The position of the wolf and the hunter has always been very awkward. Until the end, no one knew whether they were the prey or the hunter.
At this moment, Hu Biao obviously thinks that he is the real hunter.
The bonfire at the foot of the mountain was burning brightly. Hu Biao asked his men to shoot a few rabbits and was roasting meat with great interest. He looked satisfied when he saw the villagers on the mountain shivering.
The class concept in the genes prevents the general public from having the slightest resistance to a tyrant like him.
Why did the people of Haojia Village abandon their homes and hide in the mountains and forests before meeting Wei Cheng?
Why did they dare to confront the people of Hujiabao after meeting Wei Cheng, and even imprisoned the imperial officials?
You know, no matter how bad the alleys are, no matter how wretched the men are, on the surface they are all military officers receiving a salary from the imperial court. They can receive a salary of 200 dan per year and have dozens of people under their command.
That's because the identity of the young master of the Weichen family was enough to cover up Hu Biao's glory, and gave the people in Haojia Village who were hiding behind him the courage to take up arms and fight against him, because they had someone behind them.
The clans of this era are like the families of beautiful countries in later generations. They control the true lifeblood of a country and monopolize all means of ruling people, such as business, education, and power.
Our country has been afraid of the aristocratic family for thousands of years. Later Li Shimin was determined to eradicate the aristocratic family, and he was fed up with the challenge and disdain of the aristocratic family to the imperial power, but did he succeed?
The answer is no, the dominance of the family unit can never be eradicated.
Throughout the Three Kingdoms period, whether it was Cao Aman, the great hero, Sun Ce, the young overlord of Jiangdong, or Liu Xuande, the mat weaver and shoe seller, their origins were not simple.
Even Liu Bei, who was the most depressed in his early days, was after King Jing of Zhongshan. Liu Bei's grandfather went to Fanling in Dongjun. At the age of fifteen, he, Gongsun Zan and others studied under Lu Zhi, the prefect of Jiujiang.
Liu Bei's father died early, and his mother took him to weave mats and sell shoes. On the surface, it didn't look good, but it depends on who he compares with. He definitely can't compare with Cao Cao, the son of the Taiwei, but if he compares with ordinary people, then
But it is a proper second-generation rich man and a third-generation official.
Hu Biao was ambitious. He was not from a good background, so he wanted to hook up with some powerful people.
Such a person, while longing for power, is also deeply afraid of it.
If Hu Biao had known that Cai Yan was on the mountain at this time and Wei Cheng had also settled here, he might have found a reason to retreat early. After all, he still had to give the Cai family and the Wei family face. Unfortunately, there is no if, habit
He, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, why should he be afraid when facing the people in Haojia Village?
The people arranged by Fan Zhiqing had already begun to collect pine oil and apply it on the arrows. As soon as Fan Zhiqing gave the order, they fired thousands of arrows and opened up a no-man's land above the lift platform.
However, the reaction of everyone in Haojia Village was not slow. Basically all the water stored in the village was moved here, and even the water tank in Wei Cheng's home was not spared.
At this time, Cai Yan looked anxious. After asking Hao Dadao a few questions, he ordered: "Although there is only one passage up and down the mountain, you must be on guard against others. You immediately send people to guard along the cliff to beware of incoming enemies."
Make a sound in the east, attack in the west, and climb to the top from somewhere else."
Cai Yan likes to read books. She not only reads history books and travel notes, but also reads a lot of military books. She seems to be able to arrange everyone at this time with ease, but she is more worried about Wei Cheng's safety.
Hao Dadao nodded repeatedly. Although Wei Yan was not in charge, it was the same with Mrs. Wei, and Cai Yan's words also reminded him that he should indeed send someone to patrol to prevent the enemy from climbing to the top from other places.
But that's troublesome.
Hao Dadao looked at the people behind him, his eyes fell on Hao Sanzhu's face, and said: "Lao San, you immediately lead 20 people to patrol along the cliff. Whenever you see someone climbing up, you will throw stones at them, and arrange a person at the same time."
Run back and report the news."
Hao Sanzhu was about to accept the order when he was in danger.
Cai Yan frowned slightly and said in a somewhat heroic voice: "If that doesn't work, the men should leave alone and the women and children should be responsible for patrolling and guarding. All women should be divided into four teams and guarded separately in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.
"
In the crowd, Aunt Manhua's huge body stood forward and said to Hao Dadao: "Madam is right, you men can just meet the enemy here. Leave patrolling the cliffs to us women."
Seeing this, several brave women also stood up. Even Hao Niang and Xiao'e stood forward to express their support for Cai Yan's decision.
The men looked at each other, and finally looked at Hao Dadao, nodded and said: "Uncle, let's do it like this. Madam is right, there are only a few men in our village, so if we spread out at this time, in case the enemy
What to do if we attack?"
Hao Dadao was not stupid. After careful consideration, he felt that Cai Yan's arrangement was more reasonable than him. He immediately gave Cai Yan a fist salute and complimented: "Madam, what you said makes sense. Let's do as Madam said. Manhua will lead the team."
how?"
Cai Yan nodded slightly, looked at Aunt Manhua, and said: "When you encounter people climbing the mountain, don't panic and fight back randomly. First determine the specific number of people. If there are few people, don't report. I don't need to teach you what to do."
"
The women of this era were not just ordinary women. In the past, Hua Mulan joined the army to fight against the Huns in place of her father, and later, Lady Li led the rebel army to guard Niangzi Pass. Although the women of the Three Kingdoms were famous for their beauty, there were not a few brave warriors.
Aunt Manhua raised her thick eyebrows, took out the only large kitchen knife in the village from her waist, and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I will make sure they never come back."
Cai Yan nodded with satisfaction and then revealed her true purpose.
"My husband is not here, and I feel really uneasy. I want Hao Zhao to take a few people secretly down the mountain and look for him in the direction where he left. What do you think?"
"This..." Hao Dadao frowned slightly. Hao Zhao was his son, and he didn't want his son to take risks.
But after hearing this, Hao Zhao took the initiative to ask for help and said, "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely find the young master."
Behind Hao Zhao, several young men such as Hu Tou and Gou Zi also stood up, and even the top men also took a step forward.
Seeing this, Hao Dadao knew that he couldn't stop him anymore. After thinking about it, he said: "Just as the lady said, Zhao'er, you choose a few people to go with you. While the people in Hujiabao are paying attention to the front, you can go from the west."
Put the long rope down."
"Okay, I'll set off right now, Hutou, you guys follow me." Hao Zhao picked up the Han sword and shouted loudly.
Seeing this, Cai Yan stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Don't worry, don't go down the mountain until dark."
After hearing this, everyone looked towards the setting sun in the west. After a day of stalemate, it was already afternoon. It was estimated that after dark, the people from Hujiabao would find a way to attack.
During the day, they can still clearly see if someone is climbing up, but at night, they can't see anything.
···
Back to modern times.
Wei Cheng purchased a lot of things at the market, found a freight company, and ordered a small truck to deliver them to his home.
At this time, he was sitting in the passenger seat of the pickup truck, chatting with the driver.
The car went to the bus station first and picked up the newly arrived stab-proof clothing and customized 'handicrafts'.
The truck driver was a real person. He helped load the truck and unload the truck. The trip only cost 500 yuan.
After returning home, the exhausted Wei Cheng looked at the goods in the yard and couldn't help but longed for the expressions of the villagers when they saw the equipment.
Looking at the time, it was almost five o'clock. Wei Cheng took a quick shower.
Taking the porcelain bottles prepared in advance and a bottle of medicinal wine that I had collected, I went straight to the entrance of the village and took the car.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw several villagers chatting and laughing. One of them saw Wei Cheng, waved his hand and shouted: "Chengzi, you can also go to have a feast and come with us."
This man is the neighbor next door to Wei Cheng's house. He is a few years older than Wei Cheng. He is already married and has children. It is said that he has built a pond in the village to raise bastards and earns two to three hundred thousand a year. He is doing very well.
When Wei Cheng saw this, he greeted him with a smile, said a friendly hello to the others, and asked curiously: "Brother Jun, doesn't he have a car? Why don't you drive over?"
Brother Jun is a man named Wei Cheng. He smiled and joked: "Why don't you drive there and drink? A table of dishes tonight costs 2888. I took a 1,000 birthday gift and I have to make my money back...I ordered Dajinbei from the next village."
, it’s a twelve-seater, we happened to be passing by in one car.”
Several other people continued chatting: "Good guys, I heard that Uncle Fang's brother-in-law paid for the banquet. I didn't know that Uncle Fang had such a wealthy brother-in-law. Who among you knows him? Tell me!"
Everyone shook their heads. Only Wei Cheng was stunned and thought of someone.
Speaking of which, his father is still his great benefactor.
Soon, the big golden cup slowly arrived, and the group of people set off to have a meal while chatting and laughing.
Wei Cheng was not very familiar with them, so Jun Ge asked him to be the co-pilot. Wei Cheng was happy and quiet, sitting in the co-pilot with his eyes closed and meditating, planning how to live a fairy-like life in the Three Kingdoms.
More than ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a restaurant.
Fang Xin's family was greeting guests at the door with smiles on their faces. When they saw Wei Cheng, Uncle Fang even came over to say hello.
Everyone knew that Uncle Fang and Wei Cheng's father were brothers. After a few young people registered the gift money wisely, they entered the restaurant first, leaving Wei Cheng embarrassed to face Fang's family.
When no one else showed up, Uncle Fang said something reproachful, to the effect that Wei Cheng was too outgoing. When he got home, he could go to his house for dinner, or he could just come and sit there. Don't stay alone all the time.
at home.
Wei Teng laughed and said that she was busy researching the prescription. Aunt Fang added: "I asked Xiaoxin to send you breakfast for several days, but you were not at home. You don't know how sad our Xinxin is."
"Uh..." Wei Cheng looked at Fang Xin aside, "Really? I sleep very hard and sometimes wear earplugs. I'm sorry, I didn't know you bring me breakfast every day."
Fang Xin glared at her mother angrily and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who cares? I, I will go find grandpa, hum!"
Looking at her running back into the restaurant, the Fang family's parents looked at each other and smiled. As people who had been there, they could tell that Fang Xin was probably interested in Wei Cheng... However, they did not expect that Wei Cheng had only been here for a few months.
No, he actually had long hair.
Other people's long hair looks a bit sloppy, but this young man looks extra energetic and has a very elegant look.
Uncle Fang said with a smile: "Go in soon and you will sit at Xinxin's table. They are all young people. You should communicate more in the future. Don't stay alone at home all the time. Come to the supermarket more often when you have nothing to do."
Wei Cheng didn't know their intentions, so he could only nod his head obediently: "Uncle Fang, Aunt Fang, you guys go ahead and I'll go in first. I'll be there to nag you often, so just don't bother me."
"Hey, you kid." The more Mother Fang looked at Wei Cheng, the more she liked him. He was tall and energetic, and the key was his ability.
At this moment, a Range Rover slowly drove in at the door, and two people got out of the car.
Seeing this, Fang's mother smiled and said to Fang's father: "Lao Fang, Guotao and Xiuying are here."
The visitors were none other than Uncle Fang's sister Fang Xiuying and brother-in-law Li Guotao. Wei Cheng had some impression of Li Guotao. Before Wei Cheng's parents had an accident, Li Guotao was a frequent visitor to the family.
Obviously, Li Guotao also had an impression of Wei Cheng. After saying hello to his elder brother and sister-in-law, he came to Wei Cheng and said with a smile: "Xiao Cheng, you are here too. Didn't you open a company in the provincial capital?
Did you come back specially?"
Wei Cheng couldn't explain too much, so he just brushed it off and said he planned to stay in his hometown for a while.
Li Guotao was from the business world, and he obviously heard what Wei Cheng was hiding. He laughed and said, "It's good to go back to your hometown. You are quite capable. If there is anything you need from Uncle Li later, I will go directly to you."
Call me."
As Li Guotao spoke, he took out a gold-gilded business card and handed it to Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng glanced at it. The name of the business card read "Xinghua Village Fenjiu Group Co., Ltd.", followed by Li Guotao's position: senior sommelier, name and phone number, and a WeChat QR code.
Only then did Wei Teng remember that Li Guotao had sought treatment from his father because of liver function problems.
Thinking of this, he asked casually: "Uncle Li, have you finished the medicine my dad made for you?"
Li Guotao was startled for a moment, then pulled Wei Cheng over and asked, "I've finished eating already. By the way, can you make those liver-protecting pills?"
Coincidentally, Wei Cheng had made a batch before and gave it to Manager Zhou who had helped him. Hearing this, he nodded and said: "Yes, I have a customer who also drank alcohol in his early years and was in bad health. He just made it a few days ago.
How many bottles are there at home, do you want them?"
"Yes, yes." Li Guotao did not doubt Wei Cheng's ability at all, and said hurriedly: "You will give me a course of treatment later. To be honest, I have started to feel uncomfortable again recently. I can't do it without that medicine. I won't go to the hospital for treatment."
It’s no use, the doctor just said not to drink, but it doesn’t make sense for me not to drink because of my job.”
Wei Teng smiled and said, "You should drink less. Liver-protecting pills are not a panacea."
Li Guotao chuckled and said: "Then at least I can drink some. Those Western doctors just told me to cut off the disease. How can this be possible? I have a big family to feed."
Wei Qing shook his head helplessly, suddenly thinking of the men in Haojia Village, and turned around and asked: "Uncle Li, can you tell me about the process of brewing wine? I plan to make some medicinal wine recently, but the grain wine on the market is real or fake
It’s hard to tell, I want to try making some wine myself.”
