"My brother is like a dragon in the sky, and he goes out to heaven when he has nothing to do. My sister is like a bunch of flowers on the ground, so delicate and tender that it hurts..." A ghost-like slang song came from the sky, causing people on the ground to look up one after another.
Wu Gen sat on the holly bird, feeling relaxed and drinking while looking at the scenery around him.
In the distance, there are continuous green mountains, undulating grass on the ground, cattle and sheep dotted among them, and the Hanruo River winding like silver in the blue field. It is a great mountain and river. _o_m
After flying in the sky for the first time, Wu Gen finally understood why some people like mountain climbing so much.
Human beings are not born to wear shackles and crawl on the ground. Even the humble people struggling in the mire still have the longing to spread their wings and fly in the sky.
Only from such a high place can we know the vastness of the world and the beauty of the mountains and rivers, and we are no longer afraid of the floating clouds covering our eyes.
Standing here, you can also leave the worldly things behind for a short time, escape from the mortal world under your feet, no longer have to live in a shelter, and just want to be free in the white clouds.
The cold wind blew by, and his long black hair flew back. Wu Gen closed his eyes slightly, stretched out one hand, and raised the broken knife high with the other, breathing in the unruly breath greedily.
While he was enjoying himself, suddenly a ball of white stuff smeared on his face. Surprised, he stretched out his hand and wiped it, only to find a ball of black and white bird droppings. High above, several cloud cranes were flying by Shi Shiran. From time to time it lowers its head and chirps a few times, as if laughing at the ugly behavior of one person and one bird.
"Holly, you useless thing, catch up with me, I'm going to roast them." Wu Gen shouted hoarsely, pointing the knife at his head, and the carefreeness and joy he had felt just now were gone.
You have reached such a high place and were pooped and pissed on in front of you. You don't bully others like this. The key is that you are being bullied by a bird. How can you bear it?
The holly bird lazily refused to respond. Along the way, just as Mu said, the bird sometimes woke up and realized that Wu Gen was not its master, so it thought about running away.
After greeting him several times with a bone stick, Holly Bird didn't know whether he accepted his fate or was knocked unconscious, but finally continued to move forward according to Wu Gen's order.
"If you catch up with these stinky birds, I won't ask for a hair. I'll give them all to you, and I'll give you a big leg of cow." Seeing that threats were useless, he had no choice but to lure them with heavy rewards.
"Gah." With a loud cry, the holly bird suddenly accelerated and flew straight upward, almost throwing Wu Gen off the bird's back. After a while, black and white bird feathers fell from the sky.
In the evening, on an unnamed mountain top, Wu Gen was carefully roasting a bird leg, and while roasting, he carefully brushed it with wild honey. The rich fragrance wafted far away. The holly bird stared intently at the meat in Wu Gen's hand. This was the tenth bird leg it had eaten.
During the day, holly chased the passing birds like crazy, stimulated by the heavy rewards or driven by a competitive spirit. One person and one bird cooperate with each other, constantly hunting birds that dare to be ahead and on top along the way. While waiting for a break, more than a dozen bird carcasses were placed behind Wu Gen.
Wu Gen naturally knew rewards and punishments, kept his promise, and gave all the birds he caught to the holly bird. This actually shortened the distance with it, and he did not tie it with a rope when resting at night to prevent it from escaping.
Five days later, Wu Gen squinted on the bird's back and looked at the map carefully. Further ahead, it is Zhao Guoxiong and Guan Yan who return to the pass. As we approached the Zhao Kingdom, it was not that there were no Beirong people who came by bird to inquire about it, but when they saw the long purple ribbon around Dongqing's neck, they turned around and turned back. This is a sign of a noble person and should not be disturbed.
Wu Gen looked at Yan Hui Guan's shining crossbow from a distance and the strange bird parked on the wall. The shape was similar to the one that King Jinchun's secret guard used to ride, so he gave up and flew straight across Guan City and back to the mainland. idea.
There is holly in Beirong. Doesn't Zhao have a corresponding method? It's possible that as soon as he gets close, he, including people and birds, will be shot into a sieve.
Letting Dongqing fly lower, Wu Gen turned around and entered a stretch of mountains. The terrain here was steep and there should not be much defensive force. Landing on a slightly lower mountain top, Wu Gen jumped off the bird's back.
He tied the package filled with meat around the bird's neck and patted Holly's bird's head to indicate that it could return.
Dongqing was stunned for a moment and did not take off immediately. Wu Gen shook his arm twice and pointed in the direction of Beirong. The holly bird finally understood what Wu Gen meant, and there was a look of reluctance in the slender bird's eyes.
These days, Wu Gen always left the best and fattest meat to this big bird. Apart from.
The bone stick was used more frequently in the first two days, but the rest of the time they got along very harmoniously. Compared with the past, when the driver waited on the driver all day long, it was obviously much more comfortable.
Wu Gen patted his neck and pointed to the sky again. This bird can choose to return to Ye Ziming, or it can freely choose to go elsewhere. He must not keep this bird by his side, otherwise he will harm it and himself.
The holly bird nuzzled Wu Gen affectionately with its head, then suddenly walked to the side and lay down in the grass. Wu Gen wondered whether this big bird could not leave. I saw the holly bird's neck standing straight up, the green feathers on its neck spreading out, and its body shaking constantly, as if it was in great pain.
Not knowing the reason, Wu Gen stepped forward and gently comforted the bird. Regardless of whether the bird understood it or not, he carefully explained why he couldn't take it away. Suddenly, the holly bird stood up again, left the grass, and pulled Wu Gen's clothes with its beak to signal.
Looking down, I saw a huge white bird egg lying quietly in the grass.
The holly bird's eyes softened, and it gently touched the eggshell with its long beak, and quacked a few times at Wu Gen.
Wu Gen looked confused and reached out to pick up the bird eggs. The egg was the size of a plate, still warm, and heavy in the hand. The holly bird came over, leaned against Wu Gen, rubbed its head lightly on the egg a few times, and then turned to look at Wu Gen.
Suddenly, Wu Gen understood the meaning of the holly bird, which was to give this egg to him. Wu Gen's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly handed the egg to the big bird beside him.
The holly bird became angry and screamed loudly at Wu Gen. It kept waving its claws on its chest, as if asking Wu Gen to take responsibility. Then, the big bird flapped its wings and flew straight into the air.
Wu Gen was completely anxious and rushed after him with the egg in his hands, "Stop, how can a parent abandon his heir? Take the egg away quickly. Besides, I'm not married yet, so I don't know how to raise it." The last time I took Chu Ji with me, I was already very tired. Another baby had to shed another layer of skin.
The holly bird circled twice above Wu Gen's head. With a long cry, it flew high into the sky and flew away towards Juechen in the distance. ..
Wu Gen was about to cry but had no tears. He pointed at Holly Bird's back and cursed: "I just rode you for a few days. It's not my fault. How can I still rely on you? Why should I be responsible?" Bah. Bah, why are these words so awkward?
"If you don't take it away, I will smash the egg. I will keep my word." Wu Gen raised the egg high and threatened loudly to the sky. But after shouting for a long time, there was still silence and no response.
Sitting on the ground, he couldn't help but sigh, with a sad look on his face. I lifted the egg several times and wanted to throw it down, but I put it down gently. On weekdays, I find bird eggs in the mountains and have already cooked them. But my mother had just entrusted her children to her, so she really couldn't bear to be so cruel.
"Keep it up." A voice sounded, startling Wu Gen. It turned out to be Mu who had woken up.
"Although the beast is not intelligent, its consciousness is very sharp. This bird probably also feels that you are a good person, so it reluctantly entrusted its heir to you. Otherwise, in Beirong, this egg would have been laid by People take it away, either as a war bird or as a vehicle, and be enslaved by others. This bird is very smart, so just break its teeth and swallow it." Mu jumped to the egg and teased Wu Gen.
Mu's words are not nonsense. Wu Gen is a bit dissolute, cynical, and a bit gangster on weekdays, but he is still quite affectionate and considerate to those close to him without losing his loyalty.
The eggshell of the holly bird is quite hard and makes a clanging sound when knocked. Come to think of it, the descendants of this warbird are not so delicate. Despite this, Wu Gen still carefully wrapped the bird eggs in his clothes for fear of dropping them. @·无码first~~ I looked at the stars that had poked their heads out early in the sky, then turned around and headed south.
Three days later, Wu Gen emerged from the vast mountain with a bulging belly, like a woman who was pregnant in seven months. Holly's egg was placed in his arms so that he could use his own body temperature to hatch the annoying egg earlier.
After all, it was inconvenient to carry this egg with me, and I was helpless even in fighting those ferocious beasts in the mountains. At this time, Wu Gen understood why those people in the world who had children lost their vigor as soon as they had children around their knees. They were afraid of rushing in and hid in the world.
It’s not that I’ve lost my blood, but that my heart has something to care for, my heart has love, and my heart has some worries. Homes, large and small, are actually like the holly bird's eggs, which cannot withstand too much external force. Hope is in this thin shell.
Appear ahead.
Entering the village, people were walking back and forth. Walking on the land of Zhao again, although it has not been long ago, it feels like a world away.
After asking about it, I found out that this was Yunzhong County of Zhao State, which was thousands of miles away from Fuli, the capital city, but in two directions from Bao'an County. After hesitating for a while, Wu Gen decided to go to the capital first.
Choosing to go to the capital, when he said goodbye to Zhu Qianhua that day, he said that he would return to the capital with his father Zhu Buzhan soon.
Secondly, Gao Cheng once said that in order to capture him, he almost turned the entire capital upside down, which aroused the suspicion of the current emperor. There is no room for others to come to the side of the bed. Thinking about how the current emperor would allow King Jinchun's men to lurk in the capital, it is actually much safer.
Having made up his mind, Wu Gen crossed the county and headed towards Fuli City.
On this day, Wu Gen came to a large river. This river was named Yishui, and it was a famous river in Zhao State. The river is very wide and requires a ferry to pass. After practicing the magic of magic for so long, Wu Gen can now walk more than twenty steps on water. But looking at the huge waves in the river, Wu Gen still went to find the ferry.
This place is not densely populated, and it took me a long time to find a ferry.
The ferry is called Taoye Ferry. According to legend, a woman fell into the river and died. The woman's nickname was Taoye, and the name of the ferry came from this.
Every early spring, peach trees bloom all over the mountains and fields here, and the petals float down in the wind and fall into mud, making the ferry intoxicating with the fragrance of flowers. Some officials and wealthy people came here to play, or they recruited a group of poets and literati to pay tribute to the poor woman whose fragrance soul had fallen.
Although the scenery here is beautiful, whether you want to cross the river or have fun, you have to go to the Peach Blossom Temple on a hill next to it, and enter the temple to worship the statue of the Peach Leaf Empress.
Otherwise, the river would be rippled, and the boat would be pushed back to the shore. Some of them would be angry and curse a few words, and maybe they would fall into the river and drown for no apparent reason. Or people who are playing may feel as if they have been hit by an evil spirit. They are stunned and lose their minds. They go to the temple to ask for the peach leaf water and drink it to recover.
Every year on the anniversary of a woman's death, scholars are not allowed to enter the temple. It is said that a frivolous scholar wrote an erotic poem in the temple in the past, which angered the Taoye Empress.
Especially on days when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the rules cannot be violated. It is said that the empress is patrolling the river in golden body at this time. If you don't bow, the boatman and others won't let you get on the boat, so as not to harm others.
Listening to the chatter of the boatman on the shore and looking at the peach blossoms blooming all over the mountain, Wu Gen had no choice but to go to the countryside and do as the Romans did and pay a visit to the Peach Leaf Lady. .
