Volume 17 Chapter 57 The New Functions of Tun Wei (Medium) (Three Watches, Thank You for the Great Reward for the Death of the Twins)
Although this journey is quite difficult, it is nothing for the tunwei who ploughs in the fields all the year round, and in the evening, nearly half of the journey has been completed, it is naturally not advisable to rush to the night on this rugged mountain road, Luo Zongshan decided to find a place to prop up the camp tent, bury the pot to make food, and rest for one night before leaving.
He was about to order someone to find a camping place, when Lao Xie, who was in charge of opening the road in front, suddenly ran back and shouted, "Boss, I found a pack of wolves in front." “
A pack of wolves! When Luo Zongshan heard this, he was startled, but when he saw Lao Xie's expression, he didn't look like he was afraid, and he couldn't help but wonder: "How many?" “
Lao Xie replied excitedly: "About a dozen." “
When Luo Zongshan heard this, he almost kicked it, he said with contempt: "Why are you running back with more than a dozen heads, don't you have more than 100 people under your command, and you are afraid of more than a dozen wolves, you are holding knives and guns in your hands, not burning sticks." “
When Lao Xie heard this, he said embarrassedly: "No, boss, there is a forest in front, I'm afraid that the brothers won't be able to let that group of wolves run away." “
When Luo Zongshan heard this, he couldn't help but be curious: "What do you mean, did you find the wolves, but the wolves didn't find you?" “
Lao Xie thought for a while and hesitated: "Maybe I found out, but they were eating there, and they didn't pay attention to us, and they didn't mean to run away." “
It turned out that this was the case, Luo Zongshan couldn't help but burst out with a huge local saying: "You are a melon, say it earlier." “
After speaking, he turned directly to the back and yelled: "Stop, stop, everyone with weapons come here, hurry up, kill the wolf." “
At his voice, the convoy quickly stopped, and hundreds of men in formal clothes surrounded him, shouting: "Where, where, where is the wolf?" “
Luo Zongshan frowned when he saw this posture, and now even he felt that his gang was too untrained, chaotic, and had no discipline at all, especially some people actually ran over with a spear or a longbow, what can they do here, and kill the wolf, don't be scratched by the wolf.
He couldn't help but yell, "The one with the knife will follow me, and the others will stay." “
With that, he turned around and followed Lao Xie forward.
Although these men were in a hurry, none of them dared to disobey his orders, and soon about three hundred men with knives followed them and walked forward, while the others obediently ran back to the convoy.
A group of people walked along the road out for about half a mile, and a row of wide woods appeared in front of them, this forest was not very dense, and somehow in the middle, a large piece was missing, and the path passed through the woods from this piece, and the grass on both sides of the road was half a man high, and more than a hundred guards with waist knives were standing in a semicircle, hiding behind the grass with their waists.
Luo Zongshan raised his hand and asked the people behind him to stop, and then followed Lao Xie Mao to walk forward gently, carefully sticking out his head to see that there was indeed a group of wolves eating something in the middle of the path dozens of steps ahead.
He looked at the woods on both sides, pulled Lao Xie again, and the two walked back together.
He directly divided the ten hundred households into two waves, and then ordered: "Lao Xie, you take half of the people to the left, Lao Zhang, you take half of the people to the right, surround from the woods, form a big circle, I shout, everyone will go together, don't let this group of wolves escape." “
Hearing this, all the hundreds of households nodded, and led people to drill into the woods on both sides, and soon formed a huge encirclement, the wolves in the middle seemed to have found something, and frequently looked up to the left and right, but they didn't seem to have encountered human beings, and they were not very afraid, and it was impossible for them to let them drop and run away after eating half of the prey, so they still carefully gathered there to eat, and there was no intention of escaping.
When Luo Zongshan saw that the encirclement was almost formed, he immediately stood up and shouted: "Up." “
Suddenly, more than 400 people held a bright waist knife, pushed through the grass, flashed out from behind the tree, and swarmed up, and the dozen or so wolves knew that they were afraid at this time, and they scattered and fled, but it was too late.
A flash of knife light, the edge of the woods, the side of the path, immediately remembered a miserable howl of "woo", and soon the miserable howl disappeared, replaced by the sound of a group of people lively discussion.
Luo Zongshan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it for a while, he thought about it while walking to the middle, and when he saw those wild wolves that were cut down and covered in mouths, he finally remembered: a whole wolf skin is ten taels of silver, and a broken wolf skin is one or two silver!
Thinking of this, he immediately rushed up and inspected more than a dozen wild wolves one by one, rotten, all chopped down, he couldn't help but stand up and roared angrily: "You group of melons, don't you know how to cut your neck, don't you know how to cut your head, how to cut clothes like this, and make belly pockets for your mother-in-law?" “
When everyone heard this, they all lowered their heads in shame, only Lao Xie had the courage to go up and comfort: "Boss, forget it, we don't lack clothes, isn't it just to eat wolf meat by hunting so many wolves, the skin will be cut if it is rotten, and it will be flawed and thrown away." “
When Luo Zongshan heard this, he couldn't help but roar at him: "You know a hammer, a whole wolf skin is ten taels of silver, a broken wolf skin is one or two pieces of silver, more than a hundred taels, and now it has become more than ten taels, eat and eat, you know how to eat, take a hundred taels of silver to buy meat, you can kill you." “
After this painful lesson, Luo Zongshan decided to organize this group of people to practice when he arrived in the jurisdiction, at least he had to practice his hunting skills well.
After sighing with everyone for a while, Luo Zongshan ordered people to look for water sources everywhere, and soon someone found a small river not far in front, and he simply asked people to go back and inform them that they would camp in this woods tonight, eat enough and rest for one night, and then hurry tomorrow morning.
That night, the whole forest was wafting with the fragrance similar to dog meat, and everyone didn't know how to make wolf meat, so they simply followed the recipe of stewed dog meat, added some spices, and stewed dozens of pots, so that everyone could drink a bowl of broth.
Together, they set up their tents, ate and drank enough, rested for the night, and continued the next day.
There were no more wolves in the back, and all kinds of fierce beasts did not dare to come up when they saw such a large group of people, plus it was cold all year round, and reptiles such as poisonous snakes were not very common, so they did not encounter any danger along the way, and they rushed for a long time, and at noon the next day, Luo Zongshan finally arrived at the jurisdiction with a large group of people.
He carefully compared the map, and after making sure that he had found the right place, he ordered people to search the center of the jurisdiction for a while, and finally found a good place near the mountains and rivers, and the next thing was to set up barracks, cut down trees, mine stones, burn bricks, and prepare to build a masonry house, and officially settled down.
Through what he saw along the way, Luo Zongshan knew that it was not very difficult to survive in this place, such a large place, hunting, cutting down some trees, and raising some livestock could be exchanged for enough food, but this was not his pursuit, he had several children, all of whom needed to start a family, and he had to make money.
What he didn't know was that it was precisely because he had many children that he was promoted to a thousand households, and if he wanted to find a single person to be a thousand households, how could he lead the people below to desperately find a way to make money!
