The wolf's lair is their home, snow night separates them

  The weather, which had been fine for many days, finally changed at this time. When the strong wind and heavy snow hit the entire Jialing Mountain, Gu Yunxi was lying beside Wu You. They galloped wildly on horseback, but eventually fell off the horse's back due to Wu You's severe injuries, unable to support both of them.

  Snowflakes fluttered down with the dark night, and Wu You's neck was covered in cold sweat. Gu Yun Xi's ankle had been injured, and at this moment, she could hardly move a step. However, she still forced herself to stand up, grabbing Wu You's arm, "Get up, the blizzard is coming! If we stay here any longer, we'll both die!"

  Worry-free's entire left half of his body was already soaked, Gu Yunxi looked at the wet color that seeped through his black robe, "Are you really prepared to die like this in the snowy day? In the future, your master will not be able to find your remains even if he wants to collect them!"

  Her worry-free eyes slightly opened, her delicate red lips slightly parted, "What's the difference if I die in the snowy ground? Why must a dead person care about how they died?"

  Seeing him still able to say such things, Gu Yunxi's heart relaxed a little, but when she saw the shocking wound, she couldn't help but feel anxious. The amount of blood in a person's body is limited, and if it keeps flowing out like this, he will undoubtedly die!

  "Get up!"

  Gu Yun Xie roughly pulled Wu You up, she herself was unstable but still turned around and lowered her body. Wu You felt his wound being pulled to the point of extreme pain, yet he still endured it and asked, "What do you want to do?"

  "I'll carry you and walk, in a little while, we'll both be dead."

  In the sky, a lone eagle flew by. Wu You raised his eyes to take a glance and let out a faint smile that seemed to be there but not quite. His shoulder was injured, but his legs were fine. He placed his uninjured right hand on Gu Yunxi's arm, "Up ahead is a mountain valley, let's go in first."

  The heavy night had already fallen, and the place was not far from the shortcut they took on their way here. The horse that threw them off didn't know where it ran to. In a vast expanse of dark snow, two people stumbled along, but not far away, a small fluffy dot was rapidly approaching them!

  Wu You was the first to sense danger, his footsteps halted, and his eyes changed suddenly. He placed his right hand on Gu Yunxi's waist and exerted a subtle force, but when that fluffy little thing approached, the entire person's killing aura instantly dissipated!

  "Wah wah!"

  Gu Yunxi was extremely surprised, "It's him!"

  The miserable scene before seemed to still be swirling in her mind, now seeing this little guy with countless scars but still lively and energetic appearing in front of her, how could she not be delighted!

  The little snow wolf's fur was covered with black spots, and its belly had a large patch of blood and flesh. At this moment, it ran to Gu Yunxi's feet, rubbing against her hem with a whine. Gu Yunxi sighed, they were no different after all. She wondered if Ye Qi and the others were still safe?

  With Xiaoxue Lang, Gu Yunxi and Wu You found a place to avoid the snow more easily. Wu You supported Gu Yunxi and followed Xiaoxue Lang along the winding mountain ridge. After half an hour, they saw a sloping rock wall with a natural cave beneath it. Only after entering did they realize that this was a wolf den, as evidenced by the wolf hair and animal bones covering the ground.

  With this place, Gu Yunxi's heart had already landed halfway. She hastily turned around to look at Wu You's injury, but before she could speak, Wu You had already pushed her to a corner and said "Sit down."

  Wu You raised Gu Yun Xi's cloak, his gaze fell on her feet, his large hands pinched her ankle back and forth several times, a pair of deep eyes became even more profound.

  "I'm fine, your wound—"

  "His ankle was indeed broken, this injury cannot be delayed, otherwise——"

  Gu Yunxi initially only felt a sharp pain in her ankle, but by now her legs and feet had gone numb. Hearing Wu You's words, although she was somewhat anxious in her heart, she still pushed away Wu You's hand, "My foot is useless for now anyway, let's take a look at your injury first."

  Her brow furrowed with worry, she gently tapped twice on Gu Yunxi's small leg. With no other choice, Gu Yunxi's eyes were very determined. He let out a helpless sigh, "It doesn't matter."

  Gu Yunxi shifted her body, and with a cold gaze, she pulled at Wu You's sleeve. The original tear in the fabric from the stone instantly ripped open further, causing Wu You to take in a sharp breath of cold air. Gu Yunxi ignored his pain and pressed him firmly against her own side.

  Outside the wolf's den, the cold wind howled by, and the blizzard slowly fell, swirling in the mountains to form a gloomy, mournful sound. Xiao Xue Lang crouched beside Gu Yun Xi, its dark green eyes fixed intently on the two of them.

  Gu Yunxi's body was covered in blood, but it wasn't hers. Her expressionless face slowly opened Wu You's collar and pulled down the left half of his robe. The cold wind swept in with snowflakes, and when the bloody wound was exposed to the air, even Wu You trembled slightly.

  That was an extremely long and narrow wound, from his left shoulder all the way to his chest. How deep the wound was, Gu Yunxi didn't know, she only knew that such an injury would have been fatal for an ordinary person. She lowered her head and gently stroked the little snow wolf a few times, and the little wolf rubbed against her leg twice before quickly running out.

  Gu Yunxi finally raised her eyes and met Wu You's gaze, "Don't you value your life?"

  "If I had known this earlier, I might not have been so quick back then."

  His tone was light and carefree, as if the wound didn't mean anything to him. But those words made Gu Yunxi uncomfortable, her eyes narrowed slightly before she suddenly lowered her head.

  "Hiss——"

  Worry's moment tensed up his entire body, he slightly closed his eyes, only feeling Gu Yunxi's lips and tongue ravaging between his wounds, almost gnawing at his flesh and blood. The immense pain swept through his whole body, while the person buried in his neck didn't leave any strength behind. His mouth corners stiffly rose, "You, don't have to be like this."

  Gu Yunxi raised her body and spat out a large mouthful of dirty blood, then lowered her head again. After a while, another big mouthful of dirty blood came out. Repeating this process several times, the originally ferocious and frightening wound looked slightly better. Wu You's eyes watched Gu Yunxi's movements with a calm gaze, and gradually, his entire body relaxed, as if he was actually enjoying this kind of piercing heart and bone pain.

  Just then, Xiao Xue Lang returned with a few stalks of light yellow grass in its mouth. Wu You didn't know what it was, but Gu Yun Xi took the grass and put it in her mouth, chewing on it for a while before carefully covering Wu You's wound with the chewed-up grass. After covering the entire wound, she then tore her cloak into strips and carefully bandaged Wu You's wound tightly.

  All of this was done with ease, without a care in the world, gazing deeply at Gu Yunxi. She clapped her hands and said, "There must be wolf fennel around the wolf's den. When the wolves are injured during a fight, they will go to find it themselves, chew it up, and apply it to their companions' bodies. If this herb can't stop your bleeding, then you're out of luck!"

  Worry-free eyes gazed deeply at her, Gu Yunxi furrowed his brow, "You were injured to save me, how could I possibly watch you die with my eyes open? You've been protecting me all the way, no matter what, I should thank you, even though this word is usually useless."

  After saying that, Gu Yunxi hugged Xiao Xue Lang in her arms, she lowered her head by herself, "Today thanks to you, unfortunately, I forgot to leave some wolf fennel for you!"

  The little wolf seemed to have really understood her words, and with a sorrowful gaze, it looked at her with its entire body wrapped around hers, motionless. Gu Yunxi's mouth curved into a smile, "You see, everyone else is about to die, but you're still fine, so it's okay..."

  Carefree and calm, he glanced at Gu Yunxi. Her cheeks had already turned slightly red, and her forehead was also showing a few beads of sweat. At this moment, her eyebrows were lightly furrowed as she muttered something to the little wolf. Although it seemed like nothing was wrong, he knew that her feet could no longer be delayed. He turned his head to glance at the dark sky outside, only to feel that the wind had suddenly become a bit quieter.

  "Gu Yun Xi——"

  Suddenly, Wu You turned his head and gazed intently at the woman with jet-black hair standing beside him. The three words that escaped his lips were unfamiliar yet warm, falling silently into the night air, adding a hint of mystery. It was so unlike something he would say that Gu Yunxi was taken aback for a moment.

  This daze gave Wu You an opportunity, his big hand lightly tapped on Gu Yunxi's shoulder, Gu Yunxi's lips parted slightly, and before a word was spoken, she fell straight onto his shoulder.

  "Wah wah——"

  The little wolf in Gu Yunxi's arms saw its master like this, and immediately jumped up. Wu You raised his hand to the little wolf's forehead, "Shh---"

  The little wolf quieted down with a suspicious expression, and the carefree one withdrew his hand with satisfaction. His gaze swept outside the wolf's den, "Come in!"

  In the dimly lit cave, two figures suddenly appeared. They were both tall and wore swords at their sides. As soon as they entered, they saw the bloodstains on Wu You's body. "Master is injured!"

  Carefree waved his hand, "Did you bring everything you need?"

  As soon as one person stood up immediately, "The Bone-Healing Spirit Ointment has arrived, can the master's injury be severe?"

  Worry-free shook his head, "It wasn't me."

  The horse did not throw them off for no reason, it was because he left the items they needed on his back and let him go, and then a falcon carried things on his back to deliver them into their hands, which led to this scene.

  Carefree sank his gaze and looked at the person who had fallen onto his shoulder, "Get down first."

  The two of them exchanged a glance and exited the cave, the blizzard still raging on. In no time, another layer of snow had accumulated in the mountain valley. The two stood amidst the wind and snow, their eyes growing deeper as they recalled the scene inside the cave. Time ticked by, second by second, seemingly an eternity passing before a faint sound of footsteps emerged.

  "How much longer will it take them to find this place?"

  "The King of Germany's men followed the hoof prints and naturally missed them, later a large number of cavalry returned to search for them in all directions, I estimate that with the influence of this blizzard, they will be found within an hour at most."

  Worry-free slightly sank, Gu Yunxi wouldn't martial arts eyesight not good didn't see clearly Snow Wolf Valley's that match of human and horse, but it doesn't represent he also can't see out, he slightly turned head towards wolf den inside look one eye, "Let Xin'e stay in this vicinity."

  In the quiet and dark cave, Gu Yunxi felt a warmth on her ankle, which was slowly alleviating the pain. Just as she was subconsciously feeling satisfied, the warmth suddenly disappeared.

  She was anxious in her heart, struggling to open her eyes. In the dimness, a figure was moving away from her, getting farther and farther away. She strained to open her mouth, but ultimately didn't utter a word before falling into darkness.

  The wind and snow had not stopped, and in the midst of the mournful and stern sounds, a team of black horses was approaching this place. Xiaoyue's emerald green eyes stared at the cave entrance for a long time before she leaned against Gu Yunxi's side with a low whine.

  Digression

  The hunting part is almost over, and our carefree days will disappear for a while. By the way, my original title was "Wolf's Den", but the system said that this "den" is a forbidden word, why is that?
