Five hundred and eighty-one, herding sheep baby
The man looked suspicious and asked, "Where are you from?"
Chen Lu realized that what he asked was wrong, and immediately said, "I was walking at night and lost my way." ”
"Ao, this is the Hula camp of Baoda Country, where do you want to go, I'll tell you. ”
Chen Lu saw that he was very enthusiastic, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Afraid of arousing suspicion, he hurriedly said, "Is that child of yours milking? This child is so good, he can do housework at such a young age." ”
Redbeard stopped dwelling, and said with a smile: "He is not a child of our family, he is a worker, and he is treating the sheep's wounds." ”
Chen Lu understood the meaning of this sentence, that is, the long-term worker of their family, who seemed to be herding sheep. Redbeard shouted: "Xiao Er, is it bandaged? Other people's sheep are waiting for you, hurry up, grind." ”
Xiao Er agreed and walked out, Chen Lu saw that he was about ten years old, wearing a dirty robe, which had been broken in several places, and there were no patches, barefoot. Unkempt hair. He said, "Uncle, this sheep can't go today, you can feed it at home, I'm leaving." ”
As he spoke, he scattered all the sheep in the sheepfold, turned around and took a firewood knife, and said, "Uncle, if I come back late today, you can pick it up over there, I am afraid that I will meet the wolves again." ”
Redbeard said: "Sometimes you can do it, how many people have told me, people see wolves, drive the sheep and run away, you are good, just go and intercept the way of those wolves, you are not crazy! ”
Xiao Er agreed, and drove away with hundreds of sheep.
Chen Lu thought it was funny, this kid was too bold, and looked at Redbeard suspiciously, and Redbeard said, "This kid ate the bear's heart and leopard gall." The day before yesterday the wolves came, and everyone drove the sheep back. But he drove the sheep to meet them. As a result, we lost more than 20 sheep, I really want to beat him, think about this child without a father and mother, where can I do it?"
Chen Lu said: "You are really kind, he calls you uncle, you are his relative, right?"
"I don't know each other, but I look at him pitiful and don't talk to you anymore, I have to go and see how this sheep is bandaged?"
Chen Lu said, "What's wrong with this sheep?"
"Yesterday, I met the wolves again, this time Xiao Er became smarter, and ran away with the sheep, this sheep walked slowly and fought with the wolf for a while, was injured, and almost lost his life. As he spoke, he looked up and saw that the man was gone.
Chen Lu rode a horse and looked around, there is no army, this is a human being, it can't be wrong, look at their decoration, it is to report to the country, it is not wrong. Chen Lu suspected that something was really wrong with his spirit.
He was startled when he heard the sound of reading a book coming from there. The average nomad rarely reads and writes, and the people here are good.
He followed the sound, and in a felt tent there were several children reading, shaking their heads and reading. Chen Lu felt very much like the private school of the Celestial Empire.
He stood at the door and waited for a while, and Mr. Private School came out. Chen Lu hurriedly greeted in the Western Regions, this person glanced at Chen Lu, returned the salute, and said, "I'm sorry, I want to hurry up and pay tribute, and I have to endorse when I come back." ”
Chen Lu hurriedly said: "Don't delay you for too long, I'm an official of the Celestial Empire, I'm lost, how can I go?"
The man was taken aback and said, "The Celestial Empire? That's far away, not to mention thousands of miles away." You don't know if it's the Yongle Dynasty when you go back now. ”
With this sentence, Chen Lu was relieved, this is the human world of the blue sky and the white sun, and it is the current dynasty.
He flew on his horse and returned to the camp before the fifth watch. Long Gang is organizing the opening, and he will not even demolish Dazhai, leaving an empty camp.
Chen Lu secretly applauded, the sky was already bright, everyone passed the mountain beam smoothly, and ran down the official road quickly. Everyone felt that they had a ghost in their hearts, and suddenly there were bursts of screams and fierce firecrackers in front of them, and Ma Erxiao shouted: "Don't leave these thieves." "Enemy soldiers surrounded them from all sides.
The thieves on the front three floors and the outer three layers opened their bows and arrows to block the way, and arrows were being released on the left and right sides, and the mission had already knocked down more than a dozen people, and they were rushing up desperately.
Long Gang was shocked and ordered to retreat. Fortunately, there was no enemy in the back, and the front team became the rear team, and then retreated to Dazhai. Counting the people, seventeen people were killed and wounded, six people were captured, counting those captured yesterday, eleven have been captured.
Everyone was very depressed.
Ma Erxiao didn't chase after him, and waited in line on the mountain beam. Chen Lu sat in his big tent, puzzled. Dolan and Nalan came over and asked about the night. Chen Lu said in frustration.
Nalan said: "Brother Chen, this is the first time a dog has made a mistake. This dog thing, I'm going to have to whip it another day. ”
Dolan shook her head and said, "It's not necessarily wrong, sometimes it's true and it's illusory, false is true, true is false, true is false, false is true." ”
Nalan smiled and said, "Brother Chen, my sister is about to become a great monk. ”
Chen Lu pondered these words, there was a certain amount of truth, but there was really no army there. Dolan said, "Brother Chen, I'll go with you again." This time in a different place. It may be just right to go at this time. Then he shouted: "Sixth son, you go and do something, go and find a piece of the captured soldier's clothes, shoes and hats." Han Liu'er agreed and left.
Chen Lu's eyes lit up and said, "Good idea, look for these captured soldiers first, maybe you will come up with an answer." Doran nodded.
Nalan said: "Sister, let me go, I haven't gone out on an errand with Brother Chen for a long time." ”
Chen Lu said: "This is not a recreation, what is the benefit? How can the camp be separated from you?"
After a while, Han Liu'er came back and brought a boot, which was full of stench.
Chen Lu smiled and said, "Sixth son, you are really good at looking for it, and you are convinced." It is also delicious, and it is suitable for the heavy taste of dogs. Everyone laughed.
Long Gang also came, Chen Lu said briefly, he nodded, and said, "Lord Chen, you have to be more careful." Even if they don't come back, don't take any chances. ”
The implication is that don't take risks for the sake of soldiers, and Li Da is the same meaning.
Chen Lu called the big green horse over and asked him to sniff it, the big green horse looked up to the sky and neighed, snorted again and again, and glared at Chen Lu dissatisfied.
Chen Lu smiled and said, "Brother, are you also afraid of this smell? Then why did you let me run a second time." If you're mistaken this time, I'll greet you with a whip. With that, he and Dolan walked out of the camp.
The two of them walked in the opposite direction for a while, mounted their big green horses, took off into the air, and landed in a town. It's still night, and when they look at it, it's already the fifth watch.
As soon as they landed, they heard a clanging sound, and when they saw it, it turned out to be a coffin shop, and there were several coffins that had not yet been oiled outside. Chen Lu felt unlucky, and was about to leave after a while.
