Chapter 76 The Big Cat Comes Out
Winter goes and spring comes, birds fly and grass grows, and it is time for the dragging Hu people to migrate southwest again.
As for nomadic peoples, it is always like this to live by water and plants.
The scenery is always seen by outsiders.
What are the "deer singing, eating the wild apples", what are the "solate smoke in the desert, the sun sets in the long river", what are the "cutting tines and birds singing", they are all the scenery in the eyes of outsiders.
And the hard work of people in the scenery is only known by themselves.
In recent years, several large tribes of the Hu people have been constantly fighting each other, so even the tribes among the migrants have also set aside and guarded against each other.
A day passed again and dusk came, and a faint blue smoke rose from the grassland.
That is the smoke after the dry cow dung is lit.
Nomads always circulate on the grassland, but there are not so many trees on the grassland. Even if you find a place with trees, there may not be so many ignition firewood.
Therefore, dried cow dung became the first choice for nomadic peoples to burn firewood.
To put it bluntly, cow dung is just grass, but there is no smell that comes from meat. Instead, the meat and milk tea cooked with dried cow dung have an indescribable fragrance.
Therefore, the amount of dry cow dung in each household of the Hu people is also one of the symbols of property.
Soon night fell, and under the night wind, the unextinguished fire was filled with red light.
And in the second half of the night, a group of Hu people suddenly made waves of neighing in a group of horses, as if they were bombing a camp!
Only when the Hu people have a fixed plan to stay for a while will the Hu people build a temporary horse ring, so the horse herds are now free-range.
Of course, the Hu people's horses will not run around, and the horse-herder only needs to watch over the horses and other horses will naturally follow.
The Hu people in charge of horse grazing were all good horse grazing players. They had never encountered any situation before. This should be a wild beast entering the horse herd, and they immediately lit up the torches.
And under the fire, they saw the horses running towards the distance in a mess!
For a moment, the wranglers couldn't help but look at each other. What's going on?
This is not the case of jackals attacking the horses!
Generally speaking, wolves are suspicious and jackals are afraid of people, so they will never come for fireworks.
In addition, even if the jackal comes, it can only reach the horses from the periphery. Just when the jackal approaches the horses, the horses will send a warning message.
The sons and horses are all strong stallions, and they are not afraid of wolves.
When it sees a wolf, it will definitely pedal with its hind legs when it turns.
That is a horse's hoof, no wolf can afford that hoof! Not to mention the jackal's numb waist, even their heads are not good!
But this time the horses were not working well. The horses and herds saw the herds running away, so they had no choice but to get on the horse and chase after them.
There are only a few torches under the night, but how can the horse-wranglers figure out what the situation is?
But they could only chase after the horses, but they could wait until the horses calmed down before chasing them back.
But they didn't know that the horses were so crazy because of the horses.
At this time, a "big cat" lay on the back of the horse.
The horse was so angry that it was so stumbled and ran away, but the big cat was as if it was nailed to the horse's back and couldn't shake it!
Ma Zi has never experienced this situation there!
Sometimes, there are naughty birds and other things falling on its back, but it only needs to shake its ponytail and fly.
But when did it encounter such a playful and playful person and throw "spikes" on its back and it can't be shaken down!
It instinctively felt the danger, so it didn't run away happily? It always had to throw the things on its back!
The news that wild beasts entered the horses soon reached the camping place of the Hu people. For a moment, more Hu people rode their horses and chased them out as they listened to the sound of horse hooves that were gone.
But they didn't know that there was a sound of horse hooves in their sheep pen.
A horse was kicking him and jogging to the distance. It would be fine if he was riding a man immediately, but he just threw two ropes off the horse and dragged two sheep!
The two ropes were tied to the necks of the two sheep with knots. Even if the sheep was not strangled, they could no longer "get out".
The horses ran away, and the noise was too loud, and the shepherds rode their horses to chase the horses.
The remaining two shepherds came to visit the other end and heard the movement, but they didn't know that the two sheep had lost!
The man rode the horse and dragged the two sheep and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
When the horse ran far enough, the horse stopped the horse.
The sound of dragging came again in the darkness. After a moment, the horse kicked him and trotted again, while the two sheep that had lost their breath were already on both sides of the horse's back.
If this Hu horse is really majestic, then the horse will be more than 100 pounds, and the two fat sheep together will have to be about 200 pounds.
Not every horse can trot with a weight of about three pounds.
Why do you need to run with two sheep on horses? It is because dragging will leave traces on the grassland.
But this time it turned out to be a horse running, and it was dawn. It was impossible for the Hu people to follow the clues and find him, a sheep thief, based on the traces of the drag.
As if there was a heart-to-heart relationship, the horse thief disappeared in the darkness, but the horses that seemed to have exploded in the distance became even more chaotic.
"What is that?" a Hu man shouted.
Under the faint light of fire, the herders who were struggling to chase the horses faintly saw a black shadow flashing on the back of a horse.
The black shadow was moving so fast, but it jumped from the first horse to the second one like electricity.
Then, jump from the second horse to the third horse!
The horses were running, but the black shadow jumped on the back of the horses. Everything was moving, everything was so fast.
If a horse gallops like lightning, then what is that black shadow? Because it is faster than that horse!
The Hu people have never seen such a situation before, and they no longer know what to do!
And just as they were at a loss, the black shadow jumped off a horse and disappeared.
At this time, these horse-herders vaguely thought that the black shadow should be a lynx, because only the wild beasts of the cat family have the ability to jump up and down.
However, this matter is strange inside and outside!
Who has ever seen a lynx that dares to jump around on a horse's back, and he still knows not to jump from the front of the horse's direction!
Because no matter how fast the lynx runs, it may not be able to avoid the galloping horses behind it, so it may be turned into meat sauce!
...
At dawn, I don’t care about the noise of the Hu people who have been struggling all night.
At this time, clear smoke was already rising in a place far away from the Hu people, and a young man dressed in Hu people was roasting lamb legs on the fire. The aroma of lamb and cumin mixed together was filled with the air.
A lynx like a big cat lay across the young man, looking at the golden grilled lamb legs with its head raised.
The young man dressed up by Hu was Shang Zhen, while the lynx who was already an adult who looked trembling in his heart was a little cat!
