Chapter 167: Picking a son-in-law

In just half an hour, Zheng Bang collected pheasants three times. Mobile

Six to eight can be harvested each time.

After harvesting, he would take Xiao Qiongzhi, dogs, and stones, one or two pheasants each, and send them to two chicken coops under the north window corner of the kitchen.

Among them, there is a chicken coop that Zhou Dazhi made up before, which is not large, and can only accommodate less than four or five adult chickens.

Another chicken coop was made by Zheng Bang when Xiao Qiongzhi came back from buying chickens last time, and it was much larger and could accommodate nearly 20 adult chickens.

Now, both chicken coops are basically full.

When Xiao Qiongzhi put another pheasant into the chicken coop, the dog happily proposed: "Zhi'er, the big hero will definitely be able to catch a lot of pheasants, let's go to Da Zhibo together and ask him to help us make two new chicken coops!" ”

"Okay!" Xiao Qiongzhi happened to plan the same way.

The two of them took the stones and went back to the main house together, preparing to go down the tunnel to find Zhou Dazhi.

Chu Yunniang and Zheng Wuxiu, who were making cotton clothes in the main house, saw it and felt strange.

Liu Wuxiu asked them curiously, "Zhi'er, why don't you catch birds with your uncle?" ”

Xiao Qiongzhi replied with a smile: "My uncle has already caught twenty-one pheasants and filled the two chicken cages in the house, and we are going to go to my father now and help us make two new chicken coops so that my uncle can wait for the newly caught pheasants." ”

"Oh my God, your uncle caught so many pheasants? Amazing! Liu Wuxiu was so surprised that her jaw was about to drop.

The next moment, she came back to her senses and began to urge Xiao Qiongzhi and Chu Yunniang: "Zhi'er, you have a kind of uncle who can also make chicken cages, you go down the tunnel quickly, call him to do it with your father, and make the cage as soon as possible!" ”

"Yun Niang, let's not make cotton clothes, let's go and kill the chickens in the small cage first, anyway, it's cold now, the chickens can be put when they are killed, just vacate a cage, and it will be used by the big hero immediately."

"Good!" Xiao Qiongzhi and Chu Yunniang agreed successively.

However, when Xiao Qiongzhi brought the dog and stones into the tunnel, the soldiers of Zhoujia Village, who were in charge of watching the wind at the entrance of the tunnel, reported to Zhou Dazhi what they heard and what they were going to go down the tunnel.

There was no need for Xiao Qiongzhi to open his mouth, Zhou Dazhi had already organized a five-person group including him and Zhou Youchong, and agreed to make a new chicken coop together.

The remaining four Zhoujia Village soldiers are responsible for guarding the King of Qi and the whole prince.

Xiao Qiongzhi was about to leave with confidence, but the whole prince suddenly poked his head out of the secret room where he was, and said with a sincere gaze: "Zhi'er, I heard that you and your uncle are catching pheasants, and they have gained a lot, can you persuade your father to allow Lonely, take a look from afar, do you catch pheasants?" ”

"Okay." Xiao Qiongzhi thought about it before agreeing.

The whole prince is different from the king of Qi, he is too dark-bellied, and some things have to be guarded against.

She turned her head to Zhou Dazhi, who was standing in the tunnel, and said, "Dad, there is an exit in this tunnel, which is in the backyard, can you arrange for the uncles of the two clans to accompany the prince with me, stand at that exit, and watch my uncle catch pheasants from a distance?" ”

"Yes." Zhou Dazhi nodded.

He also knew that the whole prince was very dark-bellied, but Xiao Qiongzhi arranged it properly, and he arranged for two people to watch it, and it was in the tunnel, so it was not a big problem.

Soon, under the leadership of Xiao Qiongzhi, as well as the hostage of Zhou Duo and Zhou Youyu, he came to the exit of the backyard where the tunnel Xiao Qiongzhi said.

This exit is designed in the hollow of a camphor tree.

It was about ten meters away from the place where Zheng Bang set up an agency to catch pheasants, and it happened to be facing there, so it was completely clear how those fooled pheasants jumped in from outside the courtyard, and how they got into the bamboo sieve and were caught.

It's a pity that the tree hole is small, so he can only lean out to see the prince's body, Xiao Qiongzhi can't see it himself, and he is bored to stay below.

She barely waited for a quarter of an hour, estimating that the whole prince must have seen Zheng Bang catch a batch of pheasants, so she reminded him: "The whole prince, it's okay, it's cold outside, you better come down and continue to stay in the secret room!" ”

"Okay." The whole prince immediately did so.

It's getting more and more interesting.

Xiao Qiongzhi was very satisfied.

It's just that when she sent the whole prince to the door of the secret room where he was temporarily staying with Zhou Duo and Zhou Youyu, the whole prince suddenly turned his head and said with envy: "Zhi'er, your uncle is very good at catching pheasants." ”

"But I've never seen anyone catch pheasants with six or eight of them every few moments."

"Can you see what the reason is?"

"I can't. Can you, His Royal Highness the Prince? Xiao Qiongzhi asked subconsciously.

Her intuition told her that the whole prince should have seen something, which was not a good thing.

The whole prince shook his head very sincerely: "I can't either." However, as far as I know, since ancient times, there are two kinds of birds that have the ability to obey people and control other birds: one is a parrot and the other is a pigeon. ”

"If your uncle has been keeping parrots or pigeons, they should be able to assist your uncle in harnessing pheasants when your uncle wants to catch pheasants, and they will come at the right time."

After speaking, the whole prince stared at Xiao Qiongzhi intently, as if he wanted to see something flawed from her face.

Xiao Qiongzhi hates being stared at like this.

She immediately straightened her face, rolled her eyes at the whole prince unceremoniously, and said lightly: "Your Royal Highness the whole prince, you can really think blindly!" I never saw my uncle raise parrots or pigeons, but I did see him teach me how to shoot tigers, wild boars and wolves. ”

After saying that, she didn't give the whole prince a chance to continue talking to her, and strode directly to the exit of the tunnel.

At this time, Zhou Dazhi had already taken the two bamboos that had been cut in the summer and stored on the beam under the eaves, and led Zhou Youchong, Zhou Youqin, Zhou Yourong, and Zhou Youxin to squat in the wide place near the exit of the tunnel, weave a chicken coop, and soon make one.

Noticing Xiao Qiongzhi's unhappy look, Zhou Dazhi asked curiously, "Zhi'er, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Qiongzhi lowered his voice and said to Zhou Dazhi: "Dad, that whole prince has too many eyes, he has been staring at me just now, obviously with bad intentions towards me, you can be more wary of him in the future." ”

"Good. Don't worry, I won't give him a chance to get close to you in the future. Zhou Dazhi made a decision immediately.

His Zhou Dazhi's daughter is not just anyone who is qualified to stare at her.

The whole prince, who has an improper and wrong household with Xiao Qiongzhi, and has a cruel and domineering father like King Qi, not to mention that he exposed his attempt to use Xiao Qiongzhi before, he is definitely not a good type, even if he is really pure by nature, he is definitely not a candidate for him to pick a son-in-law.
