In the current environment, the biggest problem is not that the blizzard will not stop, nor that everyone has to take the risk of fighting a bear, but... the little phoenix refuses to let the snow wolf go.
"Chirp!" The fur ball blocked the door, hugged the wolf king's front paws with its short little wings, and looked up at it with its small black eyes.
Liancheng Guyue burst out laughing, and Oliver also felt that it was a bit ridiculous.
The snow wolf lay down and went over to rub against it.
"Chirp!" Furball is very principled.
"Be good, be obedient." Oliver went over to pick up his son, but before he could reach out, the little phoenix squirmed and ran to Snow Wolf's side, hiding himself.
Oliver:...
"It's a pity that it's too windy outside." Liancheng Guyue said, "Otherwise, I would have taken the little thing with me."
The snow wolf picked up the fur ball, turned around and walked into the snow cave, placing it on the bear skin, obviously not intending to take it with him for hunting.
Maoqiu immediately became unhappy and turned around and pointed his bu.tt at it.
The snow wolf turned to face it, its dark green pupils were very gentle.
Maoqiu resolutely closed his round little black eyes.
Snow Wolf stuck out his tongue and licked it gently.
Maoqiu felt his head was wet.
The snow wolf rubbed it with its front paws again, and the fur ball lost its balance and fell on the blanket, looking a little dazed.
"Let's go." Liancheng Guyue said from the side. Although it is interesting to watch the interaction between these two spiritual beasts, after all, business is more important. It is rare that the wind and snow have calmed down now. If it drags on, the situation may be even worse.
The snow wolf growled a few times, pulled a piece of bear skin to cover the little phoenix, and then turned and left the snow cave.
"Chiu!" The fur ball crawled out from the bear skin and flew into its mother's arms, feeling a little aggrieved.
I want to go too!
Oliver patted it soothingly and sighed, "With such a strong snowstorm, I don't know what will happen."
Asher hugged him into his arms, frowning slightly, but didn't say anything.
On the other side, Liancheng Guyue led several secret guards, braved the heavy snow, and trudged forward under the leadership of Snow Wolf. Within a moment, even his eyebrows were covered with snow. But even so, no one raised any doubts or complaints. After all, everyone knew that if they couldn't find food in this situation, they would be dead.
The instinct of survival was more important than anything else, and coupled with the Snow Wolf King's keen sense of smell, after more than two hours, they finally arrived outside a dead forest. Unlike the surrounding ice and snow, dark soil could be vaguely seen in the forest, and it was not completely covered by ice and snow.
"Did a wild beast turn it out?" The secret guard became more energetic.
"It's not just a beast, it's a giant beast." Liancheng Guyue said, "The ice is at least three feet thick. Over the years, it has become as hard as a rock. Even for an adult man, it's not easy to dig it out of the mud. Everyone be careful."
The secret guard nodded and followed him into the woods.
The forest was very large, but since the trees had long since dried up, the view was not blocked too much. After walking for a while, everyone found two rows of huge footprints in the forest.
"It's a bear." Liancheng Guyue squatted down and looked at it for a moment, "and it's not small."
The snow wolf raised its tail and the circle of hair around its neck also stood up.
There were faint rustling sounds of footsteps in the distance. The secret guards stopped tacitly, holding the hilt of the sword tightly with their right hand, ready to fight at any time.
The snow wolf arched its body and growled softly.
The footsteps were getting closer, and the originally blurry huge white shadow was becoming clearer and clearer. After seeing what it was, the secret guards gasped.
No one had ever seen an arctic white bear before. When they bought a cloak for Oliver in Luoxue City, they heard a few words from the owner of the fur shop and thought it was just a larger white bear. However, no one expected that this thing He actually looks so ferocious, with his teeth turned out and his eyes red, like a hellish Shura.
Before everyone had time to sigh "Why is it so ugly", the polar bear roared and rushed over. The secret guard of Sun Moon Villa dodged and shouted, "Be careful of the bear's paw!"
The secret guard of Zhuiying Palace swallowed his saliva, braised well!
The arctic white bear has huge front paws with thick nails, which can easily break a dead tree as thick as a bowl.
The secret guard of Zhuiying Palace said from the bottom of his heart, "It would be a good idea to take it back to chop firewood." It can save a lot of manpower.
Not wanting to listen to their chatter, the secret guard of Sun Moon Villa rushed forward with his sword, stabbing the bear's neck with the three-foot-long blade. He thought that even if he couldn't kill the bear with one blow, he could at least draw some blood. However, even though he used all his strength, the sword was like stabbing the most flexible golden armor. Not only did he fail to injure the polar bear, but he also staggered and almost fell into the snow.
White Bear saw the right moment, jumped up and pressed over him. His huge body was extremely dexterous at this time. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the secret guard of Shadow Chaser Palace jumped up and pulled his friend to safety.
The white bear hit the ground hard, shaking the entire forest. The snow on the dead branches rustled and fell, making the air even colder.
Like white lightning, the Wolf King suddenly jumped over, his sharp teeth stabbed the white bear's eyeball accurately, and a column of black blood rose into the sky, and was instantly frozen into ice.
The white bear screamed, stood up like crazy, slapped its huge front paws aimlessly, and its face was covered with blood, which made people's back numb. The trees were uprooted and then smashed back into the snow. The Wolf King quickly retreated. Liancheng Guyue saw the right moment, jumped up with a sword, and blinded the white bear's other eye.
"Ah!" The blind white bear roared towards the sky, making everyone's ears numb.
"Go!" The secret guards jumped up together, and the sharp swords stabbed into the white bear's mouth from all directions, cutting its throat alive.
The blood dyed half of the snow red. The polar bear struggled for a while and finally died.
The secret guard was panting, and even his back was soaked with sweat.
"Cut the bear meat as quickly as possible and leave here." Liancheng Guyue ordered, "This forest is too big, maybe there are other bears among them." One or two bears wouldn't be a big problem, but if a group came at once, that would be a real headache.
The secret guard's hands and feet were very nimble. In a moment, he cut the bear meat into large pieces and rolled up the bear skin. In the ice and snow, almost in the blink of an eye, the steaming pieces of meat were frozen solid. After being tied up with ropes, each person could carry just two or three pieces.
Although they were exhausted, they still did not dare to slack off. They walked back as fast as possible, leaving the forest far behind.
When the sky was completely dark, I finally vaguely saw the snow cave where I stayed temporarily, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Although this hunting trip was hard, it finally yielded a big harvest and was even considered smooth. With rations, they can persist in the snowy field for a while longer. Thinking of this, everyone speeded up their pace.
"They're back!" Oliver was waiting at the entrance of the cave.
"Sir." The secret guard burst into tears instantly. My wife is so considerate and has been waiting obediently. Of course, it would be better if I could take the opportunity to touch her little hand. I don't know if the palace master is asleep.
The conclusion is that there must be none.
Asher walked out with a fur ball squatting on his shoulder.
The wind and snow rarely stopped temporarily, so the secret guard took some firewood, shoveled away a patch of snow, and built a blazing bonfire. After staying in the snow cave for several days, the group finally had a chance to come out for some air, warmth, and a sip of hot porridge and soup.
The secret guard's eyes sparkled, and he excitedly told everyone about the hunting experience. Maoqiu used his little paws to drag the last bag of beef jerky and placed it in front of the snow wolf with great effort.
The ground was very cold, and the snow wolf laid down and let it jump on him.
"Chirp!" Furball spread out his little wings, his black bean eyes shining brightly.
Oliver said with a smile, "I have been angry all day, but now I am in high spirits."
Asher asked him softly, "Is it cold?"
"It's not cold." Oliver leaned in his arms and looked up at the dark sky.
"When there are stars, we can set off." Liancheng Guyue said, "The starry sky above the snowfield is very beautiful, a view that cannot be seen in the Middle Earth."
"Yeah." Oliver smiled, "We can definitely see it."
Everyone slept more soundly that night. The next morning, Oliver was still dreaming in Asher's arms when he was suddenly awakened by a sound.
"What's wrong?" Oliver rubbed his eyes and sat up in a daze.
"The secret guard and Qian Feng are outside." Asher said, "It seems something happened."
"Something happened?" Oliver was surprised.
"Let's go out and have a look." Asher took a cloak and surrounded him tightly. He also wore a hat on his head. He looked like a small, furry ball, leaving only his eyes. Outside.
If it were any other time, the secret guards would be so adorable seeing their wives dressed like this that they would burst into tears! But this time was an exception. When Asher and Oliver left, everyone gathered under the cliff, seemingly looking at something.
"What's wrong?" Oliver asked.
"Palace Master, Young Master." The secret guards all stood up straight.
"Are you awake?" Shen Qianfeng helped Oliver straighten his collar, then said, "It seems someone has been here."
"What do you mean someone has been here?" Hearing this, not only Oliver was shocked, Asher also frowned slightly.
"The pots and iron racks placed here last night were touched." Shen Qianfeng said.
Oliver took a look and saw that the cooking utensils that had been neatly arranged last night had been turned over and scattered on the ground. The bottom of the cliff faces the direction of the wind, so it is naturally impossible for it to be blown by the wind.
"Could it be a wild beast?" Oliver guessed, "A companion of the Arctic White Bear."
"Impossible." Shen Qianfeng shook his head, "The white bear has a keen sense of smell. If it was really for its companions, those pieces of bear meat would not be safely buried in the snow, and the white bear might even break into the snow cave."
"But how could there be anyone else here besides us?" Oliver really couldn't imagine it.
Shen Qianfeng shook his head, feeling a little hard to explain --- but apart from that, he seemed to be unable to find any other reason to explain the current situation under the cliff.
"Young Master." The secret guard ran over from the other side, "I found footprints not far away. They are indeed human. Young Master Liancheng has already led people to chase them."
"In this icy and snowy place, is it a ghost or a human?" Ye Jin had a headache.
Oliver's back felt numb.
Asher patted him comfortingly and held him in his arms.
"Luckily we have Young Master Liancheng this time." Shen Qianfeng said, "I owe him a favor, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to repay it in a short time."
"It's not easy to repay a favor." Ye Jin said, "I'll get some poison after I get out."
Oliver wondered, "What are you doing with the drug?" Shouldn't he give a tonic to repay his kindness? There is no reason to stun the benefactor.
His sister-in-law's brain circuit is simply weird. If things continue like this, his brother will definitely be castrated one day in the future.
It couldn't be more miserable to think about.
"Who said I was going to be obsessed with Liancheng Guyue." Ye Jin said, "Get some poison and drink Yin Wushuang, put it into a sedan chair and carry it to Changbai Mountain while playing the suona. It's time to pay off the huge favor."
Oliver:...
Asher held back his laughter.
Shen Qianfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You can say this behind their backs, but don't let Young Master Liancheng hear it."
Ye Jin snorted proudly and squatted down to tidy up the messy pots and pans.
A moment later, the secret guards who went to chase people finally came back, their expressions were a little stunned.
"What's wrong?" Oliver waved his hands in front of them, "Did you really see a ghost?" Why do they all look like this?
"It's so scary!" The secret guard of Shadow Palace cried and hugged his friend, "What the hell is this place? My mother, it's so scary."
The secret guard of Riyue Villa suddenly exerted force and ruthlessly threw the Jianghu mascot into the snow.
Why are you pretending? You were clearly enjoying the show just now!
"Have you caught it?" Oliver was confused and asked anxiously.
"We caught him." Liancheng Guyue's voice came from not far away. Everyone looked up and saw him walking towards them with a little bear in his hand.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Oliver looked at the secret guard dumbfounded. I wasn't even afraid.
"No!" The Jianghu mascot burst into tears, "This thing is a human!"
"People?" Oliver was surprised. Liancheng Guyue had also approached at this time. Ye Jin was the first to see clearly and immediately took a breath of cold air.
The "person" in front of him was covered in white hair, even with a thick layer on his face, but his facial features vaguely resembled those of a human, and his limbs also looked like hands and feet.
I had only heard that there were savages in the snowy plains of the Far North before, and I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect that I could actually find them.
Oliver was a little scared at first, but after seeing the look in the wild man's eyes, he didn't seem to be that scared. Looking at the other person's height, he was just a child of seven or eight years old in an ordinary family. His eyes were big and bright, with some grievance and fear in them, and he was trembling slightly.
"Are you hurt?" Ye Jin saw that his arm was bleeding.
"The little guy ran very fast. I didn't see clearly what it was at first and accidentally hurt him." Liancheng Guyue said, "He was not very old and seemed to be frightened."
Ye Jin turned back to the cave, took out the medicine box and bandaged him. The hair around the wound had frozen with the blood, so the secret guard boiled some hot water and used a towel to slowly melt it. Ye Jin shaved off the hair around the wound, making him more certain that it was indeed a person.
"Chirp!" Furball hid behind the direwolf and looked at him with one eye.
The savage sat in the snow, looking at the innocent look of the little Phoenix, and burst out laughing.
When he smiled, the secret guards also found it somewhat funny, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more harmonious.
"Chirp." The fur ball jumped into its mother's arms and continued to look at the savage with its small black eyes open.
"It's done." Ye Jin bandaged his wound. "Judging from the thickness of the bones, he should be a wild child of about ten years old. I just don't know where his family is."
"Can you speak?" Oliver asked him softly.
The wild child whined and made random noises. He could only vaguely make out a few words, but he couldn't tell what they meant.
"What should we do now?" Oliver asked.
"Let it go." Ye Jin said, "Looking at the growth shape of the bones, it should be that he has lived in the snow for generations and has completely adapted to the environment here. There may be family members nearby and he will be anxious if he can't find the child."
The secret guards nodded, stood up and went into the cave, waving goodbye to him in a friendly manner.
The wild kid's eyes were blank, as if he didn't understand why everyone was leaving.
"Chirp!" Maoqiu lay on the snow wolf's back and spread his little wings towards him.
The wild child hesitated and walked over cautiously.
Snow Wolf whined softly, as if warning him to stay away.
The wild child took a few steps back, obviously a little nervous.
"Chuck!" Maoqiu stepped on the wolf king with his paws. Don't be fierce!
Snow Wolf: ...
Oliver looked funny, and Ye Jin also said, "This kid doesn't seem to want to leave."
"Then let him stay." Liancheng Guyue said straightforwardly, "There is plenty of bear meat for now, and he can run very fast in the snow, so maybe he can help."
There was still some bear meat left from last night’s roast. Ye Jin took a piece and walked over to hand it to the wild kid.
The child didn't hesitate for a moment. He took it and devoured it. Ye Jin took the opportunity to look at his teeth and found that they were sharper than those of ordinary humans. This was obviously the result of eating raw meat for a long time in the snowfield.
After eating a large piece of bear meat, the child wiped his mouth, suddenly turned around and ran into the snow pile. He ran so fast that he disappeared from everyone's sight almost instantly.
"Run so fast?" Oliver was shocked.
"Chiu!" Maoqiu also opened his mouth wide like his mother, and it was obvious that the baby was his mother's biological child.
"It runs as fast as a snow wolf." Liancheng Guyue said, "and it's light, no wonder I saw almost no footprints at the bottom of the cliff this morning."
"First it was the polar bears, and now it's the wild men. I wonder if there are other things in this vast snowfield that we haven't seen before." Oliver said, "I always feel that things are not that simple. Sooner or later, there will be other discoveries."
"That's right!" The secret guard's eyes were firm.
"You think so too?" Oliver asked.
"Of course." The secret guard nodded desperately.
As a qualified die-hard fan, even if the lady thinks that there is gold under the snow, we will definitely believe it!
This loyalty is simply touching.
"Go back." Liancheng Guyue said, "It looks like there will be another blizzard. Everyone, save your energy."
Everyone nodded and turned back to the snow cave, but before the snowstorm started, another shout was heard outside.
When I came out, I saw that the wild kid from before ran back again, holding a big vat in his hand.
Oliver wondered, "How did he carry it so big?"
"Of course you can't compare him with ordinary children." Asher led him forward, and the others gathered around the child, not sure what was in the tank.
The wild child's eyes were full of excitement. He took off the seal on the jar and poured a pile of golden corn on the snow.
Ye Jin laughed out loud and reached out to rub his head.
The secret guard was relieved when he saw this. It turned out that he was giving corn to everyone, and he thought a beast would appear!
He actually knows how to repay his kindness... The Jianghu mascot is very sorry. It's a pity that he doesn't have any candy in his pocket, otherwise this child would definitely like it very much.
Although they grew up in the ice field, they are at least human beings, and they can still distinguish the basic emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Seeing that everyone seemed very happy, the wild child also laughed and put the corn back into the big jar and placed it in front of Ye Jin.
"Thank you." Ye Jin was sincere. Naturally, it is impossible for such a ghost place to produce food. He might have taken the risk of secretly collecting this vat of corn from a border village, but now he carried it all and gave it to everyone, which was really a timely help.
The wild child shook his head and waved his hands, mumbling three words. Oliver was surprised and said, "He can understand human words, he said you're welcome!"
The wild child felt even more embarrassed and lowered his head and stamped his feet.
"His ancestors must have been humans, and they probably lived in a border village." Ye Jin said, "Later, for some reason, they were forced to flee to the snowfield. In order to survive, their bodies underwent these changes. And in the far north, they couldn't communicate with people, so they gradually forgot how to speak."
Everyone felt a little heavy when they heard this and felt that the child was a little pitiful.
"We dug an extra snow cave earlier. If he wants to stay, he can live in it." Ye Jin brought the child to the snow cave, and after talking and demonstrating, he finally understood what he meant.
"Is it good?" Ye Jin asked.
The child nodded repeatedly and slipped into the snow hole without being able to scream.
Ye Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Shen Qianfeng hugged his shoulders and said, "Go back. The snow is coming."
Ye Jin glanced at the sky and sighed, "It's so dark, I don't know when it will clear up."
"Good luck will come to you, don't worry." Shen Qianfeng took him back, "Maybe this child is sent by God to help us, do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it." Ye Jin shook his head decisively, not giving him any face as a man.
The secret guard on the side heard this and clicked his tongue. Master Ye Valley is not soft at all. If it were my wife, she would grab the corner of her clothes, tilt her head and say some cute sentences like "Of course I believe it".
It's very unbearable.
The jar of corn was full, and it could be cooked into porridge for a long time. Plus the bear meat that had been hunted earlier, although it was not delicious, it finally didn't make me hungry anymore. After a few days, the wild boy has become familiar with everyone, and he is probably grateful to Ye Jin for helping him heal his injuries, especially sticking to him.
Ye Jin was happy to chat with him when he was bored in the snowfield. The secret guards saw the two of them gesticulating all day long, and they all felt a little puzzled - can they chat like this?
"Can you understand what he said?" Oliver was also confused.
"Otherwise, what do you think I'm doing?" Ye Jin said, "He has no family anymore."
"Is this true?" Oliver didn't believe it, "I was here just now." But he didn't understand a word.
Ye Jin said bluntly, "Because you are too stupid."
Oliver:...
Are you still your sister-in-law?
"His relatives were eaten by the white bear before. He saw Liancheng Guyue killing the white bear in the forest that day, so he followed here." Ye Jin reached out and rubbed the wild child's head. "Luckily you met us. We will take you back to the Central Plains in the future and live a good life!"
Although the wild child didn't understand what he said, he could still see the kindness in his eyes, so he laughed along with his eyes shining.
Oliver also looked at him with a smile.
If he was born in an ordinary family, he would definitely be a lovely child.
