Chapter 40

"Ah!" With Ma Lian'er's scream and cooperation, Yang Ling finished speaking "The Record of the Unjust Ghosts". Hey! He was really accomplished. Ma Lian'er shrunk in horror, like a little quail, and finally saved some face for "A Chinese Odyssey".

Yang Ling smiled with satisfaction and looked at the innocence of the cave. Although there was no sunshine, the dark cold air had already brought a hint of morning breath.

Ma Lian'er was still shaking in her robe. Maybe it was frozen or frightened. Yang Ling patted her shoulder with a funny look and said, "It's dawn, we're going to get through it."

"It's dawn?" Ma Lian'er poked his head out of his arms and looked at the clear light at the entrance of the cave greedily. It's good that it's dawn, but it's not afraid of it. I know a lot about this damn scholar story, but it's so refreshing.

Yang Ling laughed in his heart and talked about the modified version of "Record of Ghosts", "Sakura Lihun", and "17 Boys' Dormitory". To be honest, even he was a little bit fancy.

Noting a smile on his lips, Ma Lian'er gave him a hateful look and said angrily: "Did you mean it?"

Yang Ling was stunned. Her attitude was not right. Perhaps she had been lying in her arms for too long. One side of her cheeks was pressed red, her hair was scattered, adding a bit of charming charm, like a wife who had just gotten up lazy, with her coquettish expression very charming.

Yang Ling quickly turned around, moved his numb limbs and slowly drilled out of the snow nest. The dark night was like a net in the fisherman's hand, slowly disturbing it. The sky and the earth were covered with silver gray, and the sun had not yet come out, but the horizon was already a little white.

It's so cold and cold, without a trace of sunshine. For hungry people, it feels like going to hell. Looking around, I don't know where I am. There is no sunshine in the snow-covered mountains and forests, and I can't tell the direction.

Ma Lian'er also crawled out of the snow nest, looked around, and said happily: "Fortunately it was not cloudy. Although the sun had not come out, you can see that it was southeast, west and north. Follow me, as long as you crawl out of the forest, we will have hope to go back."

The two of them could no longer have the life to stay in the mountains and forests for another night, and they had to leave as soon as possible while they still had the strength to leave. After a night of hardship, their physical strength was no longer as good as before, so they had to support each other, walking slowly along a frozen stream, one foot deep and one foot shallow. Ma Lian'er walked side by side with him, just like a pair of companions who were looking for plum blossoms on the snow.

The stream can no longer see its true appearance. The thick snow on it is like a winding road in the mountains and forests. Only the occasional ridges of ice on the shore remind people that this was once a rushing stream. The breeze blew, causing the snow foam from the trees to pour into people's necks, and occasionally the sound of birds flying by on the trees.

After walking for more than half an hour, the two of them left the dense forest and came to a snow-sloping slope with sparse trees. They looked up and stretched from the west to the northeast. The mountains that were not too high were scattered and rolling. In addition to the gray-black trunks, the mountains were covered with white and silver.

The first ray of sunshine burst out, bringing a hint of warmth to the two of them. They were about to continue walking forward in one go, a squirrel jumped through the eyes, stepped on a line of shallow footprints on the boundless snow, dragging its big furry tail into a snow cave.

Ma Lianer was overjoyed and quickly shook Yang Ling's hand away, jumped over, lay on the snow and watched for a while, then pulled up with her hands regardless of the cold. Yang Ling followed her with a wry smile and said helplessly: "Miss, are you still catching squirrels at this time?"

Ma Lian'er lay there like a puppy digging the snow, and said panting: "Big idiot, please dig it for me quickly. There must be food in the squirrel hole. A squirrel hole can produce several kilograms of food. Dig it out. Even if we can't get out today, we will not starve to death."

Yang Ling slapped his forehead and threw down the stick in his hand to help dig it up. The two of them first removed all the snow and pried the stick three times before digging the frozen soil. The squirrel had already escaped from another hole. Its cave was very deep. Yang Ling reached in and rubbed his cheeks with mud, so he took out many dried fruits such as hazelnuts, millet, hawthorn and other wishes.

The two of them knelt on the snow excitedly and checked the spoils. Yang Ling picked up two millet pieces, wiped them on the lapel, and handed them one to Ma Lian'er. The two greedily chewed off the peel and chewed the frozen millet pieces until they were chuckled.

Yang Ling looked at Ma Lian'er with a smile, chewing on the sweetness of her mouth, and was about to praise her for a few words, but suddenly she saw Ma Lian'er's face change drastically and turned snow-white. Yang Ling looked behind her terrified gaze, and her heart suddenly sank. Wolf! The four wolves are bigger and more powerful than the one I saw yesterday.

The four wolves took light steps and rushed towards the two of them step by step. Yang Ling suddenly stood up. The four wolves, one in front of three behind, were lined up in triangles and approached step by step. The white fangs and fierce eyes were terrifying.

Ma Lian'er also trembled and got up, looked at the approaching wild wolf in despair, and suddenly shouted: "Yang Ling!"

Yang Ling was pulled toward her body with a strong force, and she met Ma Lian'er's flushed face and her eyes that contained some emotions. She rushed over and hugged Yang Ling tightly, and said tremblingly: "Yang Ling, hold me!" She hugged Yang Ling with trembling body, and searched for his lips with rapid breathing.

The four wolves paused for a moment because of the strange behavior of these two creatures. The head wolf let out a threatening low howl, and then gradually accelerated, fifteen zhang, ten zhang, and five zhang, entering the prelude to hunting. Its strong and powerful hind legs shrank and were about to rise into the air.

At this moment, a sharp arrow flew out from nowhere, and pierced through the abdomen of the wolf with great force. The arrows were very powerful, and the arrows burst out and pierced into the snow. The wolf let out a long howl, and his limbs trembled and fell on the snow, and the blood quickly dyed red.

Because of this scream, Yang Ling and the other two suddenly turned their heads and looked at them. Three wild wolves stopped because of the arrows of the head wolf. They roared around looking for the source of the threat. They turned around quickly, and the three wolves turned around and were about to escape.

At this time, three sharp arrows penetrated the forest and shot three wolves one by one with great accuracy. The smallest wolf was carried out by the arrow and rolled out, jumped into the air, then fell to the ground and disappeared without breathing.

Yang Ling and Ma Lianer were both surprised and happy, looking for their savior. The hillside was covered in white, and their eyes were dazzling by the rising sun. Yang Ling narrowed his eyes and soon found several figures exposed under the birch trees on the side of the slope, and walked towards the two of them step by step.

There were four people in total, a burly man in front of his head, wearing a gray-green straight gray man, probably in his forties, with a piece of ragged animal skin obliquely on his upper body, a hunting longbow on his back, and an iron fork in his hand.

The three people behind were the oldest in their early twenties, carrying a bow and carrying three or four long feathers shivering in the wind. The youngest was a little guy with a sturdy red and round face. Although it was dirty, it was as strong as a stone pier.

He was only twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a torn sheepskin coat, carrying a bow, and holding a wounded little deer with a rope in his hand. His short legs were stumbled in the snow thicker than his knees, and he also turned around from time to time to knock on the butt of the deer who refused to walk with the stick in his hand.

The young man in his early 20s and handsome looked at Yang Ling and asked another young man who was younger than him and had only a few light hairs on his lips to clean up the wolf corpse. He pulled out an arrow from the wolf corpse, rubbed blood on the wolf skin, and then inserted it back into the quiver. He knocked hard on the wolf that was not dead, then took out a rope to tie the legs of the four wolf together.

The middle-aged man walked up and down to Yangling and looked at the two of them. The man's face was rubbing with mud, but his temperament was like a scholar. The woman's clothes were in a mess, but her clothes were exquisite, and her eyebrows, eyes and facial features were not like those of a mountain person. He asked suspiciously: "Who are you? Why did you come to the wild forest in Wuzhaling?"

Seeing that he had a beard, although he was rough and uninformed, he looked righteous and calm, and he felt a little relieved, but he still had some care in this wilderness and did not dare to tell the truth to this strong elephant man.

He bowed and said, "We, brother and sister, went to Jiming Post to visit relatives. When we met officers and soldiers and Tartars on the way, we fled here. Thank you for helping us."

"Hehe, brother and sister? This big brother, I saw you kissing me just now," the stubborn little guy chased after me and stomped on Xue. He stomped on his legs and tied two more animal skins on it. His body, which was not very short, made him look short and very cute.

Yang Ling and Ma Lian'er's faces flushed, and the middle-aged strong man shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, go and help your brother tie up the prey."

The little guy stuck out his tongue and said dissatisfiedly: "Originally, they kissed. I saw it, the eldest brother saw it, the second brother saw it, and the father saw it, too."
