Chapter 4 Night

He kept running at night, ignored the dying struggles behind him, and those miserable calls gradually lowered so low that they could not be heard. When he could no longer run and finally stopped, he dared to look back. Behind him was a strange wilderness, and there was only the sound of wind in his ears. His mother's gentle voice, which had sung a lullaby for him, would never be heard again no matter how hard he tried.

I don't know where his shoes have been. His small feet were grinding painfully by gravel, and he stepped on a small red footprint on the ground.

He inhaled gently and moved forward step by step. At this time, the morning light had sprinkled a faint color on the land, and there was light around it. Then he saw that there was actually a small lake not far away.

He was overjoyed, endured the pain and accelerated his pace. He squatted on the ground without walking two steps. Although his family is poor, he has grown up so much. Because he is an only son, he has never suffered so much. He sat on the ground with his injured foot in his arms and finally cried.

It's just a six or seven-year-old child. It's too difficult for him to bear these.

He was sad and angry in his heart. As soon as the tears opened, it was not so easy to close them. Anyway, there was no one around. He cried dimly, as if to reveal all the grievances in his cavity, until a soft touch hit his feet.

When he raised his head at night, he saw a small gray animal sticking out his bright red tongue and gently licking his injured feet.

He was shocked and shrank back. The animal raised its head, slightly bigger than a dog and looked like a dog, but where did the dog come from in this vast wilderness? Yelai didn't know it anymore. At this time, he also recognized that what was in front of him was a living wolf cub.

He was alert and looked around, but did not see any other wolves. And the little wolf's eyes are not as gloomy as his father once said to him. On the contrary, he is really a little naive. His dark eyes looked at him, and his hairy head rubbed against his legs, making him itchy at night.

"Are you alone?" Yelai couldn't help stretching out his hand to it. The wolf cub was not afraid of life at all and immediately came over.

"Then will you follow me in the future?" The wolf cub can't understand people's words, but he has never left him since then.

At night, his thoughts were interrupted by a familiar touch. I don't know when a big wolf appeared beside him. Seeing that he was only thinking about himself for a long time, he finally couldn't help licking his hand with his tongue. In fact, the wolf is arrogant, and it rarely does such a thing when it grows up.

The night came and laughed, "Hray wind, it's so late. Why don't you sleep well and come to me?"

Huifeng stood beside him, his body was very old, his skin was smooth, and a pair of wolves' eyes were shining, like two glazed beads at night. It had been connected with Yelai for a long time. Seeing that he finally paid attention to himself, he lay at his feet.

Ye Lai reached out and stroked the long hair on its back, and thought that on the day he first met Wei Jia, there was only one wolf beside him. He could no longer remember how he and Huifeng lived those days without food and clothing. At that time, Huifeng was far less handsome than now. He was just a smelly child wandering in the vast wilderness and was not sacrificed by a bigger beast, which was really blessed by God. If they hadn't met Wei Jia, maybe until now, they would still live that kind of life, or they would have died long ago.

When he met Wei Jia, he had been dependent on the gray wind for several months. The winter on the border came early, and his thin clothes could not resist the strong wind. Maybe in a few days, he would freeze to death. That day, he was snuggling with the gray wind to protect against the cold, and he saw a gust of smoke from afar. He recognized that it was the wind and smoke of the army's horseshoe, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly. For a moment, his hands and feet stiffened, and he even forgot to avoid it. He didn't know when Wei Jia came to him.

"What's your name?" The female voice is not as gentle as her mother, nor as delicate as Sister Chunzhi, but there is a kind of quiet tenacity, which makes people calm down.

"Come at night." He raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him. She looked at the girl who was not very old. She was 17 or 18 years old. Her skin was not very greasy and white, and she did not wear any extra jewelry on her black hair. She was only tied with a silver hairband, tied to her forehead of the same color, and decorated with a bright bead on her head. He has never seen such a big pearl. Usually, the jewelry of women in the village is only inlaid with a few rice beads, which is already the daughter of a rich family.

Look at her, she also wears a full set of armor like the men behind her, but the production is much more exquisite, snow-white and shiny, and also has the patterns of cold plums. He was wearing a big purple fox cloak, and his golden-hooked deerskin boots, and his waist shone with weapons he had never seen in the sun without temperature. His eyes were almost straight. The handle was held in the woman's hand, and there were all kinds of gems on it. He couldn't name it, but he knew that it must be very valuable.

While he was stunned at night, Wei Jia was also looking at him up and down. The child in front of him was very thin, ragged, and his hair was long and dirty, all entangled together. His face was black, and he couldn't see what he looked like. He couldn't even live with a dog.

No, that's not a dog!

"Is this wolf yours?" Wei Jia squatted down and stared into the eyes of the night. The night came and nodded.

Wei Jia stood up and said, "Brother Zheng Chu, take this child back to the camp!"

Zheng Chu was still a twenty-five-year-old young man at that time. He was a general of Weifu. He had not been to the border for a long time and was still in the test period of Wei Ye. There was nothing to do with military affairs, so he had to follow Wei Jia first. Although Wei Jia is a female streamer, she is really not a newcomer in the "Wei Family Army". She is decisive and brave, and her soldiers are convinced of her. Zheng Chu listened to her instructions and came over to take the night to the horse.

I came to earn money at night, "I want to bring gray wind!"

Wei Jia smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person? Don't ask where I'm going to take you?"

Night shook his head, "No matter who you are, no matter where you take me, I will bring the gray wind!"

Wei Jia smiled again. She was used to being heroic, but such a smile was gentle and charming. The ladies of Qiongjiang, who were not inferior to the self-respecting beauty, were stunned by the soldiers behind her.

"Then take it with you!" She waved her hand casually and looked at Huifeng again, "Brother Zheng Chu, give him a horse alone and let him be with his wolf."

Zheng Chu looked at the night and said, "Kid, give you a horse? Can you ride it?"

How can you admit that you won't? He blocked his neck and blushed and lied, "Of course!"

Wei Jia covered her lips and smiled, "Okay, since you can ride, bring the jujube red horse here. I watch him ride."

Zheng Chu and others all know that Miss Wei has become playful. She is just a girl. Although she is old, she still has some unstained innocence, so they laugh one after another. The jujube red horse has long been led by good people.

When I came to see myself riding a tiger at night, I had to bravely get on the horse. Unexpectedly, although the jujube red horse looks small, it is fierce. Generally, except for Wei Jia to tame it, others have to be turned upside down by it. Children like Yelai are even more crazy to ride it back to the camp.

Ye came to see everyone smile, and also had a competitive mind. He held his breath and didn't want to make people look down on himself. He learned from the adults in the village. First, he pressed the saddle with one hand and stepped up on one leg. Then just as he was about to sit down, the jujube red horse had already smelled the breath of strangers and began to attack.

Yelai didn't know how he was thrown out by this crazy horse. His brain was blank for a moment, and only one idea flashed by. Now he is really dead!

He thought that he would fall to the ground, fall his head and burst his blood. If he was even more unlucky, he would directly touch the ground. He couldn't help closing his eyes tightly, and he could hear the cry of the gray wind in his ear.

Unfortunately, Huifeng is just a wolf cub, and he can't come to save him. It's hard to escape, is it going to die like this again?

After a long time, the expected severe pain did not come. Yelai carefully opened his eyes and came to meet Wei Jia's heroic and soft beauty face. There was a joking smile in her phoenix's eyes, "If you can't do it, don't be hard-mouthed, and you will be punished!"

She withdrew her arms and threw Yelai on the ground. "This is the first lesson to enter my 'Wei Army'. You still have a lot to learn in the future. Why don't you get up and go back with everyone? Do you want to stay here to wait for the Spring Festival?"
