"Presumptuous!" Huo Le people were angry, "We Huo Le people have an old saying, one day is a teacher and a father is life, you can insult me, but you must not insult my master and his old man!"

Xiao Jinyan pondered, when did this become an old saying of your Huo Le people? I'm just telling you a fact, since he refuses to accept it, then continue to numb himself.

"Look at the sword!"

"Wait!"

The person who spoke was Di Linazha, Xiao Jinyan didn't expect that she would stand up at this time. I saw her say slowly, "Malakis, have you ever considered the consequences of doing something on the territory of our Kubangs?"

"Haha! I wouldn't have come here without thinking about the consequences. Huo Le said, "Crescent Spring, you are the most beautiful wild horse on the Holle grassland, but it's a pity that you want to marry that coward Marge, I feel sorry for you, why don't you marry me, let the Kubang and Huo Le people form an alliance, and dominate the Lingding Sea from now on, how about it?"

When everyone heard this, they angrily reprimanded Huo Leren, but Huo Leren didn't think so and laughed.

"Who am I going to marry and what do you have to do with you?" Marg is the first warrior of our seas, his eyes are as deep as stars, his shoulders are as broad as mountains, his courage is as hot as the sun, and you are a caterpillar compared to him. ”

"Caterpillar, have you seen it?" laughed, "First Warrior, at least until he defeated me, he wasn't the First Warrior." ”

Xiao Jinyan shook his head, "You are not a warrior. ”

"Why?"

"A true warrior who dares to face up to the dripping blood. You can't do it. ”

"Nope. I can look at the blood that flows from your head to the ground. Huo Le drew his sword, and with an oblique stab, he attacked Xiao Jinyan's throat.

Xiao Jinyan clamped the donkey's belly, Lu Gongzi suddenly raised his front hooves and kicked on the head of the Huo Le people's horse, the war horse was in pain, and with a snort, he ran away with the Huo Le people.

Lu Gongzi saw that the Huole people's war horses were all mares, his eyes were full of golden light, and he chased after the other party, and when the Huole people's war horses saw this, they ran away one after another, and after a while, the entire Huole people ran away.

The Kubangs taunted them in their language in the back.

Buda said, "Friend Xiao, you have done us a great favor again, from now on, you are the most expensive guest of our Kubang clan!" He glanced at the leper donkey again, and said in surprise, "You donkey, you have a strange appearance, even the fire unicorn is afraid, it should not be ordinary." ”

When Lu Gongzi heard this, he looked smug and raised his front hooves.

Xiao Jinyan said, "It's lazy and gluttonous, if it weren't for the small amount of food, and the six catties of grass in a hundred miles would be saved, I would want to sell it." ”

Lu Gongzi snorted and expressed his dissatisfaction, he has been with you for so many years, and he wants to get rid of Lao Tzu and forget the days when he accompanied you to gnaw the door panel in Suzhou City?

Ali looked worried, and he looked in the direction where the people of Hole had gone. The two tribes have shared the Lingding Sea and have been peaceful for many years, but the appearance of the fire unicorn may make the two clans start a dispute again. Today, they have not taken advantage of it, and they will certainly not give up.

Ali and Buda were the warriors of the Kupangs. They were taken in by the patriarch since childhood, and taught martial arts and horsemanship, and were nominally Di Linaza's guards, but the two of them regarded her as a sister in their hearts. This crescent moon spring, like a wild horse, no one can restrain it, and it makes the old patriarch have a headache all day long. This time he secretly ran out and followed the two out to set the horse, and it is estimated that after going back, the two will not be scolded by the old patriarch.

Fortunately, with the help of this Han people, they caught the fire unicorn, which was worth a year's tax of the Gubang clan, and the old patriarch was able to be extra generous for its sake.

Ali was older and thoughtful, but Buda, who was simple-minded, saw that the crisis had been resolved, and had begun to mix among the herds and choose the horses he liked.

In the evening, Xiao Jinyan returned to the camp with the Kubang people.

The Kupang people are nomadic in Lingdinghai all the year round, constantly migrating, and when they encounter a place where water and grass are abundant, they are stationed on the spot, so the camp is very simple, built of wood, covered with cowhide, oval-shaped, covered with hay, and a number of ornaments made of wolf bones and pearls.

The tent was built in a low-lying area to shelter from the wind. Relying on the river, it is convenient to get water, and during the rainy season, the water can be discharged into the river in time.

Ali told Xiao Jinyan that this river is called the Mule River, all the way to the west, at the Hengduan Mountain, where it joins the Nu River, and enters the territory of the Ming Dynasty, "It is the Chishui River in your mouth." ”

Xiao Jinyan looked at the small river that was not wide enough to fill the sky, the river water was very shallow, and it looked no different from the small river in the countryside south of the Yangtze River, so inconspicuous, but it went all the way west, entered the Hengduan Mountain, and after gathering with the melting snow in the mountain, it became the Chishui River, and when it reached the downstream, it was turbulent.

"The Crescent Fountain is back!"

When a group of children heard the shouting, they ran out of the tent and surrounded Dilinaza in the middle, and as if by juggling, she conjured all kinds of strange tomos, persimmons, and sea buckthorn fruits from her hands, and the children raised their hands and scrambled to get them.

After everyone dispersed, Di Linaza came to Xiao Jinyan and handed over a handful of swarthy, pearl-sized wild fruits, "Ah, here you go." ”

Xiao Jinyan asked, "What?"

"Poisonous, do you dare to eat it?"

Xiao Jinyan said in his heart that I have even eaten the six poisons of Xiaoyao, and I am afraid that your poisonous fruit will not succeed? He took it and stuffed it into his mouth. The wild fruit crumbled in the mouth, the taste was slightly astringent, and then it was sweet in the mouth, and he said, "So delicious?

Di Lina laughed, as if she had a bad breath and walked away!

The rest of the people pointed to Xiao Jinyan's face and laughed along.

Xiao Jinyan felt strange, and didn't know why they were laughing.

Ali said to everyone, "Friend Xiao is our honored guest, don't joke around." ”

Ali had a high position among the people of Kupang, and when he heard his words, the people dispersed. Ali then said, "Friend Xiao, let's go wash your face first." ”

Someone sent a wooden basin for water, Xiao Jinyan saw that his whole mouth had turned black, Xiao Jinyan was embarrassed, and only then did he know that Di Linaza didn't have any good intentions just now.

The clansmen held a grand dinner as a welcome ceremony for the return of the heroes. Of course, the protagonist of the dinner party was not Xiao Jinyan, but the fire unicorn.

The bonfire rises and the aroma of lamb fills the air.

Everyone looked around the horse, some were happy, singing and dancing, but no one paid attention to Xiao Jinyan, but there was mutton and mare's milk wine, and Xiao Jinyan didn't care.

Ali came with a child and said, "My son." Manu. ”

The little boy's face was flushed, he looked five or six years old, he looked a little cute, and he greeted Xiao Jinyan in broken Chinese.

"Brother Xiao, don't look at my son, who is only six years old, but he is the best wrestler in their age. I heard that you are a master from the original from Zhongyuan, and I want to learn a trick and a half from you. ”

When he said this, Ali's mouth was full of pride.

Manu asked, "Uncle Xiao, do you have a knife?"

Xiao Jinyan shook his head.

"Do you have a sword?"

Still shaking his head.

"If you don't have a sword, you don't have a sword, so how can you fight someone?"

Xiao Jinyan said with a smile, "I have a set of boxing techniques, and when I fight, I can snatch knives and swords from other people's hands, so I usually don't bring a blade." ”

"Bragging!" Manu said with a childish face, he took out a half-foot-long scimitar from his arms, and said to Xiao Jinyan, "Then you want to try?"

As he spoke, he slashed at Xiao Jinyan with a knife.

The moves seem to be similar, and the strength is also outstanding among his peers. Xiao Jinyan stretched out his right hand and lightly touched his wrist, Manu was in pain, the scimitar fell off, and Xiao Jinyan took it in his hand.

Manu barely believed his eyes, "How did you do that?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "There are more than 400 acupuncture points in the human body, connecting the muscles, veins, qi and blood, if it is hit, it can make people temporarily lose control of their muscles. My punch method is based on this principle. ”

Just like when Li Chuntie taught him, Xiao Jinyan became a teacher, and patiently told Manu about the mystery of the Wushuang Divine Fist, but the child was too young to understand, and he couldn't stay here for a long time. Manu couldn't understand the fist method, but he had a very high understanding of the nameless knife technique, and he learned two moves in less than half an hour.

"Uncle Xiao, will you stay here for a few days and teach me this set of knife techniques?" Manu's eyes were full of anticipation.

Ali also said, "Anyway, I have a place at home, it's better to live in my house, in a few days it will be the Moon Festival of the Kubang clan, and after the festival, you won't be too late to leave!"

"Moon Festival?"

Ali explained, "We Kupang people are nomadic herders in the Lingding Sea, and every year on October 15, we hold a moon festival, which is also a day to celebrate the harvest, and the whole clan celebrates together, worships the moon god, and prays for good luck in the coming year. The next day, the tribesmen would take their cattle and sheep and pasture and move to the east for the winter. ”

Manu also wanted to keep Xiao Jinyan, and said, "That's it, that's it, that day was really lively!"

"Brother Xiao, aren't you going to Xijing to find someone, I discussed with the patriarch, after the Moon Festival, we will take the fire unicorn to the capital to pay tribute, you are not familiar with the place, first, we will help you lead the way, second, let's go together, so we have a care, third, I have a lot of friends in Beijing, maybe I can help." ”

Xiao Jinyan thought that it was also a solution, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that the wine in your clan is not enough for me to drink!"

Ali laughed heartily, "If you want gold, silver and jewelry, we Kupangs don't have it, if you want good wine, you have found the right place!"

Not long after Ali left, he came over with Buda and a group of friends carrying a huge vat, "Today, we are not drunk and have no home!"

Xiao Jinyan saw such a wine for the first time, and his heart suddenly became arrogant, "Drink!"

Buda said with a smile, "We Kubang people have a rule, when drinking, whoever goes to pee first will be punished with three bowls first"

Half an hour later.

Xiao Jinyan is already drunk and hazy, mare's milk wine is different from the Central Plains wine, with a little sweetness, but the stamina is great, although he has a large amount of wine, but he can't stand the crowd, everyone comes up, toast three bowls first, if you don't drink, he starts singing and dancing until you finish drinking, so after three or four rounds, he is already dizzy, just like that day with Yuwen Tianlu in the Li family wine shop, drunk and dizzy.

"I'm going to pee. Xiao Jinyan finally couldn't help but say, "I understand the rules, and I will punish myself for three bowls." ”

Xiao Jinyan drank three bowls of wine in one gulp, staggered all the way, came to a secluded place, finished urinating, and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard someone arguing not far away.

Xiao Jinyan passed by in a hurry, only to see Di Linaza and a man arguing on the hillside, the two of them arguing with red faces and red ears, and saying something in Kupang.

Suddenly, the man's voice raised his voice and changed to Chinese, "Don't think I don't know anything, I heard the clansmen say, you and the surnamed Xiao eyebrows, you go, you have the ability to find him!"

"Marge, don't think you're going to eat Dingben girl. Di Linaza also said loudly, "Just go, this girl is still afraid?"

With that, she stood up, walked over to Xiao Jinyan, and collided with Xiao Jinyan. Xiao Jinyan said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but don't worry, I didn't understand a word of what you said!"

Di Lina said, "It's all your fault!"

Xiao Jinyan said, "What does it have to do with me, this girl, I have saved you twice, you don't know how to be grateful, and you still speak ill of each other, which is not kind." ”

"Stinky rascal!"

Xiao Jinyan raised his arm and sniffed his clothes, "I've been busy for a few days, I haven't taken a bath, it's a little rancid, but it definitely doesn't stink." Also, I'm not a hooligan. ”

Di Linaza said coldly, "You're not a hooligan, can you put your pants on first?"
