Chapter Seventy-Eight: The New Year's Gift
Fortunately, Ding Si'er didn't make fun of her, and happily picked up a few skins, "These are the brothers in our army who made up for Gu Niangzi, and the lady funded the construction of Buddhist caves for those of us who are alive and those who have served the country, the brothers are thinking of your good, these things are not worth anything, but they are all a piece of the brothers' hearts, and the lady is not suspicious."

"What's not to like, Ding Cangcao laughed. The big guy's mind, the wind spirit took it, and it was said that the money should have been given, but the captain didn't wait to see the money and silk, and he didn't know what to do. Feng Ling's heart was slightly hot, it was very ironing, the government soldiers were affectionate, but she couldn't accept it with peace of mind, "In this way, Feng Ling bought some good wine and sent it to Ding Cangcao, and invited everyone to eat wine during the New Year's holiday, and the right to be a thank you gift, how about it?" ”
Ding Si'er waved his hand again and again, "Gu Niangzi doesn't spend that money, it's really nothing." I am afraid that the brothers will not be able to eat it. ”
"How do you say that?"
"Do you remember that in the middle of the New Year's Festival last year, Helu took advantage of the celebration of everyone in the city and attacked the city gate?" Ding Si'er said: "This time, Captain Yandu has given an order, and the government army will inspect martial law inside and outside the city, and it will never be possible to teach thieves to disturb the year." ”
"Isn't that a year long gone?" The wind spirit exclaimed.
Ding Si'er touched the back of his head, "In the past three or two years, it is not very tight that the New Year will not be over, if you teach Ashina Helu to drill into the void again, I am afraid that there will be no better New Year in the future." He didn't want to say much about the affairs of the army, so he stopped his mouth when he said this, and then turned back to these furs, "Gu Niangzi quickly called someone to help him, so that he could unload all of this." ”
Feng Ling smiled and patted his head, "Look at me, Ding Cangcao braved the cold to send these, and I even taught Ding Cangcao to stand here and eat cold wind." These Kimbers will clean up, and let's go have hot tea inside. ”
Saying that, she beckoned Kimber to take someone to unload the ox cart, and led Ding Si'er into the front hall to roast and eat tea.
Aunt Jin's freshly cooked jujube cheese, Ding Si'er ate two cups, talked to Feng Ling for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.
The wind spirit sent him out of the gate, and turned back into the courtyard, staring at the various skins in a daze. The Buddha slave settled the account, jumped out of the inner room, picked up the white fox skin and said straightly, "This color, this quality, it's rare, ...... aunt"
"Hunting ......" Feng Ling's face showed regret, "It's boring to not teach me to have this fun!" She dropped the last sentence angrily, and went to the inner courtyard without looking back.
After a while, he ran out of the inner courtyard again, changed into a tunic robe, jumped to the outer courtyard in a few steps, and shouted, "Get some wild things outside the city, which one will go with me?" ”
After two consecutive calls, the parts in the courtyard came out one after another, and the older one responded: "Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the eldest lady is going to go outside the city?" ”
"Grab some game, and roast it tomorrow night to get some wine." Wind Spirit's interest was surprisingly high, "Go to someone, go to the stable, and lead my big black horse out." ”
The young and stubborn trilogy couldn't hold back for a long time, and was ready to move, "Auntie, I'll go with you." "Auntie, take me." ……
Feng Ling waved his hand with a smile on his face, "All go, all go, lead the horse quickly!" Bring the rich! ”
The Buddha Nu hurriedly chased out, but he couldn't summon the wind spirit and his party, so he had to stomp his feet and sigh lamentingly: "There is no time to stop, the New Year is under the nose, and I go out to make a fuss......"
Ah Qi came over with a few skins and pushed them into his arms, "What do you care about her, she is not a child, she has to be as timid as you?" ”
The Buddha wanted to talk back, but he realized that he couldn't say anything about her, so he went to the warehouse to store the leather goods in a daze.
Half an hour later, out of the city road, the group spread their horses and ran to the woods outside the city. In winter, the trees are bare, their branches pointing to the sky in various strange postures, and the forest is obscured by leafless shrubs, making prey visible.
When approaching the forest, the wind spirit took the lead and took the horse, turned around and lowered his voice and said, "The old rule, those who are pregnant with cubs are not allowed to fight." The subordinates responded in twos and threes, dismounted and cautiously touched into the forest, and even the rich man who was holding in the hands of the wind spirit also lowered the breathing sound of "Hachi Hachi" very spiritually.
The hemp-gray hare is the most common, and when it enters the forest, one of them jumps in front of it, and the wind spirit picks up an arrow and quickly aims at the hare, and it is not necessary to pull the string full, but to get it with one arrow.
As soon as the wind spirit let go of the chain in his hand, Dafu happily jumped towards the fallen hare, and without hesitation, he took it in one bite and ran back to offer the treasure to the wind spirit to ask for a reward.
The wind spirit threw the hare to the nearby tribe, and casually took a small piece of dried yak meat from the bag by the saddle and threw it to Dafu to satisfy his hunger.
After striking a few hares, everyone felt a little bored, so they got on their horses and went into the woods, and got another yellow muntjac along the way.
A tribal god chattered with the wind spirit: "It would be good if you could fight the wolf, have you ever heard that the wolf skin mattress is harmless?" It's a pity that most wolves live in packs, and few are alone. ”
As he spoke, Feng Ling suddenly interrupted him, "Silence! ”
Thinking that she had found some prey, the tribesmen closed their mouths in unison, and there was silence in the woods. After a few breaths, the horse's bell rang along with the sound of the horse's hooves, and there were forty or fifty horsemen.
"Auntie......" The part that spoke just now panicked, "Auntie, who is that?" Don't be a Turk......"
"What nonsense!" Feng Ling glared at him, "Look at you, the Turks don't hang the horse bell on the horse's horse, only we Tang people like to hang the bell on the horse's neck." ”
As soon as the words fell, a chirping hammer whistled in, but it was not aimed at people, and went straight into the trunk of a tree. The tribesmen couldn't help but put down their bows and arrows, and drew their long knives from their saddles.
"Who is sneaking around in the woods?" The other party's running horse in the head scolded loudly.
"Hear that? It's not the Turks, all put down the guys, and don't get into trouble again. The Wind Spirit commanded in a low voice, and the men gradually lowered the long knife back into its scabbard.
As he spoke, the people who came had already arrived in front of them, with three horses in the head, and a group of people behind them, all dressed in leather armor and light clothes, and the one-colored black yarn wiped their foreheads under the heads. The wind spirits and the tribes all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and they were originally soldiers of the Shazhou Mansion.
"General Yulang, we are merchants in Dunhuang City, and we have nothing to do to hunt some wild things in this forest." The wind spirit turned over and dismounted, and made a respectful gesture.
The soldiers on the horse looked at her sideways, but they recognized her: "Gu Niangzi? How do you hunt in these days? ”
Feng Ling smiled and said, "It's exciting." ”
"That's the end of the fun." A deep voice came from behind the three leading soldiers, the horse bell rang, and it was Fu Yanyan who walked out.
Feng Ling's scalp was numb, and he bowed his head and saluted, not daring to raise his eyes to look at him.
"Then you will go back to the city to hand over the shift, pay attention to the secret places where you can hide, be careful, and don't leave the city for more than ten miles." The wind spirit lowered her head, silently listening to the sound of the delay swirling over her head.
After a round of instructions, the voice seemed to come to her, "Get on the horse, I'll send you back to the city." ”
The wind spirit obediently got on the horse, lowered his head and urged the horse to take a few steps, and when the tribes saw this, they also got on their horses, but they did not dare to follow too closely, and only followed them unhurriedly.
"Why, the leather goods sent by Ding Si'er are not enough? Do you have to go out of town to hunt the day before Chinese New Year's Eve? Flick glanced at the bow and arrow behind her back, and the still dripping net bag hanging from her saddle.
Feng Ling smiled at him delightfully, "Feng Ling got a gift from the captain, and he wanted to return some gifts, and at the end of the month, he couldn't buy anything, so he ......."
Fu Yanyan didn't look at her, but silently hooked the corners of his lips, and after a while, he said lightly: "I remember, in addition to hunting, you seem to have good cooking skills, and the last time you did a very good job." ”
Feng Ling was slightly surprised, opened his mouth, and said with a smile: "Du Wei's thoughts, Feng Ling can save it." ”
