I don't want to return

As expected, Mu Chongyu did what he said. When counting the spoils that day, except for the swords and weapons, the remaining gold, silver and treasures and the hundred carts of food and grass immediately ordered Shen Qing and others to decorate the road, and headed south along Heiyun Mountain , Seeing poor village families, orphans, widows, old people and young children, all of them were handed out, and there was no stinginess to keep them privately.

Later, the people along the way came to ask questions, and they couldn't believe that there was such a good thing in the world.

Seeing this situation, Shen Qing simply summoned the patriarchs of the nearby villages within a hundred miles, gathered some villagers to notarize, and sent dozens of carts of grain, grass, gold and silver to these villages face to face, and entrusted the patriarchs to distribute them in a safe manner according to the wealth of each family. these food items.After the arrangements were made, Fang took the remaining dozens of carts of food, grass and property and continued southward, repeating this cycle until all were distributed.

They met many refugees along the way, they got the silver gifted by Shen Qing and his party, they were very grateful immediately, and thought that they were really homeless, so they wanted to follow Shen Qing.Shen Qing couldn't help it, thinking that Heiyun Mountain was also going through a difficult time at this time, and raising one more person would be an extra burden, but then thinking of that person's eyes always full of worry, he hesitated for a while, and finally nodded in agreement .

In this way, when they went out, the car was full of wealth and food, and they were full of spirits. When they came back, the car was empty, but there was a string of tails following them back.

Of course Mu Chongyu didn't care about this, he didn't regard them as a burden, instead he told them to rest well, and then follow Shen Qing to get things done.

There is only one major issue to be solved in this season, and that is the livelihood of more than 1000 people in Yingtou Village (including the captives captured in the last battle of Hukouling).

The grain in the granary has bottomed out, and it can last for another ten days and a half months at most. If this continues, they will have no food to eat before the next spring sowing.

Mu Chongyu was lying when he said that he was not worried.However, even if the situation is imminent, he will never allow himself to embezzle the food of ordinary civilians.

If there is not enough food, then save it; if there is no food, then think of another way.

The end of the year is approaching, and Heiyun Mountain is getting colder and colder.Days of heavy snow fell, and the whole mountain was covered under heavy snow.

On this day, the weather finally cleared up, so Chen Kangsi led Shen Qing and the others, together with more than 100 people, wrapped in animal skins and carrying arrows, to hunt in the mountains and forests.

There is not enough food, and if you want to barely eat, you have to hunt.

In fact, before Mu Chongyu's arrival, everyone in Yingtou Village was often hungry.After all, at that time, they managed to occupy the top of the mountain and become kings on their own, so how could they be willing to do the coolies of farming and planting by themselves?Moreover, although these bandits live by robbing nearby people and wealthy businessmen, good things don’t happen every day, and the pies don’t drop every day. Go hungry.In this way, after a long time, they had to develop their hunting skills.

The situation forced people to think of a way. Fortunately, in the area of ​​Heiyun Mountain, there was always plenty of rain, lush vegetation, and naturally more wild animals. Chen Kangsi and the others were able to harvest a lot of prey from time to time.

Right now, it is snowy and frozen for thousands of miles, which is a good time for hunting.

People like Chen Kangsi and Shen Qing, who are used to living on horseback, are easygoing about hunting. They each set out with dozens of people, but they didn't expect that Mu Chongyu would also follow.

"The third master has been weaker since he started fighting, and he can't withstand the severe cold, let alone in Beiyu... he was frightened in the cold place in the north, and he couldn't see the snow. Why bother to follow us to do the rough work of drawing bows and archery?" Shen Qing blocked Mu Chongyu's way, frowning and looking at him disapprovingly.

Mu Chongyu squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "General Shen sees me too weakly. Has the general forgotten that in the horse hunting field, my archery skills even gave way to General Shen by three points?"

When he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows, and a smile flowed in his dark and black eyes, but the confidence and arrogance between his brows could not be questioned by others, which made people unable to move their eyes away.

Shen Qing was dazed for a moment, he blinked, his consciousness came back, and he wanted to persuade him again, but Mu Chongyu had already put on his cloak, took the bow and arrow, pushed Shen Qing away, and stepped out the door in two or three steps , led the horse to go.

Shen Qing shook his head and smiled wryly. There was something else hidden about the riding and archery competition in the horse hunting field back then - when he first saw the majesty of the emperor, he only felt that Mu Chongyu's whole body was radiant. Like ants, they dare not raise their heads, and are in a trance, how can they have the intention to seriously compete?

But in retrospect, His Majesty did have a bit of kung fu, so that he would not be so weak.

Thinking so, Shen Qing saw that Mu Chongyu had gone a long way, so he had to catch up quickly, but secretly said in his heart that he must protect Mu Chongyu.

The mountain road was difficult, and there was also a strong cold wind. Although everyone was dressed thickly, they still felt a little strenuous.

Shen Qing tightened her grip on the horse's belly and rushed forward, but she saw that Mu Chongyu's cheeks were blushing from the cold, but her lips were pale, and her brows were furrowed. It was obvious that she was no match for the severe cold. Mu Chongyu took the lead and said, "Don't try to persuade me. Since I have vowed to be self-reliant and overcome difficulties with everyone with my own strength, how can I sit back and enjoy the benefits for nothing? Since I have scattered everyone's food, I will also take care of myself. It is up to me to take the lead, set an example, and go to the hunting ground in person, so that I can convince everyone."

After saying that, without looking at Shen Qing, he raised his hand and flicked his whip, and then chased a brown fox away.Shen Qing couldn't help it, when he was about to drive his horse to catch up, he saw Mu Chongyu raised his whip back, which meant to stop him from going forward, so he had no choice but to rein in his horse and go back with his head mournful.

Chen Kangsi and the others at the side saw this scene in their eyes, but they were somewhat disapproving in their hearts.

It seems that Mu Chongyu is like a young master who is weak and pampered, let alone hunting prey, even if he is allowed to stay in the snow for an hour and a half, I think it is enough!Just wait and see, it won't be long before he can't take it anymore and will go back home.

Quite a few of Chen Kang's subordinates were so slanderous, secretly waiting to see a joke—beauties, it's okay to sit in a high pavilion to give ideas and talk big, but if you really put on a bow and arrow, it's so heavy... Don't you want to break the beauty's wrist hahahaha.

However, within half an incense stick, these people were all stunned.There was only a slight whistling sound of wind and arrows coming from the woods ahead, followed by a melodious and mournful thin neighing sound, like a wild animal screaming. The next moment, Mu Chongyu was holding the brown The fox came all the way on horseback, stopped in front of everyone, raised his hand, and put the brown fox firmly into the sack hanging in front of Shen Qing's horse.

The mouth of the sack was open, so everyone could see clearly that two arrows were firmly inserted into the brown fox's back.

Mu Chongyu raised his eyebrows: "What are you all doing standing here? If you don't act quickly, the wild beasts will run away. Where will there be prey?"

Chen Kang and the others couldn't answer for a while, they just looked at Mu Chongyu blankly, not knowing what to say.

Wild foxes are cunning, even if they have to go through a lot of experience to catch them, the young man seems to be effortless...

Shen Qing said helplessly: "Third Master, let me send a few more people to protect you, there are many ferocious beasts in the forest..."

"No need." Mu Chongyu categorically refused, then looked at Chen Kang and said, "Fourth brother Kang, please take 30 people with me to this mountain forest, just now I saw a large swamp in the forest , It seems that many wild animals have been drowned, or they can be salvaged."

Then he turned to Shen Qing: "Master Shen, please take another 30 people and go in the direction pointed out by Brother Kang."

"Teacher Lu has a lot of experience in fishing methods, so you can take the rest of the people to the mountain stream to dig ice and ask for carp." After Mu Chongyu gave the order, he raised his eyes to look at the sky, and said: "Sunset We met at Yazuijian before."

Yazui Stream is a hidden mountain stream leading to Yingtou Village. The location is hard to find, but it is easy for people to pass through. It is the best entrance.

After finishing speaking, Mu Chongyu didn't talk nonsense, he took the lead in whipping his horse and going to the mountain forest alone.

This time Chen Kangsi reacted quickly, he waved his hand backwards, and led the people to chase the slender and plain figure away in a hurry.Only the rest of the people stood there for a while, recalling Mu Chongyu's embarrassing face from the cold in his mind, but it was a firm and calm expression, and they parted ways after a while.

At dusk, the last ray of light of the setting sun gradually disappears, and the cold face of severe winter is exposed more unscrupulously.Mu Chongyu already felt that the blood in his whole body was about to freeze.

□□The skin on the outside was cut by the cold wind, and there seemed to be a ghastly chill running back and forth in his mind, making his whole body miserable.The pain, humiliation and regret of being captured to Beiyu in the cold winter months seemed like dark clouds, entangled again without any accident.

Mu Chongyu took a deep breath of the cold air, closed his eyes, tightened the reins with his fingers, stopped the horse, and said slowly: "Just wait here."

Chen Kangsi answered "yes" in a low voice, stopped his horse obediently, and obediently waited aside.

The same is true of his 30 subordinates, each of whom is obedient and has no objection to Mu Chongyu's order.

Not for anything else, but for the whole several cartloads of prey.

Although young people are not so powerful, they can shoot tigers and long snakes with their own strength, but it really impresses them.

The swamp in the forest is full of filth, and even antelopes will accidentally get stuck in it, and they only dare to look at it from a distance and dare not go deep.It took a lot of effort for several people to twist the whip together to make a noose, and then they pulled out two or three antelopes and wild deer together.

It is not impossible to go deep into the swamp. Pull out the bottom plate of the trolley that is driving with the team and step on it, and you can barely slip through the swamp. However, everyone feels that it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is too risky. Suddenly, no one was willing to take the initiative to stand out and go deep into the swamp.

Unexpectedly, Mu Chongyu, who seemed the most gentle and weak, and the least need to do anything personally, stood up.

The young man's complexion was obviously very bad, but without the slightest hesitation, he took off the cloak tied on his chest, and holding a whip with a rope in his hand, he jumped forward lightly, moving forward alone, as lightly as a swan goose.

Even though his movement of salvaging prey does not seem to be as skilled as riding and shooting.But it was precisely because of Mu Chongyu's actions that they finally reaped a rich prey together.

The same is true in subsequent hunts.

This young man probably really wants to advance and retreat with them and the people he loves.
