Chapter 198 There Must Be a War
"Scary? Not at all. I'm just lucky I didn't starve to death."
Ana Luo laughed as he spoke:
"What were you thinking about when you asked these questions?"
"You are a barbarian. You haven't read Dayu's book. You don't understand the story of Huangdi's encounter with Chiyou."
Su Zhizhi was serious, showing for the first time the advantage of her education.
Analo picked his nose:
"Ah, right, right, I'm a barbarian, I haven't read it. If you have read it, then tell me."
Su Zhizhi talked about what happened after Huangdi fought Chiyou.
Ana Luo listened with great interest.
Una didn't mention these things when he taught him Dayu knowledge.
Ana Luo has his own opinion:
"If that's the case, Chi You must have been a very formidable opponent, highly regarded by the Yellow Emperor."
Su Zhizhi: “Ah?”
"There are so many dead bodies on the battlefield that are left unattended and no one even gives them a second glance. But the Yellow Emperor made so many copies of Chiyou's body, which must have taken a lot of thought and effort."
Anaro slapped a mosquito that landed on his face.
"Isn't it a sign of respect to spend so much energy on someone who's already dead? If I died at the hands of the enemy, I'd be happy if they treated me like this."
Su Zhizhi blinked and sighed, "You are suitable to go to the Valley of Divine Doctors."
On the third day, Su Zhizhi came again.
Ana Luo lay on the ground, his back warmed by the sun. He closed his eyes and asked:
"Ask, ask, what did you think of today?"
Su Zhizhi gestured with her hands:
"Are there many earth dragons in your Mipo place?"
Ana Luo opened one eye and raised his voice:
"What?"
"Earth dragon," Su Zhizhi described. "I've never seen one, but I've heard people say Mi Po has one. Earth dragons are very large and long, and can hide in the water or crawl on the shore. Their eyes and nostrils are on top of their heads, which is amazing."
Ana Luo sat up and said, "We call the one you're talking about a crocodile."
Su Zhizhi threw a small white stone in: "Can you draw it? Does it have legs? Does it have fins?"
Ana Luo took a stone and drew a light white line on the ground:
"It has legs, but they're so short. It has a long tail, half of its body is the tail, and it has lots of green scales... Look, it looks like this."
The sunlight shines on the ground, and white lines outline the shape of a crocodile.
Its mouth opened wide, revealing its sharp teeth, and its tail was as big as a paddle.
Su Zhizhi: "Will it bite people?"
"I could swallow you in one bite." Anaro pointed at the painting on the ground. "When I was your age, I killed a crocodile."
He was bragging a bit.
In fact, he didn't kill him alone, but was surrounded by several people.
His father took him hunting and taught him how to force a crocodile into a corner and how to stab the crocodile with a sharp harpoon when the crocodile was unresponsive.
Anaro was very scared at first, but his father kept holding his hand and told him that he would not be afraid after killing once.
Anaro thrust the harpoon forward, watching as the tip of the harpoon pierced through the armor...
Outside the window, Su Zhizhi propped up her chin:
"Won't it bite you?"
"Yes, it bit a piece of flesh on my leg." Ana Luo pointed to a scar on his calf.
There was indeed a large scar on the dark calf.
Su Zhizhi: "It hurts to be bitten, right?"
Ana Luo said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I don't remember."
Su Zhizhi said, "You're lying. You'll definitely not forget it after biting off such a big piece."
Ana Luo snorted, "You don't understand."
After he hunted the crocodile, his father carried him back to the palace.
To commend his courage, his father made him a dagger:
"The Snake God Mijia will give you courage. Don't be afraid at any time."
There was a seven-headed snake carved on the dagger, and he thought his father's carving was very ugly.
It's so ugly that I'm embarrassed to use it.
But then, somehow, the more I looked at it, the better it seemed.
The sun rose higher and higher, and the sunlight was too strong. Ana Luo's eyes suddenly felt a little sore.
It's swollen, a little red, and a little painful.
He threw the stone in his hand, turned his back to Su Zhizhi and asked:
"Hey, you took my dagger, when will you give it back to me?"
Su Zhizhi was still staring at the crocodile on the ground:
"What do you want to do?"
Ana Luo's voice was muffled:
"Nothing, it's for picking my teeth. I feel uncomfortable without it."
Su Zhizhi: "You are a prisoner, and the villagers will definitely take your weapons. If you really want them, they will be returned to you when you leave."
Anaro: "Oh."
"I'm leaving."
"oh."
…
Una kept his word and led his troops southward within seven days, leaving Xunzhou.
As soon as the army left Xunzhou, Una came to pick up Ana Luo in person with a dozen people.
Ever since Anaro was captured, Una had trouble sleeping at night.
My heart, which was already unable to calm down, was now completely hanging in the air.
Una watched Anaro grow up, and in addition to the relationship between a king and his subject, he also had some concern like that of an older brother.
"We have already withdrawn from Xunzhou. You should return our Majesty."
Una and his group arrived at the foot of a small mound outside the canyon.
On top of the small mound, Governor Gu, County Magistrate Song, Hao Ren, Wu Yingniang, Qin Xiao, Wei Dashuan and many other villagers from the Liangmin Village had all arrived.
Governor Gu and Hao Ren nodded.
Wu Yingniang, holding a spear, turned around and shouted:
"You can bring people here."
Soon, several villagers brought Ana Luo.
Ana Luo's hands were tied behind his back with ropes, and he walked slowly.
If you don't look carefully from a distance, you might think it's an old man being helped by someone for a walk after dinner.
The villagers brought Ana Luo up to the small mound and pushed him forward:
"Go!"
Anaro staggered down the slope, and Una hurried forward to catch him.
"Your Majesty!" Una checked the injuries on Anaro's body.
After looking around, I found that apart from the injuries from the previous battle, there were no new scars on his body.
And Ana Luo's face looked rosy, and he seemed to have gained a little weight.
The rope on Ana Luo's hand was loosened, and he patted Una:
"Uuna, don't look so sad. I'm fine. The food here is better than what we make in the barracks."
Anaro looked fine, but his legs were still weak and he almost fell into Una's arms.
Una's face fell again: "What happened to your Majesty's leg?"
The villagers of Liangmin Village said: "Give him some medicine, he will be fine in two days."
Ana Luo was helped onto the horse and looked back at Wu Yingniang:
"Ah, you are so beautiful and good at fighting. It's a pity for you to stay in this valley. Why don't you come back to Mipo with me and be my queen?"
Una: "...Your Majesty?"
Hao Ren's calm face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
The villagers standing on the hill laughed out loud:
"You may not have all your hair growing out yet, but you have a pretty bold mind!"
"The queen... kowtow and acknowledge her as your mother is more like it."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Wu Yingniang didn't laugh, she said coldly: "You are far inferior to my husband."
Hao Ren's expression turned from gloomy to bright again:
"The imperial army has arrived and will reach Xunzhou in a few days. If you want to die, you can stay."
Ana Luo snorted.
He turned his horse around and left.
The horse's hooves swung for two steps before stopping again.
Analo turned around:
"You have taken my dagger and have not returned it."
"Your dagger is here--" Su Zhizhi ran up from behind the hill, panting.
She held a small cloth bag in her hand and threw it towards Ana Luo:
"Give it back to you!"
Una took the cloth bag, opened it, and saw a small dagger that reflected the sunlight.
It was indeed the one that Ana Luo usually carried with him.
There is also a worn pattern of a seven-headed snake on the handle.
Anaro took the dagger, wiped it on his waist, and grinned.
The sharp canine teeth added a bit of wildness to his smile:
"Hey kid!"
Su Zhizhi: "My name is not Xiaogui, my name is Su Zhizhi!"
"Squeaky little devil! Come on, Mipo, I'll take you to see the crocodiles!"
Ana Luo put the dagger close to his body, waved vigorously at Su Zhizhi, and rode away on his horse.
This time they really left. They rode their horses and galloped away, raising a cloud of dust.
Xue Che asked Su Zhizhi in confusion: "What is a crocodile?"
Su Zhizhi rolled her eyes and said mysteriously, "I'll draw it for you when I get back."
