Shao Xi laughed angrily at Old Wu, and couldn't argue with him anymore, so he asked casually: "I know the Northern Hu people, which refers to the Hu people in the north, but why are we called Southerners?"
"Nanren is what the Northern Hu people call us. We generally call ourselves Central Plains people." Lao Wu explained.
"Don't we call ourselves Han people?"
"Who are the Han people?"
"Forget it, pretend I didn't ask." Shao Xi found that geography knowledge might be of some use here, but forget about history knowledge.
"I remember, don't the barbarians in the north particularly like to invade the Central Plains from the south? From what you said, they seem to be very afraid of the Central Plains people now."
Although Shao Xi was a northerner in the original world, his ancestors were from the Central Plains, so he has always felt unhappy with the invasion of the Central Plains by the northern barbarians in history, especially the period of history when the Five Hus in the Northern and Southern Dynasties invaded China.
"Originally, they invaded from the south every year and even occupied Yuanzhou a hundred years ago. Fortunately, Xiao Baiting, the founding emperor of the Jingyuan Empire, cultivated his martial arts to the highest level and entered the Guiyuan realm. Only then did he pacify the world and establish the Jingyuan Empire. Empire, the barbarians in the north did not dare to invade our Central Plains border from then on." Talking about this period, Lao Wu was quite proud.
"Can the realm of martial arts change the world's pattern?"
Shao Xi seems to have only seen it in online articles before: a big move, the wind and clouds meet, the sky and the earth change color; sweeping across thousands of armies, destroying the dead; corpses littering the fields, ghosts crying and gods howling...
"Of course not. If one or two people can change and determine the general trend of the world, then what use are these people? However, those with extremely high martial arts will have a strong deterrent effect. Although these people usually do not care about worldly affairs, they will always When the world is in chaos and a nation rises and falls, they will always stand up, mainly to assassinate the rulers of enemy countries. If such a person wants to take human life, there are probably not many people in the world who can stop him, not to mention that this person is the emperor of the empire. I No matter who you are, you don’t want to be thought about every day by a martial arts expert who has entered the supreme level and returned to the Yuan realm, right?"
Lao Wu was always very interested when talking about Jianghu and martial arts.
Shao Xi also somewhat understood the martial arts knowledge that Lao Wu talked about in Feng Yuyan's memory.
At this time, I saw that the sun was not high anymore, and I thought that I had to find a shelter quickly, otherwise I would freeze to death at night even if I didn't starve to death in this Beihu land.
At this moment, Shao Xi began to miss the broken thatched hut and the broth simmering on the fire.
Most people are like this. They don't cherish what they have in front of them, and they start to miss it after losing it. If he were allowed to return to the guard box in the parking lot now, he would feel very happy.
Just when Shao Xi was scratching randomly on the ground with a branch, thinking about where to spend the night tonight, he felt Lao Wu pulling his sleeve next to him, and he pulled quickly and hard. He looked up at Lao Wu and saw Lao Wu with his mouth open and his eyes looking straight behind him.
"What's wrong?"
"We two don't have to be stray dogs anymore." After saying that, Old Wu pointed behind Shao Xi.
"Why does it feel like seeing a ghost?" Shao Xi rolled his eyes at Old Wu and turned to look in the direction that Old Wu pointed.
"Holy shit!" Shao Xi sat down on the ground, his expression exactly the same as that of Old Wu.
The setting sun at dusk hung like an orange-red basketball in the sky not far from the horizon. On the horizon under the setting sun, there was a group of low figures rising and falling rhythmically. It looked like there were about twenty or thirty people. Shao Xi is from the north. He saw them when he was a child and knew they were wolves. The wolf pack in front of him seemed to be very organized. They were spreading out in an orderly manner and surrounding him and Lao Wu.
It is true that they no longer need to be stray wild dogs. An opportunity to become wolf dung is now in front of them. If these twenty or thirty wolves pounce on them, let alone resist, they will not even have a chance to call mother. Shao Xi looked at himself, then at Old Wu, and made a rough estimate. With their bodies, they might not be enough for the wolf to have a full meal together.
This is too unlucky. First I was chased by people, and now I encountered a pack of wolves. I felt so frustrated after traveling through time.
"Old Wu, let's run quickly." Shao Xi now knew that Old Wu was good at his feet. If he ran quickly, he might still have a chance to escape.
"Run... run... I can't run. I'm afraid of wolves. My legs can't use up the strength right now." Old Wu's legs seemed to be shaking constantly.
"Damn it, you knew you were afraid of wolves, but you still took me all the way north. Don't you know there are the most wolves on the grassland?" Shao Xi was speechless for a while.
"I...I only know now that I am afraid of wolves."
"Fuck!" Shao Xi really wanted to go up and give Old Wu a showdown. I just thought he was a bit unreliable before, but now I realize that he is a scam!
Shao Xi stood up and looked at the birch tree next to him. The trunk was straight and smooth. He looked down at his short figure and finally decided to give up.
He turned around and looked at Old Wu next to him. He had shrunk into a ball and was trembling all over. So he dragged out a thick dry branch from behind the tree, broke off the dead branches and leaves on it, and then held up the branch in a posture ready to fight.
This scene is actually quite funny. Just imagine the scene of a roast chicken on the dining table waving a chicken bone at you to beat you.
I won't say whether what you did is useful or not, but you must have an attitude. Old Wu tried his best to save himself before, and now it is his turn to fight for Old Wu. Anyway, it had only been half a day since I traveled back in time, and this miserable start was not the script I wanted. If I really died, it would be easy. I just hoped that it wouldn't be too painful when I was eaten by a wolf.
I don’t know if I can travel back to the original world?
Just as Shao Xi was making various arrangements for his funeral, the wolves were getting closer and closer, gradually surrounding him and Lao Wu. But they did not attack. Shao Xi knew that they were waiting for the signal from the alpha wolf.
The sweat on his head broke out. He raised a branch and shouted to the wolves: "Come! Come! Who is afraid of whom?"
"Aww-" The howl of the alpha wolf did not cause the wolves to attack, but instead caused a long whistle in the distance.
As the rapid sound of horse hooves approached from far away, Shao Xi saw from a distance seven or eight people on horseback running towards him. Judging from their clothing, they were probably barbarians from the north. I don’t care who these people are at this time? What are you here for? Shao Xi just clenched the tree branch in his hand tightly, staring at the wolves in front of him.
Whether he died by human hands or by wolves, he hoped that what was happening in front of him would end quickly, because he felt like he was really scared to death.
A few horses arrived in front of them in a blink of an eye. Sure enough, they were some Beihu people.
Sitting on the leader's chestnut horse was a tall man with a full beard, a machete on his waist, a quiver and a hunting bow on his back, and a six or seven-year-old child sitting in his arms in front of him. The child had pigtails on his head, and his face and head were dirty from the wind and sand. It was not clear whether he was a boy or a girl. He was looking at Shao Xi with curious eyes at this time.
"Hey! This baby is very courageous! Not only did he not cry in fear when facing the wolves, he actually wanted to fight with his posture. It's pretty good."
The speaker was a man sitting on a white and blue horse. He was dressed similarly to the others, except that the beard on his chin was tied into a short braid.
The leading man leaned forward and asked in a deep voice: "Are you from the South?"
"Damn! Of course I'm a man! I'm a real man for sure!"
After Shao Xi complained in his mind, he immediately realized that the Nan the other party mentioned was different from the man he thought of.
Shao Xi nodded blankly and said in his mind: "Why are they asking? Is it because Old Wu and I are from the Central Plains that these living hell kings plan to chop us up and cook them for dinner?"
I saw the big man at the head put his fingers in his mouth and whistled for a long time, and the wolves dispersed obediently as if they were possessed by magic.
"Little guy, aren't you afraid of so many wolves surrounding you?" The big man put down his hand and turned to Shao Xi and asked.
"Afraid...! It's... useless." Shao Xi told the truth. He was so scared that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Hahaha! I like the phrase 'fear is useless'. Even if a man is afraid, he can't retreat and never give up his dignity. Little guy, you look like a man from our grassland." As he said that, he glanced at Shao Xi again Old Wu behind him seemed to be laughing at him for being worse than a child.
Because the wolves dispersed, Old Wu regained his energy at this moment. He got up from the ground, patted the dust on his butt, ran to the leader's horse, bowed his hands and said: "Thank you all heroes for the rescue. I wonder if I can leave my name? If there is a chance in the future, the little old man will definitely thank you well."
The leading man put his hand on his chest and leaned forward slightly as a return gift, "We men in the grassland do things without expecting anything in return. Besides, those wolves are our partners..."
"Oh, I'll go! Don't these bearded guys have too strong tastes? Don't raising dogs satisfy them anymore? This is a veritable dance with wolves!"
Because he had been so frightened just now, and now that he knew that the wolf was tamed by the people across from him, Shao Xi couldn't help but turn on the complaining mode in his heart.
The leading man continued: "But I can still tell you my name. My name is Zhuo Ligetu, the leader of the Tuote tribe. This is my daughter Uzhina, and that is my brother Xurigan." He pointed. Referring to the child in his arms and the man with a braided beard, "The others are all warriors of my tribe."
"Tribe? Old Wu Zhengchou and I have no place to stay. Isn't this why someone gives us pillows when we feel sleepy? We're close to condoms. Let's see if we can let them take us back to the tribe." Shao Xi pondered secretly.
"Uncle, my uncle took me out with the caravan to do some small business. I didn't want to encounter horse bandits today. The caravan was scattered. My uncle got lost when he took me to escape. Now we don't want to We know where to go. Uncle, can you take us back to your tribe to stay temporarily?"
