The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 81 The Human-Wolf Conflict
Sun Xu stood in front of Han Zitong, but she was in a daze, her mind was full of the grandma that Sun Xu called just now.

The old wolf was very close at that time, and Han Zitong could see that its white fur was not at all variegated, except for a strand of black hair in the middle of its forehead.Han Zitong suddenly remembered some folk legends he had heard before.She often travels north and south, dealing with fellow villagers from all over the world, and has heard a lot of anecdotes and folklore, one of which is about the white-haired wolf.

It is said that if a wolf has lived for a long time and has become human, its fur will gradually fade, and when the whole body turns white, the wolf can take the shape of a human.And the white wolf in front of her was covered in fur as white as snow, only a streak of black remained in the middle of her forehead. She couldn't help wondering whether the huge old wolf in front of her was the legendary wolf spirit.

The old wolf seemed to be able to hear Sun Xu's words, and there was a low howl in his throat. Sun Xu heard it and howled too. The sound was the same as a real howl of a wolf. A conversation in wolf language.

Han Zitong just sat there, unable to recover for a long time.

After a while, the white-haired wave rushed out of the door and disappeared without a trace.

Sun Xu pulled Han Zitong up from the ground with a face full of guilt, and said worriedly, "Did I scare you?"

Han Zitong pulled his hair, took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and asked, "What's going on? What's going on? That wolf... that wolf... the grandma you're talking about, is that it? "

Sun Xu nodded and said, "Zitong, I know this is too incredible, so I have never dared to let others know. Don't worry, let me tell you slowly, okay?" After all, Han Zitong loves Sun Xu , After the initial panic and madness, she calmed down and began to listen to Sun Xu talk about the cause and process of the incident.

This existence was actually inhabited more than 20 years ago, and there were quite a lot of people at that time.

People in the mountains don't have much awareness of contraception. They give birth as soon as they are pregnant. Every family has a lot of children. When they encounter a child with a problem, they have to throw it away.When Sun Xu was born, he must have been in the mother's womb for a long time, his whole body turned blue, he vented a lot and breathed less, so he was also thrown out.

Wrapped in a dirty cloth, it was thrown into a place called Xiaguang Cave.According to ancient legend, the place was inhabited by mountain spirits. In fact, some people in the village visited it. It was just an empty space. Later, they liked to throw their children there. Over time, the villagers called it "Baby Cave".

Sun Xu was able to survive, so he was rescued. As long as he can remember, he lived with his grandma.Grandma hid in the cave during the day and never went out, only coming out at night.It was a wolf during the day and a human at night. When it was a wolf, occasionally when the weather was fine, it would play with Sun Xu in the mountains on its back. When it became a human at night, it would tell stories to Sun Xu and teach him to read and write.

Sun Xu had never been in contact with other human beings, so he naturally didn't know how frightening it was for an old woman who could turn into a wolf or a human.

In fact, Sun Xu didn't know at that time that the wolf hadn't really turned into a human, and the process of getting along with the human grandma every night that he thought was actually completed in a dream.A wolf is always a wolf, but at night, it will enter Sun Xu's dream in the image of an old grandmother and give him everything to be a man.

There are countless legends about ghosts entering dreams, because ghosts cannot directly transform into human forms, so they are very good at confusing people. The so-called confusion refers to things like hallucinations or dreams.

Sun Xu gradually grew up, and became more and more active. When playing, he ran farther and farther. Finally, one day, he broke into the village and met other people of the same kind except grandma.The arrival of this strange child, Sun Xu, naturally attracted the attention of the villagers, who asked him about his origin.

Sun Xu answered one by one, saying that he was picked up by his grandma in the cave, and he lived with his grandma in a certain place. When the villagers heard this, their expressions suddenly changed. That cave was the hole where the villagers threw their children.Could it be that this child was a doll who was lucky enough to survive and was picked up by the old man to raise him.

Someone asked Sun Xu how old he was, and Sun Xu answered that he was 11 years old.

Eleven years ago, two children were thrown in the village, one was a stillborn baby, and the other was a baby boy from Lao Sun's family, and this child's surname was Sun...

The more people thought about it, the more bizarre it became. If it was a child picked up by an old man, how could it happen that the surname was Sun?Could it be that the old man actually knew the real identity of this child?Besides, the parents of Old Sun's family couldn't help being both happy and ashamed when they saw that Sun Xu's body was strong.

There is a common saying that troublesome people come out of poor mountains and rivers. This is not to discriminate against the poor, but an appropriate living situation.The more difficult it is for people to survive, the more they value the benefits of survival. Many people who sell their sons and daughters, or commit crimes, are often in poor conditions, and in good conditions, who will do this?
So Sun Xu's parents are also very realistic people. This mountain village is too poor, and boys aged eleven or twelve can already work as laborers.No, this game has to be recognized. Immediately, the recognition scene was staged on the spot.

Sun Xu was terrified, waved his hands quickly, and said: "No, no, I have to go back to accompany grandma, otherwise grandma will be angry, and grandma will be scared when she is angry." When grandma is angry, she will grab him by the collar He was thrown back and forth, and then he was thrown off the mountain cape, causing his nose to be bruised and his face swollen.

Besides, there are so many people in this village, and there is only grandma in the cave. If I don't go back to the cave, grandma will be so lonely.

Han Xu insisted on going back, so the Sun family's parents discussed, why not visit the old lady and see what happened.During this process, Sun Xu never mentioned that grandma was a wolf, because he thought that.This is a very normal thing, so normal that there is no need to explain it at all.

However, because of this, when the Sun family members followed Han Xu back to the cave and saw an old wolf lying in the cave, one can imagine how frightened they were.The old wolf didn't expect that Sun Xu would bring outsiders, so he jumped up in anger, and the wolf's claws were so sharp that he scratched several people and drove them out of the cave.

In fact, the old wolf could have killed them, but it didn't.

It is said that the longer the ghost is, the more taboo it is to kill. The white-haired wolf has been a vegetarian since Sun Xu could remember, often gnawing grass or wild fruits in the mountains, let alone biting people.After driving the people away, the old wolf left and took Han Xu to move to a cave on the other side of the mountain.

However, the Sun family didn't intend to let it go. Firstly, he was injured and couldn't hold his breath. Secondly, his heart was full of flesh. No matter how ruthless he was, he was still his own child after all. Could it be that he was really allowed to be with a wolf?Thirdly, fur trading was still very popular at that time, and the people in the mountains got a bad idea and wanted to hunt wolf furs.

There are actually quite a few wild wolves in this mountain, but this is the first time I've seen a wolf as good as a white-haired wolf.After being black-hearted, the Sun family began to lobby in the village. It is not clear how the lobbying process was, but in the end they formed a wolf-fighting team.

These mountain people, who had been in the mountains for a long time, knew how to search for clues to animals. Two days later, they blocked Sun Xu's new nest.Seeing this, Sun Xu shouted old-fashionedly: "This cave is my residence, you leave quickly."

The Sun family's father said: "You desperate child, come here quickly, we brought a shotgun this time, and we promise to kill that old wolf." Sun Xu was startled when he heard that grandma was going to be killed, and hurried to the cave. Li ran: "Grandma, grandma, there are bad people outside who want to kill you."

The old wolf lying in the cave got up, gave a trembling sound to the white wolf, stared at the outside of the cave with cold wolf eyes, and walked out step by step.When Sun Xu was about to follow, the old wolf turned his head and yelled at him, signaling him to stay in the cave.

Immediately afterwards, the old wolf walked out.

Sun Xu heard that there was a lot of movement outside. He was a child after all, so he couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he rushed out.Unexpectedly, those villagers were 'teased' by the old wolf, each of them was injured, and his eyes were red. One of them was full of flesh, and he was domineering in the village on weekdays. He used brute force to beat his own children. A blood mark, let alone someone else's child, a wild child who hangs out with wolves.

The man's eyes turned red, seeing that Sun Xu was actually cheering the old wolf on the sidelines, he shouted angrily, while the old wolf was dealing with other people, he slammed around and kicked at Sun Xu.

An adult who was close to 1.9 meters tall kicked Sun Xu's chest, and the result can be imagined.Sun Xu was kicked out three to five meters, and his head was slammed on a raised stone, bleeding profusely.

The old wolf was shocked, left the crowd and rushed to Sun Xu's side, stuck out his tongue to lick, but just after licking, he heard two gunshots, all of which hit the old wolf.

Those who fired the shotguns were father and son, who often hunted in the mountains, and their accuracy was excellent. The two coincidentally aimed at the old wolf's lifeline, which was the position of the wolf's head.
