Chapter 12: The Wolf Hunter
"Woo~" With a low roar, the wolf in front squatted backwards with its two hind legs, its front legs on the ground, and jumped up towards Liu Wei.
As soon as the wolf jumped up, Liu Wei turned around violently, put the firewood knife in his mouth, grabbed the rope with both hands, and climbed up towards the branch where the rope was hanging.
The evil wolf that pounced on Liu Wei jumped into the air and hit the trunk of the tree hard, and the other evil wolves also pounced on Liu Wei who was hanging in the air at this time.
With a firewood knife in his mouth, Liu Wei grabbed the rope with both hands, and his two legs also climbed the rope and kicked up, and jumped out of the rope again.
The wolves pounced under the trees, and several of them jumped up in the air and jumped up towards Liu Wei's feet hanging below.
Climbing up a bit, Liu Bian's hands finally grabbed the branches, and at this moment, a wolf opened its mouth and jumped up from below, Bai Sensen's fangs were towards Liu Bian's ankles.
Grabbing the branch with both hands, Liu Wei bent his leg towards the lun, and then kicked down violently, his heel kicking on the nose of the evil wolf that was jumping up towards the lun.
The momentum of the upward rush had slowed down a bit, and the wolf that jumped in the air had not had time to fall downwards when he was hit the nose.
After a terrible snort, the wolf was kicked to the ground.
Kicking the wolf under the tree, Liu Wei supported the branch with both arms, hung his legs on both sides of the branch, supported the trunk with both hands, and slowly stood up.
After standing up, he moved to the branch where Tang Ji was hanging, and climbed along the branch towards Tang Ji.
Grabbing Tang Ji's arm with one hand and grabbing the clothes around her waist with the other, Liu Wei used enough strength to drag Tang Ji onto the branch.
"Go and sit in the middle of the trees." Pulling Tang Ji up to the branch, he grabbed Tang Ji with one hand, and with her, he moved towards the tree in the middle of the big tree.
Sitting in the middle of the tree, Liu Wei first untied the rope wrapped around the branch on the side, and then asked Tang Ji to sit with his back against an upright branch and his hands raised high.
He wrapped the rope around Tang Ji and tied her up tightly, so that Tang Ji lowered his arms and said to her, "The wolves are under the tree, I am worried that you will accidentally fall, so it is more safe to tie them up like this." ”
Glancing down at the rope tied to his body, Tang Ji raised his head to look at Liu Wei and nodded heavily.
Liu Wei glanced down at the tree, and saw twenty or thirty wolves surrounding the ancient acacia, one by one with their heads tilted, making a low "woo" sound, and a pair of eyes flashing with pale green light, staring at him and Tang Ji sitting in the middle of the tree.
Seeing the wolves surrounding the trees, Liu Wei pouted helplessly, and muttered secretly in his heart, on such a cold day, if these wolves did not leave for a day or two, even if he and Tang Ji did not starve to death, I am afraid they would freeze to death on the trees.
"Don't be afraid." Feeling that Tang Ji's body was trembling slightly, although Liu Wei was not too optimistic about being surrounded by wolves, he still got closer to Tang Ji, reached out to hug her shoulder, and comforted her softly: "This group of wolves has just survived a winter and hasn't eaten much, and their stomachs are hungry at this time." As long as we consume more energy than them, and let them sit around and watch no way, they will always go. ”
The body was fixed on the branch, Tang Ji turned his head to look at Liu Wei who was holding her shoulder, nodded, and said a soft "um".
The two of them sat on the tree, the wolves gathered around the ancient locust, most of the wolves after a while, they all lay on the ground, closed their eyes and pretended to sleep, only a few of the smallest wolves surrounded the tree, from time to time raised their paws and stood up to pull the trunk.
Sitting on the tree, Liu Wei and Tang Ji both felt a little sleepy, they had been running all night, and sitting on the tree at this time happened to give them some time to rest.
Liu Wei hugged Tang Ji, leaned against the branch, and the two fell asleep deeply, just when Liu Wei was sleeping, a noisy shout came into his ears.
Fearing that he would be caught up by the pursuers, Liu Wei opened his eyes violently and looked in the direction where the shouting sound was made.
I saw more than a dozen men dressed in animal skins come out of the woods not far away with long knives and forks, and pounce on the wolves with strange screams.
Their strange screams frightened the wolves, and the wolves surrounding the ancient locust hurriedly jumped up, followed the largest wolf and retreated a little farther away, before turning their heads to look at the men who were rushing towards them from a distance.
The group of men ran under the ancient acacia, and the man who rushed to the front paused in his footsteps, leaned back a little, and then threw the sharpened javelin in his hand towards the wolves.
The javelin fell into the wolves, firmly into the body of a wolf, and actually nailed the wolf to the ground.
The men rushed towards the wolves, leaving only the man who was running at the back of the pack towards the tree. In the face of a group of fierce strong men, the wolves did not linger much, and turned around and ran away under the leadership of the huge wild wolves.
Looking at the back of the wolves in the distance, Liu Wei, who was sitting on the tree, knew that he was saved, let out a long breath, gently pushed Tang Ji, who was still sleeping beside him, and called her in a low voice: "Wake up, someone has come to save us." ”
Tang Ji opened her sleepy eyes, looked around a little confused, and was stunned for a moment, only to remember that she and Liu Wei were surrounded by a group of wolves just now.
After waking up Tang Ji, Liu Wei stood in the middle of the tree, clasped his hands into fists and arched towards the man standing under the tree and said: "The couple passed by here and were besieged by wolves. ”
The man who had thrown his javelin and pierced a wolf rushed to the dead wolf, reached out and grabbed the dead wolf's neck, put it on his shoulder, and walked towards the tree with several other men who had rushed towards the wolf pack.
The man who had been standing under the tree crossed his hands on his waist, looked up at Liu Wei standing on the tree, and shouted at him with a puzzled expression: "The weather is cold, and very few people come to this mountain, who are you and why did you come here?" ”
"The two of us are from Chang'an, and I came to Luoyang to join my relatives, and I didn't want my relatives to move, so I planned to return to Chang'an, but I lost my way after leaving the city and went around here." When he returned to the man's words, Liu Wei did not jump off the tree, but said to the man with a very respectful attitude: "Neizi grinded his feet on the road and was resting here, but I happened to meet a group of wolves, and my husband and wife almost became meat in their stomachs. ”
"My name is Tao Hu!" After listening to his explanation, the man who spoke to Liu Wei did not have much doubt, but just raised his head and shouted at him: "We are all villagers who live near here, and wolves, insects, tigers and leopards are often infested here, so it is better for you two to stay in the village with me for one night before leaving." ”
"The two of us left in a hurry, without bringing Sichuan Zi ......" Tao Hu said that he wanted him and Tang Ji to stay in the village for one night, Liu Wei shook his head with some embarrassment, and only half of the words were spoken, so he didn't continue.
"Staying overnight at a farmer's house is nothing!" Tao Hu waved his hand at Liu Wei and said to him, "Can't you watch you feed the beasts here?" Come down and follow us back to the village. ”
From Tao Hu's expression and tone when he spoke, the observant Liu Wei could see that he was not pretentious, but a real simple mountain man.
"Your foot is injured, so we'll spend the night in the village." Liu Wei did not shirk Tao Hu's kindness, he squatted down and talked to Tang Ji who had woken up and was still tied to the branch by him.
"Everything is up to the husband!" The rope on his body was untied, and Tang Ji pursed his lips and answered softly.
Let Tang Ji sit on the edge of the tree trunk, Liu Wei grabbed her armpits with both hands and slowly lowered her towards the tree. More than a dozen men standing under the tree watched Liu Wei put Tang Ji down from the tree, but none of them stepped forward to help.
Grabbing Tang Ji's arms with both hands, he lowered her little by little, and when Tang Ji's feet were only more than a foot above the ground, Liu Wei let go of his hands.
Losing his strength, Tang Ji fell to the ground, his feet were weak, and he sat down under the ancient acacia with a "poof".
Putting Tang Ji down the tree, Liu Wei put his arms around the trunk and slid down.
As soon as his feet landed, he turned to Tao Hu and the other men and arched his hand and said, "Thank you guys, my husband and wife don't have to bother you today." ”
After thanking everyone, Liu Wei made a special trip to the man who stabbed a wolf to death with a javelin, clasped his hands into fists, bowed slightly, and said to the man: "Thank you for saving the man!" ”
The man who killed a wolf was more than a head taller than Liu Wei, even if he didn't deliberately open his eyes, he was the size of a copper bell, his beard was like a steel needle, and with his body as strong as a bear, his whole body was full of a strong fierceness.
The man who was holding the top flower skin of the dead wolf with one hand and a dead wolf on his shoulder just nodded at Liu Wei and didn't say a word.
"Hehe, that's what he looks like." After being deflated by the wolf bearer, Liu Weizheng stood there with an embarrassed face and didn't know what to do, and another man who passed by him patted his arm gently, dropped such a sentence, and went to the side.
"Let's go!" Nodding at Liu Wei, Tao Hu beckoned to the other men and shouted, "Brothers, go back to the village." ”
Helping Tang Ji who was sitting under the ancient huai, Liu Wei turned his head to look at the more than ten men, especially the man who was carrying the dead wolf. The men were all very sturdy, and it could be seen at a glance that they were mountain people who had been running in the mountains all year round, but the man who carried the wolf made Liu Wei feel that he was not an ordinary mountain people.
The other men talked to each other as they walked, especially the one named Tao Hu who talked the most, and they listened to him talk non-stop along the way.
The man who carried the wolf didn't say a word like a dumb man, but Liu Wei, who was born in special forces, still faintly smelled a little killing breath from his exposed temperament.
He's definitely been on the battlefield, and he's fought on the battlefield more than once!
