At night in the mountains, Zhou Dao sat alone on a rock and looked at the fire in front of him. The red flames reflected on his face, making Zhou Dao feel like he was dreaming. Just when Zhou Dao was meditating on the flames
Zhang Wutao came back, carrying two hares in his hand.
"Senior brother is really awesome for coming back so soon." Zhou Dao complimented.
"Catching two rabbits is not a trivial matter." Zhang Wutao was a little proud.
Zhang Wutao looked around and quickly discovered the medicinal powder on the ground.
"What is this?"
"I spread it to get rid of some insects."
Although Zhang Wutao was curious, he didn't ask again.
It was obviously not the first time that Zhang Wutao spent the night in a barren mountain. Soon the two rabbits were roasting on the fire. Zhou Dao also took one and imitated Zhang Wutao's example, flipping it over. When it was almost done, Zhang Wutao took it out of his arms.
Salt was sprinkled on top.
Although the rabbit was a bit black when roasted, Zhou Dao still swallowed subconsciously when he smelled the aroma from it. Looking at Zhang Wutao, the same thing happened.
"Okay, it should be done." Zhang Wutao took out a dagger and cut a piece on it and tasted it.
In this way, the two of them held a smoking rabbit and began to eat it.
"By the way, senior brother, I still have some food and a bottle of wine in my bag." Zhou Dao was willing to gnaw on the side and take something out of the bag.
Two rolls of flatbread, two large pieces of beef, and a gourd of wine were placed on the ground one by one by Zhou Dao.
"Why do you bring these things? I remember you don't look like an alcoholic." Zhang Wutao looked at his junior brother and frowned.
"Aren't I afraid that I won't have anything to eat on the way? These wines were given to me by those outer disciples, so I accepted them without any difficulty." Zhou Dao smiled.
"Then why put it in a gourd?"
"Originally, it was put in a bottle. I saw that the wine bottle was not strong and I was afraid it would break, so I found a gourd and poured it in."
Zhang Wutao curled his lips speechlessly and did not speak. Instead, he took off the lid and took a big sip.
"Well, that's good. Why don't these guys bring me such good wine?" After saying that, he picked up the beef in the paper bag on the floor and ate it.
"Hey, senior brother, don't finish the drink, leave some for me." Zhou Dao saw Zhang Wutao drinking heavily again, and hurried forward to grab it.
"Don't grab it, don't grab it, what are the kids drinking? Be careful and I'll tell the master when you get back."
"When I came here, I was told that I brought a lot of things, and now it's my senior brother who wants to snatch my things." After saying that, he quickly took a big sip.
Soon a bottle of wine, things on the ground, and two roasted rabbits were all eaten clean by the two of them. Looking at Zhou Dao, Zhang Wutao seemed to be not satisfied, so Zhang Wutao asked curiously, "Junior brother, I said
ah?"
"What are you doing?" Zhou Dao wiped his mouth and said.
"Why do you eat so much? You eat more than me, senior brother. Don't you usually eat like this?"
"Yes." Zhou Dao was also a little embarrassed.
"No, why do you have such a big appetite?" Zhang Wutao was a little puzzled.
"Hey, I don't know. Maybe it's because I consume a lot of energy while practicing." Zhou Dao didn't explain.
"Okay, if you are tired after a long day's journey, take a rest first and I will watch over you. Come back again in the middle of the night." After Zhang Wutao said to Zhou Dao, he sat cross-legged next to the fire.
Zhou Dao didn't refuse, and he was indeed a little tired. He found a clean place next to the fire, lay down and fell asleep.
In fact, this was not the first time that Zhou Dao spent the night in a barren mountain. When he first left home, Zhou Dao followed his master for more than ten days. Although there was a master to take care of him at the time, he didn’t have to do anything. In addition, he was basically looking for food on the road.
Living in an inn, I rarely spend the night in the wilderness. But after all, I have experienced it. In addition, there are senior brothers staying vigil next to me. So Zhou Dao didn't have any psychological burden, and he fell asleep after lying on the ground for a while.
When Zhou Dao woke up, it was still dark, but the stars in the sky had faded. It seemed that it was late at night, and the senior brother was adding materials to prevent the fire from going out.
After rubbing his eyes and taking a breath, Zhou Dao stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, you go and rest."
"Have you rested well?" After all, Zhou Dao was going out for the first time, so Zhang Wutao was a little worried.
"It's okay. You've had a good rest. You're not sleepy anymore. Senior brother, you go and have a rest. I'll take care of you."
"Well, then please be careful. I'm going to take a nap first." Zhang Wutao lay on the ground and soon began to snore.
Zhou Dao looked around and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he added more materials, and then sat by the fire to warm up. Soon the starlight in the sky faded, and the surrounding area suddenly became dark. Zhou Dao knew that at dawn
It's almost here. This is the last period of darkness before dawn.
In the darkness, Zhou Dao's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of danger came over him. This was a feeling he had never had before. He didn't even have this feeling the last time he followed the man in black. Last time it was just exciting. This
This time it was dangerous.
Zhou Dao knew that he was mentally sharp and would not be mistaken.
Close your eyes, and your spirit spreads to the surroundings like a tide. When your ears move, it is the sound of birds flying away. It is not one bird but many birds. If there is a problem, there must be a problem.
The surroundings were also very quiet. There was no movement at all. It was too quiet. It was a sign of the storm. The sense of touch continued to spread. Soon it reached the limit. Zhou Dao also faintly felt something. There seemed to be something around him and Zhang Wutao.
Surrounded by things. The chill emanating from these things made Zhou Dao know that something was not going well between him and Zhang Wutao this time.
Zhou Dao carefully came to Zhang Wutao and touched him gently. Zhang Wutao opened his eyes immediately.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Wutao asked doubtfully.
"We seem to be surrounded by something." Zhou Dao looked solemn.
Zhang Wutao saw that Zhou Dao's expression didn't look like he was joking, so he quickly sat up and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
"I feel like there's something surrounding us."
"That's wrong, why didn't I feel it?" Zhang Wutao was confused.
"I won't feel wrong." Zhou Dao said as he added fuel to the fire.
"It's not right, I feel something is wrong too." Zhang Wutao also felt it.
Zhang Wutao carefully pulled out the knife and turned around and asked, "Do you know what it is?"
"I don't know, but it doesn't look like a human being." Zhou Dao also took out his sword at this time.
The actions of the two people made the surrounding people know that they had been discovered. There was no point in hiding them anymore. So they approached the two people one by one.
A rustling sound rang out around them. Zhou Dao and Zhang Wutao stood back to back and looked around cautiously. Soon, figures appeared one by one.
"No, it's a pack of wolves." The expression on Zhang Wutao's face was a bit solemn.
