【生肉搬运】Shrike伯劳鸟 第一章 原文(11)
George had felt murmurs of it through the uneasy earth, but had been too preoccupied with keeping his stag away from ravines and poison berries and other methods of untimely death to notice that the soldiers had set up camp in the field right beside their forest.
And soldiers, as George knew well, needed to eat. They needed to hunt.
He heard the shouting before he saw the fires.
The sound stopped him in his tracks, and the searing glow of a dozen torches passing between trees stopped the beat of his immortal heart.
“Hey,” he warned the stag, pulling it behind the nearest tree.
It was supposed to be a normal nighttime walk. He had just wanted to go on a godsdamned walk with his godsdamned deer.
George put a hand on the animal’s snout to keep it from braying in protest and drew it down between the tree’s large roots. It was not the best hiding place, especially for an animal whose intricate bone-white antlers stood out starkly against the dark brambles. George ordered the branches to crowd towards them, but even that would prove to be insufficient cover.
