Chapter 22: Snow Wolves (1)

The small half of the roast leg of lamb was finally finished, and when night fell, Xuan Qi found a mountain col and settled Helian Yu'er, while he went to the market town a few miles away in search of food. Xuan Qi touched the market town, in addition to the cavalry he met before, there was also a barracks in the market town, and hundreds of Hun soldiers lived in it.

In the open space outside the room, the fragrant roasted whole sheep was roasted to a golden brown, and the grease dripped into the raging fire, and there was a squeaky sound. The man in the room cut the mutton one by one with a knife and sent it to each felt bag, and there was a loud shouting sound from the felt bag, and the unique sour taste of sour milk wine could be smelled from a distance.

Helian Yu'er put the fur on a stone, and she sat on, watching Xuanqi disappear into the night. In the past few days of fleeing, the two get along day and night, this Han man always makes himself feel more and more familiar, and there are many times, Helian Yuer even thinks that this man is the Xuanqi who makes him love and hate.

Helian Yu'er could fully feel that this man really cared about herself, if it was just for a few small money, why would this man who could be the dragon and phoenix among people be willing to do this? If he really had love for himself, why did this man often show affection and courtesy? Except for the night in the camp, this man seemed to be lost in his tenderness and beauty for a moment, but he was able to withdraw that desire in time, and never showed that he must get his own thoughts.

Is it because I am not beautiful enough? Helian Yu'er smiled bitterly.

A long wolf howl came, and Helian Yu'er was startled, quickly got up from the ground, took the spear from the horse, and held it tightly in his hand. The two horses also began to become restless, neighing and snorting incessantly, struggling back and forth to and fro to untie the reins from the stones.

The wolf howl sounded again, but it began to be a continuous wolf howl, and Helian Yu'er knew that the long howl of the wild wolf that had just come out to summon his companions had finally led his companions over. Countless wolf eyes like small lanterns kept appearing in the snow, stepping on small steps, slowly approaching the mountain col.

The neighing of the horses became louder and louder, and the sound of Helian Yu'er's hands began to tremble, and the sound of chattering teeth was clearly audible. Helian Yu'er finally made a decision, put the spear on the ground, and untied the reins of the two war horses, and with a long neigh, the two war horses quickly rushed out of the col.

The wolf howl sounded everywhere, and countless snow wolves rushed towards the two war horses that rushed out quickly, and in the neighing of the horses, Helian Yu'er could only pray that the two war horses that had accompanied him and Xuan Qi for more than seven days could escape the siege of the wolves, and as for himself, he could only wait for death.

Helian Yu'er retreated to the narrow part of the mountain pass, hoping that when the wolves rushed up, she could hold on a little longer. But is it useful to insist? Do you want to insist on waiting for Mr. Bai's arrival? Helian Yu'er suddenly felt a little heartache, but in her heart she thought that it was best for Mr. Bai not to come, with the ferocity of the snow wolf, one more person is just to send an extra food to the wolves.

The movement outside the col finally quieted down, and I didn't know if the two horses had escaped. At the entrance of the col, wolf eyes began to appear with cold light, two, four, and gradually more and more. The wolves slowly approached Helian Yu'er in the mountain col, and in the eyes of the wolves, Helian Yu'er had become a delicious food at this time, but it was just a matter of eating early and eating late.

The snow wolf that walked in the front was already less than three feet away from Helian Yu'er, getting closer and closer. Helian Yu'er, who was already trembling with fright, screamed, and the spear in his hand stabbed wildly, which immediately startled the wolves, and looked at Helian Yuer with some doubts. After a while, a snow wolf finally couldn't help but kick on the ground on its hind legs and leaped towards Helian Yu'er, and in the reflection of the snow, you could see the shining wolf teeth in the wolf's mouth.

Helian Yu'er screamed, her feet were a little weak, but she still instinctively smashed the spear in her hand towards the wolf's head. The wolf's head was deflected in the air, and he had already dodged Helian Yu'er's spear, but it was still swept by the spear to the wolf. A terrible howl rang out, and the snow wolf fell injured and fell on the snow, struggling backwards.

After a moment of hesitation, two more snow wolves howled and rushed towards Helian Yu'er. The spear in Helian Yu'er's hand stabbed and flicked wildly, and it immediately hit the head of a snow wolf, but the other snow wolf jumped up, and it was less than two feet away from Helian Yuer's head.

Helian Yu'er screamed in surprise, her trembling feet could no longer support it, and the whole person fell to the ground softly, but she just dodged the snow wolf that pounced on her. The snow wolf hit the stone behind Helian Yu'er, but it was also a little injured, howled twice, and immediately pounced on Helian Yu'er, who had fallen softly to the ground.

Helian Yu'er simply closed her eyes, and Nian'er, Xuanqi, and Mr. Bai flashed in her mind. While he was thinking about himself, a familiar scolding sound, followed by a terrible wolf howl. Helian Yu'er's face was hot, as if something had sprayed on her face, and she hurriedly reached out to touch it, but it was a sticky hand, and the bloody breath rushed straight to her mouth and nose.

Helian Yu'er screamed in surprise and opened her eyes, only to see a snow wolf lying on the ground in front of her, convulsing non-stop. There was a dagger at the wolf's head, but it didn't reach the handle, and there was still wolf blood flowing out, and what splashed on Helian Yuer's face was the blood that spurted out of the snow wolf's head.

At the sound of the wind, a familiar figure jumped down the slope of the col and stood beside Helian Yu'er. Helian Yu'er's eyes showed ecstasy, struggled to stand up, threw herself into Xuan Qi's arms, and hugged Xuan Qi's waist tightly. Xuan Qi grabbed Helian Yu'er with one hand, but picked up the spear on the ground with one foot, held it in his hand, patted Helian Yu'er's back with his hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid!

Feeling the warmth in Xuan Qi's arms, Helian Yu'er finally couldn't hold back any longer, tears burst out of her eyes, and she sobbed softly, "Where have you been? Where have you been? Do you know that Yu'er almost couldn't see you?"

"It's me who is not good! Believe me, I will never leave you again!" Xuan Qi hugged Helian Yu'er tightly, feeling a trace of sourness in his heart for no reason. Thinking of when he talked about throwing the dagger out, Xuan Qi couldn't help but be afraid for a while, as long as he came back a little late, he might really never see Helian Yu'er.

At that moment, Xuan Qi knew that he didn't just feel guilty and pity for Helian Yu'er, but also had an inexplicable feeling.
