Chapter 186: Wolf nature is hard to change
The one surnamed Wang continued: "The rumors of wolf spirits harming people here have intensified, and the surrounding aborigines have been frightened to move away, and gradually become a no-man's land. ”
"Alas!" Mei Ga sighed and said to her two sons, "Listen, no matter what happens to a person, he must want to live like these two uncles!"
"Kid wrote it down!" said Hai'er and Wei Yi resignedly.
They rested here for two days, ready to eat and drink, and the five of them went on the road together.
Because everyone had horses to ride, they walked most of the mountain roads on the first day. After dinner, after seeing her sons fall asleep, Mei Ga came out of the tent and saw that they were feeding five horses: "Two brothers, I see that you are very familiar with this mountain land!"
"For more than 20 years, the two of us have also thought about returning to Dahan, and we have also gone out of the mountains, and twice we even went into the desert. And when he saw many bones, he returned. ”
The surname Ma Di continued: "The two of us are not afraid of death. Instead, I thought that I came here for my life, and I went into the desert without any preparation, and I couldn't row if I died!"
"Yes, you can't row if you're dead!" said Mei Ga, "Feed the horses, rest well, and tomorrow, let's fight to get out of the mountain!"
With these two geographical acquaintances together, they walked out of the mountain for three days, and they completed it in one and a half days. At noon, after cooking a meal outside the mountain, they continued to walk south, where there was basically a desert between Dongjunji Mountain and Beilong Mountain in the north of Zhangye County in Jiuquan.
This desert is located between two mountains thousands of miles away, and the terrain is low, mostly sandy mounds and swamps, which are as difficult to walk as the Ecstasy Array. If you are not familiar with the terrain, it is better to walk in the desert dunes, but if you walk into the swamp, you will die.
Because of this, the Hu and Han sides were relatively weak in their management of this place, and it became an adventurous way for traders to come and go. Merchants believe that wealth is sought in danger.
In recent years, there have not been many wars between the Hu and Han sides, and this road has been relatively stable. One out
They rode on horseback and walked along the faintly visible camel path.
Turning a large hill, a caravan of two people came across the road. Mei Ga asked, "Brother, where are you coming from?"
"Jiuquan. ”
"How many days have you been here?"
"Xiaoxing stayed overnight, more than ten days. One of the other party looked at them all on horseback, "Brother, you ride horses, you will be there in seven or eight days!"
"Thanks!"
"No thanks!" the other party asked, "Are you passing by the mountain pass, can you walk?"
The old horse said, "Don't worry!
"That's good! Thank you!" the two greeted them happily and drove their camels past.
Lao Wang sighed with emotion: "I heard the people in the past say thank you, it's really good!
"Yes! Although we haven't killed anyone in the past few years, it's enough to make people in the past worry!
Mei Ga smiled and said, "No matter what, it's good to survive!"
"My brother is right! When we return home, we must cherish it and live well!"
When they came across sand and water, they galloped on horseback, and when they came across deep sand, they led their horses, and when it was dark they came to a large hill with a few bushes, and Mei Ga suggested, "You two, I see, we will rest here tonight!"
After they had a hot meal, after feeding the horses, they rested separately. In the middle of the night, a neighing of a horse woke Mega. She hurriedly woke up Hai'er and Weiyi beside her, and pointed to the back of the tent without making a sound.
Hai'er pulled Wei Yi and quietly got out of the back of the tent, and looked outside: Lao Wang and Lao Ma were leading their two good horses, and they were going to leave with food and drink. Hai'er whistled: "Huh-"
The two horses roared and kicked them over! They quickly lifted the horns of their robes and ran on their belts, each kicking them in the crotch.
The two rolled on the ground in pain and begged for mercy: "Brother spare your life!"
They each stomped on both of them. Hai'er said angrily: "It's not difficult to spare your life. I ask you, why did you two take revenge?" Hai'er said angrily.
"We, two, one thought, want to go home as soon as possible. The old king stammered.
"Then you can say! We can exchange it for you, how can you do it!"
With a horsewhip in hand, he opened the tent door and came out.
"Brother spare my life!" the two of them said pitifully.
"You are so wolf-like, even if you return home, it will be a scourge!" Mei Ga picked up his horsewhip and pulled them away.
Hai'er said, "Father, I'm coming!"
The two of them were busy kowtowing like pounding garlic: "Spare us, don't dare! We don't dare!"
Mei Ga said angrily: "Those who returned to the Han Dynasty with the envoys of Su have all been knighted! But you two scum?"
"Don't dare, spare us! Uncle, I will definitely listen to you and these two brothers in the future!"
Mei Ga glared: "What if you don't listen?"
"You will kill me both!" said the king, he swore an oath.
"That's what you said!" said to her son, "spare them for now!"
In the past few days, Mei Ga felt that they were the soldiers of the man Su Wu, who had suffered and suffered hardships in Hudi for nearly thirty years, and relaxed his vigilance against the two.
After this incident, I was educated. In front of the two of them, she told her son: "Hai'er, Weiyi, you two must monitor their movements on the road!"
"The child follows his father's teachings!" said in unison.
Mei Ga looked at Dongfang and said, "Pack your bags and open the way!"
This trouble, on the way, the three of Mei Ga ignored them. The two silently followed.
I didn't eat breakfast, and I galloped on horseback and crossed a river more than five feet wide. Mei Ga looked at the sun overhead, looked around, and found that there were two poplar trees that could provide shade by the river not far away, and there was some green grass, and said to her son, "Hai'er, Weiyi, let's go there to rest and eat." ”
The three of them rode over, leaving the two of them standing awkwardly on the ground. Lao Wang angrily blamed Lao Ma: "It's all your fault, you have to do that, you didn't say anything after being beaten, and you made it so embarrassing!"
"Then why didn't you stop me at that time, and follow me to escape?" the old horse retorted dissatisfiedly.
"It's all because we've lived these years as werewolves, and we really haven't changed our wolf nature!" Lao Wang slapped himself in the face and pondered, "The two of us really can't do without them, and when we return to Dahan, we have to let them testify to us!"
Lao Ma thought about it and said, "Let's go over and accompany the smiling face, kneel down and admit our mistakes!"
The three of them ate dry food and drank water. Horses grazing on the side. The two of them pulled their horses over and let go of the reins. Kneeling in front of them and kowtowing: "Uncle and little brother, the two of us were really confused at that time!
The two young men wanted to laugh, Mei Ga glared at them, and said to the two of them with a calm face: "Get up!"
She took out two pieces of naan from her skin and threw them to them: "Eat!"
"Uncle Xie!" Lao Wang took the food and said.
