Huwa once traveled back and forth between Lucun and Taihao ruins several times in three days and nights. He walked through steep and pathless mountains in the wilderness, and had to climb towering snow peaks on the way. Today he led an army
It was nothing to cover such a short distance, and even Panhu didn't feel tired.
After a while, it was estimated that the sergeants had almost rested. Huwa stood up and shouted: "How are you feeling? Have you rested well? You are sweating all over in the cold weather. It is easy to sit for a long time in the wild.
Caught a cold!"
What does he mean by this? Does he humiliate everyone and cannot catch up? The captain jumped up and shouted angrily: "Young man, who are you? Don't rely on your own cultivation to dare to provoke the military formations guarding the city wall. I'm afraid you will regret it later.
It’s too late!”
Huwa smiled from a distance and said: "Aren't you going to arrest me? Why don't you even know who I am? Is it true that the military formation guarding the city can arrest people at will without asking for reasons?" After saying this, he continued
He led the jumping puppy and walked away. This time he walked slowly and leisurely because the military formation had not yet risen to pursue him.
One soldier said: "Captain, there is a village not far ahead. When passing through the village, his speed cannot be too fast. Let's shout from behind and ask the villagers in the village to intercept him. As long as there is a slight delay,
You can catch him."
The captain nodded and said: "Then hurry up and chase! We can spend the night in the village today."
Sixteen people got up and chased Huwa again. As soon as they moved, Huwa began to speed up. The sergeants had just rested for a long time, and now they were running very fast. There was a village not far ahead, and they could already see the mountains in the distance.
A piece of fields. Unexpectedly, Huwa suddenly turned to the left and entered the mountains and forests.
The sergeant also chased into the forest, with Huwa climbing the mountain in front. A group of people followed behind. The sergeants drew their swords and cut away the thorns and branches that blocked their sight from time to time. Sometimes Huwa's figure could not be seen clearly, but the footprints on the snow were
It is very clear that this person will never be able to escape!
Huwa did not escape far. The speed of walking in the mountains, forests and wild fields had obviously slowed down. He had to let others keep up. He did not want to tire out the sergeants. But the people following him felt very uncomfortable.
If we continue to pursue him, it will soon be dark. The captain gritted his teeth and said: "It will be inconvenient for him to travel in the mountains and forests after dark. We will definitely catch him."
But after chasing after each other, the sergeants also discovered something was wrong. Because Huwa had circled a mountain for more than half a circle, and the direction turned out to be going back. In other words, he left the road and took a circle in the wilderness.
No matter whether there is a road ahead or not, we just follow the direction and head towards Shuangliu Village.
The deputy captain said: "Look at the direction the thief is heading. It seems that he still wants to go to Shuangliu Village, but he is walking through the wilderness regardless of the road."
The captain mused: "That's fine. We can block him from the front and back in Shuangliu Village, and we won't have to chase him like this all the time... But today we have to spend the night in the mountains, so everyone should be careful."
When the last ray of golden sunlight disappeared in the mountains in the distance, the sergeants once again saw Huwa's figure clearly. They emerged from the forest. In front of them was a downward ravine, and beyond the ravine there was an open area further up.
The hillside was surrounded by hills on both sides. It was a sheltered place from the wind. Huwa found a flat rock and swept away the snow to sit down, and lit a fire next to it.
It was getting dark. Huwa was obviously preparing to camp. Of course he had to light a fire to keep warm in the snowy mountains. At this time, all the sergeants were also very tired. Going over mountains and ridges consumes more energy than running on the road. They are really all exhausted.
He couldn't run anymore. Although the boy looked very close, it was quite a long way down to the ravine and then up the hillside.
We have already chased them here, and it is impossible to go back today. The captain ordered us to choose a spot to camp on the hillside here, swept away the snow on a flat area, and lit three fires.
Take a break and take turns keeping watch at night to watch for the movements of the murderers over there.
There was only one murderer, and if he fell asleep in the middle of the night, he might be able to sneak over and catch him, and he could kill the dog with a bow and arrow in advance - this is what the captain thought when he gave the order.
The military formation's pursuit out of the stronghold was a temporary operation. I never imagined that it would come to such a ghost place. Although a fire was lit in a sheltered place, it still felt very cold because everyone was hungry. The military formation was originally stationed in Shuangliu.
In the stronghold, it was impossible to bring dry food with them when they were chased out. After such a huge physical exertion, the stronger the man felt, the hungrier he felt. However, he had no choice but to endure it for the time being.
They only saw the tiger baby, but the dog did not know where to go. Some of the tired sergeants were already lying next to the fire with their clothes on and began to sleep. At this time, they heard several dog noises coming from the forest on the other side of the ravine.
Yelling, Huwa stood up and walked over. After a while, he dragged a beast out of the forest again.
The sergeants were all surprised. The dog actually ran to find prey, and summoned the murderer to hunt a roe deer in the forest. This made people feel angry and depressed, and everyone's stomachs were rumbled with hunger.
He screamed, but he could only swallow his saliva and stare.
Unexpectedly, the tiger boy dragged the roe deer down the hillside in the snow, crossed the ravine, and walked towards the sergeants' camp. The sergeants jumped up one after another and drew out their swords to prepare for battle. The captain also picked up the sword nervously.
Got a bow and arrow.
Huwa stood still just outside the range of the captain's bow and arrow, threw the roe deer forward and said: "You guys must be very tired after chasing for a day. The snow is windy and cold, and if you stay hungry for the night, you may get sick.
Yes. I just killed a roe deer, so you can just eat it without being polite to me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked back, walked down the mountain leisurely, and sat down peacefully next to the fire on the opposite hillside. The sergeants, on the other hand, looked at each other, holding weapons in their hands for a long time without reacting.
Unexpectedly, I would encounter such a thing today!
A soldier whispered: "Captain, that roe deer...can we drag it over and roast it? Do you think...could he be poisoned?"
The captain held a long bow and stamped his feet angrily: "What kind of thing is this? He made us chase him for a day, and then he shot a roe deer for us to eat. Is he walking the dog?"
However, the vice-captain spoke very matter-of-factly and whispered: "Just wash and peel the roe deer in the snow, roast it and order one person to eat it first. If nothing happens, then everyone will eat as well."
Someone asked: "Who will eat first?"
The captain said bitterly: "I'll eat it first! It's clearly a roe deer that was just hunted, and there's no way he could have poisoned it... When I've eaten enough and slept well, I have to catch up with him tomorrow no matter what, otherwise I'll be in vain for the Sixth Formation of the Rainbow."
One of the captains!"
The sergeants did not dare to say anything, so they quickly dragged the roe deer over and skinned it. There was no water nearby, but scrubbing it with snow would be enough. The roe deer meat was pierced on the branches and inserted into the long knife, and it was quickly roasted until it became sizzling and oily. It exuded an alluring aroma. Everyone was already very hungry, and their appetites whetted their appetites when they smelled the smell. They didn't let the captain eat first, so they all started to take a big bite.
The captain used his waist knife to cut off a few pieces of the fattest meat, threaded them on an arrow shaft, carried his bow and walked down the mountain towards the place where Huwa was camping. Huwa seemed to be in a state of trance, but the captain walked away. Recently, he opened his eyes and smiled: "You came here at night with barbecue, do you want to sit down and have a good chat?"
The captain had a sullen face but did not answer. He stood still, raised his bow and shot an arrow. The arrow happened to be inserted next to the fire lit by the tiger boy. The tiger boy couldn't help but nodded and praised: "You have exquisite archery skills and amazing skills. There are several pieces of meat on the rod, but it can actually shoot so far without missing the mark!"
This was clearly a compliment, but it sounded like a harsh taunt to the captain. He turned around and went down the mountain without saying a word, and returned to his camp. A soldier came over and asked in a low voice: "Captain, what are you doing?" Why should we give him meat? If he is full and has strength, won’t it be even harder to chase him tomorrow?”
The captain said in a muffled voice: "The roe deer was originally hunted by others, but they were sent to us to eat. How can we come and not go back? When the meat is roasted, of course we have to send it to others. As for other things, we will wait until the person is caught. Say it again!”
Over there Panhu ran to the fire, sniffed and smelled the meat on the arrow shaft, and seemed a little greedy. Huwa nodded and said with a smile: "They are eating meat, so let's eat meat too."
…
The sixteen elite soldiers in the military formation ate an astonishing amount of food and ate a roe deer cleanly. Someone spread the skin of the roe deer with the outside facing up and asked the captain to lie on it to rest. After eating the meat, his body felt warm. The sergeants had been tired all day, and fatigue soon came over them. Except for those who took turns keeping watch, everyone else fell asleep soundly as soon as they lay down, snoring one after another.
Huwa and the group of sergeants looked at each other strangely across a ravine. There was no conversation that night. No one took advantage of the darkness to sneak up on Huwa, and Huwa also did not move over to attack the sergeants. When the sun rose the next day At that moment, Huwa stood up and moved his muscles and bones next to the extinguished fire. The movements were all thought out by himself, as if he was imitating various animals in the wilderness.
The sergeant on duty woke up his companions and called to the captain: "That man got up, should we chase him?"
The captain was already being tormented by the tiger boy and felt like he was going crazy. He shouted angrily: "Chase, of course we must chase, catch up with all our strength as fast as possible!" As he spoke, he strode down the hillside with a bow and arrow on his back, and the soldiers also followed. He rushed behind him, and there was another soldier who silently rolled up the roe deer belt beside him.
Seeing that the pursuers were coming again, Huwa summoned Panhu and stepped into the forest. Today's pursuit was very interesting. The military formations following him, especially the captain, were obviously angry and gritted their teeth and had to catch up with Huwa. No, everyone gradually distanced themselves, and only the captain rushed to the front.
As fast as the captain is, so is Huwa's speed, always staying just outside the range of the bow and arrow. Yesterday they set out from Shuangliu Village at noon and chased until dark; today they are at dawn We set off at that time, walked through the mountains and forests, and headed in the general direction of Shuangliu Village.
