Chapter 67: The Little Eunuch Drives the Wolf to Rescue the Shepherd
The young eunuch rode north. At last count, the Empress Dowager had granted him a three-month vacation. It was already more than two months ago, and there was still no news from his Wu'er Sultan. Although the Empress Dowager would not blame him for delaying his return.
, However, he is a man of his word. He said March, March, and there is no delay for a single day. What if Ur-Sultan cannot be found by then? He also made a promise there, and it was promised for five years.
deadline. That year was the autumn moon, and now it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was supposed to be the time to keep the appointment. However, along the way, he chased and intercepted, and had many romantic encounters. The new wife found many young and old, but the old wife was a shadow.
There are no children. Thinking this, the little eunuch couldn't help but wave his whip and urge the horse to move quickly.
In October, the grassland has blue sky and light clouds, and the air is crisp and clear in autumn. There is a cool breeze blowing by, and the eyes are azure and green. The lark is no longer singing here, and the goshawks looking for food are nowhere to be found. Except for the occasional jump.
Except for the few wild animals that came out of the ground, there was almost no sound here. Only the red sun hanging high in the sky watched this land without squinting.
The little eunuch lost his way. He couldn't even identify things. When he asked for directions but there was no one to look for, he had no choice but to wander forward aimlessly. The old horse seemed to know the way and was back to where it had been before.
.Without anyone driving it, it just followed the path that no longer had a trace. The sound of hoofbeats could be heard, and the horse galloped happily on the deserted prairie.
Suddenly, a cloud of dusk appeared in the little eunuch's sight. Intuitively, it was not the change in the sky or the gathering of clouds. Something strange must have happened there. This was often the case during wars in the past. The little eunuch did not hesitate.
, preparing to go over to see what happened. He was not curious, nor did he want to have fun. It was better to meet someone of the same kind on this deserted vast grassland, no matter he was a good or bad person, than to be lost alone and unable to reach anything before dark.
It is much better to feed wild animals in people's places.
The little eunuch's horse was fast. The owner was not in a hurry, so his horse took advantage of the opportunity to take small steps and regained its energy. Therefore, in just a moment, the little eunuch had arrived at the scene of the accident. The little eunuch looked up.
, he was immediately shocked: a group of wolves was attacking a group of sheep. In order to protect his herd, the shepherd was fighting bloody battles with the wolves. The little eunuch counted about seven or eight wolves, and the shepherd was alone.
There was only one man, one horse, and two tall shepherd dogs. Although the number of sheep was countless, they were at best food for wolves to bite, movable plants, not counting. Faced with this bloody scene, the large group of sheep
Just for fear of delaying the time of grazing, they don't even bother to look at it, as if the master and the wolf are actually executioners, one will be killed now and the other will be killed later. There is no need to worry about their victory or defeat. It is better to have more time.
Take a few bites of grass.
The little eunuch quickly made a simple judgment on the situation in front of him: The first choice target of this group of wolves is of course the sheep, because they have already bitten one. At the same time, the shepherd's arrows also shot at the wolves, and a
The wolf fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, and two dogs surrounded the injured wolf and were barking in an intimidating manner. Logically speaking, these two ferocious dogs should help their masters defend themselves against the enemy, but in the end they chose
Go deal with this injured wolf that has lost its fighting ability. Probably they want to attack the enemy's weak link, and then go and see how the battle develops on the owner's side after making a breakthrough.
The owner of the dog was already unable to withstand his four hands (claws) with his fists. The wolves had abandoned their wounded soldiers and left the two stupid pig-like dogs to show off their power, while they themselves concentrated their superior forces and joined forces to attack the shepherd.
Deliver a fatal attack.
The shepherd held a bow in his left hand and a short knife in his right hand, dancing wildly with his hands. The two wolves feinted to attack from the front in order to attract the shepherd's attention. The two wolves lay on the ground panting, probably wanting to take a short rest.
The wolf got under the horse's belly in an attempt to bite the horse's object. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find it. It turned out to be a horse. A wolf jumped on the horse's back and was about to bite the shepherd's neck. The little eunuch "
He shot out an arrow with a whoosh, hitting the wolf's ear squarely.
The evil wolf screamed and fell down from the horse. The wolf pack was immediately in chaos. The little eunuch roared and used the soul seduction gun. The intestines of a wolf were hooked out in an instant. When the two dogs saw each other, they immediately came.
After regaining his energy, he left the injured wolf behind and helped the little eunuch pull out the wolf's intestines from a distance.
The seven wolves left behind two corpses and one wounded person, while the rest fled.
The shepherd jumped off the horse, knelt down at the feet of the little eunuch, and cried in thanks:
"Thank you brave man for saving your life. I can't repay you. You can just pick a sheep from the flock!"
The young eunuch also dismounted and helped the shepherd up, and said with a smile: "It's just a small gesture, so how can I say thank you? I have a question to ask. If the wolf wants to eat sheep, let it eat as many as it wants. Why are you risking your life to do so?"
The shepherd said: "The strong man does not know. If it is like you said, seven wolves and two sheep can fill their stomachs. But the wolves are so greedy that even a hundred of them will not be enough to cause harm to them!"
"How many can they eat?" the little eunuch wondered.
"Where to eat?" the shepherd explained, "They don't eat when they see such easy prey."
"Why don't you eat?" the little eunuch became more and more puzzled.
"Drink blood! They knock one down and suck out the blood before releasing the second one until they are full. Brother, think about it, can a young wolf say he won't drink the blood of a dozen wolves?"
The little eunuch laughed and cursed: "These greedy guys! Do they come to trouble you every day?"
"Is it okay to come here every day? I don't know what happened today. It seems that these wolves were attacked by hunters and went crazy. They probably haven't had time to hunt and find food for many days."
"Hunter? Do you have any hunters here?" the little eunuch asked.
"The herdsmen here generally don't hunt. Most of the ones who do hunt are people from the Shanyu family."
"Chanyu, so this is the Northern Kingdom? What kind of person is your Chanyu?"
"Our Chan is a woman named Ur-Sultan," said the shepherd.
"U'er Sultan?" the little eunuch exclaimed.
"Do you know our female Dan Yu Wang?" the shepherd was surprised.
"Get to know me a little bit," the little eunuch said, "Can you help me find your female principal?"
The shepherd shook his head and said, "I can't enter the palace, but I can lead you to the door of the palace. Then don't say that I led you there, and don't say anything about the wolf hurting the sheep."
"Why don't you dare to say that a wolf killed a sheep? Isn't this your sheep?"
"No, these are all sheep from the palace."
The little eunuch said nothing.
The shepherd added, "The road is still far away. You will stay at my grazing spot tonight. I will find someone to take over for me tomorrow and I will take you to Shan Yu's Mansion."
The young eunuch and the shepherd put three dead wolves on the back of the horse and were driving the sheep back. Suddenly, a team came face to face. Everyone was armed with a gun and a bow. There were also many prey hanging on the saddle bridge.
Being the first woman, she recognized the young eunuch at a glance. Before the young eunuch could react, she heard the headmistress pointing at him and shouting:
