The incident happened suddenly, the distance of the wild boar was already very close, Bian Xiang wanted to take the big axe, and Pang Wanchun raised an arrow to shoot, but they were all slow, after all, these two people had not experienced the test of war. I saw that Chao Gai did not move at all, Jiao Ting in front turned over and dismounted in an instant, and the forty-pound golden gourd sledgehammer in his hand slammed out, this hammer hit the boar's head, and the fierce boar was immediately smashed to the ground.

Pang Wanchun and Bian Xiang couldn't help but marvel at Jiao Ting's good skills, this reaction speed and melee combat were indeed superior.

Bian Xiang looked at the big wild boar and said, "This wild boar has at least four hundred catties or more, so it's better for us to roast it and eat it." As he was talking, a group of dogs came running in the grass, all tall and mighty, and saw Bian Xiang and Jiao Ting and others more than ten meters away from each other and stopped without walking or barking, just looking at the wild boar, counting carefully, it was actually six big dogs, and the breed was the common big wolf green in Shandong, which is the wolf dog as the saying goes.

Jiao Ting said: "This dog is very interesting, what are you staring at us." ”

Bian Xiang smiled: "He is not looking at us, but at the wild boar, it is estimated that this pig is the prey they are chasing." I didn't see any arrow wounds on the pig. ”

Pang Wanchun praised: "This person is really bold enough, dare to shoot wild boars with an ordinary hunting bow, this guy has thick skin and thick meat, and he doesn't react when he shoots." ”

Chao Gai was also secretly surprised, and was chatting, a man with a hunting bow said, this person is only about one meter seven tall, not strong, and he is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he was surprised to see a wild boar. When the six wolf dogs saw their masters coming, they launched a threat and barked at Jiao Ting, Bian Xiang and others. The man waved his hand, and the six big dogs immediately squatted on the ground obediently, and Chao Gai could see clearly that this guy was actually an expert in dog training.

Chao Gai said: "This wild boar is the prey you are chasing? ”

The man said, "I came out this morning to hunt with my dog, and I was going to get a wild boar to go back." One or two hundred pounds of wild boar, my six dogs can catch it, just now I saw movement in the grass in front of me and shot two arrows and the dog chased over, thank you for killing the wild boar, otherwise my dog may not be able to save. ”

"Your level of hunting is too two hundred and five, and you didn't even see the size of the prey, but fortunately we met us, if it was an ordinary person, it would have to be injured." Bian Xiang said.

The man hurriedly bowed to the end: "What I said is that I was negligent, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

Four hundred pounds of wild boar, six well-trained hunting dogs will definitely not be able to take, even if they are taken, they will suffer heavy casualties, wild boars, this beast is timid and afraid of things when it is not injured, once it is injured, it is not afraid of anything.

Chao Gai said: "This man, your hunting dog training is good, can you show it to open our eyes." ”

"What's the matter, wait a minute." This man let the hound perform prone crawling, high jumping, and other actions, although there is a big gap between the real military dog training, but it is much stronger than the military dog farm he formed.

"Yes, that's good." Chao Gai and the crowd applauded, and the man was also very happy.

Chao Gai said: "This wild boar is so fat, it is useless for our people who are in a hurry to ask for it, I think you should drag it back." ”

"This boar is too big for me to hunt anyway. This is what you killed, I can't get a big pig for nothing, it's better like this, you go back with me, let's eat wild boar together, how about it? The man proposed.

Chao Gai said: "Okay. ”

A group of four people followed this man, Bian Xiang had great strength and helped carry the wild boar.

It turns out that this man's name is Li Ergou, a person from Lijiagou nearby, Li Ergou's ancestral dog training skills, and a good dog. It's just that Li Ergou can only practice dog hunting, and seeing that he is almost thirty years old and has not yet married a daughter-in-law, he is a little unprofessional.

The scorching summer sun is scorching, it is noon at this time, the sun is shining on the earth, fortunately, the green trees in the mountains block the sun, even so, Li Ergou's six wolf green are still sticking out their tongues.

Li Jiagou is located at the foot of an unknown hill, the whole village is made of bluestone houses, Li Ergou's yard is at the edge of the village, just next to the stream, the stream is clear and transparent, and there are small fish more than an inch long. There is also a shelf for peeling meat on the two trees next to it. Bian Xiang helped to hang the big wild boar up.

Bian Xiang said: "You can deal with it, I can't do this." ”

Li Ergou shook his head and said: "The village is so big, the whole village can hear a fart, it is impossible for such a big pig to enjoy it alone, and someone will come after a while." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for four or five men to come, obviously all of them were Li Ergou's own family, and an elderly man saw the big wild boar and scolded: "Li Ergou, you don't want to die, such a big wild boar dares to start, let me see if it's hurt." ”

"It's not hurt, this pig was beaten by these guests, the people of the Chao family business house in Yuncheng are amazing, and they smashed the head of the wild boar with a hammer." Li Ergou said.

Li Ergou also borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and distributed more than 50 catties of meat, one catty for each family. There are also more than a dozen men who usually have a good relationship, all of whom come to Li Ergou's house to eat meat with wine and the like. The pig went into the water and gave it directly to the hunting dog, Li Ergou's family has a lot of dogs, six of them were brought out, and there were two female dogs at home.

Chao Gai took out the good wine he brought with him and gave it to Li Ergou, and the other people in the village were not familiar with Chao Gai and the others after all, so they all ate meat in other places.

Chao Gai said: "Ergou, your ability to train dogs is also rare, although hunting all day long is worry-free, but it is difficult to have any development, not a long way." ”

Li Ergou took a sip of wine and sighed: "What else can I do, I won't do anything other than training dogs to hunt." This world is chaotic, it's good to stay in the mountains, my six dogs are powerful, ordinary little wild boars, wild deer, hares, and even pheasants can catch them, as long as they are not too unlucky to encounter big insects, they can basically eat the whole mountain, so the days are also happy. ”

Bian Xiang said: "The eldest husband should be ambitious in all directions, how can he only think about eating and drinking." ”

Li Ergou smiled bitterly: "I also want to find something to do, but no one wants me." ”

Chao Gai said: "I also have more than a dozen dogs, mainly Liangshan fine dogs, which are trained to be used when patrolling at night, after all, I have a lot of industry." ”

"There is a lot of industry, and there are more than a dozen dogs patrolling." Li Ergou asked.

Jiao Ting pouted and said: "My brother cultivates tens of thousands of acres of land and more than ten workshops. More than a dozen dogs patrolling are still a lot. ”

"Then what can I do when I go?" Li Ergou asked.

Pang Wanchun didn't say anything, he only cared about his arrows, and he wasn't interested in military dogs or anything.

Chao Gai said: "Dog training, the military dog farm will let you be the field leader, and allocate you thirty people to specialize in raising dogs and training dogs." Of course, if you want to go over, you have to take all ten dogs with you. I won't treat you badly, fifty times the settling-in allowance, fifty times the annual salary, each of your ten dogs will give you five times of compensation, of course, these dogs used to be raised by you for training, and if the training is qualified, you will be assigned to different places to patrol on duty. ”

Li Ergou thought for a while: "I am a dog lover, as long as I am asked to train dogs and raise dogs, it doesn't matter how much money I have." It's just that I can't eat dog meat from my trained dog, then I'll be very uncomfortable. ”

"Okay, I promise you, all military dogs that come out of the military dog farm, no matter how they die, will be buried, treat them as brothers, and no one is allowed to eat the meat of military dogs." Chao Gai said.

Li Ergou said: "Okay, I'm a broken stone house, and there's nothing else worth nostalgic for, so I'll be able to go with you if I pack up." ”

Chao Gai said: "In the past two days, you have to pack up first, and in two or three days, I will arrange for someone from the firm to pick you up and take you to Yuncheng." ”

Li Ergou patted his head and said: "I also have a good buddy, called Xu Ge, who loves to play with pigeons, and the trained carrier pigeons can send thousands of miles of letters, which is very powerful." I don't know if the owner of Chao Zhuang needs such talents. ”

Chao Gai was overjoyed, and the speed of carrier pigeons to spread books was very fast, and they could reach more than four or five hundred kilometers a day, which was faster than the government-run 800-mile expedited post station. However, no matter how rich Chao Gai's knowledge is, he will not train carrier pigeons, which are a relatively professional industry.

"It's so needed, where is he?"

"In a village to the east, there is a very large tree in his yard full of pigeon nests." Li Ergou said.

After eating, Chao Gai asked Li Ergou to lead the way and went straight to Xu Ge's house. Xu Ge is more than ten years older than Li Ergou, and after listening to Chao Gai's generous treatment, he agreed without hesitation, you must know that although raising carrier pigeons is a sideline, there are fewer people in this industry, either a big business house with strict information requirements, or the imperial court.

Pang Wanchun was a little incomprehensible to Chao Gai's high salary to hire a pigeon, and said: "We only have a few dozen pigeons in the market, how many dozens." ”

"That's a meat pigeon, killed for meat. This is a carrier pigeon. For example, from Kaifeng to Yuncheng, it takes seven or eight days to take the waterway, and fast horses also take five or six days. But with pigeons you can get there in one day. The pigeon has a letter tied to its leg and the message is delivered very quickly. Chao Gai explained.

Bian Xiang said: "What if you are shot down and eaten by an archer like Wan Chun." ”

"That's also something that can't be helped, the natural enemy of carrier pigeons is the eagle. There is always a percentage of losses, but the overall success rate is still very high. ”

Chao Gai arranged for the two to pack up their things as soon as possible, and then a group of four people went straight to Yishui County, when they were about to arrive at the county seat, Chao Gai remembered Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu's black shop, and asked someone to inquire, it was actually half a month ago that people killed the two brothers, and the person who killed them didn't know, but the meat killing workshop in the black shop made people churn out, and the entire Yishui County was shocked, Li Yun was dismissed at home, although he didn't know what the two brothers did, but as a master, he did have a great responsibility.

Chao Gai sighed, he was going to come over to clean up the two brothers, but he didn't expect people to rush ahead.

Yishui county has Chao's grain store and Tianya inn, although Yishui business is small, but mainly plays the role of a transit station, every month there are a large number of kelp and other seafood from the seaside to transport. Chao Gai arranged for the people from the Yishui Grain Store to send four people to help Li Ergou and Xu Ge go to Yuncheng in the past two days, and Chao Gai wrote a letter to Liu Tang and asked Liu Tang to receive these two people carefully.
