Hunting Heart Little Mengxian: Rebirth and Raising a Wolf

Chapter 33
Very good, very good!
Wu Yu, the fifth senior brother, did not recognize Jiu Xiaohan, who disguised herself as a man in front of her and successfully changed her face into a layman's little monk.

Moreover, as long as she doesn't use her eyes excessively, as long as she doesn't try her best to see things that are particularly far away and detailed, her abnormal blue pupils can restore the same color as ordinary people.

At this time, to Wu Yu, she was just an ordinary person who couldn't be more ordinary.

Standing respectfully and politely all the time at a distance of five or six steps away, Jiu Xiaohan nodded slightly to him, continued to pretend to be a little cold, coughed twice, and then said:

"Well, cough...cough! I don't know the strong man, do you need help?"

Jiu Xiaohan specifically pointed at the corpse of the third senior brother Wusi who was held tightly in the other party's arms and never let go.

However, Wu Yu didn't even think about it, he waved his hand towards her, his voice was low and distressed:
"Thank you! It's okay, it's okay!"

Afterwards, he paused for a moment, lowered his head, and looked at the scarred and dried-up face of "Third Brother" with regret in his eyes:
"...Stay a little longer, I can do it myself!"

▽▽▽▽
Of course Jiu Xiaohan knew it. Ever since she had a little memory when she was a child, she always saw:

The chubby fifth senior brother chased the skinny third senior brother around from time to time.

However, the thin and small third senior brother often clings to Wu Zheng, who is strong and indomitable in their eyes, and will pester the senior brother to chat about this and that, and practice martial arts together. Brothers separate.

At that time, Jiu Xiaohan was still too young, and she didn't have much intersection and common topics with the three of them. Moreover, she was a girl doll who was ten years younger than them, and she seldom played with them.

Later, not long after, on the day when the senior brother became weak and crowned, it was the first time he went down the mountain to perform the mission, the third senior brother couldn't bear him, and cried all day and all night.

Not only that, he also knelt for four hours outside the door of Master Wuweizi's quiet room, begging Master to make an exception and let himself go with the elder brother.

However, everyone can predict the consequences, and with the character of inaction, the established rules have not been changed.

Therefore, the third senior brother waited for another two years in the pure heart concept, before he got to the day when he would wear the "Bounty Hunter" badge on his waist.

In the two years without the company of the senior brother, many senior brothers could see how hard Wu Si really worked!

His aptitude was very mediocre, and his inner strength was not the strongest, but in those two years, he almost won the first place in all internal selections in Qingxinguan.

There was only one test, and he got No.2.That is, in the essay test paper, there is a question about "how the mission management and the lives of the brothers and sisters of the same school are related".

Wusi's answer did not follow the previous rules and regulations, choosing to sacrifice the lives of his fellow disciples when necessary to ensure the smooth completion of the mission goal.

Of course, his explanation did not disappoint Master.

Wu Si thinks:
The brotherhood of the same family is as thick as blood, as deep as the sea, as strong as wine, as high as a mountain;

If he could use his own life, one life for another, to save his brother and complete the task, he would choose this way.

Master Wuweizi often said: "Knowledge and action are one."

——Wusi did it, he thought that way, and now, he is also doing that...

However, presumably, more or less, Wu Yu, the fifth senior brother, must still be arguing about "third brother" at this moment.

But, in fact, Jiu Xiaohan doesn't have a particularly deep impression of the big brother Wu Zheng, she just remembers:
Every time, after the big brother finishes his mission, he will always bring back some special trophies, souvenirs, souvenirs and other good things.

There are things to eat, drink, things to play with, things to display, things to use, things to hang... All kinds of things, all of which are not kept privately, and all of them are given to the juniors.

From other people's point of view, it seems that the senior brother's attitude and friendship with everyone are fair and equal, and he never favors one person over another.

No one can tell whether the senior brother's affection for the third senior brother is deeper than that for others, and whether he is also "special" like the third senior brother treats him.

After all, this unrevealable and unspeakable "meaning", if it is whoever pierces the window paper first, as long as he dares to take a small step forward, it will always be a kind of love between heaven, earth and human world. In the end, the unbearable "taboo" can only be exchanged for a tragic end that even brothers and classmates can no longer do.

The third senior brother can cultivate his skills to a level comparable to that of the senior senior brother, so he must not be inferior to the other party in terms of mental skills.

Behind the scenes, when Master Wuweizi is not around, the two people who are in harmony with each other are often dubbed by other disciples as "Bo Ya and Ziqi in the concept of pure heart".

But, on the other hand, the opposite of them is:
Different from the third senior brother's "deep love" and "sacrifice oneself to save the brother", Wuyu, the fifth senior brother with a broad heart and a fat body, never sticks to such "obsessions" until he insists on "I will die and you live", "This life is not good". Yu" degree.

On the surface, the fifth senior brother naturally "understands thinking" more transparently, broad-mindedly, and much more relieved than the third senior brother.

Wuyu's point of view is as follows:

If so, if you want to protect the person you think is the most important, you have to protect yourself first.

Therefore, from this point of view, he is also a person who knows "the unity of knowledge and action".

——It's just that the "important person" he wants to protect the most in his life has chosen a completely different way of protection from him.

▽▽▽▽
However, when it really came to this final farewell and had to separate, Wu Yu was still very, very reluctant.

Just looking at his arms that hugged the body of the third senior brother tightly and couldn't let go for a long time, it is enough to see that in the face of the world of life and death that is eternally separated from heaven and man, no matter how transparent and generous people are on weekdays, there are also people who "can't ask for it." ", "Can't let go".

He wanted to show a slight smile to the "young man" who claimed to be "Qiu Bunuan" in front of him.

Maybe it's because, at this time, the weather in the winter night in the mountains is really too cold.

Wu Yu suddenly found that the tears on his face that had dried up a long time ago seemed to be covered with a layer of ice beads by the cold wind and became a little stiff.

Of course, with his current state of mind, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't laugh at all.

Therefore, Wu Yu had to try his best to remind the "boy" on the opposite side in the most pleasant tone, saying:
"I can't see Mr. Nuan, my body is a little thin. There has just been a heavy snowstorm in this mountain, and the weather is cold; however, there are often man-eating beasts around. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, and it is not suitable to stay overnight!"

"Oh! Thank you, Brother Strong, for your kind reminder!"

After listening to the "boy"'s words of gratitude, the "boy" did not see any action.

"Young Master Bunuan, you are probably going the wrong way. Yi'an County should go north, pass through the bamboo forest where we came out, and go another [-] miles, and you will arrive. You should find your way as soon as possible and leave here as soon as possible. Well done!"

Wu Xiaohan's words made Jiu Xiaohan slightly taken aback.

Ngee Ann County, should we go north?

At this time, Jiu Xiaohan didn't even bother to look back, so he went behind the towering ancient tree and asked Liang Ziyu for clarification.

After all, at this moment, she had no intention of turning around and walking away at all.

As soon as she saw it, she moved another step and a half in front of Fifth Senior Brother, and then bent down, squatting with one foot forward and one foot behind.

Expressing his sincerity so closely, Jiu Xiaohan looked at the long-dead body of flesh and blood lying on the snow, but he was still held tightly in his arms by the fifth senior brother, and it was hard to let go.

Then, she persuaded softly:

"This strong man brother, since you and I can meet this person, it should be a special kind of fate to meet you. I saw that your body is not lightly injured. How about, let me help you take care of your dead brother In the aftermath, I will recite a piece of eulogy for him that I just learned from the Qingxin Temple not long ago, and help him gain enlightenment, escape from the sea of ​​suffering, and fly into the sky with you, okay?"

Doctors are benevolent; if you want to heal people, first heal the heart and then the body, which can often achieve unexpected and excellent results.

After all, in this world, whether it is a man or a woman, adult or young, when their relatives or old friends pass away, it is the time when their hearts are most vulnerable and most need comfort and help from others.

Regardless of whether Wu Yu would like to admit it or not, the unexpected appearance of this "Chou Bu Nuan" passer-by did relieve him a lot of the loneliness and heartache of "Farewell to the Lonely Brother".

Therefore, he did not respond verbally, nor did he reject the kindness of the other party.

Wu Yu thought that the other party might want to ask him to help lead the way after helping him...

Thinking of this, at this moment, look again, the third senior brother in front of him, who was covered in scars, is already like a frozen and stiff "blood man".

When his blood-stained fingers touched Third Senior Brother's no longer warm cheek again, Wu Yu's arms trembled again and again.

However, he is trying hard to let go and "say goodbye" to the person he values ​​most in this life—no, it should be said that it's time to "say goodbye"!
Finally, Jiu Xiaohan watched with sad eyes that fifth senior brother's trembling hands had already started to slowly straighten third senior brother's messy sideburns and the skirt in front of him...

Immediately afterwards, he seemed to be talking softly to himself, but it also seemed to be confiding his reluctant nagging and exhortations to an elder brother who was about to go out:

"In the past, you often disliked my slovenliness and unkempt appearance, and always tied my hair and straightened my collar... Today, I finally have the opportunity to do this for you."

"In the past, I always said that you are the most gallant and heroic when you wear military uniform and armor! You are more handsome than your elder brother, but you never let me say that!"

"Hey... the three of us... I have been chasing you since I was a child, and it has been more than thirty years now! Now, it can finally come to an end!"

"You were almost rested just now. It's time to get up and move around! Let's go, I'll see you off..."

Before the words fell, Wu Yu endured the pain on his body, and gradually stood up from the snow with support, planning to try to move the body of the third senior brother Wu Si by himself.

Perhaps it was because the third brother's body had been lying in the snow for too long, and his flesh and blood were completely frozen;

Also, perhaps because of Wuyu's own injuries, he couldn't move easily with only his physical strength alone.

Seeing the situation at this moment, Jiu Xiaohan hurried forward to help without saying a word, still plausible in his mouth, Mao then recommended himself and said:

"Let me help you! I can change my face, and I also know some funeral and embalming techniques. You must also hope that your brother, who has been heroic all his life, can also do it in the next journey. It's a decent walk, isn't it?!"

Hearing this, Wu Yu's heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and he was also full of infinite gratitude to the peasant boy in front of him, with a hint of surprise on his face, he responded:

"The art of changing face and grooming? Well, it's really great! Thanks to having you here! Then, thank you! Thank you, Mr. Huan!"

So, while talking, he exerted all his strength again, together with Jiu Xiaohan, one head and one foot, the two of them lifted the upright third senior brother back and forth, and moved straight to the root of the tree behind them.

The slender and soft hands tightly grasped the two ankles of Third Senior Brother Wu Si - that was, so heavy and so cold.

This is not the first time that Jiu Xiaohan has come into contact with the dead body of a fellow disciple and arranged funeral ceremonies for him, but it is the first time in her life that she has witnessed the death of an elder brother in a place other than Qingxin Temple.

She and the fifth senior brother stood one on the left and the other on the right, and sat the third senior brother's body against the thick tree trunk, putting them in a proper posture.

Then, she unloaded the small calico blue check bag behind her, and took out a small roll of cowhide storage bag from it. After unfolding, there were all kinds of knives, scissors, needles, and threads in it. .

Healing the living is naturally easy to use; changing the face of the dead is also extremely useful.

Of course, from time to time, she will also use these small tools to dissect those monsters and monsters that have lost their souls after being subdued by the master and brothers.

Now, she needs to clean up the cracks and wounds on the third brother's face, hands, arms, etc., and then use the needles and threads specially used to sew the corpse, stitch him up one by one according to his original appearance, and then stitch it together on the surface of the skin. Apply a layer of setting powder that is neither thin nor thick, and try to ensure that it is just in a natural state.

While busy with his hands, Jiu Xiaohan did not forget to start a heart-to-heart chat with Senior Brother Fifth who was digging a hole beside him:
"If you say thank you, it should be that I want to thank Brother Zhuangshi!"

"Young Master Bu Nuan, what do you mean by that?"

"To tell you the truth, I have dreamed of becoming a soldier and serving the country and the people since I was a child!"

"Oh?"

Jiu Xiaohan's innocent, simple and sincere natural demeanor, even if she tells a lie, is just like the real thing she experienced:
"In our Sanshi Village, most men of my age have already been conscripted, scolded Fang Qiu, spilled blood on the battlefield, and served the country with loyalty. It's been more than three or four years. But look at me. Hey... I have been weak since I was a child. If I really want to be a soldier, in the words of my next-door neighbor Yan Shiqi, then I will die by myself. Especially in this icy and snowy climate, I'm afraid, before I have time to serve the country faithfully, I have to give an account of myself in the camp..."

Hearing what the other party said, Wu Yu, who was digging a hole, paused for a moment, turned his head subconsciously, and took a second look at the "unwarmed son" who was changing his face for his "third brother" behind him, and he seemed to agree with him nod:
"Hmm! Your words are rough and unreasonable. It can be seen that your neighbor boy is an honest and sensible young man. What he said is very true. You are really, really, too old-fashioned. Worse, very unsuitable for martial arts!"
