Chapter 14: The Battle of the Two Wolves
After taking out the fire fold, Wei Xiaohu gave Yan Shuangfei one and held one in his hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info But I just had it in my hand and didn't open it to light it.
The gray wolf seemed to see what they were holding, barked at them a few times, and then quickly left.
"Go, quick. Seeing the gray wolf leave, Yan Shuangfei immediately packed his bags, and after carrying it on his back, he continued to walk towards the lower reaches of the Dan River. When Wei Xiaohu saw it, he immediately followed.
Yan Shuangfei knew that if they didn't leave at this time, then after the gray wolf called more wolves, they wouldn't be able to get away if they wanted to.
And Wei Xiaohu also threw the meat that had not been eaten on the ground, which could be regarded as attracting the attention of the wolf and buying time for himself.
Half an hour later, a man in a thick cotton coat with a gun behind him came to the place where Wei Xiaohu and Yan Shuangfei had stayed half an hour ago.
"Ah Li, what about people?" the man looked at the footprints on the ground, but did not see any displeasure in the people's hearts, so he shouted into the woods.
After a while, a gray she-wolf ran out of the woods, came to the man's side, sniffed the smell, and then focused on the piece of meat.
"Stupid wolf. The man looked at Ah Li's performance and scolded complainingly. But the gray wolf didn't care, he only cared about tasting his "food", even if its owner next to him was angry, it didn't have time to care.
"It's really not enough to succeed and more to lose. The master patted the gray wolf on the top of the head, and did not use much force. The gray wolf only whispered "whoop" twice, indicating that he was right.
And Wei Xiaohu and Yan Shuangfei, who were walking in front, have also been moving forward, although they are physically and mentally exhausted now, they don't dare to stop, once they stop, the wolf behind them will find them. Not to mention any treasures, even their lives will be buried here.
"Stop. Yan Shuangfei, who was walking behind, said suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Wei Xiaohu turned to look at Yan Shuangfei.
"You go in the direction of the woods, and when you come back here, remember to leave a footprint. Yan Shuangfei said, breaking a piece of hay from the river, and then sweeping away the footprints behind him.
These footprints can undoubtedly become the target of others' tracking. And Yan Shuangfei also suspected that the wolf was not wild, as if it had been raised, otherwise it should have shouted to summon other wolves, but it did not do so. There was no attack on them either, which proves that the wolf will not take the initiative to attack without receiving the order of the master.
Combining the above ideas, it sums up one point - someone is following them. But who is that person and what is the purpose. Whether it was for them, or the same purpose, it was all for the treasure, Yan Shuangfei didn't know.
But in order to be careful, it is better to remove your own footprints and leave them with footprints that are not in the direction of the destination. In this way, you can confuse their sense of direction and buy yourself some more time.
Wei Xiaohu deliberately left a row of footprints according to Yan Shuangfei's instructions, and walked into the depths of the woods. And when he returned, he swept away the footprints behind him, so that it looked like the man had gone into the woods.
As you walk, you have to remove the footprints behind you, so that the speed of movement becomes even slower.
It wasn't until after dark that Yan Shuangfei and Wei Xiaohu came to the foot of Yushan completely. The top of the jade mountain is covered with snow, and the whole is completely covered with snow, becoming a snow-capped mountain.
If you want to find a treasure, of course, it will not be so easy, and the treasure will not be just there waiting for people to find it. Once they have come here, it is enough to prove that they are one step closer to the treasure, as for the search, it is a matter of time, as long as the treasure is here, they are not afraid to find it.
"There's a cave here. By the light of the moon, Wei Xiaohu found that there was a cave not far ahead. But the cave was pitch black, and it was hard to know if there was any danger inside.
"Be careful, maybe this is some kind of animal nest, and if it is, then we're in danger. Yan Shuangfei said vigilantly. As a thief, his vigilance is much higher than Wei Xiaohu's.
"Hmm. Wei Xiaohu agreed, and then slowly entered the cave. The cave is very quiet, and the space is not very large, but it is more than enough to accommodate a bear.
"Bang. ā
Wei Xiaohu lit the fire fold, and as the flame jumped, the entire scene in the cave was instantly lit up. There is nothing in the cave, just an ordinary cave that can't be more ordinary.
Wei Xiaohu put his bag inside, then took out the quilt from it and spread it on the ground. Yan Shuangfei was still a little worried and walked around outside the entrance of the cave, he always had a bad premonition, but he didn't know the source of this premonition, so he could only be cautious.
As the night approached, the temperature dropped to freezing. A strong wind blew inside the jade mountain, but it happened to blow from outside the mouth of the cave, and did not blow into the cave. It's better for them to be inside the cave than to freeze to death outside.
Wei Xiaohu stuck the fire fold on the ground, then beckoned Yan Shuangfei to come in, and said to him, "Don't be so timid, who will come here from this big deep mountain?"
"You still want to be careful!" Of course, Yan Shuangfei also hoped that it would be better if there was no danger, but he couldn't let his guard down.
And while they were in the cave, unstruck by the cold wind, enjoying their food. In the woods of the Dan River, a man leaned against a thicker tree, with the wind to resist the cold of the winter wind, and in his arms was holding Ah Li.
"It's all your fault, otherwise we wouldn't be like this. The man looked at Ah Li trembling in his arms complainingly.
"Whew. Ah Li let out a low voice, as if protesting against the man's complaints.
"What? do you still have an opinion?" the man said with a few pinching of the gray wolf's body, "If it weren't for the fact that you lost someone, would we be freezing here?"
Ah Li was attracted to meat at first, but later because of the smell of meat, he couldn't distinguish the smell of Yan Shuangfei and Wei Xiaohu. When they came to the Dan River, there were no footprints of them, and when they looked again, the footprints led in the direction of the woods.
But following the footprints, the footprints were interrupted just after entering the woods. This made the man a little unhappy, and then he realized that this footprint was deliberately left for himself, in order to confuse himself.
"It's funny. The man hugged Ah Li and actually smiled.
And Ah Li also whispered again, wanting to say, "Not only interesting, but also treacherous." ā
"Goo-goo"
Just when the man wanted to sleep, his stomach made a hungry sound, but there was no food available at all. Not only him, but even Ah Li's stomach screamed.
"Don't sleep, go and get frozen. The man patted Ah Li, and Ah Li didn't even bother to open his eyelids now.
"Wow~~"
Just as the man was about to wake up Ah Li, he saw several pairs of bright things in the distance, moving.
"Oops. When the man heard the voice, he knew what it was, it was a signal for wolves to call to each other, and there might be a large number of wolves surrounding the place.
"Ah Li, wake up, let's go. The man struggled to get up from the ground, and Ah Li also heard the voice of his companion and woke up. But after seeing those wolves in the distance, he suddenly showed a fierce gaze.
"Ah Li, don't fight, let's go quickly. The man called out to Ah Li, and ran out of the woods. After Ah Li heard the master's call, he immediately followed.
And just when the man ran out of the woods, he found that all sides were surrounded by wolves, and the only way to retreat was to go to the lower reaches of the Dan River, leading to the direction of Jade Mountain.
The man who was held by the wolves was a little scared, and now he was not only physically exhausted, but more seriously, he was still hungry, and this was a completely self-defeating battle. Ah Li, on the other hand, seemed very energetic, revealing a fierce gaze, staring at the wolves surrounding him.
Ah Li's gaze still swept over the bodies of those wolves from time to time, and those wolves were relatively thin, even their sternums were exposed, they must have been hungry for a long time, and finally found out that there were people here, how could they let go of such a good opportunity?
At this moment, a relatively tall wolf walked out of the pack, but its eyes fell on Ah Li's body, and it did not look at the human.
Ah Li confronted him, as if he were fighting a battle without action. The wolf looked at Ah Li, baring its fangs and opening its mouth wide, as if to say to Ah Li, "How can you tame humans? ā
"I'm willing, I'm happy, don't you accept the single-handedness?" Ah Li replied with a fierce gaze.
"Whew~" The wolf let out another howl, and then ran towards Ah Li from the woods.
Ah Li was not to be outdone, he was ready to fight with him, and watched the wolf run towards him. After scratching its front paws twice in the snow, it immediately ran towards the wolf as well.
The man watched the battle between the two wolves, and he couldn't help, after all, there were several wolves on the periphery staring at him.
The wolves roared one by one, as if they were cheering for their leader. And the man could only secretly pinch Ah Li in a cold sweat, hoping that it could defeat the wolf.
The two wolves fought together, leaping upwards from the ground at the same time, and then their bodies collided in the air. After the leader wolf was knocked down by Ah Li, he immediately stood up, and then pounced on Ah Li again and launched an attack.
Ah Li was obviously a little behind, although he knocked down the wolf just now, but because of his physical strength, his speed was not as good as that wolf. Ah Li's movements slowed down for a while, but he was grabbed by the wolf's front paws, and blood flowed out of Ah Li's fur and dripped on the ground.
When the other wolves saw this, they raised their heads to the sky again and roared, continuing to cheer with the leader wolf. The leader wolf, on the other hand, stuck out his tongue and licked the blood on his paws, his eyes became even more scarlet, and the man knew that the outcome should be known in an instant.
