Chapter Seventy-One: The Long Road Comes to an End
In the early morning, in the misty valley, on the long-decayed Peijiazhuang martial arts arena, Pei Wuniang pulled the longbow like a full moon and did not move for a long time, like a lifelike statue.
General Pei Min is not only brilliant in swordsmanship, but also amazing in archery. It is rumored that he once shot a tiger in thirty in one day, and he looked around at the bottom of the mountain. Some fathers and elders said: "This is all biao, like a tiger." If the general encounters a real tiger, there is nothing he can do. Min said: "Where is the real tiger?" The old father said: "Since then, thirty miles to the north, there are often them." "Min jumped on the horse, and the second bush was thin. If there is a tiger freed up, the shape is small and fierce, and the ground roars, and the mountain rock cracks. The horses are easy, the bows and arrows are falling, and they are inevitable. Since then, he has been afraid and has not shot the tiger again.
Pei Wuniang was unwilling to bear the stigma of her deceased grandfather, so she practiced archery hard, determined to hunt and shoot a fierce tiger and put it in front of people.
The long arrow "boomed" through the air and was firmly nailed to the center of the target circle fifty steps ago. Pei Wuniang quickly took out one long arrow after another, one arrow after another, the arrows and arrows were connected, and the center of the circle was captured.
Passing by Bai Liangqi, a large and a small master and apprentice, I was dazzled and smacked.
"The legendary nine-star arrow, do you want to learn it?" After passing by, Pei Wuniang, who looked not far away with envy, shook her head and sighed, and asked Bai Liangqi.
Bai Liangqi nodded repeatedly.
"Then go and call your aunt a few more times, and beg her to teach you." The road was pushed and the cypress was pushed.
"No, I called my sister several times at dinner last night, and now in order to learn the archery skills of other people's ancestors, you ask me to call other people's aunts, I can't afford to lose that person." You want to learn, why don't you go? Bai Liangqi rolled his eyes.
"I'm going? If I go to school, I'll be a generation shorter. You stinky boy, you don't listen to Master's words, and you don't know how to respect your teacher at all. "I walked and slapped Bai Liangqi on the head.
"If you beat me again, I'll go and tell Sister Pei that you covet her family's ancestral archery skills." Bai Liangqi looked at the road angrily and threatened.
The road was angry, and he pulled Bai Liangqi and left. After walking for a long time, he rushed into Guigu Peak.
"This is the place where Master Zu taught Sun Bin and Pang Juan the art of war of the two sages and elders." After speaking, he turned his head and pointed to two stone mountains, one high and one short, "The tall one is like an unkempt old man with a contemplative face, and it is rumored that it was made by the ancestor sitting down." The short one is Mr. Guigu's disciple Ni'er. After Mr. sat down, Ni'er was willing to guard the mountain gate for his end, and turned into Ni'er Mountain. Look at the ancestors in the door, which one is as disrespectful to the master as you are. ”
Lu looked at the disobedient disciple with an annoyed face.
"Master, did you say that Ni'er Ancestor, will a woman die?" Bai Liangqi tilted his head, a curious look on his face.
A gust of mountain wind suddenly blew by, and he turned his head when he passed by, not daring to look at the stone mountain where the ancestor was sitting. Pointing at Bai Liangqi bitterly, can this disciple still be able to teach himself.
Back to Peijiazhuang, after dinner. In the small courtyard, he covered his chin with his hand and paced in contemplation.
"If I want something, I must first do what I like. Senior Sister Pei practiced archery hard in the mountains, and she wanted to wash away the stigma of her grandfather, and I couldn't help with this. But what else does she like? "I said to myself.
"Yes! What else does she like? Bai Liangqi followed behind him, pacing in contemplation in the same way.
In the early morning of the next day, Pei Wuniang stood on the martial arts arena and began to practice archery again.
After passing by, he and Bai Liangqi also stood close to the left, learning Pei Wuniang's appearance, concentrating and calming, and drawing the bow like a full moon.
Pei Wuniang's arrow was firmly in the center of the nail arrow target, and the small arrow shot by Bai Liangqi bounced on the arrow target and fell. The long arrow shot by the road is the most powerful and the loudest, but the shadow of the long arrow is not visible on the arrow target.
After repeated times, Pei Wuniang finally couldn't stand it anymore, and walked over and reprimanded the two of them.
A big fox and a small fox looked at each other and smiled proudly.
Pei Wuniang, a bold and enthusiastic and proud girl, is inevitably a good teacher.
On a high mountain peak, Emir looked intently at the direction of Fanyang Jiedu Mansion in Youzhou, touched his lower abdomen, and sighed faintly.
walked by and gently hugged her from behind.
"It's been almost five months since you kidnapped me from that cage-like carriage. Now that Fan Yang is close at hand, you have been learning archery with Sister Pei for more than ten days, are we going to stay here all the time? Amir covered his hand and said in a sad tone.
The body that passed by suddenly became a little stiff, and he knew in his heart that he had been running away. But can escaping solve the problem?
"Good! Tomorrow we will pack up and go to Youzhou City. Lu said in a dry tone.
Amir shook his head slightly: "My father and brother, my people, are in the grassland on the edge of the Great Wall. Finally, I want to meet them. When they learned that I was back, they would naturally inform the Jiedu Mansion. ”
A gust of mountain wind whined and blew, and the two people who hugged tightly were blown into their clothes.
The carriage took Emile and Bai Liangqi slowly, but there were more heroic girls Pei Wuniang riding horses and pulling bows beside her. She wanted to travel to seek a breakthrough, but she didn't care how reluctant she was, so she followed by herself.
As they got closer to Amir's tribal hometown by the Great Wall, the words between the two became less and less, as if they had been separated a lot.
The endless grassland is like a huge green carpet spread on the ground. The grass waves rippled away, a few small golden flowers, and flocks of sheep dotted on the green carpet like white clouds in the sky. In the distance, there are tents of various colors, and you can vaguely see shepherds chasing and playing on horses.
Amir jumped out of the carriage and knelt on the green grass with weak knees, tears falling drop by drop on the green grass like pearls with broken threads.
The shepherd in the distance, galloping on his horse, rushed to the front, and without saying a word, looked at them with unkind eyes.
Amir looked up and saw the handsome and heroic young man in his mid-twenties. With tears in his eyes, he rushed forward, shouting: "Big brother, I am your most beloved sister Amir." ”
The young man took a closer look at Emile, jumped off his horse in excitement, hugged her tightly, and burst into tears.
"Amir, my poor sister, you are back!";
The group gathered around Amir and walked far to the widest tent on the prairie. After passing the three people, they stood there blankly at a loss as if they had been forgotten.
"Master! Miss Emile, don't you want you anymore? Bai Liangqi raised his little head and looked at the empty road in his heart.
"Xiao Liangqi, don't talk nonsense, how can Sister Emir not want a senior brother. She was just so excited that she forgot about it for a while. Pei Wuniang patted Bai Liangqi's head lightly, and secretly glanced at the somewhat lost road.
After walking for a long time, he looked at the tent where Emile disappeared into in the distance.
It didn't take long for Amir to see a middle-aged man in beautiful clothes with a smile on his face, surrounded by a group of shepherds, in front of the three of them.
"He called the way, don't look at his weak appearance, but he is more heroic than the legendary warriors in the clan. It's him, escorting your daughter all the way back to her hometown. Emile introduced the road with a happy face, and anyone could see that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
The middle-aged man's weather-beaten face showed a hint of embarrassment faintly. Then he looked at the road with a smile on his face, and bent down and saluted: "Old man Kang Rizhi, thank you very much for this warrior's kindness to the little girl all the way." ”
For this de facto father-in-law, I don't dare to lose my manners when I get on the road. solemnly replied: "The juniors are on the way, escorting Miss Emir is the duty of the juniors, and the adults are polite." ”
The group entered the tent and sat down separately. After passing by, he casually looked at the simple layout inside, and secretly watched the leader of the Kang tribe from time to time to see the day. The wrinkled and bumpy face did not become happy because of the return of her daughter, but was very heavy. This made Lu Li's heart go up and down, and he was very uneasy.
The sumptuous special banquet and the enthusiastic Hu Xuan dance could not make the atmosphere in the tent warm. Only a cute little Lori, who was dressed in costume and about five or six years old, also came up to perform the Hu Xuan Dance, so she gave way and showed a smile on her face.
From time to time, he glanced at the smiling Amir, and before he knew it, he was drunk and unconscious.
At noon the next day, I woke up with a splitting headache. I habitually touch my side, but I don't touch the familiar body or smell the familiar body fragrance. Stunned, he walked out of the tent where he lived, and the sun was so fierce that he could barely open his eyes.
Returning to the tent, washing his face with the water in the copper basin, he turned around and saw the handsome and heroic young man, Amir's brother Kang Zhimu, walking in with two bearded girls holding gifts.
"These gifts are to thank you for sending my sister back to her hometown, and I hope you can accept it." Kang Zhimu said with a blank expression.
"What about Amir? Where she is, I want to see her. I didn't even look at the gifts when I passed by, and I cried out in a panic.
Kang Zhimu's face was painful, and he didn't dare to face the road seriously: "My sister, Amir, she won't see you again." ”
"Nope! I don't believe it. Where is Amir, I must see her. "When you get there, you're going to rush outside.
Kang Zhimu blocked the way, and his expression was very painful: "As the most beautiful pearl of the tribe four years ago, Amir dedicated it to Lord An Lushan, the savior of my Hu tribe. No matter where she ended up or what she did, it could only be handled by Lord An. In order not to bring trouble to the tribe, she will not see you again. ”
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" After passing and squatting down weakly, in fact, this result, in the final journey, he and Amir had already been clear.
The carriage slowly left, and the road was blank, sitting on the wheel like a walking corpse. Only Bai Liangqi desperately lifted his little head out of the car window and looked intently at the rear.
In a frenzy, Emile rushed his horses up a high slope. Looking at the carriage that was gradually moving away, tears slid down his face like a spring.
Standing alone on the slope, screaming the name of the road. But the wind on the grassland ruthlessly blew away her screams, and she could only wave the white silk scarf without an assistant.
