Chapter 679: I'm Sorry, My Sister Is Late
679
The yellow clouds outside the plug hung low, and the dead grass on the ground was connected, and the remaining snow had weathered into ice, crawling on the wilderness, and there was no trace of anyone in all directions.
Wei Yining reined in Gao Gang, his lips pursed. She has been searching here for almost two days, and she has not seen Wei Hongan and his captors.
The local herdsmen call this place the wolf field, because wolves often come here, and they usually don't come here to graze.
Hearing that Wei Yining was going to this place, they all waved their hands again and again, persuading her not to.
Even the most experienced old hunter would not dare to break into this place alone, let alone a young and handsome young man like Wei Yining.
But Wei Yining still came without hesitation, not because she supported her, but because she had no choice.
She bought a few sturdy hounds, two heavy hunting knives, bows and arrows, and enough firecracks from the local herdsmen, all of which were used against the wolves.
Those two people held Wei Hongan hostage all the way to the north, and finally came to this deserted place, what were they going to do to his younger brother, Wei Yining couldn't dare to think about it.
Wei Yining's mount had been replaced by a steppe horse with good endurance when it was in Qingcheng, and now it was tired from several days of trekking.
Wei Yining got off the horse, let the horse eat some hay, and took some jerky from the backpack to eat, those hounds don't need to be fed, they will catch hares and mice in the wasteland to eat, and even give the prey they caught to their masters.
In fact, she was also tired, but the whole person's spirit was always tense, and she didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
After a short rest, she led her horse over a hill.
At this time, it was close to dusk, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the wolves could be seen wandering in the distance, and after seeing Wei Yining, several wolves stopped and watched quietly.
But the hound that followed Wei Yining made them dare not approach rashly, but they would not give up easily.
Wei Yining turned around and saw a group of wolves tearing something, although it was far away, it gave her a sense of foreboding.
She quickly mounted her horse, waved her whip twice, and ran in that direction, the hound following her with a soft bark.
The setting sun had mostly sunk below the ground, and the last rays of the sun stained the field red, like blood.
Wei Yining felt that her breathing had stopped, as if someone had choked her neck, making her feel suffocated and desperate, and she couldn't even make a sound.
It seemed like it was just a moment, and it seemed like a hundred years had passed, Wei Yining's mind was blank, and his heart seemed to be stuffed with thousands of years of cold ice, so cold that he was numb and couldn't even feel the pain.
In front of her, several wolves were tearing at the corpse of a child, although it was already mutilated, Wei Yining could still see from the torn cloth that it was Wei Hongan's clothes, which she had sewn with her own hands.
The hungry wolf made a menacing sound over and over again with its bone-revealing upper body, and at its feet hung a small severed hand, which was covered with blood and wounds, and was gnawed to pieces, and one can imagine how it had been snatched from the mouth of the vicious wolf not long ago.
Wei Yining's teeth were gritted so hard that his whole body was trembling. But her hand holding the bow and arrow was still so steady, even more than usual.
An arrow was fired, and the wolf with the bones in its mouth fell, and the rest of the wolves sensed the danger, but there was still greed to rush up and grab the corpse and try to escape.
Where was Wei Yining willing to give in, and another arrow shot over.
The hounds immediately understood their master's intentions, and all rushed up to bite the wolves.
At this time, Wei Yining no longer looked like a living person at all, she quickly dismounted and drew her knife, and rushed into the wolves like a ghost, her hand rose and fell, and a cold light flickered around her.
The wolves howled, and the other wolves in the distance immediately responded.
Wei Yining knew that this was a pack of wolves calling for help, and they would also move the rescuers.
She knew that if she wanted to be safe in this situation, she had to leave quickly, because wolves would continue to come in.
If you just pass by, then the wolves may not come forward because they have weapons and hunting dogs, but once the conflict starts, you are left to live and die.
But she didn't want to go, because she was already mad with heartache, and safety made no difference to her, she only wanted to kill, and the thought that even killing would not get her brother back, she became even more desperate and wanted to die.
Finally, more than a dozen wolves here fell to the ground, and the hounds were all injured to varying degrees, and two of their stomachs were torn open, and they couldn't survive.
Wei Yining's horse was also bitten by a wolf and fell to the ground and screamed loudly in horror.
At this time, it was already dark, the north wind rose at sunset, and the howling wind was mixed with the howl of wolves, and they all approached Wei Yining.
Wei Yining lit a torch and gathered the bones on the ground, she had no tears, because her blood had been frozen in mourning.
"Hongan, I'm sorry, my sister is late." Wei Yining's voice was so light that it was blown away by the wind as soon as she spoke, she knelt stiffly on the ground, then leaned down and took those fragments of bones into her arms, and then as if she was also dead, she crawled quietly motionless.
On the hill in the distance, two people were looking at the back of the pile of rubble.
"Do you still need our help?" One of them asked the other.
"Do you think you still need it?" The other sneered and said, "Let her go with that little ghost!" Otherwise, wouldn't it be too lonely. ”
"It's the time when the green and yellow are not available, those wolves' eyes are hungry and green, and today is just the right time to have a full meal, and I have to thank us." The man said with some regret: "Actually, that girl has fine skin and tender meat, and it must taste good." It's a pity that the thorns are too prickly, and these beasts are cheap for nothing! ”
"Don't think about it, she's not an ordinary woman. How much effort did it take to kill her? I advise you to settle down and not make any extraneous troubles. Another masado admonished.
"I'm just a mouthful, are you really that bold to me? I'm afraid I don't want to live anymore if I break my master's business. This smiled and said, "Let's go back and recover our lives." ”
"Wait, we'll go when we're sure she's dead." The other was not at ease: "It's better to take a token back, so that the steward can say that we will do something." ”
"It's getting dark, there are more and more wolves here, and if we don't leave, we're afraid we won't be able to get out." The one looked around a little worriedly and said, "If you want to get the token, let's come here again tomorrow during the day." Don't worry, she can't escape with so many wolves. ”
"But I'm still not at ease." The other insisted.
"You're too careful, she's been injured just now, and besides, her horse can't go, and there are only two hounds left, and she can't escape anyway, so why don't you stay here with her to feed the wolves?"
"Alright, we'll come back tomorrow." The other was finally moved: "I don't think she can die so much!" ”
