Chapter 6 Wolf Siege
A farce ended with Chen Xuanwu's two boxes of dowry, as soon as Du left, Fang Jin couldn't explain now, she never told Chen Xuanwu that she was Jin Niang, but she felt that Chen Xuanwu should have guessed it a long time ago, otherwise how could he be so good to himself, but since Chen Xuanwu knew that he was his daughter-in-law, would he let himself go down the mountain?
"I, I ......" Fang Jin didn't know how to talk to him, looking at his appearance, it seemed to be a little different from usual, and he was more serious, probably blaming himself for why he deceived him.
Chen Xuanwu put down the hoe in his hand, turned his head, and a pair of dark pupils were bottomless, "This mountain is deserted, I don't blame you." But right now, the world is chaotic, so it's okay to be quiet. ”
It turned out that it was not a peaceful and prosperous world outside, Fang Jin sighed, "Since you gave me a bride price, then you are really my father-in-law." ”
Going down the mountain is also a dead end, looking at Chen Xuanwu in front of him is quite reliable, it is better to settle down first, it is better than enduring the cold and starving in the Fang family.
Chen Xuanwu's savings over the years were scavenged by the Du family, looking at the empty home, Fang Jin was worried, "It's going to be winter, what are we going to eat?" ”
She thought that Chen Xuanwu must hate herself to death, if it weren't for her, Chen Xuanwu would not have fallen to this, the day after tomorrow will be colder and colder, and the days will be more sad, it is difficult to say whether he can survive this winter.
Chen Xuanwu changed into a pair of thick boots, and the upper body was a short jacket sewn by roe deer skin, "This is for you, in two days, there will be frost in the mountains, and the weather is cold, you can't stand it." ”
Fang Jin was holding the fur vest, the needlework on it was slightly rough, it should have been sewn by Chen Xuanwu himself, "You haven't answered my question yet?" ”
Chen Xuanwu's eyes were filled with shallow worry, and he looked at the gray sky outside the house, "I'll go into the mountain and take a look." ”
Only then did Fang Jin notice the bow and arrow on his back, on this day, most of the animals in the mountain had entered the cave, and they could only try their luck, if they encountered jackals, tigers and leopards, they might be in deep danger, "I'll go with you." ”
Chen Xuanwu just wanted to say something, but when he saw Fang Jin's firm eyes, he swallowed his words back, and only held back a good word.
"This short dagger for self-defense, in case I can't take care of you, you should be careful yourself." Chen Xuanwu's eyes exuded a keen look that belonged to a hunter, and there was a thick layer of cocoons at the tiger's mouth in his hand, which should be caused by years of stretching the bow, and the longbow was in his hand, which seemed to be in his hand.
Fang Jin weighed the short dagger in his hand and nodded in a daze.
Chen Xuanwu closed the fence outside the courtyard, and there were still a few before dark, and took Fang Jin into the mountain together.
The mountain road was slippery, much colder than the bottom of the mountain, Fang Jin was fortunate to have a short jacket on his body to keep out the cold, otherwise he was so cold that he shivered and had nowhere to shout, Chen Xuanwu squatted on the ground, as if he had discovered something.
"What are you looking at?"
Fang Jin looked at the swarthy dirt and couldn't see anything except a few yellow leaves, and he didn't know how Chen Xuanwu observed so attentively.
Chen Xuanwu twisted a little soil, sniffed it carefully, and his face was as calm as water, "It's a trace left by a wild deer, and today's luck is not too bad, maybe you can meet it." ”
He straightened up, made up his mind, and walked through the bushes in front of him into the woods.
Fang stopped, the light in the forest was dim, standing outside, she could feel the gloomy cold air inside, and she could faintly hear a strange and sharp cry, she couldn't tell what kind of animal it was, just listening to it made her heart furious, "Be careful, I'll stand here waiting for you." ”
"You're standing here, I can't take care of you, it's even more dangerous." Chen Xuanwu turned his head with an indifferent expression, except for calmness, he couldn't see any superfluous expression.
When Fang Jin heard this, he looked around again, the gray sky felt like it was about to press on the top of his head, and the mountain road was dangerous and rugged, "You wait for me!" ”
She did not hesitate to catch up and followed Chen Xuanwu into the woods.
A high-achieving student in the 21st century never thought that one day, he would live a savage-like life in this deep mountain and old forest, with rice to be planted by himself and wild boars to be caught by himself.
After walking less than a mile, Chen Xuanwu's footsteps slowed down suddenly, squatting on the ground, Fang Jin followed, only to find that there was a wild deer lying in the grass with only the remains left, the venison had been eaten cleanly, a trace of ominous premonition flashed in her heart, and she saw that Chen Xuanwu's face was not very good, "What is this, ...... to eat?"
I had only seen such a scene in the animal world before, and when it really appeared in front of her, the strong smell of blood made her stomach churn, and she dared to speak only when she was uncomfortable.
"It's a wolf."
Chen Xuanwu spit out two words unhurriedly.
Hearing this, Fang Jin grabbed Chen Xuanwu's sleeve, held his snort, and looked around carefully, "This wolf shouldn't have gone far yet." ”
"Wolves have always hunted in packs, let's go back first, it's not too early today." Fang Jin was in awe of the ground under his feet, after all, in a group of wolves, how could the two of them be able to fight each other?
Chen Xuanwu looked sideways, and the antlers of the wild deer were cut off and tied around his waist, "You still understand this." ”
"I've just heard of it." Fang Jin touched his head, at this moment, he didn't dare to relax a bit.
Chen Xuanwu breathed a long sigh of relief, his pace was steady, the bow in his hand was also held tighter, and his voice was solid and powerful, "You follow me." ”
Fang Jin's eyes always fell on Chen Xuanwu, very close to him, except for the night he rescued her, the two of them had never had such intimate contact, she was beating a drum in her heart, but she didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that she would invite the wolves because of her own movements.
However, things always backfired, and the more Fang Jin was afraid of something, the more he seemed to have something.
A faint sound sounded in the grass not far away, and Chen Xuanwu suddenly stopped and whispered, "Don't move." ”
In the dim forest, the miasma gradually rose, and Fang Jin clearly felt the gaze coming towards her in the grass, she didn't dare to look up, but she was curious about what it was, and looked timidly through the corner of her eye.
The eyes glowed green, and the hungry wolf poked his head out, having been starving for a long time, and the corners of his mouth were drooling, full of joy that he was about to have a full meal.
Not good! Fang Jin was secretly shocked, there was more than one, there were already four or five wolves gathered in all directions of them, they were ready to attack, and when the time came, they pounced on them.
Fang Jin was so frightened that he couldn't speak, Chen Xuanwu protected her behind him, the arrow was already on the string, once the wolves acted rashly, the arrow in his hand would shoot out mercilessly, but two fists were hard to beat four hands, Fang Jin knew that Chen Xuanwu was not three heads and six arms after all, how could he deal with a group of extremely vicious wolves.
Chen Xuanwu stared at the wolves around him intently, and Fang Jin also took out the short dagger from his arms, at this moment, he was more like a burden to Chen Xuanwu, if he didn't care about himself at all, he would be able to get out of the wolf's mouth, "I can handle it." ”
Fang Jin said this, her breath was already empty, and everyone could see that she had been scared to lose her soul, but she was still holding on.
Chen Xuanwu held an arrow in his hand, his forearm was raised with powerful lines, and before Fang Jin could react, the arrow flew out with a "whoosh" and passed through the wolf's neck, and the wolf howled and fell straight to the ground.
The wolves were frightened, let out a terrible howl, and rushed towards Chen Xuanwu, Chen Xuanwu pushed Fang Jin out of the distance, took out the scimitar on his waist, and the wolf who rushed to him was killed by him with a knife and fell to the ground.
Fang Jin grabbed the short dagger in his hand, afraid of a sneak attack by the encircled wolf, and afraid that something would happen to Chen Xuanwu, "Be careful, back!" ”
She exclaimed, Chen Xuanwu was bitten on his calf by the wolf that pounced, and he couldn't move, and in the other direction, a wolf pounced quickly.
Fang Jin saw the gurgling blood flowing from Chen Xuanwu's feet, panicked, and didn't know what to do, Chen Xuanwu bent down and stabbed the dagger into the wolf's back, the wolf howled a few times and fled, the wolf's offensive gradually weakened a lot, and Chen Xuanwu also seemed a little physically exhausted.
The carcasses of several wolves fell to the ground, and the remaining ones disappeared into the dense forest after a while of observation.
Fang Jin hurriedly stepped forward to investigate Chen Xuanwu's injuries, blood gushed out from the wound, and deep tooth marks were clearly visible, "It's okay." ”
"Quick, stop the bleeding for me!" Chen Xuanwu gritted his teeth, his brows were tightly locked, and he didn't dare to make too many movements, for fear of speeding up the speed of blood flow.
Fang Jin tore open a corner of his clothes, "You bear with it." As he spoke, he pressed tightly on Chen Xuanwu's wound, Chen Xuanwu clenched his teeth and didn't scream.
Fang Jin pressed that place to death, the edge of the cloth used to bandage it had been stained red with blood, shocking, all to protect himself, Chen Xuanwu was injured by the wolves, thinking of this, Fang Jin's heart swelled with guilt, but he didn't know how to speak.
I didn't think about it, but Chen Xuanwu opened his mouth first, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry." ”
Xu is face was too ugly to see Fang Jin, and Chen Xuanwu's tone was much calmer, "When the bleeding stops, we'll go back." ”
Chen Xuanwu leaned under a tree, his lips were white, and he couldn't see any blood, Fang Jin didn't dare to look away for a moment, for fear that something would happen to him, "It's all my fault, I can't restrain the chicken." ”
"It's okay, I can handle it alone." There was no hint of blame in Chen Xuanwu's tone, as if he was accustomed to such things.
Fang Jin was embarrassed to look away, feeling more and more guilty, "Go back later, I'll give you medicine." "This wound looks quite deep, and I am afraid that it will become infected just by bandaging it, so I must use some external gold sore medicine.
I don't know if this ancient person had rabies, thinking of this, Fang Jin still felt that he was too worried......
When Fang Jin helped Chen Xuanwu back home, it was already dark, and candles were lit in the house.
Probably Mr. Fire Pot?
She picked up two flints from the stove, put them in her hand and fiddled with them, learning what she usually saw, and hit them a few times, but there was no spark at all.
This makes her difficult, is this flint and steel fake?
