After eating, they packed up and hit the road. The knight wanted to put Huang Yi's backpack on the horse, but Huang Yi refused.
The three pieces of yellow sheepskin used as mattresses can be placed on the horse's back, as can a dozen kilograms of dried mutton, but not the traveling bag, and the engineer's shovel and crossbow cannot be left behind.
After losing more than 20 kilograms of weight, Huang Yi felt as light as a swallow. There was wind under his feet when he walked, which made the knight admire him.
The knight is bow-legged. If he were like Huang Yi, he would have fallen down from exhaustion long ago.
After walking for another two days, probably more than two hundred miles, the knight seemed to be in good spirits.
This man had an unkempt beard and a pungent smell. Huang Yi couldn't tell his age at all. He could only tell that he was quite tall, probably about 1.8 meters tall, and quite strong.
The knight seemed to like the plastic bottle filled with orange juice, and looked at the sun through the plastic bottle filled with boiling water.
He obviously had two leather water bladders, but every time he drank water from a plastic bottle, and he was having a lot of fun while drinking.
Books often say that herdsmen on the ancient prairie liked shiny things, and it turned out to be true.
Huang Yi found it funny to see that this mighty-looking knight couldn't let go of a plastic bottle.
Simply express with words and gestures to give the plastic bottle to the knight.
The knight was overjoyed and chattered a lot. Huang Yi didn't know if he was expressing gratitude or humility, or in exchange for something.
Anyway, the knight regarded the plastic bottle as a treasure and carefully kept it in his arms.
On the third day, he chose to camp on a high ground not far from a pond. The knight picked up his bow and arrows and made some gestures. Huang Yi understood. The knight probably meant that he was going to go hunting.
There are still seven or eight kilograms of dry mutton. In fact, there is no need to hunt today to cook mutton. Seeing the knight's request, Huang Yi nodded and agreed.
Then Huang Yi observed from a distance. He was curious about how the Mongols hunted.
The knight's hunting method is completely different from Huang Yi's. He rides his horse straight towards the herd of yellow sheep, then bends his bow and arrows at close range. Then he lowers his body on the horse and reaches out, and a fat sheep is picked up on the horse's back.
The whole set of movements is like flowing clouds and flowing water, highlighting the rough beauty!
"Well done!" Huang Yi sighed, thinking to himself, it seems that equestrian skills are very important at this time, and I also want to learn to ride a horse.
Then the knight began to collect his prey, and his method was much better than Huang Yi's.
After eating a few bites of the roast lamb handed over by the knight, I just felt that it tasted great. It seemed that the level of cooking lamb was not comparable to that of Huang Yi.
Huang Yi also tried to ask the knight where he wanted to go, but unfortunately, the man kept mumbling a lot, and Huang Yi was confused.
But Huang Yi heard the word "Hedan Battle" clearly, and when the knight kept pointing at his chest and saying this word, Huang Yi understood.
Pointing at the person, he confirmed: "Your name is 'Hedan Buter'?"
The knight nodded repeatedly and pointed to his chest and repeated: "Hedan Battle!"
Huang Yi smiled and imitated his gesture, pointing at himself and saying, "Huang Yi!"
The man repeated "Huang Yi" twice, then laughed loudly, and then said a lot more, but unfortunately Huang Yi still didn't understand a word.
After walking for another two days, Hedanbater was not only fully recovered physically, but also in an even better mood.
He was embarrassed to ride alone, so he jumped off the horse and asked to switch rides with Huang Yi.
The skill of horse riding is very important and must be learned and practiced diligently.
Huang Yi talked and gestured, and finally let Hedanbaatar know that Huang Yi didn't know how to ride a horse and wanted to learn to ride.
This was a big deal. Hedanbatel was very enthusiastic and began to teach Huang Yi how to control the horse.
It may be because Hedanbaat'er's war horse is a good horse, or it may be because Hedanbaatar is by his side, and this war horse is quite obedient and does not embarrass Huang Yi.
Huang Yi finally enjoyed the fun of riding a horse. It's a pity that his wife or sister are not here, otherwise they would have to take photos and videos to show off when he returns home.
Hedanbaatar seemed to be getting more and more excited as he walked, and even yelled a few words that Huang Yi couldn't understand.
Huang Yi judged that he should be close to where Hedanbaatar was going.
I lamented that the prairie is really too big. Hundreds and thousands of people are looking for a corner to hide their cats. Without aerial reconnaissance, how easy is it to find it?
No wonder Ming Chengzu's army of hundreds of thousands in sweeping the north was simply an armed march on the prairie, unable to complete his plan to eliminate the main force of the enemy.
It feels like we are getting close to our destination and we need to be more careful.
Since Hedan Battelle was accompanying him, Huang Yi tried his best not to take out his own equipment in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Telescopes, mobile phones, and solar power banks may be regarded as artifacts or magic weapons at this time, or they may also be regarded as magic weapons.
Therefore, when climbing high and looking into the distance, we rely entirely on the naked eye, and the search range is only limited to a radius of three or four miles.
In the afternoon, we came to a river again. The conditions here were good. Huang Yi could see that Hedanbaatar had taken a fancy to this place and was planning to camp here.
The sun had not set yet, and there was more than twenty kilograms of dried mutton that was not needed for hunting. Hedanbaat'er led the horse down to the river to wash it, and expected that he would not come back for a while.
Huang Yi took the opportunity to climb up the hill and took out his telescope to search the surrounding area.
You won’t know until you see it, but you will be shocked when you see it!
I was surprised to find humans! At this time, it was four or five miles north of Huang Yi's planned campsite.
Not one person, but two. They were not ordinary people, and they looked like warriors.
Because Huang Yi saw that they were all wearing clothes similar to the leather armor worn by Hedanbaat'er, and they all had bows and arrows and Mongolian scimitars. They also had an extra horse.
Two knights and three horses alternately ride, which will inevitably increase the mobility a lot.
If they galloped on horseback, they should be able to reach the river in a few minutes, but the two cavalrymen did not do this at all. They both led their horses on foot, looking for something while walking.
Huang Yi focused on the two of them and observed them carefully, and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Because he could tell from the body movements of the two people that they were searching for traces of where he and Hedan Battelle had walked.
"Are those two cavalry following me?"
"No, I should have suddenly appeared in this time and place. I have no friends or enemies. I can be considered harmless to humans and animals. It is impossible for others to know about me, let alone follow me."
"They must be following Hedan Battle! But why didn't they attack Hedan Battle when he was injured and fell off his horse? At least they could capture Hedan Battle's horse and equipment!"
"Perhaps the two cavalrymen didn't notice when Hedanbaatar fell from his horse, and they later found the traces and followed them all the way."
Huang Yi was thinking. Historical knowledge told Huang Yi that the survival rules of the prairie were somewhat cruel. It was common for big fish to eat small fish and small fish to eat shrimps.
Although it is impossible to determine the age of the current prairie, we can feel the presence of invasion and annexation.
