Chapter 21: The Wolves

Willing to lose the bet and jump down from the tree, Qin Yue asked the boy, "What do you want?" ”

The boy said seriously, "I'm not asking you to do anything for me, and I don't need you to do anything for me." but I was entrusted to say a few words to you. Explain in advance, don't ask me who the client is, what kind of sect is it? If you ask, I won't tell you. Seriously, I don't know why he did this, but I've promised him, and I'm going to have to keep it. I don't know if it's possible?"

"Whatever you want, just say it. Qin Yue was a little curious.

"Someone asked me to tell you that things in this world are complicated, and you must not trust others. Some things, even if they are seen with their own eyes, even if they are heard with their own ears, even if they are touched with their own hands, may not be true. ”

"What you see with your own eyes, what you hear with your own ears, and what you touch with your own hands, why is it not real?" Qin Yue asked puzzled.

"You must have heard the story of a blind man touching an elephant, who touched the body of an elephant said that the elephant was a wall, who touched the leg of an elephant said that the elephant was a pillar, who touched the tusks said that the elephant was a stick, and who touched the trunk of an elephant said that the elephant was a thick rope. But we know that the real elephant is not a wall, not a pillar, not a stick, not a rope. ”

"That's just touching with your hands, if you weren't blind, would you be able to see it with your eyes? ”

"It depends on how you look at it. "If you look at it like this, isn't the elephant still a wall, a pillar, a stick, and a rope?"

Qin Yue listened to the boy's words and felt that it made sense, so she didn't say anything more. Qin Yue looked at the boy and waited for him to continue, but the boy didn't speak again.

"Why don't you say it?" Qin Yue asked.

"That's it. The boy spread his hands.

"Just those words?" Qin Yue felt very strange.

"That's what people asked me to say. The boy replied.

"Can you tell me that you are in the same group as the person in front of you?" Qin Yue stared at the boy's eyes.

"Not really. The boy replied.

"Is it true?" Qin Yue asked.

"Is it necessary to tell a lie?" the boy was a little confused.

"I don't know who I asked you to pass the word, and since I promised you, I won't ask again. However, I can guess who they are. Please tell the person who entrusted you with the message: No one who participated in the murder of my father back then should think about life. Even if my father committed suicide, he was forced to die by these people. And how could my father commit suicide? If he can hand over the direct real culprit, the meritorious person may be able to be punished lightly. Qin Yue said in a fierce voice.

"As far as I know, there were hundreds of people involved back then, are these people going to die for your father?"

"The lives of all these people together are not worth my father's life. Qin Yue's eyes radiated with hatred.

"You're so young, so angry. I'm listening to you to go on a killing spree. At that time, there were many people who just wanted to see the excitement, and of course many people may have a plan. They have hateful things, but they don't sin unto death, do they? ”

"Who ever thought of sparing my father? Everyone has to pay for their actions, you always know that?"

"I think you're probably talking angry, I don't look at your face, you don't look like a person who kills innocents indiscriminately and kills people without blinking"

"Then you might as well wait and see. Seeing what the boy was saying, Qin Yue waved his hand, "No need to say more, please bring my words to you." ”

"Okay! The boy arched his hand to Qin Yue, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to complete my trust and say goodbye." With that, the boy turned back and went deep into the forest.

Speaking from the heart, this boy did not leave a bad impression on Qin Yue. "Hey, wait a minute. ”

The boy stood and turned around.

"Did you really never lose a bet?"

"I really haven't lost. ”

"How is it possible?" Qin Yue didn't believe it.

"Absolutely, because today is the first time I've made a bet with someone. With that, the boy smirked.

Qin Yue couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this.

Qin Yue got back on the horse, looked at the horseshoe prints on the road, and chased after him again.

It is a standard mountain road, which is wider in some places and narrow in others. The road was really not short, and after walking for a long time, I came to a fork in the road.

The front is divided into three roads that lead in three directions. Qin Yue dismounted and looked, there were messy horseshoe prints on these three roads, and he couldn't judge the whereabouts of the person he was chasing. Qin Yue looked around, there was no one there, and there was nowhere to ask. After thinking for a moment, he turned the horse's head.

She complained a little in her heart about the boy, if it wasn't for the delay, she might not have lost people.

Maybe this guy is in the same group as these people, and he's just buying time for these people. Qin Yue thought of this, and felt that she had accidentally fallen for this boy. But after thinking about it, since these people kept saying that they wanted to see themselves, why did they come and avoid them?

Qin Yue was puzzled.

Looking at the sky, it looks like I'm going to sleep in the mountains and forests tonight. Qin Yue found a tender grass to let go of the horse, and took out the dry food prepared by the fifth master and had a simple dinner. When the horses were full, they found a mountain spring to drink the horses, and filled the sheepskin water bladder with water.

Qin Yue looked at the sky, it was a clear night, a bright moon hung high in the treetops, and the sky was full of stars.

Qin Yue found two suitable trees and fixed the sleeping cloth. He tied the reins to the tree and jumped onto the sleeping sheet. With the mountains and forests as her companion for many years, Qin Yue fell asleep quickly, but her ears were always vigilant in all directions.

In the middle of the night, Qin Yue heard the frightened neighing of the horse, and jumped from the sleeping cloth sheet to the ground.

Qin Yue used her hand to soothe the frightened horse while observing her surroundings in the night. Seeing pairs of green light flickering in the moonlight not far away, Qin Yue knew that he had encountered a pack of wolves. Qin Yue counted ten of them, but fortunately they were not a large group.

It's easy to deal with these dozen wolves, but I'm afraid of hurting my mount. I loosen the reins of the horse and want to let the horse go. But thinking that this is Yan Lao's dart-headed horse, he is not very familiar with himself, so he is afraid that the horse will run away.

Qin Yue turned over and got on her horse, wanting to rush out of the wolf pack first, but the horse was so frightened that she trembled and didn't obey the call at all. Qin Yue reluctantly got off the horse again, guarding the horse's head, taking care of both sides of the horse, but the horse's tail was exposed to the wolves.

Qin Yue thought that he could only use heavy hands and kill a few, maybe it could have a deterrent effect on the wolves.

The encirclement of the wolves is getting smaller and smaller, and Qin Yue is lucky. Just as he was about to use Shigong's unique stunt to take the life of the wolf who rushed to the front in the air, Qin Yue suddenly remembered that the fifth master said that when Daddy found himself in the deep mountains and dense forests, a she-wolf was breastfeeding herself.

Qin Yue suddenly became a little ruthless. But the wolves were approaching, and the horses were wailing. Qin Yue had to and couldn't help but do it again, and he couldn't throw his life here? Qin Yue, who was so anxious, couldn't help but let out a long howl.

But what happened next confused Qin Yue. Hearing Qin Yue's long howl, all the wolves stopped. The old wolf at the front, who looked like a wolf, also barked at Qin Yue, as if he was communicating with Qin Yue.

Qin Yue didn't even think about it, and learned the wolf's howl a few more times. The wolves didn't move forward, but they didn't retreat either, and Qin Yue and the wolves confronted each other. Could it be that this night was so deadlocked, Qin Yue's head was thinking of ideas quickly. She suddenly remembered that the package she had brought from the mountains contained jerky from the mountains, and she took out the jerky from the package and threw a few pieces to the head wolf.

The head wolf sniffed with his nose and circled the jerky a few more times. Qin Yue learned the wolf's voice and barked a few more times, and the head wolf licked it with his tongue and began to eat carefully.

When the first wolf eats, the rest of the wolves can only surround themselves, and the first wolf eats a piece and screams, and the other wolves come up and grab it.

After eating after a while, the head wolf was still barking at Qin Yue, which meant that he hadn't eaten enough.

Qin Yue took out all the jerky and poured it to the ground, and the wolves swarmed up.

When they were all finished, the wolf barked at her. Qin Yue also took out the leftover dry food and threw it to the wolves, who refused to eat it even after smelling it.

The head wolf barked at Qin Yue again, and Qin Yue had nothing left this time. I had to shake the empty package at the wolves, and learned a few wolf howls, she didn't know if the wolves understood or not, anyway, what she meant was that I really didn't have it.

The head wolf seemed to understand, and didn't bark at Qin Yue. Qin Yue patted her horse at the wolves, waved her hand into the distance, the head wolf seemed to understand what she meant, and called a few times The wolves slowly retreated. There was no trace of the wolf in sight, so Qin Yue was relieved to return to the sleeping cloth sheet.

In the morning, because of last night's toss, Qin Yue got up a little late.

She jumped out of her sleeping bag and was about to practice, only to find a few dead hares under the tree where she was sleeping. She quickly thought of where these dead hares came from, and she didn't think that these wolves knew how to reciprocate.

Thinking that the food on my body was gone, I was feeling hungry, and I was also worried about today's breakfast, but I didn't expect things to be ready-made.

She took out a knife and neatly disemboweled, belly and skinned the rabbit. Then he erected a triangular wooden frame, found some dry wood, and lit it with a fire sickle. He began to put the hare he had packed up, put it on a branch, and roasted it on the fire.

The aroma of the barbecue attracted the wild wolf again, and after the roast was cooked, Qin Yue ate it herself and gave it to the wolf.

The strange thing is that these wolves also seem to know that they are delicious when they are roasted, and they will not leave after eating, and they will not eat the raw meat when they are given it.

Qin Yue simply became a cook for these wolves, roasted all the rabbits, and ate them all, but these wolves still refused to leave. But Qin Yue had clearly sensed that these wolves were no longer hostile.

Qin Yue walked up to the head wolf, who was very vigilant, but did not move. Touching the wolf's head with his hand, he could feel the wolf trembling a little at first, but after a while, he calmed down, and arched Qin Yue affectionately with his head.

Qin Yue held the wolf's head in her arms, just like holding her own pony when she was a child. After making out with the wolf for a while, Qin Yue let go of the wolf's head, and the head wolf jumped a few times at Qin Yue's feet.
