Chapter VII Re-risking
After walking through the dense forest for half a day, it was almost dusk.
"Let's rest here tonight. "Come to a lakeside and lay down two little beasts. Tang Qingshan looked around and began to pick and choose in the grass. The two little jackals opened their sleepy eyes and discerned the direction. Seeing Tang Qingshan busy there.
After tossing for a while, Tang Qingshan dragged a pile of dry firewood and a handful of green grass back. The bonfire was set up, and as soon as the dry cakes were baked, the little red jackal suddenly rushed to the fire, and with its back to the flames, its two hind paws desperately lifted the sand on the ground into the fire.
"Hey, hey, hey, wait. Tang Qingshan hurriedly stopped the little jackal.
"Your companion is now seriously wounded, and it is about to get dark, and I cannot heal your companion without fire, and if you are afraid, stand aside. Because he was afraid of being retaliated against by the jackals during the day, Tang Qingshan didn't care about the little green jackal's injury, and just used true qi to instill it in its body to maintain it and prevent it from getting worse. The wound must be treated now, and I am afraid that it will be bad for the little green jackal if it is too late. He put the little one on his lap and carefully observed the injury on the little green wolf's back by the light of the fire. Looking at the shocking wound, Tang Qingshan also gasped. In the middle of the spine, a finger-long wound hid beneath the cyan fur. Fortunately, it was just a flesh wound, and it should be fine to recuperate for a few more days. While cleaning the blood and sand from the wound with mountain spring water, he stuffed the freshly picked grass into his mouth and began to chew it.
The little red jackal hid far away, and when he saw Tang Qingshan eating with relish, his stomach began to growl. Carefully walked to Tang Qingshan's side, picked up a blade of grass and chewed it.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, poof..."The little guy had just chewed out a little taste of the blade of grass, and his mouth was full of bitterness and a little spicy. Choking the little guy and rolling all over the ground. This human being is so strange that he likes to eat such strange things. The little guy cowered in place and frowned.
Tang Qingshan glanced at it and didn't speak, he tore off a piece of fabric on his clothes, dismantled it into several parts and put it in front of him, and spit out the grass juice that he had chewed in his mouth. It was evenly applied to the wound of the little green jackal, and then bandaged one by one with the strips of cloth that had just been removed, and finally used a short knife that he carried with him to cut a wooden board against the back of the little green jackal. The little red guy stared at Tang Qingshan suspiciously, his eyes revealing caution and confusion.
"If you still want to stand up, don't move later. Without waiting for the little green jackal to answer, he wrapped the little green jackal with a strip of cloth and tied it with the plank.
"Shhhh Hiss... Ha... Ha..."The nerves that had been eased by the herb juice were tensed together again, and the little green jackal endured the sharp pain in his back, lying on the ground gasping for breath. The little red jackal couldn't help but say something when he saw the pain of his companion, and took Tang Qingshan's wrist in his mouth again.
"Hey, little thing, don't think that I'm reluctant to do anything to you if you're cute! Spread it out of me! Don't you hear it! Stare at whom! Spread it out of me. Ouch hey!" Blood flowed out of Tang Qingshan's wrist again. He himself never imagined that he would shed blood twice when he was so brave that he drank back from the group of jackals today, and it was the same murderer. Looking at the fiery red in front of him, the straight man was angry and funny.
"Sister, Hugh is rude. When one man and one beast were arguing with reason, which was right and which was wrong, the little green jackal lying next to him stood up.
Seeing that his brother was not dead, the fiery red figure quickly got down from Tang Qingshan's body, and came to the little green jackal's side to look left and right affectionately.
"Benefactor, twice life-saving grace, there is no way to repay it. In the future, my brother and sister are willing to smear their benefactors. The little green jackal lowered its body with difficulty and slowly fell to the ground. The younger sister was obviously still wary of Tang Qingshan, but looking at her brother's eyes, she gave in unwillingly. He turned his head to the side and bowed down.
"Your wound won't heal for a while, don't move. Go to the fire to keep warm, don't catch a cold. "I haven't seen anyone else. But Tang Qingshan was able to heal himself simply, because the family conditions were difficult, and every time he got sick, Tang Qingshan tried not to let his mother find out. Because, how to heal herself when her mother was sick, Tang Qingshan saw it all. Bidding farewell to the short-term thoughts, Tang Qingshan looked at the bandages on the little green jackal's body, and was very satisfied with his technique.
"Are you hungry?" Tang Qingshan looked at the two little ones lying by the bonfire, thought about it and asked.
"Wow~woo~" As soon as the fiery red one heard that there was something to eat, he immediately stood up from the ground. Tang Qingshan took out the piece of jerky at noon, and before he could hand it out, a ghostly figure flashed in front of his eyes, returned to the little green jackal and put the meat in his mouth in front of his brother.
"Sister, although you are not yet free, you are talented. The benefactor has saved us both of us in danger again and again today, how can you be so rude?" the little green wolf became angry. The little fiery red jackal stared at his brother with big watery eyes. The aggrieved whined.
"Hey, hey, hey, forget it. Tang Qingshan felt that it didn't matter, even if it was a spiritual beast. In the course of a day, the continuous experience of betrayal, bereavement, and flight for the life of the clansmen. Even after the terrifying experience of almost being in a different place, it is a good thing that he can still be as active as a little guy.
"Go and apologize to your benefactor!" The little green jackal deserves to be an older brother, and his tone at this time is not angry and arrogant. The little red jackal cried aggrievedly, and moved in the direction of Tang Qingshan step by step with the piece of meat in his mouth.
"Hurry up!" seems to be very dissatisfied with my sister's performance. The little green jackal bared out its fangs. The little red jackal was so frightened that he hit a spirit. Walked quickly to Tang Qingshan, gently put down the meat in her mouth, lowered her head, and big tears rolled out of her eyes.
"Okay, okay, what are you brothers and sisters doing here?" The eldest brother who was caught off guard was like a father, which made Tang Qingshan a little embarrassed. Holding the little red jackal in his arms, he gently wiped his big eyes. Slowly comb her fluff. With his left hand, he grabbed the jerky on the ground and handed it to the little red jackal, who stared at his brother with big innocent eyes. Tang Qingshan turned around and separated their eyes.
"From now on! You both have to listen to me! If I tell you to, you'll have to eat! You lie down for me and go to bed right away. At such a young age, why is it so uncomfortable?"
Tang Qingshan learned from his mother when he was a child. pretended to be fierce, but he laughed unconsciously after speaking. Hey, I'm only eighteen years old this year, and this is to experience the happy life of being a father in advance.
After tossing for most of the day, it finally stopped. Tang Qingshan put the two small ones on his legs, and was afraid that the sparks would fly out and burn their hair, so he added some dry firewood to the bonfire. One big and two small just stared blankly at the full moon in the lake.
"This day's outlaw life, we can be regarded as friends of life and death, right? But I don't even know what you two are called. I'll talk about it first! My name is Tang Qingshan. Outside the mountain, Qingshan Building, Wailou, West Lake singing and dancing, when will it be off! How about it? Don't you understand! If you don't understand, it's right! If you understand it, what kind of art is it? It's up to the two of you! You can't take it out later, and you have to shout, who is that? Who's her big brother, a little embarrassed, isn't it?" the two little ones lay quietly on his lap, their faces full of sorrow. Perhaps because he was afraid that they would think of something sad, Tang Qingshan hurriedly opened a new topic.
"Benefactor, there is no way for our names to be said through human language. Besides, we will both always be by our benefactor's side in the future. Let's ask the benefactor to give me a name. The little green jackal replied sincerely after a little thought.
"So?"
Tang Qingshan frowned. Originally, I thought it would just be to inquire about their names so that we could communicate in the future. I didn't expect to get another beautiful name. Tang Qingshan looked at the two little jackals in his arms.
"Brother, although you are young, but you have a calm personality, I hope you keep yourself, and you will be able to better protect your sister when you grow up in the future!
"My sister is naturally lively and active, pungent and brave. But I always make my brother worried, so I will name you Tang Wan. There isn't much deep meaning. I hope that one day in the future, after you take shape, you will be humble and gentle. As he spoke, he smiled and touched the little red jackal's forehead.
"Besides, don't call me from your old benefactor in the future, listen to strange things. How old are you?"
"Benefactor. Yes... No, it's the master. Tang Taiguo will be three hundred and fifteen years old this year. Slightly older sister three years old. ”
Listening to Atai's words, the smile on Tang Qingshan's face instantly froze.
"Uh... That's right!"
"Atai. ”
"Not true. ”
"Mr. Tang Tai?"
"It doesn't seem right. ”
Tang Qingshan struggled for a long time, but he didn't think of a suitable title. Tang Tai understood it.
"Master, but you're struggling with age?"
"I'm not entangled, but you are so old, and we talk to each other, which makes me a little uncomfortable. Tang Qingshan looked at the two little ones and said depressedly.
"The master doesn't have to be so tired about this. Our demon beast cultivation, before the age of three hundred, the intelligence was only the level of the human being, and with the deepening of cultivation, the spiritual intelligence can gradually improve. ”
"Although it is relatively rare for me to enter the period of detachment before the age of three hundred, no matter how you look at the Tang Tai brothers and sisters, they are inferior to the master, so I ask the master to take care of them more in the future. ”
"Hahaha, so you guys are my New Year's friends?"
"Me, I don't need you to call me by your heavenly master. You follow my surname Tang, if you don't dislike my young age, what do you think of calling me big brother?"
"When I rescued you, I said that if you want to stay, you can stay, and if you want to go, you can leave. Everyone is more comfortable. It also saves all the restraints of this world. "I talked about some things in detail, and I don't know when one man and two beasts fell asleep.
Waking up from the haze, Tang Qingshan felt that his left arm had lost sensation, and when he opened his eyes, Tang Tai was lying on his back and pillowing his left arm, breathing evenly on his little belly, Tang Wan was very well-behaved today, staring at a pair of big eyes, looking at his brother and Tang Qingshan for a while.
He put Tang Tai on the ground, made a cushion in front of him with hay, and turned around and touched Tang Wan's head.
"Take care of your brother, I'll see if I can find something to eat and come back. ”
Tang Wan licked Tang Qingshan's palm with her little tongue, and squatted in front of Tang Tai obediently. The white belly of the fish on the horizon became brighter and brighter, and Tang Qingshan ran quickly in the woods, digging up the roots of two sections of the silver camphor tree, and roasted one with the fire for a while. Although it tastes a little bitter, it is not much different from baked white potatoes, mainly because of hunger. Yesterday one day with two little ones running around, and at night to treat Tang Tai's wounds, everything settled down before I remembered that I still had two scones. There were only two burned branches left next to the fire, and a small branch was buried in the ground. The scones had already been burned in a blazing flame mixed with charcoal. After being hungry for a day and a night, Tang Qingshan urgently needed to replenish food.
By the time we got around the hillside, the sky was already bright, and the sun had just come out of the mountain and shone on the trees with a faint warmth. Tang Qingshan stretched his waist, just trying to soothe his mood.
Suddenly, his eyes locked on the trees in front of him, where a few small trees swayed slightly. Could it be that he was dazzled, Tang Qingshan calmed down and looked at the place he had just seen again. I saw that there were small trees swaying gently in the woods from time to time, but there was no wind now.
Thinking of this, Tang Qingshan's hair stood upside down. Mobilize the true qi and pour it into your feet and pull up.
