"What? Could it be that some people in our camp went to the village to cause trouble, and they didn't dare to come to me to ask for a complaint, so they could only mumble behind their backs? ”

Hearing Lu Ren's question, Wan'er hurriedly shook her head: "No, no!" When the lord and Li Duwei first arrived here, they strictly ordered the people in the camp not to harass the villagers, and in the past few months, Wan'er has often gone to the small village to change some fresh vegetables and vegetables, and heard the words of praise from the villagers in her ears to the adults......"

Lu Ren was stunned: "Why do you often go to the village to change vegetables?" Are you going alone or are you guarded? Don't worry me about anything! ”

Wan'er's pretty face flushed slightly: "At the beginning, there were guards to protect Wan'er, but in the past month or so, the villagers have sent Wan'er directly to ......."

Lu Ren pursed his lips a little reassuringly, remembered the matter and asked, "What did those village women say?" ”

Wan'er said: "I vaguely heard them say that because of Cao Gong's raising of troops, many young and strong people in the village were recruited and there were not many left, and they were often unable to carry water and water the fields in ordinary times. A while ago, I saw that the waterwheel erected by the Lord was very convenient, and I was envious in my heart......"

Lu Ren squinted at Wan'er, frowned slightly, and said: "Wan'er-those villagers only dare to talk behind their backs, but they don't dare to come to me to ask for a meeting, and besides, those waterwheels are difficult to make without special craftsmen, even if they want to imitate, they don't have the ability...... Okay, Wan'er, you actually played a trick in front of me! They didn't dare to say to me, but now you are so cautious to open your mouth to me, do you want me to help set up a water wheel on the farmland in the small village? ”

Wan'er was slightly startled, hurriedly knelt down to Lu Ren on the shore with her feet off the water, and said, "Wan'er, Wan'er is wrong!" Forgive your sins! ”

"......" Lu Ren sighed softly, reached out to pinch the tip of Wan'er's nose and said, "You stupid girl!" You're too kind-hearted, and you're a girl who can't play tricks at all. Actually, you didn't say anything just now, but I can tell what you're trying to do when I look at your face. Okay, okay, get up, the corners of your skirts are wet. ”

Wan'er was a little timid and didn't dare to get up: "Wan'er, Wan'er knows that she is wrong, she shouldn't rely on the Lord's forgiveness for Wan'er...... Wan'er didn't dare in the future. Forgive your sins! ”

Lu Ren looked at Wan'er carefully for a while, couldn't help but reach out and scratch her scalp violently, and said secretly in her heart: "If you were really that kind of girl who doesn't know good or bad, I would have already given you away XXOO first, where would I want to take you back to modern times?" ”

Shaking his head and smiling, he said, "Get up, sit down!" ”

"Yes, yes......"

Wan'er sat back beside Lu Ren again, but her head was buried low, not daring to meet Lu Ren's gaze. Lu Ren saw it in his eyes, and felt pity in his heart for a while, stretched out his fingers and hooked Wan'er's pointed chin and smiled: "Okay, okay, I didn't say I want to blame you, did I?" Besides, you also want to do something good for the villagers...... But don't do it again in the future, just say anything to me, I will do what I can do or what I can help. ”

Wan'er avoided Lu Ren's gaze, and still said softly carefully: "The Lord forgives sins, Wan'er will never dare to do it in the future." ”

“…… You girl. ”

As soon as the fingers were withdrawn, Wan'er's head lowered again. Lu Ren was a little helpless, his eyes rolled a few times, and he suddenly made a grimace: "Wan'er, look-"

When Wan'er heard this, she was amused by Lu Ren's grimace and laughed, but after laughing, she covered her mouth in a hurry and wanted to lower her head again. Seeing this, Lu Ren pouted and said, "If you lower your head like this and don't dare to speak, I'm angry!" I didn't say I was going to blame you! Raise your head and smile at me! ”

Wan'er raised her head cautiously, trying to squeeze out a smile at Lu Ren, but she was greeted by Lu Ren's grimace again. Wan'er was stunned and hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, but finally couldn't help laughing.

"Hmph...... Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm......"

Seeing that Wan'er could finally laugh, Lu Ren pinched the tip of Wan'er's nose again, but remembered a very similar line in a certain movie, and suddenly "deeply understood": "What is this?" I don't like the good, but I like the weird. It's so tiring to make girls laugh! ”

After laughing, Wan'er finally returned to her original nature, but she still cautiously asked Lu Ren: "Lord, ...... about the villagers erecting waterwheels?"

Lu Ren said: "Actually, there are three waterwheels in the artisan room in the camp that are prepared for the villagers, but the craftsmen in our camp have been very tight, and they can't draw people for the time being, and I haven't been able to go to the village to ask them if they want this thing." Otherwise, you can go to the village again in two days and tell the villagers to come and see me. ”

"Thank you, Lord!" Wan'er finally smiled sincerely at this moment.

Lu Ren also smiled, and then soaked his feet to think about things: "This girl, she is really too kind-hearted......"

Looking at Wan'er sitting quietly beside Lu Ren, she didn't dare to disturb Lu Ren's thoughts. But Wan'er is only a sixteen-year-old girl after all, and she still has some childlike heart. After sitting for a little longer, Wan'er couldn't help but gently paddle her feet in the water, and her mouth gently hummed a little "hey, hey".

The voice was not loud, but it still alarmed Lu Ren, and he turned his head and asked, "What are you playing?" ”

"Oh, Lord forgiveness! Hey, ran away! ”

"What ran away?"

"Tadpoles! There were several tadpoles at Wan'er's feet just now......"

"Tadpoles...... That's right! Tadpole! Frog! Toad!! Lu Ren jumped up suddenly, and even ignored the fact that his feet that were originally inserted in the water brought a splash of water to wet the placket of their clothes, and suddenly realized to himself: "Why am I desperately thinking about pesticides, substitutes and other things!?" I can't do it this year! ”

Wan'er was confused: "Lord, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lu Ren excitedly pressed Wan'er's shoulders and said, "Kiss Wan'er, you just reminded me!" I'll reward you with a kiss! ”

Before Wan'er came to her senses, Lu Ren had already kissed Wan'er on the forehead, and then jumped ashore and wanted to run to the camp. Seeing this, Wan'er hurriedly exclaimed: "Lord, you put on ...... first"

"Ouch!!" This is Lu Ren stepping on a sharp stone and jumping up with his feet in his hands.

“…… Straw sandals. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

The next day, when it was dawning, Lu Ren came to the open space in the center of the camp with his hands behind his back, humming a minor tune all the way, and there were more than 100 people gathered in this open space, and they saluted Lu Ren together when they saw Lu Ren arrive.

Lu Ren waved his hand very casually to signal his body, and then Li Dian walked over with a look of incomprehension and said, "Brother Lu, what did you want to do when you asked me to choose these 100 people yesterday afternoon?" ”

Lu Ren smiled, first waved his hand to signal Li Dian not to say anything, walked straight to the front of the team and randomly ordered a few people to come out of the ranks, and then asked these people to stand up straight, and he measured his height one by one. After comparing them, Lu Ren nodded with great satisfaction, because the height of these people was shorter than Lu Ren, probably all of them were Lu Ren's chin, while the others were about the same as these people.

Li Dian became more and more confused, and couldn't help but step forward and said, "Brother Lu, please rest assured, I asked people to measure it with a rope ruler last night...... But if you ask me to choose 100 people who are less than 6 feet 5 inches long (about 1.6 meters, one Han foot is about 24.2cm) and are flexible, what is this for? ”

Lu Ren smiled: "I want these people to catch some living creatures." ”

"Catch a living thing!?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt a tense heart. In those days, when the generals, bureaucrats or wealthy people went out hunting, they often brought some nimble people as bait. And how dangerous is it to act as bait to lure animals?

Lu Ren has been in this era for so long, so he naturally knows the miscellaneous things here. Now that these people's expressions were in their eyes, Lu Ren's face immediately stiffened, and he shouted loudly: "What, I want you to catch some living creatures, don't you want to do it in your heart?" I asked myself, since I came here, I have been pretty good to you, why do I want you to do something now, but you are reluctant to do something? ”

A hundred people looked at each other, but soon someone knelt down on one knee to Lu Ren and said, "The villain doesn't dare!" I would like to listen to Captain Lu's dispatch! ”

Someone took the lead, and the rest of the people naturally knelt down with the wind, saying that they were willing to obey the order. Lu Ren nodded with satisfaction, and after letting everyone get up, he waved his hand very seriously and seriously: "Listen well, a hundred people can be organized according to their relatives and friends!" You are divided into twenty groups (groups of five) within a quarter of an hour, and you can go quickly!! ”

There was a lot of chaos, and the twenty soldiers were in place. Lu Ren saw that they were all organized, and ordered again: "Go to the craftsman camp quickly, and each army will receive two buckets, four bamboo tubes, two sacks, three bamboo baskets, and one flat pole!" ”

Gunnysack? Bucket? Bamboo? Also bamboo basket plus flat shoulder??

Everyone was confused, but if the order came down, they had to do it quickly, otherwise it would not be a joke for the military stick to serve. It was another rush, and the twenty soldiers fought back and forth, and all the things that should be received were also in hand. And at this time, Li Dian's brows almost didn't screw together, saying that Lu Ren was going out of the camp to hunt, but when he looked at the "equipment" in the hands of these people, he didn't look like it.

Looking at Lu Ren and inspecting the equipment in the hands of the twenty soldiers with his hands behind his back, he nodded slightly when he saw that there was no mistake, and then stood back in front of the team and shouted loudly: "Listen, the living creatures I want you to catch may be difficult to catch, so you must work with twelve points of spirit to succeed!" ”

These words made everyone's hearts tense again, and some of the less courageous ones even had a handful of sweat in their palms, nervously waiting for Lu Ren's final order to be issued.

Lu Ren glanced at everyone again, suddenly raised his left arm, raised three fingers with a super serious expression, and said, "Listen carefully, I want you to go to the pond and stream outside the camp to catch these three living creatures - tadpoles, frogs, and toads...... Oh, it's a toad!! ”

Tadpoles, frogs, toads!?

These twenty soldiers, plus Li Dian and the guards, all looked at each other. You said that Lu Ren was so serious and serious before, everyone thought that he was going to catch some jackals and beasts, but it turned out that he wanted to catch these three things......
