Chapter 32: Defeated

Pu Yingjue quickly slid down from the tree and ran wildly to Er Huang's side, Er Huang's flesh was already blurred, and his stomach had become a bloody dysentery, and the blood was still gushing out. Er Huang threw the little warmth left in his eyes at his master.

Pu Yingjue took off his outer padded jacket in a panic and wrapped it tightly around Erhuang's belly, but to no avail, the blood was still gushing out, and the padded jacket soaked through after a while. Erhuang's mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say a final goodbye, but there was only a faint ** sound, and the eyes looking at Pu Yingjue were becoming more and more blurry, his pupils were gradually dilating, and the corners of his eyes were flowing out of the corners of his eyes.

Pu Yingjue's heart was like a knife, his eyes were blurred, and his hand was still tightly pressed against Erhuang's wound. Wolves howled in the distance, perhaps drawn to them by the sound of fighting and the smell of blood. Rhubarb came over with a low whimper, arched Pu Yingjue with his body, squatted down his front legs in front of Erhuang, pushed Erhuang with his head, and licked away his tears with his tongue. Erhuang tried his last strength to "woo" twice, and then kept trembling.

Pu Ying endured the pain and touched Erhuang's head with his hand again, which was regarded as a final farewell, and then quickly pulled out the dagger and inserted it into Erhuang's throat without hesitation, Erhuang's trembling finally ended after a few convulsions. Pu Yingjue let out a low, mournful roar, and Rhubarb stared at Erhuang's corpse tightly, letting out a long, poignant whimper.

The howls of the wolves are getting closer and denser, which is a signal that the wolves are about to gather. Pu Ying hastily buried Erhuang, didn't say anything, just said in his heart: "Erhuang, I owe you, if there is an afterlife, I will be a dog, you will be a man, and I will take care of the family." In the end, he did not forget to curse those wild wolves and said: "A group of shameless people, I know that I will hunt you one by one when you are in danger and take advantage of the fire to rob." ”

Pu Yingjue led Rhubarb to leave here quickly before the wolves arrived, holding torches and continuing to run along the river, getting farther and farther away from the wolves, his mood calmed down a little, and he found a big tree by the river to rest. At this moment, Pu Yingjue found that his right calf had a piercing pain, and when he touched it with his hand, the thick cotton pants had been torn in half, and the area around the leg pants was already full of water.

The tense heart suddenly relaxed, and the exhaustion spread throughout the body, and it didn't matter what the pain was. Lacking a jacket to protect against the cold, the late autumn mountain wind slowly soaked to the bones, but this could not stop the eyelids from drooping, Pu Yingjue hugged his arms tightly and curled up in his sleeping bag, and occasionally made the sound of teeth clashing.

At dawn, the fiery red sphere floated among the mountains in the distance, and a small river meandered forward, a picturesque scene, but at this moment, Pu Ying had no elegance to appreciate the gifts of nature. The whole body was trembling, the right calf was already swollen, and the pain of pins and needles came from time to time, and a seven or eight inch long opening was clearly visible, and the wound had begun to suppurate and flow overnight.

The rising sun did not bring any hope, Pu Yingjue felt helpless and hopeless, he knew that this journey was about to end, he might have a high fever due to the wind cold, or the wound infection, the cold wind shot in all over his body, and the upper and lower teeth fought more fiercely.

Pu Yingjue stood on the branch of the tree and looked at the mountains in the distance, looking up to the sky and sighing. I examined the wound again, and carefully reviewed the scene of last night's fight, most likely it was cut when I slid down the tree trunk in a panic, but I was unaware of it because of my grief and high emotional tension, and this is the case, and no miracle can happen. Pu Yingjue slowly slid to the ground, found some extremely ordinary anti-inflammatory herbs around, chewed them and lay down on the wound, and cut off a branch as thick as a thumb to use as a crutch to move forward.

Pu Ying walked back along the river step by step, and walked to the place where the muntjac deer was hunted yesterday, and was stunned for a moment, wanting to see Erhuang again, but he still dispelled this idea, afraid that sadness would come to his heart again. Moving on, in a clearing, knee-deep dead grass lay on the ground, and thorn bushes and shrubs were also washed into a mess, which showed that there was also a tragic fight here last night. Rhubarb barked at the corpse of an animal not far away, Pu Ying staggered forward and fixed his eyes, it turned out to be the corpse of a black bear, but the scene was already a mess, and the internal organs of the black bear had long been missing. Pu Yingjue used a wooden stick to provoke the black bear's drooping belly, and found a three-inch arrow under the belly, which was sure to be the black bear last night.

It was the group of coyotes last night who came to take advantage of the excitement and copied everywhere, but in the end they were going to leave in disappointment. Coyotes happened to encounter injured black bears on the way back, perhaps in normal times, they would not dare to approach the black bears, or even take a detour, at this moment, the nature of taking advantage of the fire to rob once again aroused their greedy desires, and the final result can be imagined.

The corpse of the black bear once again triggered Pu Yingjue's sadness, but there was still a little comfort, and the only remaining impulse made Pu Yingjue pull out the machete, and cut off the front and back soles of the black bear.

Finally returned home, Pu Yingjue staggered in front of the house and became hesitant, and Rhubarb did not bark. Xiao Hei in the yard, with his keen sense of smell, had already noticed that the master was back, standing in front of the wooden fence and barking happily, Pu You also ran to the door, Pu Fei was still watching from a distance, his heart was pounding, but his eyes were full of expectation.

When he saw his father through the wooden fence gate, Pu You was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and he didn't see him for six days, and his father in front of him was in great contrast with the clean and neat in the past, his clothes were ragged and unkempt, and he was holding a wooden stick in his hand, as if his leg was still lame, and the rhubarb next to him was also like leprosy. After being stunned for a moment, Pu You's tears poured out without any scruples, and he quickly opened the door, and asked in a choked voice, "Daddy, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong with your leg? How did you get there these days? Did you find it? "Nervousness erupted with a series of questions.

Pu Ying squeezed a smile and reached forward to touch Pu You's face. His father's trembling hand touched Pu You's delicate and sensitive face, and Pu You was even more sad like pear blossoms and rain.

Pu Yingjue wiped the tears on Pu You's cheeks with the back of her hand, and nodded apologetically to Pu Fei who was not far away, comforting Pu You: "You'er, look, Daddy is not good, silly child, don't cry, Daddy just accidentally scratched some skin." Pu Yingjue tried to shake his arm, and then said: "It's just, it's just that I broke my promise, Fei'er, what Uncle promised you will definitely do." Guiltily, he staggered towards Pu Fei, patted Pu Fei lightly on the shoulder, and returned to his room.

Xiao Hei silently walked to Rhubarb's side, Rhubarb whimpered in a low voice, Xiao Hei seemed to smell blood, a long and miserable whimper echoed in the mountains and forests, I don't know when, "Sister Huang" also came over, licking Rhubarb's head gloomily.

For Pu Yingjue, it was only a momentary thing, but the haze of losing his dog could not be left behind. Later, in his spare time, Pu Yingjue made three pendants with the cut bear claws, which were engraved with "absolute", "leisurely" and "flying", which can be regarded as an unforgettable end to this tragic experience.
