Chapter Seventy-Three: The Quiet Beauty of Autumn Leaves (I)
The blue sky, the snow-white sheep, galloping in the melodious pastoral song, I can't tell how comfortable it is. Riding a horse with black hair and shiny hair, a cluster of snow-white horses between its hooves, he traveled with great ambition and ran almost to every corner of the pasture.
The first time I saw this dark cloud covered with snow. It was surrounded by a herd of beautiful mares, with its head held high, and it looked like it was unbeatable and proud. This made Lu Liao very disliked, and he was determined to trample his pride under his feet.
"This is the foal we brought from the Western Regions back then, and we have become the head horse here in less than two years of growing up. No one has been able to conquer it for almost two years, do you want to try it? Kang Zhimu smiled slightly, and looked at his cheap brother-in-law with a provocative gaze.
With his eyes shining brightly, the thief slowly approached the proud king of horses. But the people just snorted and didn't even look at him.
After passing by, he turned over and grabbed the long mane. The dark clouds covered the snow with a long hiss, and the four hooves soared into the air, and sped forward like wind and lightning.
As if split in half by a black bolt of lightning, the horses slowly retreated respectfully, as if cheering for their king.
The road is tossed and turned on the horses, like a lonely boat in the sea, a dead leaf in the autumn wind. But he still held on to his mane steadily, but it didn't fall.
In the wild running, the dark clouds covered the snow and suddenly stopped suddenly, and flew out when the road was over, and fell on the grass with a "bang", and I couldn't get up for half a day. The proud horse paced leisurely where he had laid down for a few steps, and then galloped back to its territory.
In the midst of laughter, Lu rubbed his ass and got up. His eyes narrowed as he looked at the dark clouds that were receiving congratulations from the beautiful mare.
In the stable under the moonlit night, a pair of triangular ears of dark clouds covered with snow stood high above the door of his head, and a pair of bright eyes stared at the uninvited guest in front of him vigilantly.
After passing by, he pulled out the autumn water with a "bang", and the cold blade made a few strokes on the black and long thing under the dark cloud cover snow, and viciously met its eyes.
"Tomorrow, if you dare to throw labor down again, labor and management will castrate you, and see how you face some beautiful mares."
With an evil smile on his face, Qiushui gestured at the thing a few more times. The dark clouds covered the deep eyes of the snow, and there was actually a bit of fear.
The next day, after passing by, I first made a few gestures in front of the dark clouds and covered the snow, and then slowly turned over and got on the horse, and galloped back and forth a few times in high spirits in the incredible eyes of others.
In the process of patrolling the ranch, whether you know familiar people or not, you always have to find someone to chat with when you pass by. In just over 20 days, no one in the Kang clan knew that there was such a beautiful wife as Amir and a famous horse like Dark Cloud Cover Snow.
"Master, Master!" Bai Liangqi's nose was blue and his eyes were swollen, and he ran to the road with a look of anxiety: "Kang Tisi was taken away by the bad guys, Master, go and save her!" ”
Lu was shocked and looked in the direction of Bai Liangqi's finger. I saw a man in front of me in ragged clothes and shaggy hair, putting the crying Contisi on his horse and preparing to flee.
After passing by, I gently pinched the horse's belly, and the dark clouds covered the snow and chased after it.
The body fluctuated slightly with the galloping of the dark clouds and snow, and the wind in his ears whistled by, and the feeling of the wind flying quickly gave way to be very intoxicated.
The thief who fled on horseback in front of him got closer and closer, pulled out the autumn water, and stared at the thief's neck.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, the thief took out a horn and blew it "woo". Then he slowly stopped, drew a scimitar, and prepared to meet the path that was coming after him.
The clouds covered the snow so fast that the thief barely reacted, and when he had reached the end of the road, he turned the hilt of his sword upside down, and with the force of the horse, he struck lightly on the thief's head.
Turning the horse's head, he picked up the almost frightened Contes from the thief who had fallen limply on the horse, only to find that the thief was too dead to die.
Pinched her hand on Contis's white and tender little face, and Contisi cried loudly with a "wow". It doesn't matter how sad the little guy cries, he laughs proudly when he passes by.
The thief's trumpet before his death finally attracted his comrades. A thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded, and no less than a hundred thieves from afar rushed towards the road with a roar.
When he passed by, he panicked, picked up Kangtisi, who kept crying, got on his horse and turned around and fled.
As soon as he ran back for a while, he saw Kang Zhimu with dozens of young people, shouting and shouting to greet him.
"Mocking! It was the Xi people who attacked the tribe. A young man from the Kang tribe shouted loudly.
passed by and approached Kang Zhimu, whose face was blood-red, and wanted to hand him the crying Kang Tisi.
"Daddy! My uncle bullied me, and he pinched people's faces so painfully. When she saw her father, she cried even more sadly.
Kang Zhimu didn't look at the embarrassed face and walked with his crying daughter, pulled out his long knife and raised his arms and shouted: "Follow me to meet these hateful taunts, and I can't let them rush into the tribe." ”
After a glance at the road, she saw Pei Wuniang who rushed up, put Kang Tisi into her arms, and rushed forward with Kang Zhimu. Pei Wuniang glanced at the road angrily, and then casually threw it to a young man beside her, and also rushed forward.
The two sides of the charge drew closer, and the ground began to shake with the sound of heavy horses' hooves. Some young people who are good at shooting, like Pei Wuniang, spread their bows and arrows on the back of a galloping horse, and the "swooping" ones shot a rain of arrows.
Several people fell in an instant, and some people took their bows and arrows and shot them this way.
The road was fast, and soon caught up with Kang Zhimu and formed an arrow with him. Holding the long knife firmly in his hand, the two teams collided together in the blink of an eye.
Qiushui's sharp blade, like a torn cloth, gently slashed across the human body, bringing up a rain of blood. After turning his head, he took advantage of the momentum of the dark clouds covering the snow, and the blade was aimed at the next opponent.
Another splash of blood flew up, and there was no enemy in front of him. Following Kang Zhimu's horse's head, he turned around and killed the enemy who broke through the formation.
The muffled sound of "fluttering and fluttering" and the splashing of blood mist took away the lives of young people.
The Xi people, who had left more than 30 corpses, fled, and the Kang clan also lost the lives of eight young people. Kang Zhimu, who was covered in blood, looked at the young clansmen who were lying in a pool of blood, and said to the road beside him with a sad face.
"I have always objected to my father's practice of not leaving the fate of the tribe to the poor woman. But as more and more young people died, I vaguely understood his thoughts. But as long as I live, I can give my life, and I will never give any more women of my tribe. ”;
He patted Kang Zhimu's shoulder comfortingly, but did not speak.
"Senior brother! How many enemies did you kill? Pei Wuniang walked over excitedly, with some blood stains on her face.
For this nervous junior sister, there is nothing to say after passing by. After a moment's hesitation, he slowly stretched out four fingers.
The corners of Pei Wuniang's mouth curled, and her contempt was not concealed at all: "There are four who died under my arrows, senior brother, you are too weak." ”
Lu sighed slightly, and touched Pei Wuniang's head: "If there are your relatives among the dead, you will understand that life is not a simple number." ”
The bodies of eight young men were placed on a pile of firewood. The men, women, and children of the tribe quietly looked at the young people who died bravely to protect the tribe. As Kang Rizhi lit the wooden pile with a torch, he sang a sad ballad.
Emile snuggled into her arms, caressing her slightly bulging abdomen, her eyes filled with tears.
"I hope that our children will not face such a fate in the future."
"No, absolutely not." Lu Lu muttered, looking at those vaguely familiar faces in the firelight, quietly with the burning dead leaves, turned into nothingness.
After the baptism of blood together, the friendship of young people can be easily sublimated. Kang Zhimu and the young people in the tribe mingled with the road, and there was no barrier.
With a happy face, watching Emir sew a small coat for his unborn son, Kang Zhimu rushed in with a panicked expression.
"Let's go! Go away. Fan Yang Jiedu has made people come to the house. I'm going to take Amir back for questioning, and I'm now waiting for my father's reply. I'll find a way to delay, you guys hurry up. ”
Kang Zhimu turned around and disappeared again, and looked at Emir a little confused: "Did you tell the news you heard through your father to Master An?" ”
Amir looked at the road with some guilt: "I can't help it for the tribe to be able to inhabit this grassland. ”
"Amir, don't pack anything, let's run away." I looked a little flustered when I got on the road.
"Run, where can we flee? We fled, what about my father and brothers, what about my brothers and sisters of the tribe. What about your family in Chang'an City. Amir shook his head slightly.
"Let's get out of here and find a way." After the road, he had lost his square inch, and as soon as he grabbed Amir, he wanted to run out.
Amir took out a short knife and aimed it at his neck, and looked at the road with tears streaming down his face, shaking his head firmly.
Lu hugged Amir's body and knelt down weakly.
