When Su Yiyang left, he left two slightly rectangular wooden boxes for Zhang Cheng. He said solemnly: "Commander Commander, I encountered two fine wild ginseng trees when I was naturalized. I estimate they are not a thousand years old."
, almost a hundred years old ginseng, so I kept it and presented it to the Commander-in-Chief today to replenish the bones of the two old ladies."
Seeing that Zhang Cheng also looked very interested, he opened the wooden box on top in front of everyone, and saw a ginseng inside. Its main body was nearly two inches long, and its main trunk was almost over 2 inches long.
One and a half feet.
Zhang Cheng took a breath. He had seen ginseng in his previous life, but most of them were artificially grown. At most, they were understory ginseng.
To be honest, this was his first time seeing real wild ginseng, not to mention it was so big!
Su Yiyang continued: "The little man has already weighed it. This wild ginseng tree weighs nearly ninety-two pounds, and the one below is slightly smaller, almost eighty-two pounds."
Zhang Cheng nodded and motioned for Chen Zhong to take it. He heard Chen Zhong muttering in his ear: "Hey, darling, 'Seven taels are ginseng and eight taels are treasures.' Comb, you are offering a treasure to our general!"
Hearing Chen Zhong speak like this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but take another look at the two wooden boxes containing wild ginseng.
"If we had not met the commander-in-chief, we would have been enslaved by the Tatars in the bitter cold land of Liaodong. This is also a little filial piety from a villain!"
Only then did Zhang Cheng ask: "Su Yiyang, did you spend a lot of money on these two ginseng trees?"
A strange evil smile flashed across Su Yiyang's face and he said: "Commander Commander, this is just a filial piety of a villain. I have never used public funds."
"Hahaha……"
Chen Zhong's face was shocked and he said: "Did you steal the comb or lie to me..."
At this moment, Lin Fangping's voice came from outside the door: "Commander Commander, Mr. Cheng Fang is here and is anxious to see you."
"oh."
Zhang Cheng said: "Chen Zhong, please send Yi Yang and others off for me."
Not far after everyone left the room, they saw a strong young man rushing towards him, shouting: "Father, handsome father, look what I have caught!"
Zhang Cheng saw Zhang Chengfang, who was more than a dozen steps away, covered in blood, but with a red face and an extremely excited look. He couldn't help but feel doubtful and asked loudly: "Chengfang, why are you like this?"
Zhang Chengfang rushed forward, knelt on the ground with a bang, and said loudly: "Reporting to my father, on your wedding day, Chengfang didn't have a big gift to send you. Today, he led his brothers to kill a big white-fronted insect in the mountains. Specially.
Come and dedicate it to your handsome father!"
"Big insect..."
"...white-fronted giant insect..."
Not to mention that Su Yiyang was surprised, even Chen Zhong, who usually knew that Zhang Chengfang and other Boy Scouts trained extremely hard, were also shocked by what he just said.
While they were talking, seven or eight boy scouts in the distance were working together to carry a dead tiger towards them. Looking at the way they staggered as they walked, they knew that the tiger that was killed was definitely not a good thing.
"A real tiger..."
"Who is this boy? He can kill a tiger..."
Sukhbalu and Mo Zhigen had not yet paid attention to the conversation between a few people just now, but at this moment they really saw the corpse of a big tiger, but they were so shocked that they froze on the spot, their big red eyes unstoppable.
Looked at Zhang Chengfang.
"Chengfang, are you hurt?" Zhang Cheng asked with great concern as he looked at Zhang Chengfang who had blood stains on his armor.
"Reply to my father, Cheng Fang is fine, it's all the blood of that big bug!" He said with a smile on his face, as if killing a big bug was like a game.
Zhang Cheng looked at Zhang Chengfang in front of him, as if he had seen him fighting on the battlefield in the future, thinking that this boy would definitely be a fierce general in the future.
He then waved his hand and asked Chen Zhong to send Su Yiyang, Sukhbalu, Mo Rigen and others away.
When several people left, they all looked at the dead tiger being carried with surprised expressions on their faces, and even looked at the group of boy scouts a few more times.
…………
It turned out that Zhang Chengfang had been grieving because she had no gift to give to her adoptive father on his wedding day. A few days ago, he heard some old hunters talking about this big insect in the mountains.
He wanted to kill one to make a big tiger-skin chair for his father, to decorate Zhang Cheng's military tent. However, although several people in their boy camp had hunted before, none of them had any hunting experience.
The experience of killing a tiger.
For a moment, he didn't know how to start, let alone where to look for the tiger. In desperation, he had no choice but to bribe the old hunters with the money Zhang Cheng usually rewarded him.
But the old hunters know how dangerous it is to hunt tigers. They are all a bunch of kids. Although they are all very fertile and ferocious, they have no hunting experience after all, let alone dealing with the king of the mountain.
I originally didn't want to talk to Zhang Chengfang and the others, but I couldn't bear to be tortured by Zhang Chengfang all day long. After seeing the skills and tacit understanding of these thirty scouts, I finally agreed to tell them where the tiger was.
Locations, and tips for hunting tigers.
After that, Zhang Chengfang and other scouts scurried around in the ravine for days, but they didn't encounter any sign of the tiger for half a month. Just when they were about to despair, they discovered traces of the tiger looking for food.
Decided to wait and see!
Finally, at noon today, we found the tiger coming out to look for food again. After a fierce fight, we finally beat the tiger to death, but also injured seven scouts.
Zhang Cheng felt relieved after listening to him tell the story of how he killed the tiger, and asked about the situation of the injured in detail. He said to the scouts who came with him: "Although you have been practicing for more than half a year, after all, you still have time to practice."
The day is still short, and we have not gone through the battle formation. Although you are filial to take risks today to kill the tiger, you should not take such a risk.
As the saying goes, act with a plan, and it is said that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles without danger. You are already the soldiers under my command. You should strictly abide by military orders. For the time being, I will not pursue the matter because you are the first offender, but this will not be the case next time!"
"Here!"
All the scouts knelt down and responded.
Zhang Cheng said in a deep voice: "Fang Ping, although the boys and men made the mistake of acting without orders, hunting tigers really showed their bravery. Each of the boys in the Tongzi Camp will be rewarded with two taels of silver as a token of appreciation!"
"Here!" Lin Fangping responded loudly.
"Any meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and any faults shall be punished."
Zhang Cheng continued in a deep voice: "Zhang Chengfang, as the leader of the boy camp, did not receive military orders and was good at leading the boy soldiers into dangerous situations. He also lacked planning and caused many boy soldiers to be injured. Although he hunted tigers, he showed that our boy soldiers
Mighty, but not enough to offset his crime.
Lin Fangping, at noon tomorrow, the general will punish Zhang Chengfang with twenty military sticks in public in the martial arts hall on the west side of the office, as a warning to others!"
"Commander Commander..."
Lin Fangping screamed. He wanted to plead for Zhang Chengfang, but when he saw Zhang Cheng's cold and solemn expression, he didn't know what to say.
At this time, a boy soldier came out of the crowd, walked to Zhang Cheng, knelt down, and said loudly: "Commander Commander, everyone in the boy camp is united as one. We will be rewarded for our merits and punished for our mistakes. I am willing to suffer the punishment together with Commander Zhang!"
