Chapter 22 The Wolf and the Boy
"Ow~"

At the edge of the forest, after the boy's soliloquy, there was a short silence.

And this silence was quickly interrupted by the neighing of a lone wolf.

"A wolf, you are here!"

Hearing the howling of the wolf, the boy showed no fear at all, but instead showed a warm smile, turned around, and looked at a white wolf that was rushing from a distance.

"Woo~"

The white wolf came quickly, and stopped abruptly the moment he rushed in front of the boy, showing the extremely high control over himself in his eyes.

Raising his head, he glanced at the boy who was already taller than himself. The white wolf growled in a low voice, and there seemed to be something called sadness in his eyes.

Seeing such a white wolf, the boy was silent again.

He is an orphan. When he was very young, he was picked up by A Lang, who raised him.

Like him, Ah Lang is a lone wolf, abandoned by his own group and living alone in the world.

He thought, maybe, when Ah Lang picked him up, he was just kicked out of the wolf pack. Seeing him who was also abandoned, he felt sorry for him, so he didn't eat him, but took him in and raised him up. .

Then, in getting along with each other for a long time, one person and one wolf gradually developed feelings.

It is also possible that Ah Lang had just had enough to eat at that time, and seeing that he was not crying or fussing, he thought it was fun, so he was going to raise him for a while before eating him. Whoever thought of raising him, he raised him for seven years.

Who knows?What made him survive from A Lang's mouth is actually not important anymore, and he never wanted to go to investigate.

He only knew that Ah Lang raised him for seven years and took care of him for seven years. He was the closest person in this world to him, closer than his parents who left him in the woods.

just
"A wolf, I have to go!"

After a long silence, the boy looked at the sadness in A Lang's eyes, and said in a tone that didn't match his age.

"Woo~"

The white wolf let out a mournful cry again, as if he had felt it long ago.

Looking at A Lang's appearance, the boy knew that A Lang was trying to keep him, and he was not willing to leave him.

It picked him up, it raised him for seven years, and it loved him as if it were its own child.

Its own child robbed it of its throne and drove it out of the group. He was the only one left of it, and it was not willing to leave him.

The boy knew what the white wolf was thinking. He had been with the white wolf for seven years, and he could understand the meaning of every look, movement, and neighing with different tones and slight changes in tone.

But, understand, he has to be ruthless!

"Alang, you know, I don't belong here after all.

They treated me like a monster, and I hid here for seven years, thinking I could forget about human life.

Until today, until just now, looking at the long sword soaring into the sky, I felt the blood boiling all over my body, and I knew that it was my belief and my destiny.

I must pursue it, and spend my whole life pursuing it! "

Looking at the white wolf with its head down and neighing continuously, the boy's tone was somewhat determined.

After finishing speaking, the boy stopped looking at the white wolf, turned around, and walked towards the distance, in the direction where the young man who was stepping on the sword had just left.

"Woo~"

Just after taking two steps, there was a mournful sound behind him. The boy turned his head and glanced at the white wolf following him.

"Alang, you go back, go back to the place that belongs to you, don't follow me anymore."

Looking at the white wolf with eyes full of sadness, the boy didn't even blink. After speaking, he turned around and continued on his way.

The white wolf no longer neighed, nor did he leave, but followed the boy step by step.

One step, one step, he takes one step, it follows one step at a time.

Swish!
At a certain moment, the white wolf who lowered his head and followed the boy step by step felt a warning sign in his heart, and stopped subconsciously.

The moment it stopped, an invisible sword qi fell half a foot in front of it, leaving a crack on the ground that was three meters long and one foot deep.

"A wolf, go back, go back to the place you should go back to.

You, can't keep up with me. "

The boy turned his head and gave Bai Lang one last look, his tone full of determination.

After speaking, he turned and left. This time, the white wolf was not following.

Looking at the back of the boy who was drifting away, and then leaned down to look at the crack in front of him, it was difficult to move half a step with its raised feet.

It stood there like that, facing the breeze, watching his back completely disappear from its eyes, smelling that he had nowhere to pursue even the smell.

His seven years of teaching had taught him how to hide his aura to survive in the wild beast infested forest, and the first 'beast' he used to avoid was actually himself.

Ridiculous, or sad?
It doesn't know, it just stands there quietly, letting the breeze blow and the green leaves fall.

"Ow~"

After a long, long time, a lonely, heart-piercing cry resounded through the deep forest.

Far away, the boy's footsteps stopped, without turning back, he continued to move forward, walking towards an unknown direction.

After a long, long time, Xu Shi was tired from standing, and Xu Shi knew that he would never be able to wait for the person who had been with him for seven years.

The white wolf turned around and walked towards the depths of the forest.

He's leaving, he's going back, back to the place that belongs to him.

The outside world belongs to those human beings after all, and it spent seven years of affection to raise a human being as well.

Humans and wolves are two completely different groups.

One step, one step, he lost the agility he had when he came, and the speed like the wind.

In fact, he is old, and he is no longer as strong as he used to be.

When it was picked up at the beginning, it was strong and vigorous, able to hold up the sky for him.

Now, it is old, no matter how much it persists, no matter how much it pretends to be in front of him, it still cannot change the fact that he is about to die.

gone!

Let's go!

It's good to go, go, at least you don't have to look at me because I can't run anymore and die in the mouth of a predator.

Don't come back after you leave, go to the world that should belong to you!

The white wolf walked alone, just like the day when it was betrayed by its own children and driven out of the whole group.

It's just that at that time, it picked up a child, making it no longer lonely in this world.

But this time, it is destined to be left alone, alone, walking towards the place where it should go.

It is really old. When it picked him up, it had already eaten the peaches on the top of the mountain eight times. Now, it has been accompanied by seven heavy snowfalls with him, and it is the season when I snuggle up with him to keep him warm.

Now it is really hard to hold on anymore.

As soon as the breath in his heart dissipated, its footsteps became slower and slower, and its figure became more and more desolate.

It walked towards the inside step by step, walking, walking.

This walk takes most of the day.

It went to the place where he was picked up, went to the big tree that he fell for the first time when he was a child, went to the skill he didn't know where he learned, the first time he wove a wreath for himself and wore it around his neck. flowers.

It has gone to many places, and every place has his memories.

go!Turn it!

Walking, turning and turning, it gets tired, and it is so tired that it can no longer walk.

It lay on the ground, with smiles and sadness in its eyes.

In a trance, it remembered this place.

Once, it had been here, with him.

At that time, it should be five years old, picking up his second hot season.

At that time, they also came here, and they walked together for a long time. When they got here, he was tired, fell on the ground, rolled around, and couldn't get up.

It picked him up, carried him on his back, and carried him away. He rolled off his body, still rolling around.

What did she say then?It can't speak, but the tone of that sentence, it always remembers.

He said, "Ah Lang, you are always carrying me on your back. You are tired too. Let's rest here before we go."

Well, let's take a rest!
It was thinking, thinking, closed its eyes, and there seemed to be a human-like smile on its face.

It fell asleep, and after this sleep, it never woke up again. When it fell asleep, it seemed to be a very happy dream, with a smile on its face.

It is a lone wolf, born lonely, growing up lonely, wandering lonely, and loneliness gives it strength.

Therefore, when it leaves, it is doomed to be lonely!

But in the forest, death is never the end.

In the distance, a boa constrictor poked its head out from the grass, first circled the white wolf in the distance.

After a few times of probing, and seeing that the white wolf was really silent, it spit out a message and crawled towards the white wolf.

Climbing to the side of the white wolf, the snake's head opened a terrifying arc, and devoured the white wolf.

Swish!
The head of the boa constrictor fell!
Blood gushed out from the head of the snake and the body of the severed snake that was still stirring, staining the surrounding land red.

Hey!
Da da!

A young figure walked out from behind a big tree, ignoring the death python, step by step towards the white wolf lying peacefully on the ground.

"A wolf, are you disappointed in me?"

Looking at the white wolf with a serene face and closed eyes that could no longer be opened, the boy murmured softly, as if he was asking or talking to himself.

As he said that, he waved his hands repeatedly to the open space on one side, and sword qi streaked across, and soon a large pit with a radius of two meters and a diameter of nearly one meter appeared on the ground.

The boy bent down, supported the white wolf's body with both hands, and gently placed the white wolf's body in the deep pit.

Kneeling on the ground, he scattered the surrounding loess with handfuls of hands.

He doesn't want to, he doesn't want to.

But he knew that the wolf was really old, and the old man's ability to hunt prey began to decline.

He knew that at A Lang's age, he should have died a long time ago. The current A Lang is just holding on.

It didn't want to become a lonely person by itself, so when its life was exhausted and its body was old and out of shape, it still forced itself to pretend to be strong and insisted on being by its side.

He didn't know what kind of pain it had to endure every day, he only knew that that kind of pain was something he didn't want to see.

Burying the loess bit by bit, the boy was talking to himself, as if he was confiding to the white wolf.

"Alang, you can see, I have been able to control these sword qi a long time ago, and no one will treat me as a monster in the future."

"Alang, do you know? My decision is all a lie to you. I don't want to see you persevere in pain.

But when I saw the long sword soaring into the sky, the blood in my body was racing, it was true. "

"A wolf, you and I are both lonely. I know that the wolf itself is lonely, and I am also lonely."

"A wolf, I don't remember my name, I don't remember my surname, but I know that to survive in the human world, I always need a name."

"Alang, we are all born lonely, do you think it's okay for me to be called Dugu from now on?"

"A wolf."

The boy was talking to himself in front of the mound he had piled up, for a long, long time.

After a long time, there was no boy in front of the mound, only a grave and a tombstone remained.

On it, a few crooked characters are carved with sword energy.

"Dead mother, the tomb of the white wolf!"
