Chapter 124 Fighting Wolf and Escaping Danger
Ran Mo couldn't hide his true feelings, so he lifted Qingsheng's cheek and kissed him hard on the face.
Qingsheng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled, pouted his lips slightly, and kissed Ranmo.
As Ran Mo and he were rubbing their ears, she whispered softly in his ear, "I can agree to a small request of yours."
Qingsheng muttered, "No, now's the perfect time." During their passionate embrace, his hand accidentally touched the straps on Ranmo's back. He carefully used his fingers to play with the knot.
After a while, as if remembering Ranmo's promise, he trembled with his body and fingers, and whispered in Ranmo's ear: "Is it okay?"
Ran Mo paused for a moment, as if making an important decision, rubbed his cheek and nodded.
Qingsheng twirled his fingers a few times. Ranmo felt a chill on his back. He pressed himself tightly against Qingsheng's broad, warm chest.
Starlight sprinkles into the cave, like the ray of hope and a testimony of romance.
The two finally separated from their inseparable state. Ran Mo blushed as she re-tied the straps. Qing Sheng also looked at her with a hint of shyness. A single word, a glance, a gesture between the young boy and girl had them captivated.
Ran Mo said quietly, "What if we are trapped here forever?" "As long as I am with you, I will die without regrets!" Qing Sheng said without hesitation.
Ran Mo put her finger over his mouth. Don't say that. You can't give up on any hope or chance until the very last moment.
Qingsheng pouted his lips and rubbed his fingers back and forth with hers as if playing a game.
Ran Mo chuckled secretly. What a playful kid! She pondered for a moment. If the two of them didn't return, their family and friends would surely search everywhere for them. She just didn't know if they would find this hidden place.
Now they need to conserve their energy and hold on until the moment of life comes.
She shared her thoughts with Qingsheng, who nodded and said that during his training in the North, he had also learned how to save himself in the wild or in enclosed places.
As he spoke, he pulled out a small object from his pocket. In the light, he could see it was a whistle. Qingsheng put the whistle to his lips and blew gently, and a loud whistle sounded.
Ran Mo was delighted. When his whistle stopped for a while, she folded her hands and whistled according to the method Azan had taught her, producing a clear and melodious sound.
Qingsheng looked at her with admiration. They blew the whistle, either at intervals or together. The sound passed through the cave and spread out into the wilderness.
Suddenly, Qingsheng stopped Ranmo and listened carefully. Ranmo thought he heard someone coming. Just as he was delighted, he realized something was wrong. The sound coming from the distance was clearly the howling of a wolf.
Oh no, the people didn't come, and the wolves were attracted. The two held their breath and stared at the cave entrance.
After a while, several green lights appeared above the cave entrance. They really were wolves, and there were more than one.
Ranmo was so frightened that he curled up in Qingsheng's arms, not daring to utter a single word. Qingsheng remained calm. The two of them faced off against the wolf in silence.
Suddenly, a wolf stretched out its claws, as if to crawl down. Qingsheng raised his whistle and blew it hard. The shrill sound scared the wolves away instantly.
We must stop them now, otherwise if any one of them slips down it will be difficult to deal with.
Soon, several wolves gathered again. Blowing the whistle again would probably only make them retreat temporarily. Ran Mo looked at Qing Sheng helplessly.
Qingsheng remained calm as he pulled out another thin piece of iron from his pocket. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small dagger. Ranmo thought to himself, he has so many treasures.
Qingsheng didn't just use it for self-defense. He squinted his eyes and looked at the cave wall, then touched it with his hand and found a raised gravel.
He placed the tip of the dagger against the stone and began slashing it back and forth. The friction between the two made a sharp, piercing sound, like the sharp teeth of a wild animal gnawing at bone.
Ran Mo almost covered her ears. This reminded her of the unpleasant and heart-wrenching sound that a naughty classmate would make when they scratched the blackboard with their nails.
The wild wolf at the entrance of the cave seemed to not appreciate the sound. It shook its head repeatedly but refused to leave.
Qingsheng scraped the dagger, showing a gritting face and furrowed brows to the wolves to intimidate them, and uttered a whining sound similar to a tiger's roar. He looked like a brave tiger cub.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light inside the cave. It was a dagger striking the gravel, sending a trail of sparks flying. The two of them were startled. Qingsheng continued to slash and stab the stone wall. Sparks flew from time to time.
The wolves seemed frightened by the two men's growls, wondering what dangerous monster was hiding in the cave. Several dark wolf heads scattered from the cave entrance. It was unclear whether they had truly left.
Ran Mo and Qing Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't dare to sleep, ready to fight the wolves until dawn. They didn't dare to linger any longer.
At this time, there was a sound of gongs and drums in the distance, accompanied by the shouts of the crowd, "The wolf is coming, beat the wolf!"
Then, I could feel a commotion at the wellhead, and the wolves seemed to be running away in all directions.
The two were extremely surprised and shouted loudly, and blew whistles outside the cave.
Soon, the flickering light of a torch appeared at the cave entrance. Someone peered inside and shouted inquiries. The two men quickly spoke to them, asking for help.
Someone told them to get ropes and a ladder, and told them to wait. They felt relieved and sighed that they were saved!
At this moment, a familiar and nervous voice came from the cave entrance, "Mo'er, Sheng'er, is that you?"
Ah, it’s mother! Mother has come to save them too. Ran Mo cried with joy and greeted his mother.
Mother was wondering how she ended up here. Wu Shao appeared nearby. He waved inside and said they had been looking for him and his partner all night and hadn't expected to meet here.
Qingsheng smiled slightly awkwardly and bowed to them.
After a while, someone brought a rope and threw it down. Qingsheng tied it around Ranmo's waist and gestured for someone to pull it.
Unfortunately, the cave wall was long and narrow with no place to step on. I fell on the rope and found it difficult to climb up. If I pulled hard, I might hurt the person being rescued.
Qingsheng let Ranmo step on his shoulders and climb up, but they were still a long way from the cave entrance.
Just as he was getting anxious, someone shouted, "Make way!" Then a ladder made of thick ropes and wood was slowly lowered from the cave entrance.
Qingsheng helped Ranmo up the ladder, which proved to be very convenient and easy to use. They quickly climbed out of the cave. Ranmo threw himself into his mother's arms, speechless for a moment.
Qingsheng also climbed up and bowed to express his sincere gratitude to the rescuers.
Someone nearby said that no one knew when this cave was formed and what it was used for. They speculated that it was used to store things and hide people during the war in the early years.
Normally, the area is covered with wooden planks to prevent children and livestock from falling in. It's possible that the strong winds of the past few days have lifted the planks and caused the two to fall.
Another scary thing is the pack of wolves in the wilderness. They are ferocious and move quickly, and sometimes come to harass the town.
If we hadn't been looking for them today, we wouldn't have found any trace of them. Fortunately, we were well prepared and everyone was safe.
Ranmo and his mother thanked the people around them profusely. They said it was fine, and just needed to be more careful in the future. Then they all returned to the town.
