Practicing is easy to say, but when it comes to practice it can be confusing and difficult to get started.
Ding Yunyi has never practiced military training before and has no idea where to start. Tomorrow he will officially divide the military training into two groups as discussed, but he has no clue at all.
It's really frustrating.
I thought that after traveling to this era, relying on my mastery of historical knowledge, it would not be difficult to work as an official and part-time official, but who would have thought that now I can't even provide basic food and clothing.
He did have some silver that Zou Weilian rewarded him with, but what was the use of just having it? There was no place on the island where he could spend it.
The distraught Ding Yunyi couldn't stay in the military camp any longer.
The brothers all went out to sea to fish, and even Xiao Yifeng and Bao Juhua also went with them, leaving only themselves. That was what Hong Tiaoyuan meant, saying that he would make good plans in the military camp, but he had been alone for half a day.
Nothing was planned.
I walked out of the military camp and walked casually, not knowing exactly where I was going.
Suddenly, several children cheered from the front. Ding Yunyi was curious and walked over.
Sure enough, a few children caught two big birds. Ding Yunyi had never seen such birds before, so he asked casually: "What kind of birds are these?"
"Grass heron." A child said without looking back: "Catch this bird, pluck its feathers and burn it. It's very fragrant."
Ding Yunyi said "Oh", suddenly his heart moved, and he said in a negotiating tone: "Is it okay to sell these two birds to me?"
"Sell?" Several children turned their heads at the same time: "No!"
Ding Yunyi was startled, and quickly took out the silver from his arms: "Look, I have money, and I don't want it from you for free."
"Silver?" The leading child scratched his head, took the silver, looked at it, and then gave it back to Ding Yunyi with disdain: "What is this? We don't want it!"
Ding Yunyi was a little dumbfounded. When he thought about it again, the people on this island lived in extreme poverty. They even lived a primitive life of bartering. Not to mention that money was not of much use on this island. Some people even spent their entire lives without it.
I have never seen what Yin Zi looks like, let alone several children.
Seeing that several children didn't care about his own money, Ding Yunyi felt a little helpless. As an adult, he couldn't just grab the things from the children's hands, right?
He shook his head and was about to leave when a woman's voice suddenly sounded from behind him: "Ahu, are you being naughty again?"
Hearing the familiar voice, he turned around and met the eyes of the woman behind him. Two voices came out of their mouths at the same time:
"A Xi?"
"Master Inspector?"
It turned out that it was Axi who had taught him how to fish at sea.
When the words "Inspection Master" came to his ears, Ding Yunyi was greatly embarrassed. He was doing a small inspection, and there was no connection with the word "Sir" at all: "Miss Axi, I am not an adult. That day Hong Ba was always
Just joking with you, just call me Xiao Ding."
"Brother Ding." Ah Xi pursed his lips and smiled.
"Sister, who is he?" The child named "Ah Hu" came up and asked.
"This is Brother Ding, our new patrolman from Penghu." Ah Xi pulled the child to her side: "Brother Ding, this is my younger brother Ahu."
Two siblings? Then things will be easier to handle. Ding Yunyi's mind moves very quickly.
"Sister, we caught two grass herons, and we just brought them back for you to burn for us to eat. Brother Ding said he wanted to ask us to buy them." A Hu pointed at the grass herons caught in his companion's hands and said.
"Buy?" Ah Xi said with a straight face: "Brother Ding is the same as Mr. Hong. He is here to protect us from pirates. He asked you if you want two grass herons and why don't you give it to him?"
"Hmph!" Ah Hu snorted in his nose: "Every time pirates and those strange people come, Mr. Hong and the others have run away long ago. They have never protected us before!"
Ding Yunyi's face suddenly turned red.
It seems that although Hong Tiaoyuan and his brothers get along well with the fishermen in Penghu, when it comes to suppressing bandits, Koubei is not doing so well.
Ah Xi smiled quietly, and then straightened up his face: "Be obedient, Brother Ding is different from Hongba, and grass herons are not a rare thing. You can just try to catch two of them tomorrow. Sister, go home and cook
Fish soup for you to drink."
Ah Hu seemed to be quite afraid of his sister. He murmured and took the grass egret from his friend, and angrily handed it to Ding Yunyi: "Here you go."
Ding Yunyi felt a little embarrassed. It would not be easy to catch these two grass egrets. They didn't need money. It's always bad to owe children things. After thinking about it, he came up with an idea:
"Ah Hu, who said we can't fight pirates? We will have drills tomorrow, and we will fight pirates after we train. So, you gave me two grass egrets today, how about I invite you to watch our drills tomorrow?
?”
After all, it is the nature of children. Upon hearing this, Ahu and his friends suddenly became excited, and they all opened their eyes wide, "Really?"
"How could I, a dignified patrol inspector, lie to children like you?" Ding Yunyi said with a smile: "But we have to agree first that we are only allowed to watch and not to make loud noises."
"Sure!" Ah Hu nodded vigorously: "We promise!"
Seeing his brother's excitement, Ah Xi laughed again and asked Ah Hu to take his friends to play first. He asked, "Brother Ding, what do you want Cao Lu to do?"
"Eat."
Ding Yunyi's answer made Ah Xi startled for a moment. Ding Yunyi then smiled and said: "It's really eating, but my eating is very different from other people's eating. It will come in handy during practice tomorrow."
Although Ah Xi didn't understand, she thought it was right for an official to say this.
Ding Yunyi wanted to go back, but suddenly realized that he didn't know the way back.
It’s no wonder that Ding Yunyi is a road addict. He has to walk dozens of times to remember a slightly remote road.
Ah Xi seemed to notice Ding Yunyi's embarrassment, and smiled sweetly: "Brother Ding, let's drop by and go back together."
"Hey, hey." Ding Yunyi wished she could say that.
"Where are your parents?" Ding Yunyi asked after walking for a while and had nothing to say.
Ah Xi suddenly fell silent for a moment, then whispered: "A few years ago, the great pirate Oni Omaru came from Fuso Country. When he arrived on the island, his men got into an argument with my father and mother over some trivial matters. My father has a violent temper.
, refused to admit defeat, and as a result, Oniomaru killed my father. My mother fought hard with them, but was also killed by Oniomaru..."
Ding Yunyi opened his mouth. He didn't expect that this girl who loved to laugh so much would have such a sad story. He had asked the wrong question.
I didn't know how to comfort him, so I thought for a long time before I managed to say: "Axi, don't worry, if Kiohmaru comes again in the future, I will definitely kill him to avenge your parents!"
"Really?" Ah Xi raised her head and asked with surprise and expectation.
