Huashan female sword god

Chapter 388 386. Cats
Since the Ming Dynasty began to dispatch the grain of the Shu Han to the north and actively prepare for the war, the Northern Zhou Dynasty sent people several times to destroy the grain transportation.

Because they are not robbing food but destroying food, and all of them are first-class experts. Although there are few people, unless it is a large food team, a small food team like today can often succeed. It is too strong, and it is located in the Qinling Mountains thousands of miles away. It is impossible to encircle and suppress the army. The Ming army was deeply disturbed by it, so they could only make decisions on the people of each grain protection team. Today this grain team is a lure Among the thousands of people in the brigade, no matter whether they are soldiers or civilians, there are many veterans in the army who have been transferred from the Yubei Camp, so that they can wipe out the attackers at the beginning of the chaos.

And the commander of this grain team was only in his early twenties, a young man.

You Xingye didn't go to spy on the military situation, and other people would not take the initiative to talk to her, so they didn't know the truth, but after seeing this commander, she felt that this young man must be unusual.

Because he has a very interesting name.

His name is Zhu Xingzong.

……

Zhu Xingzong was bold and bold, asked about the situation, and briefly asked about the origin of his name. For this reason, he waved his hand and let it go, obviously very reasonable, even You Xingye didn't need to take out the military envoy token.

You Xingye didn't take the opportunity to spy on the military situation, and since he was allowed to go, he left.

After a few polite words, continue on the road.

The one-sided fight seen on the way was regarded as an accidental adjustment, but a few days later, when they were about to walk out of the vast Qinling Mountains, there was another small accident.

The day was approaching evening, and it happened that there was a village not far from the main road, so I went to find two families to spend the night and rest.

This village is very small, it is built along a small mountain stream, there are no more than a dozen families on both sides of the river, You Xingye, Mingyuetian and Lin Yunxi live in one house, Liang Wufa and Xie Fan and Xie Ying live in another house.

In the early morning of the next day, before he left, the village was noisy, and many people shouted things like "I caught it" and "Finally caught that thing".

You Xingye was curious, so he hurriedly grabbed the homeowner who was about to walk out the door and asked, "Uncle Li, what's going on?"

The family where the three of them stayed was named Li, and the neighbors called him Old Li. If they were familiar with each other, You Xingye would probably call him that, but now that they were unfamiliar, they called him Old Li.

Lao Li replied in a mouthful of official dialect with a local flavor: "It's stuffed with iron beasts!"

After some explanations from him, he realized that iron-eating beasts appeared on the nearby mountains recently. Several times when the villagers were not at home, they went into the house to steal food, such as chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, rice, vegetables and spatulas, alive and dead. I don’t pick any cooked ones, I eat everything, just eat it alone, but it also damages things, and the villagers are deeply disturbed by it. After discussion, they decided to take the initiative to hunt and kill it. In recent days, they set up a I set the bait in the trap, but I haven't been able to catch it for three or four days. Unexpectedly, this morning, I suddenly found that I was caught, and Lao Li grinned and complimented them, saying that they are lucky stars. got caught.

What is an iron eater?
The big guy who lives in Gouyu Cave is the ancestor of things like iron-eating beasts.

You Xingye only knew that it was a strange beast in Sichuan, but he didn't expect it to exist in Shaanxi. After asking in detail, Lao Li mentioned that some villagers had seen it with their own eyes. It was a kind of black and white flower bear. Iron Beast is correct, not some misunderstanding of the same "nickname".

There are several traps set up by the villagers. Today, the one who caught the panda was a one-foot-deep pit. When You Xingye followed the crowd to the trap, there was already a circle of people around the pit, pointing and amazed... ...Not everyone can see this strange beast.

At the bottom of the pit, there was a big black pot, a big fat chicken, and Chinese cabbage, which should be the bait. The panda was limping around at the bottom of the pit, obviously injured when it fell, but there was no blood on it. , still roaring anxiously.

Another hunter in the village brought a bow and arrow and wanted to shoot it, but was stopped by You Xingye, who spent 80 taels of silver to buy the beast from the villagers who set up the trap.Jumping down the big pit, under the astonished eyes of a group of villagers and the low roar of the panda's fear and alertness, he picked it up forcefully and flew back to Lao Li's house where he was temporarily staying.

This panda is not big, even if it stands up, it only reaches You Xingye's waist. It should be a young bear who has just left his mother and is only two or three years old.

After taking the money and silver, handing it over to a few villagers who followed and sending them away.

Lin Yunxi had already gotten up, looked at the panda who wanted to break out several times, but was repeatedly dialed back by You Xingye, and hid in the corner of the room in horror, exclaimed: "What a strange big cat."

You Xingye smiled and said: "You will admit your mistake if you look strange. He is a bear, not a cat."

"Huh?" Lin Yunxi was surprised.

You Xingye asked: "What do you think she looks like?"

Lin Yunxi stared at it, and said: "It's very beautiful, very cute... I really want to touch it." Unfortunately, as soon as it got close, it bared its teeth at her, but it was hard to get what it wanted.

Ming Yuetian said: "What did you buy this thing for?"

You Xingye said: "If I don't buy it, this little guy will die today."

Ming Yuetian said: "Then what are you going to do with it? Put it back on the mountain?"

You Xingye smiled and said: "Isn't there already a head at home? It's just right to take it back as a companion."

Lin Yunxi asked curiously: "Junior Sister, do you still have such a big cat in Yitian Palace?"

You Xingye nodded and said: "That's right, that end is a bit bigger than this."

Ming Yuetian frowned and said, "Trouble."

It is indeed troublesome.

It is of course extremely troublesome to take such a young bear, who can say whether it is important or not, whether it is big or small, to travel thousands of miles to Shu, and then go back to Huashan. This is especially true when you are injured, but it is a big trouble, as long as you have the heart, it is not a trouble after all.

You Xingye has already made up his mind to "adopt" this panda, and Ming Yuetian will let her go if he can't resist.

In fact, you can also send it back to Huashan first.However, in this way, it really takes a lot of work day and night to reach Tangmen before the Laba Festival. You Xingye would rather be more troublesome now, and don't want to tire herself so much.

He converted an ox cart into a simple cage, rented people, ox, and cart, and took the panda named "Baihei" by You Xingye on the road.

The ox cart couldn't go fast, so the journey slowed down.

The swordsman of the Xie family is more impatient than You Xingye. On the third day, he couldn't stand being so slow, so he left first, and he made it clear that he didn't know how to be tactful. Being human, but it didn't stop me.

On the way, You Xingye likes to tease the panda in the cage when he has nothing to do, and he really got to know her well. This little guy quickly became wary of her and became very close to her... But You Xingye knew that the result was not only She took the trouble to seduce a lot of bamboo, bamboo shoots, dried meat and so on every day, because not only for her, but also for the strange beast's attitude towards Ming Yuetian, even though Ming Yuetian didn't show any good face, let alone take the initiative to contact It, and except for them, has a different attitude towards the rest of the people. Anyone who gets close will immediately bark their teeth and look fierce.

Although I am not reconciled, what people have to admit is that this may be due to the light of the ancestor of the panda at home: some time ago, I often came into contact with black and white, was contaminated with its breath, and was felt by this little panda. close.Otherwise it cannot be explained.

It's just that closeness is closeness, and it's really a headache to feed this guy's belly.

Pandas are big eaters. Although this juvenile panda is not as good as an adult one, he definitely eats a lot. If he only eats bamboo, he will not be able to find so much to feed him when he is busy on the road. Fortunately, he is not picky eater , Willing to eat anything, along the way, it mainly feeds on various meats, including chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and other livestock bought from people, and wild animals such as roe rabbits, fish and birds hunted by itself, eating these is comparable to it Eat bamboo tube full.However, even if I hunt at least half of it, the remaining half is really expensive. If it weren't for the rich family, I really couldn't afford to support this thing.

It only took two or three days to get to Hanzhong, but this time it took eight days to get there with the panda.

After these days, "Baihei"'s little leg injury is almost healed, after arriving in Hanzhong, You Xingye released it, and it also followed closely, not taking the opportunity to escape or anything.

At the place where he was staying, You Xingye found a corner where there was no one and added a little reward to let the owner of the car who came all the way with the beast go back by himself.I went to buy an old horse as a spare...for Baihei.

She intends to direct a big drama about a silly beast riding a horse.

And before the big play was staged, it was natural to need to be taught, and when she set off the next day, she put her black and white body in front of her and rode together, and taught her hand in hand.

Go out of Hanzhong, take the golden bull, pass through Jianmen, and enter the Western Shu... until the first month of Huashan, and finally arrive at the Tiandu City in the middle of Shu.

It's a pity that Bai Hei is obviously not as smart as his refined ancestor, and he hasn't learned how to ride a horse for more than ten days, which makes You Xingye quite disappointed.
