Chapter 29: The Jackal

When I walked out, I found that I couldn't see my fingers outside. The winter wind was whistling, passing through the surrounding forest, and when it reached Qinghuan's ears, it was already the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling.

She was inexplicably a little frightened in her heart, and held Agu's hand tightly. It would take a while to walk from where they lived to the village. Qing Huan took Ah Gu's hand, followed in fear, and finally walked to a house.

Yuan Chao gently clasped the wood door, and an old woman walked out with a small oil lamp. Qing Huan and the others followed the old grandmother in, and Yuan Chao turned around and went back to pick up Li Yan.

The old grandmother's house was similar to theirs, except for a small bed next to the big bed.

When I chatted with my grandmother at night, I found out that this was where her son used to sleep. Later, his son went to the army and never returned. And the grandmother's husband also passed away a few years ago, leaving the grandmother alone.

Listening to the grandmother talking about the past in a blurred voice, everyone sighed that the world was impermanent.

At this time, they heard a wolf howling outside, which startled both of them. The old grandmother said very calmly: "Don't go out at night in the future, there are a lot of jackals here." “

Qing Huan silently wrote it down in his heart, and everyone didn't speak again.

The room was quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing outside could be heard, and occasionally a few wolf howls could be heard, and there seemed to be some human voices mixed in the middle. Qing Huan didn't really hear it, so he didn't take it to heart.

At this time, Ah Gu suddenly sat up from the bed and said anxiously, "I heard Yuan Chao's voice." Could it be that they met the wolf? “

Get dressed while you speak, and go out. The old grandmother hurriedly stopped her and said vaguely: "It's not a way for you to go out with a girl, you have to find a few more people to go with." “

At this time, Qing Huan also got dressed, followed the old grandmother, walked to the front of the yard, and shouted to the next door.

What came out next door was a middle-aged man, the more anxious the grandmother was, the slower she spoke, and Qing Huan rushed to say: "This big brother, our friend came from over there, I'm afraid I will meet a wolf on the road." Brother Lao went with us to have a look. “

When the middle-aged man heard that he had met a wolf, he was also refreshed. hurriedly went in to wake up his son, lit a torch, and went to several other houses to greet people, and walked together to the road where Qing Huan came.

They walked in the middle, a little anxious. Halfway back, someone saw blood on the road, and a group of people followed the trail into the grass.

I didn't go far and saw a dying wolf, and there were blood stains that stretched all the way to the back.

Someone made up a knife that completely killed the wolf, and then carried it and continued to follow the crowd.

Walking to the back, the grass is a little messy, and at first glance it is a scene of a fight.

Because he never saw anyone, Qing Huan's heart became more and more bottomless, and he didn't know what happened to those two now.

A group of people walked to a place close to the deep forest before finally hearing the voice of a person, and it seemed that the sound was still deadlocked.

Everyone hurry forward. It took a while to finally see the two of them. Li Yan seemed to be seriously injured and leaned against the bottom of a tree. And Yuan Chao was also wounded, and he was in a stalemate with a few wolves on the side.

When they arrived, a wolf had already circled from behind, trying to avoid Yuan Chao's direct sneak attack on Li Yan.

Seeing this, Qing Huan wanted to pounce on it regardless of the situation and block it for Li Yan. At this time, Yuan Chao had already discovered the situation, and turned his head to deal with the wolf that wanted to sneak attack first.

The others drove the remaining wolves away. Qing Huan saw Li Yan's situation through the light of the torch. His cotton pants had been bitten and his teeth were deep and bleeding. There was also a wound on the arm. Yuan Chao's condition was slightly better, with a few injuries but none of them were serious.

The people of the village helped a simple shelf with a tree branch, put Li Yan on it, and prepared to carry it back to the village.

Yuan Chao endured the pain and was still watching from the side. Qing Huan and Ah Gu also walked in the crowd, and no one asked what was going on. Because now is not the time to ask this.

Li Yan was carried directly to the door of an old hunter's house.

When the crowd was noisy before, most people woke up and knew what was going on. The old hunter had his own wound medicine here, so he hurriedly took it out, cleaned Li Yan's wounds, and applied the medicine little by little.

The old hunter said as he put on the medicine: "The jackals here are so powerful, you didn't know when you first came." Don't go out at night in the future. “

Qing Huan hurriedly nodded and said, "What the old man said is that we didn't know it when we first arrived. ”

The old hunter continued: "This wound is too deep, and it will take many days to repair the wounded muscles and bones. Sleep with me tonight. ”

Yuan Chao said gratefully: "Then there is the old man Lao." ”

The old hunter looked up and saw him, "Come here, I see that you have injuries on your body too." ”

"I'm fine."

The old hunter estimated that there was some majesty in this village, so he said in an irrefutable tone, "If you want to come, you will come." ”

Yuan Chao didn't refuse, stepped forward and showed him the wound. The old hunter looked at it, shook his head, and said, "You young people just don't know what to do, and jackals dare to mess with them." ”

Yuan Chao lowered his head and didn't speak, Qing Huan hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, old man, we don't understand the rules." ”

The old hunter was not really angry, that is, he said, "My heart aches when I look at you young people." ”

Li Yan's wound had been bandaged while speaking, and Yuan Chao's wound was also smeared with medicine, and Li Yan had already fainted. The old hunter said, "Let me raise him first." I still have some solutions, old man. ”

Qinghuan and they were naturally grateful.

Yuan Chao sent them out and sent them back to the grandmother's house. On the way, I heard Yuan Chao say: "When I went back, Gongzi had been attacked by wolves, but fortunately there was only one horse." After I killed the beast, another pack of wolves came and forced us into the woods. If you hadn't arrived in time, Madame, I don't know what the consequences would have been. ”

Qing Huan said with some embarrassment: "It was Agu who heard your voice and brought someone there." ”

After speaking, seeing Yuan Chao turn his head and smile brightly at Ah Gu, Ah Gu lowered his head a little embarrassed.

Qing Huan felt more and more that he was a little redundant. I thought in my heart, when my life stabilized, I would find a time to do their happy event.

Lying on the bed, Qing Huan tossed and turned. Agu asked her softly, "Madam, what's wrong?" ”

"Do you know that his previous leg injury was caused by a fall on the mountain to collect medicine that day."

"I haven't heard Yuan Chao say this. Later, didn't Childe still leave like nothing? ”

Qing Huan paused, "It is estimated that it has been delayed for too long, resulting in serious injuries." ”

"That lady ......."

Qing Huan sighed inaudibly and said, "Since it's because of me, then I have to repay this love and take care of him." “

Ah Gu didn't answer immediately, but thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Madam, I see that Gongzi likes to hide everything. Maybe Childe's mind is not what Madame thinks. “

"I don't know what you're talking about. But he didn't look like he wanted me to come closer. Why should I bother? “

After hearing this, Agu gently hugged her and said, "Madam, rest early." Don't overthink it. “

Qing Huan also knew that thinking too much was torturing herself, so she tried her best to drive away those messy thoughts and fell asleep.
