When hundreds of strong soldiers enter the village, it can still bring quite a shock to people. The hunters in these villages are not very afraid of the beasts in the mountains, but they are afraid of these soldiers who represent the official family.
Yu Jiansheng saw the person coming from a distance from the window, his face changed slightly and he said: "Haotian, how many people know about your promotion to hunter?"
Zheng Haotian hesitated for a moment and said, "Except for dad and the three of you, no one else knows."
Yu Jiansheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "You three, please remember that this matter must not be leaked at all. If I find out that someone has spread the word, I will definitely break your legs."
Yu Weihua and the three looked at each other in confusion. They didn't understand why Yu Jiansheng did this.
There is an additional hunter in the village, and he is still such a young hunter. This is definitely a great thing. If word spreads, the status of their village in the surrounding area will definitely improve. But Yu Jiansheng is secretive and clear.
They just didn't want people to know, which made them extremely surprised.
Zheng Haotian opened his mouth, but when the words came to his lips, he still swallowed them alive.
Perhaps because he saw through Zheng Haotian's concerns, Yu Jiansheng immediately said: "Haotian, you can rest assured that as long as you turn fourteen in a little more than a year, I will definitely send you to the city to learn skills in a martial arts school. But when you are ten
Before you are four years old, you must not let anyone know that you are a hunter."
Zheng Haotian nodded, but his eyes were still blank. The three teenagers looked at each other, and they all felt that the adult world was too complicated, and they were not able to see through it.
At this time, the only two old men left in the village had already come forward to greet them, chatted with Zheng Chenglian and Butler Cheng for a few words, and then walked towards the village chief's home.
Within a moment, they had entered the room. Zheng Chenglian came to the bed in three steps and two steps at a time. Looking at Yu Jiansheng, who was unable to move like a mummy, he asked eagerly: "Village Chief, how are you injured?"
Yu Jiansheng gave a wry smile and said: "I can't die, it's all skin injuries."
Two people entered the room one after another. One was naturally the fat housekeeper Cheng, while the other was a tall and straight middle-aged officer.
The short face is paired with a long neck and slender shoulders. The front bangs are cut into a herringbone, and the black crows are draped down on the temples. The ends of the eyes are swept upward, and it looks a bit like a golden mask. There is a prism between the eyebrows.
The purple and red marks clearly indicate serious injuries here. However, it was a lucky break that someone was injured here and was able to save his life in the end.
When the two of them came in, their eyes first fell on Yu Jiansheng on the bed.
Although he was wrapped in thick bandages, Yu Jiansheng still forced a smile and said: "Steward Cheng, this general, please take a seat."
Yu Weihua and three teenagers quickly brought in three chairs and asked them to prepare them. At the same time, people in the village began to get busy. They lit a fire, started grilling and boiling wolf meat, and making noodles.
meal.
If it were normal times, they might not be willing to take out the fine noodles to eat, but at this time when officers and soldiers came to the door, everyone took out all the good things from the bottom of the box.
This is not out of respect and love, but out of fear.
Hundreds of well-trained and well-cooperated soldiers are a powerful fighting force. If they attack, they can definitely massacre the entire village without any problem.
Although they came here to rescue the village, if they were not greeted well, it would not be that difficult for the soldiers to transform into beasts.
Butler Cheng was indifferent to outside affairs and acted indifferently to Yu Jiansheng's attentive reception. On the contrary, he was quite polite to Zheng Chenglian.
In his heart, the status of Carpenter Zheng, who has a special skill and is appreciated by his master, is much higher than that of a small village chief. Even if the village chief is a junior hunter, it is the same.
The officer's eyes were bright and he was clearly a battle-hardened man. After he sat down, he said in a deep voice: "Village Chief Yu and my officer Xu Jun came to Dalin Village to drive away the wolves on the order of the city lord. I don't know what those people are.
Where are the wolves now?”
Zheng Haotian and the three of them thought to themselves at the same time, you have clearly seen the wolf corpse, why do you still ask questions knowingly?
Of course, they only think about it in their hearts and don't dare to show it on their faces. They still understand this basic common sense and human sophistication.
Yu Jiansheng nodded and said: "General Xu, please ask. There are dozens of wolves attacking this time. They are all giant wolves in the mountains, so they had no choice but to ask the city lord for help." He first explained what happened.
After a while, he said again: "This time a pack of wolves came, thanks to Brother Zheng who arranged some traps in the village in advance. We used the traps to kill more than half of the wolves. In the end, everyone worked together to bring down the wolves."
After killing more than half of them, the rest of the wolves also retreated."
Although what he said was an understatement, as long as you saw the unwashed blood outside, you would know how tragic the battle was.
Xu Jun's cold eyes turned around the crowd and said: "I heard that during the Xionglang Mountain earthquake two years ago, more than thirty black bears were hunted in Dalin Village. Why is this?
I faced a pack of wolves once, but I was so panicked."
Zheng Haotian and the other three people raised the topic in their hearts.
Although wolves are powerful, they are absolutely no match for bears in one-on-one combat.
Dalin Village was able to kill more than thirty black bears in one fell swoop, but when faced with a pack of wolves, it was so frightened that it even sent people down the mountain to ask for help.
Xu Jun didn't really suspect anything, but he was experienced and couldn't help but ask more questions when he encountered such unreasonable things.
Yu Jiansheng sighed and said: "The general doesn't know something. If we in Dalin Village have enough manpower, we won't be afraid of wolves. But the middle-aged hunters in our Dalin Village happened to go hunting in the mountains a few days ago, and we don't know when they will return.
Even if I and these children have three heads and six arms, I dare not say that they can deal with a pack of wolves."
Xu Jun frowned slightly, but before he could continue asking, Butler Cheng coughed lightly and said, "Commander Xu, what Village Chief Yu said makes sense, so don't ask questions."
Although Butler Cheng's words were very rude, Xu Jun immediately bowed slightly in response and really stopped asking.
Although he is the commander of thousands of people in the city, he can also be regarded as a high-ranking officer. But Butler Cheng is the chief steward of the city lord's mansion. Although the chief steward does not have an official position, how dare Xu Jun offend this person.
He can put on an official airs in front of ordinary people and appreciate others being submissive and careful in front of him. But in front of people with a higher status than him, he is as timid as a mouse and dare not have the slightest bit of fear.
Son's disobedience.
This is a common problem among all people in official circles, and no one is exception.
Zheng Chenglian bowed slightly to the two of them and said: "Steward Cheng, General Xu, this time Dalin Village was able to drive away the wolves. Thanks to the timely arrival of the two troops, our village is naturally grateful." He turned his head and looked at him.
Yu Jiansheng winked.
Yu Jiansheng immediately smiled and said: "Yes, if you two hadn't arrived in time to scare away the wolves, our village would have been difficult to save." He was reluctant to give up, but with a smile on his face: "These ten
We will prepare the remaining fur of the giant wolf in the mountains later, please take it back and present it to the Lord of the City."
Xu Jun's face looked better now, with a faint smile on his serious face.
He led the crowd here for military glory. If he returned empty-handed, it would be a joke, but if he could bring more than ten wolf skins of giant wolves in the mountains with him when he returned, it would be a huge sum of money.
Wealth, and a contribution that no one can erase.
After all, mountain giant wolves usually live in deep mountains, and it is very difficult to hunt one. Obtaining more than ten wolf skins at one time will definitely be a good thing if it is spread.
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across the eyes of Zheng Haotian and the other three, but since this sentence was said by Yu Jiansheng, they did not dare to show any resistance at all. Especially Yu Weihua, when he saw his father's glare, his buttocks
Immediately I felt a dull pain and became calmer.
Butler Cheng smiled slightly and said, "You two are too polite. We didn't do anything this time. We deserve such a generous gift."
He said he felt guilty, but the look on his face was quite calm. There was no trace of guilt at all.
Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Chenglian quickly tried to persuade them in many ways, and it was not until they finally accepted it happily.
Xu Jun's eyes fell on the heads of Yu Weihua and the others and said: "Village Chief Yu, are these three your descendants?"
Yu Jiansheng said quickly: "The three of them are all juniors in the village. One is my son, one is my nephew, and the other is Brother Zheng's son."
Butler Cheng smiled and said, "I heard that Brother Zheng's carpentry skills have been passed down from your father. I wonder if this is the case."
Zheng Haotian bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your praise. I only have a basic understanding of it under my father's guidance."
Zheng Chenglian laughed and said: "Steward Cheng, my son is obsessed with martial arts. He studied martial arts with Village Chief Yu, but he also learned a few tricks of the three-legged cat, which will make you laugh."
Butler Cheng shook his head slightly and said, "If you have a good father and learn all his skills, wouldn't it be far better than becoming a hunter?"
Zheng Chenglian responded repeatedly with a smile on his face.
Butler Cheng pondered for a moment and said: "I'm sorry for accepting your wolf skin. These three little brothers probably haven't become official hunters yet. I think next month, you can take them into the city for assessment.
It’s also a good thing to get the title of hunter.”
A hint of joy flashed in Yu Jiansheng's eyes, and he said: "Thank you very much, Butler Cheng, but none of the three of them have reached the age of eighteen. You see..."
Butler Cheng waved his fat palm and said: "Young people don't have to be ambitious. It's already very difficult for them to survive under the siege of wolves. Let Commander Xu handle this matter."
Xu Jun laughed heartily. He had gained a lot from his visit this time, so he naturally agreed with satisfaction.
