Chapter 025: Fighting the White Wolf
It should be carefully observed for the sake of understanding; Efforts should be made to understand in order to act. Romain Rolland
For a moment, everything seemed to stand still. Only the bonfire beside him that had just boiled water was still crackling.
Li Baoqiang was stunned for two seconds, quickly picked up the sapper shovel, faced the white wolf, arched his left leg, and kicked the ground with his right foot. Nervous, he heard his own heartbeat, the kind of accelerated heartbeat.
Wolf, a white wolf.
Although he encountered wolves during his mission in the northwest, he had a gun in his hand at that time, and he and his comrades eliminated the three wolves besieging him with a few shots. But this time, except for the sapper shovel, there was no gun, although Li Baoqiang believed in his actual combat skills, but at that time the opponent was a human, compared to the vicious wolf, people were still easy to deal with.
At this time, the white wolf was also hesitating, and suddenly it spit out the gray rabbit in its mouth and took a step forward. The nature of the animal made it discover that the human in front of it did not seem to be polluted, and the meat was more delicious than the rabbit in its mouth. Yes, in fact, after many humans and animals are contaminated with nuclear dust for the first time, their genes have changed, and their physique is declining.
In the eyes of the white wolf, Li Baoqiang seems to be the piece of Tang monk meat, even if he duels with Li Baoqiang, he will be injured, he will fail and die, and the white wolf will not regret it. Poor Li Baoqiang didn't know that he had become the Tang monk meat that everyone thought of.
The white wolf walked towards him step by step and carefully, and its two narrow eyes, like two ghost fires, made the forest more eerie and terrifying, closer, closer, and the faint light of the fire reflected its face, its body, and its thick tail. It was only a few feet old, its fur was raised with excitement, its ears were shaking, and its open mouth seemed to be laughing wildly. It felt victorious, smelled blood.
The white wolf circled around Li Baoqiang a few times, and Li Baoqiang also put on a defensive posture, and also held a sapper shovel in both hands to rotate with the white wolf. Turning, turning, the white wolf swooped up with a gust of wind. Li Baoqiang felt it, picked up the sapper shovel and got ready, and swung towards the white wolf, very lucky, the wolf seemed to be insensitive to react, the sharp sapper shovel scratched the white wolf's right hind leg, the sawtooth piggyback tore off a few strands of meat, and the white wolf's leg flowed blood. Li Baoqiang was very excited, and he won the first battle.
In fact, Li Baoqiang didn't know that the first wave of nuclear dust radiation caused the white wolf's body to lose immunity and dull spirits, otherwise how could he be so easy to be caught by himself.
The white wolf didn't give him much time to think, turned around and was another "vicious dog pounce", jumped up and pounced from the air. This time, Li Baoqiang did not dodge and was pressed under the wolf. Li Baoqiang swung the sapper shovel with his right hand and slashed at the white wolf's back, while his left arm and left hand also grabbed the wolf's neck at the same time. The wolf's two little eyes were staring at his face, which made him a little afraid, but the instinctive life ** was supporting him. The wolf's scarlet tongue shook before his eyes, and the breath that came out of his mouth made him feel uncomfortable; The wolf's front paws clawed at his chest, cutting through his clothes, his skin.
In a life-and-death struggle, both sides are single-mindedly trying to kill the other. The white wolf wanted to get rid of the control of his hand, so he kept shaking his head, but he held his left hand tightly, always stuck the white wolf's neck and did not let go, not letting the white wolf's bloody mouth reach out to his neck. With his right arm, he swung a sapper shovel and struck the white wolf's back continuously.
One struggled, the other did not let go, they were stalemate with each other, slowly consuming their physical strength, especially Li Baoqiang, who seemed to be at a disadvantage. The wolf's big mouth was getting closer and closer to his face, and the sharp teeth were close to Li Baoqiang's face, and at the moment when the white wolf opened his mouth to bite, Li Baoqiang shook his head violently, and the sharp wolf teeth drilled into Li Baoqiang's forehead, and a piece of meat instantly reached the wolf's mouth. The wolf howled triumphantly, and with a thud in his throat, the piece of meat rolled into his belly
The heart-rending pain made Li Baoqiang let out a chilling scream. Blood ran down his forehead, covering his eyes and smearing his face. Li Baoqiang's face became hideous, the pain aroused his infinite strength, he did not stop fighting, a sense of anger made him reach out and hit the white wolf who was devouring his muscles, and punched the white wolf on the back of the wound that was cut by the sapper shovel.
The white wolf let out a wail and ran away from him, looking at him only a few feet away, his tongue licking from time to time. Li Baoqiang moved to the edge of the rock, leaned against the rock, and gasped sharply, the mountain wind was still blowing, and the bonfire was still burning. Slowly, the whole forest seemed to return to a peaceful atmosphere, but it was the silence before the war. In the midst of peace, the two sides are still at war, but they are only comparing courage and wisdom.
He leaned against the rock and looked at the white wolf, and the wolf stared at him, two pairs of eyes staring at each other, peering at each other, neither of them wanting to take a step back. On the one hand, it is the ** of life, the courage of life; On the one hand, it is also the ** of life, the heart of revenge.
Li Baoqiang understands the three major endings of the war between man and wolf: man wins wolf, more ruthless than wolf; The wolf wins the man, and even the wolf is not as good; Big deal, like a wolf!
The difference between them is the heart, the man lives for the future to live, and the wolf lives for himself. Li Baoqiang's eyes are firm, unyielding determination, while the eyes of the white wolf are greedy, vicious and fierce.
Li Baoqiang was calmly waiting, and the white wolf rushed up like lightning, perhaps because of the wolf's cunning. Li Baoqiang may have been tired, and he didn't even raise his hand, so he bit his arm, fell his head, and another piece of meat was torn apart and swallowed into his stomach. He let out a scream and fell to the ground in pain. The wolf pounced on him a second time, a raw **, which made him sit up and pounce on him as well.
Man and wolf hugged each other, like a hug between friends or lovers, so tight, so warm, that no one wanted to let go. His head pressed against the wolf's chin, while his hands wrapped around the wolf's body, and he himself pressed against the wolf's body. The wolf struggled, its limbs clawing at him. His clothes were rotten, his upper body was almost **, and his skin was scratched and bleeding. But he didn't want to let go, he just wanted to overcome it, so that he could go back alive, and he couldn't feel any pain.
The forest was silent, even the mountain wind was so frightened that it held its breath, the stars stared in the night sky, and they did not even dare to blink their eyes, the birds with many mouths no longer dared to make a loud noise, and everything between heaven and earth watched this life-and-death duel. Man and wolf are in a stalemate, and neither can attack the other.
Time passed little by little, and the two sides were still like that, one was holding, the other was struggling, and no one was calling; There was only the sound of heavy breathing, the campfire burning, and the red light reflected their figures. He seemed to feel something, and moved slightly, the white wolf was still struggling.
Suddenly, Li Baoqiang rolled to the fire with the wolf in his arms, and the closer he got to the fire, the more the wolf struggled, and he turned over suddenly, and Li Baoqiang pressed the white wolf into the bonfire. The wolf howled in the firelight, but Li Baoqiang didn't scream or shout, but just pressed the wolf's body. The fire burned all around him, burning his clothes, his skin, scorching its hair, scorching its flesh. It kept moving its limbs, trying to break free, but no, it had no strength to break free of those powerful hands, and could only let out a terrible howl.
The whole forest was alarmed by the howl of wolves, and the birds took off one after another, as if to change their angles to watch. Time passed, and with a long howl from the wolf, he rolled out of the fire and lay down on the beach, and the white wolf tried to struggle to stand, but finally he couldn't, and fell into the fire again. The forest was full of screams, followed by silence
Li Baoqiang regained a little strength, stood up and examined the white wolf who had just fought life and death and almost bit his throat. There is not much white hair left on its body, most of the hair has been burned by the bonfire, one is black, one is gray, and the waist and legs have revealed pink mince, it is more ugly now than when it was alive, but it is kinder than when it was alive, and the two narrow and terrifying eyes are no longer fierce, but a little more sad.
Li Baoqiang found that the white wolf had nipples in his abdomen, and a few drops of milk dripped out, and the white wolf also seemed to be hinting to him, looking up at the hillside with difficulty, and then looking at Li Baoqiang and tilting his head to die.
Li Baoqiang looked at the hillside and felt something.
Li Baoqiang washed his injured forehead and shoulder with the boiling water he had just boiled, and only then did he feel a heart-rending pain, the two small pieces of flesh were gone, and the blood was still gushing out. Li Baoqiang tore open the underwear that had been bitten by the wolf and bandaged the wound.
"Damn, it's broken, it's hard to find a daughter-in-law, let alone hope now." Li Baoqiang smiled bitterly.
After bandaging the wound and looking at the jacket bought for 3,000 yuan, which had been torn into strips of cloth by the white wolf, and the part that had shrunk into a ball that had been roasted by the fire, Li Baoqiang smiled bitterly. I cleaned up and bundled my clothes, but fortunately I could barely hang them on my body. You can't wear it, it's cold, and you have to rely on it to keep out the cold.
"Yes, I was originally a prince charming, but now I am the leader of the beggar gang," Li Baoqiang laughed at himself.
Lactating wolves generally come out to find food, and the female wolf takes care of the cubs in the den, while the female white wolf comes out to find food by herself, indicating that the male wolf is dead or not nearby. Li Baoqiang secretly analyzed.
Thinking of the eyes of the she-wolf when she died, Li Baoqiang was full of sympathy, and he couldn't help but think of his mother, raising himself alone, and struggling to survive.
Li Baoqiang decided to look for the wolf's den.
Li Baoqiang pried four wolf fangs with a sapper shovel and put them in his backpack, and some of them were blown to his future girlfriend when he went back. Li Baoqiang walked towards the hillside.
Finally, a rocky cave was discovered on the sunny hillside. Li Baoqiang cautiously approached the entrance of the cave. At this time, if the male wolf appears, he is really cocooned. In the fishy cave, a fluffy little white wolf cub is sleeping soundly, looking quite cute, like a human love.
It's a pity that your mother has died for you, don't blame me, wolves and humans are mortal enemies, because either the wolf dies or I die, from now on I will raise you. Li Baoqiang picked up the little wolf cub, and the little wolf cub opened his eyes ignorantly, seemed to smell his mother's smell, and hummed excitedly. In fact, it was the smell left by the she-white wolf when she bit Li Baoqiang, as well as the smell of the four wolf fangs.
"Snow white, let's call you white sugar, but white sugar is too straightforward, it's called candy in English, okay little candy?" Li Baoqiang couldn't help but feel childlike, but fortunately he didn't forget the English candy words he learned in elementary school.
Li Baoqiang put the little wolf cub into his backpack and walked down the mountain.
Li Baoqiang consumed a lot of physical strength because of the brave fight against the female white wolf, and his physical strength decreased a lot, and it took him three days to finally walk out of the mountain along the stream.
In the past three days, the little white wolf cub Candy has been sleeping in the backpack in addition to eating the chewed sparse compressed biscuits fed by Li Baoqiang and drinking some water, and seems to feel that Li Baoqiang's broad shoulders and body temperature through the clothes are very secure, which makes Li Baoqiang very relieved, seeing Candy's dependent look, Li Baoqiang's guilt for killing the she-wolf in his heart has slowly disappeared.
Li Baoqiang looked at the villages and towns that appeared in front of him, and his heart was excited, and he finally saw people. It's a pity that Wangshan ran a dead horse, and it still took half a day to travel. At this time, Li Baoqiang was standing on a sunny slope. The snow has begun to turn white since yesterday, the sky is slowly beginning to clear, and it seems that the ultraviolet rays have also become stronger, and Li Baoqiang feels that the world is slowly recovering to life.
"Eat compressed biscuits continuously, and a bird fades out of your mouth." Li Baoqiang muttered, looking at the hillside.
Li Baoqiang pried away the snow with a sapper shovel, this snow is like a sandwich biscuit, the upper layer is white, this is the snow that fell yesterday, the middle layer is black and gray, it is the snow during the earthquake a few days ago, and the bottom layer is still white, which should be the earliest snow.
There are weeds or wild vegetables under the snow, and the withered yellow old leaves are a trace of green young leaves in the heart, full of vitality and stunned.
According to the method taught by the instructor, Li Baoqiang first shoveled out a section, and then continued to dig forward. While carefully shoveling the soil, I carefully identified the leaves and rhizomes. This is one of the basic skills of the marines, and at this time, it can also let Li Baoqiang relieve the pain of lovesickness for green leafy vegetables, because he only eats compressed biscuits in the past few days, and his stool is dry, and the pain of constipation torments him.
Heroes also have unspeakable secrets. Li Baoqiang rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly.
This is bitter herb that inhibits leukemia.
Li Baoqiang recognized it while recalling his knowledge of how to identify the shape and function of various wild vegetables. The Marine instructors taught them a lot of knowledge about survival in the wilderness, which also benefited Li Baoqiang in the apocalyptic crisis.
During the excavation process, Li Baoqiang found that there were shepherd's cabbage, dandelion, bracken, bellflower, water celery, vetch, small root garlic, and there were many varieties of wild vegetables. Hey, what is it? The rhizome is horizontal, nearly cylindrical, and the nodes are relatively expanded, with a diameter of about 1.5cm. There are no old leaves, so they are unrecognizable. Li Baoqiang tasted it cautiously, it was fat and meaty, slightly sweet in taste, and sticky, Li Baoqiang thought about it carefully and determined that this was yellow essence.
Li Baoqiang's hometown is Laoshan Mountain, which is also a place where Chinese herbal medicines grow everywhere. Li Baoqiang went up to the mountain to collect herbs and sell them since he was a child, earning a little money to spend, so he can recognize Chinese herbal medicine a little.
It's a good thing, yellow essence is sweet in taste and flat in nature. It can nourish the kidneys and lungs, nourish the spleen and invigorate qi, and can be cooked. Li Baoqiang dug excitedly. Nourish yin and aphrodisiac, and make up for it. By Li Baoqiang.
After collecting a large bag of yellow essence, Li Baoqiang took out the outdoor windproof stove, washed the wild vegetables with water in the bottle, cooked a pot of wild vegetable soup, and chewed a few pieces of boiled yellow essence tubers, because a package of instant noodle seasoning was added to the wild vegetable soup, this wild vegetable root and leaf soup made Li Baoqiang too addicted, and he suddenly felt refreshed and his physical strength was restored, so he packed his bags and walked to the town.
While walking, Li Baoqiang thought that with his fierce ability to survive in the wild, there is absolutely no problem in surviving in the lofty mountains of the Qinling Mountains, but my brother is about to go out of the mountain, and the flower girls outside are waiting for me, my brother Baoqiang is here.
After a few days of physical and mental conditioning, Li Baoqiang has regained the self-confidence, courage and optimism that he had when he was carrying out tasks in the army.
Gradually approaching the town, what greeted him was full of devastation, which was Li Baoqiang's first feeling about the town.
"And then I met you, and then, and then you became my girlfriend." After Li Baoqiang finished speaking, he looked down at Zhao Xiaoxiao, who was still surprised, and couldn't help but kiss Zhao Xiaoxiao's white and tender face after taking a bath, and Zhao Xiaoxiao woke up from Li Baoqiang's thrilling story.
"I'm going to be strong too." Zhao Xiaoxiao swore to Li Baoqiang.
"Don't, after you are strong, then my little brother will be dangerous, and your tricks are invincible in the world."
After the breakthrough in the relationship between the two, Li Baoqiang no longer pretended to be a tough guy, and his tone also learned to be fat.
"With me, you can be my beautiful lady with peace of mind," Li Baoqiang comforted Zhao Xiaoxiao. "Hmm." Zhao Xiaoxiao agreed reassuringly, snuggled in Li Baoqiang's strong arms and slowly fell asleep.
