Mountains after mountains, mountains after mountains, tall red pines, tall birch trees, dense and boundless, vines under the trees

The vines were entangled, Mi Bao and Sister Fu were next to the flowing water, and they walked for another day. Their last food had been eaten, and Micbo didn't shoot the grouse, only a few small fish, and the two of them gave in to each other to eat. They saw anxiety and disappointment in each other's eyes.

It was a very good moonlight that night, white and bright sprinkled among the pine forests, and the spring water in the mountains tinkled and flowed, tireless and unsorrowful. Mi Po and Fuzi sat back to back on the damp, musty-smelling fallen leaves, without putting together the fire or speaking. It was surprisingly quiet, and the owl did not know where to fly to feed, except for the sound of the wind blowing the pine branches. Suddenly, the wind sent a few wolf howls from the treetops, and the experience of the past few days had made them feel less nervous about the wolf's howl, but some of them were used to it. The two listened in silence for a while, and then the screams died down again, and Mi Po rolled over and stood up, and pulled out the parchment bucket from his baggage, ready to fetch some water. At this moment, the wolf howl sounded again, not one or two, as if several of them were howling together, and the howl rose and fell, and it was near them. Fuzi also stood up, grabbed Mi Bao's arm, and said with some excitement:

"Baozi, listen carefully, the howl of the wolf is mixed with the barking of the dog!"

"I heard it just now, what's wrong with a dog barking?" Mi Bao asked a little puzzled.

"You're stupid, in this deep mountain and old forest, there are dogs and people!" Fuzi patted Mi Bao and said, "My brother and they all bring hunting dogs when they go into the mountains!" ”

Mi Bao heard Fuzi say this, immediately took the bow in his hand, Fuzi held the bundled arrow in his arms, took out one and handed it to Mi Bao, Mi Bao looked back at her, Fuzi's snow-white round face looked more white and delicate in the melting moonlight, and the curved and thin eyes showed a faint smile when they looked at it, making people feel stable and sweet, Mi Bao nodded at her knowingly, and the two of them groped in the direction of the sound one after another.

The further you went, the trees thinned out, and the vines on the ground turned into dwarf trees and grasses, and the terrain became much more gentle. Without the fetters of vines, the pace of the two quickened.

Passing through a grove of low trees, there were rocks of different shapes in front of them, they stopped, Mi Bao climbed a tall boulder with a gentle top, looked in the direction of the wolf's howl, and by the bright white moonlight, he found that in the shade of the black trees not far away, there was the outline of a thatched house flickering in the wind, he was surprised in his heart, afraid that he had seen it wrong, rubbed his eyes and looked again, it was indeed a thatched house! He immediately slipped off the stone and told Fuzi what he had seen, and Fuzi almost cried out with joy.

The two of them continued to grope forward around the strangely shaped big stones, the barking of dogs and the bite of wolves became clearer and clearer, and a trace of Mi Bao's familiar blood breath drifted through the wind, Mi Bao held the bow and arrow in his hand, leaned down with Fuzi, and looked at the grass, only to see that the thatched house was surrounded by a high fence wall, and the fence wall was crawling with vines of unknown plants, and there were some pale flowers faintly blooming in the vines, which looked lonely and helpless in the moonlight, and the door of the fence courtyard was ajar, and they finally saw and saw a few big wolves, was surrounding the door of a dog was biting, the dog was already scarred, black blood on its body, but it was still unrelenting at the gate of the yard, let out a hoarse roar.

Mi Bao immediately straightened up, stretched his stance and aimed at the wolves, Fuzi grabbed his arm hard, held his head and made him lean down again, and whispered:

"You can't shoot like that!"

Mi Bao said anxiously: "You didn't see that the dog was about to be bitten to death, why don't you shoot?" ”

Fuzi stretched out his hand and pointed at the wolves and said, "Shoot like this, don't say that you can't shoot it, and you will lure these beasts over, and we will both feed the wolves!" ”

Mi Bao took the bundled arrow from Fuzi's bosom in one hand, held the bow in the other, turned his face and said:

"I'll go behind the big rock on that side, shoot a few arrows at the wolves, and lure them away, and you cat will not move here, and when the wolves are gone, you will go over again, just like the blind bear in the daytime!"

Fuzi shook his head resolutely and said, "No, no, my brother is hunting, you are right to listen to me." There are more wolves than bears and blind thieves, do you see the wolf in the grass next to you? ”

Mi Bao followed the direction of Fuzi's finger and saw that there was indeed a gray-white wolf with a large size among the weeds on one side, which did not participate in the attack, and from time to time it buried its head in the grass and let out a long and short howl, the sound was like a blunt saw squeaking like trying to pull a tree, ugly and terrifying.

Fukuko then said, "Baozi, shoot it!" This guy is the leader of this gang of wolves, don't panic, shoot it if you aim at it! ”

Mi Po straightened up, her left hand clenching her bow. At this moment, he seemed to hear the crisp voice of peaches in his ear: It's because we Chinese are too weak that Japanese wolves dare to bite us, holding a bow in our left hand and an arrow in our right hand!

Mi Po took a deep breath and said in his heart, Peach, it's not a scarecrow in front, it's a real evil wolf, now, I'm going to shoot it, you see! He gritted his teeth, put the tail of the arrow on the rope of the bow with his right hand, put the front end on his left fist, pulled it back hard, and let his fingers go gently but quickly, and the arrow flew out smoothly with a "whoosh".

Mi Po archery is like Peaches said, very talented. He shot an arrow like an eye, and the "horn" hit the wolf's neck, and the wolf howled, fell to the ground, and rolled in the grass.

Sure enough, the wolves surrounding the gate of the fence stopped attacking, and two of them ran towards the wolf.

Fuzi immediately handed the arrow to Mi Bao and shouted, "Mi Bao, hurry!" Shoot! Shoot them! ”

Mi Bao drew the bow to the full, and the arrows were not in vain.

Fuzi picked up the stones around her and threw them at the wolves, shouting loudly, her slightly hoarse voice resounding in the silent air, the mountains and woods echoing her, as if there were hundreds of Fuzi shouting together.

The wolves were finally panicked by this sudden attack, which they had never experienced before, and left their two companions who had fallen at the gate of the courtyard, and fled in the wilderness.

Mi Bao pulled Fuzi out of the grass and ran towards the fence gate.

The two came to the half-open door one after the other, Fuzi tried his best to pick up the big stone under the base of the fence wall, and smashed it at the wolf lying on the ground who was writhing his body, black blood gushed out from under the stone, and the bloody breath came to his face, smelling this smell, Mi Bao's heart immediately seemed to be stirred, and the scene of the corpse flowing all over the field and the river of blood appeared in front of him again, he ran to the side, bent down, and retched.

Fuzi ran over, stretched out his hand and patted Mi Bao's back, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" Where's the injury? ”

Mi Bao shook his head and said, "I can't see blood, it's been like this since my mother died." ”

Fuzi stopped his hand, changed his face, and said angrily, "How can you do this? You're still a man, aren't you? See clearly, this is the blood of wolves, if they don't bleed, we will have to die and bleed like your mother and them! ”

No one had ever said such a thing to Mi Po, and Fuzi's words made the thing in Mi Po's heart slowly stop stirring, and he felt that he was getting up from the pile of cold corpses and gradually moving away from them. He bit his lower lip, raised his head, looked at Fuzi and said, "Sister Fu, you're right, we have to kill them, let them die, and let them bleed!" ”

Fuzi held Mi Bao's hand tightly and nodded heavily.

Mi Po kicked the wolf lying on the ground, turned around and went to the half-open fence door with Fukuko.

By the bleak moonlight, they saw a puppy lying in a pool of blood, apparently dead. The big dog, which had fought fiercely with the wolves, lay motionless, with its head outward and tail facing the courtyard, as if a guardian was ready to pounce on the enemy at any moment.

Fuzi called at it several times with a "tsk" sound, but it still didn't move. Mi Po approached, flicked its front paws with a bow, put his hand on his nose and tried it, then turned back to Fuzi and said, "There is no gas." ”

Fuzi sighed heavily: "What a faithful and good dog, he will guard the door until death." ”

Mipo crouched down and reached out to move the big dog that was blocking the doorway. Just as he was moving its body vigorously, he suddenly screamed.

"What's going on again?" Fuzi hurriedly came up.

The two were surprised to find that under the body of the big dog, there was a hairy puppy, it was actually alive, curled up under the big dog, looked at Fuzi and Mi Bao in horror, trembling with fright, the big dog used its body to protect it at the last moment of life, so that its child survived.

Mipo couldn't help but cry as he looked at the scene in front of him, and he thought of his mother.

Fuzi bent down with some difficulty, picked up the puppy, hugged it in his arms, lowered his head and kissed its little head, and said softly: "Good boy, don't be afraid, there is a mother, and the mother is protecting you!" ”

Mibo also pressed his face against the puppy's velvety body, and he felt its heart beating rapidly.

They stood for a long time in the moonlight, holding the lovely and poor little creature who had suddenly arrived, forgetting the dark forests around them, the towering peaks, and the exhaustion and hunger in their bodies, as if they had come for this hot, gasping little life.

The puppy let out a few soft and weak howls, which suddenly woke the two of them up.

Fuzi raised his head and said, "No, why hasn't there been any movement at all?" Isn't the host at home? ”

Mi Po looked into the courtyard and said, "I haven't even lit the lights, so I can't just leave the dog to watch the door, right?" ”

Fuzi unbuttoned a piece of clothing, carefully carried the puppy into his arms, and then said to Mi Bao: "Let's go in first, put the courtyard gate on the top, and be careful of the wild wolf coming again." ”

Mi Bao did as Fuzi said, thinking to himself, how can the people of this family go out and not even close the courtyard door? Isn't it right in the house? As soon as this thought came out, he startled himself, could it be that there was someone in the dark room?
