Chapter 32: A whirlwind drives out the wolves
Xinghua was suddenly frightened awake, shivered, opened her eyes, and saw that it was pitch black all around, and she felt that she had been swallowed by the boundless darkness.
The moon in the sky at night, I don't know when the road has fallen, there are a few moving green lights not far in front, approaching her step by step, apricot blossoms have lived on the grassland since childhood, and the green light of the road is the eyes of the wolves.
Xinghua was frightened, her heart tightened, and she didn't dare to come out, for fear that those wild wolves with a keen sense of smell would smell her and attack her together, but her life would be over!
Here and now, she spent the night on the grassland alone for the first time, and only then did she really feel what it was like to be lonely, helpless, cold and sad. However, these are not terrible, what is terrible is that the wolves with green light are pressing towards her step by step......
Xinghua Zhidao can't run when she encounters a pack of wolves, otherwise people can't outrun the wolves anyway, she knows that she hides herself and doesn't let the wolves find and smell the smell, which is the best way to deal with the wolves.
With all her courage, she pulled the thatch on her body again with her hands, covered her a little tighter, then closed her eyes, held her breath, and secretly prayed in her heart: wolf, wolf, steppe wolf...... We have no grievances in the past and no hatred today, don't hurt me, don't hurt me, I was driven by the people of the Liu Mansion to go to the road pitiful, so don't bury yourself in your wolf's mouth again......
"Dada...... Tata Tata ...... "The sound of the wolves walking is getting closer and closer!" After a few moments, Xinghua felt the wolves come to her, and she closed her eyes tightly, praying to the heavens once more in her heart. Pray to the earth: God, O grandmother of the land, be merciful, be merciful. Don't let the wolves hurt me, don't let the wolves hurt me......
......Suddenly, a whirlwind blew around Xinghua, the wind was not very strong, but it was very powerful, and it instantly rolled up the dust and blew towards the wolves. Blowing the wolves' twinkling green eyes, forcing the wolves to turn around and quickly follow the direction of the wind.
After a while. Xinghua felt that the sound of the wolf howling nearby was gradually becoming smaller, so she slowly opened her eyes and looked into the distance, and the white of the fish belly had appeared in the east. It's about to dawn.
She slowly stood up holding on to the big tree. I felt soreness in my legs and the pain was unbearable. She thought to herself, since the wolves were all open to themselves, it was God who let her life not be killed, so she gritted her teeth, opened her legs, and walked forward resolutely.
At this time, the dawn is faint. Xinghua trudged alone on the grassland, and her hair was already messy. Pale face, to use the strength to eat milk to climb a big sandbag, suddenly found a few wisps of smoke coming out from under the sandbag, she was surprised in her heart, walked to the top of the sandbag, only to see that not far from the sandbag is a small tunzi!
Xinghua was pleasantly surprised, hurriedly got off the sandbag, stumbled towards Xiaotunzi, and saw that she was about to reach the side of Tunzi, but her eyes suddenly turned black and she fell on the path.
When Xinghua woke up, she found that she was lying on a warm small kang, and the heat under her body felt very comfortable. She opened her eyes and saw an amiable face smiling at her. Then I heard a concerned voice saying, "Child, are you better?"
Xinghua nodded, only to see an old lady sitting next to her in her sixties, her voice was so kind and warm, it almost melted Xinghua's heart.
Xinghua Zhilu said that the old lady in front of her must be a good person, and her two beautiful big eyes overflowed with tears of gratitude. She got up and sat up and said, "Auntie, you saved me, how can I repay you?"
"It wasn't me who saved you, it was my son Dahu, who carried you back when he returned from hunting in the mountains. Hey, the lives of our poor people are miserable, what do you want to repay the poor?" said the old lady.
Xinghua was shocked, she was not only surprised that a strange man had carried her on her back and passed her body, but also surprised that his son's name was actually Dahu, so she asked, "Your son's name is Dahu?"
The old lady asked strangely, "Yes, girl, do you know my son Dahu?"
Xinghua shook her head, thinking that things in this world are really strange, it turns out that the person who saved her life is called Dahu, and her brother-in-law is called Erhu, and they are all grassland hunters, it seems that she has met a good person.
The old lady said again: "I sent my son into the mountains to collect medicine, and he will come back in a while." Son, who are you and how did you get here?"
"I ......" Xinghua didn't wait for words to speak, tears flowed out, and she choked up and couldn't continue.
The old lady saw that she was sad about Xinghua, so she stopped asking questions and talked about other gossip.
"Our place is a small tun in the depths of the grassland and not close to the neighbors, called Kuaihuotun. But these days, the people of Tunzi are not living happily. The people of Tunzi call me Dahu Niang, the man of my family is surnamed Zhao, and he is no longer in the world, so I and my son depend on each other. Not to mention the many scourges of wild wolves on this grassland, what is even more terrifying are the red-bearded bandits, who often come to Tunzi to cause trouble and harm the common people. Hey, these days, you are a girl's house, how dangerous it is to trespass on the grassland!"
As soon as he heard that there were bandits here, Xinghua's heart was suddenly shocked, he knew that his father-in-law was killed by bandits, and Erhu often touched to find bandits for revenge, but he didn't know which bandit here was, so he asked: "What, bandits in this area?"
The big tiger lady chattered and said: "Yes, it's not been a peaceful year." A few days ago, a group of people came, and they heard that it was a 'mountain bag', and asked the people in the tunzi to prepare some food for them, saying that they were coming in the next few days. In this era, who has surplus food for them? The little grain that their own family has laid is enough to eat and not starve, even if they burn high incense. ”
Xinghua once heard people say in Xiaogushan that there are good and bad bandits, the good ones are called "righteous bandits" who specialize in robbing big households to save the poor, and the bad ones are commonly known as "beards" or "red beards", which are specifically to harm the common people.
As she spoke, the big tiger lady brought food from the stove and said, "Child, eat a mouthful of food, you have strength after eating." The big tiger will come back after a while, maybe he can still catch some game, he is a famous hunter in our tunzi. ”
"Huh?" Xinghua's heart was shocked again, he knew that the serious hunters on the grassland were good people, so he ate with confidence.
Dahu Fengniang asked again: "Child, can you tell the eldest lady how you came here? ”
Xinghua said: "I am a ...... from Xiaogushan, Fangcao Town, Shaling County," she then told Da Hu Niang what happened that night.
The big tiger lady interjected and scolded Liu Fu from time to time, and the more the two of them chatted, the closer they became......
In the afternoon, I suddenly heard a shout from outside the courtyard: "Mother, I'm back!" With the loud and slightly hoarse shout, a young and sturdy young man walked in and threw the two mountain rabbits on his body to the ground with a "bang......
"Huh?" Xinghua looked up, surprised, and saw that the person looked almost exactly like his brother-in-law Zheng Erhu, what was going on......?
