Chapter 11: Extraordinary Times
"Hey, that's what we're best at!!, all rest!" said Hutuli, and Rangel pulled the fat, bloodied and struggling horse, and threw it on the grass beside him.
Often lit by a torch, Hu Tuli drew his waist knife and inserted it into its heart accurately, not moving for a while. The two of them picked a young pony and stabbed him in the heart......
The two of them each had a horse, and they only listened to the swift movement of the knife...... In a moment the horseskin was peeled off. I often look at their skillful swordsmanship and think, this Hu man is really powerful, I don't know how many cattle, sheep and horses have been harmed in my life......
Hu Tuli broke the horse's belly with a knife, and Rangel reached in and grabbed a bloody and steaming heart and handed it to Chang Hui: "Brother Chang, take it!"
He saw that it was still beating in her hands, and he didn't dare to take the bloody things, but he couldn't show timidity, so he pulled a handful of grass and put it on the ground: "Put it on this, clean." ā
Zhang Sheng led people to clean up the battlefield, arranged the people who stood guard, and when she entered the tent, she lay down, and soon fell asleep. Su Wu was also very tired, but he couldn't sleep, so he walked out of the tent and sat down against a camel lying on the ground, not daring to close his eyes.
Over the years, although there has been no royal court in the Northern Desert, small groups of Hu people have invaded the Han land from time to time. What happened just now is really scary......
He looked at Hu Tuli not far away and saw that he was busy concentratingly, got up and circled around the tent and camels and horses, woke up Zhang Sheng and said, "Arrange a man, make a firewood and cook meat!"
Zhang Sheng was embarrassed: "The water we have stored is just enough for everyone to drink tomorrow!"
"Take out half of the meat and cook it! and half of it for the barbecue!"
"Okay!" Zhang Sheng happily arranged.
Su Wu walked up to Hu Tuli and asked, "Mr. Hu, can this horse meat be roasted and eaten?"
"These horses we picked are not very old, tender and can do it!" he replied busily with his head down.
"Do you eat horse meat a lot?"
"I don't want to!" he straightened up and explained, "Tonight is an extraordinary time, and if we don't eat tomorrow, we will be wolves!
When the meat went down to the pot, there was often a firewood fire, and Wrangel directed the men to roast the meat......
Su Wu and Hu Tuli sat down against the camel lying on the ground, and Hu Tuli said gratefully: "Master Su, thank you for saving my life!"
"Where do you start?"
"You are not afraid of the bandits! Otherwise, I will only have a short knife, and I will be hacked to death by them!"
"It's all your own people, haven't you saved the team many times?"
"That's my responsibility!"
"It's my responsibility to save you!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Su Wu thought about it and said, "Let's go see that young man!"
After his arm was fixed with the medicine, he lay down in the doctor's tent and rested for a while, and it didn't hurt too much. He was so frightened that he couldn't sleep, thinking about the annihilation of the head man just now...... My life is really big......
Su Wu and Hu Tuli opened the curtain and came in, he sat up all of a sudden, frightened: "I'm not a bad person!"
"Don't be nervous, we're here to ask about you and the tribe!" Su Wu sat beside him, kindly.
During the conversation, we learned that his name was Kent, and that he wanted him to be as majestic and healthy as Mount Kent. But when he was five years old, foreign tribesmen seized his livestock, beat his father and mother to death, and he became a slave......
"Is it your current head who killed your Abba and Aunt?" asked Su Wu.
Dekent shook his head and replied, "They're in a group." ā
Hutuli asked them what the name of the tribe was and where it was...... He answered them one by one.
It turned out that these people were people from the tribes along the road in front, and they had to pass through it and prepare to rest there. Now this can't be done, lest this group know about seeking revenge, and tomorrow the team will have to take a detour.
They returned to the tent, Hu Tuli took out the road map he had drawn himself, and studied how to get there with Su Wu, and when they decided on a plan, the sky was already bright.
The horse meat was ready, they woke everyone up for a good meal, and the team left the place of right and wrong before it was too late, and walked briskly along the trail in the fringing hills.
In the afternoon saw the real steppe. The green, the green grass, the green trees, and the scent of green grass are filled with the air as if the blue sky is reflecting the vibrant green.
The Hu envoys, who had been in the Han Dynasty for many years, saw the grassland and happily said: "We are back! We are going home!"
Wei or forgot about the pain, let the soldiers help him dismount, kneeling on the grass and whining
Whimpered and cried.
It was ten years ago, Juli Lake Shan Yugang succeeded to the throne, in order to have a good relationship with the Han Dynasty,
He was sent to lead an envoy to the Han to sue for peace, and the Han also sent the corresponding envoy to Hu
Mutual visits.
Who knew that this little Shan Yu broke his promise, detained the envoys, sent troops to attack Jiuquan County, and plundered the border people of the small countries along the road in the west, which provoked the anger of the Han Emperor......
It is we, the soldiers who have been visiting each other, the soldiers who have been fighting, and the ordinary people who have suffered so repeatedly.
Wei or crying, and the more than 60 people who escorted back all dismounted and knelt in sadness. No matter how long they stay in Dahan, they are in the same mood as him at the moment.
Seeing this, Hu Tuli picked up Wei Or and comforted him: "Uncle Wei, it's good to be home!"
Wei Or wiped his tears and said, "IāI'm happy! I didn't expect that I would be alive and go home!"
Hu Tuli said to his compatriots kneeling on the ground: "Brothers, we will soon be home, and we will soon see our relatives, so we should be happy! Everyone get up! Let's walk for another hour, and when we reach a place where there is water, we will set up a tent to rest, and have a good look at the grassland!"
Walking into the grassland, the weather is cool, and the road is easy to walk. The team stayed overnight, and at noon three days later, they arrived next to Yuwushui, a tribe with more than 30 families. There is an official post station for the Yihu people.
Contacted by their guides, the group pitched their tents on an empty and dry bag of sand. Soon the post station brought grain, mutton, firewood, and scarce vegetables, and the team cooked for themselves.
Several sick Hu envoys saw their hometown and got much better. After the meal, they sat in the warm sunshine and happily talked about their plans for returning home.
Hutuli and Rangel took Dkent and went to find the shaman here.
Su Wu and Zhang Sheng arranged to stand guard, and walked along the river bank to check the terrain with the regular meeting.
There are grasslands along both sides of the river, and there are trees in the living area, mostly shrubs, and very few poplars and birches. They walked up to the hill not far behind the tribe, and Su Wurang Chang would take out a compass and determine the direction.
The river in front of you flows from south to north, although the mountain is invisible to the naked eye, it can be concluded that the west of the river should be the edge of Yanran Mountain introduced by the topographic expert Lu Daren.
