When Guo Yang returned to Ruyun Inn, it was already evening.

In the small courtyard of the moon fox, one person stood quietly, looking at the roof in a daze.

On the roof, a pigeon walks around proudly, "cooing" and looking quite cheerful.

Guo Yang was stunned when he saw the pigeon.

Isn't this the pigeon he overlooked? Yes, absolutely, it has a mark on its left leg with a little blue spot.

"Could it be ......" Guo Yang's heart beat faster, and he was so excited that he wanted to roar.

"Guo Yang, it's really good, look at your pigeon, it's back." Yanzi was also full of excitement, and couldn't help but run over and grab Guo Yang's hand.

"I just don't know if it's the only one or if all the pigeons have this trait." Guo Yang failed too many times, and he began to be cautious when he spoke.

"Just try it. Don't you have dozens of pigeons here? Swallow said.

"Okay, try it now!" As Guo Yang spoke, he walked towards the pigeon shed. As soon as he took a step, he felt that something was wrong, and when he looked down, a small white hand was holding his hand tightly.

"Swallow...... Hero ......" Guo Yang's heart was beating wildly, and his black face turned red, and he didn't know whether to withdraw his hand for a while, or whether to continue to let people pinch it.

Yanzi also found out that something was wrong, his face turned red, and he threw away Guo Yang's hand as soon as he shook his hand, and said with a curse in his mouth: "I hate it, my stinky hand stretched out for me to catch, are you ashamed!" ”

Guo Yang was depressed for a while, and said: "It's okay for you to grab my hand first, why are you so domineering!" ”

Unexpectedly, he didn't defend it, but when he opened his mouth to speak, Yanzi immediately turned his face and smashed it with a punch.

Guo Yang wanted to dodge, but when he saw that Yanzi was shy, with a hint of anger, he didn't dodge or dodge, and directly let the little fist hit him.

Yanzi's punch was originally seven or eight points of force, and he thought that with Guo Yang's temper, it should be easy to dodge. Unexpectedly, the fist hit him, and the swallow realized that something was wrong, and it was too late to regain his strength.

With a "bang" sound, Guo Yang was directly beaten and turned over, and his forehead hit an apricot tree next to him, and he was embarrassed by the long flow of blood.

Guo Yang slowly got up, spit out half a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale.

"You...... Stinky Guo Yang, why don't you dodge! Yanzi saw that he had beaten Guo Yang with one punch and vomited blood, his face changed greatly, and he wanted to go over to check the injury, but he felt embarrassed, and he looked quite embarrassed for a while.

"I thought you were reluctant to hit me, but who would have thought that your fist would be quite hard." Guo Yang smiled, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and slowly walked towards the pigeon loft.

Yanzi stood there in a daze, angry for a while, and said loudly: "Okay, you are hard, you are a man!" Do you think that if I punch me, you can offset the fact that you missed hitting me back then? Guo Yang, you dream, I will never forgive you. Forever! ”

After shouting, I saw that Guo Yang didn't even turn his head, and went straight into the pigeon loft, and the two lines of tears of the swallow flowed down.

"Okay, you Guo Yang, you're amazing now, aren't you? Look down on me, don't you? Okay, I'll go, I'm going to make you regret it forever! The swallow stamped her foot, roared a few words, turned and walked out the door.

However, she was still willing to hear Guo Yang's voice calling her and quickly apologize to her. Even, even if Guo Yang punched her, she was not so sad.

Yanzi's footsteps became slower and slower, and he was about to step out of the courtyard door, but he still didn't wait for Guo Yang's retention. She was angry for a while, and a lot of sentimentality came to her heart, and she couldn't help but feel sad.

She wanted to cry for a while.

"Let's go." Suddenly, Guo Yang said in her ear.

The swallow turned her head suddenly, but saw Guo Yang, who was a little pale, smiling, looking at her gently, holding a huge birdcage in her hand, in which dozens of pigeons were "cooing" and calling, looking quite excited.

"You...... It doesn't matter. I wanted to say another cruel word, but as soon as I said it, it turned into a tender greeting.

"It's okay, hitting hurts, scolding is love, it doesn't matter if you don't hit or scold. I like to let you fight. Guo Yang returned to that kind of face, which made Yanzi angry.

"I knew that I would have worked harder, and I would have killed it directly!" said ruthlessly, but he had already taken out a pill in his hand, and no matter what he did, he stuffed it directly into Guo Yang's mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a cool breath, sweeping away the wounds on his chest.

Guo Yang breathed a few times and said with a smile: "Slap and feed a candy, you will be like my mother." ”

"Does your mother beat you often?" Swallow asked, wide-eyed.

"I can only vaguely remember what she looked like. She only hit me once. I was three years old when she left. Guo Yang's expression was gloomy, and he seemed unwilling to say anything.

Yanzi stopped talking in a witty way, just silently followed behind Guo Yang, looking at this man who suddenly became sad, her nose was sour, and she couldn't help but want to cry for a while.

……

Guo Yang's pigeon experiment was a success.

Nearly fifty pigeons, thirty-three of them flew back to the Ruyun Inn from three hundred miles away. After two or three days, seven or eight more flew back.

After waiting for a few days, there were finally no pigeons flying back, Guo Yang thought that they were not suitable for him and gave up directly.

Guo Yang learned from Anu to domesticate wild boars, and began to observe these pigeons that flew back into three or four grades.

He was amazed to find that the pigeon was a very strong animal in love, and often one of them had an accident, and the other would wither and eventually die.

In addition, the pigeons' direction recognition is also different, some pigeons can fly long distances, even if they are three or four hundred miles away, they can find the exact route back. Some don't, more than 100 miles away, you will get lost, and it will take several days to fly back.

Of course, there are some who really can't find their way home and will never come back.

Every time he lost a pigeon, Guo Yang had pain in his flesh for several days. Fortunately, as he continued to hatch and train, the breed became more and more refined and the overall level was getting higher and higher. Guo Yang estimates that the highest quality pigeons can at least find their way back to the nest thousands of miles away.

That's an amazing feat!

Guo Yang re-sorts the different qualities of the pigeons, and constantly incubates, breeds and trains them so that they can adapt to more complex environments and longer distances.

Guo Yang fell into a state of semi-madness, his hair was scattered, his eye sockets were deep, and he had grown a beard that was extremely inappropriate for his age, and he was about to close his mouth.

His room was filled with the smell of pigeons, a slight stink, a slight smell, and a faint sense of mystery.

During this period, Yanzi was like a little lady, silently serving tea and water to Guo Yang, and from time to time helping Guo Yang take the pigeons that were to be tested to a place hundreds of miles away and release them.

……

The breeding of pigeons has been going on so busy and secretly that Guo Yang has even forgotten the bath that he has just adapted to and that fascinates him.

He was covered in the smell of pigeons, and often fell into contemplation, and when viewed from the side, his face was still black, but the edges and corners were sharp, and his thick lips were red and black, like two passionate pig's kidneys, and the swallows would inadvertently stir when they saw them.

Both of them lost track of time, immersed in a mysterious sense of ritual and unable to extricate themselves.

It wasn't until one day, when Anu came back, that they shouted in surprise: "Time flies so fast!" ”

Anu looked at Guo Yang suspiciously, then turned his head to look at Yanzi, and slowly exited the room with a frown.

"It stinks." Anu muttered, feeling the abominable smell of pigeons on his body.

"Anu, where's our caravan?" As soon as they met, Guo Yang asked eagerly.

"I'm coming back soon, it's about three days away, and I've already walked to the area of Tangshan City. I'll rush back first to report the good news. Anu said angrily.

After leaving Guo Yang for more than a year, Anu has a stomach of words to say to Guo Yang, he can see his face, but he seems to have nothing to say, as long as he sees Guo Yang, his heart is full of warmth and joy.

"It's good to be back, it's been hard all the way. There are no losses in personnel, right? Guo Yang looked at Anu and asked gently.

"In the depths of Liaodong, I was attacked by the Shanjung people, two people died, and Wang Huzi was shot with an arrow, but fortunately he was not hit and rescued." Anu said succinctly.

"The Shanjungs? The caravan was on the eastern front, how could they have flowed over? Guo Yang frowned and asked.

"No, we came back on the Western Front. However, after the First World War, the Shanjung people were frightened and surrendered. Anu said.

"Good work." Guo Yang patted Anu on the shoulder and said astringently.

Anu has never said much, Guo Yang knows in his heart that his understatement may be a hard fight for days and nights, and it is extremely dangerous.

"It's not a bad thing to fight a dozen and get to know each other." Anu smiled innocently.

"Well, well done. If we want the caravan to grow, we need more and more friends. Wang Huzi has a good saying, sometimes, we not only need friends, but also need to turn enemies into friends. Guo Yang said.

"Anu, when you go to Liaodong this time, have you seen the old man Wuhuan?" Swallow asked suddenly.

"When I saw it, he said hello and brought you some things, all on the back caravan." Anu replied with a bow.

He ...... Okay? The swallow bit her lip and asked softly.

"He was very good, and said that he would leave there after he recently helped Jizi Korea pacify some indigenous tribes. Maybe I'm looking for you, maybe I'm looking for a clean place to pick you up. Anu said.

"This bad old man, who is busy with other people's affairs all day long, when will he still think of me! Hum! The swallow said hardly, but the tears flowed down uncontrollably.
