The two rested for a moment, and decided to travel overnight to make up for the lost time. But after finding a mess, he had deviated from the hunting trail and was on the side of an unknown hill, unable to distinguish between the east and the west.

Fortunately, Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan stood in the open space out of the forest, and found the west according to the location of the North Star, no matter what, it was useless to go west.

In the gloom of the dim snow, the two stumbled westward. The night was a difficult night, knee-deep in snow and thorny bushes covered in the snow. The most worrying thing is the dangerous crevices of the rocks covered under the snow, and sometimes people who accidentally step on them will fall into the deep snow cave in an instant, and even break bones and legs. Fortunately, Wang Yuan knew how to tie a rope around the waist of the two of them and walk together for a few feet, and every time one person slipped down, the other person would immediately tighten the rope and save the other party from danger.

In this way, they walked forward in the faint light, there was no path, they climbed over one hill after another, passed through one small valley after another, and when the morning dawn gradually dawned, the two of them exhaled white air and climbed to the top of a hill, and the scene in front of them made the two of them happy.

Ahead, several tall mountain peaks lie in front of you, and in the cold morning light, the mountains appear quiet and solemn, tall and majestic. Needless to say, this is the Xida Mountain, which has always been out of reach, the peak of the junction between Yunzhou and Yanzhou. Climbing between the trees just now, they didn't see that the mountain was close at hand, and the mood of the two was also extremely depressed by the hard trek of this night, but now seeing this mountain, the mood of the two suddenly brightened, and the hard work of this night was too worthwhile.

The morning sun rises, and the surrounding area is full of golden light, and the peaks and valleys opposite appear more and more tall and majestic. As soon as the excitement passed, the two realized what a big challenge lay ahead. Because I don't know where the mountain road is, it is impossible to climb such a mountain directly. Maybe it takes ten days and half a month to get over the past. But time does not allow it.

When resting on the top of the mountain to eat dry food and drink water, the two quickly discussed the countermeasures, the current situation can only go to the bottom of the Xida Mountain to find a way up the mountain, generally speaking, there will be hunters living under such a mountain, maybe you can find someone to ask for directions.

After resting for a while to regain some strength, the two immediately descended the hill and went straight to the foot of the mountain. An hour later, the two arrived at the side of the mountain. The woods on the side of the mountain are dense, silent all around, the snow is vast, and there is no trace of anyone at all. I walked around the side of the mountain for several miles, not to mention people's houses, and I didn't even see a ghost.

Both of them were disappointed and dejected, but they did not dare to relax and continued to search on the side of the mountain. Suddenly, Gongsun Lan, who was walking in the snow in front of him, screamed, and Wang Yuan, who was tilting his head and walking hard behind, was startled, and hurriedly rushed over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Look." Gongsun Lan pointed to the snow in front of her.

There were several rows of footprints on the snow stretching all the way into the mountains and forests, looking very messy, but it was obvious that they had not been stepped on for a long time, because the snow in the footprints had not formed an ice shell, which was the basic method of judging the tracks that Wang Yuan knew.

"These are the hoof prints of wild boars, and lo and behold, two wild boars are going up the hill. Behind them are the footprints of three people, two large and one small, who look like they are following the wild boar into the forest on the hillside. Cousin, this is a good sign, this is clearly the footprints left by several hunters who went into the mountains to hunt, and they were left not so long ago. Great, just great. Wang Yuan smiled and shouted excitedly.

Gongsun Lan was also very happy, and looked at Wang Yuan with a smile and said, "The hunters must know the way into the mountain, and if they find them, they can ask about the road through this mountain." ”

"Right!" Wang Yuan smiled and hugged Gongsun Lan, kissed her on the lips and said, "It's still my cousin's eyes are sharp, I look at a white snowfield, and my eyes are blind." ”

Gongsun Lan punched Wang Yuan and said, "Then don't you go to track them down?" What are you doing here? ”

The two of them immediately followed the footprints into the forest by the mountain, and the traces of the man and beast extended all the way into the woods, and when they entered the forest, the tracks were not easy to distinguish, and it was not easy to see the footprints on the thick pine needles and the yellow and rotten leaves. Wang Yuan could only rely on some broken branches and mud marks on the trunk to follow them straight into the mountains and forests, but soon after, they lost their goal.

Wang Yuan was extremely depressed, sitting on a fallen tree trunk and sighing lamentingly, Gongsun Lan comforted him in a low voice beside him, encouraging him not to give up. Suddenly, there was some strange sound from above the hillside, which seemed to be a whistle and a shout. The two of them hurriedly stood up, listened to the sound getting closer, and hid behind the pine trees to watch. But above the hillside, the sound of rustling was very violent, mixed with howling. A moment later, two black, fanged boars howled and rushed from above. In the woods behind them, there were people shouting and shouting, and the sound of footsteps was clearly audible.

The two wild boars didn't know that Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan were hiding behind the trees, and rushed straight over, like two small tanks, crashing through the rotten trees in the forest, and splashing the rotten leaves and branches with their hooves. As soon as the two of them wanted to appear, they saw a shuttle dart flying out of the forest from behind, hitting the butt of a wild boar. The boar hissed loudly, rolled on the ground and got up, as three figures in the forest behind him quickly approached.

The three men wore robes made of animal skins, and one of them was a tall old man with a thick beard and unkempt hair, which was tied around his forehead with a cloth band. The other two, one was a stout young man, and the other turned out to be a young girl dressed in animal skin. The young man's hand was empty, and the old man and the girl both held the pike in their hands, and it was evident that the pike had been thrown by the young man.

Then I saw the wounded boar get up from the ground, with a long shuttle dart tied to his buttocks, and his hind legs were already weak, and he wanted to run but could not stand. The other boar actually stopped and howled anxiously. Suddenly, as if realizing that there was no escape, the wounded boar screamed and rushed towards the three hunters who were running. Another boar also rushed over like an armored car.

Wang Yuan was dumbfounded, only to hear that wild boars are not afraid of people, they will attack people when they are ruthless, and they can knock people to death, and use their fangs to open people's intestines. But this is the first time I have seen this scene with my own eyes.

Obviously, the three hunters didn't expect these two big wild boars to be so fierce. The old man shouted, and threw the shuttle dart in his hand at the wild boar that rushed to his buttocks injured, two feet away, the accuracy and strength were amazing, the shuttle dart went straight into the eyes of the wild boar, and the wild boar howled and fell to the ground, and the four hooves trembled, and it seemed that it could not survive.

The other boar rushed at the girl, and the girl also learned the old man's coquettish voice and threw the shuttle dart in her hand. However, an incredible scene happened, the boar did not know whether it was intentional or coincidental, he swung his head slightly, and the fangs blocked the shuttle dart impartially, and with a 'click' sound, the fangs were broken, but the shuttle did not give the boar any actual damage.

The boar howled madly and rushed at the girl, who was so frightened that she stood there in a daze. The young man and the old man shouted in unison, "Nier, get out of the way." "Where did the girl react.

The young man pounced on the back of the wild boar from the oblique thorn, the wild boar rushed very fast, the young man's body threw himself into the air and fell on the ground of the larch needles, and when he reached out to scratch the wild boar, he only caught a piece of the pig's tail in his hand, and the thing couldn't catch it at all, and instantly took off his hand with a sting, and only held a hard pig. Hair.

Seeing that a tragedy was about to happen, let alone being stabbed by the remaining fangs of the wild boar, even if it hit the girl directly, the force would seriously injure the girl. This wild boar is four or five feet long, and its size is huge, and its impact must be amazing, and people will never be able to stand its ferocity. Percussive.

The old man had begun to scream in despair, but there was nothing he could do. Just as the boar was about to hit the girl, a figure flashed behind the tree beside the girl, and a man flew out of the spur and threw the girl aside. The boar howled and rushed past where the maiden had stood, smashing its head through an arm-thick pine tree and howling bitterly.

In a flash of silver light, something flew out from behind another tree, right in the heart above the boar's front legs, and the boar howled several times, staggering to the ground, and blood gushed out.

The old man and the young man watched all this in a daze, and only then did they see that a short sword was pierced into the boar's heart, and on the ground next to it, a man was crushing the girl under him, wrapping his body in a cloak for protection.

Gongsun Lan slowly walked out from behind the tree, walked past the stunned hunter, reached out and pulled out the short sword from the wild boar, and wiped it clean on the fallen leaves.

"Hey, get up, what are you doing all the time holding other girls?" Gongsun Lan stretched out her foot and kicked Wang Yuan's buttocks, who was lying on the girl's body to protect her, and her tone was a little angry.

Wang Yuan lifted his cloak and showed his head, and saw that the wild boar that fell to the ground was dead, so he hurriedly got up and laughed: "Cousin is so powerful, he will be killed with a sword." ”

Only then did the old man and the young man react, and hurriedly ran forward to pick up the girl on the ground, patted the fallen leaves and dirt on her body, and asked if she was injured. The girl's face was a little red, when she was knocked down by Wang Yuan just now, Wang Yuan's whole body pressed against her, and she buried her head in her chest and wrapped her head and face with a cloak, which was really embarrassing.

"Thank you to the two fathers for helping and saving the little woman's life, and the old man is grateful." After the old man found out that the girl was fine, he hurriedly came to Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan to salute and thank him.

Wang Yuan waved his hand and said: "It's a matter of raising your hands, it's good that you don't get hurt, these two beasts are so fierce, it's the first time I've seen them." ”

The old man nodded and said, "We have been tracking these two wild boars for more than two years, and every time they escaped, they are almost fine." The garden of my valley has been so badly plagued by them that all the things in the field have been turned upside down. No, since this winter, the three of us have decided to get rid of them. I didn't expect that there was almost a mistake, if it weren't for the help of the two benefactors, the little girl was afraid that she would lose her life. Shaniel, why don't you come to thank the two of you? ”
