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 so far there was no news about his Wu'er Sultan, whose return date had been delayed. Although the Empress Dowager would not blame him,
However, he is a man of his word. He said March, said March, and it is not easy to delay for a day. What if Ur-Sultan cannot be found by then? He also said it over there, and he also agreed on a five-year deadline.
It was the Autumn Moon that year, and now it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was supposed to be the right time to make an appointment. Nai He, along the way, he chased and intercepted, and had many romantic encounters. He found new wives of all ages, but the old ones were not even small.
After the eunuch thought this, he couldn't help but wave his whip and urge the horse to move quickly.
In October, the grassland has blue sky and clear clouds. When the autumn air is crisp, there is a cool breeze blowing past my face. The larks are no longer singing here, and the goshawks looking for food are nowhere to be found. Except for occasionally jumping out of the ground.
There are a few wild animals here, and there is almost no sound here. Only the red sun hanging high in the sky is watching this land intently.
The little eunuch lost his way. He didn't even know what he was looking for. He was looking for directions but there was no one to look for. He had no choice but to follow the horse's rein and walk forward aimlessly. The old horse seemed to know the way, and it seemed that he was back to where he had been before.
Driven by people, it follows the path that no longer has a trace. The sound of hoofbeats can be heard, and the horse gallops 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 the wars in the past. The little eunuch thought without thinking.
He was planning to go over to see what was going on. He was not out of curiosity, nor was he just trying to make fun. No matter whether he was a good or bad person, it was better to meet someone of the same kind on this deserted vast grassland than to be lost alone and unable to reach a house before dark.
The place is much better if you feed the beasts
The little eunuch's horse was fast. Because the owner was not in a hurry, his horse took advantage of the opportunity and took small steps to regain its energy. Therefore, in just a moment, the little eunuch had arrived at the place of the accident. The little eunuch looked up and immediately
He was shocked: a group of wolves was attacking a group of sheep. In order to protect his herd, the shepherd was fighting a bloody battle with the wolves. The little eunuch counted about seven or eight wolves, and the shepherd was alone.
There are also two tall shepherd dogs. Although the number of sheep is countless, they are at best food for wolves to bite, movable plants, and they cannot be counted. Faced with this bloody scene, the large group of sheep are just for fear of delay.
They didn't even bother to take a look at the grass, as if the master and the wolf were actually executioners, killing one now and the other later. There was no need to worry about their victory or defeat. If they had the time, they might as well take a few more bites of green 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. 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 to go.
To deal with this injured wolf that has lost its combat effectiveness, they probably want to attack the enemy's weak link. After making a breakthrough, they can go and see how the battle situation develops on the owner's side.
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 holds a bow in his left hand and a short knife in his right hand. He dances wildly with both hands and feints to attack the two wolves from the front in order to attract the shepherd's attention. The two wolves lie on the ground and gasp for air, probably wanting to take a short rest.
He got under the horse's belly and tried to bite the horse. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find it. It turned out to be a horse. A wolf jumped up on the horse's back, and just when he was about to bite the shepherd's neck, the little eunuch let out a "whoosh!"
An arrow, unbiased, hit the wolf's ear
The evil wolf screamed and fell down from the horse. The wolves immediately became chaotic. The little eunuch roared and used the soul seduction gun. The intestines of a wolf were pulled out in an instant. When the two dogs saw each other, they immediately became energetic.
, leaving the injured wolf behind, and helping the little eunuch pull out the wolf's intestines from afar
The seven wolves left behind two corpses and one wounded person, and 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. Please 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 doesn't know. It's like you said. Seven wolves and two sheep are enough to fill their stomachs. But the wolves are so greedy that even a hundred of them won't 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, and those who hunt are mostly people from the Shanyu family."
"Chanyu, so this is the Northern Kingdom? What kind of person is your Chanyu?"
"Our Chan is a woman, her name is Ur-Sultan," said the shepherd
"Ur Sultan?" the little eunuch exclaimed
"Do you know our Nv 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 gate of the palace. When you get there, don't say I took 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 didn't say anything anymore
The shepherd added: "The road is still far away. You will stay at my grazing point 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 the 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:
