Gao Jin ate a large bowl of rice cleanly without any leftovers. The rice with jerky meat in the caravan is a luxury. I remember that only I and my uncles can eat it. As for the others, they can only eat what they have left. However, even so, the salty meat soup rice is a top-notch enjoyment for ordinary people in the border areas.

Putting down the big bowl, Gao Jin felt warm all over. His body, which had been a little tired due to martial arts practice, gradually developed strength in his body, "Uncle Wei, did you just say to kill the thief?"

Gao Jin knew that since the caravan went out of the frontier, a group of horse thieves hung far behind them. The further away from the edge of the wall, the more courageous the thieves were. Three days ago, the group of horse thieves sent people to harass them from time to time. They all had fast horses and soft bows, and rode their horses closer and then left.

Although these horse thieves did not hurt the people in the caravan, they were also very annoying. They rode their horses to chase a horse thief because they couldn't swallow their breath. As a result, because they were not experienced, they forgot the tricks they had during training and fell off the horse in a panic.

Gao Jin has no experience with horse thieves, and his memories are full of the advice of Wei Lianhai and other fathers. Horse thieves outside the frontier are all pickled people who bully the weak and fear the strong. If you show weakness, they will pounce on you like hungry wolves and bit you to pieces. Therefore, when encountering horse thieves, you must not be afraid of showing weakness, nor should you be afraid of fighting with horse thieves.

"Yes, if it weren't for the heavy wind and sand these two days, the horse thieves would have attacked us last night." Wei Lianhai said in a deep voice. It's normal to encounter horse thieves when they go out of the customs and do business. Who said there are so many horse thieves outside the border?

"Since you are not seriously injured, you will go out and ask your other uncles to take a look. When you come back, it will be time for us to see the truth with those horse thieves." Wei Lianhai patted Gao Jin's shoulder. The old brothers in the caravan all watched Gao Jin grow up. Everyone knew that not only did they take him out to see the world, but they also had to hone this kid. After all, they were old, and the caravan would still rely on young people to support them in the future.

"Yes, Uncle Wei." Gao Jin responded, and then he got up and pinned his long sword on his waist, carrying an arrow on his back, and was about to get the spear, Wei Lianhai scolded him, "You little brat, it's okay to just take a knife and bow, but what do you do with a gun? Do you think you have the chance to use a gun, but you still have to go out to fight!"

After hearing Wei Lianhai's words, Gao Jin put down the spear awkwardly. He had just performed martial arts and knew that his martial arts skills were not bad, but when he heard that the horse thief was attacking, he was always a little nervous. He felt relieved to bring all the weapons he could carry. After all, he was prepared for any trouble. He completely forgot that the camp was small, which was not conducive to the use of the spear, and would hinder others.

Put the spear back into the tent, Gao Jin followed Wei Lianhai. It was too late, there were no stars in the turbid and dark sky, and the moon was gone. If it weren't for the ignition of fire in the camp, it would have been a dark night without any fingers.

In the light of fire, Gao Jin looked at the camp. The camp was backed by a hill. At the front was a carriage with pack horses unloaded and connected together. There were more than a dozen camels connected. However, when you looked carefully, you still left a few holes to make it easier to enter and exit.

When Gao Jin came out, several gazes came to the camp. Gao Jin, who felt these gazes, also looked back. Although what he saw was only a blurry face, he could still tell that these figures of armor-piercing swords were all older veterans.

Gao Jin followed Wei Lianhai to patrol the camp, "Hello Uncle Wang, Uncle Li..." When he saw these uncles face to face, Gao Jin naturally greeted him. These were the elders in the caravan and they usually watched him grow up in the fortress.

When you go out to do business, the caravan cannot fight. Without the force of others, you have been eaten by others and you have not even left any bones. It is even more nonsense to protect the caravan. When you go outside the border, you have the biggest fists, especially near the side walls. There are many small tribes. If you don’t keep the strength to keep the goods, you will be the most brutal horse thief.

The veterans of the Gao family caravan all eat the blood of the knife. Even if Gao Jin is the son of his eldest son, if he is not capable, they will still be looked down upon by them.

Although Gao Jin chased the horse thief in the daytime, he finally shot the horse thief to death. He told him that the uncles who killed people without blinking were all looking at him with admiration.

He followed Wei Lianhai all the way, and before he knew it, he arrived at the car array on the outermost side of the camp. Gao Jin knew that his cart was originally all from the military car camp. Although it looked old, it was extremely useful.

At this time, the light in the camp where the firelight could shine was extremely weak, but Gao Jin still saw the arrows scattered around the carriage. "Pick it up and take a look?" Wei Lianhai's voice sounded, and Gao Jin bent down and picked up an arrow in the car in front of him.

I only felt that the arrow was extremely light. When Gao Jin looked carefully in a glimmer of light, he found that the arrow of the arrow was actually ground out of bones. The shaft was rough and uneven, and even the tail feathers were uneven. If such an arrow was shot out, it would be almost a waste arrow without any accuracy.

Gao Jin seemed to have thought of something, and then squatted down and touched an arrow from the ground to observe. As a result, he was also a shoddy waste arrow and threw away the arrow in his hand. He suddenly remembered the horse thief who was chasing in the daytime. He was so scared by such a waste arrow that he fell off his horse and couldn't help but blush.

"The horse thieves outside the frontier are all poor people. They are reluctant to use iron arrows before they really start. These bone arrows are also scary things." Wei Lianhai seemed to feel Gao Jin's embarrassment and couldn't help but smile, "You, Ada, teach you martial arts since you were a child, and you have learned real skills from us, but you, Ada, have never told you about these things before, so it's not your fault!"

"Old Chen, Erlang is here." Wei Lianhai suddenly said to the darkness not far away. Gao Jin looked at the sound and saw a black shadow jumping from the carriage not far away to the left.

"Come on!" Old Chen was a thin old man who was wearing old leather armor. Even if he was tied tightly with a thigh, he looked like a blink of an eye. He was holding a horned bow in his hand, a quiver on his back, and a geese-feathered knife was inserted across his waist.

Old Chen's face was not as fierce as Wei Lianhai. If he removed the sword armor and arrows on his body and replaced it with a dry tobacco pot pole, he would look like the most ordinary old farmer in northern Shaanxi. Seeing Old Chen approaching, Gao Jin quickly said, "Hello Uncle Chen!"

Old Chen walked up to Gao Jin, looked at the bow and arrow behind Gao Jin's back and the ring on his thumb, squinted his eyes, and then said after a while, "I saw the corpse of the horse thief you shot down in the daytime, and the back of his heart penetrated his back, and the arrow penetrated his sternum. It's good, very good, I didn't embarrass me."

Gao Jin was a little stunned when he heard that he had killed a horse thief. In his memory, he did shoot an arrow before falling off the horse, but he couldn't even understand the accuracy at that time. He shot it purely with his instinct by his usual shooting skills.

"You Ada is back." Old Chen suddenly said with his ears moving. He was Gao Jin's archery teacher and a sharpshooter in the caravan. He also made some names in Yulin Town back then. As a sharpshooter, he not only had good eyesight, but also had extraordinary ears.

As Old Chen looked at it, Gao Jin saw a blurry outline in the darkness ahead gradually became clear. Soon the riding shadow riding on horseback reached the gap left by the chariot formation. In the faint firelight, Gao Jin saw that the knight on the horse was the father who had always been serious in his memory.

Gao Chong jumped off the horse immediately, and a horse thief was tied to the horse's back. His hands and feet were tied tightly by the cow tendon rope, and a piece of rag was stuffed into his mouth.

Gao Jin looked at the horse thief and found that the horse thief was not old. He looked younger than him. He was just pale and thin, with a skinny look. His clothes were covered with patches. The only leather jacket worth a little money was also stuffed together. If he hadn't known that this person was a horse thief, Gao Jin would have thought his father had caught a beggar and returned.

"father!"

Gao Chong is tall. Although the father and son are of the same height, Gao Chong, the more burly Gao Chong, looks much more majestic than Gao Jin, and his beard, which is like a steel needle, looks even more energetic.

"Old Chen, Lao Wei, brothers are you okay?"

"Okay, the brothers are shouting that they will wait for you to come back and kill the horse thief together."

...

"I'm fine!" After talking to Old Chen and Wei Lianhai, Gao Chong looked at Gao Jin's son. Although his voice was a little cold, the care was still heard.

"Uncle Wei applied medicinal oil, nothing serious." Gao Jin replied. In his memory, he rarely communicated with this father. Most of the time, this strict father urged him to practice martial arts and study. Apart from that, the father and son had nothing to say.

"Old Wei, I'm leaving this prisoner to you, Xiao Jin, come with me."

He threw the captured horse thief to Wei Lianhai, and Gao Chong said to Gao Jin that he brought his son out to know the caravan this time, and he meant to be tempered and trained. The way he arranged for his son was not easy to walk, so he had to have a way out first.

Wei Lianhai took over the prisoner, and the light exposed in his one-eyed eyes made people shudder. The cruelty that made Gao Jin, who was beside him, felt a little scared. He couldn't help but think of the rumors about Uncle Wei, saying that he was from the Jinyiwei, but Uncle Wei never admitted it.

"Let's go!"

Gao Chong's voice made Gao Jin come back to his senses. He followed Gao Chong, and the father and son walked towards the camp one after another, but there was no more words.
