so

In July of the 31st year of Kangxi, Yinhu went to Beyond the Great Wall with Kangxi for the third time.This time, except for the prince, all the princes among the ten princes came.This was the first time that Yinyu and Yinxuan and I came out with Kangxi. The two little guys were riding on the horses, running back and forth excitedly all the way.Afraid that they would be tired, Yinhu asked the two children several times if they wanted to sit in the car for a while, but both of them firmly opposed it.That’s right, it’s hard to walk from the palace wall to this vast world, the sky is blue, the grass is green, all the way to the wilderness of the sky, who would like to sit in that small carriage and miss the great scenery outside the pass? ?

Yinhu held the reins and quietly followed the team.Most of the princes left the team to hunt. Naturally, at this time of year, they had to hunt more prey in order to show their heroism.Yinhu is not a teenager at heart, although he has practiced hard for many years, bow horse riding and shooting are all excellent among the princes, but he does not want to show off at this time.Therefore, Yinhu mostly just followed the team, and only went out to hunt two hares before sunset to make up the number.Yinzhen also doesn't like hunting, and always follows the team for the reason of being with Yinhu, but Yinhu knows why - although Yinzhen is very accurate in foot shooting, but his riding and shooting skills are limited, not to mention competing with the prince and elder brother , even if he is the third and fifth child, he is not as good as him.This time when he came out, Yinzhen saw that Yinhu often stayed in the team, so he didn't go out often, and often rode over to chat with Yinhu after a while, which made Yinhu feel a little annoyed.

It was getting late that day, and all the princes who went out to hunt came back, only Yinzhen was left outside.After the meal time, elder brother Jiu still didn't come back, Yinhu was anxious, so he called me over to ask Yinxuan.

"Xiao Shi, you and Xiao Jiu didn't go out together. Where did you separate them? How many guards did he bring with him? Haha, did the beads follow closely?" Yinhu was anxious, like a cannonball, one question after another .

"Brother, you have asked me several times. Brother Ninth is definitely fine. Yesterday he was not as good as me. Today he is holding back his energy. He ran a little farther and won't let me follow," Yin Rong said, pointing Looking at his pile of trophies, "I think he can't beat me no matter how far he runs today. He still uses short arrows and can't draw a hard bow. How can he compare with me?" With a proud smile, he stretched out his arms and hugged Yinhu's neck, blinking his eyes: "Good starling, if ninth brother can't hunt as much as I do today, you have to give me a reward!"

Yinhu was still worried about Yinhu, but looking at Xiao Shi who was hanging on his body at this time, he couldn't say anything more, so he could only say: "Okay, whatever Xiao Shi wants, I'll get you anything my starling can get. Come on, where is Arsun? You don't want to answer the mynah's question carefully, so the mynah asks him, isn't it all right?"

Arson'a is the son of Lord Guoyi's Ling'a, and he is Yinrong's cousin. He has just entered the palace as a third-class bodyguard, and Kangxi sent him to Yinrong because of his relationship with Yinrong. around.When Yinrong heard that myna still wanted to ask, I said: "Myna, I know. You don't need to call others. In fact, myna, what are you worried about? Ninth brother brought enough bows and arrows today, oh, yes I even brought the muskets that Khan Ama rewarded in 27 years, saying that I must hunt a big one.”

"Fire guns? You said, Xiao Jiu also brought a fire gun?" Yinhu immediately remembered something in his mind: the first time Xiao Jiu came out in the previous life, he was in danger near here, and he didn't return late at night. Fortunately, the adult black bear was wearing a musket for self-defense at that time, and the bear was killed with guns and arrows.After that, Yinhu was very proud every time he mentioned it, but Yinhu just felt terrified.In this life, Yinzhen won't run into that bear again, right?Yinhu didn't dare to keep a fluke mentality, and when he heard what I said, Yinhu immediately became anxious.

"Xiao Shi, stay in the camp and don't go out. I'm worried about Yinzhen, so I want to go out and look for it." After Yinhu explained, he patted Yinxuan on my shoulder, turned around and went to look for Longkodo.

Long Kedo was not on duty today, and when Yinhu found him, he had just returned to camp not long ago, and it seemed that he had gained a lot.On weekdays, Yinhu would definitely say a few more polite words, but at this time Yinhu could not wait to put on his wings and fly to Yinhu's side immediately.Straightforwardly, he just said: "Brother Jiu hasn't come back yet, can Guard Tong send someone to help find him?"

When Longkodo heard that Yinhu hadn't come back, he looked at the sky and felt that it was a bit late. While comforting Yinhu, he promised that if he didn't come back later, he would find a few people to look for it together.At this time, Yinzhen's haha ​​beads came back and reported that they had lost brother Jiu. Some staffing.

After hearing this, Yinhu had one thought in his mind: I have to find Xiaojiu quickly, and it will be over when it gets dark.At the moment, he didn't care about anything else, he took his own horse when he arrived at the stable, packed the whole suit, brought some more arrows, and got on the horse.Only he knew that Xiao Jiu might face an adult black bear alone, and looked back at the crowd who were calmly ordering. Yinhu felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he slapped the horse's hip with a whip, One out of the camp.Yinhu only hated himself for not thinking about it so long ago. If he remembered it long ago, he should go back to Xiaojiu and follow him when he went hunting.

Yinzhen has also been concerned about Yinzhen's affairs. Seeing that Yinhu went to look for Longkodo, he asked someone to prepare for it, and planned to go out with him to look for it later.Seeing Yinhu running away alone from a distance, he just took a horse and chased him out. He scolded Yinhu in his heart for being so ignorant. He just lost one, and he ran away without taking anyone with him. It's dark, do you still want him to be thrown outside?

Yinzhen didn't come out by himself, he was followed by Longkodo with a team of guards, and Yinhu's figure could not be seen clearly from a distance, so Yinzhen asked Longkodo to follow him, and went to Yinhu chased after him in the direction of Yinhu——Compared with Yinzhen, who went hunting every day and had nothing serious to do, Yinzhen was more worried about Yinhu, who usually just followed the team, but now suddenly ran away alone without a trace.

Yinzhen chased after him with his horse all the way, but he never saw Yinhu's figure again. Feeling anxious, he hit the horse even harder.After chasing after a stick of incense, I saw Yinhu's sapphire blue shirt from a distance.

"Eighth brother! Eighth brother! Wait, don't run too far!" The horse that Yinzhen got off (harmony) was not his, and it was not very smooth to ride.Yinhu's horse was given by Yinrong. It is absolutely a good horse for thousands of miles, much better than Yinzhen's casual riding.At this time Yinzhen was able to catch up, it was entirely because he hit the horse too hard, he could be fast for a while, no matter how fast he was, he would lose his strength.

Yinhu heard Yinzhen's voice from afar, and didn't bother to pay attention to him, pretending that he didn't hear him, and continued to ride the horse to the forest two or three miles ahead, which was the place Yinhu remembered that Xiao Jiu shot and killed the black bear.

The sky gradually darkened, and the red sun on the grassland doubled on the horizon, exuding the bloody smell of Xiao Sha.This place is a hunting ground during the day, and it is not an exaggeration to write in "Drinking Water Ci" that "thousands of people rejoice in wind and rain and blood".The night was about to fall, and there was a faint blood in the air. The wind blew through the reed leaves that were as tall as a person by the side of the paozi, making a rustling sound, curling some feathers and animal hairs from time to time, and gently brushed the young prince's cheek.

Yinhu was even more anxious.

※※※※※※※※※

Seeing Yinhu in front of him getting farther and farther away, as if he couldn't hear him no matter how he shouted, Yinzhen chased after him fiercely, completely ignoring the hapless mount.Although this horse is not a rough horse, it can't bear such a push. Suddenly, it became ruthless, tilted its head, and rushed straight out of the natural horse path stepped on by everyone hunting, pulling Yinzhen into the tall reeds middle.The guards following Yinzhen didn't know how far he was thrown by Yinzhen, they couldn't see Yinzhen's figure from a distance, and instead ran off to another fork in the road.

Yinzhen held on to the rein tightly, but he still couldn't pull back the mad horse.Yinzhen had never encountered a frightened horse, but he immediately thought of calming down and not panicking.Yinhu was too far away, and the guards behind couldn't keep up.He immediately put the rein around his wrists twice, stretched out his hands and hugged the horse's neck tightly, and lay his whole body on the horse's back, trying his best to avoid being thrown off the horse.The horse was still going crazy, but it was still running in the direction of Yinhu, walking in a straight line, as if it was getting closer to Yinhu.

Yinzhen didn't dare to raise his head to look into the distance, and leaned firmly on the horse's back.The horse was running wildly, but after a while, the speed slowed down a little, and then suddenly its feet went limp, as if it had been caught by something, and it stopped immediately, half of Yinzhen's body was out of the saddle, and he hugged the horse's neck tightly , was not dropped.

However, Yinzhen did not have time to rejoice.

The horse ran into a muddy puddle on the edge of a big paozi. At this time, all its front hooves were sunk in the mud, and half of its back kick was lost.The most terrible thing is that the horse is still struggling desperately, as if it would rather sink itself than shake Yinzhen off.When Yinzhen looked at the muddy swamp, he felt as if the devil on the grassland had opened his mouth wide to swallow each of them alive.Seeing the horse struggling harder and harder, Yinzhen knew that if he didn't give up on the horse, he might also fall into it, but when he got off the horse, where would he end up?

For a while, Yinzhen couldn't think of any idea to save himself, so he immediately pulled out the dagger hidden in his boot, and cut the horse's throat with one knife.

The horse neighed long and fell to its knees. Because it was entangled in the mud, it didn't fall to the side.Yinzhen took off the saddle and bridle, and threw them to the driest open space.After the horse died, the sinking speed of the body slowed down significantly. Yin Zhen calmed down a bit, then looked at the saddle thrown over, and felt that it could not be used as a footstep.Visually measuring the distance to the shore, there are about seventy or eighty steps. If you really want to leave the horse and walk over, I'm afraid it will sink faster.Looking at the way the horse came rushing forward, it was also muddy all the way, Yinzhen had no choice but to yell a few times in the direction where he saw the royal blue shirt last: "Yinhu! Yinhu!"
