Chapter 225 The Truth
Needless to say, Zi Yan must have taught her the concept of a friend. The combination of the wolf boy's broken prairie language and her serious expression showed her frankness and sincerity even more.

She is serious, anyone can see that.

Wolf Boy is a blank slate in this regard. It’s not surprising that she behaves like this. She may not really have any intention of making friends with Crow and Leopard Gan. It is most likely out of her love for Wu and Wu. To put it bluntly, it is purely because she thinks Zi Yan very much. That's all.

Zi Yan sacrificed to the volcano more than a month ago. If the two had met for the first time at that time, it is impossible to cultivate such a deep friendship in such a short period of time.The wolf boy and Zi Yan should have known each other very early.

Thinking of Aba's experience, Zhang Tian suddenly thought, could the pothole that Aba saw back then be left by the little wolf boy when he went to play with little Ziyan?
One is a human child raised by a pack of wolves, and the other is a high priest who was enshrined in an altar and bound by responsibilities all his life. To a certain extent, both of them can be regarded as aliens in the group...

Abba strode forward and asked eagerly, "Do you remember me?"

He has been looking at her for a long time, the past is as clear as yesterday, the wolf child is no longer the childish child in his memory, but her eyebrows and eyes still have some of the original appearance.

No need to think, the moment he saw her, Abba's intuition told him that she was the person he was looking for!He'd always thought she was a boy, and of course she looked a lot like a man now.

The wolf boy didn't say anything, just looked at him warily.

Aba didn't know whether she had forgotten herself or didn't understand what she said, so she cast a look of help at the sky priest.

Zhang Tian said in forest language: "Have you been to the grassland before? Use the power of this stone. You once brought a grassland man to this forest, do you remember?"

Although Aba didn't understand, he could guess what the sky priest was saying with his toes, and echoed, "It's me! Aba!"

The wolf boy remained silent.

Aba was a little apprehensive, afraid that the wolf boy would tell him that what happened that night was just his wishful thinking.

He was supposed to be an ordinary person, and he should have lived his ordinary life like other people in the tribe. It was that adventure full of fantasy that made him have a story worth remembering and made him Even after his death, his name has a chance to be passed on, his descendants will remember him, and every prairie person will remember him.

He was old, and for an old man half buried in the barren sand, there was nothing more important than this.

But to the wolf boy, it was just an ordinary night, and she had already put this trivial matter behind her.

After a long while, Abba finally saw a change in her expression, revealing a little bewildered look.

"It's you!"

The wolf boy remembered.She looked at him carefully, and it was difficult to connect the thin and stooped old man in front of her with the tall and tall young man.

Aba was so excited that he hopped his feet, his mouth was sloppy, and he said incoherently: "Is what happened that night true? I actually walked from the ground to the end of the grassland! The giant that night was this big monkey, I don't know." Which one do I see? And the glowing stone..."

Zhang Tian only translated the first sentence.

"It's true." The wolf boy replied seriously in grassland language.

Aba was so happy that he wanted to rush up and hug her, but fortunately he held back, otherwise the big wolf following the wolf boy would definitely rush up and tear him apart.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said seriously: "Without you, I would definitely die in that strange cave. You saved me, so I should thank you and repay your kindness. But I was too scared at that time It's really embarrassing to the grassland people, now, I want to make up for my timidity."

Thinking of himself who escaped that night, Aba couldn't help but look ashamed, and then solemnly thanked the wolf boy.

The wolf boy was a little surprised. She didn't take what happened that day to her heart. She didn't remember how cowardly Aba was. In the wolf's cognition, repaying a favor is a very serious concept, which means being loyal to another wolf for the rest of his life. , obey its errand.

She didn't think it was worth it for him.

She didn't even think she should accept the thank you. Zi Yan said that only when she got help from other people did she need to say thank you.

The real situation that day was actually different from what Aba thought.

Just as Zhang Tian guessed, the pothole was originally left by her.

Ever since she picked up the yellow stone and discovered the power contained in it, she often used the art of escape from the earth to explore everywhere with her wolf companions. At first, she just wandered around in the forest. It was also during that period that she made friends with the giant giant who lived in seclusion in the bamboo forest. Apes and giant pandas.

Later, after having fun in the forest, she headed further afield.

Meeting Zi Yan may be a coincidence, or it may be destiny.

The first time she saw Zi Yan, she felt that the seemingly carefree girl surrounded by everyone was actually unhappy.

The wolf child can't tell what it feels like, but she understands that her wolf mother and wolf brothers and brothers treat her very well, but she is not a wolf after all, and the wolves never think she is a real wolf. To this day, the wolves of the forest still say of her: Aw, that human child.

It had been painful for her to realize this for a long time. Did she not know who she was, a human being?She doesn't consider herself human.She has seen many Twolegs, those greedy, unruly, and intemperate bad guys. She would rather be a fake wolf than a hypocritical person!
Zi Yan was an exception, just a glance from a distance gave her an unprecedented intimacy.

The people on the mountain never dreamed that they sent people to guard against them, and they were on duty around the clock. The high priest's boudoir, which didn't even let a mosquito in, was surrounded by a savage, as if he was going back to his own home.

The wolf boy appeared from the ground and then left the ground without anyone noticing.

At first, they just met secretly in the house. Later, as the two became familiar with each other and became bolder, Zi Yan sneaked out with her and played all over the mountains and fields, and of course left underground.

Abba didn't know that when he climbed down the cave wall, the high priest held in the palm of the mountain was hiding at the bottom of the cave, playing and messing with a savage of unknown origin.

Zi Yan was terrified.At that time, she was still a little girl. Not long after she took over as the high priest, the affairs of the tribe were taken care of by the old priest Qing Yan, who was also her teacher, a very strict teacher.

As a high priest with a single lineage, her safety is more important than anything else. It is absolutely not allowed to sneak out to play, let alone with a savage of unknown origin.

Thinking of the punishment she would face after the incident was exposed, and thinking of Qing Yan's serious and rigid face, Zi Yan trembled with fright.

Aba said that when he was about to climb to the bottom, the rock wall suddenly shook violently, which was actually caused by the wolf boy.

After Aba was knocked unconscious by the falling rocks, the wolf boy sent Zi Yan back, because that place was not far from the tribe on the mountain. In order not to make people suspicious, she restored the pothole and removed the obstruction. The guy was taken to the far end of the grassland.

In other words, the wolf boy not only failed to save him, but was the culprit of that incident.

Abba didn't know, and when he saw that the wolf boy hadn't expressed his opinion, he thought it was because he was not sincere enough, so he thanked him again and again.

Zhang Tian knew the power of Huangshi, and combined with Aba's description of that experience, he had already guessed a lot in his heart.

"You should accept it." Zhang Tian said to the wolf boy, "He came here for this reason. He has remembered this matter for a long time, and it is the thing he regrets most in his life. Your approval is very important to him."

The wolf boy didn't quite understand this feeling, nor did he understand why her approval was very important to another person, but the old man's sincerity moved her inexplicably.

She thought about it and decided to follow the rules of the ape, so she stroked the old man's thinning hair and said, "I accept."

It's not the kind of acceptance that makes you accept the younger brother!

Zhang Tian couldn't laugh or cry.

Although it was strange to be killed by a young woman touching her head, it did not prevent Abba from letting out a sigh of relief.He was finally relieved.

"Roar……"

A deep roar interrupted everyone's conversation.

The other giant ape also sat down against the tree trunk and groaned in pain.

The hunters' spears and harpoons left many wounds on its body, and these wounds were equally fatal if left untreated.

A group of gray shadows jumped down from among the leaves and landed on Zhang Tian's shoulder, and the subsequent impact made him stumble.

"Dead monkey!"

Hutou yelled, raised his casserole-like fist and hit the monkey!

"Woo! Woo!"

Wuwu screamed in fright, and flipped to the other side lightly while holding Zhang Tian's neck.

Zhang Tian stopped him and said, "Let it go. This monkey is not a threat."

Seeing Hutou put his hands back, Wuwu got excited instead, sticking out his head and grinning at him.

Zhang Tian slapped it on the head and ordered it to be honest in monkey language.

Wuwu stopped provoking Tiger Tou, and instead asked Zhang Tian for help, begging him to do what he did to its butt a few days ago to the King of Monkeys again.

Wuwu didn't understand what healing was, but he knew that after doing what he did, his butt healed quickly. He hoped that the king of monkeys could also recover. In fact, he came on behalf of the monkeys, the monkeys. They all hope that their king can revive and lead them to unify the forest.

The wolf boy who knew monkey language naturally understood it, and asked in forest language: "Can you heal its injury?"

Zhang Tian said truthfully: "I can't do it, maybe my clan can."

Before the wolf boy could be happy, Zhang Tian poured cold water on him: "But my people are afraid of you. You killed too many people last night. They are afraid that the same thing will happen to them."

"Never! You are not from the Riverside!"

"I believe in you. But it's useless for me to believe in you. You have to make my people believe in you."

"what should I do?"

Zhang Tianzheng said: "If you want others to believe in you, you should first show your trust in others. Do you believe in me?"

The wolf boy gave an affirmative answer.

"Okay, then I will take you to meet my clansmen, only you and Zi Yan, your wolf companions should stay away from our camp. My clansmen are humans, and people are born afraid of wolves, so keep your wolf companions at a distance, you Going alone is the best way to show trust. I assure you, no harm will come to you."

The wolf boy hesitated for a moment, and asked: "If I do what you say, will your people make my companions heal? I mean, all my injured companions."

The wolf child also doesn't know what healing is, but she has seen the abilities of this group of uninvited guests. They can even control flames, and perhaps they can really do some incredible things.

In this night attack, not only the giant apes were killed or injured, but the giant pandas, wolves, and monkeys all suffered injuries to varying degrees. Even if these injuries were not immediately fatal, they would greatly weaken their hunting and survivability, and even mean chronic damage. die.

If his people had the ability to heal her companions, no matter how much risk she took, she would be willing to go there!

Zhang Tian didn't agree or refuse, but said: "It depends on you, it depends on how you behave, whether you can win the trust of my people."

……

After a series of barks, the wolves patrolling outside the camp scattered away, gradually fading out of everyone's sight.

Is this...a retreat?

The hunters did not dare to take it lightly. Suddenly they saw a group of familiar figures approaching from a distance, and they said happily: "The priests are back!"

"The wolf boy must have been afraid of the priest, so the wolves ran away with their tails between their legs!"

"Huh? Why are there two foreigners?"

"Could it be the wolf boy and the high priest of the mountain tribe?"

There was a commotion in the crowd, and they all stretched their necks to look curiously, wanting to see what the legendary wolf boy looked like.

After looking at it, I can't help but feel a little disappointed.

"It looks similar to us..."

When they got closer, the person who said this immediately retracted his words.

One of these two women seemed to be born from ashes, and the scars all over her body were shocking, which added a bit of terror to her; Expose her essence.This woman is extremely dangerous, the hunters have such thoughts.

But this dangerous woman came alone, and she even dismissed the wolves, apparently without hostility.

Not only is the wolf child not hostile, on the contrary, she is more nervous than the onlookers eating melons. The reason why she looks fierce is because she is very disturbed. Intimidating and threatening each other when disturbed is a common self-defense method used by beasts.

This is not the first time she has been in contact with the same kind, besides Ziyan, she has also been in contact with Rock Castle people.

Ziyan made her change her view of human beings, and the people of Rockcastle successfully reversed her change completely, returning to her stereotyped image of human beings again, and even hated the people on the riverside.

What are these people like?

She looked around vigilantly, watching every face.

The young man who called himself Tian had no ill will towards her, she could feel it, but that was all. She actually had no good feelings towards him, because her intuition told her that he did not completely believe in her as he claimed.

So relatively, she also has reservations about his trust.

The wolf boy's eyes swept across the curious, fearful, or defensive faces, and finally fell on a tall and thin woman, and his eyes lit up immediately.

That familiar feeling of intimacy arose spontaneously, just like the first time I saw Zi Yan.

She has met many people, but she has only felt this kind of intimacy from nowhere with Zi Yan, and now, there is one more person.

She didn't understand the reason, she chose to trust her intuition, and her intuition, like her wolf brother and wolf brother, was always accurate.

Zi Yan was also looking at the same person. Although she didn't have the keen intuition of the wolf boy, she had already learned about the volcanic eruption from the mouth of the crow, and knew that there was such a descendant of Nuwa with great powers who had done it for her. The mission that was supposed to be done by her.

Knowing that the people of the clan escaped the disaster, they may have found a new home and started a new life at this time, and the boulder that had been weighing on her heart finally fell to the ground.

Seeing Lin Yu, Zi Yan felt as if she had seen her former self. This woman was tall and white, and she knew it at a glance. Bask in the sun, as her people had done to her.

Thinking that the people of the clan had thrown themselves into the arms of the sky, and would no longer offer sacrifices to the mountains, and that Chishi had been given to this descendant of Nuwa to repay her for saving her life, Ziyan felt a little complicated.

"She is our wizard, Lin. Like you, she can also use the five-color stone...that is, the power of the magic stone. In addition, she is also a descendant of Shennong, who knows how to heal illnesses and wounds."

Zhang Tian switched back and forth between northern language, grassland language and forest language to introduce to both parties.

The wolf boy was confused by what he heard, wizards, five-color stones, descendants of Shennong, healing diseases...it sounded very powerful, but she didn't understand what it meant.

Only she understood the magic stone, which is what she called Huangshi.

"Can you use this stone?"

The wolf boy took out the yellow stone in a big way, and spread it out in front of everyone's eyes. After all, she has too little experience in dealing with human beings, and she doesn't know what it means to make money without revealing it.

Zhang Tian translated for Lin Yu in northern language, and then translated for Zi Yan in prairie language, without even a chance to take a breath.

It's so hard for me... He sighed inwardly.

Lin Yu laughed, seeing that the wolf boy was outspoken, she didn't hide it, she took out the white stone and the red stone, and showed them to her.

Wolf Boy and Zi Yan were both shocked. The bluestone Lin Yu had returned to Kui, otherwise, their expressions would have been even more exciting.

Lin Yu said to Ziyan: "This red stone originally belonged to the tribe on the mountain. Your tribe thought that the lineage of the high priest had been cut off, and no one would be able to use it from now on, so they gave it to me."

"I heard from the crow that you are kind to us. Grassland people always repay their kindness, so they should do so."

Zi Yan's tone was calm, without the slightest bit of dissatisfaction or unwillingness between her brows and eyes, which surprised Zhang Tian.

The wolf boy looked closely at it for a while, confirming that the two stones were no different from her magical stones, but with different colors, and murmured: "So are there so many magical stones?"

Zhang Tianshun said in her words: "This magical stone is actually called a five-color stone, which means stones of five different colors. These two stones are white stone and red stone, and yours is a yellow stone. About the origin of the five-color stone, there is a An old story, I'll tell you when I'm done talking about the business."

"story……"

The wolf child rarely listens to stories. This is not popular among the wolf clan. The ape clan has told her some. It's just trivial matters such as teasing the silly roe deer yesterday and planning to dig out the nuts hidden by the squirrel today. It's not much. mean.

Speaking of stories, Zi Yan remembered the stories told by Crow, Leopard Skin and Leopard Liver. They were the most shocking stories she had ever heard, and they still impressed her deeply.

The origin of the five-color stone sounds very exciting... She couldn't help but look forward to it.

Let's get down to business first.

The wolf boy expressed his intention to come and asked Lin Yu to heal her companion.

Zhang and Lin exchanged glances. Lin Yu immediately understood Zhang Tian's intentions and cooperated with him in a sloppy manner.

Anyway, because of the language barrier, it didn't matter what Lin Yu said. In the final analysis, Zhang Tian, ​​the translator, was leading the conversation.

Zhang Tian said without changing his face: "The purpose of the wizard's healing is to save lives, but she is very worried when she thinks that your companion will continue to attack humans and harm other lives after heals up. This is contrary to her original intention."

Hearing this, the wolf boy suddenly got a little excited, and raised his voice and said:
"The riverside people also killed my companions, and they almost killed all the wolves north of the river! But they were still not satisfied, and they wanted to come to the south bank of the river to snatch our territory! We are just guarding our homeland and protecting our companions , what’s wrong with this? Don’t wolves deserve to be slaughtered by humans and can’t fight back?”

"There is nothing wrong with that, so the wizard did not stop the attack last night. What the wizard meant was that the people on the river bank had already been punished for the attack last night, and there was no need to attack the other two tribes again."

Zhang Tian learned from the intelligence network that the defeated generals of the mother river tribe had fled to the sister river tribe.

He saw that the wolf boy was not satisfied with last night's victory and wanted to pursue the victory, so he said this.

"That's not enough!" the wolf boy howled, "I'm going to drive them out of the forest, and drive them all out!"

"The Riverside people have lived in the forest for generations, and they are also members of the forest. If you drive them all out, what is the difference between killing them all? If the Riverside people want to kill all the wolves, what will you do?"

"The Riverside people will never succeed, they will pay a terrible price!"

Zhang Tian followed her words and asked, "Are you ready?"

The wolf boy was stunned for a moment, but didn't realize it for a while: "What?"

"Are you ready to pay a painful price?" Zhang Tian was very patient. "Don't underestimate human beings. Their determination to guard their homeland and protect their companions is no worse than yours. If they are pushed into a hurry, they will do their best. Now, they I'm ready, how about you, how many companions are you going to sacrifice?"

The wolf boy stopped talking. She made the decision out of anger and hadn't thought about it yet.

"If the fight continues, the casualties will be much more tragic than last night. You want the people on the riverside to abide by the rules of the forest. There are many ways to achieve this goal, so why use the most cruel method? This will not do you any good."

The wolf boy scratched his head. Of course, she didn't want to see her companion die, but she couldn't think of any other way except bloodshed and sacrifice.

"There is no other way."

"Of course." Zhang Tian said, "I told you that you can talk to them. The Sky Clan is willing to bear witness."
