From a distance, I saw a bunch of people surrounded by the boss outside Wu Qiang's thatched house, both old and young. They are all people from Wujiazhuang, all with grief and indignation on their faces, and they can't help wiping their tears.

Wu Ji is a big man in Wujiazhuang, as soon as he arrived, these people made way for him, Wu Ji went to the innermost without hindrance, and at a glance, he couldn't help but tumble and almost vomited.

It turned out to be a stretcher made of a few old vines and branches, and on it was a man, a man with blurred flesh and blood. The two arms were almost separated from the shoulders, and only a little flesh and skin were connected. The right leg is not visible at all, and I don't know where it is.

It's a brutal dismemberment, disgusting.

"Quick, take the boy away, and don't let them see it." Wu Ji suddenly remembered something and commanded loudly.

"Oh! Ji'er is right! Take the little cubs away! Wu Qing couldn't stop wiping his tears, and suddenly came to his senses, greatly agreeing with Wu Ji's statement.

The adults hurriedly pulled the boy away, and some people covered the boy's eyes. It's just that the boys are very curious, they can't help but struggle, they can't fight the adults, and they can only leave unwillingly.

Wu Ji resisted the urge to vomit, and when he looked closely, there were claw marks on the corpse's shoulders and tooth marks on his right leg.

"Ji'er, you must have seen that Wu Qiang was bitten to death by the bear. Ay! Wu Qing sighed, and without any follow-up, he kept wiping his tears.

"Wu Qiang?" Wu Ji was very shocked, if it wasn't for Wu Qing to say, he really wouldn't have recognized it. It's not that Wu Ji has a bad eye, it's because this corpse is so ruined that it doesn't look good, and his face is sparse, where can he recognize it.

The young man who carried himself home yesterday has a surname that jumps off, loves to talk and laugh, and has a very good temperament for Wu Ji, and Wu Ji has a very good impression of Wu Qiang. Where did you think that today, he was bitten alive by the bear.

Wu Ji's mouth was open for a long time, but he didn't make a sound, he didn't want to believe it, but he had to believe it.

"Third uncle, what happened to this?" Wu Ji inquired.

"Hey!" Wu Qing sighed before speaking, and briefly talked about the experience.

It turned out that they set out early in the morning to hunt bears, and the group was very happy, thinking that they could hunt a bear. This bear is full of treasures, and bear meat can be eaten, which is a great tonic. They had studied the footprints in advance and knew that it was a giant bear, and that the bear skin and bear bile would definitely sell for a good price, in which case it would be equivalent to planting land for several years.

Although they made all the preparations, they still didn't expect that this bear was too big, bigger than they imagined, and it was not much worse than the big bull, at least four or five hundred catties.

This bear is not only very big, but also very cunning, and even goes around in circles with them. At the beginning, Wu Qing and the others got together, and they took care of each other, and after a few circles, the people dispersed. Wu Qiang was alone, and the bear suddenly pounced on him and bit him to death.

Wu Qing and the others heard the shouting and hurried over, but it was too late. When the matter came to this, he had no intention of hunting bears again, so he could only pull some mountain vines, cut some branches, make a simple stretcher, and carry Wu Qiang's body back.

"Woo!"

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl threw herself on Wu Qiang's corpse and cried very sadly. She is Wu Qiang's younger sister, Wu Xiaoniang, with fair skin and a bit of beauty, and she is a rare beauty in Wujiazhuang.

Wu Qiang's father died early, and his mother remarried, leaving the two siblings to depend on each other. Now, Wu Qiang is dead, and Wu Xiaoniang has lost her support, crying so much that she almost faints.

"Ji'er, what do you say you should do? The third uncle was messed up and had no claims. Wu Qing was at a loss and had to ask Wu Ji for advice.

"Third uncle, where is this bear's den?" Wu Ji did not answer immediately, but inquired.

"Bear's den? It's not far from here, and if you don't get rid of this bear, it will definitely harm the village. This bear is too big, too cunning, how can it be removed? Wu Qing looked worried.

Wu Ji is worried about this, if this bear den is too close to the village, sooner or later it will come to harm people and animals. Wu Ji asked some more about bears, and it was basically clear, but there was no way to hunt bears.

"If there are guns, no, all I need is a lathe to make them, and I can make guns and get rid of the bears. But where do you get the tools now? It's just gunpowder. Wu Ji is very sorry, if there is a lathe, with Wu Ji's knowledge of weapons, he can make a rifle. If you really want a rifle, no matter how big the bear is, it's just a dish. The problem is that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and Wu Jikong has mastered so much knowledge of weapons.

"Third uncle, we have to do two things right now." Wu Ji began to come up with ideas: "One is to do things for Wu Qiang." ”

"Hmmm! This is to be done. What about the second piece? Wu Qing asked.

"The second thing is to report to the county and ask the county magistrate to send someone to hunt bears." Wu Ji then came up with an idea.

At that time, there were many wild beasts, tigers, leopards, and bears, which would enter the village from time to time and bite people and animals. Generally speaking, when this happens, the government will send people to hunt bears, and if the matter is reported to Guixin County, the magistrate will definitely send troops to come.

"Yes, yes, it's time to do it!" Wu Qing was very in favor of this idea: "Zheng Zhixian is a good official, for the sake of the people, if we report it, he will definitely send troops to come." Ji'er, here you advocate, I'll take a few people, I'll go into the city, and I'll be back later. ”

Wu Qiang's future affairs have to be done, and the safety of people and animals in Wujiazhuang is also important, and it is best to act separately. Wu Qing was the patriarch of Wujiazhuang, and he spoke with great weight, so he immediately picked up three young people and rushed to Guixin County.

"Actually, you don't have to have a firearm to hunt bears, you can use bombs. However, this is the most troublesome way to detonate. Wu Ji sent Wu Qing away, and couldn't help but turn his mind back to the matter of hunting bears.

It is not difficult to make bombs, with gunpowder, it is no problem to make earth bombs, but the difficulty lies in how to blow up bears. Bears are alive and can run, and even modern grenades can't blow them up unless they find a clever way to detonate them. Modern remote control detonation technology is good, the problem is that this is simply out of reach, not even a lathe, let alone remote control detonation technology.

Wu Ji is a big man, and no one dares to disobey his words, so he has to do it. Under the command of Wu Ji, Wu Qiang's aftermath was carried out in an orderly manner.

After this incident, Yang Xiuxiu did not go to work again, but came back to help Zhang Luo.

When it was almost dark, Wu Qing and the others came back, and there were twenty Song soldiers with them, led by a ten general, named Luo Yuansheng.

Ten generals, equivalent to the current squad leader, manage ten people, so they are called ten generals.

"The efficiency of this Zheng County Order is quite high, I went to report it today, and I sent someone today." Wu Ji had to praise the efficiency of this Zheng County Order.

Bows and arrows, swords, spears, armor, and helmets with brims were the equipment of the Song army. Wu Ji looked at these equipment, and was a little surprised, the quality was not good, and the size was uneven.

The equipment of the army should be standard equipment, that is, standardized, and there is not much difference in size. However, the Song army's guns were long and short, and the gap was obvious.

What surprised Wu Ji even more was that there were twenty people, five archers, five gunners, and ten swordsmen. Their equipment was very simple, the archers had no other equipment but bows and arrows, the gunners only had guns, and the knifemen only had hemp knives.

On the battlefield, the situation can change rapidly, and if the enemy rushes closer, if there is a sword, it can be fought even if the bow and arrow cannot be used. Archers have no equipment except bows and arrows, so isn't that looking for death?

If the gunner or swordman has a bow and arrow, he can also put a few arrows before the enemy rushes closer, giving him more chance of killing and injuring the enemy. They have no bows and arrows except knives and guns, and they waste their opportunities.

"You are Little Lady Wu? Your brother was killed by a bear, don't be sad, I'll avenge you. Luo Yuansheng had an evil light in his eyes, and he didn't stop looking at Wu Xiaoniang, and he was about to come up and go straight to Wu Xiaoniang's side.

"Do you have chickens and wine? Take it out and give us food and drink. We have eaten and drunk enough before we have the strength to hunt bears. "A soldier began to blackmail, and he looked like a big man.

"Is there a beautiful young lady? We pay for it, and we want to be happy! Another soldier's mouth was not clean, and a pair of eyes did not stop sliding around on the woman of Wujiazhuang.

The young lady of the Song Dynasty was a prostitute, and he was asking if he had done a leather and meat business.

It's an insult! What a big insult!

The people of Wujiazhuang are all honest croppers, how can they do such a thing? These words aroused the anger of the people of Wujiazhuang, and the man clenched his fists even more, and his muscles jumped violently, and the woman had to hide behind the man's back, for fear of being discovered by these soldiers.
