140 The Bond of the Wolf
The orange sun sank into the horizon and the sky gradually darkened.
I raised my hand and took off the hat on my head, wiped off the sweat that fell from my forehead, put the precious medicinal materials I had finally found in my hand into the backpack on the side before breathing a long sigh. Then I realized that the sky was dark.
I heard that there have been wolves in this forest recently, but I don’t know whether it is true or false. No matter whether it is true or false, I, a girl, dare not stay here for too long, and if I go back late, my master will blame me.
The mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, the night wind is sad, and before I know it, there are already little insects chirping in the grass. I look up and there are rocks in the distance, like monsters waiting for prey. The mountain road that is always familiar to us is extremely difficult to walk today. I blame myself for being careless and forgetting time.
At this time, a strange sound sounded behind me. I recalled the villagers' words that the wolf pack was invading and my heart suddenly became cold. Did I really meet it? As the sound approached quickly, I was so anxious that tears were about to flow out. I took a deep breath and took out a scimitar of mowing herbs from my backpack. I ran to the bottom of the mountain as if there was help from my feet.
If I were eaten by a wolf today, I could only blame myself for being careless and forgetting time.
No matter how fast I ran, I had only two legs. The wolves chasing me had four legs. I have to say that they ran very fast, and they came from left to right in a short while. I could almost imagine the wolf's saliva pounced on me, which was creepy.
"Ah!——" The wolf pack in the night scared me, causing me to be unable to see clearly under my feet. I didn't know what I was stepping on and rolled down the hillside. The basket was also hanging by branches while it was rolling down. At this time, I didn't care about anything else and held the scimitar tightly with both hands. This was my last self-defense weapon!
Finally, I hit a rock hard and rolled my body before I could barely stop. I stood up with grinning, the pain made me extremely awake. I glanced at me and there were seven wolves surrounding me!
I held the scimitar in front of me and made a defensive move.
I have never seen these beasts. Their hungry eyes that emitted a faint green light made my back hairy, my whole body trembled, and my legs were even soft and unable to move at all.
"What should I do? So many wolves?" After listening carefully, my teeth were trembling.
The tall and strong wolf shouted "Oao" and walked towards me step by step. It was full of momentum and fully interpreted the posture of a winner.
"Help!" I finally found my voice and shouted at the top of my voice, hoping that someone could come to save me. This is my last expectation.
The head wolf seemed to see through my weakness and incompetence, and actually ran a few steps and soared into the air and rushed towards me!
The instinct of survival made me wave the scimitar in my hand randomly. By chance, the knife actually cut the head wolf's ear, and blood flowed in an instant.
Although I was a small victory in this game, my actions obviously angered the wolves. The head wolf wailed again, and the wolves howled. Then I saw the most terrifying scene in my life, and the seven wolves rushed towards me. I could almost imagine how miserable my way of death was under the wolf. They would bite my flesh and blood, and if I didn't die immediately, every bit of pain in the wolf pack's bite of my body would be vivid in my mind.
I closed my eyes in despair, thinking that I started practicing medicine at the age of eight, and it has been 10 years since then. I didn't expect that after saving countless lives, I would be gnawed by the wolves without leaving the entire body. It's really unfair to go to heaven.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The deafening gunfire brought my chaotic thinking back to reality. Some warm things were sprinkled on my face, and the smell was very strong. I opened my eyes and looked around. The corpses of three wolves were lying on the ground. Blood was gushing out from the middle of their eyebrows. The head wolf was closest to me, and it was obviously its blood splattered on my face.
I felt relieved, it was a gun! A hunter saved me! I felt that my courage had also increased. I continued to wave the scimitar in my hand, which was a storm. The remaining four wolves saw their companions die, and obviously had no momentum to attack me again.
The leaderless wolf led them to lose their backbone and turned around and ran away with a low whimper.
Seeing that the wolf was really running away, I breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had the strength to stand, and my whole body collapsed on the ground. After resting for a few minutes, I remembered the life-savior who shot. Seeing the wolf's death, the man clearly shot from behind me. So I got up and ran to the hill behind me, hoping that my life-savior had not yet gone far, so that I could repay his life-savior.
Running up the hill, the night style was cold outside. With the faint light, I didn't see a single figure. I lowered my head in disappointment. However, I found a man in a deep grass. The man was lying motionless in the grass, with black blood everywhere, and a faint stench. This was the smell of rotten meat! I walked down the hillside, but I saw him holding a spear in his other hand, and bright red blood was leaching from his arms that had been simply bandaged.
Is this my life-saving benefactor? Judging from his appearance, he must have suffered serious injuries. I don’t know how long he has been here, but the wound has rotted due to no medicine.
I came forward with the courage to say, "You saved me, right?" I hope he is still alive.
The man didn't speak or move, and looked like a dead person. I was unwilling to give in. Since he saved me, I should save him too. I walked to the man in two or three steps and turned him over. He had no sign of blood and dust on his head and face. I picked up my sleeves and wiped them back and forth, but found that the dirty things seemed to have grown into flesh.
I was curious about who he was. I could see that its clothes were somewhat like the uniforms of the city's military police, but the colors and details were different. Now I was even more confused, but the grace of saving my life should be repaid, not to mention that I am a doctor, and it is my responsibility to be reasonable.
After looking around, I remembered that there was a small cave not far away. It would be much safer to help him there. The wolves in this area were too rampant to keep him in this dangerous place.
The man was already unconscious but he was still holding the spear tightly in his hand. This man was so heavy. I tried a lot of effort to drag him and pull him into the cave. He let out a long breath and stretched his arms to move his painful muscles and bones. Then he found some wood near the entrance of the cave, and moved a few more stones to roughly block the entrance of the cave.
The fire gradually rose, and I picked up the basket and found that there was only one herbal medicine for treating external injuries. It seemed that I could only wait until I got home tomorrow to get something before coming over.
Looking at the man with dark and black all over, I really didn't know how to start. After thinking about it, he was so seriously injured that he might have not eaten or drunk for several days, so I took out the water and poured it into him first, but a piece of dry cake could not be fed no matter what.
Seeing that there were several serious knife wounds on his wound, the wound was boned, so it was not on the vital point. The other injuries seemed to fall from a high place and were cut by stones. It was not a very serious injury, but the wound worsened and suppurated due to the lack of timely treatment, which looked particularly terrifying.
"I can only do that much today." I mashed the only herb that was useful for his injuries and applied it to several wounds that seemed serious. "I will come home tomorrow to bring you something. Don't worry, I will definitely cure you." I spoke to the person who didn't know whether he was conscious or not.
The air was very cold at night. I covered him with the weeds I brought, and burned the fire a little more. I struggled between life and death for a while and was so tired that I fell asleep against the wall.
"Rong'er, Rong'er--" In a daze, I heard someone calling my name, and when I heard this voice, I almost jumped up happily.
I crawled at the entrance of the cave and looked out, and saw a large group of people posing at the torches
Looking for me, the person who takes the lead is the master!
I moved the stone at the entrance of the hole away, threw the basket out first, and then placed the water bag next to the man, "I'll see you tomorrow." So I quickly climbed out of the hole, and carefully blocked the hole. Then I carried the basket and ran towards the master.
"Master, Master, I'm here!" I was so happy that my master finally came to pick me up.
"Rong'er, you scared the master to death. Didn't you meet a pack of wolves?" The master's beard was gray, and his wrinkled face was very friendly and concerned about me. He was my only relative now.
"I met it." I lowered my head and felt very aggrieved. It was unwise to have a wolf's corpse ahead of me to tell lies.
"What! Then you weren't injured, aren't you?" The master was extremely worried and pulled me up and down, left and right to see clearly, "How did you avoid it?" The master couldn't help but wonder when he saw that I didn't look like I was injured. He must have never expected that a girl, I, would be safe when I met a wolf pack.
"It was a hunter who saved me." That was a strange man. I didn't know his identity, so I could only say such things.
"Who is that person? I want to bring a gift to my house and thank you in person." The master is also a person with temperament and values morality.
I shook my head, "He killed the three wolves and left, and I don't know who he is."
The master nodded and was a little disappointed, but he was happy to see me coming back in full, "Okay! Everyone is very anxious that you are fine, let's go back!"
I looked at everyone gratefully. These are all villagers in the village. "Thank you everyone."
"Miss Rong doesn't know how many people in our village have saved, and everyone should do this." A young man smiled very honestly, and the villagers also agreed.
"Yes, yes..."
