Chapter 24 Twist and Twist
More than two months after Ye Juelu left, the silver-clad frontier also showed a little green vitality, but the chilly spring is not as cold as the south of the Yangtze River, and the frontier is still bit cold.
The Golden Eagle King flew over in the evening to tell Ming Lanying that Ye Juilu had arrived in the capital and went straight to the palace to face the Saint.
"Your man came into the palace with shackles. Is he a sinner?"
Ming Lanying scratched her head, "It was a sinner who made the emperor unhappy and was demoted to this by the emperor if he neglected his duties."
The Golden Eagle King shook his head proudly, "I am not such a tyrant. You see, you neglect your duties at home every day, and if you don't study how to unify the world with me, read these useless books every day, but I have never abandoned you.
.”
"Yes, yes, wise, wise." Ming Lanying packed up a stack of accounts and handed them to Hebai, asked her to send them to Meng Huaisu for silver, turned to the Golden Eagle King and said, "I'm not trying to make money to support my family, you're no longer a day.
I took a sheep and a chicken from me. I had to buy it for money, otherwise we would drink cold wind together.”
The Golden Eagle King doesn't understand why money means. For it, as long as it is found in the mountains, runs on the ground, or swims in the water, it will not tell Ming Lanying that such words have lost its identity, "then
I will reluctantly let you make money to support your family. I have to go into seclusion and practice during this period. If you have any questions, let Ma Yi and the others come to me."
"knew."
As soon as the Golden Eagle King left, Ming Lanying called Ma Yi and the others back, "What did you do in seclusion? What happened recently?"
Ma Yi jumped angrily, "The sparrows in the capital have heard news that someone is coming to capture us again."
Ming Lanying frowned slightly. They had not given up and wanted to catch the golden eagle. The frontier was delayed when winter broke out, but soon the weather warmed up, all the snow melted, all things revived, and animals migrated alternately, which was the best for them.
opportunity.
"Who is here this time?"
Ma San pecked at the newly grown feathers and said, "It's a prince named Heng. He also took several women out and will be here in another month."
Ming Lanying burst out laughing, "Aren't he weak and sick? Why did he come out to catch the golden eagle in person?"
"I know this!" Ma Er jumped around and answered, his wings fluttering, and he was very cute. "The thrush he brought by his side said that he was going out for fun with his wives and concubines, and he caught the golden eagle to treat his illness."
"Come to the frontier to have fun? It's so elegant." Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, and the weak and sickly people still have thrushes. "Is that thrush smart? How many women did he bring?"
"I'm not very smart, I can't speak birds well, but I can understand the words of people." Ma Er thought for a while: "There are thirteen! Thirteen!"
"Okay, I understand. Ma Yi, please be careful, don't come out often, and hide from others."
"Yes!" Ma Yi flew away with his wings.
Feeding a row of little sparrows, Ming Lanying took out a small carving knife and a small whistle that was about to be finished. This was the only thing she could cut, the memory engraved in her bones, the ancestral whistle that could communicate with animals.
The length of a slap, the thickness of a finger, there are irregular holes on it, and the tone of it is very unique, making it a unique whistle in the world.
After staying here for too long, she almost forgot that the languages in the animal world are not all the same. The animals she met in the frontier, besides the livestock meat she often eats, are the only Golden Eagle King, Sparrow, Little Squirrel, Owl and Eagle.
Several wild ducks with higher intelligence can communicate directly in words.
If one day she meets another animal but the animal doesn't understand human words, it would be a little embarrassed, so she quickly carved out the Bailing whistle these days.
He Bai went to deliver the account book and came back in a short while. He snapped a silver bill of 100 taels in front of her, "Sister-in-law, 100 taels!"
"I know, let it go first." Ming Lanying grinds the edge of the whistle whistle and responds without raising her head. He Bai leans over in confusion and sees her fiddling with a strange whistle whistle.
"Sister-in-law, what is this? Why is its holes so strange in size and location."
"Large, a fun thing, I'll show you later."
"good!"
Grinding the edges, strung a red rope and hung it directly on your chest. Ming Lanying turned around and took out the money box, carefully put the 100 taels of silver notes. Looking at the box full of money, she couldn't help but grin.
.
It's worth noting that she was dizzy when she read the account book every day. The recipes she sold and the account book she read were combined, she had saved up seven or eight hundred taels in less than a year, which was enough for the family to spend their whole life together.
But it is not enough. She has the ability to treat herself without any bad treatment, so she will not make do with anything. She still has to make a lot of money and take her family around the world!
He was standing beside her with white eyes, "Sister-in-law, that lark whistle will let me see."
"Okay!"
"Where is Ning'er?" Ming Lanying didn't see Ning'er as soon as she left the house. The two little squirrels were not there. He Bai pointed at Doctor Zhao's house.
"It's fun at Mr. Zhao!"
"Okay, let's go to the woods, this thing cannot be seen by too many people."
He Bai rubbed his hands excitedly, and she liked this stimulation, "Sister-in-law, hurry up!"
The nest that Ming Lanying made for the wild ducks in winter is very strong, and it is still there. The wild ducks are too lazy to move their nests. They are all staying in the nest at this moment, looking down at the movements of the two.
Ming Lanying picked up the whistle whistle for a long time, gently folded her fingertips into the hole, took a deep breath, the strange little tone echoed slowly, very light and pointed, as if she was gently scratched in her ear, making people feel
Itchy.
But for a moment, the wild ducks in the forest started to scream one after another. He Bai was surprised that the animals running wildly from afar, big and small, and there were everything flying in the sky and on the ground!
He Bai was stunned and pulled Ming Lanying, who was still playing, "Sister-in-law, something happened..."
When the groups of animals suddenly stopped in front of them, He Bai was already stunned. Ming Lanying looked up at the animals lined up in front of her, and finally stopped and smiled with satisfaction.
Ming Lanying raised her hand and patted He Bai who was stunned, "I'll take you to see you, why are you panic!"
He Bai shook his hands and looked at her blankly, "Sister-in-law, these... are all you called?!"
Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows and smiled confidently. Fortunately, her kung fu is not as good as that of the past, so she still called this animal, and she was not afraid that He Bai would tell her. This silly girl is still very reliable in keeping her secrets.
He Bai looked at the little spider and scorpion at his feet, quietly dormant there; as big as wild deer and tiger, his round eyes stared at her calmly; suddenly there were more snakes hanging on the tree, well-behaved
He spitted out a snake letter motionlessly, and even the flying butterflies and bees were flying around him!
He Bai's whole body trembled and didn't want to gain any knowledge. Now he was afraid of only escaping. Although she was very skilled and brave, she was also very good at martial arts, but she was for people, for these beasts, and she was hairless.
She was only afraid.
He hid slowly behind Ming Lanying, his voice was filled with a little crying: "Sister-in-law! I've seen it a lot, really... please ask them to go back..."
Ming Lanying was not uncomfortable with all kinds of animals that gave people goose bumps, and she was even a little kind, but when she saw He Bai was so scared that she almost fainted, she stopped teasing her and played a small tune.
"I'll ask some questions, don't you want to know how your brother is?"
He was here, and he just asked and left before leaving. He Bai sucked his nose and closed his eyes and pressed it tighter behind her, "...I think, ask quickly!"
Ming Lanying asked one by one, but few people knew about Ye Juelu’s news, but it was not considered good news. When sending these animals away, a snow wolf was the last one to leave. It begged Ming Lanying to help him take care of the children.
On the frontier, snow wolf is not rare, but it cannot withstand human greed. The fur of snow wolf is pure and flawless, which is a good thing that humans use to buy and sell and flatter. In just a few years, snow in the frontier has been the first to be a good thing.
Most of the wolves have been captured, and the rest have been hidden in the mountains or fled to other places.
This was just hiding in front of me. Unexpectedly, it was discovered by the greedy humans while hunting. It was alone with its companion and wolf clan. The humans accidentally killed one of the snow wolfs, leaving only this female one.
Ming Lanying lowered her whistle and looked at it quietly. The snow wolf could directly understand her words, which was more convenient. "Why?"
He Bai heard Ming Lanying suddenly speak, quietly opened one eye, and saw that the animals were gone, leaving only a strong and beautiful snow wolf sitting in front of her, baring her teeth and slapping her tail fiercely.
Snow Wolf growled unwillingly, "Two people are catching us, wanting our skin, my partner has been killed by them, I want to take revenge, I have only one child, it has just been born, a new head in the wolf pack
The wolf will not leave my child, I secretly brought it out, and I hope you can raise it for me, and it will be the best hunter."
"Why do I give it to me? What if I use your child to raise money like them?" Ming Lanying played with the whistle. With her ability, she was confident that she could raise Xiaoxuelang well.
"You can understand our words, and your abilities can also make us surrender. I would rather trust you. You are different from those people. You are special. Please help me." The female wolf lowered her head and said to Minglan.
The meaning of the oriole surrender.
Ming Lanying understands the living habits of wolves. The wolf's companion is the wolf's head wolf. The wolf's head wolf is killed by humans. The wolf's pack will select a new wolf, and it is born as a female wolf, or a new one.
The head wolf becomes a mate and either becomes the lowest wolf in the pack or exits the pack.
But wolves are also one of the species that is dedicated to their arduousness. They will only have a life of death when choosing to avenge their partners. However, their children are the cubs of the previous wolf. They will not be left behind and will only be killed in the wolves.
The survival rules of creatures in nature are the prey of the weak. Its original intention is to let the children die on their own, but now it has met Ming Lanying and given it a different hope, so it chooses to make Ming Lanying a special one.
Humans raise their cubs for it.
Its heart to take revenge was something that she could not stop, but both mothers were for the sake of their children. Ming Lanying sighed deeply, "I promise you, go and bring your cubs over."
”
"Thank you."
He Bai couldn't understand the wolf's words, but he could understand Ming Lanying's words. He blinked his eyes and watched Xuelang turn around and run back to the forest. His agile figure disappeared in front of them.
He Bai saw Ming Lanying waiting in place and asked, "Sister-in-law, are we going to wait for it?"
"Well, there's another member in our family."
"Is it the Snow Wolf?"
"Yes, little wolf cub."
"Sister-in-law, you are too strong!" He Bai cheered excitedly. Although he would always be subconsciously afraid and alert to wolves, it seemed that it was no big deal to have Ming Lanying here. He would be obedient in front of her.
