Chapter 8: Keeping Alive
Chapter 8: Keeping the Living
Su Wu pondered for a while, and then discussed with the two gently: "Brother, for the sake of the old man who has worked hard for you all his life, and even his son has sacrificed for the interests of your clan, let the old man return to the clouds and return to his roots!"
The young man viciously said, "No!"
Su Wu looked at Hu Tuli sternly: "Mr. Hu, what do you think about it?"
He knew that the two Hu people would not let the old man go. This is just a good test of Su Wu's ability. So he said to him, "Do as you will!"
The elder on the other side said angrily to Hu Tuli: "You are also a Hu person, why do you speak for the Han people? This is not good, they must not leave!"
Su Wu said angrily: "What, don't you even want to let go of the old man and the doll?" The young man provoked: "It's okay to let it go." Let's take a two-to-one test, if you are
If they can overcome me, they can leave. If you lose, even you will die!"
"This, but you said it! You can't go back!" Su Wu said seriously and sternly.
"No repentance!" he said to Hutuli, "you come to testify!"
Chang Hui stepped forward and said to Su Wu: "My lord, I'll come!"
"You take care of them!" Su Wu took off his coat and threw it to Chang Hui, dressed in a lean corset and asked, "Do you come right away, or do you want to come down on a horse?"
"Horse down!" the young man said dissatisfiedly, "I am an expert wrestler, I don't believe I can take you!"
The young Hu people simply looked down on the Han people. He stared at Su Wu and made a move, the two of them were bare-handed, you come and go, no matter whether you win or lose.
Su Wu used to accompany Taishou's father in Daijun and learned wrestling with Coach Huren. He is very smart, can draw inferences from others, learns quickly, and can also overcome the enemy according to local conditions. Now it's just time to practice.
This Hu man saw that he couldn't win against Su Wu in a hurry, so when Su Wu retreated, he pounced on him and wanted to hug his waist. Su Wu dodged nimbly, stretched out his foot and kicked him on the calf, and with a tom, he fell to the ground.
"No, no!" said the old man, "I'd better come!"
"No!" said Hutuli, "it's one-on-one!"
He would often come and say, "My lord, I'm here for him!"
"It's as important as looking at people!" Su Wu said to Hu Tuli, "Let him come!"
Ginger is worthy of being old and spicy. The wrestling skills of the older ones are much better than those of the younger ones. After a few rounds, Su Wu was a little overwhelmed and sweating profusely.
The old man saw that he was powerless, gritted his teeth and forced him towards him with a black tiger heart-digging posture, his rhythm was half a beat slower than Su Wu, and the nimble Su Wu gritted his teeth and jumped over.
He pressed forward step by step, and Su Wu had no chance to fight back, only to dodge flexibly and look for opportunities. After dodging this time, he took the opportunity to grab one of his arms with his backhand, and used all his strength to slam it outward, and Hu Ren fell to the ground with a scream.
Su Wu wanted to fall, and often rushed forward to hug him.
Hu Tuli said to the young Hu people who were stunned: "Young man, don't help the people who pick you up and go quickly!"
The young man was reminded, glared at Su Wu unconvinced, picked up the old man, and led the horse away.
"Thank you for saving your life!" the old man hurriedly pulled his granddaughter, "Thank you, sir!"
"Old man, frightened" Su Wu helped the old man up, stroked the child's head and said, "Listen to Grandma!"
The child burst into tears and said sensibly: "Thank you, uncle!"
Su Wu put on his coat, looked at the two of his ancestors and grandchildren, and said to Chang Hui in contemplation: "Chang Hui, you and Zhao Gen'er, after sending them back to the camp in the clouds on horseback, come after us again!
Su Wu looked at the regular meeting.
"Always do as told!" he knows. In front of Hu Tuli, it was inconvenient for Master Su to tell anything. He will follow the routine and let them explain everything about themselves and hand it over to the Yunzhong garrison for the record......
The two of them often took horses to send the old man and his granddaughter back to the clouds, taking the shortcut they passed. This road is a second march of horses, and it is found that there are more than 20 miles of difficult roads to enter the mountains at both ends, and it is a rugged sheep intestine trail that disappears from time to time.
Walking inward in the middle gradually became a road that could be used to fight horses, and it was also a place where the Shijia mountain people made a hidden place for their own safety.
In addition to feeding the horses and resting with them, the two sturdy young men ran day and night, and it took them just over five days to go back and forth, and they caught up with the team on the afternoon of the sixth day.
The procession entered the desert realm, and the endless desert and sand dunes stretched infinitely like carved prints, which was shocking.
They traveled to a place where there was water, Su Wu discussed with the guide, rested for half a day, prepared ten days of dry food and water for everyone, and set off with them.
One day, the team trekked along the Dao Sand Ridge on the golden sand
Enter, although very tired, the sun is mild, and the breeze is quite pleasant.
At noon, God was angry. The wind is blowing, the sand is flying, and the sky is obscured. People and animals can't open their eyes, they can't move their feet, they can't walk.
Seeing the direction of the wind, Hu Tuli ordered everyone: "All of you join hands and retreat flat to the right against the wind!"
Su Wu then shouted: "Everyone obey the command of the guide! The sergeants will carry out their own tasks, and quickly help the people and animals to retreat to the flat ground!"
Everyone held hands on the left and right, and the sergeants pulled the reins of camels and horses, and retreated against the wind and sand. Three feet away from the sand ridge, Hu Tuli asked everyone to stop and lie down with his head in front of the wind and sand.
After about half an hour, the wind finally got tired and the sand couldn't fly. People opened their eyes and stood up, spitting out the sand that had been drilled into their mouths, and looked at the sand ridge not far behind them, which had been filled with sand.
Everybody gasped, thank God the guide, otherwise, all of them would have died in the sandstorm. Su Wu gave Hu Tuli a huhu salute and said sincerely: "Thank you!"
"You're welcome!" Hu Tuli said, "Walking in the desert, encountering wind and sand, you must first go to flat ground, face the wind and sand and lie down with your head in the face, so as to protect your life!"
Su Wu looked at the weather and discussed with him: "Lao Hu, do you say that you want everyone to drink saliva and eat something on the spot?"
He looked at the sky, and the dust was receding, but he could see the sun and say, "Okay!"
Everyone chewed dry food and drank water on the spot. Camels can endure many days without food at a time, but horses cannot, and they have to add forage every day. It's no different in the desert, otherwise you won't be able to walk.
The groom gave each of the horses a few black beans, and the horses were chattering. The camel watched with its eyes open, its mouth moving, and its nose puffing and blowing sand to give advice. Seeing this, Su Wu instructed the groom to give the camels some food.
After the team restarted, Su Wu and Hu Tuli took the lead. Su Wu asked: "Mr. Hu, you let the team go to flat ground, I think that's the truth." Because the ground is flat, it can't stop the wind and sand, but it can save life. Isn't that right?"
He happily, "Scholars, it's good, you can tell the truth in trouble!"
"Have you read a book?"
"When it's time for me to study, I follow my parents on horseback. Later, when I got older, I had time to study and was very busy, so I just studied with the Han people for half a year. ”
