Sitting on a tree pole that had been blown off by the wind, he pointed to the east and west for a while.

Zhao Xiaotian said that he wanted to go to the east to see, so he stepped out of the forest.

Facing the sun, climb a dirt slope overgrown with shuttles.

As far as the eye can see, the river meanders into the distance, like a giant python, lying quietly on the grassy ground.

An eagle, at some point, quietly hovered above Zhao Xiaotian's head. It looked vigilant and focused, as if it was afraid that someone would steal its lover. Sometimes it spins high, and sometimes it slides diagonally in front of you.

Zhao Xiaotian is immersed in a beautiful vision for the future. Suddenly, I faintly heard the screams of a woman in the distance. He listened intently for a while, and made sure that the sound came from under some old elm trees in the southeast. Without thinking too much, he rushed through his legs like an arrow.

Circumventing a mound, he was amazed by the scene in front of him.

I saw a woman in a short coat under a big elm tree, leaning against the tree, desperately waving a wooden stick in her hand. Two or three steps away from her, two big bad wolves with baring teeth were bent on their waists, constantly changing their positions. There is an opportunity to pounce and put down the woman's posture.

The sound of the horses' hooves, as if to disturb the wolf's plans, gave up on the woman and took a few steps back with their tails between their legs.

He bared his teeth fiercely at Zhao Xiaotian, then suddenly let go of his four claws and pounced fearlessly.

Zhao Xiaotian, a contemptuous smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and reached out to pull out the shell gun from his back waist "Dangdang" twice.

The two wolves that flew towards them rolled over in the blink of an eye and fell to the ground. I didn't even snort, and I lost my breath.

Zhao Xiaotian put away the gun, dismounted and came under the tree.

I saw the woman squatting softly under the tree, trembling as if she was sifting chaff. Half of his face was covered by a strand of messy hair, and it was terrifyingly white.

The convulsive mouth makes a "click" sound from time to time.

Zhao Xiaotian leaned forward and asked, "What's wrong, right?" ”

The woman, looking at him in horror, instinctively shrank back.

Zhao Xiaotian smiled at her and said, "Don't be afraid, the wolf has already let me beat me to death." ”

The expression on the woman's face seemed to be a little more lively. She lived with a stick and tried to stand up, but her body was weak and she didn't stand up. Leaned upside down, leaning softly to the side.

Zhao Xiaotian hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and the woman trembled and leaned against the trunk of the tree. The first movement was slow and powerful, pushing away Zhao Xiaotian's hand holding him.

Zhao Xiaotian took two steps back and fixed his eyes on the woman. The pale cheeks are quite delicate, and the black hair, although it looks a little messy, it can't hide the handsomeness of the woman.

The woman peeked at Zhao Xiaotian and saw that he was looking at herself greedily. tightened his body in a little fright, and instinctively froze the wooden stick in front of him.

Zhao Xiaotian looked anxious, and he didn't know what to say, but Wang Xueming's voice came from behind him: "His aunt, what are you doing here?" ”

When the woman saw that it was Wang Xueming, she sat down on the ground, as if she had no father, covered her face and cried loudly.

Xiangzi glanced at Zhao Xiaotian with a suspicious gaze.

Who knows, Zhao Xiaotian's ears turned red, and he shouted with displeasure: "If it weren't for me, she would have fed the wolf earlier." ”

Seeing that he was not happy, Shoko followed him. After walking a short distance, I saw Zhao Xiaotian squatting on the ground, fiddling with two dead wolves with soft bodies.

Xiangzi, only then did I understand what Zhao Xiaotian said just now.

Hurriedly came up and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, big brother, I blamed you just now, I thought you shot to scare people." ”

Zhao Xiaotian muttered with a face full of grievances: "Do you think that bandits are all crazy wolves, and they will go on when they see women?" Although I have not touched a woman for two or three years, I have never harmed a woman. ”

Xiangzi hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "It's me who is wrong, I want to think about it too much, so don't be angry with your brother again." ”

As he spoke, he hugged Zhao Xiaotian's shoulders and shook it, looking coquettish.

Zhao Xiaotian couldn't help but smile and said, "That little girl, she looks really good, I just look at the people a few more times." ”

As he spoke, he squeezed out a smile full of self-beauty.

Xiangzi smiled mysteriously at him and whispered: I'll inquire and see if anyone has a master. If you don't have a master, you can give me a sister-in-law. ”

Zhao Xiaotian listened, patted Xiangzi's shoulder in his heart, and didn't say anything more.

Shoko looked through the dead wolf and saw two bullets, both of which were right in the head. He praised with a "tsk" in his mouth: "Big brother is really good marksmanship, good courage, and he is really not afraid of wolves." ”

Zhao Xiaotian glanced at him obliquely, and said casually: "Okay, okay." These two times, in your hands, are nothing. Don't think that the wolves here are not afraid of people at all. ”

Xiangzi said thoughtfully: "There are few people here, and there are no hunters to fight wolves, so wolves are not afraid of people." If everyone moves over, I'm afraid the wolf won't be so bold. ”

After a pause, Shoko muttered again, "What are you going to do with the two of them?" ”

Zhao Xiaotian looked excited, and said, "Pick up the skin, just get a leather mattress." Pull out the wolf's teeth, tie a pendant, and hear that thing ward off evil spirits. ”

Xiangzi whispered with a melancholy face: "Forget it, let's find a place to bury it." ”

Zhao Xiaotian looked at Xiangzi with a confused face and said, "That's a pity?" I finally came across two skins without bullet holes. Although it is autumn skin, you can see that the hair is very thick. ”

As he spoke, he stroked the hair from the dead wolf's body with his hand.

Xiangzi sighed lightly, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Wolves are humane animals, you can't easily grudge with them, you have to get along with them." ”

Zhao Xiaotian, with a look of indifference, muttered, "I'm afraid of it!" We have guys in our hands, and we can get as much as we want, and we can save money on meat. ”

Shoko glanced at him meaningfully, and said in as calm a voice as possible, "I'll tell you a story about me and the wolf first." ”

So, he walked from Dihua to Fuyuan, and met a she-wolf with a leg injury on the mountain road to give birth. Later, he was surrounded by a group of wolves under the tree and died, and it was the she-wolf who gave birth to him who saved him. Hearing this, Zhao Xiaotian opened his mouth half-open, and he didn't come to his senses for a long time.

After being silent for a while, he muttered with remorse: "It's true, if I knew it, I would have fired two shots, just scare and scare." ”

Xiangzi sighed, patted Zhao Xiaotian's shoulder lightly, smiled sadly, and said, "It's already like this, don't think about it." Tell your brothers in the future not to hurt them easily. ”

So saying, he picked up a wolf and walked towards the dirt slope in front of him.

Zhao Xiaotian hurriedly carried another wolf and silently followed behind him.

Shoko cut through the soft sand with her hands and placed the two wolves neatly at the bottom of the pit. Then, with his hands folded, he recited the words and took three refuges to them, and recited the holy name of Amitabha Buddha for a while. Only then did he put the dry sand and soil on the wolf's body. Then, he bowed deeply three times to the wolf's grave. Only then did they realize that Tie Dan and the woman, for some reason, had stood silently behind them.

Shoko's actions made them feel a little shocked and puzzled. After being silent for a while, Wang Xueming smiled hesitantly and said, "Assistant Guo, why do you return the wolf like this." ”

Xiangzi smiled gently at him and said, "Buddhism is exquisite, and all beings are equal. Although the wolf is an animal, it has the same Buddha nature as us.

As long as the fate is ripe, it will be like us, and it can be reborn on the path of goodness, and even ascend to heaven to become a Buddha. Therefore, we should have equal respect for them. ”

Everyone was also confused when they heard it.

Xiangzi saw a few pairs of eyes, still staring at himself blankly.

He smiled modestly and said, "The truth in this is very deep, and I will explain it to you carefully when I have the opportunity." ”

At this time, the woman who had been standing behind Wang Xueming muttered angrily: "The two of them bit my two sheep to death, and they bite me in turn." ”

Shoko smiled gently at her and said, "Are people hungry?" ”

The woman hung her head and muttered words that only she understood.

At this time, Wang Xueming took a step forward and introduced to Xiangzi and Zhao Xiaotian: "This is my brother-in-law's family, called Xu Chunhua." Since two years ago, my brother-in-law died of illness, and Chunhua pulled a doll, which was really unbearable. If it weren't for Zhao Dangjia's rescue today, I don't know what would have happened. Chunhua, don't come to give a salute to your benefactor yet. ”

Seeing this, Chunhua hurriedly came over timidly and bowed deeply to Zhao Xiaotian.

Zhao Xiaotian smiled "haha", waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, will they be neighbors in the future, you don't have to see each other." ”

Wang Xueming pondered for a moment, turned around and said to Chunhua: "The sheep bitten by the wolf have all bled blood, come and get it back, and let the stones help pick it up and cook it." We'll have dinner at your house at noon, and then let your sister make some cakes. ”

After a pause, he said, "Ride my horse." ”

Zhao Xiaotian heard this, and hurriedly said, "Let's use my horse." ”

So saying, he led the horse and followed the woman.

Zhao Xiaotian tied the retreats of the two sheep together, put them behind the saddle, and then looked at Chunhua and said, "Do you know how to ride a horse?" ”

Chunhua smiled at him and said, "Yes." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and took the reins.

Zhao Xiaotian was busy righting the stirrup and took advantage of the situation to help Chunhua's waist.

Chunhua didn't say anything, just left, leaving Zhao Xiaotian with a shy look.
