The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 251 Chapter 240

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu took down the bow and arrow from the horse, and then Tie Niu took the big stick in his hand and hung the sword on his waist.

Duan Wuji only carried a sword on his back, the three of them walked out of the courtyard and walked straight to the depths of the mountain.

The three of them walked into the depths of the mountain, only to see luxuriant grass and countless wild flowers in the mountain.

Birds sing songs in the forest, insects sing songs in the mountains.The silent flowers in the green mountains are smiling, and the birds are singing in the flowing water.

Hou Hongsheng said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, listen, there are pheasants crowing and crowing not far ahead. This flock must be quite big. Let's see if we can catch two of them."

Tieniu glanced at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Brother, why don't we get a few back, so we can have a drink tonight!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, each took out a carved feather arrow from the quiver, and put the arrow on the bowstring.

Hou Hongsheng saw it and said with a smile: "Although there are quite a few pheasants, it is extremely difficult to catch one. I was just joking with you just now, do you think this one with wings is easy to catch?
Forget it, forget it, let's go look elsewhere. "

As he said that, Hou Hongsheng yelled towards the mountain, and immediately, more than ten pheasants flew into the air.

Hearing only two bowstring sounds of "pa, pa", the two pheasants fell down in response.

Hou Hongsheng was surprised when he saw it.

"Brother-in-law, you two brothers are really good! The pheasant was shot down as soon as it flew."

Tie Niu smiled and said: "What's the matter? Isn't it just two pheasants? They fly so slowly and we can't shoot them down again? Isn't that the end of the game?

Hurry up and pick it up and put it in the bamboo house. "

Hou Hongsheng promised and ran over, pulled the arrow from the pheasant and threw the pheasant into the bamboo bamboo.

Hou Hongsheng ran over again and handed the two arrows to the two men.

Hou Hongsheng said with a smile: "That's it, now I have something to eat tonight. Hey, brother-in-law, why don't we shout again?"

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Don't say shouting twice, it's fine to shout four times!

Hey, brother, let's see who shoots more between the two of us this time. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Okay, Bibi is Bibi, whoever is afraid of whom."

The two of them had just put on the bowstring when Hou Hongsheng stood on the hillside and shouted loudly: "Doo, beep, beep."

The pheasants were startled again immediately, and with the sound of bowstrings, several more pheasants fell to the ground.

Hou Hongsheng picked them up and counted them, ho!There are so many shots this time!A total of five pheasants were shot down.

Seeing this, Hou Hongsheng smiled and said, "Why? You've shot so many shots in such a short time!

If it gets dark, how many prey will have to be found, and the bamboo bamboo may not be able to hold it by then. "

As he spoke, Hou Hongsheng handed over a few more arrows.

Several people continued to walk deep into the mountain, crossed the hillside, and in front of them was a black pine forest that could not be seen at a glance.

Tie Niu saw it and said with a smile: "Hey, Hongsheng, is there any prey in this black pine forest? Come on, let's go in and have a look."

After hearing this, Hou Hongsheng quickly reached out to stop him and said, "Brother-in-law, how can we go in this black pine forest? Although there are prey here, this black pine forest has a name in our place. The locals call this black pine forest the forest of death.

There is not only the black blind man here, but also that huge wild boar. The two tusks of this wild boar are exposed, and it is faster than the dagger.

If there is nothing wrong with this thing, rub pine oil on its body. The thick skin can't be said. Even if we chop it with a sword, we may not be able to kill it.

At that time, if you can't fight the hunt, if you take your lives, why don't you let my sister scold me to death when you go back?

We might as well take it as soon as we see it. Aren’t there a few pheasants in the bamboo house?

Okay, okay, let's not take that risk.Save yourself the hassle of making a mistake. "

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Isn't it just a wild boar after talking for a long time? What's so great about it?
We brothers have been through a lot of wind and waves. If we can't even handle a wild boar, then we won't hang out here.

Brother, let's go, let's go into the woods and kill some of them. Let's stew wild boar meat tonight. This stuff is really good. "

Duan Wuji glanced at Hou Hongsheng and said: "Just wait outside this forest, we are also curious, we will come back after a while."

"Well, since you are curious, you can go in and have a look around, but you have to pay attention to safety.

There are many ferocious beasts here!It doesn't matter whether we beat the beast or not, the key is that we have to save our lives! "

"I know, I know, let me tell you, it's okay, we'll be out in a little while."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu walked straight into the black pine forest.

I saw this black pine forest. The forest is deep and the trees are lush. Once inside, there is a feeling that the sky is going to be dark. The thick pine fragrance roars straight into people's noses. The two of them wandered carefully in the forest. For fear of encountering something dangerous and losing people.

Turning and turning, Duan Wuji gently pulled the iron bull, and then lightly pointed with his hand.

"Brother Tie Niu, look, under that big pine tree, aren't there eight or nine yellow sheep lying down? Let's shoot a few and get them back to eat mutton. Do you think this thing is so good?"

"Well, brother, you still have a good eye! Okay, it's them this afternoon."

After finishing speaking, Tie Niu immediately drew his bow and set his arrows. Of course, Duan Wuji was not idle, and two arrows flew towards the lying sheep. Before the sheep could react, two sheep were shot The two sheep kicked their legs suddenly and fell to the ground. The other sheep ran away in fright when they saw it.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu were quick-witted, "pa, pa" two arrows with carved feathers, and two more yellow sheep were hit by arrows and lay down.

The two laughed when they saw each other.

Tie Niu said with a smile: "Well, we can't finish eating tonight."

The two rushed over, only to see the four fallen wild goats still kicking their legs on the ground.

Tie Niu saw it and said with a smile: "Oh, what a waste of time! What do you want them to suffer? Say, hit the sheep's head with a stick."

"Pa, pa" four times, the four gazelles were completely dead.

The two of them were just about to drag the four yellow sheep out of the forest.

Suddenly there was a roar of wild boar from behind, and a huge wild boar rushed towards the two of them with its bloody mouth wide open.

This wild boar weighed at least three or four hundred catties, and it was only thirty feet away from the two of them.

Tieniu saw it and said with a smile: "Damn it, this is another meat delivery for us. Now that it's here, let's just accept it."

Duan Wuji's mobile phone was very fast, he drew out a feathered arrow and slammed it into the bow, and shot the arrow at the wild boar's eyes.
"Crack, squeak"

An arrow with carved feathers hit the wild boar in one eye, and the wild boar screamed and continued to charge forward, with its bloody mouth open, it rushed towards Duan Wuji directly.

Seeing this, Duan Wuji urgently ordered: "Brother Tieniu, hit this wild boar on the head with a big stick, and end it with one stick."

"No problem, brother, just watch it."

After finishing speaking, Tie Niu held up his big stick and waited for the wild boar to rush forward. Tie Niu hit the wild boar on the head with his stick.

Just listening to the sound of "pa", the wild boar crawled on the ground and did not move.

Duan Wuji walked up to have a look, ho!Resentment had to move, the pig's brain was smashed out.

Duan Wuji looked at Tieniu and said: "Brother Tieniu, we can't hunt anymore. There are so many prey, can we finish it?"

Tieniu thought about it too.

"Well, that's good, let's stop here, let's quickly drag this dead pig and take these four sheep to retreat.

We really can't do anything more. "

Tie Niu tore a kudzu vine from a pine tree, tied up the hind legs of the four dead sheep, and then put the four good lamb legs on his big stick, two in the front and two in the back. .

"Brother, you pick up these four dead sheep, and I'll grab this wild boar, let's go, let's withdraw immediately."

Duan Wuji took the stick, carried the four sheep and went out.

Tie Niu pulled the wild boar's two hind legs from the ground, and dragged it to the outside of the black pine forest with great difficulty.

When they arrived outside the black pine forest, the two of them were sweating from exhaustion.

Hou Hongsheng ran over quickly when he saw it.

"Oh, brother-in-law, Brother Wuji, did you get so many prey in such a short time? You've made a fortune now."

Tie Niu panted and sat on the ground.

"Oh, I'm exhausted today. This wild boar weighs several hundred catties. How can we get it home?"

Hou Hongsheng thought for a while and said, "Well, it's quite heavy, why don't I call my eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law over and ask them to help us make it together.

Anyway, with so much meat, they are indispensable. "

Tie Niu gasped and said: "Well, that's fine, why don't you go quickly? Go and come back quickly, it will be dark in a while.

When you come, bring a rope back, if it doesn’t work, bring my horse too. "

Hou Hongsheng agreed and turned around and ran to the village.Two people sat on the ground waiting for them, the time is not too long, ho!Hou Hongsheng brought people over.

There were quite a few people who came this time. Hou Jia, Hou Shang, and Hou Hongsheng's two brother-in-laws all came. They brought a pair of thick wooden poles. They put the dead wild boar on its four legs, and then four The individual carried it and ran straight to the mountain village.

Tieniu used his big stick to pick up four gazelles and followed behind.

Now Duan Wuji saved his energy, Duan Wuji followed behind empty-handed, entered the village and returned home, he saw a lot of people sitting in the courtyard, everyone was discussing something in a low voice.

Hou Guantang came out of the house with his wife, and when he saw so many prey brought back, he was overjoyed immediately.

"Hey, did you bring back so much prey in such a short period of time? Is this enough to eat? This big wild boar is fat enough, it must weigh several hundred catties no matter what.

Hongsheng, take advantage of the dawn to skin this wild boar. Give this wild boar to your two brothers-in-law, Hou Jia, and Hou Shang, and let them improve their lives.

Alas, we usually don't have anything to eat in the mountains, so it would be nice to have some meat to eat.

Hou Jia, wait up, don't be idle, hurry up and get a piece for Brother Hongsheng, and we will cook some meat later. "

Lao Hou glanced at Duan Wuji and Tieniu.

"My son-in-law, Wuji, let's go, follow me back to the house and drink some water, we'll come out to eat boiled meat later."

Seeing that there was nothing of their own to do outside, the two followed Hou Guantang into the room. The three of them sat at the table and chatted while drinking water.

Not long after, a strong smell of cooking meat wafted in.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, all waiting to eat boiled meat.

After another hour, Hou Hongsheng ran in.

"Father, brother-in-law, Brother Wuji, the meat is cooked, let's go, let's go out and eat boiled meat.

I don't know what happened, but today's boiled meat is really delicious. "

Hou Guantang laughed and said, "Wuji, son-in-law, let's go, let's eat outside, it's cool outside."

Walking into the yard, I saw two big pots of steaming meat had been served on the table, one pot was pork and the other pot was mutton.

There are five or six vegetarian dishes on the table.

Hou Guantang looked at his son and asked, "Hongsheng, didn't you share the meat with the four families?"

"It's divided, why not? Each family weighs forty or fifty catties."

"Then we have so much meat left in our house, isn't it afraid of spoiling? It's a hot day."

"It doesn't matter, let's boil them all tonight, and then bury them with salt, so they won't be damaged, so let's keep them for normal eating."

"Well, that's fine too. Just figure it out.

Hey, my son-in-law, Wuji, let's eat. "

Why are you two being polite?The two of them picked up the meat with their chopsticks and began to gnaw on it one after another.

The two of them tasted it, well, today's meat tastes really good, and it's quite delicious, and the time is not long, and the two of them are full.

Tieniu looked at Hou Hongsheng and asked, "Hey, Hongsheng, we two horses have never been fed or drunk, right?"

Hou Guantang laughed and said: "Son-in-law, look at what you said, are our family members so blind? Can we forget such things? We have already fed them and drank enough."

"Well, that's good. I mean we'll use them tomorrow. If we haven't fed them yet, the two of us will take them out to eat some grass while it's still dark. If you have already fed, then forget it.”

Seeing that the two of them were full, Hou Guantang quickly shouted: "Yin Ping, don't be so busy, let's arrange a room for them to rest, after all, they will go out tomorrow."

Hou Yinping promised and ran over.Looking at the two people, he said with a smile: "You two come with me, I have already arranged where you live."

The two of them followed Hou Yinping into a small room in the east wing, and Hou Yinping pointed to a small kang and said, "Sleep here, this place is just right for the two of you, you should rest first, I'll take some rest." I have to be busy cooking meat.

With so much meat, I'm afraid I can't cook it overnight. Alas, this amount of meat is more than the meat during the Chinese New Year. I really didn't expect it? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "There are many things you didn't expect, alas, sister-in-law, is your first child a son? Or a daughter?
Did you think of these?Think of it and tell me. "

After hearing this, Hou Yinping smiled and said: "You bad boy, go to bed quickly, I don't have the time to talk to you."

After finishing speaking, Hou Yinping blushed and ran out.

"fierce"
