Chapter Seventy-Two: Upset
The breeze was blowing through the hills, the leaves rustled, the sky was about to drop rain, the woods around the waterhole were full of figures, shouting trumpets to lift the wooden rafts together, and there were people tying ropes in the trees, and before long, the simple roof hanging from the trees was completed, and there were many more figures doing such things around, and the women were in charge of tying up the woods, and then letting the men carry them away and build them, and everything seemed to be orderly and busy, and not far from the edge of the waterhole, a few bonfires were rising, and the cauldron was boiling with fragrant broth, A little farther away, a few slaughtered cattle and sheep were set on the flames, and the grease sizzled with a tempting smell to swallow.
After a night of thinking, some people left to go to nearby towns to beg for work, and some went back to look for relatives, and those who were able to stay in the end were only eight or nine hundred, and such a number of people actually seriously exceeded the living supply of the White Wolf Plain.
"The chief acted on his will, and it became too difficult for so many people to feed." Cao Chun sat upright on the stone, pinching the bracket with one hand and flipping the roasted whole sheep, "...... If you want to save people later, you can only sit outside. ”
"What's wrong with being angry?"
Next to him, on another stone, Gao Sheng threw the selected internal organs into a basin, shook off the blood stains on his hands, and tore his voice: "...... When you get to the grassland, you are complacent, if you are not tough, others will bully you, and you are also counted in our White Wolf Plain, and you still look serious......"
Flipping the figure of the whole sheep glanced over, and then turned back: "Pure young is good at learning, at the age of eighteen years old, the official worships the Yellow Gate squire, now to change, it is too difficult." ”
"Want to change? That's easy, see the woman over there? In the past, I carried one and took it to a place with few people......"
Cao Chun glanced at the figures of several busy women on the other side of the waterhole, and shook his head: "How is this different from Xianbei people?" Those who are miserable should not be bullied again. ”
"Bullying?" Gao Sheng wiped the corners of his mouth and laughed: "You naturally don't understand it when you grew up in the Central Plains, now as long as you carry away a woman and do a good deed, you can't kick it if you want to kick it in the future, this is to give others hope, you know?" It doesn't help to read so many books. ”
Behind Cao Chun, who fell into silence, Gerald from a foreign country came over with a bundle of dry firewood, and when he heard the conversation between the two here, he obviously didn't understand, so he naturally couldn't interject, and returned to the position divided by himself, hundreds of people surrounded the fire, he threw the firewood aside and sat cross-legged next to the blonde woman, "Stephanie, the future of going to the Eastern Empire is difficult, and language is the most difficult thing on our way." ”
The bonfire burned, and the woman threw in a piece of firewood, "We need to learn their language, otherwise even if we meet His Majesty the Emperor of the East, we will not be able to convey our intentions, do you mean this?" My brother. ”
"Yes." The burly man stroked the giant sword and sighed: "Perhaps, let's learn a little of the Oriental language first, and then we are ready to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire, but who to learn from, do you have an idea?" ”
Stephanie blinked, crossed the jumping flames, looked into the distance, and stayed on a shadow walking to the wolf's den with a clay bowl, and her voice was flat and slow: "Yes, she has the temperament of a poet...... It should be nice to get along with. ”
As he spoke, the figure had already walked into the wolf's den, the cave was damp, Cai Yan walked carefully, the steaming meat porridge in his hand was just boiled, probably wanted to send it over by his own hands, walked to the door of the cave, and blew it, only to find that there was no figure on the stone couch after stepping in.
Cai Yan put the porridge on the stone table, hurriedly turned back to the cave, and whispered to the guard's personal guard wolf horseman: "Your leader...... Where is he? ”
"The big leader got up and went to the three leaders......" The wolf rider naturally knew the relationship between the woman in front of him and the big leader, so he answered truthfully.
The girl thanked her, Lianbu walked slowly, her fingers twisted the corner of her leather jacket, walked through the hall of the cave, and went to the other side, the cave was not long, and the voice of Gongsun Zhi came intermittently from the end, like talking to someone, and then Dongfang Sheng's voice also sounded.
“…… The leader took revenge like this, although he killed a step...... But as far as the people know, there is still Kebineng in the east, this person has outstanding ability, and he started from the end of the micro, and once Budugen dies, his tribe will sooner or later fall into the hands of Kebineng...... In the end, our days may be even more difficult than they are now......"
"You have to live on your sadness...... The grassland is so big, people have to move if they want to live, even if I don't kill Budugen, he will find me and wait for trouble in the future. ”
The girl walked over gently, and the pony thief Li Ke stood up and wanted to go in to report, but she waved her hand and refused.
WhewW......
Occasionally, the wind blew in from the cave, and the torch light in the cave rocks swayed, and in the stone room, in addition to Dongfang Sheng, who was recuperating from his injuries, there was a figure with a long beard on the left standing next to him, and Gongsun Zhi, who was dressed in a big hat, sat on the stone bench in front of him, patting the back of his hand on the bed: "...... As for Kebineng, I have nothing to do with him at the moment, and it will take time to embezzle the tribes and herdsmen left behind by Budugen, even if they notice us in the future, it will be a big deal to kill another Shan Yu! ”
"Chief, that's not what you say......" On the couch, the scholar shook his head, his lips weakly opened slightly: "With the experience of Budugen, I will definitely guard against... I heard that the leader was the son of General Gongsun of Beiping...... It's really not good, the leader might as well take everyone to Youbeiping...... When the wings are full in the coming day, gallop on the grassland. ”
The left-handedness who was standing next to him hurriedly stepped forward, arched his hand, pulled his hair in a bun, and shouted: "Three leaders, you are far away, the leader of Gongsun and my general Zhang have negotiated a lot of things, if you change the hexagram halfway, my family will have no horses to ride." ”
Dongfang Sheng looked at the big leader over there, and the other party's gaze also looked over, Gongsun Zhi nodded: "I went to the Central Plains last year and met with Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army, and the other party wanted war horses, cattle and sheep, and exchanged weapons and armor, and I also came down, and there are some things that I also need their help to do." ”
"What ......?"
"Put boots on the horse...... There is also equipment for heavy riding. Gongsun Zhi's eyes were serious, speaking of which, he saw that Dongfang Sheng was already a little tired, sighed, and covered the blanket for him, "You take care of your injuries, I should make a decision in this matter, even if it is really not good to turn around, it is not too late to go to Beiping again." ”
"Not ......"
The scholar struggled to sit up, grabbed the corner of the other party's clothes, and said in a rapid tone: "I am worried about the name of the leader, and the name of General Baima is naturally like thunder in the ears of the Han people, but Xianbei and Wuhuan want to kill them quickly, and when the time comes, Kebi can go west, and the leader has to plan early." ”
The figure who stood up frowned, he was naturally not as far as Dongfang Sheng thought, as a modern person, even if he lived here for two years, there were still some things to learn from the ancients. But at this time, he couldn't say discouraged words in front of everyone.
"Don't worry, Ke is small enough to go west, he really wants to come......" Gongsun stopped waving his hand violently, turned around and walked backwards: "The wolf is not a lamb to be slaughtered, bite him a piece of meat down, and it will hurt him to death." The tone was categorical.
The girl standing at the door hurriedly leaned to the wall of the cave, watched the man stride over, put his arm around her thin shoulder, shrank in shock, and was forcibly taken here. Back in the bedroom on the other side, Cai Yan whispered, "I... I'll come and bring you porridge...... I didn't hear anything just now. ”
Then, she was pressed to sit on the stone bench, in the cave with a dim fire, the girl looked a little at a loss, and when the opposite figure also sat down, Cai Yan hurriedly took the meat porridge on the stone table, "It's not cold yet... Eat quickly, you've been sleeping for two days, and you're going to be hungry. ”
Gongsun Zhi seemed to be thinking about things, took the pottery bowl and scooped it into his mouth, and when he chewed, he also scooped a spoonful and handed it over, "You can eat some too." ”
"I'm not hungry... No... It's been eaten... uh..."
The big hand reached over and pinched the red lips that were talking, and the wooden spoon suddenly reached in, Cai Yan looked at this arrogant man with round eyes, and when the wooden spoon was taken out, she choked and coughed.
"It's not like you to take the initiative to be courteous like this, you don't have to do it next time, just say something if you have something." Gongsun Zhi drank the meat porridge with a snort, leaving only an empty bowl, got up and went outside, probably because there were still many things to be busy.
The girl with a red face bit her lower lip, and her eyes were a little wet and looked at the back of the leaving.
"It's rare to care about you......"
Outside, the eunuch quietly came in and sighed: "Madam... Master, this is something on his mind. ”
"I know." Cai Yan took a breath, wiped off the wet marks, pillowed his elbows on the table, and shook his head......
“…… I heard it, but how can I help him......"
