Chapter 14: Conversion County

The care of his fathers is always heartwarming, and Wu Ji couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he looked at the sincerity and care on Wu Qinglao's face. In the Wu family, although there are prodigal sons like Wu Liang, there are more kind people, and there is no shortage of elders who care about themselves, and Wu Qing is the one who cares about him the most.

"Third uncle, nephew remembers." Wu Ji had a gentle smile on his face.

"Remember? Keep it in mind! Wu Qing was still not at ease, and once again advised: "You are a big man in the Wu family, you can't be injured, you know?" ”

The little junior high school student turned out to be a big man, so respected, Wu Ji was a little speechless, so he had to follow Wu Qing's words. Wu Qing was satisfied and let Wu Ji go.

The next thing was much simpler, Wu Qing summoned Ding Zhuang in Zhuangzi and carried the bear back.

Bears, tigers, and leopards were the most feared beasts of the ancients, and there were endless cases of biting people and animals. This bear, although it has not yet entered the village, has already posed a huge threat to the village, no one knows when to bite people and livestock, Wu Ji to get rid of the bear, is a major event in the whole village.

As soon as the news spread, the whole village was boiling, and all the people put down their work and rushed over, all of them with smiles on their faces, and they were happier than the New Year's holidays.

Correspondingly, Wu Ji, a hero, became the hero of Wujiazhuang and was loved and respected by the villagers. Wu Ji is still a showman, a showman and a hero, and the combination of these two identities makes the respect of the villagers reach an overwhelming level.

The happiest is Wu Qiang's sister, Wu Xiaoniang. Wu Qiang died under the claws of this bear, she no longer looked forward to revenge all the time, and now, finally revenge, she was both sad and happy, and couldn't stop kowtowing to Wu Ji, and said vigorously: "Brother Xiucai, thank you!" Thank you! Thank you for avenging your brother! ”

Listening to the joyful words of the villagers, Yang Xiuxiu was particularly proud, Wu Ji is not only a talent, but also has such an ingenious method, extraordinary knowledge, married such a gentleman, what more can a husband ask for?

She was so satisfied!

Although Wu Ji is very poor and has a family surrounded by walls, after she got married, she suffered a lot. However, at this moment, she thinks that God treats her well, and she marries such a good Langjun!

The villagers slaughtered chickens and ducks to celebrate until after midnight, when they gradually subsided. If it weren't for the evening, with Wu Qing's mood, he couldn't wait to immediately lead someone to get the bear to the county, ask the county order for a reward, and publicize Wu Ji's merits.

Tonight, the villagers did their best, eating and drinking a lot, Wu Ji had a big meal, only to feel that the delicacy was far beyond the pen and ink could describe. That feeling was the happiest thing he had ever eaten in his two lives.

"Xiuxiu, Ming'er entered the city and received the bounty, let's leave here and go out!" As soon as he returned home, Wu Ji couldn't help it and excitedly discussed with Yang Xiuxiu.

There are too few people in this mountain village, Wu Ji has great ability, and it is impossible to show it here, and it is inevitable to go out of the mountain col and look for a broader stage.

Before that, Wu Ji's family was too poor and too restricted. Now that the bear has been hunted and the bounty is about to arrive, it's time to plan for the future.

"Going out?"

Yang Xiuxiu is so big, she hasn't walked out of the mountain col yet, and the farthest is the grass market. The so-called grass market is the rural market of the Song Dynasty, the nearest grass market is not far from Wujiazhuang, ten miles away, this is the farthest place Yang Xiuxiu went.

"Yes! The closest to us is Conversion County, but Conversion County is not very large. If you want to say that the most suitable is Xiongzhou. As soon as this is over, let's go to Xiongzhou! There, it should be possible to make a lot of money. Wu Ji's mind turned, and he began to think about the way to make money.

Xiongzhou is the largest city in this area, and it is an important military town, and it is the city that resisted the attack of the Liao State in the Song Dynasty. There are a lot of Song troops stationed here, Wu Ji wants to make a big bomb, and it is the most promising to go to Xiongzhou, which is to fall in the pile of money, and there are many benefits.

"Ahh Going to Xiongzhou? Yang Xiuxiu was even more surprised. For her, a girl who has never been out of a mountain village, it is very good to be able to go to Guixin County, which is a great blessing, let alone Xiongzhou.

"Wu Lang, where you go, I'll follow. As long as you don't say I'm bad. After a short period of surprise, Yang Xiuxiu was the only one who looked forward to Wu Ji.

This matter was decided, Wu Ji was very happy and went to bed happily.

This night, Wu Ji slept very sweetly, and had a big dream, that is, the bomb he made blew up the Liao army, and the corpses were like a mountain, which was particularly popular and made a lot of money, similar to a mountain of gold.

Early the next morning, Wu Ji called Wu Qing out of bed. Wu Qing has already found Ding Zhuang, and their task is to carry the bear to Guixin County.

According to Wu Ji's meaning, there is no need to carry the bear away, just need to pick up the skin and take the bear leash. For this kind of thing, you only need to give the government a piece of evidence to prove that you really caught a bear, this bear is very large, and the bear skin can fully prove this.

Wu Qing refused to live or die, according to his words, this was a good opportunity for Wu Ji to preach. Although Guixin County is a small place, there are also a few talents, but none of these shows have Wu Ji's skills, and they can use this ingenious method to hunt bears, so they must be publicized to Wu Ji.

Wu Ji is a big man in Wujiazhuang, the only talent, the higher Wu Ji's status, the greater the fame, the more face-saving the people in Wujiazhuang, the more respected they are when they go out to see people.

This proposal was unanimously responded to by the people of Wujiazhuang, and it was decided. Wu Ji couldn't resist them, so he had to rely on them.

Ding Zhuang has another task, which is to carry Wu Ji. Wu Ji is a big man and should be respected, and it is low-key enough not to be carried in a sedan chair, not to mention, Wu Ji's body is so weak, if he wants to go to the county seat, it is impossible, and he can only be carried by Ding Zhuang. Ding Zhuang is very happy about this, this is a rare opportunity to get close to Wu Daxiucai!

In a hurry, a group of people carried the bear and Wu Ji on their backs, and marched towards Guixin County.

Wu Ji originally wanted Yang Xiuxiu to go with him, but Yang Xiuxiu was unwilling to stay at home, and Wu Ji could only let her.

Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, and praised Wu Ji with words they didn't know much. It's a pity that they are simple farmers, they don't know many words, to put it mildly, just a few words, such as Wu Ji is amazing, very great, etc., and there are no other words.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, walking like flying, dozens of miles of mountain roads are not the same thing, two hours later, they arrived at Guixin County.

Wu Ji saw that Guixin County was not big, no more than a few miles around the city, and there were only a few hundred households in the city, adding up to only three or four thousand people. This kind of city is a small city on the border, with few people and few households, and it is not prosperous enough.

The only bright spot is that the walls are built high and thick, and they are exceptionally strong, which can completely withstand the impact of thousands of troops. This is a border city, which will be attacked by the Liao army from time to time, and strengthening it is the first important thing for the border city.

There are many traces of swords and arrows on the city wall, as well as many traces of collision, and its color is a little black, exuding a faint fishy smell, which should be the remnants of the great war. It can be seen that there have been bloody battles in this city.

"It's a great place to buy and sell arms!" Wu Ji saw it in his eyes, his eyes lit up, and he was very bright.

When is the arms trade most popular? Of course, it's a time when wars are frequent!

Where is the arms trade most popular? A place where wars are frequent, of course!

A border city like Guixin County has been baptized by war, and it will be attacked by the Liao army from time to time. If Wu Ji makes a bomb, it will definitely be very popular.

The group passed through the city and came to the county office. The county government is in the center of the city, covering a small area, with more than a dozen houses, forming a small courtyard. A county government in a small county like this cannot be magnificent, let alone occupy an extremely wide area.

There were a few messengers guarding the gate of the county government, and when they saw Wu Ji and them coming, they couldn't help but be surprised, and one of them asked, "Where are you from?" How do you give birth to a bear when you look up? ”

"My lord, we are from Wujiazhuang. Our village was recently hit by a bear plague that killed my nephew. Fortunately, our big man in Wujiazhuang, Wu Xiucai, is a hero, and he has another strange way to hunt this bear! Wu Qing smiled and spoke cautiously, but he didn't forget to boast to Wu Ji: "Lord Zheng offered a reward of fifty taels of silver, and Wu Xiucai came to receive the reward." ”

"You are from Wujiazhuang? Lord Zheng is recruiting hunters and preparing to go bear hunting. Unexpectedly, you hunted and killed. Who is Wu Xiucai? "Another errand officer, very surprised.

"This is Wu Xiucai!" Wu Qing pointed at Wu Ji, bowed his body, it was almost ninety degrees, and he was very respectful to Wu Ji.

Although Wu Ji is his nephew, in front of outsiders, he doesn't dare to mention it, and can only be regarded as a high-ranking talent.

"You are Wu Xiucai?" Several officers looked surprised, their eyes widened, and they didn't stop walking around on Wu Ji, as if Wu Ji was a diorama, which was very attractive.
