Volume 1 Qingxuan Youdao 24. render good for evil
At the same time as the fire fold lit up, two green dots in the distance also lit up.
The green dot flickered and darkened, gradually moving from far to near. A few feet away in front of the cave, by the moonlight, the two saw that the green dot was two eyes, and then saw the giant wolf that appeared in the daytime.
They weren't afraid of it before, but now that they have a place of shelter, they are also not afraid.
General Gao blew the fire fold and lit the firewood he collected. The more vigorous flame gave the two of them warmth, and also gave them more courage and confidence. Most of the beasts are afraid of fire, and there will not be much danger until the fire is extinguished.
Contrary to his wishes, the giant wolf who took the initiative to retreat during the day did not leave this time. After wandering a few times not far in front of the fire, there was a faint momentum to rush through the flames and attack the two of them.
Undeterred, General Gao pulled out the burning branches from the fire and confronted him.
The giant wolf was not afraid, and while howling at General Gao, he frequently looked at Sima and asked.
General Gao's heart began to be anxious.
Fighting alone, he has the ability to fight with the beasts in front of him. If you go to protect Sima in the middle of the battle, you will have enough strength to do so. In his battle with the wild wolf, Sima Wenzhi is likely to become the fish in the pond that will be affected.
If you can't protect everything, it's better to take the initiative.
Most of the unchanged does not cope with all changes, but rather gives the opponent enough time to prepare. General Gao no longer confronted the wolf, took out his waist knife, and drove it away from the cave.
The imaginary grappling did not happen, General Gao took the initiative to drive away, and the giant wolf fled a little farther away. General Gao returned, and so did the giant wolf. After doing this a few times, a man and a wolf gradually moved away from the cave.
Seeing General Gao gradually moving away, Sima asked more and more uneasy. The uneasiness comes from incomprehension, the behavior of the giant wolf is very different before and after, and it will not be without reason.
While Sima asked to think about it, there was movement behind him. There was a rustling sound, and something was coming from behind. He instinctively wanted to look back to see what was behind him, but before he could look back, a furry paw was already on his shoulder.
It was impossible to turn back, and Sima Wenzhi quickly threw himself forward. Roll over as you fall to the ground and put your hands in front of your head. As soon as his hands were protected, a wolf's head came into view.
When he saw that there was still a wild wolf in the cave, Sima asked why the giant wolf had behaved abnormally.
This was the wolf's lair, and when he and General Gao entered, they didn't check it carefully, and in the deepest part of the cave was a smaller she-wolf, like the companion of the giant wolf before.
His life was at stake, and Sima Wen's death was against the wolf's head to prevent it from biting its neck. The she-wolf was impatient, and after several fruitless attempts, her two front paws began to scratch at his chest and abdomen.
At the critical moment, General Gao returned.
When the she-wolf heard the sound on Sima Wenzhi's body and wanted to escape, he was punched in the abdomen by General Gao, and retreated to the depths of the cave with a wail.
Seeing this, General Gao didn't wait for Sima to ask a reaction, picked him up and ran towards a huge tree far away from the cave.
The mountain wolf may not be afraid of fire, but it cannot climb trees. After some tossing, the two finally climbed up to a branch higher in the giant tree.
After settling down, Sima asked and was afraid.
The clothes on the chest have been torn, and the scriptures on the inside have been damaged in many places. Although the true scripture was damaged, it protected his heart, skin and flesh, and there was no wound on Sima Wenzhi's chest.
"I fell for a trick and almost caused a catastrophe. General Gao blamed himself.
Fortunately, Gao Bo returned in time and saved the boy's life. Sima asked with more than one relief.
The giant tree insulates from danger and also from warmth. The mountain wind did not recede, the mountain wind in the high places was more bitter than the ground, and the two of them struggled to support the day on top of the giant tree.
Halfway through, the sky gradually brightened. As they were about to descend to the ground and rush to the village ahead, the smaller she-wolf came into their sight.
The she-wolf came in the direction not before the cave. As he walked towards the giant tree where the two of them were, he stumbled a little.
At this moment, although the she-wolf can be quickly resolved, the lessons of the past are vivid, and General Gao is no longer rash.
The she-wolf went under the tree, and instead of howling angrily at them, she wailed in a low voice. While wailing, he frequently looked in the direction he came. After wailing, he turned around, took a few steps in the direction he had come, and then looked back at the two men in the tree. Seeing that Sima Wen and the two did not move, it returned and wailed again.
This is repeated, and the third time, Sima asked clearly, and it was asking for help.
Although the she-wolf staggered a little, it was not life-threatening. Asking the two for help should be for the giant wolf. It must have gone somewhere else, met the giant wolf, ran into trouble, and had no choice.
After thinking about it, Sima Wenzhi began to retreat under the tree. General Gao didn't know the inside story and issued a warning. Sima asked if he had his own plans, but he did not respond. Seeing this, General Gao could only follow him to climb under the tree, and protect him behind him after landing.
When the she-wolf saw the two of them coming down from the tree, her eyes sparkled. Seeing the change in its face, Sima Wenzhi became more convinced of his previous speculation, and walked out from behind General Gao.
The she-wolf turned and walked back, staggering. Sima asked behind it, slowly following. General Gao's previous punch was very heavy, and it had not recovered at this time.
An hour later, at dawn, the wolf stopped, and so did the two.
Before stopping, Sima Wenzhi had already seen the giant wolf on the side of the road. One of the wolf's front paws was caught in a trap laid by the hunter, revealing white bones.
Hunters lay traps, mostly to catch small animals such as rabbits and rats, and in order to prevent damage to animal skins, the strength of the animal clamp is not very large.
Sima Wenzhi's previous speculation was not wrong, and the giant wolf had struggled after being chased by General Gao and strayed into a trap. After struggling to no avail, he asked them for help.
The she-wolf looked at General Gao, who was unmoved. Turning to look at Sima Wenzhi, Sima Wenzhi understood, and stepped forward to take off the beast clip.
"Childe, don't forget Mr. Dongguo. General Gao reminded him.
Sima nodded after hearing this.
What he did at this time was no different from what Dong Guo did back then. But he didn't stop his movements, not everyone can do it if he doesn't save him, just like repaying grievances with virtue is not everyone can do it.
When he broke the trap, the giant wolf was in pain and suddenly howled angrily.
While the giant wolf howled, the she-wolf changed her previous weak appearance and howled loudly at the giant wolf. When the wolf heard it, he stopped howling and changed it to a low whine with fear in his voice.
It was not a task to break the trap, and the giant wolf's injuries to the bones were indeed caused by a random struggle. After breaking free, the she-wolf led the giant wolf in the direction of the cave. By this time it was mostly recovering, and it was walking ahead. The giant wolf suffered a wound to one of its front paws and slowly followed.
Every distance she walked, the she-wolf would turn around and howl at the giant wolf. The giant wolf's tail hung down, and his mouth whined in response.
Seeing the situation of the giant wolf at this time, Sima Wenzhi thought of the old man he had met before. I wonder if he has caught the hare and returned home.
