Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 339 The Cunning Wolves

Song Yuan and his group stared at each other, almost understanding what the massacre last night was about.

This group of people hunted the wolves and dug out the wolf den. That night, the herdsmen's sheep broke in in the wind and snow, and then they were retaliated by the wolves. After the revenge last night, the wolf cubs were not taken away. , I’m afraid that the wolves don’t have much fighting power left.

But even so, Song Yuan was glad that the target of the wolves last night was not them. Otherwise, they would have no experience in dealing with wolves, and they would be more likely to suffer losses.

Song Yuan remained silent and just touched the wolf cub's head. Halfway through the meal, another shout came from the noisy street, and the people who were shouting and having fun were stopped by the shout.

"The beast takes revenge and bites people to death." The man who screamed looked frightened and looked like a herdsman.

Suddenly, there was a lot of curses on the lively street. Many people picked up the guy and rushed out. In such a battle, even the clerk in the store came to the door curiously and looked around. He was scolded by the shopkeeper two or three times before he was willing to move back. work.

"This group of beasts should be killed to save trouble." The shopkeeper cursed.

Wei Yan whispered: "I'm afraid it's the place we saw."

"The people here have the ability to hunt wolves. Usually the wolves don't come close, but now they are attacking the sheep several times. It must be due to the lack of food in the cold winter. Although such large-scale hunting can deter the wolves, It's a cunning animal, not so easy to deal with." Song Yuan touched the wolf cub: "It will be dark in a while, and it is not wise to leave the city at this time."

Wei Yan was convinced that if there was a blizzard outside, it would really make the sky and the earth inoperable, but the crowd was agitated at the moment, and it was obvious that they could not stop it.

After eating a full stomach, fatigue came over him. Song Yuan was very sleepy and had not slept all night. Now his body was slightly warm and he slacked off. They only got three rooms, and Song Yuan was used to the big kang in the room. She found a seat to the side and lay down. Wei Yan and several guards slept in the same room with her. No one had the energy to speak, and they quickly fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was dark outside. The sound of howling wind and snow was like the cry of ghosts. It was so permeable to listen to. Song Yuan noticed something in his arms as soon as he moved. He opened the quilt and took a look and found that it was a little wolf cub. It was there. A group of smelly grown men chose her, and they got in without knowing when, lying on her wolfskin apron and sleeping soundly.

The guards next to him had already stood up. Except for one guard who was burning a charcoal pot, there was no trace of the others.

Song Yuan sat up and rubbed his eyes: "When is it?"

"Your Highness, it's almost midnight." The guard hurriedly poured hot water over and said, "They have all gone to eat. Please bring the food."

Song Yuan nodded, and after taking a sip of hot water, she regained some strength. She was very tired from this sleep, and she seemed to have accumulated food. Her spleen and stomach were swollen, which made her very uncomfortable.

Before the guards came back, Song Yuan walked around the room twice to do some activities. When he walked to the window, there was a slight cold wind pouring in from the gap, like a silver needle, it hurt wherever he blew.

"It's really a snowstorm."

Not long after, Wei Yan came in with food: "The food in this small town is rough, so your highness should take a few bites."

Song Yuan washed his hands before sitting down: "Have the people who left the city come back?" "No, the city gates are closed." Wei Yan carried a bowl of goat milk to feed the wolf cub: "In such a big snowstorm, even if it is When we got to the place, we couldn’t find any traces, and all the smells and footprints were blown away.”

Song Yuan was eating. After consuming the hot noodle soup, his body finally felt better, and his bloated spleen and stomach were relieved a lot: "It's been quite windy and snowy these past two days. Let's not go on the road rashly. Stay here longer." I'll take a look around carefully in a few days. The northwest is too big and the towns are scattered, so it's rare to come here."

"Yes." Wei Yan put away the bowls and chopsticks and quickly brought up a bucket of hot water.

Song Yuan soaked her feet comfortably and relaxed: "With such a heavy snowstorm, if we can seize the time to pack the snow into the well, we won't have to worry about water after the spring begins. It's just that such a heavy snowstorm , the construction section will inevitably stop work, what if someone is killed by the freeze?"

She was so worried that she didn't even have time to soak her feet.

After waiting patiently until midnight, Song Yuan could no longer bear the cold. She lay back on the bed, and the wolf cub immediately came over and lay on her wolfskin apron with a groan. Wei Yan and others did not return to the house. Song Yuan Yuan didn't bother to ask where they were going, so he lay quietly and fell asleep again without realizing it.

In her sleep, hundreds of corpses of civilian husbands were placed in the snow, and wailing women and children were kneeling on the ground. Many people were accusing her of disregarding human life. So many people froze to death while repairing water conservancy projects. Without waiting for her explanation, The water cellar suddenly collapsed in front of her, but in the blink of an eye, several more lives were lost.

Song Yuan only felt dizzy. She went to take a look, but she suddenly appeared in the Taihua Palace. Emperor Hong Ming scolded her with raised eyebrows. People watching the theater stood next to her, and everyone laughed to see how she could save herself.

Song Yuan opened her eyes suddenly and looked at the dim room. Then she realized that she was dreaming, but the panic in the dream was too real. She couldn't adapt to it for a while, her heartbeat was extremely strong, and she seemed to have a layer of cold sweat all over her body. Sweat wrapped around her.

"Your Highness." Wei Yan was separated from her by an empty bed, and he was very alert when sleeping. He woke up when Song Yuan's breathing quickened a little, and asked in a low voice: "Did you have a nightmare?"

Song Yuan shook his head to indicate that he was fine. Seeing that the others were not awake yet, he remained silent, turned over and continued to huddle under the quilt.

Before she could sleep for a while and squint for a while, there was a sudden explosion of shouting and noise on the street, shattering the quiet morning. For a moment, everyone in the house woke up, and someone rushed to the window. After looking at it, the others immediately put on their clothes and shoes to prevent any unexpected events.

Song Yuan also stood up quickly. As soon as she put the wolfskin scarf on her body, a government servant came and knocked on the door: "Your Highness, the people who went out of the city last night came back. They encountered a snowstorm and wolves, causing heavy casualties."

Song Yuan hurriedly walked to the window and opened it to investigate. He saw a chaos on the street. Several people were carried in. They were covered in blood and stinging. They didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

They rushed to the town's inn, roaring all the way, waking up the whole town.

Song Yuan did not join in the fun. The guards all went downstairs to watch the fun and inquire. Seeing the horrified screams of the people who were carried back, the onlookers all looked heavy.

"Your Highness." The guard inquired clearly: "Yesterday they were lured by several dying wolves and fell into a snow pit. They encountered a snowstorm and froze for most of the night. Those who managed to survive were attacked by wolves in the middle of the night. , not many, they say there are only four or five wolves, 21 people left, only five came back, and two of them are still alive or dead."
