43. Respect the laws of nature
The old wolf kept letting out a terrible howl, it was confiding in his grandfather all the experiences of the past ten years, the crescent moon was hanging on its head, and Da Tianyi led the wolves to behind it and howled with it. The old wolf is the elder of Da Tianyi, and he is a brother and sister who lives and dies with Scar.
In the wailing of the wolves, the top of the spiritual mountain is so desolate and tragic.
Xia Yulong and Lan Xin were deeply shocked by the scene in front of them, and tears filled their eyes......
The old wolf's howl gradually became hoarse, it stared down the mountain for a moment, then turned around and walked over to Xia Yulong, and threw himself into Xia Yulong's arms.
Xia Yulong gently rubbed the old wolf's soft body, and he found that the old wolf had a long scar on his abdomen, the scar was two fingers long, and it was regular and neat, as if he had been injured by a sharp weapon.
Xia Yu Longzai looked at the old wolf and asked, "Was it stabbed by the swords of the four big men?" ”
The old wolf stared at Xia Yulong, and his mouth made a "hum" sound.
Xia Yulong fell into deep thought, he imagined the scene of the vicious battle between the wolves and the four big men in the night Spirit Mountain, the cold light was shining, and the fresh life fell in a pool of blood, if the wolves had not restrained the four big men, he and his grandfather might have died under the sharp blades of the four big men......
Unconsciously, hot tears filled Xia Yulong's eyes again.
The sky gradually became clearer, and Xia Yulong's body recovered a lot, but he had to stop and rest every few steps.
The old wolf and Da Tian touched each other, and they led the wolves into the gap and went to the ancient tomb.
Lan Xin hurriedly asked: "Brother, where do you see where they are going, as soon as they have wolves, are they going to leave us?" ”
Xia Yulong said with a smile: "Fool, how can it be, they are hungry, they have to go to the back mountain to find food, the old wolf has become their military advisor, Da Tianyi is inexperienced, and it is up to the old wolf to make suggestions, just now the old wolf and Da Tianyi are discussing this matter." ”
Lan Xin helped Xia Yulong down the mountain, and the two came to the gate of the ancient tomb, where two wolves stood guard at the intersection leading to the bottom of the mountain, staying to protect them, and the rest of the wolves ran away.
The fiery red sun had jumped out of the mountains, the clear blue sky was cloudless, a gust of wind was blowing, and the leaves in front of the ancient tomb were falling.
Xia Yulong, who was sitting on the stone bench, looked at the fallen leaves and sighed: "It's already autumn, and I don't know where Uncle Shi chased that old demon to go, will they come back to the Lingshan Ancient Tomb to find us?" ”
Lan Xin said: "That old demon kung fu is very good, and he can also summon spirits in the air, Uncle Shi's kung fu is on par with them, if they chase the old demon of Yin Mountain to the northwest, I am worried that Uncle Shi will not adapt to the water and soil, and give the old demon a chance." ”
Xia Yulong thought for a moment and said: "This is also what I am most worried about, they will not come for a long time, and I am also very unsure, I hope they can come back safely." ”
Lan Xin looked at Xia Yulong and asked, "Brother, are we going to Longgu Town?" ”
Xia Yulong replied: "Go, when my body recovers, we will go and learn from Grandpa Yao." ”
"Hehe......" Xia Yulong smiled and said: "Longgu Town must not be able to stay for a long time, how can the West Wind Clan let me go, I am afraid that I will affect Grandpa Yao and them." ”
Lan Xin straightened the wrinkled clothes on Xia Yulong's collar, she put the dragon claws on his neck, and said, "Brother, you have a dragon body to protect you, what are you worried about?" ”
Xia Yulong was very surprised, looked at Lan Xin and asked, "What, dragon body protection, I have a dragon body protection on my body?" ”
Looking at Xia Yulong's stunned face, Lan Xin was a little surprised, and also a little scared, afraid that his temperament would change drastically, after all, he had broken out of the cocoon and Jackie Chan, and he couldn't figure out his character, she cautiously pointed to his chest and whispered, "Look at your chest." ”
Xia Yulong ripped off the clothes on his chest......
I saw a red, yellow, blue, purple and other colorful dragon head printed on his chest, the dragon's body extended along his right shoulder to the back, the dragon's face was fierce and vicious, his eyes were blazing, glowing red, and he was glaring ahead.
"Colorful Dragon?" Xia Yulong screamed in surprise, looking incredulous.
Lan Xin smiled and said, "What the Fire Scale Dragon said is right, you are really the descendant of the dragon, haha, I still misunderstood it before." ”
Xia Yulong's eyes widened, looked at his chest and right shoulder, and then turned his head to look at his back, no matter how he turned his head, he still couldn't see the dragon body on his back, the dragon head on his chest and the dragon body on his right shoulder were lifelike, as if the real dragon was imprinted on his body, which was enough to bring him visual shock.
Xia Yulong stretched out his trembling right hand and stroked the dragon head on his chest, although the scales were soft, they were slightly piercing. He closed his eyes for a moment, feeling every part of his body with his heart, and felt that his body was fine.
After a moment, Xia Yulong exhaled a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Lan Xin, and asked, "Xin'er, I am really the descendant of the dragon, they won't draw a dragon on my body and say that I am the descendant of the dragon, right?" ”
Looking at Xia Yulong's silly appearance, Lan Xin pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "You forgot, you have experienced the torture and pain of peeling, and the fire scale dragon personally told me that you are the descendant of the dragon, will it deceive us......
Lan Xin looked at the dragon on Xia Yulong's chest and continued: "This dragon is not drawn, but grown from your body, who has such good skills to draw such a beautiful dragon body?" ”
Xia Yulong spat on the palm of his hand and wiped the dragon head on his chest vigorously...... The palms of his hands were red from the scales of the dragon on his chest.
Lan Xin pursed his lips and smiled again, and said, "Don't rub it, where is it painted, hehe...... You just accept your fate, how many people want to be the descendants of the dragon. She raised her head and looked at Xia Yulong seriously, "However, the Fire Scale Dragon said that you are also a mortal, but I believe that you will definitely be a hero in the future." ”
The change of role made Xia Yulong a little difficult to adapt for a while, he felt that things came too suddenly, making him completely unprepared, and it was difficult for him to accept this fact, but he had to face it.
A shallow smile flashed at the corner of Xia Yulong's mouth, and his smile was a little unnatural, he looked ahead and thought: "When I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that the dragon is the totem of human beings and the holy object worshiped by human beings, just like wolves worship the moon, but people have never seen a real dragon since ancient times, and whether the dragon really exists is still a mystery, many people want to see the true face of the dragon, and grandpa has never seen it, he has only seen it on some stone walls or pictures." He looked at Lan Xin, "Xin'er, you're lucky to see a real dragon." ”
Lan Xin stepped forward and whispered in Xia Yulong's ear: "Isn't there a real dragon by my side, I am with him every day." ”
Xia Yulong knew that after he came out of the cosmic Rubik's Cube, his body was abnormal, and during the time he was unconscious, Lan Xin never left him, he was very grateful in his heart, and a strong love arose.
Thinking that he was lying naked in the grass on the top of the mountain, or Xin'er dressed him, Xia Yulong's face was a little hot.
Although the surroundings were quiet, the atmosphere was very good, and after a while, they both looked at each other and smiled.
At this moment, a white dove sprang out of the big tree in front of the ancient tomb, fluttered its wings and flew down the mountain in a hurry.
Xia Yulong and Lan Xin looked at the white dove in the distance before they could react, and they heard the rustle of dead grass being trampled on the mountain behind them.
The two turned their heads to look, but saw Da Tianyi and the old wolf struggling to walk towards the gate of the ancient tomb with a bison in their mouths, and the wolves followed closely behind them.
Blue Core clapped his hands, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Da Tianyi they are really amazing, the bison have been put down by them." ”
The wolves have returned, and their strength has continued to grow, Xia Yulong is also very relieved in addition to the accident, in the past, Scar They relied on the help of their grandfather to catch large prey, but now they can support themselves, if grandpa sees it, I don't know how happy he is.
After a few days of recuperation, Xia Yulong's body gradually recovered, and he wanted to wait until his body fully recovered before making plans, so he and Lan Xin lived in the wooden house in front of the ancient tomb.
After a few days, Da Tianyi took the wolves to round up the wild goats again, with the help of the wolves, Xia Yulong and they didn't have to worry about food at all.
In the evening, the smoke rose in front of the ancient tomb, the blue core roasted the fat sheep, the bright red mutton bubbled in the flames, and the strong meat fragrance overflowed from the meat, wafting around.
Thirteen wolves gathered around the campfire, lying on the ground in an orderly manner, watching Lan Xin's every move, saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths from time to time, and they were greedy for the smell of meat.
Xia Yulong took out a shovel, cut the roasted mutton, and the blue core divided the cut meat to the thirteen wolves piece by piece.
Lan Xin looked at Xia Yulong and said with a smile: "Brother, you see how fragrant they are, there is nothing left." ”
Xia Yulong stuffed a piece of cut meat into his mouth, his face showed joy, and he praised: "Wow, it's so delicious, I didn't expect you to have such good craftsmanship." He chewed it in large gulps, and his mouth was full of oil.
Lan Xin raised his head and said with a smile: "That is, the ancient kingdom of Xidan takes mutton as the main staple food, and each of us has the skill of roasting mutton, and my skill is not the best, roasting mutton is all based on experience, and grasping the heat is the most important." There was some pride in her words.
Xia Yulong pushed the boat down the river and said: "I have to ask you in the future, grandpa will also roast mutton, at that time I just ate it, I didn't learn his skills, the taste of your roast is as delicious as grandpa's roast." ”
Lan Xin frowned and said, "It's just that there are still some condiments missing, otherwise the baked taste will be even more delicious." ”
Xia Yulong said: "Next time we go back to Lingshan, we must buy all the things." ”
Lan Xin looked at the wooden house, pursed his lips and smiled: "I have to build the wooden house a little bigger, vacate one room, let me have a place to make a fire to cook, so that you can eat delicious meals every day, you two big men make a fire outside the house, it will be very inconvenient on a rainy day." ”
Xia Yulong said briskly: "No problem, the hard work is on me." ”
The laughter of the two of them was particularly beautiful in the faint afterglow and on the quiet spiritual mountain.
In fact, Lan Xin has another plan in her heart, she is looking forward to adding a new little life to the Spirit Mountain, which is her and Xia Yulong's child, she decided to decorate the front of the ancient tomb to create better conditions for their children.
The wolves were all full, lazily lying on the ground and roasting the fire, their eyes were half-open and half-closed, and they didn't want to move, Xia Yulong glanced around at the wolves and said, "Look, it's too blessed to have you on them." ”
Lan Xin smiled: "Can you not enjoy it with me?" After that, I roasted meat for them to eat every day, and raised them all fat. ”
Xia Yulong wiped the oil from his mouth and said, "Your idea is very good, but I don't think it's appropriate, it will spoil them all, and they should be allowed to compete and survive in their own laws......"
Lan Xin was a little puzzled, looked at Xia Yulong, and asked, "I don't understand what you mean, brother, is there something wrong with me." ”
Xia Yulong rubbed Lan Xin's head and said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with you, wolves are spiritual animals in nature, although we can get along well with them, and we are still interdependent in many aspects, but we have to let them retain their primitive nature, and they can't be raised by us as pets, if they lose their nature, the entire wolf pack will perish......"
Xia Yulong turned his head to look at Da Tianyi, and continued: "In fact, a wolf pack is a kingdom, a kingdom must have wildness and combat effectiveness in order to defend its territory, the head wolf is their king, when rounding up the prey, they have a clear division of labor, uniformly obey the orders of the head wolf, after catching the prey, they will first let the head wolf eat, and then share the rest of the food together, the wolf pack has a very strict hierarchy, their status in the wolf pack determines the food they share, the more wolves, the more obvious their rank, Especially when food is scarce, there is a high chance that they will fight and split. Also, if they are accustomed to our gifts and gifts, after we leave the Spirit Mountain, they will be at a loss, and even go to disintegration, so only by retaining their most primitive nature will their survival instinct be stimulated......"
Lan Xin listened carefully to every word and word that Xia Yulong spit out, and what she didn't expect was that wolves and humans also had such complex social relationships.
The four seasons are reincarnated, the grass and trees are withered, in fact, everything has its laws of existence, and the blue core suddenly thought of the ancient kingdom of Xidan, when the father did not abide by the law and did absurd and ridiculous things, which led to the emptiness of the treasury and the lack of livelihood of the people, and the entire country lost its combat effectiveness, which eventually led to the collapse of the country and the destruction of the family......
Thinking of this, Lan Xin couldn't help but feel a little sad, she held her cheeks and sighed softly.
