10. Meet the Wolf

() The setting sun has set in the west, and the fiery red sunset glow in the sky is extremely beautiful. The road stretches under your feet. Wang Wei and Cui Yingluo, who are walking side by side, have already entered the territory of Jingzhao Mansion, and they are getting closer to the capital Chang'an.

Cui Yingluo seemed to be very familiar with the road, as if she often came to Chang'an, she pointed to the south and east, and said with a melodious voice like a wind chime: "In another seventeen or eight miles, you can see The walls of the Chang'an Wai Guo were destroyed."

Wang Wei nodded. It would not take too long to complete the seventeen or eight li journey, and he should be able to reach the city before the city gate closed.

Wang Wei subconsciously accelerated the speed of the horse, and Cui Yingluo followed closely, but they couldn't travel a mile, and their speed slowed down again. The horse stopped suddenly, and Cui Yingluo wondered: "What's wrong? Will it be blocked?"

Just in front of them, a group of people gathered for some reason.Seven or eight cars and horses stopped, together with hundreds of people, they blocked the official road leading to Chang'an.The fields on both sides of the official road are already very green.

Originally, because of the roadbed, the official road should be one foot higher than the surroundings, like a passage surrounded by green, but it was blocked by that group of people. The act of trampling crops is a crime.

"What's going on?" Wang Vienna was stunned. He and Cui Yingluo drove forward, drove away the crowd blocking the way, and forced them to the side of the official road.No matter how many complaints behind him, he squeezed to the front.

When everyone saw Wang Wei's clothes of Taixue students, they immediately complained that they had restrained a lot, and there was only a kind of envy and respect for the master in their eyes. If Wang Wei had an official body and wore an official uniform, then It is estimated that no one dared to make any complaints before, this is the charm of power.

"It's wolves!" Cui Yingluo's complexion changed slightly. It would be fine if there were fewer wolves, but there were actually a group of them.

Wang Wei's face darkened, and he found it very troublesome. At this time, the term environmental protection had not yet been born. Tigers, wolves, and bears were running around all over the mountains. In the counties near the Qinling Mountains, there were only a handful of tigers in the city.

In front of the official road, where the traveler was blocked, there was a group of hungry wolves, surrounded by them, was a dead horse whose skin and flesh had been gnawed off.The size of the horse corpse was limited, and only the strongest wolves could squeeze in front of the horse and bury their heads in the horse corpse. Strips of flesh and blood were torn off, and the sound of crunching and crunching bones made one's teeth sore.The rest of the hungry wolves kept spinning around the periphery, their eyes glistening with green light. From time to time, a few of them wanted to squeeze into the inner circle to get a share of the pie, but were immediately slapped back with a paw.

And the dead horse's neck was still tied with a rein, and the runaway carriage was beside the dead horse, surrounded by wolves.Besides the pack of wolves, there were five or six two-wheeled carriages of the same shape as the one in the pack of wolves, and all the people in the carts got off. Fifteen or six people, male and female, were all watching anxiously. Holding the carriage among the wolves, he wanted to go forward, but he didn't dare, he was always hesitating.

"There are people in the car." Cui Yingluo quickly regained her composure and said calmly.

"Yeah." Wang Wei nodded, he saw and heard it too.A group of hungry wolves that could not eat meat circled around the dead horse and the carriage, and there were always a few impatiently wanting to jump on the carriage.The curtain at the door of the carriage was shaking non-stop, and the screams passed through the curtain and faintly reached the ears of the onlookers. <The season is not suitable for foraging, and there are few large packs of wolves.Most of the wolves I see on weekdays are lone wolves, and at most three or five go out together. When I see people, they often run away from a distance, and they don't dare to stay long on the thoroughfare where people come and go.

But this time, such wolves rarely appeared on the official road. The more mouths they eat, the less food they find. It is the same whether it is a wolf or a human.There must be a reason for gathering such a large group of hungry wolves this time.

"These beasts were all attracted by blood." Cui Yingluo became more and more calm, and the meticulous observation skills cultivated since childhood quickly explained the reason. Her calmness made Wang Wei look at her in surprise, but He admired this girl more and more, and before he knew it, he no longer really regarded this 15-year-old girl as a child.

After Wang Wei heard Cui Yingluo's words, he also took a closer look, only to find that there was a long line of bloodstains on the official road, and there were a pair of blurred ruts on both sides of the bloodstains.These dozen or so wolves were definitely not a group, but were attracted from all directions by the bloody smell.That convoy hadn't left its wounded horses sooner when the wolves appeared, and it's only now being mobbed.

Wang Wei looked at the carriage surrounded by wolves and shook his head. The situation is not good right now.The people in the compartment did not abandon the car early, which was the biggest mistake.The nature of wolves is to fear people, and the few lone wolves at the beginning would never dare to fight people.The people in the car got out of the car and could walk straight ahead.With horse carcasses to attract the attention of wolves, people will be all right.But time dragged on little by little, and more and more hungry wolves arrived. At this time, it has become a situation where they can't leave even if they want to.

And as the bloody smell drifted farther and farther, skinny wolves that were so hungry that they had only a few bones left kept rushing up from the field beside the official road.Just for a moment while Wang Wei waited here, the number of wolves increased by another three or four.If it drags on, a dead horse will definitely not be enough for more and more hungry wolves to eat.At that time, the wolves that have been stimulated will definitely start attacking other horses and humans, and the convoy may all be buried in the belly of wolves.

"Awei, what should we do?" Cui Yingluo asked Wang Wei's idea.There is a hint of dissuasion in her words, the so-called son of a thousand gold, does not live up to the family, she and Wang Wei are both from aristocratic families, enjoyed the glory and wealth since childhood, and the dangers encountered are few and far between, like what happened now , it's better not to worry about it, even if the carriage among the wolves is indeed very prominent, it may be a nobleman.

Cui Yingluo saw Wang Wei's expression was calm, but she couldn't figure out what this man was thinking. She suggested, "If you want to save someone, you might as well go back to the town you just passed by and look for rescuers. As long as a team of people comes , I can definitely drive these beasts away."

After all, she is a young girl. Although she is calm on the surface, she is a little cowardly after all, because her suggestion is meaningless. If the rescuers are really called, everyone will be eaten up... Wang Wei thought in his heart, but he I also agree with Cui Yingluo's idea. In fact, if it is a group of hungry wolves without food, Wang Wei will not join in the fun, so as not to trap himself, but since there is a dead horse for the wolves to eat, there is no need to be afraid of the wolves. Have the leisurely mind to attack yourself.

So his heart moved, and he suddenly said with pride: "Isn't it just dozens of wolves? They have something to eat next to them, so there is nothing to be afraid of, Yingluo, bring your bow!"

It is undeniable that Wang Wei's posture at this time was extremely heroic, and the people around him couldn't help admiring Wang Wei's confident words:

"As expected of a student of Taixue, his courage is astonishing, even a pack of hungry wolves are not afraid!"

"Looking at his demeanor, he must be a descendant of an aristocratic family. With this young hero, God bless my Tang Dynasty!"

……

Cui Yingluo was also infected by Wang Wei's attitude, and a gleam of light flashed in her beautiful eyes. Although she advised the two of them to stay away from danger, she also hoped to see her man brave, but Wang Wei did not let She was disappointed, and she took the bow for Wang Wei according to Wang Wei's instructions.

With the hard bow in his hand, he flicked the bowstring casually. The buzzing sound indicated that his two-stone longbow was in good condition. Wang Wei only felt a sense of familiarity welling up, and the memories of the past ten years of bowing and horses flooded his mind. , and the calluses on these well-maintained hands are not fake, he is a typical Tang Dynasty scholar, with excellent literary talent and martial arts, and he will be able to make appearances in the future.

Cui Yingluo seemed to have thought of something, but she leaned closer to Wang Wei's ear and whispered, "Awei, are you always so enthusiastic?"

Wang Wei knew that the girl thought of the scene where he risked nothing to save her before, and then contacted today's matter, he whispered frankly: "You are different Yingluo, what I did today is to make a name for myself in Chang'an , if the person I save is a noble person, it will be beneficial to me."

Cui Yingluo was stunned, but she didn't expect that this guy's heroic and brave appearance before was just a fake, and he saved people for the reward of others!

But this is in line with Cui Yingluo's value orientation. If Wang Wei is really that kind of upright and honest person, she will worry about her future instead.

In order to relax his mind, Wang Wei joked again: "I hope there is a beauty in the car who is more beautiful than Yingluo, and my hard work is not in vain."

Cui Yingluo was upset, although she thought it was cute for the quiet Wang Wei to make a little joke, but she still said coldly: "It's definitely not a beauty, most of it is an old bone."

"Do you have clairvoyance?" Wang Wei muttered, but he felt that the old bones were also good, preferably the famous old bones.

"I can think of it... that car is the owner of the entire team, and he is still a man of the same nature. As for the last car, judging by its appearance and markings, it is different from the previous team. It is probably implicated. Yes." Cui Yingluo speculated calmly.

At this moment, Wang Wei prepared his hard bow, but he already faintly agreed with Cui Yingluo's words in his heart. He said lightly, "What Yingluo said is not bad, there are so many people around this road, if only the people in the car have the right to make decisions, The people in the convoy should have come out to offer rewards to drive away the wolves long ago. But their master didn’t say anything, and none of the servants below would dare to do it for them..."

"That's exactly the reason." Cui Yingluo had a smug look on her face, obviously feeling that her reasoning was very powerful.

Wang Wei couldn't help attacking: "It's also possible that the wife of the high-ranking official Xianda's family came out for an outing, and then encountered this incident. The woman's heart was soft and she didn't want to abandon the injured horse. That's why this disaster happened."

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Cui Yingluo to reply, but just raised his bow and drove his horse forward.After more than 20 steps, he pulled the mount horizontally, and stretched his bow and arrow on the horse.Wang Wei's actions attracted the attention of all onlookers, and the members of the motorcade also let out low cheers.

Some of the women's relatives looked at Wang Wei with reverence and eagerness. They looked like frail scholars, but they had such courage.
