"This is very simple, isn't it okay to transport some coal to the Xianbei people?" Chen Cheng said: "They can't even have a place to burn the fire, right?" ”

He casually added a piece of firewood to the stove, looked at the rising green smoke, and said thoughtfully: "I also want to remind the people that if they smell a peculiar smell, they must quickly open the door for a while, so as not to be poisoned by carbon monoxide." ”

"What poisoning?"

"Carbon monoxide, that's ............. Well, even when you burn coal, sometimes there will be toxic smoke, so if you feel that something is wrong, you can quickly open the door to breathe. ”

".......", Tian Yu couldn't laugh or cry, "The fire is for heating, if you open the door for ventilation, then it is better not to burn the fire." ”

"That's true, but it's a question of cold or poison. As long as you are careful every day, you shouldn't have too many problems. Chen Cheng said: "It's a big deal, let's add some clay to the coal, clean it, and then sell it to them at a high price." ”

“？”

Chen Cheng wiped the cold sweat on his head, snorted, and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, by the way, you said that the county lieutenant was a little unconvinced about this matter?" ”

He just complained casually, and suddenly felt a deep chill and hurriedly changed the topic.

"Oh, yes," Tian Yu said, "Although it is said that the saint is deeply concerned about the world and is more precious than life, what he said is also reasonable. ”

Tian Yu said distressedly: "What do you say should I do about this? We have a lot of coal reserves, and it doesn't matter if we give them a little bit, but a large part of the food is borrowed, and we don't have enough to eat, so we have to pay it back later. ”

Chen Cheng chuckled and said, "Aren't there many young people in Xianbei? Let them go hunting in the mountains with me, and I'm going to take them to the mountains for training anyway. ”

As he spoke, he touched the head of the crouching animal beside him. Tian Yu looked at the tiger that was strong again, hesitated for a while, and said: "It's too dangerous to enter the mountains in winter, and you can't catch any prey, so don't go." ”

"They eat too much," Chen Cheng rubbed the tiger's head and said, "Raising this kind of beast is to let them eat enough." ”

Tian Yu said thoughtfully: "What if their appetite grows bigger and bigger? ”

Chen Cheng glanced at him and said, "You're talking about another kind of beast, well, it's like an eagle dog, you can't let them starve, if they are hungry, they will bite their masters in turn." But you can't let them eat too much, if they eat too much, they will get out of control. It's better to let them eat six or seven percent full. ”

Tian Yu thought for a while and said, "Then do as you say!" ”

"You mean to let those Xianbei people go hunting with me?"

"Of course, did we say something else?"

Kebineng sent the children and old people of the clan into the city, and then took ten people to hunt with Chen Cheng. He brought out the elite of the tribe, all of them were covered in thick fur, and they were strong even in the ice and snow. In terms of cold tolerance alone, it is indeed stronger than the Han people who pass through.

But in terms of weapons and organization, Wei Ran and them are much stronger.

When he saw the three-and-a-half-headed tigers following behind Chen Cheng, Kebineng's eyes were straight, and he said in his heart: "Could it be that this person is really General Shenweitian?" ”

But after taking a closer look, although Chen Cheng was a little taller than himself, if he said that he could rush into the thousands of troops and horses to cut the generals and hold the flag, then he didn't believe it.

Seeing the three energetic tigers, not only Kirby Neng, but all the Xianbei people were a little scared. Even if you haven't fully grown up, but with a body the size of a sheep like a tiger, if you go crazy, how many people will be killed?

In fact, Wei Ran and the others were also beating drums in their hearts, but in order to suppress those Xianbei people in terms of momentum, they pretended not to care one by one. Chen Cheng scratched the tiger's chin, and the tiger squinted its eyes and made a "purring" sound, looking very happy.

The other two tigers moved slowly in the snow, letting out a low growl at the surrounding crowd.

After teasing the big cat for a while, Chen Cheng stood up, walked to Gollum, who was a little far away, turned over on his horse, and said, "Drive!" ”

After several days of continuous snowfall, the snow on the ground was enough to submerge people's calves. Gollum is a good horse, but he can't run at the highest speed in the snow, and the same goes for other horses. Only when the weather gets colder and the ground freezes solid, can the horses gallop again. But by that time, few people were willing to go out on horseback riding.

Even if it is a Hu people who like to take advantage of the high autumn horse fat to go south to plunder, it is first and foremost a human being, not a "Diyi beast", then it is really a beast. They also like warm places, as long as they are not full of mosquitoes and miasma like in Jiaozhou.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, who would want to stay on the grassland and be Diyi.

Twenty-one people, twenty-one horses, plus three tigers, this is the composition of this small army. Because the nearby mountains had already been cleared, they had traveled a long way this time on the hunt, and they had walked for a day on the road alone. On the first day, when he was on the road, he saw two silly roe deer jumping side by side on the snow, and Chen Cheng was having fun at that time.

As soon as he whistled, the three tigers rushed out of the ranks. In the snowflakes flying, the tiger kills violently. The two roe deer were frightened and jumped faster and faster. But I don't know if it was because they jumped too fast or what, they plunged their heads into the snow one after another, leaving only their two hind legs exposed.

As you can imagine, both roe deer have become tigers. Seeing the scene of the tigers dividing and eating their prey, as well as the blood stains on the corners of their mouths, the rest of the team felt a little numb when you look at me and I look at you.

If they took a stand and fought each other, they wouldn't be so afraid. It's just three and a half big tigers, who is afraid of whom? Whether it is a Xianbei person or a Han person, there are heroes who can fight and kill fierce beasts. But to walk with the tigers and sleep together at night, it definitely takes a big heart.

Seeing the other people carefully keeping their distance from the tiger, Chen Cheng was thoughtful, as the saying goes, "A companion is like a tiger", he didn't know, but now he knows what a tiger is.

On the way, some pheasants, hares, roe deer and other animals were caught, and the group arrived smoothly to the place where they were going to spend the night. It was a hollow in a valley, surrounded by cliffs that the cold wind could not blow. When it's all covered in silver outside, there's still some grass here.

The horses lifted the snowflakes and went to nibble on the grass seeds and roots on their own, while Chen Cheng and the others used the tools they carried with them to cut down a few dead trees, ordered them, and then began to prepare for today's dinner. While the food was being prepared, some people were setting up their tents. Even if the temperature here is a little higher than outside, if you freeze overnight in the cold wind, you will probably wake up the next morning, and it will probably become hard.

While people are busy, a few tigers are wandering around the snow. Their bodies are covered with a thick layer of fur, and the low temperatures that are deadly enough for people are nothing to them. The tigers, who had never played in the snow before, were excited, running and jumping in the snow. After dinner was ready and Chen Cheng whistled, they didn't know where to catch a fox and came back.

The fox that was captured was not dead, but was held in the mouth by the largest tiger, and his eyes might move occasionally. Chen Cheng snatched the fox from the tiger's mouth and asked, "Will you repay the favor?" ”

After waiting for a while and not waiting for an answer, Chen Cheng decisively twisted the fox's neck, and there was one more kind of food for the night. Although the fox meat is very sassy and very chai, Kirby can and these Xianbei people don't care at all. They have an astonishing appetite, and when they eat, they are like starving ghosts reincarnated, and they are like they don't have to eat anymore after eating this meal, even if their bellies are rounded, they are still desperately stuffing food into their mouths.

On the other hand, Wei Ran and them, although they also eat a lot, they are still not as good as the Xianbei people in their peers. And, as they spend more time in the snow, the gap between the two sides becomes more and more apparent. These people under Chen Cheng may be good at fighting, and they are also very good at farming, but their ability to survive in the wild, especially in this kind of ice and snow, is far inferior to that of Xianbei people.

This is still the effect of their buffs, and if you compare them fairly, their performance will be even worse. Seeing the skills of these Hu people, Chen Cheng also completely gave up the idea of making trouble, what took advantage of the heavy snow to sneak attack the rebels, it must be a good idea that will become rancid.

At night, men and horses huddle together in tents, leaning against each other to keep warm. Because Gollum was reluctant to stay with the tigers, Chen Cheng also set up an additional tent. He had Gollum huddle in Wei Ran's tent while he slept with the tigers.

The place where they spent the night was in a valley, the entrance was very narrow, and the wind became very fast here, and there was a terrible howl from time to time. The flames outside are extinguished, and the world is plunged into darkness. It was in this environment that Chen Cheng held a tiger and slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, Chen Cheng was woken up by a tiger. The tent was filled with a stinking smell, and at first it would make people feel sick and vomit, but after staying for a long time, they became accustomed to it and turned a blind eye. If he was an ordinary person, he might have been in bed because it was warmer in the tent, but he wasn't, so when he woke up, he got scared and lifted the tent and walked out.

The temperature outside was six or seven degrees cooler than inside the tent, and when I came out, the cold wind blew on my face, which made people feel refreshed. The tent behind him was squeezed open, the furry head poked out, followed by the body, and the three tigers jumped to the clearing, first circled around Chen Cheng a few times, and then roared violently.

"Roar!"

is different from the previous immaturity, this time the roar is already full of cold murderous aura. The roar of the tiger reverberated back and forth in the valley, waking everyone up. Some of the horses were even frightened, and they jumped up from the ground with a neigh, and then ran out with their heads bored.

Xianbei and Wei Ran were busy for a while before calming down their mounts. Rao is so, or a few tents are damaged. Kebi looked at the three fierce beasts surrounding Chen Cheng and refreshed his cognition again: Perhaps, this person really has the courage of ten thousand people, otherwise, how could he subdue this terrible animal?
