Chapter 185: Human Wolves

They thanked each other, said to take care, and when they were about to set off, one of them said to Mei Ga, "Brother, you ride your horse and go fast." Today, you can get out of the desert!

"Brother, everyone has a good trip!"

They waved goodbye and headed for their destinations.

The morning sun sprinkled on the desert in front of us, mild and cool. They beat their horses and galloped.

"Grandma, how many more walks do we have to go to Zhangye County to Chang'an?" asked Li Weiyi.

"Listen to your Abba Su, that is the ancestral home of your Li family. Mei Ga said, "I think the Han Dynasty has set up a county government there, and there will be a post station when you go to Chang'an." We carry silver, dress up as Han Chinese, speak Chinese, live in Han people's post stations, no matter how many roads there are, we have to go to Chang'an!"

"We are on the way, do you dare to ask about the Su Wu family?" Hai'er asked.

"You can't ask, you can't say anything!" Mei Ga admonished, "Along the way, I came to ask for directions and people, no matter what happened, you two just be obedient sons!"

They followed the instructions of the merchant and did not go out of the desert until midnight. The sandy hills in front blocked the way, there were bushes here, and it was dark everywhere at night, so I couldn't see the road clearly, and there were no tents around.

Mega said to them, "Let us pitch our tents in a hidden place on the left side of the hill, and eat and rest, and we will talk about it tomorrow." ”

Hai'er and his family set up their tents, and Mei Ga picked up a handful of dry branches in the ground, and the fire sickle lit it, and then broke off some bush branches and put them on, and the fire was blazing. She took out a copper pot and added water, found stones and placed them around the fire, and set up a pot to burn.

Walking in the desert for the past few days, the people and horses are tired, not to mention, they eat dry buns and drink cold water, tonight give the dolls some hot food, have a good rest, and hurry tomorrow.

Just after boiling milk tea and preparing to eat, two wolves pounced on me. Hai'er jumped up and kicked a wolf in the stomach, only to hear an oops, but the wolf stood upright and ran. It turned out to be a human pretend.

Su Hai'er looked at the other one, and was fighting with Li Wei. He shouted: "Li Weiyi, I'm here!"

As soon as this person heard that it was Chinese, he hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "A good man spares his life!"

Su Hai'er ripped off the wolf skin on his body, and under the firelight, his face was covered with dust, his clothes were ragged, and he couldn't cover his body: "Who are you?"

"I—I'm Han. ”

When Mei Ga heard that it was Han, she got up and came over and said, "Call your friends over and have something to eat together!"

The man roared, and the friend ran over. Mei Ga handed them the milk tea they were about to drink, and handed them the hot steamed buns: "Come, sit down and eat together!"

Mei Ga handed the two young men steamed buns and a bowl of water and said, "You two are on the side, go and keep watch!"

The tall and thin man heard that they were asked to keep a sentry: "Just because the two of us have been harassing here for many years, the people here have moved away, and there is no one in the radius for more than a mile, so there is no sentry!"

Mei Ga asked, "I don't think you're bad people, why are you robbing here?"

The shorter one asked, "Listen to the voice, you are all Han, right?"

"Yes. Mei Ga asked, "Why are the two brothers here?"

"Alas!, don't mention it, we're so unlucky!"

The shorter said: "We were soldiers who followed the Su Wusu envoy to the Xiongnu, but because of the accident, the Su envoy was exiled, and we were sent to the marginal tribes to work as coolies. I couldn't bear the humiliation, ran away and got lost, and walked here indiscriminately. ”

"I had no choice but to do it together. The tall one added.

"It's been twenty-seven or eight years, and you've always been here?" her eyes turned red.

"We have no leader, and we can't afford to go back to the Han Dynasty, and we can't keep the Huns, so we can only live here on this wolf's skin! One day we can't move, so we sleep in the belly and belly of a real wolf, and we can be regarded as a home!" they said, shedding bitter tears.

When Mei Ga heard that it was Brother Su's soldier, she felt very uncomfortable. Thinking that there were more than a hundred soldiers when they came, when he returned to Han, there were only nine people alive. The two of them have been humiliated and reduced since then, and living strong is a kind of perseverance, which is really admirable!

Although I can't tell my identity or help them anything, it's always okay to take them to Han with me. She didn't want them to perish in this no-man's land in the future, and then look at the bodies of the two of them, it would be okay, and the road would not be cumbersome.

So she asked, "Do you two know how many roads there are from Zhangye?"

"This is the northern head of the East Junji Mountain of the Xiongnu, which is quite far from the Han Dynasty! There are many deserts. Without savings and a horse, you will die of hunger and thirst in the desert!"

"Do you want to go home?"

"Yes!"

"Let's go together!"

The two of them saw that the eldest brother was a kind-hearted Han man, and these two little brothers were also martial artists, and they couldn't reach the big Han with them, and they were willing to die on the road! The two agreed without asking why.

That night, they took the three of them into the cave where they lived, although they looked bad when they went out, they were soldiers in the end, and they cleaned up their home quite cleanly. The sleeping place is high in the cave, covered with thick thatch, and the bedding and clothes are all robbed of passers-by, which is not considered ......

Mei Ga asked their names and surnames, and they looked at each other vigilantly, the taller one introduced himself as Wang, and the shorter one said that his surname was Ma.

The next day, Mei Ga found that they were still feeding two thin horses: "Brother Wang, are you also going back to Dahan?"

"It's preparation, but it's easier said than done!" he said, "and we can only keep ourselves alive." No, I robbed two horses in the early winter last year, and the more I fed them, the thinner I became, and now I have some spirit when I have green grass. ”

"Have you ever killed two people?" asked Mega.

"No, but it scared people to death!" he explained, "and at the beginning of spring that year, I passed by two old men who had gone to Han to see their sons, and I came whizzing in wolf skins. The old woman was so frightened that she fell off her horse and died, and her husband knelt down and kowtowed to us, and the two of us looked at her pitiful and left. ”

"And then?"

"Later," he said guiltily, "when we returned, we took off our wolf's skin, pretended to be a businessman, and helped him tie the old woman's body to a horse and send them away." After that, we saw that the passer-by was an old man, so we let them pass by safely!"

"It's really not easy for you!"

"Ordinary passers-by are afraid of wolves, but who knows that you are not afraid!"

"I came out with my two sons to train, to give them a boost in their talents!" Mei Ga said with a smile.

They visited the surrounding area, where there is no shortage of green grass and trees in the summer, and grazing is also available. Mei Ga asked them, "Hey, two brothers, there is grass and trees here, and there is no shortage of water, why is there no one to graze?"

The man surnamed Ma smiled embarrassedly and said, "We have become a fine here!" In the beginning, there were two permanent shepherds here, and we stole their sheep a few times, and the people who passed by were so afraid that we did not dare to pass by at night. It is said that there are wolves here. ”
