Rain or shine

1

A large piece of cloud drifted past and blocked the sun, the sun turned to overcast, the wind became cold and became sick, and the leaves rustled.

Something is wrong.Mo Shengling looked around for the third time at the mountain forest he was all too familiar with, and sniffled.Unfamiliar smells, footprints, scratches left by the bark, birds soaring and screaming in the distance, and beasts running and avoiding for no reason, all signs prove that there are intruders.

"Wow--" Mo Sheng took a deep breath, put his hand around his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and let out a howl.

Accompanied by countless similar howls one after another, several black and gray wild wolves swooped down from the high cliff, stepped across the river branched by the waterfall, and gathered around him.

The wolves are the overlord of this area, and Mo Shengling has a good relationship with them, why he can't explain it himself.When they first met, they ate and skinned a deer in front of him, and he stood by the tree closest to them.They found him, and he didn't hide, staring at them without moving.They bared their teeth and approached him, but he squatted down consciously, letting them circle around him, breathing on his neck.Probably the so-called congenial smell. Since then, Mo Shengling will call them from time to time, and they will respond if they are there.

Most of the time, Mo Shengling would see them busy hunting.The world of nature is not much better than ordinary life. Fortunately, the rules are simple, and there is only one rule of law of the jungle.I am used to seeing them tearing the flesh of their prey, but Mo Shengling never felt bloody and dirty. Birth, old age, sickness and death, survival of the fittest, happens every day in this forest, and even the wolves themselves cannot avoid it.Their corpses lay down, the grass was stained red with blood, their limbs were weak, and their eyes were full of unwillingness when they closed their eyes.Mo Shengling would quietly guard it until the last moment, pull out the canine teeth, and bury it.

Now, the wolves had their tails upright, their teeth clenched, their eyes wide open, their ears erect and their ears groaning viciously, and the hair around their necks exploded. Mo Shengling frowned. They were in a very bad mood.why?

In the next second, the bullet fired from the high hillside answered his question. The bullet grazed the top of his head and hit the tree trunk.

"Fucking weather, it's changing fast enough." Zuo Yaoqing pushed open the door, squinted her eyes and observed for a while, "It's still a cumulonimbus cloud."

Just as he was muttering, at the end of his line of sight, he happened to see a small figure running out of the woods from a distance, and his steps were fast.Who else could it be if it wasn't Mo Shengling?No one lives here except the three of them.

He was distracted for a while, and Mo Shengling had already run under his nose. He wasn't breathing badly, he wasn't sweating much, and there were a few scratches on his skin. Go: "There are people in the forest."

The strings in Zuo Yaoqing's head tightened suddenly.The corners of his mouth curled down, thinking that it's been a month, and it really doesn't make sense not to do something.After thinking about it, Zuo Yaoqing didn't stop her hands, she took off the camouflage coat on the hanger, stretched out a set with both hands, closed the door as soon as the zipper reached halfway, and said, "Let's go."

Their bodies rustled through the knee-high grass. Luckily, Mo Shengling was familiar with the road in the woods, and he led the way ahead, and the road was not bad with all the twists and turns.

Zuo Yaoqing looked at Mo Shengling's back. Since they came in, Mo Shengling hadn't said a word, but Zuo Yaoqing didn't want to disturb his concentration—his hand pushed aside the obstructive cover, His ears twitched, he cared about the small chirps, and his nose fluttered without letting go of any smells. These behaviors were indeed unlike ordinary people, but judging by his familiarity with the road, his burning eyes, his body suddenly bending his knees, and falling to the ground, it seemed that he was closer to his "normal" behavior. ".

Beast?Zuo Yaoqing hasn't seen this side of Mo Shengling yet, so she can't help but slander with great interest.

"Hush." ​​Mo Shengling pulled him over, and the two of them dodged to hide behind a boulder and thick tree roots.Mo Shengling lowered Zuo Yaoqing's head, lay on his elbows, and peeped through the gaps in the grass.

Seven or eight people in camouflage uniforms passed by with guns, and one of them was holding a red and white striped thread, walking backwards with his back.

"When this area is also cleared, let's move forward. Cast the net wider and catch turtles in a urn. They can't escape from the poor mountains and remote areas."

"Hey, be cautious, the other party is not an ordinary person."

"It's just a lost dog. It's not too ugly to scare you like this." The man said sarcastically, his eyes turned, and he suddenly called out, "Look, isn't this the black wolf we just maimed? ?”

One of Hei Lang's four legs was broken, and he was half limping, with no way to escape.

"It just so happens that we still want your meat to go with wine." He leaned forward and grinned.

Hei Lang bared his teeth, opened his mouth wide, and grabbed his hand.The man screamed loudly, and fell to the ground with his buttocks, his voice was shrill, and his face was ashen.But the wolf ignored him, turned his head and bit his bones completely.

The others were all surprised, they quickly raised their guns and shot without even closing their mouths.

The gun rang out, but it wasn't Hei Lang who fell down.

Behind the rocks and bushes, the delicate gun is smoking. Its owner's arm is not strong, but it is extremely stable, and every shot is aimed very accurately - Mo Shengling's back is arched, the lines are very tight, and one knee Landing on the ground, his lower body was firmly rooted, he breathed lightly, his face showed no wavering, and his pupils were terribly bright.

Seven bodies fell down.

The sky was full of thunder and lightning, dense clouds gathered, and the rain fell like thin threads. It was not enough to soak the grass, and it suddenly poured down.

Mo Shengling stood up and approached Heilang, drenched in the rain, and squatted down.Hei Lang looked at him deeply and closed his eyes.Mo Shengling aimed his gun at it, pulled the trigger with his index finger, and lowered his head indifferently.

"Do you know that you killed someone just now?" Zuo Yaoqing stood not far behind him, watching the scene silently.

"Yeah." The boy turned around and said lightly.

The torrential rain drenched them thoroughly, from head to toe, the fabric of the cloth was of course uncomfortable, and the hair was so sticky that it covered the forehead.The sound of compact footsteps came, and it became louder. Someone must have heard the exclamation and was chasing here.

Zuo Yaoqing took out a handful of balls from the camouflage uniform and threw them on the ground, picked up Mo Shengling by the waist, and quickly slid down the deep valley on the other side with her back.

Not long after, those footsteps came to this place closely behind, but only the sound of puffing breath was heard, and the mist and whiteness were all around.In an instant, there were endless screams.They were itchy all over their bodies, and they scratched and scratched with their hands, but the skin they touched festered one by one.Soon, the smoke dissipated, and there were countless red marks on the neck and face of the corpse.

The torn cordon lay pitifully on the ground, and the noise of the communicator was loud.

"Sir, there is no reply from group B for more than 30 seconds. I think it's... Shall we continue?"

The middle-aged man was stunned, pressed out the cigarette butt on the bark, and sighed: "We didn't do our job well, so we told the superiors about the information, and we will temporarily let the personnel stay here tonight."

"Is this going to give up?" asked the man in camouflage with a telecommunications work bag.

"I actually vetoed the plan early in the morning, but I can't help them to be pretentious." The middle-aged man shook his head lightly, "Let's not mention the wide range, the small number of people can't cover it, and the terrain of the forest is too complicated. An expert-level person can't beat him with his brain."

"Camp up tonight and take turns keeping vigil." The middle-aged man frowned thickly, pondered for a while, and then ordered, "Wait, line up two teams to search near the victims. We can't keep our luck today."

"Yes!"

There is a cave at the bottom of the cliff, neither deep nor shallow, covered by tall and leafy plants, it is the best hiding place.

Zuo Yaoqing and Mo Shengling nestled inside, carefully peeping through the gaps, and saw people with weapons walking back and forth, as if they were on patrol.

"Hey, it's really troublesome to be found out." Zuo Yaoqing lowered her voice, dragged Mo Shengling to sit against the wall, and took off the camouflage jacket. "Fortunately, I brought it." There are more than a dozen pockets inside and outside , poured out all kinds of machinery and things like glass tubes, the former in various shapes, and the latter in fancy colors.

He grabbed Mo Shengling's arm, tied a communication ring on his hand, and whispered next to his ear: "Listen, we can't leave tonight, and at worst we will stay for several days." Zuo Yaoqing He said while shaking the milky-yellow liquid in his hand, "This is a nutritional supplement. Although it tastes disgusting, drink it to ensure that you will not be hungry or looking for water for a day."

His breath sprayed on the ears and the side of the neck, and Mo Shengling was so tickled that he retreated a lot.

"I'm going out tonight," he said. "The cave is safe. You'll be all right."

Zuo Yaoqing was amused by his soothing tone: "Where do you want to go? Don't think that you have a gun. Caroline gave it to you to protect yourself - you don't know this group of people, they want to kill you easily .”

"No, it's because you don't understand them." Mo Shengling looked at him every word, and said firmly, his pupils seemed to be clear and bright, "This group of people will die tonight."

"Wolf?" Zuo Yaoqing disagreed.

Mo Shengling didn't take his eyes off his face, and raised the communicator on his wrist: "I won't drag you down, if I'm caught, I'll definitely tear it off first, and I won't come back to you and bring danger to you." You. If necessary, the last bullet in the gun will go into my heart."

Zuo Yaoqing was really stunned, and after a while, she patted him on the head and said with a smile, "Heh, the ideological consciousness is quite high. Have I taught you?"

Mo Shengling shook his head, raised his hand and moved it away, and replied: "No one taught me more than you, but they taught me earlier than you. I have seen with my own eyes, and there are three things that I understand. One, Injured wolves will not return to the pack; second, they bite off their legs and flee after being caught by beasts; third, their own territory will never allow intruders to set foot on it.”

late at night.

The air on the mountain cooled down, the wind whizzed and shivered.The rain has not stopped, but it has weakened a lot.A little moonlight shines through the dark clouds, but Yubai is too cold.

Firewood was lit at the camp where they were stationed, and the forest was so wet from the rain that most of the electricity was shorted out.The night watchman yawned, drowsy, his eyelids fluttered up and down, but was awakened by a small black shadow standing on the high ground, and raised his gun beside him as a threat.

The black shadows did not decrease but increased, one, two, three, a small group became a large one.Their green pupils flicker in the night like ghostly will-o'-the-wisps.

The night watchman yelled and sounded the alarm.

People hurriedly jumped up from the bed, and the wolves also swooped down. The high-pitched howls tore through the silence and echoed in the rolling valley.

A fierce battle.

The huge pack of wolves roared and roared amidst the hail of bullets. When they were hit, blood spurted from their wounds, and their bodies fell heavily.Fu, who was still alive, stood up again, and the wolves went forward, one after another, swarming here.They use their teeth to crush human throats, and even if there is only a little bit of strength remaining, they will use their sharp claws to leave three bright red marks embedded in the muscles on the invaders.

For a moment, it was unclear whether the crazy cry came from a man or a wolf. The two were so close to death, and it came from the most primitive fear and madness.

The fight lasted for a long time. Under the heavy rain, corpses fell intertwined. People's faces were terrified and twisted, and the eyes of wolves were sleeping peacefully.

Finally, a few lonely howls announced the end.Not a single human was left, and the pack of wolves was no more than a dozen or so scattered.They licked the corpses of their companions one by one, straightened up and left with their chests straight.

The dark-haired boy jumped down from the tree and bowed silently to them.He stepped over the human corpse, but turned a blind eye.The boy, as usual, confirmed their deaths, left their medals, and finally buried them.

The blond boy didn't follow, but from the communicator, he could project what the boy heard and saw.

It turned out that Mo Shengling could read the names of every wolf.

Zuo Yaoqing watched him crouching down next to each wolf with pursed lips, thinking so.
