Although I was fully mentally prepared, when I heard the sound of hundreds of wolves howling in unison, I couldn't help but tremble, and then I looked at Wood and I were similar, except that as a white man, his face was even paler.

Wood also picked up his rifle at this time, alert to possible danger around him. I took off the bow from my back, the iron bow my father had made for me. The Iron Tire Bow is not made entirely of iron, but is inlaid with iron bars on the back of the bow to increase the range and power, so it can also be called an Iron Spine Bow. The bowstring is mixed with wire, so it also has a strong ability to cut through flesh.

The Chinese legendary marksmen used bows and arrows, and they could kill birds and beasts with their bows, so they were filled with a kind of domineering spirit when they crossed the bow and arrows. As a hunter, I'm never looking for anything fancy, but being a good guy if I can kill my enemies.

At the same time, he asked me, "Billy, what to do?" ”

I listened intently, and the wolves seemed to be gathered in a forest ahead. This area is a savanna, because of the drought, the trees generally grow much smaller, most of them are more than two meters, but at the foot of the mountain in front, there is a clear spring, and the trees near the spring can finally grow like a tree, and seven or eight big trees stand there standing proudly at the small saplings around them.

The pity is that the spring water, the amount of water is really limited, the water from the spring flows out of the water is not fifty meters and then refuses to flow any further, neither the idea of rushing to the sea, nor the idea of merging into the rivers and lakes, it seems that the surface of the earth is to say hello to these trees and the animals that come to the spring, so the aborigines call it the unwilling spring, that is, the meaning of refusing to leave.

I have been to the Fountain several times to replenish the water supply, and the water from the Fountain is very good, and sometimes I can set up an ambush around the spring to catch a few game.

At this moment, I concluded that the wolves had gathered there, and I didn't know why they were there, but I couldn't rush over and find out. I have experienced the pain of being bitten by a coyote.

The first prey I hunted in the wilderness was a coyote, and I almost died that time because of carelessness. When I shot a bullet into the coyote's stomach, and as I ran over, the dying coyote bit my arm, and my hand caught the bullet hole in its stomach, and it was a confrontation that ended with me tearing off the coyote's intestines and sending it back to the west.

Add had said that the wolves in this area had been summoned by the Chosen One of the Guri by the Chosen One of the Gurries. I'd rather believe in it than believe in it, and be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. I have no interest in verifying science or truth with my life, I am not Franklin, and I don't want to be the Russian scientist that Peyu said, daring to challenge the natural law of "lightning in the midst of electricity".

Wood asked me, "Billy, what do we do now." ”

I thought for a moment, "Don't worry, let's take a look, I always feel that something is wrong." ”

Wood lost his patience: "Luna may be in front, if they are being attacked by coyotes, we will delay the opportunity to save them." ”

It was in the midst of this hesitation that I heard a few barking dogs from the south, and as I looked, I saw a dozen horses running towards us, brightly dressed in English knights' uniforms and carrying guns, and four of them soldiers. In front of the horse there were three more hounds galloping rapidly. It was clear that this was a group of hunting enthusiasts, who were either rich or rich, as evidenced by the fact that they were accompanied by four soldiers and two spare horses.

The men saw me and Wood from afar, waving at us.

Wood raised his gun and waved at them, and before they could get closer, I recognized three of them as John and his family, the mayor of Brighton, and the other three, both older and younger, who looked like they were also family. The two families went out hunting together, and it made sense, but it was not clear how they could have run so far.

Mayor John parked his horse in front of Wood, "Isn't this Wood?" Why are you still here to hunt. ”

Wood smiled bitterly and said, "John, I don't have your leisure, I'm here to find my daughter, because of some things, she quarreled with me, and then ran into the moor to relax, and got lost." Did you see her? ”

John shook his head: "Didn't see it." My wife and I came to Melbourne with little John, the mayor of Melbourne, Lord George and his wife, and little George. ”

At this point, I finally understood that the two families had not come here from Brydon, but from Melbourne. It's a lot from Brydon, it's close to Melbourne, and it's so close that the two of them dare to go to Mount Barrier, either they're bold or bold, and that's the only two things, and I don't see any of the six of them having a stunt.

Little John recognized me, and he rejoiced, "You're Carl's friend Bug!" ”

I smiled at him and didn't speak. John and his wife both frowned, of course they recognized me, but they didn't greet me, and I didn't bother to pay attention to them, I hated this couple very much, just as I hated the Governor, it was they who kept the little man in captivity in the Governor's Palace, and it was this Mayor John who proposed to tame me into another little man, forcing me to defend my last dignity by suicide.

Lady John rebuked, "Little John, you can't learn from that Carl, like a wild child, and associate with such a lowly man." You have to be closer to Little George, you are the pride of the sky. ”

Mr. and Mrs. George smiled slightly on the horse and did not speak, but I could tell from their expressions that the couple also looked down on me as a yellow race, although there were many Chinese in Melbourne, which was under George's jurisdiction, and in the Chinese population, Melbourne was often called the New Gold Mountain, and they traveled far and wide, and came to Melbourne only to hear that there were gold mines here, and the mine owners needed a lot of labor.

Anne ran to China and married a Chinese, and she once said that her father seemed cold and irritable, but at the same time he had the most unique Chinese trait, that is, gentleness. Treating others with affection and heart is a very noble tradition of the Chinese. Meekness is not meekness, let alone cowardice, but a strength, a power of compassion and human wisdom.

After listening to Anne, I looked at my father and the Chinese craftsmen in the vegetable garden, and I became more and more convinced of what Anne said. I gave a thumbs up to Anne: "You are really discerning, and this evaluation of the Chinese is very accurate." ”

Anne smiled and told me that this was not her originality, and when she came to China, she met a Mr. Gu who was studying in Europe on a cruise ship, and this Mr. Gu said this opinion.

This Mr. Gu is very humorous and funny, and often makes the people around him laugh. Anne admired Mr. Gu's knowledge, often asked Mr. Gu about China's things, the cruise ship has not yet arrived in China, the two of them are also teachers and friends, after arriving in China, Mr. Gu took Anne to the Governor's Mansion in Wuhan, at this time, Anne knew that Mr. Gu's name is Hongming, and Governor Zhang Xiangshuai specially invited back to China from the West.

Today, in the face of the contempt of Mr. and Mrs. John, I have no choice but to comfort myself with a gentle spirit.

Another wolf howl came, and John and George were in good spirits, "There are coyotes ahead, we have been chasing them for two days, and we have finally found them." ”

I thought it was a little incredible, "Didn't these two hear how many wolves were barking in front of them?" ”

John and the others were anxious to go hunting, but they felt that it was rude to leave Wood in this way, and he said to Wood, "Mr. Wood, do you know where your daughter is?" ”

Wood sighed, "She and her friends said they were here to hunt coyotes, and I only know about it, and nothing else can be found." ”

John raised an eyebrow, "Then they must have been tracking the coyotes here like us, why don't you come with us?" If we meet them, we will slaughter the coyotes, and then we will go with you into the wasteland to find your daughter. ”

John's proposal made Wood very excited, after all, John also has a lot of people, two families plus four soldiers, ten people are much stronger than me, I just have experience.

Wood looked at me with some embarrassment, and I smiled, "Mr. Wood, don't be embarrassed, the matter of finding people is originally the power of numbers, you should go with them first." ”

Little John asked, "Brother Bug, you can come with us too." ”

Mrs. John rebuked, "Little John, shut up! ”

I smiled and said, "Little John, you see, your parents didn't plan to invite me." I'm not going to join in the fun. However, I kindly remind you that there are many wolves ahead, so protect yourself. ”

John laughed: "Chinese boy, thank you for the reminder, it is precisely because there are many wolves that we have to catch up." We've been chasing it for two days now. Are you kid stupid to hit the iron cage and say such a thing? ”

Just here, a gunshot rang out from the front, and everyone was in high spirits, "Some people have already started hunting coyotes in the past, and if we don't rush over, we won't have our share." ”

Wood took the reins of a spare horse from the soldier and flew onto his horse, he looked at me apologetically: "Billy, I can't wait any longer, I'll go and see first, you wait for me here." ”

After saying that, everyone urged the horses to run over with a gust of wind, leaving only billowing smoke and dust.

I sat on a rock, with a straw in my mouth, and watched them go away, thinking to myself that it would be better for them to go ahead and explore the way, than me and Wood, after all, there is more power in people.

A few moments later, several gunshots rang out, and then a whistle sounded at the foot of the hill ahead, and the wolves howled.

Hearing the wolves howl, I was even more convinced that Eddie was right. Because the whistle is not as low as that played by the little mushroom, like the spring silkworm chewing mulberry leaves, and the spring water is whimpering, it is not as tactful and changeable as Eddie's blowing, like a hundred birds singing, like the tinkling of spring water, this whistle is strong, grandiose, and even more far, and if you listen carefully, it seems to be the roar of the wind in the wasteland. There is no doubt that when this whistle is intertwined with the howls of thousands of coyotes, it means that the chosen son of the Gurui tribe is here, and it is not known whether he is one person or multiple Gurui people.

Come to think of it, it won't be a person, who is as stupid as Eddie, who has learned bird control and shows off everywhere alone, it is a miracle that he can survive until now.

Then the gunfire ceased, and so did the howling of the wolves, and there was silence in all directions, but it was frighteningly quiet.

I woke up to Wood and John they might be in trouble.

I couldn't wait any longer, so I got up and made a detour to Mount Baril on the other side.

I walked out of a semicircle and followed the arc back to Mount Baril in two hours.

I climbed halfway up the mountain, lay down behind a large rock, and looked near the Fountain.

My mouth opened wide in surprise at the sight of a thousand coyotes, more than a dozen of them gathered together, either gnawing on horses or licking human corpses.

There were also some coyotes who ran under the big trees and looked up with their heads up.

The branches of the great tree by the fountain were sparse, and there were some people crawling on the tree, and I saw at a glance Luna and Nemo, both of them also climbing on a tree, each riding on a thick trunk, leaning limply on it.

George and John also turned into monkeys and climbed the trees.
