Liu Ruyan walked slowly, and halfway through a group of soldiers who had just returned from the river, walking towards Song Camp with their arms around her shoulders.
"Did you hear it? This sound must be a wolf, right?" Xiaobing asked his companion.
Other soldiers grew up in Dadu Village and had never seen a pack of wolves, but they had also heard of wolf howlings.
"I'm afraid of it. Which wild wolf dares to come and play wildly in our army of 100,000?"
"That's right." The soldier shrank his neck, and always felt that there were dark woods around him, and he felt very nervous, "I once heard from the old man that if he was walking alone at night, he would encounter someone patting his shoulder on his shoulder.
, Don't look back... The hungry lone wolf will put his claws on his shoulders. If a person turns back at this time, he will be bitten by one's throat!"
The soldier said with a slight slight voice, and suddenly, a hand claw was put on his shoulder from behind and gasped at his neck.
He immediately turned pale, screamed, spread his feet and ran away.
The soldier who was on his shoulder hung his right hand in the air, a little confused, "What's he running around? The story hasn't been finished yet."
The story-telling soldier ran away alone, walking the night road alone, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"Bah, it's all my fault for this stinky mouth. I'm telling the story of a wolf on my shoulders. I'll scare myself!"
He was nagging in a low voice, and at this moment, a light floated in his sight.
The soldier was so energetic that he saw the person standing behind the warm orange lantern that looked familiar. He rubbed his eyes and finally remembered that this person was Zeng Jin, the deputy general of the navy.
"General Zeng--" Xiaobing smiled and gave a greeting to Zeng.
Zeng Jin seemed to see him, and nodded slightly, as if he had said hello.
The navy and the Song army did not have much friendship on weekdays, and the soldiers did not expect to use his lanterns, so they turned around and continued to walk towards the Song camp.
Fortunately, the moonlight was bright tonight, and the clear moonlight was like a cicada's wing, covering the mountain. However, not long after walking out, the top of my head seemed to be covered with a layer of curtains, and the whole world suddenly fell into darkness.
The soldier looked up at the moon and saw black ink clouds floating above the sky. The clouds covered the moon and could not see through the moonlight. The only oil-paper lantern seemed to be swallowed by the night. He turned around to see General Zeng, but saw the lantern.
It was knocked to the ground and the flames were almost extinguished.
The soldier thought it was not good, so he ran towards Zeng Jin, but when he saw the scene in front of him, his pupils suddenly shrank.
He saw Zeng Jin being knocked down by something, and the man was trapped backwards, forced into the jungle by a force, and instantly drowned in the darkness.
The wolf howling echoed through the valley, the soldier's scalp was numb, and he immediately burst into cold sweat.
Wolf with shoulders, wolf with shoulders...
General Zeng was bitten to death by a lone wolf...
Half an hour later, the patrol soldiers came to the scene with their military dogs.
Since Liu Ruyan was nearby at the time of the incident, she volunteered to assist the patrol soldiers in investigating the situation.
The soldier who witnessed the whole incident with his own eyes still couldn't help but be afraid, "I saw General Zeng being bitten by a wolf and dragged into the jungle..."
Liu Ruyan glanced at the soldier - the upper on his right foot was wet, covered with mud and grass chips, and his left foot was relatively refreshing. It can be seen that he accidentally stepped on a puddle because he couldn't see the road under his feet clearly.
"How is the moonlight when the incident happened?" she asked suddenly.
"I remember that the moon was covered by clouds and was covered in black. There was no light left." The soldier muttered.
"Since the clouds are blocking the moon, how can you determine that General Zeng was bitten to death by a wolf, not to be killed by someone!"
Her eyes were sharp, like a poisoned knife, which made people dare not look up.
"I heard the wolf howl then, so I thought it was taken away by the wolf..." he explained tremblingly.
"So, you didn't see the wolf with your own eyes at that time, but just imagined it!"
"Brother Dazhuang--" the patrolman ran over and said to Liu Ruyan, "There are indeed traces of wolf packs moving around here, and we also found this on the hillside."
Liu Ruyan took over the thing in his hand, which was a small piece of rags and rags.
"General Zeng rolled down the hillside from here!" The patrolman took her to a piece of grass.
Liu Ruyan bent down. Judging from the creases of the grass stem, it was about two feet wide, which was indeed the size and width of an adult man. In addition, all the grass was lodged in one direction, which was also in line with the characteristics of a sneak attack by wild beasts.
As for the blood stains on the tip of the grass, she gently twisted them with her fingers, which were fresh blood left half an hour ago, but it is still impossible to determine whether it was a human or a beast.
I continued down the hillside, but saw the traces of grass falling suddenly disappearing, as if a person had evaporated out of thin air... Could it be... Zeng Jin successfully escaped from the wolf's mouth and ran away?
Liu Ruyan lay in the grass and carefully identified the footprints, "How come there is no..."
Not only is there no footprint on the ground, there are not even creases on the grass stems, but it is impossible for people to disappear out of thin air.
She looked around in a daze, the night wind passed by the faint fragrance floated, and the plants and trees swayed in the wind, and everything around them was silent, and it seemed that there was only the sound of wind, water, and insects left in the world.
Liu Ruyan looked for new clues along the way, and until the sound of water rushing in her ears, she suddenly realized that she had arrived near the river beach again.
The grass on both sides of the river beach was trampled by navy for a long time, and the grass that had just sprouted seemed listless. She walked slowly, and under the moonlight, she could vaguely distinguish the messy footprints in the river sand.
This kind of footprint is quite special. It looks like rows of fine combs in the mud and sand, which are the nail-toothed wooden clogs worn by the Jiangnan navy.
In addition to wearing wooden clogs, the navy also has a lighter tung oil shoes.
Liu Ruyan walked along the water bank and saw the river sand wet, and the two footprints were intertwined, and no other footprints could be identified.
After searching all the way, Liu Ruyan turned around and walked back, but at this moment, she saw a strange mark in the soil, round, about the size of a copper coin, hiding among the many footprints.
This mark is covered with footprints. It seems that it was left not long ago...
Liu Ruyan thought to herself and looked at the water surface and was in a daze.
At that time, she stood quietly on the river beach.
Above head, the Milky Way is shining and the bright moon is thousands of miles away.
Layers of scales rose with the wind, and a drifting wood floated from the river with silver light.
The drifting wood lies across the river, and it looks like a small boat from afar.
Look closely...
It's obviously a drowning ghost.
Liu Ruyan immediately thought of Zeng Jin.
She rushed into the water in one step and dived into the bottom of the water one after another.
After finding the floating corpse, Liu Ruyan turned the man's body over and showed a face.
The quiet moonlight shines, reflecting the man's delicate eyebrows.
The clear eyelashes are better than those with cleavage feathers. They are straightened under the bridge of the nose, and the crimson lips contain white jade. They are truly unparalleled and outstanding.
The man woke up in her arms, and his eyes, which were like a water lily blooming, gradually condensed.
It seemed as if all the beautiful colors had faded away, and there was only a touch of sharp colors left.
"Ding, your male protagonist has arrived at the site, please be careful to check it."
"Ding, the villain's cultivation has been activated, please start the plot."
