Snow Mountain Flying Fox Chapter 1 The coming snow
In Chang'an in November, it was drizzling and a little wet and cold, and the people on the street said this with a sense of anger.
This was the first cold winter that Ma spent in Chang'an.
Compared with the winter in the south, the winter in Chang'an is even colder. The consolation is that you can see snow that you have never seen before. But the first snow of the year has not fallen for a long time, looking up at the sky, the weather in the past few days, it seems that the sky is preparing to go, to be enough at one time.
Wei Ling knocked on the door and walked into the bedroom, still holding a bag of heavy things in his hand.
"Why are you still lying in bed? Do you have enough clothes to keep out the cold? I see that you are usually a little thinly dressed, and I have some leather jackets here, you can take them and wear them." β
Wei Ling untied his burden, put the heavy beast skin jackets in his hand next to Yichao, and asked him to pick two of his favorites.
"This and this, this is really thankful, then I'm welcome. β
Once he sat up, he draped his back with a quilt, like a little girl buying vegetables on the street, and picked up the leather jackets that Wei Ling brought.
Wei Ling, who is used to staying in the northern mountains, feels that Chang'an is itchy and cold in winter.
"In our hometown, if it snows, it can bury our family. β
Once he took a fancy to a black bear skin that was the same as Wei Ling's. The fur of this jacket is shiny, and you can smell the original beast faintly. He wrapped the black bear skin around his body, which was very warm, but it was a little heavy.
"Speaking of snow, if the ice is also snow, then I must have seen snow. β
"Then how can it be considered snow, if you have the opportunity to go back to our hometown with us in the future, I will take you to see what real snow is, and take you to hunt in the snow casually." β
Once he had wrapped himself in a ball, "Hunting?"
"Yes, hunting. In our hometown, sometimes we will go into the mountains to hunt in the snow season, hunt hares and pheasants or something, and sometimes meet black blind people. β
As he spoke, Wei Ling turned around in front of him, showing off the male black bear skin on his body.
"Black blind?"
"It's what you call a black bear. β
"So it's a bear. β
"You can't be that you haven't seen a bear before, right?"
Yiyi shook his head.
It's also said that black bears are something that ordinary people can see casually, and besides, there are many things that have never been seen before.
"Why is the hall so quiet? Haven't they even gotten up yet?"
The brigadiers have one day a week off, and today is the time.
"Qi Feng is reading in his room, I don't know if I get up or not, I plan to send him two leather jackets later. β
Speaking of Qiguang, he once remembered that he and he were both from the south, and he also wanted to see how this southerner spent this winter, "Let's go, I'll go with you to see Qiguang." β
He and Wei Ling knocked in front of the door of the light for a long time, but when no one came to answer the door, they opened the door and went in.
"You guy, you sleep like a dead pig, you shouldn't be called anymore?"
Qiguang was still in the quilt, and it was so cold that he covered his head.
As soon as I pulled away the quilt, I saw that Xiaoguang's face was a little pale, as if he was sick.
"What's wrong with you?"
Qiguang heard the voice, opened his eyes narrowly, and saw Wei Ling and the others standing in front of him, "What are you going to do?"
"What's the matter? I'm here to get you some clothes, get up and try them out. β
Qiguang felt a little dizzy and weak, and his speech was a little slurred.
Once he reached out and touched his forehead, he felt slightly hot, "Are you suffering from the cold? β
Wei Ling also stretched out his hand to test it, "Is it hot?"
This time, he reached out again.
"It's hot, I don't believe you'll touch it again. β
"Hmm...... Still don't feel anything. β
Seeing that Wei Ling and the two kept touching his face back and forth, Qiguang couldn't help but shout at the two, "Take away your calloused hands, my face hurts." β
Because of the excessive force, Qiguang couldn't hold back his cough twice, and coughed all the snot on the two of them.
"Heyββ, you have to be in danger quickly. β
"Me too. β
"You! I'm almost angry with you, get out of here quickly, don't bother me, I want to recuperate!"
After speaking, Qiguang covered the quilt and buried his head in the quilt.
"Look, I'm just saying he's sick. β
"But when I see this spirit, it's not like it. β
"You guys!"
Qiguang punched the two of them out and closed the door.
Once and Wei Ling were originally joking, it seems that this time they have provoked the flames.
"What should I do this time?"
"Forehead ......"
Qi Feng heard the movement in the room, went out to check the situation, and saw the two gray-faced appearances, knowing that they must be in trouble.
"What's wrong with the light?"
"He seems to have suffered from the wind and cold, and he is feeling a little unwell. β
"What else?"
"Also, we just ......."
"If you don't say it, I know that you must be annoying people, right? Hey, when people are sick, it's best not to disturb people. β
may have a feeling of guilt in his heart, and once he and Wei Ling decided to go out and grab a few cold medicine for Qiguang to come back, to see if they could make up for it.
"You go early and come back early, I will take care of the light first. β
"Then it's hard Brother Qifeng. β
"Anything, it's all brothers who live under one roof. β
Qi Feng's bland words, on this cold morning, played a particularly heart-warming effect.
Qiguang also heard this, in fact, he wasn't angry just now, but he was a little dizzy and irritable when he was sick.
As the saying goes, rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out, and you really don't understand until you rely on your friends.
In winter, the crowds on the streets have become very small, and some of the stalls with breakfast have not yet closed, and the steaming heat from the steamers increases people's appetite.
"Wei Ling, you give me this black blind skin, I'll invite you to eat breakfast. β
"Hmph, just these few steamed buns want to repay our favor?"
"Then, how about I treat you to another bowl of noodles?"
"Add a bowl of meat!"
"No problem, let's go. β
When it comes to eating, both of them have completely forgotten what they are going to do on this trip.
Once ordered steamed buns and steamed pork at another stall, and sat down with Wei Ling at the noodle stall.
There were a few Hu people sitting at a table in the noodle stall, and they noticed the beast skin jackets worn by Yi Chao and Wei Ling, thinking that they were hunters, so they sat down and talked.
"Two little brothers, I see that you are wearing very beautiful leather jackets, where did you buy them?"
Wei Ling was too simple, and when he heard that others were praising his leather jackets for their good looks, he told them that these were the prey leather jackets he had hunted.
Seeing that these people were not from the Central Plains, they were more or less guarded.
"Your black bear fur is black and smooth, and the claws and armor are intact, without losing the ferocity of his life, and you are an expert hunter at first glance. β
Wei Ling smiled and was very proud.
"Of course, we have been hunting in the mountains since we were children, and we have never hunted any flying swimmers? This black blind man is extremely ferocious, but in front of me he is a good dog......
Originally, Wei Ling wanted to brag about his hunting skills, but those Hu people were not interested in this, so they interrupted Wei Ling's words and asked, "I have a business here, I wonder if the two strong men are willing to hear about it?"
"Business?"
"Yes, we have a matter that we need the help of strong men like the two of you. β
It turns out that these Hu people have something to ask for, no wonder they are so enthusiastic to come over to talk.
Once they tested each other first, they were willing to listen to what it was.
"As you can see, we are not from the Central Plains, we are Hu people from Saibei. β
"Well, and then what?"
"I heard that there is a spirit fox on Qinghua Mountain outside Chang'an City, and our leader has a soft spot for this spirit fox's leather jacket, and it is about to be cold again, so I want to ask you to help us hunt a few spirit foxes on Qinghua Mountain, so that we can make a new leather jacket for our leader. β
"We've seen a lot of exotic beasts since we were kids, and we've fought a lot of red foxes and grass foxes, but we've just heard what you say, what kind of spirit fox?"
"Oh, it's the white fox. Maybe the white fox is a beast in the eyes of your Central Plains people, but in our Saibei, the white fox is spiritual, and the jacket made of its skin has the effect of warding off evil spirits. β
Compared with the spirit fox, he paid more attention to the identity of their Hu people, "You said that you are Hu people from the north, naturally all of them are experts in hunting, just a few foxes, why do you want to trouble us to do it?"
The Hu people could also see that they were wary of them for a while, but they still did not change their kind and kind smiles, and they told them that Chang'an City had been under martial law for foreigners in the past few days, and it was a little inconvenient for them to enter and leave the city.
Although the identity of the enemy has not been fully ascertained, the imperial court and the Yin and Yang provincial departments have also adopted some necessary defensive measures, including strict investigation of foreigners entering and leaving the city, limiting the number and time limit of their entry and exit from the city.
"You can rest assured, although we are not from Middle-earth, but in recent years, we have often traveled back and forth between Saibei and Chang'an, and we are serious businessmen, and every time we come to Chang'an, we will come to the stall here, and we have a friendship with several stall owners here for more than ten years......
As he spoke, a few of the small vendors here took a trick to dispel any suspicions that their motives were impure.
The small vendors also said that these Hu people are their regular customers here for more than ten years, and they will come to this village for a few days every year to do business in Chang'an.
Looking at these Hu people, they do look like businessmen, and the Central Plains dialect is very authentic, if it weren't for the fact that they were wearing the unique clothes of the Hu people, others would not have recognized their identities.
