Chapter 40 Meeting the Wolf
Chapter 40 Meeting the Wolf
In the room, Bai Chuling sat on a stool with his head bowed, a pair of delicate little hands resting on his knees, biting his lower lip with his upper teeth.
"Miss Bai, as a woman, it's too dangerous to be alone outside, it's better to go back as soon as possible." Ji Yinghan persuaded.
Bai Chuling shook his head and refused to make a sound.
"Madam Bai should be very worried about you running away from home without telling me."
Seeing Ji Yinghan mentioning her mother, Bai Chuling's eyes turned red. Thinking about the many things she had encountered in the past few days, she felt even more aggrieved, but she still insisted: "I won't go back."
"Miss Bai's refusal to go back to Baijiabao is not related to Yang Shaoxia's visit to propose marriage?" Xuan Lie had just listened to Qin Xun's unintentional words.
Bai Chuling didn't speak.
"If Miss Bai doesn't want this marriage, then just ask Mrs. Bai to refuse. Why run away from home?" Qin Xun also joined the ranks of persuasion.
"It's easy to say, how can I refuse? What's more, my mother and uncle have intended to do this a long time ago, so how can I refuse?" Bai Chuling was very discouraged.
"No matter what, it's never appropriate for Miss Bai to go out alone, and it's not safe to go on the road alone. I should find someone to deliver the letter to Baijiabao, and let the castle send someone to pick it up." Ji Yinghan said.
"I won't go back, I said I won't go back." Bai Chuling jumped up from the chair, her little face flushed with anger, "Even if you ask someone to pick me up, I will run out again."
"Then what does that have to do with me?" Ji Yinghan stared sternly, "The reason for sending the letter to Baijiabao this time is because Leader Xie has taken care of me a lot, so if you know Miss Bai's whereabouts and hide it, then You lied to Leader Xie. As for what will happen to Miss Bai after she returns to Baijiabao, that is out of my consideration."
Bai Chuling stopped talking, her eyes were full of grievances when she stared at Ji Yinghan, and tears rolled in her eyes.
"Do you think I want to do this? But what can I do as a girl? If I want to suppress Baijiabao, how dare I not marry. But I don't want to marry someone I don't like. Although I and Yang Tuo were young We know each other, but he is not the one I want to marry, maybe I can keep the status of Baijiabao if I marry, but that is the happiness of my life, how can I be reconciled?" Bai Chuling looked at Ji Ying with teary eyes Han, "Daddy has worked so hard to develop the Baijiabao. I don't want... I don't want to keep its status in this way. If I do this, will Daddy be happy?"
Ji Yinghan's brows became tighter and tighter. He looked at Bai Chuling in front of him, less domineering and stubborn than before, and more charming and pitiful.
"Is it my fault for such a background? What did I do wrong?" Bai Chuling burst into tears.
Ji Yinghan's heart stopped, and Bai Chuling's words were poking at his heart. He had asked himself similar words before.
What did he do wrong, to bear so much hatred and debt, is it just because he is the crown prince of a subjugated country?
"Brother Ji, let Ms. Bai come with us." Qin Xun on the side couldn't bear it, "If you are afraid of causing trouble, I will take care of her. Will you, Brother Ji?"
"Yinghan." Xuanlie tugged on Raji Yinghan's sleeve, calling him back to his senses, "What do you think of Ah Xun's proposal?"
Ji Yinghan looked at Bai Chuling's pear blossom with rain in front of him, and finally couldn't bear to drive her away.
"We need to rush back to Lingcheng as soon as possible, and we won't take too many breaks in the middle. Would you like to go all the way?"
Bai Chuling was taken aback, and it took a long time to realize the meaning of Ji Yinghan's words, and nodded hurriedly: "I would."
"Since that's the case, then don't call me Alliance Leader Ji." Ji Yinghan thought for a while, "If you want, just like Ah Xun, call me Brother Ji."
Bai Chuling laughed through tears, and hurriedly called, "Brother Ji."
In order to prevent everyone in Baijiabao from worrying about it, and fearing that it would be difficult to explain in the future, after discussing with Bai Chuling, Ji Yinghan still sent someone to send a message back to Baijiabao.After that, the four of them went back on the road.
In the first few days, Bai Chuling felt relaxed, but soon became too much.
Continuously rushing on horseback, almost all the way is in the wild forest and wild roads, sometimes even eating on horseback, it is really very hard.Ji Yinghan and the three of them have long been used to wandering around the rivers and lakes. After all, Bai Chuling is the eldest lady who was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. After a few days, she was tortured until she almost lost her skin.But Bai Chuling is very different from the other delicate young ladies. She has a stubborn personality, and she is not willing to show weakness in her bones. After a few days, she gritted her teeth and insisted on following Ji Yinghan and the other three.
As the evening approached, several people decided to stop and rest.Qin Xun went to look for water sources, Ji Yinghan and Xuan Lie went nearby to hunt some game, leaving Bai Chuling alone to guard the luggage and horses.
Ji Yinghan and Xuan Lie hunted a pheasant and two hares not far away, and they walked back carrying them.
"咴咴..."
"what--!"
The panicked neighing of the horses and a sharp scream broke the silence of the entire forest.
Ji Yinghan and Xuan Lie looked at each other, and hurried over to where Bai Chuling was.
When Ji Yinghan and Xuanlie saw Bai Chuling, they couldn't help but gasped.Bai Chuling's pretty face was pale, and she leaned back limply on the tree trunk behind her, her hand holding the small leather whip trembling badly.Ten meters in front of her, a pair of brown eyes gleamed ferociously. It was a huge wolf, all black and shiny, with sharp teeth bared.
And the mounts of the few of them had already disappeared without a trace.
Ji Yinghan squatted down and picked up a stone and held it in the palm of his hand, but he hesitated again and again before he dared to make a move. If he missed, Bai Chuling, who was so fierce as a wolf, would be in danger.
When Ji Yinghan was at a loss, Xuanlie beside him tugged on his sleeve, Ji Yinghan turned his head and looked in the direction of Xuanlie's finger.Under a tree not far from the two of them, a three- to four-month-old little wolf was staring at the big wolf in front of Bai Chuling with its head propped up.
Ji Yinghan nodded to Xuan Lie, and the two quietly touched her.
The big wolf approached Bai Chuling step by step, and Bai Chuling moved back tremblingly, but there was a tree trunk behind her, and her legs were weak, and she had no strength or courage to stand up at all.
With a few meters left, the big wolf slowed down, his tail drooping, his teeth sticking out, and his ears leaning back against his head.It's a harbinger of attack.
At this time, Ji Yinghan and Xuan Lie were only a few steps away from the little wolf. The little wolf seemed to sense something and turned his head. A pair of round brown eyes were facing last Ji Yinghan's black and white eyes.Sooner or later, Ji Yinghan swooped down and pinned the little wolf who hadn't reacted yet.
The little wolf let out a sharp cry and kept thumping, Ji Yinghan and Xuan Lie pressed the little wolf firmly to the ground.
The unexpected situation encountered by the little wolf successfully attracted the big wolf who was about to hunt, and the big wolf turned around.At this time, Qin Xun rushed out from the other side, pulled up Bai Chuling who was on the ground, and dragged him to a safe place.Ji Yinghan and Xuanlie breathed a sigh of relief.At this time, the big wolf had already arrived in front of him a few steps away.Ji Yinghan lifted the little wolf with one hand, and stuck the other under the little wolf's neck. The big wolf stopped, not daring to take another step forward.
Ji Yinghan narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the big wolf calmly.
After persisting for a long time, Big Wolf finally compromised first.It bent its legs and knelt down.
Even so, Ji Yinghan didn't dare to let go of the little wolf in his hands, the big wolf might counterattack at any time.He carried the little wolf with little flesh, drew his sword, and approached the big wolf step by step.The big wolf glanced at the little wolf in Ji Yinghan's hand with nostalgia, and finally lowered his high head and closed his eyes.Ji Yinghan raised the sword in his hand, the little wolf seemed to understand something, and kept struggling and howling.The cry of the little wolf made the big wolf open his eyes, and a crystal teardrop rolled down from the big wolf's eyes and blew into its shiny black fur.
Ji Yinghan's sword stopped in midair for a long time, and finally he let it down slowly.
"Xuan Lie, bring over the wild game you just hunted."
Xuanlie nodded, ran to the tree where the two had just hid, lifted the two hares and a pheasant and placed them in front of the big wolf.Ji Yinghan pressed the sword with one hand, gently put the little wolf down with the other, and stepped back step by step.
The little wolf quickly ran to the side of the big wolf, and rubbed the big wolf's cheek and neck with all four hooves.The big wolf stood up, shook the dust off his body, tilted his head and glanced at Ji Yinghan, picked up the two hares on the ground with his mouth, left behind the pheasant and left with the little wolf.
Xuan Lie walked over to pick up the pheasant on the ground, and smiled at Ji Yinghan: "This wolf is quite human."
"Wolves usually hunt at night, and most of them are in packs. This female wolf and cub may come out during the day because they have been alone and hungry for too long."
"Yeah." Xuan Lie nodded, "But at this time, we have to think of a way before hunting some game. We don't have much dry food. Now that we don't have horses, we don't know when we will be able to go to the next village."
Ji Yinghan comforted the shocked Bai Chuling a few times, and handed the only remaining pheasant to Qin Xun: "Ah Xun, you are here with Chuling, and by the way, roast this pheasant and eat it first. Xuan and I will eat it first." Let's go hunt some wild game."
"Okay." Qin Xun nodded.
"Brother Ji." Qin Xun pointed to the direction he just came from, "Just now I found a small river over there, and there are some fish in the river."
"I see." Ji Yinghan nodded, and he and Xuan Lie walked towards Qin Xun's direction.
The author has something to say: I am very sorry, because the Qingming holiday and the overtime update of these days are relatively slow.
With recent events at home, I'm likely to be away from the city I'm in for a while, and I don't even know if I'll be back.I still have a part of the manuscript in my hand, and I will try my best to update it and finish this article as much as possible, but there is no way to make too much guarantee in terms of time.Because right now, it's really hard to have the mood to concentrate on writing.
Now that the article is published, it is my responsibility to finish the article even if there is only one reader, and I will try my best to do so.
Thank you to everyone who read the article, although there are few, but every click rate is my comfort.
For the shortcomings, please also ask Haihan.
Thank you.
