In August, the autumn wind is getting cooler, and the reckless Taihang Mountain is gradually covered with a layer of yellow. The geese in the shape of a human figure fly by from north to south. Fearing the constant stream of arrows from the mountains, the geese flew higher than usual. There are also lonely geese who are out of the group, while crying sadly, while looking for their partners in the high heavens. When it glances down, it will see the flags fluttering on the Taihang Mountain, the stockades standing in the mountains, and the dead who have fallen on the mountain road and are not moving. But the lone goose was not interested in this, and it still flew high in the sky and screamed mournfully.

With a whoosh, a bow shot up into the sky. The arrow shot quickly and urgently, directly hitting the body of the lonely goose. The body of the lone goose staggered and fell from the sky.

"Wow, shot. Ying Xiang, you are amazing. A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy said. The boy was thin, with clear eyebrows, and wore a scholar's robe sewn with patches. He was holding out his thumb and gesturing to a child with a bow and arrow.

The child who was called Ying Xiang was praised by someone, and he was a little proud, wiped the saliva on his mouth, shook the cupola on his head and said, "Brother Huimin, don't talk about these useless things." Go pick up the wild goose. Don't get picked up by anyone else. Uncle Huo can make up for it tonight. ”

The child was about ten years old at most, emaciated, pale, and his eyes were very large and bright. From the fact that his shoulders are half as wide as those of Huimin, you can guess that he is born with divine power. As they spoke, they ran to the place where the geese had fallen.

was really said by Ying Xiang, where the geese fell, there were already several refugees standing. They looked at the geese that had been killed by the arrow, and their eyes were all glowing green.

You must know how many homeless refugees are hiding in Taihang Mountain at this time. If the refugees join the cottage, it's better, at least they can have something to rely on. But the scary thing is the refugees who don't even want a copycat.

As long as the cottage is young and middle-aged, or the family who wants to join the cottage, there must be at least one young man in the family who can carry knives and guns. If all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, the cottage is too lazy to ask for it.

At this time, Qianli Taihang can be described as a mountain peak and a village, and a village and a king. Because the Jin people had already dispatched the Han army from Yanjing, Zhongshan and other places to the south, the atmosphere in the cottages had also become tense. They began to store up food and grass for the battle that was coming.

Even if some cottages have already made up their minds to reduce Zongze or Jinren, they will not give up stockpiling grain and grass. After all, if you want to be taken seriously, no matter which side you surrender, you also need to have some strength.

Because most of the people who occupy the mountain are heroes in Xiangzhou, and the villagers are not too embarrassed to rob. Besides, Xiangzhou has suffered several military disasters, and the people have no food for the next day at home, and there is nothing to rob. Therefore, in order to raise enough food and grass, the cottages began to send out large armies to hunt wild beasts in the mountains.

This is amazing, no matter how many beasts there are in Taihang Mountain, they can't stand the hunting of tens of thousands of righteous soldiers, and soon the large beasts in the mountains are empty, and even the tigers and wolves are gone. It is estimated that they were either beaten to death by the copycat rebels, or fled to other mountains.

The tiger is the king of beasts, but when it comes to hungry and crazy people, the tiger is just a dish that is difficult to manage.

Before hunting in the mountains, refugees scattered in the mountains could at least survive by catching small animals. Now that the beasts are almost extinct, the lives of those refugees who have no cottages to ask for have suddenly become difficult.

The cool autumn breeze blew on the tattered clothes of the refugees, giving them a sense of the winter chill in advance. But they still refused to go out of the mountains and go home. Staying in the mountains, at least there is a chance to live. But if you go out of the mountain and meet the Han'er army of the golden dog, it will be a death.

Don't look at the Han army of the Golden Dog, which is mostly composed of Han people from the Bohai State and the Liao State, and it is almost more ruthless than the Golden Dog when it comes to dealing with the people of the Central Plains. This is the characteristic of the traitor army of all dynasties, and they will do almost anything to win the favor of their new masters.

For these refugees who are homeless and have nowhere to turn to, although the wild animals in the mountains are extinct, there are still many birds that have migrated southward in the sky. As long as your eyes are sharp enough, you can always catch one or two geese and geese that come down to rest every day.

Ying Xiang rushed to the wild goose a few steps first, bent down to pick it up, and then said to the few refugees around the wild goose, "Uncle and aunt, this is the wild goose I shot down, it should belong to me." ”

Huimin also said at this time, "Yes." It was shot down by my cousin, but it's not ownerless. Uncles and aunts, let's disperse. We also urgently need this goose to save people. ”

A total of six refugees gathered around the wild geese, four men and two women. The four men are all old men, and the two women are eleven or twelve-year-old girls. The reason why they didn't dare to pick up the wild goose just now was because the wild goose had an iron arrow stuck in it. They are worried that it was shot down by someone in the cottage, and if they pick it up, there may be unforeseen disasters. At this time, I saw that it was two little children who shot down, and then I saw that the little children were also wearing tattered clothes, and I immediately understood that they were also refugees in the mountains. Although the bow hanging from the waist of the little boy with a cupola looks like an iron tire, it seems to be a bit of a source. But these old men were already hungry and dizzy, and they were no longer polite.

An old man with a white beard rolled his eyes and said loudly, "Whoever sees what falls from the world will naturally belong to whoever sees it first." Whose child are you, you are so arrogant, give me the wild goose to my old man. Or don't blame me for spanking. ”

After saying this, he stretched out his hand to snatch the wild goose in Ying Xiang's hand. was pushed by Ying Xiang's hand, and suddenly fell out of a few steps. The other old man didn't see the situation clearly, and grabbed Ying Xiang's sky-high bun from behind, ready to lift the child. Unexpectedly, Ying Xiang's figure was extremely flexible, and as soon as his hair was grabbed, he leaned back and punched the old man in the stomach, and the old man suddenly covered his stomach and rolled to the ground.

The other two old men saw that Ying Xiang was so powerful, and they no longer dared to act rashly. They didn't know that this doll was born with divine powers, and the ability to fight was like innate, although he was only nine years old, the average scoundrel idler was no longer his opponent. Huimin said proudly beside him, "You old and disrespectful things dare to come and rob my cousin's things." Don't you know that my cousin killed a tiger with his bare hands? ”

When the four old men heard that the little doll in front of them was so powerful, the desire to snatch it immediately disappeared, and they ran away without a trace. Ying Xiang's hand was not heavy, and the two knocked down old men ran up, and the speed was not slow at all.

Ying Xiang asked a little puzzled, "Brother Huimin, why don't I know when I killed a tiger?" ”

Huimin smiled, "I'll scare them." Otherwise, you will have to entangle with them. ”

The two men took the wild goose, turned around and left. Two eleven or twelve-year-old girls followed them like shadows. After walking for a while, Ying Xiang felt that something was wrong. He originally thought that these two female babies were on the way with him, but he and Huimin turned three corners, and the two female babies still followed him. It seems that they also want this wild goose.

Ying Xiang quietly touched his cousin. Huimin understood, immediately turned around, hugged his fists at the two little girls, and said with a smile, "Two young ladies, I don't know what you want to do with our cousins all the time?" ”

The two little girls looked timidly at the people, but did not speak.

Ying Xiang hurriedly said, "Alas, cousin, what kind of text are you dragging with the two little girls?" People don't understand. Speaking of this, Ying Xiang asked directly, "Hey, what are you doing with me?" I'm going home. I can't give you this wild goose, my Uncle Huo urgently needs this wild goose to take care of his body. And my grandmother and my aunt have to eat this wild goose. ”

The two little girls looked at each other, and suddenly fell to their knees with a thud. A little girl who looked a little clever cried and said, "Little brother, my mother is sick, lying in the cave, she has not eaten for three days, and she is about to starve to death. Please have mercy on my mother. We're telling you the truth, my house is not far away, you can come with us to see it. By the way, I also have an iron-tired bow at home, which my dad left behind. We can trade that bow for this wild goose. ”

Ying Xiang and Huimin were the first time they met others kneeling down to them, and they were immediately in a hurry, and hurriedly helped the two little girls up. Ying Xiang said excitedly, "Cousin, since that's the case, it's better to change the big bow." The bow my dad left behind was so heavy that I could only pull it a few times. Maybe their bows would be a little lighter. ”

Huimin hesitated, "Ying Xiang, but we also need this wild goose." ”

Ying Xiang smiled, "As long as you give me a suitable bow, I can definitely shoot another wild goose before the sun sets." ”

The two little girls led the way, and led the two little boys around a few corners to a hidden hole in the valley. Soon Ying Xiang walked out of the cave triumphantly with a bow on his back and another bow in his hand.

The people reluctantly followed. While saying, "I said Yingxiang, you kid can't move when he sees a weapon." It's like my uncle. Anyway, I can't pull this bow and arrow, and I'll leave the matter of catching geese to you. ”

Ying Xiang said loudly, "No problem. ”

The sun set, the bright moon rose, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the two teenagers beside the mountain stream. Two teenagers are cautiously fishing in the stream. A tall boy complained, "Ying Xiang, I told you a long time ago not to give the wild geese to those sisters." You have to give, now it's okay, I haven't seen you shoot a bird feather in the afternoon. Maybe my mom was in a hurry, thinking we were eaten by wolves. According to me, let's stop fishing and go back quickly. Anyway, we're used to being hungry. ”

Ying Xiang said impatiently, "Brother Huimin, your mouth is really broken. Otherwise, you go back first, let my grandma and Uncle Huo not worry, I'll touch two big fish and then go back." ”

Huimin smiled, "The fish in this stream have already been touched by others, where are there still big fish waiting for you to touch." To fish here, it is better to go to the forest to catch pheasants (frogs). Anyway, the field chicken hasn't been hidden yet. After a while, when the weather is cold, the field chickens will burrow into the ground, and then we will have no choice. ”

Ying Xiang's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Yes, field chickens can also be eaten, as long as you touch a dozen of them, you can still go back to fill your stomach." Brother Huimin is worthy of being a showman, and his brain is really smart. ”

So in the uncertain forest, the two teenagers began to bend down, listening to the sound of frogs everywhere and catching pheasants. Ying Xiang's ears and eyes are sensitive, his hands and feet are fast, and in less than half an hour, the two of them caught more than a dozen field chickens and strung them with willow branches.

Ying Xiang teased his cousin while stringing field chickens, "Brother Huimin, when it comes to catching field chickens, your poetry brother is useless." It took half a day to catch one. ”

Huimin smiled and said, "Ying Xiang, you don't understand this. Just because I'm a showman, I can't do such an insulting thing. ”

The two laughed as they walked down the mountain path back to their cave. They made a dozen turns in a row until they reached the deepest part of a valley. But in the depths of the valley there were no caves, no houses, only a high cliff covered with vines. Ying Xiang pursed his lips and shouted three times, and a rope suddenly slipped down the waist of the valley.

The Huimin went first, tied the rope around his waist, and then tugged hard, the rope immediately collapsed, and then slowly lifted the Huimin up. After a while, the rope slipped down again.

This Ying Xiang did not tie the rope around his waist, but grabbed the rope with both hands, did not touch the cliff with his feet, and climbed up like a fly with the strength of his hands. When you climb to a height of more than four feet above the ground, you can see a very inconspicuous cave, the entrance of which is covered by vines. Ying Xiang pulled out the vines, went into the cave, put the rope up, and then looked at the movement of the valley below, and saw that there was no abnormality, so he was relieved.

At this time, I only heard a sick voice say, "Ying Xiang, you are back." Hehe, the kid is good, he actually came back with more than a dozen field chickens. Roast field chicken to eat tonight. ”

By the light that had just been lit in the cave, you could see a big man holding a rope in his hand, looking at Ying Xiang with a smile. This big man has broad shoulders and a round waist, if it weren't for the fact that his yellow face affected his might, he would indeed be a fierce man.

Ying Xiang called Uncle Huo with a smile. Then he quietly asked, "My grandma isn't angry yet, is she?" Uncle Huo. ”

Uncle Huo asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" Said yes, I'll come back after dark. As a result, the two of you didn't come back until midnight, do you think your grandma will be angry? ”

Ying Xiang stuck out his tongue and hurriedly ran into the cave.
