The boy is gone again.

The three wolves collided with each other, and their bodies suddenly sank into the snow, then leaped out with low roars, each running for more than ten steps before turning around, and letting out low roars uneasily.

At the same time, the other wolves also dispersed.

A big hole was revealed where the boy disappeared.

The boy was lying in the hole, a little stunned. It was not that he was thrown into it, but that he found that the wolves did not pounce in, but instead turned around from outside the hole, looking inside the hole, and then turning his head vigilantly.

Seeing this scene, he did not think about why the wolves acted so abnormally, but instead felt a little lucky and felt that he was inexplicably safe.

And after having a sense of security, he realized that he was very tired.

The actions that ordinary people could also do before had used all his strength.

Suddenly, the wolves outside the cave dispersed in shock and looked back vigilantly while running. At the same time, a muffled thunder sounded from the cave, and then a stinking gust of wind rushed out from the depths of the cave.

The boy finally noticed the abnormality.

What can scare those cruel wolves is naturally more cruel than those who are evil wolves.

This is a bear hole.

What was rushing out from the fishing storm was a black bear like a hill, with not only cruelty, but also anger in his eyes.

The great hibernation awakened the thin human, how can we not be angry?

The black bear was extremely fast and rushed from the depths of the hole in an instant. The boy could clearly see its long fangs and their eyes that were not very awake but absolutely angry...

The smelly wind seemed to have become a substantial existence at this moment, making the boy feel endless pressure and even difficulty breathing.

He clearly felt the breath of death, but there was no way, because he had no strength at all, even if it was the strength to turn over and avoid it.

And at this moment, the fierce and angry eyes of the black bear suddenly disappeared!

——When less than five steps away from the boy, an iron fork suddenly appeared on the black bear's face. The front end of the iron fork had already penetrated into the black bear's eyes, and the burnt yellow wooden handle, which was thick with the arm at the back, crossed the top of the boy's head and went outside the hole.

At the same time, the black bear's roar sounded in the hole, and there was a heavy breathing outside the hole.

Although he was stabbed in the eyes by an iron fork, the black bear rushed forward a little due to its own weight and speed of rushing out, and thrust at the young man's feet, thrusting a piece of gray dust, and the wooden handle as thick as an arm broke off when it pounced down.

The black bear roared in rage and pain, dark red blood flowed out of its eye sockets. It shook its head in despair, and its huge body turned sideways, and it was about to press the boy when it saw it.

At this time, a figure rushed out from outside the cave.

That was a dark young man.

The boy widened his eyes and watched the young man hit the black bear like a stone, and the simple iron knife in his hand stabbed into the white hair on the black bear's chest, without the hilt of the knife.

The black bear let out a long wail, then turned to a low whine, with blood flowing from his eyes and chest, and foaming in his mouth, gradually disappearing.

As soon as the entrance of the cave was dark, two figures flashed in.

"Finally caught it!"

This is a woman's voice, crisp and exciting.

"Isn't it broken?"

This is a man's voice, nervous and low.

The boy kept staring, quietly watching the scene in front of him, looking at the three young people who suddenly descended like gods.

One is a dark young man who killed the black bear, the other is a young man who came back into the hole and looked a little dull, and the other is a young girl.

“Huh?”

The girl saw the boy and said in surprise: "Is he really a human?"

The boy didn't understand what the girl said, but understood that the three young people in front of him were not gods, but just three ordinary people.

…………

warmth.

The red mixed with a little golden flame made the boy feel very warm. But what really made him warm were of course those bowls of bear broth and two dough cakes that were as hard as stones.

The three young men were all wearing animal skins on their upper body. The two men silently cleaned up the black bear, the three gray wolves who had lost their eyes before; the girl squatted beside the fire, looking at the boy with her chin, her eyes full of curiosity, or something else.

The boy didn't say anything, and the two men didn't say much, but the girl didn't say anything until now.

So the young man knew that the girl was named Xing'er, and both men were her brothers. The dark young man was the eldest brother Huzi, and the dull young man was the second brother Tie Niu.

He also knew that Xing'er and his sister were hunters from Daba Mountain. They had been chasing the black bear in the cave for a long time, but they had not accurately discovered the cave where it was hiding until today...

Of course, he also knew that he was mistakenly considered by a girl as a snow sheep chased by a pack of wolves, and even the girl made a bet on her two brothers, saying that the snow sheepskin must be more valuable than the black bear skin.

Feeling that he had recovered some strength, the boy tried to stand up and after he was sure he could walk alone, he slowly walked into the depths of the woods.

Huzi and Tie Niu glanced at each other and continued the division movements in their hands. Xing'er turned her eyes and showed a sly smile at the corner of her mouth, and followed quietly.

The boy stopped behind a cedar tree, frowned at Xing'er who was following him, as if she was saying that he needed convenience. She followed him, which was not very convenient.

"I know who you are."

Xing'er didn't pay attention to the inconvenient expression of the boy. Her red Pupu face showed a little smugness. She turned around and glanced in the distance, and smiled and said, "My two brothers are fools, but I'm not."

The boy looked at Xing'er quietly.

Xing'er mysteriously approached and whispered: "You are a girl!"

The boy was silent.

"May I have your name?"

“……Caoer.”

"Is that so? My name is Xing'er, your name is Cao'er? It's so good, it sounds like a sister. I have wanted a sister since I was a child, but my parents didn't give birth to a sister or sister for me."

“…”

"Do you have sisters?"

"No……"

"Then how old are you?"

"Sixteen...should be."

"Then are you good to be my sister? I'm fifteenth this year."

"……good."

"Hehe, that's great!"

…………

Huzi and Iron Niu divided a bear and three wolfs, then treated the skin and flesh accordingly, especially the complete bear skin was finely applied with salt shavings, spread them and put them on, and then let the wind blow until half dry, it was almost dark.

The four of them spent the night in the woods, accompanied by warm firewood.

"Sister Cao'er, why are you on this snow-capped mountain? Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, why are you not at home for the New Year?"

“…I don’t have a home.”

"How could it be? What about your parents?"

"……have no idea."

"ah?"

Xing'er looked at Cao'er with a little blurred eyes and said softly: "My parents left last year..." She knew what it was like to have no parents, so she wiped the corners of her eyes and looked at the two brothers.

The action of "looking" is very simple, but it seems to be a big decision for her, because she knows that her family is poor, so one more person will have one more mouth to eat and drink.

But despite this, she still longed for her two brothers to agree with her.

Since Huzi and Tie Niu became a woman named Cao'er, they didn't even dare to raise their eyelids, but at this time they felt the meaning in Xing'er's eyes, so they both said muffled and nodded.

"Then go to our house."

Xing'er was happy and said to Cao'er: "We can be a companion in the future... My house is not far from me, just twenty miles away. I will set off early tomorrow morning and arrive at noon."

Cao'er didn't say anything.

Xing'er looked at Cao'er, her eyes were filled with expectations, and she thought about it and added: "If you don't mind our family being poor."

Cao'er secretly moved his internal force and found that the meridians still couldn't operate like a discharge of air, so he nodded and said, "No."

Xing'er cheered, held Cao'er's arm again, rested her head on her shoulder, and said happily: "I'm so happy that I finally have a sister with me."

Cao'er smiled slightly, and then remembered in surprise that she seemed to have never smiled before.

She was a little confused, and the tall and empty hall appeared in her mind unconsciously, as well as the man yarn that always drooped down in the hall, and the gentleman who always wore a mask behind the man yarn.

My kung fu is taught by my teacher. Of course, I should ask my husband if I have any problems. But the problem now is that I can't go back.

Although she didn't know why it turned out like this.

After a while, she reached out her hand to the collar, felt the hard jade cicada under the torn cotton jacket, smiled again, and said to Xing'er, "I'm happy too."
