Three days later, young herdsmen from nearby tribes drove their animals and dragged their blankets, and camped outside the Su Chuo tribe. Su Chuoxier and others announced to their tribes that the young people from each tribe were here to participate in the hunt, and they asked the tribesmen not to do so.
Panicked. Secretly, they began to organize the herdsmen into hunting teams according to the organization of marching and fighting. Every hundred people were divided into teams to shoot yellow sheep in designated areas, so as to train the cooperation between the herdsmen.
Xu Dayan immediately showed off his skills. How each team of troops passed messages, how to take care of each other, and how to identify officers who did not belong to the tribe but whose positions were above his own were all organized by his hands. In terms of individual military applications, Li
People originally have their own habits. After debates and deductions with the core figures of Su Chuixil, Xu Dayan took the Central Plains army as a standard and took the more reasonable parts and promoted them to the hunting team.
Compared with Xu Dayan's busy training of the army, the work assigned to Li Xu by the tribe is much simpler. He only needs to accompany the little wolf Ganluo in front of the team every morning when the herdsmen start training, and he is considered as the tribe's leader.
Gan Luo seemed to be born to be a magic stick. Whenever he appeared side by side with Li Xu in front of the herdsmen, he could always put on a dignified and generous posture. Therefore, every morning, when one man and one wolf walked out
In the camp and in the surrounding fields, there are always cheers like the mountains are cracking: "Fu Li, Fu Li!"
Fu Li means wolf in the language of the Xi clan, and also represents a bodyguard. Since Li Xu was introduced by the clan leaders as the bodyguard of Silver Wolf, within a few days, he had the same name of the Xi clan, Fu Li.
As for Xu Dayan, everyone from the patriarch Xier to the ordinary shepherds imitated Aunt Qing and called him sir with great respect.
In order to thank the two young men for their contribution to the tribe, Su Chuoxil continued to donate the prey captured by the herdsmen to the two men. Through the discussion of the elders, more than a dozen horses and five hens were transferred from the common supplies of the tribe.
The cattle and more than 70 sheep belong to the two people's names. According to the rules of the Lin tribe, these livestock do not need to be managed by two young men. Naturally, the youths of the tribe will lead the herdsmen to go out in turns every day to drive the livestock of the entire tribe.
Go to the wild to graze. As for the milk, lambs, etc. that will be harvested in the future, the elder Bo Ge, who is responsible for the baggage management, will count them and add them to their property.
As a result, the two teenagers immediately jumped into the wealthy class of the tribe. They were more open-minded when drinking with others, and from time to time they could give some gifts in return to express their gratitude to their masters. However, Aslan and others seemed to have achieved this a long time ago.
They had a tacit understanding that no matter what the two of them gave as gifts, they would definitely return double the gifts the next day. After repeated exchanges, Li Xu was so frightened that he did not dare to be generous anymore.
"Fu Li, we will go hunting as a team in a few days, will you join?" One day after drinking, Aslan asked with a hint of drunkenness.
"Go, but my riding and shooting skills are too poor, I will definitely let you down!" Li Xu replied readily. After more than ten days of interaction, his Turkic language has made great progress. Influenced by the young people of the surrounding Sino people,
His personal character gradually became a bit more bold and bold as a prairie man.
Li Xu had poor archery skills. This was a fact that Li Xu could not deny. After Uncle Jiu left, he tried to quickly improve his archery skills with the help of the formulas taught by Uncle Jiu. After getting on horseback, he realized that the formulas sounded simple.
, but it is extremely difficult to do.
Shooting an arrow while riding a horse is no better than bending a bow while standing on the ground. The first thing you have to do is to sit firmly on the horse. Pulling the reins with your hands, holding the stirrups between your legs and galloping, Li Xu could do it when he was in the Central Plains.
.But both hands lost contact with the mount at the same time. He had never tried to communicate with the horse by relying only on his knees and heels. So every time he drew the bow, the mount stopped listening to the command. It either ran to the opposite side of the target or threw Li Xu.
He got off the horse. In short, against a fixed target, he could hardly miss an arrow out of hundreds of shots. Not to mention shooting casually like Uncle Jiu, every shot was sure to hit. Even the bow and arrow often disappeared after leaving the string.
, even if you want to recycle it, you can’t find any trace of it.
Fortunately, he had sufficient reserves of feather arrows, and they were all made for riding and shooting. For the sake of him getting up early every day to boost morale, Elder Boge, who controlled the baggage, passed down a message and asked Li to learn archery, hoping to use it.
There are as many arrows as there are arrows. So even if Li Xu went out with a hundred arrows in the morning and only returned fifty in the evening, no one would care about him.
"It doesn't matter. As long as you go with Gan Luo, the prey we bring back will definitely be the most among each team!" Aslan said with great trust. This is the tenth day that Li Xu has stayed in the tribe, plus his previous actions
Those five days as a businessman lasted half a month. Twelve days ago, after accompanying Li Xu to the banquet for the elders, Aslan hugged his wife. But this month, his wife did not see red, which shows that
A little life has taken root and sprouted in my wife's belly.
Aslan didn't dare to guess whether the luck bestowed by the Immortal God was related to the fact that he spoke for Gan Luo that day. But he believed that as long as he stayed with Gan Luo, good luck would continue to fall into his felt bag.
"Before setting off, I will try my best to improve my archery skills! At least I will recover all the arrows I shot!" Li Xu promised with a smile.
Promises are promises, and the distance between ideals and reality is always too far. The day of Li Xu's first hunting trip soon came. He and A Si Lan, Du Er, Xu Dayan, Gan Luo teamed up, with a tail-like swing.
Unable to get rid of him, Tao Kuo took off his silk and ran around all day, catching two yellow sheep, three foxes, and a whole bag of fat sand grouse. Except for himself, all the men and women in the team
Almost everyone had something to gain. Not only did he gain nothing, he also fell off his horse many times while galloping. One time, his left leg was hung in the stirrup, and he was dragged more than twenty steps away by his horse, almost killing everyone.
I was scared to death on the spot.
"Fu Li, you better not ride on your horse and shoot arrows in the future!" In the evening, Tao Kuo, who wiped Li Xu's wounds with salt water according to the method taught by Aunt Qing, prayed with some distress. Aunt Qing said that Han men
Tao Kuo Tuosi no longer cares about whether his good friend can catch prey because he is proud of being a prolific scholar rather than being more skillful with bows and horses like Xi Ren.
"I once promised to shoot you a eagle?" Li Xu smiled and stretched out his hand, touching Tao Kuo's silky white hair with gold in it. In the Central Plains, he had never seen any woman with such beautiful hair.
Silver thread. This is not the haggard white on the old woman's head, but the luster of life bursting from the hair tips to the roots.
"Go, go, you deserve to be thrown to death!" Tao Kuo's face suddenly turned cold, and he fiercely pressed the clean cloth soaked in salt water on Li Xu's calf, which had numerous scars scratched by the stone from the war horse.
"Ouch!" Li Xu screamed in pain and jumped up, thinking about it, but looking at the angry look on the other side's face, he finally decided to settle the matter.
"Only women and villains are difficult to raise. I can't deceive the words of a sage!" Li Xu, who had suffered a big loss, shook his head and said.
"The saint has been dead for a thousand years!" Tao Kuotosi knew that what Li Xu was saying must not be good words, so he responded with the sharpest words he could think of.
Li Xu shook his head repeatedly, not being as knowledgeable as this barbarian woman. When he went to bed at night, he was tossing and turning due to the pain in his calf, but in front of him, he couldn't help but think of Tao Kuo's appearance when he took off his silk and was angry.
"Why is she so angry?" Li Xu thought strangely. In the blink of an eye, another comment came to his mind, "But she looks pretty good when she is angry..."
No matter how painful the injury on his leg was, Li Xu decided to perfect his shooting skills first. Uncle Jiu said that he could not always let others protect him. At the moment, Xu Dayan and Chief Xier will take care of him in the Ministry of Finance.
When I return to the Central Plains in the future, Big Eye will definitely want to gain fame. I can't just follow him and be a burden. Besides, Uncle Jiu said that there is no secret to archery, it's just a matter of being familiar with it.
He worked hard on mounted archery, and Aslan and Duer also generously taught him some of their insights from when they were learning archery. How to coordinate the body and the mount, how to match the ups and downs of the horse's back when aiming the bow and arrow at the target, etc.
These are principles that need to be understood through practice. Everyone has different understandings and experiences. They cannot be summarized in the formulas in books, nor can they be mastered by rote memorization.
With the guidance of these masters, Li Xu gradually developed a feel for bows, arrows, horses and the wind around him. Every arrow he shot no longer flew aimlessly, but landed in the same direction as the target. Occasionally, he was lucky.
It seems that if he is right, he can pierce the red heart with one arrow. This is his unique skill. If others want to pierce heavy targets, even with his great physical strength, they can't have the big Sui sword in his hand. It was made during the peak period of national power.
of riding bow.
He was a young man with a young heart. When he saw that he could hit a fixed target, he couldn't help but want to go out hunting again to wash away the shame of being thrown off the horse last time. By the way, let the little girl Tao Kuo take off her silk to see.
I didn't just rely on Gan Luo's reputation to eat and drink for free in her tribe. A few young and strong men were gnawing on the dried meat left over from the autumn, and their mouths were dull. As soon as Li Xu mentioned it, they immediately responded.
In order to harvest more prey, Asilan deliberately chose a morning after the snow cleared. There was a layer of snow on the ground, which was equivalent to setting countless natural traps for wild animals. Especially creatures with small hooves such as hares and yellow sheep.
, their feet can't stand on the snow, and their running speed is less than 30% of the usual speed. For mediocre hands like Li Xu who have just mastered shooting fixed targets, the probability of hunting after snow increases greatly.
After everyone asked Chief Xier for instructions, they happily left the camp. Looking around, they could see the hills in the distance and the nearby pastures were all covered with snow, and the whole world seemed to be covered with a thick layer of snow.
It is as neat as white felt. The light gray sky above just forms a huge dome, holding the snow-white felt and the tribes on it upside down underneath.
Precisely because there are some thin clouds above the head, the sunlight reflected from the snow is not so dazzling. The sky and the earth are clean, and human eyesight can see farther on the snow. Little Wolf Ganluo has long been unable to bear it.
, let out a long howl, and rushed out first. Li Xu, Xu Dayan and others followed on horseback, blowing through the snowy field like wind. (To be continued)
