Chapter 398: Hanchi Kaede
A tight horn sounded in the north of Heike Village, accompanied by the sound of the horn, a hoarse voice came from far to near: "The snow wolf is coming~~ The snow wolf is coming, there are about 20 of them, everyone hide, and they will come in in 10 minutes." A panting hunter appeared at the north entrance of the village on a snow deer.
The hands of all the people working inside and outside the village stopped, and all men, women, and children, untied the snow deer working in the field as quickly as possible, drove the snow cocks under the eaves into cages, and loaded the snow dolphins that were eating in baskets...... Every family drove the animals into the house or carried them to the house as quickly as possible, and they all lifted the covers of the beds, lifted one of the iron plates on the bed, threw the animals into a big hole, and then all the people went down from the hole, and locked the iron door.
"Qin Lang, come in" An old man's voice sounded in a small thatched hut on the south side of the village, "The snow wolf is coming soon", the old man's voice became more and more urgent and stern.
"Wait, grandpa, I'll be here soon, the two little snowcocks that hatched yesterday have run into the grass," the childish voice came from outside the fence of the hut.
"Whew~~" The wolf's voice came from afar.
A tall figure rushed out of the house, an old man with white hair, rushed to the gate of the yard, grabbed a little boy by the back of the neck from the low grass, and kicked and beat and screamed despite him, "Grandpa, let go of me, I'll find it right away, otherwise they will all be eaten, woo~~ Let go of me." Grandfather. The figures of the two men were also hidden in the holes in their beds. As soon as the iron door was closed, the snow wolf had already rushed into the house, and the paws of one of the most majestic snow wolves had already begun to try to lift the iron plate, and several other wolves sniffed around the iron plate, and white breath blew down from the iron plate.
"Woo, grandpa, the chick must be dead," the little boy in the cave cried, not paying any attention to the noise above his head.
"Qin Lang, obedient. Chicks can also hatch again. More will come out next time", the old man helplessly persuaded his grandson.
"Grandpa, why are there so many hunters in the village, and no one is going to kill which snow wolves? The snow bear is much more powerful than the snow wolf. We can all kill. Why don't you kill the snow wolf". Qin Lang asked with a pant cry.
"Alas~~" The old man sighed and said, "The snow wolf can't be killed, if anyone kills, then he will have to die." ”
"Then why did the uncles who came from outside kill the snow wolf last time? And killed more than 30?" Qin Lang asked unconvinced.
"They're mercenaries, mercenaries can kill. The old man didn't want to explain too much to his little grandson.
"When I grow up, I want to be a mercenary~~" Qin Lang clenched his fists.
Haike Village is located on the east side of the Warm Water River on the frozen continent, and according to the border division between the Qinlang Empire and the Hami Kingdom, this should belong to the territory of the Hami Kingdom. However, the Hami people have been accustomed to living in cold ice and snow since ancient times, and the source of the Warm Water River is a hot spring lake formed after a volcanic eruption (Snow Moon Lake), and the vicinity of Snow Moon Lake and the banks of the Warm Water River have formed the only area on the frozen continent that is free of ice and snow.
In the 500-year history of the Qin Lang Empire, there were repeated attempts to obtain the Xueyue Lake and the Nuanshui River through diplomacy, war, blackmail and other means, but they were unsuccessful.
In the 3rd year of the Red Moon Calendar, the 12th year of the Red Moon Calendar, the 35th year of the Red Moon Calendar, the 47th year of the Red Moon Calendar, and the 52nd year of the Red Moon Calendar, in just 50 years, the two generations of monarchs of the Qinlang Empire launched five large-scale wars with the goal of the Xueyue Lake and the Warm Water River domain, and used all arms, including dragoons. Each war ended in the same outcome.
At the southern tip of the continent, the Qin Lang Empire tended to capture all the lands in the shortest possible time - or could not use the word conquer, because in this area the Hami kingdom never spared a single soldier. After the war began, in the Ice and Snow Forest, the northernmost part of the northern Lian State of the Qin Lang Empire, a large number of Hami wolf cavalry warriors always launched an attack on the northern Lian State of the Qin Lang Empire along the only Longya Mountain Continental Highway in the Frozen Continent.
On the frozen continent, no matter what kind of troops, facing the white-haired Hami people, facing the ice and snow suits made of white bear velvet, facing the snow-white snow wolf war horses, and facing the snow-white continent, there is only one ending: escape.
The combat effectiveness of any class of troops in the Ice and Snow Continent is only less than 10%, even the invincible dragoons in the world can exert only 50% of the combat effectiveness, what is the number of dragoons in the Qin Lang Empire? It is not as much as a squad of the wolf cavalry of the Hami people.
There were also several kings of the Qin Lang Empire who wanted to obtain Xueyue Lake and the Warm Water River through diplomacy or blackmail, but the Hami kingdom had a simple mind and refused to sign any agreement as long as they saw anything related to the country.
The only reason for this situation was that Qin Lang I, the founding monarch of the Qin Lang Empire, had successfully deceived the monarch of the Hami Empire once, and in that deception, he obtained the territory of the Hami Empire, which was about 25% the size of the original empire, and established the northern state of the Qin Lang Empire. Qin Lang I promised the Hami Empire that he was willing to exchange the best territory of his country, the Huayu Plain, the hinterland of the Qin Lang Nuoer Continent, for the territory at the southern end of the Frozen Continent, and showed the Hami Empire the abundance of all kinds of fruits and animals. After the agreement was signed, almost everyone thought that Qin Lang I was crazy and exchanged the richest territory for the most barren territory - except for the then queen mother and the younger brother of the Hami Empire, who angrily returned to his own territory and declared independence at the risk of being executed, and established the Northern Hami Empire.
At that time, Mua VII was anxious to move the capital to the Huayu Plain, and made a heavy decision to gradually give up the territory of the frozen continent, so he did not bother with Wang Di, and Wang Di used this precious time to rapidly expand his territory from the capital of the Hami Empire until he occupied the entire continent east and north of Longya Mountain.
The rejoicing Muya VII and his ministers came to the Flower Language Plain, and the first feeling was that they had come to a paradise. In the northern part of the Flower Language Plain, the air is humid all year round, and all kinds of flowers bloom continuously. Riding a horse and whipping on the plains for three days and three nights, there will be no flowers in front of you, and no fragrance in your nose. In the southern part of the Huayu Plain, there is a humid and rainy area, and there are countless sweet melons and fruits in a large area of broad-leaved rainforest.
However, within five years of establishing the capital, the new capital established by Muya VII was attacked three times by the surrounding countries. For the last time. Muya VII rushed into the imperial army and washed away the shame of his mistaken decision with blood.
Why did the most powerful country on the Frozen Continent fall to Pingyang and be bullied by dogs after arriving on the Qinlang Nuoer Continent? Where did the invincible and invincible Snow Wolf cavalry go?
According to later generations of military lawyers, the doctrine of mutual restraint of arms and the doctrine of blessing of arms. It was written in the blood of the emperor and the blood of a hundred thousand snow wolf cavalrymen.
The Hami people who have lived in the frozen continent for generations. The beards are very long. Especially for the eyebrows and eyelashes, in order to avoid blinding people by sunlight on the snow, the eyebrows and eyelashes of the Hami people are not only long. And it grows fast. But after arriving at the damp plain of Huayu, this physiological phenomenon is simply unbearable, and the eyebrows are often covered with water droplets. The princes and ministers still had time to ask someone to help them repair it. What about the soldiers? How can this situation be fought? The snow wolf has longer hair, and it is all white, and when it comes to the sultry plains, the snow wolf, which is not adapted to the climate, has no combat effectiveness at all. In war, what used to be a natural protective color is now the color of the shroud after every battle.
In the end, 100,000 troops entered the army of the Flower Grassland, and only more than 10,000 people set foot on the land of their hometown. Since then, the Hami have learned a little and no longer talk to anyone about anything about the territory.
The lake was the product of a volcanic eruption 100 years after the Hami retreated to the frozen continent, and the Hami would not make any mistakes on it.
Due to the reason of the Huayu Plain, the Hami people stayed away from Xueyue Lake and the Warm Water River, and did not send any troops, but they would never allow this side of the territory to be lost. Once the war broke out, troops were immediately dispatched from the Ice and Snow Forest to threaten the Ice Fortress, the capital of the outer states of the Qin Lang Empire. Finally, coerced the Qin Lang Empire to retreat.
The Warm Water River and Snow Moon Lake still have a certain use value for the Hami kingdom - the feeding grounds for the snow wolves. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the snow wolf, all the snow wolves in the Hami kingdom will not be kept in captivity, all are stocked in the wild, or it would be more accurate to put it another way, after the outbreak of the war, the Hami people relied on their natural sense, found the wild wolf pack and then recruited the wild wolves into the army, the wild wolves are also unusually cooperative, the wolf warriors will be divided into various wolf cavalry teams in groups, the wolf head will become the captain's mount, and the other wolves will be assigned to different levels of warriors according to their status in the wolf pack.
In fact, the Hami Kingdom does not have the strength to raise so many wolf warriors, for the Hami Empire established in the barren ice and snow continent, any fully mobilized war cannot exceed 6 months, otherwise the country's economy will automatically collapse, and the core reason for its economic collapse is that it is eaten by the wolf warriors.
The number of snow wolves has always been around 150,000, and it was originally spread all over the Frozen Continent, since the Qin Lang Empire had territory in the Frozen Continent, the snow wolves strangely automatically retreated to the territory of the Hami Kingdom and the Northern Hami Kingdom, each with about 70,000 heads. Flora and fauna are very scarce on the mainland, and snow wolves are also very difficult to forage, often running for days and nights to catch a prey. As a result, raids on non-Hami human villages have also become the main means of foraging for snow wolves. The Hami are not averse to other races living on the frozen continent - as long as they pay taxes, but the Hami will never allow anyone to harm the snow wolves. In all human villages, there are various ways to hide from wolves. Moreover, more and more permanent residents have become accustomed to this life of "the wolf comes and I hide, and the wolf goes and I come out", and believes that this is also a tax that should be paid to the kingdom of the Hami. Originally, the Hami kingdom would not collect too much tax from the people because of its incorruptible life, so even if the "wolf's head tax" was added, it was still much lighter than that of other countries.
Heiko is one such village where there is a "wolf's head tax", and it has become customary for the people to take only the main large livestock with them every time the wolves come, leaving the appropriate poultry for the wolf grandfathers to enjoy. Wolves don't usually stay long, first, because they are not used to the hot and humid air, and second, the next village is only half a day's journey away, and there is also a tax. They generally don't stay for more than half a day.
"Pounding...... Impulsive...... ......"
In the sound of the wolf claws scratching and pulling, the iron plate on Qin Lang's head sounded rhythmically. A pleasant male voice sounded: "May I ask if this is Haber's house?"
Iron Horse Bingge came into the talk
According to the analysis of the historians of the Qin Lang Empire, Qin Lang I did not want to deceive Muya VII, just like later history, when the Hami Kingdom had to evacuate the Huayu Plain. Although the Flower Language Plain can be obtained again, the Qin Lang Empire, which is strong in national strength, did not send a single soldier into the Flower Language Plain, and it is for this reason that the Divine Court, the second strongest country on the mainland, has been able to develop. So what prompted Qin Lang I, the so-called king of the mainland, to make such a seemingly wrong decision?
Perhaps, we can find the fundamental purpose of the king of the continent from the same little mercenary named Qin Lang 500 years later. -- Mainland King Research Expert: Qin Lang Empire's Royal Scholar Feile Research Notes
"Who?" Qin Lang subconsciously asked, and suddenly realized the coexistence of wolves and humans. Frightened, he hugged his grandfather tightly. I almost screamed.
In the village of Haik, there has never been a Hami coming, and even if there is a need to collect taxes, it is the Hami people who send humans of other races. So in this area. There are wolves and no one. There are people without wolves. Wolves and humans don't coexist at the same time.
"Well, is this Harber's? I'm a friend of Lake Harber. The man's voice came from the top of the city.
"Daddy, Daddy. He's a friend of his father's" Qin Lang almost forgot his father's name when he heard his name, and reached out to open the lock of the iron door. The old man's hand tugged at Qin Lang.
"Listen to your language, you are not from Hami, you should be from the Qin Lang Empire, right?" the old man asked in a deep voice.
"Well, yes, you're Uncle Haber, and I'm here to serve as border guards with the Qin Lang Empire. The man's voice continued to speak slowly.
"How do you stay with the snow wolves, they will eat everything but the Hami, you ......," the old man asked hesitantly.
"Oh, it's okay, I'll let them go, hehe, Uncle Haber, there are some special chances, so I'm one of the few people in the Qin Lang Empire who won't be eaten by the snow wolf. After the man finished speaking, he seemed to be speaking to the snow wolf in the house: "Hey, brothers, let's go, I have something, Xiaobai, let your brothers leave this village." ”
"Woo~~"
After a low wolf howl, the sound of the snow wolf inside and outside the house quickly disappeared.
The old man opened the iron door hesitantly and opened a small crack, and only after confirming that there was indeed no snow wolf through the gap did the old man open the door completely.
A middle-aged man dressed in the traditional costume of the Qin Lang Empire sat on the edge of the bed, and when he saw the old man coming out, he immediately stood up and nodded politely to the old man.
"Hello, Uncle Haber. I'm a friend of Lake Haber who met in the army, and my name is Hanfeng Chi, or you can call me Chi Hanfeng, which might be more palatable. ”
"Uncle, where is my father?" Qin Lang jumped out of the hole and immediately asked the young man anxiously, and the same question appeared between the old man's eyebrows.
"Well, I don't know, to be exact, that's why I'm here. The young man was serious.
"Probably this is the case...... "At the signal of the old man Haber, the young man sat on the edge of the bed and told him why he had come to the village of Heiko.
Like most of the residents of the Warm Water River, the villagers of Haike Village migrated from the Qinlang Empire and the Holy See, and this area is surrounded by ice and snow forests 1,000 kilometers long and 200 kilometers wide in the north, and the only non-coniferous forest on the frozen continent in the east, the Warm Water River Forest, which is also very large, about 300 kilometers wide in length. To the south and west is the sea.
The Qin Lang Empire does not have the right to build a port here, and due to the climate, the Hami Empire will not build a port here. So most of the residents who do move here rarely leave, especially first-generation immigrants like Grandpa Haber.
Unlike young people, Lake Haber spent his childhood in the northern states of the empire, and when he grew up in the village of Heiko, he was a young man with a high heart, unwilling to live in one place for a long time, and insisted on going out into the world. The opinion of the old man Haber is very clear: young people need to go out and break out, live for decades, and should do what young people should do when they are young.
In this way, 10 years ago, during the most recent invasion of the Qinlang Empire, 20-year-old Lake Haber joined the Imperial Army as a guide - if it wasn't for the large force operation, few people would have made it out of the Ice Forest or the Warm Water River Forest alive.
In the 187th year of the Red Moon Calendar, that is, 5 years ago, he had already accumulated military merits in the army and became the captain of the border army of the Qinlang Empire. Haber took a vacation to return to Heike Village with his 2-year-old son, Qin Lang.
Lake Haber's wife after giving birth to Qin Lang. Physically weak and unable to resist the cold of the frozen continent, he died a year later. And Lake. Haber couldn't take care of his son in military life, so he threw the burden on his father.
Hami already knew these things before, and he knew more details than Han Feng Chi. The latter is the main reason why Chi Hanfeng came here.
Also in the year 187 of the Red Moon Calendar, Han Feng Chi was ordered to be transferred from the capital of the empire to serve in the border guards of the northern states of the empire, and was the captain of the cavalry brigade of the border guards. When Lake Haber returned to the army from a family visit, he found that the former cavalry captain had been transferred back to the Plains of Flower Language, on the border of the Empire. In a very formal visit. Got to know Han Feng Chi.
According to this man named Chi Hanfeng, in a series of subsequent cooperation, Laike Haber, who was the commander of the glacier infantry brigade of the border guard at the time, had a life-saving grace with him several times: in the 188th year of the Red Moon Calendar, the newly appointed Chi Hanfeng team pursued the snow orcs who came out to harass the border in the ice and snow forest. Chi Hanfeng, who was unfamiliar with the terrain, was brought into the ice valley 50 kilometers deep in the ice and snow forest by the snow beastmen. The cavalry brigade that wanted to annihilate these snow beastmen in one fell swoop only found out after rushing down. The snow beastmen used the ice ladders on both sides of the ice valley to escape, and the cavalry rushed down the slope and looked back at the 30° slope with a feeling of being abandoned by the heavens - the 20-kilometer long slope only took half a day to rush down. But what about going back??Is there anyone else who can go back??The horses simply don't have the strength to climb the slope and overcome the slippery ice.
When Lake Haber learned of the whereabouts of Chi Hanfeng's troops, he quickly judged the worst-case scenario and led the Glacier Infantry Brigade to chase him to the Ice Valley overnight. Then he used the quilt carried on the sleigh to pave a non-slippery road, so that the border cavalry brigade could avoid the disaster of the total annihilation.
Of course, there are still a few times like this, but the others are mostly personal help or life-saving graces, and what Chi Hanfeng described is very simple.
At the end of the 191st year of the Red Moon Calendar, Ryker Haber, then the Captain of the Cavalry Brigade of the Border Guards and the Captain of the Glacier Infantry Brigade of the Border Guards, received an order from the Governor of the Northern Empire to return to the Governor's Mansion of the Northern Empire to escort the Imperial Archmage to the Ice Begging Tower in the Northern Hami Kingdom for trial.
One of the brigades only needs to escort out of the ice and snow forest on the border of the Qin Lang Empire, while the other brigade needs to escort the archmage into the Begging Tower.
In the history of the empire, there were a total of 342 archmages, of which 134 offered to enter the begging tower for training, according to records, a total of 35 archmages chose the ice beggar tower, but only three mages successfully passed the guò trial. One of the three men entered the Beggar Tower and completed the trial five years later, while the other two ended the trial ten years later. According to the magic diaries of the three Imperial Magisters (the magicians who have been tried out in Guò will be given the title of Magus of the Magic Guild in return), after entering the Trial Tower, they are actually thrown into the Ice and Snow Enchantment, where they can exercise and improve their magic skills in the illusion of the Enchantment.
The task of the escort is to present the credentials to the Kingdom of Hami and the Kingdom of North Hami in the name of the country, and there are three places of the highest level of danger along the way.
The three major dangerous places in the Frozen Continent are: Trial Cave, Dragon's Tooth Mountain, and Ice and Snow Forest.
This trip will all pass through these three dangerous places, among which the ice and snow forest is relatively the safest.
The danger of the Ice and Snow Forest lies in the presence of snow wolves and snow beasts, and there is no one to get supplies; Legend has it that there are ice and snow green dragons near Longya Mountain, which occasionally attack business travelers on the mainland road; as for the written record of the trial cave, the most recent one is 56 years ago, and the team that escorted an archmage to the trial is described. You have to go through the 150-kilometer trial cave before you can reach the Ice Beggar Tower, which takes at least 10 days to walk in this 150-kilometer cave, and there are many monsters inside, and most of them can do ice magic. The escort brigade of 750 people, from the trial cave one in and one out lost 70% of the fighters.
The approximate itinerary is as follows: from the Ice Fortress to the northern border of the Empire, take the continental road, 500 kilometers, and take about 15 days.
Ice and snow forest, take the mainland road, 250 kilometers, about 10 days.
To the capital of the Hami Kingdom to submit the credentials, take the mainland highway, 300 kilometers, it takes about 10 days.
From the royal capital of the Hami Kingdom to Longya Mountain, take the mainland road. 450 kilometers and about 15 days.
It takes about 7 days to cross Longya Mountain and take the mainland road, 150 kilometers.
To the capital of the Northern Hami Kingdom to submit the credentials, take the continental highway, 300 kilometers, it takes about 10 days, and in fact, although the Ice Begging Tower is located in the Northern Hami Kingdom. However, the only way to enter the Beggar Tower is in the territory of the Hami Kingdom, west of Longya Mountain. So it is necessary to return to the kingdom of Hami again.
From the capital of North Hami to the west side of Longya Mountain, take the mainland highway, 450 kilometers, and it takes about 17 days.
Walk southeast along the Longya Mountain Range to the Trial Cave. 300 km. There are no mainland highways. Uninhabited area, which takes about 20 days.
Trial Cave, 150 km. There is no mainland highway, which takes about 12 days.
The entire round trip took about 200 days, and with the time spent in both countries, the whole journey took about 230 days.
For the last four years, Lake. Haber and Chi Hanfeng have cooperated to complete a lot of tasks, but this is the first time they have quarreled during a mission.
Chi Hanfeng's voice became heavier and heavier, and Qin Lang and Grandpa's mood became heavier and heavier~~ Only those who live on the Frozen Continent know the dangers of the Frozen Continent.
A hundred miles of uninhabited people is too common for this continent, a violent blizzard can kill all people within a radius of hundreds of miles - no one on other continents can imagine, a snowstorm can fall for ten days in a row, the snow is more than three meters thick, and all people will be buried alive and suffocated.
The beasts that can survive in this world have extremely great ability and destructive power, and of course, the humans who can survive in this world are much more fierce and brave than the humans of other continents.
"According to the expected itinerary, we walked out of the ice and snow forest...... "The man named Chi Hanfeng has walked into the history of memories.
Acting near the Ice and Snow Forest all year round, the Ice and Snow Forest is no longer too dangerous for the border guards, just like this time, after repelling 3 attacks by snow beasts, two large groups of imperial troops came to the territory of the Hami Kingdom safely.
But on the question of which team will return to the Empire and which team will continue to escort it down, Lake. Haber and Chi Hanfeng quarreled with each other.
Everyone admits that this trip is very risky, so they have to rush to go.
Lake Haber tries to convince Chi Hanfeng for two reasons:
1. No heirs
2. When marching in the snow, the cavalry becomes a burden
But in Chi Hanfeng's understanding, this is precisely the reason why Lake Haber can't continue:
1. If something happens to Lake, his son will be an orphan
2. When marching in the snow, the horses can be more or less faster, and if something happens, the horses can also be killed and eaten - the knights who get off the horse are naturally infantry, where is it worse than the glacier infantry?
In the end, the two good partners made a move - in this case, the strong man goes, and the strong man has a better chance of survival.
Chi Hanfeng is full of confidence, he has entered the Imperial Knight School since he was 8 years old, and has always been a leader in the school in terms of martial arts, and at the age of 20, he tried to ×× guò and became a ×× knight.
When he said this, Ji Hanfeng's voice suddenly became vague, and the two of them, who were concerned about the life and death of Lake Haber, did not pay much attention to the details of his words.
The fight was private.
The result of the battle was absolutely unimaginable to Chi Hanfeng, and he lost in one blow.
In the previous missions of two-person cooperation, the cavalry brigade often performed assault missions, while the glacier infantry brigade often performed the task of pressing or retreating. Chi never remembered seeing Lake Harber make a move, and he was afraid of striking this good friend who was born as a mountain hunter, and he never knew how good his martial arts were.
But in this battle, Chi Hanfeng rode his own mount with a spear and rushed towards Lake Haber, without any tricks, in the wind and snow, Lake Haber went up, and the two-handed big sword smashed directly on the spear, Chi Hanfeng felt that his hand was hot, and the spear was shocked out of the shield defense area. Lake Haber immediately retreated - a knight with a spear, if there was a gap between the gun and the shield, it meant death.
Chi Hanfeng regretted that he didn't use a two-handed spear, otherwise this would not have happened.
"Forget it, brother, don't fight anymore, this is your fate and mine. Lake Haber patted Chi Hanfeng on the shoulder.
"My son is 7 years old, and I wanted to take him to the Ice Fortress in a little later so that he could work out, but now this task is entrusted to you. Help me take care of him. If I can't come back......"
"This happened 11 months ago. Chi Hanfeng's eyes were already moist.
"Is my dad dead?" asked 7-year-old Xiao Qin Lang anxiously and incoherently.
"I don't know, 1 month ago. The soldier who returned from the Begging Tower said that when the archmage entered the begging tower, there was an enchantment storm, not only was the archmage caught in the enchantment, but 3 of the 10 accompanying mages near the enchantment were involved in the begging tower, and your father rushed to the door of the begging tower for everyone's safety, and tried to push the door shut so that the enchantment storm would not rush out of the begging tower, when he used his two-handed sword as a latch to fasten the door. Himself was sucked in. Chi Hanfeng seemed to be back in shape.
"Can he come back??What is the Enchantment Storm?" Xiao Qin Lang asked worriedly.
"It should work. But I don't know how many years it will take. You're still young, and when you're older, you'll know. This person, who was later called an uncle by Qin Lang, replied simply.
In the 192nd year of the Red Moon Calendar, a stranger named Chi Hanfeng became a member of Haike Village in the name of Qin Lang's distant uncle. From the day he came to the village of Heiko. Snow wolves no longer visit the village of Heiko to collect taxes.
In the eyes of posterity. The legendary mercenary Wang Qin Lang really has too many great opportunities. That's why there are such achievements. In fact, this is not the case, among Qin Lang's many famous sayings, there is a sentence that he mentions again and again. But almost all descendants are deliberately forgetting this sentence: if you want to get a hundredfold, you must pay a thousandfold.
Even fewer people know how much Qin Lang hated this sentence when he was young.
——Records of Neil Haber, the twelfth great-great-grandson of mainland historian Qin Lang
"Son, get up. The melodious male voice sounded again.
"Well, uncle, I'll sleep a little longer, just a while, I'm too sleepy. Qin Lang, who was just 8 years old, begged bitterly.
"Ah, it's cold—" A miserable cry came from the darkness of the night. But the neighbors near Haber's hut have become accustomed to this special timed alarm clock.
Xiao Qin Lang quickly jumped out of the quilt full of ice and snow, and after the completion of the prank put the big wooden basin used for Sheng Xue on the ground, he leisurely said a famous sentence: "If you want to get a hundred times, you must pay a thousand times." I must make you a better warrior than your father. ”
The eastern sky had just turned white, and two figures, one large and one small, set off from Haike Village and ran along the warm water river in the direction of Xueyue Lake.
Anyone who sees Chi Hanfeng once thinks he is a nobleman. In the Qinlang Empire, all the nobles of the family had characteristics: elegant temperament and politeness. Chi Hanfeng's first impression is like this, but after a long time, I found another side of this Chi Hanfeng: promoting narrowness and liking people. Two months after moving into Haike Village, everyone who was familiar with Chi Hanfeng was tricked by this outsider. Everyone believed his description of himself - a soldier with only the lowest noble title: noble knight, and such a title could not be hereditary and could not have a fief.
The one who suffered the most was poor Xiao Qin Lang.
This unruly uncle likes to call Xiao Qin Lang his son;Since the day this unruly uncle arrived, Xiao Qin Lang has never slept once;This guy doesn't give Xiao Qin Lang any time to move freely;Although he never beats and scolds Xiao Qin Lang, some of this guy's methods are often more terrible than scolding, such as putting some snow in the quilt in the morning.
I wonder how it would be like to be in Ice Beggar Tarylek Haber if he knew that he had entrusted his son to such a person.
Old Man Haber was not used to this young man treating his grandson like this at first, and he was not used to him calling Xiao Qin Lang "son". But after spending some time with the young man, he accepted the family member. What really touched the old man was some of Chi Hanfeng's actions after Xiao Qinlang fell asleep~~ For example, getting up at night to help Xiao Qinlang fold the quilt, preparing for the next day's cultural class under the oil lamp, and getting up early in the morning to go outside to dig up snow......
Xiao Qinlang's daily homework is roughly as follows: Physical training: Get up before dawn in the morning to run, run along the warm water river to Xueyue Lake, about 20 kilometers. Although the water is lukewarm, there is still snow and ice on both sides of the river. In order to make it easier to run, Chi Hanfeng's request was to travel lightly - he could only wear a thin leather coat.
Willpower Training: After running to Xueyue Lake, take off your clothes and jump to Xueyue Lake to swim. Although there is a snow character in Xueyue Lake, the temperature of the lake water erupting from the ground is extremely high, although swimming is only at the edge of the lake, and does not enter the middle of the lake, and the temperature of the water is enough to boil snow eggs.
Jumping suddenly from the cold ice into the boiling water of the lake can indeed exercise people's will.
In fact, like most hot springs, the waters of Xueyue Lake have very good medical and healing effects, so no matter what kind of torture he endured the day before, Qin Lang can always recover with the help of Xueyue Lake.
After an hour of mental training at Snow Moon Lake. Then there was the physical exercise, swimming along the warm water river back to the village of Heiko. In terms of timing, this physical training was cancelled after only a year.
Qin Lang was so tired once that he fell asleep during the swimming, and the proportion of the warm water river rich in minerals was very large, even if he didn't have to swim, he could float lightly on the water. And the direction in which the river rushes into the sea is precisely the direction of Haike Village, and after discovering this mystery, Qin Lang uses this time to make up for two hours of sleep.
Until one time he overslept and drifted into the sea, Chi Hanfeng went back to the village and waited for half an hour and still didn't see Qin Lang come back, so he was very anxious to find a wooden boat and found Qin Lang sleeping 5 kilometers away from the coastline.
After returning to the village, he received training in combat skills, which was actually chopping wood. What does cutting wood have to do with combat skills? Qin Lang, who was puzzled, asked his lovely Uncle Chi.
The answer was as black humor as ever, "Hmm", Chi touched his nose: "Exactly, I don't know." All the other trainings were arranged by me, only this one was told to me by your father. It seems that this is indeed the attention of Lake Haber, when Qin Lang visited the residents of Haber Village at the behest of Chi Hanfeng and expressed his willingness to provide them with chopped wood for free, most of the old residents actually revealed: "Sure enough, the expression of the children of the Haber family."

Anyone who has ever chopped wood knows that the most important thing to cut wood is the axe, the bigger the wood, the larger the axe needs to be, especially the structure of the back of the axe and the blade, the wider the back of the axe, the better, the blade does not have to be very sharp, but the connection with the back of the axe must be very smooth. In this way, after cutting into the wood, you can make full use of the V-shaped structure of the axe to smoothly separate the wood.
Although it was Chi Hanfeng who made chopping wood a necessary course for Qin Lang, judging from the table, this lower-ranking nobleman of the empire really didn't know anything about chopping wood. Even the largest two-handed axe could not cut through even non-taiga wood.
However, Grandpa Haber knew his son's intentions very well, and in his grandson's skill training for chopping wood, he carefully taught him how to use hand strength, how to use waist strength, how to stand on both feet to exert all his strength, how to see the texture of wood, what kind of texture is easiest to cut down, how to deal with trees with wood tumors, and what to do if you encounter wood with forked wood.
It was not Xiao Qin Lang who listened to Old Man Habo's words, but the uncle named Chi Hanfeng. "Oh, I see, I said how that guy could slash at the hardest place on my gun with the first hit, and still stand so steady in the snow that he could withstand my impact. He muttered thoughtfully.
