"Can you see the bullet?" Amandine stretched out his big black feet and asked.
"No, but I smell a very strange smell."
Amandine's face flushed slightly, and he said seriously, "Be serious, don't focus on such insignificant things!"
"Brother, I seem to have seen the bullet, so I'm going to do it?" After a while, a "woo woo woo" scream came from the cave. He tried hard to hold back from screaming, because he was afraid of attracting the pursuers outside. Amandine had experienced taking out the bullet once, and this was the second time, but his face was still deformed by the pain. Seeing that he screamed terribly, Beyondbear leaned towards Uwa, and one of his little hands tightly grasped the corner of her clothes. After taking out the bullet, Uwa wiped the wound with alcohol according to Amandine's instructions, and then wrapped it with gauze. The two rested for a while and felt hungry. Fortunately, they brought food with them, so they took it out and each ate two pieces of bread. It was time for Beyondbear to eat. Uwa opened her shirt and started to feed. Amandine was no longer supervised by Ludes this time, and his eyes were fixed on Uwa's big breasts. He thought, "If I marry her, can I look at her openly?" But he gave up the idea when he thought of Uwa's face. However, his evil fire was aroused, so he had to recite "Namo Amitabha" to eliminate his lust. He recited it 72 times, and finally his heart was as calm as water. At this time, it seemed as if another self said to him, "Amandine! You are amazing. You have withstood temptation again." He seemed to be mumbling to himself when he was reciting. Uwa heard and asked, "Brother, what were you saying just now? Why was your voice so low? Is it because you are too seriously injured that you can't speak?" Amandine said righteously, "I am doing something very important. Don't ask around."
Unknowingly, it was evening, and Ludes still didn't come back. Uwa asked worriedly, "Why hasn't the old man come yet?" Amandine replied, "Wait a little longer, it shouldn't be a problem." He didn't hold out hope, just comforting himself. Another half an hour passed, and the two became more and more anxious. They wanted to go out to look for him, but they were afraid that Ludes would come back and couldn't find them. When it was completely dark, they completely gave up. It was impossible to go out to look for him now, because the road on the mountain was not easy to walk. The next day, Ludes still didn't come back. Amandine was able to stand up after a night of recovery, although he limped when he walked. The two discussed going out to look for him. They took their backpacks and prepared to go to the cabin first. When they were about to get close, Uwa quietly went over alone. She stretched her neck and looked in the direction of the cabin. The coalition army had not yet gotten up, and it was quiet outside. After returning to the original place, she told everything she saw. Amandine thought for a moment and said, "It seems that they didn't catch Ludes."
"How do you know?"
"If they caught him, they should tie him up outside the house and not close the door."
Uwa was a brainless person. When she heard Amandine say this, she immediately nodded and said, "What should we do then?"
"We returned to the same road where we parted yesterday."
So the two returned to the position they were in yesterday. They followed the direction where Ludes led the coalition army away. Fortunately, there were not many forks in the road here. The two walked and stopped, and searched for more than ten minutes, but still found nothing. "Did the old man get eaten by wolves?" Amandine guessed.
"What about his bones? Do wolves eat bones?"
"Wolves are similar to dogs. They love to eat bones and drool when they see bones." Amandine said heartlessly.
"Does that mean the old man is dead?" Uwa finally reacted.
"There is another possibility. He left here. Maybe he didn't want to be with us and slipped away on the pretext."
"Does that mean the old man is still alive?" Uwa said happily again.
"Let's go! I hope he is still alive."
"Where are we going now? We don't have any shillings and we don't have much to eat." Uwa asked worriedly.
"Let's stay in the cave for a few days. When my leg gets better, we'll go down the mountain."
The two returned to the cave and took out the bread from their backpacks to eat. They took out the water bottle and drank it one sip each. When Beyondbear saw it, he also wanted to drink it. He took it quietly while the two were not paying attention, then tilted his head and poured it on his face. With a few "patter" sounds, all the water spilled out. Uwa saw it and rushed to grab it, but found that the water in the bottle was gone. Beyondbear was splashed with water all over his face. He coughed a few times and cried out. There is no water in the nearby mountains. To get water, they have to walk down to the foot of the mountain. Amandine has difficulty walking, so Uwa has to go down. When she was about to leave, Amandine reminded her, "Be careful, don't run into the coalition army." Uwa smiled, said nothing, turned around and walked down the mountain. Not long after she walked, she remembered that Amandine didn't like her smile, so she always reminded herself to smile less in the future. After walking for a while, she heard the barking of a dog. She saw the wild dog she saw when she first came to this mountain again. The dog seemed to recognize her and wagged its tail at her. Uwa squatted down happily and stroked the dog's head, "Why are you still on this mountain? Haven't you found your partner yet?" The wild dog stretched out its tongue to lick the back of Uwa's hand, and it was barking "wool wool" in its mouth. Uwa was afraid that its barking would attract the coalition army, so she stood up and walked to the foot of the mountain in a hurry, and the wild dog followed her. After Uwa got the water, she walked back. When she returned to the cave, Amandine saw the dog behind her and asked curiously, "Where did this dog come from? Why is it following you?" Uwa briefly explained and then said, "Brother, let's keep it! It's quite pitiful." Amandine thought for a while and said, "Okay! We can cook it and eat it when we have no food."
"Ah!" Uwa didn't expect that he would bring death to the wild dog.
Beyondbear saw the dog running over happily, and he kicked his legs and climbed on the dog's back. Amandine was overjoyed and said, "Okay! Put a rope around the dog's neck, and you can let Beyondbear ride it as a horse." He did it right away. He really found a rope from his backpack, but it was a bit thick. He split the rope in half and then cut it into more than two meters long. First tie two knots, one from the feet and the other around its neck. The two extra lines on both sides are used to stabilize the body. After everything was done, Amandine let Beyondbear sit on it and try riding. Beyondbear was very flexible and was born to ride dogs, so he trained the wild dog to be obedient. "If you find your place, I won't eat you anymore." Amandine said to the wild dog.
Uwa ran over and said to the dog, "You should thank my brother quickly! He said he won’t eat you anymore, I’m so happy."
The wild dog couldn't help but bark twice when he heard the good news. Beyondbear had a lot of fun riding the wild dog. When he was tired, he got off the dog, ran to Uwa, pulled up her shirt and sucked milk. In order to stop himself from thinking too much, Amandine limped to the cave entrance and looked into the distance.
