Chapter 44: Tiger Hunting in the Mountains (2)
The next morning, Jiang Xiaobai got up and played a set of long punches in the yard. When a slight streak of sweat broke out on his head, he breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling in good shape.
After taking a shower in the bathroom and tidying up after tidying up. Liu Bo appeared with a basket.
"You're in good spirits today. Liu Bo noticed it at once, and the radiant Jiang Xiaobai said.
"When am I not energetic?" Jiang Xiaobai asked with a smile.
When Jiang Xiaobai finished breakfast, the sun rose high in the sky.
"Let's go, don't take it. Let's go to the village and have a look. Jiang Xiaobai said to Liu Bo, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Do you really want to go?" Liu Bo asked worriedly.
"Of course. Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking. Grab the boning knife and pin it to your waist, go to the door and grab the homemade spear.
Jiang Xiaobai didn't wait long at the door, and Liu Bo also walked out. The two walked together towards the center of the village.
The village chief's office is located in the center of the village. This office is a larger conference room. It is usually used to inform things.
The two came to the conference room and pushed the door open, and on the chair in the middle of the conference room, an old man in his fifties was sitting. The old man didn't have much hair left, his face was wrinkled, and his eyes were blank.
Heard someone come in and woke up from a daze. He looked at the door and asked, "What's the matter with you?" and his voice was also decaying.
"I'm here for a hunting party. Jiang Xiaobai said.
"Oh, the recruitment ended yesterday. The village chief said slowly.
"There are tigers in the mountains, and I want to be safer with the hunting team. Jiang Xiaobai said directly.
"Tiger, haven't you heard of it! Isn't it just wild boar?" said the village chief, who couldn't sit still in his chair.
"There are indeed tigers, and there is a black bear. Jiang Xiaobai said.
"It's... What can I do?" asked the village chief, trembling. The six gods looked like they had no owner, and they almost fell without fear.
"Let me join the hunting team and I can do my part. Jiang Xiaobai said.
He looked at the appearance of the village chief, and he didn't have much hope for the people he couldn't choose. He also wants to join only when necessary, so that the hunting party will suffer fewer casualties.
"What's your name? Why haven't I seen you. The village chief asked.
"Jiang Xiaobai. He is Liu Bo, do you have any impressions? Jiang Xiaobai wasn't sure, the old man didn't recognize himself.
"No, where do you live?" asked the village chief.
"Dongtou of the village, my father is Jiang Fengye, do you have any impression?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
"Still don't remember, I flipped through the roster. See if there's any. The village chief said seriously.
"Don't bother, I just need to join the hunting party. Jiang Xiaobai looked at his slow movements and said.
"The hunting party is no longer under my control. It's all up to Mazi's arrangement. The village chief said.
Jiang Xiaobai was already speechless to him, and he didn't know how he climbed to the position of village chief.
"Okay, when Mazi comes later, can you introduce it?" Jiang Xiaobai asked?
"This is the problem, I grew up watching Mazi, and he listens to me very much. The village chief said confidently.
Liu Bo pulled Jiang Xiaobai from behind and whispered: "Let's go, how do I feel that this place is unreliable." ”
"Wait, I'll go and talk. Jiang Xiaobai also whispered.
It was only two sentences, and the village chief seemed to have forgotten that there was someone in front of him. Squinting, sitting in a chair and snoring.
Jiang Xiaobai woke him up. From his mouth, it turned out that the hunting party was going to take money.
In the village ahead, wild boars arched crops, and some people were injured. The village has specially prepared a sum of money to recruit hunting members.
It was almost noon when nine men walked in.
"Old man, pay the money first. Let's go up the mountain and get rid of the wild boars. A flowing voice came.
Jiang Xiaobai looked at him, and it was a lean man who spoke. He looks shrewd, with a ruffian on his face.
He was followed by eight people, looking at it from Jiang Xiaobai's eyes. To say that it is a rabble, but also to overestimate them. Their nine-person team, I'm afraid that its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the three-person team at the guard station.
Except as soon as he entered the door, the lean young man was talking to the village chief. The others found a nearby stool and sat down crookedly.
"Mazi, you are here, I heard this strong man say that there are tigers on the mountain. The village chief was woken up again, recognized the person in front of him and said.
"Tiger, isn't it a wild boar? No, you have to add money. The lean young man said.
"Yes, add money......"
"Tiger? Is it ...... mistaken?"
“......”
The eight people who sat down discussed it. Most people are talking about adding money. Only two felt dangerous.
"There is no extra money in the village, so you should do something good for the village. The village chief said.
"Without adding money, there are tigers. I'm not going to do it anymore, whoever likes to do it. ”
"That's it, I'm not going to do it anymore. The family is still waiting for me to go back to dinner. Mako I'm gone, too. ”
The first two people who felt dangerous were simply picky.
"Slow down~" Asako shouted to stop them.
When Jiang Xiaobai thought he was going to keep the team members. Mazi said: "It's okay to go, and the tools are left." ”
The two put the machetes in their hands on the table and walked away without looking back. Each member of the hunting team had a 40-centimeter-long woodcutter in his hand. This was bought with village money.
"It's better to go, two less, and we can get an extra share. Mazi said.
The remaining six followed.
"Old man, you see that it is so dangerous, and two more are gone. If you don't add money, you give us the money first. Otherwise, the brothers will lose their fighting spirit. Mazi said.
"Here, that's all. The village chief trembled and took out a large handful of change from his purse.
"Play dumb, don't you, old fellow. If I don't give money today, I won't leave. Mazi said playfully. The whole person threw himself on the table, looking like he was asking for money.
The village chief didn't seem to be confused again this time. Take out a few whole coins from your pocket and hand them to Asako.
Mazi nodded, put the money in his pocket and said, "Let's go, let's fight the tiger." A group of people walked out.
Jiang Xiaobai watched this farce silently, yes, from the time he saw the hunting team, he regarded this hunt as a farce.
Until the remaining seven hunting parties were about to walk out of the door. When the village chief saw Jiang Xiaobai and the two on the side, he remembered what he had forgotten, and shouted to the hunting team: "Slow." ”
"What's the matter, old man. Tell me what else is going on. Mazi said impatiently.
"These two little brothers are also going to join the hunting team. Look~" said the village chief.
"Hey, just two left, and two more people are eating white food. Look what they can do with their little physique. Mazi said disgustedly.
"I didn't, I don't participate. Liu Bo was a little scared and hurriedly said.
"One will participate, and the other will say no. Old man, are you kidding me? Mazi said to the village chief with an unkind face. Completely ignored Liu Bo.
"It's none of my business, they just said they wanted to join. The village chief said.
"Boy, go home and nurse! Money is not so easy to earn. Mazi said to Liu Bo. Liu Bo was frightened by him and took a few steps back.
"Let's go. Jiang Xiaobai didn't want to stay here, so he walked out after speaking.
"Slow down~ boy, who let you go. Mazi saw that Jiang Xiaobai's physique was stronger than his own, and he didn't dare to provoke him, but now he thought that Jiang Xiaobai left because he was frightened by himself. Courage grew.
Jiang Xiaobai did not pause at his feet, and when he approached Mazi. The two of them bumped shoulders, and Mazi stumbled after being hit. Jiang Xiaobai continued to walk out the door safe and sound. Seeing this, Liu Bo hurriedly followed Jiang Xiaobai.
