Chapter 8: Inseparable
Pei Rang secretly said that it was not good, so he wanted to step forward to protect her.
But she didn't plant it this time, but reflexively hugged the trunk to stabilize her body.
At the same time, a large black bird with plumage glowing with purple-blue metallic sheen and about an adult's arm passed in front of her.
She exclaimed, "What's that, crow?
"Dumbβ" The blackbird, who had already flown far away, seemed to tilt his head slightly.
Wei Yan looked down at Pei Rang: "Hey, don't you think it seems to be turning its head to look at me?"
Pei Rang looked up at the guards who were wrapped around the trunk of the tree with their hands and feet wrapped around them, like monkeys in clothes, lowered their heads, and smiled.
Seeing him like this, Wei Jian suddenly climbed upward, climbed to a high position from Pei Rang and the two of them, and then kicked the tree trunk under his feet, borrowed a backflip, and after flipping his body for a week, he grabbed a branch below with both hands, and the whole person hung in mid-air, his body swung back and forth a few times, and finally let go and landed steadily on the branch opposite Pei Rang.
Pei Rang, who was pale, breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she was deliberately scaring him, he could only shake his head helplessly, coughed in a low voice, and then said: "The raven just now should be raised by Wang Shiyilang, named Duyin, very humane, I heard that it was given to him by Kui's mother, if the rumors are true, this raven must be extraordinary." β
The outsider who was even more capable than Xu Zhenjun turned his head to look for the raven, and found that it had stopped on the roof of Wang Xuan's car and was combing its feathers with its beak.
Wei Jian had heard before that Wang Xuan had a big talking bird, and they were inseparable from each other, but she didn't know the origin of the bird.
However, the focus of her attention now is on Zhuji, and no matter how many questions she has about irrelevant people and things, she will put it around her head and forget it when she turns around.
Before, it was said that she was coming to see Zhuji, but in fact, it was mainly to get rid of Liang Zhu and plot against Pei Rang, but now that the goal has been achieved, a glance at Zhuji, who she is very familiar with, is enough.
Wei Jian and Pei Rang returned to the back of the team, and they only had two ox carts, with people in the front and goods in the rear.
At this time, the convoy had already set off, and the garrison went directly into the back of the bullock cart, turned over the boxes, took out his money pocket, picked it up, and his expression fell-living in the mountains, eating and drinking, how could he think of the importance of money.
Putting down the money pocket, she lifted the lid of the box on one side, and poured out the clothes on it, revealing the wine jar below, which was the aging wine she secretly moved out of her master's wine cellar, which was the best, and she was a little reluctant to hold it in her arms for a long time...... So she said to herself: Good steel is used on the blade, and good wine is used on the Hongmen banquet!
Then he carefully put the wine jar back, folded the clothes one by one to cover the wine jar, covered the box lid, got out of the canopy, squatted next to the coachman and beckoned to Pei Rang behind: "Brother!"
Pei Rang drove forward: "Huh?"
"Do you have any money on you?"
Pei Rang silently untied a bulging pocket from his waist and threw it away.
Wei Jian raised her hand to catch it easily, and checked it, the weight was very heavy, she smiled slightly, turned around and got back into the car, pulled open the bag, and poured all the contents on the lid of the box, looked at it closely, and almost turned her back on it - Pei Rang that guy actually put so many smooth and round small stones in his money pocket!
Wei Jia patiently squatted and picked out one by one, and finally picked out a total of sixty-six five-baht coins, which was not as rich as her!
Holding the sixty-six five-baht coins in both hands, he muttered, "Well, it's a good sign." But then he cried and lost his face: "Our brothers are not good at what to do together!" Frustratedly, he put back the five baht coins and stones on the lid of the box, took out the map drawn by Ya Jia and looked at it carefully, there were many cities along the way, but more of them were mountains and mountains, raised his hand and patted his head, and said with a smile: "There is!"
Throw Pei Rang's money pocket back to him, and muttered by the way: "You are not tired of loading so many stones?"
Pei Rang was stunned, holding his money pocket and not answering, and asked, "Don't you think they are very good-looking?"
Wei Ji replied to Pei Rang with a smile on his face, and then turned his head to look at Wei Yong next to him, and laughed so much that he called a weasel: "Uncle Yong - Uncle Yong!"
Seeing her like this, Wei Yong almost fell off the horse, and after finally stabilizing his figure, he clenched his fists slightly to cover his mouth, and coughed: "What does the young master command?"
Wei Jian beat his waist with one hand behind his back, and pinched his leg with the other hand in front of him: "This ox cart makes my back ache and leg cramps, Uncle Yong, lend me your horse to ride!"
This is a maxima sponsored by Sima Run, with an untamable wildness in his bones, but it is not something that a little girl can control lightly, so Wei Yong didn't want to think about it: "Don't borrow it." β
Wei Ji's smile didn't seem to change, and his voice remained soft and soft: "You say it again!"
But Wei Yong felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, he swallowed his saliva, raised his hand to wipe the sweat beads on his head, and snorted: "This horse is too dangerous for you." β
Wei Ji tilted his head slightly, looking innocent: "It will treat me well." β
Half an hour later, the guard carried an arrow bag and a curved bow in his hand, and rode through the forest, followed by Pei Rang and Liang Zhu.
Pei Rang had a number of pheasants and hares hanging on his horse's back, and he had a little difficulty chasing them.
And Liang Zhu was not only empty-handed, but also chattered behind her: "I said young master, let's go back when you've had enough, I don't know what is in this deep mountain and old forest, it's too dangerous for you." β
Ignoring him, the guard ran merrily, and after a few turns, he finally found a big one for her, and saw it standing in the grass, baring its fangs and mane, and looking very fierce.
"Wild boar!" Liang who was chasing after him exclaimed one by one, drove his horse to the side of the guard, locked his eyes on the wild boar, and said in a deep voice: "Young master, you are back, this is not a rabbit or pheasant coaxing you to play, you are not its opponent......"
Without waiting for Liang Zhu to finish speaking, with a whoosh, a feather arrow flew towards the wild boar, and the wild boar wailed in pain, but because of its rough skin and thick meat, it did not fall down immediately, but ran towards the guard.
Liang Chai shouted: "Young master, run!"
Wei Jian sneered, put the bow on the arrow, and a few arrows in succession, the arrow hit the vital point, and the speed of the wild boar slowed down significantly, but it still did not fall, Wei Jian threw the bow aside, and pulled out the sword on Liang Zhu's waist with his backhand: "Borrow a knife and use it." "Dismounted, flew up and kicked down the crumbling boar.
The wild boar struggled to get up, the guard took two steps forward, raised his foot and stepped on it, his hand raised and fell, the tip of the knife did not enter the side of the wild boar's neck, and pressed it to the side, seemingly cutting off its throat without much effort: "Give you a good time!"
The wild boar kicked its legs, and soon stopped moving, and the guard raised his foot and kicked to make sure that it was not reacting, and then smiled: "It's finally worth the trip." β
The stunned Liang Zhulao reacted for a long time, turned over and dismounted and walked over: "This is an inexperienced little pig, right? It's so easy to β‘β‘ away." β
The guard was silent, handed the bloody knife to Liang Zhu, and turned to pick up his bow.
Liang Zhu, who had touched a nail, continued: "Are you really a sister-in-law, I have never seen a thirteen-year-old sister-in-law who is as ruthless as you, and she doesn't blink an eyelid when she kills her......"
The silent defender who walked in front drew his bow and arrows again, then turned around, and suddenly fired, and the feathered arrow flew towards Liang Zhu.
Liang reflexively dodged, and the feathered arrow cut off a strand of hair scattered from his sideburns, grazed the roots of his ears, and finally nailed firmly into the trunk of a tree not far behind him.
Liang Zhu, who was leaning sideways, raised his eyebrows: "Hey?" Feeling that his cheeks were hot, he raised his hand to wipe it, and it was really bleeding, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Are you real?"
Wei Ji tilted his head and smiled, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my hand slipped." β
Pei Rang's ordinary horses were far inferior to the physique and endurance of Wei Jian and Liang Zhu's thousands of horses, and he carried so many prey, and he caught up with Wei Jian when he put down the wild boar, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned and said, "This?"
Wei Jian raised his chin: "Today's dinner." β
Then the garrison asked Liang to take the hare and pheasant to the nearby city to exchange for a few jars of good wine, while she and Pei Rang took the wild boar to the nearest open meadow by the mountains and rivers, according to the garrison's calculations, this open space should not be too far from the convoy camp.
Liang came back from changing wine, and Wei Yong sent him to deliver a message to Wei Yong, telling Wei Yong to go to the head of the Li family to contact herβwhat she was going to do next was to prepare under the banner of the Li family.
When she lit the fire and roasted the pig, the head of the Li family also arrived, and when she said that she wanted to get married in the name of the Li family, the head of the Li family readily agreed.
When the pig was cooked, Wei Jia cut off two pieces of good meat and asked Pei Rang to send the meat to his aunt and Yajia, while she stayed where she was and called for companionship.
The head of the Li family brought a dozen or so attendants, plus seven or eight newly befriended rangers, and Liang Zhu also called four or five teammates who could talk, and they ate a lot of meat and drank wine in a big bowl that night, and had a good time.
The next day, with the addition of the Li clan, the number of hunters increased, and the time was also abundant, and the garrison was much easier.
In the evening, they broke away from the convoy and found a quiet place to gather the rangers and passing merchants, and they spread the word from one hundred to hundred, and in just four or five days, their group gathered nearly two hundred people.
Under her skillful guidance, the topic of wine accompaniment almost all revolves around "what kind of money does Wang Xuan have?", "How thrilling is Zhuji's beauty!".
In the blink of an eye, it was fifteen, Wei Ji calculated, and said to Pei: "It's almost." He deliberately took out a jar of wine from the box and hugged it in his arms: "If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return!"
