Chapter 32: The Village Chief's Thoughts
After the wine was halfway through, Ma Gui went to the city wall and the various tuns to inspect; Gao Shun left the table and returned to the backyard to visit his mother; Only Li Qiang continued to drink and celebrate with everyone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Ge Hu came back in advance to report, won a big battle, and completely annihilated the Hun cavalry; Mother, Mother and others were very happy and celebrated in the backyard.
Mother was relieved to see that Gao Shun was intact, but she complained: "You didn't know that such a big thing happened, and you didn't come back to tell us, if it wasn't for Huzi, we wouldn't have known about the Huns' attack." ā
"Mother, I'm not afraid you'll be worried."
"If we're afraid that we're worried, we shouldn't risk ourselves, why bother to go into battle if we have such a usable person under our hands?"
Ge Mu wasted no time in suggesting: "Virtuous nephew, I think you should get married as soon as possible, if you give birth to a few more sons, when you go out, your mother will not have to worry so much." As he spoke, he looked at Xu Ting with deep eyes.
Xu Ting's face turned red and lowered her head shyly.
What is the rationale for this? Is there a relationship between whether there is a son and whether or not he is worried? Gao Shun couldn't understand the old lady's chaotic logic.
My sister suddenly interjected, which can be regarded as relieving Gao Shun, "Big brother, you must bring me with you if you have such a good thing in the future, now my riding skills are very good." ā
Xu Ting also said excitedly: "Yes, I want to go too, I not only know how to ride a horse, but I also learned marksmanship from Fu Bo." ā
Gao Shun laughed and said: "Okay, I didn't even dare to go to the battlefield Gehu, you actually want to go; As long as you can defeat Gohu, then I will allow you to go to war from now on. ā
They thought of Ge Hu's burly figure and huge strength, and they could knock them down with one hand, and immediately dispelled their previous thoughts.
However, Gao Feng still muttered: "Even Gao Qiang can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, why can't we go?" ā
Gao Shun smiled: "It's not that you don't know how powerful Gao Qiang's kid is, and Xu Zhentun taught him a set of marksmanship, which is even more powerful; Today he calls himself the grandfather of the Huns on the battlefield, he is very domineering, and it is not for you to learn. ā
Gao Feng struck: "Big brother, he learned from you badly!" If you don't learn well at a young age, you must sue your uncle the next time you meet him. ā
Gao's mother and Ge's mother watched the brother and sister arguing, and no longer paid attention to them, but drank the juice that Gao Shun squeezed for them.
That night, the old village chief and Gao Jian rested in the city lord's mansion.
Gao Jian stayed up all night happy because of his son's outstanding performance; The old village chief was so worried that he couldn't rest well; Now they no longer regard Gao Shun as a junior, and they need to discuss with Gao Shun in case of trouble, and they need Gao Shun's consent.
The next morning, Gao Shun accompanied the old village chief and Gao Jian to breakfast.
The old village chief said: "Ah Shun, this time the Huns attacked, fortunately they were found in time and were successfully annihilated, otherwise the surrounding villages will definitely suffer heavy losses, we have so much land here to spare, do you want to relocate the people from other villages?" ā
Gao Shun is going to use this as the rear base of his forces, which is used to protect the families of important members of his forces, so that they can go to the battlefield without worries, and go to the battlefield with peace of mind. ā
The old village chief said worriedly: "I estimate that this time to kill so many Huns, they will soon come to retaliate, and several villages outside the castle will be slaughtered, and we can't see death without help." ā
"Then inform them and let them move to the county seat as soon as possible." Gao Shun said casually.
"Their family business is here, they can't live in the county for a long time, besides, no one knows when the Huns will attack, how can there be a thousand days of anti-thief reason?"
"Then I can't do anything, there are many people in the world who need to be rescued, and it is impossible for us to save them, this is the duty of the imperial court."
Gao Jian said: "Ah Shun, we have so much land, and we are idle, why not let them come and farm?" ā
"What if they give them the farmland and someone else moves in the future? You see a lot of land, in fact, only the land inside the castle can be cultivated, the outside of the land is not sorted out at all, can only be used as a racecourse or to plant some pasture, if all the backfill is too large, it cannot be completed in a short time; Besides, the land is barren again, and Captain Ma is organizing soldiers to grow soybeans and millet. ā
After the meal, the old village chief and Gao Yuan took the carriage arranged by Gao Shun back to Bibo Fort, and it could be seen that they were in a very bad mood. In the mind of the old village chief, Gao Shun's career has developed, but he has become cold-blooded, and he actually ignores the life and death of several surrounding villages.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when he returned to the cottage, the old village chief couldn't help complaining: "Ah Shun has changed, he has become cold-blooded, and I can't even recognize the change." ā
Gao Jian said: "Uncle, you can't blame Ah Shun for this, it takes a lot of money to build this place, and if those villagers are allowed to sit back and enjoy the results, no one will agree; It is very important to let us move here. ā
The old village chief snorted coldly and said, "Your family's Gaoqiang has performed well, and he is very appreciated by Ah Shun, of course you are talking to him." ā
Gao Jian didn't care about the old village chief's words, but said with a hearty smile: "Haha, uncle, Gao Qiang is my son, he behaved well, I should be happy, but I didn't say the above because of Gao Qiang; I feel that you have not been optimistic about Gao Shun from the beginning, so you have not let Gao Yu participate in the village protection team, if I were Gao Shun, I would have had an opinion on you a long time ago. ā
Gao Jian's words deeply pierced the old village chief's heart.
Seeing that the old village chief didn't speak, Gao Jian continued: "The village protection team, as the name suggests, protects the village, and even people from other villages actively participate, but the children of the village chief's family do not participate in the village protection team, and even the village chief does not support the village protection team, how will outsiders feel?" ā
The old village chief said embarrassedly: "I'm not afraid that young people will not be patient, and the village protection team will not last long." ā
Gao Jian retorted: "You have created such a foundation at a young age and gathered many heroes, but you are still not optimistic about him, otherwise why didn't you let Gao Yu participate in the challenge on the first day of the fifth month?" It is not easy for young people to start a business, we should support our elders, and we should see their rapid growth, not just look at the present; For example, Gao Qiang in my family, his mother and I have always treated him as a child, but since joining the village protection team for more than two months, he has changed so much that I can't believe that this is my son; Today, Ah Shun didn't know what to think, he dared to send him to the battlefield, and he was not afraid, and easily killed a Hun cavalry head-on, which really gave me a long face, which I couldn't have imagined before; Young people change too fast, we are all old and can't keep up, but we can't hold them back. ā
The old village chief said: "I understand what you said, Ah Shun allocates arable land, improves farm tools, and allocates brick houses to the villagers, I know that he has a kind heart, but he can't think about saving the people in the surrounding villages. For Gao Yu, at first I was worried that the village team would not last long, so I didn't let him go, and then I was worried that the village team training was too hard, and I didn't let him go, last month I was worried that he wouldn't be able to pass the challenge, so I stopped him from going, hey, it was a real mistake, old, not as long as you see, and even pulled down the old face to beg Ah Shun, so that Gao Qiang joined the village team early. ā
Gao Jian's heart was full of joy when he said this, he thought that this was the wisest thing he had done in his life, "Hahaha, uncle, even if Gao Yu is now participating in the village protection team, he has been pulled behind Gao Qiang's ass, it is estimated that he will not be able to catch up with Gao Qiang for a while and a half, if the cavalry team continues to expand, I estimate that Gao Qiang has the possibility of improving Dubo; You must know that the person who played today is at least Dubo, and only Gao Qiang is long. ā
"Let Gao Yu participate in the challenge next month, if I can't succeed, I can only give up this old face and beg him."
"Haha, uncle, you can think so."
"Without further ado, I think you'd better run for me, and go and inform the three elders and others as soon as possible, the Huns will definitely come to retaliate, so that they can be prepared to deal with it."
Gao Jian shook his head and said, "Uncle, there's no need, those people are all old foxes, can you imagine that the Huns will come to retaliate?" With such a big movement yesterday afternoon, it is estimated that the county magistrate and others had learned of the news that the Huns were attacking and being completely annihilated yesterday afternoon, and they would definitely have a countermeasure. ā
"Hey, it seems that you are really old, and the future is the world of you young people." The old village chief said in frustration.
