XXXVIII. Burial in the Deep Valley (D)
With this fire, He Shan seemed to finally feel the warmth, the trembling of his limbs gradually subsided, and his body stretched a little, but his skin was still a little hot. Xiang You'er was sitting by the fire at this time, looking at He Shan's beautiful face under the light of the fire, and suddenly felt flushed again, and a certain desire in his body suddenly surged, He Shan's figure lying on his side became bright and abnormal in his eyes at this time, he spewed rough air in his nose, and suddenly stretched out his right hand, and the frizzy ripped to the torn clothes on He Shan's shoulder.
Halfway through his hand, Xiang You'er's stomach suddenly gurgled for a while, and then the feeling of hunger came. He hadn't eaten since yesterday, and he had consumed too much this day, so it was reasonable for him to feel empty at the moment. It was this interruption that the evil thoughts in Xiang Youer's heart suddenly disappeared, he turned his hand, touched his stomach, and suddenly slapped himself hard, muttering to himself, like a defeated rooster.
In fact, Xiang Youer grew up in the market since he was a child, and the love between men and women that he has heard and seen is mostly vulgar, but when he tasted it by himself at this time, he felt that this feeling was complicated and abnormal, neither as reckless and simple as the country man, nor as hypocritical as in the play. is temperamental, but in his heart, he will think of the other party in his heart, so he hesitates, restrains and longsies, and tortures a self-styled man like Xiang Youer to the point that there is no basis for retreat.
Of course, Xiang You'er couldn't think of so much, at this time he restrained the desire in his heart, turned his head to look at He Shan, his eyes were no longer as hot as Fang Cai, he knew that he was hungry at the moment, and He Shan must be the same. He had just checked the appearance of He Shanxiang, and although he was extremely weak, the poison was not serious, so it was the best strategy to find food at this moment. Then he looked around, found some stones to hide at the entrance of the cave, took a knife, and went out of the cave to forage for food.
As soon as Fang came out of the cave, Xiang You'er couldn't help but take a long breath, although Fang Cai's cave was warm and charming, but for Xiang You'er, he felt extremely uncomfortable, he didn't have to face He Shan at the moment, he seemed to be much more relaxed. Thinking like this, he took a few steps with his knife, and suddenly a wolf howl came from afar, and then the sound of a big beast sneaking in the forest came from the forest, and the forest was already dark, and the birds were crying at this time, and for a time the great forest was extremely gloomy. Xiang You'er was startled when she heard this, and immediately reflexively hid behind the tree, listening carefully, but she heard that the direction in which those wolves gathered should be the direction that they came from along the stream, and if they can attract the wolves to gather, they should be dealing with large beasts!
Xiang You'er suddenly thought of something at this time, and couldn't help but feel thunder in her heart!
Look in that direction, that's where you come from, isn't it......
Is it difficult to burn the lamp and the bald donkey?
Thinking of this, Xiang Youer had mixed feelings in his heart, he just left the burning lamp, not because he hated the burning lamp, but because he had carefully planted the concept of family and country. He has heard a lot of loyal heroes since he was a child, and he has firmly established the concept that non-my race must have different hearts, but this time, he encountered a lot of soldiers of various ethnic groups in the army, such as Huanggu, Youyan, Qian, Di, Qiang, etc., most of which are undoubtedly civilians, and they are all yellow faces, which greatly reduces his previous antagonism. This encounter burned the lamp, and don't say that the same enemy in the Shenwu Temple, is in the deep valley today, but also quite burned the lamp to help, and he later abandoned the burning lamp and left, in fact, along the way the heart has been secretly regretful, at this time heard the wolf howl in the mountain, suddenly the heart of the unbearable thoughts. At that moment, Xiang You'er pinned the Youfu to his waist, picked up a thick stick with his hand, and the fire in the sky was through, and it was immediately lit into a torch, and then sneaked forward.
He didn't need to carry Heshan on his back this time, his feet were naturally much lighter, and he was anxious in his heart, and the road that he had walked for two hours in the morning had now reached it after walking for more than half an hour. Although he was hungry and dizzy in his eyes, he was so determined that he had a strong will to burn the lamp, and when he sneaked to the place where he had first fallen, he could already see five or six coyotes patrolling around a tree, as if they had locked on to their prey, but they did not know the depth, and did not dare to rush forward.
Xiang You'er looked at it, a boulder in his heart had just fallen, and he saw that the burning lamp was still sitting against the tree at this time, although his limbs were no longer usable, but his body was full of solemnity, just like the Buddha lowering his eyes to preach under the Bodhi tree, and naturally there was a kind of powerful feeling that the evil demons should not approach. At this time, in order not to startle the snake, he had already extinguished the torch in his hand, hid behind a tree, and carefully observed the situation.
The group of coyotes may have been taken by this solemn law, and they didn't dare to step forward to bite it, Xiang You'er's heart was slightly relieved, and he was going to plan and plan, but he saw that the head of the burning lamp was tilted at this time, and the whole person seemed to be unable to support it, and with a tilt of his head, his body fell down along the trunk. Seeing this, the wolves took a few steps back, but when they saw the burning lamp, they were lifeless, and suddenly let out a long howl, arched their bodies, and were about to pounce and bite them.
It was too late, but it was too soon, and suddenly there was a flash of fire, and several sections of burning dead wood smashed into the wolves like meteorites. The wolves are naturally afraid of fire, and this flame came suddenly, and immediately frightened several wolves to retreat and dodge. After the commotion, the wolves followed the light of the fire on the ground and looked into the field, but they saw a young man in tattered clothes, standing in front of the burning lamp with a thick wooden stick that was pitch black.
Seeing that this young man was weak, how could the wolves let go of this delicious food, only to see the head wolf roar, and five or six wolves divided into joint attacks, surrounding Xiang Youer from several directions, and the wolf body was like radio lightning, attacking Xiang Youer's neck, shoulders, legs, arms and other places at the same time.
But at this time, the tip of the thick wooden stick in Xiang Youer's hand suddenly burst into flames, Xiang Youer swept the burning wooden stick round, but heard a few "fluffy" sounds, and then heard a "woo" wail, a wolf was swept on the head by a torch, and suddenly the bones were cracked and blood surged, and the other wolf was hit in the abdomen by the torch, and the fur was suddenly burned and flew out.
The wolves were frightened by this, and they suddenly didn't dare to step forward, they all salivated at the corners of their mouths, their eyes showed fierce light, and they roared in a low voice around Xiang You'er, with extremely vicious expressions. Xiang Youer had experienced the Colosseum before, but at that time, the arena was a dignified altar, and he also had comrades who fought side by side, but at this time, this dark forest was full of dangers, and he and the burning lamp were seriously injured, so it seemed that it was only appropriate to fight quickly......
Just thinking about this, Xiang You'er's consciousness suddenly flashed, only to feel that the murderous aura behind him was awe-inspiring, he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, he shrank his shoulders and shrunk his back, and his other hand pulled out the secluded mansion on his waist and slashed back. At this time, he had already broken through the "Tiruo" soul barrier, and the innate reaction of his soul power was also extremely fast, but he still felt a sharp pain in his vest, and he had already been scratched by a coyote that sneaked up from behind. But the wolf didn't get any benefits, and everywhere in the secluded mansion, the wolf's right front paw had been cut off at the knee.
Xiang You'er was suddenly attacked, his heart was furious, and his innate firepower skyrocketed for a while, he didn't care about it at this time, he roared wildly, and took the dead wooden stick in both hands, with this anger, the innate fire was everywhere, and the two wooden sticks instantly burned into a fire sword. Xiang You'er didn't care about the scorching heat, and the fire sword started and rushed towards the wolves.
Where have the wolves seen such a burning man, the ruthlessness in their eyes was suddenly burned by the firelight that only left fear, only to hear the wolf howl, clamped his tail, and was about to flee, but Xiang Youer did not relent, and the fire sword was connected, and the two wolves who had no time to escape were swept down. One of them is also smart, in a hurry, he jumped into the stream with a plop, and Xiang Youer's fire sword was afraid of water, so he couldn't chase it anymore.
Xiang You'er saw that the wolves had left, so he immediately walked in front of the coyote who had no time to escape, pulled out the secluded mansion, and didn't care about the wolf's "howling" and screaming, so he waited to be cut down with a knife.
But at this time, a dying voice suddenly sounded behind him, but it turned out to be the burning lamp that was close to running out of oil, but he heard him say: "Xiang Shaoxia is slow, at this time, the old man's life is not hindered, Xiang Shaoxia must not add sin to his body." ”
Xiang You'er turned his head, glanced at the burning lamp lying on the ground, closed his eyes, and said, "When the wolf is hungry, it will eat people, and when people are hungry, they will eat wolves." If the Buddha is as attached to sinful karma as you are, where else can he find the right results to fill his stomach? As he spoke, the wolf had already separated its head and body. Xiang You'er leaned down and dragged it, only to feel that it was still heavy, and after a little thought, he raised the knife in his hand, dismantled the wolf into eight pieces, tied one of the wolf legs to his body, and turned around to support the burning lamp.
Here, the burning lamp only got a reply from Xiang You'er, although his mind was not clear, but he seemed to have realized something in an instant, and he couldn't help but be stunned. He knew that Xiang You'er was a vulgar person who would regard the "positive fruit" as the fruit of Buddhism, but he never felt that the people of Xia Riba had no relationship with the Buddha. Just now, he heard Xiang Youer's reflection on "equality of all beings" and "obedience and perseverance" implied in his words, but he had never thought of it, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
Xiang You'er couldn't think of so much, but after he slaughtered the wolf, he walked to the burning lamp, didn't talk to the burning lamp, leaned over and put the burning lamp on his back, dragged the knife and walked back. He had been injured a lot on this day, and coupled with physical exertion, he didn't want to talk more about burning the lamp, but he didn't want to burn the lamp after seeing him kill the wolf, so he was silent, and he didn't know whether he was silent or completely dizzy.
Xiang You'er couldn't care about this at this time, he thought that a wolf leg should be enough for several people to eat, for now, it was to patrol the mark left by himself and walk to the cave early, so that the old monk and himself could rest. But he didn't know what he was deep in, but he was worried that he would come out for a long time, and if something would happen to He Shan who stayed in the cave.
Prompted by this thought, he walked very fast on the way back, and he did not set foot on the road steadily, and he fell a few times, and finally walked to the extreme half a mile away from the cave, but suddenly heard everything around him, as if a beast was following. Xiang You'er stopped at the moment, shone the torch in his hand around, only to see a few points of green light illuminated by the firelight, and suddenly fled far away. Xiang You'er felt bad, and listened attentively at the moment, but suddenly heard the low howl of wolves faintly coming from the direction of the cave. It turned out that the wild wolf in the mountains was the most vindictive, and Xiang Youer's act of killing the wolf had undoubtedly aroused the anger of the wolves. They are the most sensitive to smell, so they sought Xiang Youer's scent and ran backwards to the cave, wanting to kill Xiang Youer's companion. In this north, there is often a legend that the wolf god will come to eat the hearts of the hunters' families and children, and it is probably spread here.
Xiang You'er heard the wolf howl this time, and couldn't help but feel a huge shock in his heart, he just went to the rescue of the burning lamp with remorse for the burning lamp, but if he let He Shan be eaten by the wolves because of his single-mindedness, he would always feel guilty in his heart, and he no longer cared about the dark road mud at the moment, Xiang Youer carried the burning lamp on his back, and spread his body in the forest and ran forward.
