Chapter Twenty-Three: The Wolf's Trail
We climbed the North Mountain with my grandfather when we were young, and we are very familiar with this mountain road, although it is night, but the general direction can still be found, the little soldier is in front with a stick, and I am following behind, because I am barefoot, sometimes pierced by the branches on the ground and screaming.
"You're too comfortable in the city, aren't you, so you can't do it for a while? I think when we climbed trees barefoot, you weren't like this, you were a bit out of the toiling masses. "The little soldier didn't forget to taunt me in front.
"Either it's easy for a monkey to become a human, but it's hard for a person to become a monkey. We're used to wearing shoes, and we're really a bit bourgeois, but we can enjoy the blessings and the sin can be bearable, so you can lead the way, buddy will never be left behind. "Although my mouth is hard, my feet have long been miserable, and this mountain road is full of gravel, dead branches, and sometimes some thorny weeds, and I grin at the pain along the way.
Although the mountain was quiet, the wind was not small, and the leaves rustled, and we were walking, when suddenly, a few green lights floated not far ahead.
", that's a wolf!!" The soldier stood up suddenly, grabbed my arm, and I looked forward, and sure enough, there were six small green lamps in front of me, undulating and swaying. When I was a child, I heard that this mountain is not very peaceful, the old people often say, there are tigers in the east mountain, and there are many wolves in the north mountain, and I have been on this mountain dozens of times, and I actually met at this moment. We both moved backwards slowly, as if the air was still, our backs were leaning against a tree, and the green lights in front of us were floating swaying.
"What's the matter? Grandma's, three wolves, we don't even have a guy. The soldier swallowed and said.
"Up the tree, quick." I called the little soldier, turned around and climbed up the tree, but as soon as we turned around, I heard a gust of wind behind me, and I knew that the wolf had pounced, and it was too late to go up the tree, so I shrank up and turned sharply behind the tree, and in the moonlight, a half-sized wolf cub rushed in front of me, and the gray wolf paw slashed at the trunk.
The wolf was small, smaller than the domestic dog, with black fur standing on end, triangular eyes glowing green, and staring at me with a big cracked mouth. The two wolves behind it paced left and right unhurriedly, and they didn't make any sound, fuck, this family of three actually surrounded the two of us.
"Grandma's, fight." The soldier's blood surged, and he lowered his body and crossed the stick. I turned the stick, and when I broke the branches, one end was a stubble, which could be used as a spear. I used to read books that the wolf was "copper-headed, iron-backed, tofu waist", and in the middle of the night, I couldn't see clearly whether it was the waist or the buttocks, and I just stabbed it.
The two of them and the three wolves were so quietly facing each other, the cold sweat on my body was blowing out, the hairs stood up, the little soldier grinned, stared at the wolf in front of him, and the hand holding the stick trembled a little.
The position of me and the little soldier is not bad, with our backs against the tree, so as not to worry about the future, we are one left and one right, forming horns with each other, but we can also see the movements of these three wolves at the same time. The wolf saw that we were on guard, and instead of attacking, he tilted his head and looked at us. The cold moonlight shined through the leaves, making the woods a little brighter, and I finally saw the faces of the two big wolves.
More than a meter long, gray hair, looking at the depth of the mouth crack, it is obvious that there are two adult wolves, the little wolf is their child, this family of three came out in the middle of the night to forage, and actually took our brothers as a supper. It is said that the wolf is treacherous, read in "Wolf Totem", this wolf even knows the art of war, we have no iron weapons on us, we can only be so deadlocked, I secretly pray that the sky will be dawn, tomorrow there will be a ranger patrolling the mountain, I hope to survive until that time.
The little wolf was a little breathless, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat and eyes, I know that the momentum can't be short, the more afraid you are of it, the more unscrupulous it is. I let out a muffled growl in my throat and tried to stand up as tall as I could. The soldier's blood surged, and he also roared, our voices became louder and louder, and I couldn't help it, the wooden stick in my hand hit the tree trunk, I followed the rhythm of the little soldier, just like this, while stomping my feet, while beating the tree trunk, the two of us roared louder and louder, and the wolf in front of us seemed to be a little uneasy, walking back and forth in place, and from time to time bent down, making an attack.
The faster we struck, the louder the sound became, like a war drum, suddenly, I saw the big wolf bow on his back, as if to pounce on me, I was nervous, I couldn't help but roar, this voice was several tunes higher than usual, the trunk behind him was shocked, the wolf was frightened by this roar obviously sluggish, but the soldier did not control it, snorted, split the air and slashed over a stick.
The little soldier moved beyond my expectations, it was psychological warfare at this time, I didn't expect the little soldier to be so uncontrollable. But at this time, it was too late to regret it, the little soldier's stick had already been picked up, and a large flaw leaked from his side, I quickly held the gun and stabbed it at another big wolf, the wolf jumped to the side slightly, and jumped out of my attack range, and the little wolf took the opportunity to jump out and pounce on the back of the little soldier.
I missed a shot, and saw the little wolf pounce on the back of the little soldier, and the four wolf claws had been inserted into the flesh, I subconsciously raised my foot and kicked, kicked the wolf in the waist, kicked the little wolf to the ground, and then stabbed the gun in the direction of the big wolf and shot again. The little soldier let go of his back, and was about to wait for the stick to strike, but the two big wolves pounced on us at the same time, and the little wolf spun around on the ground, opened his mouth and bit at my leg.
The three wolves attacked at the same time, and the two of us were too busy to take care of ourselves, and it seems that this weight of more than 100 catties will be left here today. I was about to resign myself to fate, but at this critical moment, the moonlight that had just been clear suddenly disappeared, and the woods were plunged into darkness, and a gust of wind swept in, and the little soldier and I were blind, and we could not see anything clearly. I was afraid that the wolf would take the opportunity to sneak attack, so I grabbed the stick and stabbed it forward, but the head of the spear seemed to be grasped by someone, and then a force came and took me out, and I fell out, and when I looked up again, the moonlight reappeared, and there was a clear sight in front of me, and in front of me there was a whirring wheal in the air, and after a while, the little soldier also fell out of it in embarrassment, and the tornado swirled around the three wolves.
How dare we stay, we stood up and ran, panicked along the way, I don't know how many wooden thorns were pierced under our feet, and we didn't feel pain. I don't know how long we ran, but after making sure that no wolves were chasing after us, we stopped to catch our breath. At this time, I felt a pain in my feet, it turned out that a branch had pierced into the heart of my feet just now, and I couldn't stand on my feet at this time. The soldier tore off half of the sheet and wrapped it for me, the soldier was grabbed by a wolf on the back, and only the flesh and blood could be seen in the moonlight, so we simply disposed of it, didn't dare to rest too much, and hurriedly walked forward. I was in a hurry just now, and I threw away my sticks and guns, but now I am really unarmed, and when I encounter a wolf again, I really just wait for death. The woods outside were getting thinner and thinner, and before we knew it, we had walked out of the woods, and we saw that there was a dirt bag in front of us that was just leeward, so we walked over and leaned on the dirt bag, and lay down on all fours.
"It's a big life just now, if it weren't for that gust of wind, the wolf would have eaten us both, you are really energetic, you can grab my stick and throw me out." I asked the creeps.
"I didn't catch your stick, didn't you grab my stick and throw me out," the soldier said suspiciously.
"What? Isn't it you? "I'm blindsided.
"I didn't, I was afraid that the wolf would bite me, so I picked up the stick everywhere, and someone grabbed my stick and threw it at me, I thought it was you." The creep's voice trembled a little. We stood up and looked at each other, and at this time, we didn't need to be humble about it.
"Where do you see this?" The little soldier pointed behind me, his eyes widened, and when I turned around, wasn't this the deserted grave at the foot of the North Mountain? When I was a child, every time Xiaobing and I climbed the mountain, we would pull weeds for this nameless and deserted grave, spread another layer of flowers, and then kowtow a few times. Later, when I grew up, although I knew that this was not Lei Feng's grave, I would come to pull weeds, which had become a habit.
"Could it be that it was the owner of this tomb who took me by the hand in the tunnel just now and led us to the exit?" "And the gust of wind just now, he was the one who saved the two of us?" We froze in place.
"Whether it's or not, it's a catastrophe that won't die, we have worshiped him since we were children, and now that we meet here, we should worship him again." The soldier and I immediately knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, and the soldier found a few more stones on the side and pressed them on top of the grave bag. "When we go back, buy some paper money, wine and food, and thank you again." The little soldier kowtowed again and said, I helped the little soldier and left, and after walking a few steps, I felt that someone was looking at me behind me, and when I turned around, there seemed to be a tornado on the grave bag in the night.
