Chang'an went east, on the official road to Tongguan, three fast horses galloped quickly, and a piece of dust was raised behind the horses' hooves. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, three long figures were pulled out. Among the three, two of them wore scarfs on their heads, wore armor, wore treasure boots on their feet, and wore treasure swords at their waists, and their bodies were very strong. There is also a person, dressed in palace clothes, the figure is on par with the other two, holding an object, which is about three feet long, and is covered with a bright yellow silk cloth. These three people are Gao Lishi and his entourage, who were ordered to go to Tongguan, escorted Changqing into the Beijing Saint, and rewarded Li Mi by the way. At this time, it was almost unitary, and the people were sleepy and tired, and their feet slowed down.

"Awn, we seem to have to walk at night." One of the guards caught up with Gao Lishi, who was walking in front, "Before the time came, we had already passed the Tongguan Station." There's nowhere to stop. ”

Colliers sat on his horse and turned his head to look around. Finding that this place is surrounded by mountains and uninhabited, "it doesn't matter, let's find a secluded place and light a bonfire." You and other military personnel must not be embarrassed."

"Ah Weng, this place is full of high mountains and dense forests, and there are many tigers, leopards and jackals." The other man also caught up with him, and when he saw that Gao Lishi wanted to stop in the mountains, he hurriedly stopped him.

"The horse is now weak, and his feet are not as good as before, and I will not be able to turn around and turn back. It's even more inappropriate to travel at night. Do you have any other plans than to stay overnight in the mountains? "Gao Lishi is also helpless, who let himself be greedy and walk a little longer" As for the beasts in the mountains, the beasts are afraid of fire, and we will wait for more bonfires. ”

When the two guards heard this, they also nodded helplessly, this is indeed the safest way.

The three of them agreed on the same opinion, so they turned their horses' heads, left the official road, and went to the fork in the mountain. I don't know how long they walked, but the three of them got farther and farther away from the official road, and the sky was already dark at this time. The three of them lit two torches and walked forward in unison, looking for a flat place to set up camp.

"Ah Weng, there is a dense forest ahead, don't go forward. It was immediately encamped here. One of the guards advised.

"That's it, you two tie up your horses. Find more dead branches and burn more bonfires. lest the beasts of the mountains come and harass them. Gao Xianzhi was also exhausted at this time, found a flat place, and sat on the ground. He tied his horse to a cypress tree, left a torch for Colliers, and the two went in search of a dead branch. To say that in this dense forest, the most indispensable thing is dead branches and rotten leaves, and the two of them collected a lot of them in a short time. The two of them divided the dead branches in four places, and distributed them in a zigzag shape in three places, surrounded people and horses in the middle, and placed a bonfire in the middle to make food and keep warm.

Bonfires lit everywhere, and the three of them finally relaxed. Colliers leaned the sword in his arms against a large tree, removed the package from his back, and sat down, "Fetch some dry food to eat." In this wilderness, make do with it. It's all to blame Gao, just worrying about the road, so that the two of you will suffer with Gao. ”

"Ah Weng, don't say that, the responsibility of the villain is to protect your thoughtfulness, what is it to endure some hardships. Besides, we've got meat to eat tonight. The two guards grinned and pulled out two things from their baggage. When he looked closely, it turned out to be two hares, and Gao Lishi instantly came to the spirit, "When did you hunt it?" ”

"When we were looking for something that started the fire, the two of us accidentally found a rabbit's nest, so we caught two of them, and the rest ran away." The short knives in the hands of the two flew over, bled out, skinned, and cleaned up. A moment later, the two cleaned rabbits were put on the fire.

The flames flew and scorched the rabbit meat on the shelf, and the fat dripping from the rabbit meat squeaked under the scorching flames, exuding an enticing aroma. The three of them were so hungry that they had already eaten some dry food, and they were ready to eat when the rabbit meat was cooked. The dry food was down, and the hunger in the stomach was a little less, and the three of them sat around the fire and took a nap. In the distance, in the dark forest, a few pairs of green eyes appeared, and then the eyes gathered more and more, and slowly gathered towards the bonfire. The smell of meat emanating from the bonfire teased the three of them, and also teased the beasts in the night.

"Pop" There was a sound of dry wood popping in the campfire. The three of them woke up instantly, and Gao Lishi raised his eyelids with great difficulty, and looked at the two of them, "Look at the meat spots, don't burn them." After it is burned, it is called a certain sound. So-and-so was sleeping for a while. "After three days of travel, Colliers was really tired.

"Wong, don't sleep. A brute came near. The two guards hurriedly reminded Gao Lishi, his voice trembling, and there was fear in his voice.

Gao Lishi heard the fear in his voice, looked up and looked around, and instantly came to his senses, "Mom, what the hell." ”

I saw that the dense forest was densely covered with green eyes. When the beast in the mountain saw that the humans had discovered it, they simply did not hide it, and let out a low roar. After the roar, the beast slowly gathered towards the fire, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller. A beast stepped forward behind a fire on the periphery, and a beast loomed in the light of the red flames. When you look closely, you can see that the beast has a long pointed jaw, a wide and curved mouth, erect ears that are not bent, a slightly narrow thorax, and a straight tail that hangs between its hind legs.

"It's a wolf!" One of the guards saw the beast's appearance and exclaimed. The sudden cry startled the brute, and he ran away in an instant.

Colliers did not have a sword, and asked for a short knife from one of the guards. The three of them stood in a zigzag shape with torches in one hand and weapons in the other, leaning against each other.

"This beast lives in a pack, and if the tiger or leopard sees the wolves, it will also take a detour. Remember not to act rashly. We can only confront them at this point. One of the guards alerted.

The three of them confronted the wolves across the fire. The fire did work at this point. Under the light of the fire, the wolves did not dare to leap half a step, and bared their teeth and roared around the fire. There was an impatient wolf who tried to break through and jumped over the fire, and the flames burned his fur. The wolf let out a miserable howl and ran deep into the forest. There is a lesson from the past, the wolves dare not take half a step forward, and the confrontation continues.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, the wolves are waiting. It's as if they know that the fire will always burn out. The three of them were also waiting, they really didn't know how to break through the encirclement of the wolves, and they didn't know what to do better, so they could only wait.

As the minutes ticked by, the flames of the three bonfires around the periphery became smaller and smaller. The three of them were about to collapse, and if the fire was extinguished, the time of their death would come.

"Rabbit meat!" Colliers' head suddenly flashed, "I'll cut the rabbit meat and divide it into small pieces to lure them away." You add to the fire. ”

The three of them came to their senses in an instant, Gao Lishi held a short knife in his hand, and the two rabbit meat were divided into several small pieces. The two guards quickly pulled the fallen leaf sprigs beside them.

Relying on a few pieces of rabbit meat, the three of them kept adding firewood to the fire, and they lasted for two hours. After all, the deciduous twigs can't withstand the thick branches, and the sticks are resistant to burning. Two hours later, there were no fallen leaves and dead branches around the three of them, and the rabbit meat had already been thrown away.

"Not really, and horses." Colliers gritted his teeth.

"Ah Weng, there are still 100 miles to Tongguan. How can you do it without horses? One of the guards immediately refused.

"My life is gone, what do you want the horse to do? Will your dead soul ride home? "Colliers is really anxious.

"One is not enough, Gao gave these beasts two. Two is not enough, three are enough. "Even if the three horses can't feed this herd, we have to buy time." If you drag it out, there will always be a turnaround. ”

Half an hour later, one of the three fires on the periphery was finally gone, and only the red-hot ashes remained. Colliers shouted, and one of the guards fell with a knife and cut the reins of a horse. The horses were already frightened by the scene at this time, and kept snorting and neighing, and the horses' hooves stomped, trying to escape. As soon as the reins were loosened, the horses were unrestrained. With a hiss, the hooves flew and rushed towards the encirclement of the wolves.

It is worthy of being a war horse in the army, after the war horse rushed left and right a few times, it broke through the encirclement of the wolves, and there were a few more bite marks on the horse's body. The flight of the war horse and the blood of the war horse instantly stimulated the impatient wolves who had been waiting for a long time. The head wolf roared, and a dozen wild wolves broke away from the wolf pack and chased the horses away.

"How many brutes are there?" Seeing that the war horse had successfully lured away more than a dozen wild wolves, Gao Lishi once again saw the hope of escaping.

"There are about two dozen of them." The guard said after a rough look at the green eyes around him.

"One more horse." Colliers gritted his teeth. Sure enough, the war horse that loosened the reins and fled attracted more than a dozen wild wolves to leave the pack.

"And a few more." Colliers asked again.

"Ah Weng, there are eight or nine, no more than ten." Seeing that this method worked, the guards were visibly excited, and answered loudly.

"Remember, take the good things now, and throw the useless ones here. After the last horse had led the wolves away, I ran for my life. The farther you go down the official road, the better. Colliers held the sword in his arms, carried the burden on his shoulders, and said loudly.

The two guards responded in unison.

"Let go of the horse" Gao Lishi gave the order, and the war horse galloped away again, causing the remaining seven or eight wild wolves to chase the war horse and run away. When the three of them saw this scene, they ran away.

In the darkness of the night, the three of them stumbled with torches in hand. I don't know how long I ran or where I went. The three of them only vaguely remembered the way they came up the mountain, but they ran the wrong way unconsciously and under the influence of the night. When the three of them were panicking, a wolf howl sounded nearby.

Colliers wailed, "It's over!" ”

Is Colliers dead? Dead no! Dead no! Want to know! Want to know! Save it, brothers! At this time, it is 1:58 in the morning, and it is really not easy to write a book! Thank you for your support! Thank you!
