Ruda came to the stream at the bottom of the mountain, scooped up a few handfuls of water and washed his face, then sat down by the stream, found a stone, and began to sharpen the big knife in his hand with the water in the stream, and it took a long time to polish off the rust on the knife. He stroked the broadsword, and felt that the knife seemed to have a spirituality, and the shining luster seemed to tell the story of the past, telling the heaviness and tragedy of the not-too-distant past.

It was the blood and tears of a warrior.

It was the tragedy of a strong man.

Have you ever heard of this vast green mountain? Have you ever heard the murmuring of green water?

Ruda looked at the big knife and silently read in his heart: "Brothers, blessed by the spirit of heaven, this trip must find out the ins and outs of the matter." ”

Luda walked alone along the mountain road in the direction of Yongzhou.

Yongzhou is a state province adjacent to Wuguan Xixia. There was only a Western Xia garrison nearby, and the leader of the garrison there was a general named Heiman, who often led his men and horses to burn, kill and loot in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and did all kinds of evil. Ruda concluded that the looting of grain and grass must have been done by the black barbarians, so he wanted to go there to find out.

Luda hurried the way, approaching the evening, came to a barren mountain, at the foot of the mountain stood a stone tablet, engraved with the three big characters of Wild Wolf Ridge, over this mountain to the territory of Western Xia.

Because it is located on the border of the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, it belongs to the buffer zone, there are often border disputes and local wars, and the local residents have long fled, so it is sparsely populated and very desolate.

Ruda stood at the foot of the mountain and looked around, but there was no place to rest, so he decided to go up the mountain first.

Ruda came halfway up the mountain, and found a large stone more than two feet high rising out of the way, he walked under the big stone, put down the burden and big knife he was carrying, and then leaned his body against the stone wall.

It was getting dark, and a bright moon like an ice tray slowly rose in the eastern sky.

Bright moon, stars, flowing clouds.

Ruda discovers that the night sky in spring is so beautiful.

Yes, Ruda has not calmed down for a long time, admiring the bright moonlight, the crystal stars, the fluttering clouds, and the beautiful night.

Such a night, such a moon, as the university scholar Su Shi described in "Water Tune Song Head": "When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky." I don't know what year the heavenly palace is. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable. Turn Zhu Pavilion, Di Qihu, shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, when to be biased, and when to be round. People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. ”

People have joys and sorrows, fleeing from their hometowns, and leaving their parents for nearly two years, elderly parents, you are good in your hometown, and you two elders should take care of themselves.

Ruda thought, thinking about what had happened since he ran away from home.

He remembered that the neat fenced courtyard by the stream and the two grandchildren of the strings, the laughing strings, the kind Grandpa Jin, where are you going, where are you there.

He remembered that in the deep mountains and old forests, the thatched hermitage under the big pine trees, and the old monk with white eyebrows, although he was far away from the red dust and escaped into the sand gate, he was still strong and loved the world.

He remembered Ouyang Yingying, who stayed at Old Man Ma's house.

Thinking of Ouyang Yingying, Luda not only reached out and touched the sachet hanging on his chest, but Yingying's face appeared in front of him, and Yingying's expectant gaze appeared. As if to say to him: Walk thousands of miles, don't forget.

Yes, don't forget.

Don't forget, Sauvignon Blanc.

Sauvignon Blanc, don't forget, thousands of miles of unforgettable is a kind of feeling.

Sauvignon Blanc, don't forget, what you remember for thousands of miles is a feeling.

Ruda also remembered his three brothers, brothers, where you were.

Thinking, thinking that Luda closed his eyes a little tiredly, drowsy, he told himself in his heart not to sleep, not to sleep, the barren mountains and mountains are not places to sleep peacefully, but he still fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long he slept, but in his sleep he heard Tihar crying out in his ear: "There is an ambush in my brother's ear." Ruda was awakened from his sleep, and his eyes widened suddenly, only to see several dark shadows quietly surrounding him in the moonlight. He rubbed his eyes, and when he looked closely, there were six huge wild wolves, each with their mouths wide open, salivating at the corners of their mouths, approaching step by step.

Ruda stood up, leaning against the stone wall and raising the broadsword in his hand. Seeing that Ruda had been awakened, and then looking at the cold and shining big knife in Luda's hand, the six wolves stopped, squatted on the ground, and stared at Ruda motionlessly.

Man and wolf are facing each other, and the competition between confrontations is patience, and the competition between confrontations is courage.

The man and the wolf confronted each other for about half a pillar of incense, and suddenly there was a howl with rage in the woods opposite, and the six wolves heard that their leading brother had impatiently given the death order to charge, and did not dare to delay any longer, and after looking at each other for a while, they howled and pounced.

Ruda leaned against the stone wall, looked at the hungry wolf that pounced up, and slashed five knives like lightning, killing the five hungry wolves who pounced in front of him in an instant.

When Ruda slashed the broadsword at the sixth wolf, the blunt knife, although it slashed heavily at the wolf's back, was tightly clamped by the wolf's hard backbone, and the wolf howled miserably and rolled down the hill with the knife.

At this moment, a fierce wind suddenly rolled up in the woods, and from the wind came a terrible howl, which was like a wolf but not a wolf, and the sound was full of a fear that penetrated deep into the marrow.

Almost at the same moment, a huge black shadow swooped towards Ruda with a disgusting fishy wind.

The fishy wind hit Ruda in the face like an arrow, and his face didn't change even a bit, he still stood there like an iron tower.

In front of him, there was a swirling rotten grass and rotten leaves, like a net hanging from mid-air, so that ordinary people could not even see the big trees ten feet away.

He's no ordinary man.

This is thanks to the training given to him by the old monk master, no matter what is in front of him, no matter how amazing the changes, he can remain calm at all times.

In times of calamity, in a life-and-death battle, composure is always the most effective weapon.

Ruda calmed down and saw that it was a monster with a horse's face and a body of green hair that could reach the ground, which was larger than an ordinary donkey.

Seeing the prey that was about to arrive, it was so calm, and the monster, which had already jumped into the air, suddenly fell to the ground and stopped, and it felt a little unbelievably surprised. Because no one had ever been so calm in front of it, it had to force its body that had been swirled in mid-air to hang down, and in the face of such a calm person it told itself that it must be extremely careful, careful, and careful.

The monster didn't move, its limbs clenched, and its blue eyes stared at Ruda's every move like a ghost.

Ruda stared at the monster with his eyes as impassing, his fists clenched and his eyes glaring at the monster's every move.

At this time, the comparison between humans and monsters is endurance, courage, and courage.

At this time, ****** know in their hearts that whoever moves first will be passive.

Each other is the strong, this is the fight between the strong and the strong.

Each other is an opponent, and this is a fight between opponents and opponents.

Both are waiting, waiting for the best moment to kill with one blow.

There has to be a fall between the two.

Confrontation, confrontation, confrontation, both sides glared angrily.

The eyes of the two facing each other were red with blood, as if they were about to burn like fire.

Confrontation, confrontation, either outbreak in confrontation or death in confrontation.

Confrontation, confrontation, I don't know how long the confrontation lasted, in the dark forest, the white light has gradually revealed, and the day is dawning.

Suddenly, a beam of sunlight shines through the treetops, shining on Luda's eyes facing east, just in the blink of an eye, the monster howled and pounced, two sharp claws on Luda's shoulders, like blades deep into the flesh, the blood basin mouth was about to tear Luda's neck, Luda leaned back against the stone wall, straightened his body, stretched out a pair of iron palms, moved the monster's upper and lower jaws, both hands forcefully a point, only to hear the "click" sound, the monster's head was torn into two pieces by Luda up and down, the monster howled in pain, jumped over Ruda's head, Hit the stone wall and fell again, and his limbs climbed a few times and swallowed his breath.

Ruda collapsed and fell to the ground and lay down for more than an hour before regaining his strength.

Ruda stood up and looked around, and saw the hungry wolf with a big knife on his back at the bottom of the hillside, so he walked over, pulled the big knife from the wolf's corpse with all his might, and used the knife as a staff to crawl up the mountain with great difficulty.

Climbed to the top of the mountain and looked down, only to see that at the foot of the mountain, scattered a few families, at this time tired and hungry Ruda really did not have the strength to walk down the mountain, he held a big knife in his arms, sat on the ground, and slid down the hillside.

As soon as they slid down the hill, several dogs barked and pounced, and Ruda had to sit on the ground and wave the big knife in his hand to drive them away.

Hearing the barking of the dogs, a man in his thirties walked out of a yard, drank back from the group of dogs, and saw that Ruda who was sitting there was covered in blood, and asked vigilantly: "Where did this brother come from, why is he covered in blood?" ”

Luda looked down, only to find that his body was covered with blood stained with wolf blood, so he said, "Big brother, don't be afraid, this is wolf blood." I beg my brother to give me something to eat, I'm dying of hunger. ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly took a few steps forward to help Luda and said, "Brother, enter the house, enter the house." ”

The middle-aged man helped Ruda into the house and sat on the kang. Then he instructed his wife: "Hurry up and cook on the fire, this brother is hungry." ”

Luda sat on the kang, took the bowl of water handed over by the middle-aged man and drank it all, then he took a long breath and said, "Thank you, big brother." ”

The middle-aged man found another piece of clothing and handed it to Ruda and said, "Quickly change the bloody clothes on your body, so as not to smell fishy." ”

Ruda took it, changed out of his torn shirt, and threw it outside the door.

At this time, the meal was also ready, and Luda devoured four large bowls of hare meat in a row, and then put down the rice bowl and said, "Thank you, eldest brother, sister-in-law." ”

When the middle-aged man saw that Ruda had recovered his strength, he asked, "How did you get here?" ”

So Ruda recounted in detail what happened last night. The two men and their parents were dumbfounded. After a long time, the middle-aged man said: "It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous, brother, it's a skill like you, so you can pick up a life and get down the mountain." You don't know how powerful that monster you killed was. ”

Luda said: "Big brother, what is that monster, why have I never seen or heard of this monster?" ”
