obligatory love

Cheng Yuan will always remember the moon that night.

The cold wind wrapped the knife and scratched the person's face. After standing outside for a long time, even a smile seemed to tear his face to pieces.The silence in the wilderness was so quiet that one could not even feel a little life, and the whimpering of the wind became the loudest roar, monopolizing the entire wilderness relentlessly.

The moon hangs arrogantly in the sky, spreading a layer of muddy veil on the world like alms.The night is not clean, not even a single star can be seen, only large shadows, like dirty oil stains sprinkled on the black curtain-these are clouds.

It’s just that these clouds seem to be afraid of something, even if they are in groups, or erratic like ghosts, or condensed like heavy mountains, they are not willing to get close to the turbid jade plate, so that the brilliance of that person will not be diminished. Seeing it makes people feel cold.

A few figures flashed past in the forest, merged with the wind passing through the forest, and disappeared into the endless darkness in a blink of an eye.

On the plank road, the orcs standing guard have been tense for two days, staring at every change down the mountain.However, the night is too dark, the wind is too loud, the mottled shadows of the branches and the muddy moonlight are intertwined, and the light and shade are unclear.

Soker went out to patrol twice during the day today, but did not stand guard outside at night, and stayed in the room with Cheng Yuan, doing their own things silently with each other.

In fact, in this primitive age, there was nothing to do at night.The reason why Cheng Yuan stayed up all the time was because he always felt that something was going to happen, and his heart would beat as soon as he closed his eyes.He has been suffering from insomnia for two consecutive nights. Instead of tossing and turning until dawn like last night, he might as well flip through a book for a while—although he has already flipped through this book to the point that he is about to memorize it.

Something was wrong with Thorkel today.

Usually, when Cheng Yuan was leaning on the bed and reading a book, Sokel would sit on the stool beside the bed, sometimes looking at Cheng Yuan, sometimes lowering his eyes and not knowing what he was thinking.But today he sat next to Cheng Yuan, intentionally or unintentionally put his hand on the corner of Cheng Yuan's clothes, but did not touch him.

Cheng Yuan was always uneasy in his heart, so he naturally noticed his small movements, and just pretended not to notice, and kept quiet.

That hand paused for a while, then tentatively moved closer to him, and then closer, and finally brought a slight touch through the clothes, like the tip of a cat's tail sweeping against his waist.

The slight warmth of the human body seems to pass through the thick clothes, making the body temperature of the two people exchange as finely as a spider's silk.The owner of the hand exhaled slightly as if satisfied, as if confirming something, the hand did not move any further.

Cheng Yuan seemed to have adjusted his sitting posture unintentionally. The room was small and the bed was not big. Such a movement made the space between the two of them even narrower, and they were almost close together.

"You are still busy these days. Don't worry too much." Cheng Yuan sighed, closed the book and said.

Sokel was taller than him, and now he lowered his head slightly, just in time to meet Cheng Yuan's eyes.

In the past six months, the young man's body has grown longer, and his face has become more angular.Those eyes were still as dark as black jade, but because of the slight frown, they were covered with dark sorrow.

"Cheng Yuan."

Sokel called Cheng Yuan's name very few times, but every time he could make Cheng Yuan "heartbeat"—or "throb", or "heart throbbing".

"Cheng Yuan," Sokel said, "I don't understand many things you said. In winter, surviving is everyone's greatest wish. If I survive, can you promise me one thing? "

Cheng Yuan's heart was pounding for no reason, and he shook his head to stop him from speaking, but Sokel still continued.

"If I survive, you promise me, don't treat me as a child, and don't treat me as a stranger who takes you in. Try to tell me everything you want to say but dare not say, okay? "

"Sockel!" Cheng Yuan was so flustered by saying such words in front of an uncertain fate, he didn't know whether to nod or shake his head for a while, and said, "Don't say that! Didn't Yellen go to find Eagle?" Clan? I also found out the location of the lair of the wolf clan, we will be fine!"

However, Thorkel only shook his head, and there was a flash of fire in his eyes, "It's too late. The wolves may not wait for three days."

As if to confirm this sentence, there was a sudden commotion outside the house, Sokel turned over and got out of bed, paused when he opened the door, and said, "Don't come out!"

"Sockel!"

Cheng Yuan jumped out of bed, and the door slammed shut in front of him.

The howling of wild beasts and the tense commanding human voice are mixed together, making it difficult to understand the specific situation outside.Standing in front of the door, Cheng Yuan's gaze gradually changed from panic to a firm determination to fight to the death.

This day has finally come.

"The first team and the second team don't rush down, stick to the plank roads on both sides!"

"Three teams, four teams! Get ready! Three, two, one, let go!"

Logs and boulders rolled down the steep mountain, and the cranes circling in the air immediately sounded the alarm. The wolves seemed to have expected such a move, and immediately scattered and dodged.

Ning Luo narrowed his eyes.

Logs are not easy to find, and boulders are even more difficult to find.These two things are huge in stature, and they already knew they couldn't hide them, and they couldn't hide them from the wolves, so they didn't pin their hopes on them, they just took them as a blow to the wolves.

The momentum of the wolves slowed down a bit, Rui who had been waiting for a long time over there immediately made a gesture, and the archers behind him lined up, pointing directly at the wolves down the mountain.

Rui took a step back and said "let it go".Every fox orc has three arrows with one bow. At this moment, thousands of arrows are fired, and there are arrows surging like rain.

Ning Luo leaned against the entrance of the cave, the cold wind made his robe rattle, but he showed a rare smile, took a deep breath in satisfaction, and let it out slowly like a drug addict.

The wolves can't wait.

But that's okay, he's been waiting for this day for a long time.

After the three waves of arrow rain were uninterruptedly released, there was a smell of blood in the air. I don't know if it was a psychological effect.The full moon hangs high in the sky, but the light that shines down is not very bright. Ning Luo looked down with naked eyes, but felt that the black hole was so dark that he couldn't see clearly, and he didn't know how many casualties the other party had suffered.

But they had no time to wait any longer.

Ning Luo and Rui looked at each other and nodded lightly. The third and fourth teams on standby rushed out like arrows flying off the string. Behind Rui, Simeng waved to the fox orcs, and the orcs all turned into pieces. In animal form, a group of three followed a Tiger Clan orc.

Simon walked up to Ning Luo and asked in a low voice, "Let's go now?"

"No, wait any longer." Ning Luo looked up at the sky.It is said that the moon is round like a jade plate, but there are mottled shadows in the jade, as if there are impurities.

"We want to 'tune the wolf away from the mountain'. The wolf king hasn't shown up yet, so don't worry."

Simon hesitated for a moment, but finally asked what he had been struggling with in his chest, "What do you think our chances of winning are?"

Ning Luo raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, looked at him amusedly as if he had heard some joke, and answered after a while, "If you asked me before tonight, I would tell you, [-]%. But now," Ning Luo said His eyes froze suddenly, "It must be [-]%."

The females, cubs and children in the cave were gathered in the meeting hall, the same arrangement as the previous wolf attack, but from Cheng Yuan's point of view today, he always felt more terrified.

Sokel wasn't there, Ning Luo wasn't there, Simon wasn't there, not even the two children.At this moment, only Pani was busy setting them up.

Fortunately, the children are quite well-behaved, and they don't cry when they are accompanied by their parents.Some little orcs will turn into beasts and lie next to their parents, while the little females will hide in their mother's arms, tightly holding on to the adult's clothes.

Cheng Yuan knew in his heart that the most sensible thing for him at this time was to stay here honestly, not to go out, not to move around, try to reduce his sense of existence, maybe he can use his residual heat to coax the children or something.

But he couldn't sit still.

He also couldn't tell what he was worried about.

Maybe it's my uncertain future, maybe it's the concern for the tribe that took me in, maybe it's the fear of possible death, maybe...

Maybe it was because he was afraid of him and never came back.

He knew how good that person was.He is the bravest orc in the whole land, and if he wants to, he should also be the youngest "adult orc" in the whole land. He has enough strength to become a big part in the history of this wild land. Perhaps, if he wants to, He can be the patriarch of a clan.

Even though he is so powerful, Cheng Yuan still couldn't help but see how he was covered in blood that day.

Cheng Yuan only felt that the air in the room was so cloudy that he couldn't breathe, his heart seemed to be stuck above his stomach, beating restlessly, which made him nauseous.

Neither sitting nor standing, Cheng Yuan huddled in the corner of the room and kept pacing.There were many people in the room, and the space was small, so he could only keep circling back and forth in situ, as embarrassed as an ant on a hot pot.

"Cheng Yuan, Cheng Yuan!"

Pani called twice before Cheng Yuan responded.

"Hey!" Cheng Yuan took two quick steps to meet him, "What's wrong?"

His partner was also directing the battle outside at this time, and Pani knew that people who are idle at this time are most likely to think wildly, so he simply asked Cheng Yuan to help, "The two children, the mother and father are gone, and the beast father is fighting outside, you It's their teacher, to comfort them and stabilize their emotions."

"Okay." Cheng Yuan nodded and walked towards the two children.
