Chapter 310: Wolves
Those people may have been slow to react, or they may have investigated their whereabouts, and spent some time walking on the road for an afternoon without running into them, afraid that they have been left behind.
They found a place to settle down, hid the carriage behind the jungle, and then found a cave to rest and rest, now I am afraid that there is no chance to find any village, or the county seat, and find a place to stay, which means that those people in black will also come to the door, they are not simple, and they will not give up until they achieve their goal.
So now they could only sleep in the wilderness, and the two attendants did not complain, and when they arrived at the place where they settled, they built a bonfire.
Xi Muyun glanced up at the distance, sighed leisurely and said, "Cuiyun, if I die this time, how many people in the world will be sad for me." ”
As soon as Cuiyun heard this, she hurriedly spit out a few mouthfuls and said, "Miss, why did you say this?" Don't say such unlucky things, especially if the purpose of those people is not to want your name, but to have some purpose, otherwise they won't want to stun you with incense. ”
"I know that people are born to die, and I can't give up hope of life at any time, but ...... I just want to know how many people in this world would care about me if I died. Xi Muyun had never thought about such a question before, and now that he thinks about it, perhaps the greatest loneliness of a person is that no one knows when he is alive, and no one misses him when he dies.
Seeing her say this, Cuiyun was slightly stunned, "Miss, don't think so. ”
"Well, when I go back this time, I will have to think of a new plan, or I can choose to go to sea and see somewhere else, and it may be much better to leave this sad place." Xi Muyun smiled and said that in the past, he always felt that the relationship between him and Qi Lichen was faint but thin, and the water would not be vigorous for a long time, so it would not be very sad in the end, but at this time, he found that it would be more and more through the accumulation of day by day, not that the water would not be vigorous if it was long, and in the end it was her who was the saddest.
Just as he was thinking, it was not serious, and suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves, which seemed particularly clear under the empty valley.
Xi Muyun hurriedly stood up and said, "Hurry up and put out the fire, take the soil and tamp it, don't let people find out, we are here." ”
The two attendants immediately did so, although it was summer, there was no need to be afraid of the cold, but at night there would be wild wolves, and these wolves were generally in groups and would not be alone, so if they encountered wolves, they would be even more dangerous than those men in black, because these wolves came for people to be delicious ingredients, and they would tear people to pieces mercilessly, and those men in black seemed to have some other purpose.
In the distance, there were bursts of wolf howls from the mountains, and the smell of freshly roasted hare meat wafted away.
Xi Muyun only ate a little, and then he didn't want to eat it.
In the dark night, there is not a single light in the dense jungle, and there are some saints looking at it, and the wolf howl in the distance seems to be getting closer and closer, as if it is on a hill not far away, and it will swoop down at any time.
Cuiyun listened to the wolf howl, a little infiltrating, and couldn't help but be afraid, "I heard those wolf howls just now that they were still far away, why did they come so quickly, is there something ......?"
Xi Muyun frowned slightly, looked at the hare bones scattered on the ground, and then understood everything and hurriedly said: "The wild wolves were attracted by the aroma of our barbecue, they should be nearby, and they have already discovered us." ”
Cuiyun was stunned, "What now?" ”
She had never seen such a situation, especially when she encountered packs of wolves, not to mention, they were really weak and weak, and although the fire could disperse the wolves, it could also attract those men in black.
Xi Muyun can't manage so much now, the most important thing is to get through the current crisis, first disperse these wolves, and then think about whether those people will come.
Thinking of this, she immediately picked up the torch and lit it, "Pioneer scatter the wolves. ”
Hearing this, several people picked up torches and scattered them around, and countless pairs of green eyes loomed in the dark jungle, looking so terrifying, as if they had come from hell.
And the wolves seemed to be really afraid of the fire, and kept wandering outside, not daring to come forward, as if waiting for them to show the slightest slackness, and then stepped forward, tossed their chests with their claws, and ripped their throats with their teeth.
The wolves kept howling and seemed to be looking for an opportunity.
Xi Muyun's spirit was extremely tight, in the first twenty years of her boring life, she had never experienced such a death threat, and now, she did not dare to relax at all.
The wolves hesitated and wandered, never daring to move forward, and they were in a stalemate for almost half an hour, and they really couldn't find a breakthrough, so they slowly left with some reluctance.
Xi Muyun breathed a sigh of relief.
But one of the attendants said, "The wolves are very cunning creatures, and when they see that they can't find a chance, they will pretend to leave, and then they may return soon." ”
"Isn't this human-like?" Cuiyun asked in disbelief.
"Yes, some wild wolves are really the same as people, with human intelligence, we can't leave this place first, there is a cave behind, we can burn a fire in front of the cave door, they dare not come in, after dawn, those wolves will definitely leave, and it will not be too late for us to leave, otherwise we will easily be found by wolves on the road like this." The attendant said in a deep voice.
Cuiyun didn't believe it, but said with a little worry: "Those people will soon chase after us, in case we are blocked here at that time, it will become a turtle in an urn, and we will be slaughtered." ”
"It's death to go out and to stay, it's better to gamble, maybe you can win the bet." Xi Muyun said in a deep voice: "Let's stay here." ”
Cuiyun nodded and sighed softly, hoping that no accidents would happen.
This leaf seems to be extraordinarily long, every minute and second is tormented, I don't know how long it has been, the sky has not yet dawned, Cuiyun couldn't help but ask, "What time is it now?" ”
When one of the attendants heard this, he stood outside and looked at the willow tops on the moon, which was the time of the third watch, so he turned around and said: "It's just the third watch, there are still several hours before dawn, so bear with it a little longer." ”
"Never felt like it had been this long." Cuiyun took a breath, turned her head to look at Xi Muyun and asked, "Miss, are you cold?" ”
Although it was close to summer, the altitude in the mountains was high, so it was still a little cold at night, and several of them were thinly dressed.
Xi Muyun shook his head, and one of the attendants stood up and said, "The fire outside is about to go out, I'll go find some dry firewood and store the fire, otherwise the wolf will break in, and the fire will be bigger and you can warm up the young lady." ”
Xi Muyun nodded, and glanced at the outside of the cave with some concern, "Be more careful, and quickly return if the situation is wrong." ”
The retinue nodded, and walked out quickly, the wolf howl outside still came from time to time, listening to the sound seemed not to be near or far, it was estimated that on which hill to pay close attention to the movement below, and when they relaxed, they all flew down, giving them a fatal blow, thinking about it made people feel frightened.
Xi Muyun shrank inside, a long time had passed, but the entourage had not returned, she couldn't help but be a little anxious, standing at the entrance of the cave and looking outside, she couldn't see anything clearly in the dark night, and the boundless night seemed to swallow people.
