[Wolf]
The night was as deep as ink, and the stars slowly sank toward the western sky. The mountains and fields are completely silent, and the cries of beasts can be faintly heard in the distance.
Xie Liang suddenly straightened up and said, "Did you hear the wolf howl?"
Shen Huaishan said: "It seems that there are. But it is not unusual to have wild wolves here, it may not be—"
At this moment, another wolf howl came. Xie Liang frowned, listened for a while, and said firmly: "It's Fan Aiguo. He's looking for me!"
Shen Huaishan said: "Your wolf name is quite individual."
Suddenly hearing footsteps approaching not far away, a traveler panicked: "Why are there wolves? It seems to be still barking this way!"
Another person said: "Don't be cowardly, we have a torch, and we will destroy it with one shot."
The two men passed under the tree waving torches, looking up and searching around. Xie Liangyin didn't dare to make a sound among the high branches and leaves, but couldn't help but said angrily: "He's going up the mountain..."
Shen Huaishan also comforted with a voice: "The wolf will not approach the fire when it sees the light."
Xie Liang shook his head and said: "My wolf is different, he will definitely run to the fire to find me. Don't let them see him!"
A traverser stopped and said, "There seems to be movement."
Shen Huaishan covered Xie Liang's mouth, held his breath and remained motionless.
The two searched unsuccessfully and walked away slowly. Shen Huaishan let go of his hand, held Xie Liang down and said, "Calm down, you are so injured, you must not act rashly."
Xie Liang thought quickly, "But I can remind him."
Shen Huaishan scolded: "Are you stupid? This cry exposed the hiding place. That wolf is more important than life?"
Xie Liang didn't answer.
Seeing the change in his expression, Shen Huaishan slowly said: "You are crazy."
Xie Liang didn't argue, nodded and said: "Senior, you go first, this matter has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to delay. I will wait until you are far away before calling."
[Debt repayment]
The wolf howled again and again.
Shen Huaishan said: "I won't leave. This is not in line with my professionalism."
Xie Liang said: "I know that senior has good intentions, but the situation is special, I must not just sit and watch him come to die, and hope senior will be fulfilled."
Shen Huaishan said angrily: "I've managed to save your life so far. No matter how important a beast is, it's still a beast. If my horse dies, your wolf can't die?"
"..."
Xie Liang said: "It's a long story. It's not just a wolf."
Shen Huaishan said: "My horse is not just a horse!"
Xie Liang said anxiously: "It's really different... Although your horse is not just a horse, it is still a horse after all..."
[Desperate situation]
Seeing Shen Huaishan's puzzled expression, Xie Liang had no intention of explaining any further, and simply said: "If you don't leave, senior, I'll just yell."
Shen Huaishan waved his hands and said, "It's unreasonable, I won't be buried with you!" Turning around, he jumped and disappeared into the forest.
Xie Liang closed his eyes and counted silently: "Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight..."
The sky full of stars is silent, as if looking down at the cycle of cause and effect with cold eyes.
Xie Liang's hands drenched in cold sweat couldn't hold the sword, and he simply put the long sword across his knees, with a somewhat solemn appearance.
"Four, three, two..."
Xie Liang opened his eyes and took a deep breath, sank all the way to his dantian, and suddenly shouted: "Fan Aiguo!"
This time, with all the power of his life, the sound shook the forest and the mountains echoed. There was a commotion among the traversers not far away, but the howling of the wolf stopped.
Xie Liang hissed, "Go down the mountain! I'll meet you at the foot of the mountain!"
Then he heard the wolf let out a short "ow" and there was no more words. The traversers came rushing to follow the sound, and said one after another: "Sure enough, it's on the tree! Aim at that tree, and you can always hit it!"
The first shot hit Xie Liang in the waist.
Xie Liang shrank in pain, raised his hand tremblingly to straighten his hair, and murmured: "I should have followed God's will to give you my life span, and I will pay off the debt this time."
[This is the turning point]
The second shot ended up missing anything.
Xie Liang felt dizzy for a while, and was thrown onto someone's back like a burden. Shen Huaishan's clothes were wrapped in the wind, leading him through the layers of branches and leaves coming towards him.
Shen Huaishan said: "Did you do such a stupid thing, did you have unspeakable feelings for that animal?"
"..."
Xie Liang said, "That's not the case."
[Old friend]
The sky was about to dawn, and the forest gradually became brighter, and the figures of the two fleeing could no longer hide. The pursuers were exhausted and out of breath, Shen Huaishan also suffered several injuries, his feet became slower and slower, and finally stopped.
Xie Liang struggled off his back and fell to the ground. The wound on his waist was stained with blood, and he said precariously, "Senior, neither of us can escape like this. I pay my life to pay off my debt. You really don't have to put your life on it..."
Shen Huaishan said: "My life should have been paid back long ago."
Xie Liang asked blankly, "To whom?"
Shen Huaishan said: "A little boy."
"..."
Shen Huaishan said: "He has a pretty face, and his martial arts are not as good as mine, but he knows a little bit better than me. He told me to hang out with him, so I am willing to be an unknown person by his side. But I always quarrel with him, I had a falling out while running darts, so we parted ways with him."
At the juncture of life and death, Shen Huaishan started to talk more, and said intermittently: "In the end, I remembered the wrong direction, and I was sleepy for three days before I found the way. Then I realized that he encountered a landslide in order to find me."
Xie Liangruo realized something, but he heard the noise of footsteps, and the pursuers finally surrounded him, with hatred and bloodlust shining in their eyes. The ammunition was exhausted, and they drew their swords one after another, their blades glowing with a poisonous green.
Shen Huaishan put his palm on Xie Liang's vest, gave him a burst of true energy, and said softly: "I can't help but think, if I chose the right path at that time, even if I can't save him in time, at least..."
The chasing soldier who was in the lead shouted and rushed over with his sword raised.
Shen Huaishan said: "At least one thing can be told to him."
Shen Huaishan pushed Xie Liang, Xie Liang slipped and staggered a few steps, and suddenly found that the two had already reached the foot of the mountain without knowing it.
Shen Huaishan turned his back and said calmly: "Go find the wolf. After you find it, ride away on the wolf."
The pursuers swarmed up, seeing the blood-sealed poisonous knives stabbing at Shen Huaishan one after another. Xie Liang quickly drew his sword and threw it at Shen Huaishan, saying, "Senior!"
Shen Huaishan caught the long sword and shouted: "Get out of here."
[Descent]
With tears in his eyes, Xie Liang staggered, turned around and ran, his leg was re-opened and dragged out a bloody path, he was tripped by a tree root suddenly, and rolled down the hillside.
Xie Liang reluctantly stood up and saw a pair of horseshoes on the ground in front of him.
Xie Liang's gaze moved upwards slowly, and there was a familiar face of a horse.
The horse's hoof stroked the ground a few times, drawing a "Fan" character.
[horse]
Shen Huaishan was wounded, and fearing that the poison blade would not be able to use all his strength, he relied on his obsession to stop the pursuers, but he was at the end of his strength. Suddenly he heard the familiar sound of horseshoes, and when he looked back, his expression for a moment was as if he had seen a ghost.
Xie Liang said: "It's too late to explain, get on the horse."
"..."
At this time, the sky was getting white, and the two rode together and galloped towards the sunrise.
Xie Liang felt cold all over due to blood loss, and his consciousness was slowly drifting away. Suddenly, Shen Huaishan said: "There is a group of people rushing forward."
Xie Liang was startled, he thought he was caught in a pincer attack, and today he was finally about to die here, but he saw that the group of people in front bypassed the two of them without hesitation, and went straight to the pursuers behind them, and their swords met for a moment.
Xie Liang opened his eyes wide and saw the person coming, heaved a sigh of relief, choked up and said, "Leader Lin!"
[Lin Kai]
Lin Kai said with his hands behind his back: "Don't kill the captives, take them away for backup. Come and take care of the wounded."
At that moment, someone came to help the two of them onto the stretcher and carried them to treat the wound.
Xie Liang hurriedly said: "Leader Lin, someone blew up the inn last night, the host..." He didn't know what to say, but when he saw the figure beside Lin Kai, he stopped suddenly.
[Landlord]
The landlord said: "Ah... sorry, it seems that I blew it up."
[Xie Liang]
Xie Liang stared blankly for a moment with his mouth open, silently looking at Lin Kai.
Lin Kai said with a sneer: "It's all because the letter was intercepted, so I didn't get along well. Thank you brother for being wronged again."
[Landlord]
The host said: "To put it simply, as a time traveler, I don't do anything. The emperor sees that I am getting more and more unhappy. I also know that there will be changes sooner or later, so I sent Yunqi to the Wulin League in advance, and I am also thinking about ways to escape. The emperor He asked me to come to negotiate, but blocked my intelligence network in Zhancheng. I kept an eye out, and sure enough, I found poison from the officers and soldiers he sent to monitor me."
"..."
The landlord said: "Most likely the emperor planned to poison me and the representatives of the Pioneering Group to death. It is a double-edged sword. I used my plan and blew up the inn on the eve of the negotiation, trying to fake my death. I was hiding not far from the ruins when the incident happened. I wanted to sneak away, but I heard you calling my name, and then I saw a group of traversers chasing you and running away..."
"..."
The host said: "I guess you might be sent by Lin Kai to save me, so I followed secretly to find a chance to help, but I ran into a wolf crawling out of the carriage, stopped me and began to write with its paws without saying a word, scaring me half dead."
"..."
The host said: "Brother Fan and I discussed that the troops should be divided into two groups. I asked Lin Kai to rescue the soldiers, and he went into the mountains to find you. The soles of my shoes were worn out by running all the way. I thought you were in danger..."
"..."
The landlord coughed dryly and said: "In short, I am wronged and thank you brother again."
[horse]
Xie Liang turned to the horse and said, "How did you become a horse?"
The horse spent some time digging the tunnel and said: "I heard your cry, so I ran down the mountain, and saw the dead body of the horse halfway, thinking that this thing is convenient for running..."
Xie Liang quickly stopped his hoof, and took a peek at Shen Huaishan.
[Shen Huaishan]
Shen Huaishan was looking at the sky.
[Three days later]
The headquarters of the Wulin League has lush forests and bamboos, pavilions and pavilions, embellishing the scenery of a paradise, but the people sitting in the pavilions are talking about the world.
Lin Kai picked up a melon from the fruit plate and cut it open, gnawing on it, said: "The emperor's ruthless action is considered to have cut off the last chance of peace talks with the Pioneering Group."
The landlord said: "You really came here for the peace talks when you became the Pioneering Group? King Yu hated the Emperor to the bone, and now he is the master behind the Pioneering Group. I'm afraid I can't wait to enter the imperial city tomorrow."
Lin laughed and said: "You bombed, both sides will say that the other party did it, which just gave them a reason to start a war."
The landlord leaned on the chair like a boneless one, and lazily said: "If you don't give me an excuse, they will find it themselves. Those grandchildren even made guns, but they refused to build even a steam engine. Do you know the reason? "
"..."
The landlord said: "Because they don't want to see social changes and privileges left behind, they just want to live in the palace by themselves. Human nature has always been like this, but these people are more dangerous. After all... knowledge is power."
Lin Kaidao: "Although I don't know what you are talking about, but it seems very scary."
"..."
The landlord said: "Don't pretend."
[Leader]
The landlord said: "A fierce battle cannot be avoided, what are your plans?"
Lin Kai gnawed on a melon and said, "I've always been a melon eater. What's your plan?"
The host smiled and said, "Me? My family, Yun Qi, got a book last time in the Pioneering Group's lair."
Lin Kai squinted his eyes and looked at him.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and the landlord stretched out his hand and said, "Then share it with me."
[This is the end]
Xie Liang led a horse and stood on the side of the road waiting for a taxi.
[road]
The road is the main road in front of the Wulin League. It is flat and open, and it welcomes and sees off the heroes of the world.
Recently, Lin Kaile, the leader of the martial arts alliance, set up a refugee camp at the foot of the mountain. He not only took in the victims, provided them with porridge and clothes, but also hired them to build a few strange-looking sheds and assemble some unheard of strange equipment every day. It is said that these sheds are called "factories".
The victims got their jobs and worked very hard. The temporary refugee camp at the foot of the mountain gradually developed into a town that had begun to take shape.
[car]
The carriage is a new carriage presented by Lin Kai. Shen Huaishan came by car, saw Xie Liang, smiled and said: "Don't send it off."
Xie Liang said: "Senior, why don't you be a guest for a while, and then leave after recovering from your injuries?"
Shen Huaishan said: "I won't get involved with young people's affairs."
Xie Liang lowered his head and said, "Where are you going?"
Shen Huaishan smiled and said: "I don't know many things. I'm tired of fighting and killing people. The only thing left is to drive a car. Although your lord gave me a new car, but I have to learn to know the way before I can take the order. Right now, I can't do anything. If it can’t be done, I plan to go to sweep a grave.”
Xie Liang pointed to the horse beside him and said, "Fan Aiguo said he wanted to apologize to senior. This horse seems to be very important to senior, so I feel very sorry for taking it up like this."
Shen Huaishan said: "This is an old man's horse. Even though it's dead, it's good to borrow a part of it for you. If you don't mind it before you return to the human body, just use it for a while longer."
[horse]
With tears in his eyes, Ma said, "Hey."
[Shen Huaishan]
Shen Huaishan waved his hand and said, "Take care, I'm leaving first."
Xie Liang stood in place and watched the carriage drift away into the setting sun, dragging a lonely shadow.
[Xie Liang]
Xie Liang and Ma looked at each other, and Ma snorted.
Xie Liang silently reached into his bosom, took out a box, and squeezed out a transparent slug-like bug from it.
Shen Huaishan had just driven for a while, when he suddenly heard the sound of fluttering wings, and the pigeons on the pigeon rack in the car flew out in a hurry.
Shen Huaishan turned his head inexplicably, his eyes followed the pigeon up and down, and finally stopped on Xie Liang's shoulder.
"..."
Xie Liang solemnly tied a note to the pigeon's leg and let it fly back to the carriage.
Xie Liang said: "Master driver, I want to go for a walk, but I happen to have no destination, can I walk with you for a while?"
"..."
Shen Huaishan said: "Then you get in the car."
[Get on the bus · Finish]
