When Sima Shu and Yang Xianrong returned to the camp slowly, most of the people who participated in the hunt had already returned, and they gathered in one place in twos and threes to talk and laugh.

Yang Xianrong looked around, but did not find Yang Ting and Liu Yao, thinking that the two had not come back, so he found a haystack and sat down, picked up a branch, and wrote and drew on the ground.

"Let's eat some first." Yang Xianrong looked up when he heard the sound, and saw Sima Shu holding a piece of dry food in his hand, stuffing it into her hand with a smile on his face, and heard him say again: "Just look at you, you know that you are hungry." ”

Yang Xianrong pouted: "There is a lot of meat to eat today, so I don't want to eat this dry cake." ”

Sima Shu laughed even happier when he heard this, so he put away the cake and sat next to Yang Xianrong: "Your brother and that Liu Yao are too different, he only cares about his own happiness, and completely forgets about you." ”

When Yang Xianrong heard this, his small mouth pouted higher, and he threw away the branches in his hand in anger, got up and ran to the gate of the camp, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and then looked at it, and a cloud of dust was raised not far away.

"Coming back?" Sima Shu, who was following behind Yang Xianrong, said lightly.

Yang Xianrong looked hard towards the place where the dust was raised, and the two jujube red horses in the white ash galloped closer, and the two horses riding on the horses, one black and one white, were not Liu Yao and Yang Ting? The two rode horses galloping from a distance, entered the camp, only said hello to Yang Xianrong and Sima Shu, and continued to run towards the middle tent, where Liu Yuan was already waiting anxiously and sent several groups of people to urge Liu Yao.

Seeing Liu Yao enter the account, Liu Yuan deliberately straightened his face and reprimanded: "You didn't return to the account at the agreed time, and let many elders wait for you, there are no rules." ”

"My son knows what he is wrong." Liu Yao knelt on one knee, raised his hand and hugged his fist and said: "It's just that I was unfortunately entangled by a black bear, but fortunately Brother Yang came to the rescue and was able to get out of danger." ”

"Bear?" Liu Yuan's expression changed instantly, his brows were full of worry, and he hurriedly helped Liu Yao up: "Is my son injured?" ”

Liu Yao shook his head, pushed the sheep to Liu Yuan's eyes and brought it slightly, and then said: "At the critical moment, Brother Yang just arrived, and an arrow shot through one of the bear's eyes, and the black bear was in pain, so I seized the opportunity to get out." ”

Liu Yuan was relieved to hear that Liu Yao was not injured, and was just about to say a few words of comfort, but another person came in outside, it was Liu Cong. Liu Cong walked a few steps quickly to Liu Yao, patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and said happily: "I heard that you hunted back a black bear?" Good boy, this hunt should be your first place. ”

When Liu Yuan heard this, he frowned again and looked at Liu Yao. Liu Yao hurriedly explained: "Actually, Brother Yang hunted it, I just got out at that time, and I just wanted to run for my life, but Brother Yang didn't want to let go of the bear, so he made up for the black bear with an arrow, and finally stabbed the bear to death with a sword." The bear was injured and went crazy, and Brother Yang was injured because of it. Liu Yao said, pointing to Yang Ting's injured right arm, and then to the clothes on his chest that had been torn by the bear.

Only then did Liu Yuan turn his gaze to Yang Ting, and swept Yang Ting up and down like a scrutiny, seeing that he was not big, hanging his head slightly, and he didn't seem to be excited that he had hunted a bear. Liu Yuan smiled: "I heard the dog mention you, today you saved the dog's life, it is a favor to my Liu family, I heard that you are born with divine power and excellent martial arts, if you don't dislike it, it's good to come to our army to exercise?" ”

When Yang Ting heard this, he was naturally overjoyed, he quickly knelt on the ground, raised his hands in fists above his head, and said with great sincerity: "I am willing to serve the Hou Ye." ”

Liu Yuan nodded and let Liu Yao go out with the sheep.

"Father, is this a fancy for this sheep?" After Liu Cong waited for the two of them to exit the big tent, he asked Liu Yuan curiously: "This person doesn't look special. ”

"What's not special?" Liu Yuan looked at Liu Cong with a smile: "I'm particularly anxious." ”

"Huh?" Liu Cong was puzzled.

"This sheep is not yet twenty years old, martial arts, except for brute strength, there is nothing outstanding about it, but he hunted a bear so bravely, what do you think you rely on?" Liu Yuan looked at Liu Cong meaningfully: "Is he brave?" That's not bravery, that's recklessness. If it weren't Yao'er but someone else who was in danger today, would this sheep still come forward? Since he rescued Yao'er, why didn't he run but chose to fight for his life to kill the bear, you must know that even if the bear is injured, it is not easy to kill, he just has a big life this time. ”

Liu Cong frowned, understanding what Liu Yuan meant. Yang Ting will save Liu Yao, but because Liu Yao is Liu Yuan's son, as for why he killed the bear, he also wanted to show his face in front of Liu Yuan. Yang is quite young, and it is not difficult to understand that he wants to find a chance to come out, Liu Cong thinks so, and Liu Yuan also thinks so, so he gave him a chance. It's just that Liu Cong also knows very well that Liu Yuan doesn't like people who are flies and dogs, and recruiting him into the army is just to repay him for saving his son.

Yang Xianrong was a little surprised after seeing Yang Ting's injury, she already knew that this brother actually hunted a bear back, and she thought that the blood holes on his arms were very terrifying, and she also jumped up and cheered: "Brother is so powerful." ”

Sima Shu also hugged Yang Ting with a look of adoration behind him, and said, "Brother Yang is very skilled." ”

Yang Ting was flattered and immediately replied: "Brother Ma is polite." ”

By the doctor who accompanied the team to bandage the wound, Yang Ting brothers and sisters went to dine with Liu Yao and Sima Shu, and many of the prey hunted back today were roasted or cooked by the cooks to satisfy everyone's appetite, and the already lively crowd erupted into more enthusiastic cheers at the moment when Yang Ting and Liu Yao appeared. Liu Yuan was originally a Huns, and after subduing the five departments, the army was dominated by Huns, and the wolf nature in the blood of these people made them worship the strong martial arts from the bottom of their hearts, so they also applauded from the bottom of their hearts for Yang Ting and Liu Yao, who won the first place today.

"How's the wound?" Liu Yuan also asked with a smile.

Yang Ting hurriedly leaned over and replied, "It's okay, Master Xie cares." ”

After a few people sat down, Yang Ting feasted, Yang Xianrong was already hungry, and at this time, he couldn't care about his image, and buried himself in eating meat, but Sima Shu was not used to being so arrogant, and he still ate beautifully, while Liu Yao was busy responding to the gazes cast from all directions.

"Hey," Sima Shu stabbed Liu Yao, nodded a few people with his eyes, and asked, "These people don't look at you well." ”

Liu Yao looked around for a moment and said casually: "That's my eldest brother and a few of his people." With that, he lowered his head and began to eat.

Sima Shu nodded thoughtfully, stopped talking, and continued to eat slowly.

After eating, everyone dispersed. There are still a few days of activities in the future, everyone is tired for a day, and they rested early, Yang Xianrong is not tired, and still ran outside when the sky was dark, and came to the place where Liu Yao practiced swords last night, and he was really there, still holding the long sword that did not match his body shape, and danced vigorously.

Yang Xianrong sat down on the side, and after a while, another person came over beside him, it was Sima Shu.

"Brother Ma Yu, don't you sleep either?" Yang Xianrong tilted his head and asked.

"Can't sleep." Sima Shu lay down on the ground: "That couch is too uncomfortable." ”

"The couch is uncomfortable, but the floor is comfortable?" Liu Yao, who had collected the sword, saw Sima Shu who had fallen to the ground and laughed. Then he also came over and sat down on the other side of the sheep.

"Brother Yao, haven't you been tired after a day of hunting?" Yang Xianrong took out a handkerchief and wiped Liu Yao's sweat, and asked, "My brother has already fallen asleep, and he can't wake up even if there is thunder." ”

"I'm used to practicing every day, and if I don't practice, I always feel uncomfortable." Liu Yao said with a smile.

"Cheap bones." Lying on the side, Sima Shu muttered three words.

Liu Yao didn't argue with Sima Shu, he followed his example and lay on the ground, Yang Xianrong looked left and right, and also lay down. The three of them didn't say anything for a while, Yang Xianrong was a little sleepy, and when she was in a daze, she suddenly heard Sima Shu sigh, she opened her eyes again, and turned her head to look at Sima Shu.

"Look at this starry sky, how beautiful." Sima Shu said.

Yang Xianrong looked at the sky for some reason, the stars on it were indeed beautiful, but this was also a scenery that happened every night, and she didn't understand why Sima Shu suddenly sighed.

"When my grandfather was seriously ill, he said that when people die, they become stars, and they will watch me from heaven and bless me." Sima Shu continued: "My grandfather never deceived me. ”

"Do you still believe that?" Liu Yao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly sat up and said: "I am a few years younger than you, but I also understand that the so-called ancestor blessing is just a nonsense that the world deceives itself. Why should the people of the world suffer from the scourge of war and displacement? ”

Sima Shu suddenly laughed, sat up too, and said to Liu Yao: "You don't believe in the blessing theory, but you know the truth of survival in the cracks, and your brothers are not good people." ”

"Lao Tzu said that the winner is powerful, and the self-winner is strong." Liu Yao's eyes were firm: "Everyone looks at me Liu Yao today to send people under the fence, but he may not be as good as others in the future." ”

Sima Shu pursed his lips, lay down again, and said: "But there is another sentence in front of these words, those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are clear." Sima Shu's eyes were a little red, a man in the world, who doesn't have a grand ambition, even if he is already the pride of the sky, but he also has greater ambitions. It's just that the uneasiness of the past few days has made him a little flustered, when his grandfather was there, he never felt like this, because since he can remember, his grandfather promised him the world, and what taught him was to govern the country, and he never pretended to be himself in his heart, but now, his grandfather has been gone for a year, and he suddenly has a little self-knowledge, that is, the world is not his now, and the world may not be his in the future, he can't do anything, he can only pray for his grandfather's protection. He smiled self-deprecatingly and secretly wiped tears from the corners of his eyes.
