Chapter 4 Repercussions
By the time the two of them came out of the woods, it was almost dark. Niu Wa is still a teenager after all, although he looks strong, but his body has not yet grown up, and he has walked so far with a prey of dozens of catties on his back, and he is already tired and sweating profusely. Although Lu An had the heart to help him carry a little, he was rejected by him. Lu An was speechless for a while, and wanted to say that he was just joking with him before, even if he couldn't carry it back, he would give it to him, but seeing his persistent appearance, he didn't say it after all, and it didn't hurt to train him.
At this time, it was almost evening, it was the time for the fine family to go home from the field, the official road was full of people, seeing that the two were full of prey, they all looked sideways, their eyes were different, and some people seemed to be familiar with the two, and stepped forward to say hello, although Lu An didn't know each other, but they all responded with a smile.
"Dog, what are you?" There was a shout not far away, Lu An looked at it, but it was his father Lu Sanding, he was holding a hoe in his hand, and his trouser legs were rolled up, he should have also returned from the field, and when he saw Lu An carrying a large number of pheasants and hares, he trotted over and asked in surprise.
"The child had nothing to do, so he went out hunting with the cow baby, and he made a slight catch!" Lu An said indifferently.
"So many of them are what you hit? How is this possible? Lu Sanding was shocked, looked at the prey carried by the two of them, and estimated that there were more than two hundred catties, where can the two children do this, could it be that these two children have done something bad, thinking of this, Lu Sanding's expression became serious: "You guys, did you steal the canteen of a big family?" ”
"How dare we! It's no wonder if you are caught and not killed, uncle, in fact, these are all beaten by the dog baby alone, I just watched from the side, but the dog baby said that as long as I carry these back on my body, these will be given to me! Uncle, you won't disown it! Niu Wa is an honest person in the end, and before Lu An could speak, he opened his mouth and pulled all the things out, and firmly grasped the things on his body while talking, for fear that Lu Sanding would regret it.
"You mean these are all beaten by dogs? It's impossible, the dog baby is almost the same as going to play, where will there be any hunting! When Lu Sanding heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, his own children know that it is almost the same to shoot birds with a slingshot, and it is better to hunt with a hunting bow, I don't have that ability.
"It's true, today I'm in the forest with the dog, and the dog baby beats these beasts with one arrow, it's very tight!" Niu Wa saw that Lu Sanding didn't believe it, and suddenly said with a flushed face. The aggrieved look is as if he is the one who has been questioned.
"Father, take care of it!" Seeing this, Lu An shook his head, took off the short bow on his back, took out the arrow, pulled the bowstring, and aimed at a small sapling in the distance and shot out.
After a burst of wind, the feather arrow was in the middle of the small tree, and the powerful force pierced the trunk of the tree, which was not thick in itself.
"This, this!" The facts were in front of him, Lu Sanding was stunned, looking at his son with an incredible face, and only after half a salary came back to his senses, and stammered and asked: "Dog, dog baby, when did you learn to shoot arrows, and your arm strength is so strong that you can shoot through tree trunks!" ”
"Go home and explain it to your father! It's not convenient to have a lot of people here! Lu An smiled lightly and said.
"It's good, it's good! Come! I'll get a little too! Don't get tired! Lu Sanding nodded, reaching out to take some of the loot from Lu An.
"No need, father, I'm moving on my back, you can help Niu Wa get it, you see that he is tired, he can't hold it anymore!" Lu An shook his head and pointed to Niu Wadao next to him.
"Hmm!" Lu Sanding turned his head to look over, and sure enough, he found that Niu Wa was already tired and panting, her arms were still trembling slightly, and the person was also bent in half. I guess I'll have to lie on the ground after a while.
"No, no, I can take it!" Niu Wa saw Lu Sanding's gaze sweeping over, and hurriedly carried the game on her body tighter, and refused desperately. He firmly remembered that Lu An said that he would give himself as much as he could.
"Hehe, don't be reckless, I was joking with you just now, don't worry, I won't regret these things for you, I asked my father to carry it for you first, and I will return it to you when I get to your house!" Seeing Niu Wa's stubborn appearance, Lu An laughed.
"Really?" When Niu Wa heard this, he looked at Lu Sanding with great joy, although he was honest, but he was not stupid, and he knew that as long as the dog baby and his father agreed to this matter, it would be ironclad.
"Whatever the dog baby says, it's what it is!" Lu Sanding smiled bitterly, although he was very distressed that his son would share one-third of the spoils of war with others, but since his son had opened his mouth, it was naturally not easy to regret it, they were all from the villagers, so as not to be a bad person in the future.
"Thank you, uncle!" Niu Wa immediately grinned, and divided part of the things on his body to Lu Sanding, he was indeed almost exhausted, and he was just dying with a will.
Niu Wa's home was at the head of the village, and after a short time, several people arrived at his door, and Lu An's father and son gave him the game that they promised him, and then rushed to their own door.
", come out of here!" As soon as he walked to the door, Lu Sanding shouted loudly.
"What's the matter, yelling!" Lu Yao walked out of the hall and saw a large pile of animal corpses on the father and son, and was stunned: "This, where did so many mountain goods come from?" ”
"It's all beaten by the dog, the dog is capable, I went out for a day today, and I actually hunted so many mountain goods." Lu Sanding proudly explained what happened.
"This, dog, where did you learn such skills!" Lu Yao also asked in surprise.
"This, it's a bit like a dream, after the child was beaten by the Li brothers yesterday, he dreamed of an old man with a fairy wind bone at night, and told me a lot of things like I have a bone fortune, and then the child got up in the morning and found that his strength had increased greatly and his physique had increased." On the way, Lu An figured out for himself how to explain the strange power in his body, this kind of excuse will definitely be scoffed at in modern times, but in the rather superstitious ancient times, it is quite credible.
"This, it must be a dream of immortals, it is really heaven with eyes, and the gods are blessed!" Sure enough, after hearing this, the Lu couple knelt down towards the east on the spot and thanked the heavens.
"Okay, father, mother, don't worship at this door! The gods won't care about this, so hurry up and deal with these things! I haven't eaten in a day! Lu Anke didn't believe in those gods and Buddhas, so he quickly pulled them up and pointed to the pheasants and hares on his body. Ordinary people only eat two meals a day at home, and they don't have the habit of eating lunch, and Lu An's stomach is already growling with hunger.
"You kid, it doesn't matter if the gods don't care or not, we must thank the gods for their gifts." Lu Yao glanced at his son with disgust, but then laughed happily: "You wait, my mother will cook for you now." ”
"Dog baby, let's transport these mountain goods to the back hall, and then let your mother stew one, and the rest will be sold in the market tomorrow, which can be exchanged for a lot of silver!" Father Lu said as he carried things inside.
"There's no need for that! Can't you keep it all for yourself! Lu An said nonchalantly.
"What nonsense, how can we eat meat every day, or exchange some money! Just save some money for you to marry a daughter-in-law later! Lu Sanding waved his hand.
"It's okay, let's just eat, I'll fight again tomorrow! How much you want! Lu An said very confidently. The surrounding area is full of undeveloped mountains and forests, as long as you have the ability, you are afraid that you will not be able to harvest!
"Sanding, Sanding!" Just as the father and son were chatting, there was a shout from outside the courtyard, and the two looked over and saw an old man walking slowly towards this side.
"Clan Elder! How did you get here? Lu An naturally didn't know this old man, but Father Lu didn't dare to snub him, and hurriedly welcomed the old man in.
"Oh, I heard that your dog baby is out of luck, and today I went out hunting, caught a lot of things, and sent a bunch of them to Niu Wa, Niu Wa is now outside, and people everywhere say this." The clan elder walked in slowly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the game that had just been placed in the corner: "These are the dog babies who have hit the mountain goods!" The dog baby is really promising, even the most famous hunter in this ten miles and eight towns does not have this ability! It's not in vain that I gave him a name, that name was given to him by asking a lot of scholars, and it wasted a lot of effort on my part! ”
"Dizzy, this old man, this is a few meanings, this is to invite merit and receive rewards! But I really don't know that my name was actually taken by him. Seeing the tone between the old man's words and the gaze of the hare in the corner from time to time, Lu An could not understand what he was thinking.
"Yes! Speaking of which, over the years, it has troubled the clan elders to take care of a lot, and today the dog baby has hit a lot of mountain goods, and I will take a roe deer to you to replenish your body! Lu An could see it, and Father Lu could naturally see it, and he immediately said very arrogantly. After all, the clan elder is a respected elder in the village, and he can't be neglected.
"Hey, Sanding, you're too polite, too polite!" The clan elder was overjoyed, and grinned
There are a total of more than 100 households in this village, and when something happens, it is easy to make everyone know, plus Niu Baby is a big mouth, and likes to show off, and soon the Lu family's dog baby hit a lot of mountain goods and spread it loudly, from time to time someone came to the Lu family to visit the door, and for a while, Lu An's house was actually like a market.
The village is so big, they often look up and don't look down, plus with Niu Wa and the clan elder to get things first, it is naturally not good for others to come to the door to let him empty-handed, almost every family comes to the door, the Lu family father and son will send some meat more or less, this back and forth, Lu An's harvest today has gradually disappeared by more than half, making the Lu couple a little anxious, ready to hide the rest, but Lu An waved his hand to stop them, as soon as someone came, he took the initiative to send something. Anyway, these things don't matter to him, they can also give their parents a boost, why not do it, in this way, he has won a reputation for righteousness.
"You kid, why are you so lacking in heart, you said that you gave so many things to Niu Wa, forget it, he is good with you, there are so many people in the village, you will give it when you see someone! I'm going to exchange some money for you to save money for your daughter-in-law! When the crowd dispersed, Lu's father scolded with his head and face, and his mother Lu Yao's expression was also full of disgust.
"Don't worry! Dad, mother, the so-called daughter is scattered and comes back, eats people with short mouths, takes people softly, people who accept our things today, who will not look down on you in the future, and when you go out, you will not raise your face! Lu An smiled slightly and explained.
"Then, you can't send them all! This, this is almost gone! Father Lu pointed to the few wild meat in the corner, and his words were full of distress.
"Don't worry, I'll fight again tomorrow, as much as I want! Just look at it! Lu An smiled indifferently, as long as he has a hard foundation, are you afraid that he won't be able to hunt!
"Hey, dog, you finally know what's going on, let's do it yourself!" Father Lu originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Lu An's confident look, he finally turned into a light sigh. Children have their own opinions and some abilities, so they really shouldn't be controlled everywhere like before.
