After repelling the 5,000 Zhantu cavalry, Wei Zeng arranged the hundreds of fleeing Zhantu people in a river valley deep in Yishan. There were no people in the valley, except for wild beasts, trees and weeds, and these people of the Tun tribe collected forage every day in addition to grazing, and gathered to go out hunting when they were idle. Of course, they had already received Wei Zeng's warning that they would not dare to go to the vicinity of the village.

Throughout the fall, everyone was busy, preparing for the winter and the coming year. Wei Zeng took some people who were very familiar with farming, and searched around the mountains for land that could be cultivated, and once he found it, he sent people to level the land and build a path to lead there.

"The second master returned again in vain. The people on the border already knew the news of Daddy's appearance, and now they don't let strangers in at all, and the second uncle doesn't dare to risk it and can only come back. The second master will go out again in a few days, and he plans to go farther to see if he can find an opportunity to buy back some useful things. Ye Yuan came to Wei Zeng's side and said.

"It's also difficult for the second senior brother, running around for the future of the village. We have no problem stockpiling food for this winter. But it's better to plan ahead for the coming year. I went back and told the people in the village that we must have enough seeds for spring planting in the coming year, and that we could not eat the grain if we lacked food. When winter comes, there will be nothing to do, so it is time to organize people to go hunting, hoping to have a harvest. Wei Zeng said.

"As long as we work hard, we will get through it. If it doesn't work, we'll exchange some cattle and sheep with those Zhantu. They lack everything, and as long as we come up with some tools, we can get a lot of food back. Ye Yuan said.

"So be it. There are still some days before winter, and I will take people to check around in the depths of this Yi Mountain, and maybe there will be unexpected gains. Disasters caused by nature. As long as we work hard, we will be able to overcome it; What is more sinister than the sinister heart, even if it struggles, it will inevitably fall into it. Wei Zeng said, let Ye Yuan go back to the village to arrange various things, and he took a few people with him. Continue to explore in the depths of Yi Mountain.

The north wind finally blew a snowflake, and the small town of Sanlu in Anyun did not become quiet because of this snow. The tea shed on the edge of the town is now surrounded by soldiers, and An Yunxin's new lord Xian Guzhong personally came to invite Lan Qi out of the mountain.

Han Taozi has been following Lan Qi for more than two months, and Lan Qi has not given her any tricks in the past two months, but just let her learn to make tea. Lan Qi told her that people's mood will be transmitted to the tea in every move, and the taste of tea can know whether a person's heart is at peace or not. Only a peaceful heart. only then can we face good fortune and misfortune without doubt; Only when the mind is not confused, can we perceive a few microscopic things, so as to manipulate them to achieve a small broad. If the mind is disturbed and the interests are indulged, they will lose their autonomy, and in this way, they will only harm others and themselves.

Han Taozi also understands these truths, but she just makes tea all day long. It's just too boring. Inside the room, Lan Qi was talking with Xian Guzhong, and he was in the situation of the world. The head of Lan Qi's analysis is Dao. But Han Taozi's thoughts had already flown to the sky along with the water vapor on the kettle.

"Dad is still lecturing in Suicheng, I don't know how he is doing now after the past few months, will he be thinking about me? How long will I have to make tea before the master will give me his knowledge? Now that I have learned the knowledge of a master, will I really be able to understand without confusion? And the madman Wei Zeng must have also found his wife, and now he must be living happily somewhere. ”

Listening to the sound of the kettle, Han Taozi's thoughts flew back all of a sudden, and he saw boiling water flowing all over the ground. A pot of tea was boiled again.

"The heart still can't be single-minded, you have to be attentive to make good tea." Lan Qi said as she picked up the fan and knocked it on Han Taozi's head.

"Master, aren't you talking to Lord Ken? How did you get out. Didn't you just ruin a pot of tea? I'm boiling a pot, you know, it hurts. Han Taozi rubbed her head and said.

"I've already finished talking with Lord Xian, I'm going to clean up, and we'll go to Heluo City in a few days. Oh, a good pot of tea becomes a pile of sewage, which is a pity. You, you, although you are very smart, but you also have to calm down. Lan Qi said, and the fan in his hand was raised again.

"Master, I know it's wrong, I'll make you another pot of tea, it's hard to hurt your body, you have to be calm. You come in and wait, everything is left to me here. Han Taozi smiled and pushed Lan Qi into the room as she spoke.

Lan Qi shook her head, without too much blame, she had to go into the house and wait for tea.

Han Taozi saw Lan Qi enter the house, and carried the teapot outside to fetch water, planning to boil another pot. As soon as Han Taozi lifted the bucket, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a messenger rode over.

"Is Ken-sama here? I have something important to report. The messenger dismounted.

"Lord Xian is gone, and now he is on his way back to Heluo City. But Xian-sama didn't go long, and you can catch up with it. Han Taozi returned.

"Excuse me. The northern border is urgent, and I must notify Lord Xian immediately, and I can't stay, otherwise I might as well have a hot cup of tea here. The messenger said that he was about to go on horseback.

"What's going on at the northern border, why are you in such a hurry?" Han Taozi asked casually.

"What else? The Zhantu people have made another move, and Wei Zeng, the flying eagle of Mobei, has also reappeared in Yishan, I am afraid that the northern border will not be peaceful. The messenger said casually, and sped away.

"Wei Zeng appeared in Yishan? Then his wife must be there, too. I'd love to check it out. Han Taozi's thoughts flew again, letting the snowflakes fall on her hair and not wiping them.

The snowflakes fell in the bucket and melted away little by little, gradually floating a thin layer of ice slag on top of the bucket.

"Peaches, is the tea ready? If you cook it again, you won't have dinner today. Lan Qi's voice came from the room, pulling Han Taozi's thoughts back from the Nine Heavens.

"What if you don't have anything to eat, let's make tea well. Hey, there is snow, snow water boiled tea, it should be better. Han Taozi came back to his senses, saw that there was snow everywhere, and no longer used well water, filled the kettle with snow, and then went in to make tea.

Maybe it's because the taste of the tea boiled in the first snow is really good, maybe the temptation of eating makes the smart peach finally able to concentrate on making tea, in short, after Lan Qi drank this pot of tea. Finally willing to teach Han Taozi the art of power scheming.

A few days later, the brigade arrived in Sanlu Town, and since then the tea shed at the edge of the village has been empty. The madman who is good at making tea finally spreads his wings and flies high, leaving behind a group of mediocre normal people who sigh on the side.

After hearing the news that Wei Zeng was haunting the northern frontier again, Xian Guzhong did not dare to hesitate. Immediately sent a general to the northern border, intending to wait for an opportunity to capture Wei Zeng. The shadow of the defeat has always shrouded the iron-blooded army, Wei Zeng is not dead, and Xian Gu will not be at peace for a day.

It's just that Wei Zeng, who is far away in Mobei, doesn't know all about An Yun. In order to find food for the people in the village, Wei Zeng is leading people to round up the yellow sheep.

In winter, food is scarce, especially after heavy snowfall, making it difficult to walk in the mountains. If six or seven thousand people want to live, it is definitely not okay to sit and eat empty.

In order to obtain food, Wei Zeng sent people to trade with the Zhantu tribes. After a long time, the two sides also became familiar with each other. Wei Zeng learned from some Zhantu herdsmen that the yellow sheep in the north would go south in flocks every winter, and the Zhantu people used to hunt and kill the yellow sheep as food for winter. When Wei Zeng knew that there were also yellow sheep around Yishan, he had the idea of going out to hunt.

After consideration, Wei Zeng gathered the people in the village and the young men of the Zhantu people together, intending to hunt the yellow sheep. Wei Zeng promised, all the prey obtained. Half will be given to the Zhan Tu who follow.

"Lord Mobei Flying Eagle, I have already found traces of the yellow sheep in front. But the yellow sheep ran fast. Even fast horses can't catch up. Only with the help of the docks in front can we trap them, otherwise we won't be able to catch a few of them. A Zhan Tu said.

"Very good, you tell me the location of the berth, and I will arrange for someone to drive the yellow sheep over. I'm still talking about before, how much prey you get. Half of it will be given to you. Wei Zeng replied.

"Thank you, Lord Mobei Flying Eagle. The berth is two or three miles to the north, but now is not the time to round up, but to take advantage of the night, when the yellow sheep sleeps. Yellow sheep are afraid of fire, as long as we drive them away with torches. You can definitely trap them. The Zhan Tu people replied.

"Just do as you say, and you take me to check it out. Ye Yuan, you are ambushing others on the road, and you must not let go of this group of yellow sheep. Wei Zeng nodded back, and then asked the Zhantu man to take him to explore the yellow sheep.

With a gesture of please, the Zhantu people led Wei Zeng to gallop forward on horseback, came to a small hill, signaled Wei Zeng to dismount, and then led Wei Zeng to climb to the top of the hill.

Wei Zeng crawled on the top of the slope, and then under the cover of wild grass and snow, he quietly looked into the distance. I saw that a few hundred meters ahead, hundreds of yellow sheep were using their hooves to cut the snow, picking up dead branches and grass to chew. Yellow sheepThese yellow sheep are very cautious, and when they eat grass, their heads keep looking around. Running and jumping around, it also looks extraordinarily vigorous.

Wei Zeng and everyone lurked quietly, and the yellow sheep had no idea that danger was coming, so he walked unhurriedly, looking for food along the way.

Night fell, and the north wind blew the land with a cold air. Wei Zeng clenched his hand, which was a little numb from the cold, and asked if the Zhantu people around him could attack.

"These yellow sheep have not completely fallen asleep, and when we attack again in the second half of the night, we will definitely be able to catch these yellow sheep." The Zhan Tu people replied.

Wei Zeng nodded, and led the people to continue to lurk in the snow, waiting for the arrival of the second half of the night.

The yellow sheep stopped in a windy place, and some of the yellow sheep put their heads into their bodies and went to sleep on the ground. But some of the old sheep still watched vigilantly, and the yellow sheep who came to snooze in the middle of the night were still sleeping, and the old sheep raised their legs to spill their urine, and then lay down to prepare for sleep.

The Zhantu people around him signaled that they could attack, and Wei Zeng immediately asked people to light torches and go to round up the yellow sheep. The Zhantu people learned to howl as a wolf and let out a "whine" roar, and then carried torches and rode horses around the yellow sheep.

The yellow sheep was frightened and immediately fled to the north, and the old sheep was always vigilant, and ran out as soon as he was frightened. The sleepy yellow sheep got up suddenly, and then fled in a hurry, climbed a few times, and after only a few meters, he fell to the ground and wailed. It turned out that the violent running broke the urine bubbles, so that these yellow sheep could not take a single step, and became ready-made prey.

Seeing that Wei Zeng had already attacked, the others lit torches one after another, blocked the road where the yellow sheep passed, and drove the yellow sheep in the direction of Bozi.

It was winter, and there was a layer of ice on the podo, but it still couldn't withstand the hard kicking of the yellow sheep, and many yellow sheep fell into the ice and could not come out again. Wei Zeng and his people had already surrounded Bozi and hunted all the yellow sheep that escaped. By the time the day dawned, the hunt was finally over.

"Go over and break through the ice, and fish out all the frozen yellow sheep." Wei Zeng saw that a hunt had ended, and his heart was also happy, and he ordered everyone to get the prey back.

Yellow sheep were piled up on the edge of the moor, and piles of bonfires were set up. The people who endured the cold wind all night chanted Wei Zeng's name and ate the barbecue.

At this time, there is no difference between the Central Plains and the Zhantu people, you can drink my mare's milk wine, I can also eat your corn noodles, of course, the most delicious is the tender yellow mutton. Everyone danced happily around the bonfire, and the Zhantu people, who were afraid of Wei Zeng, were no longer afraid, took Wei Zeng's hand, and took Wei Zeng to dance.

Wei Zeng hadn't laughed like this for a long time, except for the joy after defeating a strong enemy, what could be compared to the current situation? Just rejoicing all the time can bring emptiness and terror; But another kind of laughter can make people break the barrier and make the heart with mustard become extremely smooth.

After some revelry, Wei Zeng lay on the snow, looking at the blue sky in a daze. The snow was cold, but Wei Zeng didn't feel the slightest chill; The wind was cool, but Wei Zeng could hear laughter and singing.

"Dad, you're so happy, I've never seen you so happy." Ye Yuan sat beside Wei Zeng and said with a smile.

"Haha, after drinking some wine, I feel better. With these yellow sheep, we will have no problem surviving this winter, and we will be able to live a little easier in the next few months. Wei Jia said with a smile.

"I'm actually very happy to be able to hunt with my dad. I was also very happy to see my father smiling happily. Ye Yuan said.

"Such a vast grassland is where our father and son gallop, don't worry. We can be more cheerful in the future. Wei Zeng patted Ye Yuan's hand and said.

At this moment, the sound of a wolf howling was heard in the distance. Wei Zeng got up to look, and the distant hillside, on a white background, was all gray and black.

"The wolves are here to smell the blood, and it's a bit of a disappointment. Leaving a dozen yellow sheep behind, everyone went back to Yishan with me. Wei Zeng patted the snow on his body, took the hunters, and left here. (To be continued.) )
