Chapter 122: Freedom Can't Be Eaten
Wang Lin's height is more than two meters according to later generations, and Bu He is a head shorter than Zhao Yan, it looks like only about one meter six, and the gap between him and Wang Lin is too big, but wrestling is not a matter of winning or losing, in addition to strength, skill is also a very important decisive factor.
Bu He, as the number one wrestling master under the command of the king of the competition, is naturally not in vain, his lower limbs are thick, obviously the lower plate is very stable, and the calluses on his hands are very thick, perhaps he often practices wrestling with something rough.
The crowd dispersed, making way for the two of them to make way for an open space, but the originally imagined dragon fight did not appear, because as soon as Wang Lin came up, he took advantage of his height to grab the back of Bu He's neck and lift him up.
Bu He's face quickly turned black and red, and he struggled to escape from Wang Lin's hands, but everything was in vain, Wang Lin's big hand did not move at all, and the strength he used was getting bigger and bigger, and he didn't know if it pressed the major artery on Bu He's neck, or if Bu He's temperament was too big, and before the king of the competition could speak, Bu He's eyes closed and he fainted.
Seeing this, Wang Lin gently put the cloth on the ground, turned his head and said to Zhao Yan: "Senior brother, I won, we are free." ”
Zhao Yan stretched out his thumb and gave Wang Lin a thumbs up, and Wang Lin suddenly smiled, happy.
Gegentana suddenly jumped out and said in an excited tone: "This time it doesn't count, you ugly devil broke the rules, wrestling is not like this." ”
Wang Lin was a little afraid of all non-male creatures, and he avoided Gegentana's gaze, pretending to look around, not daring to look at Gegentana.
Zhao Yan doesn't have much affection for this tall and not much shorter than herself, her legs are amazing? Xiong is amazing, huh? Brother doesn't bother to talk to you.
"Your Highness, we won, shouldn't we announce the results?" Zhao Yan said to the king of the journal.
The Saikan King's face was gloomy as if he could drip water, and he glanced at the unconscious Buhe, and he didn't know how to scold in his heart.
"If you win, I can give you a tent, and you can move around as you please, but don't try to run away, or I don't mind having your heads cut off and hung on the flagpole."
"Of course, we are self-aware." Zhao Yan replied calmly.
King Saikan called a Warat general from the crowd and said in Mongolian: "Temur, the tent next to you belongs to these two Ming people. They can move around the camp as they please, but you have to be careful not to let the two of them escape. ”
After speaking, the king of the saikan pulled Gegentana and turned around and walked towards his tent, on the way Gegentana whispered a few words, the king of the saikan nodded, suddenly stopped, turned his head and said: "You have gained relative freedom, my people will no longer provide you with food for free, if you feel hungry, you can exchange it for food through your own labor." ”
"I heard that there are many thieves in the country, and in our country, if anyone steals something, the whole tribe will spit on him, and then he will be stripped naked and tied to the flagpole, and if he is still alive in ten days, he will be driven out of the tribe and left to fend for himself." ”
As soon as the brother and sister sang and harmonized, Zhao Yan was a little speechless, everything must have been thought up by this Wara chick, Zhao Yan really wanted to strip Gegentana naked and tie it to the flagpole at this moment, while eating delicious food, while watching her struggle and scold, and then gradually lose their luster in her eyes under the sun, and finally ......
Well, it seems that my thoughts are a little dangerous. Zhao Yan swallowed his saliva, he found that he seemed to be hungry, and he knew that he should have eaten more before, although the Wara people gave him and Wang Lin all tasteless barbecue meat, and drank raw goat's milk, but it was better than being hungry.
Seeing that Zhao Yan was deflated, the king of the journal was in a better mood, and after laughing twice, he returned to his tent.
Zhao Yan and Wang Lin were led to the tent belonging to the two of them by the Warat general named Temur, and then they were dumbfounded, is this a human habit? Even if the tent is full of patches, the point is that there are still a lot of holes that have not been filled, and you can imagine how sour the people who live in it should be once it is cold at night.
"What is this general called?" There was no way, Zhao Yan could only look at his neighbor and try to change his living environment a little through him.
Temur couldn't understand the official words of the Ming Dynasty, he said a few words, then pointed to the tent in front of him, threw down Zhao Yan and the others, and turned back to his tent.
"Senior brother, I'm hungry." Wang Lin has always been optimistic, he doesn't think that the tent in front of him is too simple, in his eyes, as long as the residence can be lived, why ask for so much.
Zhao Yan shook his head, walked into the tent with Wang Lin one after the other and took a look, and found that there were a few blankets piled up in the corner of the tent, although they were dirty, but keeping warm should not be a problem, so he let go of half of his heart and began to think of a way for his next meal with Wang Lin.
As far as Zhao Yan currently knows, only the two siblings of Saikan Wang and Gegentana can communicate fluently with themselves, which limits a major channel for Zhao Yan and the two to obtain food.
Alas, freedom cannot be eaten as food, the ancients did not deceive me, it was better to continue to be a prisoner if I knew this, the tent where I lived did not leak, and the food and drink were free.
Zhao Yan sighed, and led Wang Lin to turn his head and walk towards the camp of the king of the saikan, he wanted to discuss with the king of the saikan again, to see if he could give wang lin to that gergentana in exchange for some food.
Of course, this is still nonsense, Zhao Yan will definitely not do such a thing, he actually wants to borrow a pair of bows and arrows from the king of Saikan, since Wang Lin's archery skills are so powerful, and there are so many birds coming and going from the south to the north, in fact, the food is still very easy to solve.
Temur, who lived next door, kept an eye on the movements of the two of them, and almost as soon as the two of them walked out of the tent, Temur followed.
Zhao Yan saw Temur and began to gesture with the idea of giving it a try.
"Well, can you lend us your bow and arrows...... Sou...... We use it to shoot birds...... Dine...... We're hungry. Zhao Yan said with a gesture, and Temur actually turned around and took out a pair of bows and arrows from his tent and handed it to Wang Lin.
Good guys! Zhao Yan gave Temur a thumbs up, and then happily beckoned Wang Lin to start shooting birds.
Wang Lin opened the bow and muttered, "It's too soft, I can't use any strength." ”
Zhao Yan angrily punched Wang Lin's thigh and scolded, "Do you still want to eat?" If you don't shoot again, it'll be dark, and we'll be hungry tonight. ”
The feel of the bow and arrow is not more important than filling the stomach, Wang Lin looked up at the sky, and after a while, a group of geese flew in the sky, Wang Lin suddenly drew the bow and arrows, swishing......
A pot of arrows was shot by him in an instant, and seven or eight geese in the distance crackled and smashed into the camp like rain, and the nearby Warat soldiers opened their tents with a confused expression, and then looked at the corpses of geese all over the ground and looked at each other.
Zhao Yan happily went up and picked up a few geese, handed them to Temur casually, and gestured: "Thank you for lending us a bow and arrow, and giving you a wild goose for encouragement." ”
Zhao Yan definitely couldn't draw the four words 'encouragement with capital', but Temur understood what he meant, he took the wild goose and the bow and arrow with an embarrassed face, and then turned back to his tent and took out a leather bag and handed it to Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan can still tell the taste of mare's milk wine, which is much better than raw goat's milk.
All the Warat soldiers were both cavalry and archers, but not everyone could shoot arrows, and not everyone could shoot birds flying in the sky, and after all, there were only a few people who could do this.
The staple food of the grassland people is generally beef and mutton, and there are few other staple foods, and the Warat people are no exception, but it is easy to get tired of eating beef and mutton all day long, so when Zhao Yan and Wang Lin began to make a fire to roast the geese with the assistance of Temur, many Warat soldiers stood in the distance and swallowed saliva secretly.
Although it is all meat, the meat of birds is much more delicate than that of beef and mutton, and Zhao Yan picked a few flowers from the ground casually, and then dripped the flower juice on the wild goose meat, which suddenly added to the aroma, even Gegentana, who was gnawing on the bones of the sheep in his tent, smelled this aroma, and then curiously walked out of the tent and began to look for the source of the aroma.
Looking for it, looking for it, Gegentana finally saw Zhao Yan and the three of them who were barbecuing.
"Temur, what are you doing?" Gegentana looked angrily at Temur, who was drooling.
When Temur saw Gegentana as if he were his own child, he beckoned to Gegentana and said, "Gegentana, this Ming man gave me a wild goose, I don't know what he added to it, it will be so fragrant after baking, I can give you half of it, come and taste it." ”
In fact, Zhao Yan only found a few thyme, and now it is the flowering period of thyme, which is a spice often used in European cooking, and it is said that some people have begun to use it for flavoring in the Yuan Dynasty, but it seems that the Warat people do not seem to know.
Gegentana means pearl in Mongolian, Temur grew up watching Gegentana and has always treated her as the pearl of his tribe, so the relationship between the two is very good, with Temur's invitation, Gegentana finally did not resist the temptation of food.
After eating and wiping off, Gegentana quietly asked Temur, "Temur, did you see what that Ming man put in the house?" ”
Temur glanced at Zhao Yan like a thief, and said in a low voice: "Gegentana, I saw it, it is a small purple flower that is everywhere in the grassland. ”
