Chapter 264: Archers Are Naturally Different

They are used to being tough on weekdays, and they act in a hurry as usual, and when the Dong brothers want to come, they shoot an arrow at home, and the other party should scatter, but in any case, they can't imagine that there are seven or eight people on the other side who rush over with spears in their hands, and when it comes to this situation, they don't dare to shoot arrows, they are here to defect, not to kill, if there is damage, then there is no end to the game.

“...... If you really rush to the front, we can shoot two arrows, and then run and fight, and our brothers will not lose with steel forks......"

“...... How far can you run, with your man-tall iron forks, worthy of our spears......"

Having said that, both sides are not very polite, and they won't really fight anyway, and it's always necessary to lose people and not lose the battle.

As for why the five members of the Dong family came here, it was because they had been cut off from their livelihood due to heavy snowfall for days, in fact, they couldn't hold on before the snow, because Huairen County had also been looted and destroyed by the Mongolian horse team, so the price of grain has been rising, and there is not much money and grain left in everyone's hands, and the need to buy wild animals and furs has also decreased a lot.

The destruction of Zheng Jiaji has dealt a devastating blow to the commerce of the entire Huairen County, and the sales of wild animals and furs have been hit even harder, so after entering the country from Mongolia, the Dong brothers have to exchange more prey for less money and food than before, and this trend is intensifying.

Wait for winter, as the weather gets colder and colder, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, they can't even change anything, after the first snow, the Dong family's food stock is exhausted, the two brothers summed up, decided to find a place to run as soon as possible, although it is easier to hit the prey on a snowy day, but the possibility of not hitting is also very large, the Dong family is three generations of hunters, and the experience knows a lot, so they dare not gamble, if it is really when the snow closes the door, the man can still hold on, and the women and children are easy to freeze and starve to death, The two brothers agreed, sold a few good leather goods at the bottom of the box at home, and put together some plates to leave their hometown to find a big family.

But what they didn't expect was that it was not so easy to take refuge, even if they were sold as slaves, no one wanted them, on the one hand, there were two mouths of the five members of the Dong family who ate for nothing, and it was not cost-effective to contain them, and secondly, the hunting skills of the Dong brothers were not very practical, and the most important point was that the Mongolian horse team's washing and destruction of Huairen County, as well as the severe cold in winter, made Huairen County and many large families around it have a sense of crisis. The big families that can accommodate the population and refugees have long been accommodated, and now there is no spare strength, the Dong brothers are very desperate along the way, they also heard about Zhu Da's reception of refugees, and they want to come here to try their luck after hitting a wall everywhere, but they didn't expect to have this encounter.

Although it was almost dark, I could still see it clearly, and I could see that the Dong family brother was actually in his early twenties, and his younger brother Dong Bao was only afraid that he was just twenty, but because both of them had beards, they were not young if they looked roughly, and they would rest after chatting, and everyone would prepare to go back to the Grange as soon as they cleaned up.

When traveling, the two brothers and two children of the Dong family are fine, but Dong Zhen's daughter-in-law is very intimidating, and has been hiding behind her own man, the life of the hunter is much better than that of the farmer, and the girl is often willing to marry the past, so Dong Zhen's daughter-in-law has a bit of a posture, such a female dependents usually live a good life, and it is easy to be brutalized when fleeing from the famine, the twenty people here are all young and strong with blood and strength, and there was a conflict just now, it is impossible not to be afraid, the Dong brothers are even more nervous and vigilant at this time than just now, It's all about getting hands on it at any time.

Of course, their worries are superfluous, now Ji Xiaodong how can they have the heart to see the posture of any female dependents, more than half of them are depressed, full of worry, but Ji Xiaodong and Zhang Jinbei took off their coats and put on the children, and the two sides rushed back towards Zhuangzi, and after walking half a mile, they saw more than a dozen people trotting towards this side.

According to the defense arrangement of the grange, when a team of people goes out, there will be another team of people as a reserve, and when Ji Xiaodong and Zhang Jinbei go out with people, a team of fifteen people in the village will begin to be in place.

At this time, the sky is not very dark, Ji Xiaodong's team of people can also see a rough movement in Zhuangzi, although the details can not be seen clearly, but it can probably be seen, first see scattered and fleeing, and then see a small group of people rushing up, no one feels too peaceful, according to the predetermined rules, the small team of people who are in the reserve team on the one hand to inform the people in the village, on the other hand, go out to respond.

When they meet halfway, they can find that they are safe, which makes everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but Ji Xiaodong and Zhang Jinbei's team are all disgraced, and the ugliness of their own collapse will be seen by their companions, and the news will definitely reach the master, and there will be no good fruit to eat in the future.

The faces of the Dong brothers are not good-looking, as long as they are not fools, they know that they have offended people, thinking about their own family or coming to defect, what treatment they can encounter next, it is really not optimistic.

"Don't be afraid, it's all your own people who come to defect." Ji Xiaodong said in a sullen voice.

This comfort made the Dong brothers quite stunned, no matter how you look at it, they have made Ji Xiaodong and them lose face, I didn't expect him to be able to comfort them, with these two sentences, the Dong brothers' faces looked a lot better.

......

The two brothers and the five of them had dinner with Zhu Da, they didn't expect that the owner of this grange was such a young man, and then thinking about the combat power shown by the young and strong in the village, they thought that it was a thirty or forty-year-old hero who could lead it, who would have thought that it was this age, and he was not a few years older than his own children.

Zhu Da's attitude was very kind, the dinner was also very rich, the mutton bone soup and mixed noodles made the five members of the Dong family very happy, Zhu Da also gave a placement, the five of them will have a separate residence, Zhu Da was very straightforward, and after a few words of relief and promised to resettle, he asked: "Can you two brothers shoot bows?" What bow is used? How about the quasi-head? ”

This straightforward inquiry made the Dong brothers feel more relaxed, knowing what the other party needed, knowing that their own skills could be exchanged for food and clothing, and it was more comfortable to stay in such a place, without so many guesses and worries.

"Our brothers can shoot arrows with bows, and they use the longbow of the army, and as for the head, there is a lamb within fifty paces, and if you shoot ten arrows, you can shoot seven arrows." Dong Zhen, the elder brother of the Dong family, replied.

If it is in other places outside the border town, the hunters use hunting bows, this kind of bow has a very short range and is not very powerful, but in the border towns, the people are military households, some experience, and even some training, it is much easier to obtain armaments than other places, here the hunters often use military bows, then there is nothing surprising about the quasi-head, as an orion, they often have to shoot the prey in an instant, if there is no quasi-head, then there is no gain.

Zhu Da nodded and said with satisfaction: "On my side, people with skills will live a good life, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, I will give what should be given, but there is one thing, in my Zhuangzi, you have to abide by my rules, and if you don't follow the rules, there will be trouble." ”

These words were not good, and there was a threat in them, but the Dong brothers didn't care at all, and shouted to the wives and children who were eating to come together, and the five of them knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Da together, and the Dong family's boss Dong Jia said in a sullen voice: "Since our brothers came here to take refuge in the master, then in the future, it will be the lord's cattle and horses, and the rules set by the master, of course the little ones have to listen." ”

Looking at the five people who knelt down and kowtowed, Zhu Da shook his head and smiled, he always felt that there were some things to say hello in advance, but he didn't expect that in the hearts of people in this era, many things are taken for granted, whenever he encounters such a scene, Zhu Da always sighs, in the memory of more than 20 years, everyone is equal is the natural righteousness, although in fact it is not like this.

After days of running around and finally arriving at the Grange, and experiencing that close to the battle outside, the Dong family was extremely tired, but they were tense all the time, and Zhu Da's words and the "sumptuous" dinner made the Dong family finally relaxed, as soon as the person relaxed, he couldn't suppress the fatigue and sleepiness that had accumulated for many days, Dong Zhen and Dong Bao The two brothers were still holding on, and the woman and the two children were eyelids fighting and yawning.

"Second Brother Chang, their family of five gives a separate place to live, and what they eat is compared to the poor people in the city." Zhu Da made arrangements for Chang Shen who rushed over, and the Dong brothers didn't know what these words meant, but they realized that something was wrong from Chang Shen's surprised eyes.

"Your family has a good rest first, if there is anything we have to say, we will say it tomorrow, the days will be long, and there is no hurry at this time."

Zhu Da's gentle smile made the Dong family feel that they had come to the right place, they were somewhat relaxed, Chang Shen took them to settle down, they naturally couldn't see that Zhu Da's face was gloomy after they left the house.

"The family, the poor people, the young and strong, all of them gathered in the empty field and lined up." Zhu Da instructed a family member that it was already night, and he was still gathered to do something, and the family member didn't dare to ask more questions after seeing Zhu Da's face, so he hurriedly ran out to give orders.

When Juda walked out of the house, he could hear the sound of bangs in the direction of the empty field not far away, and the silence of the Grange was broken at night, and it began to be noisy.

Since Zhu Da took over the grange, it has been a state of curfew at night, and suddenly the sound of bangs was heard, and the people who understood the signal hurriedly lined up to stand by, and the original farmers of the grange also came to see the excitement.

If it was before Zhu Da came, there was any movement at night, and the villagers did not dare to go out to see, often let the family hide well, and they held the equipment and trembled behind the door, now they are used to being quiet and peaceful, knowing that there is Zhu Da guarding here, and no thief who does not have long eyes dares to do evil, so the nature of joining in the fun is naturally revealed.
