Chapter Ninety-Five: The Wolf Child

"Wolves... Child? ”

"What is a wolf child?"

Obviously, for what Xie Qingji said, several people have never heard of it, what kind of legend should this be, after all, this description is really unfamiliar.

"Yes."

Xie Qingji nodded with a serious expression, his eyes swept over the few people in front of him, and then he walked back and forth in the middle with his hands behind his back, and said in a half-thinking state:

"Growing up at home, my father asked me to read the anecdotes of various places, and I remember reading a legend about a wolf child in a certain book of Yongxia Gonzo.

It is said that some people in remote places, because they have too many children and too heavy burdens, cannot afford to raise them, so they will abandon the babies they are born on the barren mountains and mountains, and some will be discovered by travelers and brought home to raise them with compassion.

Others may be eaten by wild beasts, or starved and frozen...

Finally, these abandoned babies will meet human beasts, and these beasts will take the child back to the nest and raise him to grow up, and this kind of child is called a wolf child...

Wolves are like wild beasts, they are agile, they are nocturnal, they hunt their prey, they wait for passers-by to rest, they steal their food, they are naturally sensitive to the smell of food, and they know nothing about money. ”

"I see."

After listening to Xie Qingji's explanation, Su Yange nodded as if he understood it, and said puzzledly:

"But... He took my baggage with him, isn't the wolf child only interested in food? ”

"Maybe Ayan, you scared him, and in a hurry, he took the burden away."

Lu Zhian swayed to Su Yange and stood still, looked at her sideways and said.

"This..."

Su Yange lowered his head and said with some embarrassment:

"I was also nervous for a while, and I wanted to use this to give myself courage, but I didn't expect to scare him away..."

"So, Ayan is also a kind of emergency measure." Lu Zhian looked at her and comforted her, then looked at Xie Qingji and asked:

"Since the wolf boy is not interested in other things, then we should still be able to find what Ayan lost, Qingji, what can you do?"

"Most of the wolf children live in caves, or some dark and damp places, can Hikoshi see the direction he fled? We looked around in the direction, and there might be clues. ”

Xie Qingji nodded slowly and looked at Su Yange.

"See... But all I saw was a dark shadow running into the forest to the south. ”

Su Yange also hurriedly replied to what he had seen, as if he was waiting for their opinions.

"Then let's go to the south to look for it, we should still be able to find it, the range of activities of the wolf child will not be too far from the residence, and the time of the incident is interrupted, we should still be able to find it."

Xie Qingji looked at Su Yange, turned his head and said to Lu Zhi'an, waiting for him to arrange the next move.

"It's ugly now, and it should be almost time."

Lu Zhian looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, calculated the time according to the North Star, and then came back to his senses and said to a few people:

"Then let's go to the south, and after a while the sky should slowly dawn, and let's go and see what the wolf kid is known for."

"Okay."

As soon as they said that, they acted, because it was almost dawn, and they were ready to move forward by the moonlight first, so as not to startle the grass and snakes by the firelight.

Waiting for Mo Chen to extinguish the fire, several people sorted out their things and prepared to leave, Su Yange also asked who the extra cloak on his body was.

As a result, Lu Zhi'an took the cloak leisurely and said that it was his own, it was cold at night in the mountains, and several of them had internal support, and they were afraid that Su Yange's small body would not be able to stand it, so he saw that she was asleep, so he added one more to her.

Lu Zhi'an said it lightly, but Su Yange blushed in the night, and he was also moved a lot in his heart.

The rest of the people didn't have any extra thoughts, they didn't ridicule, Xie Qingji instructed before leaving:

"The wolf child is agile, and his claws are very sharp, so be more careful, I'm afraid that if you are taken by surprise and injured by a sneak attack, it will not be good..."

"Hmm."

"Okay."

"Ayan, walk in the middle."

In the end, it was Lu Zhian who said to Su Yange, after all, it can be regarded as... After seeing Su Yange's skills, I think it is better for her to walk in a safe position.

The group walked south, because it was not yet dawn, and the speed of walking was not fast, because they still had to search to see if there were any suspicious places around to hide.

"Is there something on the ground up ahead?"

Chang Feng took the lead, stopped walking suddenly, and his steps were lighter, and he slowly took two steps back to them, and said softly.

"What's that?"

Xie Qingji was behind him, and he also looked ahead in the direction of his finger, this one paused, and the other three also understood the reason, and they were silent, and the five people stared closely at the unknown physics in front of them, and looked at it for a while, but there was no movement at all, Lu Zhian thought about it and said:

"It doesn't matter if it's a human or a ghost, go over and take a look."

"Let's go."

Chang Feng said, also holding his hand on the hilt of the sword, as if he could react quickly if something happened in a while.

Several people got closer and closer, and when there were still two or three steps, Chang Feng finally saw what it was, and he felt a little funny, and said:

"A burden that makes us so nervous."

"Baggage?"

When Su Yange heard this, he leaned forward, walked to the burden in two or three steps, squatted down and groped for a while, touched a few things, took them out and looked at them by light, Su Yange was a little happy, but he didn't dare to be too loud, picked up the burden and returned to a few people, and whispered:

"It's mine!"

"Ayan's baggage?"

Lu Zhian asked confirmatively: "Is there anything missing?" ”

"Yes, it's mine, nothing less than dry food."

Su Yange also answered truthfully, and then expressed his opinion:

"It seems that what Gongzi Xie said is right, he is only interested in food..."

"So? Is that hand really a wolf child's? How do you think it's weird..."

Xie Qingji frowned, rubbing his chin with his fingers, but didn't say the second half of the sentence: wolf children are only interested in food, and people are also flesh and blood... Therefore, if you are unprepared, you are likely to be attacked by wolf children.

But now that the wolf child is taking dry food first, instead of attacking people, does this wolf child have human nature?

But after thinking about it, I changed my words:

"It seems that the wolf child is around here, so everyone should be vigilant."

They should all go down, after all, in this group of people now, Xie Qingji knows a lot about this kind of thing, and everyone is naturally willing to listen to him.

After searching for nearly half an hour, the sky was also cloudy, and finally I saw a cave with two people wide at the entrance of the cave...

A few people were still in the woods, hiding behind the trees and observing, waiting for a while, there was no movement, Mo Chen seemed to be waiting a little anxiously, without saying a word, he held the hilt of the sword, and after tidying up, he wanted to step out, but was stopped by Lu Zhian:

"Let's go."

"Huh?"

Mo Chen thought that Lu Zhian would say something like waiting, and then observe, but he didn't expect to say it so simply, and hurriedly said:

"Lord Wang, let your subordinates go down to explore the danger first."

"Let's go together, so we can have a response."

Lu Zhian didn't answer his words, and repeated his words again, Mo Chen looked at him and finally didn't refute anymore, and nodded solemnly.

"Wolf children generally live with the beasts that raised them... The beast doesn't necessarily have children, so the number is not guaranteed..."

Xie Qingji frowned, a little worried, afraid that he would not be able to deal with it, although they were good at kung fu, but the speed of the wolf child was fast, and Yan Gongzi's skills were not good, if there were many of them, it was estimated that it would be difficult to parry.

Chang Feng seemed to be a little excited, standing beside Xie Qingji, putting his arm on his shoulder, and said with some eagerness:

"How do you know if you don't look at it? It's okay, if it's a lot, let's turn around and run. ”

“…”

Xie Qingji was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to explain it to make him understand that the speed of beasts is generally very fast, and I am afraid that it will be a problem if he can't even run at that time.

"Instead of guessing, let's go straight to the answer."

Lu Zhian frowned and looked at the cave in front of him, finally spoke, and everyone went directly.

After adjusting their states to each other, they finally raised their feet and slowly walked around the side of the cave from the side, and they couldn't hear a sound, Mo Chen looked back at Lu Zhi'an, as if waiting for his next instructions.

Lu Zhian raised his chin at him, signaling that he could take a look.

Mo Chen nodded silently, his steps were light, he could hardly hear the sound, walked to the side of the cave, and leaned over to see the situation inside.

Maybe Xie Qingji was too serious when he said it, which made Mo Chen a little jealous in his heart, and after taking a deep breath, he finally mustered up the courage to lean out and look inside.

It didn't matter what he saw, he was directly surprised by the scene in front of him:

There were no strange wolf children or beasts in it, only a dense group of people, and by the misty light, he looked at the people inside, and the people inside were staring at him with their eyes open, and their expressions seemed to be a little nervous...

“…”

Mo Chen was stared at by so many people, stumbled under his feet, and quickly stood firm, and in full view of everyone, he retracted his body and quickly retreated to Lu Zhi'an's side.

"Lord Wang..."

Mo Chen swallowed his saliva and twitched the corner of his mouth:

"There are people in the cave... Normal people, a lot. ”

"A lot of normal people?"

When Lu Zhian heard this result, he was also a little surprised, and he no longer hesitated at the moment, raised his feet and went to the cave, and several people behind him also hurriedly followed, Lu Zhian did not pause, and stood directly in front of the cave.

He also saw clearly, there were indeed people inside, many people, the cave was not wide, it looked crowded, and the people who were close to him were looking at him with their eyes open and nervous.

Then several people also followed, and they were stunned for a moment when they saw the scene in front of them, so the two sides began to look at each other silently, and suddenly, an old man popped out of the cave.

Defenseless, several people also subconsciously took a few quick steps back, and Mo Chen and Chang Feng also directly pulled out the sword from the scabbard, only facing the direction of the old man.

Su Yange frowned and pinched the silver needle on his fingertips, Lu Zhian looked at it expressionlessly, Xie Qingji took out the folding fan again, opened the fan to cover it, and only stared at the person in front of him with a pair of squinted eyes.

At this moment, the old man suddenly "poofed", fell on his knees on the ground, trembled and said:

"Don't! Don't kill us! ”
