Capital Datang

Among the cold and windy mountains, a team of dozens of people is walking along the mountain road.Today's weather is particularly bad. The whole sky is leaden gray and looks gloomy. With such a strong wind, it is estimated that it will snow soon.

"My lord, it's getting dark now, and the weather is not good. There will be heavy snow tonight. Let's find a place to stay early!" A burly man suggested to a young man in the middle of the team. road.This young man seemed to be in his 20s, but he was clearly dressed more elegantly than the others, and he was very handsome. He was the leader of the entire team at a glance.

I saw this handsome young man looked up at the sky, and agreed with the burly man's suggestion: "Well, Xiao Wu, you can arrange it, and see if there is any place to stay nearby. Find a shelter from the wind and camp!"

"Yes, my lord!" Xiao Wu agreed, and immediately ran to the front to find a place to live, but what they were currently in was a barren hill, and it didn't look like a place where people lived.

The members of this team are all from Prince Qi's Mansion. The young man at the head is Li Yin's uncle Xiao Lin. Regarding the immigration issue in the Jianzhou area, and immigration officers like him, a total of 50 people were sent out from the Qi Palace, and each person was responsible for at least one state.Under these immigration officers, there are more than ten to twenty teams in charge. These teams are assigned to their respective areas of responsibility to persuade and organize fugitives to Taiwan.Capital Datang 462

When Xiao Lin and his team went all the way to the top of the mountain, the burly man named Xiao Wu climbed up and looked from a distance.He even took out a very expensive telescope, which he finally discovered.On the mountainside not far away, there is a dark cave.And it seems that the area is not small, it should be enough for them to rest for a night.

When Xiao Lin learned that there was a cave below, he was also very happy.He has a total of fifteen teams, which are distributed in various fugitive gathering areas around Jianzhou. The team he leads is also one of them. In addition to persuading and organizing the relocation of fugitives, he also needs to count and estimate the number of refugees in Jianzhou. number of refugees.

The sky became more and more gloomy, Xiao Lin and the others were also worried that it would snow suddenly, so they all quickened their pace.I want to get to that cave as soon as possible.It is worth mentioning that Xiao Lin's team consisted of 51 people, among them besides Xiao Lin, there were thirty guards and twenty small officials in charge of immigration, all of whom were Xiao Lin's subordinates.And Xiao Wu is the general that Xiao Lin brought from home, he is not only brave, but also very loyal, and now he is the guard commander of the entire team.

Anyone who has climbed a mountain knows it.In fact, going up the mountain is much easier than going down the mountain, especially when the mountain road is difficult to walk, I am even more worried, for fear of accidentally rolling down.This is the case with Xiao Lin and the others now.Originally, as Xiao Lin, no matter where he went, there were horses to ride on, but it's a pity that the mountain road here is not to mention riding a horse.It's pretty good to be able to walk.

Xiao Lin has been a pampered young master since he was a child, although he has always liked riding a horse and shooting arrows since he was a child.The body is relatively strong, but since the time when I was an immigration officer.He suffered a lot.Because the places where the fugitives live are generally very remote, most of them are mountainous areas, and some places don’t even have roads, so they have to run around in the mountains, delivering news of Taiwanese immigrants to one refugee settlement after another. .

It is precisely because of this that Xiao Lin is now darker and thinner than before. Although he is still a very handsome young man, the femininity he used to have in his body is much less, and on the contrary, he has a bit more masculinity. It made him look a lot more powerful. He didn't look like a civil servant, but a military general.

Xiao Lin resisted the stinging pain under his feet, and followed the team forward with one deep foot and one shallow foot. From the very beginning when he entered the mountain, there were many blisters on his feet. Although he pricked them with a needle later, they still Still ups and downs, ups and downs, the first thing before going to bed every night, he has to pop the blisters.Now the heels on his feet were worn out again, and every step he took was painful.

After finally arriving in front of the cave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go in to clean up and have a good rest, but unexpectedly three people rushed out of the cave.These three people are one old and two young. The old one looks to be five or sixty years old, with gray hair and beard, a square face full of wrinkles, wearing a jacket made of animal skin, carrying a hunting bow on his back, and carrying a Holding a hunting fork, it seems that he should be an old hunter.As for the two young ones, their clothes were similar to those of the old hunter, and their appearance was somewhat similar to that of the old hunter. They were both tall and thin with square faces. It seemed that they should be a father and son.

Seeing the three people rushing out, Xiao Wu and some guards in front immediately drew their knives on guard. After all, not all the fugitives were good people. On the way, they encountered some such fugitives. Fortunately, Xiao Wu and the others were specially selected soldiers, so there was no danger.

The old hunter saw so many people on the other side, and there were many guards with knives. He was also very nervous at the moment, but he still said: "We are hunters nearby. Who are you and why did you come here?"

Seeing that there were only three people on the other side, and they didn't look like robbers, so Xiao Lin asked Xiao Wu and the others to put down their knives, and then came forward and said, "Hi, old man, we are officials from the Qi Palace. Looking for fugitives, I heard that there are many fugitives in this mountain, so we came here."

Xiao Lin knew from looking at each other's appearance that these hunters must also be fugitives, and he came here for them, so he didn't hide anything, and directly stated his purpose for coming.

However, after hearing Xiao Lin's words, the old hunter immediately showed an unfriendly attitude: "You are from the government, do you want to arrest the fugitives and send them back to their original places?"

Xiao Lin guessed that the other party would have this kind of reaction. They had met many times along the way, so he was not in a hurry, but patiently explained his identity to the other party, and explained it in detail Taiwan's immigration treatment, and finally took out the notice with the seal of the Jianzhou government, which finally made the other party half-believed. Although he hadn't completely let go of his vigilance, his attitude was much better than before. At least the old hunter Lu 』Show a smiling face and welcome them into the cave.

Entering the cave, Xiao Lin and the others discovered that this cave is indeed a good place. The whole cave is not too deep, only tens of meters, but at the innermost part, it suddenly turns a corner, and inside is a hall similar to There are obviously signs of repairs around this hall, and there are still a lot of firewood stored. It seems that the old hunters should often live here. In addition, the wind cannot blow in here, and they cannot be seen outside when they are lit inside. It's a great place to camp.

After Xiao Lin sat down, the old hunter said with a smile: "This cave is the resting place for our father and son when we go hunting, so we have prepared some things. If you don't mind, then let's rest here. Let the children boil water and cook for the adults!"

"You are welcome, old man. We all brought dry food, but we need to borrow your firewood to boil some hot water for cooking!" Xiao Lin said immediately after hearing what the old hunter said.He knew that these fugitives usually didn't even have enough to eat, so how could they have any extra food to greet them, so he rejected the other party's offer to cook.And the old hunter did not keep any food in the cave, and he was just being polite just now, but now he heard Xiao Lin say so, so he didn't insist anymore, he just asked his two sons to help him very enthusiastically.

Taking this opportunity, Xiao Lin took a look at the cave, and found that in the innermost part of the cave, there were several beddings, and on the wall were several frozen animal meat and dried animal skins.In addition, Xiao Lin also saw an iron pot and several broken bowls on a piece of bluestone. The pot was steaming, and it looked dark. I don't know what it was boiled in. There were also half a bowl The pickles and the three black and gray steamed buns, but they have not been touched, it seems that the father and son are preparing to eat.

The people brought by Xiao Lin are used to spending the night in the wild, so they all carried a lot of dry food on their backs. Now there is firewood in the cave, and under the leadership of the old hunter's son, they also brought a lot of water from the stream not far from the cave. .Because the old hunter only has one pot here, and there is their food in it, Xiao Lin and the others can't borrow it either.But it doesn't matter, Xiao Wu's guards all wear military helmets, and after taking them to the water's edge to wash them clean, it becomes a very good iron pot.Capital Datang 462

After this period of experience, Xiao Lin has already gotten used to this kind of wild life, and he doesn't have much pretensions, so he also helps out. They all carry some military food, such as the kind of heavy cakes that look like slabs of bricks , They have a lot of them on their bodies, as long as a small piece is knocked off from the top, and then boiled in a pot, it will quickly turn into a pot of soup that tastes weird but is extremely nutritious.

After the soup was cooked, Xiao Wu and the others took out the bread from the bag, and put it on the fire to heat it up. They also took out several bamboo tubes, which contained canned food, which they learned from the army. People who want to go out will open the cans of glass bottles and put them in bamboo tubes, so there is no need to worry about breaking the glass bottles.But this method can only be used in the cold winter. If it is changed in other seasons, the things in the bamboo tube will all stink within a few days.

The old hunters saw that Xiao Lin and the others quickly prepared the meals, and everything was new to them, especially when they smelled the aroma of the meals and looked at the black corn buns they ate, the hunters and their son were a little sad .But at this time Xiao Lin said with a smile: "Old man, thank you for allowing us to live here. If you don't dislike it, please come and eat with us with your two elder brothers. In addition, I also have a few questions I want to ask. Just a moment." (To be continued.)
