Chapter 30 Officers and Soldiers Can't Fight the Bandits

When the figures of these five people disappeared into the mountains, Lin Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he recognized these people, from the first time he saw their clothes, Lin Xifeng knew that these people were a group of bandits nearby.

Speaking of which, this gang of thieves and the people of Xihu County are also old acquaintances, for no other reason, this gang of bandits will go to Xihu County every other month to plunder things, but their temperament is not like the heinous bad guys, they usually leave after grabbing what they want, and never take the initiative to hurt people.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Xifeng dared to ask for a fair competition with them, because he knew their habits, eight times out of ten. Jiu will have a fair duel with him, otherwise, Lin Xifeng will definitely not have any polite thoughts with them, and directly strike first, rushing up with a nunchuck to catch them off guard, first knocking the two guys with bows and arrows to the ground, and then stepping on the bows and arrows, not giving them a chance to use bows and arrows.

As for hand-to-hand combat, nunchucks are sharp weapons, and Lin Xifeng is not afraid of them.

Normally, this gang of bandits would go to Xihu County in the middle of each month to loot items, but now it is the beginning of August, counting the days, it is almost time for them to visit Xihu County.

As for why the officers and soldiers didn't go to exterminate the bandits, the reason is a bit funny, because the officers and soldiers can't kill the bandits, and the regular soldiers in the entire Xihu County are only 100 people, and this gang of bandits has gathered more than 200 people, and there are not as many officers and soldiers as the bandits......

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, those in power have vigorously advocated the measures of emphasizing literature over military force, in order to prevent military generals from usurping the throne, and try their best to suppress military generals, resulting in the local army not only small in number, but also low combat effectiveness, and the small area of Xihu County is only a few hundred officers and soldiers, so that now even the bandits can not do it.

"Sooner or later, I have to clean up this gang of bandits for the civilians of Xihu County......" Lin Xifeng couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart, thinking of the look in the eyes of the handsome young man when he left, he knew that this matter was not over, and the bandits would come to him sooner or later for trouble, especially the "big king" in their mouths, although this person was a bandit and had a lowly status, but Lin Xifeng had seen his skills, which was really good.

"Xianggong...... You...... What's that thing? On the way back, Liu Lian'er still couldn't help asking.

"Oh, this thing! This is a weapon that I asked a good craftsman to build for me a few days ago, and I call it a nunchuck. Lin Xifeng explained with a smile.

"Nunchucks?" Liu Lian'er read silently, frowning slightly, obviously she had never heard of this name, but she didn't pursue it, for the entire Lin family, she knew too little things, and it was natural for Lin Xifeng to do some strange things outside.

"But Xianggong, your skills are so good!" Thinking that Lin Xifeng had just defeated the big man neatly, Liu Lian'er couldn't help but have a little star in his eyes.

Lin Xifeng glanced at her with a smile: "Stealing from school." ”

There are no small stairs in front of the gate of the Lin Mansion, and it is relatively spacious, so the carriage can travel directly into it.

Entering the house, Lin Xifeng consciously became a coolie, took down a jar of wine, and put it in the yard, fortunately, Lin Xifeng had a good physique, although he was a little tired, but he would not be able to hold the jar.

Liu Lian'er was picking vegetables and washing vegetables by the well, the two of them hadn't even eaten lunch yet, they were already hungry, she couldn't help Lin Xifeng's work, so she could only do what she could.

The wine in the carriage has two layers, ten jars on each floor, Lin Xifeng just moved down the upper layer of wine, and the lower layer was left in the carriage, seeing the willow curtain in the yard, Lin Xifeng picked up a jar of wine and went back to the side room, closed the door, opened the wine jar, and the faint fragrance spread in the room, and the taste was not as strong as the modern liquor.

Lin Xifeng poured some wine in the cup, put it to his lips and took a sip, first taste the taste of the original wine, the taste is very light and light, Lin Xifeng consciously with his amount of wine, he may not be drunk after drinking half a jar of wine.

Carefully took out a case of sake from the storage bag, opened the lid of the package and one of the bottles, and the rich aroma of the sake suddenly overshadowed the jar of sake, and then poured out about one-tenth of the liquor in the jar, shook the jar, swayed evenly, and then poured out some tasting.

The taste is better than before, with a hint of wine, but it is still not too obvious, it stands to reason that this wine can already be called a good wine in the Song Dynasty, but Lin Xifeng's purpose is to make the taste of the wine reach the point of amazement of the Song people, not only good wine, but at the same time, you can't waste too much liquor, you can save a little bit, and you have to take a balance in the middle.

After pouring a little more liquor in the wine jar, Lin Xifeng tasted it, and then nodded more satisfied, first that's it, it's almost enough, after all, he only has two boxes of liquor on him now, and he can't waste too much for the time being, even if he wants to increase the concentration of sake in the future to make the wine taste more mellow, he has to wait for him to bring more liquor back to modern times.

A total of about a quarter of the bottles of liquor were poured into the sake, so that a total of five bottles of liquor were needed for twenty jars of sake, which is not a large number, which is completely acceptable.

Lin Xifeng sealed the wine jar, calculated the amount and poured the liquor into the cup, walked to the courtyard with the cup, and poured about two halves of the liquor in the wine jar one by one, because Liu Lian'er was in the yard, it was naturally impossible for him to run out with the liquor bottle.

This work cannot be completed at one time, and it took several rounds to get twenty jars of wine.

"What did Xianggong pour into the wine?" Liu Lian'er stopped washing vegetables, turned her head and asked crisply.

"This is the cooking wine made by the secret recipe, and when mixed with the wine, it can make the wine taste better." Lin Xifeng looked up and replied with a smile.

Liu Lian'er let out a soft "oh", then turned back and continued to work.

Lunch is Lin Xifeng's own cooking, fried a plate of vegetables and a plate of chicken on rice, willow curtain naturally eats more fragrant, Lin Xifeng's cooking skills and the deliciousness of modern ingredients are not the main reason for her cheerful eating, the main reason is that her heart knot is untied, as if she sees that the happy life in the future is beckoning to her, and now even if she is allowed to eat dry rice, she can eat very fragrant.

After lunch, it was already the end of the day (around three o'clock in the afternoon), this lunch was indeed eaten late, as usual, Lin Xifeng got cough medicine for Liu Lian'er for her to take, as for the Chinese medicine grabbed from Hangye Pharmacy, it was taken once a day, only at night before going to bed.

Lin Xifeng moved the sake back to the carriage and drove the carriage towards Keju Field, although Liu Lian'er wanted to follow, but Lin Xifeng was really tired after she had been running around for most of the day, so she was not allowed to let her rest in the house.

Ye Tianheng's little eyes were very sharp, Lin Xifeng was caught by his eyes as soon as he arrived at the Keju field, dropped his bow and hurriedly ran towards the latter, and kept shouting: "Brother Xifeng, did you bring your wine?" ”

"It's all in the carriage!" Lin Xifeng replied loudly with a smile.

After Ye Tianheng heard his words, he ran towards Li Yingcheng, talked with him, and after a while, he ran to him again, Lin Xifeng saw this, and guessed that this kid must be taking leave with Li Yingcheng.

"Brother Xifeng, I'll take you to my aunt's house now." When Ye Tianheng ran to Lin Xifeng and said this, his two eyes couldn't help but glance behind Lin Xifeng, obviously a little absent-minded.

Lin Xifeng knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Red blood is resting in my house!" I'll bring it to you later. ”

"Hey...... Brother Xi Feng, I didn't mean that. Seeing through Lin Xifeng's thoughts, Ye Tianheng scratched his head with a red face and said embarrassedly.

"Okay, don't pretend, I know you're tight on the red-blooded baby, let's go! Hurry up and get in the carriage and go to your aunt's house. Lin Xifeng patted the "passenger seat" in front of the carriage and laughed loudly.
