Chapter 2 Becoming a Fool

Xiao Ding settled down, carried a firewood knife to the discarded basket, and took a closer look, it turned out that the basket was covered with a black linen gown, which was slightly fluttering by the night breeze.

Xiao Ding picked up his gown and saw that there was still a small half basket of wilted wild vegetables in the basket.

He has no interest in wild vegetables, but prefers gowns. I just didn't have any clothes to wear, so it was delivered to my door. Xiao Ding put on his gown and felt that it fit well.

It's just that the buttons of this dress, he always feels weird when he looks at it. I don't seem to have seen this kind of cloth button, and I think I have seen it somewhere. I still can't remember the specifics, and my head hurts a lot when I think too much.

The upper body is clothed, and the lower body is still missing a pair of pants. At this time, it was late autumn, and it was still a little cold at night without clothes.

Xiao Ding looked left and right, and his eyes fell on the remains of the corpse that had been eaten by the wolf. The two wolves mainly ate the internal organs and torso of the corpse, and although the legs of the corpse also had traces of being bitten, they were generally intact.

Ding ripped a pair of tattered blood-stained linen pants from the two stump legs and put them on his own legs. He tore another strip of cloth and tied it around his waist as a belt.

It's better to talk than nothing, and tattered pants are better than nothing at all.

Before leaving, Xiao Ding looked at the corpse again, thinking that it was not easy to be a human being, this person was very likely to go into the mountains to dig wild vegetables during the day, and took off his coat and put it in the basket when it was hot at noon, but he didn't expect to meet these two wolves later.

Forget it, since he is wearing his clothes and pants, he can't let him be like this in the wilderness, the corpse will have to be fed to the beast sooner or later, so bury him.

Xiao Ding found a place with soft soil, dug a pit with a firewood knife, collected the remaining limbs, buried them in the pit, and then moved a few large stones to press on it to prevent the beasts from picking up the floating soil and eating the corpse.

Returning to the two gray wolves again, he suddenly felt as if a beast was approaching in the surrounding forest, which was an instinct. Xiao Ding guessed that it was the smell of blood that attracted the carnivores deep in the mountains and forests.

Just as he was about to leave here quickly, he suddenly heard a faint shout from the direction of the mountain.

Xiao Ding pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and as the sound gradually approached, he finally heard the shouts of those people clearly:

"Big brother—"

"Little Ding—"

"Tian fool—"

Listening to the voice, there were about a dozen people, and they seemed to be looking for a few people called "Xiao Ding" and "Tian Fool". At this time, Xiao Ding didn't know that he was called "Xiao Ding".

After listening for a while, the voices of those people had approached, and Xiao Ding faintly saw a little fire in the forest below the hillside. He hurriedly grabbed the firewood knife and greeted the group.

No matter who the other party is looking for, you should still join them, at least there are many people, and you don't have to worry about meeting beasts.

He didn't go far before Xiao Ding saw the group of people.

There were more than a dozen sturdy men, holding torches, shovels, pickaxes, clubs, and the like, looking around and shouting.

Xiao Ding knew from the clothes they wore with patches on top of each other that they were ordinary toilers, not noble children.

But why do they feel strange when they look at their clothes? It's the same feeling when I saw the buttons of my gown just now.

Costume?

A word suddenly popped into Xiao Ding's mind!

But he didn't understand why the word came up or what it meant.

"Big brother! I've finally found you, are you hurt? ”

Just when Xiao Ding was stunned, the crowd on the opposite side also found Xiao Ding standing there stupidly and motionless.

"Huh?" Xiao Ding looked at the thin young man who asked him, and thought, is he asking me? Does he know me? Are these people coming for me?

With question marks in his head, Xiao Ding felt very messy.

"Big brother, don't you know me? How's your injury? The thin young man approached and saw that Xiao Ding was covered in blood and there were wounds everywhere on his bare skin, so he grabbed Xiao Ding's left hand, looked Xiao Ding up and down and asked, his eyes were full of worry.

"You're my brother?" Xiao Ding looked at the young man in front of him suspiciously and asked.

"I'm your brother-in-law Zhao Laixi, don't you remember me? You're my brother-in-law! Zhao Laixi said eagerly.

"Hey, Tian fool, you won't be so stupid that you don't even know your brother-in-law, right?" A young man next to him said to Xiao Ding with a smile.

"Tian fool?" Xiao Ding was confused again. The weak chicken guy in front of him has become his brother-in-law, and he has become a fool.

"Chicken, don't listen to that black charcoal. You don't have a bright mind, but you don't know your family. A sturdy man behind Zhao Laixi said.

"Chicks?" What's going on, the chick is me too? Well, it seems familiar. Xiao Ding frowned, he desperately hoped that he could recover his memory, but when he thought of the headache, he didn't think of anything.

"I said Xiao Ding, it's not Second Uncle Niu who said you, you came out yesterday, why didn't you know how to go home at night? Your mom and dad are worried about you. Come on, don't be stupid there, let's go down the mountain and go home. A middle-aged man in his forties said to Xiao Ding.

"Home? Parents? Xiao Ding? Xiao Ding muttered in a low voice.

Hey? Xiao Ding? This name is so familiar! It sounds intimate. Could it be that in addition to being called Tian Fool and Xiaoji, he also has a name called Xiaoding?

"Hahaha, look at you, it's not wrong to say that he's a fool, he doesn't even know what his surname is, isn't he a fool?" The guy who had been called Black Charcoal Head spoke again.

"Okay, black charcoal head, you don't have to say a few words, stupid people have their own stupid blessings, you are stupid or not. Now that the people have been found, I think we should go back as soon as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome to run into gray wolves, I heard that there are two oversized gray wolves in the mountains who have often come down the mountain recently, and several pigs and sheep in the neighboring villages have been taken away. A middle-aged man with a long face said to the black charcoal head.

"Not only did you take pigs and sheep in your mouth, but even people were taken away." Someone in the crowd took over the conversation.

"What, people are taken away? Who was so unlucky to be taken away by a wolf? When they heard that the gray wolf had attacked someone, everyone immediately began to talk about it.

"Liu Laitoubei, a homeless man in Luoyan Village, was seen running to the foot of the mountain to find something to eat, but he met two oversized gray wolves, those two wolves, bigger than calves, went up and bit off Liu Laitou's neck with one bite......"

"I also heard that Sun Zhutou, who was sent down by the county, led a dozen or so hunters to hunt the two wolves in the mountains, and as a result, in the end, three people ran back, and they were all injured......

When everyone heard these words, they couldn't help but shrink their necks in fright. For a moment, the crowd fell silent, and everyone began to look around cautiously, as if the two wolves were in the nearby woods.

"Big brother, let's go home." Zhao Laixi heard everyone's talk, and his heart was also worried. Seeing that Xiao Ding was still standing there in a daze, he pulled his arm and said.

"yes, okay." Xiao Ding turned back to his senses and answered. He still didn't remember his origins. Hearing Zhao Laixi say that he wanted to take himself home, he thought to himself, maybe after going back, he might be able to think of something when he saw familiar people and things.

Following the crowd and taking two steps forward, suddenly there was a "gurgling" sound in the stomach, it turned out that he was hungry. I don't know if there is anything delicious at home, Xiao Ding thought of the two wolves just now, well, roasting wolf legs should be good!

So he stopped Zhao Laixi: "Hey, that, brother-in-law——, I killed two wolves just now, should we take them back together?" Xiao Ding didn't know the situation at home, and asked tentatively.

"What? You killed two wolves? Everyone was shocked.
