It took a long time to bury the white crane. It was already afternoon when the two set off again. The sun was setting in the west, and there was a man, a woman and a donkey in the dense forest.

Ji Chou knew that the female monk did not want to talk, so he tried not to disturb her.

They have been separated from Ji Haoran and others for a whole day. Ji Haoran and others have not been found at this time. They are afraid that they will not come back. The remaining horse hoof prints on the mountain trails also show that Ji Haoran and others have indeed gone south.

.

The female monk had lost too much blood and her face was very pale. The sweat on her forehead also showed that she was very weak. She was swaying unsteadily on the back of a donkey.

It got dark before they had gone far. Although he knew that the female monk didn't want to talk to him, Ji Chou still had to take the initiative to talk to him. It was already dark. He had to seek the female monk's opinion whether he should rush all night or find a place to rest.

"It's up to you." This was the reply given by the female monk.

Ji Chou was very tired after digging holes all day. Since the female monk asked him to do whatever he wanted, he would find a place to camp. Naturally, there would be no ruined temples or huts in the barren mountains. If he could find a place

A cave is better than sleeping in the wilderness.

However, the cave is not easy to find. At the second watch, the female monk fainted again. If Ji Chou hadn't noticed in time, the female monk would have fallen off the donkey's back.

In desperation, I had to sleep outdoors nearby and lit a bunch of firewood to drive away mosquitoes and ward off wild beasts.

After the bonfire was lit, Ji Chou noticed that the female monk's originally pale face had turned very red. He cautiously stretched out his hand to test and found that her forehead was burning hot. This was a high fever caused by wound infection.

After shouting a few times, but the female monk didn't wake up, he bravely untied the cloth belt around the female monk's waist and checked her injuries. He guessed right. Because she had been soaked in the lake water before, the female monk's body was damaged.

The wound has become red and worsened.

There was still some medicine for the golden sore, and he could do nothing else at the moment. He could only reapply the medicine and replace it with a clean cloth tape. The cloth tape was not ready-made, but torn from his middle coat.

There was no stream nearby, but fortunately he brought a water bag with him, pulled out the cork, fed the nun some to drink, and then collected firewood from nearby to prepare for keeping watch on the fire.

It was humid in the summer, and it was hard to find hay and firewood. I managed to find some, and then I sat by the fire in a daze.

The female monk had a severe fever and was sweating all the time. The only thing Ji Qiu could do was to wet the sweat towel and apply it on her forehead to cool down.

I don't know how long it took, but Ji Chou finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.

He was awakened by the braying of a donkey. When he woke up, he found that the bonfire had been extinguished and the donkey tied not far away was braying restlessly.

Looking further into the distance, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. In the dense forest at night, there were a large number of green eyes, densely packed, dozens of them.

It's a wolf, a pack of wolves to be exact.

"Hey, hey." Ji Chou stretched out his hand to push the female monk.

After pushing a few times, there was no response from the female monk, and then I remembered that she was suffering from a high fever and was in a coma.

They must have discovered that he had woken up. The wolves not far away began to move forward slowly. The donkey was frightened and brayed louder and louder.

Fear was inevitable, but Ji Chou knew very well that fear was useless. In desperation, he took out the kitchen knife in his hand, ran to the donkey, picked up the iron pot, and hit it with the kitchen knife. At the same time, he shouted loudly and tried to

Scare off the wolves.

The sudden knocking sound made the wolves feel fearful. They stopped temporarily and stopped approaching. However, they could not leave and kept watching from a short distance away, looking for opportunities.

After temporarily scaring the wolves, Ji Chou ran back and tried to put out the fire. Fire-fighting did not mean putting out the fire, but rekindling the extinguished bonfire.

The bonfire was completely extinguished and could not be saved, so it could only be rekindled.

Just as he was lighting the campfire again, the wolves launched an attack. Their target was not a human, but a donkey tied to a tree.

Seeing the wolves starting to bite the donkey, Ji Chou rushed over with a kitchen knife and chopped him up randomly. The wolves were a little afraid and did not dare to bite him, but they refused to let it go. Instead, they surrounded the donkey.

Turn around and rush in to bite when you get the chance.

The donkey was tied up and was not allowed to run or dodge. It could only trample randomly and howl in panic.

Ji Qiu's spiritual energy cultivation is poor. Although he can see in the dark, he can't see clearly. The wolves are no better than bandits and can move and jump very quickly. Because there are so many of them, even though he tried his best to stop him and rescued the donkey, the donkey was still trapped by the wolves.

The bite was dripping with blood.

Seeing the donkey braying miserably, Ji Chou couldn't bear it. He wanted to untie the rope and let it go free, but after thinking about it, he gave up. The donkey couldn't outrun the wolves. If he let the donkey go, it would die faster.

Just as Ji Chou was busy driving away the wolves, he tilted his head and was horrified to find that several evil wolves had left the place and moved towards the female monk.

"Hey, hey, wake up quickly, wake up quickly." Ji Chou shouted anxiously.

The nun didn't respond.

Seeing the evil wolf getting closer to the female monk, and fearing that the female monk would be harmed, Ji Chou had no choice but to abandon the donkey and run over to drive him away with a kitchen knife.

Without his protection, the wolves swarmed up and bit the donkey.

Hearing the donkey's screams, Ji Chou was so anxious that he turned around and ran back in desperation, untied the donkey and dragged it to the female monk. At this time, he could do nothing else except shout loudly and wave a knife to drive it away.

.

Seeing the wolves approaching with fierce looks and bared fangs, Ji Chou sighed helplessly. He could only protect one of them. If the stalemate continued, the wolves would probably rush forward and bite like crazy.
