Chapter 18: My Brother
Calmed down and let the blood flow of my numb hands resume, I picked up the dagger and carefully carved it on the stone slab, the name "Chasing the Wind" has been lingering in my heart, I tried my best to stabilize my hands, and slowly carved "Brothers Chasing the Wind's Tomb" on the stone slab.
After carving the stele, I took out the sapper shovel, chose a quiet place, and began to dig a pit on the ground, I was already tired, and every shovel I dug down seemed to drain my strength, plus when I fought with the bear before, I don't know if I was too nervous or too hard, my hands left many wounds, and at this moment the wounds of the hands collapsed, and the blood flowed into the tomb of the wolf king along the sapper shovel drop by drop...
After digging the grave, I rested for a while, and finally had some strength after smoking a few cigarettes, I came to the side of Chasing the Wind, gently picked up its stiff body, and gently put it into the tomb...
"Brother, you go all the way..."I got up and stood in front of the body of Chasing Wind, bent down deeply, and bowed, this is my last farewell.
After tidying up the tomb of Chasing Wind, I came to the pool, cleaned up the blood stains on my body, and the second daughter was ready for dinner...
The three of them sat around the campfire, and no one took the lead in making a sound, just chewing the dry food in their mouths tastelessly...
This is the first time I have lost my brother, and although it is a wolf, I have really come to regard it as my closest brother, and the emotions in it are no different from losing someone.
"Your handโ" Snow Willow still found the wound on my hand.
"Brother..."In early summer, his eye sockets were shallow, and he was about to cry when he saw it.
"The dead live forever, the living continue..."Ruxuan's voice also sounded in her heart.
Yes, life is so fragile, who can not grow old and not die, the people in front of me, the things in front of me are what I should care about, there is still a long way ahead for me, I can't be depressed because of sadness...
"Hehe, I'm fine, it's all minor injuries, skin injuries, don't worry..."I hurriedly squeezed out a smile that wasn't too ugly, and comforted the second daughter softly.
"I was so excited before, I yelled at you, I'm sorry..."Thinking of my previous attitude, I sincerely apologized to the second daughter.
"No, you don't need to apologize, you're a hero, you and Chasing the Wind are both heroes..."Xue Liu was the first to speak, and her beautiful face was looking at her with a firm gaze at the moment.
"Sister Liu is right, you are a hero, you don't need to apologize, you will always be the only hero in my mind, and chasing the wind is also a hero!" Not to be outdone, early summer answered.
"Chasing the wind is a hero, I'm not a hero, I just did what a man should do, but thank you, eat quickly, it's not too early, and I will continue to rush tomorrow" Under the comfort of the third girl, I gradually came out of my sad mood, and the food in my mouth gradually returned to its proper taste.
After the meal, at the strong request of the second daughter, I still insisted on giving medicine to my hand, I didn't want to deal with it, but the reason of the two was that what should we do if you were injured, thinking about it or not refusing again, it is indeed also, if the trip after that, if you encounter something again, there is an injury that is always in the way, so the two of them are responsible for one hand, gently smearing the wound medicine to me, and the eyes are full of love, such treatment, this injury on the hand is not harmful at all...
In just two days, I have experienced life and death together, yes, it's still a tent, or three people sleeping together, but there is still no tension like yesterday, next to me is still Snow Willow, but chasing the wind and leaving, I can't have superfluous thoughts about the beauty on my side in my heart...
"Let's sleep..."Ruxuan's voice was like a sleeping pill, and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep
The next day, early in the morning, as soon as the sun showed my head, I got up, a slight noise, or woke up the second daughter, the three of them ate some things at random, packed up, and came to the tomb of chasing the wind together...
"Salute...", this time it was Snow Willow who spoke
Xue Liu saluted to the tomb of Chasing Wind, and Chu Xia also bowed deeply on the side, and the three of them embarked on the journey again.
This time, I didn't let the wolves follow me again, they had done enough for me, and I couldn't bear to let them do anything for me anymore.
Without the wolves to find their way, the speed of travel was naturally a little slower, but they still reached their destination before lunch.
The soul fixer in his hand swayed desperately...
"Ruxuan, is this it?" I meditated in my heart.
"Yes, that's it, my bones are down there" Ruxuan's voice finally had a hint of excitement
In front of you is a huge deep pit, more than 100 meters wide, 30 or 40 meters left, there is no grass and trees around the deep pit, you can obviously feel a chill when you approach the deep pit.
"Let's set up camp here, I'll go down in a while, bring out Ruxuan's remains, you wait for me above, if you leave early tomorrow, you should be able to return to the village before dark" I said to the second daughter as I unloaded my equipment.
I didn't know the road when I came, plus I saved the wolf, the war bear and other reasons, delayed the trip, I made a mark along the way, and I should be able to arrive in a day if there is no accident when I go back.
I quickly untied the climbing rope, tied one end to a big tree not far from the entrance of the cave, and threw the other end into the hole.
"Be careful, we'll wait for you to eat," the second daughter said almost in unison.
"Don't worry, it's a piece of cake," I replied proudly.
We're waiting for you to eat, it's not like two little ladies waiting for their husbands to go on their expeditions, I'm obscene again...
Why the Expedition? Putting away my thoughts, I put on my headlamp, buckled the safety buckle and slowly slid down the hole...
Before my grandfather threw me into the mountains for training, I have always been asked to go south, this is a hard rule, the awe and feelings for my grandfather, so that I have never deviated from the route, I have really not been to the west, not as rich in resources as the south, there are many animals, on the contrary, after leaving the wolves, there are no longer any large wild animals, just small birds and small beasts...
The temperature inside the cave is extremely low, and the lower it goes, the lower the temperature, and this chill does not seem to come from the outside in, but directly hits the body, as if it is not the body that is cold, but the soul...
Be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, I didn't dare to descend too fast, and after descending a few meters, I saw the appearance of the cave clearly, this is an underground karst cave, and there is still a long way to go, fortunately, the terrain under my feet is relatively flat, and I saw that it was only more than ten meters, so I accelerated a little.
The plan is not as fast as the change, looking at the solid rock wall, I actually stepped through it after I dropped a few meters, my whole body lost balance, let the rope drag and swing in mid-air, just like this for a few rounds, when I was about to stabilize my body, the rope was actually broken by a few sharp stones raised from the rock wall...
"Slap..."Under the pull of the weight, the sound of the rope breaking was extremely harsh, and there was no time to react.
"Your uncle's..."I only heard the wind whistling in my ears, and a complaint just came out, and it was the violent collision between me and the ground.
"Bang..."I landed on my back, there was a muffled sound, and the sharp pain in my body made me unable to make a sound at all, and I fainted.
In a trance, I seemed to hear someone call my name, I opened my eyes in a blur, it was already dark, with the moonlight, I could vaguely see two figures at the entrance of the cave, it was Snow Willow and early summer, it was strange to say, since I entered the cave, I never heard Ruxuan's voice again...
"Ahh
This pain also completely sobered me up, I was busy adjusting the headlamp, after fiddling with one side, fortunately, the headlamp turned on again, I saw something that pierced my palm, it was a pile of white bones...
"I'm fine...", the echo from the cave allowed me to respond to the second daughter's call without making too much noise.
I didn't dare to move, I wasn't sure of my injuries at the moment, I only dared to move my limbs and head slowly, and after confirming that there were no fractures, I slowly stood up...
"It's not very high..."I looked up and saw that the rope was broken, about five meters from the ground, and reconfirmed that there were no other wounds on my body, it was just the impact of the landing that caused me to faint.
"I should be able to climb out, you guys are waiting for me above, don't worry" After confirming the situation, I hurriedly sounded to comfort the second daughter above my head.
"There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to break into..."
"Boss, it's been a long time since I've eaten human flesh..."
"Yes, boss, this is still a child..."
"It's a big supplement..."
A series of eerie voices rang in my ears, and the experience of this time told me that I had broken into the haunt's den...
Sure enough, when I looked up, ten steps away, there were dozens of ghosts standing, with hideous and terrifying faces, and if I saw a lot, I would know what a ghost was, if it was three days ago, I would have thought that this was a bandit somewhere...
"What do you want..."If the other party is a human, I may be able to kill a bloody path, but the other party is a ghost, whether it is the number or my half-hung Dao method, I can't compete with it, and instinct drives me to ask this redundant question
"Of course I ate you, such a perfect body, such a pure soul, I haven't met you since that college student, it must have been twenty years..."One of the fierce-looking ghosts took two steps forward and said with a sad face.
University student? Twenty years? Are they talking about Ruxuan?
The disgusting faces in front of me, and the contempt they gave me in their words, completely infuriated me, and anger immediately replaced that trace of fear...
Grandpa said that people are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts are afraid of people for seven points...
Thinking of this, I immediately opened up my aura, raised my head with my chest straight, did not retreat but advanced, and walked three steps towards the ghost.
"Oh? Then we'll see if you have the ability...", I put away the fear in my heart and asked with a righteous rhetoric.
"Yo...", the ghost boss responded with seemingly contempt, but in fact, I knew that I had won in momentum, because I could clearly see him take half a step back.
The ghost behind him has no arrogance that he was eager to try just now.
"Then don't blame me for being rude..."The ghost boss pretended to be calm and wanted to regain some face.
Grandpa is right, the average ghost really doesn't have a high IQ, although they have a lot of ghosts, but I was framed by me...
"Little ones, on..."The ghost boss is not very stupid, I know that he wants to test my strength, and I also know to protect myself and let the little ones go.
But right now, no imp dares to come forward...
"I'll meet you..."Just as I was secretly rejoicing, a ghost in a tunic stepped forward...
What's the matter? Am I in a tunic suit?
