Chapter 13: Night in the Mountains and Forests (Part II)

The various trees crowded on the hills in the distance also revealed an inexplicable gloom in the darkness, Mu Yuchen's eyes looked calmly into the distance, and his expression was leisurely and almost a little distracted. The invisible boundary is shrouded in the space between Mu Yuchen and the others, where they are located and the slopes of the hills, and the two sides who seem to support each other are reflected in the bonfire, which has the feeling of two worlds in one place.

The roaring violent body, the fierce fire in his arms, his eyes were fierce, and his face showed an obvious look of service expectation. The curved corners of his mouth cracked at the corners of the White Russian man's mouth, and a faint bloodthirsty breath mixed with the shining teeth, refracted from the pure white bone that reflected the light, and the energy in the fierce body was brewing silently.

Zhao Xin's face was bored and played with the crisp grass at her feet, the subtle air flow flowing silently between the hills, like the most gentle arm, her long black hair with a silky texture floating on her head, the faint moonlight shone on Zhao Xin's sitting body, in the invisible elegance and peaceful taste, the tension that was ready to go was quietly gathering.

Ye Lin seemed to be a little confused about the state in front of her, her eyes were somewhat fluctuating nearby, and the faces of her companions sitting around the bonfire together clearly revealed obvious uneasiness in their expressions, but there was a demeanor that forcibly suppressed their emotions, the girl's breathing turned deep in a blink of an eye, and the divine light in her eyes also became condensed and solid.

Song Yan, who was still frustrated with the failure to communicate with Ning Caichen, kept moving the branches in front of her like a puff, the pair of orange-red flames that were burning violently, and the fiery red charcoal was a splashed spark, which reflected her slightly baby fat taste, but gave people a very cute feeling on her face, which reflected a touching bright red, and she sat bored and lazy.

"Supper? Living creatures? Brother Xu! What are you talking about? Ning Caichen looked at Mu Yuchen with some confusion, the weak scholar who had been running around all day in the mountains and hills, his face was tired and kept yawning full of sleep, but he was more or less vigilant and refused to sleep. Forced to ask the opening in a spirit.

"Whew!!!! Whew!!!! ......" Before Ning Caichen's words of questioning fell, the mournful and distant desolate howl sounded full of penetration from the distant mountains and hills. flocked to the flat and empty position where Mu Yuchen's people camped, shrouded and occupied by the crown of an ancient tree with a lifespan of hundreds of years.

"Nothing! Someone like that! They've lured a pack of wolves to our side! Mu Yuchen ignored the pale and nervous look that suddenly appeared on Ning Caichen's face. He continued to relish: "The meat of the wolf meat is very rough! However, it is used for outdoor barbecue, and it is quite flavorful when the seasoning is right! ”

"Xu-big-brother!? What do you mean - meaning to say! Someone- someone is being chased by wolves!? The piercing wolf howl stimulated Ning Caichen's nerves, and the tiredness on the scholar's face quietly faded in an instant, and the flushed face mixed with the panicked nervous expression suddenly changed wonderfully on his face. So much so that even the voice of the speaker stuttered a little.

"Yes! That's right! Judging by the sound of the wolf howling! Wolves gathering together! It's about three miles away from us! As for the few who were spotted by the wolves, they were still about two miles away! It should be right behind the opposite hill! Mu Yuchen smiled peacefully and said to Ning Caichen: "You scholar have the courage to walk alone!" But they are afraid of wild wolves! Interesting! ”

"It's duty to walk alone! As in duty bound! It's human nature to be afraid of wild beasts! It's a matter of nature! The calmness contained in Mu Yuchen's peaceful expression infected Ning Caichen, who had just been frightened, although the flush on the scholar's face did not subside, but the breath of his speech was obviously calm, he was initially upright and then gradually retorted in a faint voice. …,

"Timidity is not a problem! After all, people have seven emotions and six desires! The real problem of people is that they cannot face the problem, and only by facing it can they solve the problem and overcome the weakness! Mu Yuchen, who was sitting cross-legged, was quite a bit at the moment, and he was sitting with Ning Caichen and talking about the amorous taste. **!Book. "Only those who can face the bleak life calmly!" is the real hero in this world! ”

In the seemingly useless conversation between Song Yan and Ning Caichen. Mu Yuchen roughly understood the protagonist of the movie. Although he agreed to the request to go with the people of the Phantom World Team, he still maintained a bit of vigilance, so if he wanted to get more information from him, then he had to think differently.

The ancient feudal society of the East can be described as a deformed respect for intellectuals in various senses. The Song Dynasty can be said to rule the world with scholars, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by his cabinet. The eventual demise of the Song and Ming dynasties seems to have been due to the invasion of nomads. But in the name of the actual culprit, the court ministers composed of literati were the biggest murderers.

The best way to communicate with cultural people is: Make yourself look very cultured, the image created by Mu Yuchen's posture now is that of a wise man hidden in the mountains, this posture that has been packaged by modern culture has obviously found the right direction, and it made Ning Caichen's expression relax a lot in an instant.

"Only those who can calmly face the bleak life! is the real hero in this world! Ning Caichen repeated what Mu Yuchen had just said, his face quietly turned into a deep contemplative expression, and only after a long time did he continue in a trance. Reasonable! Reasonable! Well said! Well said! ”

That's not what I said! I just heard about it by chance! I thought it was enough! Mu Yuchen said very humbly and sincerely, it's not that he doesn't want to be a copyist in the literary world, he wants to fool Ning Caichen naturally without pressure, but the other members of the Phantom World Team are all present, Mu Yuchen doesn't want to lose his character in the eyes of Zhao Xin and others in order to pretend to be a burning bag.

…………

Just when Mu Yuchen used the oppressive feeling of the howling wolves to play trust with the help of the Wenqing template in the gap of Ning Caichen's wavering will. Zhou Zhichao, who was the first to discover the campfire of the Phantom World team, moved his legs with an embarrassed expression, and ran wildly among the sparse trees on the hill under his feet.

The sound of the clattering branches was driven, like a sign in the silent mountain forest, Zhou Zhiqiang's chest bellows were undulating with heavy breathing, and his legs were constantly moving into his brain, and the feeling of being overwhelmed and moaning was continuous, eroding his still sober will at the moment, and the young man who was chased by fear gritted his teeth and insisted.

"Can't stop! You can't stop! The heavy backpack was abandoned by Zhou Zhichao early on the top of the hill behind him. Zhou Zhichao's thinking is gradually going blank, and his only thought at this moment is that he can't wait to have two more feet. Make yourself faster.

Tan Jian, who is still a student, is in much better physical condition than Zhou Zhichao, who has been corrupted by social life for two years and gradually went downhill, in school for various reasons. The physique he exercised on the court and on the field made him continue to narrow the gap between him and Zhou Zhichao. Yu Wenwei and He Qin fell about fifty meters away, falling into the most disadvantageous position of life and death in the chase.

For humans living in the steel jungle of the city, there are usually only two established safe modes for getting up close and personal with wild beasts. Either humans put the beast in a cage and watch. This pattern is commonly found in zoos in cities. Either humans use their cages to protect themselves safely, and then watch the natural wild animals from the cages, which is often called wildlife nature reserves. …,

The two female newcomers who were running around each other vaguely captured the small sound fluctuations. He Qin, who was like a frightened bird, unconsciously clenched her arm that Wen Wei was holding harder, as if she was going to merge into one, she subconsciously looked back during the run, and then her body subconsciously stiffened numbly.

Yu Wenwei's arm that was almost connected to He Qin. I immediately felt the changes in He Qin's body. Reflexively held by the other party's arm. Wen Wei's brain sent a signal of severe pain, and at the same time, He Qin's sudden stiff body movements suddenly interfered with the movements of the two runs, and they almost fell directly to the ground.

"Xiaoqin! What are you doing! If you fall! I'm going to roll straight down the hill! Yu Wenwei, who had just climbed to the top of the hill, finally stabilized the bodies of the two of them, and she was very bad-tempered by the sudden situation. immediately shouted at He Qin, who almost caused a tragedy.

"Be quiet! Look at the hill behind you! Yu Wenwei's loud shout startled He Qin, and she suppressed the urge to scream in her heart. With a pale face, he glared fiercely at his companion a little, and then whispered sharply in victory.

Yu Wenwei and He Qin never imagined one day. In a third, more primitive and natural way, I will come into close contact with these wild beasts that can only be seen vividly on TV and books, and the situation in front of me has nothing to do with the so-called ornamentation, and now the relationship between the two sides is the most common mode of ecological interaction between prey and hunter in nature.

Countless strange points of light flashing with a faint green hue, flickering in the dense forest of the hills behind the two, the biting chill was clearly revealed from those pairs of cold light, even if they didn't understand the meaning of the light, but the instinct of the creature still made Yu Wenwei and He Qin feel a danger like a knife hanging over their heads.

"Wolves! It's a pack of wolves! Linked to the terrible howl of the roaring mountain forest before, Yu Wenwei almost reflexively came up with this correct answer that was almost consistent with the facts, and her body stiffened in the dark, and the bloodless pale revealed from the girl's face.

"What to do! What to do! We can't run away!! Absolutely can't run away! Looking at the ghostly side of the hill opposite, the cold eyes that flashed forward at a speed, He Qin, who was full of despair in his heart, weakened his body, whispered involuntarily towards the ground, and knelt down like a limp as if he were paralyzed.

"Now is not the time to give up! Look ahead! Look at the fire! Wherever we go, we will be saved! Violin! Yu Wenwei dragged He Qin's falling body with some difficulty, and whispered as softly as possible to encourage her broken will that was frightened and took away all hope. Now is not the time to feel sorry for yourself! Do you want to be eaten by those wolves!? ……”

"That's right! Right! Right! Let's run! Hurry up and run! He Qin's eyes were still full of hesitation, but the will to survive was also re-emitted, shining like fireworks. He Qin held Yu Wenwei tighter and held the arms of his body, and the two of them reopened their feet and continued to move forward.

Time passed minute by minute, and the first secluded forest kept ringing, like the friction of the breeze touching the branches and leaves. The double pressure of fear and external stimuli constantly stimulated the nerves of the four fugitive newcomers, allowing them to release their athletic abilities far beyond their usual abilities, and everyone did not dare to look behind them, and the small sound was gradually getting louder and louder.

…………

"Brother Xu! What a virtue! Ning Caichen was stunned for a moment, and then gave Mu Yuchen a thumbs up.

Not far away, another terrible wolf howl was heard from the hills, but that time the call was not as singular as before. After the first howl gradually subsided, the howls that seemed to echo began one after another, intertwining with each other in the dark and silent mountain forest. A unique movement full of the vastness of ancient times. …,

"Compared to the tiger and leopard who live alone! Packs of paired wolves!! It's the biggest predator in the mountains and forests! And the wolves have a very strict hierarchy! The discipline between each other is also very strict! And these guys have extremely high IQs! And it's a grudge! Ordinary people will basically end up in their teeth as food! ”

"But! Since we have this reason! Just a beast! It's not worth mentioning at all! Scholar! Just put your heart back in your belly! Mu Yuchen looked at Ning Caichen, whose face was almost bloodless, and after a brief introduction to the wolf animal, he said with a calm breath and relieved confidence.

"Brother Xu and the courage of this strong man! Cai Chen naturally believes it! Ning Caichen's gaze was on Mu Yuchen and Menghuo. After a slight pause for a few seconds, the scholar with a not-so-sleek personality was talking, and when he grabbed his gaze at Zhao Xin and the others, he didn't know what Lu Dao was euphemistically and showed a hesitant expression. "But these three young ladies ......."

"You're Miss! Your whole family is a young lady! "Song Yan, who was very unhappy with Ning Caichen's attitude when he first came into contact with the active conversation. Suddenly, stimulated by the suspicion in his words, he refuted it very unhappily, and then snorted coldly, leaving the back of his head to the scholar who was stunned and didn't know what he had said wrong.

In ancient times, the word 'Miss' was an out-and-out word with a very positive connotation, but under the corrosive effect of modern materialism, this once elegant word has been completely reduced. Something politely called a 'runaway woman' by the Ministry of Public Security. Alternative names for special populations with broad social recognition.

"Brother Ning Xian! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! In our hometown! The word Miss! It's an insulting word! Mu Yuchen first glanced at Song Yan blamelessly, but he got a glaring grimace in response, and he helplessly explained to Ning Caichen with a wry smile on his face: "Little sister has no mouth!" Bear with me! Bear with me! ”

"Miss is a curse word???" Ning Caichen's squinting eyes glared at the boss in surprise, as if some monster had appeared in front of him, but soon he apologized and said, "Caichen is presumptuous! I don't understand the terroir of your hometown! Please forgive this sister! Forgive! ”

"Sister???? The golden light danced in Song Yan's eyes, and her face was slightly round but immature. Song Yan, who was like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, gritted her teeth and repeated what Ning Caichen called herself. Suddenly, the breath was warm but full of coercion, and the flame of the bonfire was suppressed.

"Yeon-yeon! Maybe! Caichen is really younger than you! Burst!! Mu Yuchen looked at the scholar who was still at a loss when he poked the hornet's nest. Holding back a smile that was almost bursting out, he said with an unnaturally stiff face. "Caichen! You're saying the wrong thing again! Women! I pay more attention to my age! ”

Ning Caichen's face was still ignorant and dazed, and Song Yan's cute appearance of revealing little tiger teeth was contrasted with each other in the firelight that returned to normal, and suddenly aroused a wave of irrepressible laughter. However, at this moment, an embarrassed figure rushed out of the dense forest on one side of the hill and fell directly to the grass in embarrassment.

Zhou Zhichao, whose face was almost numb in severe pain, raised his head to look at the people sitting under the canopy of the big tree, releasing light and heat to warm themselves with the help of the bonfire, the tight strings in his heart unconsciously relaxed, Zhou Zhichao got up from the ground with difficulty, and slowly walked towards the bonfire with the strongest spirit.

Almost as soon as Zhou Zhichao reached the side of the veteran, Tan Jian's figure also rushed out of the woods, sweating profusely, although he was tired all over his body, but it was obviously much easier than Zhao Zhichao, who was almost out of oil, Tan Jian walked directly to the big tree next to the bonfire, and met with Zhou Zhichao who was squatting there.

"Who are the two of them?" Ning Caichen was surprised to be suspicious of the identities of Zhou Zhichao and Tan Jian, who obviously knew Mu Yuchen and others, but seemed to have a very tense and strange relationship, and deliberately kept a distance between the two sides.

"Barely enough to count us as companions! At least they've passed the first level now! Mu Yuchen glanced at it indifferently, it was the two newcomers who would not throw a lot of eyes over here, and after explaining to Ning Caichen, he said to Song Yan: "Give them some food and water!" Incidentally! Help them recover a little from overexerted stamina! It's going to be a long night! ”

"Cut! Forget the first one! The latter one should be the guy who originally told you about the two girls! The taste of contempt in Song Yan's gaze when he looked at Tan Jian was undisguised, and he said to Mu Yuchen angrily. This kind of person! Hum! (To be continued......)
