Wanqingsi

Chapter 84
Time seemed to stand still all of a sudden.

An Yuanxi and I froze all over, and instantly entered a state of alert like the wolf. We kept our posture and did not dare to move. I looked at the gray wolf as calmly as possible, and quickly searched for appropriate countermeasures in my mind.

This should be a lone wolf. I don't know why I was alone and not with the pack. I realized this, and I couldn't help but feel a little lucky.This wolf should be very old. I looked at the wolf's withered and tangled fur, with some cloudy eyes. Maybe this is the reason why it left the pack.

Neither An Yuanxi nor I dared to move, we were afraid that if we moved, the wolf would turn violent.A lone wolf who is alone dares to approach the crowd with a burning fire, unless he is dizzy from hunger. Looking at the ferocious look in the wolf's eyes, I know that it is useless to show kindness, let alone we have nothing to feed. give it.

The wolf suddenly took a step forward, I felt a chill go up my back, I became nervous, An Yuanxi tried to reach out, trying to pull a thick stick out of the fire, but just as he reached out, the wolf looked fierce The light bared its teeth, and the exposed sharp teeth gleamed eerie white in the firelight, and saliva flowed down the corners of its grinning mouth. Its body was old, but its teeth were not old. Those sharp teeth seemed to be It can tear its prey to shreds at any time.

The tense atmosphere seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.An Yuanxi and I didn't dare to act rashly anymore. My whole body tensed up, and I tried my best to keep calm and face this old wolf, not letting myself appear flustered. The wolf that bites us, if we can't fight hard, we have to wait for death.

The wolf finally couldn't stand the stalemate confrontation, screamed suddenly, ran towards us with bloodthirsty hostility, jumped up and rushed towards us, the dust rising up under his feet seemed to cause the ground to tremble slightly.

An Yuanxi pushed me away, and took out a thick wooden stick with flames from the fire, and swung it at the wolf that was on the way, knocking the wolf to the ground accurately, and it immediately turned over and stood up , bared his teeth and howled angrily, and quickly rushed towards An Yuanxi again.The nerd was pushed to the ground by the old wolf, and the wooden stick in his hand fell out. Seeing that the wolf's fangs were about to get close to his neck, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab the old wolf's neck, and tried his best to open its head.I was taken aback, picked up the thick wooden stick that An Yuanxi had thrown, and wanted to help, but one person and one wolf rolled and struggled on the ground, and I was afraid that I would miss An Yuanxi, so I couldn't do anything.At this moment, the wolf turned over on top of An Yuanxi again. I was anxious and frightened when I saw the torn blanket scattered on the ground, my eyes lit up, I grabbed it wisely, and threw my head at the wolf's hood, covering it up quickly , tighten the blanket.An Yuanxi let go of the situation, picked up the wooden stick, and beat it desperately into the blanket. The wolf struggled under the blanket. An Yuanxi was afraid that it would break the broken blanket, so he struck hard and hard. I don't know how many times he hit. , The wolf's blood gradually soaked out of the blanket, and the wolf in the blanket gradually stopped moving. We didn't know if the wolf was dead or not. We didn't dare to let go of the blanket, for fear that the wolf would jump up again.

At this moment, there was a low and angry panting sound from behind me. I turned my head hastily, and a black figure rushed over, throwing me to the ground in an instant. There was a tearing pain in my back. I turned my head, I saw a huge wolf head pressing on my shoulder.There is even a wolf?I finished howling secretly, and saw the wolf bared its fangs, and opened its mouth to bite my neck.An Yuanxi let out a roar, and I don't know where the accuracy came from. The wooden stick with sparks hit the wolf's head. The wolf wailed and fell to the ground. The sparks on the stick scattered and landed on my neck, burning I was trembling for a while, I wanted to get up, but I couldn't use any strength at all. The wolf rolled on the ground, got up, and rushed towards An Yuanxi. Neck bit off.I lay on the ground, seeing that An Yuanxi was about to die, I screamed in horror: "An Yuanxi..."

"Whoosh!" There was a strong piercing sound in the air, and with a dull sound, the wolf who was about to bite An Yuanxi's neck fiercely just now fell to the ground, his whole body twitched a few times, and his legs twitched. As soon as he stretched out, he lost his breath in an instant.I thought it was a hallucination caused by my fever, so I managed to open my eyes wide, and saw a crossbow arrow pierced into the wolf's neck, and the arrow was deeply inserted into the wolf's neck. How tight.

A man dressed in the costume of a herdsman from the Yaoyue Kingdom came over, with his back to the fire, I couldn't see his face clearly, he held a crossbow in his hand, it seemed that he was the one who fired the crossbow arrows aimed at the wolf.It wasn't a hallucination, I breathed a sigh of relief, my nerves relaxed, and the burning pain on my back immediately became more intense, my consciousness gradually collapsed, and I fell into darkness.

When I woke up again, I found that I was covered with a thick quilt, and I was lying on a warm kang, and a pot of red firewood was burning in the room.I looked around, this should be the house of the herders of Yaoyue Kingdom, why am I here?I wanted to turn over and get up, but there was a burning pain on my back, as if I was carrying dozens of catties of stones. I fell back on the kang, only to find that my upper body was naked. I was surprised. The pain on my back reminded me of In the scene before the coma, I was scratched by another wolf, and that wolf was shot and killed by a man from Yaoyue Kingdom with a crossbow.Is this the man's home?What about An Yuanxi?where is he?
At this moment, someone opened the door and walked in. I turned my head and looked hard, and saw an old woman from the Yaoyue Kingdom, holding a small bowl. Seeing me open my eyes to look at her, the old woman said happily: "Nataro, you woke up?"

Nataro?Is that me?She came over, put the bowl in her hand on the small table in front of the bed, and sat on the edge of the bed. I looked at her silently. Seeing her kind expression, she should be an ordinary mother-in-law of Yaoyue Kingdom. I said softly: "Are you ...?"

"It was my son who brought you back. He said that you met wolves. Nataro was scratched by wolves and had a fever. She was in a coma for two or three days. It was not easy to survive." The old woman said with a smile. .

In a coma for two or three days?so long? "Thank you." I said gratefully, so the Yaoyue country herdsman brought me back?But where is An Yuanxi?I looked at the door and asked, "Mother-in-law, where is the person with me?"

"He and my son went outside to look for wolfbane." The old woman said, "If you don't use wolfbane for the scratches on your back, the festering place won't be scarred, so it won't be easy to heal. But this kind of herb is hard to find, they I haven't found much in the past few days, only enough to decoct medicine, not enough to pound medicine for application."

No wonder my back hurts so much. Could it be a bacterial infection?Just as she was thinking about it, there was some noise outside the door. The old woman stood up and went out. After a while, the door was pushed open, and several people came in. The first was An Yuanxi, followed by the old woman and a strange man dressed as a herdsman.An Yuanxi rushed to my bed in a hurry, squatted down, his expression was ecstatic, but his voice was extremely soft: "You're awake."

I lay on the bed to see him, and saw that he was wearing a set of clothes worn by Yaoyue country herdsmen, which should have been borrowed from him by this family.The swelling on his face has subsided, and he has regained his handsome appearance. However, his face has become thinner, and the stubble has also appeared sparsely, making him look haggard and tired.I smiled and laughed at myself: "My life is hard, I can't die."

He relaxed his expression, and there seemed to be a smile on his face, only to hear the herdsman say: "It's good to wake up, Nataro's fever was so severe before, Anu Puba is worried."

Anu Puba?What is this?I looked up at him, and saw that the herdsman was tall and strong, with a simple and honest smile on his swarthy face.An Yuanxi introduced next to me: "This big brother Erlun is the benefactor who saved us that night, and this Mrs. Yixia is the mother of big brother Erlun."

"What kind of benevolence? I've been following these two old wolves, but I just happened to meet you." Erlun interrupted An Yuanxi, waved his hands and said with a smile, "Nataro and Puba You are so brave, you two are so thin, you actually killed the male wolf, we grassland people admire brave people the most."

"Okay, let's go out first, Nataro just woke up, Anu Puba must have a lot to say." Aunt Yi Xia interrupted Er Lun with a smile, turned her head and said to An Yuanxi, "A Niu Popa, I just made the bowl of medicine by the bedside, remember to feed it to Nataro."

The two walked out, and I asked curiously, "What do Nataro and Anu Puba mean?"

"Brother Erlun said that people in Yaoyue country call girls 'Nataro' and brothers 'Puba'." An Yuanxi picked up the bowl on the low table, scooped a spoonful of the black soup in the bowl and handed it to me Lips: "Drink the medicine!"

A strong smell of medicine came to my nostrils, I frowned: "What medicine?"

"Cure the wound on your back." He said softly, put the spoon into my mouth, I frowned and drank it, and said with my mouth, "It's so bitter!"

"Good medicine tastes bitter." My frowning expression made him smile slightly, and I continued to ask, "What do you mean by A Niu?" Is it also a title like the divine cow Attila?
An Yuanxi's face was a little embarrassed, he hesitated for a moment before saying: "I was afraid of causing trouble to them, so I told them my name is A Niu."

"Eh?" I widened my eyes in surprise, seeing An Yuanxi's embarrassed expression, I couldn't help laughing: "God, if you want to change your name, change it to something nicer, it's so silly."

An Yuanxi said angrily, "Is it that funny?"

Of course it's funny, the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't stop laughing, my body twitched, and the pain in my back suddenly hit, I took a light breath, An Yuanxi said nervously: "Don't laugh, be careful of the wound opening."

I breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then tell them what my name is? It can't be Ah Hua?"

He didn't speak, with a strange expression, and took another spoonful of medicine and handed it to my lips: "Drink the medicine."

Seeing his expression like this, I raised my eyebrows, feeling bad in my heart: "Is it really Ah Hua? God!"

"You are Ah Hua." He blocked me with a word, and there was a smile in his eyes.This idiot, now his mind is turning quickly, I said frustratedly: "Yes, yes, my name is very silly, it's okay."

"I didn't say that." He brought the medicine with the expression you said yourself.Forget it, it's better not to get entangled with these two names, I can't please them at all.I glanced at the medicine and said, "You went out to find this medicine?"

"Yeah." He put the medicine into my mouth, I frowned and swallowed it: "Let me drink it in one go, it will be more bitter if you drink it spoonful after spoonful." I am most afraid of taking medicine. It's facing Xiaohong at home, it must be Sarai who refuses to drink, but the current situation can't help me to be petty, not to mention that these medicines are hard to find, just say that we are still trapped in Yaoyue Kingdom, safety is the key If there is no guarantee for a day, if we don't heal our wounds and leave this place of right and wrong, we will have to continue to live this kind of frightening escape life.

"How do you drink it lying on your stomach?" An Yuanxi shook his head, and wiped the medicine stains on my lips with his hands. My lying position is inconvenient, and I would not drink some soup when I drink the medicine. An Yuanxi wiped my hands naturally The corners of his lips were completely unaware that there was something wrong with his movements.Although I don't have the concept of incompatibility between men and women, at least in the pedantic concept of nerds, this is inappropriate.My heart skipped a beat, remembering these days, this nerd has unknowingly retreated a bit. It seems that the environment can transform people, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Seeing me staring at him blankly, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." I smiled slightly.An Yuanxi is actually a pretty good person, just based on his performance of working hard in the shop on weekdays, it should have been able to offset the heinous hatred he criticized for me, not to mention that he will never leave me in this disaster .I am a selfish woman who has been poisoned by the materialistic society of the 21st century. When others treat me very well, I will only treat them kindly. If others treat me badly, I will treat them very badly.That's all, Ye Haihua, don't tease him anymore.

——2006, September, 11
I came back last night, sorry for keeping you waiting for so long after walking for so many days.

I was too tired from the business trip. I traveled to eleven places in eight days. I was on the road every day. Sometimes I had to go to three cities in one day. I originally took my books to write, but except for typing a few hundred words on the first night, I was tired every day after that. It’s terrible, I don’t have any thoughts at all, and I can only code with peace of mind at home, so I look forward to posting a lot of friends at once, I’m sorry, I’m going to disappoint you, I’m very sorry.
