Chapter 65 The slave looks at the west in Lingzhou and waits for the king to return and complain about his thoughts (3)
The facts were unexpected, and it also made Wu Sheng's capital feel hot on his face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He didn't know why the wild wolf appeared, it was broad daylight at the moment, and it didn't make sense for the wild wolf to appear. However, things in the world do not necessarily need to be immutable, and perhaps these wild wolves that appeared not far away were just hungry.
Wu Sheng looked left and right, looking for the best retreat route, he didn't have the idea of fighting for this Uighur girl, and he didn't think that the girl, who was at most thirteen or fourteen years old, would have the intention of co-living and dying with the sheep. In the process of watching, he probably understood why they had encountered wild wolves.
The pastures are not large, there are many grazing people, and the places where the water and grass are abundant are occupied by others, and the Uighur girls, who are alone and emaciated, obviously do not have the capital to compete with others for good territory, and now that it is late autumn, there is not much pasture, so they can only go more remotely.
Just when Wu Sheng was about to move the injured leg and turn around, the scene in front of him made him stunned. There were five or six wild wolves that sprang out of the woods, grinning condescendingly, looking down at the sheep, and they were already in a posture that would pounce at any moment, and the little Uighur woman had run down the gentle slope at some point, and one man and two dogs, both hunched over and confronted the wolves, and a threatening roar came out of their throats.
Just when Wu Sheng was stunned by the accident, the wild wolf had already rushed down, and almost at the same time, one man and two dogs rushed out head-on, and both sides did not hesitate at all, and the whip in the little woman's hand waved in the air with a hunting sound.
The two hounds, with their muscles showing off as they ran, pounced on a wild wolf before the little woman, and began to scratch and bite as they roared. In an instant, the little Uighur woman also rushed to the battlefield, and the whip in her hand was quickly lifted, dropped, waved, and crackled, forcing the wild wolf in front of her to retreat, and when she could collect the whip, the wild wolf pounced again, and the whip waved again, and the wild wolf retreated, and so on.
Wu Sheng looked at this scene in a daze, and forgot to move his steps. The wild wolves had the advantage in numbers, and they bared their teeth one by one, whether it was the fierce light in their eyes or the sharp fangs, they were all shocking. Wu Sheng has been trained in blood and fire on the battlefield, and he has survived again and again, so he will naturally not be afraid of wild wolves. But being besieged by several wild wolves in the wilderness, even the bravest armor soldier in the army would be extremely jealous, let alone a thirteen or fourteen-year-old woman?
Wu Sheng couldn't understand for a while, why made the other party so decisive and desperate to face the wild wolf, in his eyes, one person and two dogs facing a group of wild wolves is undoubtedly an act of seeking death, even if the shepherd's hunting dog has always been known for its loyalty and bravery, and can fight with wild wolves.
"Damn it!" Wu Sheng has no feelings for the Uighur girl, and he will not feel guilty about abandoning his companion when he turns around and leaves at this time, but he does not do this, he wants to live in this strange place, and has a plan, he must save this woman now, otherwise once the other party has an accident, he will become someone else's slave, in all fairness, there is no danger in following this girl.
By the time she dragged her lame leg and limped to the Uighur girl, she was already sweating profusely, and the fierce confrontation required physical support.
As a brave soldier in the army, Wu Sheng has his way of fighting, even if he has no blade in his hand, even if he has no armor on his body, he can still turn into a killing machine in the blink of an eye. When a wild wolf found a gap and pounced on the little Uighur girl, Wu Sheng sprang out of the oblique thorn and knocked the wolf into the air.
When he landed, Wu Sheng grabbed the wolf's neck with both hands and bit the wolf's neck with one bite. A man and a wolf rolled back and forth on the ground, and the wolf's claws kept grabbing Wu Sheng's back.
When Wu Sheng bowed down and stood up, the wild wolf on the ground had already become a dead wolf, his neck was in a mess, and blood was gushing like a spring. By this time, the little Uighur woman had been pounced on by a wild wolf and was desperately struggling to keep it from biting her. Wu Sheng didn't say a word, stepped over in two steps, kicked the wolf's belly, the wild wolf screamed, he was kicked out a few feet away, and he tried several times before standing up again, but he was no longer powerless to attack Wu Sheng.
As a sharp soldier in the army, if you don't shoot, it will be a heavy blow, and if you don't kill the enemy, you will also hit the enemy hard, how can there be a reason for the other party to have the strength to fight again, there is armor protection in the battle array, and you may not be able to kill it with one blow, but in the face of the wild wolf that is not good for fighting, Wu Sheng's accurate judgment and ruthless shot will naturally show great power.
The Uighur little woman with shock and surprise in her eyes pulled up and dragged her behind her to protect her, at this time there was no time to think, and a wild wolf in front of her who was about to pounce bowed down and looked at each other, Wu Sheng's eyes were sharp, and the evil spirit of the battlefield warrior was not concealed, so that the head wolf did not dare to move for a while.
Between the confrontations, Wu Sheng's hand protecting the Uighur girl suddenly cooled, and there was an extra thing in his hand out of thin air, but when he looked at it, it was a simple black dagger, the blade was narrow and less than a foot long, there was no gauntlet except for a ring at the tail, and the only advantage was that the blade was sharpened.
Seeing this dagger, Wu Sheng's heart moved heavily.
Before the second thought could arise, the head wolf had already pounced, with the blade in his hand, although it was only a tattered dagger, but it was enough for Wu Sheng. The corners of his mouth hooked up a cruel color, and for a moment, he squatted down, waved his hand as the head wolf flew overhead, and the dagger slid between the head wolf's lower abdomen.
There was a scream from behind, but it was the Uighur girl who was struck down on her back by the wolf, who stared fiercely at the little face that was close at hand, and opened its mouth to reveal its hideous fangs, which made the girl's soul scatter. After waiting desperately for a long time with her eyes closed, but there was no pain, the girl opened her eyes in horror, but saw the head wolf lying on her body motionless.
At this time, the Uighur girl felt a warm sensation in her belly, and the little woman, who thought that her stomach had been scratched, pushed the wolf away and got up in shock, screaming and jumping wildly on the ground, but she could not find the wound on her body. Suddenly, I looked at the head wolf who was pushed away by himself, lying on the ground and dying, the wound in his abdomen was more than a foot long, the blood was flowing non-stop, and his internal organs had flowed out.
The Uighur girl, who had just fought bravely and fearlessly against the wild wolves, opened her mouth wide in surprise, her pupils glaring like brass bells in shock.
More than half of the wolves were killed and wounded, the first wolf was also killed, and the rest were all dispersed, the girl looked at Wu Sheng, who bowed with her back to her, and in addition to the surprise in her eyes, there was also a strong curiosity. However, no matter what she was thinking, this back was already seared in her mind.
The wolves were repelled, and the matter was far from over, and the wolf dogs were all injured, and the wounds under the bitten off fur were hideous, but it was a great luck that he did not die. It was a troublesome task to gather the frightened sheep, and it took all the rest of the day to get rid of one of the lambs, and the Uighur maiden kept it in her arms, and the snow-white sheep looked like a lazy cat.
When he returned to the tribe, Wu Sheng finally learned the name of the little Uighur woman, perhaps not a name, but just a transliterated title, Yueduo. Wu Sheng returned the dagger to Yue Duo, and with his current status, he was not suitable to keep this weapon of mass destruction. Yue Duo hesitated for a moment, but still took the dagger, Wu Sheng had no estrangement in his heart, although he saved the other party today.
However, the facts proved once again that Wu Sheng underestimated the innocence of this Uighur girl, and when the two of them sat outside the tent in the evening, eating today's simple food, Yueduo found a broken bow out of nowhere, and a few arrows, and handed it to Wu Sheng with a solemn expression, and the simple eyes were full of seriousness, as if completing a sacred ritual.
The bow is a small bow, the string has been a little loose, and I don't know how long it has not been used, and the arrows are bone arrows, and there are only four of them.
Receiving the familiar and unfamiliar bow and arrow, Wu Sheng's heart was full of thoughts, and his heart was surging. But he was soon relieved, the Uighur girl in front of him, is a guy who dares to fight with the wild wolf in order to protect the only sheep, in her simple little head, I am afraid that she will not know what is called thinking before and after, let alone what is called revenge, everything is based on likes and dislikes and intuition, probably is her code of conduct, in this paradise-like tribe, she may know the hardships and difficulties of life, but she obviously has little concept of people's hearts and deceit, Wu Sheng in her eyes, Perhaps it is a loyal and reliable servant who will share the honor and disgrace with her and never abandon her - today, after seeing that Wu Sheng has the ability to protect herself, and has the heart to protect herself, she has unloaded her already small number of defenses.
Stroking the cold bow and arrow, Wu Sheng stared at the slanting sun on the horizon and did not speak for a long time. The sunset on the grassland is even more colorful, in Wu Sheng's eyes, the sunset that has lost the foil of the mountains is undoubtedly a little lonely, and the temperament is far away and empty, which makes him overwhelmed.
That night, suddenly the wind and rain were blowing, and the small tent was crumbling, Wu Sheng had to run out with Yueduo, braving the rain to reinforce the tent, and the two of them shouted and ran back and forth in the wind and rain in a language that they could not understand each other.
Working together is not as difficult as verbal communication, and for people who are accustomed to work, ordinary affairs do not need to be difficult to communicate at all, simple gestures and demonstrations are enough to solve all difficulties. Of course, it was inevitable that the construction period would be delayed, and after being drenched in soup, the tent finally stopped leaking wind and rain, and at that time there was already a dawn in the eastern sky.
When leaning on the stake to breathe, his injured leg hurt for a while, Wu Sheng gritted his teeth and covered the wound, the exhaustion of his body and the confinement of wet clothes made his face extremely pale. Yue Duo squatted in front of Wu Sheng and gestured with her hands, her wet hair sticking to her face, making her look no different from a little beast.
Wu Sheng finally let go of the hand covering the wound and asked Yueduo to help him check the wound, to his surprise, the other party turned out to be a good hand at treating wounds, running in and out of the tent several times, and finally helped him deal with the wound. Seeing Yueduo showing a relieved smile of victory, sweat and rain intertwined, looking clean and simple, Wu Sheng had to turn his head to look at the other side.
Wu Sheng thought that the treatment and trust given to him by Yueduo was a rare exception, but the facts told him that Yueduo was not such a bizarre girl, at least not in this grassland.
There were twenty or thirty Shuofang captives in the tribe, and as the days passed, Wu Sheng found that most of them got along well with the Uighurs. The Uighurs barely did anything to them, and although they often yelled because of poor communication, the shouts gradually turned into laughing and patting on the shoulders as the captives became more familiar with the errand.
Wu Sheng knew that it was because no one was trying to escape.
In other words, those who want to escape will be enemies, and they will inevitably be treated cruelly, and those who cooperate and are friends will also have good treatment.
Wu Sheng found that he was gradually being regarded as his own by the Uighurs of the tribe.
He was a man of letters, and he was a lively and brilliant man, and soon attracted the attention of the tribal chiefs. The reason was that he found that Yueduo could not count, and the way to count the number of sheep was to tie a knot with a rope, and Wu Sheng, who was already able to communicate with Yueduo in the Uighur language, taught Yueduo to count.
Knowledgeable people can always be reused, and Wu Sheng soon became a popular man in front of the tribal leader, so he was well known by the tribe, so more and more people came to the door. It is true that the grassland people are cruel, but they are also simple, every time Wu Sheng helps someone, Yueduo can always get a good thanks.
Gradually, Yueduo doesn't have to be on the edge of the pasture to herd sheep, and she no longer has to live a hungry life, and she will be envied by people when she walks in the tribe and says that she has picked up a treasure, which makes her look at Wu Sheng with a smile every day, just like seeing gold.
Wu Sheng, whose life has improved and is less and less regarded as a slave, does not have half joy in his heart.
Because of his increasingly different status, he helped the Tang captives in the tribe, which also made their lives improve to varying degrees, so in the process of chatting with others, he noticed that some people felt that the current life was not bad, and began to be content with the status quo, no longer like before, and wanted to return to the east every day.
On this day, the tribal leader told Wu Sheng that he wanted to marry his daughter to him, so that Wu Sheng could truly become "his own family".
Wu Sheng felt that the situation was serious.
