The fat man said the pony catching pheasants in a good way, the content is all bragging, he has never seen the foal catch pheasants, but in order to make everyone believe, he deliberately made it up, in addition, in order to save face, he also boasted about his ability, so that others think that he is also an expert at catching pheasants, in fact, he does not have this ability at all, it is just bragging.

One-eyed looked at the two of them seriously, and asked, "Fatty, are you so powerful?" Can anyone prove it? ”

The cowhide is blown too big, and it is inevitable that some people will not believe it, after all, no one is a fool, and they can hear that the fat man is lying.

The fat man immediately thought of the people under his hands, hurriedly called them over, and said: "Brother Eye, they can all testify for us, they have all seen it with their own eyes, and they have not eaten less pheasant meat, isn't it!" ”

Naturally, everyone didn't dare to talk nonsense, and hurriedly nodded yes, all covering for the fat man, after all, they were under the control of the fat man, and they also wanted to eat pheasant now.

"Is it really that powerful?"

One-Eye seemed a little unconvinced.

A horse thief hurriedly said: "What the fat brother said is a little exaggerated, in fact, it is not so mysterious, but the meaning is always right, and it is almost the same!" ”

Hearing this, One-Eye began to believe it a little, he knew that this dead fat man liked to talk nonsense, in short, he liked to exaggerate things, but with a few guts, he didn't dare to make up stories, he liked to praise the narrative on the basis of facts, and always said very ordinary things very well.

"I'll just say it! How can you be so powerful, you fat man, you always like to add oil and vinegar when you speak, and the cowhide is blown by you. ”

One-eyed smiled and said, "Okay, I'll leave the matter of catching the pheasant to the foal and the fat man, and the rest of the people should hurry up and rest, don't mess around anymore, let's all disperse!" ”

Since everyone said this to One-Eyed, everyone naturally couldn't say anything, and they all went to rest honestly.

"Brother Yan, don't worry, I will definitely be able to catch pheasants, if I can't catch pheasants, I won't come back."

The foal said confidently.

"Nonsense, if you can't catch it, you have to come back, whether you can catch it or not, you must come back within an hour."

"Got it, don't worry! Half an hour is enough. ”

The foal and the fat man looked at each other, and one set off confidently with a set of hunting tools.

They went into the woods, and walked step by step as the pheasant sounded, and it was the big foal who made the sound, and he had already seen the foal and the fat man come out, and he cooed as he walked away to cover the foal and shake off the fat man.

"Fatty, the pheasant has run away again, you must have been exposed again."

The foal spoke.

The fat man touched his forehead and said suspiciously: "Impossible, I've been careful enough, how did I find out again, hey!" ”

"I told you last time, you're too fat, let's find a place to rest! I can catch it alone, and I should have two pheasants when I hear the sound, and when I catch it, I can have a full meal. ”

The foal spoke.

The fat man was very happy, nodded and said, "Okay, I know, I'm resting, you go!" ”

After successfully shaking off the fat man, the foal walked a long way before joining up with the foal.

"Big brother, when will the official army start, can I leave?"

The foal asked excitedly.

The big foal shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's not the time to leave, if you leave, the horse thieves will find out, so let's stay by the side of the horse thieves!" The army has set up an ambush in the Lushui River Valley in Yinzhou, and can capture everyone alive in one fell swoop, if it weren't for this, the army would have started a long time ago, and when you just set off, you can easily do it, and Li Shilang doesn't want to have casualties, and plans to capture all the horse thieves, so it's strange enough to go around in such a big circle. ”

"It's so rare to have such a big official who thinks about the soldiers, it's really lucky to follow the official army, and I will join the official army in the future."

The foal said excitedly.

The big colt was relieved: "Don't worry! As long as you successfully bring the horse thieves into the Lushui River Valley this time, you will be a great achievement, let alone joining the official army, even if you are a captain, there is no problem. ”

"I need to bring the team into the Lushui Valley, what if they don't take this road?"

The foal asked.

"Don't worry! The Lushui River Valley is a necessary place for horse thieves to go to the east of the river, they will definitely go here to pass, in case of a little accident, you can do something, I believe you will have a way, if there is no accident, it is naturally the best, two pheasants are ready, take it back! ”

The big colt spoke.

The foal nodded, and the fresh pheasant was killed with an arrow, and then, quickly ran back, in the cold season, if the pheasant died for too long, it is easy to dry out and harden, in case after going back, the pheasant is frozen hard, then it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others, so it is necessary to walk back quickly, in addition, the foal is not aimed at the vital parts of the pheasant, so, although the pheasant is bleeding, but it cannot die in a short time, maybe after going back, the pheasant still has a breath?

"Fatty, what are you doing? Caught it, two. ”

The foal exclaimed excitedly.

The fat man seemed to have thought of something, his expression was a little displeased, and he said: "Brother Xiaoma, everyone knows about catching pheasants this time, in this way, after the pheasants are taken back, can we still get them?" ”

Obviously, the fat man wants to eat roast pheasant, and once he takes the pheasant back, he will definitely be eaten by many people, and it is a question whether they can get it, let alone how much they can share, so the fat man has a not very mature idea in his heart, he thinks that he can roast one outside to fill his stomach, and then take the remaining one back, which is also a bad deal.

The foal saw through the fat man's mind at once, and said: "Fatty, don't pay attention to the pheasants, what you said when you bragged just now, if you can't send these two pheasants back as soon as possible, where will you put your face in the future, won't you be going to die, don't think about it, go back quickly." ”

After saying that, he didn't care about the fat man, and walked back directly.

"Little Pony, wait for me, I'll go back too."

The fat man has given up, he doesn't have the idea of fighting pheasants.

The two trotted all the way back, and when they returned to their lodgings, the two pheasants were not short-lived, but they were already dying because of excessive blood loss.

After they left, One-Eye felt a little suspicious in his heart, and always felt that something was wrong, but seeing them come back, he was much more relieved all of a sudden.

"Not bad! I came back so soon, and I actually hit two, did one person fight one? ”

One-eyed saw the pheasant and asked.

The foal replied, "Yes, Eye, the fat man and I both aimed at a pheasant and shot them at the same time, otherwise the second one would have run away, haha!" ”

"Very good, I've mentioned it all the way, and I still have a breath, is this chicken blood still warm? In ancient times, Yun Chang Wen Wine slashed Huaxiong, and now there are our little foals and fat men fighting pheasants with warm blood, haha! The two of you quickly killed the pheasant and stewed meat, the leader has not tasted game for a long time, and Lao Tzu is also hungry. ”

One-eyed spoke.

The little foal hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, Brother Eye, I'll go and prepare." ”

The two took the pheasant they had just caught and went to make game.

"What a fat pheasant! Do a good job of dividing me in half. ”

"It's really good, it seems that there are still two males and a female? It's definitely delicious. ”

"I'm going to eat chicken thighs, and chicken wings."

"I'm going to eat chicken stew."

Walking to the cooking area, a group of pony thieves surrounded him, apparently intending to eat pheasant.

"What do you think? What about chicken? There is no chicken butt, this is for Brother Eye and the leader, there is no part of you. ”

The fat man said angrily.

He couldn't eat pheasant meat himself, so he was naturally in a very bad mood, and his tone of voice was naturally heavier.

"Okay, don't hang around, we can't eat a bite, let's go back and rest!"

The foal spoke.

"Can't you eat it, can't you smell it?"

A pony thief said arrogantly.

The fat man glanced at the man and said, "Then it's up to you, we can only smell it." ”

The two of them made pheasants in a good way, three times five divided by two to make two pheasants, they originally planned to eat some offal or something, but there were many pony thieves watching next to them, so they had no chance to do it at all, so they could only be very unwilling to bring the two pheasants to the tent of the leader of the horse thieves.

"Yes, yes, game is different, I haven't eaten game for months, it's all for the officials and soldiers, before the officials and soldiers came, our brothers often ate game."

The leader of the horse thieves and One-Eyed each shared a pheasant, and the one they ate was called a fragrant one, and the fat man who was in charge of delivering the pheasant was about to drool in a hurry.

"Fatty, what are you still doing here, you're tired all day, hurry up and go back and rest!"

One-eyed looked at the fat man suspiciously, and spoke.

"Oh."

The fat man swallowed his saliva and reluctantly left the tent of the leader of the horse thieves.

The horse thieves all worked very hard, but none of them chose to escape, even the fat man and the foal who had the opportunity to go out to hunt pheasants had no intention of leaving, the foal was on a mission, the fat man did not want to run at all, and the rest of the horse thieves also had no intention of escaping.

The reason why these horse thieves are so united that none of them choose to flee is because they are horse thieves who have left the team and really don't know what to do, and another reason is that the horse thief leader firmly controls a large amount of treasure, which is guarded by the horse thieves in turn during the night rest, and each group of guards has at least a dozen horse thieves.

It is said that if more than a dozen horse thieves commit a crime together, they can also steal some treasure and leave quietly, but the key problem is that the dozen or so guards every day are not the same people, and they will be temporarily deployed at any time, so that each horse thief does not know what kind of person the horse thief is guarding with him, will there be the eyeliner of the leader of the horse thieves, in addition, even if a dozen people escape with the treasure together, where can they run to? The risk of doing so is too great.

Horse thieves who are not responsible for guarding the treasure, at night, also have a chance to escape, but after they escape, livelihood will be a big problem, they don't seem to do anything except robbery, and everyone has no legal identification, no one knows what they do, after entering the society, it will really be difficult to move an inch, and stay in the horse thief group, at least they can take care of each other, in addition, the leader of the horse thieves brought so much treasure, enough for them to live a carefree life.

That is to say, the leader of the horse thieves with so much treasure is also a good effect, many horse thieves see that there are so many treasures, naturally they are reluctant to leave, maybe there will be some horse thieves, looking for opportunities to steal some treasures, but everyone is acting together, it is very difficult to find the opportunity to steal treasure, basically it is unlikely to find such a good opportunity.

In short, the horse thieves have their own ghosts, but none of the horse thieves dare to act rashly, the huge treasure is a great temptation, this temptation is a good binding of all the horse thieves together, although the horse thieves complain, but when they think of the superior life that these huge treasures can bring, they immediately calm.

The foal wasn't very familiar with the terrain, and he didn't know what his brother was talking about in the Lushui Valley, or how far it was, but he knew that One-Eye knew everything, so he lay on the couch and didn't rest at all, thinking about how to ask about the Lushui Valley from the side when he went to see One-Eye.

Of course, he must not directly say the name of this place, otherwise he will be very suspicious, and he must tactfully find a reasonable excuse to figure out the next course of action step by step.

Although he had already drawn the road map and handed it to his brother Pony, he had only drawn the gourd, and he did not know where the Lushui Valley was on the map, and he was curious to know where the place was, and how many days it would take them to reach it.

Normally, the foal would not dare to go to One-Eye's quarters and ask questions, but the situation was a little different at this time, he had just captured two fat pheasants and sent them to One-Eye, and it seemed appropriate to ask questions at this time, but he had to find the most suitable reason, one that would not arouse One-Eye's slightest suspicion.

The foal lay on the couch and thought carefully, in fact, it was not a couch, it was a simple bed with a few old clothes spread on a temporary branch, it was not comfortable to sleep on, but at least the cold was not so heavy, if you slept directly on the ground, you would be cold at night, after all, this is in the winter, the ground is still very cool, and it is difficult for people to resist the invasion of coolness.
