Chapter 185: The Return of White Blade
Two people drank their fill of water.
Song Chu pulled out a bag of gold and placed it on the table, smiling slightly. "I won't be staying in Ba Guo for too long, I still want to go around and take a look. Consider this my wedding gift to you, although it's a bit tacky, but practical."
Ji Mian didn't put on any airs, and with a straightforward body, she clasped her hands together and said, "For the kindness you've shown me, Ji Mian, if I ever have a chance to rise up in the future, I will definitely repay it."
"You and Nan Qi helped me in Wei's place, shouldn't I also think of repaying you?" Song Chu smiled and said "Originally planned to muddle through and consider it settled."
"Hah! You!" Ji Meng shook her head helplessly.
"It's getting late, I won't be a bothersome guest asking for more wine." Song Chu got up to bid farewell as soon as he saw Ji Yu and Wei Jiang returning.
"When shall we meet again?" asked Xi Meng.
Before he had even finished speaking, Song Chuyi was already walking towards the gate. Upon hearing these words, she shook her head and waved her hand without looking back, saying "Those who are destined to meet will meet again."
Wei Jiang bowed slightly and said "Thank you, Mr. Song, for your great kindness."
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one eyebrow was slightly raised, and she slightly inclined her body to return the courtesy. "Great kindness is not spoken in thanks."
Ji Yuhe and Qi Bian led the horses, the three of them mounted their horses, two people in front of the gate bowed and bid farewell, riding away swiftly.
Just a few dozen feet away, Ji Bian said, "Sir, that little beast is still following us."
Song Chu turned his head and indeed saw the little yellow dog following behind. Just now they were walking at a moderate pace, but this thin and weak little dog was able to keep up with them, which wasn't easy. Song Chu dismounted his horse, picked up the panting dog, and shouted loudly towards Ji Wu, "Wu, in order to save your family's food, I'll reluctantly take this dog away!"
He shouted and didn't care if anyone responded or not, then directly got on his horse.
"Haha! You scoundrel, you also have a moment of blindness. That's a mountain wolf behind you!" came Ji Meng's voice from behind.
Song Chu furrowed his brow and took a glance at the small thing in his arms, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like a dog. He suddenly let out a loud shout: "Ji Wu Mei, you're really too much! You've even raised wolves to be dogs!"
Anyway, she wouldn't admit that she couldn't recognize it.
Horses galloped, in the dark night that was gradually shrouded in twilight, and the faint sound of Ji Meng's laughter could still be heard from afar.
They walked for about two quarters of an hour. Ji Yu looked around at the vast mountains and fields, and asked, "Sir, where are we going next?"
"We can only camp for one night." Song Chuyi slowed down his horse and sighed.
The wild geese have no language, and there is nowhere to go, but they still walk so freely in the tribe. Even if you don't live in those thatched cottages, can't you at least find a place to take shelter from the wind?
"Sir, isn't this place close to Witch City? Why don't we go into the city to stay?" Ji Bian asked in confusion.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one said, "I'd like to go, but Wucheng never accommodates people at night. Those great witches are strange, I don't want to provoke them."
In the country of Ba, if a Da Wu ignores you, that's the best. If a Da Wu takes notice of you, it's really troublesome. Moreover, some Da Wu are indeed mysterious. Song Chu Yi, this resurrected person, doesn't dare to appear in front of them, lest she be taken for an evil spirit and burned, who would she cry injustice to?
The mountain wind grew stronger and stronger, so the three of them found a clean and sheltered place to rest.
Ji Bian went to pick up a pile of withered branches and took the opportunity to check the surroundings, making sure there was no danger before setting up the bonfire.
By the firelight, Song Chuyi pulled that little wolf over and placed it in front of his face to take a closer look. The little wolf didn't move at all, not even blinking its eyes. It just stared blankly at Song Chuyi, as if it was scared stiff, yet also seemed too lazy to have any reaction whatsoever.
"It's clearly a dog." Song Chuoyi looked left and right, and couldn't help but mutter, "I've heard that among the mountain wolves, there is a royal tribe that is entirely golden. Could it be that you are of the mountain wolf royal tribe?"
Song Chu smiled and flipped Xiao Lang over, brushing off the area that was not quite visible "Tsk, it's a boy."
Ji Yu had just caught seven or eight rabbits and mountain chickens, when he saw Song Chu's lewd movements, suddenly felt a headache, so he sat aside silently to deal with the prey.
The little wooden wolf-like creature caught a whiff of the thick bloody smell and made a slight movement.
Song Chu immediately put it down when he saw the situation.
The little wolf cautiously approached the eagle, stopping in front of it for a while. Seeing that the eagle didn't seem to want to chase him away, he slowly moved closer again. After several attempts, he finally mustered up the courage to open his mouth and take a bite of the animal's internal organs that the eagle had discarded nearby. As soon as he saw no one stopping him, he immediately began devouring it fiercely, with a ferocity completely different from when he was eating dried meat.
Song Chu Yi now truly believed it was a wolf, and a clever and bloodthirsty one at that.
In the mountains, there are many deceitful wolves, which are very different from snow wolves. Once a snow wolf recognizes its master, it will never leave or abandon them for life, but mountain wolves go wherever they can benefit, and they only show loyalty to the wolf king within their own group. So, will the wolf king be loyal to anyone?
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, she couldn't help but feel a sense of regret, for in this life, she had indeed invited wolves into her home.
Ji Yu will clean up the good meat rack on the fire, and soon the fragrance of meat wafts through the air. The little wolf is still eating with its head down.
When the meat was roasted, the little wolf's belly had also become round and plump, and it was elegantly cleaning its face and paws.
"Looks a bit worn out, but still has some style." Song Chu said with a smile.
Ji Yu handed a rabbit leg to Song Chuyi, who took it and was about to put it in her mouth. Suddenly, the bushes nearby rustled, Ji Yu was on the other side, Qi Bian dropped the roasted meat and quickly drew his sword, but he was still one step too late. The white shadow had already pounced on Song Chuyi like lightning, knocking her to the ground.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, she felt that the thing that had crawled out was using its wet tongue to lick her face, and immediately shouted "Stop!"
Ji Bian's sword had already fallen to its neck, but upon hearing the words, it stiffly withdrew and retreated two steps. After regaining composure, he looked again to see that what was crawling on the ground was actually a giant wolf, over one zhang in length. It lay there, completely unable to see Song Chuyi.
"White blade!" Song Chu yelled, trying his best to pull out his hand and stuff the rabbit leg into its mouth. "Let go!"
Baijian seemed to understand and chewed on his meat, moving slightly to one side.
"You're really not thinking, you just mentioned it yesterday and now you've come running today!" Song Chu wiped his face and scolded "If you play like this again next time, I won't guarantee that the sword won't land on your wolf's neck!"
Bai Jing stared with her big, round eyes and let out a series of pitiful wails.
"My goodness!" Song Chuoyi sighed and rubbed its head "Growing taller but not growing smarter!"
Suddenly seeing the white blade, Song Chuyi was very excited, but she couldn't help but wonder where Zhao Yilou was at this moment.
Song Chu knew that Bai Jing only ate half-cooked meat, so he asked Ji Yu to roast two half-cooked rabbits. He picked up the little wolf and placed it beside Bai Jing: "Look, Dad found you a wife."
Ji Yu's hand trembled slightly as he lit the fire. Firstly, Song Chuyi could only be called a "girl". Secondly, this mountain wolf was male, and so was Bai Reng...
Bai Jing turned his noble head, looked down at it with a glance, and gave Song Chu a face, then turned his head to watch Ji Yu roast meat.
"Cough, White Blade, you see it's a bit ugly, but it has a good temperament, right? Marrying a virtuous wife, if you don't like her, you can still take in a beautiful woman later." Song Chu sat down cross-legged, and was actually half a body shorter than White Blade.
Now, even the sturdy Ji Bian is much shorter than Bai Jian.
Song Chu tore off a piece of rabbit meat and started eating, not noticing that Bai Jing took advantage of her distraction to kick the small wolf away with his hind legs, sending it flying over a meter away.
That little wolf quietly got up and walked to the other side of Song Chuyi, lying down again. Its originally dull fur was even more disheveled.
"Huh? What's going on?" Song Chu saw Xiao Lang covered in dirt, quietly lying by her leg, and immediately looked at Bai Jing "You bullied my wife?"
White blade turned his head, a pair of shiny black eyes, full of innocence.
"Haha! This White Blade is interesting, he's learned 30-40% of Master's temperament." Ji Bian laughed and said. He had just witnessed with his own eyes how White Blade kicked Little Wolf flying.
In fact, Baizhan may not be pretending to be innocent, he was born with a naive wolf face.
"You've really stirred it up, it's not pretending to be stupid, it's truly stupid!" Song Chu sighed. She had a premonition that the days ahead would be far from peaceful.
Baijian ate two rabbits, but just padded his stomach a bit. Seeing that there was nothing roasted left, he proactively slipped into the forest and soon came back with ten or so small animals in his mouth, all of which were thrown in front of Jiyu, staring at him eagerly.
The action is so familiar and obvious that Zhao Yilou must have spoiled it like this all the time.
Ji Yu didn't expect this wolf to be so familiar, facing such a sincere gaze, he could only clean up these prey and then put them on the fire.
As for catching prey, White Blade was very experienced. Once it got greedy and caught a wild ox, but Zhao Yi Lou spent half an hour just cleaning the ox, getting anxious as it ran around in circles. From then on, they only caught small ones, which were quick to handle and easy to roast.
Only pitied Ji Yuhe and Qi Bian, one was busy roasting meat, the other had to constantly go pick firewood. After a big commotion for half the night, Song Chuyi woke up twice, and only then did they barely finish.
Bai Jing ate his fill and drank to his heart's content, then happily trotted over to Song Chu Yi's side, using his divine claws to push the little wolf away before lying down himself.
The next morning, Song Chuyi woke up and found that Xiao Lang was gone. He didn't show up until they were about to leave.
"What about that wolf?" Song Chu remembered it was his watch during the second half of the night.
Ji Bian glanced at Bai Jing and said, "Get rid of it."
"Huh?" Song Chu asked, "You know you threw it away, why don't you go find it back?"
"I'm afraid of offending it." Ji Bian untied the reins while lifting his chin to point at the White Edge. He deeply understood that one cannot afford to offend petty people, nor can they afford to offend wolves with small eyes.
"You damn thing, aren't you going to get me killed?!" Song Chu yelled at the white blade.
She thought to herself, others originally stayed in Jiemian just fine, but after following her, they died the next day, this is simply an insult to her abilities!
"Go and find it quickly." Song Chu said to Ji Bian.
As soon as her voice fell, the little wolf emerged from the thicket and walked slowly to Song Chuyi's side, then stood there stupidly.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one wanted to take a small wolf on horseback, and Bai Jing just had to climb onto the horse. These few horses were really gentle and hadn't seen much of the world, so when they saw Bai Jing, such a huge creature, they forgot to whinny and run away. When Bai Jing pounced on them, they even fell to the ground with weak legs.
