Chapter 36 Yanggu County Helps
Wu Song was puzzled. His own flag was flying in the wind, and he would not enter the city with weapons without a stroll.
Immediately clasped my fists and said, "I don't know if you ask me if there is something wrong."
The two officials said, "I dare to ask if it's Wu Song and Wu Erlang?"
"That's right." Wu Song said.
"It's not that I'm waiting to stop you, but I just stopped you after listening to the orders of the county magistrate Su." The two door officials explained.
"Oh, I don't know what Lord Su calls me?" Wu Song asked.
The sect official took out a painting, which was the scene of Wu Song beating a tiger in the black pine forest. Wu Song held the tiger and beat it with his fist. There were two dogs behind him. As for Zhang Ergou, Luo Ping and others did not appear.
"Mr. Su just gave this painting and said that when he saw Wu Song, he asked him to go to the county government for important matters. I really don't know what the specific matter is."
Wu Song said: "Okay, I've been rushing for dozens of miles, and I'm so busy that I can go to the inn to change my clothes."
Wu Song went to the big car shop to change his clothes, put down the long swords, short swords, and then followed a yamen runner to the mansion of the county magistrate Su.
It was just dark, and the county magistrate Su had not yet rested. The yamen runner brought Wu Song into the living room. Before the county magistrate arrived, Wu Song looked up and saw a painting hanging on the wall, which was painted with a group of people riding horses to shoot tigers. The painting style was full of elegance. It was made by everyone, with words written next to it, dragon, phoenix, and phoenix dance, but Wu Song still recognized it.
"I'm talking about a young man who is crazy, holding yellow on the left, holding blue on the right, holding a brocade hat and sable fur, and rolling a thousand horsemen. In order to repay the beautiful city, he followed the prefect, shot the tiger in person and looked at Sun Lang.
After drinking, my chest and guts are still open. My hair is slightly frosty, so what's wrong! When will Feng Tang be sent to the clouds? I can hold the carved bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot the sky wolf." Wu Song couldn't help but read.
"Okay, what a look northwest, shoot the Tianlang." The county magistrate came out. The county magistrate was very young. He was only 27 or 28 years old. He had a white-faced national character with a righteous face, and had a short beard on his mouth. He said while walking, "It is rumored that Wu Erlang is a reckless man who eats alcohol and fights. He didn't expect to know the words."
Wu Song blushed. The county magistrate spoke too directly, but it was hard to say anything. After all, Wu Song used to be like this.
"The county magistrate made fun of it. Wu Song was a rough man. I liked this poem by Lord Su Dongpo very much, so I can memorize it." Wu Song said.
The county magistrate was surprised and said, "Where Erlang likes this poem?"
"The artistic conception, the first half of the article describes momentum, thousands of troops swept out, and the second half of the article describes ambition, pacifying the frontier and defending the country. Lord Su Dongpo can be said to be a versatile talent in civil and military affairs, and a great literary master of his generation." Wu Song said.
County Magistrate Su's face was filled with joy and said with a smile: "Erlang is so knowledgeable, so knowledgeable. Lord Su is my father."
"False respect and disrespect." Wu Song was somewhat surprised. Unexpectedly, County Magistrate Su was actually Su Dongpo's son. Su Dongpo was one of the eight famous masters of the Tang and Song dynasties. The Su family was even more awesome. There were three scholars in each school, and their disciples and former officials were spread all over the country.
The magistrate of County Su said: "I am very pleased to hear that Erlang wiped out the man-eating tiger in the black pine forest. However, there is still a man-eating tiger on Jingyanggang, Yanggu County. The tiger has eaten no less than 40 people. The infantry in our county has died heroically to capture this tiger. For a while, I am helpless. I hope Erlang can lend a helping hand to help our county wipe out the man-eating tiger on Jingyanggang."
"That's it." Wu Song said, "The tiger's sharp teeth and claws are beyond comparison. Although Wu Song has some martial arts skills, he has no weapon. If he uses short weapons to fight the tiger, it will be too dangerous."
Lord Su was speechless. Wu Song was right. Who would risk his life to fight with the tiger? Even if Wu Song was righteous, Yuntian would not be so stupid that the county magistrate fought with the tiger with one word.
County Magistrate Su said: "Erlang thought that if he captured this tiger, what weapon should he use to capture it?"
Wu Song said: "My car shop is equipped with a hunting bow, but the tiger was almost injured when he hunted the black pine forest last time. Now he is sweating in a cold sweat. The leader of the hundreds of soldiers' bows. If he gets a strong bow, Wu Song is willing to share the worries of the county magistrate and get rid of this beast."
County Magistrate Su laughed: "Haha, what's the difficult thing for me? It turns out to be a strong bow."
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked his servants to get the bow. Yanggu County's arsenal still had strong bows. Wu Song chose a strong bow and equipped it with twenty wolf-toothed arrows.
Wu Song said: "Since this is the case, Wu Song will go into the mountain to hunt tigers tomorrow morning."
The magistrate of Su County thanked Wu Song, but Wu Song did not stay back to the inn for a long time to rest.
In the inn, Li Kui stared at Niu Ou’s eyes and looked at Wu Song’s strong bow and said, “Brother, please, come back with a strong bow when you go out. This is a good thing.”
Wu Song said: "This is not for nothing. I will hunt tigers for the county magistrate to go to Jingyanggang tomorrow morning. You and Wu Zhuang lead the convoy on the main road and head to Jeju Prefecture first. I will hunt tigers and chase after you."
When Li Kui was displeased, he became angry and muttered, "No, I want to go and fight big cats with you too. How can I miss such a fun thing?"
Wu Song said with a stern face: "Tiger wants to eat people, not just jokes. You can't go, but you have to obey my arrangements, otherwise you can go to Jeju Prefecture with the big car dealer."
"I'll go and fight big cats with my brother, I'll be obedient." Li Kui said.
Wu Song sighed, "Okay, tomorrow morning, I, Li Kui and Luo Ping, went to Jingyanggang to hunt tigers, and Wu Zhuang led the convoy to Jeju Prefecture."
Wu Song immediately discussed with Li Kui and Luo Ping how to hunt tigers. Fighting tigers is a technical job. It not only requires good fighting, but also a coincidence. The most important thing is that no one can be injured. Nowadays, medical science is underdeveloped, and serious injuries are equivalent to death.
Before dawn, Wu Song and the guys from the Cheshang started eating. The guys ate sorghum porridge, pickled cabbage sticks, steamed buns. Wu Song, Li Kui and Luo Ping ate roast chicken, each of which was holding Ken.
On weekdays, these three people eat the same food as everyone else, so there is no meat for breakfast.
When there was a guard, he asked Wu Zhuang, and said, "Why did Baozheng eat roast chicken when he got up early?"
"Why, are you jealous? There is a tiger on Jingyanggang. Bao Zheng and others are going to fight the tiger. Why don't you give you a roast chicken? You go and fight the tiger." Wu Zhuang said.
The guard said, "If you really want to send me, I will go and obey the orders firmly."
Wu Song and the other three packed up and rode their horses out of the cart shop. When they saw that County Magistrate Su was waiting there with more than a dozen yamen runners.
Wu Song clasped his fists and said, "Why is the county magistrate so early?"
County Magistrate Su said: "You go and work hard. I am not at the county government. Let's go to the bottom of Jingyanggang with you to wait for the good news of Erlang."
