country

The night was long and the wind was slightly cold.

Su Mayou's eyelids were about to fight, Xue Poye saw it, smiled and said: "Go to sleep, I can watch alone, I will call you if there is something else."

Su Mayou cheered up quickly, waved his hands and said: "It's not good, it's too boring to be alone, and you will fall asleep soon." Blinking his eyes, he said, "Brother Choushi, why don't we talk."

"Speak?" Xue Poye was taken aback for a moment, and quickly said, "Say what?"

"Hmm...your kung fu!" Sumayou asked curiously, "Xiao Shi is your apprentice, if his kung fu is so good, your kung fu must be very good too?"

"My kung fu?" Xue Poye shook his head thoughtfully: "It's nothing." Looking at Su Mayo's wildly beautiful face, he asked, "What about you? Your kung fu started from Where did it come from? I mean your long whip, and the routines in it don’t seem to be the kung fu of you Beihu people.”

Su Mayou showed a look of admiration, and said: "Brother Choushi, you are really amazing, have you seen it? Yes, this is not our Beihu's kung fu, our Beihu's kung fu, it is horseback riding, archery and wrestling. Compared to these, no one in the world can beat us. This whipping method was taught to me by you Chu people."

"Chu people?" Xue Poye couldn't help touching his nose, and asked, "Did you learn it this time when you went to the Central Plains?"

Su Mayou shook his head and said, "No. The master who taught me how to whip the whip came from the Great Chu Kingdom to our grassland. I saw that he is very good at martial arts, so I asked him to teach me."

"So that's it!" Xue Poye had a strange smile on his "ugly" face, and Su Mayo, who had a straightforward personality and didn't judge people based on appearance, didn't have the slightest dislike for this ugly man, because Xue Poye's martial arts Because, and even more because of his life-saving grace, Sumayou is only full of gratitude to him.

"Brother Choushi, when you arrive at the grassland, the great wizard will cure your illness, can you stay a little longer, and then...!" Su Mayou glanced at Xue Poye, her pretty face flushed slightly: "Then teach me effort?"

Although she doesn't know much about martial arts in the Central Plains, but having seen Xiaoshi's killing methods, Su Mayou firmly believes that this big brother ugly stone must have a strong martial arts practice. Although she is a woman, she has a paranoid preference for martial arts. A little abrupt, but still actively asked Xue Poye to teach her kung fu.

Xue Poye smiled faintly, and said: "Let's talk about it." After a pause, he unexpectedly asked inexplicably: "You... you left Beihu, your... man doesn't care about you?"

"A man?" Sumayou was taken aback for a moment, then understood what he meant, blushed, lowered her head and said, "I...I don't have a man yet."

This topic was a little embarrassing, and even more ambiguous. After Xue Poye asked the question in a strange way, he also felt a little embarrassed, laughed dryly, touched his nose and turned his head away.

The atmosphere was a little deserted for a while, at this moment, the unlucky bandit groaned twice, Su Mayou immediately ran over, kicked twice on the head, the bandit fell asleep again, Xue Poye sneaked a glimpse of it, and secretly said in his heart "Northern Hu women are tough." Suddenly thinking of his two wives, if Xiao Suzhen and Yuezhu stand up for others, they may only be tickled.

This night was very difficult, although there was a beautiful girl from Beihu, but she was afraid of being caught by her, so Xue Poye tried to talk as little as possible, and occasionally struck up a conversation without saying a word, but it was just some customs of Beihu .

After midnight, both of them were extremely sleepy, and the bandits didn't know whether they were really dizzy for a long time or because they were afraid that some "masters" would strike again. Anyway, they were all lying in the corner like dead bodies. at every turn.

Sometimes Xue Poye saw that the fire was getting dark, so he went to fill some firewood, so as not to freeze the small stones.

After another half an hour, Chinatai finally woke up, woke up Xiao Shitou, and the two came to change shifts, Xue Poye and Su Mayo then went to rest on the haystack.

Although the two were not close together, the distance was not far away. Xue Poye fell asleep in a haze when he smelled the soul-stirring fragrance of Su Mayou.

The night was spent peacefully, and those bandits obviously didn't have the guts to come back.

At dawn the next day, Xiaoshitou and Chinatai made rice porridge and barbecue. The four of them ate and tidied up before heading out on the road.Before leaving, Chi Natai wanted to kill the three bandits one by one, but was persuaded by Xue Poye, so she gave up and left the three bandits behind.

Three horses and four people rushed to Beihu Prairie again.

The ancient crossing of the Hanshui River passed smoothly, and the journey went smoothly. At noon, the thick and blurred shadow of the Qilin Mountains could be seen from a distance, but a few people also understood that the Qilin Mountains seemed very close, but in fact they were still far away. , if you want to arrive, it will take more than half a day.

A few people rested on their horses, and Su Mayou led Chinatai to the nearby woods to hunt some wild game and came back. They barbecued by the roadside. mountains.

The Qilin Mountains are undulating, like two unicorns crawling on the vast land, with their heads facing Beihu and their tails facing Dachu. Between the two unicorns is the world-famous Qilin Valley.

Perhaps the people of Beihu and Dachu couldn't tell when the Kylin Mountains were formed. When the old people mentioned the Kylin Mountains, they would add "a long time ago". The debates are quite heated.

The Qilin Mountains used to be the Beihu prairie. According to the Beihu people, the Qilin Mountains were on the border of the Beihu and naturally belonged to the territory of the Beihu. However, the Chu people fought back. According to ancient legends, this towering and rolling mountain range It is called "Kirin Mountain Range", and the word "Kirin" is the mascot of the Central Plains. This mountain range is named after the Chu language. There is no doubt that it is naturally the territory of the Great Chu Kingdom.

Fighting and fighting, in fact, no one has really been able to grasp this mountain range until now.

There are rolling ridges on both sides, and the Qilin Valley between the two mountains is deep and wide, mysterious and beautiful. It is full of towering ancient trees and exotic ivy that grew in unknown years.

The ancient trees like mushroom clouds are green all the year round, and you can’t see the side at a glance. This is a very strange phenomenon, maybe because the ridges on both sides protect the climate of the valley, or this kind of ancient trees are green all the year round, no matter what, Pedestrians passing by here will be amazed at the masterpieces created by God here.

Pedestrians have already walked several roads in this large green valley, and the bandits of the Qilin Mountains are usually stationed at the Qilin Mountain Ridge. When they have free time, they will swim in the large valley, waiting for opportunities to rob.

There are too many big valleys. Although there are many bandits, it is absolutely impossible to block every road, and there are many roads that can pass in the ancient forest of green mushroom clouds.

The air in the big valley is fresh and refreshing, and the faint tree fragrance from the old trees and emerald trees makes every passer-by greedily inhale it.

In the big valley, there is even a clear stream flowing through, and the sound of the pattering water adds infinite vitality to the peaceful big valley.

Everything is beautiful at first, but as the old saying goes: "A deep forest is more dangerous." Under the green and beautiful appearance of the big valley, there are indeed dangers hidden. Naturally, the brunt are the bandits who rely on the Qilin Mountains to survive. The fleeing criminals, they hid in this place, living the life of licking blood on the knife edge every day, using the lives of others to ensure that they can continue to survive.

Originally, the bandits at Hanshui Ancient Ferry and Qilin Mountains were not considered very powerful, adding up to only a thousand people, but because Beihu and Dachu never sent troops to wipe them out, these bandits lived very well, and they didn't have to worry about life at all. Passers-by are going to grab it. After all, the circulation of goods between Beihu and Dachu is extremely inconvenient. As long as the special products of this country can be transported to other countries, the profits are enough for anyone with a little courage to take risks.

Man dies for wealth, bird dies for food, the truth remains unchanged from ancient times.

Merchants form caravans, large caravans will strengthen their guards, hire highly skilled guards to transport, and the cost is extremely high, while small caravans can only try their luck, just like the smuggling of later generations, if you block them, you will succeed Get rich, lose and die.

In addition to the bandits here, the most threatening thing in the Dagu Valley is the poisonous snakes and beasts living here.

The Qilin Mountains are undulating for hundreds of miles, and the big valley is also hundreds of miles wide. There are many ferocious beasts living in this big valley full of ancient trees. Except for the prairie wolf that occasionally broke in from the grassland, there are primitive people living here. Bears, lions and cheetahs, tigers, snakes and jackals are the real masters of this valley. No matter what kind of people enter the valley, they will be their enemies. They will tear the enemy's chest with their sharp teeth and claws.

The bandits in the Qilin Mountains sometimes have to be afraid of these beasts, so they can't appear in any corner of the valley anytime and anywhere to rob. Over the years, hundreds of bandits have died, and the bandits have also mastered the beasts. About the time and location of the activity, when the wild beasts are inhabiting, the activity will be robbed in the area where the wild beasts do not often appear.

"A lot of wild wolves here come from our grassland." Sumayou said with great interest: "In winter, the shepherds watch their cattle and sheep, and the wild wolves will run to the big valley if they can't find anything to eat. Come on, although they are afraid of lions and tigers, there are also rabbits and mountain deer here, as long as they are lucky, they can eat good fresh meat in winter."

Chi Natai also said: "Sometimes we don't have any fresh meat, so we will come into the valley with bows and arrows, and hunt some prey back."

Little Stone was full of curiosity about this beautiful valley, and asked, "Are there any hunters from the Great Chu Kingdom? Will they come here to hunt?"

"Great Chu Kingdom?" Chi Natai curled her lips: "Great Chu Kingdom does not have such warriors, only us Beihu warriors have the courage, Great Chu Kingdom...hehe, there are only bandits here."

Little Shitou blushed, and shouted: "You nonsense, you nonsense, we... We have warriors in our Great Chu, don't those bandits also have you Huren? You...!" He was very angry, very annoyed.

Knowing that she had made a slip of the tongue, Chinatai was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Xiao...Xiaoshi, don't be angry, my sister said the wrong thing." He smiled heartily: "There are warriors in the Great Chu Kingdom, you and Brother Choushi are not the same. Is it a warrior from the Great Chu Kingdom?"

Su Mayou also giggled and said, "Xiaoshi, you are a man, do you care about like a woman?"

With a bitter face, Xiao Shitou turned around and said, "Master, look, they bullied me."

Xue Poye touched Xiaoshitou's small head, and smiled on his face: "Xiaoshi... well, this big Chu country is the same as Beihu, there are heroes and warriors, no matter which ethnic group, they will have My own heroes and warriors. Just like us Chu people have good people and bad people, so does Beihu, it’s just human nature.”

The three of them bowed their heads in deep thought, deeply convinced.

The two horses of Su Mayou and Xue Poye walked side by side on the narrow road, and there were tall and lush old trees on both sides. Walking under the old trees and smelling the fragrance of the trees was indescribably pleasant.

"Brother Choushi, have you seen a prairie wolf?" Sumayou asked.

Xue Poye shook his head. He had watched Animal World on TV and knew that there were many kinds of wolves, but he really didn't know what the prairie wolf looked like.

"The prairie wolf is bigger than the common wolf, and its teeth are longer and sharper, and its strength is much stronger than the common wolf." Su Mayou explained with great interest: "To kill the prairie wolf, it takes a knife Be ruthless, you can't fight it for a long time, human strength can't support it."

Xue Poye rubbed his nose and smiled, "Then you killed the prairie wolf?"

Chinatai interjected later: "Sumayou is the most famous female warrior on our grasslands. She killed prairie wolves when she was 13 years old. In the past eight years, not a hundred prairie wolves have died in her hands. There are also eighty heads."

Although Xue Poye knew that Su Mayou was not an ordinary person on the grassland, he was still surprised by what Chinatai said.

He looked at Su Mayo carefully, and he really didn't expect this plump girl to have such abilities.

Su Mayou was not pretentious, and smiled heartily: "Chinatai is right, I have killed 83 prairie wolves, and every year I kill ten prairie wolves to practice kung fu."

"You...you are only 21 years old?" Xue Poye wondered.

Sumayou's body is fully mature, the plump breasts, firm and round thighs, and the white and tight buttocks have all proved that the body of this Beihu girl is completely ripe, like a ripe fruit , can be picked at any time, Xue Poye knows that girls in this era are not too late to mature, but a girl with such a mature and attractive figure is only 21 years old, which is really unexpected, I thought she was over 25 years old.

Su Mayu nodded and said, "Yes, Su Mayou will be 21 years old in two months."

Xue Poye rubbed his nose, and was about to say something, at this moment, a shadow suddenly flickered in the corner of his eyes, just like lightning, and vaguely saw the shadow rushing down from midair.

Out of the corner of Xue Poye's eyes, he saw a ferocious beast leaping down from the shade of the ancient Mushroom Cloud tree and rushing towards Sumayou.

I don't know if it's the nature of men to protect women, or Xue Poye's chivalrous heart at this moment, his body actually rushed towards Su Mayo, he knew that if he couldn't throw Su Mayo off the horse, then Su Mayo His life is very likely to be ruined in an instant under the sharp claws of this monster.

Su Mayo didn't realize that the monster was attacking from mid-air, and seeing Xue Poye suddenly rushing madly, he was shocked, only in the blink of an eye, Xue Poye had already flew over, hugged Su Mayo's plump body, and then To fall off the horse.

With a ferocious roar, the monster landed on the horse's back. As the horse hissed in alarm, the monster's long whip-like tail swept across and hit Xue Poye's right arm hard. I felt a sharp pain in my right arm, accompanied by the sound of "click", knowing that my arm bone must be broken, endured the severe pain, and shouted: "Be careful."

This is a colorful and fierce leopard, hidden in the dense leaves of the old tree, when he saw Su Mayou approaching, he wanted to attack, but Xue Poye's speed was not inferior to the fierce leopard, he insisted on saving people from the leopard's mouth, and killed Su Mayou. Mayo jumped off her horse.

"Master!" Xiaoshitou turned pale with shock, and Chinatai was also extremely shocked. Both of them reacted quickly. Chinatai twitched his scimitar and rubbed against him, while Xiaoshitou pointed the iron fan at Liebao, Pull the mechanism, three "swish, swish" sounds, and all three cold stars hit Lie Bao's body.

It's just that the three poisonous needles hit Lie Bao's body like nothing happened, without any effect. Lie Leopard still rushed towards Xue Poye and Su Mayou who were lying on the ground as fast as lightning.

Su Mayou came to her senses at this moment, and realized that Xue Poye had saved her life again. Before she had time to think about it, she saw the fierce leopard rushing towards her, and shouted: "Little...be careful!"

Xue Poye already felt the strong wind behind him, knowing that the beast was attacking again, enduring the severe pain in his right arm, he twitched a few feathered arrows in the quiver box, grabbed them in the palm of his hand, and swiped back with his legs, "Bang! " With a sound, it hit Lie Leopard on the head.

This time, Xue Poye tried his best, and became even more ecstasy. The leopard let out a miserable cry, and there was a sound of bone cracking, but it didn't flinch at all, and a sharp claw had already touched Xue Poye's injured right arm. Arm, the big mouth full of sharp teeth spit out a stench, and bit off Xue Poye's neck.

Xue Poye gritted his teeth tightly, but at this moment of life and death, he was extremely calm, and the few feathered arrows in his hand went straight at the limit of a kind of human speed, and they just stuck into the mouth of Lie Leopard.

There was another miserable howl, Liebao's mouth hurt, and he couldn't attack anymore, and he backed up instantly. During this retreat, his sharp claws pulled Xue Poye's shoulders, his clothes were torn, his skin was torn, and his flesh was bloody. Xue Poye gritted his teeth and endured it. But he couldn't help but let out an "ah".

Su Mayou reacted and rose from the ground. The long whip in his hand was already shot, and it was drawn straight to the leopard's head. At the same time, Chinatai also disregarded personal safety, and his vigorous posture was like a swallow. The scimitar slashed fiercely at Lie Bao's body.

Xue Poye suffered severe pain in his shoulders and was unable to attack again. Seeing the three of them attacking the Leopard together, he leaned against the big tree. The sweat on his forehead was like rain. Quickly adjust the breath.

Sumayou and Chinatai are both female warriors on the prairie. Although the fierce leopard is fierce, the two are not afraid. Xiao Shitou is even a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. The three of them attack the fierce leopard together. Fight against three people under the big tree.

At this time, the three horses were neighing loudly and screaming, obviously terrified, but the horses just circled around in place and didn't run away. It must be because they were so frightened that they didn't even have the guts to run. .

Under the fighting, there were many thrills. Although Lie Leopard was killed by the three together and was covered with injuries, he almost injured the three on several occasions. Fortunately, the three of them were extremely agile. Su Mayou and Chinatai He has extremely strong combat experience, and Xiao Shitou, relying on the ability of ecstasy, is extremely fast, but he has avoided danger again and again.

The three poisonous needles that the small stone penetrated into Lie Leopard's body gradually became poisonous as Lie Leopard crazily bit and moved. , suddenly heard a shrill roar, Chinatai's curve had pierced Lie Leopard's eyes.

Xue Poye slightly opened his eyes, took out the cold blade, said in a deep voice: "Xiao...Xiaoshi, then...!" and threw the cold blade over.

Xiao Shitou flew to catch it, pulled out the blade, and there was a cold light everywhere, and a burst of cold air came out, Xiao Shitou knew it was a treasure, he clenched his teeth, his eyes were red, and joined the battle group again.

Lie Leopard stumbled, its two front legs turned suddenly, and it was about to go limp. When it went down, there were still several feather arrows stuck in its mouth. On the back, around Lie Leopard's neck, the cold blade was everywhere, piercing deeply into Lie Leopard's throat, when the cold blade was pulled out, blood spurted out, the small stone didn't stop in his hand, like poking tofu The cold blade pierced in one by one, and blood sprayed everywhere.

Su Mayou stepped forward and strangled the leopard's neck with a long whip, while Xiaoshi's cold blade and Chinatai's scimitar mercilessly poked blood holes on the leopard's body one after another. The blood, like a fountain, splashed out from countless blood holes, it was poisonous, although it tried to struggle, it was already unable to move, allowing the three people to hack and kill, and after a short while, it stopped moving .

The three of them were out of breath, and the small stone was on Lie Bao's body, and he felt weak all over.

Although Su Mayou was also exhausted, but when he saw Xue Poye was still under the big tree, bleeding from his shoulder, he hurriedly put away his whip, ran over quickly, and shouted: "Chinatai, get the medicine quickly."

Chi Natai took out a small bag from her body, took out a few needle-shaped leaves from it, and ran to Xue Poye's side.

Su Mayo is a child of the prairie, and because she is in a hurry, she can't control other things. She pulled Xue Poye's shoulders and skirts, and saw that the shoulders were covered with flesh and blood, and her eyes were red. She took the leaves and chewed them in her mouth. , and his hands were not idle, he wiped the blood on his shoulders with a silk cloth, chewed the leaves, applied them on Xue Poye's shoulders, and then wrapped them up with a cloth towel.

But in desperation, she didn't realize that the skin on Xue Poye's shoulders was shiny and healthy, which was very different from the withered and yellow skin on his face.

"I owe you another life." Su Mayou looked at Xue Poye and said gratefully.
