The torch does not shine very far among the piles of rocks, and the dead branches covered with snow are also quite obstructive. This depression with complex terrain has not been visited since winter, and it is even more difficult to distinguish it now that it is covered with thick snow. I groped in the dark, relying on my memory and eyesight, I took every step carefully.
At this moment, the crying sound floating in the wind added a bit of intrusion.
The only thing that can comfort me, who is groping alone, are the few wolf corpses that I occasionally see along the way. Moving in one direction, I think she should also be attracted by the same movement, or maybe it's not necessarily just ahead.
This guess inspired me, and I moved a little faster.
But after a short distance, a fork in the road unexpectedly appeared in front of him, saying that there is no road in fact, but a remnant wall that divides the direction of progress into two ends. It was hard to tell the direction of the crying sound from left to right. I frowned and recalled bitterly. I vaguely remembered that I came here when I was picking fruit in late autumn. This fork road should lead to a bare cliff on the left, and turn right After two detours, you can reach the bottom of a mountain wall. After thinking about it, you still decide to go to the right.
After a while, I came to the mountain wall. I didn¡¯t see a wolf carcass after reaching the fork. Fortunately, I didn¡¯t encounter a wild wolf, but the crying became clearer and clearer, which proved that the choice was correct. I felt a little relieved and followed the sound. After going, after a while, I found a stone cave under the mountain wall.
This stone cave is deep, but it is not as elegant as Huanglong Cave. There are bursts of beast-specific stench coming from inside. I looked around at the entrance of the cave, afraid that there might be something that I can't afford to provoke, so I was very hesitant.
But the crying clearly came from inside.
?Looking at the torch in his hand, the fire is burning brightly. It seems that this road has been trekking for a long time. In fact, it only took about ten minutes at most. He has already found this step and there is no reason to turn back now. Thinking about it again, since there are children crying inside, the terrible thing should at least not be there now, unless
Holding a dagger and holding a torch, meditating on materialism and not believing in ghosts and ghosts, I tiptoed into the cave.
The inside of the cave is lower than expected. If an adult comes in, I¡¯m afraid you have to keep an eye on the top of your head. The most disgusting thing is that the stench is worse than outside the cave. You have to pinch your nose with your sword hand. The only thing to be thankful is It is because the cave is not very deep, and after a short walk, we reached the bottom.
Then, the light of the fire passed, and I saw a scene that I will never forget in my life.
The bottom of the cave is full of messy dry grass and scattered animal bones, which is nothing. The strange thing is that there is a huge white wolf lying in the dry grass. Although the angry eyes are wide open, the majesty is still there, but the eyes are dull, apparently dead. After a long time, there were two wolf cubs lying on its side beside it, howling and mourning endlessly.
But beside the wolf cub, the third existence who is equally sad is obviously not a wolf cub.
The one who bent over and cried was clearly a naked human child!
The situation was weird, and I was wondering, but the fire in my hand had startled them. The two cubs reacted first, stood up towards me, stopped whining, and replaced it with a low howl full of threats and resentment. The boy also raised his head, with tears still on his face, but his expression and movements were no different from that of the wolf cub, with a fierce look in his eyes.
They are gradually gathering here. If there are two adult wolves surrounding me at this moment, I will definitely be in a hurry, but these two young wolves look more like puppies born three or four months old. They are more cute than threatening, so I don¡¯t feel like Not very afraid, but used them to get closer and looked at the child more carefully.
When I got closer, I realized that the child was about three or four years old. Although the long hair covered his face and was very dirty, his body was not damaged. On the contrary, his limbs were strong and his movements were quick, his knees and hands were on the ground, and he moved from one place to another. At the place, there was a wolf cub waiting for an opportunity. My eyes rose and fell, and finally I saw that it was a girl.
Unexpectedly, I thought of the folk legends I had heard.
Probably because I was distracted, at this moment, two wolf cubs suddenly launched an attack!
They also understood each other tacitly, and they both turned to the blind spot that my eyes couldn't see, and then let out a low whistle, one left and one right jumped up at the same time! The speed is so fast and the momentum is fierce, it is quite like a wolf.
It's a pity that I was thinking about things in my heart, but I was always paying attention to their movements from the corner of my eye. I heard a whistling sound, and immediately made a wrong step. I have studied hard and practiced hard for more than a year. Although my internal strength has progressed slowly, my strength and speed have made great progress , the reaction was much quicker - so although the wolf cub is coming aggressively at this moment, it is not too fast in my eyes, only slightly sideways, easily avoiding the first attack, and taking advantage of the situation to make up for it , raised the dagger at the same time, and met the second one that pounced almost at the same time, swinging.: "Take her, let's go back and talk about it."
I hummed, thinking of the snowstorm outside the cave, I took off my coat and wrapped the little person on my lap, and then stood up with her in my arms: "Master, you have so many things in your hands, let this child be brought by your disciples." "The person who was so nimble and fierce before, calmed down and hugged her now, it was much lighter than expected, I really don't know where she got the strength just now.
Unexpectedly, this sentence made the corners of Master's lips curl up slightly.
"With your overthinking and worrying temper, why don't you wait for yourself to go back slowly?" She smiled lightly, and handed the long sword to the hand holding the torch, and then I felt light on my body, and I fell into a familiar embrace. middle.
Just like that, the master hugged me, and I hugged the child again, and hurried back all the way. At this moment, it was already freezing cold outside, and the master was walking very fast. I could feel the cold wind cutting my face even when I was hiding in her robe. I felt cold, so I couldn't help tightening the skirt of the child in my arms.
She moved, but did not wake up.
Looking at her carefully under the slight moonlight, I feel more and more that the proportion of the facial features under the unkempt and dirty face is actually very delicate. Thinking about the scene where Master was thinking in the cave before, I have a faint premonition in my heart.
It seems that this peaceful time in the mountains is about to change.
