Chapter 20: The Wolf Child

"The Xuanzhou affair has been arranged, and everything is going according to plan." After Jian Shi arrived at the house, Qingqiu took the account book in his hand, handed it to Jian Shi's hand and said, Jian Shi took the account book, did not open it, but put it on the table, Qingqiu took a cloak and put it on Jian Shi, "Lord Jane, it's late autumn, you have to wear more." Jian Shi pulled the cloak on his body, reached out to catch a fallen leaf that flew in, and whispered, "Winter is coming." ”

"yes, winter is coming." Qingqiu looked at the bleak autumn wind outside the window with a little worry, "I just survived the ground movement, and now it's going to be winter, how should the people live, and Xuanzhou is still relying on the Qituan Mountains, and there are so many fierce beasts, I don't know how to prevent it." ”

"There are fierce beasts in Xuanzhou?" Jian Shi's eyes flashed when he heard this, Qingqiu was stunned, and reacted to what Jian Shi was thinking, frowned, and shook his head disapprovingly, "There are no such things in Xuanzhou, they are generally in the sparsely populated suburbs, and these beasts appear in groups and groups, and the people can't hide, how dare they catch them?" Jian Shi heard the answer he wanted, and grinned, "Just have it, if you don't have it, you're not afraid that you won't have enough." ”

Jian Shi tightened his cloak and strode out, Qingqiu couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the resolute Jian Shi, picked up the ledger on the table and walked out with Jian Shi's footsteps.

Jian Shi quickened her pace and came to the armory of the City Lord's Mansion, she remembered that she had seen a bow and crossbow here, and she hadn't thought about it carefully at that time, but now she thinks about the bow and crossbow, whether it is hunting or used in war, it is a good thing, and now the Central Plains are using the most ordinary rhubarb crossbow, with a range of about 400 meters, and it needs people with infinite power to use it.

So this thing is actually not very popular on the battlefield, but what if it is changed to Zhuge Repeater? Jian Shi was very fond of cold weapons in the modern era, and she had a knack for the production of Zhuge repeaters, although she couldn't do them and never seen them, but she believed that they could make Zhuge repeaters that satisfied her.

Jian Shi found the bow and crossbow, frowned, the situation is a bit beyond imagination, this bow and crossbow is really a very simple kind of bow and crossbow, and this bow and crossbow obviously can't hunt, it takes a lot of thought to change it to Zhuge Repeater, and it is better to change it directly than to redo it.

The Zhuge crossbow can fire ten arrows at a time, and the firepower is very strong, but the size and weight are too large for individual soldiers to use, and they are mainly used to defend cities and camps. It seems that the words of making the Zhuge repeater for hunting are really a bit inappropriate, Jian Shi scratched her head, sat on the ground, and forgot the gap between the drawings and the real thing.

When Qingqiu came, he saw such a scene, Jian Shi sat on the ground without any image, and dismantled a bow and crossbow in his hand.

Qingqiu stepped forward to help Jian Shi up, and patted the ash on Jian Shi's body, "Jian Thorn History, don't think about hunting with a bow and crossbow, in fact, I have a way to hunt, but" Qingqiu wanted to speak and stopped, "What method?" Jian Shi stood up and looked at Qingqiu.

"Actually, we can set traps, why do we have to make it so troublesome?" Qingqiu glanced at Jian Shi tangledly.

Jian Shi was a little embarrassed, she really forgot that she could do this, "Didn't I forget?" "But don't you disapprove of hunting?"

Qingqiu picked up the bow and crossbow that had been dismantled in Jian Shi's hand, and began to fight slowly, "It's not that I don't agree, I just think it's dangerous, generally catch one, there will be a group of people looking for the smell to find it, someone once caught a young wolf, a group of wild wolves came over in the middle of the night, the whole city was alarmed by the wolf howl at the door, a group of wolves stared at them, ready to attack at any time, but after the young wolf was released, the group of wolves quickly retreated, the person who caught the young wolf, originally thought that this matter was over, Unexpectedly, he was torn apart by a pack of wolves when he went out the next day, and since then, everyone in Xuancheng has known this rumor, and no one hunts anymore. ”

"This thing, so mysterious?" Jian Shi leaned his head against the door, his eyes were a little solemn, and after Qingqiu restored the bow and crossbow in his hand, he patted the dust on his hands.

"I guess it was the man who caught the child of a wolf, but the arrival of the wolves feels like an organized, after all, a person who is used to hunting will not go out without a weapon in his hand, but no one has seen what it is, it is just a rumor, I just heard my father say it before." Jane bowed his head and said nothing.

After a while, Jian Shi seemed to think of something, and waved his hand at Qingqiu, "Qingqiu, you can come and get a drawing later, I'll go first, don't follow me." ”

Jian Shi rode a horse to the outside of the city, there is a large canyon from Xuandu out of the city to the east, here is the place where Qingqiu said that there are often wild beasts, Jian Shi planned to survey the specific terrain, and suddenly "neighed", and the horse suddenly jumped up.

Jian Shi grabbed the saddle tightly, looked around vigilantly, "Woo~" A wolf howl accompanied by a whistle came into Jian Shi's ears, Jian Shi looked up and saw a person with a wolf on the top of the valley, the two looked at Jian Shi with similar eyes, Jian Shi was slightly stunned.

"Whew" The wolf child suddenly roared at Jian Shi, who was stunned for a moment, "Wolf child".

The wolf looked at Jian Shi dangerously, then rubbed the boy next to him, and one person and one wolf disappeared in front of Jian Shi's eyes. When she saw this scene, Jane suddenly knew what was going on with the rumored person who was eaten by a wolf.

Jian Shi grabbed the saddle and turned around and returned to the City Lord's Mansion with a stomach full of questions, "Investigate what happened to the person who was eaten by wolves a few years ago, and whether anyone had lost or abandoned a child a few years ago." Jian Shi said to the guard next to him.

As soon as the words fell, a joking voice came, "Oh, it seems that Lord Thorn Shi knows something?" ”

Jian Shi looked Jiu Chu up and down, "Don't stab me, you said that you were willing to lose the bet, why, do you feel that the injuries on your body have recovered?" Still not convinced? It's better for us to make a move. Jian Shi rubbed his wrist and said with a sneer.

"Hehe" Jiu Chu laughed twice, rubbed his waist, and felt that his body was still aching faintly when he heard this, he had never seen such a rough person.

Jian Shi glanced at him, "Say, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, what are you doing here?" ”

Gu Chu returned to his serious appearance: "I want to assassinate Lord Shi, you already know about the wolf child, right?" ”

"What do you know?" Jian Shi's eyes began to become deep as he looked at Jiu Chu, "Hey, Master Thorn Shi, don't look at me like this, I said, I said" Jiu Chu closed the fan, knelt opposite Jian Shi, looked flattering, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Jian Shi, and then poured a cup and took a sip.

"That wolf child" Gu Chu had a hint of pity in his eyes, "I always knew about the existence of this child, it was about ten years ago one winter, I remember how old I was at that time, my parents were going to catch some rabbits that day, but I didn't expect to see a pack of wolves, when my parents ran away with me, I saw a child in that group of wolves, but I always thought I was wrong, and then I saw the boy again, and I knew that I was not wrong at that time." The second time I saw the wolf child was that night. ”

Gu Chu paused, and then said, "That boy was in the crowd, I saw him in the crowd, I still remember that kind of look very well, how to describe it?" A very cold and cruel wildness, but with a little simplicity, as if it wants to rush up and tear all these people in front of it apart. But it was so dark and crowded and noisy that I wouldn't have noticed his movements if I hadn't been staring at him, and he made a very strange noise, and then the wolves retreated. ”

Jian Shi took a sip of tea, ten years ago, a few years ago, strange sounds, killed a person, a wolf child, these words are normal when viewed alone, but they are not so normal when put together.

But Jian Shi just intuitively felt that the child was not manipulated, his behavior itself was like a wolf, holding grudges, having a strong territory, and howling wolves, all of which showed that this child was a real wolf child, not deliberately created by someone. "I'll leave this matter to you to investigate, and see that you are also talking about this matter like this."

"No" Jiu Chu's hand holding the fan trembled, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, that child had always been a knot in his heart, but he didn't say this to Jian Shi.

Jian Shi began to draw the diagram of Zhuge Repeater after Jiu Chu left, after all, this is still a bit useful to deal with the Jiang clan, and it would be good if he could still make a small bow and crossbow. Jian Shi looked at the drawn crossbow and sighed.
