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

Chapter 319
In the morning of the next day, the two of them got up early, packed their things, and walked out of their room. They saw that there were already many people in the front hall, and they were busy eating.

Duan Wuji sat down with Tie Niu, and Duan Wuji said to a waiter guy: "Guys, give us twenty catties of cooked meat, first give us thirty buns, and then give us three bowls of soup." .”

"Okay! You two wait a moment, we will serve it in a while!"

After speaking, the guy turned around and left.

Before long, Jiang Ruiyuan also came out of the room.

"Ouch! Two virtuous brothers, are you up early?"

"Yeah, I can't fall asleep, what are you doing if you don't get up! Brother Jiang, come, come, let's sit together, and the food will be served in a while.

We have already ordered your meal for you. "

"Ah? It's still yours today? How dare you do that?"

"What's so embarrassing about it? How can you be so clear when you're away from home?
Come, come, come, let's sit together. "

"Well, if that's the case, then I'm not going to be polite."

After speaking, Jiang Ruiyuan really sat down.

After a while, the guy came up with the food.

"Guest officer, this is the food you want, you can use it.

Why!Guest officer, forget about the meal. "

"How much silver in all?"

"It's not much, it's only five renminbi. Hey! My friend, why don't you give each of us another twenty catties of yak meat? Calculate how much silver is the total?"

"Well, if you want to calculate it this way, it's a total of one tael and one silver."

Duan Wuji took out the one or two taels of silver he found last night and handed it over.

"Here, this is one or two taels of silver. You can find it for me."

"Okay! Guest officer, just wait a moment!"

After speaking, the guy turned and left.

None of the three brothers were polite, and everyone immediately started to gobble it up.

After a short time, the guy came back again.

"Guest officer, here's a penny I'm looking for you, please take it.

Here are the three servings of yak meat you want, each twenty catties, please accept it too. "

"Well, let's put it on the table first, buddy, and don't worry about it."

The man smiled, turned and left.

After the three of them finished their meals, the three of them put away their portion of cooked meat.

The three stood up, and Jiang Ruiyuan said with a smile: "My dear brothers, I will lead the horse. Let's set off right away."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Ruiyuan couldn't walk out.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu also followed, and Jiang Ruiyuan got on his horse.

"You two brothers, let's go."

The three of them set off as soon as they said they were going, and walked westward along the narrow narrow path. The terrain was getting higher and higher as they walked!

Jiang Ruiyuan looked at the two people behind him and said: "You two virtuous brothers, you are so fast! No matter how fast my horse is, I will never be able to lag behind you. Brother, I really admire you!

Hey, two brothers, if you insist on walking like this, how far can you insist on walking? "

"How far? It can't last longer than your horse.

If you don't believe me, let's try it. "

The two of them said in their hearts: If it weren't for our unfamiliarity, we would have left your horse far away, and there is no way to do it!

The three of them started walking in the morning until noon. The three of them found a place with a lot of grass. Jiang Ruiyuan let the horse go, and the three of them sharpened.

After resting for a while, the three continued on the road until it was dark, but the three did not find a place to stay.

The three of them had to sleep in the open, the horse gnawed on the weeds on the hillside, Jiang Ruiyuan shivered from the cold, and kept shivering.

Jiang Ruiyuan complained: "There used to be two families here, why are there none now, the three of us must be frozen to death this night!

My God!It's too hard to make money.

If I had known this earlier, I would not have come this time. "

Duan Wuji saw that it was getting late, looked up the hillside, and found a few dead pine trees on the hillside.

Duan Wuji was overjoyed to see him.

"Brother Tieniu, I think we're going to have a good time tonight. Don't you see a few dead pine trees on the hillside? Get them here and let's warm up."

Tieniu saw it, didn't he?I saw that there were seven or eight dead pine trees, each of which was as thick as a bowl.

Tie Niu saw it and said with a smile: "Brother, you have sharp eyes, and you spotted this thing at a glance.

Come on, let's get them here, anyway, we don't have to suffer tonight. "

Those pine trees are not far from here, that is, a hundred or so feet away.

The two ran up the hillside, and the iron ox took a big stick and slammed it on the tree.

With just a click, a pine tree was broken by Qi Gen.

Duan Wuji grabbed the roots and dragged the whole pine tree down the hillside.

Tieniu knocked down all these dead pine trees, and helped Duan Wuji pull them up.

After the two men pulled down the dead pine trees, it was completely dark.

Jiang Ruiyuan looked at the two people and said: "You two virtuous brothers, you have great strength!

I didn't expect such a laborious work, you finished it in a while, it seems that brother and I are enjoying your glory again. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Jiang, why did we get mixed up?
Who gets the light of whom?You said the three of us got mixed up, can't this work if we don't work together? "

Jiang Ruiyuan nodded after listening.

"Well, it's the same reason, hey, my dear brothers, let's not light the fire now, the weather is not very cold yet, we can hold on, it will be really cold in the middle of the night.

I'm afraid we won't suffer if we don't last until dawn? "

"Well, well, we brothers listen to you. Then let's hold on for a while before lighting the fire."

Jiang Ruiyuan looked at the two brothers and said: "My dear brothers, do you know what I am most worried about?

I'm not worried about freezing us to death tonight, no matter how cold it is, it's impossible to freeze us to death, I really can't bear it, let's move around at worst.

What I'm most worried about is encountering wild animals in this barren mountain. If that's the case, don't you think the three of us will be finished? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Jiang, your mouth really stinks, it's fine if you don't say it, but as soon as you say it, don't they come here?"

"Oh! My God! What's the matter? And where are they?"

"Brother Jiang, don't you understand after looking around?"

"Ah? That's right."

Jiang Ruiyuan raised his head and looked around, only a hundred feet away, there were already more than [-] pairs of small lights surrounding the place in all directions.

"Ah! Brother, this is a pack of wolves, right? There are so many wolves, how can we deal with them.

If not, the three of us will be turned into wolf dung by tomorrow morning.

Oh my God!This is the end, with so many wolves, I'm afraid we are already doomed.

Alas, I miss Jiang Ruiyuan, I never expected to end up in such a miserable end!

Alas, I am so unwilling. "

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, please be safe and don't be impatient.

You hold your horse well, don't let it startle and run away.

Brother Jiang, you are so lucky!You are lucky to be with us brothers today.

otherwise.I'm afraid you're really doomed. "

"Ah? Can you two really drive these wolves away?
This is not one or two wolves!At least there must be more than 20 heads. "

As the wolves approached, the horse let out a disturbed cry.

Jiang Ruiyuan slapped his thigh.

"My God! I was scared stupid just now, but now I remember. This wolf is afraid of fire, won't we be fine if we light a fire?"

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Brother Jiang, this fire must be lit, but not right now."

Duan Wuji raised his sword and chopped off a branch from the pine tree.

"Brother Jiang, you can use this to defend yourself later."

At this time, the wolves had approached within ten feet.

Jiang Ruiyuan took the stick that was handed over.

"Well, after a while I'll fight them all, killing one is one, anyway, I can't escape to death in the night.

Alas, it was useless to say anything. "

Duan Wuji whispered to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, it looks like we won't be able to get through this night if we don't work hard.

You see, the wolves in the west and north are close to us, and the wolf king must be in these two directions. We must kill a few more of them tonight, otherwise we really can't pass this level. "

"Okay! Brother, brother, I will listen to you. Damn, there are only a few wolves, and I, Tie Niu, don't take them seriously."

The wolves got closer and closer, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller.

Duan Wuji shouted.

"Brother Tieniu, let's attack."

Following Duan Wuji's loud shout, the two of them rushed towards the wolves like arrows flying off the string.
