Now that they had decided to go up to the mountains to hunt, everyone quickly took action. Some went to the kitchen and got some cakes, baked cakes, and salt in case of emergency; Some went to the treasury to bring bows and arrows, guns and sticks, long ropes, and iron hooks, which were used for hunting and making traps; Some of them have two tents and use them when resting on the road.

Lan Qi knew that his strength was small, and it was inconvenient for the eunuch to walk for a long time, so the two of them would definitely not appear in the hunting team. Therefore, they hurriedly tore off the tiger skin on the training ground and stuffed it to Li Ziming, so as not to freeze me; One forced Li to promise that he wouldn't hurt me and that not a single hair would fall out. Although I was moved, I still complained in my heart, how can I not lose my hair? Obviously, even combing your hair will fall out a few times.

In a quarter of an hour's work, the Taihang Mountain hunting team was ready. I, Li Kang and his two personal soldiers who are good at archery, the ten commanders of the Volunteer Army, the seven heroes of Cizhou, a total of eleven people, plus the six hunting dogs of the Zhang family. Before Zong Ze came to stop him, people rode horses, dogs galloped, galloping all the way, and ran towards Taihang Mountain.

————————————————————————————

Put thousands of feet high, looking north at Taihang Mountain. The house is like an ant, covering the dust and mist. The majestic Taihang Mountains are stacked endlessly, the danger is extremely strange, as if it was chopped by the heavenly soldiers and generals in ancient times, the stone walls are jagged and awe-inspiring, and the steep walls of thousands of ravines are clustered. We led our horses down the cliffs, like ants.

Although I could hear the birds and deer in the mountains from a distance, and occasionally there were a few faint tiger roars and wolf howls, I was still a little uneasy, so I pointed to the pine trees that were growing the cliff and asked the Zhang brothers, "I didn't expect that Taihang Mountain is all stone mountains, will there be a lot of prey in the stone mountains?" ”

Erlang Saburo was full of confidence, and explained with a smile, "Don't worry, the king, if you look into the distance, there are many stone walls in this mountain, and there are many forests and canyons at the foot of the mountain. Deer and wolves in the canyon, what do you want! ”

Hearing this, the big guys all frowned and looked serious, but Qiu Da Belly, like me, didn't know the height of the sky, and shouted happily, "King! If it's in other seasons, after a rain, you can go into the mountains, and you can't pick mushrooms and fungus! Qiu said as he patted the rice pot he was carrying, happily cheering at me.

I can see that they are straight face because Zhang Saburo said that there are wolves. Although I have read in novels that wolves are very powerful, in my time, wolves were all national second-class protected animals. So, in my subconscious, the wolf is a canine similar to a large husky, and I don't feel anything scary at all. With this subconscious, my mood was naturally as elated, and I nodded at Zhang Saburo and Qiu Da's belly, and then waved my horsewhip into the depths of the mountain, encouraging everyone to go faster, it was almost time for Shen (two o'clock in the afternoon), and it was best to reach a certain forest canyon before dark.

Zhang Erlang whistled, the hound three front and three rear escort team, we eleven rode in a single column and entered Taihang Mountain.

The horses' hooves splashed with the remnants of the snow trampling, although there were no deer or wolves, but occasionally a few pheasants and hares swept by, Saburo drew a bow and shot arrows, the arrows hit, and the hounds galloped back, shaking their heads and tails to invite credit, it seems that tonight's fresh game has fallen.

Seeing this, Erlang said to Lin Xuesong proudly, "Outside, how is it?" My third brother is amazing, right? You're just shooting at the target, and you're really on the battlefield, no. ”

Xiao Yuanwai is the youngest son of the Cizhou noble forester, his real name is Lin Xuesong, both civil and military, especially good at bows and arrows, a few days ago the training ground compared arrows, and Erlang Saburo is no different. Now on horseback, he may really not be as good as Zhang Sanlang, who has made a living by shooting and hunting since he was a child, listening to Zhang Erlang showing off his younger brother, he pursed his lips unconvinced, and didn't say much.

Erlang laughed when he saw this, and said, "It's nothing now, if you meet a deer or a roe deer, you will know how powerful the third brother of my family is." One arrow will kill, and it will not hurt the slightest skin. ”

Hearing Zhang Erlang say this, I immediately remembered the mighty image of the archer shooting a hunt on TV, and the bow and arrow entering and exiting the right eye of the prey from the left eye, and I couldn't help but be in awe of Zhang Sanlang who was blushing and bowing his head and smiling next to him.

The group talked and laughed, and the more they walked, the denser the forest became, and the branches were layered on top of each other, and after a while, they could not ride horses. The Zhang brothers were worried that the hunting team would get separated, so they arranged a group for everyone, Erlang, me, Qiu Da Belly, a group of three hunting dogs, responsible for leading the way; Li Kang and his two personal soldiers were in charge of the guard; Lin Xuesong and Wang Shuigui, who have quite a lot of experience in hunting, are responsible for observation; San Lang took Li Ziming, Shi Erlang and three other three hunting dogs in a group to be in charge of the palace. Take care of the group and echo between the groups to ensure that no one is left behind.

After going around three mountains in a row, and finally turning over a hanging wall, suddenly, the eyes suddenly opened up. A large expanse of forest and valley as far as the eye can see. It was almost evening, and the setting sun was hanging at the junction of the forest and the sky, and the sky and the earth were dyed blood red by it. It had just snowed heavily, and the treetops were covered with snow, and from a distance, they were white and red. The deer in the forest are singing, the beasts are howling, and I don't know what startles the birds to fly around, and the vitality is fully displayed.

I stared at this beautiful scenery in a daze, and I really felt that my heart was about to stop, and I thought that I had not hit a prey, and this trip was not in vain. But the others were calm, and they looked like they were used to seeing it.

Zhang Erlang turned around and said, "King, the people of Cizhou in this canyon are old, and the deer herd is gone, and there are some pheasants, hares and squirrels, and they have to go in tomorrow." Seeing that it is getting dark, we can't go any further, and when we go down this slope, there is a cave house, so let's rest first. ”

I said in my heart that the dare is the back garden of your Cizhou people, how can I still be shocked for a long time, it is really rare and strange, fortunately I didn't shout excitedly just now, otherwise I would have to laugh and be generous. Thinking about going downhill, it took a quarter of an hour to arrive at the cave house that Jiro said. The entrance of the cave house is not large, about one and a half high, and two people can barely walk side by side. A rattan door blocked the doorway, and the door was covered with grayish-black leather.

When San Lang saw me looking at this skin, he said proudly, "King, this is a wolf skin, my father's!" ”

I nodded, thinking that the wolf skin was good, but the tiger skin of this king was more powerful.

Zhang Sanlang saw that I didn't react much, and said, "King, it's not a good hunter to use tiger skins (I was embarrassed in my heart), good hunters are all wolf skins!" No matter how strong the tiger is, one by one, it will be over with a few arrows. And the wolves are in packs, and the revenge is strong. If anyone confronts a wolf, as long as there is a wolf left in the wolf pack, they will be unable to get along with him, which makes ordinary people dare not provoke wolves. A wolfskin, a pack of wolves. My lord, my father slaughtered a pack of wolves! ”

Seeing Zhang Sanlang's proud face, I patted him on the shoulder cooperatively and said, "The tiger father has no dogs, and this king is waiting for you to slaughter a group of golden people." ”

San Lang said, "What is the tiger, my father will destroy one when he sees one." ”

I said in my heart how can I do this to the national first-class protected animals, but I still said, "Hahaha, the tiger father has no dog son is a proverb, which means that Lao Tzu is a hero." This king believes that you are a good man. ”

Saburo was amused to hear me say this, arched his hand, and said, "Yes!" ”

Except for me, everyone else in this team is very nimble, sorting out the equipment, handling the prey. Soon, the beds were made and the bonfire was burning. Zhang Erlang originally hid a lot of dried mushrooms and spices in the cave house, stuffed the pheasant's belly pouch, and then put the rest into the pot and boiled it with the hare. After a while, the aroma of spiced roast chicken and rabbit stewed mushrooms wafted through the air. The fresher the meat, the faster it is cooked, I can't wait, I pierced a piece of rabbit meat with a dagger and sent it into my mouth, the taste, soft and soft, fragrant and refreshing, I really feel that this pot of rabbit meat is enough for me to remember for a lifetime. When the hunting team saw the sweetness of my food, they also rushed to come around and feast, eating the most authentic mountain flavor on the baked baked cakes, talking and laughing, very happy.

Nothing happened overnight.
