Sentinel is not good

The poisonous scorpions were huge, even bigger than Song Jian's little feet. The most frightening thing was that they appeared in groups and moved very fast.

If there is one, there will be a second one. Once you start running, you can't catch it at all.In the past, every time he caught a poisonous scorpion, he would ambush him from behind, and the boy never thought that one day he would face it directly.

But Song Jian had already run out.

"Brother, are you going to stop hunting today?" Song Jian thought Brother Little Wolf was soft-hearted, and he was willing to accompany him for a day today, and walked out happily, completely ignoring the poisonous insect that harvested life.

"Don't, don't! Don't!" The boy's language was lacking, and his voice was broken, leaving only these two hoarse words.

"Ah? Brother Little Wolf, what did you say?" Song Jian walked towards the source of the sound, and raised his small arms forward, wanting to hug him.

In this world, brother treats me the best.

The poisonous scorpion had already been attracted by the vibration from the boy's side, and it crawled towards this side at high speed.When it got up, it seemed to be flying against the sand, and the speed was very fast. Even if the boy ran with all his strength, he might not be able to escape.But Song Jian came out again, not only shaking, but also tending to get close to the poisonous scorpion.

This is a kind of provocation for the aggressive poisonous scorpion.So it gave up on the boy and went straight to Song to pick it up.

The boy didn't care so much anymore and chased after him frantically, but for the first time he felt the fear of losing Song Jian.

As a wolf, he shouldn't have such fear. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of the desert, but at this moment he does have the fear of death.If Song Jian was stung by a scorpion, he would become icy and cold.

He no longer talks to himself, wants to hold hands with himself, licks his chin, grinds his teeth with his little finger, and he won't yell at Brother Little Wolf, let alone warm his little feet with hot stones.

His little feet will also become icy and cold, and no matter how many woolen socks he wears, he will not be able to warm them up.

But the poisonous scorpion ran too fast, and it ran over in a flash. It was heading in Song Jian's direction, but Song Jian couldn't see it.

"Pick it up!" the boy shouted, and the corners of his eyes felt moist for the first time.

"I heard it." Song Jian knew Brother Little Wolf was coming, and smiled, standing at the door of the tent waiting for him, "Brother, take my hand and go today, okay?"

The poisonous scorpion raised its poisonous barbs, backed up a bit, and threw itself at Song Jian's calf.A gray wolf got out of the tent and blocked Song Jian.

The poisonous scorpion immediately launched an attack, trying to pierce the prey with a poisonous hook, but the desert wolf's hair is too thick, with several layers, and each layer is hardened by the secretion of oil, and it is easy to get rid of it even if it is wet with water. shake off.

Such a stab did not pierce through.The wolf seized the opportunity. As a desert creature, dealing with poisonous scorpions is an essential skill for survival.It didn't press it with its front paws, but directly grabbed it with its mouth, grabbed the tail of the poisonous scorpion in one bite, and crushed it instantly.

The venom gland is ruptured in the mouth, as long as there is no wound in the mouth and the venom does not enter the blood, the lethality of the scorpion does not exist.But luck will not always be one end, the dying poisonous scorpion hooked the wolf's gums with its sharp thorns.

No hairs here, pierced in a split second.The female wolf shook her head, ran around a few times, and finally returned to the entrance of the tent, slowly falling over.

And all of this was invisible to Song Jian. He only heard loud noises, like a fight among wolves.Occasionally, wolves and wolves would fight, and Brother Little Wolf told him that every male wolf wanted to challenge the leading wolf.

Even Brother Little Wolf was no exception. As far as Song Jian remembered, there were three times, winning twice and losing once.Brother Little Wolf said that he can't challenge the head wolf yet, but he can challenge the higher-level wolves, so that he can get more when sharing food in the future.

Now, Song Jian quickly retreated into the tent and stopped the cubs running out with his arms.They are still so small, and howling one by one, if they run out, they are easily bitten by angry male wolves.

"Brother Little Wolf, is there a wolf fighting?" Song Jian tried his best to look out, only seeing mottled shadows, "Is it a fight?"

But he didn't wait for an answer, and what he waited for was the smell of burning wood.

The boy saw the wolf picking up for Song, and also saw the wolf fall down, but the more dangerous thing was still there, the scorpion swarm had already crawled out.They are densely packed, about a dozen of them.

They would surround him and sting Song Jian and the cubs to death.

What the boy thought of for a moment turned out to be the fire that he was most afraid of.Very hot very hot fire.

Huo that even he and the wolves stayed away from him.

In the desert, there is no living thing that is not afraid of fire, even humans cannot control it.Once the fire ignites, there is no way out for those who cannot escape.He quickly ran to the bonfire next door, grabbed two burning sticks, and ran back with the unlit end.

"Pick up, wolf, at your feet." He firmly guarded the entrance of the tent, "Pull it back, quick!"

Only then did Song Jian realize that this was not a fight between wolves, and something else must have happened.Two little hands fumbled down, searching, and found the fluffy wolf.Still panting, but unable to move.He tried his best to pull the she-wolf back, and heard the soft cries of the cubs. He touched it again, but the cubs didn't know that the she-wolf had fallen down, and they were still looking for milk on her chest.

"Don't touch it, don't touch it..." Song Jian took them away one by one, and touched the body of the female wolf like he checked Brother Little Wolf's wound last time.But after fumbling around, I couldn't find a big hole.

The poisonous scorpion crawled towards the entrance of the tent. The boy resisted the fear of the fire, seized the right opportunity, and poked the burning end at the tail of the poisonous scorpion.

There was a sizzle.

Another one came, and he directed the fire over again, specifically to burn the scorpion's tail hook.But there were too many poisonous scorpions, so he waved the torch indiscriminately in the end, using the increased temperature to scare them.

Some retreated in fright, and some rushed forward. The boy was burned several times, but he still refused to let go. He thought he would never touch the fire, but now he couldn't care less.The fire that he is afraid of can protect the wolf and Song Jian.

Once he got the fire in his hands, the boy realized that it was not as big and scary as it looked in the campfire.

Until the last scorpion that jumped on it was scalded to death, the smell of burning things was already in his nose.The boy sat down on the ground, unable to believe that he was not dead.

Even the bravest wolves know that poisonous scorpions can only be caught when they are off guard, and if they encounter them head-on, they can only run.The wolf that rushed out to bite the scorpion might have been protecting Song Jian, but most of its bravery was definitely to protect its offspring.

The cubs are still so small and still suckling.

The boy threw away the burning stick, ignoring the burned skin on his palm.The wolves lingered and howled not far away, but they didn't rush forward.

The alpha wolf is very smart and will not order the adult pack to rescue the cubs just because the cubs are in danger.

"How about picking it up?" The boy was still in shock.

"Brother Little Wolf, what is it? I'm so anxious, I'm so anxious." Song Jian was always worried about not being able to see, and almost scratched his eyelids again.

"Scorpion, poisonous, scorpion." The boy slowly got up, knelt down beside the injured wolf, and opened its paralyzed mouth, "It's dangerous, if you pick it up, you will die!"

Song Jian hugged the cubs who were crying and waiting to be fed, holding back and not letting himself cry. "Brother Wolf, are you hurt? I... I'll go find Zhang Mu, and I'll change your medicine. Are you hurt?"

The boy didn't have time to take care of himself, the sting of the poisonous scorpion was still poking the she-wolf's gums.He picked up the short knife next to him, picked it lightly with the tip of the knife, picked out the hook, and threw it out of the tent.Come back again, hold up the wolf's head again, and slide a few times on the bleeding hole with the tip of the knife.

Crimson blood gushed from the cut gums.

The boy pressed the wound with his hand and squeezed it out.

On this day, the boy did not hunt, and the wolves did not leave.They ran violently around the edge of the camp, attracting the attention of many people.

When Zhang Mu came with Fan Yu, the boy was rubbing iodine on the wound of the female wolf.

"What happened?" Zhang Mu asked standing outside the tent.

The wolf cub's tent can't be too close, or it will be attacked by wolves.And the reason why he brought Fan Yu here is because Fan Yu's shooting is accurate, and he is a gun dealer with enough ammunition. If the wolves really get out of control, Fan Yu is definitely not a soft-hearted person.On the other hand, he is the adoptive father of the wolf cub and has been providing the wolf cub with three meals.

The camp has accepted their adoptive father-son relationship, and Fan Yu can't break away from the relationship if anything happens to the wolf cub.After all, he was the one who insisted on going his own way back to the camp with this boy who couldn't integrate into human life.

Seeing them coming, the boy's first reaction was to hide Song Jian.He pushed Song Jian to the innermost part of the tent and covered his head with a thin blanket.Song Jian immediately fell silent and curled up obediently under the blanket. Brother Little Wolf did this, which meant that Fan Yu was here.

"Wolf, I'm injured." The boy took out a basket full of dead poisonous scorpions. "It's poisonous. I need your medicine."

"It's not a big deal if one dies." Fan Yu gritted his teeth and said, leaving a scar where the tiger's mouth was bitten, "When you are fully able to talk, come with me to get a gun, the gun is the most useful of."

The boy took out his dagger and cut off the scorpion's tail in front of them. "Poison, here you are, I need your medicine."

Fan Yu, who hadn't planned to save the wolf just now, his eyes lit up.Except for guns, poison is the most powerful weapon. If the crossbow is poisoned and then goes hunting, the injured prey will be in the bag.

"Also, I need fire," the boy said again.

"Fire?" Zhang Mu also took a fancy to the pile of poisonous scorpions, "Are you talking about firewood?"

The boy nodded, pointing the knife at them, not allowing another step closer to the tent. "Firewood, and, medicine. Come and exchange."

"It's going to be transferred again next week. I'm afraid you won't be able to collect the firewood. If you want to use it, you can get it from me." Zhang Mu made a deal with Fan Yu in front of the wolf cub. The wolf cub is very shrewd. Give him a few more years. This kid will be the most powerful hunter in the camp, "Fan Yu, go and find medicine for him, half of these poisonous things are for one person."

"Damn, why should I look for medicine?" Fan Yu flicked the one-eyed blindfold and left.

Fan Yu didn't bring the medicine until very late, and he didn't know if it could detoxify.Once poisoned, you can only try your luck.The boy put together the severed poisonous glands and handed them to Zhang Mu, who exchanged them with a handful of firewood.

After they were all gone, Song Jian emerged from under the blanket, still trembling.Because of the previous incident, he was very afraid of Fan Yu and didn't know what he was going to do to him.

"Brother Wolf, are they gone?" Song Jian stretched out his hand to feel outside, "Can I come out?"

"Yes." The boy imitated the tent next door and set up a bonfire.He has flint and steel, which he stole from Fan Yu's tent that year, and looking at it now, it doesn't seem so scary.

As soon as the two black stones touched, a few sparks fell out, and the boy let go of his hand in fright.The hand has been broken, it is the blister that was burned in the morning.

Song Jian tilted his head and listened carefully. He knew that his brother was afraid of fire, but he could always hear the flint and steel bumping against each other. Finally, the tent became quiet. Brother Little Wolf entered the tent and pulled the rope around his neck.

The boy stuffed the medicine into the wolf's mouth, poked it down with his fingers, all the way to the back of the back molars, then lifted the wolf's head up, and slowly filled the pot with water.

"Brother, will it die?" Song Jian smelled a scent, it was so fragrant, and he was hungry all of a sudden.

"No, I won't, let the wolf die." The boy and Song Jian leaned next to each other for a while, then went to the campfire outside and pulled out a dozen roasted scorpions.

Only this time, he didn't extinguish the bonfire, he wanted to keep it, even though it was a small pile of fire, but this pile of fire was the proof of separating the beasts and people.Beasts and poisonous insects are always afraid of fire, he cannot be afraid, no matter what it is, he cannot be afraid.

"Very good, pick it up, you can eat it." The boy ate it himself, and then handed it to Song Pick up the food with his mouth.

Song Jian didn't know what was handed over, took a bite and said with a smile: "Is this meat? This meat is delicious."

"It's delicious, you can pick it up, eat more." The boy is always afraid that Song Jian will not be able to keep him alive, and the puppy will die too easily, "No, I'm afraid, we are on fire."
