Chapter 5 An Old Wolf
After studying on the big millstone at the entrance of the village for a while, Tianlang gradually lost interest. His husband always talked about the books "Thousand Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", and "Zengguang Xianwen". He had long remembered these books well in his heart and felt that they were not new.
One day at noon, Jinglan came to look for Tianlang again after school and saw Tianlang lying on the millstone and was sleeping heavily. "Hey, boy! I'm lazy today and didn't go to class. I'm so tired from reading your saliva."
"It's boring. The teacher always talks about these things in class, and it's too boring." Tianlang turned over from the millstone and sat up and stretched, saying, "You go to the mountain with me today. The woods in the mountains are fun."
"Okay, okay?" Jinglan jumped up happily when she heard this. Although she grew up in a village by the mountain, she had never climbed the mountain. The old man always said that there were wild animals, monsters and monsters in the mountains, and children could not go there. That mountain was always full of terrifying and mysterious feelings for her.
"Let me do this, I'll go home for dinner first, and then I told my mother to go to the children's house to play, so I can't let them know that they are going to play in the mountains. Let's meet here."
"Yeah, okay" Tianlang nodded, "I'll be waiting for you here."
Just after noon, the sun was high. Tianlang and Jinglan were already walking on the path into the mountain.
It was late spring, and the mountains were full of flowers, birds sing and fragrant, and the beautiful scene was like a beautiful sight. The poplars were blooming, jumping along the way, picking wild flowers and rushing at butterflies, and I was so unhappy.
Walking to a straight tree, Tianlang stopped and said, "There are bird eggs on it, I'll take them down for you."
Jinglan looked up and saw a towering tree that was so big that she couldn't even look at it, let alone see a bird's nest. "Really, how did you know there was a bird's nest on it?"
Before he finished speaking, Tianlang had already climbed the tree with barefoot barefoot and instantly disappeared into the dense branches and leaves. Jinglan was surprised and widened her mouth.
After a while, Tianlang came down from the tree and handed Jinglan the two bird eggs he was holding, "I only took two of them, and I can't take them all. In that case, the bird mother would be angry to death when she came back."
Jinglan took the bird egg and saw it, it was still warm, as big as a small egg. She thought to herself: I didn’t expect this kid to be so good and quite caring.
The two of them walked deeper and deeper in the mountains and forests, and walked into a very dense jungle.
"There are so many trees here." Jinglan ran around the woods, "It's like a maze, it's so fun."
"Let's play hide and seek" Jinglan hid behind a tree and shouted to Tianlang: "Wolf, come and find me!"
Tianlang buried his head, covered his eyes with his hands, and said, "Okay, you hide it quickly, I'll come to you after dozens of times."
But no matter how Jinglan hid her, Tianlang could find her immediately. Qingyang thought to himself that this kid was sharp-eyed and ears would not be able to hide it nearby. Next time I have to run away and hide it.
"It's starting again." Tianlang shouted, and began counting: "One, two, three,..."
When Tianlang heard Jinglan's footsteps go away, he raised his head and thought to himself, how far you can hide this time! Then, he put a piece of grass in his mouth, turned over and lay on the grass, and closed his eyes comfortably.
"Hide it, I'm here." Tianlang lying on the grass and shouted loudly. But he did not hear Jinglan's reply.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide, jumped up from the ground, and called out "Not good!" and ran towards Jinglan.
When Tianlang arrived that day, he saw a group of wolves surrounding the middle of Jinglan, making a bloody mouth, trying to swallow her in one bite.
At this time, on a small tree as thick as a bowl, less than a few feet above the ground, Jinglan was climbing up a branch with both hands while cried and shouting for help! Three wolves below were jumping up under the tree to try to bite her. There were also a large group of wolves behind them surrounding her.
It was said that it was too late, and then Tianlang rushed up quickly, kicked the two wolves away with his feet, stepped forward and held Jinglan's feet with his hands, and raised them up desperately.
At this time, the wolves had already surrounded him, and seven or eight wolves pounced on Tianlang. Tianlang lifted Jinglan up with force while kicking the wolves up with his feet.
Two fists can't beat four hands, let alone a group of wolves. A wolf bit Tianlang's calf with a fierce bit.
"Ao! Woo...!" Suddenly, the injured Tianlang burst out with an inhuman howl, his voice shrill and loud, echoing in the forest. For a moment, the wolves were stunned, at a loss.
At this time, a wolf howl came from not far behind the wolf pack, with a deep and old voice, as if responding to the howl of Tianlang just now.
The wolves suddenly stopped attacking, retreated one after another, dispersing to both sides, and gave way out in the middle. In the distance, an old wolf slowly walked over, looking very old and weak. She stopped, stared at Tianlang, who was standing under the tree, and slowly walked towards him.
The old wolf slowly came to Tianlang and lay his body on the ground, looking very weak, as if he was too tired to stand up again.
Tianlang looked at Lao Lang, and he felt an indescribable warmth and familiarity from Lao Lang's eyes, and there was no trace of fear or fear in his heart. He tried to reach out and touch Lao Lang's head. Lao Lang also raised his head, stretched his head to Tianlang and sniffed it, then slowly buried his head, closed his eyes, and two tears rolled on the grass under him.
After a long time, Tianlang found that Lao Lang was crawling there and no longer moved. He tried Lao Lang's breath with his hands and found that she had stopped breathing.
At this time, a huge gray wolf walked to the old wolf, lowered his head and sniffed it, then raised his head and howled, turned around and ran towards the woods. The group of wolves followed him one after another and disappeared without a trace.
After the wolves disappeared, Tianlang touched the old wolf again and confirmed that the old wolf was dead. At this time, Jinglan came down from the tree and was so surprised that her mouth had not closed. "Wolf boy, you, why did the wolf scream?"
"When I was a child, I would call wolves when I couldn't speak human language, so my parents called me wolf boy." Tianlang pulled off a strip of cloth from his body and wrapped the wound on his leg.
"Is she dead? Did she save us just now?" Jinglan asked as she helped Tianlang to help him with his leg injury while looking at the old wolf lying on the ground.
Tianlang nodded and said, "I think she seems to know me. When I see her, I feel very kind and not afraid at all. It's really strange."
"Then let's bury her, she is our savior."
