108 Longshou Mountain Hunting
108 Longshou Mountain Hunting
Not long after Zhang Yang had breakfast, Cheng Huaimo, Qin Huaiyu and others came to Zhang Yang to find Zhang'an Mansion on Zhuque Street.
Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Huaimo and others had entered the Zhang Mansion and were led by his servants to find Zhang Yang who was preparing for the items needed for the trip. Zhang Yang was commanding Xiao Si to forget the house, such as pastries, dry food, tablecloths, etc.
"Brother Zhang, this is going to hunt, not to go to spring, why are you preparing these things? I didn't think I brought a pair of bows and arrows, a few arrows, and a small bag of salt. Of course, there is also the "Qingcheng" wine brewed by your brother Zhang. I don't need to bring anything else."
Cheng Huaimo saw Zhang Yang delaying command Xiao Si preparing for this and that was very annoying.
Originally, Cheng Huaimu and his friends went to Longshou Mountain outside Chang'an City to hunt for hunting. Every time they went, they only brought some weapons, bows and arrows, fine salt and wine were enough. And they were very rewarding every time they went hunting. Ordinary wild game such as hares and pheasants were inexhaustible and could be used to kill a lot of them every time, and they could also kill deer, small muntjac, pheasants, hedgehogs and other rare animals in later generations. Of course, there was no such thing as the protection method of the Divine Horse Wildlife. As long as you can beat these wild animals, you can kill them. Otherwise, so many hunters in the Tang Dynasty would have to starve to death.
I think it would be like Zhang Yang now, who is more like a spring outing than going out to hunt. Zhang Yang asked Xiao Si to prepare a whole package of things to bring with him!
"You don't understand Huai Mo. Although we are going to hunt, you, Brother Zhang, I am a standard scholar. Although I have all the six rituals, music, shooting, imperialism, books, and numbers of gentlemen, but this Shooting is really just a little involved. If you want to talk about archery, there is definitely no problem with archery, but you need to be proficient in this art. Zhang Gongzhao, shooting eagles, and passing through a hundred steps, you don't have to think about it. Even if I ask me to shoot a fixed target outside twenty steps, I may not be able to hit the red heart. So I'd better bring more things. When the time comes, hunting will mainly depend on yours! I'm just a foil for an outing. (I really want to write about me as a soy sauce here."
Zhang Yang answered after hearing Cheng Huaimo's words.
After saying that, Zhang Yang continued to direct Xiao Si to pack up his things, and ignored Cheng Huaimo, who was swaying on the side, and made Cheng Huaimo's head irritated.
Seeing that Zhang Yang ignored him, Cheng Huaimu walked straight to Xiao Si and snatched the package from Xiao Si's hand and said to Zhang Yang angrily:
"Brother Zhang! You have already loaded so many things, it's hard to bring them in a while. Besides, we are going to hunt. Although you said that your archery skills are not up to standard, aren't we still there? Don't worry, you won't be hungry. It's enough to bring these things. The main thing is to bring more "celebrity" wine. These are all things you can bring, but you don't."
After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Yang to reply, Cheng Huaimu threw the package on his hand to Xiao Si, then grabbed Zhang Yang with the other hand and walked out of the house, looking anxious, looking quite funny.
This made Zhang Yang, who was pulled by him, almost laughed. The reason why Zhang Yang asked Xiao Si to take him here and there when he saw them arrive was partly because Zhang Yang's hunting skills were not up to standard, and he was afraid that he would not catch anything and eat his face when he went there.
On the other hand, he knew that the group of humble people and little drunkards came to his house to ask him to set off because they were targeting his family's "Qingcheng" wine, because they agreed that Chen Shisankun gathered at the intersection of Zhuque Street and set off together. Now that it was just now that Chen Shisankun, the group of people came to his house to call him. How could he not know what their big ideas were?
He knew this would be the case from the last time these little drunkards had drunk his "Qingcheng" wine, so just now, out of bad taste, he wanted to tease them, so he deliberately took care of a lot of things like this.
After Cheng Huaimo pulled Zhang Yang out of the door, he pulled him straight to the small wine cellar where they had gone to get the "Qingcheng" wine last time. Then everyone looked at Zhang Yang with longing eyes, and the purpose was self-evident. He wanted him to open the door and move the wine!
The group of people had agreed before coming. Today, each of them came to bring two jars of wine and took them to Longshou Mountain to hunt and drink after drinking. If they couldn't finish it, they would share it equally, and then take them home and drink it slowly. Sure enough, these people didn't know what their faces were.
Zhang Yang was also depressed by Cheng Huaimu pulling him straight to the door of the small wine cellar. You said that these people didn’t see how smart they were! Besides, my family is not small anymore. This small wine cellar is also in a remote corner of the backyard. This group of people can find this place without rushing to find it! I just came here once, but it was at night. These guys recorded the route thoroughly, and didn’t even go any detour. This person! As long as he had a strong ***, everything could be done!
Seeing that things had come to this point, Zhang Yang had no choice but to open the door of the small wine cellar and wait for them to go in and get the wine themselves.
But what Zhang Yang didn't expect was that each of these people brought two jars of wine, especially Cheng Huaimo, a man who actually bit the rope with his teeth and brought an extra jar of wine. Even more excessively, the group of people said while walking:
"This little wine is enough to drink! It's enough to satisfy your cravings. If I had known there was so much wine in it, I should have brought an assistant in to get it. Alas! By the way, after this trip is finished, let's move again."
Cheng Huaimo, who was biting the wine rope, followed him and nodded straight.
Zhang Yang was already unhappy when he saw this group of bandits getting so much wine. Do you think you can drink so much high-level liquor when you go out for an outing? Brother! This wine is absolutely 60 degrees of liquor! This jar has ten kilograms! In addition, there are only ten talents who went there together. Can you finish it? You are not afraid of alcohol poisoning! You are not afraid of alcohol poisoning! You still don’t think it’s enough and want to move again. Is this a landlord or a local tycoon!
After Zhang Yang found that the group of people had no plans to share the wine, he went in and got a jar of wine, and hurriedly closed the door and followed. He couldn't let them waste these treasures that were about to be used again.
Following Cheng Huaimo and others to the gate of Zhang's mansion, he found that Xiao Si had already led him out on his usual horse and had prepared all the things he wanted.
Zhang Yang hurriedly walked to Xiao Si and gave the jar of wine in his hand to Xiao Si Hou. He took the soft bow that he usually used to shoot arrows on his back, took the dagger for self-defense and a quiver with twenty bows and arrows, and then sat on the horse. After registering the quiver, he asked everyone to set off. He didn't want to stay here, and stayed for a while longer, and the wine would be even more dangerous.
Everyone who wanted to move there saw Zhang Yang getting on the horse and shouting to set off, so they had to give up the idea just now, and put their equipment on and put on the horse and set off. As for the wine and food of course, the servants took them, so you wouldn't want these young men to take it.
In this way, everyone rode their horses out of Zhuque Street, crossed the south gate of Chang'an City and drove towards Longshou Mountain outside Chang'an City.
Cheng Huaimo, Qin Huaiyu and others left Chang'an and entered the plain under the dragon's head, and they were like wild horses that broke away from reins and went crazy.
Riding on horseback, everyone jogged all the way and left the nearest official road and post station of Li Longshou Mountain. At first glance, it was more than 60 miles long, facing the Wei River in the northeast, and the highest place to Fanchuan in the southwest was twenty feet, and the lowest place was five or six feet, which was much higher than Chang'an City at this time. This is Longshou Mountain. It is indeed tall and has beautiful scenery.
Because Longshou Mountain is flat, Zhang Yang and others arrived at the foot of Longshou Mountain in a short while. Zhang Yang, Cheng Huaimo, Qin Huaiyu and others rode horses in front, while Xiao Si and others were still behind and on the way.
Zhang Yang, Cheng Huaimo, Qin Huaiyu and others were stationed in the horse, and when they were about to wait for Xiao Si and others to come, they found a rabbit six or seven feet in front of them. After seeing this, Zhang Yang became happy immediately. It seemed that the first prey I caught was about to appear.
It turns out that Zhang Yang had never come out to hunt before or after the trip. Although he had learned the Six Arts of Gentleman, his shooting was only shot in the martial arts field. This is the first time he went out to hunt today. Before he even started, he met a rabbit who entered like this and asked him to fight. How could he be unhappy?
As soon as he was happy, Zhang Yang immediately took off the soft bow he used to practice on his back, pulled out an arrow from the quiver, put it on the bowstring, and then pulled the soft bow like a full moon and aimed at the head of the hare.
Zhang Yang let go of the bowstring that he was pulling with his right hand, and a "whoosh" sounded, and the arrow shot towards the head of the hare with the sound. Unfortunately, Zhang Yang shot a little bit, and the arrow just rubbed against the head of the hare and flew out into the soil in front of the hare. It seemed that Zhang Yang's archery technique was just a little involved, and he was not proficient. He didn't hit the distance of only six feet.
The hare was so scared that he turned around and ran away immediately, but it was too late. After only two steps, an arrow was pushed through his head and nailed to the ground. The four rabbit legs were kicked a few times and stopped moving. Seeing this situation, Zhang Yang immediately looked at the place where the arrows were shot out, and only Qin Huaiyu was holding a longbow in his hand.
It turned out that Qin Huaiyu had just seen Zhang Yang pick up the bow and arrow and aimed forward. Qin Huaiyu followed Zhang Yang's gaze and found the hare. Thinking of what Zhang Yang said when he was not out of the mansion, he said that his archery skills were not good. So Qin Huaiyu also took off the longbow he brought, took the arrow for a full month, preparing to replenish the arrow. Sure enough, Zhang Yang did not hit the shot. The hare was frightened. When he turned around and ran away, Qin Huaiyu's arrow shot, passed through the hare's head and nailed it to the ground.
Cheng Huaimu, who was watching the show, saw the hare being nailed to the ground, turned over and got off the horse and ran over. He first ran to the hare that was nailed to the soil, grabbed the arrow that was staring at the hare and pulled it up together. Then he turned around and ran to the arrow that Zhang Yang shot out, preparing to pull out the arrow. Who thought that Cheng Huaimu pulled out the arrow without much effort, and then took the hare in one hand and the arrow that Zhang Yang shot out in the other hand and walked back.
