The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 108 Human Nature

"Ow~"

The palpitating howls of wolves spread into the eardrums of the two people in the hole from far to near, piercing their hearts like sharp needles, which was indescribably strange and uncomfortable.

Zhang Yan found two rather sharp stones in the cave, and guarded the entrance of the cave with Yuan Shang on the left and right.

Because it is a grotto formed by the cracks in the mountain pass, the opening is not wide, and at most one person can enter at a time, and the road is quite slender.

It can be regarded as the luck of Yuan Shang and Zhang Yan. With such a stone cave that is easy to defend and difficult to attack as a cover, they are not afraid of the carpet-like attacks of wolves in the mountains.If they can last until dawn or wait until soldiers and horses come to rescue, the crisis can be easily resolved.

But Zhang Yan, who has been wandering in the mountains and forests all year round, knows very well that some things are not as simple as they say.

Wolves are difficult to deal with among the carnivorous beasts in the mountains and forests. Even big insects cannot be compared with them. They are in groups, they advance and retreat strictly, they are good at killing and catching, and they are insidious and cunning.Coupled with the keen sense of smell and strong adaptability, sometimes these terrifying things are even smarter than humans.

Now that I and the Yuan family boy are deeply trapped in the cave, although the terrain is favorable, it is really a question of how long we can defend against these terrifying beasts. Mouth, the tragic end of turning into animal dung.
Zhang Yan felt apprehensive, turned her head to look at Yuan Shang without leaving any trace, and unconsciously made up her mind.

Once you see the situation, use this kid as a back to feed the wolf, or you can find a way out for yourself.
In the face of the cruel nature, anyone is selfish and shameless, not for other reasons, just because of the innate survival instinct.

Sparse sounds spread to the eardrums of the two along the cold wind, among which were unavoidably mixed with a few low-pitched beast roars.

Obviously, the wolves had already lined up outside the cave, setting up their formation, but for some reason, they didn't rush to attack inside the cave.

Although the weather was cold, Yuan Shang still had a few drops of sweat dripping from his forehead in the face of this kind of fighting between humans and beasts. faint green light.

"They've already deployed troops outside the cave, why aren't they attacking? Could it be that they still want to wait for us to rush out?"

Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate these wild wolves. Although they are beasts, they are extremely sensitive and intelligent. The leader of the wolf king must have seen that the entrance of this cave is narrow, which is not conducive to their large-scale attack, so he ordered the wolves to stand upright and observe. , when there is a plan."

Yuan Shang nodded suddenly, and said again: "Wolf King, wouldn't he order to attack with fire?"

Zhang Yan was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help feeling deeply angry, and said through gritted teeth: "You said that's not a wolf king, but a wolf demon!"

"."

The pack of wolves watched for about three cups of tea outside the cave, and finally began to move. There was a sound of footsteps in the crack of the valley. With both eyes, the light claws moved slowly towards the hole, its sharp teeth bared slightly, and the saliva on the tongue flowed down the exaggerated jaw on the ground, making a slight echo drop by drop.

Although the entrance of the cave is narrow, the inside of the cave is wide. Soon, the huge head of the evil wolf protruded from the crack in the entrance of the cave, slowly revealing itself in front of the two of them. Stunned.

"Go to hell!"

Zhang Yan exploded in rage, and the sharp stone in his hand fell into the air, piercing the wolf's right eye fiercely. The iron sword of the wolf had already been stabbed out, and it pierced the wolf's neck and throat with a puff, and blood spurted out like a spring, stabbing the wolf to the ground fiercely, and died immediately.

Yuan Shang took a breath, and just about to say something, he saw Zhang Yan glanced outside the cave, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be careless, you kill their companions, these guys will never stop, this one is just a spy."

As soon as Zhang Yan finished speaking, he heard a burst of howls of "Aww~" from outside the cave. The sound was much shriller than before. It was obvious that the pack of wolves went mad because their companion died at the hands of the two.

Sure enough, after the howling, a row of muscular figures rushed towards the cave!

Thanks to the extremely narrow entrance of the cave, these wolves can only enter one by one. Otherwise, if it is in the wild plain, with the terrifying speed of these wolves flying, I am afraid that it will not take two cups of tea to eat the bones of the two. None left.

Zhang Yan and Yuan Shang tightened their expressions, blocked the opening of the crack with one left and one right, stabbed the sword and stone forward desperately, the blood of the beast immediately splashed, and the leading wolf was unrecognizably stabbed by the sharp weapon, and the blood flowed out. But he couldn't retreat yet, so he could only let his companions pass them and continue to pounce forward.

The attack of the wolves is not chaotic, but quite disciplined, one wave after another, one wave after another, but every time they attack, some wolves will be injured, or they will be stabbed in the throat and fall to the mouth of the valley dying, and then die .

The ferocity of these beasts is indeed remarkable. Seeing that many of their companions are dead, they are still going forward without fear.

After such three or five waves of attacks, the wolves left many corpses in the cracks at the entrance of the valley, while Yuan Shang and Zhang Yan were soaked in blood and exhausted, but they just stood motionless at the entrance of the cave like iron towers.

Because the two know that the narrow terrain of Taniguchi is the last barrier for their survival, once they lose it, they will end up dead without a whole body.

It wasn't until the seventh wave of attack was repulsed that there was no sound in the distance from the entrance of the cave, and the footsteps were faintly heard gradually moving away, as if a pack of wolves were running away.

Zhang Yan listened intently for a while, then moved, and carefully walked to the entrance of the cave while holding the stone, and looked outside, but it was quiet, and sure enough, there was no sign of the wolves.

Zhang Yan's tense face slowly relaxed, and hurried back into the cave, laughing happily: "Boy, the wolves seem to have withdrawn! We've made it through!"

Yuan Shang was relieved when he heard the words, walked to the stone wall with his sword, panted and sat down against the stone wall, and said with a smile: "It's good to withdraw, I have been beating wolf dogs all night, and the 36-way dog-beating stick is almost ready for me. Well, if this goes on like this, I guess I can be the leader of the gang of beggars."

Zhang Yan was in a good mood, and said: "Boy, I don't know when those beasts will come back, I'll lead you out, let's find a tall tree to hide for the night, and it won't be too late to make a fuss tomorrow morning."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a wolf's head drilled out of the weeds behind the stone wall where Yuan Shang was resting, with saliva overflowing from his mouth, and seeing the timing, he bit Yuan Shang's ankle viciously.

Yuan Shang and Zhang Yan were horrified!
In this stone wall, there is actually a small hole! ?

Yuan Shang hurriedly turned around and kicked the wolf's head hard and hard, but the wolf's bite was very tight, no matter how hard you kicked it, it would not let go.

Zhang Yan's heart tightened, knowing that since these beasts had found another hole, and the two sides were attacking each other, they would definitely come back soon!
If you take advantage of the present to escape, find a tall tree, and survive the night, it is much better than waiting here to die.The opportunity is fleeting, if he waits to turn around and save Yuan Shang, the pack of wolves may have already rushed back, and even he himself will not be able to get away.

Zhang Yan suffered repeated setbacks tonight, almost exhausting all the strength in his body, and for a moment he no longer had the strength to stay here to fight against the wolves. After all, his own life was at stake, so he had no choice but to slip away.

Zhang Yan glanced back at Yuan Shang in a hurry, and thought to himself: "Boy, I can't control you now, I can only talk about it first. If you are lucky, you can spend the night with the wolves in this cave. Tomorrow Maybe you can escape, or if you are divided and eaten by the wolves, God will destroy you. No problem with others. You sent troops to capture Laozi alive in the middle of the night, but now Laozi abandoned you and ascended to heaven. We are even, and Laozi left You have a clear conscience. You will be immortal under the Nine Springs, so don't resent me!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan didn't look at Yuan Shang anymore, and jumped into the crevice of the stone wall.

He stared hungrily at the majestic mountain forest not far from the cave in front of him, and couldn't help being excited. Tonight was full of twists and turns, ups and downs, and now he feels so relieved that it's hard to describe. He just wants to go to the top of the tree and hide later. , I laughed out loud three times first, and chatted to comfort myself.

Seeing Zhang Yan abandoning himself to run for his life without even saying hello, Yuan Shang was frightened and angry, gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Yan, you have the guts!"

This is human nature!

He wished he could jump over at this moment, and finish the bastard with his sword. Unfortunately, the situation was urgent, so he had to deal with the wolf that was biting his ankle first.

Zhang Yan felt ashamed and dared not answer, but hurried out of the cave.

I didn't expect that extreme joy would turn into sorrow. Just halfway through the gap, I saw that among the corpses of wolves stabbed to death by the two of them just now, a motionless wolf suddenly jumped up and bit his wrist, and the other wolf stood up tremblingly. , raised his head and roared towards the outside of the cave, and then rushed forward and grabbed Zhang Yan's legs. The two seriously injured wolves dragged Zhang Yan back, otherwise he would move half a step.

But outside the cave, there was a noisy running sound because of the wolf's call.
"How evil! How dare you pretend to be dead and plot against me!"

Zhang Yan's cold sweat suddenly poured down, the crack in the stone wall was narrow, at this moment he was dragged by two wolves, he could not get out, he couldn't get in, and after a while the pack of wolves came, he couldn't tear himself apart when he saw this situation. Into a thousand pieces! ?
"Bastard! Get out! Let go! Let go!" Zhang Yan roared, half desperate and half terrified, struggling desperately under the drag of two swindling wolves.

At this moment, Yuan Shang killed the wolf thief with a sword. Seeing that there was no support behind him, he thought that the pack of wolves attacked from the front again. Then he half-limped and injured his leg. He found a heavy stone to block the small hole, and then limped forward. to the entrance of the cave.What caught my eye was Zhang Yan being held back by the two wolves.

Yuan Shang was also shocked when he saw this scene, he slowly recovered, stared coldly at Zhang Yan who was about to abandon him just now, and said indifferently: "Old Yan thief, I once heard a saying when I was a child, it is called 'who Whoever laughs the last laughs the best. 'Today you are a little too complacent."

Zhang Yan was weak and weak, her complexion was unusually rosy due to exertion or emotion, and there were traces of sweat on the top of her head.

His face was twisted and deformed, he turned his head and stared at Yuan Shang, gnashing his teeth and said, "I don't need you to teach me, get out!"

Yuan Shang shook his head lightly, turned around and went back, guarding the entrance of the cave with his sword.

Just now he stood still, but he heard Zhang Yan's earth-shattering roar outside the cave, his voice was full of pain and despair.

Yuan Shang's heart trembled slightly.

Although this bastard is abominable, but without him, I would not be able to persist in the cave by myself.

He wanted to leave me just now, but it was a bit selfish, but looking at the past and present, there are a few people who are not like this, in fact, they are all human.What's more, he and I are enemies, if I were in his situation, would I be able to do better than him?

Throughout the ages, should everyone disregard their own comfort, disregard their own lives, and sacrifice themselves to do good deeds and learn from others?

**Not an ordinary person, but are there really so many supermen like him in the world?
In the final analysis, it is all about survival.How can there be so many living Bodhisattvas in the world?People are alive, and the person they can rely on in the end is actually only themselves.

If I just leave him alone like this, I'm right, but what Zhang Yan did just now is just a joke.
Yuan Shang laughed at himself: "My heart is still too soft, I have to save him once."

Zhang Yan's wailing roar kept echoing at the entrance of the cave.Given the traitor's always eye-to-eyes and domineering disposition, it wouldn't be like this unless he was at the end of his rope.

It's hard to express the feeling in Zhang Yan's heart seeing Yuan Shang still sticking to the cave in a good manner.In order to steal his life, he betrayed others first, and he gave up Yuan Shang in order to escape, and now of course he can't blame the other party for abandoning him.Hearing the sound of running in the distance getting closer, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will become the food of the pack of wolves.

Suddenly, Yuan Shang's voice rang in his ears.

"Why is this place so narrow? You bastard, turn sideways, I can't hit the wolf that bites you in front!"

Zhang Yan turned her head in astonishment, and saw Yuan Shang limping over behind him, and with the little strength left, he swung his long sword to kill the wounded wolf that was biting his hind leg.

Zhang Yan never dreamed that this kid would take the risk to come back to help her. She didn't know what to say for a while, looking at Yuan Shang, who was soaked in blood and still limping, Zhang Yan felt sore in his heart.

This young man who was betrayed by him just now turned around to save himself regardless of the danger! ?

Even though there are saints in this world who repay grievances with kindness, looking at this kid's face, he is definitely not like him. What's more, the two of them are deadly enemies of opposite camps, so what is he doing?
Yuan Shangke didn't expect Zhang Yan to have countless thoughts in his head in such a short time, he panted and took his sword to aim at the wolf that was still biting Zhang Yan's arm, and cursed: "You were bitten out of a mad dog? Are you foolishly waiting to die there, show me the way! I am so anxious that I will cut off the old bird under you!"

Zhang Yan was both ashamed and moved. He didn't care about Yuan Shang's scolding, and said with a wry smile: "Go back, I'm afraid I can't hold on anymore. It's considered that God treats me well to have you by my side when I die. You Don't worry about me, go back quickly, and when the wolves come over, you won't even be able to leave!"

Because of the narrow cave wall, Yuan Shang couldn't kill the hungry wolf in front of Zhang Yan, and he couldn't stand up because of the bleeding and pain in his feet. Hearing Zhang Yan's words, it was obvious that he wanted to give up hope, so he said anxiously and angrily: "You are sick. , Do dogs spit ivory? Don’t howl here, hurry up and work hard together, I can’t guard this hole alone!”

Zhang Yan stared at Yuan Shang's mouth trembling because of too much luck, seeing him risking his life to save the person who abandoned him just now, couldn't hold back his gratitude, and shouted with all his strength: "Dog Get lost, bastard, I don’t want your surname Yuan to save me even if I die.”

"frame--!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Yuan Shang punched Zhang Yan on the right eye socket with his left hand, directly shaved his black eyes, and his body fell back limply, making room for a gap.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yuan Shang stabbed out with a sword, which directly killed the wounded wolf holding Zhang Yan in front, and then quickly dragged Zhang Yan into the cave.

When she was young, Zhang Yan came to her senses, staring at Yuan Shang with one black eye socket, gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Little brat, why are you beating me?"

Yuan Shang looked at Zhang Yan angrily, and said, "This punch is a punishment for you leaving me in the cave and escaping by yourself, do you have any objection?"

Zhang Yan's face turned red when she heard the words, full of shame.

"No comment"

"frame--!"

Yuan Shang raised his fist and slashed Zhang Yan's other eye socket which was not blackened.

"Little bastard! Isn't the punishment over? You...why are you hitting me again?"

Yuan Shang carefully looked at Zhang Yan's two eye sockets that were completely blacked out, nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "The punch just now cut the eyes crookedly, I'm here to hug you right now."
