Chapter 1276 The Young Lady’s Choice (21)
His thoughts gradually drifted away, Yu Hanshang could only smell the faint scent of medicine in his nose, but it was too ethereal, as if he couldn't catch it at all.
Never mind, Uncle Feng is right, this kind of person is not the kind I should think about at all.
I think so, but the encounter in the village, and before...
Even though they were already within reach, Yu Hanshang sighed softly and muttered, "They have to go back to the city eventually."
Suddenly, a sharp whistle was heard outside the house - it was the sound of the militia members calling for help.
Although it sounded not far away, Yu Hanshang knew that the other party was still some distance away from him. It was just that the forest was quiet at night, so the whistle could be heard so far.
Yu Hanshang was instantly alert, picked up the knife at hand and stood up: "Who went out? Didn't they say that tonight is not peaceful and we shouldn't wander around?"
The other personnel were also awakened by the whistle, but after looking at each other, they found that all the people on duty today were in the room and no one was outside.
"Aren't those people outside ours?" Yu Hanshang frowned, "But this whistle is..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whistles outside were getting closer and closer.
This means that the person who came not only knew their secret code, but also knew the location of this cabin in the woods. He must be one of their own.
Without thinking any more, Yu Hanshang left a few people behind, then took two people with knives and torches, and ran towards the direction where the whistle came from.
The forest at night is always shrouded in thick fog, and the torch in his hand illuminates the way ahead.
Fortunately, the person blowing the whistle was quite fast, and at that moment, they were not far from the cabin.
Not long after walking, Yu Hanshang met that man - Liu Aijun.
Liu Aijun is about the same age as Yu Hanshang. He had participated in the military recruitment a few years ago, but was not selected because of his bad family background.
This man was brave and aggressive, strong, and knew a little bit about fighting, so no one in the village dared to mess with him.
Of course, he also considered becoming the militia captain, but he was not selected due to political reasons.
He just couldn't become the captain, but he was still selected as an ordinary team member.
Xiao Li and Xiao Wang, who followed Yu Hanshang out to rescue people, looked unhappy when they saw that the person blowing the whistle was Liu Aijun - he was unwilling to stay when he was assigned to be on duty today, and now he went up the mountain without permission, which really made people do trouble.
However, they didn't know that what Liu Aijun did this time was the real trouble.
The firelight temporarily stopped the wild wolf chasing Liu Aijun.
Xiao Li, who had good eyesight, was so frightened when he saw what Liu Aijun was holding. He shouted, "You...you, Liu Aijun, what do you want to do? Put the wolf cub back in your hand."
It turned out that while fighting the fire today, Liu Aijun accidentally discovered several "lone" wolf cubs in a cave.
It looked like it was born not long ago. He remembered that someone had come to the village before to ask about wild wolves.
He was cautious at the time and specifically asked about the man's whereabouts. Now that there was such a good opportunity, Liu Aijun wanted to give it a try.
Hearing Xiao Li's words, Yu Hanshang looked at Liu Aijun's arms with sharp eyes.
Sure enough, there were two furry things twisting restlessly, and making slight whimpering sounds from time to time.
If Xiao Li only saw the two wolf cubs, then Yu Hanshang accurately captured the panic and greed in Liu Aijun's eyes.
"Liu Aijun, are you crazy? Put the wolves down!" Yu Hanshang shouted instantly. "There aren't many wolf cubs like that, and we can't keep them alive. Let them go quickly."
Unexpectedly, Liu Aijun said in a disdainful tone: "Captain Yu, they all say that you have seen the world, how come you are not as good as me! You don't know! There are people in the city who are willing to pay a high price for this thing, even giving food and money.
I'm not one to eat alone. There are several more wolves in the cave. Let's finish these off together first, and then bring those others out."
Xiao Li and Yu Hanshang didn't say anything, but Xiao Wang, who came with them, couldn't help but feel a little moved.
A few days ago, his parents found a marriage partner for him. The family had two daughters. The elder one was pretty, but the younger one was not so pretty.
But the beautiful one asked for a higher gift. If it was really the same as what Liu Aijun said, then he...
At this moment, the wild wolves, which were originally only in groups of three or four, began to gather around them.
Looking around, pairs of green lights began to appear in the darkness, and threatening wolf howls came from all directions, layer upon layer, getting closer and closer - the wolves were on the move.
Thinking of the wolves that had surrounded their hut before, Yu Hanshang immediately stepped forward and snatched the wolf cub from Liu Aijun's hand.
"Hey hey hey! Why are you snatching it from me? I want to take you to get it. This is mine." Liu Aijun saw Yu Hanshang grab it and quickly yelled, "Give it back to me, you..."
Yu Hanshang ignored him completely. With the help of the torchlight, he carefully examined the wolf cub in his hand - his heart finally died.
