Chapter 31 Tiger Hunting
After receiving the military order to disperse, Wu Nian picked up his luggage, said goodbye to his brothers, and returned to his small courtyard.
The door is closed.
Wu Nian reached out and knocked on the door.
"Dong dong dong."
"Xiang'er. I'm back."
"Brother, you're back." After a while, Wu Nian heard Liu Xiang's joyful call. When the door opened, Liu Xiang's face was full of joy.
Sure enough, she was a sixteen-year-old girl. They hadn't seen each other for a few days. Liu Xiang was much fairer and tenderer again, and she looked completely different from when she first traveled through time.
Wu Nian felt proud in his heart. He smiled and reached out to touch Liu Xiang's head. The touch felt good.
"Well. The Meng Yuan people have gone back, and the danger is over. Baihu ordered us to disband on the spot." Wu Nian said as he walked into the yard.
"God bless you." Liu Xiang was even more delighted, clasping her hands together and bending towards the sky.
The more precious something is, the more it deserves to be cherished. Now Wu Nian is Liu Xiang's treasure. When Wu Nian stays in the military camp, she is frightened every day.
Immediately, Liu Xiang snatched the luggage from Wu Nian's hand and strode back. After Wu Nian sat in the main room for a while, she walked in with water.
"Brother, you drink water and rest. I'll buy some meat."
Liu Xiang put down the bowl and hurriedly went to her room to get money.
"No need for Xiang'er." Wu Nian took Liu Xiang's little hand. Her little hands were as rough as those of an old farmer.
Wu Nian felt pain in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He said proudly, "Now that I'm back, how can I buy meat? I made an appointment with Tieniu and Lao Li. We will go hunting in the mountains tomorrow."
Liu Xiang looked back and smiled: "Isn't that tomorrow? There is nothing delicious at home today. Since you don't want to eat meat, I'll buy you some eggs."
After saying that, Liu Xiang didn't wait for what Wu Nian was saying, hurriedly took the money bag and went out.
"What a good wife." Wu Nian sat on the chair and watched Liu Xiang walk out full of energy, his eyes full of tenderness.
Such a wife is truly a gift from God.
Liu Xiang quickly bought the eggs back.
She and Wu Nian talked for a while about their parents' differences, and then got up to weave, as diligent as a little bee. Wu Nian had nothing to do, so he danced with the big gun in the yard, practiced sword skills, fired bows and arrows, and did unarmed training.
Li Ding had only been dead for a few days, but his body became stronger again. He danced like a tiger with a big gun.
In the evening, Liu Xiang went to wash rice and cook, steaming three eggs and a bowl of pickles.
When waiting for the table to be served, Wu Nian and Liu Xiang sat in the north and south respectively. Liu Xiang peeled the eggs and put them on Wu Nian's rice bowl.
"You want to eat one too." Wu Nian forced one of the eggs into Liu Xiang's mouth, and laughed when he saw her bulging mouth and angry eyes.
Just then.
There was a rapid sound of gongs outside the door.
Liu Xiang quickly covered her mouth with her hands, almost spitting out the eggs.
Wu Nian's eyes narrowed. Could it be that the Meng Yuan people came again? Or were they bandits or bandits? He winked at Liu Xiang, stood up and walked to the gate.
"A tiger appeared on the mountain to the east. The Lord of the Hundred Households has given an order. Whoever can kill the tiger will be rewarded with a hundred guan, and he will personally recommend him as a small flag."
Someone shouted over the sound of the gong.
Wu Nian's ears twitched, and something came into his mind.
This tiger was the first he encountered. At that time, he reported it to Baihu, but then nothing happened. Unexpectedly, Baihu now ordered a heavy reward.
It's also strange.
Wu Nian opened the door and saw the man beating the gong. He looked familiar and seemed to be a slave from Baihu. Wu Nian grabbed this man and after questioning him, he suddenly realized.
It turned out that the son was killed by a tiger. No wonder hundreds of households paid such a heavy reward.
However, there is no need to investigate the reason. This Xiaoqi's position makes him jealous.
Early the next morning, after Wu Nian said goodbye to Liu Xiang, he faced the dim light from the east and headed east out of Beishan Fort. He saw that Li Yong had packed up and was waiting near the city gate.
"Old Li, is it so early?" Wu Nian went up to say hello.
"I'm too old to sleep." Lao Li replied with a smile. After the two brothers said something, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, and Tieniu came one after another.
Wu Nian greeted everyone and went to a remote place to squat down and take stock.
"Brothers, you should all know about the tiger. Are you interested?" Wu Nian raised his head, looked around at everyone, and asked in a deep voice.
Li Yong and others were wondering why Wu Nian asked them to squat down and talk, and they suddenly understood after hearing this.
"Brother, that's a tiger. Although the one-hundred-guan bounty is very coveted, it only requires the life flower." Wang Gui was weak and lacked courage, so he shook his head and said.
"Yes. How many people failed to kill the tiger, but were killed by the tiger instead. This is not a joke." Zhang Sheng also nodded in agreement.
Li Yong and Tieniu looked thoughtful and were not in a hurry to express their opinions.
When Wu Nian saw this, he knew that the two of them were in love, so he kept up his efforts. With a proud look on his face, he said: "Of course there are skills in hunting tigers. Most people get confused when a tiger roars, and eventually die in the tiger's mouth."
"Just hold your ground and use your spear to resist from the front."
"Someone is shooting arrows next to me."
"It's not difficult to kill a tiger."
At this point, Wu Nian's eyes lit up, he glanced at the four of them and said, "We are all soldiers, our lives are hard, and we have no hope. This is an opportunity. If you miss it, you will be useless for the rest of your life."
Tieniu's heart was moved when he heard the words. He immediately clenched his right fist and hit the soil hard, leaving a small crater. A look of determination appeared on his face and he nodded heavily: "Brother is right. I agree with hunting tigers."
.”
Li Yong let out a long sigh and said: "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. The idiot son in my family is over 20 years old and still has no wife. I gave up my old life and went to work with you."
Wu Nian turned to look at Wang Gui and spoke loudly.
I'm afraid there are only three people who can't do this, so we have to add two of them.
"Since the brothers are all here, can I still retreat?" Wang Gui swept away his timidity and nodded with a smile.
"That's right. Let's do it." Zhang Sheng nodded heavily.
"Good brothers." A smile appeared on Wu Nian's face, and he reached out and patted the two of them on the shoulders. Then he said in a deep voice: "Although it is a bit arrogant to talk about splitting the money before the tiger is killed."
"But as the saying goes, brothers will settle the scores."
"Let's make an agreement. If we really hunt a tiger, I only want Xiao Qi's official position, part of the tiger skin, and tiger meat. How about you split the one hundred strings of money equally?"
Having said this, Wu Nian bowed his hands to everyone and said sincerely: "Don't worry, brothers. As long as I become Xiaoqi, I will not treat you badly."
What Wu Nian said was actually a bit rude.
Can a small flag be compared with a hundred coins?
But then again.
This small flag is a trophy that cannot be cut. If the tiger hunt is successful, someone must be the official.
Say it again.
During this period of time, everyone had become very familiar with Wu Nian.
Wu Nian is true to his word, loyal, calm and courageous.
They all admire Wu Nian as a human being.
"Okay." Everyone nodded heavily without any hesitation.
A smile appeared on Wu Nian's face, he stood up energetically, and strode eastward with a big gun in hand.
