Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Practitioner's Dilemma
Fortunately, this hillside is not far from our station, and it didn't take long for me to see a person squatting at the gate of the courtyard, looking like Teacher Ouyang.
When I got closer, I realized that it was indeed him, and he was repairing the fence by the light at the door, and he noticed us too, and looked up this way.
He wasn't stupid, he knew it wasn't a good thing to see me like this, so he quickly stood up and walked over to me. Seeing that I was covered in blood, and seeing Xiao Fang's groggy appearance, he was about to open his mouth to ask me.
I gasped for breath as I said to him, "Wolves! There are wolves on the mountain! After that, I hurriedly rushed into the yard with Xiao Fang on my back, and I relaxed a little. Xiao Fang felt me stop, and slowly got off my back, standing on the ground, I quickly supported her. She was still very weak.
Teacher Ouyang also rushed over, looked at the two of us, and hurriedly asked, "Where are you injured?" Bitten by a wolf? ”
I shook my head and said, "No, I beat it to death, it's its blood." After saying that, I reacted a little regretfully, how could an ordinary person beat a wolf to death so easily? But Teacher Ouyang may also be very nervous, and he didn't think about it so much, he asked again: "Then what's wrong with Xiao Fang?"
I said in my heart that I can't say that she collapsed like this after she started her work, but she could only ... With a turn of his mind, he said to him, "Ah, it's not a big problem, it's just that I'm scared by a wolf."
On the other hand, I turned to Xiao Fang and said to her, "Don't be afraid." We're back. ”
She smiled and nodded at me, Teacher Ouyang saw that she was fine. Let her go back and rest first.
We sent her to the door of the girls' dormitory, she waved her hand, meaning that it was not a big problem, she could go in by herself, and Teacher Ouyang told her: "You go in and talk to the captain of the girls, check the number of girls, and many people will lock the door." Xiao Fang nodded, turned around and entered the door.
There were only two people left in the yard, me and Mr. Ouyang, and I hurried to the kitchen to find a faucet and rinse the wounds on my hands.
Teacher Ouyang also followed, looking at my injured wound. As I washed, I said, "It doesn't matter, it's all made of stone."
He may have come back to his senses by this time and asked me, "Did you really kill a wolf?"
"Yes, the body is still on the mountain, you can find it tomorrow."
He nodded: "Sure enough, the power of love is huge. We have to find it, this is a wild protected animal, we have to bury it as soon as possible, and it will inevitably cause more trouble if the people know it. ”
I nodded, thinking to myself that I hadn't thought of this earlier. But I also told him about my concerns: "I've heard that wolves are social animals, and if we run into one, there should be more around."
He nodded, "Well, I thought of it too, but this is really the first time we've encountered a wolf, and they haven't mentioned it before." I'm going to tell them tomorrow morning that they can't run around. When they went to work, there were so many people that they didn't dare to come. ”
I washed my hands and wiped them with the wine I found in the kitchen, and there was no gauze or cotton, but I saw that I didn't bleed much, so I went straight to bed.
When I got up the next day, the fact that I killed a wolf had become a "legend", and as soon as I walked to the dinner table, a senior girl asked excitedly: "Senior, did you really kill a wolf?"
I don't know if it was Xiao Fang or Teacher Ouyang who said it, I raised my right hand: "Oh, I'm also seriously injured, okay, don't go out at night."
Unexpectedly, they were actually exclaimed, and they didn't pay attention to my kind advice, and just kept asking how Yunyun was killed.
I told them the story while looking around, but I didn't see Xiao Fang. Hasn't she gotten up yet? Just thinking about it, I saw that she changed into clean clothes and walked in, and her spirit had completely recovered.
When the elementary girls saw her coming, they pushed her to sit down next to me, which made her quite shy. She looked at my hand and asked, "Is it okay?" I shook my head and helped her get the dishes and chopsticks.
Teacher Ouyang told everyone a few words during the meal, and in the past two days, you must go together in a large army.
After eating, he took a few boys with me and went up the hill to bury the wolf. However, when we cautiously walked to the place where we fought last night, we found that there was still blood on the ground, and there was a lot of splashing around, but the wolf was gone.
I thought to myself, good guy, you can't fight like that and you won't die, right?
They were all puzzled, only Teacher Ouyang walked to the side of the pool of blood, observed it carefully, and began to mumble: "The blood is all here, it didn't flow elsewhere, it should have died here, but what about the corpse?"
I also got a little closer to see if there were any other footprints around, such as the one that could take the wolf carcass away, but this one was more dangerous.
We looked around, confused, and Teacher Ouyang said, "Forget it, let's go back, maybe it was taken back and stewed by the villagers."
"You can eat wolf meat, huh?" A boy next to him asked.
"Nonsense, it's not dog meat, it's more lean meat than dog meat." The other replied.
"Tsk, that's a pity, I didn't give us a mouthful."
Teacher Ouyang glanced at them and scolded with a smile: "I haven't eaten meat for a few days, what are you two hungry for?"
They ignored Teacher Ouyang, and came over to me and said, "Brother Hua, in the future, you will be more powerful, even if you don't fight wolves, it's good to beat two hares to satisfy our hunger."
I shook my head helplessly and didn't say anything. My fear is that someone won't get the wolf over and report it, and then someone will check me.
However, this matter is over for the time being, and my "injured hands" can no longer work, so it is logical to be lazy. Following the large army to the construction site, I lurked in Xiao Fang's exploration. With a cool hat, I found a shady corner, and began to chat with her, occasionally going over to help her pour some dirt.
We talked a lot, but the most important thing for me was when I asked her, "Are you really going to do this all the time?"
She thought for a moment and smiled again, "I don't know, but I don't seem to know anything else now."
The reason why this question is important to me is because unless she gets mixed up and becomes a leader, she is almost always outside, in that case, even if we can be together and get married, then she will not be at home most of the time. And I have completely given up this career from my heart, and I have begun to hope for a stable life, and a stable life with her.
Fortunately, her attitude is not absolute. Besides, with the identity of a graduate student from a prestigious school, it is not difficult to find a good job, and you can consider it again in the future.
After dinner that night, we didn't go out on a date again, and it was true that because the neighborhood was not safe, she went back to the dormitory to rest first.
I saw that there was nothing else to do, so I just blew the wind in the yard to ventilate the wounds on my hands, and it was said that this would get better faster.
I didn't blow it for a while, Teacher Ouyang walked out of the room with various tools, and when he saw me standing aside, he beckoned to me and said, "Xiao Zhou, come and help."
I don't know what he's going to do, let me, the wounded, go and work?
But I walked over anyway, and he actually asked me to help him fix the fence. In his words, when you build such a fence wall, you want to have three hands, two of which are held in place, and the other hand is started to twist wires or nails. Yesterday no one helped him, he used both hands and feet. It should be very funny to think about it, but unfortunately I didn't see it in a hurry.
The students went to the dormitory after eating, and went to bed after tidying up, and for them, the physical work of Jinshi was still very tiring. So soon there were two people left, me and Mr. Ouyang, and I acted as his "third hand", helping him hold on to some wood.
"How's it going yesterday?" He didn't look up the fence, so he asked me this.
"Progress ......" Before I could figure out how to answer him, he continued: "I tell you, I can see that she is also interesting to you, and you are the most promising."
"Oh? Why? ”
"I was her mentor, and when I was in the school, she usually spent a lot of time working in my lab. This girl is smart, and her temperament is also good, which is indispensable for suitors in the school, and I know that there are several of the same major, but she is very cold, and there are rich sons and brothers in other majors, and there are powerful people in the family, but she ignores them. I used to persuade her to find a good boyfriend sooner, but she said she didn't want to be in a relationship. To be honest, when you came that day, I saw her eyes and knew that you were not an ordinary person. If she can let you stay with her all day long, you will already be very dramatic. ”
I was amused by his words, whether it was true or not, the conclusion of the judgment was quite accurate. I smiled and said to him: "She already said yesterday that she was willing to understand me, and I also think I am quite playful." But I'll be honest don't be angry, I don't want her to be a gold stone all the time. ”
"I understand why I'm angry, it shows that you really have your future in mind. To be honest, I've been doing it for so many years, and I haven't made much of a name, but I don't go home all year round, and my family is counting on my daughter-in-law to take care of me. If I could go back to when you were your age, I wouldn't do this. ”
His heartfelt words touched me very much, I didn't expect to meet such an elder this time. And if Xiao Fang and I really become it, he will also have a lot of credit.
