Wolf cubs
Su Yuanyuan took the burden he had packed last night, and put the small dagger that Qingyi gave her into his arms, as well as the pound of poison into the baggage.
She tied the cross knot for the burden and was about to turn around and carry it on her back, but Jiang Wenzheng wrapped her long arms and grabbed the burden and carried it on her back.
The burden on Su Yuanyuan's body that still looked heavy and clumsy looked so small on Jiang Wenzheng's back.
He was on crutches in one hand and a long stick more than a meter long wrapped in black cloth in the other.
He handed the other end to Su Yuanyuan, and the two had a long stick as a connection, and Su Yuanyuan was no longer afraid of facing the steep mountain road, and his confidence doubled.
This kind of mountain road is handy for Jiang Xuan, but for the weak Wen Shaoru, it is simply difficult to get to the sky.
The mud on the mountain was slippery, and he stepped carefully with every step, and the small branches around him were like his lifesavers.
The group walked slowly until late afternoon when they reached the mountainside.
The surrounding trees are luxuriant, the long branches cover the sky like tentacles, and when the sun sets, Su Yuanyuan can only see the slightest rays of golden sunlight through the gaps in the leaves.
I don't know when the temperature gradually dropped.
The spring shirts they wore could no longer withstand the cold on the mountain.
Jiang Xuan was also holding a two-thick wooden stick in his hand, and his eyes were deep and he looked into the distance.
"I can't get over tonight, why don't you find a cave to rest in?"
Su Yuanyuan also agreed with this suggestion, it took them more than an hour to walk a quarter of the distance, and now that it was getting late, they didn't know how long it would take to cross the mountain.
After a while, there was no daylight, and the trees were so lush that it was dark and you couldn't see anything, let alone walk.
But Wen Shaoru disagreed, he wanted to take Su Yuanyuan to Lotus Village as soon as possible on the grounds that he knew the mountain road here.
He was already out of breath from climbing these mountain roads, and leaned against a big tree on his knees.
His eyes were lowered, and his careful thoughts were covered in the shadows, Besides, Miss Su would definitely be scared when she walked at night, and then he could lead Miss Su to lead her way.
But his careful thinking was clearly seen by Jiang Wenzheng, how could it be as he wanted?
"Let's go, let's rest."
As he spoke, he led Su Yuanyuan and walked away, Even Jiang Xuan looked at him with a chuckle and waved his hand at him, "If you want to go, your old man will go by himself, it's just that if you encounter any jackals, tigers and leopards this night, don't be afraid of being gnawed, and there won't even be a bone residue left." ”
This is not to scare him, although this pond mountain is not bigger than the Fly Mountain, but there are many trees, the terrain is complicated, this is a good place for wild things to hide, they lie day and night, if they really encounter it, it is more auspicious, even the hunters do not have the courage to hunt at night.
Wen Shaoru's back tingled when he heard this, and he looked around vigilantly, for fear that some flood beast would jump out and take his life.
At this time, Jiang Xuan had already distanced himself from him, and Wen Shaoru's surroundings were quiet, and all the wind and grass were infinitely magnified into his ears.
He was just a scholar, where had he ever been in this deep mountain and old forest, and at this time, the daylight was fading, and the sky seemed to be shrouded in a black veil.
He didn't care about any face, he just ran away, shouting as he ran, "Wait for me!" ”
Jiang Wenzheng and Jiang Xuan found a small cave together, and there were some hay in it, and there were traces of burning fires in the open space on the ground, which seemed to be used by local hunters when they spent the night on the mountain.
After a day's walk on the mountain road, Su Yuanyuan had long been hungry, and his stomach was screaming at this moment.
Jiang Wenzheng and Jiang Xuan decided to go around to see if there were any traps left by the hunters and see if there was any prey.
And Su Yuanyuan is not idle, the temperature will drop sharply at night, they can't keep out the cold with clothes alone, and they have to pick up some dry firewood to light a fire to keep out the cold, not only can they roast some dry food, but they can also resist the approach of wild beasts.
Wen Shaoru was frightened by Jiang Xuan's words, and sat on the dry grass in the cave with a cower, watching Su Yuanyuan prepare to leave and move his legs in fear, so he was in a hesitation and entanglement.
Seeing him so embarrassed, Su Yuanyuan opened his mouth and proposed, "Do you want to go with me?" ”
He is a weak scholar, he can't lift his hands and shoulders, and he is still a rat guts, so he is not at ease to put him here alone.
Wen Shaoru nodded, threw down his little burden and followed.
The two of them walked towards the west side, picking up dry twigs on the ground along the way, and after a while, Su Yuanyuan had a handful in his arms.
She weighed the dry firewood, thinking that it should be about the same, so she went to call Wen Shaoru, who was collecting firewood in another place.
Wen Shaoru also picked up a full basket of dry firewood, and the two planned to go back.
But Wen Shaoru let out a soft voice, "Huh? ”
Then he ran a few steps faster and squatted on the ground, not knowing what to observe.
Su Yuanyuan walked over curiously, only to see a trembling puppy walking in the grass looking timidly at the two people who suddenly appeared.
"Is this a dog?"
Wen Shaoru didn't care about anything else, grabbed the puppy's armpit with both hands, picked it up and put it in front of him to look at it.
The little puppy seemed dissatisfied with his answer, and let out a low "whoop", and looked at him with eyes as heavy as amber.
The puppy's hair was grayish-brown, and its head was sharper than the dog's, because its two front paws were wide and fat when it was lifted up and hung in the air.
Those eyes are not as innocent as a puppy, and they are always cold and inviolable when they look at people.
Su Yuanyuan felt that something was wrong no matter how he looked at it, so he persuaded Wen Shaoru, "You put it down quickly, it's getting dark, let's go back quickly." ”
But Wen Shaoru pounced on this fluffy puppy with all his heart, "Miss Su, don't you think it's cute?" ”
His hands kept ravaging the puppy's shaggy head, ignoring its growl.
"Shhh
Suddenly, Wen Shaoru grabbed the back of the puppy's neck and kept it away from him, and in the blink of an eye, blood beads seeped out from the thumb of his other hand.
Before Su Yuanyuan could take out a handkerchief to bandage him, he heard a faint sound in the grass not far away.
The two of them looked at each other with tense bodies, only to see a gray-brown paw step out first, followed by a pointed wolf head, its mouth slightly open, and its sharp wolf teeth glowing with a cold and cold light.
The wolf was a little thinner, and even its hair was dry and frizzy, and it looked like a weed without any luster.
Its belly was thin, the spine bones were protruding, and its belly was hanging loosely, apparently a she-wolf
Its eyes were as tightly fixed as the cold stars in the night, staring at the puppy in Wen Shaoru's hand.
It's just that the puppy looks exactly like it.
Su Yuanyuan's head buzzed, and all the blood rushed up to her brain.
This is a dog cub, this is clearly a wolf cub!
