Chapter Seventy-Three: The Journey of Death: The Screams of the Taoist Temple
Dongfang Youyu sat next to me expectantly, waiting, and she suddenly threw out a question: "Can't those wolves smell that this is wolf meat?" I'm afraid they'll be scared to come over when they sniff out. ”
I lit a cigarette and explained unhurriedly: "The biggest difference between beasts and humans is that they follow the instincts of beasts at all times. In our village. There is a man who specializes in dog fighting, he is a big boss, and he has built a big house in the village and does not live in the door to raise dogs. There are Caucasian dogs, Tosa, Tibetan mastiffs. After throwing it in, he doesn't care anymore, and when he comes back half a month later to see which dog is still there, it will be his new fighting dog and bring him rich benefits. The beast doesn't care what it eats, it only cares if it fills its stomach. Not to mention, if you starve people crazy, you will also eat people, let alone wolves. ”
Dongfang Youyu exclaimed: "It's so cruel, you actually train fighting dogs like this." ”
"It's okay......" I saw movement in the weeds on the opposite side, so I quickly picked up the egret bow and muttered softly, "After leaving the mountain village and coming to the city, I found that the powerful and powerful like to play with people like to play with animals. It feels more cruel. "There's blood in my mouth.
A wolf sprang out of the weeds on the other side, and when it came out, it watched us vigilantly, and I drew my bow at it and waited for it to let its guard down. The Egret bow is difficult to pull, and the Mediterranean style draw bow is not suitable for the Egret bow, so I can only use the Mongolian Shila bow, which makes my thumb hurt.
The wolf, who was probably hungry, was not too frightened to see that there was a river between us, and began to devour the flesh of the earth. I let go of the bowstring, and the arrow flew out, literally piercing its head. After all, the river is only about ten meters away, and it is too easy to shoot.
The wolf fell to the ground on the spot, and Dongfang Youyu shouted for joy, and I swam over to take off the wooden card, cut new pieces of meat and put it on the shore, and dragged the wolf's carcass over.
Dongfang Youyu looked at me almost with starry eyes, and she said excitedly: "Jiang Cheng, I found that your archery is different from others. I've been to the archery range to play, when you shoot arrows, you have to adjust the bow first, and measure the angle, but you can shoot the bow casually, and it is important to shoot so accurately. Your arrows are so fast, my coach's arrows are not as fast as yours. ”
I threw the wolf carcass into the grass and whispered, "I'm not good at archery, but only when there's a hunter in the village." He once came back from a wild boar hunt, and an arrow shot through the boar's head, which was directly a hole. The wild boars in the mountains are as hard as armor. Ordinary people don't have that ability. The kind of bow you mentioned, a high-level member of the Yuanmen once got it for me, and it was very precise. That's the biggest difference between the two kinds of people, we play with the bow as we want, but you have to follow the bow every step of the way. ”
"How do you sound like a realm." She scoffed.
I smiled, sat by the river and played with the wolf's legs, cut off a piece of meat with a dagger and threw it to Dongfang Youyu, she was so hot that she fluttered twice with her hands, and then took a careful bite, frowned and said, "It's not delicious." ”
"Just have meat to eat, do you want me to get some salt and spices?" I rolled my eyes and said.
She grinned, and began to eat meat again, choking on it, and hurriedly went to pour two mouthfuls of river water.
When we had our fill, there was another movement in the grass opposite. This time, two wild wolves came with them, and when they saw us on the other side of the river, they immediately bared their fangs and let out a threatening roar.
Dongfang Youyu was frightened, she asked with a pale face: "What should I do, I can only shoot one at most, and the other one will definitely escape, if it goes to ventilate and report the news......"
Hearing the word "ventilation message", I couldn't help but smile: "It's okay, step back with me, remember to look at their eyes back." ”
Dongfang Youyu was a little puzzled, but still did it. She trembled with fear from the wolf and retreated into the grass with me. I whispered, "Watch your ass." ”
"Ass?"
Dongfang Youyu was wondering, I suddenly tripped my foot on her leg, and she immediately fell to the ground, and I quickly ran into the grass.
When the two wolves saw this, they did not hesitate at all, and immediately swam into the water and swam towards us. Dongfang Youyu cried and screamed in pain, touched his nose and scolded me with tears, struggling to get up, crying non-stop. Maybe too nervous, she got up and fell again, got up and fell again.
But I had already taken refuge in the grass and drew my bow, and shot an arrow at the slower swimming wolf.
When the arrow was shot into the river, the wolf was like drowning, fluttering and struggling in the water, and it was estimated that the arrow was shot in its stomach, and the blood stained the river red. The other wolf didn't react yet, and still swam towards us.
Naturally, it could swim far less fast than it could run on land, and I patiently fired another arrow, this time through the head.
I said with satisfaction, and when I walked out of the grass, Dongfang Youyu finally got up. She hit me on the shoulder with a red nose and scolded, "Shameless! Rogue! Dead perverted! Bedbug! You chicken-headed duck-headed dinosaur! Abu! Abu! Abu! ”
I don't understand what Abu means, anyway, Dongfang Youyu keeps crying and saying Abu, which is probably a mantra.
"What are you worried about......" I said with a wry smile as I tapped her on the head with my hand, "I scared you, I'll go get the wooden sign." ”
"Woo woo woo ......"
She cried and nodded, and I reluctantly swam into the river to pick up two wooden plaques, ready to drag the two bodies back.
Dongfang Youyu wiped his tears and waited for me to come back, and just as I swam to the middle of the river, Dongfang Youyu suddenly exclaimed: "Be careful! ”
I quickly turned my head and couldn't help but tremble. At this moment two more wolves sprang out of the grass, and they were looking at me fiercely.
It's coming so fast!
"Don't panic...... "I tried to compose myself, and said quickly, "they can't swim as fast as I do, you have your bow and arrows ready." ”
Dongfang Youyu took out a large handful of bows and arrows from my backpack in a panic, and I swam desperately towards the shore, and when I was about to swim to the shore, I didn't see the wolves chasing after me, and the two wolves were still standing in place.
Suddenly, they rushed back into the grass and disappeared without a trace. Seeing this, I said disappointedly: "It's over, I guess I didn't dare to come over when I saw the carcasses of other wolves, and then go to the ventilation and report as you said, wait, our prey will be reduced today." ”
Dongfang Youyu breathed a sigh of relief, and she comforted and said, "It's okay, we already have five wooden cards, and we are definitely the first." There are still five days and six nights, so there is no hurry. ”
"Hmm."
I sat down by the fire to keep warm, took out a cigarette and lit it, and said softly: "At night, I put the wolf's heads in a row, which can have a deterrent effect, and I guess those wild wolves will not dare to come." Tonight we are hunting ghosts outside, and if we can avoid the living, we will avoid them, since there are many ghosts here, it means that the Taoist temple is not peaceful. ”
Dongfang Youyu said yes, and then she diligently went to catch a lot of wild grass to make a bed, and said that she would sleep for me at night. I guess this girl is under my protection, and she really treats her life here as camping.
She made the bed, lay down comfortably on it, and said happily: "Jiang Cheng, since I was born, I have always felt that my brother is the most powerful person in the world. All the elders in the family were willing to teach him Taoism, and he also rose to prominence all the way, and I regarded him as an idol from childhood to adulthood. Now that I meet you, I feel that he is far inferior to you. If only my parents could see you, so manly. ”
I slowly cut the wolf's head and said with a wry smile: "It's not interesting to see, your Dao talent is too high, and your family is estimated to be powerful." When the time comes, they will see a local turtle who is dressed in a fake brand-name stall and will never touch vegetables if he can eat meat, I am afraid that he will dislike you for recognizing people indiscriminately. ”
She frowned at me and said unhappily, "What do you mean?" My parents weren't that kind of people. ”
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I didn't mean your parents. ”
"I find that you are so easy to feel inferior...... "she said angrily, "they say that poor people must have something to hate, and it is true." ”
I smiled and didn't explain, Dongfang Youyu is just an ordinary daughter, who is used to living a life of worry-free food and clothing, and how sad she says about the little people, she listens to it as if she is listening to a fairy tale. may be moved, but it will never be as distressed as Jiang Xue.
Night slowly fell, and Dongfang was jade and diligently arranging by the river. As we were setting up a formation, we suddenly heard a scream coming from the Taoist temple, she was trembling with fright, looking at the sky in a daze, and trembling that it was not dark yet, how could there be a contestant screaming suddenly.
"Don't care, don't think about it......" I laid out all the wolf's heads, squinted slightly in the direction of the Taoist temple, and said softly, "You'll never want to know what's going on there, although we'll meet it too." ”
