Chapter 480: Chance Encounter

"The snow wolf is still over there!" Zhao Tianci said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, your horses won't have enough for them to eat, these snow wolves have been hungry for days."

Speaking of his poor war horse, Zhao Tianci gritted his teeth with hatred, and died honorably before he had gone far, this group of wolves is too not "human"!

"One hundred and twenty people, two cars!" Han Ping listened for a while and said.

"Count one hundred and twenty-two coachmen!" Zhao Tianci said.

"You can smell the art of detection too?" Han Ping looked at him curiously and asked.

Zhao Tianci shook his head, "No!" He didn't know how many people there were outside, and that was what he "saw".

The men stopped not far away, and one of them said, "Patriarch, there are a lot of snow wolf footprints here!" ”

Another voice said, "It's not just snow wolves, it's people!" ”

Zhao Tianci grinned, "We were discovered!" ”

The footsteps came to a stop in front of the tree hole, "Which hero is inside, can you come out and see it?" ”

Han Ping was about to pick up his bow and arrows, but Zhao Tianci raised his hand and said, "No, people are politely coming over to invite us." ”

Han Ping was suspicious, Zhao Tianci reached out to pull out the bark, and saw a tall strong man standing there with his fists clenched, so he jumped out first.

Han Ping saw that the man really didn't have a weapon, and his face was very kind, so he took his bow and arrows and walked out of the hole in the tree.

"In the Lower Yahan Centurion Cheng Jike, dare to ask if the two of you are from the east?" The strong man looked at them for a moment and asked in a harmonious voice.

Zhao Tianci didn't know how to answer, Han Ping said, "We are from the east, you are from the Yahan Tribe?" ”

At this time, another old man with a rough face strode over, and said with a smile, "I am Cheng Gaoyi of the Yahan Department, dare to ask this strong man's name?" ”

Han Ping hugged his fists, "It turned out to be the patriarch, Han Ping is polite!" ”

Cheng Gao Yi said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Since Han Yingying is from the east, I have a few words that I want to ask alone, I wonder if Han Yingying can make it convenient? ”

That Cheng Jike bowed to Zhao Tianci and said, "This brother, please come with me!" ”

Zhao Tianci knew that they were going to talk to Han Ping alone, and he was "in the way" here, so he followed Cheng Jike to their team "knowingly".

He casually glanced at these people, more than a hundred people, all of them were strong men, and they thought that they should protect this Yahan clan leader.

"Brother Cheng, you and that patriarch are ......" Zhao Tianci asked casually when he heard that the names of the two of them were similar.

"That's my father!" Cheng Jike didn't hide it, and said with a smile.

"You're not from here?" Zhao Tianci asked again.

Cheng Jike's face changed slightly, "Do you mean our surname?" ”

Zhao Tianci nodded, "Mongolia...... Oh, the names of the people are weird. ”

Cheng Jike smiled, "I don't know the name of the little brother yet!" ”

Zhao Tianci thought for a while and said, "Little brother Wan Linggen! ”

Cheng Jike said, "Brother Wan is good! We are not from the Mungus tribe, and we are not inhabitants of the locals......"

"Ke'er!" After Cheng Gaoyi and Han Ping finished speaking, they frowned and said, "Treat the two Central Plains friends well, don't talk nonsense." ”

Cheng Jike hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, father!" ”

Zhao Tianci and Han Ping sat on the tree stilt not far from them, "Uncle Han, what did he tell you?" ”

Han Ping glanced at him and said with a strange expression, "He asked me if I knew a person named Zhao Tianci." ”

Zhao Tianci was stunned when he heard this, "Ask me?" Do? ”

Han Ping said, "I told him, I don't know." By the way, you didn't tell them what your name was, did you? ”

Zhao Tianci said, "Ten thousand spirit roots! It's not Zhao Tianci! ”

Han Ping nodded, "The name Zhao Tianci is too loud, so don't worry about it." ”

While the two were talking, Cheng Jike sent two cakes over, "Let's use some food first, the road ahead is not easy to walk." ”

Zhao Tianci took it and took a bite, it was hard to bite down, Han Ping said, "This is their food, it's not like this." As he spoke, he tore off a small piece with his hand and put it in his mouth, then grabbed a handful of clean snow foam and put it in his mouth. Zhao Tianci also pulled a small piece of cake mixed with snow foam and put it in his mouth, and the snow foam dissolved in his mouth, and it was really much easier to chew.

After those people finished eating and drinking, Cheng Gaoyi whispered a few words to Cheng Jike, and Cheng Jike called more than a dozen people over and got busy outside the woods.

Zhao Tianci didn't know what they were doing, so he asked quietly, "What are they doing?" ”

Han Ping looked at it for a while and said, "They want to hunt wolves!" ”

"Wolves?" Zhao Tianci was very curious, got up and walked over.

Cheng Jike saw him coming, bowed down and said, "Brother Wan, please go back." ”

When Zhao Tianci saw them burying extremely thin silk threads in the snow, he asked, "Do you want to use these things to hunt wolves?" ”

Cheng Jike nodded, "They haven't eaten yet, they will definitely come back later, we caught them, and we will have food along the way." ”

Zhao Tianci returned to Han Ping and asked, "Can you catch the snow wolf with just those few secret ropes?" ”

Han Ping said, "It's possible." ”

After Cheng Jike finished arranging, he returned to the team and talked to his father Cheng Gaoyi in a low voice.

"It's coming!" Han Ping's body moved, took off the strong bow on his shoulder and stood up.

Zhao Tianci raised his eyes and saw that a group of snow wolves were bowing their heads and walking over here, obviously they had discovered the prey in the forest.

Cheng Jike waved his hand, and his team split in two, scattering to both sides, and at the same time lifted the coarse cloth covering the car, which was full of animal carcasses.

The snow wolf in front sniffed vigorously with its nose, then raised its head and howled a few times, and the wolf snow behind also howled.

Han Ping pulled Zhao Tianci to hide behind a big tree, "The snow wolves are very smart, they scattered!" ”

Zhao Tianci held the short knife in his hand and watched nervously at Lin Wai's every move.

The smell of the carcasses of the beasts in the car strongly stimulated the snow wolves, and when they were still a dozen paces away, they finally started.

More than a hundred snow wolves ran wildly, roaring and pounced on the two cars.

"Up!" Cheng Jike shouted, and the people hidden on both sides pulled up the ropes hidden under the snow at the same time.

The first to be pulled up were the outermost two ropes, and the running snow wolf hit them directly.

Snow wolves leap up as they run at the same height as the rope lifted, and when their front legs fall, the rope reaches their waist. The strong men on both sides worked together, and they stopped the snow wolf by the waist, and the wolf body circled around the rope and fell to the ground fiercely.

The force of this fall is fatal for the snow wolf. After the wolf's head landed on the ground, the wolves behind stepped on it desperately, so that after a fall and a step, there was basically nothing left to stand up.

Immediately after the second and third...... The buried ropes were lifted one after another, and the snow wolves who rushed in front fell down one after another. By the time the last two ropes were lifted, there were less than ten snow wolves left.

Cheng Jike whistled, and the rest of the people rushed up and beat them with the wooden sticks in their hands, and the few remaining snow wolves were reimbursed in this way.

The whole process was from beginning to end, and it didn't take half an hour, they moved quickly and skillfully, and at a glance, they knew that they often did this, Zhao Tianci couldn't help but nod secretly.

The crowd dragged the faint or dead snow wolves into the car, and then added another stick to each snow wolf's head. After tying them up, Cheng Jike came to Zhao Tianci and Han Ping and asked, "Are you going with us?" ”

Han Ping looked at Zhao Tianci, and Zhao Tianci nodded, "Okay!" ”

Cheng Jike said, "Please follow the car!" ”

The group hit the road.

After walking for a while, Zhao Tianci realized that the reason why he and Han Ping were arranged in the back of the car was really a piece of kindness, because in the entire team, only this position was the easiest to walk.

After walking for about two hours, the sun was already in the west, and it was getting dark. It was still white all around, and there was not even a hill.

Cheng Gaoyi and the others stopped.

Seeing this, Zhao Tianci asked, "Uncle Han, are they going to spend the night here?" ”

Han Ping nodded, "Presumably so." ”

Zhao Tianci said, "Why don't you spend the night in the forest, where the wind is still lighter." ”

Han Ping said, "That's right, the wind there is lighter, but there are more wild beasts. ”

Zhao Tianci thought that this was indeed the case, so he didn't say anything anymore.

In fact, he wasn't really afraid of any cold wind, but he just lay in the snow and spent the night, which is a bit incredible to think about.

Cheng Jike asked people to send two more cakes, but Zhao Tianci didn't take them, and most of the cake just now was still in his arms.

Even when the sun had completely sunk, the snow in the night was not so dark. Zhao Tianci was lying on the snow, with a high starry sky above it, starry, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

More than 100 of Cheng Gaoyi's subordinates centered on the two cars, distributed around them, and circled three times. In addition to Zhao Tianci and Han Ping, Cheng Gaoyi and his son Cheng Jike were also there, but there was still some distance between the father and son and them, and they didn't talk to them, sitting there with their eyes closed as if they were asleep.

In addition to the breath of a person, there was also a rustling of footsteps from time to time, Zhao Tianci turned his head sideways to look at Han Ping, he was also staring at the night sky above his head in a daze.

"Uncle Han, did you hear the voice," Zhao Tianci asked softly.

"Shh Han Ping put a finger to his mouth, "Don't be silent, I'm counting how many there are." ”

Zhao Tianci lowered his voice again and asked, "Do you want to tell them?" ”

Han Ping waved his hand, "No." He rolled over and sat up, his face changing dramatically, "More than five hundred!" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Tianci was taken aback and sat up as well.

He only heard the wolf roar in the distance, and he didn't know how many there were.

Han Ping looked back at Cheng Gaoyi's father and son, and saw that the two of them had already opened their eyes and were looking into the distance motionlessly. (To be continued.) )
