Chapter 149 Little Life
The sky is snowing and the earth is vast.
The snow on the ground was over the knee. At first glance, the sky and the earth were covered with whiteness. In addition to the slightest tree poles, you could see a little black. Even the branches were covered with snow and fell into the branches.
Xu Ziling walked slowly with Su Su on his back.
Since he separated from Liu Heita and the others two days ago, Xu Ziling slowed down. After returning to Yangzhou this time, he had to run around again, and he didn't know when he would have time to accompany Su Su through this "two-man world". He slowed down and only rushed to the road every day when Su Su was sleeping. If Su Su woke up, he would step on the snow with her and enjoy the snow, laughing in this large forest and snowy field, letting the laughter spread throughout the endless snow forest.
"Zi Ling, look, we see that group of wild horses again."
On that day, Susu and Xu Ziling passed by an frozen river and found that the group of wild horses they met a day ago were seeing here again.
The group of wild horses was not too numerous, only a dozen horses. They were carried by a tall black stallion and walked slowly along the banks of the frozen river, digging and eating grass roots under the snow. They were too many of them because of the lack of food in the snow and lack of food. Especially Susu's favorite, the snow-white mare, which was so thin that it was only skinny.
Its abdomen bulged and rose, which was even more exaggerated under the thin bones. Obviously, it was a pregnant mare.
The dark horse saw someone from afar, with a look of alertness. The horse's head was high and he whispered a few times, as if he was warning his companions, and as if he was warning the person. The mare didn't. It seemed that the man was a pair of men and women who helped it run away a group of snow-wolfs who were besieging him. He seemed to be happily raising his horse's neck and neighing.
When Su Su saw that it was so thinner, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed. The kind-hearted she once again begged Xu Ziling and asked him to get some food for it.
Xu Ziling was not willing to care about this kind of thing at first. He felt that sometimes the ecology must be balanced. If he took too much help to the wild horses and the mare that rarely gets pregnant in winter, then it might not be a good thing for this group of wild horses in the long run.
But he couldn't convince Su Su, so he had to obey.
Although there was no hay, Xu Ziling had a lot of beans and other things, and some even the little guys in the "Hope" village put them away and gave him gifts. So he divided two big gifts to Susu, and asked her to sprinkle some to feed the hungry little mare.
Wild horses are usually afraid of strangers, but now they are so hungry that the little mare will remember the sweet beans they had eaten before when they see Susu. It neighs happily, takes a light step, leaves the wild horses, and comes to Susu. The black-headed horse neighs continuously, but the little mare has already overwhelmed hunger, and makes Susu's beans sprinkled on the snow so tempting that they can't return to their heads.
"Eat it!" Su Su saw that the little mare was really coming, and she almost jumped up with joy. However, she still remembered Xu Ziling's instructions in her heart. After sprinkling beans, she immediately returned to his side and did not stay there, or reached out to caress the little mare's long horse's hair.
"We're leaving." Xu Ziling hugged Su Su and smiled slightly, "Okay, your wish has been fulfilled, let's continue on the road! We can't stay here for too long, otherwise the horse will drive the greedy little mare out of their tribe. Su Su, you like horses so much and have kind motherhood, and you'll raise a tamed little foal in the future."
"Let's talk about it later. Now I have to help Sister Zhenzhen." Su Su pointed to the horse running around the little mare and neighed from time to time, and said happily: "Zi Ling, look, they are a loving couple, so they won't drive their poor little wife out of the clan!"
The black-headed horse was a bit like what Susu said. As for, it didn't look at the beans on the snow at all, but just looked at the little mare licking and eating happily, and even blocked a few other wild horses that stretched out their necks to grab a bite. Xu Ziling was a little happy to see this situation.
He hugged Su Su and stepped on the thick snow, step by step towards the snow forest in the distance.
Su Su shouted loudly at the little mare over there: "You must give birth to the baby... You must do it..." She heard the little mare tilting her neck as if she was spiritual, and hugged Xu Ziling with joy and said: "That little mare is responding to me!"
Xu Ziling said dizzyly: "The dozen horses are neighing, which scared your loud voice. How could they respond to your words!"
"Even if something else is scared." Su Su said unmoved: "But it responded to me."
Another day passed, and Xu Ziling finally walked out of this large snow forest. Seeing the hill far away in the sky, a vast area in front of him, she couldn't help but feel happy. Su Su was so happy that she was so happy that she almost made the boundless snow forest unable to tell the difference between the east, south, west and north. Now that she came out of the snow forest, she suddenly felt that the world was vast and the world was vast and the mood was relaxed.
"There is a bloody smell over there, very strong." Xu Ziling suddenly sniffed and said, "And there are low wolf howls, it is the snow wolf pack hunting."
Su Su was about to speak, but suddenly Xu Ziling exclaimed again in surprise, pointed to the far left and said: "There are people there laughter and the chaotic sound of horse hooves... This makes people a little strange. Who is there?"
"Go and see." Su Su also looked in the direction, but saw nothing, so she whispered: "Maybe someone might be attacked by a wolf, maybe we can go and see!" As soon as she finished her words, Xu Ziling suddenly roared angrily and said, "Damn, it's Yuwen Chengdu, this big pervert! Damn, this pervert is like Yuwen Wudi's pervert, he is slaughtering animals!"
Xu Ziling hurriedly picked up Susu, used his body technique, and shot towards the other side at a very fast speed.
But when they arrived, Yuwen Chengdu had already rode his horse away, and they could only hear him laughing all the way, arrogant and unrestrained.
Xu Ziling did not chase him. He wanted to chase after him and slap the big pervert who likes to kill animals, but Su Su grabbed it. When Su Su saw that the animal that Yuwen Chengdu was tortured was the group of wild horses he saw by the river the day before, tears rolled down, and the voice could no longer help but hugged Xu Ziling, but she cried so hard that she couldn't help crying.
More than a dozen wild horses fell to the ground, most of which made Yuwen Chengdu knock down the horse's head with heavy force with his fists and palms. A few of them flew a little further and made Yuwen Chengdu's family's short spear shoot through the head and neck and fall to the ground and die. The horse's blood stained the snow with red and shocking.
The black-headed horse had several short spears in its body, and blood sprayed all the way. It seemed that it was guarding the little mare and fell to the ground and died. Because the pregnant little mare fell not far in front of it. There was also a short spear deep on its back neck. Although it did not die immediately like other horses, it was absolutely unsuccessful.
He lost too much blood and had a pregnant stomach. He was so hungry that he was thin and thin that he even stabbed a spear deep in the vital area.
This is not what drove Xu Ziling the most crazy. What made Xu Ziling the most angry was that for some reason, there were several snow wolves on the scene, but they were not hurt at all. They were happily biting the horse corpse on the ground and licking the horse blood on the snow surface that had not had time to freeze.
Xu Ziling hugged Su Su with one hand and ran towards several snow wolf biting frantically. Before the snow wolf could escape, Xu Ziling had already waved the "Star Transformation" dagger and used the three-foot-long sharp sword energy to cut off their heads one by one. Before Xu Ziling could put her down, Su Su struggled down and stumbled towards the little mare.
She shed tears all the way.
The little mare was almost dead, and her eyes saw Susu, which seemed to shine slightly, but it dimmed faster.
"Zi Ling, save it, save it." Su Su begged Xu Zi Ling, her little hand tightly pulling his hand and cried: "It...it...it is going to die, save it quickly! You must be able! I don't want it to die! It has a foal in its belly, and a baby in its belly..."
"I can't save it." Xu Ziling shook his head heavily, patted Su Su's shoulder and said, "Although I want to save it, I can't save it!"
"No, you can do it!" Susu held Xu Ziling's hand hard, and tears gushed like a spring: "You try, you can do it! I don't want to see that it has something to do. It can't die, it can't die!"
"But..." Xu Ziling still shook his head and said, "It is too seriously injured! It is actually...it is dead, I can't save it..."
"Its belly is still moving!" Su Su cried: "Look, its belly is still moving, moving very hard! It is not dead yet! It is not dead!"
"That is the spasm caused by the fetus' excessive blood loss of the mother and the inability to obtain nutrients and blood supply." Xu Ziling said sadly: "The fetus is connected with the mother. If the mare dies, the foal in its belly will die soon. In this case, I have no choice... I have no way to save it!"
"You can." Susu shook her head desperately, and she held Xu Ziling's hand hard and said, "Think about it quickly, you can definitely come up with a way! You can definitely save it. Even if you can't save the big one, you still have to save the small one. It has not been born yet! Ziling, I beg you, can you save it, okay?"
"I...I'll try." Xu Ziling made her cry so hard that she couldn't help but sigh and said, "But don't blame me if you can't save me! This time... I really treat dead horses as live horses..."
"Hurry." Su Su saw Xu Ziling agreeing, and tears kept pouring out her tears. She hurriedly wiped it, but she didn't care. She held Xu Ziling with her little hand and pointed to the mare's bulging abdomen and said, "Ziling, hurry up, it seems that it is not moving so hard!"
"I understand." Xu Ziling gently stroked her little head and comforted her: "Be good, don't cry! Stay away, okay? Don't be afraid when you see me doing anything, okay? I want to cut open its stomach with a dagger and take out the foal. Don't be afraid." Su Su usually feels guilty when she sees blood, but at this moment she is inexplicably brave and shakes her head repeatedly to indicate that she is not afraid.
Xu Ziling took out the star-changing dagger, gently cut open the belly of the mare, wrapped the foal that was still struggling in the mare with a soft ball of air, gently cut off the umbilical cord extending outside, held a ball of blood-red thing in his hand, and gently placed the fresh and tender flesh on the felt that Su Su quickly helped to arrange.
His hands try to use the gentlest true qi, and try to make his true qi not attack, not damage, but nourish and protect.
