Chapter 9: The Wolves

In the dimly lit garden, a gentle breeze blew, rustling the leaves.

At this time, among the low flowers, a pair of shining green eyes were watching the summer north wind. The owner of the eyes hid his body in the shadows of the flowers, revealing only his shining eyes, which happened to be at eye level with Xia Beifeng, who was squatting.

Xia Beifeng's eyes met the eyes in the flowers without blinking, he relaxed his breathing, slowly stood up and took half a step back, clenching the shovel in his hand.

The bronze mirror was still hanging on the branches, swaying gently in the breeze, but the ghost Taoist priest in the mirror didn't know where to hide.

A low whimper came from among the flowers. Soon, more green eyes gradually emerged from the flowers, looking at the summer north wind in unison.

Xia Beifeng didn't dare to move, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and a drop of sweat fell on the corner of his sideburns.

It's a wolf. Xia Beifeng thought of what this was the first time he saw those eyes. At this time, he was counting the eyes that kept appearing, counting how many wolves there were.

One, two, three...... When Xia Beifeng counted the seventh pair of eyes, it was probably the members of the wolf pack who had arrived, and finally no new eyes appeared for the time being.

The first wolf to appear in the flowers waited for a while, and when he saw that Xia Beifeng didn't move, he tentatively took two steps forward. It stepped out of the shadows of the flowers, exposing its body to the starlight.

It was a gray wolf, and it seemed to be a little more robust than its normal counterpart. There was a pause with each step, and his paws tread against the soft dirt, revealing sharp, sharp nails.

When the leading wolf walked a few steps out of the flowers, the other wolves followed him out of the flowers. They form a semi-circle shape, little by little towards the summer north wind, gradually narrowing the range of activities that this human can do.

Xia Beifeng took another half step back, his back already leaning against the wall. He held his shovel to his chest, watching out for the wolves' attack at some point.

The wolf in the lead lowered its body and grinned, baring its fangs and letting out a menacing growl from its throat.

Xia Beifeng had no way to retreat at this moment, seeing that the encirclement of the wolves was getting smaller and smaller, he quickly planned several escape routes in his mind.

It's best not to be hard to deal with this kind of thing, it's unlikely that you can win more with less, so it's better to hit one first and run away. I'm afraid that I can't run as fast as a wolf, and if I don't get away from it, I'll be doomed from behind.

A gentle female voice came from afar, and the play was nearing its end, and it was estimated that it would be finished in a few minutes.

The wolf bared its teeth and howled a few times, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, kicked its hind legs, and flew towards the north wind in the summer.

The remaining wolves also jumped up and pounced on Xia Beifeng by the wall.

Xia Beifeng raised the shovel in his hand the moment the head wolf jumped up, slammed it at the head wolf jumping in mid-air in front of him, and slapped the wolf down. Then he squatted to the side, passed under the body of a wolf on the right, took off the mirror hanging on the tree, and ran wildly in the direction of his room with a shovel.

The shovel that Xia Beifeng slapped at the wolf happened to hit the wolf's Tianling Gai. When it jumped up, it had its mouth open, but it was slapped down by this blow, and it fell directly to the ground, not to speak, and bit its own tongue.

The beast was slapped with all kinds of meat, lying on the ground rolling his eyes and kicking his legs, and it took a while to return to normal. It staggered to its feet, and the rest of the wolves gathered around him, one of them rubbing his head kindly.

The wolf let out another low roar, driving his companions away from it. He bowed down and looked at the back of Xia Beifeng running, and rushed out like an arrow from the string.

The remaining wolves immediately followed, chasing Xia Beifeng's figure together.

It's a pity that Xia Beifeng has already run a long way out. He found the right direction, ran in a straight line in the garden, and did not know how many flowers and plants he had trampled on, and soon saw the small corner gate at the entrance of the garden that he passed by.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a gray wolf slowly enter the garden through the corner gate, and lay down in the middle of his path.

Xia Beifeng had no choice but to stop and make eye contact with the newly emerged wolf three meters away.

Yun Qingzi, the ghost Taoist priest who had been quiet for a long time, thought that the danger had passed, and showed half of his face from the mirror again, and cautiously peeked around. When he saw that there was a wolf in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, and then let out a scream.

"What the hell are you screaming, this beast can't do anything to you." Xia Beifeng closed one eye, covered his ears with one hand, and looked at the mirror in his hand with disdain, "Don't forget that you have been dead for many years." ”

The ghost Taoist priest thought for a while when he heard this, then put away his frightened expression, let out a sigh, and nodded to this Xia Beifeng and said, "Daoyou, what you said is good, but I'm worrying about you Daoyou!" ”

"Thank you." Xia Beifeng secretly rolled his eyes and turned his gaze to the wolf in front of him.

The new wolf was one size bigger than the one just now, and its fur was shiny and shiny, and it seemed to be very well fed. It looks very standard, but it's a pity that I'm blind in one eye and looks a little hideous.

It lay at the door, licking the hair on its body slowly, occasionally raising its head, looking at Xia Beifeng with its only remaining eye, and then lowering its head and continuing to lick its hair.

Xia Beifeng untied the chain he was carrying from the bronze mirror and hung it around his neck again. He put the bronze mirror in his pocket again, then sat down cross-legged, looked at the one-eyed wolf, and lit a cigarette.

The wolves soon chased after him, and they once again surrounded Xia Beifeng, reformed an encirclement, and slowly approached him.

Although Xia Beifeng looked very leisurely, he even began to hum a song quietly, as if he didn't take this group of wolves in his eyes at all. In fact, I don't have any bottom in my heart, just pretending to be calm here and putting on a posture.

Now he only hoped that the beast in front of him would be a little smarter, mistakenly thinking that he had something powerful in his hand, and it was better not to dare to act rashly.

Just be a little smarter, but not too smart, and if she sees that I'm making a plan, it's a nuisance.

Xia Beifeng pretended to be relaxed.

The wolves were getting closer and closer to him, so close that he could smell the fishy smell coming from the mouth of the wolf behind him. He still smiled, looking at the one-eyed wolf in front of him as if nothing had happened.

The one-eyed wolf's licking action paused, and he looked up behind Xia Beifeng.

Xia Beifeng felt something on his shoulder pressing down on him, he lowered his head, and saw the wolf claw on his shoulder, and a drop of saliva dripping on his clothes.

Xia Bei didn't reply, he directly raised his right hand and smashed it behind him with a punch from his ear.

When Xia Beifeng's fist felt the touch of animal fur, he also heard a short scream behind him, followed by the muffled sound of flesh and ground impact.

When the head wolf was about to bite Xia Beifeng's head with his mouth open, he happened to be hit in the jaw by this punch. The punch was quite hard, causing it to roll twice in the air before falling to the ground fiercely, convulsing continuously.

Unfortunately, it bit its tongue again.

The wolves around Xia Beifeng retreated again, staring at him warily, and their mouths kept making threatening sounds.

Xia Beifeng withdrew his fist, pressed his shoulder with his other hand, and smiled brightly at the one-eyed wolf in front of him.

The one-eyed wolf didn't lick its fur at this time, it stood up slowly, and walked into Xia Beifeng a little.

The head wolf on the ground twitched for a while, stood up stubbornly again, and staggered into Xia Beifeng from behind.

The surrounding wolves gathered again with the movements of the two wolves.

Want to get your hands dirty?

Xia Beifeng looked at the one-eyed wolf that was getting closer and closer in front of him, and no longer sat on the ground leisurely smoking, but raised his legs, bent his knees and half-knelt on the ground, ready to escape at any time.

The one-eyed wolf stopped a meter in front of Xia Beifeng, lowered his body, and whined something in his mouth.

The voice was not as monotonous as a normal wolf howl, but seemed to rise and fall rhythmically, more like something slurred by a man of speech than a threatening one.

"What are you talking about?" Xia Beifeng tilted his head and asked the one-eyed wolf.

The one-eyed wolf whimpered a few more times. Then he shook his head, grinned and bared his teeth and roared at Xia Beifeng, full of threat.

"Sorry, I don't understand." Xia Beifeng took a puff of his cigarette and blew it into the one-eyed wolf's nose, "Can you find a translator?" ”

The nose of a wolf is much more sensitive than that of a human. Xia Beifeng's puff of smoke blew out, and the one-eyed wolf immediately choked back a few steps and stared at Xia Beifeng viciously.

"I think we'd better stop talking, it's troublesome." Xia Beifeng said and slashed forward with the shovel in his hand like a knife, and the tip of the shovel that flashed silver just touched the tip of the one-eyed wolf's nose and fell, startling the one-eyed wolf and taking a step back. He withdrew his shovel, plunged shallowly into the dirt, and beckoned to the one-eyed wolf, "Let's do it." ”

The flowers in bloom in the garden were withering and falling to the ground at the same time. Immediately afterwards, the branches of the grass and trees began to gradually turn yellow and dry up.

A high-pitched male voice came from the direction of the stage in the distance, and it was hard to hear what kind of drama was being sung, but Xia Beifeng was startled.

The joke just now seems to be the last sentence?

So, the group of things listening to the show are coming to an end?

He wanted to look back, but he was afraid that the one-eyed wolf in front of him would pounce on the empty block, so he twisted his neck back and stared at the one-eyed wolf.

Who knew that the one-eyed wolf was even more sensitive than Xia Beifeng. When he heard the last male voice, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the stage in horror, as if he had completely forgotten the enemy in front of him.

After the male voice finished singing, there was another clanging of gongs and drums in the distance. The sound is getting slower and slower, and with a loud gong at the end, tonight's Su San solution is completely finished.

The one-eyed wolf still looked in the direction of the stage, raised his head and let out a long howl.

When the wolves around Xia Beifeng heard this wolf howl, they quickly scattered among the flowers, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Only the head wolf, who was beaten twice by Xia Beifeng, stared at Xia Beifeng unwillingly, roared a few times in a low voice, and then walked away.

The one-eyed wolf looked back at the summer north wind, but he didn't let out of the way, still blocking the small corner gate, refusing to leave.

"Your master is coming back, aren't you leaving?" Xia Beifeng asked the one-eyed wolf suspiciously.

The one-eyed wolf shook his head and simply crouched down. put on a posture of "Lao Tzu just won't let you go, what can you do".

This one-eyed knight, you're the only one left! What confidence do you have that you can stop me, or do you want to wait for those demons to end up and tear us both apart?

Do we have such a feud?

"Since you don't leave...... Xia Beifeng seemed to be very helpless and lowered his head and sighed, frowning and saying to the one-eyed wolf: "Then I can only go by myself." ”

As he said this, he quickly turned on the wolf tooth flashlight in his hand and shone it into the one-eyed wolf's only eye. The miserable white flashlight was so dazzling that the one-eyed wolf had only one eye left, and he was immediately stunned by the light.

Xia Beifeng took advantage of this opportunity to rush out in one step, kicked the one-eyed wolf's soft abdomen, and kicked it aside. Then pass through the small corner door and run towards his room at a speed of 100 meters.

There are a lot of houses in this courtyard, fortunately, Xia Beifeng's memory is not bad, and he walked through it under the guidance of the ghost Taoist not long ago, and he hasn't forgotten it yet, and it didn't take long to find his room.

He opened the door like a gust of wind, rushed into the room, and resealed the doors and windows that had been torn off the rune paper with great speed. This set of movements was done in one go, and it was not until he was sure that he had time to sit on the bed and take a breath.

He tilted his head to look over his right shoulder, where the small piece of clothing had been torn. He pulled his collar down a little, revealing his inner shoulder.

There were three blood marks on his right shoulder, and the wound was still stained with mud, and blood was oozing outward, which looked particularly miserable.

"This dead beast, I wish you won't find a mate for the rest of your life!" Xia Beifeng whispered a curse to the head wolf who left a wound on his shoulder, took off his clothes in pain, walked to the table and opened his backpack, and turned out alcohol and gauze.

Then as soon as he looked up, he saw that there was something more on the desk that had been empty, and at some point.
