Chapter 40 Along the way

"Ask!" she said happily.

"You say, in this northern country, before the river was opened, it was cold and snowy, and you risked your life to go to the Bell Sea, what is the important matter?"

Mei Ga felt that now that it was time for him to know his purpose. She replied, "Look at friends!"

"What friend, so important?" he asked, puzzled.

"Do you know the envoys of Su Wu and Su from the Han Dynasty?"

"Yes. He said, "I have not seen him, but I have often heard of him, my family Erlan Gong."

The Lord said, "He is a great Han man!"

"He's my savior!" said Mega.

"If that's the case, you'll really have to go see him!"

"Yes, God and earth bless, Brother Su is still alive!" Mei Ga's eyes turned red.

"Why?"

"Since he was exiled to Bel Hai after the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Wei Lu has never sent him food to eat. ”

"Well, we've got to hurry!"

It is often said that when a person walks slowly, a partner walks fast. In fact, there are people talking on the road, and I don't feel tired when walking. There was a topic on the way, and they sped up a lot.

Two years ago, the winter in the north played a big joke on the Hu people, when the river was opened, it suddenly snowed heavily for many days, and more than half of the herdsmen's cattle and sheep were killed and injured by freezing and starvation, and many herdsmen's lives were not spared. God has converged a lot this year.

Mei Ga and Yu Yiba, this day it was dark in front of a slope. In the past, the road to Belhai was winding up and down the slope, but now a road has been artificially split between the slopes, making it easier for herdsmen to pass through a large number of cattle and sheep.

Old man Yu Yiba held a shovel to cut the snow and saw that there were no potholes on the ground, and they began to set up their tents. This tent was specially made by Meiga craftsmen for road use, and it is small and compact. Inside, there is a small room for one person, and outside there can be two or three horses, as well as a place for people to eat and lodge.

At night, the sleeping Mei Ga suddenly heard Brother Eba shouting, "I killed you!" and opened his eyes to hear the sound of knives outside. She immediately jumped up with the knife, opened the door and saw the old brother standing at the door, unable to move.

She lit the pine oil torch and reached out to the tent door, and several wolves saw the fire and ran away with a "whoosh" from the wolf. She looked at Brother Eba, his face was covered in blood, and there were two wolf corpses with broken bellies lying on the ground at the door, and she understood.

She put the torch in the snow, helped the old man into the house and lay on the couch, poured out a pill from the medicine gourd she carried with her, stuffed it into the old man's mouth, quickly lit the cow dung she brought, set up a pot with snow and boiled water, pulled in the wolf's corpse and closed the tent door.

After a while, the old man sighed: "Phew-"

Mei Ga heard the voice and came over: "Brother, you're awake!"

"Wolf, wolf!" shouted the old man, looking at the door.

"The wolf has run away!" she touched the water to the heat, brought a copper basin and poured it with water, and washed the old man's face.

The old man struggled and said, "I'll come by myself!"

"I'm a shaman!"

When the old man heard this, he looked at her with teary eyes and said, "Childe, thank you!"

"Dude, I have to thank you. Mei Ga said, "If it weren't for you, tonight would be unimaginable!"

"Who told us to go with us!" the old man deserved to have seen the world.

The old man took the medicine, washed his face and seemed to be more energetic. Mei Ga commanded, "Take off your coat, and I'll scrub you in the snow outside!"

"Childe, I'll do it myself!"

"It's too cold outside, I'm fully armed!" she said, patting her on the back. In the nearly ten days since her departure, she has slept in full gear at night.

The old man took off his outer leather robe and handed it to her. She got up in the snow outside.

The old man quickly regained his strength, got up and picked up his knife and skinned the wolf. This skin is a good thing, and it is especially warm to sleep under the body in winter, and it would be great if you got a wolf cub's skin to make a coat!

Mei Ga wiped the blood stains off his coat, came back and looked at him skinning the wolf, and asked strangely: "Brother, why did you do it specifically on the back of the wolf?"

"The wolf is an iron-headed tofu waist, and the dog is an iron-waisted tofu head!"

"Oh, and that's the way it goes?"

"It's not a saying, it's actual experience!" he told her about the night.

At night, the old man Yu Yiba, who was particularly vigilant when he went out to sleep, suddenly heard the sound of the tent being torn outside the door, and gently got up and opened the curtain to look outside: there were six or seven black shadows moving rapidly on the snow outside the door...... Wolves! Hungry wolves in the wasteland!

If they let them rush in, it would be out of control! He tightened his belt, held the steel knife in his hand, quickly opened the door, and stabbed a wolf in the waist of the door, and a stream of blood rushed into his face, and the wounded wolf immediately fell and died.

The second one then lunged at him, he quickly drew his knife, and shouted with all his strength, "I'll kill you!" and stabbed the creature in the stomach and stabbed it in the stomach, and when he pulled back the knife to block the doorway, Meiga got up......

Mei Ga saw that the old man had dug out the wolf's heart and said, "Give it to me! Tonight, none of us will be."

I want to sleep! I'll make us a wolf heart and lung soup, and give your frightened heart food and nourishment to my brother

How's it going?"

Su Wu took advantage of the fine weather to dig three nests in a row along the slope where he lived, and the top was made of a bright tree, with thick soil pressing the roof, and the wooden grid sliding the door, which was strong and heavy.

On this day, the light was left to clean up the interior, and the weather changed abruptly. At night, the wind howls and the snow is as heavy as a feast. He lay on the couch, listening to the movement outside, thinking, thanks to the help of the mother and son, he has recently had some peaceful life, although there is no food to eat, but the underground grass roots and tree roots have solved a lot of problems.

On the evening of this sudden change in weather, Mei Ga and his retinue Yu Yiba happened to come to the place where two shepherds lived, and they decided to stay here for the night. The men of the two families were hospitable and helped them set up their tents.

The two hostesses made a sumptuous dinner, and the three families sat together for a hot mutton rice. Although the snow was strong and the wind was fierce at night, with two families as companions, Mei Ga was not greatly frightened. The next day it was still snowing, and they waited here.

The old man put grass on the cattle and lay down on the couch to sleep. He has the advantage that when he has nothing to do, he can sleep profusely, and when he has something, he is especially alert when he sleeps. At this time, it is a good time to replenish your physical strength.

Mei Ga walked out of her small room, saw the old man asleep, the three horses were napping together, she opened the curtains, looked at the overwhelming wind and snow outside through the thin parchment membrane and thought, how is Brother Su now, is he okay......

This was the first time in Mei Ga's life that he had traveled far away, and it was still in the season when the heavy snowstorm was raging. She wondered if she was a little stupid to do this for someone she thought she loved......

But now there is little turning back...... This reminded her of her husband who died in the wind and snow a year after she got married, when she went out to graze for a living...... I couldn't help but tear up.

The neighbor's seven or eight-year-old little boy in a fur hat looked through the window of his house and saw the opposite side, the uncle who came yesterday was looking out in front of the window, opened the door of his house and closed the door, came over and knocked on the window: "Uncle, Uncle!"
