Chapter 274 Crescent Moon Spring
Ten days later, a young man wearing sheep felt appeared on Lingding Sea. The young man was in his twenties, riding a bald donkey. There was a bamboo pole in front of the donkey with a carrot tied on it. It was only three feet away from the donkey's head. No matter how fast it speeded up, it could never eat what it wanted, and it was so angry that it squirted.
Lingding Sea is not the sea, but a large grassland. In the ancient Western Chu language, Lingding Sea is also called Hallle Sea, which means that the green grassland is as wide as the sea.
It is already late autumn.
The late autumn on the grassland is very charming. Without the winding autumn in the south of the Yangtze River, the autumn in the capital is filled with sadness. In the vast grassland, the autumn on the sea is full of solemn and murderous.
This is probably exotic.
Especially at night, autumn insects are hiding in the grass and making their last whine. The unknown birds in the sky are awakened by hunted bobcats, and a shallow shadow passes through the night sky, reflected under the full moon like a disc, which is particularly romantic.
The day is about to dawn.
The young man is still rushing on the road. With his internal strength, it is not difficult to bear the slaughter of autumn, but it consumes too much internal strength and the effect is far less effective than a sheep felt. So after entering Lingding Sea, the young man bought a sheep felt from the herdsmen to resist the wind and cold at night.
The wind was strong on the grassland, and the young man felt a little cold. He wrapped the sheep felt around his body and cursed, "It's so damn cold."
He looked at the sky and said, "There is light!"
So a ray of light appeared in the sky.
The young man said again, "You need wine!"
The wine bag is still empty.
He sighed and looked at the skinny donkey, and became envious. At least, the donkey still has a carrot, which is enough to support its progress.
He had been in Lingding Sea for three days, and heard from the shepherd that even if he traveled a hundred miles a day and night, he would take half a month to go out without getting lost.
The young man was thinking about whether to rest for a while, suddenly raised his head alertly.
A roar came from the earth, and the entire grassland began to tremble. Countless animals hiding in the grass heard this sound and fled everywhere.
The young man's first reaction was that Western Chu and the Ming Dynasty's expedition to the Western Army began to fight. He left Hulukou for half a month and traveled westward, but could not receive news of the war in Western Xinjiang.
The next scene made the young man feel deeply shocked.
On the grassland, countless wild horses were spreading their four hooves and rushed towards the direction where they were. The young man looked at it and felt that the wild horses were endless, with only a few thousand horses. Under the horse's hooves, the turf was rolled up, and the fragrance of green grass filled the air.
Woo woo woo woo woo!
Someone blew a trumpet in the west.
He saw more than ten people riding horses, holding poles like lasso in their hands, urging the horses while shouting and driving away the wild horses.
Woo woo woo woo woo!
There were twenty or thirty people in the south and north, some people blew horns, some people shaking strange bells, and some people used horse poles to control the wild horse's running formation.
As he ran rapidly, the exhausted wild horse was a little slow, and someone put a horse pole on his head. At first, the wild horse was struggling, but the running distance was too long, and he lost his resistance and was taken over by the person behind him.
Go past.
The young people were also shocked.
The founding of Western Chu Kingdom for hundreds of years has always been a nomadic people. In recent years, emerging forces have risen, city-states have gradually increased, and farming culture has been introduced. In addition, the Central Plains culture has been introduced. Its capital, Xijing, is said to be completely imitating the construction of the Central Plains and is known as the Little Chang'an. However, in most places, nomadic people still occupy the mainstream. It is precisely because of the confrontation between the old and new forces that the political situation in Western Chu has suffered a lot of shocks over the years.
The people I met today are the Gubang people, one of the two major forces in Lingdinghai.
Lingding Sea has lush grass, a large number of wild horses, and long-lasting endurance, which is quite famous in the world. Many famous horses in the Western Chu come from Lingding Sea. Every late autumn, the Gubang tribes will set up wild horses on the grassland. After a winter of taming, the wild horses will come here to select war horses in the spring of the following year.
Among the thousands of wild horses, the one in the head was red all over and there was a strand of white hair on the forehead. The horse was strong, smooth all over, strong limbs, tall and mighty, but with a hint of wildness.
Look at a skin from a distance and look at the hoofs close up.
This red-haired and white-browed horse is the king of horses. Also known as the Fire Kirin, it is the best among horses and a rare thing. The Chu royal family once asked for a lot of money to buy it and searched for the Fire Kirin across the country and passed on an order that a Fire Kirin could be worth a tax of a thousand people a year.
This group of ancient people have been following the horses for more than ten days. On this trip, they have captured nearly a hundred wild horses. They accidentally discovered the Fire Kirin and tracked them for several days before choosing to capture them at dawn today.
The young man saw the fire kirin at a glance and secretly praised him, "Good horse!" These wild horses had arrived half a mile away. They were covered in black all around. He was wearing a scattered donkey, like a boating against the current, and could be crushed by the torrent at any time.
However, the bastard donkey was full of excitement. He rose his hooves and screamed at the wild horses, with a strange cry. After all, he was known as a dragon species and was walking alone for thousands of miles. When he encountered so many wild horses, he was as excited as the emperor was inspecting his own harem.
The wild horses came to their eyes in a blink of an eye and heard these strange screams. They were divided into two strands more than ten meters away, diverting them from both sides of the young man. In this way, they gave him a buffering opportunity.
In the distance, a big man in fur clothes shouted in ancient Bang language, "Ali, Buda, stop the Fire Qilin quickly, and further forward is the territory of the cunning Huo Le people. If you want to take action on them, it is probably difficult for the patriarch to explain."
When two young Gubang people heard the call, they drove their horses forward and chased them. Although they were very good at riding, they were still more than a hundred feet away from the Fire Kirin. The horses walked around them and blocked them from afar.
Seeing that the tax on the year that was about to be obtained slipped away, everyone expressed regret. At this moment, a soft scolding sounded, and saw a ball of fire riding a dark horse, walking through the wild horse with skillful riding skills, leaning over like a fire unicorn.
The young man's eyes were attracted by the woman in red.
The woman is tall, with a goose neck, slender waist, long hair and long legs, and fair skin. At first glance, she looks extremely beautiful, but she does not have the slightest slightest aura of the Central Plains women. On the contrary, she has a compelling heroic spirit.
In an instant, the woman had arrived in front of the Fire Kirin and chased it closely, waving the horse pole, ready to put it on its head.
Ali, Buda was blocked and could not come over to support him in time, shouting, "Crescent Spring, Fire Kirin is extremely powerful, you must be careful!"
The woman in red said, "I will definitely be able to catch the Fire Qilin for my tribe!" After that, she put a lasso on the head of the Fire Qilin.
The Fire Kirin was originally the horse king, and had a hot temper. Now, when she saw it being locked, she immediately ran away. It had a strong horsepower, dragging the woman in red and the war horse under her to rush around.
The woman in red was dragged to the point of being dragged. With one breath, she gritted her teeth and refused to let go. Although she was handsome, she had been fighting since she was a child and was more like a boy. She either fought or fought every day. Huo Qilin had a stubborn temper, and her temper was even more stubborn. Her palm that grabbed the lasso was strangled with blood, and she didn't hum.
Seeing that the Huo Qilin could not get rid of the lasso, the woman stopped suddenly. The woman slowed down without any hurry to speed up her horse and rushed forward. The Huo Qilin raised her front hooves and pulled the left side of the avatar. Driven by inertia, the woman in red was thrown into the air. She flipped over and rode on the back of the Huo Qilin with the help of the lasso. She grabbed the lasso with one hand and grabbed the horse's mane with the other hand, tightly pressing the Huo Qilin.
The Huo Qilin was so angry that she flew together, and she jumped up half a foot. The woman in red slipped her palms and didn't hold them firmly. She landed on the ground, was dragged by the Huo Qilin and ran around.
Ali, Buda knew that the woman in red was the daughter of the patriarch. She had already violated a taboo in the clan when she secretly followed her out this time. If the Huo Qilin had gone around, wouldn't the patriarch have stripped them of their skin?
They were anxious and shouted, "Crescent Spring, dangerous! Let go!" But the woman in red was reluctant to listen, and refused to untie the lasso.
Not far away, there was a huge rock. Seeing this, the Fire Kirin dragged the woman in red and ran towards the other side. If she really hit her, would the woman in red still die on the spot?
The situation is very critical.
At this time, the fire Qilin was less than ten feet away from the young man. The young man patted the skinny donkey, "Brother Lu, can't we stop saving you when we die, right?"
The skinny donkey had already noticed the fire unicorn. He heard this and nodded fiercely, rose up and screamed.
The Fire Kirin was only concerned about getting rid of the woman in red. When she heard the scream, she glanced at this side. It was not too much to see it. She was shocked when she saw it. It was a dignified horse king. She had never seen such an ugly donkey. She even grinned her teeth and smiled at it.
The Huo Qilin was so panicked that he stopped suddenly, his front hooves softened, and he knelt on the ground with a thud. The woman in red was thrown out by inertia.
Seeing this, the young man poked out the bamboo pole with a carrot in his hand, hooked the woman in red, and sent her internal force to hook the woman over, but the lasso in his hand loosened.
The Fire Kirin returned to freedom, endured the fear, and ran away.
As soon as the woman in red landed, she yelled in a rumbling voice. The young man couldn't understand it. She shouted in Chinese: "Han, return my fire Qilin!"
The young man said, "Girl, I saved your life!"
"Who asked you to save me?" The woman in red saw that Huo Qilin had run to the territory of the Huole clan. When she thought of the taxes of her clan members, her eyes turned red and she started crying.
Ali and Buda also arrived in time, looked at the young man, and said in stiff Chinese, "Thank you brothers, saved the Crescent Spring."
The young man said wonderingly, "The Crescent Spring?"
Ali said, "This is the name of us Gubang people. Her big name is Dilinaza, which means the Crescent Spring, and it is the stars on our Hole grassland."
