"This is very simple. Can't we just transport some coal to the Xianbei people?" Chen Cheng said: "They can't even have a place to make a fire, right?"
He casually added a piece of firewood to the stove, looked at the rising smoke, and said thoughtfully: "I would also like to remind the people that if you smell a strange smell, you should open the door for a while to avoid carbon monoxide.
poisoned."
"What's poisoning?"
"Carbon monoxide is...well, poisonous smoke sometimes comes out when burning coal. If you feel something is wrong, open the door quickly to let some air out."
"..." Tian Yu was a bit dumbfounded, "The purpose of lighting a fire is to keep warm. If we open the door to ventilate, it would be better not to light a fire."
"That's true, but death from cold or poison is a question. As long as you are careful every day, there shouldn't be a big problem." Chen Cheng said: "No big deal, let's add some clay to the coal and clean it.
, and then sell it to them at a high price.”
"?"
Chen Cheng wiped the cold sweat from his head, laughed, and said: "Nothing, nothing, by the way, you said the county lieutenant is a little unconvinced about this matter?"
He was just complaining casually, but suddenly felt a deep chill and quickly changed the topic.
"Oh, yes," Tian Yu said: "Although it is said that a saint thinks deeply about the world, and there is nothing more valuable than life, but what he said makes sense."
Tian Yu said distressedly: "What do you think we should do about this matter? We have a lot of coal reserves. It doesn't matter if we give them a little. But a large part of the food is borrowed. I don't even have enough to eat. I won't pay for it in the future."
I have to pay it back."
Chen Cheng chuckled and said: "Aren't there many young people among the Xianbei people? Let them go hunting in the mountains with me. Anyway, I want to take them to the mountains for training."
While he was talking, he touched the head of the animal lying next to him. Tian Yu looked at the tiger that had become stronger again, hesitated for a while, and said: "It's too dangerous to go into the mountains in winter, and you can't catch anything.
Prey, it’s better not to go there.”
"They eat too much," Chen Cheng rubbed the tiger's head and said, "The purpose of raising such beasts is to keep them full."
Tian Yu said thoughtfully: "What if their appetite gets bigger and bigger?"
Chen Cheng glanced at him and said: "You're talking about another kind of beast, well, it's like a hawk or a dog. You can't let them starve. If they are very hungry, they will bite their owners in turn. But you can't
Let them eat too much, and they will lose control if they eat too much. The best thing is to let them eat until they are 60 to 70 percent full."
Tian Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then do as you say!"
"You mean to let those Xianbei people go hunting with me?"
"Of course, did we talk about other things?"
Kebi Neng sent the children and elders of the tribe into the city, and then took ten people to hunt with Chen Cheng. What he brought out were the elites of the tribe, all of them were covered with thick furs, even in the ice and snow.
They are also physically strong. In terms of cold resistance, they are indeed better than the common Han people.
But when it comes to weapons and organization, Wei Ran and the others are much stronger.
When he saw the three and a half big tigers following behind Chen Cheng, Ke Bineng's eyes widened and he thought to himself, "Could this man really be General Shenwei?"
But upon closer inspection, although Chen Cheng was taller than himself, he wouldn't believe it if he said he could charge into the midst of thousands of troops and kill generals and flags.
Seeing three energetic tigers, not only Kirby, but all the Xianbei people were a little scared. Even if they are not fully grown, with a body as big as a sheep, if the tiger goes crazy, it will kill several people.
Not every minute?
In fact, Wei Ran and the others were also thinking about it, but in order to overpower the Xianbei people, they all pretended not to care. Chen Cheng scratched the tiger's chin, and the tiger narrowed its eyes and purred.
The sound of "purring" seems very pleasant.
The other two tigers moved slowly on the snow and roared lowly at the surrounding crowds.
After teasing the big cat for a while, Chen Cheng stood up, walked to Gulu who was a little far away, got on his horse and said: "Drive!"
After snowing for several days in a row, the snow on the ground can already submerge a person's calves. Although Gulu is a good horse, it cannot run at the highest speed on the snow. The same is true for other horses. We can only wait for the weather to improve.
It gets colder, and the war horses can run again only after the ground freezes solidly. But by that time, few people are willing to come out and ride horses.
Even the Hu people who like to take advantage of the autumn season to go south to plunder are first of all people. If you don't say "Diyi beasts", they are really beasts. They also like warm places, as long as they are not like Jiaozhou.
Just plant mosquitoes all over the place and miasma is everywhere.
If there is no other choice, who would want to stay on the grassland and become a Di Yi?
Twenty-one men, twenty-one horses, plus three tigers, this is the composition of this small army. Because the nearby mountains have been cleared long ago, they went very far this time.
We were on the road for just one day. On the first day on the road, he saw two silly roe deer jumping side by side on the snow. Chen Cheng was amused at the time.
As soon as he whistled, the three tigers rushed out of the team. In the snowflakes, the tigers came over fiercely. The two roe deer were frightened and jumped faster and faster. But I don't know why they jumped too fast.
For whatever reason, they plunged their heads into the snow one after another, leaving only their two hind legs exposed.
As you can imagine, the two roe deer became the tiger's meal. Seeing the scene of the tigers devouring the prey and the blood stains on the corners of their mouths, other people in the team looked at me.
Looking at you, I feel a little numb.
If they took a stand and fought against each other, they wouldn't be so afraid. It's just three and a half big tigers, who is afraid of whom? Whether they are Xianbei people or Han people, there are many heroes who can fight fierce beasts. But you have to walk with the tigers.
Sleeping together at night definitely requires a big heart.
Seeing the way other people were carefully keeping a distance from the tiger, Chen Cheng was thoughtful. As the saying goes, "Being with a king is like being with a tiger." He didn't know about being with a king, but now he knew what it was like to be with a tiger.
We caught some pheasants, rabbits, roe deer and other animals on the way, and the group of people successfully arrived at the place where they were going to spend the night. It was a depression in the valley, surrounded by cliffs, and the cold wind could not reach it. It was everywhere outside.
When it's covered in silver, there's still some green grass here.
The horses pushed aside the snowflakes and gnawed grass seeds and roots on their own. Chen Cheng and the others used the tools they carried to cut down a few dead trees, then started preparing for today's dinner. While preparing the food, some people were setting up tents.
.Even if the temperature here is higher than outside, if you freeze in the cold wind all night, you will probably become hard when you wake up the next morning.
While people are busy, a few tigers are wandering around in the snow. Their bodies are covered with a thick layer of fur, and the low temperature that is fatal to people is nothing to them. They have never been seen in the wild.
The tigers who had played in the snow seemed very excited. They kept running and jumping on the snow. After dinner was ready and Chen Cheng whistled, they caught a fox from somewhere.
The captured fox was not dead yet. It was held in the mouth of the largest tiger, and its eyes would occasionally move. Chen Cheng snatched the fox from the tiger's mouth and asked, "Will you repay the favor?"
After waiting for a while and not getting an answer, Chen Cheng decisively broke the fox's neck and added another kind of food for the night. Although the fox meat was very spicy and delicious, the Xianbei people like Kirby and others didn't care at all. They
They have an astonishing appetite. When they eat, they feel like they are reincarnated by starving to death, and they feel like they will never have to eat again after eating this meal. Even if their bellies are full, they are still stuffing them into their mouths.
food.
On the other hand, although Wei Ran and the others ate a lot, they were still not as good as the Xianbei people who were traveling with them. Moreover, as they stayed in the snow for longer and longer, the gap between the two sides became more and more obvious. Chen Cheng's men
People may be good at fighting and farming, but their ability to survive in the wild, especially in such ice and snow, is far inferior to that of the Xianbei people.
This was the effect after they added BUFF. If compared fairly, their performance would be even worse. After seeing the skills of these barbarians, Chen Cheng completely gave up on the idea of causing trouble. Why take advantage of the heavy snow to sneak attack on the rebels?
, that must be a good idea that will go bad.
At night, people and horses crowded into the tent, leaning against each other to keep warm. Because Gulu was unwilling to stay with the tigers, Chen Cheng also built an extra tent. He let Gulu squeeze in between Wei Ran and the others.
Inside the tent, he slept with the tigers.
The place where they spent the night was in a valley. The entrance was very narrow, and the wind speed here became very fast, making terrifying whistling sounds from time to time. The flames outside gradually extinguished, and the world fell into darkness. It was in this environment
, Chen Cheng hugged a tiger and slowly fell into sleep.
The next morning, Chen Cheng was woken up by a tiger. The tent was filled with a stinky smell. It would make people feel nauseous after the first meeting, but after staying there for a long time, they got used to it and turned a blind eye.
If he were an ordinary person, he might stay in bed because it was warmer inside the tent, but he was not, so he became afraid after waking up, opened the tent and walked out.
The temperature outside was six to seven degrees lower than inside the tent. After walking out, the cold wind blew on the face, which refreshed people's spirits. The tent behind him was squeezed open, and the big furry head poked out, followed by
With his body, the three tigers jumped into the open space, circled around Chen Cheng for a few times, and then roared violently.
"Roar!"
Different from the immature ones in the past, this time's roar was already full of murderous intent. The tiger's roar shook back and forth in the valley, waking everyone up. Some horses were even frightened and neighed from the ground.
He jumped up and then ran outside.
Xianbei and Wei Ran worked hard for a while before calming down their mounts. Even so, several tents were still damaged. Kebineng looked at the three beasts surrounding Chen Cheng and refreshed his knowledge again:
Perhaps, this man really has the courage that no man can match. Otherwise, how could he subdue such a terrifying animal?
