Volume 1 A Hundred Battles Yellow Sand Wears Gold Armor Chapter 68 The Little Lynx and the Borrowed Horse
Wang Junlin knew that lynx was mostly active in the north, and when it was cold in winter, such paws moved in the thick snow, which was equivalent to providing the effect of snow boots.
"The size of the lynx is three or four times that of the looking cat, similar to the leopard, and the combat power is comparable to that of the cheetah, looking at the size and walking of this little guy is not very stable, obviously less than three days old, or when it is time to drink milk."
Wang Junlin knew that lynx was very rare in later generations and was a national first-class protected animal, but in this era, there should be many places like this in the northwest.
If you look closely at the remains of the animal that he hit and killed, it is clearly an adult lynx, and it seems to be a female lynx.
Wang Junlin vaguely understood that most of the female lynx was feeding the little lynx last night, and coincidentally he just rushed towards the pair of "mother and son", and the female lynx's nature of protecting the child made it attack him without hesitation, and the result was tragic, Wang Junlin was in the same state as a superman at that time.
After that, it was the four wolves that the female lynx spat out of the bloody smell that almost made him and the little lynx a wolf's breakfast.
That's right, it was early in the morning at this time, the red sun had just risen in the east, and the temperature difference between the western regions in spring was very large, and the temperature at this time was comparable to the winter in the south, but Wang Junlin didn't feel cold at all.
Wang Junlin squatted down, carefully picked up the little lynx and put it in his hand, the feline was cuter than the other when it was small, the same is true of the little lynx, and found that the little guy was not hostile to himself because he hit and killed his mother, Wang Junlin hesitated slightly, and decided to take the little guy with him, otherwise the little lynx that lost the protection of his mother was not starved to death, but was eaten by other carnivores. Although Wang Junlin has his own persistence and bottom line, he has never been a kind person, but at this moment, I don't know why he made such a decision that only a little girl would have.
It's just that this little guy will keep finding a thin cry, obviously hungry, if the little guy can eat meat, it's okay, it's not difficult to get a rabbit, a yellow sheep or something with the skills of Wang Junlin, not to mention that there are two wolf corpses next to it. But this little guy needs milk, which makes Wang Junlin a little worried, where to find a "wet nurse" for this little guy.
On the Gobi Desert in the early morning, there is not a trace of clouds, and the sky is blue like the sea of Jiuzhaigou, which is very beautiful and pure, but there is no flock of sheep that Wang Junlin wants. Wang Junlin wanted to find a ewe that had given birth to a lamb to feed the lynx, but this was obviously not an easy task.
Holding the little lynx to the east for a while, in the distance, Wang Junlin was on the flat gravel ground, and saw several beacon towers standing there abruptly.
A few days ago, when he went to the Western Turks, Wang Junlin heard the eldest grandson Wuji say that the history of these beacon towers can even be traced back to the Han Dynasty, after nearly a thousand years of wind and rain, now like a drooping old man, the appearance has been mottled, only the muscles and bones still exist.
When Wang Junlin swept under the beacon tower with the little lynx in his arms, every time he passed the beacon tower pier, it was like crossing a period of vicissitudes of history.
He believed that Huo Quai, who had stepped on the Yanzhi Mountain, had come here, and that one day the Xiongshi who led his army out of the fortress to conquer the Turks also passed here.
Now, however, there was only one man he had passed by.
Wang Junlin did not stop in front of any of the beacons, but still ran forward at a constant pace, for the little lynx looked hungry.
……
……
There is already a hint of fish belly white on the horizon, and the sun is about to rise.
In the evening yesterday evening, Wang Junlin finally found a ewe that had just laid a cub in a group of yellow sheep, he held the lynx and chased it for half an hour, and finally caught the tired ewe, and then held the ewe, and put the little lynx's mouth on the ewe's milk. head. The little lynx instinctively began to suck, and the ewe struggled violently at first, but when she found that it was difficult to break free from Wang Junlin's hand, and Wang Junlin seemed to have no intention of killing it for a while, she stopped struggling, and simply crawled there motionless, letting her own milk. The water is sucked by the little lynx.
It's just that both the little lynx and the ewe are too tired, and when the little lynx is half full, the little lynx and the ewe are asleep, and Wang Junlin sits next to them and cultivates all night. The little lynx occasionally wakes up in its sleep and instinctively takes a few more sips, but soon falls asleep again.
In the morning, when the ewe had found grass nearby to eat, he tore a piece of his clothes, made a rope, tied it around the sheep's neck, and carried the lynx along the road where the merchant had taken to the east.
He roughly calculated the distance he had run before, and it should not be far from Shazhou (Dunhuang in later generations), but this is not far, and it is only relative to the vast area of the Western Regions, and it is considered close to four or five hundred miles in the Western Regions.
The strange combination of a man, a sheep and a lynx walked about twenty miles eastward, and the little lynx and the yellow sheep were hungry again, so Wang Junlin had to let the ewe find grass to eat first, and then pressed the unlucky yellow sheep to the ground, and let the little lynx eat goat's milk.
Just as the little lynx was about to eat enough, and Wang Jun was worried about when he would be able to reach Gaotai City like this, he saw a convoy coming from behind him, driving in the direction of Shazhou.
This convoy had more than 20 knights escorting a carriage, all of them Han Chinese, all of them with cold expressions, strong breath, dressed in black, with a red belt tied around their waists, which seemed to be the guards or private soldiers of large families.
And the carriage was also quite gorgeous, pulled by two horses, very imposing, and the knight on the front horse held a flag in his hand, Wang Junlin looked at it carefully, only to find that there was a huge "Su" character written on it. What made Wang Junlin a little pleased was that there were knights pulling ten empty horses behind the convoy, although there were no saddles and stirrups on the horses, but Wang Junlin didn't have to worry about not being able to ride.
This reminded Wang Junlin of the Su family, a wealthy family in Shazhou.
There are requests for people, so Wang Junlin put his posture very low, he is a pragmatic person, he knows that there is no harm in doing so, in Wang Junlin's opinion, people who hold their own identity and can't put down the shelf are extremely stupid people.
With a gentle and harmless smile on his face, Wang Junlin stood on the side of the road and waited for the convoy to pass in front of him, especially the arrival of the person in charge of the carriage.
Soon, the principal's carriage arrived, and Wang Junlin immediately saluted: "The kid wants to go to Shazhou, but the road is far away, and he is weak and weak, so I don't know if I can borrow a horse from your master......"
"Stinky beggar, get out of the way." Before Wang Junlin could finish speaking, a knight next to the carriage shouted fiercely.
And as he spoke, the knight had already swung his whip at Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin's expression was cold, he stretched out his hand to grab the whip, and with a sharp pull, the cavalry was taken aback, and felt a huge force coming, and hurriedly grabbed the reins with his other hand, and clamped the horse's belly between his legs. But in this way, the power was applied to the war horse, and even the people and horses were pulled by Wang Junlin's hand, and the knight was suddenly in a hurry, so he simply let go of the whip and went to draw the waist knife, ready to kill Wang Junlin with one sword.
But before he could draw his sword, a figure flashed, and he was kicked to the ground by Wang Junlin, who was already holding the lynx and riding on his horse.
The knights were immediately shocked, half of them protected the carriage, and half of them drew their swords and rushed towards Wang Junlin.
At this moment, a sweet and gentle voice of a young woman came from the carriage: "Stop! ”
As soon as the voice came out, the ten knights who rushed towards Wang Junlin suddenly stopped and looked at Wang Junlin with a vigilant expression.
Then Wang Junlin saw a handsome little maid sticking her head out of the car window, and said crisply: "Miss said, borrow him an empty horse, if he can ride it, he will borrow him to ride to Shazhou." ”
Wang Junlin was overjoyed when he heard this, and clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, Miss Su." ”
The little maid stared curiously at the little lynx who was tightly holding Wang Junlin's clothes, and put her head back, Wang Junlin's hearing was now far beyond ordinary people, and he faintly heard the maid in the carriage say to the young lady: "Miss, that person is really strange, holding a small beast in his arms, it looks like a cat, but it doesn't look like it." However, his body was really dirty, his face and hair were messy and dirty, and if he didn't look very powerful, he would definitely be considered a beggar. ”
Wang Junlin heard the young lady say: "On the road from the Hexi Corridor to the Western Regions, no one has ever been able to walk down alone, and this person is not simple. ”
The little maid said, "The young lady also lent him a war horse." ”
The young lady sighed a little sadly, and said, "I am about to live with those wild people, and this is a matter of life and death for me. It's good to be able to help a Han Chinese before that. ”
The little maid said with some surprise: "I thought that Miss was watching him easily pull Li Sanwa off the horse, knowing that the force is not weak, and I am worried that if we fight, we will be damaged, and the empty horses behind are all wild horses that have not yet been tamed, but we were forcibly led away with a rope, there is no reins and saddle on it, how can he ride, Miss just wants him to retreat." ”
Wang Junlin listened to the conversation as he walked to the ten wild horses behind him under the guidance of a black-clothed guard.
"You pick one, and if you can ride it, you can ride it." The guard was clearly thinking the same as the maid.
Wang Junlin didn't care, his eyes swept over, and he walked towards the most divine black horse.
Strange to say, as soon as the guards approached, the ten wild horses, led by the black horse, kicked the guards or their mounts with their legs. But when Wang Junlin walked over, the horses were faintly afraid, as if they had encountered a natural enemy, and they were so obedient that they couldn't do it.
As early as half a year ago, when he joined the army in Tianshui County, Wang Junlin found that ordinary animals and beasts seemed to be afraid of him, he thought it was the reason for the blood jade pendant, but later he took the blood jade pendant and tried it, and it was still the same. Wang Junlin later carefully studied and thought about the reason, but he couldn't make sense.
