It dawned early in summer, and not long after the two fell asleep, the barbarian got up and called for the two to go on their way.
Since the entrance of the cave was unobstructed, the mountain wind blew directly when he slept. There was spiritual energy flowing in the fat man's body, which could resist the cold. However, the south wind failed, and he actually got cold and had a runny nose.
As the saying goes, returning home is as fast as an arrow. The barbarians were eager to return to the village and walked very fast. Nanfeng walked a few steps and ran a few steps, trying his best to follow.
Due to the language barrier, he was unable to ask the barbarians about the situation in the village, so he could only go on his way.
There are disadvantages of language barrier, but there are also advantages of language barrier. The two can talk freely without having to avoid barbarians.
While rushing on the road, Fatty had been observing the complexion around the lake, but there was no sign of Li Chaozong and others being active. It is also possible that Li Chaozong and others were active but did not use spiritual energy.
Traveling quickly, the three of them arrived near the village before sunset. The village was built on a sunny slope, and the lake was at the foot of the back mountain, more than ten miles apart.
Most of the villages of the barbarians are wooden houses. Unlike the Han people who live next to each other, the barbarians live relatively scattered. The entire sunny slope is full of wooden houses, neither in rows nor in columns, which is very messy.
There is also a high mountain to the west of the village, running north to south. At the foot of the mountain is a large flat area, covering an area of hundreds of acres. There is a horse-proof fence around it, and many peach trees are planted inside. This is when the peaches are ripe. In season, the trees are covered with red peaches.
With beautiful mountains and clear waters, green leaves and red peaches, it should have been an elegant scene, but this elegance was ruined by the screams coming from the village from time to time. Listening to the sound, it seemed that some livestock was being slaughtered.
The barbarian pointed out the location of the peach blossom forest to the two of them and headed north. The two of them carried their things and headed west.
"Are you killing a horse or a donkey?" the fat man asked.
Nanfeng had never seen a horse being killed, nor a donkey being killed. He couldn't tell which animal the screams belonged to, but the screams kept coming and going, and no matter what they were killing, there must be more than one killed.
There was a watchtower at the entrance. When the barbarians on the watchtower saw the two approaching, they shouted loudly in barbarian language, which the two men could not understand.
Seeing the expressions on the two men's faces, the sentry changed his tone to a lame shout, "Don't come in, hurry up and leave."
Since Li Chaozong and others were not far away from the back mountain, Nanfeng did not dare to speak loudly and continued to move forward until the other party drew his bow to shoot, then he said, "Don't let go of arrows. Your valley master asked us to come. It's his brother."
"Who are you?" The sentry lowered his bow and arrow.
"I told you, you don't know. Go and call your valley master." The fat man shook the bag containing the gold nugget.
The sentry recognized the pocket, lowered his head and shouted a few words to the barbarians below. Some of them turned around and ran away. It was obvious that they were going to report Hua Trick'er.
The two of them stopped outside Dejuma, put down their things, and waited for Hua Qi'er to pick them up.
Not long after, Hua Qier's voice came from inside, "Which brother is here?"
Nanfeng was short, so when he heard Hua Qi'er's voice, he hurriedly climbed on his horse and waved to Hua Qi'er, "Brother, it's me."
Hua Ci'er was very happy to see Nanfeng and greeted her with a big smile, "Hahahaha, little Beifeng, it's you."
"Hahaha, when did the wind change?" The fat man laughed.
Seeing that it was Hua Qi'er's brother who came, the gatekeeper opened the gate and the two of them entered carrying their things.
Hua Qi'er might have been slaughtering livestock earlier, and her hands were covered in blood. When she got close, she slapped Nan Feng on the shoulder, "Are your arms feeling better?"
As soon as he patted it, he found bloody fingerprints on Nanfeng's shoulders. He quickly stopped and wiped his left and right armpits, "Why are you covered in mud?"
"The mountain road is not easy to walk on, so I fell down a few times." Nanfeng said with a smile.
Hua Qier's eyes moved downward, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face, "Why did you bring something? Brothers don't need to bring anything. If you bring something, you don't treat me as a brother!"
"These are things for women, and they are for my sister-in-law." After Nanfeng finished speaking, he nuzzled at the wine jar that the fat man was carrying, "We are here to drink with you."
"Don't do this, you are only thinking about the cub hatched by the big girl." Hua Qi'er exposed Nanfeng's words unceremoniously, and then took the thing from Nanfeng's hand, "Let's talk inside."
Nanfeng followed Hua Qi'er, "Brother Ying Ming, how many eggs did the eagle lay? Have they hatched yet?"
"I don't know why the big girl is good at eating and drinking but not fertile. She just laid one. I don't know if it hatched or not. I haven't gone to Xishan in the past few days." Hua Ci'er said.
"Ouch!" the fat man shouted.
Nanfeng tilted his head when he heard the sound, and saw a spotted leopard walking out of the peach forest, baring its teeth at the fat man picking peaches.
Hua Ci'er heard the noise and said something savage to the leopard. The leopard bowed and retreated, hiding in the forest.
"These peaches are not delicious, but there are good ones on the mountain." Huacic'er said to the fat man.
"This, this, this..." The fat man discovered something again.
Following what the fat man pointed, Nan Feng saw a huge red snake, as thick as the mouth of a bowl, coiled around the branches of a peach tree.
Hua Qi'er put down her things, grabbed a handful of gray powder from her waist pocket, and sprinkled some on each of them, "Okay, let's go."
The powder was thought to be some kind of medicinal powder. The smell was very strong, and Nan Feng sneezed.
Hua Qi'er turned around and saw Nanfeng wiping his nose, and asked, "Why did you catch the cold?"
"The wind blew last night," Nanfeng said.
"Call the doctor to treat you later." Hua Qi'er strode forward.
Not long after, the three of them passed through the peach grove, and their eyes suddenly opened up. Hundreds of acres of open space were divided into two areas, north and south. In the south was a flat pasture with long pastures and a large number of livestock, mainly horses, and some. There is something else. The northern area is full of ferocious beasts, separated by fences. There are tigers, leopards, wolves and bears. The wolves are the most numerous. There must be thousands of tigers and leopards. There are also hundreds of tigers and leopards. There are not many bears, there are hundreds of them. However, these bears are similar to ordinary bears. It is much larger than the body, more than one foot tall when standing upright.
The screams they heard earlier were of donkeys being killed. A group of barbarians were feeding the slaughtered donkeys to the tigers, leopards and jackals. They just killed them and fed them whole without cutting them apart.
"Brother, do these beasts obey your orders?" Nanfeng looked at the wolves snatching food. A donkey was thrown in and was devoured in the blink of an eye. Not to mention those tigers, leopards and bears. A pack of wolves is worth an army.
"These are not ferocious beasts. You haven't seen them so ferocious yet." Hua Ci'er was proud of herself. "I'll take you underground to see them someday. We have an agreement. Don't blame me if you pee your pants in fear." Ha ha ha ha."
"The fence is so short, will they cross the border and kill?" the fat man asked casually.
Hua Qi'er wanted to show off and shouted a few words loudly. The beasts that were frantically grabbing for food immediately stopped eating and ran to the middle of the fence to form a formation. In a moment, the formation was completed, and the formation was even longer than the formation of soldiers. neat.
The two of them were shocked when they saw this, but what shocked them was still behind them. As Hua Qi'er shouted, a group of tigers, leopards, wolves and bears sometimes lay down and sometimes leaped forward, obeying orders and prohibitions in an orderly manner.
"Even the emperor's thousands of troops are no match for these ferocious beasts of the Valley Master." The fat man marveled.
"You have some knowledge." Hua Ci'er laughed proudly.
While Hua Qier was laughing, a woman who was feeding shouted something barbaric. The beast heard it, dispersed the group, and continued eating.
"This is my eighth sister," Hua Qi'er pointed at the feeding barbarians and introduced them to the two of them, "These are all my brothers and sisters. Although their ability to drive animals is not as good as mine, they are still somewhat capable."
After Hua Ci'er finished speaking, he introduced Nanfeng to those people, "This is my sworn brother Xiao Beifeng."
Those barbarians were busy and raised their right hands when they heard this. This may be a courtesy of the barbarians, or it may be a way of saying hello.
Nanfeng hurriedly clasped his fists in return, and those people lowered their hands and went about their business.
"Valley Master, are these twelve brothers and sisters of yours?" the fat man asked. When everyone raised their hands earlier, he happened to count them.
"I have nine younger brothers and four younger sisters, all biological." Hua Cinger said.
"Why is there one missing?" the fat man asked.
"Little Fourteen is watching the big girl hatching eggs in Xishan..."
