Chapter 66: Fighting a lone wolf in the mountains and forests
Feng Ming's internal injuries really can't be delayed any longer, so she is ready to meet wild beasts when she goes out this time, fortunately, she has been hunting with her father since she was a child, and she is not too afraid of wild beasts in the mountains and forests.
Chun Tao led the way in front, and the two walked for more than an hour, and finally came to the valley that Chun Tao said.
The valley is located in the deepest part of the forest, and the terrain is slightly low, and a steaming spring flows down the winding terrain. It is surrounded by snow and ice, but here the grass is green, the foliage is flourishing, and only traces of falling snow can be seen in some slightly higher places.
Mu Lingkong's face finally showed a little joy, here, you should be able to find herbs.
Over there, Chun Tao had already found her way to the valley and walked into the valley, while telling earnestly, "Here, you have to be in good spirits, when you encounter fierce beasts, everything is under my command, otherwise I may not be able to protect you!" ”
There is a bit of intimidation in these words, she has lived in the mountains since she was a child, and she has a natural intuition for fierce beasts, and if she dares to follow this time, she is naturally sure that she can protect Mu Lingkong and retreat, but she can't see Mu Lingkong's calm appearance, so she deliberately came to scare her.
Mu Lingkong glanced at her lightly, looked up again, and said softly, "You just need to find the medicinal materials you need!" ”
The implication is that she doesn't need protection.
Chun Tao sneered, and didn't say anything more, just waiting to see if there was really a beast, Mu Lingkong was scared and urinated.
When the two of them went down into the valley, they clearly felt the heating rising, and the two of them searched carefully along the shore.
After a while, Chun Tao exclaimed in surprise, "There are herbs here!" ”
I saw that in the stone crevice on the shore, a green herb swayed in the wind. Both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Chun Tao stepped forward to pick herbs and put them in the baggage, and at a glance, he saw a few more.
Just as she was hurriedly collecting medicine, Mu Lingkong behind her suddenly paused, took out the bow and arrow behind her back, and turned around to aim at a boulder.
"At this rate, we will be able to pick all the herbs in less than an hour!" Chun Tao said happily, seeing that there was no reaction for a long time behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Mu Lingkong holding his bow and arrows with a guarded face, and was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Mu Lingkong's expression did not move, "There are wolves!" ”
When Chun Tao heard her say this, she instantly laughed, "I said madam, where is the wolf, why didn't I look at ......it?"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a pair of fierce green eyes in the shadow of the boulder. She stopped talking and reached out to touch the bow and arrow behind her, but heard Mu Lingkong whisper, "Continue to collect medicine, I will deal with this beast." ”
Hearing her say this, Chun Tao's original distrust was unconsciously shaken, and she always felt that her words gave people a kind of unprovoked convincing power.
So he gritted his teeth and squatted down again, but his whole body was tense, and he was obviously on guard.
Just as she was sweating profusely and stuffing herbs into her baggage, a terrible wolf howl suddenly came from behind her, which startled her, and when she turned back with a bow, she couldn't help but be shocked again.
I saw a gray-white wolf about four feet long, lying on the ground and wailing, and between the snow-white belly, most of a bow and arrow was submerged in the abdomen, and only a few snow-white arrow feathers fell outside, and it seemed that he could not survive.
Mu Lingkong pulled out the dagger from his waist, stepped forward steadily, and gave the final blow without hesitation.
The dagger's bright blade illuminated her quiet eyebrows, and the ruthlessness of that moment made Chun Tao couldn't help but tremble, and she asked in a trembling voice, "You, how did you shoot this beast in the belly?" ”
You must know that the weakness of the wild wolf is in the belly, so it protects itself well and will not be easily exposed, even the most spicy hunter may not be able to kill with one blow.
Mu Lingkong took out the dagger, shook off the blood beads on the dagger, and said lightly, "It's just a fluke!" ”
She just didn't retreat the moment the wolf got up, quickly slid under the wolf, and at the same time pulled her bow and shot the wolf in the belly.
She put the dagger back on her waist and walked back to Chun Tao's side, "Fortunately, this is a lone wolf who has been expelled from the wolf pack, otherwise we will have a fierce battle today!" ”
Chun Tao slowly moved her gaze back from the wolf corpse and asked softly, "Lone wolf?" ”
Mu Lingkong raised his eyebrows, "The wolf has many claw scars on his body, and the speed is much slower, I am afraid that he was driven out by the wolves, and he recovered from his injuries." ”
Chun Tao nodded, and Mu Lingkong pointed at the burden, "How many have you picked?" We're going to hurry, I'm afraid the smell of blood will attract other beasts! ”
"Okay, I'll speed up," unconsciously, Chun Tao restrained some of her previous arrogance, almost a little restrained.
Fortunately, after the two of them finished picking all the herbs, no other beasts appeared. The two of them went back the way they came.
When they arrived at Chun Tao's house, it was already past noon, and Chun Tao's father was repairing the fence in the yard, and Feng Mingzhen was standing on the side, his face full of interest.
When he saw Mu Lingkong, his originally faint expression instantly brightened, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he smiled, "Where did you go to play when you went out so early?" ”
Before she could reply, she saw the blood stains on her goose-yellow cuffs, her face changed, and she came to Mu Lingkong almost in the blink of an eye, carefully raised her arm, and asked with a solemn face, "What's wrong?" ”
Mu Lingkong glanced at it with lowered eyes, and said nonchalantly, "Oh, this is the wolf blood that accidentally sticked." ”
Feng Ming really carefully unfastened his bracers, and raised his eyes to look at her, "You went hunting?" ”
Chun Tao hurriedly patted the burden on her shoulder as if she were invited, "Childe, we went to collect medicine for you early in the morning, and we also met a wild wolf, which is really thrilling." ”
Feng Mingzhen checked Mu Lingkong's wrist and confirmed that it was not her blood before he reprimanded in a low voice, "Why are you messing around like this, in the mountains and forests in this weather, wild beasts are ferocious because of the difficulty in foraging, and even experienced hunters dare not go easily, how can you take this risk." ”
Mu Lingkong frowned, "But your injury can't be delayed any longer!" ”
Feng Mingzhen said in a deep voice, "Even if I am injured, I don't want you to risk finding medicine for me, you can be safe this time, but what about next time?" I just hope you don't go anywhere in peace. ”
Mu Lingkong slowly pulled out his wrist from his palm and shook his head, "Feng Mingzhen, I am not a weak woman in your backyard, the truth I have learned since I was a child is to repay kindness and revenge, you are because of my internal injuries, let me watch and do nothing, I can't do it, but thank you for your concern." ”
Feng Mingzhen opened his mouth, and suddenly a sense of powerlessness was born.
Mu Lingkong didn't care about his own safety to collect medicine for him, in fact, he was a little happy in his heart, but he didn't want her to be hurt because of him, it would be more uncomfortable than his own injury, but unfortunately it seemed to have the opposite effect.
