Chapter 20 The treacherous climate, the deep forest wolf's den hides children

The sky is getting darker, the shortest trees in the forest are more than ten zhang, it is the height of summer, the dense leaves cover a large area of sunlight, and it seems that the place where a few people walk is much darker.

Shen Yan was chatting with Qiao Er and his son.

"Second Lieutenant Qiao, the props you used to go up the tree just now are really exquisite, and it is the first time in Shen Mou's life that he has seen such a tool used, and people can free their hands after they go up, which is really amazing," Shen said as he walked.

"The carving insect skills, you can't get into the hall of elegance, let Brother Shen smile" Qiao Er didn't say much, and only replied with a match.

There were no words all the way, and when they reached the entrance of the cave at the foot of the mountain, it was almost dark.

"Second brother, it should be here, this cave is big enough, why do you feel that there is a smell here" The hammer walked directly into the cave.

"Well, it should be here, let's go in first, Iron Hammer, prepare something to make a fire" Qiao Er said and walked into the cave.

Wang Tiehammer walked into the cave, by the moonlight, and unloaded the backpack behind him, each time it seemed to be very heavy, took out a few fist-sized white waxy things from it, and took out two round flintstones, the hammer sat on the ground, put the white wax on the ground into the shape of a pyramid, the left and right hands respectively the two flints, lightly hit on it, and the firelight met the white wax object in the air and ignited it directly.

Shen Yan didn't expect to ignite the fire so quickly, Qiao Er didn't look at it, he had already picked up some dry firewood from nearby these times, the flame of this white waxy object was light blue, Qiao Er put the dry firewood, the flame turned fiery red, and the fire burned quickly.

Shen Yan was even more surprised when he saw this scene, and looked at the hammer and said.

"Brother Hammer, what kind of treasure are you, why are you just a little bit, and why is the color of this flame pale blue?"

"Hey, even if you know the goods, this is also a very powerful treasure, hey, let me tell you, this thing is on the black market, but the price is sky-high, do you know" Hammer said as he sat on the ground.

Qiao Er also sat on the ground with his ass.

"Brother Shen, don't listen to him bragging here, but the last time I went down, who knows what kind of strange wax this guy took from which tomb?"

"Oh? Last time I went down, but Dajifeng's tomb? Shen Yan curiously approached to see the wax stone that Wang Tiehammer was fiddling with, and took a closer look, each of them was finely carved, the texture was like jade, and there were some patterns carved on it.

I saw that the corners of Shen Yan's mouth rose slightly, as if he knew this thing, and he was not afraid of the light blue flames on it, so he picked one up and played with it, and his hammer eyes were about to fall out, but he didn't know that this Brother Shen still had such a miraculous skill.

"Brother Shen, you... You're not afraid of hot hands?! Hammer asked, surprised.

"You touch this wax stone again" Wang Tiehammer reached out to touch it again, and the wax stone turned out to be warm and cold. Seeing the unbelievable expression on the hammer's face, Shen Yi smiled and said nothing, as soon as his hands rubbed, the light blue flame came out from the fingers of his palm, and he picked up the wax stone again, only to see that the flames on the wax stone were sometimes purple and green, sometimes faint green. Seeing this, Qiao Erliang couldn't help but think of the incident when Shen Yan used the ring in his hand to shoot flames under the ground of the Afterlife Pavilion.

"This white stone is called jade stone, and the inner core of this stone should be a piece of jade. The outer layer is wrapped in wax oil made from the fat and milk of the breasts of several young girls, and the wax oil is boiled with spices. It was for Nadaji's bathing. Jade is cold by nature, and the flame ring in my hand belongs to fire, and when I encounter this jade stone, the color of the flame will naturally change more.

When he heard that the stone was made of people, he was so frightened that the hammer swallowed involuntarily, and the hand that had touched the stone involuntarily rubbed against his clothes. "Brother Shen... Quite a bit of knowing."

Shen Yi smiled: "I just like to wander around, find some strange things, and listen to some strange things."

"Brother Shen's flame ring is not small," Qiao Erliang thought to himself, this flame ring is an object with the jade stone statue, the jade stone was made by the fat man from Daji's tomb, how did such a delicate and practical flame ring have been passed down for thousands of years?

"Family Ancestor" Shen Wei got up, no longer staying on the topic of flame rings and jade stones, but beckoned the soldiers how to spend the night and prepare food. They had plenty of food left, and one of the soldiers took out some jerky and divided it among the others.

Everyone was eating while listening to Wang Tiehammer's story about the strange things in the underground, and Qiao Er occasionally interjected a few words to make fun of Tiehammer, which caused everyone to laugh. For a moment, the years were quiet, and with the afterglow of the setting sun, it seemed that he had forgotten the purpose of his visit. Qiao Erliang still had a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but look towards Xiao Feiying, and happened to meet Xiao Feiying's gaze "Second Brother"

"What's wrong" Qiao Erliang saw Xiao Feiying frowning, and hurriedly asked.

"Listen, is there any sound?"

Qiao Erliang made a gesture to let everyone be quiet, and followed the eyes of the little flying warbler towards the depths of the cave.

It's like the neighing of a puppy, mixed with the cry of a child. Qiao Erliang walked in with his head down, and found that there was a one-foot-wide gap in the middle of several stones, he picked up the torch and took a photo, and found the source of the sound, there were three little wolves hidden in the stone cave, and there was a stinky baby that had not dried up, and the little wolf squeezed the child in the middle, afraid that he was hungry, so he screamed.

"Second brother, you said that this child, could it be that he was picked up by a wolf?" Xiao Feiying's face was full of worry, looking left and right to find the entrance to enter, at this time, although the little flying warbler in front of him was fake, Qiao Erliang knew in his heart that even if it was a real little flying warbler, he would go to rescue the baby in the wolf's den without saying anything.

The child looked to be a year old, and he didn't feel any fear in this wolf's den, and his body was covered with a little hay, and it looked like an adult wolf was taking care of the child.

Shen Yan and Iron Hammer saw that these two people were not quite right, so they came together to see the situation, Wang Iron Hammer felt novel, and let out a sigh of "ho", and Shen Yan saw this and said: "This must be the child that the wolf brought back from, seeing that this child gets along with the little wolf so well, it must not be eaten by the mouth, but raised as a little wolf."

Qiao Erliang nodded and looked at Xiao Feiying, meaning whether to save the child, but this group of rough old men can't take the child to the grave, it must be a burden. If you save it, you will take care of it carefully, and if you don't save it, you can't bear it. Shaking his head, he sighed again, beckoned the hammer to remove some heavy stones, and reached out to touch the hole.

Xiao Feiying saw Qiao Erliang's hideous expression, as if the little wolf had bitten him, so he asked him what the situation was, Qiao Er shook his head, saying that there was something in the hole, and he couldn't touch it.

At this time, the sky was already completely dark, and the moon and stars in the mountains and forests were clearly visible. Wang Tiehammer scratched his head and said that this big wolf is not in the hole, let's take its child away, will it target us?

Little Flyer patted the hammer's head: "I hope something is good"

Qiao Erliang carefully took the child out, seeing that the child was not crying or making trouble, white and clean, and giggled when he saw them.

"Qiao Erliang, I see that you are quite close to this child, why don't you take it home and raise it"

Qiao Er glanced at him, "You like you to take it away, I don't know how to raise a child like a rough man," and then handed the child to Xiao Feiying and asked her to wrap the child in case it froze.

As the sky outside the cave grew darker and the weather became colder, a thin layer of mist rose in the air. The flames in the cave were fading, and the hammer, which had been sweating profusely a few hours ago, was now shivering from the cold. "Qiao Er, what the hell do you say this weather, it's so changeable"

"It's damp and cold in the south, and it's normal for the sky to change a lot" Qiao Erliang took out his compass and looked at the sky outside. "How does the moon feel smaller and smaller tonight, I remember it was a full moon just now, but now it has become only a crescent moon"

Everyone occupied the magpie's nest for so long, and they didn't see the wolf come back, Qiao Er and the two kept calculating in their hearts, one is that everyone is resting, and the wolf will not be worth the loss if he comes to a sneak attack, and the other is that the baby is crying constantly when he sees the weather getting cold, even if the wolf does not return to the hole, other beasts have to be summoned. Shen Yan, who was sitting at the entrance of the cave, saw that Qiao Er was in trouble, so he said: "I'll keep vigil tonight, everyone will rest early, and we will set off at dawn tomorrow." ”

Qiao Er nodded, thinking that Shen Yan still had to use this team, how could he be willing to let them die. He pretended to be asleep against the wall and observed Shen Yan's every move.
