Wolf boy

The soldiers in Zhaocheng had strict military discipline. The next day, when the camp started their morning training, they didn't see the drunkenness and arrogance of last night.

But at the stall where all the battalions are busy, only one person is idle and confused.

Ah Tong got up from the big couch in the main room of the handsome tent early in the morning, suffering from a terrible headache. He squatted on the stool under the couch in a dazed state, clutching his head and not moving for a long time. It was the first time he drank strong alcohol, and it was inevitable that he would get a hangover.

"Why do I have a headache after drinking the wine at the bottom of the mountain? I'm not poisoned!" He thought that when he was a child, he would often get dizzy or have diarrhea because he accidentally ate wild mushrooms in the wild.With this uncomfortable look on his body now, Ah Tong is a little sure that he must be poisoned.

So he moaned and moved slowly outside the tent, shouting as he moved, "Zong Shuo, Zong Shuo! Help, I'm poisoned!"

Ah Tong's voice has always been clear, and when he yelled out the voice he had practiced from howling wolves all the year round, even the guards outside the door looked into the handsome tent, feeling poisoned?Whoever poisons, is it going to be detrimental to the general?Then call the military doctor and patrol battalion to catch spies!

It's just that before calling for someone, the guard was stopped by his own commander, and he was taught a lesson, don't listen to the wind and the rain!The battalion guards must be steady, the general hasn't spoken yet.

The general in the tent not only did not speak, but was very silent.Zong Shuo sat alone on the small table near the window last night, blowing the cool breeze all night, now his clothes and skin are cold, with the breath of the morning dew.

Seeing the young man covering his head and carefully moving out of the main room to find him, he got up together and shook off the light layer of incense ash on his robe.

When Ah Tong had a headache, he distractedly raised his face and sniffed at Zong Shuo, "Why did you light the incense again? It's not good to smell it for a long time." He couldn't say what was wrong with the incense, but he subconsciously didn't like it. He used to think it smelled good.

Zong Shuo directly changed the subject, "I've got poisoned, let me see."

Ah Tong yelled, and then remembered that he was poisoned. He hurriedly walked to Zong Shuo, and described it with gestures, "I have a terrible headache. I think the wine must have been poisoned last night!"

Zong Shuo didn't say anything, the wine couldn't possibly be poisonous.But after hesitating for a moment, he still took the boy's wrist and carefully felt his pulse.

Ah Tong was still in front of the general, looking serious and experienced, teaching him poisoning experience, "Mushrooms with more colorful colors are more poisonous. If you eat red ones, you will spend several days in a latrine."

The hangover is hot and dry, and the man's body is exuding the cool smell of the morning breeze at this time, Ah Tong kept saying "baa baa baa", but his body subconsciously stuck to Zong Shuo's body, and he was about to go soft when he saw it. leaned up.

"However, no matter how red the mushroom is, it doesn't have the bee swarm poison in the rock wall. Hey, when I was young..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt that he was leaning towards his side, and Zong Shuo also let go of Qiemai's hand, standing a little far away from him.Ah Tong was a little inexplicably puzzled, why did he suddenly stop relying on himself?Don't you usually let yourself be free?

The boy was dull because of his innocence, but the nature of the wolf made him sensitive.

He noticed Zong Shuo's abnormality, so he stopped talking and turned to look at the man walking by the table.

Zong Shuo picked up the porridge and side dishes prepared on the desk, brought them to the table next to Ah Tong with one hand, and then turned his head to signal.

"Take it, the antidote."

Ah Tong subconsciously picked up the porridge bowl, took a few sips obediently, felt a lot better in his stomach, and his headache got better. He secretly sighed, the "antidote" in the world works quickly, and it tastes good!

It's just that even though he was holding the bowl, his big eyes were still aimed at Zong Shuo who was sitting back at the desk reading the booklet. The young man thought about it secretly, and then suddenly realized.

Him, didn't he drink and give away lights on the table last night?When did you sleep on the bed so well?

The memory is vague, he only knows that he was very comfortable afterwards, unfettered, swaying and comfortable.It felt, like, like being on the mountain...

Wait a minute, while on the mountain?When he was on the mountain, he never closed his ears and tail!

Looking at the silent Zong Shuo, the young man had a flash of inspiration in his little head, and he finally found the reason.I'm afraid it wasn't because I showed a half-wolf look, and let this person see it!

The young man's guess is close to ten, but his conclusion is slightly different from the reality.

Ah Tong sighed solemnly, looked at Zongshuo with pity, and thought guiltily, "Look, let people know, Zongshuo doesn't have ears and tails, and he doesn't love anyone who is lost right now." Now that you're talking to someone, don't you envy me?"

Holding the porridge bowl in both hands, Ah Tong slowly walked to Zong Shuo's table, seeing that the man ignored him, he gently placed the big porcelain bowl by the table.This bowl is very big, Ah Tong thought about it, and before he knew it, the bowls he and Zong Shuo ate together were all replaced by big bowls, probably because he was afraid that he would not be full.

The boy habitually pushed the bowl forward, rested his chin on the table, and asked hesitantly, "You, you last night, did you, that, see..."

Hearing this, Zong Shuo tightened his grip on the pen, and the solid black sandalwood pen body snapped off. He suddenly raised his head to look at Ah Tong, and fixed his eyes on the young man in front of him who was a little dodgy.

In the wordless silence, Zong Shuo originally thought that Ah Tong would deny, be frightened, and be uneasy about being found out about his huge difference, but he was waiting for the moment when he turned against him. a moment.

Zong Shuo thought, maybe, there will be a threat and a deal between the two. He will not disclose the boy's differences, and in exchange, the boy will keep the Kret language he read from the parchment a secret.

They will make secular decisions while on guard and vigilance, and cut off the redundant thoughts in his heart.

But the boy did not act in accordance with the common sense of human nature.Sighing, he moved closer to him again, then lay down on the desk, turned his face to him and said, "Don't be sad, it's just ears and tails, although you don't have one, but I can touch mine for you."

While speaking, there was a "flutter", and on the boy's head, two big wolf ears popped out from the hair in an instant, and they were still swaying left and right in the bright sunlight, instinctively collecting all the nearby sounds.

Afterwards, the boy shook his waist and his buttocks again, and moved close to the man's eyes. The big tail was still tied in his trousers and kept swinging back and forth.

Zong Shuo saw him for the second time, but his heart was still tense.The boy's white ears were silvery white and shining in the sunlight. There were slender and flowing hairs at the tips of the ears, but the roots of the ears were covered with soft fluff, thin and fluffy, easy to touch.

Ah Tong was leaning over his head to let the man touch it, when Zong Shuo quickly pulled a robe, covering himself from top to bottom in an instant. There is abundance in the earth.

Ah Tong poked his ears back, "What are you doing! It's hard to comb your hair when it's electrified. Your hands are clumsy, and you can't even braid your hair."

"Take it back!"

"Huh? Don't you want to touch it? Ana, I said, it's easy to touch, and I feel good after touching it."

Zong Shuo stretched out his hand and dragged Ah Tong, who was already covered, behind him to block it, "Didn't you, Ana, tell you that you can't show your ears at the foot of the mountain?"

A Tongmeng's voice was muffled in his robe, "I told you, but it's just for you to see, who told you that you were in a bad mood."

Zong Shuo didn't know why, he was entangled and slightly irritable, but he still warned Ah Tong in a calm voice, "Then I'll say it again, take it back, you can't show it for a day when you are at the foot of the mountain."

Ah Tong finally struggled out of the robe, and the abnormalities on his body had been put away. He showed a bright face in the black robe, "Then, are you happier then?"

Zong Shuo unconsciously nodded to the young man's lively and expectant look, and subconsciously responded, "Yes."

Afterwards, Ah Tong grinned a big smile, revealing two small dimples.

"General, the people in Beijing have already passed the Zhongdao post station, and they will arrive at Zhaocheng tomorrow afternoon." A big man entered the tent, but did not enter the main room, but stood in the hall and lowered his hands to report.

Hearing this, Zong Shuo instantly pulled away from the emotion in front of him, ordered to meet the matter neatly, and said some other specious things vaguely, Ah Tong tilted his head and couldn't understand, so he didn't care.

But Zong Shuo, after the big man took his leave, he pondered for a long time, and then looked back at Ah Tong who had finished the leftover porridge.

The situation in his eyes is changing, as deep as a quagmire, gloomy as if it can absorb people's souls, and finally erected high walls of alienation.Sometimes, barriers make people sober decisions and happy choices.

Zong Shuo looked at Ah Tong for a while, and then pulled out a pendant from the pouch at his waist.

The pendant looked like a wolf's deciduous tooth, and the root of the tooth was inlaid with an unknown spar.The gold is mined as silk, and the crystal is embedded in the weaving, which shows the delicate thought and cherished care of the craftsmen.

It was only now that Zong Shuo had guessed the origin of this small canine tooth. He stretched out his hand and brought it in front of Ah Tong.

With a "wow", Ah Tong jumped up, his eyes followed the pendant, "I just said, you definitely didn't put the pendant on the desk, I searched it all!"

Immediately, he felt that he had missed something, so he quickly covered his mouth with his hand, and squatted obediently by the desk, waiting for what Zong Shuo meant.

Zong Shuo didn't say anything, just put his hand on the wolf tooth in Ah Tong's outstretched little hand. Seeing him very happy, he hurriedly hung the pendant around his neck again, muttering, "Don't blame the ancestor, Don't blame the ancestors, I want you back!"

To Ah Tong, deciduous teeth are not important, but the spar on his ancestor's bone is important.

He was happy for a while, and then he was a little confused, so he asked Zong Shuo with a smile, "Why are you willing to give it back to me again?"

After a while, Zong Shuo reached out from under the desk and took out a wooden box.He slowly opened the lid of the box, and saw that a document and a name tag were well placed inside, and some silver was pressed underneath.

There are also some odds and ends, such as flints, small marbles, and a small wooden comb with ox horns left behind when the two met by chance in the forest for the first time.

All the same, keep them carefully.

Zong Shuo pushed the box in front of Ah Tong's eyes. Ah Tong seemed to feel something, so he stopped smiling and stared at him blankly.

"The person you replaced is Xu Xiangming. I have sent someone to investigate. The men of the Xu family are sick and old. Today, the Xu family will be exempted from smoking."

Ah Tong didn't speak, and kept looking at the man who seemed to be very calm.

Zong Shuo paused, took a breath, and said, "This is the household registration document. You can take it and send it back to them."

Ah Thong still didn't answer.

With a "pop", Zong Shuo stretched out his hand to close the wooden cover, and turned his head to look into the boy's eyes.

"Didn't it mean that if you return the pendant, you will go away?"

The two looked at each other for a long time, the man closed his eyes and leaned his head back on the chair.

"Let's go."
