At night, the temperature in the grassland drops sharply, and the cold wind howls. Even though it is spring, I still inevitably take out a thick winter quilt and cover myself with it after nightfall.
Several wolf howls came from the forest at the end of the grassland, which made people shudder. Zhang San couldn't help but wrap up the quilt tightly.
"San'er, do you feel that this wolf howling is not right?" Just when Zhang San was drowsy, he was suddenly kicked on the buttocks and almost fell out of bed.
Zhang San glared at the visitor angrily, "Wang Si, you are seeking death! I'm almost asleep!"
The two were sleeping in a tent at this time. In addition to the bed, there were only clothes and food. The two grown men were guarding a piece of grassland, and they were not very particular about it. In February, the ninth princess was kidnapped, and the big shots in the palace came over.
After some investigation, a secret passage was discovered in the hunting area. Later, apart from the two of them, there was also a team of guards patrolling nearby.
Fortunately, the arrival of a few people did not reduce the money of the two brothers. Instead, they specially built a tent for the two brothers. Later, a team of people came here, bringing a few wolves that were said to be His Majesty's pets.
At first, the two of them were afraid that they would fall asleep in the middle of the night and accidentally become the rations of the wolves. But gradually, they found that the wolves seemed to be active only in the forest. Once, Zhang San accidentally walked into the forest while patrolling in the middle of the night and met him.
There was a gray wolf with a bloody rabbit in its mouth. The rabbit's head was hanging down next to the sharp canine teeth. The blood dripped down and accumulated in a puddle on the fallen leaves.
Zhang San thought he was going to burp at that time, but the gray wolf just glanced at it with its green eyes, then turned and left. Zhang San also saw clearly the slightly smaller one following the big bad wolf.
Gray wolf, the strange thing is that the smaller gray wolf glared at Zhang San with sad eyes, just like a human being.
Zhang San escaped and went back to talk to Wang Si. The two of them decided not to go to the forest again. After all, they had agreed at the beginning that they would only guard the grassland.
Before Zhang San could figure it out, a torch suddenly lit up not far away.
"..."
Zhang San remembered clearly that there was a bright moon hanging in the sky before going to bed. How come it was only an hour later that there were only seven stars left?
"Quick! Stop it! Don't let it escape!"
The guard's voice came through the wind. Just when Zhang Sang was about to ask Wang Si how the situation was going, he saw a group of gray wolves suddenly jump out from the corner of his eye, swaggering past the two of them, and then headed towards the capital at an extremely fast speed.
Run in the direction.
The grassland is vast, and since it is on a mountain, the view is extremely open and unobstructed by anything else. The stars and moon seen from here seem to be brighter than those seen outside the house in the past.
"Damn it! Why is this beast so crazy today? He suddenly broke through the fence and ran away?"
Zhang San hugged the quilt and listened carefully for a while, then turned around and was about to talk to Wang Si, when he saw that Wang Si had already put on his thin coat and felt hat, and seemed to want to go out to investigate.
At the end of the sentence, Zhang San saw that Wang Si was not listening at all, but took out the machete from the corner, resignedly let go of the quilt, and stood up.
"It should be nothing serious. It's almost midnight. The moon is so full today. The wolf liked it and barked a few times. It should be nothing."
After getting dressed, the howling of wolves continued. Zhang San shivered as he was hit by the cold wind. He looked up at the sky and couldn't help but uttered a curse word.
But in the past, it was very quiet in the middle of the night. The wolves that howled occasionally kept howling for some reason, but they were not wolves and could not understand what was being said.
"His grandma's! Where did the moon go when it was so bright before I went to bed?"
"Trash! Don't shoot, this is the Ninth Princess's pet! If it dies, your life won't be enough to kill you!"
"Jiu'er! Your uncle Liuliu is here!"
The wolf howled and quickly disappeared in front of the two of them.
Zhang San and Wang Si looked at each other and saw the panic in each other's eyes.
