Volume 2 Sea Country Cloud Sky Chapter 119 Female Protector (1)
The daughter of the Governor, the Protector of the Zoroastrian Church, and the charming Miss Demir, like her awe-inspiring titles, suddenly became erratic.
She and her carriage were completely nowhere to be seen on the ridge of the mountain, and when our horse team rushed across the shallows washed by the flowing water and followed the slightly white horse path to the ridge.
There is only one ancient road, which winds between hills, oases, sparse jungles and terracotta all the way to the west.
The afternoon sun is like fire, and we can't see half a figure on the road, only the sound of the cicadas accompanies us like a shadow, as if it is the voice from our hometown.
But every time we are discouraged and no longer chase, this ghostly figure of the Dharma protector will appear in the pasture or trade road in front of us.
If it is far away, if it is far away, if it is close, it is like playing a joke with us.
"Young master, what the hell is this witch doing!" Shamihan had a fiery temper and couldn't help but explode after a few teases.
"Brother, do you want me to let Qingluan fly over to investigate? It's a hell of a game like this! The younger sister Gulandot was also very disgusted by Demir's actions.
"Qingluan is our killer weapon, and now we can't figure out whether we are friends or enemies, how can such a sharp weapon be shown? Forget it, camp on the spot! Qin Chong, Sha Mihan, let's go hunt some wild things and come back! Pot helmet, you and Ruhr and Langton set up a tent, Duo'er, you bury the pot and boil some boiling water, we will spend the night here tonight! ”
"Young master, it is said that a Roman general led his army to attack the Teutonic fort in the Northlands, and learned from the captured Teutonic sergeant a Pegasus magic that can travel thousands of miles in a day! Later, when the general accompanied Alexander the Great in his expedition to the East, he brought this flying technique to Persia. Later, the general died in battle, and the Pegasus magic was lost to the people. Did this governor's daughter get the true inheritance of this flying technique? ”
The team came to a halt, and the eldest brother Hesrul was busy unloading the horses, chatting with us about this ancient legend that has been passed down in the Canaan area.
"It must be so, young master! Otherwise, how could her four-wheeled carriage outrun our Dawan good horse, which traveled 800 miles a day! ”
Liu Zhen'er took off her outer robe, took off the keel of the tent from the horse, and sweated profusely.
"If that's the case, I'll really have to get to know the governor's daughter for a while! Wouldn't it be beautiful to learn such a magic technique to fight back and forth between Khotan and this Sassanid Persia in one night! Ha ha! Old man! Miss your Yinglan wife! Join forces with me to take down this female protector! Every night in the future, the young master will allow you to go home and go to bed! Ha ha! ”
I held my bow and fired an air shot into the distance, joking with my brothers.
"Young master, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world! Ha ha! Good! The young master said how to take down this Persian enchantress! ”
Sha Mihan laughed proudly, he and Qin Chong were already standing on horseback.
"Young master! Hurry up! If you don't go wild again, you will return to the nest! Qin Chong couldn't wait to shout, this kid likes hunting the most on the way to business.
And the big bird of Qingluan, which had already mingled with us, rushed straight into the sky first, and then swooped down to the green field below the mountain.
We also followed Qingluan and galloped down the hill, but wherever the big bird swooped, there would be big or small prey, and then it was our hunt.
After a short time, and having hunted a fat rabbit and five pheasants, the seven of us had enough live animals for the evening barbecue.
In the summer of commerce, there was an unwritten rule of hunting, which was to take only what was needed for the day.
So an hour later, the three of us didn't have a lot of fun and returned from the horses, and agreed that we couldn't bring Qingluan with us for the next hunt.
This big bird turned our hunt into a round-up of yard fowl with no difficulty or fun at all.
And it stares at small things like cunning rabbits and pheasants, but it turns a blind eye to fat, meaty wild boars, elk, and other beasts.
Therefore, every time I returned to the camp, I would be complained by the head chef Grundot: "Brother, can you change some tricks!" It's always full of earthy rabbit meat and chicken, chicken and rabbit meat! ”
"Miss, this can't be blamed on us! Wherever your Qingluan pointed, we will fight, and the result is these prey! Ha ha! ”
Shamihan shouted with joy that his ideal in life was to have fresh meat naan cakes, and he never cared if it was venison or rabbit meat.
And for me and Gulando, who were at home at Qingfengze Inn, eating all the delicacies and wild things in the mountains and half a month, and there was no repetition for ten days and a half, it was an unbearable distress to always eat the same naan and meat.
"Duo'er, the next time you hunt, you tie up Qingluan, don't let it join us anymore!"
I rolled over and dismounted and threw my prey to Shamihan, laughing and laughing with my little sister.
The old Han herdsman grew up, and he has always done neatly and neatly for work such as disemboweling and skinning his prey.
The tent had been set up, and the two eldest brothers, Langton and Ruhr, had already driven the rest of the horses to the river below the hill to graze.
The sun is about to set, the sparkling Heri River slowly goes west, and the oasis mountains on both sides of the river are misty and misty, forming a beautiful scenery of the long river setting in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"It's so beautiful! Come here, you don't look like our family's Qingfeng Ze Lake! ”
Faced with such a magnificent evening view, I hurriedly called out to Gulanduo, who was busy with the firewood for the meat picker.
"Hey! I'm homesick, I'm missing my grandma! ”
Gulando wiped his hands and ran over happily, and after taking a look, he felt a sense of nostalgia, and tears poured into his eyes.
Now that he is thousands of miles away from home, the township can only be in a dream.
I quickly grabbed my little sister's shoulders and gently stroked her hair to show encouragement, and a strong family affection that I had never felt before came to my heart.
"Brother, don't look at it! Come and help me hang these cured meats on the grill! I'm going to make naan bone broth! ”
Duo'er relieved herself after a moment of sorrow, smiled brightly at me, and turned to go to dinner.
But my heart was tumbling at the moment, and I regretted my decision to go west in the first place, so that my dear little sister and I would also suffer along the way
"Good! Miss Doer's chicken bone soup is a true inheritance from her mother! Blessed tonight! Hahaha! ”
I laughed and said, walking the rivers and lakes, the most taboo is useless crying.
As Do'er instructed, the rabbit and chicken, marinated in spices and rock salt, were hung on the blazing grill.
"Young master! Go down to the river and take a bath! The river is so cold! ”
The sun set, and Liu Zhen'er, Ruhr, and Langton drove their well-fed horses back to the camp, shouting loudly.
The three of them had already cleaned up by the river, and Qin Chong and Sha Mihan also went down the mountain to the river first.
With the girl Gulandot accompanying her, our elder brothers have a lot of taboos in their usual bathing words and deeds.
Shamihan took the initiative to take over the work of grolando's scones and turning meat, urging our brothers and sisters to hurry up and go to the river to wash up in the afterglow of the sunset.
Come back and enjoy the best part of the day and the cool, peaceful summer nights on the Persian plateau.
In the distance, on the riverbank, Gulando's unclothed virgin body is like an angel in the sunset, and my brother is her patron saint.
It was a dark night without moonlight, and the four fields under the mountain were pitch black without seeing the five fingers.
The cool breeze in the mountains swept away the ground temperature left by the scorching sun during the day.
This weather is very similar to our hometown in Khotan, wearing a coat in the morning and a shawl in the afternoon, and eating melons around the fire.
Unfortunately, in the wilderness of a foreign land, there are no melons to gnaw, so they can only sit around the campfire wrapped in sleeping bags, and use aimless laughter to express their inner homesickness.
"Young master! There's a Hokage moving down the hill! It's coming up the mountain! ”
At this time, Liu Zhen'er, who went to Gong in the distance, suddenly shouted loudly.
His shout made the hair stand on end all over my body, and I grabbed the long knife by the pillow and ran towards the crossing.
Others were also holding dicks, following right behind me.
"Brother, it can't be that the guys from the Fire Zoroastrian Sect have done some kind of occult magic, right?" Gulando, who had always feared the darkness, took my arm and asked tremblingly.
In this Sassanid Persian country, there are too many people of three religions and nine streams, and all kinds of occult arts are also varied.
I've never been afraid of real fights, I'm afraid of these incomprehensible fantasy techniques.
"Don't be afraid, the soldiers will cover the water! Brothers, get on the horse! In case they get separated, they will meet at the west gate of Herat in five days! ”
As we spoke, each of the seven of us had a flaming torch in our hands and sat on top of our respective horses.
All of these contingency plans for overnight stays, including torches, lost entanglements, and future rendezvous sites, are pre-determined before camping.
This is also the old rule of my caravan walking the rivers and lakes for decades, Qin Chong, Langton and the five of them have long been familiar with the road, but Gu Landuo and I are obviously in a hurry.
The moving Hokage got closer and closer, and finally stopped by our campfire.
It was the poor governor Demir, her entourage, and the light carriage.
Our original tense and ready to fight was instantly relaxed.
"Dear Lightbringer! Mr. Yi! Can I stay with you for the night? Growing so big and never spent the night in the wild, I was scared to death! ”
After listening to Demir's cries and Gulando's translation, the few of us leaned back and fell in joy.
The Persian guard standing by could only laugh awkwardly, and he attributed all this to his own dereliction of duty.
"As long as Miss Demir doesn't like the tent is shabby, we're welcome! Hahaha! Today, Miss Dharma Protector made us chase so hard! ”
I took a step back and bowed to Miss Demir.
"Didn't Mr. Bright Messenger speak first and do not want to walk with me? That's why I stayed away, for fear of offending my husband! ”
Demir handed the whip to his guard, and walked side by the fire with me, where Brother Langton and Golandoux, were already preparing the evening food for the two visitors.
"Miss Protector deliberately avoided us for fear of offending me? Hehe, what a misunderstanding! ”
I smiled at my sudden realization, and all the knots in my heart related to this Miss Demir were opened.
