The hunting team of Wolong Village is led by Qi Tian, Hu Yan, and Xu Qing, and has about forty members.
The leader of the hunting team in Xihe Village is named Niu Zhi, a middle-aged man who is almost as sturdy as Sun Sheng. The hunting team he leads has about thirty members, including the rogue Da Bin who is trying to steal Qi Tian's hand in marriage.
The captain of the Lijiatun hunting team is named Li Ning. He is a young man and is said to be the son of the village chief.
Because Lijiatun has a large population, Li Ning leads a larger number of members, about one hundred people.
The captain of Wanglouzhuang's hunting team is named Wang Geng. He is a sixty-year-old man. He leads a hunting team with more than 20 members, which is the smallest among the four hunting teams.
However, Wang Geng went to the battlefield when he was young, and it is said that he also participated in the war to destroy Southern Chu with Tai'an Emperor Xiao Yan. His archery skills were superhuman. The members of his hunting team were all trained by him, and they were all masters of archery.
The four major hunting teams gathered at the foot of the mountain. The foot of the mountain was quickly overcrowded, and several hunting captains also met at the same time.
"Hey, isn't this boy Li Ning? Are you here to participate in this hunting competition? With all due respect, your archery skills should not be embarrassing and conspicuous, right?" After seeing the young Li Ning, the old Wang Geng couldn't help but
He said jokingly.
Li Ning smiled and said: "Senior Wang Geng, my archery skills are not as good as yours, but there are many people here!"
"There are more than twenty of you, each of you has to shoot five prey, while each of our hunting team only needs to shoot one!"
Wang Geng snorted coldly: "Which one is stronger and which one is weaker, we will find out once we try it."
The two were angry with each other and ignored Niu Zhi, Hu Yan and others at all.
After all, among the four hunting teams, one of them has the strongest archery skills, the other has the largest number of people, and the remaining two are mediocre and nothing to be afraid of...
There was no other way, Ushiji had no choice but to stretch out his hand and said politely to Hu Yan:
"Are you just talking nonsense from Wolong Village? Yes, yes, you are really young and promising. You are much better than that selfish bastard Sun Sheng!"
Because Wolong Village and Xihe Village are close to each other, the two hunting teams often join forces to go hunting in the back mountains. However, Sun Sheng is more conceited, while Niu Zhi is a down-to-earth person, so he is often tricked by Sun Sheng.
Since the other party took the initiative to say hello, Hu Yan naturally greeted him with a smile: "Captain Niuji, please rest assured. From now on, our two hunting teams will cooperate sincerely and get rich together."
Niu Zhi nodded with a smile and said: "That's necessary. By the way, who is your hunting captain of Wolong Village now? It should be you, right?"
Hu Yan shook his head and pointed at Qi Tian and Xu Qing behind him respectively: "The hunting team was created by the three of us. Although the captain has not been selected, any one of the three of us can be found. We are all in charge."
Ushiji nodded thoughtfully, "Well, that's good. Brothers working together can be as powerful as gold... By the way, let me introduce to you, this is my vice-captain, Dabin."
As Ushiji introduced his words, Dabin, who was as tall as a mountain, stepped forward.
Seeing him, Qi Tian, Hu Yan and Xu Qing all looked unhappy.
Da Bin, this kid, became the vice-captain not long after he joined the Xihe Village Hunting Team. He seems to be doing really well...
Niuji naturally understood what was going on. He laughed and said: "Haha, I know your previous grievances. In my opinion, it was just a matter between children. Let the past go away with the wind with a glass of wine."
This kind of thing is easy to say, but Dabin wants to steal Qitian's wife, can he just say it?
Therefore, even if Niu Zhi acted as the mediator, Dabin and Qi Tian still ignored each other.
Da da da da.
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and it was the county magistrate Jia Gou who arrived in a carriage. In addition, Yue Qing and Pang Ruan led elite soldiers to guard him.
"Meet the magistrate."
Seeing Jia Gou arrive, all members of the hunting team saluted him.
"Well, good, very good."
Jia Gou smiled and nodded, then got off the carriage.
Surprisingly, after he got off the carriage, there was another person who got off the carriage with him.
The man was a young man, wearing a purple mink coat, and he looked very noble.
It turned out to be Xiao Yu!
Seeing him, Qi Tian, Xu Qing and others were all surprised, but they were talking nonsense and thinking in silence, as if they were thinking about something.
Soon, Jia Gou walked up to the stage that had been set up in advance and gave a speech:
"Everyone, I am holding this hunting competition to unite the hunting teams of the villages in Macheng. From now on, the hunting teams of each village will no longer hunt separately, but will concentrate their efforts to get rich together. Isn't it wonderful?"
As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly roared with shouts:
"The county magistrate is wise! The county magistrate is wise!"
For hunters in a hunting team, there is nothing good about hunting together. Of course, the more people the better, so you don’t have to be afraid when you encounter dangerous beasts.
What's more, the competition is not over yet, and the command of the hunting team and one hundred taels of gold are tempting everyone's hearts.
Especially Li Ning and Wang Geng, who thought they could win, screamed the loudest.
After finishing his speech of encouragement, Jia Gou pointed to Xiao Yu next to him and said:
"This is a young and promising wealthy man from our Macheng city, his name is Xiao Yu."
"The one hundred taels of gold that the winner received this time was donated by Mr. Xiao Yu. Please thank Mr. Xiao Yu."
"Without Young Master Xiao Yu, this competition might not have happened. Why don't you all quickly thank Young Master Xiao Yu?"
Hearing this, everyone was surprised. They did not expect that such a young master would invest in this hunting competition.
Having said that, being able to sponsor hundreds of taels of gold at once is enough to show the strength of Master Xiao Yu.
Who wouldn’t want to cling to such a person, and who wouldn’t want to make friends with him?
Ever since, a roar of thanks came from the mountains and the tsunami: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao Yu, thank you, Mr. Xiao Yu!"
Faced with such a scene, Xiao Yu remained as calm as before, and Feng Ya still said: "I hope you all can work hard in this hunting competition. I may need your help in the future."
The members of the hunting team shouted in unison again: "No one dares to disobey Master Xiao Yu's orders."
Immediately, the major hunting teams began to enter the back mountains and began their own hunting...
Towards evening, the major hunting teams returned one after another, holding different amounts of prey in their hands.
Jia Gou ordered specialized personnel to start calculating the weight of the prey of each major hunting team.
Yes, because the wild animals in the back mountains are different, the difference between catching a rabbit and a wild boar is still very big, so the competition stipulates that the winner will be determined according to the total weight of the prey.
The first to get results was the Lijiatun hunting team, which captured a total of 203 prey, weighing a total of 400 kilograms.
Li Ning proudly asked Wang Geng: "Haha, how about it? If it's too much, I'll ask you if it's too much? Old guy, are you ready to obey my orders from now on?"
Wang Geng was not panicked at all, and said calmly: "Young man, you have to understand that sometimes quantity is important, but quality is more important!"
