Chapter 5: The Boss
Under such a scene, Da Lang was a little inexplicably excited.
Just because the chicken thief said he was going to tie himself to the horse.
Before today, Da Lang had never seen what a horse looked like, let alone ridden it. The only big livestock in the village is the two cows, which are the lifeblood of the whole village, even the little grandson of the old village chief, he does not dare to ride, the people in the village are precious, and the farmland of the whole village is counting on those two cows.
Of course, Da Lang must have ridden a bull, and the old village chief said that this cow, after being ridden by a character like Da Lang, was stained with light. At that time, Da Lang was still very proud when he heard this, and after a while, in the envious eyes of many friends, riding a bull and swaggering, it was not until many years later, when he remembered the corners of the old village chief's cunning mouth when he said this, that he realized that he was made fun of by the old village chief.
Bull riding and horseback riding are definitely different, people who have not listened to the town to come back, learn the ventriloquist in the town's teahouse to talk about the ancients or tell the anecdotes of the heroes of the previous dynasty, the heroes, or as long as there is some status of the martial arts, are all horseback, probably only the old man and the old lady who can't walk can ride the bull, such as Lao Tzu who rode a green ox to heaven, isn't it old? Or how to call Lao Tzu.
But when the black man silently put Da Lang face down and his ass on the horse's back, Da Lang couldn't be happy, the horse didn't have much meat, the bones hurt the ribs, and the stomach was also a little unbearable.
After the team marched again, Da Lang knew what the so-called upside down was like, no wonder when the chicken thief said that he would taste what it was like to turn the world upside down, several soldiers on the side were gloating.
How did he know that after those soldiers heard the words "turning the world upside down", they had already thought of other places, but in fact, there were not many elements to laugh at him.
"Let me down!" Da Lang did not have the slightest sense of being a prisoner, and the horse had only walked out for less than a mile, and he shouted when he was bumped by the rugged mountain road.
"Boy, you're just going to be alive, but not many people can enjoy this kind of taste. The chicken thief was far away in front of the team, and he turned a deaf ear to the cry of Da Lang behind, and the fat tall man who had just got a rabbit leg gnawed while walking, and did not forget to take the gnawed one from time to time and handed it to Da Lang's nose, and then suddenly took it back, for fear that Da Lang would take a bite of it.
Da Lang didn't eat what he had gnawed, from childhood to adulthood, Huoyuan Village was blessed with a unique geographical environment, and the people in the village never lacked food, especially game, and Twenty-eight was never willing to let him eat other people's leftovers, so even if he was very hungry now, plus the bile was turned upside down, and the whole stomach was empty as if he was being pulled and twisted and pulled, and Da Lang didn't even look at it.
Of course, there must be saliva to swallow, after all, no one can resist the tempting aroma of barbecue.
Fortunately, more than 100 people only lit twenty or thirty torches, and in the darkness, no one could see the embarrassment of Da Lang swallowing saliva, in fact, even in the daytime, he might not be able to see Da Lang swallowing saliva with his head rushing down.
Da Lang also felt a little strange, why did these soldiers not set up camp when it was dark? Didn't the ventriloquists all say that, as soon as it was dark, the team would set up camp, and they would send sentries to patrol and keep vigil? Now is not the time of chaos, and although Huoyuan Village is not in the Central Plains, it is also in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, even if there are any thieves, when they see more than 100 soldiers, they have long been hiding far away, and the thieves who cut the path during the Chengping period can only make up dozens of people if they die, and there are no weapons.
All in all, the behavior of this group of people is strange, to say that they are local government soldiers, but it is not like that, the local government soldiers actually know the existence of Huoyuan Village, and they are also the old customers of Huoyuan Village, and there are often small colonels with three or two soldiers who run to Huoyuan Village to buy furs and the like in the name of patrolling.
In the whole of Anzhou, who doesn't know that the fur hunted by the mountain people of Huoyuan Village is the best?
There is still some comfort, if they don't stop, then the sooner they can get away from Huoyuan Village.
Suddenly, there was a noise in the procession, and the procession, which had been a snake like a long snake, suddenly fell into chaos in the front halfway.
"What is that white shadow just now, a white fox, or a white wolf?" someone called.
"Are you dazzled? How many can you see clearly this night?" Some people were dissatisfied, the big guy was night blind at night, and he walked all day, except for a break when eating, he kept walking, and his body was tired. It would be better if everyone followed one after the other.
But as soon as someone in front stops, the person behind will inevitably bump into the person in front, or suddenly step into the air, step on a stone or a dirt pit and go to the ground. So it caused dissatisfaction and commotion, and those who were more hot scolded on the spot.
"It's true, I saw a white shadow flashing in the grass when I was just on the road after eating, and I thought it was the firelight shining on the tip of someone's gun, but when I just turned the big tree, I saw the white shadow again, and this time I saw it clearly, there was a fluffy tail, either a fox or a wolf. ”
"It must be a fox, but the wolf's tail hangs. When you said this, I remember that I seemed to have seen a white shadow. "It's not a person who sees it, and when he sees someone who brings it up first, he also echoes it.
"What kind of noise! Do you think this is the early years? Xiangrui wants to go crazy? Give a certain honesty, go back early and pay the errand, and then you can make as much trouble as you want, and you can't care about it, but now, whoever wants to have more branches, don't blame a certain knife for not having long eyes!" This is the voice of the chicken thief, revealing displeasure and anger.
I didn't dare to speak for a while, the ruthlessness of my captain, everyone has tasted it, I really want to annoy him, don't say that it is light to break a leg, cut your tongue and gouge out your eyeballs, and there are many people who have died screaming under the mess in recent years.
Da Lang also heard it, he was torn to the bones on horseback, and he looked up with difficulty, he didn't have any night blindness like these soldiers, no one in Huoyuan Village had night blindness, you know, for the people of Huoyuan Village who rely on hunting to obtain the main meat and exchange fur for salt and other necessities of life, night blindness is a terrible thing.
If it is put in a thousand years later, no one knows what night blindness is, but now no one knows, and the people of Huoyuan Village don't know why they don't have night blindness, while people in other places will have night blindness, only saying that Huoyuan's feng shui is good.
Da Lang always felt that this seemed to be related to the fact that the people of Huoyuan Village liked to eat the water, but he himself wondered, why did he feel so? I remember the first time I heard that people outside the mountain could not see things at night, he subconsciously decided that people outside the mountain do not eat water or rarely eat water, and then I inquired with people who often go out of the mountain, and it is really like this, people outside the mountain think that the water is very dirty, and they are all thrown to the dogs and chickens at home to eat.
Only the people of Huoyuan Village have a soft spot for boiling water, wash it in the water, fish it with boiling water, and then use the open flame to burn the skin crispy, and then cut it into pieces or sections, throw it into the pot, throw a large piece of ginger into it, throw a lot of pepper (the ancient name of pepper is pepper) into it, and then sprinkle a large handful of green salt and home-picked dried mushrooms, not to mention how beautiful the taste is.
If there are fresh red perilla (perilla) leaves, they are also washed, wrapped in boiling hot and numb water and sent to the mouth, it is to be exchanged for a county order, and it is estimated that few people in Huoyuan Village are willing to change it.
It is known that the grass sound is so, Da Lang can tell whether the grass sound is blown by the wind or there is an animal passing through the noise, he has not yet learned the ability, if Zhao Da Zhao Er hears it, he can immediately tell how big the animal that is making noise in the grass is, whether it is old or strong.
It's not the sound of the wind blowing. Da Lang judged it immediately, and then, he smiled.
This is the movement made by Boss Bai.
The white boss is not a person, the white boss is a dog, it is the white dog of the twenty-eight family who grew up with the big man, since the big lang began to stumble as a toddler, the twenty-eight one day from the outside hugged the chubby white boss who was only the size of the palm of the twenty-eight back, I don't know where he got it, the white dog is rare, even the old village chief just saw the white boss, he said that the luck of the twenty-eight is really good, he has eaten for more than fifty years, and it is the first time to see the white dog.
Of course, Zhao Da Zhao Er they scoffed, there is no in the mountains does not mean that there is no outside the mountain, in the town, there are also white dogs in the county, but they are all small lang or little lady's playmates raised by big families, not to take care of the family's nursing home, and they are reluctant to release it on weekdays, so it is naturally rare.
It's been eight years, right? I began to learn to walk at the age of five, or Boss Bai led me in front of me to learn to walk, these eight years, Da Lang and Boss Bai are almost inseparable, only in the past two years because of the opening of the mountain to build roads, worried that Boss Bai's small body in the wild will not be seen well by the jackal and leopard bullied, so it left it at home.
Twenty-eight also hated Boss Bai a little bit, when Da Lang was not there, the white boss who was jumping around was as if he was sick, and he knew to sleep on his stomach all day long, only when Da Lang went home, Bai Boss seemed to come alive again, the tail wagged happily, and the ** who stood up and jumped up with his hind legs, how sour it was.
The white boss's nose is very smart, the white boss's eyes are also thieves, and the most important thing is that the white boss is very smart, and the white boss has never trained it, but the white boss can understand what the big man says, tell it to sit, it sit, and shout "scared!", the white boss is like a leopard with four short legs, and rushes in the direction of the big lang's fingers like an arrow, although it has a small body and short legs, but the execution of the big lang's orders is uncompromising.
"Phew~Phew~" Da Lang whistled, and then shook his head and blew a strange tune that he didn't know who he learned from, very rhythmic.
"Die, if you make a noise again, a certain family will gag your mouth with a foot coat (socks). The soldier, who had been trained a little unhappily by the chicken thief, found a place to vent, turned his head and gave a low shout at Da Lang.
