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

Chapter 33 Chapter 33
The two of them came out of the main room and walked straight to the yard where the cattle were raised, only to see Duan Changsheng fetching water for the cattle.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Brother, let the master carpenter make a big water tank in a few days, it will save trouble for drinking cows like that!"

Duan Changsheng nodded.

"Well, bastard, it's better for you to do this! Let's make it bigger, and we can eat dozens of cows at a time, which will save a lot of trouble."

"Besides, tell my father to make a row of wooden stakes in this yard and put up wooden fences when you are free. We raise cattle in this yard, but the cowshed alone can't hold so many cows."

Duan Changsheng nodded. "Well, I also thought of this method. Hey, bastard, how much money did you spend to buy these horses?"

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this.

"Brother, I didn't buy these horses. We snatched them from the Turks."

"Ah? Did the Turks let you steal it?"

Duan Wuji listened with a smile: "Brother, don't listen to Brother Tieniu's nonsense, these horses were actually given to us by the Turkic people.

They saw us walking hard and feared that our horses would be exhausted on the way, so they gave us a few more horses.It's just that I didn't ask for money, and I gave it for nothing. "

Duan Changsheng laughed when he heard this.

"Well, that's about the same, this Turkic man is so generous!

Hey, Wuji, Tie Niu, you guys go back to the house and rest for a while, it's been a day of driving, after all, I'm quite tired, I'll take care of these cows and horses first.

You are going to herd cattle tomorrow. "

The two laughed. "Then thank you brother, let's go back to the house and rest for a while."

Duan Wuji waved his hand at Tie Niu, and the two went straight to their small house.

Back in the house, Duan Wuji smiled and said to Tieniu: "Brother, don't mention that our horse was snatched, so that our relatives don't worry about us, just say it was given to us by the Turks.

Those horse bandits came here to give us horses and bows and arrows?

I am still grateful to them. "

Tie Niu laughed out loud.

"Yeah, that's right. That's the reason. Hey, if you only give horses, you can give them horses. Why are you giving us your life?"

"Okay, okay. Don't talk about it, it's not good if you reveal your secrets.

Let's lie down and sleep for a while, and tomorrow we will go to herd cattle. "

"okay."

Not long after, the sound of two people sleeping soundly could be heard in the room.

These days, both of them are tired.

In the morning of the next day, the two of them set off after having a full breakfast, leading the cattle and the horses.

Before leaving, Duan Wuji specially told his father, "Father, let's go to the river where the cattle were herded last year to graze cattle. To deliver food, you can find us there."

Duan Yanqing nodded after listening. "Well, I got it, don't worry. Oh, Wuji, leave me your white horse. I'll use it when I deliver your meals at noon."

After hearing this, Duan Wuji tied the white horse into the barn again, and then he and Tie Niu drove the cattle straight to the river.

When they arrived at the bank of the river, the two of them practiced martial arts while herding cattle. Tired from practicing martial arts, they started to learn bow and arrow again. They didn't stop until Duan Yanqing was delivering meals on horseback.

After eating, Duan Yanqing put down the dry food for the two of them, and then put a jar of rice soup, and then rode back.

Seeing that Duan Yanqing was far away, the two of them immediately started to practice bow and arrow again. At first they stood dozens of feet away and practiced shooting at the big willow tree on the bank of the river.

The two practiced in turn. At the beginning, the iron bull couldn't shoot correctly, ten arrows and seven or eight arrows missed, and the iron bull was sweating profusely.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Brother, why are you in a hurry? If you can't shoot properly, practice slowly. After a long time, there are still things we buddies can't learn!"

Tieniu wiped the sweat off his face and continued to practice.It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that the people in the west took up their bows and arrows and began to practice other martial arts.

It wasn't until late at night that the two of them crawled between the cracks where the cows lay and began to sleep.

It took the two of them herding cattle on both sides of the river for more than a month, so it goes without saying that they worked hard.

Over the past month or so, the archery skills of the two of them have been greatly improved. Although they can't say that they can't hit every shot, they are pretty close to shooting big trees.

On this day, after delivering the meal, Duan Yanqing smiled and said, "Wuji, I think you should go home today, I've already been riding around, and the grass around our village has already grown.

Do you think you have been tired for more than a month?After you go home, you have a good rest for two days, and your brother and I will rest for you for two or three days. "

The two children were overjoyed to hear that, and finally they could go home again. At dusk, the two drove the cattle back to Duanjiazhuang.

Duan Yanqing and Duan Changsheng hurried over to help take care of it.

Duan Changsheng said with a smile: "Tie Niu, go home and rest for two days. Wuji, brother will also give you two days off. You don't need to manage the cattle for these two days, let brother manage it."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother, can you do it?"

Duan Changsheng smiled after hearing this: "Look at what you said? Is it okay if I can't even do this job? Then am I still your brother?"

Tie Niu smiled honestly, and immediately rode home.

Duan Wuji returned to the house, immediately lay down on the kang and fell into a deep sleep.

During dinner, Liu Caihua came over to call him, but she couldn't wake him up, so Duan Yanqing waved his hand.

"Forget it, don't call him, and eat when he wakes up tomorrow. Oh, you just talk about earning a line, is it easy? See if this child is tired."

Duan Wuji woke up from his deep sleep when he scored three strokes the next day.

Duan Wuji went home and had something to eat, and then returned to his small courtyard to start practicing martial arts. After practicing for a long time, Duan Wuji began to practice archery in the small courtyard again.

Duan Wuji didn't stop until he heard Momo's yelp.

Duan Wuji rested at home for two days, and then continued to herd the cattle with Tieniu all day long, leaving early and returning late every day, and it lasted for another two months. During these two months, the herd grew so big It is full of fat.

The archery skills of the two of them have already practiced to shoot flawlessly. Now the two of them shoot down small birds from the sky many times to burn and eat them.

On this day, Duan Yingchun, the second grandfather of Duan Jiaji, came over.

"Wuji, Tieniu, you see, this herd of cattle has been living in your house for four months, and you don't say anything about it, your third grandfather has missed you a long time ago.

Tonight, you are going to drive the herd of cows over! "

Duan Wuji and Tieniu listened and nodded.

"Second Grandpa, we know. Hey, Second Grandpa, let's go over after dinner here."

Duan Yingchun thought about it and said, "Okay! Let's see what delicious food your mother made.'"

When the three of them came to Duan Wuji's house, a scent immediately wafted out from the kitchen.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Father, look at Second Grandpa is here."

When Duan Yanqing saw him, he quickly poured tea and water for his second uncle, and served two plates of snacks.

"Second Uncle, why are you here so often? Sit down, sit down quickly."

"Hey, you said it's been four months since you bought the cow, and these two guys don't talk about the past, so what's the point of just being killed by you? You don't say that you drove them over."

Duan Yanqing laughed when he heard this.

"Second Uncle, the two children are eating at home, what's wrong with that?

Besides, isn't there no shortage of food in our house now? "

"How can this work? The agreed family will live for a while, how can they just live in your house for a long time? That would be outrageous."

After dinner, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu had no choice but to go to Duanjiaji with Second Grandpa driving the cattle.

The two of them drove the cattle in and out of Duanjiaji all day long. At noon this day, the two of them were grazing the cattle on the hillside when someone suddenly shouted: "Get out of the way, the horse is startled, get out of the way! Be careful!" Trampled by a horse!"

Duan Wuji stood on the hillside and saw a white horse carrying a young and beautiful boy running along the official road.

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Not good, if this man falls off the horse, he will fall half to death. Come on, let's go down and stop the horse."

The two quickly jumped to the bottom of the downhill and stood on both sides of the road.

When the horse passed by, Duan Wuji was quick-witted, grabbed the horse's bridle, and the horse slammed into a stake before it stopped.

When Tieniu saw this, he suddenly supported the boy's waist, so the boy didn't fall off the horse.

When the horse stopped, the boy jumped off the horse.

Duan Wuji raised his head and saw that this young man was only eighteen or nineteen years old, with a face like a jade, big eyes, thick eyebrows, and a little black beard on his mouth.

This young man was dressed in white satin clothes and leather combat boots. He looked like a nobleman.

The little companion cupped his hands at Duan Wuji and Tie Niu.

"Thank you two for taking the shot just now, otherwise my horse might not go anywhere.

I am a BMW, running fast. "

Tie Niu looked at the horse, and saw that there was still a long spear hanging on the wing ring of the winning hook bird.

Tie Niu saw it and asked with a smile: "I said this gun is yours? It looks like a martial arts practitioner. How could this horse be startled?"

The guy smiled wryly after hearing this and said: "Hey, don't mention it, I wanted to go hunting in the mountains today, but a leopard jumped out of the woods and scratched my horse's buttocks. I was shocked. After a while, my servants caught up. Their horses are slow, and they have to run for a while."

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Did you catch that leopard?"

"Hey, what are you catching? The motherfucking ran away. It really pissed me off."

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this.

"I think you're a hunter who only shoots rabbits, and you can't even kill any other wild beasts."

The boy frowned when he heard that.

"Brother, how dare you look down on me? I killed two or three gazelles before."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "I don't think your horse is very good, it doesn't run very fast. If you have time, let's compare and see whether your white horse is faster or mine."

The boy laughed out loud.

"Bibi is just Bibi, can I still lose? Hey, brother, what's your name?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "His name is Tieniu, I'm Duan Wuji. See, the village in front is called Duanjiaji, and we will live in that village for the time being. Hey, brother, what's your name?"

The young man laughed and said, "My surname is Chai, and the single character is "Shao"."

"Oh, Brother Chai, when are we going to have a horse race?"

The young man thought for a while and said: "Five days later, I will come to you in five days, what do you think?"

"Okay, let's make a deal!"
