020 [The World of Tigers and Wolves]
Yuan Gang is forty-seven years old this year, he has lived for half his life, and the largest wolf pack he has ever heard of is only sixteen.
It was still winter, and the mountains were hit by heavy snow that had not been seen in a century. The wolves couldn't find anything to eat, so they gathered and went down the mountain to feed, and at night they killed countless livestock in Zazosi's cattle village.
It's April now, which belongs to the Mengxia season, how can there be more than twenty wolves?
It's simply unreasonable.
Suddenly, smoke billowed from the hills miles away, and flocks of birds circled in startle. Then there was another gong, which was so loud that at least hundreds of people were striking it at the same time.
Yuan Gang suddenly woke up to the fact that this was a man-made disaster, and it was a man-made disaster caused by Toast. No other tribe could have had so many gongs.
The devil knows what Toast wants to do.
The seven or eight wolves who retreated to the top of the mountain were originally watching Yuan Gang, Wang Meng, and Master Shen from afar. At this moment, when he heard the sound of the gong, he suddenly became flustered, and turned around and fled without a trace under the leadership of the head wolf.
Yuan Gang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said to Wang Meng: "Hurry down the mountain and help!" ”
Wang Meng dragged Shen Fuxuan up and admonished, "You wait here, we'll be back soon." ”
Master Shen looked around and said in a panic, "Have the wolves all run away?" ”
Yuan Gang and Wang Meng didn't bother to pay attention to this goods, and ran down the mountain.
……
In the previous brief battle, they had killed seven, seriously wounded two, and several wolves had suffered varying degrees of minor injuries.
With such a casualty ratio, it is no wonder that the head wolf decisively ordered a retreat.
If they attack desperately, Wang Yuan and the others will definitely not be able to bear it, but this wolf pack should almost be abolished.
According to the habits of wild wolves, if Wang Yuan and the others get together and stay vigilant at all times, the wolves will really flee after watching for a while. Some wolves who are very vindictive may have to follow quietly, but they still choose to give up if they can't find an opportunity.
But Yuan Zhi, this kid is too reckless, chasing a few wolves wildly, he is simply looking for death!
About a mile away, the wolf that was wounded by Wang Meng's shot could not run. Several other wolves turned around one after another, scattered their formations and began to counterattack, intending to quickly kill the lone Yuan Zhi.
They even know how to protect the wounded, and the ones responsible for surrounding and charging are uninjured wolves. Those who have been injured and hung up on the lottery will follow behind to look for opportunities, and pounce on and bite whenever there is a vacancy.
Yuan Zhi had already exhausted his strength when he was running, and at this moment, he only slashed with a knife, and his ankle, arm and thigh were bitten one after another.
"Phew!"
The thing's eyes were red under the pain, and he roared with his knife and slashed out, and the wounded wolf was completely hacked to death. As a result, the other wolf looked for an opportunity to pounce on his throat, he hurriedly raised his arm to block, and both arms were bitten in an instant, and the four wolves hung on him and refused to let go.
If no one rescues him, he will bleed Yuan Zhi to death.
There was also a wolf with an arrow in the leg, which was wounded by Wang Meng before. The beast limped around Yuan Zhi in a circle, as if he was looking for a vital part to lower his mouth.
Wang Yuan rushed at this time, and an arrow shot out during the run, accurately hitting the lame wolf's back.
But that's all, the power of the earth bow and bone arrows is too small. The arrow pierced the wolf's back and flailed around, and the beast continued to jump, and turned its head to pounce on Wang Yuan.
I should have known that I should have delayed a little time to pick up the two iron arrows that had been shot.
Wang Yuan slashed out head-on, hitting the wolf's nose.
The lame wolf rolled to the ground in pain, and pressed the arrow on his back, and immediately whined in pain. As soon as it struggled to get up, Wang Yuan slashed it again, directly cutting off half of the wolf's neck.
The broken knife in Wang Yuan's hand has been broken out of several gaps.
There are still four wolves hanging on Yuan Zhi, although Yuan Lao Er is reckless and stupid, his willpower is super strong. He held on to it, because if he fell, the brutes would be able to bite him by the throat.
Wang Yuan swung his knife again and slashed at the waist of a wolf, which instantly let go of its mouth and was no longer powerless to bite Yuan Zhi's ankle.
The other three wolves saw that the situation was not good, and they heard the sound of gongs in the distance, as well as the urgent call of the first wolf, and immediately let go of Yuan Zhi and fled down the mountain.
Yuan Lao Er regained his freedom and collapsed to the ground in an instant.
"Don't kill them all, keep me one for fun!" Song Ling'er shouted from the front.
Sick in the brain!
This shout frightened the wolf, and seeing that there were more than a dozen people in front of him, he hurriedly turned around and fled to the mountain walls on both sides. One of them panicked, and actually bypassed Wang Yuan's side, and was slashed into the head by him.
The wolf's head is so hard that the knife gets stuck in the bone and can't be pulled out.
The main reason is that the steel fire is too poor, and Yuan Zhi's knife is much sharper and tougher.
Song Ling'er was extremely excited at the moment, took her bow and aimed at the wolf who was climbing the slope, and shot two arrows in a row, all of which were stroked, so angry that she stomped her feet.
Wang Yuan came to Yuan Zhi's side and carefully examined the injury.
The kid was bitten into an artery in his leg, blood gushed out like a spring, and the whole person was already in a coma.
Wang Yuan hurriedly took off his clothes and tore them into strips of cloth to tie his thighs, so as not to bleed too much and die of this reckless thing. As for whether you can survive or not, it all depends on creation, and you can't have a blood transfusion in these years.
Song Ling'er walked up to the two and glanced at them curiously. Ignoring the blood, he stepped on the wolf corpse with his feet, trying to pull out Wang Yuan's knife.
After all her strength, Song Ling'er finally pulled out the knife successfully, and complained: "Your knife is about to collapse into a saw, and it is not as good as my kitchen knife." ”
Wang Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to her and continued to bandage Yuan Zhi's wounds.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, you're dumb?" Song Ling'er was still chattering.
Ah Chai ran over and pointed at Yuan Zhi: "Miss, I'm afraid this person won't survive, and the wound on his leg can't stop bleeding." ”
Song Ling'er hurriedly bent down to check the injury, and quickly stood up again, and said lightly: "A native is dead when he dies." Well, after all, it's also a warrior, so let's try to see if you can save it. ”
It is estimated that these guards are often injured, and they actually carry trauma medicine with them, and they are very skilled in treating them.
They picked out the black paste from the clay pot, smeared it on Yuan Zhi's wounds, and then wrapped it with strips of cloth. The superficial wound actually stopped bleeding quickly, only the thigh was still flowing, and the ointment could not be pasted at all, and the strip of cloth that bound the wound was quickly soaked with blood.
Ah Chai knelt down directly on one knee, with the help of his whole body weight, pressed his knee against the wound, and said to Wang Yuan: "If it still bleeds like this after a quarter of an hour, the Bodhisattva will not be able to save him when he comes." Little brother, you are also injured, we have healing medicine, hurry up and bandage it. ”
"Thank you!" Wang Yuan hugged his fists.
Song Ling'er was unhappy: "Hey, this is my medicine, they are also my entourage, you should thank me!" ”
Wang Yuan had no choice but to say, "Thank you, girl, for saving my companion." ”
Song Linger smiled and waved her hand and said, "No thanks, it's just a gesture." ”
Just as the guards were banding Wang Yuan's wounds, Song Ling'er asked again, "How old are you?" Doesn't look very old. ”
Wang Yuan replied casually: "Fifteen." ”
Song Ling'er circled around Wang Yuan twice, looked carefully, and saw through the truth with an expression: "You lied to me, you are thirteen years old at most." But it's also very powerful, he can actually kill wolves with his own hands, and he must be a tribal warrior when he grows up. ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Your eyesight is so good, I am indeed thirteen years old." ”
"Haha, I guessed it," Song Ling'er kicked away the broken knife with a smile and said in a charity-like tone, "Be my attendant, I will reward you with a good knife, and I will give you a silver flower every month." ”
Although Wang Yuan was very disgusted with this arrogant attitude, this girl was a noble daughter of the Song family and could not be easily offended. Besides, people just gave away wound medicine, and there is no need to turn their faces because of a few words. He immediately replied: "I have received an invitation from Mr. Song Ji to go to the Song clan to study in a few days." ”
"Hahahaha!"
Song Ling'er laughed and trembled: "Song Ji is my brother, a nerd." You can kill wolves at a young age, and you will definitely be a warrior when you grow up, and you actually want to study with those nerds. Have you been stupid by a wolf? ”
Wang Yuan said: "I want to take the imperial examination and become a big official." ”
Song Ling'er said disdainfully: "What if you become a big official? What kind of governors and political envoys in Guizhou City, the officials are big enough, and they don't want to see my father's face. ”
Wang Yuan asked rhetorically: "As your entourage, don't you have to look at your face?" ”
"Uh......" Song Ling'er paused, pointed to the guard next to him and said, "Ask yourself, I am very good to them, and there is no such benevolent master as me in Guizhou." ”
So, you take them to catch pandas and lose half of other people's faces?
Wang Yuan didn't bother to refute, and he couldn't explain it clearly to this girl, because their three views were completely different. His wound had been bandaged, and he immediately squatted beside Yuan Zhi and woke up Yuan Zhi, who wanted to close his eyes: "Don't sleep, open your eyes!" ”
At this moment, Yuan Gang and Wang Meng finally ran over, followed by a panting Master Shen.
Yuan Gang saw his son lying on the ground, his face as pale as paper, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Achai said: "This little brother's wound has been dressed, but it still bleeds, and whether he can survive can only depend on luck." ”
Yuan Gang suddenly felt that his throat was dry, swallowed his saliva, and calmed his emotions and said, "Thank you for your help!" ”
After a while, Achai tried to let go of his knee and observed, "There is no new blood, it seems that it should have stopped." But don't touch him for the time being, lest you get another wound. ”
When Yuan Gang heard this, his whole body was sore, and he sat on the ground.
But leaving people in the wilderness is not an option, and it may rain again at night.
Wang Yuan carried a broken knife to chop bamboo, asked Yuan Gang and Wang Meng to take off their clothes, and quickly made a simple stretcher. said: "It will take at least three days to go back to the village, and you can only carry Yuan Er to Guizhou City." You can no longer sleep on the streets, you have to find a hotel to recuperate, and these wolf corpses should be able to exchange a lot of money. ”
Ngawang reminded: "Your donkeys are at the bottom of the mountain. ”
Wang Meng immediately went down the mountain to look for the donkey, and soon brought it back, and the three beasts were grazing on the side of the road.
Everyone picked up the wolf corpse, tied it to the donkey's back, and carried Yuan Zhi back to the city.
Suddenly, thousands of Tusi soldiers came from the mountain along the official road, carrying a dead pure white tiger.
Yuan Gang was angry when he saw this, and he finally figured it out.
In order to capture the tiger, Tusi sent thousands of soldiers to search, and it is estimated that he swept many mountains. It was another gong and another arson, which frightened the wild wolves in the mountains into a group, and collectively escaped from the mountains to find food.
As for why Tusi wanted to kill the tiger, of course, it was not to eliminate harm for the people, but to bribe the eunuch Liu Jin with a white tiger skin to get rid of the unsightly Guizhou governor Wang Kui in one fell swoop.
