Chapter 157: Hurry up at night

Although the old people often say that the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, because according to convention, on a moonlit night, the starlight will generally be a little dim.

But tonight the moon was raised high in the winter sky, and the moonlight was soft and bright, and it fell on the body like a thin veil, with a softness that was blurred.

Moreover, a few stars could still be clearly seen in the sky, and even Qi Ling could vaguely identify a few common constellations by relying on his poor astronomical knowledge.

At this time, the mountain road was a little quiet, except for the sound of the carriage sitting under him.

Then there is the occasional birdsong and the cry of wild beasts from the nearby mountain forest.

Qi Ling pricked up his ears and listened for a while, then quietly leaned towards Gu Jinfeng's side, for fear that if some beast ran out from both sides for a while, what would he do if he bit himself at that time?

Although they had been on a late-night journey like this several times in the past, most of Qi Ling at that time was sitting in the carriage.

The surroundings were covered and down-to-earth, and Gu Jinfeng outside said a few words to himself from time to time, where is it so scary now.

It's not that Gu Jinfeng didn't open his mouth tonight, it was really that Qi Ling was too close to him, and there was originally a fist away, but he didn't know why, she Qi Ling moved towards him vigorously.

Now it is not an exaggeration to say that the two of them are crowded next to each other, and even Gu Jinfeng feels that if Qi Ling comes closer, he will have to sit in his arms.

Such a zero distance made him panic now, and he was a little at a loss, and even the palm holding the reins was sweating.

It was enough for him to try to suppress his heartbeat now, where could he still have some thoughts and Qi Ling gossip.

At this time, it seemed that there was a wolf "whining" on the mountain in the distance, because the night was too quiet, so Qi Ling heard it clearly.

It's a wolf! It's a ferocious wolf!

In an instant, her mind remembered all kinds of ancient wild monster stories she had seen before, and all kinds of hideous images appeared in front of her eyes, making her heart begin to tremble.

Qi Ling unconsciously grabbed Gu Jinfeng's arm, leaned into his ear and whispered.

"Gu Jinfeng, this is a wolf howl, so will we be in danger?"

After speaking, he looked at Gu Jinfeng with a pair of worried eyes, and those eyes were a little shining in the moonlight, as if they were filled with a pool of spring water.

After Gu Jinfeng glanced at it, he turned his head over, stared at the arrival in front of him, and spoke.

"It's a wolf howling, but you don't have to worry, listen to this sound, it's more than ten miles away from us, and there are usually a lot of people on the road, and the animals on the mountain generally don't run down."

Speaking of this, he paused, looking at Qi Ling's sleeve, he was a little helpless, and even had a smile in his tone.

"Don't worry, I will definitely send you home safely, but in the past, I hunted back tigers and black bears, and I didn't see how scared you were, why are you afraid of being like this just when I hear the wolf howl!"

When Qi Ling heard him say this, he thought he was laughing at his timidity, and he was immediately a little unconvinced.

simply let go of Gu Jinfeng's arm, moved his ass to the side for a short distance, and then pretended to be disapproving and spoke.

"Who is afraid! I wasn't scared, I just ,...... It's just that it's windy at night and it's a little cold, and I want to rely on you for warmth, yes, that's it! ”

Gu Jinfeng listened, hooked his lips and smiled, and did not expose her excuse that he knew was fake as soon as he heard it, but nodded, pretending to realize suddenly.

"Oh, I see, then I misunderstood you, but if you're cold, don't you have a blanket in the mezzanine of our carriage, you can take it out and wrap it around you."

Qi Ling is actually cold, because he follows what the old people call "spring covers autumn freezing", so even though the weather has begun to warm up recently, Qi Ling is not thin.

Even on such a night with a light breeze, I feel warm all over my body.

But the words have already been spoken, and naturally the acting has to be a full set, so Qi Ling had no choice but to admit his fate.

Climbed into the carriage, took out the blanket and wrapped it around himself.

Huh! Not to mention, as soon as this blanket was wrapped around his body, Qi Ling's fear just now was dispelled a lot, and when he heard the cry of the beast again, he became less afraid.

This is the reason why Gu Jinfeng asked her to get the blanket, because he knows that if people are afraid, as long as their bodies are warm, they will reduce a lot of fear.

When he first went hunting in the mountains, although he followed the old hunters, all kinds of bow and arrow kung fu under his hands did not reach home.

Every time there is any wind and grass, he can make him shake with fear, and the whole person is like a little rabbit that has just come out of the nest, and he has to wait and see for a long time when he takes a step.

At that time, the old hunter laughed and patted him on the shoulder, untied the gourd from his waist, and handed it to him.

Gu Jinfeng was still very naïve at that time, although he didn't know what was in it, but he dared to pour a big mouthful directly into his mouth.

Who would have thought that this big mouthful directly choked him with tears, and even began to cough violently, and his face was flushed.

It turned out that the gourd contained the liquor that the old hunter drank on weekdays, and the taste was very spicy, and even he only dared to take a sip or two from time to time.

How dare you drink so much like a cow like Gu Jinfeng!

So Gu Jinfeng, who had drunk so much wine for the first time, was directly forced to his head, and his whole body seemed to be burning, red and hot.

But in this strange situation where his whole body seemed to be about to burn, Gu Jinfeng was no longer afraid in his heart, even if he heard the voice of jackals, tigers and leopards, he was still very calm.

It was at that time that Gu Jinfeng drew his sword and shot his first prey, a small wild boar that was not yet an adult.

But when the boar fell, it was only a dozen feet away from him, and if he slower to strike, the real thing would be him.

It was from that time on, Gu Jinfeng would bring wine every time he went up the mountain, and he didn't drink much, just to use the heat brought to his body by that little wine, so as to weaken the fear in his heart.

People in the world say that wine strengthens people's courage, and it is said that people who drink alcohol, because they are a little drunk, dare to do something that they can't do on weekdays.

But for Gu Jinfeng, this is not the case.
