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

Chapter 474 Chapter 460 Six: Huangtu Ridge, Two People Hunting
Duan Wuji galloped to the fork in Duanjiaji, only to see Tieniu and his brothers waiting by the side of the road!
Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Brothers, is everything ready! Let's go on the road when we are ready."

After hearing this, everyone replied: "It's been prepared a long time ago, everything is fine, we don't need anything now!"

"Hey! Do you all carry that sand bag?"

Duan Changhao shook his hands.

"Brother, if you don't remind me, I really forgot about it.

Wait a minute, I'll go back and wear it! "

After finishing speaking, Duan Changhao galloped towards the house.

Duan Changhong looked at Duan Wuji and asked, "Brother, since it's for business, why are you wearing that?"

After hearing this, Duan Changqing gave Duan Changhong a hard look and said, "Don't you understand this! This time we go to Tufan Country, I'm afraid we have to tie sandbags and walk.

Brother, you said I guessed right! "

"Hmm! That's exactly what happened. People who haven't tied sandbags on their bodies, now take advantage of this time to tie sandbags quickly. After a while, my brother Changhao will come back and let's go on the road."

Only Duan Changhong didn't tie the sandbag. Duan Changhong took the bag off the horse's back, opened it, tied the sandbag carefully around his body, wrapped the bag and put it on the horse again. .

After a short time, Duan Changhao came back on his horse.

"I've tied all the sandbags now, let's go! Let's go now!"

Duan Wuji took the lead leading his white horse and walked closely in front, Tie Niu and the others led the horses and followed closely behind.

All the five in this group were walking with their horses. It was the beginning of autumn, and the cool autumn wind was blowing, which made people feel particularly comfortable.

But see that: Thousands of mountains and ravines have early yellow leaves, and the autumn wind is warm and cool.

The wild fruits all over the mountain are ripe, and the yellow flowers are smiling across the fence!
The field is full of early autumn scenery, and the farmers are busy and idle.

A few people hurried on the road while admiring the beauty of the wild, and everyone was in a great mood.

A few people were hungry for food and thirst, stayed overnight at Xiaoxing, and traveled three to four hundred miles a day. Within three or four days, the caravan from the far branch left Shanxi and entered Shaanxi.

The territory of Shaanxi is densely populated and the people are peaceful. A few people hurried across the state and all the way to the south, and entered the territory of Sichuan within a few days.

It is rainy and foggy in Sichuan, the roads are extremely muddy and difficult to walk, and the mountains and rivers are different from those in the north.

After another four or five days of walking, at noon this day, the group finally arrived at the border of the Sui Kingdom. Several people went through the customs clearance procedures, bought food, and immediately climbed up the mountain and went straight to Natupan Coming within the borders of the country.

The territory of Turpan Kingdom is a plateau climate, with vast land and few people, a desolate and frightening scene.

Sometimes I walk for half a day without seeing one or two families.

Fortunately, they have been here many times, and they are quite familiar with this road, and they know where to stay and where to get a job.

I didn't suffer too much crime along the way.

After five or six days of hard trekking, people finally arrived at the hinterland of Tupan Kingdom at noon that day.

Duan Wuji looked at the place not too far ahead and said with a smile: "Look, if we go forward for a few tens of miles, we will reach the loess hill in front. I think we should not go any further today. Just find a sheltered place under this loess hill to spend the night!

During this period of time, we have been on the road all day, and everyone must be exhausted. "

Duan Changhao laughed and said: "Brothers, how much you can hold on! To be honest, my two legs have long since lost their control, so I'm gritting my teeth and insisting on it!

I wanted to ride a horse for a while, but I was afraid that you would laugh at me, so I insisted desperately!

Well, if I can take a short break earlier today, then I will be content. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "I have seen that you are exhausted, otherwise, we would not walk so slowly!

Let's take a rest early today and have a good rest!
Brother Chang Hao, you are doing well, you are much stronger now than last time, and now you can barely keep up.

If you practice more, you will definitely be stronger!

If you don't work hard at ordinary times, you will not be the result in front of you!
Well, let's go quickly, we will arrive in a short while.

When we get there, let's find a place with a leeward wind and rest for one night before talking. "

As soon as Duan Changhong and the others saw that they had something to look forward to, they immediately cheered up and ran towards the Huangtu Ridge. With such a distance, if people rushed with all their strength, they would be there in a short time!

When I arrived at this loess hillock, I saw that the mountains were covered with wild grass, and the dead trees were sparse and desolate.Rabbit holes are all over the mountains, and foxes are flying through the grass.The grass on the mountain is dark and yellow, and there are no people living in the mountains and plains.

A group of people found a leeward mountain nest and sat down, took out the water bag on their bodies and drank water.

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, the three of them must have been exhausted long ago, let them rest here for a while before we talk!
The two of us caught a few wild animals on this mountain and burned them to satisfy our hunger tonight, and improve our lives for everyone! "

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Okay! Three brothers, take care of the horses for us, and we will bring back some wild game."

Duan Changqing laughed and said: "Brother Tieniu, you go, don't worry about it here, there are three of us!
Brother Tieniu, you are so full of energy!

After walking for such a long time, I still have such a leisurely mood to hunt, it is really amazing! "

Tie Niu laughed.

"What's the matter! Can you still be tired from walking so slowly?"

Duan Changqing smiled wryly after hearing this and didn't say anything more.

Tieniu waved his hand at Duan Wuji.

"Brother, let's go, don't we catch nothing when it gets dark!

If that's the case, isn't it really a shame! "

Duan Wuji drew his sword from behind.

"Brother Tieniu, you use a bow and arrow, and I use a sword. If we work together, we won't believe we won't be able to catch prey."

After finishing speaking, the two of them started to circle around the barren mountain.

Tie Niu pulled out an arrow, put it on the bow, and shot into a bush first. When the bowstring rang, a hare was shot to death immediately.

Tie Niu ran over to pull out the arrow, and Tie Niu said with a smile: "Brother, you see that I opened it first. Look how fat this hare is."

Duan Wuji glanced at it and said with a smile: "No matter how fat it is, isn't it just a rabbit! How many rabbits do we have to kill to feed the five of us!

Brother Tieniu, work hard! "

Tie Niu blinked his eyes.

"Brother, look at what you said, no matter how small it is, it's still meat. A small amount makes a lot, and we'll have enough to eat in a while!"

As he said that, Tie Niu shot another arrow, and a fox was also shot and fell to the ground and died.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "You shoot slowly here! I'll go around there."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji made a streamline and rushed straight ahead.

Beside a small forest, I saw four wild yaks lying down and resting!
Duan Wuji rushed over, he wanted to kill one with a sword, but after thinking about it, he didn't use a sword.

When the wild yak saw someone rushing over, it stood up suddenly and was about to attack.

Duan Wuji rushed over and slapped one of the yaks on the head.

With just one palm, the wild yak's head was crushed, and the wild yak fell to the ground before it could even bark.

Seeing the other wild yaks, they scattered and fled in fright!
Duan Wuji didn't chase after seeing it, he put his sword into the scabbard, then grabbed the two legs of the wild yak, and screamed violently.

"Get up!"

The huge wild yak was lifted up by him.

Holding the wild yak, Duan Wuji rushed straight to where their horses were.

Fortunately, this distance is not too far, which is about six or seven miles away.

When Duan Wuji arrived, he suddenly put the wild yak down.

Duan Changqing and the three of them were terrified.

"Brother, you are really powerful, such a big wild yak, you just carried it back?
How far is this bar! "

"It's not far, it's about six or seven miles away!"

"My God! It's not far away in six or seven miles!

Brother, you are really amazing!

Such a big cow, how can it weigh thousands of catties! "

"Well, it's probably like this, it's too heavy for nothing!
Three brothers, don't be idle, you see that the sun will go down in a while, this place, once the sun goes down, it will be extremely cold!

While it’s still sunny, go up the mountain and get some dead trees and come back!
Let's roast wild yak meat in a while! "

The three of them stood up immediately after hearing this, and went to pick dead trees all over the mountain.

The dry firewood was continuously brought back by the three of them, and when Tieniu came back with the prey, the three of them had brought back a lot of dry firewood!
Tie Niu threw the hunted wild animals on the ground, glanced at the wild yaks on the ground and said, "Brother, you are the best! You have brought back such a big prey, it is really amazing!"

"Brother Tieniu, isn't it just hunting a wild yak! What is this called for us buddies!

Brother Tieniu, you have quite a lot of prey!Six hares, two foxes, and a fat deer.

Um!This is enough for us to eat for a few days.

Brother Tieniu, let's go!Let's also go to the mountain to pick dead trees, and we can light a fire and eat meat in a while! "

The two moved as soon as they said they wanted to, and joined the team of picking dry firewood. When the sun was about to set, the five people picked up enough dry firewood.

Duan Wuji said loudly: "It's okay, it's okay, this little dry firewood should not be burnt clean, so everyone don't pick it up.

Brother Chang Hao, hurry up and make a fire with dry wood!

The others quickly skinned the animals, and we will have barbecue in a while!

If you can't finish it, everyone can wrap it up separately, and save it for us to eat later! "

Duan Changhao promised to carry dry firewood and go to light the fire. The brothers began to skin the animals. Everyone started to do it together. Everyone often hunted. These jobs are very familiar.

After a short while, all the animal skins were peeled off, and most of the internal organs of the animals were discarded by them, only the heart and liver of the yak remained.

In a short time, the raging fire was ignited, and people roasted the animal meat on the fire.

A strong fragrance wafted out in a short time, and the fragrance has been wafting far away!

When the meat was cooked, the five of them started to devour it.

The bright bonfire is brightly lit, and it shines far and far away at once!

People eat and grill while eating, and the joy is not to mention.

Under the light of the bonfire, several horses gnawed on the surrounding green grass, everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.

After the people were full, they began to grill the beef and prepared to take it with them to eat later. At this moment, a dark wind blew up on the hillside, and the moonlit night was dark and the sky was dark. The beasts hid in their dens, and the horses stopped gnawing on the grass , foxes and rabbits dodge in fear, the yellow desert is fascinating, the fire is flickering and warm and cold, and no one is seen three feet away.

Several people were startled when they saw this, Duan Wuji looked at the flying sand all over the sky and shouted: "Brothers, stop grilling, let's grill after a while when the wind calms down!

How to bake like this! "

The gust of wind came and went quickly, and after a while, the gust of wind passed, and the earth returned to calm.
