Wang Baobao waved helplessly to Wang Tuotuo: "Come on, come on, take a look at this. If you don't practice calligraphy well, you will be like him. It will be my face that will be embarrassed."
They returned to the yurt after dinner and found the Wolf King awake.
Zhu Bai went to get some water and dried meat and put them in front of the Wolf King.
The Wolf King bared his teeth at him.
Zhu Bai pointed at it and taught him a lesson: "I saved you, and you bared your teeth at me. You are indeed a heartless beast."
The Wolf King stared at him grimly.
Zhu Bai snorted: "Forget it if you don't want to eat. You will starve to death."
Wang Tuotuo said: "Ask me, you can just bake it and eat it."
Zhu Bai said: "You still don't get tired of eating meat all day long."
Then he fell down and went to sleep.
Wang Tuotuo got him a sheepskin and spread it on the ground, with several layers of blankets underneath. It was much more comfortable than sleeping on the felt before.
In the darkness, there was a sound of "bah, bah, bah".
It was the Wolf King who was secretly drinking water and eating dried meat.
Zhu Bai couldn't help but laugh: This is the right thing. It's important to stay alive. Why be so stubborn?
-----
In just a few days, Wang Tuotuo already regarded Zhu Bai as a biological brother.
Whenever someone laughs at Zhu Bai or speaks dirty words, Wang Tuotuo will get angry with that person.
The people in the tribe are very dissatisfied. After all, Wang Tuotuo is their future leader: "The Han people are the most treacherous. They do one thing on the surface but another behind the scenes. Now you treat him as a brother, and when he cuts you with a knife in the future, you I just know it hurts.”
Wang Tuotuo: "I don't know whether he will chop me with a knife in the future. I only know that he has saved me now."
None of these good or bad words seemed to reach Zhu Bai's ears.
He does whatever he has to do.
Wang Tuotuo felt that he seemed to have something to say. Today they found a place with abundant water and grass to sit down and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
Zhu Bai said: "I would like to ask where your Yanling sword comes from."
He only made a rough guess, but didn't know the specific process.
Wang Tuotuo told the story about Zhu Xi and his people coming to rescue Deng Zhiqiu, but the last person escaped back.
Then he said: "Your second brother is really different from you. He is a coward. Twenty brothers followed him out, but in the end he was so cruel that he escaped alone. But I, Abu, was kind and said that these twenty people can be regarded as loyal people. I couldn't bear to see them being eaten by wolves, so I ordered twenty people to be buried."
Haha, you killed this person, why are you pretending to be a good person? !
Zhu Bai secretly clenched his fists and asked, "Where is it buried?"
Wang Tuotuo pointed to the southeast: "It's probably over there. It's only two miles away from here."
Zhu Bai: "Take me to see it tomorrow."
Wang Tuotuo raised his eyebrows: "What's so good about this? Everyone is dead."
Zhu Bai: "Don't worry about it, just take me there."
In the evening, Zhu Bai hid some dried meat and secretly made a sheepskin kettle to fill with a pot of milk wine.
Wang Baobao saw it but said nothing.
When they went out in the morning, Wang Baobao said goodbye as usual.
After they walked for a while, he followed them on horseback.
From a distance, I watched Wang Tuotuo take Zhu Bai to the border gate of Ming Dynasty.
Wang Baobao cursed in his heart: You bastard, I told you so much, but you didn’t listen at all, and you even took the initiative to show him the way.
If we take Zhu Bai back today, we must teach him a lesson so that he will not dare to run away again.
Just as he was thinking about it, the two children stopped under a tree.
Over there, Wang Tuotuo said to Zhu Bai, "That's it."
Zhu Bai asked: "Are you sure?"
Although there are not many trees on the grassland, there are also many. Each tree looks similar.
And this was almost half a year ago, and the new grass growing in the spring has long covered all traces on the ground, including the new soil.
If Wang Tuotuo hadn't pointed it out to him, he would have thought it was just an ordinary little bumpkin.
Wang Tuotuo said: "Sure. Look, twenty people were buried. Just twenty lines were drawn on the tree to prevent anyone from accidentally digging them out in the future."
Zhu Bai went over and took a look, and sure enough there was a mark.
He took out the dried meat and milk wine and placed them in front of the earth bag as an offering. Then he sprinkled the wine on the ground, saluted, and said silently in his heart: "All the warriors of the Ming Dynasty, rest in peace. I will avenge you."
His throat was sore and his eyes were warm and moist.
The wind blew through the waist-high grass, making a rustling sound, as if someone was whimpering.
Wang Baobao watched from a distance and was touched in his heart.
None of these Ming Dynasty guards begged for mercy until their death.
Although they were enemies and he had to kill them, he was still in awe of them.
Zhu Ping left them behind and still has no intention of getting their bodies back.
On the contrary, Zhu Bai, at a young age and in the enemy camp, did not forget to come to pay homage to his comrades who died in the battle.
He is responsible and magnanimous, and this alone sets him apart from most people.
Wang Tuotuo was also afraid that Zhu Bai would be sad or hate him because of it, so he would ignore him.
As a result, Zhu Bailuo stopped and then followed Wang Tuotuo to herd the sheep.
When he found a place with abundant water and grass, he had returned to his usual calmness.
He was so surprised to find wild vegetables in the grass close to the ground that he found a bag full of them and washed them in the river.
While washing, he sighed: What kind of fate do I have? When I first arrived at Lao Zhu's place, I ate vegetarian food every day, and birds could appear in my mouth.
Now it's completely the other way around. I eat meat every day and don't have any vegetables. I'm bored to death.
Wang Tuotuo laughed at Zhu Bai again: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, do you want to imitate the cows and sheep eating grass?"
Zhu Bai rolled his eyes: "It's terrible to be uneducated. What do you know, these are all wild vegetables. This bitter vein vegetable can treat various suppurative inflammation toothaches, yellow water sores, and hemorrhoids. This dandelion can clear away heat and detoxify, reduce swelling and dissolve stagnation." This is purslane, which clears away heat and detoxifies, cools blood and reduces swelling, and relieves dysentery. Shepherd's purse, diuretics, stops bleeding, and improves eyesight. Ah, you can't eat this raw. Swallowtail cools blood and stops bleeding, detoxifies and relieves swelling and pain. This wild amaranth is good It's something that replenishes blood and is best for people with anemia. In fact, there are a lot of fresh day lilies over there, but they can't be eaten raw, so I didn't pick them."
Wang Tuotuo was stunned for a while and said: "Well, you are quite powerful, you actually know so many people. I have a question, how do you plan to eat it? Someone in our clan has eaten it raw before and got diarrhea."
Zhu Bai: "Fried..."
Wang Tuotuo: "We don't have a pot. Stir-frying is what you Han people do. Our meat is roasted."
Zhu Bai was stunned, tilted his head and thought: This is indeed a problem.
He added: "Boil the pot of water. Then add some salt and mix it."
Wang Tuotuo: "Can I eat it? Does it not cause diarrhea?"
Zhu Bai: "No, even if you drink vegetable soup, isn't that better than eating meat every day?"
Wang Tuotuo: "Hey, then I'd rather eat meat. We Mongolians are all hard-blooded men and only eat meat."
Zhu Bai sneered: Haha, I don’t know who said that eating only meat and eggs is too greasy, so he wants to buy tea from us.
