Lu Ling has been staying at home these days, never leaving the front door, and has become a stay-at-home girl.
I practice martial arts in front of a few wooden stakes every day, as if I am venting my anger, and I always say something in my mouth.
The old grandma felt sorry for her, so she changed some seasonings from somewhere, and asked the cook to ask the chef of Haoke Lai Restaurant for advice.
"Miss, I'm going to eat your favorite roasted lamb chops today, and grandma has specially prepared a pot of good wine."
The little maid entered the yard carrying the fragrant roast mutton, and saw Lu Ling standing in the corner of the yard from a distance, holding a long gun in his hand in a daze.
"Ah, Miss, the gun head..."
The little maid put down the food box and suddenly saw a spear head next to the stone table. When she looked back, she found that the spear in Lu Ling's hand had a broken head.
Lu Ling pursed her lips, glanced at the maid coldly, and threw the stick aside.
The little maid secretly spat out her sweet tongue and said to herself that she was too talkative. She hurriedly set out the food and served it carefully.
"Why is there so little meat today?" Lu Ling looked at the barbecue on the plate and asked with a frown.
The little maid responded in fear: "It's hard to find meat tickets. It took a lot of people to exchange them for a few. I said I should save some."
Lu Ling took a deep breath, remembering the scene where she was eating and drinking in the Wei Mansion, and her heart felt sour for no reason.
Seeing that Lu Ling was in a low mood, the little maid rolled her eyes and said: "Miss, I heard that a divine hot spring villa has opened in the east of the city, named Yaochi. Recently, many people in the city have gone to bathe. How about we go to bathe in the afternoon too?"
Yeah, it must be very comfortable."
Lu Ling frowned slightly, remembering the scene in the valley that day. Seriously, I dug that pool with great effort.
Why is it cheaper for you?
Lu Ling bit off a piece of mutton with all her strength. Although she was not angry in her heart, she was more embarrassed to go there, fearing that she would meet Cai Yan and the others.
"Isn't it ridiculous that you treat my husband like this and still want me to be in the same room with you?"
Cai Yan's words were like a curse, still echoing in her mind, making her very uncomfortable every time she thought about it.
"Oh, you've eaten all this. I also want to stew bear palm for you."
Just as he was talking, grandma walked in with a smile, holding a bear paw, and it seemed that she came here specially to show off.
Lu Ling frowned slightly and asked curiously: "Where did the bear paw come from?"
Grandma was here to take credit, and said with a smile: "I went outside the city this morning to find someone to exchange for food stamps. I didn't want to encounter the farmers killing pigs and bears. I thought these bear paws were good, so I bought one. It's quite cheap.
.”
Lu Ling once accompanied his father to the mountains for hunting. He glanced at the bear's paw, nodded and said, "I'm afraid this bear's claws weigh no less than five hundred kilograms."
Grandma handed the bear's paw to the maid aside, nodded and said, "Yes, the butcher said, if I hadn't lost weight due to hunger in the winter, it would have weighed at least seven or eight hundred kilograms. This bear's paw is a great tonic."
There was no way. She couldn't exchange for food stamps or meat stamps. She could only buy a bear's paw, so she did her best. In order to take care of Lu Ling's three meals a day, she had lost several pounds recently.
Lu Ling, on the other hand, blinked with starry eyes, suddenly stood up and said, "Yes, I can also go hunting in the mountains. Is there any meat in the mountains?"
When grandma heard this, she was startled and hurriedly tried to dissuade her: "Miss, you must not do it. You don't know something. Spring is about to begin, and these beasts have also finished their winter sleep. It is the year
Don't do anything stupid when you are most hungry."
The little maid also nodded and agreed: "Miss, it is indeed not suitable to go into the mountains for hunting now. I heard from Xiao Zizi in the yard next door that their young master went into the mountains for hunting a few days ago and his leg was bitten off by a big insect. If it weren't for
People from the city guard just happened to be passing by, so I'm afraid they won't be able to come back."
The neighbor next door to the Lu Mansion lived a wealthy family who moved from Yuzhou. There was a young man in the family who was seventeen or eighteen years old. Lu Ling had met him once. At that time, he almost beat that man up because he always looked at her.
look.
Thinking of the pretty boy who had his leg bitten off, even Lu Ling, who thought he was very skilled in martial arts, couldn't help but feel afraid at this moment.
She had witnessed her father Lu Bu fighting with Xiong Zhi. If Lu Bu had not had a weapon to protect himself, he would probably not be able to please her. No matter how confident she was, she would not dare to say that her martial arts skills were better than her father's.
When, when, when...
"what sound?"
The three women looked around curiously, and their eyes fell outside the courtyard wall.
"...The City Guard is temporarily recruiting workers. Each household can send someone to sign up. After three days, they will go into the mountains to hunt. They will be rewarded with food stamps and meat stamps based on their contribution. Those who are interested should register at the Chengnan Guard Office before noon tomorrow."
Lu Ling's eyes lit up, the opportunity was about to come.
···
City North Guards Station.
Wei Cheng held in his hand a collection of incidents of wild beasts injuring people in satellite towns outside the city in recent days, including 23 cases of missing children.
There are no less than a hundred cases of various bites and deaths. There is no way, as the population base is large, these data will naturally skyrocket.
Not only people, but also some families who adopted livestock suffered heavy losses. Some families had a whole flock of sheep killed overnight.
There are also vegetables grown in greenhouses in several satellite cities, but wild boars broke into their shacks at night. The fruits and vegetables that could have been picked immediately directly made the animals cheaper, and indirectly caused countless losses.
The wild animals that countries in later generations have made great efforts to protect are a scourge in this era, and they can be described as overrun. If we don't find a solution, more people will die.
Wei Cheng was not a soft-hearted person, so he immediately asked Tian Feng to issue a summons order, calling on all the men in the city to form a hunting team.
It is simply impossible to rely on only 5,000 city guards to fight against these elusive beasts. Wild animals are not like humans. They do not live in groups and leave you with traces. If you really want to deal with them, it will still require dozens of people.
The hunting team is more flexible.
Of course, Wei Cheng would not really kill them all.
Otherwise, some well-intentioned readers would not be able to scold him to death.
He came to the guard station today to specify the hunting manual, which animals should be hunted, which animals could be spared, and which animals needed to be captured alive. Wei Cheng listed them all in detail.
"Sir, look at this."
Wei Cheng frowned slightly and looked at the roster handed over by Tian Feng.
"Is this girl too busy to make trouble?"
Tian Feng said funnyly: "Otherwise, I will just cross her out?"
Wei Cheng moved his butt unconsciously and said helplessly: "Let's forget it, lest she really gets into trouble and accuses me of being petty and targeting her everywhere."
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Cheng handed the roster to Tian Feng and said: "After all, she is the daughter of Lu Zhonglang. Take some care of her and arrange her with the home team, so as not to be injured or disabled and have to help her clean up later."
A mess.”
Tian Feng laughed and joked: "This Lu Fengxian is really a wonderful man. If he knew that his daughter had offended you, I don't know how he would feel."
Wei Cheng curled his lips and was too lazy to pay attention to Tian Feng's bad taste. He glanced at the names circled by Tian Feng in the name list and didn't know what to think.
