Everyone was so happy that they were rewarded, and when they returned to the inn that day, the five people who were rewarded were all proudly showing off the seal letter to Ma Tianjun, and they also called each other adults.

After playing for a while, Liu Renyu told everyone to be quiet, he had something to say, and when everyone heard this, they immediately became silent and waited for Liu Renyu to speak.

"We killed the northern captives, and also got the official status, and now we are going to Zhenbei Fort, have you heard, that Zhenbei Fort is said to be a military fort, in fact, it has been abandoned for many years, and it has been looted by the Mongols many times, and it is difficult to say whether there is anyone else. We have to recruit people to follow us to Zhenbei Fort, if we don't recruit people, who will we let go to Tuntian? ”

"It is reasonable to say that the general adult is reasonable, but it is not difficult to recruit people, for example, our family, except for me, we are all homeless, as long as we give a bowl of rice to eat, two-legged people are everywhere, it is not difficult to find." He Ergou, whose family is all homeless, came up with an idea.

"You said this well, the homeless people are indeed easy to find, but the problem is that although I am a general, the silver money is only 120 taels from the captives, and there is no food, so what can I use to recruit people?" Liu Renyu said depressedly.

"My lord, look at what you said, without you, how would we be where we are today. My bounty is to take it. Li Jiye saw that Liu Renyu was in trouble, and hurriedly made a contribution.

"We are also willing to offer a silver reward." The remaining 3 people are not far behind.

"Thank you for this, I borrowed it, I borrowed 90 taels from each of you, and I will pay it back to you when I have money." Before Liu Renyu borrowed it, he naturally wanted to talk about a day to repay the money.

"Can we still trust you, my lord!? See the outside, see the outside. Everyone hurriedly said that they could trust Liu Renyu.

After talking about borrowing money, Liu Renyu started the idea of horses again.

"The Mongolian horses we captured are all good war horses, and it will cost too much money to raise them, I mean, let's keep one of them, and the other 6 horses, how about we pull them out and sell them?"

"Take the general lord, you have the final say on what to do, I will wait for An to dare to object." Everyone said in unison.

"Okay, Jiye, tomorrow you and Desheng will take the horse to Yan'an Mansion to sell, this is a good horse, don't sell it too cheaply. Otherwise, our blood will be left in vain. ”

"Well, leave this matter to me and Desheng, you can rest assured."

"In that case, you should move quickly, and we will meet in 5 days, so go."

"Okay, Desheng, let's go." Li Jiye spoke, and then led Yang Desheng out of the inn.

After Li Jiye and Yang Desheng left, Liu Renyu asked He Ergou again: "Where do craftsmen generally live in the fort?" ”

"If you go back to adults, you all live in Xicheng District."

"Ergou, Tie Niu, follow me to Xicheng District to find a blacksmith."

"Yes, sir."

Liu Renyu and a group of three people walked slowly all the way through the market, looking for a blacksmith. In general, blacksmiths are fairly easy to find because their workshop is too conspicuous.

When, dang, dang, dang, bursts of percussion sounds, a middle-aged man with half-white beard, shirtless body is knocking on a piece of red subway block over and over again, against the backdrop of the fire, although the middle-aged man is thin, his arms are exposed with green tendons, and his muscles are solid.

Looking up along the lean body, I wiped it, and Liu Renyu saw a melon seed face full of melancholy, wrinkles, and extremely haggard, but with sharp edges and angularities, and a high nose and deep eyes.

These eyes, this look, are very similar to Wang Leehom in later generations, but it is just a middle-aged uncle's version.

But the middle-aged uncle who said that the iron-striking uncle saw Liu Renyu and others surrounding him, and thought it was a guest, so he stopped his work, wiped his sweat with a black linen cloth around his neck, and asked, "A few military masters, what's the matter with finding the forehead?" ”

"May I ask your last name?" Liu Renyu asked.

"What?"

"What's your name?"

"Ah, it's called Zhao Datie."

This name makes quite a theoretical connection to practice.

"What the hell are the military masters looking for, are they still busy?"

"Do you know how to make weapons, armor?"

"We are craftsmen, and we are in the military fort, so naturally we will, what's the matter, a few military masters want to make blades, and the armor can't be done?"

"Yes, yes, but it's not made right now, I hope to be able to hire you to Zhenbei Fort to be my armorer."

"What is the armorer, why do you want to go with you to the north fort of Raushzi Town?"

"It's time to show my identity," Liu Renyu thought to himself.

"I am the new general of Zhenbei Fort, and I am ordered by the guerrilla general to go to Tuntian, where we lack a weapon-maker, that is, the armorer I said, so I here, please come over."

"Zhenbei Fort has heard that it has long been trampled by the Mongolian Tatars, where to do it, it is better to strike iron here with peace of mind."

Seeing that Liang asked him not to move his identity as the general manager, Liu Renyu had no choice but to use his trump card, only to see him stretch out a finger and put it straight in front of Zhao Datie.

"What are you doing, sir?"

"One tael of silver a month, full salary, please go to Zhenbei Fort to do things, how much money can you earn here a month, do you have a family, can you support them? Can it bring them a good day? ”

Liu Renyu asked a few questions in a row, which can be regarded as letting Zhao Datie find a topic, he was first shocked by the salary of one or two silver a month, and then launched a feeling for Liu Renyu's last two questions.

In the end, he said that he had a daughter, named Zhao Cuizhi, who was not at home at the moment, picking up dry firewood, broken cinders and other things outside, so that he could come home and burn the stove.

Liu Renyu took a look at Zhao Tiezhu's prosperous beauty, and couldn't help but have a trace of expectation for Zhao Cuizhi.

"Since you work here all day long, and you can only continue to live forever, it is better to follow us to the pier, I will give you a tael of silver every month, pay a year's salary first, and then sign a paperwork, what do you think?" Liu Renyu said.

"If the general adult doesn't give up, he is willing to go, but the things that the neighborhood hires to do, the amount has to be done before they can leave, and we can't lose our reputation."

"What you said is that you will do what you say, and it will take you a few days to do it."

"Three days, at least three days, before it can be done, can you wait?"

"Give you 5 days, and we'll come back to you in 5 days." After speaking, Liu Renyu planned to turn around and leave.

The generals of the Duntai army were about to return, and suddenly their eyes lit up, and a beautiful woman in ancient costume Shi Shiran walked over.

This beauty, with a melon seed face, a high nose and deep eyes, is beautiful, and in terms of posture alone, she is still above the fourth lady of the Du family seen earlier.

When a group of Qiu Ba saw such a stunner, they all seemed to be nailed to the ground, and they couldn't move half a minute anymore, and when this beautiful woman spoke, everyone was very happy, but this was because this beautiful woman called Zhao Datie Da Tie Da Ti Da Tie Ti

"Dad, I'm back."

"Cuizhi, you're back, come, come, get to know each other, these military masters want to pay a salary to Zhenbei Fort to do things, and give one or two pieces of silver a month, hurry up and meet these military masters."

Zhao Cuizhi works with her father all the year round, and has many opportunities to show up, which can be regarded as well-informed, seeing Liu Renyu and other young men, one is not blushing, the other is not ashamed, and she is still happy when she meets the men, she thinks she is a little sister, and Liu Renyu, Zhang Tieniu and He Ergou and others are called brothers, and her natural public relations attributes make Liu Renyu's mouth smile can't close. Just saw above, Liu Renyu had already promised Zhao Cuizhi a red head rope.

Everyone talked to Zhao Cuizhi for a while, and then reluctantly returned to the inn.

Along the way, the focus of everyone's discussion is naturally the peerless beauty Zhao Cuizhi, Zhang Tieniu has always been straightforward, and when he expresses it, it is nothing more than "that little lady is good-looking and tight, and Tie Niu has only seen anything in his life." ”

He Ergou is older, and his experience is more complicated, what he said: "Zhao Cuizhi is going to Zhenbei Fort in the future, but you have to be more attentive, make more meritorious contributions, make more money, maybe you can get the moon close to the water and marry her home" and so on.

Liu Renyu's main firepower is focused on which star Zhao Cuizhi looks like in later generations, and after careful deletion, he decided that Zhao Cuizhi is very similar to Tong Liya, yes, Tong Liya.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and they were talking happily, and Liu Renyu saw a beggar sitting on the side of the road, who was in tattered clothes and was so thin that he was not human-shaped, and he was sitting there, lifeless, out of place with the bustling crowd around him.

"Alas, it's also pitiful," Liu Renyu was moved by compassion, and he casually threw a cake wrapped in an oiled paper bag in front of the little beggar, and then he was about to leave, but he was confused by the next scene.

Ordinary beggars have eaten the last meal but not the next, so when they see the food, they will turn into Super Saiyans and snatch and grab, but he doesn't have such motivation, he just gets up slowly and walks silently towards this paper bag.

It stands to reason that this beggar is so slow that the beggar next to him will definitely come to snatch it, but although the beggars around him are eager to try, they dare not move.

"Amazing, weird! This little beggar is really not simple. Liu Renyu became interested in this unique beggar who was unique and feared by other beggars.

Liu Renyu walked a few steps, picked up the oiled paper bag that was thrown on the ground, and handed it to the little beggar. The little beggar took it and thanked him, his voice was cold and emotionless, his eyes were cold and lifeless, and he exuded the breath of the living dead.

"This is a man with a story." Liu Renyu's interest is growing.

"Don't be a beggar, you can come with me." Liu Renyu said so, he thought that this beggar would go with him.

"Let's go, then." The beggar's face did not change, and after speaking, he followed behind Liu Renyu, as if he was born to be Liu Renyu's follower.

"Interesting, interesting, go back and cross-examine again." Liu Renyu's interest is growing.

When he returned to the inn that day, Liu Renyu asked the beggar to take a bath first, otherwise the beggar would be as black as an African, his face would not be clear, and the smell on his body would be big.

The beggar washed it as he said, and then put on a new set of clothes, and the painting style immediately changed.

"Well, well, this guy is cleaned up, but it still has a bit of Langjun's appearance, not bad, not bad." Liu Renyu saw that this little beggar had a good face, and he had a good impression.

"What's your name?" In his own room, Liu Renyu asked the beggar.

"Simon Cave."

".............., why is it called that?"

"When Grandpa picked up the forehead, it was in the Ximen Cave. There was no name, and grandpa picked it up in Ximen Dongzi, so he gave it the name of Ximen Dongzi. ”

"And what about your grandfather? I didn't see him, or I would have had to bring him with me. ”

"The military master doesn't have to look for the grandfather, the grandfather is dead."

"Oh, how did the old man die?" Liu Renyu asked casually.

Hearing this question, Ximen Dongzi's body shook suddenly, his facial muscles twitched twice, and suddenly exuded a colder aura, and he said in a low voice: "Last year, it didn't rain in the thief, there was no food in winter, and even the bark couldn't be found. He said, 'If you don't eat, how can you live?' Grandpa said. ”

Speaking of this, Ximen Dongzi's body trembled even more, and his tone began to tremble, "Grandpa said, 'There is something to eat, after the forehead dies, there is still some meat on the body, save a little to eat, boil until spring, there are wild vegetables, there are mountain goods, you can always continue to live without dying.'" When he heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, what are you talking about, you still have to give you a pension and send you to the end of your life, how can you eat your meat, you would rather die than be a beast." Grandpa slapped you on the forehead and said, "Stupid thing, I have raised you for 17 years, how easy it is, I knew that there was today, and I would have told you to die in the cave of the city gate." Listen to grandpa's words, live well, burn and bury the rest of what you eat, set up a grave, and if you are still alive, burn a paper for the New Year's holidays. Listen, grandpa is in your belly, don't blame you, blame the thief if you want to blame. If you don't follow the quota, we will cut off our righteousness, and when you die, we will not recognize you. After grandpa finished speaking, he hit the wall and died, the meat will not rot in winter, save a little, eat a little every day, the people around see the forehead, they are hiding far away, the wild dog to the forehead to grab food, the forehead bites the wild dog, eat the wild dog, grandpa's meat can only be eaten, no matter who can not move. And just like that, he survived. ”
