Wolf boy

The scholar was taken aback when he heard the words. Nowadays people value literature over martial arts, let alone scholars nowadays, even those who kill pigs and sell meat are afraid of saying a few words, pretending to be a little bit arty.

Although he himself didn't win the exam, he was really used to speaking like this.Now seeing the lingling eyes of this little benefactor, I suddenly feel that the past is boring.

"Well, since it was Engong's order, then Xiaosheng, ah no, then I'm offended. But the first time I met Engong, I left too hastily, and I haven't exchanged names yet. My surname is Liu, my name is Hongfei, and my name is Zhenyu. .”

Seeing that this person finally spoke human words, Ah Tong nodded, quite satisfied, "Oh, so your name is Xiaoniao!"

He only heard that this person's name was "fly" and "feather", and he felt that he couldn't make a mistake!Those who can speak bird language are just birds.

Before Liu Hongfei could correct him, Ah Tong reached out and patted the scholar's not-so-strong shoulder.

"I'm not Engong, I'm Ashina Yule..." Before he could finish the real name given by the old saying, the young man saw the man in front of him start to wobble in confusion halfway through hearing it, and then stopped talking.

There are very few people who can hear the true words of heaven and earth.

The scholar waited for Ah Tong to stop talking before slowing down, shaking his head, and asked, "Benefactor? What did you just say?"

Ah Tong was silent for a while, then shook his head, "Call me Ah Tong."

"Hey, it's impossible, how can you call your benefactor by his name directly! Thanks to benefactor's great kindness, my old mother was able to save her life with money. God has mercy on me, and I was ordered to join the army with benefactor. If you have anything to do, just tell me, Xiaosheng is like a cow and a horse..."

"Tsk!" Ah Tong didn't know what this man was talking about, it was just a title, why did he say a lot of things!

Simply let him go, just remembering the snacks in the bag, he took out and distributed them to the nagging scholar, hoping to shut up this mouth that was looser than the waist of cotton trousers.

Finally, when Ah Tong was about to finish the snacks given by the old lady of Xu's family, General Dian wiped the sweat from his brow, and closed the roster that had all been ticked off.

This time, the heads were drawn exactly according to the recruiting brochure. The officer was relieved, and now he just waited to bring these recruits to Zhaocheng and be taken away by the camps. , but it would be great to ask for nothing.

Ah Tong was still sitting on the ground when he saw that everyone around them packed their bags and walked towards the official road outside the city.The scholar also waved at Ah Tong, "Grandfather, get up quickly, we have to hurry."

"Where?"

"Go to the three passes of Zisai, the land of yellow dust!" The scholar was full of pride, and he felt like scolding Fang Qiu. Just as he felt his writing and thoughts springing up, he turned his head and saw Ah Tong behind him, looking at him with a pair of dead fish eyes. he.

"Hey, that, go to Zhaocheng."

"..."

Everyone packed their bags, lined up and left the city in an orderly manner under the yelling of some escorting officers and soldiers.

Passing by the hill, Ah Tong raised his head and looked halfway up the mountain. The two elders of the Xu family were standing on the slope to bid him farewell. Ah Tong waved his hands, bared his teeth and smiled at them, revealing two sweet dimples at the corners of his mouth.

All living beings, gathering and parting is fate.

It is said that the group of soldiers who entered the army were dressed in different clothes, and there were quite a few of them. They walked on the winding mountain road, which was quite majestic.

The scholar followed Ah Tong all the way, from astronomy to geography, from the Literati Poetry Club in Dingping Prefecture to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in Shangjing.Needless to say, if this person gets rid of the sour mouth, he is really a good storyteller!

Ah Tong laughed and listened, and from time to time his eyes widened and he sighed, huh!It was really lively, but when he heard the scholars visiting the kiln, the young man shook his head.

"How can you just sleep with someone else? How can this be done! Don't they have a partner?"

The scholar laughed, looking at his little benefactor who was so handsome and untouched by the world, he felt that he shouldn't have said these things to him, "This year, benefactor, you are Geng Geng!"

"What is it expensive?"

"Oh, how old is this year?"

Liu Hongfei looked at the name tag hanging around Ah Tong's neck, and wrote a letter, Xu Xiangming, Dingping Mansion, Gengxu year.Counting it, he is 23 or [-] years old, but the boy in front of him doesn't look like him.

Liu Hongfei didn't say any extra words, but just put his hand into Ah Tong's skirt to hide the name tag from others.

"I'm eighteen! Ana said that since he was born, the jujube trees on the mountain have been ripened eighteen times."

"Engong, if others ask, you can say that you are 23."

Ah Tong tilted his head, "Is this also a rule?"

The scholar nodded, saying that this is the rule.The two of them were chatting away, when the soldiers leading the way stopped, chose a shady and flat road, and asked everyone to rest and bring some water.

The battalion has not yet been officially divided. According to the routine, on the way to the border, the soldiers prepare dry food by themselves. Most people around take out dry food pancakes and eat them, but Ah Tong is not very happy. He has not eaten meat for several meals!

Liu Hongfei was rummaging through his bag to find pancakes, thinking of taking out his little benefactor's share, but unexpectedly, as soon as he lowered his head, there was no one in front of him!

"!!!"

But before he could look around, his benefactor sneaked back from the hillside, holding a big and fat wild rabbit in his hand, and while the guards were not paying attention, he rushed back to him in a few steps.

This sneaky kung fu is so neat!

Before the scholar could speak, Ah Tong operated with one hand, and with a swipe of his hand on the dead rabbit, he peeled it completely and tidied it up.He wanted to eat it straight away, but considering that the "little bird" in front of him probably wouldn't eat raw meat, he took out the flint and started a fire.

The whole process of setting fire to the branches was very skillful and quick, and at the moment when the scholar was dumbfounded, the rabbit meat was already on fire and began to roast.

Originally, no one paid attention to Ah Tong and the others, because the two of them looked thin and weak, and they were very strong in the army, so there were few people who even struck up a conversation.At this time, the smell of barbecue wafted out, and many people nearby came to look at it, and were amazed at Ah Tong's ability.

In the deep mountains and old forests, their strong men dare not leave the team to catch wild food without authorization, but this handsome young man has a hand!

The scholar hurriedly bowed in all directions, "I was born as a hunter, I am used to this job, everyone laughs at me."

Ah Tong also imitated the manner of a scholar, bowing his hands to others in a frizzy manner. When everyone saw Ah Tong's cute appearance, they all laughed, or threw some naan and pancakes over to form a friendship with them. Accept it, and return a few pieces of rabbit meat.

After a while, the team was about to set off, but Ah Tong turned his head to look at a tree shade on the left.I saw a lonely person sitting under the crooked neck tree, his physique was about the same as his own, very thin, but he looked very alert, he didn't talk to others or eat from the beginning to the end.

Seeing this, the scholar shook his head, "I'm afraid my family is poor, and I don't have enough dry food. It's a long journey, so I need to save food." So I felt even more grateful to Ah Tong. His old lady was also determined not to be saved.

Therefore, even though Ah Tong had many flaws, the scholar pretended not to investigate, and even helped to cover them up.

After hearing this, Ah Tong stood facing the man under the tree for a while, feeling a little indescribable in his heart.Could it be that there are still people who can't eat enough under the mountains and rivers and the continuous peaks?

So Liu Hongfei saw his little benefactor, holding a piece of rabbit spine that was reserved for leisure on the road, jumped up the crooked neck tree, and then lay on the trunk, with only one hand outstretched, holding the roasted meat. The scorched rabbit ridge hangs down from the dense branches.

"give you to eat!"

As expected, the scholar heard the scream of the frightened man...

So along the way, Ah Tong had a little tail again, but the man didn't like to talk, with a small white face, carrying a small bundle, and just followed Ah Tong's pace, gnawing on the rabbit's spine while walking.

At that time, the man let out a scream, which caused the guards to come to check, thinking that they had encountered some ferocious beast, they just took a look around with their swords and guns, but a small braid first hung down from the thick green branches and leaves, and then , a handsome little head appeared, and he was looking at everyone with doubts.

The man also saw Ah Tong's appearance and demeanor clearly, and then he relaxed, and finally walked behind Ah Tong involuntarily.

In this kind of wind, food and sleep, after walking for half a month, a group of soldiers finally got a glimpse of Zhaocheng.Ah Tong is loved by everyone because of his ability to hunt with one hand, and he is cute and tall.

At this moment, someone had already patted Ah Tong on the head, pointed to the majestic Zhaocheng gate in the distance, and introduced him to him.

"Hey! Boy, do you see that we are here. But the border is a heavy city, and military discipline is strict. You can't jump around anymore, do you hear me?"

Because Ah Tong made a lot of jokes along the way, everyone laughed when they heard the words, but Ah Tong still pouted and refused to admit it.

But the closer they got to Zhaocheng, the people couldn't laugh anymore.

The terrain of the whole Zhaocheng is extremely dangerous, the city gate is towering and majestic, facing the wind and rain, looking far away at the junction of the sky and the earth, the flat sand is vast, and it flies into the sky.

It's really called, one man guards the gate, and ten thousand men can't open it.

Zhaocheng, outside the lord's house, a black-faced man was hesitating at the door whether to go in, when an old man with a long beard came out from the side and stopped him.

"What's the matter, the general just fell asleep."

"Oh? The general can finally fall asleep?" The black-faced man heaved a sigh of relief. His general had been cured for many years of his stubborn illness, but it still didn't improve. Who can bear it if he doesn't sleep every day!

"Well, alas, it's just helpless, and I smoked incense again."

Hearing the words, the black-faced man sighed, "Also look at the situation, don't smoke that thing." Then he turned around and was about to leave.After all, no major event can disturb the general's hard-won drowsiness, let alone the incense.

The old man waved at the black-faced man and said, "What's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal. The recruits have entered the city. I'm wondering how to divide them up with the general."

The old man stroked his long beard, "You guys can figure it out, just check the people."

The black-faced man nodded in agreement, and looked back at the closed door of the general's room before leaving.

Inside the house, the incense burner on the table with swallowing swords and angry beasts is still emitting green smoke. The thin smoke is rich and fragrant. At this moment, it is lingering around the bed, wrapping around the person sleeping on the bed and clothes.

Zong Shuo struggled back and forth in dreams that smelled of rust, but in the end, somehow, the surroundings became silent, the sound of shouting and killing disappeared, and instead, birds and cicadas were singing everywhere, but he seemed to be haunted by a nightmare. Still can't move.

But it seemed that there was a child by his side, who was fluffy arching his temples, and then murmured softly.

"Well, it smells really good!"
