Chapter 16: Conquering "Huang Taiji"
After Ziren and his entourage set off from Lushunkou, they got up every day, and only found a post station to rest when they were united, and traveled more than 70 miles a day, and even lunch was solved with dry food on the road. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAt the beginning, everyone was still talking and laughing, and they also went to find the happiness of Ding Bi and Ding Shoutie from time to time. However, on the third day, Youcai was already exhausted due to his neglect of exercise on weekdays, and he complained of misery.
Ziren was afraid that it would be too hard, and the weather in December in Liaodong was quite cold, and it was easy to catch the wind chill if he was too tired. In addition, the area where the Mongol cavalry was infested was getting closer and closer, in order to prevent the physical exertion of the people, they were unable to deal with the enemy. I decided to slow down and rest for an extra hour at noon every day to help everyone recover.
One day, passing through the boundary of Gaizhou (now Yingkou City), and did not find the post station at noon, Ziren saw that everyone was working hard in the morning, so he found a leeward place to rest for a while. It happened that a goat was beaten with a bird gun in the morning, which could be roasted to replenish everyone's physical strength. It is also strange that this sheep not only has a lot of meat, but also the quality of the wool is good, Ziren specially peeled off the sheepskin and put it away, preparing to make a leather jacket for Youcai in the future.
While everyone was busy roasting the mutton, they heard the roar of an animal in the grass in the distance. Ziren thought that he had encountered a fierce beast, and immediately ordered everyone to be on guard. may have waited for a long time and didn't see any movement, so he took Ding Bi and the two went over to check together.
When he got closer, he found that it was a yellow wolfdog that had fallen into the trap of the beast and was trapped in it and could not escape. I think it was because the weather was cold and I came out to forage for food, and I accidentally fell into the trap of the hunter, and I don't know how long I was trapped here, hungry and cold. Just in time for Ziren and his entourage to roast mutton, the wolf dog has a keen sense of smell and smells the aroma of meat, so he roars.
Ziren likes dogs on weekdays, but unfortunately the two younger brothers in the family are young and dare not raise this fierce dog, for fear that it will hurt the two little ones with a wild nature. Seeing this wolf dog quite pitiful today, I couldn't help but feel the intention of rescuing in my heart.
Hurriedly instructed Youcai, who was roasting meat, to take two pieces of roasted mutton. The wolf dog has some wolf blood, in order to avoid its wolf suspicion, Ziren specially ate a bite in front of him, and then threw a piece of mutton into the pit. When the wolf dog saw this, he no longer doubted it, and immediately the wolf vomited, and it seemed that he had been hungry for a long time.
Seeing this, Ziren ordered Ding Bi and Youcai to return first. He continued to stay aside to observe, Ding Bi was worried about his safety and refused to leave without permission. When you are rich, you know your young master's ability to train dogs. And he took him back with him, and roasted the mutton with the people.
Not long after the two left, the wolfhound had wiped out all the mutton. It seemed that he had not eaten enough, and raised his head from time to time to look out of the pit, and at the same time let out a mournful sound of "woo-woo-". Seeing this, Ziren took the remaining mutton and slowly climbed into the pit. Fortunately, this pit is used to catch bears, tigers, and other large animals, and the internal space is quite large, and it is not crowded for a person and a dog to live in it.
When the wolfdog saw someone coming down, he immediately began to feel uneasy. Run to the side and lean your right side against the pit wall. Protect your weaknesses, face the person on the left side, and keep saying "Wow... Woo...". At the same time, his eyes were fixed on the mutton in Ziren's hand.
Seeing this, Ziren immediately lowered his body and lay on the ground, in order to make his height look lower than that of the wolf dog and reduce the feeling of oppression he was subjected to. This dog is not yet an adult, and the shoulder height is about one foot, so Ziren almost has to lie on all fours, which is very hard.
After lying on his stomach for a while, the wolf dog gradually began to relax his vigilance and slowly approached Ziren. Ziren noticed the change in the wolf dog and gradually got up. And tear the lamb in his hand into small pieces and throw it in front of him. Seeing this, the wolf dog immediately lowered his head and swallowed the mutton in his mouth, and before he could swallow it completely, he raised his head to look at Ziren again.
When Ziren saw it, he kept throwing small pieces of mutton in front of it. At the same time, he took the opportunity to throw meat to gradually lead the wolf dog to his side. The wolf dog only cared about eating meat at this time, and was not guarded, and gradually the distance between the ions and the kernel was less than an arm's length. At this time, Ziren threw the remaining mutton in front of him. When the wolfdog saw it, he immediately stepped forward and swallowed it. Taking advantage of the opportunity for the wolf dog to bow his head and eat meat, Ziren stretched out his arm and stroked the wolf dog's back. The wolfhound's attention is on the meat and is not stopped.
In a short time, the wolfdog had already eaten all the mutton. Ziren is no longer repulsed, lying on the ground and exposing his belly, enjoying Ziren's caressing. Taking this opportunity, Ziren took a closer look and found that this was a male dog weighing around 30 catties. The coat color and body shape are not bad, but I haven't eaten for many days, and I look a little thin, and I am estimated to be less than a year old.
Seeing that the wolf dog had been subdued, Ziren climbed out of the pit with him in his arms, and left a tael of silver in the pit when he left. It was not easy to come to Orion, so he took the prey of others and left some silver as compensation.
In addition to having wealth, several other people saw that Ziren had not returned for a long time and were worried about what had happened. After seeing Ziren return with the wolf dog, he was relieved. At this time, Youcai, who had been calm for a long time on the side, hurriedly got up, handed Ziren a piece of roasted mutton, turned around and said to everyone: "What did I say to you just now!" Our young master has three major skills, the first is to build firearms, the second is to read, and the third is to raise dogs, you believe it now. The dog that can hurt my young master hasn't been raised yet! Master, you're right, no. After saying that, he smiled smugly.
Ding Shoutie likes to fight with wealth the most on weekdays, and when he saw this situation, he immediately answered: "That's not right! I think the young master's greatest ability is to be discerning and wise, and it doesn't matter if he chooses us people, he also chooses a good servant like you who can make sycophants. Isn't that right? After that, he looked at everyone with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, everyone rose up in response to Shoutie, and for a while the laughter was endless. It was very embarrassing to get rich, and hurriedly said to Ziren: "The young master has iron, he dares to laugh at me, let the dog bite him." By the way, does this dog have a name? If not, just call him Shoutie, right--little Shoutie. With that, he reached out and tried to pet the wolfhound.
The wolf dog was a little nervous when he saw everyone, and then everyone laughed loudly, startled him for a while, and snuggled up to Ziren's lap all the time. Seeing Youcai approaching, he hurriedly retreated, and at the same time let out a disturbed cry from his mouth.
Ziren was afraid that his wildness would hurt Youcai, so he hurriedly took action to stop Youcai. And he brought a water bag and fed the wolfdog some water. Then he ordered everyone to take turns to tear off small pieces of mutton and feed them, and the wild wolf dog was quite bold, and after a while he became familiar with everyone. Holding the leg of lamb bones that Fortune threw at it, he walked back and forth in the crowd. Everyone saw that it was quite cute, and they all stroked it, and the wolf dog did not refuse.
While eating mutton, Ziren thought about what Youcai had said before, and began to look for a name for the wolfdog. After thinking about it, I felt that this dog was yellow all over, and decided to name it "Huang Taiji". Xiao Huang Taiji, the second bandit leader of the Tartars, was born in the twentieth year of Wanli (1592), which is three years younger than it, and is his younger brother.
The wolf dog seemed to be quite satisfied with the name, and when he heard Ziren call it that, he hurriedly came to his side. Lying on the ground, he continued to gnaw on the bone in his mouth. Seeing this, everyone praised Ziren for his good training of dogs, and then continued to gather in a circle and rested around the fire.
Suddenly, the wolf dog "Huang Taiji" suddenly got up, put down the bones in his mouth and roared loudly into the distance. Ziren was familiar with the canine nature and knew that it was a warning, so he quickly got up and looked into the distance.
