Chapter 125: Small Border Country
The man silently stared at the two eagle shadows that swooped in, not afraid, not retreating. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the blink of an eye, one of the eagles had come to the top of his head, and grabbed the dagger in the man's hand with one claw, the man waved hard, the dagger flashed with cold light, and at a glance he knew that it was not an idle thing, and the eagle also knew that it was powerful, and the side claws avoided the blade, and the wings opened and closed widely, and a cloud of dust was blown on the ground, enveloping the man.
The man hurriedly closed his eyes to prevent the sand and dust from entering his eyes and affecting his eyesight, but the other eagle was already in the middle of this delay, and the sharp eagle claws grabbed directly at the man's back, and a large piece of flesh and blood had quietly fallen.
The man groaned in pain, waved his dagger and slashed behind him, helplessly losing the support of his vision, and all his movements were like a blind man touching an elephant, smashing into each other.
In an instant, the man's left hand and right foot were imprinted with deep claw marks, and blood was dripping, but the dagger was still tightly held in his hand, protecting his chest.
The man gasped for breath and closed his eyes, an eagle still flapping its wings vigorously to kick up the dust.
The two eagles are ready to attack and assist, with good cooperation, the man's fate is already doomed, and the only thing left is the difference in time.
With a long roar, this is a declaration of victory for the eagle, a warning for the eagle to let the prey enjoy the final blow.
The sound stopped, and a pair of huge claws stretched out, aiming at the strongly beating heart in the man's chest.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and a stone struck Eagle Zhun in the eye with speed and precision, and suddenly Eagle Zhun lost his direction and deviated from the target. Seeing this, the man hurriedly swung his dagger sideways and plunged it into the eagle's back.
There was another long howl to the sky, this time a wail of pain.
Eagle Quasi fell to the ground and tried to get up, but the man had already jumped up and rushed to its back, stabbing it several times, and gradually, Hawk Quasi lost his life and collapsed to the ground.
It all happened so quickly that it was too late for the other eagle to come to its senses, and it hurriedly stopped flapping its wings and rushed towards the man to try to save his companion who was riding under his crotch.
At this moment, another figure appeared in front of it like a ghost, clamping its thick neck with one claw, and suddenly a wave of qi and blood was not smooth, and his whole body was weak, and he fell to the ground.
At this time, the man had completely killed the injured eagle, turned his head to see this change, and without saying a word, he raised the knife, and the dagger was plunged straight into the heart, and finally, the desert grassland was quiet again.
"Thank you to this strong man for saving his life. The man drew his dagger and bowed his hand to a pot.
"You're welcome, but brother, you are so badly injured, is there any serious problem with your body?" Seeing that the man was covered in blood, he asked with concern.
"Eh, what is this skin injury, we have been crawling and rolling in this desert steppe for so many years, and one day has not lived under the claws of this fierce beast and bird of prey. The man smiled heartily, picked up the dagger and simply peeled off the fur of the eagle, tied the two together, threw them on his back, and said to Yiju and Yu Muyan with a smile: "Go, two strong men, go to my house and sit down, and let me treat you well." ”
The three of them walked and chatted on the road, and the man's name was Batu, who was actually the prince of a small border country ten miles away from here, and had two relatives in the family, one was the current king Bauta, and the other was his sister Bayar.
After a short time, Batu led the two to this small country, which was nominally a country, but in fact it was just a small city in the desert steppe.
Stepping into the city gate, the surrounding residents stepped forward to greet Batu, which shows that he is deeply loved by the people.
The town is not big, and there is a main road leading from the city gate to the royal palace in the center of the city, which is said to be the royal palace, but in fact it is just a slightly larger house.
"Abu (father), I'm back. Stepping through the door, Batu shouted happily.
"Aha (brother), you're back. At this time, Batu's father did not answer, but ran out of a young girl.
The girl saw the scratches on Batu's body at a glance, screamed, and hurriedly pulled him to sit down, took out the wound medicine from his body, and smeared it.
"Aha, why do you get injured like this every time you come back from hunting, and if you don't care about your body so much, you won't be able to find your wife. The girl bandaged Batu's wound and complained.
Batu smiled, and introduced the two of them to a pot, and the girl was Batu's own sister Bayar.
After tending to the wounds, Bayar carefully examined the two of them, and when he saw that they were dressed strangely, he asked curiously: "Look at your appearance, you are from the big country to the south of us, what are you doing here with us?"
"Miss Bayar, the two of us are just travelers from all over the world, and we happened to come to disturb the Batu brothers when we were passing through this desert steppe. He laughed at a pot.
"Are all the people over there so literate? Going around, in fact, Aha invited you home for a meal, just say it directly, then I'll cook and cook, you can sit and rest for a while." With that, Bayard ordered the two eagles to be picked up and walked to the kitchen.
Watching Bayar leave, Yu Muyan asked Batu strangely, "Aren't you a dignified palace here?"
Batu laughed and said: "We are only a small border country here, and Abu was not born as a king, I heard him say that it was when he was young that he gathered a lot of hard-working people to flee here and settle down here to finally establish such a small city, and then established such a kingdom, and Abu was chosen as the king after being loved by everyone." Therefore, we are not like your big countries, where there are many subordinates to serve, we are equal to the people in the city, and we are all responsible for all the food, clothing, shelter and transportation ourselves. ”
When I thought of the magnificence of the Forbidden City in the Celestial Empire, I sighed lightly and kept silent.
At this time, an old man came in from outside the house, his face solemn and his brows furrowed.
"Abu, are you back?" said Batu when he saw the old man.
"Well, it's Batu, can you go well in the hunt?" Hearing Batu's voice, the old man came back to his senses and asked him.
"Thanks to the help of the two strong men over there, I had a good harvest today and captured two giant eagles. Batu said proudly.
"Oh, yes. As he spoke, Bauta's eyes were fixed on the two of them.
When their eyes swept over themselves, they both felt a kind warmth.
"The two of you are from the Central Plains, right? We haven't been from the Central Plains for a long time in our small town, come and come, we must stay here at night, let us have a good treat." Bauta led the two into the reception room and instructed Batu to serve the Central Plains tea collected that year for the two to taste.
Yu Muyan sighed in her heart: This time she really went out to meet a nobleman, and she didn't expect that the Bauta family not only did not have the slightest emperor's shelf, but was also so hospitable, which was really very different from her previous perception of a high-ranking and powerful person. It seems that this is a good place, maybe my brother and I can choose to stay here permanently.
At this time, it is the same mood to drink a pot, in this small border country above the desert, few others visit, it is really like a paradise, and it is the best hiding place for the two of them to avoid pursuit. With such a benevolent king, it is not impossible to think that he will die here in the future.
Bauta, father and son, accompanied by a pot of wine and chatted with Yu Muyan, and before they knew it, it was time for dinner.
At the dinner table, Bayard introduced his craft like a treasure, in the center was a large plate of roasted eagle meat, and on the side were various pots of plants from the desert steppe that the two had never seen.
The two of them, who had not eaten a meal for many days, couldn't resist the temptation to enjoy themselves in the face of such a mouth-watering delicacy, watching the two gobble up, the Bauta family laughed, and said that they didn't panic when they ate slowly, and there was not enough, just like that, the five of them spent a pleasant night in joy.
At night in the desert grassland, the temperature plummets, the animals take refuge in their nests in search of warmth, and the plants on the ground also gather their branches and leaves for the night.
In the distance, a bonfire was lit in a clearing, several tents were set up on the ground, and a group of people gathered in front of them eating leg of lamb and drinking spirits.
"General, how much food do you think you can get from going to Nabauta this time?" asked one of the people in the crowd towards the man at the head.
"Hmph, they have to give as much as we want! Otherwise, we will destroy them all, and a mere city of projectiles will be enough for a dozen of us. The leader took a sip of the liquor and laughed.
"That is, the general is the first fierce general of our Khan to sit down, just such a group of wine bags and rice bags, of course, they are captured, come, general, drink. ”
"Hahahaha, that's, that's, the general's prestige, who doesn't hear the wind and run away. ”
"Hahahaha......"
A cold wind hung quietly on the calm grassland, rolling the dust and flying towards the town. (To be continued.) )
