"It's the smoke...it's the pungent smoke that stops the wild wolves. It's not just the light of fire. Such a small amount of fire can't stop these beasts!"
Guiziliu was right. Trees lit by kerosene not only have the usual smoke of fireworks, but more importantly, they have a unique pungent smell of kerosene!
Kerosene has only been popularized in the Qing Dynasty for a few years, and many beasts have never been exposed to this smell. It is probably the first time for these hungry wolves to smell such exciting smoke, and they panicked for a moment and did not launch an attack!
"You're lucky! Fortunately you brought kerosene. If it was just an ordinary flame, so small, these wolves would have attacked long ago!"
"What's wrong with you, Isiha? Don't these wolves look like they're so hungry that they have to eat your white flesh?"
"This...when did this happen? Prince, please don't laugh at me...just talk while we're walking!"
Along the way, Isiha continued intermittently and finally described the strange things that happened today. It turned out that Isiha had good luck hunting in the mountains during the day. He had two hares and a pheasant. He roasted a rabbit for lunch and left the rest. I'm going to take it home and eat it tonight!
As a result, when he was preparing to return to Muling in the afternoon, Isiha suddenly discovered an obvious trap. When he took off the disguise, he saw that it was a trap that had just been dug, with a few pieces of very fresh red meat in it. Meat!
Yisiha was stunned at the time. He did not expect anyone to sink into the pit here, because this is a royal mausoleum and a forbidden area of the Qing Dynasty. Except for the hunters among the officers and soldiers who guard the mausoleum, such as the banner men, there is no way for the hunters of the Han people outside to enter the mountain. Can come in!
The bannermen and hunters, Isiha, basically all know each other, and they also consulted the veterans before entering the mountains. Where do the local bannermen hunters hunt, and what methods do they generally use?
After all, the Bannerman hunters themselves have a hard-core crop. They do not rely entirely on hunting to make a living. Hunting is more of their personal hobby. Some prey can also supplement the household income and improve the food!
Therefore, the bannermen like to play with bows and arrows and firecrackers when hunting, while the rich nobles like to ride horses and play with sea turtles!
They don't like the method of digging traps. These people naturally don't like digging holes or dealing with soil!
Yisiha knew the rules here, so he knew as soon as he saw the trap that a Han hunter had sneaked into the boundary of Xiling and started poaching!
This is not bad, I am the commander of the army guard in Xiling, I have to take care of this matter!
Is Ha very conscientious? In fact, he was just free, catching a few Han poachers to vent his anger!
Starting from the first trap, Isiha looked for clues. No footprints, broken branches, etc. could escape his eyes, and he soon discovered the second trap.
This time there was a reward. A huge weasel was trapped in the second pit! This is really a beautiful weasel, with shiny fur. If it were sold in the city, just the skin would cost two or three silver dollars!
In ancient times, weasel fur was very valuable. The most familiar writing brush is called wolf hair. The hair used in this wolf brush is weasel hair, not wild wolf hair!
Among the Four Treasures of the Study, Lang Hao has a very high status and is the favorite among scholars!
This is really free money. Although Isiha doesn’t lack the two coins, who doesn’t love free money? He immediately became interested in this group of Han poachers and continued to look for them!
The sky turned dark until I found him. This Yisiha was really a greedy guy looking for death. He refused to go back to Muling even after the sun had set!
It turned out to be really fruitful. In the third pit, he found a little wolf that had just been pinched to death. Its gray-white fur was shiny to the touch!
It was the corpse of this little wolf that completely led Isiha to a dead end!
Yi Xin heard what else he didn't know, "Hey... where is the little wolf's body?"
"I...when I heard the howling of wolves all over the mountain, I...I was afraid of losing it!" Isiha said dejectedly.
Yi Xin stamped her feet and said, "You are a fool... You must be stained with the blood of the young wolf. There is no point in throwing away the body. Those adult wolves who are seeking revenge will come after you after smelling your scent!"
"It turns out it's revenge! It turns out it's revenge! You killed the cub of the wolf pack, maybe it was the cub of the alpha wolf... Why are they waiting for you if they don't kill you?"
"No wonder hundreds of packs of wolves have begun to set foot on the edge of Muling. These places are not the territory of wolves in the first place... You, you! What can I say to you?"
"During this period, I advise you not to harm the young animals in spring. It will harm the heaven and earth... This solar term is the season when a large number of animals reproduce. It is unethical for you to hunt at this time!"
Isiha stopped twisting this time, walked silently with his head lowered, and stopped spitting.
After taking two steps, Yixin suddenly stopped and his face turned strange. "Well..." People couldn't see his expression clearly in the dark night, and they knew that Yixin suddenly stopped walking and hummed in his throat. !
"Your Majesty...what are you?" the two guards asked.
Yi Xin suddenly said, "How much kerosene is left? Yisiha, take off your clothes and quickly... rub a layer of kerosene on your body!"
"Ah! Ah...I understand, do you want me to cover up the smell?" Isiha no longer dared to be awkward with Guiziliu, and listened to whatever was said.
Isiha took off his single cotton jacket and even his pants. He took a glass bottle, dipped it in kerosene and started to rub it on his body!
Yixin looked at the clothes on the ground coldly, and waited silently until Isiha had finished wiping them. Yixin raised his head and looked behind him. The firelight in the distance was getting weaker and weaker, and the roars of the wolves were getting louder and louder. crazy.
"Hey... these wolves are coming soon. We can't outrun these beasts..."
"Then what should we do..." Before the two veterans finished speaking, they heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed, and a flash of lightning flashed in the dark night!
What a fast knife! What a cruel heart!
The two veterans suddenly felt a coldness in their throats, and then sweet liquid surged into their mouths. They swallowed two mouthfuls!
Their throats had been cut by the prince. The two veterans looked at the Japanese soldier Liu Yixin in disbelief. Without even a last question, they fell to the ground with a thud, their legs twitched violently, and blood began to flow!
"Ah... Your Highness... You... You want to kill me..." The naked Isiha was so frightened that the hair on his body stood up, and he knelt on the ground directly.
"My lord... I just took a finger from you, and you took it back in the end... I really didn't do anything else!"
"Please, for the sake of my mother and sister's love, spare my life! Woo hoo hoo... please have mercy on me, my lord!"
Yi Xin went up and slapped him, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? I am trying to save you. You are stupid! Quickly put on the clothes on the corpse and put your clothes on the corpse!"
"Hurry up, there's no time, I'll set the last fire..."
Yi Xin gathered up the last bit of kerosene and started to set fire in the bushes. This was the third and final wall of fire to stop the wolves!
"Come... follow me!" Yi Xin pulled Isiha, who had just put on her clothes, turned around and left!
