Chapter 47 Fighting Against the Wolves
2073 Words
In the cave.
Gu Yunxi noticed the danger and turned aside to escape the attack. But this violent movement immediately brought a sharp pain to her body.
"Ah!"
She knelt on the ground and panted before rushing out with a short knife and the flints.
Now it was completely dark outside the cave. The cold night wind was blowing with a smell of rottenness.
The white deer was standing at the mouth of the cave with its head still, its ears flicking and its eyes turning. It seemed that it was vigilant and its white fur was particularly eye-catching in the night.
Gu Yunxi was nervous and knew it clear that there would be beasts in the wild at night.
Pairs of dark green eyes were approaching, like clusters of ghost fire floating in the air at dark nights.
Gu Yunxi encountered the dangerous situation for the first time, which caused her trembling violently with fear.
Zhao Wuji, the third captain of the Eastern Depot, once told her common sense about the field camp. Now she took a few breaths and forced herself to calm down.
By dint of the light of the flints, Gu Yunxi saw more than a dozen coyotes not far, which were squatting or prostrating. They were staring at Gu Yunxi and the white deer, showing their sharp fangs.
Gu Yunxi closed her lips tightly to avoid biting her teeth from trembling.
At this moment, she extremely desired to survive.
She wanted to survive, saw the Master, and brought him the silver antlers.
Gu Yunxi threw the flints on the ground, which set fire on the ground immediately. At the same time, she stared straight ahead, holding the whip in one hand and the short knife in the other.
The wolves were afraid of fire, and the red light daunted them. They wandered back and forth with deep growls.
The white deer was the first to get agitated. It bypassed the bonfire and tried to flee into the woods. The two coyotes rushed out, surrounded the white deer into the corner, and pounced on it. Its skin was scratched by the sharp wolf claws, and the white deer screamed in pain with its hind feet kicking away a coyote. The deer lowered its head again, aimed at another coyote with its tough antlers, and knocked it down.
Noticing the flaws in the perfect deerskin, Gu Yunxi stood anxiously behind the bonfire.
She thought, "I will not allow the deer to be captured by the coyotes. If they devour the white deer, what can I offer to the Master when I come back? Maybe they will eat me after eating the deer!"
A few wolves jumped out and attacked the white deer. At the same time, Gu Yunxi jumped out from the bonfire with the whip in her left hand and a short knife in her right hand.
A coyote across the bonfire raised its head and let out a long roar. Another two coyotes behind it jumped up and ran straight to Gu Yunxi.
Gu Yunxi decided to have a try.
She had to deal with the wolves alone. The silver antlers could not be destroyed by them!
When the two evil wolves came towards her, she suddenly bent her legs while running and leaned forward to slide under the jumping coyotes.
There was a cold light under the belly of the wolf. The coyote fell to the ground, convulsed, and let out the incessant whine. There was a thick smell of blood in the air.
The white deer over there had been knocked down by the coyotes. Several gray coyotes and the white deer rolled on the grass, and the deer was bitten by the coyotes.
The deer straightened its neck and let out a whine. The blood spurted from its throat and spilled on the ground, which was conspicuous.
In the cold night, the b****y air became thicker.
The shocking scene at the moment made Gu Yunxi's eyes tremble. She felt turbid waves rolling in her stomach and the sour water rushed out.
She bent down and felt the universe was twirling. At this moment, she was on the verge of fainting because of blood phobia.
Before vomiting, She slammed her whip and dispersed the coyotes that were violently biting the white deer with the gastric juice still hanging in her mouth and nostrils.
One coyote that hit Gu Yunxi just now with its companion tilted his tail and rushed to Gu Yunxi like an arrow. Gu Yunxi was knocked down by it. The pupils of the coyote were narrowed into two thin lines with the flame of revenge burning inside. It had bitten her wrist mercilessly and pulled her violently.
Gu Yunxi screamed in pain and threw away her short knife.
Another coyote bit Gu Yunxi's right leg unexpectedly, and pulled hard with its companion, hoping to kill her immediately.
With a snapping sound, the coyote let go of Gu Yunxi's leg and rolled on the ground with pain.
Gu Yunxi quickly slammed another wolf with the handle of the horsewhip. It immediately howled, loosened Gu Yunxi's wrist, and swiftly turned away.
Two or three wolves continued to siege. Gu Yunxi shouted and used the whip and her fist to protect herself. There were many claw marks on her body.
She didn't care whether her clothes were torn or not. And she didn't care that she was under extreme pain. She just wanted to survive, and there were people that she still wanted to meet.
The leading coyote rushed to Gu Yunxi like lightning. It was obviously much stronger and extremely powerful. It knocked Gu Yunxi out a few meters away, and she almost fell into the fire.
Gu Yunxi was entangled with it, clenching her fists and slamming its head. During the fight, she grabbed a stone and smashed its eyes. With a whimper, its head was b****y, and Gu Yunxi's clothes were riven by its sharp claws. Half of her arm was wrapped by the blood, and the blood spilled on the ground.
Other coyotes jumped and tended to have a try with the muffled growl tumbling in their throat. It seemed that they were cheering for their leader.
Gu Yunxi slapped the wolf with the horsewhip and struggled desperately. Finally she got rid of the claws of the wolf.
The wolf was stunned by her slaps and shook its head hard. It was about to pounce on Gu Yunxi again with its fangs when a fire arrow shot its head.
It straightened its neck and stuck its red tongue. It seemed that the wailing was stuck in its throat, and then it fell to the ground without a sound.
It was boisterous and the voices of people came from all directions. The earth was shaking.
The situation was not good. The living coyotes gave up the prey and fled in haste with their agile figures disappearing in the woods.
Gu Yunxi stood up among the fire, staring at the fire surrounding her.
She felt sore and the pain was tearing every inch of her skin and nerves. The blue figure that was running towards her became more and more blurred.
...
Gu Yunxi felt very stuffy and opened her eyes. She saw that the coyote which was hit by arrows was still alive and pressed on her body with two front paws holding her wrists. Noticing that she woke up, it opened its big mouth, and the hot saliva dripped on her small, frightened face.
The wolf seemed to be bewitched and grinned at her like a human. Then it scratched Gu Yunxi's upper body frantically and tore her clothes into shreds with its sharp claws.
Suddenly, the coyote turned into Ming Lan, and he bullied Gu Yunxi with evil eyes looking straight at her and let out a gruesome laugh.
"No!"
Gu Yunxi screamed and woke up, jumping from the bed. When she saw the figure wearing a cap embroidered with gold threads, she looked pale, panicked into the corner in horror and kept shouting,
"No! Go away!"
"Yunxi... it's me..."
Both the voice and the cold fragrance were familiar.
Gu Yunxi woke up completely.
"Master!"
Tears ran out of her eyes. She embraced Leng Qingtang, sobbing, and then cried out loud.
The Master embraced her but did not dare to hold her tightly because he was afraid that it would make her suffer again.
The little girl was so soft. It was hard for him to regard her as the same person who fought bravely with hungry wolves in front of the cave under the cliff that night.
At that time, what gave her courage and strength to wait for him to bring the guards to rescue her?
Seeing that she was crying and trembling in his chest, Leng Qingtang felt grieved and was also on the verge of weeping. It seemed that she had turned into the poor little girl again.
"Girl, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I didn't take care of you and make you lose your way."
Leng Qingtang continued to blame himself. The b****y scene still scared him a lot. She shed a lot of blood, and she was haggard and in a trance. When she fell in front of him, he was heartbroken.
The cry in his arms came to an abrupt end, and Gu Yunxi looked up at the Master with tears in her eyes,
"Silver antlers... Master, have you ever found that white deer? I found it for you!"
Leng Qingtang's soft and warm fingers touched Gu Yunxi's wet face. He wiped her tears, smiled, and comforted her,
"Be assured. I have submitted it to his Majesty, and he announced that the Eastern Depot is the winner of the hunting competition and rewarded you one thousand pieces of gold."
"Really? I have made a fortune!"
Gu Yunxi was overjoyed and excitedly broke out of the arms of the Master. Unexpectedly, her movements triggered the wound on her body, and her face was distorted by pain.
Leng Qingtang gently put her back to the bed and covered her with a quilt. He said with a soft voice,
"Don't move. You are still having a fever and have been sleeping for two days. It's still early. Have more sleep. Later, I will ask Qinger to bring dinner here."
Gu Yunxi thought of something again and asked anxiously, "Master, bring me the mirror, and I want to see whether my face is ruined!"
Leng Qingtang smiled bitterly, turning his head against her,
"Be assured. You are so beautiful! Even if you become an ugly girl, I still like you."
Gu Yunxi turned shy and pouted,
"If I really become ugly, even if you like me, I won't like myself."
"Girl, how could you fall from such a high cliff? If Red Smoke hadn't led us there, it would be hard for us to find you even now!"
Leng Qingtang had been puzzled for a long time. Now that Gu Yunxi was awake, he couldn't wait to know the truth.
"I..." Gu Yunxi looked gloomy. It seemed that she hadn't come out of the shadow of that adventure. After hesitating for a while, she continued to say to the Master, "I jumped. Nobody pushed me down."
"Why?" He was puzzled.
"Lord Ming instructed the eunuchs to cajole me to go there and he." Seeing that the expression of Leng Qingtang changed from confusion to anger, Gu Yunxi did not dare to continue. She paused and said,
"Later, I rode on the Red Smoke to escape, and he sent guards in the Western Depot to chase after me. There was no way ahead. I didn't want to be caught back. I was afraid he would use me to threaten you so I jumped off the cliff."
Gu Yunxi was lying on the bed, looking up at the changing expression of Master. Her eyes were filled with the mist, which was so attractive.
She instantly grabbed the big hand of Leng Qingtang with excitement and proudly said,
"Master, I win the bet! I'm still alive and come back to see you!"
"Silly girl!"
Leng Qingtang was stunned, and his nose fluttered when he looked at her. He responded with a deep voice, holding her small hand in his palm.
An angry flame was nearly bursting out from his chest, and he thought,
"The Western Depot... Ming Lan, it's you again!"
