Throughout the ages, there has been no shortage of anecdotal stories of humans and animals teaming up and helping each other in the land of China. There are not a few sects in the martial arts world who are good at this, and among thousands of sects, there is a method of training dogs in a variety of tricks. Xu Yangchen's Zuodao Sect also has the art of taming animals. It emphasizes that all things have animism, orderly birth and restraint, and animals that are not predestined will not fall down. If you enter the door, you will be a fellow Taoist, so you will not accept it if you have no fate.
That day, when Xu Yangchen was talking about Jianghu anecdotes, he also mentioned that there was a strange sect that subdued beasts in the world, and the sect passed down a strange book called the Book of Subduing Beasts. This book records the likes and dislikes of the beasts and the related secret recipes of the herbs. With successful practice, you can subjugate the beasts as soldiers. It's just that the inheritance conditions are strict, and only those with extraordinary talents who have the power of bears and tigers can be passed on.
The giant in front of him has the body of a bear, a lion's nose, a catfish's mouth, and flaming eyes and tiger's eyes. It looks like a giant beast. It is the typical body and appearance of this family figure.
Li Muye looked at it for a long time before denying it in broken Mongolian: "I came here from Ulaanbantuo to do business."
The giant asked: "What kind of business are you doing?"
"Buying dogs." Li Muye replied calmly: "He opened a dog meat restaurant over there."
The giant frowned, looked at Li Muye with disgust, and said indignantly: "Mongolians who eat dogs will be punished by Changshengtian. Are you Han?"
In the grassland, the behaviors of killing dogs, eating dog meat, skinning dogs and sleeping on dog skin mats will be regarded as ungrateful and unforgivable sins by the grassland people. The men on the grassland are all drunkards, and it is common for a rider to get drunk and fall off his horse to freeze to death in the snow. Some of them did not die because they brought dogs with them. It was the dog that ran home, holding the mistress's fur robe in its mouth, and called the people who rescued the man from the deep snow. In the Elun Grassland, every household has a life-saving dog, and there are men and women whose lives have been saved by dogs.
Li Muye's good friend Bai Peng is Mongolian, and brothers Qi Tian are also Mongolian. They have known each other for many years and respect each other's customs. They know their national customs very well. The reason why they said this deliberately is actually just to divert each other's attention.
Li Muye saw that this giant had the temperament of a dog, and one intestine could not contain the temperament of two ounces of butter. Deliberately irritating him, I didn't even look at him.
When the giant saw that Li Muye was dismissive of his question, he immediately became angry. He pointed at Li Muye and said, "You must be a Han. You Han people don't have nomadic herding, and you don't have many hunters. You've eaten up all the food you can eat." Eat them all, so you don’t know the benefits of dogs.”
"What's wrong with me being a Han?" Li Muye followed his lead and started talking nonsense to him. He responded briefly and asked, "What's so good about dogs?"
The giant was stunned for a moment, then said: "You Han people have a large population and are not deserted. You don't need dogs to accompany you to relieve your boredom. How can you know how good dogs are?"
Li Muye asked, "Don't you feel lonely when there are more people?" He changed the topic and said, "But there is some truth in what you said. Sometimes people are indeed not as reliable as dogs."
The giant was an upright person and had been led into a ditch. He took it for granted and nodded: "That's enough." He also said: "You Han people not only eat dogs but also hate dogs. You have arranged many dogs' lives." I have learned a lot of bad words in China for several years, and I have heard more than a dozen words about dogs: wolf-hearted and dog-lunged, inferior to pigs and dogs, bullshit, dogs rely on human power, dogs jump over walls, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, dogs look down on people, dog-legged, beat up drowned dogs, dogs Sitting in a sedan chair without knowing how to lift..."
"Have a glass of wine and speak slowly." Li Muye poured a bowl of wine for him and handed it to him.
The giant was not polite, took the wine bowl in his hand, drank it all in one breath, and said: "My name is Hu Lei Bao, what is your name?"
"What a coincidence, my surname is also Hu." Li Muye said nonsensically: "My name is Hu Meng Ni, Meng is Meng from Mencius, Ni is Ni from Suan Ni, which means lion."
"Hu Mengyi?" The giant scratched his head and said, "It sounds a bit strange." He then said, "My Hu evolved from the Huledu clan. How did your Han Hu come from? "
Li Muzhi said, it came from his big fool. He spoke in Chinese and said: "My Hu comes from legend. It comes from the sage Hu Zixian in ancient times. It is a surname based on the name of an ancestor. It is recorded in the biographies of immortals in historical records: There is an immortal Hu Zixian. Among his descendants and descendants, Among the disciples, there were those who took the name of their ancestors as their surnames, and were called Zishi or Zixianshi. Later, the Huzishi provincial abbreviation was changed to the single surname Hushi.
Half of this statement comes from reading, and the other half is nonsense. All the secrets can be summed up in one word: drag! In Qianmen, this tactic is often used. When a sensitive topic needs to be avoided, the topic is deliberately brought to all ends of the world, as far away as possible. Delay time and destroy the other person's interest in the previous topic. Even in an unfavorable situation, it was delayed until reinforcements arrived.
Hu Leibao didn't notice this at all. At this moment, he was in the middle of a conversation and said excitedly: "I was born in Qiuba Mountain. My surname is Hu, and your surname is Hu. Although we are not of the same race, we have the same surname. It’s such a coincidence.”
Li Muye then took the opportunity to invite him to eat mutton, and then ordered another pot of mutton and two large pots of wine. He also ordered two pots of mutton and two pots of wine for the two people.
Meng people are simple and easy to make friends with, and they will become friends after a bowl of wine. Hu Leibao was very happy and immediately toasted to express his gratitude, praising Li Muye as a good friend. The two of them exchanged cups and drank lively. Li Muye asked casually: "Brother, what do you do?"
Hu Lei Bao said: "I am an orphan. I used to work for the rich to make a living. A few years ago, I met a Han man and said that I was suitable to be his apprentice, so he took me to China and lived in the Yin Mountains. A few years later, when my master got old, he wrote a letter to introduce me to Uncle Sen and help him raise animals and so on." He pointed at the two strange beasts and said, "That is the Yinshan Snow Leopard. That's a mane hound, I raised them all."
"It looks quite scary." Li Muye said.
"This is nothing. Uncle Sen has set up a breeding base in the mountains to the west to cultivate various wild animals for the nobles to hunt. There are many wild boars and brown bears weighing thousands of kilograms, as well as tigers and lions." Hu Leibao was eating. While saying: "Anyway, there are everything from flying in the sky to swimming in the water to running on the ground."
"How much does it cost to feed so many animals a year?" Li Muye said, "Uncle Sen, you must be a big boss."
Hu Leibao said: "That's for sure. Uncle Sen is a nobleman of Mongolia. He manages a land that even a few horses can't cover. He lives in a house suspended by three airships. I've been there. Once, everything used in it was made of gold. There were beauties from all over the world in that house, with all skin colors, each one more beautiful than the other. He kept the best thoroughbred horses in his thoroughbred horse farm and ate the best grass. It’s all flown in from Australia.”
"Brother, are you a bit too boastful?" Li Muye had almost finished eating and teased him slowly and calmly.
"We Mongolian men are not like you Han people who like to brag. What I say is all the truth." Hu Lei Bao said: "Uncle Sen's business has spread all over the world. Those wealthy people in the Middle East come to Uncle Sen every spring to do business. There are those European and American tycoons who like to come to Uncle Mori’s territory to hunt, and I have served them several times.”
What he said was much more detailed than the information provided by Timov. Although it was somewhat tinged with personal conjecture, it was more intuitive and three-dimensional in comparison.
This is a man who keeps his mouth shut after drinking. Li Muye deliberately tried to trick him and said: "According to what you said, you should be very busy. Why do you come all the way here?" Is your little place here?”
Hu Leibao said: "This is a job sent by Uncle Sen. He ordered me to bring the Beast Corps to cooperate with Uncle Sen's guards to capture a Han man."
Li Muye said: "No wonder you asked me as soon as you entered the door if I came from the west. It seems that you haven't caught this guy yet? What bad thing has he done? Uncle Sen wants to catch him? Why don't you ask the government mounted police for help? ?”
Hu Lei Bao chuckled and said: "The mounted policemen in this area with a radius of 200 kilometers are all maintained by Uncle Sen. They have to do whatever they are asked to do. If they are really needed, they will be used long ago, but the Han man is not simple either." , we set up a dragnet last night but couldn’t catch him, and those ordinary mounted policemen couldn’t help at all.”
With a radius of two hundred kilometers, it amounts to more than 120,000 square kilometers, which is larger than the area of some provinces in the mainland. It sounds a bit exaggerated, but to Li Muye it is not beyond imagination. The Mongolian Plateau is vast and sparsely populated, with an area of about 1.6 million square kilometers, equivalent to more than 40 Taiwan provinces. There are less than 3 million people living on the land. With Huosen's strength, he obtained it from the Mongolian government. It's not surprising that it covers such a large area.
This country is rich in mineral resources and has a developed animal husbandry industry. Most of the resources are controlled by a few people. There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor, and the polarization of social classes is very serious. There are extremely poor families like Wu Lanzhu, and there are business tycoons like Huo Sen who occupy many social resources.
Now that we are on the same level as the Huo family, as an opponent, the more we know about him, the better.
Li Muye looked at the time and saw that it was less than an hour before the time agreed with Xiaofen. It was rare to meet this muddy and dull giant, so he wanted to take advantage of this time to get more information from him. So I ordered another pot of mutton and four large pots of wine.
"Brother, my trip here is really not in vain. Meeting you is an eye-opener. If nothing else, those two animals are enough to increase my knowledge." Li Muye toasted and continued: "I'm here I have been doing business for several years, and I didn’t know that there was such an amazing person in the Mongolian grassland as Mr. Sen. When I heard you say this, I felt that Mr. Sen was so amazing. His business is so big. , it must require a lot of people, how much consumption does it take for people to eat and feed horses for a day, this is a big business."
Hu Leibao picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then poured another full bowl himself and said: "You Han people have smart brains. If I just say a few words to you, you will immediately think of a way to do business."
Li Muye said: "I can't help it, it's hard to get a job now."
Hu Leibao said: "You run a restaurant. Uncle Sen's place is called the Evernight City. It has its own canteen and its own fruit and vegetable planting base. Chickens, ducks, fish and other things are also farmed, and it can supply tens of thousands of people." The problem is that food needs to be purchased from Russia.”
This man had magical powers and a loyal and honest temper. It seemed that he was deeply trusted by Huo Sen, but he was not very emotionally intelligent and did not use this trust to gain fame and fortune for himself. Li Muye was thinking while listening. When he heard this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he seemed to have grasped something. He quickly asked: "Purchase grain from Russia? Why not buy it from China? Wouldn't it be much cheaper?"
"Uncle Sen has a friend who has connections with Lao Maozi and can buy cheap and good food, so we all import food from the north."
"The food supply in Russia has been very tight in the past few years, and the export control is very strict. It seems that this friend of Uncle Sen is not simple." Li Muye said slowly, and suddenly asked casually, as if casually: "You know I wonder what the name of Uncle Mori’s friend is?” (End of Chapter)
