Chapter Seventy-Two: The Wolves

Qin Yue hadn't gone out hunting with Liang Jian for a long time, and she was bored in the tribe all day long, which was really boring, so she persuaded Liang Jian to let her follow.

His eyes looked at him with expectation, with a hint of non-refusal, which made him helpless.

Liang Jian stretched out his hand to hug her, his chin resting on the top of her head, "Okay, you go together, just follow me an inch." ”

Qin Yue's heart blossomed, and she nodded with a smile, "Hmm." ”

A few days later, Liang Jian led a group of people to the valley.

The valley, which had been sparse in time and space last year, is now covered with green, vines and weeds, and you have to remove the bushes and grasses to walk.

Passing through the woods, the stream of Qinglingling flowed, and a few animals could be vaguely seen bowing their heads to drink.

The tribe left Ah Liang, Shu and Ah Meng, and the rest followed, Liang Jian ordered everyone to rest in place, and then led people to hunt across the stream.

Qin Yue lit the fire and asked people to pick up enough firewood to come over, and not long after, Liang Jian and the others dragged the two prey back.

The people who stayed behind were envious, and they learned to shoot arrows, and hunting became the fun of the tribesmen.

"The horses have been here before, but we don't know when the next one will be, so we have to follow the trail of the horses and keep going, this trip will be a long way out, and we will have to catch the wild horses before we can go back. Liang Jian first gave them a psychological preparation, this trip must not be in vain.

The tribesmen nodded in obedience, and at the same time were full of interest in the wild horses that the leader had said, and they were all eager to try.

After everyone ate the barbecue, they filled a wooden tube with water, and each person carried one, and followed Liang Jian to the direction of the grassland.

Trekking all the way, stepping on the green grass, the vast blue sky is dotted with white clouds, and the long road ahead seems to have no end.

Qin Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead with one hand, took out a wooden tube and drank a sip of water, and then walked behind the crowd without stopping.

Liang Jian noticed that the pace of the person behind him slowed down a few breaths, "Tired?"

Qin Yue shook her head, she insisted on coming over, and naturally she couldn't hold back at the moment.

"There are no wild horses to be seen here, how do you know which direction to go?"

The vast grassland is endless, and the peaks that stretch in the distance are half-encircled, and a few white sheep are occasionally seen grazing on the grass, and as for the wild horses, they walked along the grassland for two whole days, and they did not see the galloping figure of the horses.

"Yes, Chief, we've been walking for so long, and the further we go, the fewer animals become, are there really wild horses ahead?" Dashan was also a little depressed, and although the other people didn't speak, they looked at them with the same inquiry.

Liang Jian looked into the distance and looked determined, "Don't worry, we won't run in vain." ”

Qin Yue saw that he was calm and confident, and he had a spectrum in his heart, he never did anything he was not sure of, since he said so, he must have something to rely on.

She simply stopped asking, so as not to shake their determination.

In the evening, the clouds dissipated, and it was pitch black all around, and they were still trudging through the vast grassland, and the road ahead was secluded, and the flying insects buzzed around their heads.

In such a dark and dangerous place, it is really not suitable to continue walking.

Liang Jian waved his hand to make them stop, a few people went to hunt prey, a few people went to collect firewood, and firewood on the grassland was not easy to find.

The starclouds overhead are covered with vague light, and it should not rain in such weather, otherwise there is really no place to shelter from the rain in this empty grassland.

Liang Jian sat down cross-legged, poured water with a wooden tube, and did not pour out a few drops, which could not quench the thirst in his throat.

"Here's water. Qin Yue handed her over, and Liang Jian hesitated for a moment before taking it.

"Tomorrow we have to find a source of water to get water. He solemnly said that there is no shortage of prey on the grassland, so they did not carry food with them, but used local materials according to local conditions.

It's just that the water source is hard to find, but fortunately, everyone carries a wooden tube with them, otherwise the body will be dehydrated after a long journey.

Qin Yue nodded, fell on the grass, and stared up at the starry sky, "The stars here are so bright, it seems that they are so bright every time." ”

Liang Jian followed her gaze, and the rare leisure time in the past few days suddenly relaxed a lot of tense strings.

This grassland is not as peaceful as imagined, and there are also dangers lurking that they can't see. In addition to chasing the trail of wild horses for several days, he kept an eye on the movements around him for a moment.

The few people who collected the firewood came back first, and the three people who were looking for prey returned here for a full hour.

Liang Jian took the flint and lit the fire, which instantly illuminated the surroundings, and the orange-red firelight reflected everyone's faces, all of them looking tired.

They sat in a circle around the fire, and the dismembered prey was roasted on the fire, and the fat was bubbling with oil.

It's finally ripe, Qin Yue can't think about it, the prey has only been skinned and gutted and not cleaned, and it can't be so particular in the wild, a group of people gobbled up and fed up, and the fatigue on the whole body dissipated a little.

Seeing that they were in high spirits, Qin Yue clapped his hands and proposed that they sing and dance to have a lively time, finally mentioning their interest.

Sleeping at night, he faintly heard the howl of the beast in the distance, and Qin Yue nested in Liang Jian's arms and slept uncomfortably.

Suddenly smelling a dangerous breath, it instantly made her shudder, she moved slightly, and felt the people around her also wake up.

"What's wrong?" Liang Jian hugged her, her voice hoarse.

She shook her head, trying to wipe away the uneasiness in her heart, and when she looked up, it was pitch black and there was no movement.

She was about to fall asleep, but she felt the man next to her body pause, and then the voice attached to her ear, "Something is eyeing us." ”

He didn't want to startle the snake, so he quietly got up and woke up a few people who came with the tribe, and they picked up the bows and arrows around them and entered a state of readiness for battle.

Sure enough, within half a sound, countless dark green eyes appeared in the distance, Qin Yue gasped, and that creepy feeling came again.

Every time they spend the night in the wild, they encounter a sneak attack, and I wonder if they are too unlucky.

At this glance, it was a pack of wolves, much more difficult to deal with than the two lone ones before, and one of them was slightly larger in their field of vision, with dark hair and strong limbs, and looked majestic.

"So many wolves?" The few people who were surprised in their sleep suddenly turned pale with fright when they saw the dense dark green eyes at first glance.

"Chief, what should I do? It's so hard to deal with?" Dashan chattered his teeth, not daring to look that way.

Liang Jian was slightly shocked, he didn't expect that there would be such a large group of wolves, there were dozens of them, and he didn't know how long he had been lurking there.

He stood in front of the crowd and regained his composure for a moment, "Take your bows and arrows, and come and kill one wolf at a time." Then he looked at the majestic wolf in the distance, pointed with his hand, and his eyes narrowed slightly, "That's just a wolf, you shoot it first." ”

As soon as the words fell, Liang Jian raised his bow and arrow, pulled the bowstring, and shot an arrow, the head wolf jumped up violently, and pounced on the crowd, the arrow hit its forelimbs, the head wolf howled angrily, and dozens of other wolves moved out one after another, knocking down one of them.

Qin Yue's heart tightened suddenly, not to be outdone, and tried to rescue, only to see a wooden arrow hit the wolf faster, and the person who was pounced on violently overturned the wolf and jumped up.

The human wolf fell into a scuffle, Qin Yue quietly took a few steps back, squinted his eyes at the head wolf who was staring at Liang Jian, and shot the head wolf with a whoosh, Liang Jian glanced back in surprise, and saw Qin Yue's smug face, and couldn't help but smile approvingly.

didn't be proud for too long, a wolf pounced on one side, pounced on her to the ground, grinned viciously at her, Liang Jian's pupils shrank, and between the lightning and flint, he rushed over and overturned the wolf that pounced on her, holding a wooden arrow straight into the wolf's abdomen.
