Chapter 11 The Man Who Sets the Horse

In the past few days, I didn't see the tiger come to collect the protection money, and two days later, the family began to live a normal life again. After that winter, the wolf began to go out hunting with his mother. The two brothers guarded their young bodies that couldn't grow up no matter how they ate, and they continued to be helpless. I'm only two years old, when does this have to be a head?

Several degrees of cold and summer, six years have passed in a blink of an eye, it is already 0008 AD, Shi Zhan and Han Bing, two children who are only eight years old, put aside the little bean bag in the second grade who was to be picked up by their parents to go to elementary school in their previous life, and in this life they have looked like normal thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys in their previous life. The height reached nearly 1.6 meters, and the weight of the division was about 50 kilograms. Like in his previous life, Han Bing was still a little thinner, weighing forty-five kilograms. Perennial field exercise, the two of them have raised a body of tendon meat, eight-pack abs with two thick pectoralis major muscles, a bronzed skin in the sun, and the long hair flowing behind them, if those girls in later generations see it, they will have to be fascinated by a large piece! If someone shoots Jin Yong's novel at this time, a proper male protagonist!

Han Bing and Shi Zhan started at the age of three, in addition to physical training, the two also had to practice, from Tai Chi pushing hands to Bagua knife battles, and finally hand-to-hand fighting. This training continued until the two of them were six years old, and then the difficulty increased again, and each of them became the wolves. First of all, the little wolf born by the old mother or four, five or six hairs, and after two months of waiting for the little wolf, he tied two pieces of rabbit meat to the two of them to tease the little wolf to pounce on them, and they either dodged or fought back. At first, running alone, followed by a group of wolf cubs, you can easily dodge the attack of the wolf cubs, after all, the wolves are still too young at that time. As the wolf cub grew up rapidly, this evasion became more and more difficult, and after the wolf cub was six months old, basically as soon as the wolves were dispatched, the two of them did not run. The little wolf is neither light nor heavy, although they are wearing animal skins, the two of them are still scratched by wolf claws and scarred all over their bodies, and they will be bitten if they are snatched hard. Fortunately, it was not serious, so I went back to the cave and applied herbs, and soon it was fine.

This kind of training has been carried out for three years, and under the oppression of the wolves, the two of them have become more and more athletic, running like flying in the mountains and forests, flexible like apes, dodging the attacks of the little wolves as they like, and being proper parkour masters. At this time, the two began a new training and fought against the adult wolf. These adult wolves have been with the two of them for more than three or four years, and they have a good heart, led by the four brothers such as Da Mao and Ermao, and they bow down to the two brothers, love and care for them, and they will not use all their strength when they practice. The two of them went head-to-head first, from dodging to hugging and then fighting, because the body gradually grew, speed, endurance, and explosiveness were improved, and their sensitivity was also greatly improved in the past few years. What's more, watching these wolves hunt since childhood, they are so familiar with each other's moves that they can't be familiar anymore, so they quickly failed to defeat these two people alone, so they changed to one to two, and then one to three. Now the training is a group of two people, often wearing leather clothes, leggings, and leather gloves wrapped in grass balls, standing back to back, dealing with the wolves coming up from all around.

The wolves are often beaten up and crooked, but they do not give up, although the big hair and the two are not young, the seven-year-old wolf is already equivalent to the human forty years old. But he has been on the battlefield for a long time, has rich experience, has a calm command, and shoots ruthlessly. Whenever the brothers broke out of the encirclement, they would organize a pack of wolves to round up again, and then adopt different strategies, either flying together, breaking through in the center, or attacking separately. Da Mao Ermao and his subordinates will naturally not be ruthless to the brothers, as long as they knock down and pounce, they will win. The two of them will not use their fists and feet with all their strength, which is also a kind of training, that is, the control of their own strength. In this way, both man and wolf are constantly improving and growing in the fight.

Training is for actual combat, and in this mountain forest, it is common to see these two peerless duojiao, leading a team of thirty-six adult giant wolves, galloping through meadows, fields, dense forests, and mountain tops. They have become the kings of this place, and all life must be bent down before them and taken from them. These wolf warriors are all brothers and sisters, or nieces and nephews. Starting from those seven hairs, four hairs, five hairs and six hairs will add more than a dozen little hairs to this group every year, and my mother has not been idle, and has added more than ten over the years. The two of them only chose the strongest to stay by their side, strengthen their training, and direct the hunt. The other wolf cubs will be banished to the mountains and forests when they become adults, and they will find their own way to survive, which is the inevitable result of natural selection.

These thirty-six wolves were named the Wolf Warrior Knights by the brothers, divided into two battalions, each battalion of eighteen horses, the division was led by the "battle word battalion", the big hair was the "war word battalion" to carry the handle, and there were three hairs below, leading the brothers to follow the division to gallop on the battlefield, mainly hunting; Han Bing led the "Bingzi Battalion", with Ermao as the handle, and Qimao below, leading a group of brothers mainly to protect their homes and collect materials. The cave also gave its name: "Heavenly Wolf Palace", which means: two people and one wolf. Han Bing also wanted to wave his hand like the Zixia Fairy, and a row of seal inscriptions appeared on the stone wall above the cave entrance, but unfortunately he waved it a few times, except for his arm was a little sore, there was no use for fart.

The division went out to hunt, Han Bing was good at planning and designing, and in recent years, as his body has grown, he has remade mattresses and straw curtain quilts; dig a cistern by the brook at the door, where you can bathe and raise fish; Two slingshots were made with deer tendons and tree branches, and after long-term practice, they were basically able to point and hit wherever they wanted, and there were no birds around now; He also gathered a long straight purple shirt with a thick bowl, carefully split it in half longitudinally with a stone knife, and after roasting it slightly bent, he attached sheep's horns to both ends to make two rough bows. The bowstring uses deer back tendons, and I want to use cow tendons, but unfortunately I haven't seen cows in these years. Tied to a sun-dried reed pole with a sharp stone or animal tooth, and a feather or sun-dried reed leaf is clamped between the tail as an arrow feather.

With this bow and arrow, Shi Zhan and Han Bing shot and killed many roe deer, roe deer, sheep and deer, and captured a few wounded ones alive and brought them back to the cave; He also cooperated with wolves to kill wild boars. Because of the thick skin of the bear, especially the bear skin in winter, the two of them led the wolves to find the hibernating bear in winter in order to make two bear skin coats. Smear the arrowhead used with the juice collected from the root of the poison hemlock, the poison hemlock root is more toxic, and a blind bear of three or four hundred catties can still be competent, as long as the wolves and the two brothers are agile enough to wrestle with the bear for a certain period of time, it is basically easy to win. Shi Zhan has always been arrogant in hunting, even if he fights a bear, he has to shoot an arrow into the bear's eye to show his ability. So the two of them had two bearskin coats, and it was really warm to sleep under the cover after dinner, not only sweating, but also having nosebleeds! Three fires in the child's buttocks, the ancients were honest and did not deceive me! (It should be that the "descendants" are honest and not deceive)

In order to strengthen the prevention of those fierce beasts, Han Bing made a suggestion, using thorny shrubs such as eleutherococcus, black locust, tiger flirt (these are all good medicinal materials) and the long thorns of the mountain saponaria tree, piled up into a wall half a meter high and ten meters wide, and encircled a piece of land of thirty square meters outside the hole. Now that there are few people, Han Bing has also thought about building an earthen wall, and he will give up for the time being after calculating the amount of work, which is not a job that two people can complete. Build a thorn formation first, this thing can last for several years after it is dried, and these shrubs can be collected again every year and re-stocked. Luckily, these plant seeds took root and spread, and even renewal was spared. The entrance leads to the outside of the road with an S-bend, and when everyone returns in the evening, the road is covered with a few rectangular curtains made of willow branches, and the sides of the curtain are covered with long, hard thorns plucked from the black locusts.

With this yard, you can enclose a sheepfold and a deer pen inside, and also move pheasants and hares outside, so that you can bask in the sun and breathe some fresh air, which is good for your physical and mental health. The newly built deer pen was named "Plum Blossom Garden" because all the arrestees were sika deer; The sheepfold is named "Qingyang Palace", this is a very famous name of the Taoist temple in western Sichuan, the origin of the name has not been clear, now there is definitely no shadow, who comes first and who uses it first, and may trace back to the source in the future and find here.

The number of owners in the "Phoenix Community" has grown to 10, and the egg production has also increased. It's just that the survival rate of hatched chicks is not very high, and there is no sunlight in the cave, and these pheasants are a little malnourished. After the introduction of five households, the "Guanghan Community" was soon overcrowded after free love. This thing is too capable of giving birth, one litter in a month or two, and six or seven in a litter. In order to maintain the ecological balance, the brothers regularly pick out a group of rabbits who are not active in work, peel the skin and eat meat, and add some clothing materials by the way. The "Green Sheep Palace" now has three ewes, a ram, and three lambs. There are only two deer in the "Plum Blossom Garden", both of them are doe, and this thing runs too fast, and it is not easy to catch them alive. According to Han Bing's idea, he should use the Huairou policy and seduce with food. Shi Zhan doesn't have that patience, he likes to gallop on the battlefield the most, and he is happy to be revenge, so this is the current result. It is very inhumane to let the two doe stay alive and widowed here, and every time he sees the complaining eyes of the two deer, Han Bing feels embarrassed.

After becoming a local hegemon, the division wars led the wolves farther and farther, because there were bears in the east, and tigers and other fierce beasts were powerful, so it was better not to provoke them; To the south is the Wild Wolf River - this is the name they gave, and in the previous life it was the Songhua River, the head of the upper reaches of the Songhua River. So basically every time we open up to the west and north. At first, he could come back every day to rest, but later he saw that nothing dared to mess with him, so he became more and more bold, often not returning for several days in a row, but every time he came back, he could bring back a lot of gains. All kinds of birds, animals, mountain delicacies, and sometimes some colorful ores will be brought back. The ore is only used as storage, and it is still not enough to really refine copper and iron, and it would be good if the wolf could mine it. They have built two pottery kilns, fired a lot of pottery, and now they no longer have to worry about the mud pot clay bowl invaded by water, and they also used the clay pot to make a lot of fruit wine, and they really ate stewed food, it seems that it is not far from the Manchu and Han banquets.

The sorghum harvested in those years is now planted in a large area, and the sorghum rice harvested every autumn is stored in pottery rice jars, and more than 10 jars have been saved. The bacon also grows with the height of the two of them, and it can be hung above the inner hole, and the big wolf and the little wolf have to practice flea-like elasticity before they want to make trouble. Eggs can be eaten every day, and the rest is stored in clay pots, and so far no salt mines have been found, so it is impossible to pickle salted eggs. I haven't heard of any salt mines in the Northeast, and even if there are, they are still small pieces, and they are not enough to be mined a few times. This is a problem, people can't lack salt, and over the years, the brothers, like those wolves, have relied on the flesh and blood of their prey to get salt. There is also the walnut tree root roasting that I heard in the previous life can produce salt, black, but edible. There are no tools at hand, there are a lot of walnut woods not far away, the two of them don't have Lu Zhishen's brute strength, and they can't move the tree even if they dig out the roots, so they still have to find copper and iron ore first and refine metal tools to solve the problem. Or if you go east, you will cross the Yalu River and you will reach the Yellow Sea, where you will have no problem with how much salt you want.

The wolves of the division went far this time, almost through the woods to the west. After climbing several hills, this day I came to the foot of a mountain, and the sun had already set behind the mountain, so I decided to camp on a flat ground halfway up the mountain. He put down his bow and arrows and the spear he was holding, and lay down on the meadow, and the wolf released two guards, and the rest gathered around him. After walking for more than ten days, he hunted roe deer and deer, foxes and roe deer in the forest. The wolves finally learned deterrence and some strategies and tactics, the most common being to outflank the flanks and break through in the center. Da Mao Sanmao has been fighting with the division for so many years, and can understand his instructions very well, and can also command the wolves to complete the combat mission well. This hunt surrounded a newly grown male stag, and then forced it to keep running around, and after lying down tired, he was finally captured alive. After that, the two heads were captured in a row, and they were the mother and daughter who were alone. So Shi Zhan tied the necks of the doe and the fawn with ropes, held them in his hands, and kept feeding them with the grass and tender wild vegetable leaves he had collected, and ignored the stag, first hungry, and went to the wild. Within two days, Shi Zhan was able to sit on the back of the hind and walk, which greatly accelerated the speed of the team's march, because the lives of himself and his children were in the hands of people, and the hind was very docile, not only camels, but also some prey and mountain goods. The stag was covered with the fur of the leftover prey, and could only eat one meal a day of grass that was not abundant, and after these few days of torture, it had resigned itself to fate.

The place where I was stationed this night was about six or seven hundred miles away from the Heavenly Wolf Palace, and I was ready to go home tomorrow to see if there was nothing new to discover. In the middle of the night, Shi Zhan and the wolves were awakened by a rumbling sound, which came from a short distance behind the mountain. Climbing to the top of the mountain, by the moonlight, Shi Zhan excitedly saw a spectacular scene, that is, a group of grassland horses besieged by nearby wolves, and were running in terror on the large grassland behind the mountain. "God open your eyes! Lao Tzu has a horse to ride! ”

Immediately called Big Fur and told him that his target was the pony in the herd, and that he would try to get the pony out of our side and capture it alive. After hunting the stag, Da Mao, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, is already a qualified wolf pack leader, and immediately howls to communicate with the wolves on the opposite side, make a stand, have no quarrel with the world, and will not violate the opponent's territory. The other party also knew that it was impossible for such a large herd of horses to be wiped out, and it was normal for friends to help get a piece of the pie, so there was no trouble. Then Da Mao began to assign tasks, except for two horses left by the side of the division battle, the other sixteen horses all spread out and burst into the herd of horses in a fan shape.

Da Mao took a few big wolves to pretend to be assaulting adult horses, separating the big horses from the ponies, and then the remaining wolves took Sanmao with them, blocking the pony's running route, forcing the pony to turn around in panic and run towards the division battle. Shi Zhan also prepared a long rope, one end was tightly tied to the big tree next to him, the rope went around a small tree with a thick arm, Shi Zhan hid behind the tree, holding the big looper around the other end of the rope in his hand, looking at the pony, and when the pony ran closer, he suddenly flashed his figure, shook the rope sleeve, and threw the rope sleeve on the head of the running pony.

The panicked pony only knew a way to run to the dark, and when he ran wildly with his neck straight, he suddenly felt something on his neck, and quickly shook his head and shook it, and his speed decreased slightly, and suddenly the rope was tightened, and the small tree that was bypassed was gradually bent, and the rope was gradually tightened on the horse's neck, and finally the pony raised his front hooves and neighed in horror, and then he turned around with the rope noose around his neck, and soon lost his strength and had no courage to continue struggling. Shi Zhan slowly leaned forward and reached out to caress the horse's back. Mongolian horses are relatively short, but they have amazing endurance, they are frightened ponies, and if they are adults, they will have to struggle for a while even if they are leashed. Shi Zhan held the fresh grass in his left hand to the pony's mouth, and his right hand kept stroking the horse's back and neck near the horse's face, and soon the pony quieted down, and there were tears in his big clear eyes, but he had already begun to chew the grass that Shi Zhan fed it. Seeing this scene, Shi Zhan knew that the pony was caught, so he took out a shorter rope, wrapped it around the horse's neck, tied it to a tree, took off the long rope of the horse before, and prepared to fight for a few more horses next time, after all, the distance is too far, and it is not easy to come once.
