Chapter 40: Henggong Fish 3
The snow eagle in her hand was still struggling from time to time, Tsing Yi's brows were more and more wrinkled, she looked at Hei Saburo with a blank look, and saw that Hei Saburo did not look displeased, and said boldly: "And I heard that cooking with a frightened living creature will greatly reduce its taste......
"Then raise it for two days, and then let Master Gao clean it up." Hei Saburo waved his hand indifferently, and looked at the snow eagle from head to toe several times and said, "Just feed more food, it's better to get fatter!" ”
Tsing Yi was suddenly pardoned, and he hurriedly took the snow eagle to the kitchen.
Master Gao is especially good at slaughtering livestock, smelling that the snow eagle sent in Tsing Yi will be kept in captivity for a few days, so he turned out a chicken cage and stuffed the snow eagle into it, smashed his mouth and said: "Not bad, this eagle looks fat and delicious, when the time comes, I will boil the pot and boil the water to scald off the feathers, and quickly cut the stomach and intestines, and then you add some ingredients to cook well, it must be extremely delicious." ”
As he spoke, he sharpened the sharp knife in his hand and smiled toothily at the wolf snow eagle in the chicken coop.
Snow Eagle seemed to feel Master Gao's infinite coveting and full of malice, and immediately kept flapping his wings restlessly.
"Don't scare it." Tsing Yi took a rag and put it on top of the chicken coop, and when he heard the snow eagle inside slowly stop tossing, and finally quieted down, he sighed slightly and said, "I was going to eat it, so why scare it, and scare it too much." ”
Master Gao's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said seriously: "But in two days, how many taels of meat can you drop?" Tsing Yi, you are too worried, you just have to wait, my knife is fast, my movements are sharp, and I am sure that the fresh ones will be handed over to you after the killing. ”
Tsing Yi didn't say much anymore, nodded slightly, and walked out with a wooden face, carried back the basket of fish brought back by the dead wood and put it into the pool, looking at the few leisurely and strange fish, she knew very well in her heart that for those ingredients to be slaughtered, the sharpest and fastest knife may be the greatest mercy she could give.
After another glance at the pool, Tsing Yi finally selected a big tail fish with a red body and tentacles on its forehead, and then she turned her head calmly and said, "Master Gao, borrow your sword." ”
The carriage moved slowly, the snow creaking slightly under the horses' hooves and wheels.
The attendant on the horse listened attentively for a while, only to find that the snow field was silent, and in addition to the whirring of the wind, all that was left was the sound of the horses' hooves and the wheels of the wheels.
The leader remained in the middle of the procession, guarding the carriage for a moment, and without receiving any other instructions, he led the group all the way to the southeast that the leader had pointed out earlier.
The team without words just marched forward in an orderly manner.
Unexpectedly, when they had been walking for about an hour, the horses who had been obedient and honest suddenly became restless.
They refused to go any further, so they stopped in such a restless and nervous way, and kept shaking their heads and snorting rapidly.
The attendants on the horses □□felt as if they were frightened, and kept stepping in place, and at last they raised their front legs and jumped high, neighing in panic one after another.
"Phew—Phew—" The attendant Dongqiao frowned suddenly, and he skillfully tightened the reins while tapping the horse's belly with his legs, trying his best to suppress the horse's restlessness and calm it down.
His horse training skills have always been superb, and this moment is no exception, successfully subduing frightened horses in three or two strokes. At the same time, the others behind him slowly subdued their mounts.
Seeing that the horse had finally quieted down, Dongqiao leaned over and touched the horse's head, and whispered, "It's okay......"
Before he could finish speaking, he watched as several large round snowballs rolled straight towards them.
Dongqiao's heart suddenly tightened, and before he had time to turn around, he hurriedly raised his hand with his back to the others and made a few vigilant gestures.
The team stopped suddenly.
"What's going on? What's going on up ahead? Seeing that the leader of the team, Dongqiao, had stopped the team, Fang Zhou frowned and asked in a low voice.
"Something is in front of you." An attendant quietly replied, "I don't know what it is, so I rolled over and blocked the way, and even the horse was startled." ”
"There's something weird about this place, and those things aren't safe." Fang Zhou clenched his horsewhip tightly, and said without hesitation, "Let the two people in front of the team protect Ah Lang's carriage, and then tell Dongqiao to bypass those unknown strange things, don't touch them, and we will continue on our way." ”
"Yes." The retinue took the order, followed closely, and the queue turned its direction slightly, and began to continue on its way again.
The cold wind mixed with a little ice chips was blowing continuously in the face.
The east bridge rode forward, while occasionally turning his eyes to pay attention to the surroundings.
As far as the eye can see, the entire snowfield is white and empty, with no mountains and forests, no people, only endless snow.
The sun that was still in the east had risen overhead, and the white light on the snowfield was getting stronger and stronger, and even though he was covered with a black veil, he still felt a little dazzling.
It was all that, but the big snowballs, who didn't know what they were, followed them without giving up, and every now and then suddenly rolled in front of his horse, and made his horse jump incessantly.
Although he wanted to break through those strange snowballs to see what was going on, Higashibashi always remembered the leader's orders, so he resisted this urge and kept turning around to avoid them.
After more than half an hour, the whole team was completely unaware that they had unconsciously deviated from the predetermined route and turned back to the direction they had come.
Tobashi, who was at the head of the team, soon found that the snowballs that always deliberately rolled under his horse's hooves had for some reason changed their minds, and they stopped one after another, and finally stopped following them.
It seems that these things just like to harass passers-by, and what the leader said is really good, and it will be okay to avoid it a few times. Dongqiao thought so in his heart, and then he clamped the horse's belly hard, driving the horse to speed up its pace.
The team, misguided by the strange snowball, picked up speed for the rest of the day, but in half an hour, it was more than three times as far as before.
When the sun was in the west, the normally cautious Ark suddenly noticed that there was a problem with the direction of the sun's deflection, and only then did he realize that the team was in the wrong direction, and he was shocked for a moment.
Before he could restrain his horse and stop the procession, a loud noise suddenly broke out in the carriage, as if someone had strained the small teacup table against the side wall of the carriage, and the whole carriage shook violently a few times.
"Ah Lang, Ah Lang, what's wrong with you?" A scholar shouted in fear, "Don't scare the little book! ”
"Xiaoshu, don't cry, quickly take out Ah Lang's medicine." Although the voice of the other scholar was also very panicked, it was calmer in the end, and he could still think of calling the ark for help in an emergency, "The ark-the ark-Ah Lang is sick again-"
The ark jumped off his horse when he heard the loud noise, and with a few great strides he threw himself in front of the carriage and lifted the curtain of the door.
I saw that the objects in the carriage were smashed and smashed, and it was a mess. Xiao Shu, one of the scholars, was squatting on the right back of the soft couch and was hurriedly rummaging through the medicine box for medicine bottles, while the other scholar Xiao Yan was lying on a person's back, gritting his teeth and desperately pressing the other party to prevent him from moving, while trying to raise his head and shout his name to the carriage door with a panicked face.
As soon as he saw Fang Zhouyan's face appear in front of him, Xiao Yan said eagerly as if he had seen a savior: "Ah Lang was sleeping, but somehow he suddenly started to go crazy, and jumped up from the soft couch with a fight, muttering and muttering without knowing what to say, and then kept smashing things-"
"Where's the medicine?" Fang Zhou bent down and got into the carriage at once, stretched out his hand and gently boarded the head of the person who was still struggling and moving after being pressed by Xiao Yan, and slowly turned in his direction.
A grim and iron-faced face appeared in front of the Ark's eyes. It bared its teeth and stared at the originally gentle phoenix eyes, the whites of its white eyes were full of red or blue veins, its slightly amber pupils turned up, the scattered green silk was randomly attached to its face, and the flesh of its cheeks was even tightened by the exaggerated expression, which looked very terrifying.
This is not Ah Lang's face.
Fang Zhou's fingers tightened slightly, followed by a sinking of his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Little book! What about medicine? ”
"Coming—coming—" Xiaoshu panicked and took out a celadon bottle from the medicine box, and hurried to deliver it.
I don't know if Fang Zhou's eyes were too cold, or the medicine word stimulated Ah Lang who was ill, Xiao Yan, who had already suppressed Ah Lang, only felt that the people under him moved violently, and suddenly his eyes flickered, and most of the strength in his hand was unloaded, and then, he flew out, and his back slammed into the wall of the carriage.
The horses outside the carriage were frightened, and in an instant they raised their front hooves and neighed loudly, and at once they broke free from their attendants and galloped wildly.
Fang Zhou's face was even darker, and Ah Lang, who was sick, didn't know where he got the strength, but he was able to throw out the little inkstone that was pressing on his back with all his strength, and seeing that he was about to get up and attack him, he leaned over without thinking, and twisted Ah Lang's arm and pressed him down in the carriage.
The carriage was still galloping, and several people in the carriage only felt that their bodies were shaking.
Ah Lang tilted his head and let out a terrible cry of pain, and the little book on the side suddenly cried when he heard it: "Ah Lang, Ah Lang, don't scare the little book!" Fang Zhou, you should be lighter, what if you break Ah Lang's arm? Woo-woo-"
"I can't care about it now, now that the carriage is in a hurry, if Ah Lang is allowed to run out, the situation will be even worse!" Fang Zhou also heard Ah Lang's screams, but he didn't let go of his heart at all, but changed his posture, pressed Ah Lang's back tightly with his knees, pressed Ah Lang's arm with one hand, pinched Ah Lang's face with the other hand and raised his head slightly, followed by raising his head and shouting at Xiaoshu with a stern expression, "Don't hurry up and pour the medicine down to Ah Lang!" ”
"Yes-" Hearing this, Xiaoshu hurriedly shook his hand and pulled off the cork, knelt down with a plop, and poured the medicine out of Ah Lang's forced open mouth in one go, crying, "Ah Lang, swallow it quickly, you will definitely be fine after taking the medicine!" ”。
