Chapter 33: Release
Chen Cheng also knows that it is not good to raise tigers, because ........ Tigers are protected animals by the state, and private individuals can't keep them!
He squatted down, rubbed a few little tigers with tiger heads, and said, "When you grow up, I will put you in the mountains, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Meow~", the little tiger rubbed his palm with his head, and then stretched out his tongue to lick it. Felines have barbs on their tongues that lick like an iron brush. Of course, the little tiger's tongue is not so terrifying, and it is a little comfortable to add it.
He grabbed the three little ones into the cage, added a handful of black beans to Gollum, and headed outside. Outside, in the open space in the center of the city, it has turned into a sea of joy. The soldiers cleaned their prey, then either put it in the pot or barbecued it, and the whole city was filled with the smell of food.
Chen Cheng moved dozens of jars of wine out, and said in his heart: Come twice again, then there will really be no drop left.
When they saw that there was wine to drink, everyone cheered. After drinking, many Hu people who joined in began to sing and dance around the bonfire. Looking at the warm atmosphere in the field, although Chen Cheng had a smile on his face, he remained calm in his heart. The joys and sorrows of human beings are not exactly the same, just as he still doesn't like to drink much even though he can get drunk for a thousand glasses now.
Looking at the Wuhuan people dancing Hu Xuan, Chen Cheng began to wander again. It is said that after the advent of gunpowder weapons, the Hu people became synonymous with being able to sing and dance, which is also interesting to think about. Most of the people around the campfire were men, mostly young and strong, and there were few women and children.
"Wenzheng, what are you thinking?"
Tian Yu handed over a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Why does it seem to have something on your mind?" Don't worry about it so much, come on, have a drink first. ”
Chen Cheng turned the wine glass in his palm, looked at him left and right, and said, "You have to go farther to hunt tomorrow." ”
Tian Yu agreed: "Take advantage of the snow to hunt more prey, otherwise it will be difficult to survive the winter this year." ”
Chen Cheng said: "How is the matter of borrowing grain?" ”
The smile on Tian Yu's face gradually disappeared, he sighed, and said, "There are some, but not much." In the past two years, there have been wars everywhere, and there is no surplus food in other counties. ”
"Relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on water and water, or relying on yourself." Chen Cheng said: "It's really not good, I'll take someone to the grassland to grab a handful." ”
Tian Yu smiled dumbly and said, "Those Hu people themselves are poor to death, how can there be anything for you to rob?" ”
"Grab some cattle and sheep."
"If you send fewer troops, you can't fight, but if you send more troops....... The little cattle and sheep that I grabbed were not enough to eat. ”
"That's right," Chen Cheng looked at the bonfire not far away, and said thoughtfully: "You can't go out here for two or three months in winter, so you need to prepare some more fuel." When I have time, I'll go around and see if there are any open-pit coal mines. ”
Tian Yu said: "Coal mine? What are you looking for that? Is it to make iron? ”
"Burn it in winter," Chen Cheng snapped his fingers and said, "Speaking of burning coal, coal stoves and ondols should also be prepared." ”
“........ So what? ”
"You'll know when you get it out."
Tian Yu's face showed a look of envy, "Wenzheng always has many ideas that others don't have, which makes me admire it very much." ”
Chen Cheng laughed and said, "Haha, in fact, I didn't think of it, but I didn't dare to put gold on my face." ”
"It's humility, and I'm never enough."
In the more than a month since, Chen Cheng has a lot to do every day. The finishing up of the sanatorium can be done in person, but the compilation of the health system and the regulations for the treatment of injuries and illnesses can only be done in person. Apart from him, there are not many literate people among the four or five thousand people inside and outside the city. In everything, as long as it is related to words, he has to do it himself.
And although paper can be made in this era, bamboo slips are used the most. He had a lot of rice paper in his hands, but for preservation and other reasons, he chose bamboo slips and wood chips as the carriers of his writing. Every day, you need to take a carving knife and a brush and write out the things you want to write on bamboo slips and wood chips, word by word.
Rao is that his physical strength is infinite, and his speed is slow enough to make people jump. At the beginning, he also wrote honestly on the bamboo slips, and he couldn't stand it after a few days, although the official script of this era was a little simplified compared to the text of the Spring and Autumn Period, but it was still complicated and terrible. Later, Chen Cheng categorically abandoned the writing of this era and used the most comfortable and familiar simplified characters.
Whenever it was time to deal with copywriting, he admired those sages very much. In particular, Sima Qian and Ban Gu, who wrote history books, how could they write those tomes on bamboo and wood chips? But when you think about how many people have written such a book in their lifetime, it is also relieved.
Although the sages are worthy of admiration, they should still be lazy when they should be lazy. He hated the writing of this era more and more, and vowed that if he had a piece of land in the future, the first thing he would do was to reform the text!
Fortunately, there are also interesting times, when you are dizzy in writing, you can go to pick up three tigers, you can ride a grunt to hunt, you can also go down to the river to catch some big crabs and shrimp to eat, steaming is good, grilling is also good, sprinkled with garlic and pepper, it tastes great.
In general, the material barrenness of this era was even more barren spiritually, but he did not find it hard. Happiness in suffering is his strength, besides, whether it is bitter or not still has to be compared, compared with most people in this era, he is already living a fairy-like life.
Even the emperor doesn't have a soda to drink, right?
Watching Zhao Yun practice his spear skills one by one under the tree, Chen Cheng pulled out a can of soda and shouted, "Zilong, the sun is so big, don't practice it yet?" ”
Zhao Yun just didn't hear it, and was engrossed in the shot. His expression was extremely focused, and beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead and body. After a long time, he put away his spear, went to the eaves of the porch, picked up a bowl and poured rice soup. Rice soup is made with a small amount of broken rice, and some salt is added to it, which can replenish water well.
After he finished drinking and sat down, Chen Cheng said with a smile: "When the son gives birth to a high ancestor, how can the Marquis of Wanhu be enough?" ”
If you were born in the era of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, the Marquis of Wanhu is nothing.
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Now that the four seas are not appeased, there is an opportunity for meritorious service!" ”
"Yes," Chen Cheng lengthened his tone and said, "There is a chance." ”
He looked at Zhao Yun, thought for a while, and said, "Zilong thinks that as a general, which ability is the most important?" Is it undue courage or resourcefulness? ”
Zhao Yun said without thinking: "I am a rider, I should be a vertical and horizontal decision, and I will move forward!" ”
After that, he asked rhetorically, "What does Wen Zheng think?" ”
"Me," Chen Cheng said slowly, "I didn't think about it so much at the beginning, I just thought that my force value was high enough. Well, I'll tell you a joke. In the "Historical Records" written by Ma Qian of Taishi Company, there is an article dedicated to assassins, which records an assassin named Nie Zheng. In order to avenge his friend, Nie Zheng entered the Han capital Yang Zhai in broad daylight, and assassinated Xia tired on the steps with the momentum of the white rainbow, and then killed dozens of guards who were tired of chivalry. ”
As he spoke, Chen Cheng's expression became serious, and he said, "Then he cut off his face, gouged out his eyes, and then committed suicide by caesarean section." You say, can such a strong attack in broad daylight be considered an assassin? ”
Zhao Yundao: "Good man! ”
Chen Cheng laughed a few times dryly, and said: "I also know that there is an assassination fist called the Beidou God Fist, every time it kills people head-on, is there no witness, can it be called a perfect assassination?" ”
“..........”
"By the way, the weather is going to get cold in another month, and I have already found an open-pit coal mine in the mountains to the north, and I am going to take people to dig coal in two days."
Zhao Yun sat quietly, waiting for him to continue.
"Just tomorrow, please have a meal, there will probably be no such opportunity in the future." Chen Cheng raised his fingers and said, "Tian Yu, you, Wei Ran, Zhao Si, Ding Yuan, Jin Sanhuan, Guan Shanhe, plus some other people, almost twenty people." ”
He stood up, looked at the courtyard where he lived, and said, "Twenty people....... It's a bit hard to put it here, just over there in the school yard, there's a big place over there, enough to fit dozens of people. ”
When he had finished speaking, he whistled, and three tigers with a lot of swelling swooped out from behind, ran to him, and pounced on his legs. Chen Cheng picked one up with one hand, making a "purring" sound in his arms, and the remaining one bit his trouser leg and was so anxious.
Zhao Yun said: "The more they grow, the bigger they get, I'm afraid it's not good to put them in the city." ”
Chen Cheng smiled: "Don't worry, when the snow melts after the Chinese New Year, throw them back into the mountain." ”
When Chen Cheng went out to play with a few tigers, Zhao Yun suddenly frowned, and then raised his arm in confusion. For some reason, he felt as if his strength had increased. But how can strength grow out of thin air? Thinking of this, Zhao Yun shook his head, picked up the wooden bowl, and prepared to pour some more rice soup.
"Click", the wooden bowl was pinched out of a crack. As a martial artist who has never stopped exercising martial arts, Zhao Yun was really surprised at this moment, he just used his usual strength, but ........
He raised his head and looked at Chen Cheng's back in the distance, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Gollum doesn't seem to like the three tigers very much, and when the little tigers play by the river, they run away. If the tiger pounces, it will scare them with its hooves. Chen Cheng stripped naked, jumped into the water, and caught two fish in a short time. After being thrown ashore, the little tigers stopped fighting, pounced on them and grabbed the bites, and in a short time they ate the two fish cleanly.
After eating, they crouch on the shore with their eyes in their eyes and make a "whoop" sound. After opening up a lot, their cries have also changed a bit. Chen Cheng took a deep breath, dived into the water, caught a large crab, and threw it at the shore.
The largest tiger jumped to its feet and bit the crab in the air. After hitting the ground, it pressed the crab with its front paws, and with a few clicks of its sharp teeth, it tore apart the hard shell of the crab. Looking at the demeanor of the king of beasts that this future beast has revealed, Chen Cheng said in his heart: No wonder Zhao Zilong said it several times, tigers are really too scary, and after the beginning of spring, they have to be released into the wild.
