Volume 1 A Little Mountain Village in the Cracks Chapter 27 A Blessing in Disguise
As night fell, the three village chiefs of Sangu Village and the head of Guhe Village were obviously not sleepy. Although Lijia Village has not yet come to attack them, Zhang Cheng, who has been in Waran Village for three days, has not returned.
A few people are not afraid that Zhang Cheng will offend Valan Village and be killed, they know Zhang Cheng and several of them very well, this person has always been slippery, and he will never dare to provoke those who can't be provoked.
They were worried that Zhang Cheng had patronized his friend Hu Tianhai from Waranzhai and forgotten what was going on in the village.
You can't live in Guhe Village all the time, there is a limited space here, and it is inconvenient for several families to crowd in the same yard, and it is easy to have conflicts after a long time. But they didn't dare to separate easily, after all, in terms of a single village, Sangu Village was not as good as Lijia Village.
Moreover, now there is only one True Martial Realm powerhouse in the valley of Guhe Village.
"Could it be that Zhang Cheng's little rabbit cub is lying?" The head of Guhe Village looked down on Zhang Cheng and other villains who were used to drilling camps, and Zhang Cheng was as timid as a mouse, and his strength was low, and he was obviously at the middle level of the True Martial Arts Realm, but his real combat power was not as good as that of a person who had just entered the first level.
Zhang Cheng is the weakest in the head of Sangu Village, and although the head of Guhou Village is not strong, he is much more powerful than Zhang Cheng.
Although Li Laosan's strength is only at the beginning level, his real combat power is not much better than that of the head of Guhe Village. It may be difficult to win in the face of Zhang Cheng and the two at the same time, but if you are willing to work hard, kill a Guhou Village leader, and scare away a timid Zhang Cheng, it will be easy at all.
"It's more powerful than a ten-stone bow, and it's a handful for everyone. Do you believe it?" the head of Guhe Village looked at the three village chiefs with disdain.
Except for the head of Guqian Village, the other two all shook their heads. Obviously, they don't believe that there is such a magical weapon, if there is such a weapon, Lijia Village can still be robbed by them? I am afraid that the Wallan Village would have been destroyed a long time ago and unified ten miles and eight townships.
The village chief of Guqian Village lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "I'd rather believe it than believe it!" In this way, let's not wait for Zhang Cheng to come back, and tomorrow we will take the silver two herbs to Lijia Village, first, to apologize, and second, to investigate. ”
"If it's really Li Laosan's shot, and not a crossbow," the head of Guqian Village narrowed his eyes, and a terrifying edge shot out of his eyes, "You can challenge him, it's best to kill him, even if you can't kill him, at least you have to seriously injure him!"
After thinking about it, the others nodded.
As soon as the eastern sky was flushed with a hint of fish belly white, Tang Yi was already dressed and appeared in the courtyard.
When he saw Tang Yishi, the little divine doctor showed a slight look of astonishment, and only after a while did he smile and shake his head, and continued to put gold sore medicine and various herbs for treating bruises in the medicine box. The reason why he was stunned was because this was the first time he had seen a neatly dressed Tang Yi in Maochu.
Mo said that it was the beginning of Mao, since Tang Yi came to Lijia Village, except for being kicked out by Granny Ma that day, he had never gotten up before Chenshi.
But this is not surprising, after all, Lijia Village has changed the village head, and the rules are a little different.
Last night, Li Yong took over as village chief and immediately issued a series of directives. First of all, all the villagers need to participate in training, practice fast opening of strings and arrows, practice shooting accuracy, and practice coordination.
In order to prevent the villagers from neglecting the training, Li Yong gathered all the food in the village, except for the clan elders and children, there was no food without training. Those with excellent training results drink alcohol and eat meat, and those with the worst results can only eat pickles and eat pickles, and they are not full.
The little doctor is not required to participate in the training, and his task is to take care of the villagers who are injured during the training.
Of course, Tang Yi and Li Laosan don't need it. In view of the strength of the True Martial Realm, they were a bit too bullying to compete with the villagers, so they were unanimously rejected by the villagers.
After Tang Yi heard Li Laosan tell the results last night, he jumped to his feet angrily and scolded several times, causing the dogs in the whole village to bark all night.
It stands to reason that Tang Yi should continue to sleep lazily, sleep until he wakes up naturally, and then go to get a meal of the same food as the old children of the clan.
Tang Yi's amount of food was more than ten times that of the villagers, and Li Laosan, who was the most able to eat, was only one-third of Tang Yi's.
What can I do if the village only gives me so much food?
Tang Yi thought about it all night last night, which really made him think of a ghost idea, so he got up so early this morning, planning to go and see the villagers' first training session with his own eyes.
When the two arrived at the threshing floor, the villagers had already started their training in full swing.
A total of 680 villagers in Lijia Village were removed, including 563 clan elders and children under the age of 10 who were unable to participate.
Children over the age of 10 and under 15 are in charge of counting the results together with Li Yong, and the rest are in pairs of twos and pairs, one is responsible for shooting and the other is responsible for opening the strings and arrows. Of course, it is also possible to shoot in two people in turns.
After removing the children who were responsible for the statistics, the villagers were divided into more than 250 groups.
Li Yong sent someone to Heishuizhuang last night and bought back more than a dozen big fat pigs overnight, each of which weighed 145 catties. He also hired a chef from Heishuizhuang who was famous for making pig-killing rice.
By this time, the two hundred and fifty groups had already begun to train, and the chef had already poured the meat into the pot, and now the aroma had covered the entire threshing floor.
After Tang Yi took a deep breath, he felt that his stomach seemed to be a little hungry, and he hurriedly swept towards the surrounding villagers, carefully observing everyone's speed, movements, and accuracy.
After a stick of incense was burned, the morning training was over, and Tang Yi also had a general understanding in his heart at this time.
When Li Yong counted the rankings, Tang Yi also walked towards the villagers, he did not look for the top 100 teams, those teams themselves had a chance to squeeze into the top 50. He was looking for a team of 100 people who would never have eaten meat unless someone instructed them.
Tang Yi's flesh fell on these people.
Tang Yi came into contact with a total of fifty teams, and after discussing with these people to divide the meat in half, he helped them redivide the group, and arranged who would be responsible for shooting and who would be responsible for pulling the strings and arrows.
As for the teams where the two of them couldn't shoot accurately, Tang Yi took out a few brackets he had made last night, fixed their crossbows to the brackets, and canceled the trigger. He had one of them in charge of pulling the strings and shooting, and the other only in the hands of the arrows.
After breakfast and a short rest, the second round of shooting training began.
Although the people Tang Yi was looking for this time did not all rush into the top 50, there were also forty teams in the top 50, and the others were also within seventy, so they had a good chance of hitting the top 50.
At noon, Tang Yi finally got his wish and ate a large bucket full of meat, which was 145 catties!
This can make Li Laosan, who came in the middle of the night, greedy, he thinks that Tang Yi can guide the villagers, why can't he who is also in the real martial arts realm?
Li Laosan did not look for the last hundred teams like Tang Yi, but looked for those who had a chance in the first place. Although crossbowmen are easier to train than archers, where is the archery so easy to practice?
After Li Laosan's beating and scolding, these people's results are not better, but they are not as good as before Li Laosan's guidance. Now the villagers are gone, before you don't give a point, Lao Tzu can still drink soup and cakes, and you will directly eat bran and vegetables as soon as you instruct Lao Tzu.
So the villagers who were instructed stabbed the matter to Li Yong, and even Tang Yi's share was stabbed out.
Originally, if no one said anything, Li Yong didn't bother to care about these things, but now that everyone else has reported these two people with their real names, what can he do? He had to listen to the opinions of the villagers, drove the two to the blacksmith shop, and invited Granny Ma from the village, and asked the old lady to stay in the blacksmith shop to prevent the two from making trouble again.
At the beginning of Shen, the sky gradually darkened, and it was obvious that it was going to rain.
The rain after the beginning of summer has gradually begun to increase, although it is not as heavy as after the summer solstice, but the time is much longer than the light rain in early spring.
At the three-way intersection at the foot of Valan Mountain, a big man hid under a giant tree, seemingly hesitating to take that way.
This person is Zhang Cheng.
Four days earlier, Zhang Chengcheng had arrived at Valanzhai, and when he arrived, he had asked to meet the acquaintance whom he had tried so hard to please before he became a nodding friend. The Waranzhai bandit didn't deliberately refute his face, although Zhang Cheng had no face in his eyes.
It's one thing to be visible, it's another thing to hand over the words. After Zhang Cheng saw the man, he gave the other party the five hundred taels of silver that he had hidden before, and the man promised to have a meal with him in a few days.
It's just that the other party didn't set a time, and secondly, Zhang Cheng didn't want to go back so gloomy, so he slept at the foot of Valan Mountain. Originally, I thought that I had given five hundred taels of silver, and how could I see the man in two or three days, but now it is the fourth day, and there is still no letter on the mountain.
Seeing that it seemed to be raining again, Zhang Cheng hesitated whether to go to Heishuizhuang to take shelter from the rain first, and come back after the rain had passed, but he was afraid that if the rain stopped, the acquaintance would immediately come down to find him.
Just when Zhang Cheng was hesitating, suddenly an ox cart came slowly from the direction of Yuhuang Pass, and after Zhang Cheng glanced at it, he immediately rushed up Valan Mountain in a panic.
The driver was none other than the head of Guqian Village.
Zhang Cheng didn't want this person to see his embarrassment, otherwise how could he brag after he went back? That friend wouldn't even let him go up Valan Mountain?
Zhang Cheng had just run halfway through when a hazy drizzle suddenly fell in the sky, followed by a drizzle that turned into a drizzle, seeing this, Zhang Cheng hurriedly hid in the woods next to the mountain road.
This place is not far from the cottage gate, he also wants to go up the mountain to avoid the rain, but Valan Village is not for anyone to enter, like the head of a small village like him, he can't even enter the cottage door, let alone live in the guest house.
Seven or eight stars outside the sky, two or three points of rain in front of the mountain. In the old days, at the edge of the forest of the thatched shop community, the road turned around and the stream was suddenly seen.
is also a drizzle in the mountains, and it is a peerless song that falls in front of Xin Qiji, but when it falls on Zhang Cheng, it almost kills him.
He had just entered the forest, and before he could find a suitable place to shelter from the rain, he ran into a bandit from Waran Village who was patrolling the mountain. If it weren't for him Zhang Cheng still having so much strength, if it weren't for him kneeling fast enough and showing his identity fast enough, I'm afraid that his head would have already moved.
Although after such a wild survival, Zhang Cheng's body was covered with mud and looked embarrassed, but he was blessed by misfortune and was able to live in the Valanzhai guest house.
