Chapter 6 Road Encounters
He often has to huddle with Langar, because of the many days of getting along, he thinks that this companion who is younger than himself is very interesting, and he speaks Chinese very well, and wants to know him better. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although he was nominally Su Wu's retinue, he was actually a person sent by the emperor to assist Su Wu in his work. So he often asked, "Brother Lan, how old are you this year?"
Lagar asked naughtily: "What, do you want to marry Jinlan?"
"Hey, why do you speak so well in Chinese? Do you still understand the righteousness of our Han people?"
"Is it strange?"
"Yes!"
"Well," said Langar in deep thought, "my father was a merchant, and he used to do business in Han land, and I often followed him. In addition, I am also very smart!" "Actually, there were many Han people in Hudi, and the purpose of the Hu people to disturb the Han at that time was to occupy the land, and if they could not occupy the land, they plundered the property, and if they could not get the property, they plundered the Han people to Hudi to grow grain and vegetables for them, teach them to learn Chinese, and make them slaves. Hu Tuli listened to his daughter's answer and was very satisfied.
"Then you say, now that your life is stable, it is still as good as it used to be?" often asked.
Langar didn't know how to answer this question. Over the years, many confrontations with the Han army, the Han army's repeated encirclement and suppression of the Hu people, caused them to suffer a great loss of vitality, coupled with natural disasters, livestock died, and the Hu people were divided internally. Now they live in the desert and recuperate in the north...... He couldn't say this, let alone expose himself, so he was silent.
Su Wu listened to the conversation between the two of them, knew the intention of Changhui, and also felt the embarrassment of Langar. So he said, "You young people really don't know what it means to be tired!"
Chang would elbow his elbow and touch Langar and whisper, "Sleep!"
Langar listened to the soft voices of his friends around him and thought, this General Su is really a careful person, and he has relieved my embarrassment...... She fell asleep thinking about it, and she was indeed tired from a long day's work.
Three days later, at noon, they walked out of the ditch and entered the swamp on one side, and the sand dunes on the other, and the avenue where horses could travel freely. Su Wu calculated in his heart that the journey he had traveled in the past ten days was about half of the road from Yunzhong to the royal court. The two guides were really ok and took them along the bowstrings of the triangular bow. Although it was a rugged mountain road, it avoided the heat of the sandy land of the official road, and took a big shortcut.
Su Wu looked at the scorching sun, the bare Tuling sand dunes, the empty and treeless swamp with only a little grass, and everything that was desolate and uninhabited, and asked Hu Tuli: "Mr. Hu, is it safe to walk on this avenue?"
Hu Tuli replied: "Basically, it is safe, there are no major obstacles. ”
"It's noon, the sun is scorching, and we don't even have a place to rest!" Su Wu said worriedly.
Hu Tuli looked at the team, pointed to a soil ridge on the opposite side and said, "You can take a break there!"
"Okay!"
Under the leadership of Hu Tuli, where they went, they walked more than 20 battles away, there was a natural cave under the Loess Ridge that could accommodate 100 people, Su Wu and Zhang Sheng arranged for everyone to rest, and distributed lunch and water with them. Actually, this is the guide's request to bring food and water at noon today.
They rested for an hour and then set off again. Shortly after he walked onto the avenue, there was a cry from behind. Su Wu married the yak festival to Zhang Gen'er and let everyone rest in place. He and Chang Hui came on horseback, and Hu Tuli also got on the horse and followed. What they saw were two horse-riding bearded people, an old woman hunched on a horse crying, and a little girl of five or six years old rushing in front of them with a crying girl.
"Bold maniac!" Su Wu beat his horse to block the front, and often hit the horse to fly over and block the way.
The two Hu people looked at the front and back, and reluctantly reined in.
The old woman shouted, "Help!" and the little girl cried out, "Grandma, help me!"
Su Wu dismounted and asked, "Two strong men, why is this happening?"
One said, "He belongs to our tribe, and he will steal back to the clouds and be captured by us!"
Su Wu asked the old man again, "Really?"
Hu Tuli hurriedly helped the old man down from his horse and hugged the child. The old man cried and nodded, "I, my six-year-old son, yes, I am the ...... who forced Xie to come here more than 20 years ago."
After listening to the old man's intermittent crying, it turned out that the old man and his son, who was six years old at the time, had been robbed more than 20 years ago. When the son grew up, he married a local woman and gave birth to two daughters. Two years ago, the son died in battle, and the daughter-in-law took the eldest daughter to marry another, leaving the old man and the little granddaughter at home. Life is difficult, she doesn't want to die here, she wants to take this little one back to the clouds. They begged all the way south, and as soon as they walked onto the avenue in front of them, they were discovered.
Su Wu understood the old man's thoughts of returning to his roots, but he was facing a Hu guide who didn't know his identity, and he couldn't fight and snatch hostages with the two in front of him. I had to discuss: "I think so, this old man is also homesick, for the sake of her son who sacrificed for the interests of the Hu people, you should let her return to the clouds and return to her roots!"
The other party viciously: "No!"
Su Wu asked Hu Tuli: "Mr. Hu, please talk about your opinion!"
Hu Tuli came to know Su Wu as a guide, and he knew that the two Hu people would not let the old man go. So he flattered Su Wu and said, "Just do what you want!"
The older person on the other side said angrily to Hu Tuli: "You are also a Hu person, why do you speak for the Han people? No, they must not leave?"
Su Wu said angrily: "Why, you don't even want to let go of the old man and the child?"
"If you want to let it go, you can. The leader defiantly said, "Let's fight each other, if you can win, they can leave!
"That's what you said!Can't go back!" Su Wu said sternly.
"No repentance!" he said, pointing at Hu Tuli, "you are here to testify!"
Su Wu immediately took off his coat and often stopped him and said, "My lord, I'll come!"
"You take care of them!"
Su Wu was dressed in a leoted bodysuit, mighty and capable. He asked, "Are you going to come right away or are you going to come down and fight?"
"Come down!" he said dissatisfiedly, "I don't believe I can't beat you!"
So the two men fought with their bare hands. Su Wu is worthy of being a general, he is skilled in boxing, and he is elusive. The older Hu man did not show weakness, it seems that he is an expert in Hu Ren wrestling, but his movements are half a beat slower than Su Wu. After a few rounds, Hu Ren couldn't keep up with Su Wu's fast shots, and there were signs of defeat, but he was still resisting stubbornly. said that it was too late, and Su Wu hit him under the crotch with a kick, and Hu Ren screamed and fell to the ground. Su Wu was about to exert his might, but Hu Tuli stopped: "Your Excellency, forgive!"
He said to the other person who was staring at Su Wu blankly, "You guys don't want to get out of here?!"
He was reminded to quickly pick up his companion and take the horse with him.
"Thank you for saving your life!" the old man pulled his granddaughter up and knelt on the ground to worship, and said to his granddaughter, "Thank you, sir!"
With tears in her eyes, the granddaughter said, "Thank you, sir!"
Su Wu hurriedly helped the old man up, touched the child's head and said, "Don't be afraid!"
Su Wu looked at the children and said to Chang Hui: "Chang Hui, you and Zhao Gen'er rode horses and sent them to the camp in the clouds, and then came to chase us." You know the routine!"
He watched him. He will always immediately say, "Yes! In front of Hu Tuli, it is inconvenient for adults to explain anything more to themselves. He will follow the rules, let them explain everything about themselves, and hand it over to the cloud camp for the record......
