The carriage pulled by the Horse-footed Dragon stopped and went. I don’t know how long it had been going. The man in the carriage, Bodokasi Jie, was also in a daze. He hadn’t eaten for two days. He only knew that he was going east, but he didn’t know where to go.
Where did they go until the Hippodrome stopped again and was attracted by a rotting buffalo carcass in the grass.
"Did you see it, Huahua, there's a carriage ahead?" A young girl's voice appeared in the wilderness.
Huahua is a white-brown piebald puppy. She and her little owner, a 12-year-old girl, are also sitting on a cart. The cart is wooden and has no hood, with some fodder and some picked crops piled on it.
The little girl and the little spotted dog were sitting in front of the cart. The cart was being pulled by a brown-gray mule. Although the cart was not big, it did not move very fast.
The mule pulling the cart stopped a few dozen meters away from the horse-footed dragon's carriage. Apparently the ferocious looks of the four horse-footed dragons frightened it and made it afraid to go any further.
"Why is there a carriage here? Whose is it?" The little girl looked at it from a distance for a while. The little flower dog next to her suddenly barked at the carriage in the distance. The little girl quickly hugged the dog and whispered softly.
Said in the dog's ear: "Stop barking, don't let them find us."
In fact, the horse-footed dragon had discovered them a long time ago, but at this moment, the four horse-footed dragons began to stir one after another. They jumped up and down, and suddenly attacked and howled at each other. The little girl was a little scared, but did not run away. She stared with wide eyes.
He said, "Oh, they seem to have eaten something bad."
Sure enough, after a while, the four horse-footed dragons fell to the ground one after another, and the carriage was overturned.
The little girl jumped down from the mule carriage, and the little flower dog jumped down too. The little girl looked at it and said, "Hua Hua, let's go over there. Maybe there are people in the car."
The little girl pinched her nose and ran forward. She saw four twitching Hippodrome lying in the grass and the carrion of a half-eaten wild buffalo. She turned around and opened the door of the carriage, and she saw a man lying down.
In the carriage.
"Ah, there really is someone!" The little girl jumped back in fright, then walked closer and looked inside: "Huahua, is the person dead? It seems that he is still alive."
Huahua barked twice.
There was a strong stench in the carriage, but the odor had been covered up by the rotting smell of buffalo. The little girl touched her body, found a handkerchief to plug her nose, and carefully climbed into the overturned carriage: "Hey, stranger,
Are you injured?"
"Water...water..." Bodokasijie's pain felt much lighter, but he had not taken in water or rice in the past two days and his body was very weak.
"Do you want to drink water? The water is in my car. I will help you up." The little girl looked at the swarthy man as if he had just been fished out of the ink tank. She tried to help him.
But the other person seemed to have no strength at all, and she couldn't help him, so she said: "I'll bring my water bag, you wait."
She returned to her little mule cart, took out a water bag from the hay pile, and picked out two large and red ones from three small baskets of wild fruits. When she turned back, she pulled out some yellow withered grass.
Knead it into a ball and stuff it into your nostrils, then use the handkerchief just now to make a mask to cover your mouth and nose.
The little flower dog followed her and ran back to the horse-footed dragon's carriage, and entered the carriage again. The little girl put the fruit in her pocket, struggled to hold up the man's head and put it on her lap, then opened the plug of the leather water bag and brought it to
He said: "Here, the water is here. Open your mouth and drink slowly."
Bodokashijie's eyes were dimmed, he listened to Cong's instructions, opened his mouth, and sucked the water from the cowhide water bag.
The water is not ordinary white water, there is also a bit of floral fragrance in it. The cowhide bag containing the water has water crayon patterns, and a red glass bead is hung from the end of the stopper with a cyan knot. This little girl is obviously careful.
, and a girl full of enthusiasm for life, even if she is simple and poor, she integrates the joy of life into every detail.
The water in the cowhide bag was quickly drunk. The little girl shook the empty leather bag in surprise. She was a little disappointed and sad, but when she lowered her head, she found that the man had opened his eyes and showed a kind and innocent smile: "Oh.
, I brought some fruit here, it’s very sweet, you can try it.”
"Thank you... thank you..." Bodokaji said weakly.
The girl took out the fruit, handed it to his mouth, fed it to him, and then looked outside the carriage: "Well, it stinks here so much. I should think of a way to take you out. But you are too heavy and I can't pull you up."
Yeah. Hey, yes, I'll bring the mule over, then help you lie on the back of the mule, and then take you to my car, how about it?" He said, thinking about himself, and nodded with self-confidence.
He said: "Yeah, I'm still a little smart, so I'm not as stupid as others say."
Bodokajie finished one piece of fruit and started to eat the second one. He was fascinated by the bright smile on the girl's face and the innocent eyes, and his thoughts drifted into the distance.
After feeding him the fruit, the girl lifted his head carefully, took a mat from the carriage and put it on him, ran to her car, took off the rope that tied the mule, and led the mule back.
But this stupid gray mule with a bad brain was afraid of the horse-footed dragon on the ground and did not dare to get too close. The girl had no choice but to soothe the mule's mane and slowly lead it closer.
In the carriage, Bodokasijie listened to the girl's voice comforting the mules and horses, and sang folk songs from time to time. His heart twitched, and slowly he got up and stepped out of the carriage.
The little girl who was holding the mule backwards saw the man in the car coming out, and said happily: "Ah, you can get up. I brought the mule over right away. It was afraid of the four guys on the ground. Haha, actually I am too
Scared, but it doesn’t matter, I..."
Suddenly, Bodokasijie fell down from the carriage, ran over and grabbed the little girl's neck. The little girl was frightened and was soon choked so hard that she couldn't breathe. The flowers on the ground were "woofing"
It kept screaming ferociously, pounced on Bodokasijie's legs and bit it.
Bodokashijie used all his strength to strangle the little girl's neck, turned over his right foot and stepped on it, forcing the little flower dog into the mud. He let out a short "ouch" and then made no sound.
In less than half a minute, the little girl's neck was crushed, her head fell to one side weakly, her eyes were bulging, and she still didn't understand why until her death.
Bodokasijie just quietly held the little girl's neck and held it up for a few minutes. He looked at the girl's tragic death for a few minutes before throwing her into the four horse-footed dragons. He held the mule and walked toward the girl.
He walked away in a small car. He knew that these horse-footed dragons were not dead, and they might not die. When they recovered from the poisoning, the girl's body would become their snack...
