Chapter 183: Veteran
When Ying Feihong said this, he looked distressed, but then he turned around, pointed the finger at Xiong Daxiong Er, pointed at the nose of the two of them and warned: "I tell you, if you see a dog bear, you can't stop the adults from hunting, you are now in our group, you should treat yourself as a human being, you can no longer treat the dog and bear as the same kind, let alone be with them...... Whew......"
It turned out that he was talking spittle, but Xiong Er saw that his fingers were always moving around here, and thought he was teasing himself, "Ahh
A group of people laughed, and Gu Qiluo said: "You deserve it, let you talk to them arrogantly, I tell you, you can be content, if Xiong Er thinks that your finger is a turnip, you think about the consequences." ”
Ying Feihong's face turned white after a "brush", if he was really treated as a radish, his fingers could not be broken by the roots? Because of this fright, this guy finally stopped the excitement just now.
In the next few days, the ginseng team also dug up more than a dozen ginseng trees one after another, Gu Qiluo felt that this harvest was really not much, but fortunately, with the 800-year-old wild ginseng as the base, it was not a trip in vain. Who knew that after asking Huang Wu, they knew that the harvest like theirs was already very rich, and some ginseng picking teams were delayed in the forest for a month or two, and most of the time they could only bring out a dozen ordinary ginseng trees.
Because of Xiao Jiangbei, the arrow god, in the team, Huang Wu's courage also increased. led everyone into the depths of the forest, ready to take advantage of the past few days to do a big job, and then call it a day and go out of the mountain.
In the evening, of course, it is a bonfire barbecue. Seeing those people smiling and busy in front of the bonfire, Gu Qiluo grabbed a handful of hazelnuts and shared them with Xiao Jiangbei. Wild hazelnuts are naturally not like modern ones that have made gaps, although they are also fried, but they are small and hard, originally she regretted that she couldn't eat them, but Xiao Jiangbei next to her saw that she seemed to like to eat this, so she took the initiative to take on the "heavy responsibility" of shelling hazelnuts. At this time, the thumb and forefinger picked up a hazelnut and pinched it gently, and the hazelnut shell shattered, revealing the crisp and fragrant hazelnut fruit inside.
Gu Qiluo sent two hazelnut kernels into Xiao Jiangbei's mouth. Looking at those two magic fingers, he was simply amazed, and muttered, "Which are these two fingers?" This is clearly a pliers, and it is much more precise than the force of the pliers. ”
Xiao Jiangbei smiled softly. Finished chewing the hazelnuts. Only then did he look at the laughing crowd in front of the bonfire and said, "Kira, the ginseng team is the foundation of the medicine village, but I feel that it is really dangerous for them to enter the mountain. Why don't I go back and find some veterans who have already retired, pick the ones with good archery skills, and let them come over as bodyguards, so that I can not only protect these people, but also find a place for the veterans to settle down. After several years of bloody battlefields, in the end, he couldn't even support his family. Alas! The world only knows that those veterans are admirable and lamentable, but they don't know how pitiful they are. ”
"What? Can you find such a veteran? ”
Gu Qiluo rarely heard Xiao Jiangbei mention the army. When I heard this at this time, I couldn't help but be stunned, but I heard my husband say softly: "Why can't you find it?" The soldiers who have retired over the years have a register in the military department, and if they move around, they have to report to the local government, so it is easy to find. These veterans are actually not very old, some may not be forty years old, because the emperor is benevolent and righteous, and feels that at their age, it is easy to die in battle on the frontier, so as long as it is not from the war, they are allowed to go home, but these people only know how to fight on the battlefield, and when they go back, they have no skills, most of them are reduced to coolies, and it is good to have a few acres of thin fields, so if there is such a job, they should be grateful. ”
Xiao Jiangbei can be said to be an indifferent person, in addition to his family and Gu Qiluo, he is also a paralyzed face even to his friends, which Cheng Tong can prove for him, since Lord Cheng came to Liaodong, although he has fought side by side with Xiao Jiangbei many times, he thinks that the two are also close friends, but he has never seen him laugh.
However, at this moment, when it came to those former comrades-in-arms, his expression and tone couldn't help but be a little gloomy, although he hadn't even seen most of them, but when he thought of the warriors who had defended their families and the country on the bloody battlefield ended up like this, how could he feel better in his heart? Therefore, in the past few days, he has been hunting ginseng in the mountains and forests, and he has such an idea.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
His hand was suddenly held hard by Gu Qiluo, Xiao Jiangbei looked at his wife with some surprise, but heard her say solemnly: "These are rare talents, if you had told me earlier, I would have ordered someone to recruit them a long time ago." ”
"Well, actually...... Most of the veterans who have retired are wounded and disabled, and there are not many people who can come back from retirement intact. Xiao Jiangbei sighed, for fear that Gu Qiluo's hopes would be greater and more disappointed, but he heard his wife say without hesitation: "Even if they are disabled, these people have the strength, character, loyalty, and courage, and they are also rare talents." Okay, let's discuss this matter after we go back, try our best to come up with a charter, you are responsible for finding people, I will let Zeng Yuan go to recruit, and then assign them to various places, or farming, or bodyguards, or even inns and restaurants, and even coachmen and pawns, in short, even if they still have to work, but I will never treat them harshly, and the monthly money will be given to the most generous, and there will be no shortage of money and things during the holidays, if there are other buildings, you can tell me, you will do your best to satisfy. ”
"Kira." Xiao Jiangbei was stunned, holding his wife's hand, and then he was stunned for a long time before he said, "You don't have to do so much for me." ”
"Joke, who did it for you?" Gu Qiluo glanced at Xiao Jiangbei: "I just couldn't think of this before, but now that you have pointed out the way, if I don't know how to follow up, wouldn't I be stupid?" What else do you want to talk about making the industry of Xiao Gu Villa all over the world? The veterans fought so hard that they didn't deserve a miserable end, so I helped them support their families. And they helped me do things and work, and solved my big problems, this is a good helper from the sky, and not one, it's a group, those disabled veterans, I will always arrange their place appropriately. We can't let the veterans who are desperately defending the country shed blood and tears, can we? ”
"Bleeding and tears?" Xiao Jiangbei muttered these words, his face gradually became excited, and he suddenly clenched Gu Qiluo's hand, and said in a deep voice: "You are amazing, Qiluo, how can you be such a woman......
With a "flutter", Xinghua and Chunyu beside the two couldn't help laughing, and Chunyu whispered: "Master, this stupid person, when I was excited, I said the wrong thing again." Xinghua glanced at her, but she also pursed her lips and smiled.
Sure enough, Gu Qiluo immediately exploded, grabbed Xiao Jiangbei's hand and gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean?" Machismo again? Why can't a woman have such a mind? Could it be that since ancient times, it has been all you men who have made achievements? We don't have a heroine in the middle of the girl? Is it fart that women don't let their eyebrows go? Also, even if most of us women stay at home, that's not what you men restrict? If both men and women were free to work, do you think we women would be worse than you men? ”
"Okay, Kira, I said the wrong thing." Xiao Jiangbei knew that he had touched his wife's scales, and hurriedly begged for mercy pitifully: "Am I short-sighted and narrow-minded?" You're right, women teach their husbands and children, this is a great merit, there are many, many smart women, women are very good, they can hold up half the sky, no, most of the sky, is it? ”
Zhong Chunfeng, who was not far away, covered his forehead and complained to Ying Feihong beside him sadly: "My lord is also the respect of the Hou Ye, why can't this husband cheer up?" Men are inherently stronger than women, this is the truth of ancient and modern times, how did women become the pillars of the sky in his mouth? Where do you put us men? ”
Ying Feihong was taking a piece of half-baked meat next to Xiong Er and feeding it to Xiong Er, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "Who dares to speak in front of grandma?" Haven't you always argued? Then you go to confess to grandma, where is the poisonous tongue and majesty on weekdays? ”
Zhong Chunfeng immediately sat upright, and snorted coldly: "Cheng Tong didn't dare to argue with grandma, that is a person who can speak better than me, and now I have come up by myself?" In Grandma's words, what's it called? Looking for abuse, right? ”
After the two finished speaking, they laughed together, and suddenly heard an envious voice beside them: "Doctor Ying, this bear is really majestic, why aren't you afraid?" This fur is so black and shiny, can I touch it? ”
When the two looked back, they saw that it was a young man of eighteen or nineteen, who did not know his name, but knew that he was a member of the team. So Ying Feihong said generously: "Touch, touch, these two guys are very docile, if you like it, tease them and play with you, don't be afraid when the time comes." ”
When the young man heard this, he seemed to be happy or something, and he couldn't stop stroking Xiong Da Xiong Er's body, and suddenly saw the half-baked leg of mutton in Ying Feihong's hand, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Doctor Ying, how can you give them this half-cooked meat?" It's going to have diarrhea. ”
"Yo, dare to love you, you still have a rich belly. Can you have diarrhea by eating some raw meat? See? The one over there, the Zhenbei Waiting Master, the young god of war, you know? People come from rich backgrounds, so their stomachs are not so squeamish. Zhong Chunfeng's poisonous tongue came up again, and the young man who said something was embarrassed, and he drooped his head and didn't dare to speak.
Ying Feihong glanced at Zhong Chunfeng and snorted coldly: "Don't you dare to talk to grandma, what are you angry about?" After speaking, he turned back to the young man and smiled: "It doesn't matter, although these two bears grew up in the General Military Mansion, our adults and mates did not let them lose their wildness, and they usually eat more live chickens and ducks, and this bit of meat is nothing."
