Chapter 22: Heroic Hunting Father
The first time he went to the mountains to hunt, Zhu Cijiao caught a little white rabbit alive and killed a black wild boar, which was already a brilliant result.
"Apprentice, I have gained a lot today, and I can call it a day." Zhang Yin said to the two apprentices with a happy face.
"Master, the apprentice is not addicted yet, can you hunt some other prey?" Zhu Cijiao asked Zhang Yin excitedly.
"This wild boar has more than 100 catties, I don't know how to take it back, let's come back in a few days." Zhang Yin pointed to the wild boar on the ground and said.
When Zhang Yin was at a loss, Zhu Cijiao grabbed the wild boar's feet with both hands and threw his whole head on his shoulders with all his might: "Let's go, call it a day." ”
Such a big wild boar Zhu Cijiao can actually carry it alone, buckwheat and Zhang Yin looked at him.
"Let's go, what are you looking for?" They forgot that he could carry the big wood at the door, and the wild boar was more than 100 catties, and Zhu Cijiao carried it on his shoulders, which was very easy.
Zhu Cijiao carried the wild boar, and the iron clamp was only on Zhang Yin's back.
Seeing that it was inconvenient for the master to carry an iron clamp on his back and hold a crossbow in his hand, Zhu Cijiao took the crossbow with one hand and set foot on the mountain road back to the hut.
As soon as he walked out of the col, a pheasant flew up from the bushes, Zhu Cijiao raised the crossbow with one hand, pulled the mechanism, and the pheasant that flew into the air was shot down.
Buckwheat quickly ran over and grabbed the pheasant that shot its wings back: "Senior brother, you are too smart, today the master taught you to shoot pheasants, and you hit it!" ”
"Of course."
On the way back, Zhu Cijiao was a little puzzled, why didn't the system reward him if his performance was so good today?
The sun is gradually setting on the mountain, Zhu Cijiao and the master and sister are almost at the hut, and they still haven't heard the sweet mezzo-soprano, is there something wrong with the system?
"Ding Ding, the host's performance today is good, the system has repeatedly calculated, and the host has been given 1 point for the basic points of the super exercise, the approved bravery value is 3.0, and the skill system has been increased to 2.5." The system elf finally sent the reward.
"What is the approved bravery value? The system has not had this indicator before, huh? Zhu Cijiao asked the elf in his heart.
"Bravery is a special reward for the system to the particularly brave host, the vast majority of hosts do not get this reward, your performance today conquered the system, giving you an approved bravery value of 3.0, and the highest bravery value is only 3.5." The system elf explained carefully.
"What's the benefit of getting Bravery points?" This is the issue that Zhu Cijiao is most concerned about.
"A host with a high value of bravery will form a powerful force that can deter ferocious creatures." The elves are further resolved.
Zhu Cijiao secretly thought, this dragon protection system is really a bull B, now that he has obtained this courage value, he will not be able to become a general, a prince or an emperor in the future.
Before dark, he finally returned to the hut, Zhu Cijiao put the wild boar on the ground, and Zhang Yin was busy boiling water, scalding and scraping the wild boar.
"Senior brother performed so well today, we have no shortage of meat to eat during this time, and today Senior Sister will reward you with a massage." Buckwheat said, pinching Zhu Ci's shoulders and beating his back.
"Don't say it, Senior Sister's technique is not bad, it's weird and comfortable." Zhu Cijiao glanced back at the buckwheat, and the four eyes were facing each other, and a red cloud suddenly flashed over the buckwheat's face.
"Senior sister, okay, go and help the master, I'm hungry." Zhu Cijiao said to buckwheat.
Zhang Yin and Buckwright were busy for a while, and finally brought out two large pots of meat, one pot of braised pheasant meat and the other pot of boiled wild boar, and the room was filled with the fragrance of meat.
Zhu Cijiao has a great appetite, since entering the mountain, he rarely has to eat meat, but today he can finally feast and scoop up bowls and eat.
Zhang Yin took out a bottle of old local wine from the cellar, and as soon as he opened the cap, the room was filled with a strong aroma of wine. These two large pots of meat, with this wine, are simply a perfect match.
"Master, it's boring for you to drink alone, I'll drink two cups with you!" Zhu Ci was also a good wine in his previous life, and he couldn't help it when he smelled the wine.
"Can you drink?" Zhang Yin looked at Zhu Cijiao and asked.
"I don't know if I can drink it, but I can learn it!" Zhu Cijiao could only answer like this.
"Okay!" Zhang Yin poured the wine into two earthen bowls.
"Master, apprentice respects you, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan." Zhu Cijiao raised the wine bowl, couldn't find any words for a while, and said two words casually.
"Good, good! Thank you, apprentice! Zhang Yin lifted the wine bowl and drank it.
With the spice of this fine wine, Zhu Cijiao ate five bowls of meat, and felt that life in the deep mountains was so cool for the first time.
……
When they had eaten and drunk, they all went to sleep.
Zhu Cijiao lay on the bed, thinking to himself, how would his father react when he knew his performance today in a dream?
Thinking about it, Zhu Cijiao went to meet his father in a dream.
"Ci Yao, you don't do well in catching white rabbits, but you are so brave when you hunt wild boars." Zhu Youlang praised Zhu Ciyu as soon as they met.
"Father, my son's first time hunting today, I have no experience, fight a few more times, and I should do a better job of hunting prey." Zhu Ciyi's conversation with his father also became casual.
"You ate meat in a big bowl yesterday and drank wine, so you had a good life." Unexpectedly, Zhu Youlang also envied the life in the mountains.
"How can I compare with my father, my father is delicacies from the mountains and seas every day!" Zhu Cijiao deliberately praised his father.
"Where do you get the delicacies of the mountains and seas, I am worried about the Qing army every day, and I can't open the pot for three meals a day." Zhu Youlang actually complained to his son.
"Father's dragon body is important, you can hold on for another two or three years, and when your son grows up a little, you can share it for your father." Zhu Cijiao comforted his father.
"You show your father if Guilin is peaceful these days." Zhu Youlang has become accustomed to asking Zhu Ci to take the pulse of the future.
"Back to my father, Liu Chengyin and Jiao Lian have had friction in the past few days, and the people and horses brought by the two have left Guilin, Guilin is equivalent to an empty city, and the Qing army will attack the city in three days." Zhu Cijiao recalled history and couldn't help but be startled.
"So what to do?" Zhu Youlang had Zhu Cijiao, a small military advisor, and became too lazy to think, so he asked Zhu Cijiao as soon as he opened his mouth.
"This is a great opportunity to strike at the Qing army, and Qu Shiyun immediately urged Liu Chengyin and Jiao Lian to quietly return to Guilin to garrison Guilin, strengthen defense, and catch him off guard."
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
……
The next day, Zhu Youlang, who was far away in Guilin, summoned Qu Shiyun to inquire, and learned that the two troops of Liu Chengyin and Jiao Lian stationed in Guilin had withdrawn from Guilin due to friction between the two departments.
"If it weren't for the prince Zhu Cijiao telling me in a dream, I wouldn't have known that Guilin was an empty city." Zhu Youlang was furious.
"The emperor is angry, this is a dereliction of duty." Qu Shiyun hurriedly admitted his mistake.
"It's useless to be overlooked, I order you to urge the Chengyin Department and Jiao Lian to quietly enter the city tonight, remember, it is to quietly enter the city, do a good job of defense, and the Qing army will attack the city in three days." Zhu Youlang especially emphasized quietly entering the city.
"Obey! Can you ask, where did the intelligence come from when the Qing army attacked the city on three days? Qu Shiyun didn't believe that the emperor could get information about the Qing army without leaving home.
"Lord Qu can't help but suspect that my information is wrong, and it will be clear in three days, if you fail to supervise and command, and delay the fighter, I will show you questions." Zhu Youlang's patience reached the extreme.
"Obey." Qu Shiyun had no choice but to implement it.
……
Zhu Cijiao's prophecy once again came true, on May 16 of the first year of the Yongli calendar.
A few days ago, the Qing soldiers reconnoitred Guilin, which was already an empty city, and attacked Guilin again, thinking that it would be easy to occupy Guilin.
Unexpectedly, Guilin City was defended by Qu Shiyun and Jiao Lian. First of all, the Qu Shi troops fired artillery to bombard the enemy soldiers outside the city, and the Qing army was defeated.
Then, Jiao Lian led his troops to attack in the rain, and to the surprise of the enemy soldiers, the Qing soldiers abandoned their armor and helmets, and fled one after another.
This time, Zhu Ci reported in his dream, not only defended Guilin again, but also happily fought the Qing army.
Qu Shiyun had to marvel at Zhu Youlang's clever calculation again.
And Zhu Youlang marveled at Zhu Cijiao's unpredictable prophet, and he deeply sighed that if it were not for the dream protection of his sons, he would have been killed by the Qing army a long time ago.
