Chapter 124: Save the little wolf
Zhou Yunyi also slid down the tree along the trunk, and now patted the dust on his body, looking at the torches that had been extinguished on the line, time was running out, and now they had to hurry immediately, whether it was or not, they had to try to catch up with Xiao Chengze.
"Hurry up and get out of this place of right and wrong, there will be a lot of animals in this deep mountain and old forest, it's okay if there are many people, just the two of us who are lonely and miserable, we may be used as prey by them."
Zhou Yunyi shouted to Shen Yifan to leave quickly.
After all, they were forced to stay in the trees for so long just when they met a wolf, and if the whole pack of wolves came to besiege them, they were afraid that they would really have to give their lives here and become food for the wolves.
Zhou Yunyi's sense of direction is average, and they don't have anything like a compass now, so they can only rely on the direction of the sun to walk.
Shen Yifan is also a person who does whatever he wants? Although he tried to keep Zhou Yunyi behind, he didn't think carefully about how the rest of the matter should go.
Situ Rou was in a hurry to return to the capital, so she walked extremely fast all the way, and only found that Zhou Yunyi was not in the carriage when she was halfway to rest.
Situ Rou sighed, he knew that Zhou Yunyi would not follow them back to the capital so easily, he must have gone to find Xiao Chengze.
"You guys hurry up and look for it in the direction of the road."
"Yes."
"As soon as you find someone, you will bring someone to meet us."
Situ Rou was relieved that Zhou Yunyi was not relieved, so he still sent two of his men to look for the order, and when they found someone, they immediately brought them back, and the rest of the people continued to move forward.
Xiao Chengyu, the prison country, is also a name, in fact, the person in charge behind it is Xiao Chenzi, and most of the rest of the things are shared by the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, so how long he can last is not sure how late he will be in danger.
Situ Rou took the rest of the people and continued to return to the capital to support Xiao Chengyu.
Zhou Yunyi and Shen Yifan walked for a while, and found that if they continued like this, it would be more difficult for them to catch up with Xiao Chengze than to ascend to the sky, so they had to find some means of transportation to take advantage of.
But there was no means of transportation in the small villages they passed, let alone carriages, not even horse-drawn carriages, at most a few donkeys.
"Why don't we buy a donkey from my fellow countryman?" Shen Yifan looked at the two people who had been grinding out their soaked feet.
Zhou Yunyi looked at the donkey in the old man's hand and felt that this thing would definitely not be able to run fast, even if it could slow down the two of them and increase their physical strength, but it was obviously unrealistic to ride two donkeys to chase the horses.
Zhou Yunyi said: "It's not faster than people here?" If we're looking for it, we'd better be looking for something a little faster. ”
The two of them overturned the idea of selling the donkey, and thought of going on, but when they went into the jungle that evening, they found that something seemed to follow them behind them.
Zhou Yunyi felt that someone might want to rob the house, after all, in this deep mountain, there are some mountain bandits who make a living from this.
Zhou Yunyi shouted, "Run." ”
Shen Yifan didn't have time to react, so he hurriedly ran, and the two of them ran forward with all their strength, only to find that the figure behind them had chased after them, it turned out to be not a mountain bandit, but a wolf, looking like the wolf that had been waiting for them under the tree a few days ago.
"Oh my God, how can this wolf be so persevering? We've been gone for so many days, and he still quietly followed! ”
Zhou Yunyi saw a trap set by Orion not far in front of him during the run, "Run to the right, there is a trap on the right, and the two of us will bring him in." ”
"Got it!"
Zhou Yunyi and Shen Yifan successfully ran to the trap, and then dodged left and right, and the wolf pounced forward, falling straight into the trap, and let out a whining howl.
Zhou Yunyi's flower just now was also on the ground, rolled around, and after getting up from the ground, he lay down on the trap to see that it was Orion who had dug a big pit in the ground.
The scene inside the pit frightened Zhou Yunyi again, there was not only a wolf in it, but also a lonely wolf cub.
The little wolf cub seemed very excited when he saw the wolf fall in.
Zhou Yunyi thought of the scars he had seen on the wild wolf before, and instantly understood, it turned out that this wild wolf had been seriously injured by the hunter in the vicinity before, and his child also fell into the trap, and after the she-wolf escaped, she went to find food and wolves, and was ready to come back to rescue the little wolf, but the hunt failed and the wolves were not found. could only come back alone to rescue her child, but on the way, she and Shen Yifan met her again.
Zhou Yunyi didn't wait for Shen Yifan to come to his senses, so he went to the tree next to him and dug down a small branch that was relatively tough and long enough, and stretched it into the dirt pit, ready to let the little wolf bite the branch, and then rescue the little wolf.
"What are you doing!" Shen Yifan stopped Zhou Yunyi's movements.
"I want to save both of them."
"That's a wolf, he's going to bite us both when he comes out." Shen Yifan didn't have a good impression of this wild animal. Especially since the wolf had been trying to make food for the two of them.
"The little wolf is innocent, isn't it?" Zhou Yunyi moved Shen Yifan's hand to stop it, and then stretched the branch inside, the little wolf was still a little scared at first, hiding behind the she-wolf and shivering, I don't know what to do? Later, he slowly moved his footsteps, walked to the branch, and cleverly bit the branch with his teeth.
Zhou Yunyi pulled out the little wolf as soon as he pulled it out at the right time, and the little wolf was already on the land before he could react, screaming.
This little wolf looks about the same size as Xiao Ruyi, so it shouldn't be lethal, Zhou Yunyi stepped forward and picked up the back of the little wolf's neck stalk, the little wolf has been suffering for so many days, and he shouldn't have eaten anything nutritious and good, so he kept howling here.
"You bake the potatoes we bought from the fellow before!"
Although the two of them passed by the village in the afternoon, they did not buy the donkeys in the hands of the villagers, but they also cleverly bought some simple food, potatoes and mushrooms, and some dry food.
Shen Yifan looked at the sky and felt that it was time to replenish some food, so he took it out of the baggage. A few potatoes gathered some dry wood on the ground next to them, lit them with a fire breaker, and threw the potatoes into the fire very haphazardly.
The potatoes baked in this way were not delicious, but now that they were in a hurry, they didn't care about whether they were delicious or not, so they could only fill their stomachs first.
Zhou Yunyi also put the little wolf next to the fire to roast the fire, although the little wolf also has fur on his body to keep warm, but after all, he is too young, and the hair is not so tight, so the little wolf is also shivering in the cold wind, and it is much more comfortable after being placed next to the fire, at first he was scared, and he could only shrink himself into a small ball.
After the potatoes are roasted, there is some burnt paste, which is the smell of the outside potato skin being burned.
"It's broken, it's bad, it's baked." Shen Yifan hurriedly pulled the potatoes out of the fire with a branch.
"Whew!" Blow through your mouth to try to cool down the potatoes.
When it was no longer hot, Shen Yifan rolled the two baked potatoes next to Zhou Yunyi.
"Thank you." After Zhou Yunyi thanked him, he picked up a potato from the ground, divided it into two, and then put 1/2 of the potato directly on the ground for the little wolf to eat.
The little wolf obviously has no interest in potatoes, because wolves are carnivorous animals and prefer to eat meat, but the little wolf has been hungry for a long time and is not in very good physical condition now, so he also knows that the food in front of him is edible, and in this case, he eats all the potatoes.
Zhou Yunyi watched the little wolf eat sweetly, and he was also very happy, so he simply gave the remaining half of the potato to the little wolf and only ate one for himself.
"You saved this little wolf, what about the she-wolf? Without the protection of its mother, it would be difficult for such a small wolf cub to survive. Shen Yifan ate the two cheeks stuffed with potatoes by himself, and they were full.
"So I decided to get the she-wolf out in a moment." Zhou Yunyi said lightly.
Shen Yifan didn't pay attention to it, and was directly choked.
"You eat slowly, this potato is easy to choke when it reaches your mouth." Zhou Yunyi hurriedly handed the water to Shen Yifan, and did not forget to remind him not to eat so fast.
Shen Yifan took the water and began to pour it in large gulps, with the help of water, the food stuck in his throat rushed directly into his stomach.
"Uncle wolf, you're not crazy, are you? The she-wolf was still chasing after us, as if she was going to tear us both apart. Shen Yifan was obviously against his uncle's proposal, expressing his opposition to him, but he didn't want to flee for a while.
"Don't worry, everything is fine."
"Look inside, the she-wolf's gaze is much softer than it was before, and he knows that we saved his child, so he is no longer hostile to us."
Shen Yifan looked at the bottom of the pit in disbelief, and by the faint light of the fire, he did look at the she-wolf, not as arrogant and fierce as just now, but looked at them with a gentle expression.
"But what if we save him, and he will take revenge, you must have heard the story of the farmer and the serpent?" Shen Yifan's heart was still a little reluctant to accept it, and he wanted to rescue the she-wolf.
Zhou Yunyi took the little wolf in his arms and began to make fun for him, and the little wolf did not howl like just now, but warmly hid in his arms and rubbed it.
"Didn't you always want a mount? Isn't this coming? ”
"Ah, what did you say about riding a wolf?" Shen Yifan was surprised.
"Of course not. Wolves can pull sleds. ”
"Now that there is no snow in this season, what kind of sleigh to pull?"
Shen Yifan was simply shocked by Zhou Yunyi's earth-shattering idea.
"Is there snow or not that is not the point? Anyway, the wolf can pull things, and it must be faster than the two of us. Zhou Yunyi felt that the nature of this wolf should not be bad, if it was trained, maybe it could be used for himself, if it really couldn't be trained, it was a big deal to return the wolf cub to her, so that they could return to a free life between mother and son.
Zhou Yunyi didn't listen to persuasion in the end, and was ready to start camping the she-wolf, but the she-wolf was not as easy to get out as the little wolf, its weight base was too large, and there was no way to get it directly with wooden sticks and other things, so he had to think of other ways.
This pit went straight up and down, which was the main reason why the she-wolf couldn't get up, but if you want to make a slope in the middle of the pit, the key to the time and effort is that the two of them don't have the tools yet.
