The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air and the trembling tail sound were endless. The members of the fish selling team guarding the door listened with their ears bent, with curious and excited expressions on their faces, and even wanted to take a peek.
But I just thought, no one really peeked.
Swish swish - buzz buzz...
Wang Hanshan was holding a Yuanrong crossbow, and all the crossbow arrows hit the ten-ringed black heart drawn in black charcoal.
hiss!
The fishing team, fish selling team, purchasing team, soap team captain, deputy captain, including the three brothers of the Guo family, all looked at it in amazement!
Yuan Rong Nu Wang Yuan also taught them.
Follow the markings on the crossbow body and launch at three points and one line to hit the target.
They practiced for five or six days and were able to shoot almost seven or eight rings, but their movements were very slow.
Da Hu, Er Hu, Guo Cang, Guo Liang, and Guo Qiang, the five fastest learners, could only occasionally hit the tenth ring, far less than Wang Hanshan who always hit the target.
"If I had had this crossbow in my hand back then..."
Staring at Yuan Rong's crossbow, Wang Hanshan didn't know what he thought of, with a look of sadness on his face.
This crossbow has a box of ten arrows, with a range of fifty steps and can penetrate half an inch of wood.
It’s incredibly lethal!
However, the cost was very high. It took only one hundred taels of silver to make a crossbow and five hundred crossbow arrows.
"Uncle Shanshan, what happened in the past is in the past. The most important thing is to look forward!"
Although he didn't know what happened, he had never seen Uncle Shanshan like this before, so Wang Yuan stepped forward to persuade him.
"Yes, look forward!"
Wang Hanshan's eyes sank, and he looked at the crowd and said, "With Zhuge Liannu, even if the Three Tigers come again, we will be afraid of them!"
"Yes, I'm not afraid anymore!"
A group of people with high morale.
Although they can't shoot ten rings, they can still shoot people at close range after practicing for so many days.
With a box of ten crossbow arrows, the bandits couldn't get close to them.
Wang Yuan looked serious: "But you must remember that crossbows are banned by the imperial court! If it were not for self-protection, I would not make them! Everyone, don't talk nonsense when you go out. No one can tell it. Unless it is used in danger, it is normal.
Put them all in my house! If an official comes to my house and looks wrong, he will set it on fire!"
Yuanrong Nu, also known as Zhuge Liannu.
He has a doctorate in mechanics and understood the structure of Yuan Rong's crossbow in his freshman year.
That day I gave Uncle Hanshan the drawings and money, and asked him to find someone to make the parts.
The purpose of following Xu Shi Snake, who stepped on the spot, is to delay time, make, practice, and become familiar with the Yuan Rong Crossbow.
Now that it's done, there's nothing to fear from bandits.
Daye secretly concealed a crossbow and conspired to rebel, which was a major crime against the nine clans!
However, in recent years, bandits have become common, and the powerful country gentry and landowners have secretly hidden bows, crossbows, knives and guns to protect themselves.
The government also turned a blind eye!
But if the government really pursues the case, then things will get serious, and we must remind everyone!
"We know how great it is!"
A group of people were nervous and excited. They looked at Wang Yuan and became much closer.
The entire small group looked at each other with completely different eyes.
The three Guo Cang brothers also felt that the feeling of rejection disappeared at this moment.
With common secrets and interests, everyone is truly united.
Suddenly there was a shout from outside the door.
"Let Wang Yuan come out quickly, don't hide at home and be a coward!"
"You caused such a big thing, almost killed everyone, and you're still hiding it!"
"When the bandit comes, he has a carriage to run around and someone to protect him. As for us people, if the bandit can't catch him, he will definitely kill us if he goes crazy!"
Wang Bizhong had a special voice, and there were other people shouting, but they all agreed.
Wang Yuan frowned.
The bandits were afraid of causing panic among the villagers when they interfered with the matter, so they planned to solve it secretly.
Who leaked it.
A group of people, you look at me, I look at you!
"Maybe it's Wang Dajun!"
Guo Cang stood up with a guilty look on his face: "Yesterday, Black Donkey and I were discussing outside the village. Wang Dajun was squatting in a pit nearby. I didn't find him until he left. I thought he was from the fishing team, so it shouldn't matter!"
Erhu frowned and said: "Even if this bastard is afraid of bandits, he shouldn't tell Wang Bizhong. Who doesn't know that old guy is talking bad about Brother Yuan all day long?"
Wang Hanshan frowned: "It should be about the vice-captain. A few days ago, Wang Yuan asked me to choose a vice-captain. He came to see me secretly. I felt that he was unreliable, so I didn't agree to let him be the vice-captain. Maybe
You must be angry because of this!"
The fishing team has a vacancy for a vice-captain, and many people in the team are jealous.
Some people even gave him gifts, but he never let go, saying it would be up to him to see who performed better.
Who knew this was coming!
Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "It's okay to spread it out. It's not a bad thing, it's even a good thing!"
Wang Hanshan was surprised: "A good thing?"
As soon as this news spread, Dawang Village was thrown into chaos, and the four team members were probably unable to do their jobs.
Wang Yuan said seriously: "Adversity reveals the heart! Only by going through hardships together can we know who is reliable and who is unreliable. Entrust those who are reliable with important tasks and keep those who are unreliable away from the core. This can also avoid big troubles in the future! Just like Wang Dajun,
If something happens, you won’t agree with us. People like this should find out in advance so as not to cause great harm if they know too much in the future!"
"Uh-huh!"
Everyone nodded unconsciously.
"You guys put away Yuan Rong's crossbow. I'll go out and take a look first to reassure everyone!"
Wang Yuan gave an order and pushed the door open.
As soon as they saw Wang Yuan's figure, everyone who was restless immediately became silent!
Many people opened their mouths and lowered their heads when they saw Wang Yuan's eyes.
They came together because they wanted to know what to do if the bandits came.
As for blaming Wang Yuan, I dare not and have not thought about it.
But some people have ideas!
Wang Yuan looked around at everyone.
I have always been very dissatisfied when I found that even though people were shouting, they were not working under me.
A small number of them were family members who were working. Their faces were full of worry and fear. They were obviously frightened!
This is understandable, after all, bandits know how to kill!
Wang Bizhong looked proud, while Wang Dajun lowered his head and his eyes wandered away!
Wang Bizhong put his hands behind his back, raised his head and asked: "Wang Yuan, it has been so many days since the bandits came to trample on your spot, why don't you tell everyone, do you know how dangerous this matter is? This is related to everyone's life safety.
You treat everyone’s lives as child’s play!”
He felt that if he caught Wang Yuan's loophole today, his prestige would be completely destroyed.
At that time, he will regain the prestige of the clan leader, and even replace Wang Yuan, command the fishing team, fish selling team, soap team, and purchasing team, and also have a taste of having great power.
"Are the bandits coming to kill me or you, who is more dangerous?"
Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "What's the use of telling everyone? Is it going to make everyone so scared that they can't eat or sleep?"
The villagers were shouted to stop.
"..."
Wang Bizhong choked, and changed the subject: "If you don't tell everyone, you can run away in a carriage when the bandits come, and there will be a group of thugs to protect you. If the bandits are missed, they will be furious and will definitely kill us... Oops!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a figure rushed over and punched him in the mouth.
The two tigers who took action were furious: "Wang Bizhong, who do you think is a bastard!"
"me!"
Wang Bizhong opened his mouth and two big teeth fell out. He couldn't help but pointed at Erhu and cursed: "You are such an arrogant kid. You have no respect for your elders and beat your elders. It's so unbelievable...ah!"
Click!
Grabbing Wang Bizhong's outstretched finger, the two tigers broke it back: "My name is Wang Polu, not the arrogant kid. I speak ill of Brother Yuan behind your back all day long. I have wanted to beat you for a long time. Please be more honest in the future."
If Brother Yuan talks bad about you once, I will go to your house and beat you once. If you don’t believe me, just give it a try!"
"Ah, you, you!"
The broken finger hurt to the bone, and Wang Bizhong couldn't say a word when he looked at the unreasonable 'Wang Polu'.
Wang Yuan walked towards Wang Dajun: "Why are you looking for Wang Bizhong? What are you thinking in your heart?"
"I, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that the bandits are coming. If you run away and leave us alone, the bandits will get angry and kill you if they escape, and they will come to kill me!"
Wang Dajun lowered his head and trembled all over.
Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "You told Wang Bizhong because you wanted him to keep me. When the bandits come and kill me, you will be safe!"
"No, it's not!"
Wang Dajun's eyes flashed with strange color, and he quickly lowered his head and waved his hands, looking innocent.
boom!
Wang Hanshan walked over and kicked him: "Eight days ago, the bandits came to visit the site for the first time. I advised Xiao Yuan to take Shihan to the county seat quickly. If he has the ability to make money, he can live in the county town for the rest of his life.
, but he asked me what we would do if he left and the bandits came. He stayed for everyone, but you missed him so much and even went to the clan leader to bring people here. Do you still have a conscience? "
Many villagers burst into tears on the spot, and some started sobbing directly.
"I'm just telling you, Brother Yuan is not that kind of person, you must come and ask!"
"Yes, I want to leave. Brother Yuan left long ago, and he will still stay until now!"
"Brother Yuan, please leave quickly. It's too dangerous to stay. That bandit kills without blinking an eye."
"Yes, let's go quickly. You have the ability to support many people. At our age, even if you are killed by a thief, it won't matter."
"Brother Yuan cannot be allowed to stay. Let him go to the county seat as soon as possible. Without him in the village, there will be no such good life in the future!"
"Shakeshan, please advise Brother Yuan to bring him to the city instead of staying in the village!"
Many villagers actually urged Wang Yuan to leave.
There is kindness here, but also selfishness.
It is more for the next generation to live a good life under the leadership of Wang Yuan!
Wang Bizhong was dumbfounded.
Wang Dajun shook his head repeatedly: "Brother Shanshan, no, I didn't. I was just worried about everyone's safety, so I asked the clan leader to find a way. Brother Yuan, please forgive me, I know I was wrong!"
Wang Yuan's face was expressionless: "Uncle Shanshan, give him this month's bonus. From now on, there will be no one like him in the fishing team."
Human nature has a selfish side. He understands this and does not expect or be disappointed.
But those who are selfish, stupid and traitorous will not be given another chance!
"Brother Yuan, I was wrong. I can't leave the fishing team. Otherwise, how will my family live? How will you let me and my family live? I just told the patriarch and nothing happened!"
Wang Dajun cried and begged, still looking innocent and pitiful.
The fishing team is treated so well, and the whole family has no worries about food and drink, and it’s hard to find a lantern!
Wang Yuan seemed not to have heard, and looked at the villagers and said: "The bandits will come, but we are ready. Those who believe in me can stay, and those who don't believe in me don't matter. They can go to relatives and friends first, and wait until the matter is over."
return."
Villagers, look at me and I look at you. At that moment, many people didn’t know what to do.
"I believe Brother Yuan, I'll stay and help him fight the bandits!"
"I will stay too. Brother Yuan, if I am killed by bandits, let my son join the fishing team!"
"Brother Yuan, my two sons have joined the fish sales team, and I will be content in this life. If the bandits dare to touch you, I will splash their blood even if they can't stop me!"
"I will also stay and fight with those bandits for Brother Yuan!"
Someone spoke, and the voice became louder and louder. Gradually, the crowd became passionate and excited.
In this day and age, everyone is short of food and clothing, and there are no relatives or friends to turn to!
And I am not willing to leave like this because life in Dawang Village is so good now!
Wang Dajun was dumbfounded, thinking that the villagers were going crazy. Is the bandit easy to deal with?
"Crazy, all crazy!"
Wang Bizhong staggered towards his home: "Leave a bunch of lunatics here to die. I'll buy a house in the county. When the bandits come, you will know how powerful they are!"
