Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The evening breeze is blowing, the sunset is remnant, and on an endless avenue, two people are slowly moving forward with a long black shadow.

The man walking in front was dressed as a scholar, a little thin, and carried a simple bamboo frame behind him, and the bamboo frame was full of sage books, which did not look too heavy, but the man walked forward with the bamboo frame on his back, but his forehead was sweaty and out of breath.

A few steps behind is a woman, with an ordinary appearance, dark skin, calluses on the joints of her hands, very rough, some of her nails have been cracked, apparently caused by often doing farm work.

The baby was born white and tender, a little slender, tightly wrapped in a musty-smelling torn cotton jacket, and a gray appearance on the outside of the cotton jacket, which was covered with patches.

When the woman heard the scholar's sneezing, she immediately raised her head and asked with concern: "Husband, the evening breeze is slightly cool, you should wear this coat, this time you went to Beijing to take the exam, if your body freezes to death, haven't we all worked in vain in the past three years?"

The scholar in front carefully wiped his nose with his sleeve, then turned around, looked at the woman and the baby in her arms gently, and said with a smile: "It's okay, this little wind can't down."

"Liar, do you think I didn't look at you and you wiped your nose? You have been studying at home, preparing for the big exam, and your body is weaker than ordinary people.

After speaking, the woman took off the gray robe and threw it to the scholar, then took off her coat and wrapped it around the padded jacket.

The scholar caught the gray robe, hesitated a little, and did not put it on, the woman glanced at it, and persuaded again: "You better put it on, this critical moment, there is no room for mistakes.

The scholar looked at the woman's somewhat reproachful face, and then he was a little embarrassed to put down the bamboo frame, put on a gray robe, and then carried the bamboo frame on his back, and then hurried.

"That's right, the success or failure of our family is here, you are the hope of me and my children." The woman said with a smile.

"Alas, it's really hard for you.Five years ago, I fell off the list again, and people were bullied.The family was already poor in order to make up for my travel expenses, and you and I were about to get married, there was no decent dowry, I felt speechless to face your family, and ran to the river at the mouth of the West Village alone, wanting to commit suicide.At this moment, two carps in the river that were three feet big jumped ashore, and I had a dowry, and the two carp married you into the door.At that time, the family was surrounded by four walls, and you didn't have a full meal since the day you passed the door.My parents broke their hearts for me and left one after another.Their aftermath was handled by you, and they were buried in peace.I was busy with academics, and I didn't fulfill my husband's responsibilities, so you would make your life trivialYue Mei, I'm sorry for you."

The scholar who walked in front sighed, did not look back, and began to talk to himself, the voice was not loud, but the woman who was only a few steps behind could hear it clearly, and her heart was sweet, and she suddenly felt that all the hardships she had suffered over the years were worth it.

The woman's eyes were full of tears, she didn't say anything, she looked at the baby in her arms lovingly, supported his little head with her right hand, and rubbed it a few times with her slightly red face.

The sun went down quickly, and it didn't take long for it to get completely dark.

The couple was lucky to find a ruined temple, although they could look up at the stars and not shelter from the wind and rain, but it was finally a place to stay, and it was better than nothing.

"The moon hangs on the branches, the stars are shining, it looks like there will be no rain tomorrow, just in a hurry, there is still half a month left to go to the nearest big city to apply for the exam." The man looked at the sky, put down the bamboo frame, and immediately took out a book from it, and looked at it seriously by the moonlight, thinking carefully about the deep meaning.

She picked up some branches near the ruined temple, made a fire, and then brought three stones of about the same height and put them around the fire, and then put the iron pot she carried with her, poured water out of the water bag, and then took out a small cloth bag from the package, grabbed a handful of rice and put it in the pot, and then the woman picked up the baby and sat down by the fire, humming a little song while adding branches.

Soon the water in the iron pot boiled, and there was a white mist, and when the woman was about to pick up the dead branches, she put some wild vegetables picked by the way into the pot, and then stirred it with a wooden spoon a few times, and suddenly a fresh fragrance came out, making the two people who were already hungry swallow their saliva, and their stomachs were purring.

The woman took out three wooden bowls and divided the rice porridge in the pot into three.The bowl with the most rice grains was given to the scholar.The second wooden bowl was full of sticky rice porridge, but the amount was a little less, apparently for the child.The last one only had a small amount of rice, most of which were still wild vegetables just put in, and the clear soup was not watery, it seemed that this was the woman's dinner today.

The three of them ate no rice porridge left, the woman cleaned up the pots and bowls, walked to the side of the fire, lay down with the child, hummed nursery rhymes, and patiently coaxed him to sleep.

"Husband, you are busy preparing for the exam these days, and it has been almost five months since the birth of the child, and I haven't asked you what name you want to choose?" Seeing the baby clasping her hands and slowly closing her eyes, the woman suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Ah, five months, it's been so long! Since this son came to our Shuo family and became my Shuo Fang's son, it is naturally the dragon and phoenix among the people.

"Shuolong, Shuolong, isn't it a little too straightforward, too public?" The woman muttered twice and said what she thought.

"Madame's words are wrong, you see."

The scholar smiled mysteriously, took out the four treasures of the study, wrote something on a yellowed piece of paper, walked up to the woman and unfolded it to her.

The handwriting on the yellow paper is fresh and elegant, and there are two words written, Shuochen.

"Chen, the heavenly stem and the earthly branch, belong to the dragon, I remember that our son belongs to the dragon. The scholar pointed to the word Chen and patiently told the woman.

"Chen, Shuochen, Shuochen, well, that's a nice name, son, you have a name, and you'll be called Shuochen in the future."

After the woman finished speaking, a touch of cunning appeared in the corner of her eyes, snatched the yellow paper in the scholar's hand, carefully folded it, and put it into the baby's torn cotton jacket.

The family of three lived a hard and happy life until they entered the town and let the scholars gain fame.

But there is nothing so good in the world!

A group of local bullies went out hunting today, a group of five people, and they accidentally found a snow wolf's den, and there were two wolf cubs waiting to be fed.

This is an adult she-wolf, half a human tall, not very tall, but the snow wolf's strength is not in the body shape, speed is its advantage, and the claws and teeth are extremely sharp, three points harder than steel.

The arrival of the bully angered the snow wolf's ferocity, and the snow wolf's snow-white soft fur was the best leather, and the two sides were hostile to each other, and there was a fight.

When the bully saw his brother dead, he was furious and took advantage of the others to lure the snow wolf away and personally gave the two wolf cubs two axes.

Seeing the death of his son, the snow wolf seemed to be crazy and pounced on the others, and the bullies and others were scratched and bitten, and one by one they could not bear the attack of the snow wolf, and fled in a hurry.

The snow wolf was attacking, because the left forelimb was inconvenient, and was directly attacked by the bully, and he was hit with an axe, cutting off the entire left forelimb with a bone, but the bully's shoulder was also bitten by the snow wolf, tearing off a large piece of flesh and blood, and almost didn't bite off his arm.

With only three legs left, the snow wolf wanted to chase the bullies, but he was also powerless, and in the desperate running, he watched them escape.

The snow wolf returned to the wolf's den exhausted, looking at the wolf cub who had been silent, the snow wolf seemed to be unacceptable, and pressed the corpse of the wolf cub with its hot nose, and made a "woo" call in his mouth, but the response was the cold feeling of the little wolf.

As soon as the snow wolf raised his head, he raised his head to the sky and howled, and his voice was full of endless sadness.

The bullies fled all the way to the town, and on the way, they were even more anxious and fell a lot.

"Damn, it's really unlucky, I didn't catch anything this time, and Lao Tzu's teeth were broken."

A fierce man got up from the ground and hurried away, his mouth turned upside down a few times, and he spat out a bloody tooth.

"Are you miserable? That Ermazi was bitten by his throat alive, are you miserable?" A monkey-cheeked man with a sharp mouth heard this and turned around and retorted.

"This snow wolf is really fierce, a little more fierce than the rumors, and we are also unlucky, we met a female wolf who happened to have just left wolf cubs, this motherhood erupted, hey, no one can stop it." A strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist smiled innocently.

"Don't shout, be careful that the sound lures this beast over, we're all wounded now, but not necessarily its opponent." An extremely ordinary-looking middle-aged man spoke, his voice extremely gloomy.

This man was holding a single axe, the blade of which was silver and shiny, obviously a sharp blade, and it was still dripping with the blood of the snow wolf.

When the man with the monkey cheeks heard the middle-aged man say this, he immediately smiled and agreed: "The boss is right, let's go back to the town first, it's important to recuperate."

Then all four of them were silent, and just hurried away.

"Look where there is a fire." The strong man with the tiger's back pointed to a bright place in the west and opened his mouth to remind.

"How can there be people in this wilderness? Could it be a business trip?" The fierce man muttered to himself.

The man with the monkey cheeks turned his head to look at the middle-aged man and asked, "Boss, what do you think?"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then stared at the light and said: "Go, look, if there are many other parties, we will leave quietly, if it is not as good as us, just kill him, damn, Lao Tzu doesn't like to go back empty-handed."

"Hehe, the boss said well, let's go, if it's a single businessman who doesn't have long eyes, we won't lose money this time." The man with the sharp mouth and cheeks laughed twice, waved his arm, and quietly walked towards the light source with this excitement.

At this moment, the two people in the ruined temple did not know that the danger was slowly approaching.

The scholar closed the book, opened his mouth and yawned, stretched his waist, looked at the mother and son near the fire, and saw that the two had already fallen asleep, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Just as he got up and walked towards the baby, suddenly there was a flash somewhere outside the temple, and it shook his eyes, it was the moonlight accidentally reflected by the axe in the hand of the middle-aged man who was lying in ambush outside.

"Who?"

But as soon as he said it, he regretted it a little. At this moment, he is a weak scholar, with his wife and children, in the wilderness, this situation is really bad for himself.

"Hehe, it turned out to be a scholar, so there's nothing to be afraid of now." It was the middle-aged man with a single axe who spoke.

Four men poked out of the grass outside the temple and were looking at the scholars inside the temple with ill will.

"If you go to high school in the future, you will be invited to share the glory of all righteous people." The scholar clasped his fists at the four of them and said slowly, his expression full of humility and respect.

"Don't come to the vain, we're not righteous men, hand over what is valuable to you, and I'll spare your life." The fierce man jumped out, and although he was wounded, it only increased his ferocity.

When the scholar heard this, he only thought for a moment, and immediately stretched out his hand into his arms, intending to give away a few taels of silver that he had sold his land in exchange for peace.

"Hey, big brother, this guy still has a wife and children."

Previously, because of the obstruction of the earthen wall, the four of them thought that there was only one scholar at first, and as long as the other party handed over the money, it would not be enough to kill.

This woman is a good thing, whether it is used as a labor call or a personal plaything, there is a place where it can be used.

As soon as the other three heard that there was a woman, their hearts immediately itched. If the scholar was willing to take the woman away, then it would be better to say that he would not be spared.

Now the two empires of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Chu Dynasty are fighting in full swing in order to compete for hegemony, and the world is very chaotic.

The scholar saw the change in the mentality of several people at a glance, and when he was about to throw the broken silver at the middle-aged man, he strode forward and kicked his wife in the shoulder.

"Run!"

The woman was a little puzzled, but suddenly heard the surprise of the people outside the temple, and suddenly understood something, hurriedly got up, picked up the baby, ran through the cracks in the collapsed wall, and ran towards the dark and boundless woods.

When the four bullies saw this, they were immediately furious, and the four of them stepped forward one after another, wanting to chase the fleeing woman. The scholar kicked over the fire, and a large spark branch threw itself at the four bullies, making them dodge in embarrassment for a while.

"You three will bring me the woman back, and this scholar will be handed over to me, damn, I have to tear his bones with my own hands." The middle-aged man put down a cruel sentence, carried a single axe, and chased in the direction of the scholar's escape.

The other three didn't reply, and immediately "swished" with some rumors, and chased in the direction where the woman fled.

The woman ran forward as hard as she could, but it didn't take long for her to be tired and out of breath, and her speed was greatly reduced, and soon she heard the sound of "rustling" through the woods and grass behind her.

It is no wonder that the woman eats very little for dinner, and it is all some indigestible wild vegetables, how can there be any nutrition, she not only does all the housework, plus she also holds a child, how can she be the opponent of three strong men.

The woman could not bear the poison of the baby in her arms, gritted her teeth, put him in a pile of towering grass, and bit off a piece of flesh from her wrist for the baby to use as food.

"Good boy, don't cry again."

The woman resisted the reluctance in her heart, left a few tears, and then turned and ran in the other direction, and shouted in her mouth, in the silence of the woods, very harsh.

"Haha, little beauty, don't be afraid, come out obediently, we will hurt you well."

"Yes, as long as you are comfortable serving our masters, maybe you will be sold to a good family and continue to live your little life."

"Hehe, if you are disobedient, we will sell you to the kiln and make you a kiln sister who rides thousands of people across 10,000 people, and then life is better than death."

The three of them were surprised by the change in the women, but as long as they could clearly know each other's positions, the three men couldn't stop a woman?

The three of them knew that something was wrong, but they still changed direction and chased in the direction where the woman had fled.

At that time, the little baby was only three feet away from them, but he was extremely obedient, his eyes widened, and he looked innocently at the bright moon in the sky, and kept sticking out his little red tongue, licking his mother's flesh, and did not make a sound at all for the whole night.

The moon shadow sinks in the west, the east is white, and the night passes peacefully.

The little baby had stopped licking, its mouth was slightly open, its eyes were closed, and it fell into a deep sleep, and the pieces of flesh were thrown aside by him, and the red flesh had been turned white by his licking.

A huge figure came to the baby, a snow-white silver hair swayed slightly with the morning breeze, three thick thighs stood tall, two bloodshot eyes stared at the sleeping baby, the mouth issued a warning "woo", and the whole body was full of murderous aura.

It's the snow wolf who has a fierce battle with the bully!

After the snow wolf woke up, it stood up tremblingly again, walked to the wolf cub, stretched out its hot tongue and licked it twice, the result was extremely cold to the touch, and the snow wolf was extremely sad in the bottom of his heart.

Just when the sky was about to dawn, the morning breeze blew slowly, and the morning wind sent the smell of blood from the east to the bottom of its nose.

The snow wolf jumped forward on three legs, looking for the smell of blood and came to the baby.

The two eyes were like sharp swords, staring at the somewhat cute little baby, and the snow wolf walked in slowly, opening his mouth to tear the baby in front of him to pieces.

At this moment, the baby suddenly stretched, yawned loudly, opened his round eyes, innocently stared at the bloody mouth in front of him, and suddenly "giggled".

The baby has never seen the snow wolf, and happily stretched out his hands, wanting to touch it, and his mouth was "babbling".

Although the baby's strength is not great, it should not be able to pull off the white whiskers of the snow wolf, but the snow wolf was too frightened, and quickly raised his head.

The baby was pulled by the force, rolled to the belly of the snow wolf, held a white whisker in his hand, waved non-stop, and laughed "giggle", as if he had won.

But the baby suddenly saw the snow wolf's wolf milk and the white wolf milk overflowing from the top.

The snow wolf was startled, jumped out of the way with three legs in unison, grinned at the baby, and made a "woo" angry sound.

I don't know if the snow wolf understood the baby's words, or its motherhood, after confronting the baby for a while, he miraculously retracted his anger, slowly walked to the baby's side and lay down, the baby's hand just reached one of the wolf milk, pulled it, stuffed it into the mouth, and then came out a little sucking sound.

The baby is already five months old, and the demand for milk is still very large, he has eaten up the milk of the two wolf milks of the snow wolf, and then the little hand is released, burped, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

During this time, the snow wolf quietly lay down beside the baby, and did not attack, but sometimes looked at the small things around him, and sometimes raised his head to guard the surroundings, the snow-white tail shook east and west, and seemed to be in a good mood.

The snow wolf got up and stared at the baby who was snoring for a while, and finally lowered his head and bit the child's body, and walked towards his wolf den, it seemed that he was planning to raise the baby as a wolf cub.
