Memories (9)
On that day, perhaps because of the uneasiness in my heart, the return journey was inevitably a little impatient. Before evening, I had returned to the hill where I had hidden the white wolf.
But when I got back there, the white wolf was gone, and all that was left was a mess of dead branches and leaves, and blood stains on the ground that had long since dried up.
But I was not very surprised, I always felt restless when I was on the road before, although I lost all my mana, and could not use the calculation technique, but the hunch in my heart was extremely accurate, so I naturally had a mental preparation.
It's just that I'm still confused. It stands to reason that I haven't been gone for too long. This place is far from the official road, even hunters who make a living by hunting may not easily penetrate here, and besides, there are no footprints of others or any signs of human intrusion on the ground, so the white wolf must not have been bumped into and taken away. As for himself, thinking of his previous near-death and helpless appearance, I subconsciously shook my head, naturally it was impossible for him to leave on his own. Could it be that he was taken away by a monster? It's not impossible, since he is a wolf demon who is about to transform into a monster, it is not impossible to have one or two companions who are also monsters.
I made a closer look, but there was no trace of the white wolf except for the messy pile of dead leaves and the dark red blood on the ground.
I inevitably have some regrets in my heart. If my mana is still there, I can know the whereabouts of the white wolf by calculating at will. But if my mana was still there, I wouldn't have to go to such great lengths to look for herbs in Yuhang City. Now I am no different from ordinary mortals, and in the future, I will definitely have to do the futile things that ordinary mortals often experience.
Thinking like this, my heart suddenly felt relieved.
It's just that I'm feeling a little lost again. Originally, I planned to save the white wolf and subdue him as my spirit beast, first, there is a mount a little farther away to save a lot of foot strength, and secondly, this monster that has lived for hundreds of years must be very familiar with this human world, and I just lack a guide when I first arrive.
I sighed slightly, for the sake of today, I can only go back to Yuhang City before making plans.
In the evening, it was the moment when the old golden crow in the Fusang Mountain returned to the nest. The distant mountains are like daisies, and the coolness in the mountains is gradually rising.
Although I didn't feel cold, I subconsciously tightened my collar. Looking around, I no longer hesitated, and hurried along the same road towards Yuhang City.
The night swept very fast, and before we were halfway there, the sunset had completely fallen into the horizon.
I didn't have a lantern in my hand, so I could only follow the moonlight, but in doing so, my walking slowed down significantly.
Inexplicably, the uneasy feeling I had when I had been going up the mountain before came back to me.
Although I have lived for thousands of years, I have grown up peacefully under the protection of Master since I was a child, and I have never left the heavenly realm for half a step, and naturally I have never experienced the feeling of danger, nor do I know how to deal with this uneasiness.
I was a little at a loss and unconsciously stopped.
There was a rustling sound in the darkness not far away, like the sound of the wind blowing the grass, but my heart suddenly tightened.
In the middle of the night, a few black-clothed and masked people burst out, and there was no doubt that they should be men.
I touched my chest and knew who it was, and my heart fell back to its original place quite safely.
The masked man at the head seemed to be looking at me, and seeing that I was not too afraid, he was obviously a little surprised. His voice was low and slow, as if he was deliberately lowering his voice, "Why aren't you afraid of us?"
I looked at him, and the moonlight was dim and I couldn't make out clearly, and I only thought that the man's eyes looked very bright in the moonlight. "You and I are only two hands and two feet, so what reason do you have to be afraid? ”
In fact, when I didn't find out the situation before, I thought that there were jackals, tigers and leopards hiding in the night, but now when I see the comer, people's hearts are naturally much more relaxed, and since they are people, even if they are masked robbers, they can naturally negotiate, and there is room for maneuver.
When the man heard my answer, he seemed even more surprised, "You little girl has a lot of meaning, you have a lot of treasure but you enter the pawnshop alone, and you don't enter the pawnshop to seek wealth, but you ask for the thousand-year-old He Shou Wu, tell me, what is your purpose?"
The man couldn't hold his breath and confessed his details. Now that I know his details, I have an idea in my heart. In the end, they are just seeking money, and since they are seeking money, I have the dependence to get out. Thinking of this, I smiled and said, "Since you are here for the Kunlun jade, then I will show you a place to go." ”
The man's eyes lit up, but then he seemed to have some scruples, and said abruptly: "You guessed wrong, we are here for you, girl." ”
For the first time, I experienced the emotion called fear, I had seen the scene in that scene where the robber saw the young and beautiful woman, and at that time I thought that the robber was very stupid, and he didn't do the business of robbing houses but indulged in beauty and finally lost his life, but I never thought that I would meet such a stupid robber today. It's just that even if the woman in the drama can't save herself, she often has a hero to rescue her, and in the end, she can achieve a god-sent relationship. But as far as I, the unlucky fairy, is concerned, not only do I not have the ability to save myself, but the moon and the wind are high in this wilderness, and naturally there is no hero to save me.
I still did not give up, so I took out the black pearl hairpin from my head and said, "If you let me go, I will give you this priceless hairpin." ”
When the man heard my words, his steps towards me were noticeably stagnant, and he seemed to be attracted to the pearl hairpin.
I couldn't see clearly in the darkness of the night, except vaguely for a glance at him and his accomplices.
I thought he was still undecided, and said, "If you let me go, I will have other treasures of greater value besides this pearl hairpin, and I will give them all to you?"
The man didn't reply. The shadow of the moon shifted, and by the light of the moon, I could clearly see that the group of robbers were glazed over, frozen in place, somewhat similar to the situation I had been in when I had been immobilized by the old man.
The atmosphere was a little strange, I took a step towards the gang of robbers, they really seemed to have fallen for the immobilization technique, could it be that some god saw that I was pitiful and saved me?
I looked around and saw nothing but the dappled shadows of the trees in the moonlight. I tentatively called, "Who saved me?" ”
