In the early autumn of the prairie, the wind and sun are beautiful, and the sky is high and the clouds are light. Under the setting sun, the blue sky flew over rows of geese flying south.

The autumn grass on the ground, which is more than one person high, is yellow and green, and is dotted with countless autumn flowers of various colors, radiating a sweet fragrance.

Suddenly, a fat and frightened gray rabbit sprang out of the dense thatch, and ran away with joy.

"Whoosh-" An arrow sounded, and a mysterious sharp arrow flew out of nowhere, and the big gray rabbit that flew quickly over, fell in a pool of blood in response to the arrow, and kicked his legs and whimpered......

"Fluttering-" At the moment when the gray rabbit ran just now, a flock of pheasants with beautiful feathers flew in another thatch.

"Whoosh-swish-" Two more arrows rang out, and the two pheasants, one male and one female, were hit by the arrows and slid down.

"Whoa—" A young man pulled away a clump of elm hair, and sprang out of it, quickly picking up the hare and two pheasants, and a smile appeared on his young, black-red face.

I saw that the young man was sixteen or seventeen years old, neither fat nor thin, more than eight feet tall, holding a steel fork more than two feet long in one hand, a bow and arrows in the other, and an arrow bag and a worn-out wolfskin schoolbag on his back. He wore a short gray coarse cloth coat with sheepskin shoulders, a pair of black trousers, leg bindings below the knees, and a pair of cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles. On his head, thick and long black hair, which was more than half a foot long, spread out like steel needles, covering his ears and forehead, but not covering a pair of bright and sharp eyes, and the black and red face.

He was in good spirits, and with a shake of the steel fork, he picked up the prey on the top of the steel fork, and then flashed a pair of big eyes, and looked at the flock of pheasants that flew away, and spread his legs and walked up like a fly.

However, the pheasants suddenly disappeared from his sight. The boy ran to the reeds beside a puddle of water and stopped. Suspecting that the pheasants were hiding in it, he put down the steel fork in his hand, and with his bow and arrows in hand, he quietly approached the reeds step by step......

The young man glanced at the dense reeds alertly, walked in and searched for a while, and suddenly heard a "fluttering ......" sound, and a flock of pheasants flew not far from him!

The boy hurriedly bent his bow and arrows, and was just about to launch, when something unexpected happened!

Not far from him, in the reeds less than 20 paces, a steppe wolf blinked a pair of cunning little mung bean eyes, opened its bloody mouth, stared at the boy fiercely for a moment, and then pounced on the boy!

"Huh?" the young man shouted in surprise, stunned for a moment, and then immediately calmed down, sneered slightly, and did not dodge, seemingly unhurried, but in fact he turned the direction of the bow and arrow very quickly, and suddenly pulled the bow, aimed at the bloody mouth of the steppe wolf, and was about to be launched!

At this critical moment, suddenly a woman screamed outside the reeds: "Brother Erhu! Brother Erhu! Are you hunting here? Come back quickly! Something has happened to our family! Something has happened to our family...... Two Tiger Brothers...... Two Tiger Brothers......"

The woman's screams were deafening like a thunderbolt from the sky! The young man was stunned and shocked, and almost dropped the bow and arrow in his hand to the ground.

At this time, the hungry steppe wolf was also startled, roared at the young man, and quickly stopped the attack, and the front legs that jumped up suddenly fell to the grass, and actually smashed out two and a half feet deep dirt pits!

The boy suddenly heard the woman's scream, and his heart was confused, but his hands still held the bow and arrow tightly and retreated, and he had no heart to hunt wolves.

The steppe wolf seemed to see that the boy was not a trifled hunter, and roared at him again, quickly turning his head and burrowing into the thick reeds beside him.

Seeing this, the young man sweated, relaxed his tense mood to the extreme, and hurriedly ran out of the reeds, shouting loudly: "Sister Xinghua! Sister Xinghua! I'm here—I'm here—I'm here—"

The sound of the urn was like the ringing of a bell, which shook people's hearts, pushing the air to produce a huge sound wave, and the empty prairie resounded for a long time......

This young man was Zheng Erhu who was shouted by the woman, he ran out of the reeds, saw Xinghua running towards this side, and shouted from afar: "Sister, how did you find here?"

Xinghua saw that her brother came out, her face showed a hint of surprise, and she hurriedly ran over, so tired that she couldn't breathe, her face was crimson, and beads of sweat were dripping......

At this time, just a touch of the blood-red afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on her slightly thin but very healthy and ruddy cheeks, which looked even more beautiful and colorful, charming and moving!

However, Erhu didn't have time to pay attention to her beauty, and asked again, "What's wrong with our family?"

Xinghua flashed a pair of big dark and bright eyes, and said eagerly: "Brother, you often hunt here after school, can I not know the way?"

"Sister, don't worry, say slowly, what's wrong with our family?"

"Come home, our mother has been bullied!"

"Ah, who bullied our mother?" Zheng Erhu's heavy eyebrows condensed into a pimple, and he said eagerly: "Go, go back quickly!"

"Honeysuckle, the eldest wife of the big landlord Liu Zihao, let's go, you will know the way when you go back. ”

"That's good!" Zheng Erhu said, hurriedly picked up the steel fork and prey on the ground, and whistled in a long voice with an angry mouth: "Woo-"

Suddenly, a jujube red horse galloped from somewhere, and came to Zheng Erhu magically.

I saw that the red horse was covered in a fiery red color, except for a white fur in the shape of a large heart on the head of the head, there was almost no half of the miscellaneous hair, and the horse had a saddle and a wolf skin bag for prey.

Xinghua said: "Brother, you go first, our mother may be in danger!"

Zheng Erhu said: "No, it's getting dark, there are many crises on this prairie, there is a wild wolf in the reeds, let's go together, get on the horse quickly!"

"But, brother, I don't know how to ride a horse, it's better for you to go first, it's important to save people!"

"No, sister, there's no time, I'll help you get on the horse, quick!"

As he spoke, he picked up the apricot blossom and put it on the horse's back, and then he jumped over, leaped to the horse's back, hugged the willow waist of the apricot blossom tightly, clamped his legs hard, and the jujube red horse chirped a few times in "gray ashes", and galloped towards the small lonely mountain!

"Trampling and ......" the jujube red horse kicked open with four hooves, stepping on the red and green alkali grass in early autumn, and galloped on the prairie with a smoke, I don't know how many pheasants in the grass were frightened, and how many foraging hares were scared away!

However, Zheng Erhu had no time to pay attention to these birds and beasts, and just wanted to return home and see his mother as soon as possible. So, he hurried up, and the red horse galloped all the way......

Xinghua, who was sitting in front of him, was riding a horse for the first time, and if it weren't for her brother holding her waist tightly behind her, she wouldn't dare to ride a horse.

The galloping jujube red horse brought the wind, blowing the two dark and long braids behind the apricot blossom's head to float, parallel to the body of the jujube red horse, and with the galloping horse, chic and rhythmic undulating and wandering......

Seven or eight miles away, in an hour, I returned to the edge of the small lonely mountain village.

At this time, Zheng Erhu's hunter-like ears were extremely sensitive, and he suddenly heard a burst of insults in the village.

"Huh-" He hurriedly grabbed the reins, listened carefully, and was sure that the insulting voices came from his own yard, so he hurriedly picked Xinghua off the horse, handed her the reins of the horse, and said, "Sister is in charge of things!"

Then he spread his legs and ran home!

When he ran to the outside of his wooden fence courtyard, he saw many villagers, men and women, old and young, very noisy surrounding the courtyard for several floors, because the sun was about to set, and it was when his eyes were dark, he could not see very clearly, so he shouted in a loud voice outside the courtyard: "What's the matter? What's wrong with my mother?"

Seeing that no one was talking, he shouted again: "Mother-mother-"

He shouted eagerly as he squeezed in in a panic......
