kept swinging their arms and feet, as if they were swimming.
Not far away, their mother was calling them. The child had to return to his mother's side, and when one of the little girls was about to get to her mother, she turned around and smiled sweetly at Wu Zhizai.
Wu Zhizai asked, "Why aren't they afraid of me?"
Ge Hu said: "Because they believe in me. We wolf spirits will not betray our companions, since we are people who are known to our companions, then we are also our own companions. ”
Wu Zhizai thought for the first time that this was impossible, how could people not betray. Although Wu Zhizai has not been betrayed by others, he has never betrayed others. He remembered the female boss in Pucheng, who sold herself, which was equivalent to a betrayal. A small child can be put in danger for the sake of profit.
"Don't you believe it? This is normal, because we wolf spirits are fierce and cunning, cruel and easy to kill. ”
Wu Zhizai said: "I didn't mean that, but I think that people's hearts are sinister, how can there be no betrayal." ”
Ge Hu asked, "Xiao Zai, do you know why there has never been a wolf spirit minion in this world?"
Wu Zhizai wanted to say that maybe it was because of the skin on their bodies that the natural spirits did not treat them as slaves, but as prey, just like other wild beasts in the forest.
Isn't it easier to think like this and feel wrong, treat them as minions, and wait for them to die, and then take their wolf spirit inner armor?
Ge Hu said: "We wolf spirits refuse to be slaves because we are the 'children of the moon god'. We are protected by the god of the moon, we are the people of the god of the moon, the freest people in this heaven and earth, how can we become the slaves of others. If we become other people's slaves, wouldn't we be worthy of the moon god? Therefore, we do not want to be slaves, even if we wolf spirits are captured and expelled, we will not be slaves. ”
Freely. Wu Zhizai has been in this world for so long, and it is the first time he has heard these two words.
Yes, how precious freedom is. When he was a general in the past, his head hurt from the torture of red tape. In the General's Mansion, there seems to be an invisible cage, and this cage has a sense of oppression, which makes me very uncomfortable and wants to escape. But Wu Zhizai didn't flee, because the outside was not necessarily better than the General's Mansion.
The wolf is such a proud animal, and so is the wolf spirit. If you have to be a slave of the wolf spirit, then the wolf spirit can only become a slave of freedom, and live dependent on freedom.
In his original world, people tamed the dog, a close relative of the wolf, as a pet to keep around. But man cannot tame the arrogant wolf, they belong to the vast heaven and earth, not to the feet of man.
When he first saw a book about the wolf spirit, he was initially affected by the content of the book and hated the wolf spirit. But after living for a long time, I found that the beast spirits in this world were enslaved by the spirit of nature, and found the evil things done by the powerful children of this world, and the perception that people thought that the beast spirits should be enslaved.
He is very sympathetic to the plight of the beast spirits, and has the attitude that people should get along with each other as equals. A long time ago, he was unaffected by the books and had his own opinion of the wolf spirit.
