Chapter 9: Good Causes
Chapter 9: Good Causes
The gap between imagination and reality is always sad. Dugu Yu thought that going out to train should be full of thrills, but the reality slapped him hard. Not long after he walked out of the Nanshan tribe, he was hungry and clamoring to eat, but when he saw the food brought by Meng Yu, he had an urge to cry, the dry and hard beef, the bite was jerky and unpalatable, and there was no taste at all. The water was better, but Meng Yu said that it could only be supplied in limited quantities, and he would only be given a little drink at a time. Duguyu could bear this kind of hardship, but when he saw Feng Wu, a girl did not complain, but was full of interest in this training. His face was a little feverish, and when he thought that it was still his own request to come out for training, he was even more embarrassed to complain to Meng Yu again, so he could only pray in his heart that this training could end early.
Seeing Duguyu's aggrieved appearance, Meng Yu knew that Duguyu was a little unbearable, after all, a person who was used to the life of a young master could not be changed all at once. So he looked at Dugu Yu and said solemnly, "If you want to become a hero, suffering is a compulsory knowledge." If you can't even stand this little bit of suffering, then it's better to give up early and come more relaxed. Materially one can get something for nothing, but in the soul there is no one who can get something for nothing. Martial arts seem to be self-cultivation, but in fact they cultivate their hearts, and people who do not have a strong heart will not go far in the cultivation of martial arts. Hearing Meng Yu's words, the expression on Dugu Yu's face began to become serious, and he followed Meng Yu's footsteps closely. Compared with Dugu Yu, Feng Wu's situation is much better, and suffering from childhood has made her know how to persevere and endure more. From the beginning, her interest was always high. From time to time, she picked some herbs in the mountains and put them in the bamboo cage on her back, and the herbs she picked were already dripping all over the bamboo cage along the way.
Soon they were deep in the forest, and the number of large animals increased. But most of them are some herbivores, and occasionally you will encounter one or two foxes and leopards. But as soon as the animals saw them with their weapons, they were so frightened that they disappeared. Seeing that the animals here were so smart, Meng Yu also showed a hint of surprise. This situation made Dugu Yu, who had always wanted to behave in front of Meng Yu, very distressed, his face was wrinkled, he picked up the stones on the side of the road from time to time, and took the birds flying in the woods to vent his anger, and Meng Yu did not restrain him, so he didn't see it. But what Meng Yu didn't expect was that it was his thought that caused him a big trouble.
I saw that Dugu Yu had just thrown a stone and hit the tree, and he heard a buzzing sound, and Meng Yu looked into the distance and found that a dense yellow shadow flew in the distance. Seeing this, Meng Yu grabbed Dugu Yu and Feng Wu's hands and ran into the dense forest. After running for about a quarter of an hour, I heard the buzz behind me disappear. Only then did Meng Yu stop and let go of the hands of the two people. The hand was let go by Meng Yu, Dugu Yu sat on the ground holding the hand that was caught by Meng Yu and kept panting, Feng Wu was blushing, and he didn't know if it was because Meng Yu was shy about catching his hand or because he was tired after running for so long, but his gaze at Meng Yu was not as natural as before.
After the two of them rested, Meng Yu set his eyes on Dugu Yu. Finding Meng Yu looking at him, Duguyu lowered his head embarrassedly. Seeing this, Meng Yu didn't want to say anything, and glared at Dugu Yu fiercely. So I went to check the surroundings to see where they were now and if they could leave as soon as possible. After checking and comparing the map given by Duguyu's father, Meng Yu found that on the map given by Duguyu's father, there was no mark of this place at all.
Finding that they might have unknowingly walked into an unfamiliar environment, Meng Yu truthfully told Dugu Yu and Feng Wu what he had discovered. Hearing Meng Yu's speculation, Dugu Yu said with a face full of shame, "It's all my fault, if I hadn't thrown stones and hit the hornet's nest, we wouldn't have broken into this strange environment, it's all his fault, he will." Hearing Dugu Yu say this, Meng Yu interjected and said seriously, "The important thing now is how to get out of here, not to find out whose fault this matter is." Everyone can't avoid making mistakes, but if you don't know how to make up for your mistakes after making them, you are making bigger mistakes, and such people are stupid and unforgivable. Hearing Meng Yu's words, Dugu Yu swallowed back the words that had come to his mouth. As for Feng Wu, he didn't say a word from beginning to end, just kept looking at Meng Yu, as if he was talking about what Meng Yu said to do. Seeing this, Meng Yu didn't say anything else, and began to think about how to walk back to the area they were familiar with.
After some deep thought, Meng Yu thought of a way to return to the area they were familiar with, that is, to follow the trail they had come, they had run too fast when they came, and they were a little panicked, and they would inevitably leave some traces to find. Thinking of this, Meng Yu immediately began to act, because once it was dark, the traces would be more difficult to find, and the chances of them walking back to their familiar area would be even smaller, because if they dragged it until tomorrow, it would inevitably be destroyed by some animals. With Dugu Yu and Feng Wu looking for traces of their arrival, while hurrying, before they knew it, the sky began to darken, and Meng Yu's footsteps couldn't help but start to speed up a few steps.
Just as Meng Yu and the others were busy hurrying, there was a tiger roar mixed with the sound of apes in the distance. They looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a giant black tiger chasing a white figure in the distance. Because the distance was too far away and the white figure was too small, it was difficult for them to tell what kind of animal the white figure was. But this uncertainty did not last long, and they discovered that the white figure turned out to be a small white ape. Seeing the little white ape being chased by a big black tiger, and there were a few bright red claw wounds on his body, it made people feel very pitiful. Feng Wu couldn't help but watch Meng Yu flow out of the color of pleading, seeing this, Meng Yu smiled and said, "Then you go up and try to see if you can get off the little white ape, if you can't save it, I'll help you."
Hearing that Meng Yu agreed to his request, Feng Wu happily took out the bow and arrow behind him and shot an arrow at the big black tiger, I have to say that Feng Wu's archery skills are still practiced well, and the first one hit the big black tiger. The big black tiger that was suddenly shot by an arrow roared and pounced forward, and the little white ape flew to the ground with one claw. But after flying the little white ape, the big black tiger did not rush towards the little white ape, but turned around and rushed towards Feng Wu. Seeing the big black tiger rushing towards her, Feng Wu's expression suddenly became flustered, but she still shot an arrow at the big black tiger. I don't know if it was the danger that oppressed the potential of Feng Wu's archery, or by chance, Feng Wu's arrow hit the black tiger's left eye without any deviation. The pace of the big black tiger that rushed over slowed down suddenly, and the blood flowing from the left eye stained the big black tiger's cheek, which made the big black tiger, which was already dark, even more terrifying all of a sudden.
If the previous arrow angered the Great Black Tiger, then this arrow undoubtedly made the Great Black Tiger furious. The big black tiger who was blinded in his left eye by Feng Wu looked at Feng Wu, and his eyes were full of anger and madness. With a kick of his hind feet, he flew from the ground to Feng Wu, and his two front paws flashed with a cold light. Feng Wu, who was standing in front of the big black tiger, had already drawn the saber at his waist after shooting the arrow, ready for battle. But Rao was so frightened that Feng Wu still took a few steps back before he stood firm.
Dugu Yu, who was standing beside Meng Yu, had never left the battlefield with his eyes since the beginning of the battle, and when he saw Feng Wu dealing with the big black tiger, the look on his face was excited for a while and worried for a while. Seeing the furious big black tiger flying towards Feng Wu, his legs began to tremble, and his eyes closed in fright.
Seeing the furious big black tiger flying towards Feng Wu, Meng Yu knew that this battle was no longer something that Feng Wu could solve. took Duguyu's iron-headed spear, and the internal force in his body was used on the spear, and he threw it at the big black tiger with a dance. The spear of more than two meters passed through the body of the big black tiger and nailed it to the tree in the distance, and a few drops of reddish blood dripped from time to time on the spear. The big black tiger fell in front of Feng Wu, and the frightened Feng Wu stood in place, sweating on his head, and he didn't know whether he was frightened by the big black tiger or shocked by Meng Yu's power.
Dugu Yu, who closed his eyes in fright, was frightened by the big black tiger flying towards Feng Wu, and after a while, he opened his eyes after not hearing the roar and cry he expected. But after seeing the big black tiger lying at Feng Wu's feet and the blood-stained spear nailed to the tree in the distance, his mouth suddenly opened to fit an egg.
Seeing Feng Wu who was still standing beside the big black tiger, Meng Yu stepped forward and patted his shoulder and said, "If you don't take a look again, the little white ape may die, hearing Meng Yu's words, Feng Wu threw a grateful look at Meng Yu, turned around and ran towards the injured little white ape." Dugu Yu in the distance saw Feng Wu running towards the little white ape, came to Meng Yu's side, and observed Meng Yu with a look of admiration.
After finding Dugu Yu looking at him, Meng Yu patted Dugu Yu's head angrily, and said Don't hurry up and clean up this black guy, this is a good thing, if you use it well, you and Feng Wu will be blessed. If the tiger bones were mixed with some herbs to make tiger bone wine, the time it would take for you and Feng Wu to cultivate to my current martial arts cultivation would also be much shorter. Hearing Meng Yu say that tiger bones can increase his martial arts cultivation, Dugu Yu's eyes suddenly became hot, picked up the sword that Feng Wu put next to him, and began to clean up the corpse of the big black tiger. Seeing Dugu Yu's jerky action of cleaning up the corpse of the big black tiger, Meng Yu dared to let Dugu Yu clean up the corpse of the big black tiger alone, so he went over to guide Dugu Yu on the side, for fear that Dugu Yu would spoil the good body refining materials.
Meng Yu and Dugu Yu finished cleaning up the corpse of the big black tiger, and Feng Wu also used the herbs collected in the mountains to treat the wounds of the little white ape. Seeing that the sky had already begun to turn dark, Meng Yu knew that he was going to spend the night here tonight. Let Dugu Yu find some dry branches around to make a fire, and Feng Wu began to barbecue the meat of the black tiger. The meat is roasted, Duguyu picks it up and eats it, but takes a bite. Dugu Yu's face turned green all of a sudden, and then he vomited vigorously. Meng Yu didn't believe it and took a bite, and found that the tiger meat tasted really bad, sour and astringent.
Tiger meat can't be eaten, Meng Yu told Dugu Yu and Feng Wu to rest in peace, and he would keep vigil so that they didn't have to worry about the beast attack. When Dugu Yu heard Meng Yu's words, he happily went to rest, Meng Yu's ability has passed his time, and he is a hundred relieved to have Meng Yu's vigil. But Feng Wu didn't want to rest anymore, so she insisted on keeping vigil with Meng Yu. said that she was a slave, and her duty was to take care of her master, and if the master did not rest, she would not rest at ease. Through getting along these days, Meng Yu also knew that Feng Wu was very persistent in some things, and it was not something he could change, so he didn't force it too much.
The vigil was very tiring. Looking at Feng Wu, who was already tired and napping beside her, Meng Yu really wanted to persuade her to rest. But he didn't dare to persuade him, because he persuaded Feng Wu to rest a few times before, and Feng Wu cried every time. She was really afraid that Feng Wu would cry again this time. Looking at the thin body of Feng Wu napping in the long dark night, Meng Yu couldn't help but think of the helpless duckweed in the water. Gently stood up and took off the shirt on his body, walked to Feng Wu's side, and gently draped his clothes on Feng Wu's body. Meng Yu thought that his actions should not have woken up Feng Wu who was napping, but what he didn't notice was that the moment his clothes covered Feng Wu's body, a pair of bright eyes flowed crystal tears.
