Chapter 229: The Truth on the Prairie

After listening to Yun Gang's report, Sima He praised Yun Gang a few words and said: "Gang'er, you have done a good job this time, and you should report this credit to the head of the family for the teacher, and give you a great credit." ”

"Master, the apprentice still doesn't understand, since we already know that this person is a spy, why don't we arrest him first, and reveal this news to him?" Yun Gang said a little strangely.

"You don't need to know about this matter for the time being, but you will naturally understand it in the future. Okay, that's the end of this matter, don't mention it again in the future, and when your senior brother Kong comes back, you will understand everything. Sima He smiled.

Yun Gang rarely saw Sima He selling Guanzi, so he knew that it might be a big matter, so he agreed: "Disciple understands." Then he took his leave.

Sima He sighed, took out the transmission array disk, wrote a few words and sent them out, then walked out of the main hall and walked around Lingji Mountain to have a look.

Kong Rui stayed in the mountains for two days, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, although he showed some mana fluctuations, but the spirit master behind him did not directly chase him, if they came to chase and kill him, why not follow him, but first move his martial arts in the back, is it some kind of accident?

Thinking of this, Kong Rui felt that maybe he was a soldier, but in fact it was not like the situation at that time, and at that time he was simply a frightened bird, and it was normal to lose his judgment for a while, so he decided to leave the mountains and slowly walk towards the land of the Great Yan.

Of course, Kong Rui would not go south directly, and he was worried that the large bubble would need to go around by himself, so he decided to go all the way to the west, and then choose the opportunity to go south, so that he could return to the land of Dayan.

After walking for a few more days, in the afternoon of this day, Kong Rui found a large grassland on the edge of the grassland, where the sky was high and cloudy, and the snow on the ground had long since melted, replaced by large green grass, and from time to time some shepherds could be seen riding horses, driving their sheep out to graze.

The sun was already in the west, Kong Rui looked at the blue sky and white clouds, the green grassland, the white sheep, and from time to time he could faintly hear the melodious sound of the horse-head piano from a distance, and he couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy, and he forgot his identity as an exile, so he walked forward.

The herdsmen on the grassland were extremely bold and hospitable, and when they saw Kong Rui coming out of the mountain alone, dressed in tatters, thinking that he was a person who had fallen in distress in the mountains, a person immediately rode up to meet him, and asked Kong Rui: "This friend, what do you think of you coming out of the mountains, do you need any help?"

Kong Rui saw that this man was in his thirties and looked extremely simple, and he wanted to ask him something, so he pretended to be a hunter and said, "Thank you to this eldest brother, I was hunting in the mountains, and there was some accident, so I escaped from the mountains alone." ”

The man saw that Kong Rui was indeed the one who was in distress, so he said to Kong Rui: "Friend, please wait a moment. Immediately a whistle sounded in his mouth, and he saw a red horse running in the distance.

The man said to Kong Rui: "My friend should be able to ride a horse, go to my house to rest first." ”

Kong Rui hurriedly said, "Thank you, big brother." Then he also got on his horse, and ran with the man towards a yurt.

Along the way, the man introduced that his name was Barn, and he was grazing in this area with several herdsmen, Kong Rui naturally said that his name was Lin Rui, and after walking all the way, the two were like old friends who talked about everything.

Kong Rui still wanted to know the situation of the scheming people in this area, so he asked, "Brother Ba, have any scritters been here?"

Bahn said: "I heard that the official family said that this area is under the jurisdiction of the Yiqian people, but these have nothing to do with us ordinary people, and we only pay so many sheep every year, and I just heard that the friends who raise horses seem to have suffered a little, and they have turned in a lot more horses." ”

When Kong Rui heard this, it sounded good when he thought of it, as long as there were few people to disturb, the life of the common people would still be very good.

There is also an old mother in the Barn family, and his Hun family and two children are also very hospitable, and when they saw Kong Rui coming, they all came up to say hello, and then they went their own ways.

In the evening, Barn gathered the sheep near the yurt, hurried home for dinner, and was about to go out again, and before leaving, he said to Kong Rui: "Brother Lin, you live in the yurt first, and I will go out to keep vigil." ”

As soon as Kong Rui heard this, he knew that they were going out to guard their flocks to prevent them from being eaten by wolves or some wild beasts, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Ba, I am from Orion, and there is no problem in dealing with wild wolves, so it is better for me to go with you." ”

Barn was also polite and said, "It's okay, then it's troublesome Brother Lin." ”

It turned out that these shepherds were guarding their flocks together, and they made fires nearby to scare away the wolves, and each family had sheepdogs, which could also warn them in advance.

Bath and Kong Rui also made a fire, and the two chatted around the fire.

Barn said to Kong Rui: "Brother Lin should know that there are a lot of wild wolves in this early spring season, and many sheep are lost in this season almost every year. ”

"Yes, it's just that they're afraid of fire, but it's easy to deal with. Kong Rui nodded hurriedly.

"It's going to rain tonight, and I'm afraid it's going to be hard for the rest of the night. Barn looked up at the sky and saw that more and more dark clouds were concentrating, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

"The little brother's bow and arrows have been lost, but the big brother's bow is still very good to use. Kong Rui gently pulled the bow that he had brought out of Barn's house.

Barn smiled, took a sip of his wine bag, and handed it to Kong Rui, "Come, brother, take a sip." ”

Kong Rui was not polite, and raised the wine bag and took a big sip.

Sure enough, before midnight, I heard the barking of sheepdogs one after another, and wolves had already surrounded them, but after all, they were still very afraid of fire, and they did not dare to approach, but they were hidden in the darkness far away, and they could only see a pair of green eyes.

Kong Rui was naturally not afraid of this pack of wolves, but he saw that Barn was a little nervous. Kong Rui is still a little strange, they shepherds should be used to this, why is he still nervous?

It was only after a while that Kong Rui knew the reason for Barn's nervousness: the sky suddenly began to rain heavily, and the fire in the fire was much smaller.

Bath put out a lot of open fires, and put a felt stand on the fire in the hope that the fire would not be extinguished soon, and when Bath's Hun family and his eldest son saw the rain, they also rushed over in felt, hoping to help Bath take care of the fire, and Bath was ready to carry a pine torch and move around to drive away the wolves.

The wolves in the distance saw that the fire was much smaller, and they slowly approached a lot, and the sheepdogs kept barking, and Barne's expression became much more nervous.

Seeing how difficult this shepherd's life was, Kong Rui couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in his heart, so he drew an arrow, bent his bow and shot it at a wolf.

Barn knew that something was wrong when Kong Rui was about to shoot an arrow, this bow and arrow was very familiar to him, and he couldn't shoot so accurately at this distance, and it was still in the dark night, Kong Rui was simply wasting arrows by doing this, but where did he think that as soon as Kong Rui's arrow was shot, he heard the howl of a wolf, and he knew that the wolf had been shot to death when he heard the scream.

It turned out that Kong Rui also knew that he couldn't shoot those wolves with this bow and arrow alone, so he secretly used enough mana on that arrow, and the bow was just a pretense, and he shot a wolf to death in one fell swoop. Hearing the wolf's miserable howl, the wolves suddenly became restless, but they did not retreat, only listened to Barn and said: "Brother Lin is really good at archery, but there are too many wolves, and you can't kill them all." ”

"As long as Big Brother Ba has enough arrows, Little Brother can still shoot a few more. Kong Rui smiled.

"Wolves are also good things, and they can't be killed more than they help our shepherds. Barn said.

Kong Rui was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "This little brother doesn't understand." ”

"Brother Lin is a hunter, unlike us. Where there are wolves, there are fewer weasels, and if the pastures grow, our sheep are better to raise; if there are no wolves, the pastures are full of weasels, and the grass is gone, and our sheep will not be able to raise them. Barn explained.

Kong Rui seemed to understand a little, but he could see that Barn was a little opposed to him shooting the wolf, so he had to put down his bow and arrows and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"We just want to protect our sheep from being taken away, and if they can't eat them, they can only catch weasels, which is better for us." ”

Kong Rui nodded, and like Barn, he picked up a torch and drove the wolves around.

There may have been wolves shot, and all the shepherds were very well guarded, and before dawn the wolves retreated, and the shepherds had nothing to lose, and everyone was very happy.
