002 Strange Treehouse and Wolves

She had just secretly taken off her blindfold in the carriage, so how she came this way, she saw it clearly and carefully and memorized it all in her mind, at this moment she tried her best to recall the scenery she just saw in the carriage, trying to find a way back, she stumbled in the snow, her heart was getting more and more hesitant, if she went back, would she be sent back again, she thought.

Zona looked around, except for the sky getting darker and darker, there was no sign that the wolf god was coming, sure enough, the legend of the wolf god was false, that was just that sorcerer's rhetoric to cheat money, at that moment, there was a sudden burst of wolf howls coming from the mountains, rising and falling, long and strong.

  Zona already had little strength, and was frozen lips purple, at this time the buzzing in the brain, looked back at the deep mountains where the wolf howl came, the fear in her heart slowly rose, she could not help but speed up the pace.

  She felt her body temperature getting lower and lower, while her limbs seemed to be more and more out of her control, she still had the mood to joke about herself, anyway, she was going to die, and could only blame these wolves they came late and couldn't eat a hot bite ...

  Finally, with only the vague shadows traveling through the forest visible in her misty eyes, she couldn't support herself enough and fell to both knees, fainting in the snow.

  Zona just fell to the ground, then from the bushes next to her, "Sizzling" drilled out two green wolves, they are both cautious and Gou Gou sneaky walked up and sniffed Zona fell in the snow, and finally tilted their heads and stared at each other.

  Zona didn't know that when the strong men carried her into the mountain, they had already been discovered by the sentry wolves guarding the mountain, and one of them had already gone back to report to the police, while the remaining two had quietly followed them all the way behind.

Suddenly these two wolves' ears twitched, then hurriedly backed up, lowered their heads with their ears behind their backs, and hummed lowly twice between their throats in a submissive manner.

  Only to see, a tall and mighty figure with a tiger body and wolf waist, walked from the forest to the front of the two low and submissive wolves in an athletic manner, stretched out his honey-colored, slightly black, tightly muscled arm, and patted them on the head.

  The man cocked his head, observing for a moment Zona, who was passed out in the snow and half-buried.

  His handsome but rugged brow furrowed slightly, and with his right hand he tugged at the silk belt wrapped around Zona, lifting the man out of the snow pit in one swift motion.

Lifting the man again, he swung him from side to side, shaking off the snow. After a cursory look, the man slid the person under his arm and, without the slightest hint of gentlemanliness, and with two wolves behind him, struck out for the mountains.

  Accompanied by the undulating howls of the wolves, the setting sun stretched out their shadows, and finally faded into the dense woods.

Zona woke up to two warm tongues.

  As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw two huge wolf heads.

Two half-human tall green wolves, their fur fluffy and crowded in front of her face, with their mouths wide open, revealing a mouthful of sharp, bared wolf teeth, they were licking her face with a "croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak" with great relish.

  Zona was startled, subconsciously "Teng" to hide back, her heart was about to jump out, she thought she was going to be eaten!

  The two wolves were shocked to see that this person could move, they jumped to the outside of the house with caution and agility, and looked at Zona, narrowing their eyes and sticking out their tongues to lick their mouths.

  Zona also stared at the two wolves, she tried to slowly move her body, see the two wolves do not have any intention to attack, on the contrary, some of the defense against her, four paws back repeatedly, and finally even ran away in pairs! There was also the sound of "stomping" on the wooden ladder.

  Only then did she dare to relax a little, and looked around at her situation. She was lying in a dusty but well-preserved wooden house, and something occurred to her, and she nervously examined her body, only to find that her dress was still intact and in good condition, but the ribbons that had bound her were scattered on the floor next to her, and had been torn out of shape.

  And the rest of the room was filled with clutter. There were some stone tables and benches, bone knives and wooden bowls, and fur and linen, but except for the items made of bone and stone which were still intact, the rest were all worn and weathered. A thick layer of ash fell everywhere, and it looked like the place had been uninhabited for quite some time.

  After she was frozen unconscious in the snow at that time, she was already in a daze, and vaguely felt that she was being carried by someone, so it must be that there was still someone in this mountain, and she was precisely placed in this wooden house by that person, just that maybe the person didn't live in this abandoned wooden house.

  Just between her just a few rising movements, the surroundings were puffed up by her a good deal of ash, now choking her straight cough.

  When she raised her hand to fan the ash in front of her nose, she realized that her badly frozen hands and feet, cheeks, ears and other parts of her body were coated with a thick green slurry, which didn't have the slightest sensation when smeared on her body, and also had a somewhat sweet smell.

  She brought her fingers to her eyes and sniffed carefully, there was a fresh scent of grass. It must be that the person who saved her also helped to wipe the medicine of this green liquid, so that she did not get frostbite.

  Only then did she realize that the two big green wolves just now, it was for this sweet frostbite herbal medicine that they reluctantly licked her face, which scared her!

  Thinking of this, she shivered with both fear and cold. It was also cold in this house, but it was a bit better than the bone-piercing cold in the freezing snow under the mountain. Even so, the saliva on her face licked by the wolf in the cold weather, still freezing her face with pain, so she hurriedly raised her hand and wiped it.

Zona thought to herself that it was really weird that the climate here was better than at the bottom of the mountain when it should have been at the mountainside already. Her parents were both excellent hunters in Jehol Village, so she grew up going to the mountains with her parents to learn about nature, until one time her parents were attacked and killed by a wild bear in the mountains, and then she was adopted by her distant cousin's uncle, so she clearly knew that the temperature decreases from low latitude to high latitude, and it is only normal for the mountains to be colder than the bottom of the mountains.

  As she was thinking, a sudden "gurgling" sound came from her stomach, she was cold and hungry, and she didn't know who had brought her here, so she thought it was important to find a way to protect herself from the cold and food first.

  So she wobbled to her feet and looked around the room. There was really nothing to see in the house. The house smelled of mold and ash, but fortunately it was winter and there were no snakes, insects, rats or ants.

  Unable to, can only go out of the house to take a look, looking for water and wild fruits, at least hunger.

  But once to the door but froze, this is not only a wooden house, this is also a tree house!

  This a fifty square meters or so square small house, was set up in a five people can not hold the ancient tree, the branches of the ancient tree is still thick, from the ground is about fifteen or sixteen meters. Lush branches hanging thickly on the roof, I do not know what material to do the house columns glistening with oil, do not see the slightest decay insect moths.

There was also a platform at the entrance, sparsely surrounded by a wooden fence. On the right side of the platform was the entrance to the lower ladder, which was a step made of pruned rattan, and the ladder snaked down along the trunk of the ancient tree, so the two wolves must have run away from here. This rattan ladder was structurally stable and spacious, so it was no wonder that even the wolves, who were not accustomed to climbing trees, were able to go up and down freely.
