Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Man's Courage
Looking at the giant python that was still rolling and struggling on the ground, Hao Jian swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard, and suddenly felt a feeling of detachment from his body.
Although it was only an arrow, it was the first arrow in his life, an arrow in which he concentrated his whole energy, and an arrow when he was at the last moment.
He didn't even know if he could hit the arrow until he shot it, and he didn't even have time to think about it at that time.
Now after seeing the results, the adrenaline quickly retreated, and his body was a little weak, and he even stumbled a little.
Snakes were one of the things he feared in his life. Since he was a child, he was very scared, when he went out to play with his friends and saw a small snake, and after someone smashed the snake to death with a brick, he dared to timidly go up and make up for a brick.
Not to mention that he was now facing a python about the thickness of a human arm.
The moment he saw the snake, his childhood fear came back to him like a conditioned reflex.
So it's not so much that he's shooting snakes just now, but that he's shooting at the fear in his heart.
No one knew that Hao Jian's heart was turbulent at the moment, but seeing that his face was a little pale and his steps were a little staggering, they all thought that he was worried about the dangerous scene just now, and even Liu Ji glanced at Bai Jinxiu over there thoughtfully, and then looked at Hao Jian, as if he felt that he suddenly understood something.
Ran Wu drew his sword and stepped forward to walk towards the python, but was stopped by Hao Jian.
"I'll do it myself!" He pulled out the long sword at his waist and walked towards the python step by step.
Everyone else thought he wanted to show the bravery of a man, so he did it.
But only he knows that he has to face his fears thoroughly.
People will face a lot of fears in their lives, and no matter how strong and great a person is, they will have their own fears.
A person who has no fear is not called a person, he can only be a walking corpse.
The true brave person is not fearless, but knows that the fear in his heart is as turbulent as the sea, but he can still maintain his steady steps to face his fear, and finally overcome his fear and kill his fear.
And what Hao Jian has to do now is to kill this fear of himself.
He walked up to the python and first cut off the python's evil and hideous snake head with a sword, and then cut the remaining snake body into seven or eight pieces.
Watching the python's body gradually fall apart, his heart suddenly became more and more relaxed, because he felt that his fear of snakes was gradually fading.
The chopped and shattered python could no longer roll and struggle, and everything was at peace.
Everyone quietly watched Hao Jian's actions, no one spoke, and no one stepped forward.
Hao Jian stopped and quietly looked at the snake blood on the long sword, his eyes were deep and blurry, as if he was admiring a beautiful work of art.
Finally, he laughed, tore off a piece of his shirt, and wiped the long sword seriously little by little, until he couldn't see a trace of blood, and then slowly returned the sword to its sheath.
There will be many fears waiting for me on this road ahead, and if I am not brave enough, even if I am surrounded by the bravest warriors, it will not help.
All I have to do is take my warriors, kill all the fears in front of me, and then move forward to where I want to go.
A true warrior, dare to face the bleak life, dare to face the dripping blood!
At this moment, the strange system voice suddenly sounded in my mind again: "Congratulations to the lord for obtaining the 'Man's Courage' Growth Medal, so the lord level has been upgraded to the second level, the physical strength has increased by 20%, and the archery technique has been upgraded to the second level at the same time, with a hit rate of 90% within 100 steps and a 50% hit rate within 200 steps." At the same time, the lord permanently masters the first level of horsemanship. “
"In addition, the lord has completed the task 'Hurricane Rescue' perfectly, so he has 500 honor points, and at the same time, he has permanently unlocked and turned on the 'Horse Farm' function."
With the strange voice of the system, Hao Jian's brows gradually expanded, and he began to smile, and his smile became brighter and brighter, and he felt that an abundant force spread out from his heart and spread all over his body, and the sense of detachment from killing snakes just now basically disappeared without a trace.
He regained his energy.
It's really good, I didn't expect that there would be so many additional benefits for inadvertently saving people, and it is really a good person who has a good reward.
Hao Jian was very happy to think that the system had officially unlocked the horse farm for him, as long as the horse farm continued to exist, he would continue to breed horses.
Moreover, the horses that come out of the system horse farm are all good war horses, and there are no inferior horses such as horses that pull carts or pull horses.
These horses, in addition to their own use, can also trade the surplus and sell it to those who need it in exchange for property.
Hao Jian clearly knew that if he wanted to continue to expand the size of the army, in addition to gathering the population, there must also be a lot of money and honor.
Reputation can be earned in battle, but not so easily with money.
Of course, it is possible to capture a little in battle, but generally the amount is not too objective.
Besides, relying on the existing villagers of the system to collect resources and then sell them in the system market for money, the efficiency and price are really low.
It's okay to maintain a small army, but it's simply not realistic to maintain a large army.
Therefore, if we want to have a steady stream of input, we must use the resources of the system to open up financial resources in reality.
And at the moment, it seems that the horse farm is a good choice.
As long as you have enough money, and then enough honor, you can quickly expand your army.
After all, the troops hired from the merchant station do not need to occupy the total population, which has to be said to be another exciting change in the balance reality of the system.
The more Hao Jian thought about it, the clearer his thoughts became, and the smile on his face grew, and he didn't notice that anyone had walked to his side.
"The little maid thanked Childe for saving his life, and Childe's great grace will never be forgotten!" The little maid Xiaowen came to Hao Jian with red eyes, which was a deep blessing.
Hao Jian reacted at this time, and hurriedly reached out to help Xiaowen's arm, and unconsciously the little girl's face turned red instantly.
The ancients paid attention to whether men and women were intimate or not, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, when Cheng Zhu's science reached its peak, and paid more attention to these pedantic rituals.
Others help them all in vain, just make an appearance.
But Hao Jian, who was born under the red flag and grew up in a new society, didn't care about this, so it was no surprise that he grabbed the soft arm of the little girl.
The little girl instinctively wanted to dodge, but she still didn't dodge and was helped up by Hao Jian.
"Sister, what you say is outside, we are not outsiders now, what is there to thank or not." Hao Jian smiled, looking honest and open-minded.
Xiaowen was moved in her heart and was about to say something, but she heard Hao Jian say again:
"But if you really want to thank me, I'm still single, you can consider being my girlfriend. The ancients didn't pay attention to repaying their kindness at every turn, if you see the right thing, I will move you over at night, we can try it first, and you can quickly understand it under the same roof, don't you say? ”
The little girl's originally open mouth closed again, and she looked at Hao Jian with shame and shame, and quickly lowered her head again, even feeling a fever on the back of her neck.
What is this boy talking nonsense, although it is weird and weird, but he can still understand it by himself. Although people don't hate you, it's really shameful for you to say this in front of my young lady, and so many faces!
Hao Jian was originally talking nonsense casually, and he teased the little girl in a happy mood, and at this moment, seeing the little girl's shy and bowed head, he felt even more funny.
Bai Jinxiu knew that she had misunderstood Hao Jian, and she also knew that Hao Jian had saved her life again, so she came over after a long time of twisting, wanting to thank Hao Jian.
Unexpectedly, before she could speak, Hao Jian, a disciple, was teasing her maid again, and she was so angry that she glared at Hao Jian for a long time, and finally threw down a sentence: "The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change!" Then he turned and walked away.
The little girl looked at the young lady and left angrily, thinking that she had made the young lady angry, she stomped her feet, glanced at Hao Jian sadly, and hurriedly chased after the young lady.
Hao Jian laughed, and gave her a flying kiss as usual, which made the little girl's face even redder.
As soon as Bai Jinxiu's master and servant left, Hao Jian's ears suddenly moved, and he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and it was getting closer and closer.
He turned to see that he was riding from the north.
Ran Wu said in a deep voice: "My lord, I'll take a look." “
Hao Jian nodded, his face became serious, and it seemed that something had happened.
Ran Wu urged the horse forward and rode towards it.
The two horses quickly staggered, and I don't know what to say, Ran Wu led the rider and galloped quickly towards the place where Hao Jian was standing.
