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

Chapter 364 Chapter 360

It's true that the more people look forward to the dawn, the brighter the day will not be, and the morning stays longer, and the brothers Duan Changhao, Duan Changhong, and Duan Changqing all fell asleep one after another.

The three of them were too sleepy, and after a while, Duan Changhao started talking in his sleep.

"Mom, don't scold me, okay, I will definitely earn you a lot of money when you go out this time, and let you live a good life like my aunt and the others.

Otherwise, I will die and never come back.

Son, I am ambitious, and I don't want to be looked down upon.

If my brothers can do it, so can I. "

After speaking, Duan Changhao fell into a deep sleep again.

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Tieniu, look at my brother Changhao and their life pressure is really not small!

It seems that this comparison is really killing people!

Brother Tieniu, what do you think? "

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Who says it's not!

If our two families can't afford food now, no matter how poor they are now, they can still be content with the status quo with peace of mind.

However, compared with our two families, they can't sit still.

They are somewhat unwilling!

It's okay to live like this, so that we can promote the common development of the three of us!

Brother, do you think this is the gift? "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well, brother Tieniu, your analysis is quite reasonable.

It's such a rationale. "

It wasn't too long, and the two of them fell asleep in a daze.

Suddenly, the horses neighed, and the cry spread far away.

Duan Wuji jumped up suddenly, stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword from behind.

Duan Wuji stood with his sword in his hand, observing the movement around him, the iron bull jumped up from the ground in a jerk, and grabbed the big stick beside him.

Tie Niu took advantage of the situation and kicked Duan Changqing's ass.

Although this kick was not very heavy, it still woke up Changqing.

Duan Changqing suddenly stood up from the ground.

"Brother Tie Niu, what the hell is going on?

It's late at night, and I can't sleep peacefully. "

Duan Changqing rubbed his eyes, and when he took a closer look at the postures of the two, he knew what was going on.

Duan Changqing also picked up his big stick from the ground and observed the situation very carefully.

At the same time, Duan Changqing touched Duan Changhong and Duan Changhao with his foot.

"Two brothers, get up quickly, there is something wrong."

The two brothers were sleeping soundly now, but when they were touched by Duan Changqing, they immediately stood up from the ground.

"Brother Changqing, what's going on?"

Although the two of them are also very tired, after the sleep just now, the altitude sickness has almost disappeared.

When the two of them saw the posture of the three of them, they knew what was going on, and took advantage of the situation to grab their weapons.

The horses were no longer grazing, and they were neighing uneasily, which indicated that danger was coming at any time.

Suddenly, a deafening roar of a tiger came from the grass, and the sound spread five or six miles away.

Everyone was shocked when they heard it!

At this moment, a fierce tiger came out from the depths of the grass.

While roaring, the fierce tiger slowly approached forward.

It seemed that they were also very cautious and careful, and the horses kept whining, staring at their masters with their eyes.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense like never before, and the air seemed to freeze.

The fierce tiger looked at the crowd, and couldn't decide which one to attack for a while.

The tiger approached slowly, getting closer and closer to the people.

Now the distance from people is at most twenty feet away.

The fierce tiger squatted down very cunningly, and immediately made an attack posture.

When everyone saw this posture, they knew that the tiger's attack was coming soon.

A few people stared at the tiger, clutching the thing in their hands, and dared not blink their eyes.

The fierce tiger got up abruptly and pounced on these five people.

The tiger was too ferocious. When the tiger rushed over, it immediately brought a gust of wind. Everyone heard it and said, "This smells bad!"

When Duan Wuji saw that the tiger was rushing towards him, he suddenly dodged to the side, and stabbed at the tiger's neck with his sword.

At the same time, the big sticks raised by Tieniu and Duan Changqing viciously smashed towards the tiger.

As soon as the tiger came close, it was hit head-on, and it was also blinded.

The tiger rolled violently and just wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but it was too late, and soon, Duan Wuji's sword had already penetrated deeply into the tiger's neck.

At the same time, Tie Niu hit the tiger in the stomach with a big stick.

This fierce tiger rolled outward like crazy, just for that chance of survival!

Duan Changqing hit the tiger on the head with a stick, and the tiger twitched twice before it stopped moving.

Everyone let out a long breath when they saw it.

At this time, the horse also calmed down, and several people continued to sit down and rest, after the accident just now.

Most of the people's drowsiness has disappeared, and people sit together and gossip, killing time.

Duan Changhao ran to the dead tiger to have a look.

I saw blood gushing from the mouth and neck of this dead tiger, it was already dead.

Duan Changhao kicked it with his foot and said: "Well, this tiger is big enough! It must weigh four to five hundred catties!"

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Brother Changhao, is your health better?"

"Okay, good morning.

It turns out that the rest is over!

Well, although it's still somewhat top-heavy, it's nothing serious. "

"Why don't you come and rest for a while?
It's already midnight now, and it will be dawn in a while. "

"Well, okay, then I'll sleep for a while."

At this time, it was already late at night, and it was more than an hour before dawn at most.

Not too long, Duan Changhao and his three brothers fell asleep again.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu couldn't fall asleep, of course, they didn't dare to sleep either, they sat there on duty, quietly waiting for the dawn to come.

The whistling wind had stopped long ago, and there was silence on the plateau.

After more than an hour, a ray of light emerged from the east, and in a short time, a fiery red sun slowly rose from the east.

A new day has begun.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu stood up, stretched their muscles and bones, and then called the three brothers.

"Three virtuous brothers, get up quickly, you see it's already dawn, let's eat something and get on the road quickly.

Look at how desolate this place is, how can it be suitable for a long-term stay! "

The three turned over and sat up, opened their bags and began to eat.

Tie Niu and Duan Wuji also unpacked their bags and began to eat. Because there was no water, people couldn't swallow it after a while. They had no choice but to pack the dry food again.

Several people put the silver bag on the horse's back.He also carried the dead tiger onto Duan Wuji's white horse.

People led the horses and continued on the road, and the hard work along the way was gone.

The road gets higher and higher, and there are fewer and fewer people. Sometimes it takes a long time to walk without meeting anyone. It is really desolate.

When it was getting dark, five people rushed to a small ravine.

Duan Changhao looked at Duan Wuji and said: "I said brother, look how quiet this valley is, this place is just right for resting at night.

Let's not go any further today, just spend the night in this place today, look how sheltered this place is from the wind! "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well, brother Changhao, the place you chose is really good! This place is indeed a good place to rest.

Well then, let's rest in this place tonight.

Brother Changqing and Brother Tieniu, you two look for it and see if there is any dry firewood on this hillside. If you find dry firewood, bring it back and let us roast tiger meat. "

Several people became excited when they heard it, and they split up to act. After a while, they got back a lot of dry firewood and so on.

Duan Wuji pulled out his sword and skinned the dead tiger, and picked out the bones one by one. Duan Wuji wrapped the tiger bones and skin on the horse's back, and then lit a fire. I personally picked out tiger meat with a sword and grilled it.

Not too long ago, a smell of barbecue permeated the valley.

After it was cooked, people began to eat it with big mouthfuls. After a day of hard work, after eating a few pieces of tiger meat, people's spirits gradually improved.

After people were full, they continued to grill until all the tiger meat was grilled, and then people stopped.

Several people divided the roasted tiger meat and wrapped them separately.

Duan Changhao looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Brothers, it seems that if you go through the door with you, it will not only be painful, but also joyful!

To tell you the truth, this is the first time I have eaten tiger meat since I grew up so big!

Not to mention, this thing is fragrant, and it doesn't taste the same as other meat.

Alas, it seems that going out with you, making money or not, is finally worth it in this life.

I'm afraid we won't be able to finish all the remaining tiger meat tomorrow. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Changhao, how can this person who is away from home only have bitterness? Of course, it is impossible to only have sweetness.

This is called sweetness in bitterness, bitterness in sweetness.You get used to it as you go out for a long time.

Maybe you don't want to stay at home for a long time in the future.

Brother Chang Hao, among the five of us, you are the worst in ability, you have to grow up quickly!

As far as your current ability is concerned, you can't do it! "

"Yeah! I know, I know.

I used to think that I was unambiguous in these two strokes, but if I didn't want to compare with you brothers, the difference is not a star and a half!

Brother, you don't need to talk about me, I have self-knowledge in my heart. "

Tie Niu laughed and said: "People are not afraid of anything else, but they are afraid of being content with the status quo and not thinking about making progress!

If you know your own shortcomings, know your shame and be brave, then you will progress very quickly.

Brother Changhao, keep working hard! "
