The service club is very popular, and the members of the Nine-headed Bird basically came over after the disbandment, and at first they just wanted to know what the points could be exchanged for. Later, when I saw that it was so cost-effective to buy things with points, I was reluctant to leave.

There are a lot of points on the points book of each team member, many such as Zhang Donggou, who killed seven people before and after a crackdown on bandits, and usually performed well, so there were 10,000 points in the final book. If you have fewer points, you will have at least 1,000 points to base upon. Such a rich reward is naturally because everyone's performance is really good, and it is also because the team also ate a windfall of nearly 30,000 taels this time, so naturally they will not hesitate to reward the team members.

A thousand points, which is also worth ten taels of silver, are worth more when exchanged for goods.

After Liu Jun made some arrangements after the holiday in the camp, he also came to the service club to change something and go home. Although he is the captain, he usually has a salary, and now he also has points. Liu Jun's book is not the most, but it is not a lot, with 8,000 points. There are a lot of things in the service club, and this service club is his idea, and then Li Chunjiang fully supported it, borrowed the hands of the Li family, and when they were still suppressing bandits in the cottage, the Li family had already helped them prepare.

All kinds of commodities are very abundant, and even Liu Jun even took some of the materials obtained by the bandits in the team to the service agency for sale. However, Liu Jun didn't choose too many things, just exchanged for some honey, a few boxes of pastries and a few pieces of jewelry in good condition.

At the door of the service agency, the things exchanged by Zhang Donggou formed a small mountain. Gou Yu also bought a bunch of things, and he was very excited when he bought them, but after settling the bill, both of them couldn't help but regret that they had spent too much money.

And there is another bad consequence, so many things are not easy to take back. The two of them were each rewarded with a stone of rice, and this rice alone was more than 100 catties, not to mention such a large purchase, and now they have to hire a car. The horses in the team can be ridden home, but everyone is very precious to the horses, so many things can only stand at the door, waiting for the people from the service club to help them call a car. Fortunately, the car dealer also has a cooperative relationship with the service agency, and the fare can be discounted by 10%.

The two were waiting for the car, and when they saw Liu Jun coming out with a group of righteous brothers, they couldn't help but feel a little cramped, these are the flag team leaders of the nine-headed bird, and all of them are officials.

"Team Liu, you also come to buy something."

"Well, Brother Dog, you are generous, how can you take it back when you buy so many things." Liu Jun admires this young man named Winter Dog, a hunter born in the mountains, who is always hard in training, never nonsense, disciplined and obedient, and even more impressive when fighting. He liked this young man very much, and always liked to call him Brother Dog when he spoke.

"The service agency helped us get a taxi." Winter Dog replied.

Liu Jun looked at the pile of things and said, "It's just right, I'm also going to go to Taiping Township, I don't think you need to call a taxi, everyone will immediately help you bring a little, just fine." ”

"How is that good?" Winter Dog Road.

"What's bad, they are all brothers who have lived and died together, and they are polite to do so much. We're going to be a guest at your house to pay for the game in the mountains, and I'm going to recruit some more team members from you. ”

"Recruiting players?" Winter dog was surprised.

"Well, among the team members recruited last time, you and the dog are the two remaining hunters in the mountains of Taiping Township, but they are also the two with the best performance. Qi Shaobao was a soldier to resist the Japanese, so he specially recruited the miners of Yiwu as soldiers, saying that they were honest but brave. I think that the hunters in your Taiping Township are also good soldiers, and then our Nine-Headed Bird Team will be expanded, so we will go to your house to recruit some suitable people first. ”

Winter Dog smiled, "We do have a lot of hunters there, all of them have mountains and no land, and there is no other way to live if you don't hunt." ”

There are a lot of leftover things from the winter dog and the dog, and the rice alone is hundreds of catties, and these two guys are reluctant to sell the rice here, so they have to take it all home. Liu Jun took some bags from the service agency, divided them into several bags, and then put a small bag directly on the horse. The two of them divided their belongings into fifteen horses to pack, and there was not much.

The thirteen Liu Jun brothers didn't bring much of anything, and their rice was thrown into the service club. After tying everything to the horse, a group of fifteen people began to go to Taiping Township.

Taiping Township is also part of Macheng County, but it is the poorest place in the county, with mountains and barren land.

The further north you go, the more mountains there are, and the worse the roads become. The houses along the way became lower and lower, and the people I saw became thinner and thinner.

On the hill by the side of the road, a group of men came down carrying a heavy burden, and the two ends were full of bundles of neat chopping wood, and the heavy chopping wood weighed down the flat pole slightly.

Winter Dog rode on his horse and looked at the group, "In the past, when we were at home, the main work our family did all year round was to chop wood. Some of the chopped firewood was used to burn charcoal, while others were directly split to make chopping wood and carried into the city to sell to wealthy families. At other times, they would go hunting in the mountains, or work for the landlord's family, and earn some money to buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. ”

Gou Yu also said with emotion, "The family gets up early and is greedy for darkness, but they can't even cook two meals a day." Most of the time of the year, I drink thin food, and I can't see meat all year round, and sometimes I can't even afford salt, so I can only eat light food. ”

The wind blew their new clothes, and the two of them were fully aware that they had finally gotten rid of those hard days.

A group of fifteen people are tall and tall, and they are all wearing conspicuous robes, and they are very eye-catching when they walk on the road. Not to mention that this is in Taiping Township, even in Macheng County, such a costume is very attractive to people's eyes.

Those who picked firewood and worked in the fields looked at them with envy, and even with awe in their eyes.

Sunset.

The sky is full of red glow, and the village where the winter dog family is located is already in sight, a poor mountain village at the foot of the mountain, with thatched roofs, yellow mud mud walls, and low houses.

At the dusty intersection of the village, a group of villagers are sitting under the big tree at the entrance of the village and chatting. After a day's work, it's a rare place to enjoy a moment of rest.

The villagers were immediately alarmed when they saw more than a dozen tall horses coming from afar, and some of them even ran home in fright. In these years, those who ride tall horses are not good people in the impression of the villagers. Either he is an arrogant official or a fierce thief, no matter which one he is, he is not a good person.

Winter Dog saw a familiar figure in those panicked crowds.

He hurried a few steps faster, and shouted from a distance, "Father, third uncle, uncle, sixth uncle"

The village is not big, there are dozens of families, all surnamed Zhang, counting up, are all passed down from one ancestor, so each family is related to the family, according to the generation, all of them are a family.

A group of villagers who were nervous suddenly heard the familiar shouts, and couldn't help but look at them carefully on their brows in confusion.

"It looks like a winter dog!"

"It's like."

"Didn't the winter dog choose to be a townsman last time?"

The crowd was still talking, and the winter dog's horse was near, and he stopped the horse, turned over from the horse, and jumped off.

"Dad, it's me, Winter Dog, I'm back."

Winter Dog's father was a little unsure at first, but when he looked at this tall and sturdy young man closely, he finally found that this young man who had become a little unrecognizable to himself was his son Winter Dog, who was only two months away from home.

"Why did you come back and still dress like this?"

"I'm on vacation." Winter Dog said as she began to remove her backpack from her horse, which contained many things. He first took out a large bag of pastries and handed them out one by one, "This is the pastry I brought back, everyone pays for it, it's very sweet." ”

A group of villagers ate sweet pastries, and looked curiously at the winter dog who had only been out for two months and had come back and they couldn't recognize him, "Winter dog, you have made a fortune outside." ”

Winter Gouzi watched his father swallow a piece of pastry hard, and felt that his heart was so blocked, he helped his father pat his back, "Eat slowly, slow down, there are still things in the bag, I brought back a lot of things this time." There were cigarettes, and wine, and tea, and sugar, and ham, and bacon, and I bought you clothes, boots, and hats, and silk and cloth. ”

At this time, Liu Jun and his entourage also slowly rode their horses to the front, and everyone looked at them with a little fear.

"Dad, uncles, let me introduce you, this is my boss, the captain of the Nine-Headed Bird Horse Team, and also a native of this county, Liu Gongzi of Xianju Xiwan, and the others are the flag leaders and team leaders of our Nine-headed Bird Team, and they are all Captain Liu's sworn brothers. This is our Taiping Township, and his home is more than ten miles away from our Dongling Zhaojia Village, his name is Zhao Gouyu, my good brother. ”

Everyone nodded, they didn't know what the nine-headed bird was, and they didn't know what the official of the flag team was, but since they were so well dressed and rode a high-headed horse, they must all have extraordinary identities.

Everyone hugged the winter dog and walked to his house. Along the way, those who had run away came out again at this time to join the team, and even some women and children joined in, making a great appearance.

Winter Dog was carrying a big bag in his hand, and his father was leading his horse, and his face was flushed with excitement on the road. Winter Dog kept taking out all kinds of pastries from his bag, and when he saw people, the children were happy to get the pastries and kept shouting on the side Brother Dog.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Donggouzi's mother, brothers and sisters already knew that he was back, and greeted him at the door, and his new sister-in-law looked at this little uncle with some curiosity.

As soon as he entered the house, the winter dog immediately couldn't wait to take out the things he brought back.

Bags of white rice, white sugar, red sugar, and honey. In addition, no one in the village has ever been willing to drink tea, as well as soju and rice wine bottles taken out, and there are two large golden hams in the back, as well as fragrant bacon.

Finally, there are smooth silks, very brightly dyed cloths, and ready-to-wear clothes, hats, and boots that Winter Dog bought directly.

One after the other, and in the end everything was put in a whole pile.

Then Liu Jun and Zhang Shan's thirteen brothers, each of whom also presented a gift, which was not very valuable, or a piece of jewelry or a piece of cloth. But such a gift, in the eyes of the villagers, is extremely precious.

When Liu Jun told the Zhang family's parents that Dong Gouzi had now been promoted to team president, and after becoming an official, their parents were even more happy to tears. They didn't know that the team of the township regiment was not a real official, they only knew that their son really made a fortune after he went out.

"Chief Liu, are you still recruiting people in your team, that child in my family, only twenty years old this year, on the age of Lun and Winter Gouzi are brothers of the same generation, I used to play with Winter Gouzi, and I also like to practice fists and feet to shoot an arrow or something, the arrow shooting is accurate, even the wild ducks in the world can shoot down. Sir Liu, take my children to eat. Winter Gouzi's cousin, who is also the village head, a middle-aged man walked up to Liu Jun and said boldly.

Liu Jun looked at Dong Gouzi, who nodded, "My cousin Ergou is a good hunter, he shoots arrows better than me, and he is tall and strong. ”

Liu Jun smiled, "Then call him to take a look, if he really has that ability and is willing to eat food with me, then it's no problem." ”

The village chief hurriedly pulled out a sturdy young man from the crowd, this young man named Ergou, it is said that he was born in the same year as Donggouzi, but the head of the family is at least six feet tall, tall and big, and very thick, and his arms are thicker than some people's legs. As soon as he saw him, Liu Jun liked it a little, and when he looked at Ergou's eyes, he knew that this was a more loyal and honest person, and he was by no means the kind of person who slided. And with this physique, it's too strong.

Ergou didn't talk nonsense, he borrowed the hunting bow used by the winter dog directly from the winter dog's house, and it happened that there were birds in the sky returning to the nest and flying over the yard, and the second dog opened his bow and arrows, and shot the bird down with an arrow.

Seeing this, Liu Jun also clapped his hands very dryly, "Ergou, are you willing to follow me as a townsman to eat food and get paid?" ”

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll take you." Liu Jun laughed.

The village chief and the second dog grinned, and the other villagers also shouted at this time, "Sir, take my child, he is so powerful that he can kill a wolf with a stick." ”

"Take my son in too."

"Take my son."

"My lord, I don't have a son, how about I go with you, I don't have any requirements, just give me food!"

In the small courtyard, it's a complete mess!
