From this afternoon, the two of them walked north.

It's just that Shu'e became even more silent. Tanglin just walked in front of Shu E to guide, or silently followed behind Shu E. Except for eating and lodging, the two hardly talked a word.

On the second day, it was nearly evening, Shu E looked at the sunset in the west, was stunned for a while, and suddenly said to Tanglin: "Brother Dongling, you have walked a lot today, right?" ”

The two had just passed a fork in the road, and the white horse of Tanglin walked in front of the snowhoof. Hearing this, Tanglin looked ahead and nodded, and said, "If you are not tired, walk for half an hour and have a good inn in Lanzhou." ”

Shu E said: "Is it almost Lankan yet?" ”

Tanglin didn't answer, and while reining in the horse, he stretched out his right hand and waved it at Shu'e.

Shu E didn't know what was going on, so she hurriedly restrained her snow hooves and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Tanglin stared at the front and was silent, his expression was very solemn.

Shu E was shocked, but then she heard the faint sound of wings fluttering and the sound of "coo-coo" in front of her, and there seemed to be the sound of a woman shouting.

Shu'e was stunned, shook the reins, and urged the horse to run forward, while picking up the pigeon whistle in her neck and blowing it.

Turning around a sparse forest, Shu E's two white doves flapped their wings and flew over. It's just that one pigeon's feathers are a little red, and another feather is falling from the sky, and the other pigeon, although he heard the pigeon's whistle, did not fly in front of Shu'e. Shu E raised her eyes and saw that a large bird with wings spread about two feet long was swooping down from the sky to the bottom of the sky, and the target it was Shu'e's other white dove.

The white dove flapped its wings and kept making a "cooing" sound. One of the white dove's legs and feet, however, was half-bent and could not be straightened, and it seemed that he had been seriously injured.

Shu E was shocked, she didn't have time to think about it, her feet touched the belly of the snow hoof, and her legs forcefully indicated the direction of the snow hoof, and when the snow hoof approached, the big bird's mouth like an iron hook was just about to choke the white pigeon, and the horse whip in Shu E's hand also waved out of the way.

The whip "snapped" was followed by the cry of the big bird suddenly in pain, and the sound of sudden flapping of wings and high flight.

Shu E stretched out her hand to take the two white doves, and was about to visit them, when she suddenly heard a crisp shout in front of her, Shu E didn't understand what she was saying, but the big bird seemed to have received some order, and swooped down at Shu E again.

Shu E felt the white dove in her hand tremble, as if she was telling her master about fear and pain. Shu E had never seen such a fierce bird, and when she saw that it was still about to pounce on the injured pigeon, she was slightly angry in her heart, and waved her whip with her backhand and hit the big bird.

It's just that Shu'e didn't want to hurt it, and the whip landed on the wings of the big bird. There was a crisp sound of "pop", a few pieces of bird feathers flew away, and the big bird's head flapped its wings and flew away without looking back.

The remnant sun is like blood.

The interaction between the red sunset and the gradually dimming sky forms a poignant but infinitely magnificent picture in front of Shu'e's eyes.

The big bird spreads its wings and flies towards the setting sun.

A horse with a coat that was shining in the setting sun flew as if it were flying. 、

The horse came so fast, and the big bird had not yet gone far, and the horse had already galloped over.

Shu E Shu E saw that there was someone sitting right away, and knew that this was the person who shouted the big bird, and before he could see who it was, and before he could speak, the man had already taken out a bow from nowhere, pulled out an arrow from behind his back, bent the bow and took the arrow, and with a whoosh, a long arrow had been shot towards Shu E.

From the appearance of the horse, to the person on the horse bending the bow and arrow, to the long arrow leaving the bow and flying towards Shu E like a meteor, it was actually a matter of an instant.

As soon as the long arrow left the bow, she heard another exclamation from the person on the other side, Shu E only felt that this person was talking so strangely, and before she remembered what it meant, a horse whip was raised and hooked the long arrow that flew like a gallop.

It was Tanglin who arrived in time.

The white horse stopped in front of Xuehoof, Shu E looked at the figure of Tanglin, stunned, and suddenly settled down. Only then did he gaze ahead.

The man on the horse was dressed in a maroon robe, and his belt hung down, but it was a deep, almost black dark red. This person had his back to the setting sun, and he couldn't see his face clearly for a while, but his snow-white face was clear.

If it weren't for the crisp shouting sound that she had heard earlier, Shu E would have thought she was a man when she saw this person at first glance, and looking at this outfit.

The woman had apparently seen Shu'e and Tanglin as she approached, and as she approached at a gallop, she put away the bow in her hand, but put her fingers between her lips and let out a clear whistle.

The big bird flew in response, and a few circled and landed on the woman's shoulder.

Shu E saw the woman galloping on the horse, as if she was breathing and blinking. You can also bend your bow and shoot arrows on a fast horse, and the arrows you shoot are so sharp.

At this moment, Shu E saw the woman staring at herself, with a little pride, a little charming, and a little heroism in her eyes, and Shu E also had a little admiration and vigilance in her heart.

Tanglin seemed to be sideways in front of Shu E, and asked the woman, "This goshawk was raised by a girl?" The two brothers were in a hurry, and they had no intention of offending the girl......"

Shu E had only heard her grandfather talk about eagles, and she knew that she was a very fierce bird, but it was the first time she had seen it. I heard my grandfather say that hunters have a method of falconry called "boiling eagles", once the eagle is tamed, the eagle will help the hunter hunt, and will be extremely obedient to the master's orders.

The woman's big black eyes rolled on Tanglin, her eyes were clearly disdainful, and she snorted clearly, but she didn't talk to Tanglin, she still looked at Shu'e without blinking.

Shu'e has been taken care of by Tanglin all the way, and just now it was Tanglin who arrived in time to save her, and she is infinitely grateful to Tanglin in her heart. Before the words of thanks could be uttered, I suddenly saw someone so rude to Tanglin, and my heart was very angry, and I saw the goshawk resting on the woman's shoulder looking at the white dove in her arms, as if it would swoop down at any time.

Shu E drove forward and said coldly to the woman, "Why, didn't you hear what this big brother said?" ”

The woman saw Shu E step forward, but the expression on her face suddenly became more relaxed. Listening to Shu E's question to her, she didn't pay attention to Shu E's unkind words, but she looked Shu E up and down and smiled.

Only half of the sun's face remained, and the surrounding clouds were dark black in their magnificence, as if they were integrated with the woman's robes.

I don't know if the color of Caixia dyed the woman's fair cheeks, and the woman's face was flushed, adding a bit of brightness and beauty.
