Chapter 3 Three-Point Dart Game (1)
In March of the first year of Ming Dao (1032), Jiangnan was already the season when the grass grew and the warbler flew and the paper kite was full of the sky. The so-called Qiang flute why should complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass, although the Liupan Mountain is thousands of miles away from the Yumen Pass, the spring breeze in the March season has not been touched, it is still the yellow grass and dead leaves, the residual snow still exists, except for the occasional few chickens and birds in the forest, it is really lonely.
Suddenly, the horses' hooves trampled and the singing began, startling some golden chickens in the forest. "When you don't tear your clothes, your wife flies into tears, the frost and snow in the mountains, and the peach blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River are charming. Hego. The golden bottle of wine is still warm, and the long sword is behind the back; don't be ruthless, people are drunk and not drunk. Hego. This is a female voice singing, the voice is very coquettish, but the tenderness and knife spirit in the middle are mixed with a green forest atmosphere. Immediately afterwards, a group of men shouted: "Hewu, ancestral inheritance, be cautious to get three points, three points of dart, and pass through your land."
The singing fell, a standard of people and horses galloped from the mountainside, this team of about seven or eight people, the first 128 women, when the three-point dart board of the young dart master Ma Mu Nan, dressed in goose yellow and tight-fitted, behind a golden knife in the sun is dazzling. Behind a ride, holding a long flag, the dark flag embroidered with a few golden characters of the three-point dart board, in the gallop, the wind hunting sound. The big men on the horses behind him are all dressed in dark clothes, and all kinds of weapons are obliquely inserted behind them. The singing was bursting, but the horse under the crotch did not stay.
But where the dart board darts, are familiar with the road, small darts with waist cards, big darts dart flags, on the way through some risk areas are prepared for the number of salutes, worship the ground. Once this is the life dart, it will be loaded with galloping horses, and if there is a high danger on the way, it will sing a dart and ask for help. This three-point dart game is the first dart game after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, so there is a call for help in the front of the singing dart, and there is a police training after the dart, which is not comparable to the ordinary small dart game.
After passing the sandwich road between the peaks, a big man in the back beat the horse under the crotch a few times, and caught up with the horse in front of Mu Nandao: Senior Sister Mu Nan, the place in front is the old dragon pond, the terrain is open, let's go after dinner.
Ma Mu Nan looked back at the sun and said in a coquettish voice: Just listen to Senior Brother Tong, our old Longtan is open. After speaking, he whipped his horse and galloped out, and all the big men chased after each other in a hurry.
The old dragon pond is the source of the Jing River, surrounded by peaks, the water potential is quiet, and the fog rises under the condensation of profoundness. Although Tong Li said that the terrain of Laolongtan is open, in fact, there are only more than one beach. But it's enough for a group to make a fire to cook, drink horses and wash.
After washing the rice and getting out of the pot, Ma Munan saw that the other senior brothers were busy making food and drinking horses, so he quietly went to a boulder far away with the intention of changing clothes. It's not the first time that the senior brothers and this little junior sister have taken darts, of course, they know the doorway, so they are busy with their backs to avoid suspicion.
Ma Munan undressed, and a small blister quietly appeared on the water in front of the meeting, but he didn't care. When the skirt faded slightly, the blisters suddenly became dense and powerful, and the sudden sound was endless. Ma Munan was shocked, hurriedly tied his clothes, reached out to pull out the golden knife behind his back, and remembered that he had just put it in the horse coat, so he took the small dagger on his waist and waited for it. In a few moments, the blisters stopped abruptly, and a large splash began to spread in all directions. Ma Munan was shocked for a moment, put the dagger back into its sheath, and a corpse suddenly appeared on the water.
Although Ma Munan is a person who practices martial arts, he can't help but exclaim after a long time of training in the green forest. After hearing this, Ma Munan summoned all the senior brothers to come over and salvaged the corpses in the water to the beachhead. The second senior brother Hua Yuwu is good at medicine, and he stepped forward to check that the color behind him was slightly dark. Everyone knew that this man was not dead, and they couldn't help but feel relieved. After all, Tong Li has been in the green forest for a long time, and after a little silence, he arranged for the third junior brother Yang Lu to inspect the surrounding area, and arranged for the fifth junior brother Shao Xiaofei to find a high-point sentinel to be on guard.
By the time Hua Yuwu carried the man who had fallen into the water to the flat place where the fire was cooking, the ninth junior brother Yin Shanfeng had already laid a thick blanket. Ma Munan had already calmed down, and when he looked at the person who fell into the water, he turned out to be a child with clear eyebrows, about twelve or thirteen years old.
After a while, Yang Lu rushed over with a few pieces of clothes, and Yang Lu just put the clothes next to the boy who fell into the water, and the boy coughed lightly and woke up. The young man woke up and looked at the people around him, and couldn't help but be stunned, while Hua Yuwu took the opportunity to throw a set of dry clothes that Yang Lu had taken to the young man.
Tong Li glanced at the young man's clothes, all of which were cotton and linen fabrics, knowing that this child must be a child from a nearby farmer's family, but he didn't understand why this child would fall in this old dragon pond in this still steep early spring. However, seeing that the child was fine, he softly instructed everyone to prepare the meal step by step, leaving only Hua Yuwu and Ma Munan by the young man's side.
Hua Yuwu asked in a low voice where the child came from and how he fell into the water, the child just cried silently, but Shao Xiaofei, who was on the top of the tree, exclaimed, and a few jumped and flew over, and threw the big bird that had been dead from the tree not far away.
The brothers and sisters under the tree were unprepared, and they were really shocked by the falling bird with more than one wing, and the young man who had been crying secretly saw the big bird and swooped straight up and cried. The senior brothers and sisters surrounded the big bird and the boy, dumbfounded.
Hua Yuwu saw that his junior brother and sister were full of doubts, so he hesitated and said: "This should be a golden eagle, I often hear in the martial arts talk about this big bird in various parts of the Western Regions, domesticated to use it for flying and hunting, although wolves, bears, tigers and leopards are not afraid of it." If it's a bird, it's terrifying."
Having said that, Hua Yuwu still has doubts, this old Longtan is not far from the Central Plains, and it seems that there should be no such bird. He whispered to reassure the young man, for only the young man could answer these speculations and doubts.
By the time the meal was ready, the boy had already stopped crying, looked for a hidden place and changed into a fat dry clothes, but no matter how Hua Yuwu and the others teased, the young man just kept silent. A few people were helpless, so they had to stop working hard, and when they were full of food and drink, a few people were about to go on the road, and Tong Li was a little worried. This young man, if he doesn't care about him, in this deep mountain, but there are many dangers, if you take him away, I don't know what this young man thinks.
Hua Yuwu is good at medicine, and his natural ability to observe words and colors is much stronger than others, and he has long known Tong Li's concerns, so he pulled Ma Munan aside and whispered a few times, Ma Munan listened to it with suspicion, and finally couldn't help but let out a startled sound.
Everyone's bags were re-organized, Ma Mu Nan walked straight to the young man's side and said: "It's all my sister's, I didn't see that you were my sister, and I didn't ask what happened to you before, now you are alone in this deep mountain, you are in danger, my sister will go with my sister, and when I get to the place where there is a house in front, my sister will make plans again."
The young man, it should be the girl hesitated for a moment, nodded, Shao Xiaofei had already pulled over to prepare the horse for the girl, and the girl timidly pulled the reins of the horse and didn't know why. Just peeking at the other people to turn over and get on the horse, they turned over and jumped in the same way, but they didn't know that they were too strong and flipped to the other side of the horse. Everyone saw that the girl couldn't ride a horse, but she couldn't make fun of her, so they all snickered from the side. Seeing this, Ma Munan got off the horse and pointed out a few words to the girl, but the girl learned very quickly, turned over lightly, and sat firmly on the horse.
