The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Chapter 112

This manor was brought by the princess as a dowry after King Changping married the princess.After the princess left, she designated it for Tu Lingguang.First, when he was a dandy in Kyoto, he would invite friends and companions to the village to hunt every now and then. The forest grew bigger and bigger, and the types of prey in the forest became more and more abundant.

One year, in order to make Mr. Tu Er smile, the officials below donated a black bear and raised it in the forest.At that time, Tu Lingguang was hunting with his cousin Le Fu Wang, and three chain arrows shot through the black bear's forehead, killing him immediately.At this time, it was widely circulated among the upper circles in Kyoto, and Tu Lingguang was rewarded by the emperor for it.

The four of them slowly entered the woods, and the atmosphere was not very tense.Du Qi'an was childish, and was new to the affairs in the forest, so he took Lin Mingyu to the front and left to explore the way.Tu Lingguang and Song Wenning followed three or four horses leisurely.

Here is still the edge of the mountain forest, the trees are sparse, and two figures can be seen riding horses and jumping away.

Since the two were acquainted in Fujian, they talked about shipping and Song Wenning's plans in the future.

"...Wen Ning, the Grand Competition is coming, is there any trouble?" Tu Lingguang stared at the figure in front of him, as if he casually asked this topic.

Song Wenning said with a smile: "Please be concerned, everything is fine. A while ago, Mingyu gave me a lot of help, and I also asked Brother Lin's friends to read the articles I wrote, and the crafting is not a serious problem."

"You can think about what to do next? Before I returned to Beijing, Mr. Song mentioned you to me again and again, thinking about you very much. Now the burden of your family's shipping is on his old man's shoulders. I think, He meant to let you go back and take on this burden."

Song Wenning was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Grandpa is too persistent. In fact, there are father and uncles and cousins ​​at home. I have already said it, and it is too early to pass it on to me."

"I'm afraid your second uncle doesn't think like you. According to Song Gong, he is now leading a caravan to sea alone, and his reputation at sea has grown. Song Gong is worried about this."

A bitterness flashed between Song Wenning's brows, he shook his head and sighed.

Tu Lingguang clicked to the end, said a few words, pointed to the front and said: "... If we continue to dawdle like this, these two boys will get lost. Let's follow."

Song Wenning nodded yes, clamped the horse's belly with both feet, and kicked lightly, urging the horse to chase forward.

Tu Lingguang was next to Lin Mingyu's left, and asked with a smile, "Did you see your favorite prey? What did you hunt for?"

Lin Mingyu shook her head, smiled and raised her chin to gesture in Du Qi'an's direction.

Du Qi'an had a bitter face, drooping eyebrows, like a dejected puppy, and said gloomily: "I don't know why, brother Mingyu and I were following the footprints, but we didn't find any prey. Not touching one! At this moment, Su Buzhan must be dying of joy."

This kid remembers grudges, so he doesn't have a good impression of Su Buzhan.

Tu Lingguang said, "What footprints?"

Lin Mingyu pointed to the place where he reined in the horse just now, and said: "Just this one, Qi'an said it must be a big prey, and he chased it all the way. Who would have thought that when we got here, the marks would be scattered, and there are two places, so take it now. Not sure where to go."

Du Qi'an was still squatting among the bushes, looking for one side and said: "Look, the bushes here are all falling to the sides, they must be going here, let's go here and chase. I must catch up with it! Call to add to the night." meal."

Song Wenning had already caught up. Hearing this, he drove his horse to look. He was very interested and had the urge to try.

"Shall we go too?" Lin Mingyu asked.

Tu Lingguang jumped off his horse, walked around, pointed to another place and said, "I think it's more likely to catch it here."

Du Qi'an jumped out of the bushes, ran over here for a look, and shook his head: "No, no, I just chased and ran all the way just now, but I didn't find it. I think it's still in the direction I found."

Tu Lingguang raised his eyebrows.

Lin Mingyu smiled and said, "Either we look for it separately. If we find it, send a signal and then gather in one place, is that feasible?"

Du Qi'an frowned, knowing in his heart that it would not be easy to persuade Tu Lingguang, but he was unwilling to give up because of the result he believed, so he looked at Lin Mingyu with an expectant expression.

Tu Lingguang jumped on the horse's back, leaned over to touch Lin Mingyu's boasted horse's head, and said with a smile, "Just as Mingyu said. Mingyu and I will go this way. Wen Ning, you and Qi'an go over there. Guards I will follow behind you and use signal to contact you if there is anything to do."

As he spoke, he gave instructions to the guards behind him, urged his horse, and ran into the distant dense forest together with Lin Mingyu.

Du Qi'an pouted, and said in a low voice, "How did General Tu snatch my elder brother Mingyu away..."

Song Wenning laughed: "Why, Mr. Du doesn't want to hunt with Song?"

Du Qian hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, Brother Song, don't get me wrong. I first asked Brother Mingyu to teach me how to ride and shoot, and I am going to learn hunting together." He rolled his eyes, looked at Song Wenning with a smile and said; "Brother Song His riding and archery looks extraordinary, why not..."

"Let's go, let's teach you a lesson today."

Lin Mingyu followed behind Tu Lingguang, carefully choosing a path.The footprints on the ground are sometimes scattered and sometimes unclear, but after walking for a while, the same footprints can always be found again.Prove that their direction is not wrong.

Lin Mingyu couldn't help but feel admiration.In fact, according to his original intention, he originally wanted to go there with Du Qi'an, but Tu Lingguang made a decision to let him follow, and he didn't object.

After another stick of incense, the footprints became clearer and the soil on the ground became much moister.Tu Lingguang slowed down his horse, stopped slowly, and said to Lin Mingyu: "There is a stream ahead, and the footprints are getting deeper here. The beast must have gone to the stream to drink water. It was cautious all the way, which shows its cunning. We put The horse is tethered here, take the bow and arrow and go over, so as not to startle it away."

Lin Mingyu instinctively felt that the prey he had been chasing was in front of him, so he became excited.Looking at the footprints, this is definitely not an ordinary small prey. It may be a big wild boar. The biggest prey he has ever hunted is a wild deer he hunted on Dongshan Mountain last year.It was the first time to hunt wild boars, and the blood was unavoidable.

He quickly got off his horse, put a bow and quiver on his back, and stuck a dagger in the tuck of his boot. It was a birthday present from Tu Lingguang. Because of the simple decoration and the sharp edge, he loved it very much and often played with it, so he was reluctant to use it.This time hunting was invited by Tu Lingguang, so he took it with him.

Pushing aside the bushes blocking the way, the two of them moved forward carefully one after the other.

The wind blew through the leaves, making a thin and crackling sound, which well covered up the sound of the two of them.

After walking for four or five miles, the front suddenly opened up.Behind the lush shrubs, there is a relatively flat ground.The branches of several ancient trees are thick and straight to the sky.The field of view widened, but the light became dim.

The eyes of the two people fell in the same direction.By the stream less than [-] meters in front of them, a huge black bear rubbed its back against a big tree.Its strength is so great that the thick branches of the ancient tree that the two of them embrace seem to shake along with it, and the rustling sound of the rubbing reaches the ears, which is even more indescribably terrifying.

Lin Mingyu couldn't help but gasped, and held his breath to look at Tu Lingguang.

Tu Lingguang, who was in front of him first, had retreated at some point, squatting beside him, staring intently at the black bear in front of him, with some doubts in his brows.

Xu Shi noticed Lin Mingyu's gaze, he turned his head sideways, turned his dark eyes, and stared at Lin Mingyu's eyes.

For a moment, the eyes of the two sides met.Lin Mingyu suddenly felt a shock in his heart.His gaze was so focused, with a kind of coldness in deep thought, it fell directly on his heart.Lin Mingyu had never seen such a serious expression on his face, and she unconsciously became serious.

"Brother Tu, what should we do?" Lin Mingyu blinked, put his mouth close to his ear and asked.

This black bear is so strong and looks very manic, obviously it is difficult to deal with.The two of them were dressed lightly, and they brought bows and arrows. The forest was so dense that even black bears appeared, and it was unknown if there were other beasts. From this point of view, the hunt this time was not as easy as it used to be.

Tu Lingguang's ears trembled slightly, but Lin Mingyu was only worried about the situation of the others and didn't notice it.

He turned his gaze back, waiting for Tu Lingguang to make a decision.

Tu Lingguang's eyes followed his movements and fell on his bright red slightly parted lips. He felt strangely that his throat was a little itchy and his lips were a little dry, and he couldn't help but cough subconsciously.

It happened that Lin Mingyu was paying attention to him, seeing his actions, she was so frightened that she gasped for breath, without thinking, she reached out her hands to cover his nose and mouth.

With warm palms covering his face full of youthful elasticity and warmth, Lin Mingyu's heart felt numb, and a strange emotion surged up.He looked at Tu Lingguang's eyes that widened for a moment, slowly withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and lowered his head.

The atmosphere fell silent.

Tu Lingguang came back to his senses, a smile curled up on the corner of his mouth, he leaned over, like Lin Mingyu just now, and gently breathed into his ear: "Look at the situation again, there seems to be something wrong with this black bear."

Lin Mingyu was startled by his movement, warm breath was blown into the sensitive ear with the movement of his lips, a burst of numbness spread along the ear and into the internal organs, he couldn't help shrinking his neck, turning his head away Subconsciously dodge.

But he didn't want to do this. Because of the influence of Tu Lingguang's body leaning over at some point, his own squatting posture was already extremely awkward. With this movement, he lost his balance and fell to the side uncontrollably.

"Mingyu." Tu Lingguang yelled softly, and with his long arm, picked him up firmly in his arms.

The two of them were still in shock, and before they had time to slowly appreciate the momentary ambiguity, they only heard the sound in front of them suddenly quiet down, followed by another burst of heavy breathing, faintly filled with anger.The black bear turned around, and its two black hole-like eyes shot sharply towards the direction where they were hiding.

"No, Mingyu, prepare your bow and arrow!"

Tu Lingguang stopped drinking, pushed Lin Mingyu behind a tree, jumped up by himself, and ran to another big tree, drawing arrows with his bow while running.Although this series of movements was hasty, he was not in a panic. His two ends were extremely steady, and when the arrow shot out, he knew that the arrow had missed.Without looking at it, the backhand is two feathered arrows, which shoot out in succession.

Although the black bear was born bulky, its body was exceptionally flexible.And it seems that the IQ is not low. When the arrow is shot, it will not hit it head-on, and will use the trunk to cover it.

Its speed is not slow, even if there are protruding stones and bushes blocking the way, it will crush it as if there is nothing.The shrubs on the ground were swept up in a mess by its tyrannical limbs.

Taking advantage of Tu Lingguang's attention, Lin Mingyu had already stood still behind the tree, pulled the bow away, rested the arrow on the bowstring, buckled slightly inward, aimed at one of the black bear's eyes, and put the arrow body firmly, then exerted force with his wrist, Fingers snapped.A black light and shadow that was faster than the wind flashed, hitting the target.

The black bear let out a miserable scream, and then slapped the surrounding tree trunks angrily, and the bark debris flew up.With an extremely stern look on Tu Lingguang's face, he ran towards Lin Mingyu.

"Mingyu be careful, this beast is coming towards you. Don't shoot arrows, leave it to me."

While speaking, the black bear has accelerated its speed and chased here. It seemed to hate Lin Mingyu to the extreme. Thick blood flowed out from the eye socket where it was missing one eye, staining its angry fangs.While roaring, it rushed toward Lin Mingyu like a moving hill.

Tu Lingguang roared and shot arrows behind it.Although the black bear was still dodging, after all, Tu Lingguang's archery skills were not in vain. Two of them hit his buttocks, leaving a piece of bloody skin, and the other one grazed his thick waist, leaving a sharp wound.

The black bear suddenly became furious.Two paws hugged a tree as thick as a bucket, and slapped it hard, breaking the tree trunk, and the broken branch swept towards Lin Mingyu's body, almost hitting him.

Fortunately, since Lin Mingyu passed through, he has been paying attention to strengthening his body. Apart from horseback riding and shooting, he also does not forget to play fists and kicks. At this moment, his body reacted before his consciousness, and he leaped forward vigorously, dodging The crisis of falling tree trunks.

While running, the two sides switched directions unknowingly, and when the two of them realized something was wrong, Lin Mingyu had already been forced to the side of the stream.

At this time, the black bear was already covered in wounds from the bows and arrows of the two men, but it didn't seem to be afraid. The more injured it was, the more ferocious it became, which made Tu Lin and the two couldn't help showing a little respect.

Of course, this respect is just admiration for its bravery, and it is fleeting. At this moment, it is bound to fight to the death.

Lin Mingyu's arms and face were covered by tree branches, and Tu Lingguang was also in the same embarrassment. The two of them were standing together at this time, and the signal on their bodies had been lost at some point. To the two wild boars that rushed out by mistake.

Seeing the black bear panting heavily, he pounced on him again.Tu Lingguang grabbed the last two arrows in Lin Mingyu's quiver and aimed at the belly of the black bear.After such a long struggle, the two of them already knew that the belly is the black bear's shortcoming, only the bow and arrow aimed at it takes care of it, and its operation is not so flexible, as if it has been injured.

Tu Lingguang stopped drinking, attracting the black bear to raise its body, then let go of the bow and arrow in his hand, lowered his head, and shot straight at its exposed abdomen.

The black bear was furious, but it was already standing upright and rushing forward in the air, there was no way to avoid it, the two arrows separated the fur and pierced straight into the flesh.The black bear let out a miserable howl again, but at the last moment, it became fierce and threw itself in the direction of the two people, raising its paws high at the same time...

Lin Mingyu could only feel the blood spilling down his head and face, his breath was full of a thick fishy smell, and then his body was violently hit, his whole body flew up, and fell into the water hard, he was firmly protected by a pair of arms , with the familiar temperature, fell into the cold stream together.

On the shore, there was left a huge black bear covered in arrow wounds from the chest to the abdomen, which was cut open by a sharp knife. The simple and simple dagger was shining with a dull luster, and it was deeply embedded in its body...

When Lin Mingyu woke up, the lower half of her body was cold.He raised his head and looked around, and found that half of his body was still lying in the stream, so he hurriedly crawled to the bank.Tu Lingguang was lying beside him, lifeless.

His heart trembled violently, and he quickly crawled over, leaning on his chest to listen to his heartbeat, fortunately, his heart was hot.Just passed out.At this time, he found that there was something wrong with his chest, and rubbing it carefully, it turned out that two ribs were broken.

Lin Mingyu recalled the moment before he fell into the water, Tu Lingguang snatched the dagger from his hand, and slashed it off fiercely. Blood sprayed out from inside the cut bear skin, showering their heads and faces.

However, the black bear's huge body still bumped into it. Tu Lingguang hugged him and tried his best to dodge, but he was still brushed and hit the water.

He was protected in front of his chest, and he felt the impact was heavy, and his chest hurt. One could imagine how Tu Lingguang, who was directly facing the black bear, would be hit.

Fortunately, both of them are still alive.

Now washed downstream by the stream, I don't know how far away from the place where I fought the black bear, but there is no smell of blood in the water anymore.The blood on the faces of the two people was also scrubbed clean.The sky is getting dark, it should be evening, other people should have noticed that the two of them are missing, and they will definitely come to find them.Maybe, I've started looking for it now.

His task now is to take the two of them away from the water to a safer place.Dry your clothes so you don't get caught in the wind.Although Tu Lingguang's condition is not in a life-threatening situation, if he suffers from the wind and cold, the result will be difficult to say.

Lin Mingyu found a suitable branch, and first restored Tu Lingguang's broken ribs - he had never done this before, he had only seen it in medical skills, so he didn't know if it was right.But now I can't control so much.The waterside at night is definitely not a safe place to live. The weapons in their hands have also lost, and they are almost powerless to resist. In case they encounter one or two wild boars...

Lin Mingyu resolutely fixed Tu Lingguang's ribs with a belt and branches, and then carefully moved him to the woods farther from the shore.Make a slightly empty space, and then pick up dry firewood.

There is a fire bag in the purse, which has been soaked in the stream water, so I don't know if it can be used.Lin Mingyu took out her own and tried it, but it really didn't work.Sighing in disappointment, he dug out Tu Lingguang's purse again.
