Sentinel is not good

Before dawn, Zhang Mu brought his deputies to look for the wolf cub.

The sky is gradually getting brighter, and the boundary between the sky and the earth seems to be rolling up and down by the orange wind.

This orange line borders the surface until it is completely clear.Sand and gravel are constantly being blown up, indicating that a violent storm is approaching and will reach the camp in a week.

There is not much time left for them.

In this twilight, they saw the wolf cub sharpening his dagger on the stone, and behind him was Song Jian, who was still braiding the boy's hair with his little hands, although he couldn't see everything in front of him clearly.

"Brother Wolf, I'll tie it up for you. If you tie it up, you can run fast and don't block your eyes." Song Jian's eyes were red and swollen, and he cried for half the night last night. He didn't dare to cry loudly and finally only dared to shed tears silently, "No If you block your eyes, you run fast, and you come back early."

"Run fast, I'll be back soon." The boy turned his head and gnawed on the back of Song Jian's hand.

There is still a red mark on the back of the hand, which was beaten last night.

"I'm not here, so I won't cry." The boy said again.

"I don't cry, but I'm scared..." Song Jian hugged the boy's back, and wanted to reassure Brother Little Wolf, "Then I won't cry, I listen to you, you take the wolf and run quickly, Find the underground bunker, come back."

The boy nodded, tied a low ponytail, and his hair grew back.But he didn't have the concept of cutting hair, but Song Jian asked Zhang Mu to cut it for him.

Puppies need shearing, wolves don't.

"We're here to send you off." Zhang Mu brought two simple backpacks, one containing water and dried meat, and the other containing a whole pack of blue signal flares.Only blue, no red, this is the last hope.

The boy took a look at it, handed the food bag to Song Jian, and carried the other on his back.Song Jian didn't know what was given to him, so he took it stupidly: "Brother Little Wolf, what did you give me?"

"You eat, I'm not here." The boy said.

Zhang Mu understood immediately. "Don't worry, we adults will bring food and water to Song Jian these days when you go out, so we won't starve him or thirst him. Take your backpack with you. In the desert, getting lost is fatal."

"Wolves don't get lost," said the boy.A pack of wolves was already waiting for him not far away, he didn't go by himself, he had wolves.

"But wolves need to eat." Zhang Mu said.

The boy shook his head: "If you're hungry, wolves will hunt. If you pick, they won't hunt."

It's hard not to be moved when these words come from the mouth of a 14-year-old child.Zhang Mu didn't try to persuade him anymore, the wolf cub had a big idea, and it didn't make any sense at all. What he thought was to hunt temporarily with the wolf when he was hungry, but what if he couldn't catch it?The wolf cub couldn't think of that much.

Wild animals never plan for the future, they only focus on the present, so there is no worry, no fear, so they can run farther.

The sun began to rise, and the boy tied the hemp rope around Song Jian's neck to Song Jian's waist. One end was tied around the neck and the other end was tied around the waist: "If you pick up, be good, eat more, and eat fat."

Song Jian pretended not to be afraid. "Then you and the wolf don't die, you have to come back quickly."

"I won't die if you pick it up, neither will I and the wolf." The boy finally said.

"Wait!" Zhang Mu's heart was broken, only to realize that now, the boy has entered puberty and has no name yet.Everyone called him "Hey", only Song Jian called him "Brother Little Wolf" sincerely.

"You should have a name." Zhang Mu and his lieutenants exchanged expressions. Through the farewell he said to Song Jian just now, everyone could see that this was a child who understood feelings. "There is a human name."

But the boy shook his head, tightened his hemp rope belt, and fastened his dagger.There is a cross notch on the handle.He wears trousers, but he is not used to wearing a jacket and shoes, so he can run faster than a rabbit in the desert with bare feet.

"Wolf doesn't need a name. Wolf is just wolf." The boy left after speaking. He was a wolf, but Song Jian was a puppy with a wolf.

Song Jian really wanted to chase after him, but after running for a few steps, he fell. Fortunately, it was covered with sand and did not hurt, it just scared him.He quickly raised his head, only to see Brother Little Wolf's back, and suddenly found that the shadow had become taller and wider.

His little wolf brother is going to start growing up, and will be taller, wider and faster in the future.But I will fall after running a few steps.

You have to keep up with him.

The boy ran very fast, and within a few minutes he followed the pack of wolves into the sand dune area, and he was nowhere to be seen, only a string of messy footprints remained, some from wolves and some from humans.

Zhang Mu helped Song Jian up: "Are you all right?"

"Where's Brother Little Wolf?" Song Jian was still looking into the distance.

"He went to find an underground bunker and will be back soon." Zhang Mu glanced at his deputy.The deputies all groped around and pieced together more than a dozen pieces of compressed biscuits, which were all exchanged by the refugees and sentinel guides who were close to the alliance army or the field army.

Zhang Mu collected the biscuits: "Eat it, I will give you something to eat in a few days."

"Will Brother Little Wolf die?" Song Jian was not hungry, but he still put away the biscuits.He had never seen biscuits before, but he could feel them. They were hard and smelled delicious.These are all grains, Brother Little Wolf hasn't eaten yet, he hasn't eaten any biscuits yet, so he left.

At this moment, Song Jian hated Zhang Mu a little bit, hated him for sending his brother to find a bunker, hated him for letting Brother Little Wolf leave early in the morning, and even more hated him for not taking out the biscuits earlier.

"No, he won't die." Zhang Mu comforted Song Jian. He thought that most of Song Jian's fear came from losing his support. contribution."

"I don't need you to raise me. I have my brother." Song Jian turned his face away and ignored no one. "If something happens to Brother Little Wolf, I will die with him. You...don't worry about me."

After finishing speaking, Song Jian stretched out his hand and walked towards the small tent under the early morning sunlight.Afraid that he would fall, Zhang Mu quietly followed him to the door of the tent, where he saw the gray-white female wolf lying on the thick blanket, and a dozen or so cubs that had opened their eyes and howled.

They are not the same color, may not be a litter, and the wolf cannot have so many at a time.

Zhang Mu understood that the female wolves who could keep up with the pack after giving birth had all left, and the more they were, the larger the area to search.The remaining one has no physical strength to keep up, and the cubs will be hungry for several days.

"Keep an eye on this place." Zhang Mu said to his lieutenants, "at least one person should stay behind to protect Song Jian, and no one can watch him."

The cubs are not hungry yet, and the mother wolves leave after feeding their last meal. They are just not used to leaving the pack.Song Jian came back after listening to their small whining sound, and kowtowed his head when he reached the entrance of the tent.

"Ouch." He rubbed his forehead, and he was still used to calling Brother when it hurt, "Brother Wolf, I'm knocking."

It took a few seconds for him to remember that Brother Little Wolf was not there, and he and the pack of wolves left.Song Jian was frightened for a while. In the past few years, he was completely used to living in a pack of wolves. If his brother was away, ferocious wolves would be left to protect him.

Now that they are not here, Song Jian has no idea.

The cubs thought the she-wolf had come back, so they crawled on Song Jian's body one by one. Song Jian had to lie down and let them cover themselves. Ears, say don't be afraid.

Little wolf brother is not here, I have to protect his wolf well and not let him worry.

After a while, Song Jian fell asleep, his eyesight was not good, and his world was monotonous and boring.

When he woke up again, it was dark. Song Jian touched the cubs. They were not hungry for the time being, and they were all sleeping.So Song Jian crawled up in the dark, cut the raw meat, and stuffed it into the mouth of the she-wolf.

The she-wolf moved her tongue and ate it.Song Jian took the water bottle again and poured water into its mouth, and when he heard the sound of it licking its tongue, he knew it had drunk it.

Its breasts are still swollen and there is milk, but it can’t feed so many cubs. Song Jian is a little worried about so many little fur balls.These are Brother Little Wolf's wolves. They grow very fast. They only need one or two years. When I am thirteen or fourteen, they will be the youngest killers in the wolf pack.

But, they are so small now, Song Jian picked them up and kissed them one by one, each one smelled like milk.It's a pity that I don't have milk to feed them.

Sure enough, by noon the next day, the cubs became disobedient and crazily crowded towards the female wolf's belly hair to find milk.Song Jian could only grope blindly, feel for one, catch one, let them line up, and let them not grab.

"Don't worry, little wolf brother will be back soon." Song Jian comforted them and comforted himself, not to cry, promised brother that he would not cry, and learn to be bold, "After brother comes back, your mother will come back too. You have a mother, but I don't...I...I miss my brother so much, he will be back soon."

The cubs couldn't understand at all and wanted to suckle all the time.

In the evening, Song Jian ate a lot of jerky and potatoes brought by Zhang Mu, hoping to gain weight and height quickly and stop being a burden.At night, overwhelmed by crazy thoughts, he went outside the tent, trying to chase the tall figure, but was called back by the cry of the cub.

I can't see clearly, even if I grow up, I can't keep up with him.

No, it won't work like this. If you can't see it, you have to keep up.Song Jian sat for a while, then stood up, and touched the wooden stick erected in the tent.

The stick was taller than himself, and it was cut very straight. Song Jian held it, tentatively stretched the stick forward to identify the items in the tent, and then went out to feel the feeling of poking the sand with the stick.

I have to grow taller and bigger, and I can't cry all the time.

Relying on only a stick without the traction of a rope, Song Jian felt no sense of security and lost his way. Even though he knew he was outside the tent, he still seemed to be in the center of the boundless desert.The only thing that comforted him was the notch on the wooden stick. He repeatedly touched the cross.

Anything with a cross on it belongs to Little Wolf.

Song Jian went around the tent, practicing, walking around and around.

Fan Yu watched from not far from the tent, with a hand on his shoulder.

"I advise you not to touch him." Zhang Mu didn't leave after delivering the potatoes, and his main defense was Fan Yu.

"

What did I do to him?I still wanted to keep him. "Fan Yu smiled, the eye under the blindfold went off while assembling the gun.

"You know what you think in your heart." Zhang Mu said, "If you rely on your own ability in the future, if Song Jian is willing to go with you, I will not say a word. You scare him now, the wolf cub will not spare you , His wolf will not spare you."

"I'm not interested in children." Fan Yu said, "I'll wait for him to grow up and let him know that guns are better than wolves."

Brother Little Wolf and the pack of wolves had been away for three days, Song Jian was counting.The wind has also become stronger in the past few days, especially at night. Several times, he thought that the small tent would be blown away.But he didn't dare to be afraid. Once he was afraid, no one would protect the wolf.

He has already learned how to walk by poking the ground with a wooden stick. He has to become even stronger and become an adult in the future so that he can catch up with Brother Little Wolf.

That shadow will not be so small forever, it will get taller and taller, becoming the strongest shadow in the camp.Song Jian practices every day, and when he sees Brother Little Wolf again, he must give him a surprise.

Not only did he not cry, he was not afraid, he would grow up and run forward with him in the future.
