Chapter 34: Returning Home (2)
Luckily, they had not only two horses, but also three dogs.
The Huns were very strong, and although he was a waste that everyone looked down on, when he found that the dog appeared quietly in front of his house, he still pounced bravely.
The dog who was trained by He Chou is very good at killing, especially killing a Hun face-to-face, which is very easy for him.
It's just that he has to devote more than half of his energy to guarding against the three dogs in the family, and the shepherd dogs on the grassland can fight with wild wolves very fiercely.
In the midst of the sheepdog's barking, the dog easily plunged the dagger into the neck of the shepherd.
Probably because Sibeqi treated the three dogs and his very old wife badly, when the dog killed Sibeqi, his dog didn't bite the dog, and his very old wife seemed to be very excited.
The murder of the Huns in the wasteland is not uncommon, and the most common reason is that other people's wives can give birth to children, or other people's wives are more capable.
The old woman thought that the dog had taken a fancy to her more capable, so she killed Xi Beqi to snatch her.
The dog only wanted to take the horse and a little bit of jerky, and originally wanted to take the three dogs, but the three dogs tightly protected the old woman and looked at the dog.
"Do you want me?" The old woman asked expectantly.
The dog shook his head and said, "Xi Buqi always beats you and doesn't give you food, this is not what a Hun warrior should do, so I killed him and took away his war horse and weapons."
As for the cattle and sheep, I will leave them all to you, and if you think that I have killed Xi Buqi and made you suffer, I can also compensate you for four sheep. ”
Hearing that she could get the sheep at home and get compensation for four sheep, the old woman immediately gave up the little flame of love that had just risen, and firmly told the dog that he must take out five sheep to compensate her, and only in this way would she tell others that Xi Buqi was bitten to death by a wolf.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, the dog took the old woman to take five sheep from his sheepfold, and the matter of digging a pit and burying the corpse was naturally borne by the old woman.
Lan Ying stood in front of the tent and watched the dog complete the transaction with the old woman, took the two war horses that originally belonged to Xi Buqi, and said a little unhappily: "Why don't you kill that useless old woman together?" ”
The dog shook his head and said, "We can't kill it, we have to use her mouth to tell outsiders that we were eaten by wolves." ”
"What if she talks nonsense?"
"No, she is a very wealthy old woman now, and it is in her best interest to tell others not to be eaten by wolves."
"You help her, why do you give her sheep?"
The dog sighed and said, "We can't take all these sheep with us. ”
Lan Ying's eyes were red and she said: "In this way, we will become poor, and we will have nothing to eat when we arrive in the Han Kingdom." ”
The dog patted Lan Ying's ass and said, "As long as you arrive in the Han Kingdom, you will have whatever you want to eat, and there will be meals that will never be finished."
Be prepared and try to take as few things as possible. ”
There weren't many things for the shepherd, Lan Ying, Lan Qiao quickly cleaned up, at this time, for some reason, Lan Qiao stopped talking, and even Lan Ying, who had always talked the most, had no interest in talking.
From tomorrow onwards, they will be plunged into an unknown state of life, and no one can guarantee that they will arrive in Chang'an safely......
The dog sat at the mouth of the tent, and because of the clouds, there were no stars in the sky, only a thick darkness that could not be dissolved.
The old woman, who was two miles away, also had no heart to sleep, and sat at the door of the tent with her three dogs and lit a fire to protect the possessions she had already had.
When the sky was slightly bright, the dog opened his eyes, woke up Lan Ying, Ran Qiao, and said in a low voice: "Think clearly, as long as we leave here, we won't be able to turn back." ”
Rancho looked at the child in his arms and nodded, "I don't want my son to go to war like other Huns in the future." ”
Lan Ying looked very open, opened her arms and hugged the dog and finally confirmed: "In Handi, we really don't have to eat wild vegetable porridge?"
Is there really honey for me to eat? ”
The dog hugged Rancho tightly and said, "Definitely! ”
Rancho, Lan Ying got on the war horse, the dog tied the leggings with ropes, hung all the weapons on himself, opened the sheepfold, there were only twelve sheep left in the sheepfold, and left the pasture driven by two sheepdogs.
There may have been a light rain last night, the green of the summer grassland is intoxicating, the water in the river is clear and transparent, the blue sky is like a huge pot buckled overhead, the dog took out the compass to confirm the direction again, and then jumped down the dirt slope, and drove the sheep south with a loud voice.
At this moment, a sense of sadness faintly rose in the dog's chest, but he was not afraid at all, after all, he was going home.
The sheep were driven all the way south by the impatient sheepdogs, and Lan Ying and Rancho's war horses also walked quickly south.
This made the dog feel very happy, and he really wanted to hold the puppy to the bad-tempered owner to see......
Yun Lang was restless and restless.
He Chou has withdrawn from the center of power forever, then, the dog must be the fate of being abandoned.
For two years, there has been no news about the dog, if the dog could survive by relying on his meager affection with Liu Ling before, then now it is completely different, neither Wei Qing nor Li Guang, who was reused by the emperor this time, had no intention of ending the war easily.
The emperor expropriated the country violently, and in order to gather the money, food, livestock, and armor they needed, he had done it to the extreme.
If this battle can't give the emperor a satisfactory answer, both Wei Qing and Li Guang have no choice but to commit suicide to thank the world.
Crazy emperors, crazy generals, and soldiers armed to the teeth, Yun Lang believed that this battle was very important for both the Han and the Xiongnu.
If the Han Dynasty wins, the Xiongnu will inevitably flee to the north of the desert, and the Han will not be able to use swords within ten years.
If the Xiongnu won a big victory, then, from the moment of defeat, every Han Chinese must be ready to go to the battlefield.
In such a harsh environment, it became inevitable for the Huns to eliminate the Han people around them, and at this time, it was impossible for Liu Ling to give up his newly established prestige among the Huns for the sake of a Han Chinese.
Killing the dog didn't have much of a psychological barrier for Liu Ling.
Heisha came in from the outside and lit the candle, so that Yunlang, who was sitting in the dark, was suddenly exposed to the light.
"Has the letter to Li Guangjunzhong been sent?"
Pingsha Shili said: "It has been issued!" ”
"Has the letter to the Great General been delivered to the Eldest Princess's Mansion?"
"It's already delivered."
"Then submit another one and increase the bounty for rescuing Xu Liang from 100 gold to 500 gold!"
Ping Sha hesitated for a moment and then arched his hand: "An abandoned son, the head of the family should not do this, no matter what, Xu Liang is an embroidered messenger, if such a righteous and bright rescue is extremely unfavorable to the Yun family." ”
Yun Lang looked at Ping Sha and said, "What if it were you?" ”
Pingsha stood up straight and said loudly: "Every retainer has a price, if the price of the head of the family to help Pingsha exceeds the value, and Pingsha will bring disaster to the Yun clan at this time, the head of the family will not care about Pingsha's life and death."
Pingsha dies without resentment, this is Pingsha's consciousness as a retainer, and a retainer who can't bring benefits to the family, don't do it! ”
"This is the way your father gave you to behave in the world?"
Ping Sha said in a deep voice: "Those who do big things are not limited to small ......"
Before Ping Sha's words fell, he received a heavy blow to his head, and when Venus was flying in front of him, he felt countless fists and feet fall on him......
After a long time, Pingsha, who fell to the ground, looked at the head of the house in bewilderment, and he did not feel that there was anything wrong with his words.
Yun Lang picked up the bamboo slip from the ground, put it on the table and said, "I'll give you a lesson today, so that you can understand a truth - the people of the Yun family can't afford to talk about catties."
Don't tell me about your father's bullshit yin and yang theory.
Now go and do the work, just do what I just said, even if the dog really becomes a dog, you have to bring him back.
It's best to do things secretly, and if you can't do it, then don't hide it. ”
