Chapter 297: Arriving at Yin Mountain
Although the reindeer are small, their endurance and speed are not much weaker than that of cattle and horses.
They are an ancient race and have a close relationship with humans.
As early as more than two million years ago, in the late Pleistocene, which will be called the Pleistocene, humans mainly relied on preying on reindeer for nutrition, and even sustained them for thousands of years.
Therefore, the ancestors always regarded the deer as a holy mascot and there are many myths and legends about them.
For example, the mount of the birthday star Antarctic fairy, such as Santa Claus's coolie.
In fact, the reindeer is not a deer domesticated by humans, but refers to the wild horned deer in the far north.
Perhaps the most striking move of the reindeer is the annual migration of hundreds of kilometres, leaving the forests and grasslands of the subarctic regions where they spend their winters and heading north along a route that has remained unchanged for centuries.
The stag takes the lead, and the stag follows, in an orderly manner, driving straight in, eating while walking, day and night, taking off thick winter clothes along the way, giving birth to a new thin summer coat, and the fluff that falls on the ground, just forming a road signpost.
Year after year, I don't know how many centuries have passed.
The reindeer always move at a constant speed, and only when they are disturbed by wolves or chased by hunters, they will come and run violently, making earth-shattering loud noises, raising dust from the sky, breaking the tranquility of the grassland, and starting a competition for life on the otherwise silent northern pole.
They are not slow, even cubs, after a week of birth, can run as fast as their parents, up to 80 miles per hour!
Because of this, Yang Shuang arrived in the Yinshan area much earlier than Anu expected.
"Hoo ·····"
With a deep breath of turbidity in his chest, Yang Shuang turned over and jumped off the sled, stepping on the shallow snow without soles, and looked into the distance, "I'm back!" ”
Although he had not yet arrived in the Central Plains, he and the soldiers of Longxi had already found the feeling of going home.
In the distance, there is the majestic Great Wall!
"Back to the Grand Governor, the front should be Dingxiang County! It's just that in the past hundred years, the steppe tribes have been powerful and occupied again for a long time, and the Turkic Great Khan has built Dali City and hoarded some marginal tribes here. Now that the Great Sui is counterattacking in the north, the main force of Shabelio has returned to Yanran due to the blizzard, and now Dali City has been owned by the Great Sui. ”
"Oh? Outside the Great Wall, there is a city? ”
"Yes! It's not big, it's all rammed earth, but it's quite large."
"Let's go, let's see!"
Yang Shuang took off the dragon knife and wolf totem dragged by the reindeer, tied these two things rudely behind his back with cow tendons, and inadvertently glanced at the back, and found that two girls were also ready to follow, and immediately said again, "Anu, you brothers go with me, and the others stay put!" ”
"Uncle Wang!" Yang Awu was a little unhappy.
"It's an order!"
The Central Plains is not a grassland!
On the prairie, the enemy is in the open, and a single fire can burn hundreds to death.
But in the Central Plains, the enemies who want to kill the soul are all in the shadows, from the time he crossed over to the present, he has been killing for several years, and he specially caught a Li Wuyi who is not a local.
Thief chicken fuck!
"Phew!"
Thinking of the past, Yang Shuang was very unhappy in his heart, spit out the snow in his mouth, and walked straight to the city gate.
According to his thoughts, now this dress, with a shiny bald head, coupled with the fame of the Western Regions Horse Thief King, if he wants to enter the city, he will soon be recognized.
When the time comes, contact the vanguard of the Sui army first, and then notify the marching commander, thinking that he will soon be greeted and entered the customs.
Don't forget, the official position of the governor of the Western Regions is not low in the Great Sui system, and the military generals are from the third grade, which can be called a national-level boss-like existence.
However, when Yang Shuang took Anu and the others to Dali City, he was a little at a loss.
Outside the city gate, where the snow has not yet cleared, the crowd is bustling, cattle, sheep, mules and horses are in groups, and the Sui army is not visible at all in the various dresses.
