ancient female doctor

Chapter 618
"What's wrong?" Qing Zhu was startled suddenly, her emotions were interrupted suddenly, she raised her head and looked towards the direction from which the voice came.

Xiaobai squatted on the ground, signaling Qingzhu to sit on his back, and when Qingzhu sat firmly, he ran towards the direction of the sound with an awow.

As soon as Xiaobai moved, several wild wolves who had been guarding the vicinity rushed out after Xiaobai.

When they arrived at the place, Qingzhu saw that Yang Shisan and Yang Qiba were already there, and there was a bloody man lying on the ground.There are more than a dozen wild wolves around, staring at each other.

"What's going on?" Qingzhu got off Xiaobai's back, walked to the side of the lying person, looked at Yang Shisan, and asked.

"I'm not sure, we just arrived." Yang Shisan said, squatting down and searching the bloody man lying there.

Yang Shisan frowned and said, "Although I don't know who this person is, it's obvious that he is not a good person. He is in this wilderness. He is sleeping near us again, he might not be a good person, but I don’t know if he intends to harm us.”

How can you tell that these people are planning to harm us?
Qingzhu thought about it, but didn't ask.

"I just discovered a few semi-finished traps. It seems that someone is indeed eyeing us. We need to be more vigilant. At night, let's take turns keeping watch." The smile on Yang Qiba's face has long since disappeared. Yang Shisan said.

"Yes." Yang Shisan nodded.

"No need, Xiaobai is here..." Qingzhu said, turning her head to Xiaobai.

As if knowing that Qingzhu would look at him, Xiaobai nodded slightly.

Then roared a few times, and the wolves disappeared into the night again.

"Are these wild wolves sent out to search and guard?" Yang Shisan looked at Xiaobai and asked.

Obviously, Xiaobai was a little reluctant to answer Yang Shisan's words, and nodded after a long time.

"Then let's go back first. With them here, we should be fine. The wolves are much more vigilant than us." Yang Shisan said, walking in another direction.

Yang Qiba followed, and after walking a few steps, he turned his head and smiled at Qingzhu, explaining, "Let's go and bring back the firewood we just picked up, soon, the county master, please wait."

Accompanied by Xiaobai and guarded by several wild wolves, Qingzhu returned to the sheltered mountain col, filled a water bag with water, and refolded a paper pot.

As soon as the paper pot was folded, Yang Shisan and Yang Qiba came back.

Yang Shisan was empty-handed, and Yang Qiba carried two large bundles of dry firewood by himself, holding a handful of weeds in his hands.

The venison roasted for Xiaobai was still half-baked, and Qingzhu asked Yang Qiba to leave half a hare and half a chicken, baked a few more cakes, and burned a paper pot of water. After walking in the col for a while, I planned to rest earlier.

Although the mountain col was leeward, Qingzhu and the others also brought marching blankets, but it was still a bit cold. Fortunately, there was a fire to keep warm.

Xiaobai is not afraid of fire, he leans on the green bamboo, just like when he and Qingzhu used to collect medicine in Daqing Mountain, he uses his body to help the green bamboo to keep out the wind and keep warm.

In a dangerous location around, a few wild wolves were squatting, carefully buried in the grass and behind the stones, keeping vigil for Qing Zhu and the others.

More wild wolves were sent out by Xiaobai, scattered in the mountains, looking for the enemies hidden in the night.

This night, near this dark and quiet mountain depression, Qingzhu and the others could hear a scream from time to time in their dreams or half asleep.

There are voices from people, and there are also wailing from wolves.

Although such screams were intermittent, they lasted until the third watch, and then gradually disappeared. I don't know if all the enemies in the dark were wiped out by the wild wolves, or they retreated in spite of the difficulties.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Yang Qiba got up to light a fire, planning to make breakfast.

As for Yang Shisan, he went out and wandered around the area where they camped.

After Yang Qiba finished boiling water and roasted dry food, Yang Shisan came back.

As soon as Yang Shisan came back, he reported to Qingzhu: "Counting which one we saw, a total of eleven people died last night, and they all wore human face plaques, wooden plaques and bronze plaques."

"There are still a few places where there are traces of fighting and blood, but there are no corpses left. I also found a few crossbow arrows, which were stained with blood and stained with some fur. The fur looks like that of a wolf."

"I guess, it is very likely that someone was ambushing here in advance. I see, most of them intend to harm us, but I don't know where they come from, and how they know that we will pass by here."

Hearing Yang Shisan's words, Qingzhu thought for a while and said, "Could it be a coincidence? After all, we only came out of Shangjing for a day and a night. The speed of those wild wolves was already much faster than that of horses, and The horses will rest on the way, but the wild wolf has been running here without stopping."

"It's hard to say." Yang Shisan shook his head and said, "It's possible that someone rushes eight hundred miles to get ahead of us, but it's just a matter of killing a few horses.

"Didn't Yang Ba say that he found several semi-finished traps? Maybe our speed was too fast for those people to set them up in time. That's why they were broken by wild wolves so easily."

"Also, I guess they probably shot the bloody crossbow bolts on the wolves, and then those dead wolves were eaten by other wolves, so we didn't see the bodies."

In fact, there is one more thing that Yang Shisan did not say, that is, the dead people she found basically had no bones left, only tattered clothes and bloody wooden signs. It is very likely that the bodies of those people were also Eaten by wolves.

"It's possible." Qingzhu nodded and said.

Then, Qingzhu turned to look at Xiaobai, and asked: "Xiaobai, can you find out if any wild wolves disappeared last night? Or, can you find out whether those wolves that disappeared were killed by you after they died? The other wolves ate it?"

Xiaobai nodded to Qingzhu, then whined a few times, and called a few wild wolves not much smaller than him to come over.He whined a few more times at them, and then the wolves left.

Not long after, the wild wolves who had left came back and howled at Xiao Bai.

Xiaobai and Yelang whimpered at each other for a while, then walked back to Qingzhu's side.

"Did you ask clearly?" Qingzhu looked at Xiaobai and asked.

Xiaobai didn't answer Qingzhu right away, but turned his head and looked at Yang Shisan and Yang Qiba, with some ferocity in his eyes.

Yang Qiba and Yang Shisan's bodies tensed up immediately, and they put their hands beside their weapons.

Qingzhu's heart trembled, and he immediately hid behind Xiaobai, followed by several wolves who were much bigger than the other wild wolves, and the wolves who were obviously the leaders also surrounded them, blocking Yang Shisan and Yang Qiba.
