Chapter 43: Falcon
……
Ah Meng nodded and said: "The weapons, tools, cloths, pots and pans we use, everything depends on Xia Yuancheng, we can only exchange the mountain goods with them, and the price is also up to them, a few skins can be exchanged for a piece of clothing, and all kinds of medicinal materials are also very cheap, I used to go to Xia Yuancheng and wanted to trade some things with the hawkers, but he didn't dare to do business with me, saying that the city lord had stipulated that the goods brought by the people from the mountains could only be sold to the city lord, and if others received the goods from the mountain people, they would have to raid the house. We mountain people were bullied miserably by the Xia Yuan City Lord. Even if the trade is unfair, the city lord of Xia Yuan will also levy taxes according to the head, and a head has to pay ten animal skins every three months, and now after the last war with the Black Mountain Clan, there are a lot fewer strong men, and I am afraid that the tax will not be paid. If the tax is not paid, the tax collector will levy strong men to serve in Xia Yuan City, and the tax of one less person will take away one person, but those people have never returned, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead. Calculate that the tax collector of Xia Yuancheng will come in a few days, hey......"
Hearing this, Liu Zhibang was already furious, and said in a deep voice: "This Xia Yuan city lord oppresses the people so much, and he doesn't let people live...... Ah Meng, don't worry, as long as I, Liu Zhibang, am here, I won't let the Fire Dance people suffer anymore......"
Ah Meng listened to Liu Zhibang's words, although he didn't know where Liu Zhibang got so much confidence, but he was willing to believe Liu Zhibang, the clansmen can now survive by fishing, and they don't have to go to the mountains to fight with wild beasts, under the leadership of Liu Zhibang, the morale of the Fire Dance Clan is high, all of which makes Ah Meng see hope.
"Perhaps, he can really do it, so that our clan will no longer be oppressed by others, they have all reached this step, who else can he believe if he doesn't believe it, can he believe in Xia Yuan City Lord?" Thinking of this, Ah Meng held Liu Zhibang's hand and said excitedly: "Okay, your eldest brother believes in you, what do you want to do, let it go, I fully support you......"
When Liu Zhibang heard Ah Meng say this, several black lines immediately popped up in his head: "Uh...... That, Ah Meng, you take good care of your injuries, and the affairs of the clan will be handed over to me and Aya, don't worry...... I had to go beforehand ......"
Ah Meng said unsatisfactorily: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave, you haven't talked enough...... Hey, brother-in-law, walk slowly......"
Liu Zhibang hurriedly ran out of Ah Meng's room, ran away before stopping, looked back at Ah Meng's room, breathed a long sigh of relief, shook his head, and walked to the fortification site at the entrance of the village.
"The patriarch is here......"
"Patriarch ......"
"Well, how's the trench dug going?" Liu Zhibang stood on the edge of the ditch and watched, while inquiring about the progress of the project.
"Patriarch, this ditch is very easy to dig, it can be dug tomorrow, you see it's all mud, there are few stones, it's effortless." Ali ran over to report on the progress.
Liu Zhibang grabbed a handful of dirt and said, "Huh...... This dirt ...... Gray and delicate, different, full of stickiness, isn't this the best kaolin? This is a good material for making porcelain, and I am worried that there is no good smelting mold base, isn't this sleepy to send a pillow? ”
Ali was stunned when she heard this, and asked, "Patriarch, how can you giggle when you hold the mud!" ”
"Silly boy, did you talk to the patriarch like that?" A middle-aged man next to him scolded Ali.
Liu Zhibang waved his hand and said, "Uncle Mo, don't blame her, if she talks to me in an old-fashioned manner, I won't be used to it, hehe!" Come, Ali, I have something to tell you......"
Ali walked up to Liu Zhibang with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Patriarch, what do you command?" ”
Liu Zhibang saw that everyone was busy doing things and didn't look at them, so he asked Ali in a low voice: "How is Amu injured now?" ”
When Ali heard Liu Zhibang ask about Amu, her expression was a little gloomy, and she said: "It's been better in the past two days, but I still can't get out of bed, Aunt Azhu is crying every day, and she looks so pitiful!" ”
Liu Zhibang asked again: "Then do you blame me for punishing Amu?" ”
Ali pouted and said, "Amu said that I don't blame you, he said that he should be punished, and asked me to listen to you well and do everything I explained." ”
Liu Zhibang nodded, and said, "I have a task for you, you help me find a few clansmen who can build houses." ”
Ali took the order to leave, Liu Zhibang raised his head to look at the sky, there was an eagle hovering over the village under the blue sky and white clouds, Liu Zhibang smiled coldly, this eagle has been flying over the village for a few days, and I haven't seen it fly elsewhere to forage for food, it must be a little strange.
"That handsome guy, come on!" Liu Zhibang didn't know anyone in the village, and when he saw a young clansman nearby who was guarding with a bow on his back, he summoned him over.
"Report, A Qing, a soldier of the third team of the Phoenix Army, reports to you, please instruct!" The soldier Ah Qing stood up straight and looked at Liu Zhibang with a fiery expression.
"Well, you shoot that eagle from the sky down!" Liu Zhibang pointed to the eagle in the sky.
"Yes!"
Ah Qing took off the bow and arrow on his back, drew the bow into a full circle, and shot it at the falcon in the sky.
Shout......
The arrow flew straight towards the falcon in the sky, but the strength was exhausted in less than 100 meters, and it began to fall more than ten meters away from the falcon. The falcon was startled at first, fluttered its wings and flew up as best it could, but when it saw that the arrow was still a long distance away from itself, it screamed, I don't know whether it was happy or angry, and suddenly rushed down, and its two sharp claws grabbed the arrow that fell down, and rushed towards Ah Qing on the ground with a gust of wind.
"Huh...... This flat-haired animal is quite bloody......"
Liu Zhibang saw the falcon swooping towards him at high speed, and slowly pulled out a burning stick from behind his waist with his right hand, poof...... A bright light shot straight at the falcon from the end of the burning stick, which was less than a foot long, and the falcon screamed, dropped the arrow in its claws, and desperately fluttered its wings to turn around and fly away, but one wing was pierced by a laser, and its body lost its balance in the air, and it rolled in the air a few times before falling.
Liu Zhibang put away the multi-functional laser gun and said to Ah Qing: "Go and catch that eagle back, be careful not to be hurt by it!" ”
Ah Qing took the order and took the injured falcon back after a while, the falcon still resisted, but Ah Qing grabbed its two wings with both hands, and there was nothing to do about it.
"It's not small, I'm afraid I'm thirty pounds, this guy is interesting, and his eyes are very special when he looks at me!" Liu Zhibang stared at the falcon with interest.
“—*·%……*¥#”
When the falcon heard a series of strange sounds coming from Liu Zhibang's mouth, it immediately stopped moving, staring at Liu Zhibang curiously with two round eyes, as if it had discovered the strangest thing in the world.
“7*¥%……—#·”
The falcon suddenly called at Liu Zhibang in a strange voice.
