After crossing, start from the courtyard

Chapter 173 Chapter 164 Lone Wolf

After driving for about a few hours, the sky was completely dark, and a few howling wolves could be heard on the side of the road from time to time.

The driver has been driving slower and slower, but his heart is burning like a fire.

"Boy, what's your name?"

The old lady looked at He Yu, she didn't want to owe anything to others, so she wanted to know the young man's name, so she could pay him the money when the time came.

"You can just call me Xiaoyu, old lady, the car shakes while you hold on to the chair."

The old lady looked out the window into the darkness with hollow and lifeless eyes, and even the howling of wolves from the mountains did not make the old lady's eyes ripple at all.

I don't know how long it took, after bumping all the way, I finally saw lights, which were scattered candles in the small town.

"It's just ahead."

The driver said indifferently, and then drove to the small town. In the dim light, he saw a familiar figure, that was his wife, but there were no children beside him.

The man had a premonition that something had happened, he quickly parked the car, opened the door and rushed out, picked up the woman and started crying.

Still choked up in his mouth, "Our child is gone, gone..."

The woman couldn't hear what the man was saying, so she cried, "Our pig shed was burned."

The man was taken aback, pushed the woman away gently, and looked at her suspiciously, "Ah? It's just that the pig shed was burned?"

The woman looked at the man in surprise, and couldn't help but kicked, "You stinky man, you are so happy that the pig shed was burned!"

The man was not only happy, but also hugged the woman up, "Great, great, as long as you are fine!"

If people who don't know the situation think that this man is crazy, and he is so happy that his pig shed was burned, it is really a big deal.

"What's the matter with you? Our pig shed was burned, and you're still so happy!"

The man was not only happy, but also jumped up happily, "The pig shed or something, we can still build it if it's gone. By the way, is the fire at home extinguished? Are you not injured? Is our son not injured?"

"It's not injured, it's okay, but one pig got burned a little bit, it's really distressing! This pig hasn't grown up yet, if it becomes an adult pig, it will be worth a lot of money."

"It's okay, I'll buy a few more piglets when I make money, and we'll eat pork when they grow up!"

"Okay, let's go back first!" The woman looked at her man helplessly, her pig shed was burned, and she was so happy.

"How can I be unhappy? By the way, wait for me! You give me this candle first!"

The woman handed the candle to her husband suspiciously, only to see the man walking towards He Yu and handing the candle to He Yu.

"Young man, are you going to Wangjiagou, right? I can't take you on this road, and the car can't drive in. I have a candle here, I hope it can help you! But I still have a good word of advice, or you can understand Hurry up again."

He Yu glanced at the old lady next to her. The old lady didn't speak, and He Yu was also silent.

Seeing this, the man thought that the young man was determined to leave, "Here, I can only help you so far, and I don't need to pay for the fare! I'm in a good mood today!"

He Yu really admired him, this man can really think about it.

"Then thank you very much! I have the opportunity to visit again some other day! Thank you very much for giving us a ride! You will not be rewarded for nothing, and I will remember your kindness in my heart." He Yu patted his chest and said firmly.

The man glanced at He Yu again, and said softly, "Protect the women around you, as well as the old lady."

After speaking, the man turned around and left, and he and his wife rushed towards the house slowly.

He Yuxin glanced at the direction they were going away.

"It seems that there is nothing wrong, let's send the old lady home first!"

"Xiaoyu, just stick to Wangjiagou. I know the way back, so I won't bother you two!"

Not only He Yu wouldn't be relieved, but Xiao Ling wouldn't be relieved either. It was already completely dark, and I couldn't bear to let an old lady walk home by herself.

"I have walked a lot today, and it doesn't matter if I walk a little more, old lady."

He Yu took the initiative to support the old lady, no matter how hard the old lady tried to persuade her, it was useless.

He Yuti was determined to send someone home, how could he let an old lady go home alone in the middle of the night.

Because He Yu supported the old lady, Xiao Ling came to take the candle, but this night, Xiao Ling was afraid, so He Yu asked her to hold the old lady with the other hand.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling seemed to be a little scared, so He Yu chatted with Xiao Ling while walking, hoping to distract her attention and reduce her sense of fear.

"Old lady, are you the only one left at home now?"

The old lady nodded, "The old man left early, my grandson, I dragged him up."

In rural areas, empty-nest elderly are very common, especially in the mountains, where everyone yearns to get out of the mountains. After many young people go out, they never come back, leaving behind old people and young children.

Just like Mei Sanniang, she should have lived a happy life, but she abandoned her for her husband, leaving behind a young child and an old man.

This can't be blamed on Mei Sanniang, it can't be blamed that she doesn't have the courage to live.

"Old lady, do you know Mei Sanniang? It's the Mei Sanniang from our village!"

"Mei Sanniang, I've heard of it, of course I've heard of it! At that time Mei Sanniang first came to your Longfeng Village, she was one of the most beautiful women, but later, fate was rough, God's will tricked people, and made people crazy. "

It seems that the old lady also knows about Mei Sanniang. He Yu said, "We are not from Longfeng Village, but we are already living in Longfeng Village. In the future, if you are bored, you can come to Longfeng Village to ask me to set up a Longmen Formation. Let me tell you, those aunts and aunts in our village can chatter!"

"I can't talk to them. Who would talk to an old woman like me? There is a gap between us."

"Who said that?" Xiao Ling retorted, "Old lady, you are wrong. I think you and Xiao Yu can chat quite well. Sometimes I wonder if Xiao Yu can chat with anyone."

"Xiao Yu, you are not a centenarian old man, are you? And you have a face that hasn't faded away?"

"If you say so, I have become a thousand-year-old monster! But shouldn't this title be used on someone?"

Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Okay, Xiao Yu, you said that I am a thousand-year-old monster! If you say one more thing, I will get angry!"

Xiao Ling pouted and complained to the old lady beside her, "Old lady, look at how this man talks, he said I am a thousand-year-old monster, am I that old?"

"Girl, you are not a thousand-year-old monster."

The old lady smiled gratifiedly, watching the two young people quarreling, it was like seeing her son and daughter-in-law in their original appearance.

"Let me just say, look how I look like a thousand-year-old monster!"

The night is a frightening thing. There are many gravels on the country roads. He Yu helped the old man walk slowly, for fear that the old man would fall.

After walking for a short distance, He Yu asked the old lady, "Are you tired, old lady? How about we take a rest?"

Even though the old lady was a little out of breath, she said resolutely, "I'm not tired, I just walked this way, what's so tiring, before, we went to the town to buy things, but we kept walking!"

The old lady used to be in good health, needless to say, but now her hair is getting paler, and her face has been covered with wrinkles over the years. In addition, the old lady is so bony, He Yu is really worried that her body will not be able to bear it.

From the very beginning, he was quite worried about the old man. In order to save money, he even saved the bus fare and chose to walk at night.

Seeing that the old lady was panting heavily, He Yu yelled while supporting her waist, "Xiao Ling, I can't do it anymore, let's rest for a while, and then go on our way later, drink some water first."

At this time, the old lady also stopped, hunched over, waiting for He Yu to rest.

He Yu stopped walking, so he conjured a bottle of water from his hand and handed it to the old man.

The old man took a closer look through the light, and found that it was exactly the same as the water bottle that He Yu gave her during the day.

"Old lady, drink some water."

The old lady pushed her hand, "Drink first, I'm afraid I'll get you dirty, so give me the rest of your drink!"

He Yu glanced at the water in his hand, then handed it to the old lady, "It's okay, we don't dislike it!"

He Yu said she wouldn't dislike it, but the old lady didn't mind, she was afraid of getting someone else's water bottle dirty.

"Old lady, just drink it, we won't hold it back at all!"

Finally, the old lady was gone, she carefully held the water bottle and drank it slowly.

After resting, He Yu continued to help the old lady on the road.

Due to the narrow mountain road, they also had to slow down.

The night wind passed by the woods on both sides, and the leaves rubbed against each other, making a rustling sound, which sounded a bit indescribably weird.

Xiaoling became even more frightened, even though she was chatting, she still couldn't take courage.

Because she accidentally stepped on a dry branch and made a creaking sound, she was startled and shocked, cold sweat came out of her back, and beads of sweat were also covered on her forehead.

"Little Ling, are you okay?"

Xiao Ling shook her head and looked at Xiao Yu, only to see a black figure jumping out of the grass on the other side of Xiao Yu, she didn't know if it was a trick in her heart, she felt very strange.

"Xiao Yu, is there something in the grass over there?"

He Yu looked around, but didn't find anything, "Are you delusional? There's nothing here!"

Xiaoling comforted herself in her heart, she must have misread it.

"Let's go on and take the old lady home first!"

Although I was a little scared, but with Xiaoyu here, I was relieved a lot.

However, after walking for about 10 minutes, Xiaoling felt more and more intense in her heart. She always felt that there was something following behind her, but she didn't find anything when she looked behind her every time.

So Xiao Ling didn't look behind her any more, and walked forward with a candle.

At this moment, suddenly there was a sound in the grass in front, and a hare got out of the grass and jumped into another grass.

Xiaoling was frightened.

Seeing that it was a rabbit, He Yu didn't pay much attention, and continued to walk forward, but when he took three steps, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

It wasn't just the rabbit that was startled just now, after the rabbit was startled, he could vaguely hear a few birds fly away behind his right.

It is unusual for a rabbit to jump out and startle a few birds.

Unless there is something behind them, and the bird just flies by when it passes by.

Every time Xiao Ling looked behind him, he followed suit, but there was nothing behind him.

I don't know if that thing was too vigilant, or He Yu himself was sensitive, so while supporting the old lady, he pricked up his ears, not talking, and quietly listening to the sounds around him.

Xiao Ling seemed to have sensed something was wrong, he and Xiao Yu exchanged glances, and then Xiao Ling whispered, "Xiao Yu's candles are almost used up!"

He Yu looked at the road ahead, he disappeared a tree trunk, and then using his thoughts, a dry tree trunk appeared in his hand.

"Xiao Ling, give me the water bottle."

He Yu half-wet the tree pole in his hand, and then put the candle on the top of the dry tree trunk. After continuous burning, the flame became bigger and bigger, gradually igniting the whole wood.

"Xiao Ling, take the remaining candles first."

The old lady had never seen such a miraculous scene before, she looked at He Yu in amazement.

After He Yu finished everything, he explained to the old lady, "Old lady, I am a top magician, there is nothing in my hands that I cannot conjure."

"As long as the world exists, it can be transformed freely in my hands!"

The old lady thought she had met a great fairy, so she quickly knelt down. At this moment, He Yu was about to help the old lady, but through the flame in his left hand, he saw a black shadow.

The black shadow was very fast, He Yu looked to the right, a pair of green pupils gradually enlarged, He Yu violently pushed the old lady to the ground, threw the wooden stick in his hand at the black thing along with the flames, and shouted, "Xiao Ling get out of the way. "

Fortunately, there was no danger, and the black shadow scattered to the side.

When they took a closer look, it turned out to be a wolf.

Moreover, this wolf has been following them for a long time, waiting for the opportunity to act and deal a fatal blow to He Yu.

In the end, the wolf still failed, and He Yu discovered the wolf's whereabouts.

But he was a little scared, wolves lived in packs, once this wolf attracted other companions, they would surely die.

Xiaoling protected the old lady, He Yu and the wolf were in such a stalemate, the wolf made the movement of being ready to go at any time, which is the basic movement of hunting.

In the wild, no matter what kind of creature it is, as long as it is targeted by wolves, it will either be thrown off or eaten.

The wolf and He Yu were in a stalemate for a minute, and He Yu felt that this could not go on like this, otherwise it would attract other wolves.

So he held the torch tightly and shook it twice at the wolf, and the wolf stepped back in fear.

Fire is what all animals fear most.

Feeling the deterrence brought by the flames, the wolf took several steps back again and again, but he was unwilling to give up the prey in front of him.

Suddenly, He Yu remembered, this wolf just wanted to eat, and no one was as good at carrying food as He Yu.

The old lady watched the lone wolf closely, and said tremblingly, "Xiao Yu, you go first, this wolf must be hungry, that's why it comes out to hunt, if the wolves come later, all of us here will die." Can't go."

"Old lady, I don't have any meat on me, but I can hold on for a while, it's a while, you two run away!"

Xiao Ling shook her head, left the old lady and ran away, how could they do such a thing.

As the old lady was talking, she wanted to go forward, but He Yu stopped her. Seeing the wolf stepping forward, He Yu stared again, wary of the wolf in front of her.

"Old lady, don't worry, this wolf is injured."
