Chapter 28: Wolves
On the night in the deep mountains, Zhou Dao sat alone on a stone and looked at the fire in front of him. The red flames shone on his face, making Zhou Dao feel like he was dreaming. Just as Zhou Dao was pondering at the flames, Zhang Wutao came back, carrying two hares in his hand.
"I'm back so soon, senior brother is so amazing." Zhou Dao complimented.
"It's not a small idea to catch two rabbits." Zhang Wutao was a little proud.
Zhang Wutao looked around and soon found the medicine powder on the ground.
"What is this?"
"I scattered it, which can drive away some bugs."
Although she was curious, Zhang Wutao did not ask again.
It was obviously not the first time Zhang Wutao spent the night in the barren mountains, and soon the two rabbits started roasting on the fire. Zhou Dao also took one and flipped it like Zhang Wutao. When the roasting was almost done, Zhang Wutao took salt from his arms and sprinkled it on it.
Although the rabbit was a little black, Zhou Dao subconsciously swallowed his saliva while smelling the fragrance from it. Looking at Zhang Wutao, it was almost the same.
"Okay, it should be cooked." Zhang Wutao took out a dagger and cut it into pieces and tasted it.
In this way, the two of them started to chew on a rabbit with smoke.
"By the way, senior brother, I still have some food in my bag and a bottle of wine." Zhou Dao was willing to chew on it and took out things from the bag.
Two rolls of big cakes, two large pieces of beef, and a gourd wine were placed on the ground one by Zhou Dao.
"Why do you bring these things? I remember you don't look like a drunkard." Zhang Wutao frowned at his junior brother.
"Aren't I afraid of not having food on the road? These wines were given to me by those outer disciples, so I couldn't refuse and accepted them." Zhou Dao smiled.
"How can I use a gourd to fill it?"
"I originally used a bottle, but I saw that the bottle was not strong and I was afraid that it would break, so I found a gourd and poured it in."
Zhang Wutao curled his lips speechlessly and did not speak, but pulled the lid and took a big sip.
"Yeah, it's not bad. Why don't these guys give me such good wine?" After saying that, he picked up the beef from the paper bag on the ground and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
"Hey, senior brother, don't finish drinking, leave some for me." Zhou Dao saw Zhang Wutao drinking again, and rushed forward and snatched it.
"Don't rob, don't rob? What kind of wine does the kid drink? Be careful when I go back, I will tell the master."
"When I came, I said I brought a lot of things, and now I want to grab my things, so I'm still my senior brother." After that, I quickly took a big sip.
Soon, a bottle of wine and things on the ground, and the two roasted rabbits were eaten clean by them. Seeing Zhou Dao's appearance, Zhang Wutao asked curiously, "I'm talking about junior brother?"
"What are you doing?" Zhou Dao wiped his mouth and said.
"Why do you eat so much? It's more than my senior brother. Don't you eat like this?"
"Yes." Zhou Dao was a little embarrassed.
"No, why do you eat so much?" Zhang Wutao was a little puzzled.
"Hehe, I don't know that it may be because I consumed a lot when I was practicing." Zhou Dao did not explain.
"Okay, you've been running for a day today and you're tired. Let's take a break for a while. I'll come back in the middle of the night." Zhang Wutao said to Zhou Dao and sat cross-legged beside the fire.
Zhou Dao did not refuse, and he was indeed a little tired. He found a clean place next to the fire and fell asleep.
In fact, it was not the first time Zhou Dao spent the night in a barren mountain. When he left home, Zhou Dao followed his master for more than ten days. Although he had a master to take care of him at that time, he basically found an inn on the road and rarely spent the night in a barren mountain. But after all, he had experienced it. In addition, there was a senior brother next to him to watch the night. So Zhou Dao had no psychological burden and lying on the ground for a while before falling asleep.
When Zhou Dao woke up, it was still dark, but the stars in the sky had faded. It seemed that it was in the second half of the night. The senior brother was adding materials to prevent the fire from extinguishing.
Rubbing his eyes and angrily, Zhou Dao stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother, go and rest."
"Have you had a good rest?" After all, Zhou Dao was out for the first time, and Zhang Wutao was a little worried.
"It's okay, I'll have a good rest. I'll be no longer sleepy. Senior brother, go and rest, I'll see you."
"Well, then you should be careful. I'll sleep for a while." Zhang Wutao snored quickly while lying on the ground.
Zhou Dao looked around and felt that nothing was wrong. He added another piece of material, then sat next to the fire and roasted the fire. Soon the stars in the sky faded and the surroundings became dark. Zhou Dao knew that dawn was coming. This was the last dark night before dawn.
Zhou Dao's heart hopped suddenly in the darkness, and a dangerous feeling came to his heart. This was a feeling I had never had before. Even when I followed the man in black last time, I didn't feel this way. Last time it was just a stimulation. This time it was dangerous.
Zhou Dao knew that he was mentally keen and should not be wrong.
Close your eyes and your spirit spreads around like a tide. When your ears move, it is the sound of birds flying away. It is not a bird but many birds. There must be problems if there is any problem.
The surroundings were also very quiet, without any movement, too quiet. There was a little sign of the storm before the coming. The sense of touch continued to spread and soon reached its limit. Zhou Dao also faintly felt something. It seemed that something was surrounding him and Zhang Wutao. The chills emanating from these things made Zhou Dao know that he and Zhang Wutao were a little bad this time.
Zhou Dao carefully came to Zhang Wutao's side and touched it gently. Zhang Wutao opened his eyes immediately.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Wutao asked in confusion.
"We seem to be surrounded by something." Zhou Dao looked solemn.
Zhang Wutao looked at Zhou Dao's expression and didn't look like a joke. He quickly sat up and asked in a low voice: "What's going on."
"I feel like something is surrounding us."
"No, why didn't I feel it?" Zhang Wutao was very confused.
"I won't feel wrong." Zhou Dao said as he added materials to the fire.
"It's wrong, I feel something is wrong," Zhang Wutao also felt it.
Zhang Wutao carefully pulled out the knife and turned around and asked, "Do you know what it is?"
"I don't know, but I don't look like a human." Zhou Dao also pulled out the sword at this time.
The actions of the two men made the things around them know that they had been discovered. It would be meaningless to hide them. So they approached each other one by one.
A rustling sound rang around. Zhou Dao and Zhang Wutao looked around with their backs against their backs, and soon one by one appeared.
"No, it's a pack of wolves." Zhang Wutao's expression on his face was a little solemn.
