Northern

Snow covers the earth, and it stretches for tens of thousands of miles.

It was a sunny day, the wind had stopped and the snow had stopped, and occasionally a few birdsongs resounded through the silent snow.

"Drive..."

A playful call shattered the peace that the earth should have been. At this time, I saw a young man wearing a navy snow hat and thick leather armor riding forward at all costs.

The boy looked like he was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his body was quite strong, but his height seemed to be insufficient and he was a little short, and he looked a little fat.

The boy sat down on his horse with a strong bow on his left side and a quiver on his right. The quiver is covered with a holster to protect the arrows inside, and looking at the appearance of the holster, there are quite a few arrows in this quiver.

Suddenly, I saw the young man riding the horse turn the horse's head, and there was a burst of chirping and crooked abuse behind him. The language doesn't seem to be the language of the Central Plains, and if you listen to it carefully, it turns out to be Manchu.

"The dogs in the back, hurry up for Lao Tzu, if it affects Young Master Ben's prey, see if I go back and don't whip you."

"Master, please wait for us, how can a two-legged man run a four-legged livestock." Behind the horses came three panting teenagers, all fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Wu Ergou, how dare your dog Aha scold my little yellow for being an animal?" Sitting on a horse on the step Gurut. Wamuda leaned up on his horse and slapped Wu Ergou in the face who was talking back.

"Smack..."Wu Ergou, who hadn't fully reacted, felt a hot pain on his face.

At this moment, I saw Gurut. Wamuda shook his hand and scolded: "Dog Aha, the skin is so rough, it hurts Lao Tzu's hands." ”

Wu Ergou, who heard this, didn't care about the pain on his face, and immediately knelt on the snow and kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Yes, little master." The small ones know that they are wrong, the small ones are the animals, and the small ones are the animals. Please raise your noble hand high, don't hurt your hands for me, a beast with rough skin and dry flesh, it's not worth it. ”

"Hmm... It's good to know what's wrong. You always remember to Lao Tzu that you are Lao Tzu's slave and livestock, and your whole family is my family's Aha. If you dare to be disobedient, believe it or not, I will kill you right now. "Step Gurut. Wamuda looked at the kneeling and begging for mercy, Wu Ergou nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Yes, the slave knows that the slave is easy to be the slave of the master's family, and he is the most loyal dog of the master's family." Wu Ergou didn't dare to have anything unusual, and kowtowed again and again.

The other two teenagers, Li Gui and Wang Caogen, looked at Wu Ergou who kowtowed and begged for mercy, but they stood there at a loss. At this time, I saw the step Gurut. Wamuda looked at the two of them with a look of displeasure, and when they saw this, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to flatter.

Sure enough, Marfa (1) was right, as long as he killed all those who dared to come forward, the rest of the Nikans would be waste, born to be slaves. I'm so afraid of death just after looking at it, it's not as good as my Atta (2). "Looking at the three kneeling on the ground, step Gurut. Wamuda thought with great satisfaction.

"Alright, get up! If you can't keep up after a while, Lao Tzu will have you good-looking. I might as well have brought my Atta with me. "Step Gurut. Wamuda raised his head and said without looking at the three people underground.

"Yes, yes... It's small, it's not, and the small one must keep up with the master. The three of them kowtowed again and again.

"Gone. Drive..."

The three of them saw that they had turned their horse's head forward and walked forward. Wamuda hurriedly got up from the snow. A chill came involuntarily, and I felt my body tremble for a while.

In this cold weather, even the cotton clothes wrapped in several layers still make people feel cold, and I didn't feel anything when I had been running just now, but I felt it after kneeling and touching the snow for a while.

The horses continued to run, and the three behind them were desperately rushing. Fortunately, the horse's speed was not fast, and the three people who followed closely did not fall behind.

The snow gradually passed over the horses' hooves, and in order to prevent damage to the horses, they walked Gurut. Wamuda could only dismount and hike.

"Look, master, there's a pheasant in front of you." Follow in step Gurut. Li Gui, who was behind Wamuda, suddenly pointed to a place and called.

Step Gurut. Wamuda looked at the place Li Gui pointed, and sure enough, it was a pheasant that had come out to feed.

"I've seen it, you're going to scare my pheasant away with a lot of noise. See that I don't smoke you to death. "Step Gurut. Wamuda said disdainfully, and then took the bow and arrow from Wang Caogen.

Open the bow, shoot the arrow, shoot. One set is flowing smoothly, and the whole process is not smooth at all, and the bow and arrows are like walking Gurut. A part of Wamuda's body is average.

After an instant, the pheasant at a distance of 100 meters was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.

"The master's archery is really powerful, as powerful as a god." Seeing the pheasant that fell to the ground, Li Gui immediately said with a smile.

"Alright, let's go and collect the pheasants." Step Gurut. Wamuda smiled and commanded happily.

"Yes, master. The little ones are gone. After Li Gui finished speaking, he hurriedly ran over and picked up the pheasant.

"Master, look, this pheasant is really good, it must taste very good." Li Gui said with a drooling look.

"The taste is good. What, you still want to eat? "Step Gurut. Wamuda asked with a wry smile.

"Don't dare, don't dare. Where can the small one have such a blessing to eat, of course, the pheasant is eaten by the master. If the master is gracious, please give the chicken intestines of this pheasant to the little ones to eat! Li Gui hurriedly replied in an argument.

"I don't want that disgusting thing, so if you want it, I'll give it to you!" Step Gurut. Wamuda was in a good mood and said with a "generous" reward.

"The little one thanked the master for the reward." Li Gui thanked him greedily.

Step Gurut. Wamuda looked at Li Gui's appearance, and suddenly felt very good.

"Who said Lao Tzu is not a good person. Looking at Lao Tzu's reward, this Aha Duo is happy, and Ci Yahua (3) always says that I am too evil. "Step Gurut. Wamuda thought.

"Alright, alright. Take the pheasant and keep walking. ”

"Yes, master."

An hour passed, step Gurut. Wamuda and the others walked around the area, stunned and didn't see any other prey.

After scolding the three of them with an angry face, he rode back first, and asked Li Gui to bring back the pheasants to cook dinner for the cook as soon as he returned.

"Brother Ergou, you say, can I still go to Yunnan to see the osmanthus tree that my grandfather said?" Li Gui, who was carrying a pheasant and went back with Wu Ergou and Wang Caogen, suddenly asked in frustration.

"Li Gui, I understand what you said. Why don't I want to go to Yunnan? My grandfather also told me that when he was a general in the hands of King Pingxi, he was majestic, and he wanted wind and rain. If it weren't for the old King of Pingxi, maybe we would all be now..."Wu Ergou said.

Note (1): Manchu: Grandpa

(2): The name of the dog

(3): Step Gurut. Wamuda liked the name of a woman.
