Dihao's civilian life

Hearing the words of the short man asking for water because he was thirsty, Hu Sou led the two into the house and boiled water for them.The two outsiders looked at Husou's house and confirmed that Husou lived alone.Hu Sou was adding firewood to the fire pond, and peeping at the two, he saw that they had put the bamboo baskets on their backs on the ground. Hu Sou noticed that the items inside the bamboo baskets were long strips, and guessed that they might be bows and arrows.

The flames burned brightly, illuminating the room, and also illuminating the faces of the three people beside the firepit. The water in the pottery cauldron boiled quickly.Hu Sou picked up the water and poured it into two bowls. When he passed the bowl, he said to the short man, "It's hot, be careful."

The short man took the bowl, with a gloomy face, holding the bowl with one hand, and looked at the ugly old man. He was hunchbacked, with gray beard and hair, and his movements were slow.

The second bowl was handed to Hui, Hui took it, put it aside, and said, "Old man, we are looking for a young man from outside who is grazing, do you know where he lives?"

"I don't know, I'm the only one here." Hu Sou sat down on the ground, knocking on his slightly bent calf, his joints occasionally suffered from gout, although it didn't attack at this time.

"The people in Gouweitan said that there was a rich young shepherd who lived nearby and came here in spring. I think you are also an old shepherd, why don't you know?" Hui pulled out his dagger, and used the blade to scratch between his nails. The stain on the inside was a mass of blood that condensed after the blood dried up.The old man lived alone, and he raised an old dog, like a slaughtered sheep, why should he pretend to be with him.

"I heard that two new shepherds came to Yanqiu in spring, go and have a look over there." As if nothing had happened, Hu Sou picked up a rotten short fur and shaved it with a stone. .

"I think you have bad eyesight, and the living people who live here can't see it." Hui Hui handed the dagger in front of Husou's eyes to threaten him, Husou froze for a moment, the dagger was already pressed against his neck.Hui Zao made inquiries from the reed beach, the rich young shepherd lived in this area.

"My little old man doesn't have anything, just a can of flour. There is a wolf fur on the wall... take it away, don't...don't hurt me." Let's pray together.

Hui sneered, the blade gently pulled away from Husou's neck, blood dripped on Husou's collar, his body trembled like a sieve, and his face was pale.

"Let's go." Thorn drank the water in the bowl, and didn't respond to Hui's actions. At most, he was bothered to leave a dead body. The battalion happened to be tracking here from Gouwei Beach.

Hui looked at Husou, blood was dripping from Husou's neck, and his collar was stained red. He seemed to be frightened, trembling, opened his mouth a few times, and only heard the sound of gasping.

Putting away the dagger, Hui seemed satisfied with the old man's fear.When people are afraid, they will tell the truth about everything.

The two left without haste. Behind them was Hu Sou, who was lying on the ground bleeding, and a bald old dog.The old dog was kneeling on the ground and whining, but when it saw the two of them leaving with their backs on their backs, it suddenly jumped up and hit the ashes.Hui seemed to have eyes in the back, and was quite agile. He raised his foot and kicked the old dog away.

Although Hu Sou didn't bleed a little, he was conscious. The way the man cut his neck was clever, and he didn't take his life all at once.When the two walked away, Hu Sou moved his body and got up slowly from the ground. He covered his neck with his hands and sat upright.Tan crawls back to find Husou, with a wounded leg and blood in his mouth.Hu Sou touched Tan's head, opened his mouth to say something, choked up a mouthful of blood, and the knife on his neck made him unable to speak.Hu Sou calmed down, he met a terrible person, and he was lucky not to be killed all at once.Hu Sou knew that he had to stop the bleeding, and while he was still conscious, he used wood to get the ash out of the firepit. Regardless of the burning of his hands, he grabbed the ash to paste the wound on his neck and covered it tightly with his hands.

The pain from the scalding of his palm and the pain from his neck being cut made him almost faint from the pain, but he could only hold on, he couldn't pass out yet.

These two villains obviously came to look for Jihao. It doesn't matter what their origins are, they are not kind and very dangerous.Husou, who was weak from blood loss, couldn't take care of much at this time, he had to try to keep himself alive.The incision on the neck was not big, but deep. Just using plant ash to stop the bleeding is not enough, and herbs are needed.Hu Sou was sweating coldly, and stood up staggeringly. He covered his neck with one hand, and held a burning firewood for lighting in the other hand. He walked with difficulty. He had to get herbs outside the house.

Hui and Ci left Husou's house, entered the forest, and asked, "Want to Yanqiu?"

"Find a place to rest first." Hui Leng said, he had an intuition that the person he had been following was nearby, it was amazing, he could sense it, especially after leaving the old man's house, this feeling was particularly vivid.

The thorns seemed to object, but they didn't say anything. They just came from Yanqiu and killed a pig driver near Yanqiu.

"He's in Jiaoshan, near here, I sense it." Hui said to himself, he had approached Si Hao, and almost took Si Hao's life.He always believes that he will be the one who kills the emperor, because he is not an ordinary person, he is a person who transcends life and death.

When Hui Hui was young, he suffered from a strange disease, and his beard and hair were gray. The wizards of the tribe said that he was possessed by evil spirits, and he was not an ordinary person.

Ci didn't take Hui's argument seriously, and he responded negatively. During these days of searching for the emperor, Jinpeng's beautiful promises have become farther and farther away.

In the dense forest, Thorn struck flint to make a fire, and cooked food in a small copper cauldron. He hadn't eaten grain for many days, and he relied on hunting.He was in a good mood, sometimes stirring the food in the copper pot, and sometimes adding firewood to the pot.

Not far away, Hui was leaning against a big tree. He was processing arrow feathers. He cut off the stone arrowhead and replaced it with a copper arrowhead to increase its penetrating power and accuracy.Hui had twelve copper arrowheads when he arrived in Renyi, now only two are left, plus the three he bought from Gouweitan, a total of five is enough.For Hui, one arrow is enough to kill someone.

The luggage carried by the two of them was unloaded aside, and the gray luggage was at his feet.The items in the bamboo basket emerged from the sack, which were bows and arrows and quiver.Under the firelight, the arrow feathers in the quiver are emerald green, and each arrow feather is made of kingfisher feathers.

When Hu Sou woke up, he was lying on the grass, surrounded by darkness, and a few drops of rainwater poured on his face, which made him awake.He got up from the ground weakly, not knowing what happened to him in a trance, how could he be here?However, he quickly remembered that he went outside to collect medicine, he was injured, he felt the pain from his neck, and touched a small pool of blood under his body.While picking herbs, he lost blood and fainted. It is unknown how long he was in a coma.

"Woooo..."

Behind him, the old dog let out a mournful cry, and Hu Sou called it to him.Hu Sou touched Tan's body and head with hands as thin as a bamboo rake, and put his face close to it. He opened his mouth and tried hard to speak, but he still couldn't make a sound. As soon as he exerted force, the blood and feces from the wound were squeezed out. out.

Hu Sou wants Tan to go to Gouwei Beach to call his daughter Ahe. Tan has been to his daughter's house several times, but he knows the way and cannot speak.

"Wow, woof." Tan seems to be able to hear the master's silent words. It is an old dog with human nature. It leaves Husou, walks a few steps, and turns back to look at Husou.Hu Sou tried his best to drive it away with his arms.

Tan's figure quickly disappeared into the night. As for whether it can really call Ah He, Hu Sou is not sure. No matter how smart Tan is, does he really know how to ask for help?No matter how clever it is, it cannot be spoken.

The rain was pattering, Husou crawled on the ground, he wanted to crawl back to the house.In the dark, he couldn't pick herbs. Fortunately, he just passed out during the picking process, and there was a handful of herbs beside him.

Hu Sou struggled to distinguish the direction and groped on the ground. After all, this was the door of his house, and he was too familiar with the place where he had lived for decades.He crawled for a while, touched the half-closed door of the wooden house, and pushed the door open. The fire in the firepit was still burning, although the light was weak.That weak fire is like Husou's weak life at this time. His life will either end in this night or continue in this night.

Husou, who lived a long time, was in a calm mood. He crawled into the house, lay against the wall, chewed herbs, and applied wounds to himself.He was already exhausted, and he wrapped the cloth around his neck. Every time he wound it, it seemed like a long time had passed. Before he could tie a knot, he collapsed on the ground without making a sound.

If he was young, Husou was wounded, and he might have rushed to Luoyuqiu to report the news with his life, but he was old and had to obey the old, he lost consciousness again and was powerless.

In the early hours of the morning, Husou's daughter rushed over. She called her husband and brought charcoal to her father's house.As soon as she came, she realized that something was wrong. The door of the room was opened wide, and her father fell to the ground.

When Tan appeared at Ahe's house, she was quite happy, thinking that the dog came with her father, although it was very late at night, so it was unlikely.After confirming that her father hadn't come, Ahe served some leftovers for Tan to eat. Seeing Tan wolfing down, she thought, how could a dog come here by itself, but asked the dog, the dog can't talk, and it's late, how about Tomorrow morning, I will go to my father's side to have a look.

After Charcoal was full, he kept barking at Ah He. Ah He was so annoyed by the barking that he thought about feeding it, but then he became angry with his master and gave him a scolding.Tan made anxious noises, and walked around the door from time to time. Seeing that Ah He was still indifferent, it opened its mouth to bite Ah He Xiashang, as if to drag her out.

"Is there something wrong with your father?" Ah He's husband felt strange.

"Not to mention, I've never seen it like this before." Ah He also felt a little flustered.

So the couple took charcoal and held torches, and rushed to the place where Husou lived overnight. When they arrived at his house, they found that something had happened.

Seeing that her father didn't respond, Ah He hugged her father and wept bitterly. It was her husband who calmed down and sniffed him, saying he was still alive.The husband and wife quickly lifted Husou, put him on the sleeping place, and raised fire to check his condition.

Seeing that his neck was cut and bandaged, Ah He guessed that his father applied the medicine himself, but how did he cut his neck?Shouldn't it be hunting and letting animals get hurt?How could she have imagined that two vicious gangsters came to Jiaoshan.

Ah He's husband carried Hu Sou on his back, Ah He held a torch and brought charcoal, and they took Hu Sou back to take care of them. There were two and a half-year-old children at home, and it was okay to leave the injured old man here. Not a solution.

On the way, Hu Sou was awakened by a jolt. He beat his son-in-law's back anxiously and opened his mouth to speak, but there was no sound. The wound on his neck made him lose his ability to speak.Maybe after the injury healed, he could talk again, and that would take several days.

Seeing him like this, his daughter and son-in-law thought he was suffering from pain, but how could he know what was going on in his heart.

As far as Hu Sou is concerned, he has done everything he can to help the offspring of this feud, and he can only rely on himself for the rest.

After dawn, Thorn woke up from the ground and saw that the bonfire was extinguished, and his companions were already packing their bags.He also got up, stretched his muscles and bones, looked at the bright sunlight piercing through the forest and said, "I'm afraid the body has been found."

The swineherd who was killed yesterday afternoon was lying in the forest. That place is not a secret place. The body will be found sooner or later. Moreover, there is a camp in that area with soldiers stationed there.

"You search around, I'll be back in the afternoon." Hui put his bag on his back, and glanced at his companion, he planned to act separately, the two of them together were too conspicuous.

Thorn sits leisurely by the bonfire, stirring the ashes, looking for sparks, as long as there are sparks, add grass wadding, blow on it and it will burn.Any fish caught in the stream can be cooked and eaten.

Hui Leng Leng looked back at his companion's lazy appearance, quite contemptuously, he also had the idea of ​​killing his companion, but this person is a brother of the clan, not to mention needing a person's assistance now.

After Hui left, he held his bow and arrow and searched around, looking for birds and birds to shoot.Hunting is the easiest thing for him. Although he is foolish, he is an archer of Jin and Yi with a hundred shots.Hunted a pheasant in the forest, picked it up, and felt that the surroundings were somewhat familiar, and he quickly recognized that this was the way he came from, the place he walked through last night, the old man's house, was just ahead.

Standing on the high ground and looking around for a long time, I did not find the figure of the old man, nor did I find any other figures haunting the wooden house. It seems that the old man may have returned to the west, and he lives so remote that he will not be found for a while.Thorn went back to the garrison in peace of mind, lit a fire to roast pheasants, he used fire during the day, unscrupulous, not afraid of being found by people coming to visit the smoke.This area is too desolate, and there are many forests, quite hidden.

In the afternoon, Hui came back, with a sullen face, and kicked out the fire in the fire pit as soon as he came back.Seeing his behavior, he knew that something was wrong, and asked, "Has the dead body been found?"

Hui sat on the ground, put the quiver and bow by his lap, and asked, "How's the search around?"

"No one, the forest is still the forest." The forest behind Tingzhi pointed to a safe surrounding, with many wild birds and abundant water sources.

The stab asked, "How did you find out?"

"There are patrolling soldiers all over Yanqiu now, but he's not there."

"How do you know he's not in Yanqiu?"

"It doesn't feel that strong over there."

Just like chasing prey, in the vast forest, one can always sense where it is hiding, Hui has this intuition, he can sense it.He is one of the few archers of the Jinyi tribe who have received bows and arrows from Jin friends. He has an extraordinary talent for "hunting".

Stabbing looked at the extinguished bonfire, and lightly scoffed at Hui's "feeling", but he didn't say anything, he didn't dare to provoke Hui, knowing that this person was so anxious that he would kill his own people.

"I have to go right away." Shi started to pack his bags.The soldiers were searching along the hill, so it was hard to say that they would not search here, and if they didn't leave, it would be a matter of time before they were discovered.

"Let's go? In two days, wait for the soldiers to withdraw."

Hui sat on the ground, he would not venture out of the woods now, he never thought killing a pigherd would cause such a big trouble.This made Hui a little uneasy, since he escaped from Renyi, he no longer felt this way, this feeling of being hunted down.

The two killers hid in the forest for two days under the battalion's extensive search.Two days later, seeing no more movement around, he moved towards Renshui's bank.They kept an eye on their surroundings as they walked, trying to keep themselves out of the woods so as not to be noticed.

Unknowingly, they approached Luoyu Hill, and Thorn and Ash reported, "There is a hill, and there is a sheepfold."

"Go and check again." Hui Hui carried the bow and arrow on his back, and twisted the arrow in his hand, he walked around in the woods, never letting go of his vigilance.

It was an afternoon, three days since the Jianggou swineherd was killed, Hui stood in the forest, looking at Falling Feather Hill, he could clearly see a small house on the hill, and on the second-floor slope of the hill, there was a sheepfold .Ash watched from the front, and Thorn followed the stream, approaching Falling Feather Hill from the rear.He saw the sheep on the pasture, but he didn't see anyone. He also found a dog, a puppy, among the sheep.The dog was very vigilant and almost found the thorn, but the thorn didn't dare to get closer.

Just when Thorn was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of a young man leaving by the stream, and he immediately hid to peep.

Although it was just a glance, he recognized the young man's appearance of sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was dressed in rags, just like an ordinary shepherd boy.The age is similar, but to say that he is the emperor's son, I don't think it looks like it. This is an impossible task, and I don't think they can find him.

The two gathered together again in the forest, and Shi told what he had found, and Hui smiled darkly after hearing this, "I just said he's here." Seeing his companion's expression, he was suspicious, and Hui said, "On the hillside , no one else, I have observed."

He is just a teenager, living here, no brothers, sisters, parents.Horn Mountain is an excellent sanctuary, it is convenient to travel to other countries, and there are Ren Fang's camps stationed here.Hui has a strong intuition, nine out of ten it is him.However, Hui still planned to go and see for himself. In order to be sure, he would not take action lightly in this situation of being hunted down.

Both Hui and Ci had seen Si Hao's appearance in Ren Yi, although it was only one side, Ci probably forgot his appearance, Hui remembered very clearly, this is a very handsome young man, strong, calm, easy to recognize.Just take a look for yourself to know if it is.

The author has something to say: Director: Mr. Hao was unlucky and was discovered.who made him handsome.
