The night is not young, the wind and snow have stopped, and the world is silent.

Under the cover of the night, the three figures swept quickly through the mountains and forests, climbed over the mountains, and galloped towards the bottom of the mountain.

Suddenly, the team stopped, and the man in the lead raised his hand to stop the two people behind him from advancing, staring at the front with a cold and wary gaze.

"Lao Ding, what's wrong?"

Lu Cai frowned, and after asking his companion, he pulled out the short knife at his waist.

In the darkness, there was a faint flickering cold.

"Shh~"

Ding Dou put his finger to his lips and made a silent gesture.

The three of them were silent for a moment, and then they heard a small noise in front of them.

Immediately after, a pair of dark green pupils reflected in the eyes of the three people.

"Shhhh

Chen Youshui couldn't help but gasp and tense all over.

It's a wolf!

Fortunately, Meng Xiaolang was clever and let Lao Ding and Lao Lu come with him, otherwise he would have plunged into the wolf's mouth if he had his own words.

But after such a close relationship, he was really afraid that this hungry wild wolf would pounce on him.

Lu Cai also changed color, his arm muscles were knotted, and the muscles of his whole body were tense, ready to fight to the death at any time.

Only Lao Ding, not only was he not afraid, his eyes were even getting brighter and brighter, and the whole person seemed to be on fire, trembling with excitement.

"Whew......"

Wild wolves are not stupid, not stupid enough to want 1v3.

It stood and hovered in place, letting out a low, penetrating whimper.

In just a moment, there was a wolf howl from afar, as if echoing it from afar.

At this moment, there is no way to hesitate.

"Hey, I didn't meet you during the daytime hunting, but now I'm sent to the door by myself."

Ding Dou licked the corners of his lips, and his tone was excited: "Today is just the right time to move your muscles and bones!" ”

After he finished speaking, he bent his bow and arrow, and pointed straight ahead.

The wolf's eyes showed a look of panic, and he turned around and tried to escape.

Pity...... It's late!

Whoosh –

The arrow pierced through the air and hit the wolf's left eye with precision.

"Wow!"

The wolf screamed in pain, and his body jerked back.

Lu Cai seized the opportunity, took three steps and made two steps, and stabbed out with a short blade.

With a pop, blood slashed the side of the wolf's waist and abdomen, and he screamed......

……

"Wolf meat is a great supplement, listening to You Fang Langzhong, it can replenish the five internal organs and thicken the stomach. Cure fatigue and dispel cold accumulation. ”

Ding Dou watched Lu Cai disembowel the wolf, and he hung the internal organs that were thrown aside on the branches: "It also has a miraculous effect on the treatment of wind and cold!"

They are old hunters who walk in the mountains and forests, and they have their own set of dietary recipes.

"Lao Ding, don't you bring these internal organs back?"

Chen Youshui looked at the corpse of the wild wolf and asked, "It's a waste to stay." ”

"Hehe...... Ding Dou smiled and explained, "Let's take it back, what do those wolves eat?" ”

This entrail was deliberately left behind to attract the wolves, to make time for himself and the others to slip away.

It's a pity that I didn't bring trap parts, otherwise it would be very interesting to use internal organs as bait and make a trap.

"Don't take it back?"

Chen Youshui was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Are you afraid that the wolves will chase you, so you keep it for the wolf cubs as a snack?" ”

"Hey......

Ding Dou smiled innocently, took off an inner lining and wrapped the wolf corpse.

The three of them were busy, and after packing up, they each carried their burdens and left at night.

As Ding Dou expected, the wolves followed the taste to find the internal organs of their companions, and fought and bitten.

When they were gone, the wolves dispersed, and calm returned to the surroundings.

……

In winter, pedestrians are scarce, and there is a light snow in the evening all day today.

So when the three of them rushed to the official road in the countryside, some dense footprints could still be vaguely identified on the road.

"It's the homeless crowd that hasn't run away!"

In such a large-scale 'footprint group', in addition to the migration of displaced people, I am afraid that there is only a military march.

If it is the former, there is still room for reversal.

According to the Jia woman, there are only twenty or thirty barbarians.

But if it's the latter......

The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but shudder.

All the way from north to south, the military discipline of the Ming army was about equal to 'nothing' in their eyes.

'Plundering the people' is the best situation, and 'killing the good and risking the merits' is the norm.

"Shall we go along and have a look?"

Lu Cai swallowed his saliva and rubbed his hands.

It's not hard to make out the direction of the footprints.

Chen Youshui glanced at him when he heard this, and snorted: "Look at you, you are a long life!" ”

"Let's not talk about whether we can catch up with them if they've been gone all day. Even if we catch up, if we are discovered, will we win? That's a steppe man on horseback! ”

Prairie people = skilled bow horses

The grassland people on horseback, Chen Youshui directly defaulted to the cavalry.

"What about the steppe people? Didn't you listen to Meng Xiaolang? It's just a bunch of barbarians. Let's drill into the mountains and forests, can we catch up with them on horseback? ”

Ding Dou retorted with a sneer.

"What if...... In case ......"

Chen Youshui wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lao Ding.

"No whatever!"

As he spoke, he raised his voice and shouted: "As long as we enter the forest, we Lao Ding don't believe that we can't kill this group of wild donkeys growing up in the grassland!" ”

Ding Dou said, his eyes full of pride.

He was an orphan when he was young, his parents died, and he had no relatives and no reason, so he survived by crawling in the mountains and forests.

So in a way, the mountains and forests are his home.

But how do they know that there is more than one race in the north, and there is more than one terrain.

In the white mountains and black waters, there is also a race that grows in the mountains and forests.

"Okay......" Chen Youshui shrugged, since Lao Ding and Lao Lu were so confident, he didn't say much.

"Gone!"

After Ding Dou finished speaking, he took the lead in opening his legs and chased down the footprints.

……

"Old man, what kind of porridge is this?"

The old wife complained with a bowl of hot soup, and her tone was impatient.

"You know what?"

Lao Tongsheng glared at her and scolded: "In the past, we didn't even have enough rice to eat, and you were still picky, and you didn't know how to be grateful at all?!" If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll whip you with a broom! ”

The female voice immediately settled down and obediently shut up.

Behind the two, a few meters away, a man in a felt hat nodded with satisfaction and paced away, continuing to observe the others.

"Whew-"

The old couple pretended for a while, and when they saw that the other party had indeed walked away, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Eh, old man, is it pretending to be like it?"

The old wife leaned into her husband's ear and asked in a low voice, with a little smug on her face: "Do you look like you?" ”

She gestured to the other people who were patrolling in the distance.

"Like!"

Lao Tongsheng smiled and approving: "In our life, it is worth it to marry you." ”

Perhaps sensing the approaching danger, or perhaps feeling that the future is bleak, Lao Tongsheng is no longer poisonous in the face of his wife who has been with him for decades.

The old wife raised her chin triumphantly, and after drinking the rice soup in the bowl, she asked, "Old man, what do you mean by pretending to be like this?"

Looking at those 'servants' who were holding long whips and hanging sharp weapons from their waists, the old boy shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's just a glimmer of life......
