POV4 Twilight 05
At this moment, amid the ridicule of the armored women, the big bear was loading the projectile towards the mouth of the gun, and he thought that his shell medicine was now ready......
"That's not right! We've been fooled!! Come and see! At noon, the shouts of old Marfa came from the Toad River, and Dusk Yu and the others ran to hear the sound and found that Old Marfa was squatting in the snow studying the two strings of man-bear footprints on the ground.
"Look, there's something strange in these two footprints!" Old Marfa said with a frown.
"This series of footprints from the mountain is slightly larger than the footprints back to the mountain, and the footprints from the back to the mountain seem to be missing half a little toe from the soles of the feet......"
"Sure enough!" After taking a closer look, Twilight couldn't help but gasp! Could it be that there was not only one man-bear that attacked Vehda last night?
Twilight followed the footprints and found another strange place.
"Marfa, look here!"
There are several obvious scratches on the trunk of the birch tree where the big footprint and the small footprint meet, and the scratches spread on the trunk of the adjacent birch tree, all the way into the depths of this forest......
Old Marfa rubbed the scratches on the trunk of the tree, closed her eyes and began to meditate.
"Is this man-bear really so cunning?" After a long time, Old Marfa suddenly exclaimed.
"I heard my Marfa say that same-sex bears can't get along with each other, and the two sets of footprints, one large and one small, on the ground, think they are left by two human-bears, one male and one female. When he came out of the mountain, the male bear carried the female bear on his back, and when he arrived here......"
Marfa pointed to the scratched trunk.
"The male bear laid down the female bear, and hid in the forest along the birch tree by birch.
Let the mother bear kill people, kidnap Wehda and then flee back to the mountains, leading the strong men to chase after him. This male, at this moment, must be hiding somewhere outside the tunluo, secretly watching our every move......"
A breeze blows up the messy snow, a few wisps of smoke rise from the tunluo not far away, the early winter sun warmly covers the earth, and the dappled sunlight shines faintly in the depths of the birch forest through the branches of the trees that still have a few yellow leaves......
A chill rose from Twilight's back, and she subconsciously clenched the horned bow in her hand.
"Don't be afraid, people and bears are used to walking at night, from now until it gets dark, there are still three hours, send two Aha to ride fast horses to Shumulu to move troops, now in addition to Aha in the tunzi, there is no man who can pull a bow and wear armor, as long as twenty or thirty men who can gallop horses and wear armor are moved from Shumulu, people and bears will not dare to act rashly, this kung fu, don't care about any facelessness......"
There are few long-lived people among the Su Ya people, and Lao Marfa is 65 years old this year, and he is the oldest old man in the Zhanghu Pagoda Department.
The last time the Wild Crane City met the alliance, Zhang Hutabu appeared a day late, and the plan to directly participate in the wedding was also decided by Ama after discussing with Lao Mafa.
According to the recent news that has come one after another, the Zhanghu Pagoda Department was the only group of people around Wild Crane City who retreated that night...... The men in the tribe all believe that the wisdom of Lao Marfa for more than 60 years is a treasure of our Zhanghu Tower, which is worth 30 armored soldiers!
"Don't tell the women and children in the tunluo what we find, so as not to mess up, if we want to find an elderly and reliable Aha to move troops, let the Seth Black and Lao Jin of the Qinghua family go!" Marfa whispered to Twilight Rain again.
After the two old Aha of the Qinghua family quietly received the order, they rode fast horses and galloped away in the direction of Shumulu. If all goes well, the Iron Rider of Shumulu should be able to appear in Twilight's field of vision before dark.
Twilight Yu set up a large iron pot in the courtyard with a few of his own Ahas, and personally slaughtered a fat pig, preparing to entertain the Shumulu cavalry who came to help, but unfortunately the sauerkraut has not been marinated at this time, so the pork can only be stewed with potatoes......
"You come with me!" Watching a lump of pork toss up and down in the iron pot, Twilight gently tugged on the bear's arm, lifted the bow and arrows and walked out of the house. Aha didn't ask too much, and followed closely behind Twilight with a large three-eyed gun.
The two climbed the lookout wooden pagoda at the gate of Tunluo Village. Twilight stood there without saying a word, watching the sun rub little by little against the undulating snow line on the top of the mountain in the distance. The light gradually darkened, and a line of late-moving snow geese chirped and flew across the sky, setting a herringbone silhouette for the blood-red sunset......
The empty mountain forest had already fallen one step ahead of the darkness, and a gentle sound of horses' hooves came at this time.
"It's coming! Reinforcements from the Shumulu Department are coming! But just as the boulder hanging over Twilight's heart was about to hit the ground, she noticed something strange again.
"The sound of horses' hooves is not right!" Growing up on horseback, the Sutar people are very familiar with everything related to horses. After listening carefully, Duyu found that judging from the sound of horses' hooves, it was not the cavalry team on the march that came slowly, but the uncontrolled scattered cavalry of Liao Liao......
Sure enough, two well-saddled horses appeared on the path in front of Tunluo, and by the afterglow, it could be vaguely identified as the fast horses that the two Aha rode when they went to Shumulu to ask for help......
"Why are only the horses back? What about the riders? Twilight jumped off the watchtower, and the moment she landed, she knew the rider's fate, and at the same time her stomach churned, and her feet went limp, and she sat down in the snow.
She wanted to scream hysterically, to roll in the snow, to get into Amma's arms and cry. However, it seems that none of this can share her despair and fear at the moment......
A pair of hands wrapped around her from behind and gently lifted her up from the snow. She buried her head in the arms of the person who came and sobbed silently, she knew that this heavy embrace came from her own Ahha.
The bear patted her on the back, picked her up by the waist, and returned to the gate.
"It's okay, I'm here!" He placed Twilight with his back against the wall, and whispered in her ear, the warm breath blowing away the snow on her sideburns. Then he turned around and walked out of the gate. Twilight closed her eyes, and there were two sounds of "tearing" and "tearing" in her ears, and she slowly let out a sigh of relief—the bear had already ripped off the two human faces that were glued to the horse's head one by one......
Twilight is picked up by the bear again.
"Everyone, assemble in the Tun Council Hall and bring weapons! All of them! ”
The loud voice of the big bear echoed in the tunluo, and the last touch of the setting sun stained the flowing clouds in the sky with a layer of blood...... His long silhouette had a thick protrusion that came from a large three-eyed bulge that was stuck diagonally behind him.
