Chapter 20 Assignment of Tasks

Qin Xu rolled his eyes, what are you doing, can labor and management still eat you?

Lu Ling, when I heard it, it was the name of a sissy, no wonder she was so girly.

"You lead the way in front, let's go to the back to see the situation first."

Lu Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief and took Qin Xu and walked towards the back mountain.

When he came to the back mountain and found the slope that the old patriarch said, Qin Xu's face changed.

A little excited, a little quirky, and a little relieved.

I didn't expect this to be an open-pit iron mine, and I don't know why, it wasn't discovered.

No, you can't say that,

Because Qin Xu walked a few steps, he found traces of being mined, and the surrounding stones were also scattered.

It's just that these traces look like they've been around for some years, and they don't look like they were mined by the villagers.

However, none of this was important to Qin Xu, he hurriedly ran back to the village, ready to call someone to come over and mine.

As soon as he returned to the village, he saw that the old patriarch had gathered all the young people in the village.

Seeing Qin Xu coming back, the old patriarch took a few steps forward and said with a sigh on his face:

"Lord Qin, everyone is here, there are a total of fifty young people in Lujiazhuang, but unfortunately Xiaohu left first in the morning, and the remaining forty-nine are here."

Qin Xu looked over one by one, and these young men also stared at him without squinting, their hearts were full of enthusiasm.

After looking at it for a while, Qin Xu asked with some confusion: "Old patriarch, do they usually practice martial arts?" ”

The old patriarch nodded, "Yes, the metropolis has some crops, and when it is difficult, it will go into the mountains to hunt and make up for the difficulties in the village." ”

Qin Xu suddenly realized that when he fought against the bandits just now, he was strange, if they were all ordinary croppers, even if they were hot-blooded, they would be paralyzed if they killed one or two people.

But the dozen or so young men became more and more courageous, as if they had been trained.

Now it seems that it should be the folk customs of this village, some of which are fierce, plus occasionally going out to hunt, it can be regarded as seeing blood.

It is not surprising why the little tiger in the morning is not afraid of the bandits at all.

It's just very strange, how could the bandits target such a small village with no oil and water, no women, and poor birds that don't?

Shaking his head and leaving those strange thoughts behind, Qin Xu waved his hand, and several tigers and leopards rode up, bringing up ten spears and twenty ring-headed knives.

Looking around at everyone's somewhat fiery eyes, Qin Xu coughed dryly twice, and said loudly:

"Everyone has seen it, the bandits are not far from outside and have not left, and now I have got the weapons, if any of you are willing to pick them up and protect your relatives, please come and get them yourself."

As soon as the words fell, more than forty young people rushed forward.

They have also seen the importance of weapons, and with weapons in their hands, they can kill the bandits who show off their might, and this is what they are pursuing.

Soon, under Qin Xu's stunned gaze, twenty ring-headed knives and ten spears were snatched away, leaving thirteen young men with no weapons in their hands, standing there dejectedly.

Coming back to his senses, Qin Xu looked at the thirty-seven people holding weapons with excited expressions, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, you are very good, then from now on, the safety of Lujiazhuang will be in your hands."

After a pause, Qin Xu directly began to divide it.

"From now on, you are divided into three groups, taking turns patrolling the village, and when you encounter bandits, you will do it directly, do you hear?"

"No, sir."

Thirty-seven men shouted in unison, alarming the women and children in the village who were wiping away their tears and packing their things.

Qin Xu waved his hand, and waited until these people were quiet, then he remembered that there were still two weapons that had not been released, so he asked, "Who of you here has the best archery skills?" ”

Everyone was a little dazed, what archery?

Qin Xu patted his head and took out a longbow casually.

Now everyone understood, and they all pointed their fingers at one of the men.

Qin Xu looked at it and laughed, it turned out to be a big tiger, but I don't know what the relationship between this big tiger and the dead little tiger is?

Waving at him, Qin Xu asked, "Do you know how to shoot an arrow?" ”

Dahu nodded, and said with a somewhat nervous expression: "I still have a bow at home, but it lacks feather arrows, so I rarely take it out and use it." ”

Qin Xu's eyes flashed, and he asked, "So you have used it before?" Where did that arrow come from? ”

Big Tiger's expression was a little gloomy, "In the past, the feather arrow was made for us by the blacksmith in the village, but unfortunately, since he died, no one can build it anymore." ”

Qin Xu was relieved, it turned out that in this small village, there were blacksmiths before?

"Okay, since you know how to use them, then give you a bow and two pots of feather arrows, and I hope you can use them to achieve better results."

The big tiger assured with a serious expression: "Lord Qin, don't worry, you must stick all these feather arrows into the bandits." ”

Qin Xu didn't say anything, but took out another bow and asked:

"Do you know anyone else who is good at archery? I still have a bow here. ”

Dahu thought for a moment, then pointed to one of those who had not gotten a weapon, and said:

"I know he's good at archery too, and we grew up together."

Qin Xu also waved at the young man, and after he ran over with excitement on his face, he asked, "What's your name?"

The young man looked a little excited, and his speech was a little incoherent, "Qin, Lord Qin, my name is Dahai, and I am a villager from Lujia Village. ”

Qin Xu handed over the bow and said, "I heard that your archery skills are okay, this bow and this pot of feather arrows will be handed over to you, I hope you don't disappoint your relatives." ”

The sea nodded vigorously and promised loudly: "Lord Qin, please rest assured, as long as I am alive, I will never let the bandits step into the village for half a step,"

Smiling with satisfaction, Qin Xu waved his hand, "You guys go on patrol first, if there is anything, you have to report to me in time." ”

When the people with weapons left in the eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred in the eyes of the eleven people left, the mood was complicated.

There are those who are envious, those who admire, and of course those who are jealous.

Qin Xu looked at the remaining eleven people, as well as the white-faced scholar next to him with a serious face, and waved his hand.

"Go back and get your hoes, and let's go up the mountain to loosen the soil."

"Loose soil?"

Eleven big men said they were a little confused, how can the loose soil be loose? We won't!

Qin Xu didn't explain much, but took everyone with the hoe and went to the back mountain.

When they came to the hillside, everyone was a little stunned, it turned out to be an iron mine, you said it earlier, and it was not the first time, what are you afraid of.
