Chapter 100: The Attack of the Wolves
Twenty days after he walked in the desert with Reri, Reli generously exchanged his only two guns for two sets of clothes and a horse with a local woman.
It's too hot in this place, but fortunately, the horses have adapted to the climate and look very healthy. Geri said that he would go hunting to see if he could get a better weapon, and he took his horse to the stream to drink.
Suddenly there was a gunshot from the place where Reri disappeared, and he pulled his horse and walked over with some anxiety, a contestant in local clothes, who was holding a good gun and pointing it at the defenseless Reri, who had found a secret place in front of me, and signaled me not to act rashly.
There was a small crossbow on horseback, which the woman had given me when she saw that it was not safe for me to stay in such a place.
At the moment, there was no longer any need to do more entanglement, and the people nearby would soon rush over when they heard the gunshot, and they turned over and ran over with a sigh of anger, shouting at the horse, and before the man could hear the sound and turn around, he had already aimed at the man's arm and shot it.
The sharp arrow sliced through the man's hand holding the gun, and Reri quickly stepped forward to catch the falling pistol. I was ready to stretch out a hand to Reri, who took my hand and jumped up, despite the gunfire behind him, and slapped the horse.
Running a long way, sitting in a low-lying place resting with some uncomfortable bumps, looking at me in the heat and handing me a kettle that was always full.
"Thanks, no, where are we going next?"
Reli looked around, opened the kettle and drank some casually, and said as he looked around where there was no shelter.
"The rest of the place is no different from the desert, so we need a camel."
Rery was thinking about where he could get the camels, and he rested very uncomfortably.
I don't know when I fainted, and when I woke up, I was in a simple house, and when I walked out, I saw that Reli was talking to an old man with a modest attitude. When Reri saw me come out, he pretended to be happy and came over and hugged me.
"My wife woke up, and I really thank Uncle Zhuoli for his help."
It turned out to be a small camel farm, and the gray-haired old man in front of him was the owner of the place. I also politely thanked the old man and left us for dinner.
It turned out that Reri brought me here after I fainted, and then disguised himself as a local resident, anyway, our clothes at the moment and Reri's familiar local accent actually mixed up like this.
Dinner was simple but hearty, and there was even mutton soup.
Reli handed me a hot lamb soup and handed it to me, remembering his previous name, and whispered with some dissatisfaction.
"You can't find a new identity, just talk about a wife."
When Reli heard this, he pretended to be serious and said at a closer distance.
"No one believes you when you say you're my sister, we don't look alike."
After drinking the mutton soup in a small sip, my body was much more comfortable, and I was actually served another bowl as if I was ready to be supplemented. Thinking that he fainted, he didn't leave me, so he continued to drink.
Reli walked to the old man's side, I didn't know what to say to the old man, the old man refused again and again, and when he saw Reli's insistence, he was a little embarrassed to accept something.
"What did you give that uncle, why didn't he want to."
Reli ate and said in a clear tone.
"I traded the horse for a camel and gave him money for the difference, but he refused to come."
nodded understandingly, and had a new understanding of Reli's character.
The two contestants seemed to be looking for a place to eat, and they happened to walk in and meet us, one of them was a man with a sideways face, as soon as he saw the heat that he didn't care about, he was about to pull out his gun, and was stopped by the man who was quite steady next to him, it turned out that the uncle happened to walk in, thinking that he was afraid of accidentally injuring the innocent.
"Here are some bread and fruit for you to take away, and thank your husband for repairing the house for me."
Uncle's words made me feel for a while that Reli's image had risen a few levels directly, and I was about to say something, when the uncle fell to the ground with a sudden gunshot, and the man who shot was the man before, and he looked at me a little stupidly for accidentally injuring someone.
Guiltily looked at the uncle's injuries, but fortunately, the bullet only grazed his arm.
Filled with anger, he turned to the man, raised his foot and pressed it his knee, the man fell to the table in pain, and stepped on the man's hand with his quick eyes, picked up the fork on the table and hung it neatly on the man's very frightened eyeballs.
"If anything happens to him, I'll make you like him!"
As he spoke, he angrily scratched the man's arm with his fork before letting go of him. Although the man was angry when he saw that he had suffered a loss, he also knew that he could not escape the eyes of the people who monitored the whole process.
Helped my uncle bandage his wounds, and Reli quietly put down all the money on his body before taking me away.
The two were riding on the same camel, the moon had risen, and there was silence along the way.
Reri cleared his throat in an attempt to break the embarrassment.
"I thought you were an embroidered pillow, but you really amaze me."
The corners of his mouth were raised a little unhappily, and he said in a depressed mood.
"I've never liked to hurt anyone, but I've suffered too much humiliation along the way over the years, and I suddenly felt that I was too cowardly to end up here."
If he hadn't been so unaccountable to Lei Lei at the beginning, he wouldn't have stayed in this ghost place. If it weren't for my blind concession to Fu Chengqian, I wouldn't have gotten married and left like that.
"The extremes of things must be reversed."
Reli's brief reassurance made me think about it carefully, and for a long time, I smiled in a good mood.
Yes, that uncle is so kind, but he was accidentally injured by a shameless villain who ignored the rules, how can he not hate. That's why I can't look past it, so I don't like my temperament to do it.
I've been giving in all these years, even if it's a kind of forbearance, but I can't bear it anymore, and it's natural time to break out.
I've never hurt anyone before, but I've been passively caught up in trouble again and again, so why not be really strong and protect yourself.
"Speaking of which, I'm more curious, where did you get the money on you, isn't it forbidden to bring anything valuable and lethal weapons? The contestants are all scanned before they can enter, where are you hiding? ”
When Reli heard this, he was a little displeased and gave me a snap of his fingers, and said in a calm tone.
"Ask the owner of this coat, the money was found in it, and the material of this coat is also good, he is a rich man."
This made me more and more depressed, but in this environment, it is better to think about the useless ones than to think about where to sleep tonight.
"Then where do we sleep tonight, we can't be on the camel all the time."
When Reli heard this, I thought he would make fun of me, but I saw him look around with a serious expression and whispered.
"There are no places to stay nearby, and it is easy to be targeted by potential dangers, and if we are lucky and this camel is also angry, we will be able to get out tomorrow."
As he spoke, Reri double-checked that the two kettles were full of water.
tightened the much larger windbreaker on his body, and when he heard the uncle say that there were wolves in the desert, he also cheered up and stared around.
"You close your eyes and rest for a while, I've slept during the day and I'm still in good spirits, and I'll wake you up in a while."
When Reli heard this, he hesitated for a long time, and really put his heart down and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. It wasn't long before his head rested on my shoulder.
Although I don't like the closeness of the opposite sex, there is nothing I can do at the moment, so I have to continue to look around.
The wolf's cry came from the depths of the desert, and he did not dare to stay longer, but shouted and ran away with his camel. Reli naturally woke up, holding the gun and looking around quietly, afraid of wasting a bullet.
Several wolves stood on the high ground in the distance, and by the bright moonlight, they could see us clearly in the moonlight, and several wolves howled excitedly and rushed down to us. Seeing that there were only ten arrows in the quiver at most, he said nonchalantly to Reli behind him.
"I don't have many arrows, it's a pity that I can't shoot, it's up to you."
Reli listened to the fact that I could still joke with him in such an atmosphere, and said to me in a good mood.
"Just keep an eye on the road, don't knock me down, I can't outrun them."
They are naturally wolves that are getting closer and closer to us.
Rery turned sideways and aimed at the nearest wolf that pounced, knocking him down instantly. The second, the third.
When he was about to say something to me when he was about to deal with the last wolf in Reri, more wolves appeared in the high places.
This time, Reli snorted coldly, couldn't laugh anymore, and watched the wolves running towards us, Reli actually slapped the panicked camel vigorously, rolled over and rolled into the sand, leaving me alone to let the camel run a long way.
Standing on a high place to calm the camel by himself, watching that there are no bullets in the heat of maneuvering with the wolves.
Reli, who had a somewhat crazy expression, ignored the left leg that was bitten by a wolf, and broke the forelimb of a wolf in his hand. He kicked away the wolf on his calf and refused to let go, and kicked the wolf that was approaching him without feeling pain.
He drove the camel to Reri, calmly aiming at the wolf that was most likely to hit, but fortunately he hit one arrow, and quickly put in the second arrow. The rather precise technique made the other wolves look at their own kind who fell to the ground, and have a sense of fear, but they just retreated, staring at us more and more fiercely.
When Reri saw it, I fell off the camel and walked to him, leaned against his back, and pulled out the arrow from the wolf's corpse, Reri looked around with a crazy look, and rushed up without waiting for me to settle the arrow, seven or eight wolves surrounded him, Reri was ruthless this time, and several wolves were kicked by him and couldn't stand up.
Reli made up for it again, and then walked to me with a proud expression, carried me onto the camel, and climbed up himself.
It's just that the wound is a little deep, the blood has been flowing, I don't think much about it, so I have to aggrieved the camel to leave the desert quickly, and if the camel walks, we can get out as soon as tomorrow night, if the camel is running, we can get out at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
In the desert, the temperature rises rapidly during the day, and even the most basic medicinal materials cannot be found in this place, and the wounds in the heat are very deep and cannot be delayed.
When he thought of Reli's wounds, he couldn't bear the camel, and waved his whip to whip the camel.
