Northern Xinjiang
The snow covers the earth and stretches for thousands of miles.
That day, the sun was shining brightly, the wind had stopped and the snow had subsided, and occasionally a few birds chirped throughout the quiet snow.
"drive…"
A playful cry broke the supposed peace of the earth. At this time, a young man wearing a navy snow hat and thick leather armor was seen riding a horse without hesitation.
The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a rather strong body, but he seemed a little short due to his lack of height, and he looked a little fat.
The young man sat down with a powerful bow hanging on the left side of the horse and a quiver on the right side. The quiver is covered with a leather sheath to protect the arrows inside. Judging from the look of the leather sheath, there are quite a few arrows in the quiver.
Suddenly, the boy who was driving the horse turned around, and there was a burst of curses coming from behind. The language didn't seem to be the language of the Central Plains, but after listening carefully, it turned out to be Manchu.
"You guys behind me, please hurry up. If you interfere with my hunting, I will whip you when I get back."
"Master, please wait for us, how can a man with two legs run like an animal with four legs?" Three panting teenagers were catching up behind the horses, all of whom looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Wu Ergou, you dog Aha, how dare you call my little Huang a beast?" Bugurut Wamuda, who was sitting on the horse, leaned over and slapped Wu Ergou in the face who was replying. passed.
"Pa..." Wu Ergou felt a hot pain on his face before he could fully react.
At this moment, I saw Bugurut Wamuda shaking his hand and cursing: "Aha, the dog's skin is so rough that it hurts my hand."
After hearing this, Wu Ergou ignored the pain on his face and immediately knelt on the snow, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Yes, little master. I know I'm wrong, I'm a beast, I'm a beast. Please, little master Hold your hand high, don't hurt your hand because of a beast like me, it's not worth it."
"Well...just know that you are wrong. You should always remember that you are my slave and livestock, and your whole family is my aha. If you dare to disobey me, believe it or not, I will kill you right now." Bugulu Te.Wamuda looked at Wu Ergou who was begging for mercy on his knees and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, I know that all slaves are slaves of the master's family, and they are the most loyal dogs of the master's family." Wu Ergou did not dare to do anything strange and kowtowed repeatedly.
The other two young men, Li Gui and Wang Caogen, looked at Wu Ergou who was kowtowing and begging for mercy, but they stood there at a loss. At this time, Bugurut Wamuda looked at the two of them with a displeased look on his face. Upon seeing this, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to please him.
"Sure enough, Mafa ① is right. As long as we kill everyone who dares to come forward, the remaining Nikans will be useless, born to be slaves. I just looked at it and became so afraid of death. They are not as good as my own. Tower ②." Looking at the three people kneeling on the ground, Bugurut Wamuda thought with great satisfaction.
"Okay, everyone, get up! If you can't keep up in a while, I'll have a good look at you. If I had known better, I might as well have brought my Atta here." Bugurut Wamuda raised his head without even looking. The three people underground said.
"Yes, yes...it's the little one. The little one must follow the master." The three of them kowtowed and agreed.
"Let's go. Drive..."
The three of them saw Bugurut Wamuda, who had turned his horse's head forward, and hurriedly climbed up from the snow. A chill came over me uncontrollably, and I felt like my body was shaking.
In this icy weather, even if I was wrapped in several layers of cotton clothes, I still felt cold. I didn't feel anything when I had been running just now, but I felt it after I knelt down and touched the snow.
The horse continued to run, and the three people behind were chasing after them desperately. Fortunately, the horse speed was not too fast, so the three people following closely did not fall behind.
The snow gradually passed over the horse's hooves. In order to prevent the horse from being damaged, Bugurut Wamuda could only dismount and walk.
"Master, look, there is a pheasant in front of you." Li Gui, who was following Bugurut Wamuda, suddenly pointed to a place and called out.
Bugurut Wamuda looked at where Li Gui pointed, and it turned out to be a pheasant that was out foraging.
"I've seen it a long time ago. You're going to scare away my pheasant with such a loud noise. Let's see if I don't beat you to death." Bugurut Wamuda said disdainfully, and then took the bow and arrow from Wang Caogen.
Draw the bow, nock the arrow, and shoot. The whole process went smoothly without any glitches. The bow and arrows were just like a part of Gurut Vamuda's body.
A moment later, the pheasant a hundred meters away was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.
"Master's archery skills are really amazing, as powerful as a god." Seeing the pheasant lying on the ground, Li Gui immediately said with a smile.
"Okay, hurry up and collect the pheasants." Bugurut Wamuda said happily with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Master. The young one will come over right away." After Li Gui finished speaking, he hurried over and picked up the pheasant.
"Master, look, this pheasant is really good, it must taste very good." Li Gui looked like he was drooling as he spoke.
"It tastes good. What, you still want to eat?" Bugurut Wamuda asked with a face full of laughter.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. How can a little one be so lucky to eat it? Of course the master eats the pheasant. If the master is merciful, please give the chicken intestines of this pheasant to the little one!" Li Gui hurriedly defended. replied.
"My Atta doesn't want those disgusting things. Since you want it, I'll give it to you!" Bugurut Wamuda was in a good mood and said with a "generous" reward.
"Thank you, Master, for the reward." Li Gui thanked him with a greedy look on his face.
Looking at Li Gui's appearance, Bugurut Wamuda suddenly felt very good.
"Who says I'm not a good person anymore? Ah Ha is so happy to see my reward. Ci Yahua always says that I'm too evil." Bugurut Wamuda thought.
"Okay, okay. Take the pheasant and keep walking."
"Yes, Master."
An hour passed. Bugulut Wamuda and others walked around the surrounding area, but they didn't see any other prey.
An angry Bugurut scolded the three of them, then rode back first, asking Li Gui to bring the pheasants back to the cook for dinner.
"Brother Ergou, tell me, is it possible for me to go to Yunnan to see the sweet-scented osmanthus tree my grandfather talked about?" Li Gui, who followed Wu Ergou and Wang Caogen back with the pheasant in hand, suddenly asked in despair.
"Li Gui, I understand what you said. Why don't I want to go to Yunnan? My grandfather also told me that when he was a general in the hands of King Pingxi, he was so majestic that he could have wind or rain. . If King Pingxi hadn't gotten old, maybe we would all be..." Wu Ergou said.
