Chapter 65: Lucky Suit

Zhao Zizhong asked Boris to choose a heavy weapon based on his strong body and great strength. Boris picked a hammer with a long handle and wielded it so vigorously that ten or eight people could not get close to him.

He also asked Zhai Xiaoshan to keep practicing his bow and crossbow, using Boris's modern imitation*. Using an ordinary angular bow at close range, this thing has an extremely fast shooting rate, and Zhai Xiaoshan can shoot ten arrows in more than ten seconds.

Everyone gritted their teeth and practiced hard until dusk. Zhao Zizhong boiled water for everyone to take a bath and made some simple meals. After everyone had eaten, they arranged the order of night duty and went back to sleep. Most of them fall headlong into bed and snore loudly after a while.

Zhao Zizhong rested for a while, got up and went out to inspect. He walked into the courtyard and saw a dark figure lying on the ground, and he slowly squatted down and observed carefully. After a while, his eyes adjusted to the dark environment, and he saw Zhai Xiaoshan lying on the ground, aiming at the courtyard wall with his crossbow.

Zhao Zizhong walked over lightly and patted him. Zhai Xiaoshan turned around and saw that it was Zhao Zizhong, and hurriedly stood up. Zhao Zizhong asked, "What are you doing here?" Why don't you go to bed yet? ”

Zhai Xiaoshan said a little shyly: "Report, I train much less than others during the day, and I am not very tired." Also, I want to try the feeling of using a crossbow at night when it's dark, so I'll practice aiming here for a while. ”

Zhao Zizhong instructed him for a while, and then let him go back. There was nothing to say all night, and the next afternoon, when everyone was in full swing of practice, Cui Hong came.

He and Zhao Zi re-entered the room, poured a large bowl of water after sitting down, and let out a sigh, "Mr. Zhao, I found a small courtyard two miles away from Cui's Manor, where the husband and wife and three children lived, they are all ordinary farmers, I spent money to rent the yard, and sent someone to send a family of five to Mingzhou City to let them play for a while." Now you can live in it. ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically, "You did a good job, when it gets dark, we will leave and live in quietly." ”

In the evening, after everyone had eaten, they packed up their belongings, went to say goodbye to the old man, and set off for Cui's Manor.

After walking for more than two hours, we came to the foot of a small hill, where there was a small courtyard, small in size, with three adobe houses with thick thatched roofs.

Everyone entered the courtyard, but the three carriages could not enter, so Zhao Zizhong asked the guards to unload the materials on the carriage and move into the courtyard. He said to Cui Hong: "Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to drive the carriage outside the gate of Cui's house, and you can take it." ”

Cui Hong went back, and Zhao Zizhong looked at the three thatched huts, which were too small for more than a dozen people to live in. He thought about it for a while and divided the team members into three groups, letting one team go to Cui's house to monitor, and the other two teams squeezed together to sleep. Then the shift changes after an hour.

The next morning, Zhao Zizhong took out a few fishing nets from the things he brought, asked everyone to find some strips of cloth, branches, leaves, and dead grass, and began to teach everyone how to make 'auspicious clothes'.

The guards were curious and didn't know what this thing was for. Zhao Zizhong quickly made a gilly suit. He draped himself over himself, pointed to the hill, and said, "I will hide on this hill in a moment, and you will go and arrest me, and if you find me within an hour, you will receive a constant amount of money for each of you." More than an hour, even if I win, you will run ten more miles today. ”

The guards saw that the hill was not big and there were few trees, so they agreed to come down. Zhao Zi set off again, and disappeared after a while. The guards formed a horizontal line at a distance of ten meters, and under the leadership of Boris, they slowly searched and advanced up the hill.

Everyone walked very slowly, searched carefully, and in a short time they walked all over the hill. Boris scratched his head and let everyone move freely and split up to find it. But I searched back and forth several times, but I didn't find anything. Some people even climbed to the top of a few trees, but they didn't find it.

After a while, Boris decided to throw in the towel, and he shouted: "Come out, we lost." ”

At this moment, a pile of dead grass on the mountainside squirmed, and a hairy thing slowly stood up. Zhao Zizhong lifted the auspicious suit on his body, walked over and said, "How is it, is this thing useful?" ”

The guards were all served, and obediently went back to make auspicious clothes. When it was time to change shifts, the four guards left with their auspicious clothes. Zhao Zizhong rested for a while and said to Boris: "You take them to practice the Mandarin Duck Formation, and I will go to Cui's house to reconnoitre." ”

Zhao Zizhong took the binoculars, dressed up as a farmer, and set off with a bamboo basket on his back. He did not walk in the direction of the gate of the Cui family, but walked towards the mountains and forests on both sides of the manor.

He went into the woods, chose a big tree, climbed it in a few clicks, and sat on the branch. He took out his binoculars and observed the manor.

The Cui family's manor is built on the mountain, with hundreds of houses overlapping on top of each other, and people and cars come and go in front of the gate, which is very lively. The wind on the mountain was very strong, and after a while, Zhao Zizhong felt that he was about to be frozen. I thought, the people of this era are really hard-working, and the guards have to hold on to the cold wind for an hour before changing shifts, but no one has ever complained of hardship, they are all good!

Zhao Zizhong observed for a while, but found nothing. Suddenly, Du Dalei appeared outside the gate of Cui's house. He looked around with a grin, and from time to time he talked to people coming in and out.

A carriage came to the gate, and several servants began to carry things down from the cart, and several large baskets filled with vegetables and fruits. Du Dalei leaned over, looked at the baskets one by one, picked a big pear, washed it or not, and took a bite.

He picked a few more, put his clothes in his pocket, and under the resentful eyes of the servants, Shi Shiran walked into the door. He slowly came to the small courtyard where the children lived, and when he entered the door, the dog pounced on him and shouted, "Uncle, what do you have to eat?" ”

Du Dalei picked up the puppy, "What about your mother?" ”

"My mother is in the house and teaches them how to write."

"Why don't you go and write?"

"I'm young, and now I'm just going to play." The dog said confidently.

Du Dalei walked outside the largest room, put down the dog, and pushed the door in. More than a dozen children in the room were writing seriously, using chalk, writing on the small blackboard in front of them, Jiang Wuniang patrolled among the children, correcting the children's typos from time to time.

Du Dalei walked to the desk in front of the blackboard, put the five big pears in the placket on the table, and said to Jiang Wuniang: "Jiang Niangzi, I'll bring a few big pears, you can wash and cut them in a while, and give them to the children." ”

Jiang Wuniang said with a smile: "Mr. Du, I trouble you again, in fact, they are not short of food, the wife of the family takes great care of us, and sends some fruits and vegetables every day, and meat from time to time, and the children are doing well." ”

Jiang Wuniang asked the children to continue writing, and asked Du Dalei to go to the next room to talk. Du Dalei picked up the dog and walked to the next room with Jiang Wuniang.

Jiang Wuniang poured him a cup of tea and said, "Mr. Du, tell me about the things on the island in detail, there were too many people a few days ago, and I didn't bother to ask you, by the way, how are Hu Yidao and Tian Renfeng?" ”

Du Dalei said stupidly: "Those two boys are good, they can eat and sleep every day, they have grown a lot taller, and they also have meat on their bodies." But I'm miserable with these two things, you listen to me, that's what happened-----"

Du Dalei told him in detail about the process of stabbing Hu Yidao into the honeycomb, and Jiang Wuniang covered her mouth and laughed, her face turned red. The dog was also smiling heartlessly.

Du Dalei cried and said with a sad face: "You guys are still laughing, I almost didn't let them die, the loss of Lao Tzu's life is big, and he didn't get bee venom." ”

Jiang Wuniang laughed for a while, calmed down for a few minutes, and said slowly: "These children are all poor people, fortunately I met a few of you gentlemen, and I lived a good life." All the gentlemen are good-hearted people, if Hu Yidao falls into the hands of others and does such a stubborn thing, there is only one way to die. ”

Du Dalei waved his hand, "Our brothers will not careless of human life, we are all helpless, so we can only unite and survive together." By the way, did you receive the letter that my eldest brother wrote to you? ”

Jiang Wuniang's face turned red instantly, and she squirmed and didn't speak. Du Dalei laughed secretly in his heart, the love letter written by the buddy and the little white face and Wenqing Nazhe together is not covered, the lethality to women is definitely strong enough, looking at Jiang Wuniang's expression, it must be tempting.

After a while, Jiang Wuniang raised her head, her face still flushed. She said a little shyly: "Mr. Du, have you read this letter?" ”

Du Dalei smiled evilly and nodded, Jiang Wuniang stroked the puppy's head, and said, "I understand what Mr. Zhao means, and I am very moved." But I was an ominous person, my parents and brother died, and my husband died of a terminal illness. The people in the village said that I killed them and that I was a broom star. ”

"Don't listen to those village men and fools, this is pure nonsense, you were born in troubled times, these are not your responsibility. You, a weak woman, are already remarkable if you can fight against this ruthless world. Our brothers admire your character and will not look down on you. ”

Jiang Wuniang was very moved, her eyes were a little red, she picked up the puppy and kissed his face, "Mr. Du, I still have two children, do you think Mr. Zhao will dislike them?" ”

Du Dalei patted his chest and promised, "Absolutely not, the eldest brother likes these two children very much." When he was on the island, he used to talk about them. The eldest brother is also a poor man, his wife and son are nowhere to be found, he usually does not talk about these things, but the brothers can see it, he is very depressed in his heart, sometimes he gets up in the middle of the night and sighs, and sits until dawn. ”

Jiang Wuniang looked out the window, and Du Dalei said again: "My eldest brother will come to Cui's house in the next few days, and you will be able to see him then." In addition, something may happen in the Cui family these days, you have to take good care of the children, and you must not let them out. ”
