Snow falls on the foothills in front of and behind the mountains.
On the snowy mountain path, the blood on the ground had frozen into ice. Zhu Ping'an used all his strength to pull out the spear that had pierced the wild wolf. A deep pit appeared on the gravel, ice and snow covered mountain road.
"Brother Wang, you have great spear skills."
Zhu Ping'an held the spear flat in both hands and handed it to Wang Xiaoer who was standing beside him. He looked at the deep pit on the ground and sighed.
"Sir, you are joking. Xiao Er is just a brute force."
Wang Xiaoer took the spear, twisted his hands slightly and retracted the long handle of the spear into the gun barrel, turning the spear into a short spear, and then carried it on his back. If it weren't for the spear behind him, he would never have been able to connect him with the amazing shot that pierced the wolf just now.
Whew Whew
While the two were talking, they heard an unpleasant horse neighing. Zhu Ping'an looked up and saw a stupid and idiotic idiot, a Shamatte black horse, carrying a burly man and running towards them.
Nima
This guy even has a horse face running back!
Zhu Pingan really wanted to cook this stupid and brainless Shamatte dark horse into a pot of horse meat soup! If it weren't for this stupid and brainless idiot, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
"This is your horse, right? Oh, it turned out that it encountered a wolf. No wonder the horse bit my belt and pulled me here when it saw me. I was chopping wood. It's really a smart horse." The burly man supported himself with one hand, stretched out his hand and jumped off the back of the black horse nimbly, and spoke to Zhu Ping'an and Wang Xiaoer.
Well
It turns out that this idiot knows how to call for help. However, what's the use? If it weren't for Brother Wang, this idiot would probably only be able to dig out a few pieces of his own limbs from the wolf's mouth after calling for help! But considering that this idiot still knows how to call for help, let's give it another chance.
As for what the big man said about spirituality
Forget it, this is obviously a stupid, moron and brain-dead horse. I have to train this stupid horse well in the future to prevent it from becoming brain-dead again.
"Yes, thank you very much for coming here out of kindness." Zhu Ping'an bowed.
"Why should you thank me? I didn't do anything. It's very cold in this snowy day. If you don't mind, come to my house and have some hot food." The big man waved his hand nonchalantly, looked at the snow covered Zhu Ping'an and Wang Xiaoer, and extended an invitation to the two of them.
"Son-in-law, why don't you go with this elder brother and rest for a day? I'll go home to report a message and ask for instructions, and then come back to find you. We can go to Beijing together to take the exam. I can also run errands for you on the way."
Wang Xiaoer also agreed with the big man's proposal. After all, Zhu Ping'an had just experienced the wild wolf incident, and he needed time to relax and rest. He also needed to rest because he had fallen hard. In addition, he also needed to go home and tell the young lady. The young lady was particularly concerned about the reaction of the son-in-law to the marriage proposal. He had to tell the young lady about the son-in-law's encounter with the wolf this time... ...
"No need, Brother Wang. I'm not made of paper or clay. As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. This journey is just the right time for me to gain some insights. Don't tell your family about what happened today. Especially my family, so that they won't worry about me."
Zhu Ping'an shook his head and asked Wang Xiaoer not to tell his family about his encounter with the wolf today when he returned, as he was worried that his parents, especially his mother Chen, would be worried.
"This..." Wang Xiaoer hesitated.
"Please." Zhu Ping'an bowed slightly and said begging.
"Okay, son-in-law, but it won't be too late for you to rest with this elder brother for a few days before going to take the exam."
Wang Xiaoer slightly moved away from the direction where Zhu Ping'an was bowing, and again suggested that Zhu Ping'an stay with the man for a few days. Wang Xiaoer nodded to Zhu Ping'an's request. However, he only went back and did not tell Zhu Ping'an's parents, but still had to report the truth to the young lady.
"Time flies, how can I wait?" Zhu Pingan smiled and casually patted the snow off his body. He shook his head, then turned around and asked the burly man, "Excuse me, big brother, how far is this mountain road?"
"This is Yingchou Gorge. Three miles ahead is our Laoya Village. After our village, another eight miles is the small town." The big man replied, pointing to the mountain road.
"Great. It's not too late to rest when we get to the small town." Zhu Ping'an bowed to thank him, then got on the horse.
"Brother Wang, thank you very much for what you did today. I will never forget it. Please give my regards to Master Li." Zhu Ping'an bowed and said goodbye to Wang Xiaoer on horseback.
After Zhu Ping'an said goodbye to Wang Xiao'er, he said to the burly man beside him, "Thank you for your kindness, brother. But it's more important for me to travel safely. Well, I'll leave this wild wolf to you, brother."
After saying that, Zhu Ping'an rode his horse forward in the wind and snow and continued on his journey.
Wang Xiaoer looked at Zhu Ping'an's back as he hurried on his way in the snow, full of admiration. His uncle had just been to the gates of hell, but he didn't care at all as he just brushed off the snow and continued on his way.
Such a person is definitely not an ordinary person.
The lady really has good eyesight.
Wang Xiaoer sighed deeply.
As for the burly man on the other side, he was looking at the stiff wolf on the snow with a look of joy. If it was sold to the town, it would surely fetch a lot of money, and now his family could finally get some financial support.
"Um, this wolf, you..." The burly man felt he needed to ask again.
"Take it home. I have something else to do. So let's say goodbye." Wang Xiaoer shook his head and turned away.
The only person left on the mountain trail was a burly man who happily carried the wolf on his shoulders and took a shortcut home along the narrow slope.
Zhu Ping'an, who was traveling in the wind and snow, did not forget to instill the concept of "you are just a horse" to the Shamatte dark horse under him, so that this idiot could face his reality and not think that he is a tiger or something. At least don't take him with him on the road to shit!
It didn't take long to reach the end of the three-mile mountain road. At the end of the mountain road was a village that looked much more dilapidated than Xiahe Village. There were not many families in the village, but at the end of the village there were two forks in the road, so Zhu Ping'an was unsure which one to take. At the fork in the road at the entrance of the village, there was a skinny child squatting on the ground eating snow, probably because he was starving.
"Little boy, tell your brother which direction the small town is?" Zhu Ping'an asked in a gentle voice while riding on his horse.
"Where is it?"
The child who was eating snow raised his head and pointed in a direction.
"Thank you, little friend. Well, this is your brother's way of thanking you." Zhu Ping'an got off his horse and walked to the child, handing a small bag of beef jerky weighing nearly two kilograms to the child.
The child looked at the tall horse beside Zhu Ping'an and was at a loss as to what to do.
"Here, this is a thank you from your brother for showing you the way. It's delicious. Go back and ask your mother to heat it up for you. Don't eat snow anymore. Be careful not to get an upset stomach. It will hurt a lot."
Zhu Pingan smiled as he spoke, touched the child's head, put the bag in the child's hand, then turned around, mounted his horse and followed the path the child pointed to the small town. (To be continued.)
