Volume 1丨Jiang is the hometown of the Qing Dynasty The Seventh Chapter: Expedition
From the time everyone woke up, to the moment they appeared in the valley, they were still a little stunned mentally, and they saw what happened to the chestnuts with their own eyes, and they could all roughly feel that this was a magical experience. After all, several people are also children of Jiang Guo's family, and they have not seen it with their own eyes but have seen this kind of miraculous story from books, so they are not so scary, but more curious than suspicious.
Until Situ Changqing and Jiang Quanliang were also "called", everyone was already numb. But when she heard the woman in red say that she wanted everyone to follow her, it was obvious that the big guys were gone.
"I still have to go home and report to my parents." "My family's given doll hasn't been done yet?" "I'm a picky eater, I can't stand it on the road! "Who are you, you, who will take us away when you say you will take us away? "It's messy, it's crooked.
Zhu Yu looked at these naughty little guys, but he had more patience and good temper than he did with Bai Lin. She smiled at the nonsense of the ten people, and didn't say anything with her hands on her chest.
"That, don't make any noise. I don't need to introduce who I am, Situ should have already told you about it, listen to me, you will travel with this girl, Lord Wang, I promise here, when you come back, I will ensure that you will be added to the rank one by one, how about it? ”
"Then you should always talk back to your parents, right?" "Which green onion are you?" "Entering the Lord? Let's go into the coffin! "I want to eat the osmanthus meat floss made by my mother." Jiang Quanliang didn't say anything, but this statement was all aimed at him again.
Jiang Quanliang shyly approached Zhu Yu's side, his eyes dodged, and said softly: "Girl, I can only help you get here." Can the girl have an address so that we can communicate with each other in the future? ”
Liang Zongli opened his mouth wide, this and the Captain Hong he just met had completely become two people. In the barracks, that person was drenched and popular, saying the same thing, which was like now, with a face.
At this time, Liang Zongli found that not far away, someone was looking at him from behind a tree, and he found that it was Ah Yun. The moment Ah Yun saw him, he immediately ran away, and Liang Zongli hurriedly chased after him.
Because the chestnut was still in a comatose state, what had happened before, Liang Zongli didn't know yet, he just found that among the younger brothers and sisters, he didn't see the shadow of the second son.
Catching up with Ah Yun, who was sitting paralyzed by the stream and crying, Liang Zongli asked her with concern, why didn't she see her second son, if she was separated, she would find it.
Ah Yun shrugged his shoulders, cried even harder, and didn't speak. Liang Zongli helped her and sat down beside her, letting her head rest on her shoulder.
At this time, Bai Lin appeared on the big stone on the side at some point, lying there watching the excitement.
"That little cub, don't ask, I'll let you see."
When Ah Yun heard this, he shouted loudly and said no.
"If you dodge for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime. I'm here to help you for my family's sake. You Terrans are hypocritical. After speaking, without waiting for Ah Yun's "resistance", a gust of forest wind blew, rolled up the stream, and a picture scroll slowly appeared, and Ah Yun could only cover his eyes, trembling and not daring to look.
After Liang Zongli finished reading it, her muscles burst out but she had nowhere to vent. He ran under a tree, waving his fists and venting his anger. Situ Jing didn't know when, but she also came here, standing from afar, watching all this.
"Hey, I'm back, that one called Zhu Yu, I have something to tell us." After speaking, Situ Jing turned around and left.
Liang Zongli looked back at Ah Yun, who was still crying, and wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to speak, so she hesitated again and again, so she had to turn around and leave.
Zhu Yu took them to a secluded place, and said straight to the point: "My name is Zhu Yu, born in Kukai, is the innate spiritual fire incarnation, cultivated for thousands of years, and later lost with other demon clans in the battle of Gendu, for nearly a thousand years, I have been gathering the gods scattered all over the world, so I prepared early." Last time, you sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, but this time I can't allow you to watch the excitement. ”
Everyone turned their heads to each other, and Kukai listened to the elders of the family say it, but it seemed that it was the first time they had heard of any big war, and as for what Zhu Yu said at the end, they didn't listen carefully to let alone think about the deep meaning.
"If you have any questions, just ask, but I'll only give you three questions." Zhu Yu interrupted them.
"You're a demon too? So what is your ontology? ”
"It used to be a demon, but now it is a spirit. Ontology, even if it's a ray of literature, these are two problems, and you still have the last one. ”
Situ Jing glared at Liang Zongqing, blaming her for taking the lead in asking questions without thinking about it, and wasting an opportunity. She asked, "Why did you ask us to follow you?" ”
"Look at you."
Is that the answer? Situ Jing felt that this answer was very perfunctory, but Liang Zongli felt that this woman named Zhu Yu was not joking.
"And what do we call you?" "Are you going to teach us the Immortal Method, just like that chestnut?" "I still want to go home and report to my parents. The crowd began to chirp again.
Zhu Yu smiled and said: "In the future, you can call me Wen Ray, my rules are that there are no rules." I won't teach you the immortal method, to be honest, all of you have average qualifications and no Taoism, but I will give you, how to put it, that is, you human skills to guide you one or two. Your father, the county guard will go back to help inform you, and I can't guarantee that you will be unharmed in the future, but in the words of your human race, the horse leather shroud will definitely not be, at most it will be a loss of arms and legs. ”
At this time, they realized that this woman didn't seem to be as difficult to talk as they imagined, no, she still answered their questions more.
"Then what will we do with you in the future?" Liang Zongli asked.
"Fight with me, first of all, let's take the high country to play." Zhu Yu didn't seem to be fake, and everyone suddenly fell silent, feeling a momentum of looking at the world.
After a while, everyone suddenly burst into laughter again. Demons are demons, more crazy than us, just rely on us to take down a country? A city is laborious, and a village is about the same.
Zhu Yu looked at these "children" with a smile, and thought, take advantage of the present, hurry up and laugh, from tomorrow onwards, you will not be able to laugh.
And in the next few months, these people really never showed a smile on their faces again, and since then they have lived a "good life" when teenagers have become cattle and girls have become teenagers.
Taking advantage of the temporary stability of the outside world, Jiang Quanliang and Situ Changqing, with the help of Qiu, hurried back to the county town to discuss countermeasures. Here, with the help of Qiu and Sang, the dustpan valley quietly expanded a radius of several miles, and under the arrangement of Bai Lin and Jin Ge, the inside of the village can not only be sunny, starry and moony, but also cloudy and misty outside the valley, not disturbed by the outside world, it has become a paradise to escape the troubled times. Several villages gathered together, about 300 families, and since then they have been recuperating here, and they have lived a leisurely life.
At the suggestion of many villagers, it was called Dustpan Village from then on, and a village chief was elected. The village is built along the valley, the stone and wood cottages are built on the mountainside and the height of the Lihua River, the hard-working villagers, also opened up several large terraces, built a few waterwheels, transplanted several four-season fruit forests, on the open martial arts field in the center of the village, is a tall Fusang tree that Sang "moved over", according to the generation, should be counted as the great-great-grandson of the mulberry, even at night, it will exude a brilliant light, and the lights of the villagers' homes not far away complement each other.
On the first day, before the light was seen and the rooster had not yet crowed, Zhu Yu sat on the tree in the village and blew a breathtaking whistle. After a simple stretching exercise, I began to run up and down the valley along the village road, and the thunder could not be moved for half an hour every day, but if there was any laziness, I didn't want to eat the venison specially brought by chestnuts at noon.
After the morning run, Zhu Yu arranged for the two of them to work in a team and start wrestling, regardless of gender. Soon, Liang Zongli and Situ Jing became the last partners to be left to form a team. The two of them were not merciful, the others basically collapsed to the ground after half an hour of fighting, but they did not die, Liang Zongli would not shy away from catching any sensitive parts of her, Situ Jing would not care, and often attacked wildly according to his weaknesses, the two of them were happy to come and go, until they also collapsed to the ground and gasped, and Zhu Yu would not stop them.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yu didn't know where to get all kinds of weapons, axes, knives, forks, hooks, swords, halberds, whips, hammers, long and short dazzling, a detailed introduction to all kinds of weapons, after the use of skills and pros and cons in various battlefield environments, in addition to bows and daggers, everyone must have and master, the long weapon Zhu Yu let them use the double moon blade halberd, only give them the choice of short weapons, depending on their respective eye selection, but when choosing, you need to report your name, why will you choose this weapon.
Situ Jing, fine iron soft whip, the reason is that he has been used to calling since he was a child. Liang Zongqing chose a long-handled single-head hammer because the headshot was very cool. Especially Jun, he chose the horizontal horse knife, but he said that he was used to it. Xia Weifeng, a slender and seemingly thin teenager, chose a double hook and felt that ground warfare was more practical. Wei Yi, holding his head in both hands, said lazily that he would choose two small axes, which are more consistent with his figure. Xing Baoyan and Qu Xintang, like Liang Zongqing, also chose a hammer, and the reasons are the same as her. Yi Houpeng, I chose a moire sword because it looked the same as me, and it was more handsome. Shan Yuanming, a teenager who looked more like a middle-aged man, chose a double hammer because he felt that it might be convenient to carry it. Tan Qianru also chose the moire sword, saying that it might be more appropriate for her strength to take this. Wu Bo, I didn't think about it after watching it for a long time, and said that it would be a horizontal saber, and I didn't particularly like it. In the end, Liang Zongli said that the county guard gave him a Xuantie knife, so he didn't make a choice, and Situ Jing couldn't help but glance at him.
After listening to this, Zhu Yu nodded and said yes, since everyone has their own habits, then everyone should use a horizontal horse knife. Everyone was stunned for a while, so what else do you let us choose? The reason given by Zhu Yu is that I don't have time to teach you, and it is convenient for me to use one for your convenience, which makes everyone speechless.
Next, it was a weight-bearing exercise and a two-team empty-handed and armed confrontation practice, until noon, everyone helped each other to come to the "canteen", trembling and eating the meals specially prepared by the villagers.
In the afternoon, it was all shooting training, just holding a bow, and practicing for half an hour, hanging stones in his hands, sweating under the scorching sun. Then there is another hourly target, divided into fixed target and moving target, and the vermilion fish bolted a stake like a swing to the tree, allowing them to experience the shooting experience at different speeds and at various distances. Finally, it is the explanation and drill of the infantry and riding formation that combines the sand table and the actual situation.
At sunset, Zhu Yu took them to the top of the mountain to a specially opened medicinal soup with a foul smell, and they had to soak for half an hour before they could come out. During this period, everyone must familiarize themselves with the military book, and the requirement is to memorize it backwards as a written test assessment at the end of the month.
In the evening, back in the dormitory, where men and women were separated, everyone was planted on the bed, each complaining. Some people say, why should we suffer this kind of hardship, some people propose to run away in the middle of the night, some people say that they lie flat and love to love it, talking and talking, snoring one after another, from time to time there are people patting mosquitoes with their hands, and the insects outside the window are constantly coming in the moonlight shining into the house.
During the training, Wei Yi and Wu Bo took advantage of the dark night and high wind to run, Zhu Yu saw it in his eyes, and did not stop it, but when he left the village, there were foggy mountains and forests in front of him, and he couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south, and the two of them wandered around for two days and two nights, and in the end they really couldn't get out, and their hungry eyes were full of gold stars, so they could only cry and say no run, no run, Lord Zhu Yu let us go, and then was passed back by Qiu. There are also people, including Liang Zongli, who are dissatisfied with certain subjects, thinking that they don't need to start from scratch to beat the best, and finally have to re-realize that they have a few pounds and taels, and honestly start "reviewing" from the basic skills. Zhu Yu said, whatever you run, as for thinking that you are very good, or challenging me, you had better weigh it, after all, your age is there, don't compare with her in terms of seniority and experience, it is purely a butterfly shaking the tree. It was from here that the vermilion fish called them Butterfly Butterfly Butterfly Butterfly Butterfly Butterfly
A month later, a messenger from the county town brought twelve butterfly-shaped waist plaques carved from white jade, as well as more than a hundred black war horses and other baggage. Everyone saw the words captain engraved on the waist card, and secretly rejoiced, but they robbed others of a look, okay, everyone is a captain? Okay, Zhu Yu, count you ruthless.
So Wei Yi and Wu Bo took a few people, found the village chief, asked the village women to help, and made a red and white-edged butterfly military flag for them overnight, and after eating at noon, several people carried them on the martial arts field, shouting "We are butterflies, we are butterflies, righteous little butchers, righteous little butchers, righteous little butchers, we must kill the enemy, kill them clean!" The children of the village laughed. Zhu Yu didn't care, he didn't ask. After a long time, they also seemed to figure out the temperament of the vermilion fish, that is, during the drill, no one wanted to be lazy, and the rest, they did what they liked, so several people became more and more bold, and even openly began to ride horses in the village, and sometimes even jumped down from the terraces, rampage, but fortunately no one was hurt every time. After Zhu Yu found out, not only did he not explicitly prohibit it, but also let Liang Zongli, Xia Weifeng, Tan Qianru and a few honest people also follow the nonsense, just one request, hurt others to trample on farmland and cottages, serve by military law, and hurt themselves so that they deserve to be unlucky. It's a pity that the villagers suffered, but after a long time, I got along with these children, and found that they didn't hurt anyone even if they tossed, and occasionally helped them do some farm work, hunt some prey, repair houses or something, so I didn't say anything, but added some vitality to these poor people who had experienced the hardships of the war.
During this period, Zhu Yu became more and more strict with their infantry and cavalry battles, and everyone needed to do a command, participate in scheduling and passwords, formation drills, machine combat actions, and so on. There is also a rattan armor strapped to the whole body to record injuries, and it has also been decided that after the regular assessment, the respective teams will be responsible. Zhu Yu said, whether you get on the horse or stand on the ground, you must do it for me, a team is one person, a few simple movements and eyes, you must do all the people understand like an arm. One-on-one, or one-on-one, there is only one requirement, a quick battle, don't be ashamed to beat each other, on the battlefield, only surviving is the ultimate goal, the courage of the puppet does not exist in her, and she found that a whole team fasted for two days.
Situ Jing is okay, after all, she is used to being wild when she is young, and Liang Zongqing can barely survive it. But Tan Qianru, Xing Baoyan and Qu Xintang were originally everyone's ladies, and they used to accompany Situ Jing to make a small fuss, and their physical strength couldn't keep up at all, so Zhu Yu would open a small stove for them every time. The three girls secretly cry their noses every late at night, but the inner part of who said that women are not as stubborn as men makes them persist in the end.
Two months later, Chestnut made a rare trip down the mountain, holding a red white battle robe and various weapons, and threw it heavily on the martial arts arena. The reason why it took so long is that Bai Lin and Jin Ge, and even Zhu Yu, can basically be said to have invested blood, used certain means, plus Qiu and Sang searched for materials everywhere and forged them with heart, it can be said that every weapon taken outside is a priceless treasure.
In fact, on the basis of the unified system, Zhu Yu has been modified according to the characteristics of each person, such as Liang Zongli's bow, which has a longer range, faster rate of fire and higher accuracy, and the girls' horizontal sabers are also slightly lighter, and the blade is slightly longer and thinner, which is more suitable for their swinging. Wei Yi proposed, let's give it a name, Wu Bo said, do you still use it, butterfly spear, butterfly armor, butterfly bow, all butterflies, we are all butterflies, causing everyone to laugh. Zhu Yu said, yes, in this vast world, we are butterflies, only remember this, sooner or later, we can also shake the indestructible tree.
Another month later, late one night, Brother Jin called Zhu Yu away, and he didn't know what he said. In the morning, Zhu Yu still woke them up with a whistle, and it was time to test the ability of this team with actual combat.
While they were comfortably "hiding" in the village of Dustpan, Gao's army continued to march towards Andong City and divided into three groups, one of which remained tireless to besiege the city, and the other two continued to set out to capture other counties. If it weren't for the mound, the messengers asking for help would not have been able to get out of the city and get here.
Without any rhetoric and generosity before mobilization, Zhu Yu just told them lightly that they put on their armor and got on their horses, ready to set off, and pointed their guns at Andong City.
Everyone is dressed up and ready to go. Although it was not yet dawn, the villagers who heard the sound went out of their homes one after another, and adults and children crowded together, looking at these teenagers and girls with tears in their eyes. Ah Yun hid in the crowd, wanting to but not daring to step forward and tell Liang Zongli. After Liang Zongli said goodbye to her grandfather and father, she saw Ah Yun's cowardly figure, turned the horse's head, walked to her, turned over and dismounted, touched the heads of her younger brothers and sisters, and just said to Ah Yun: "Wait for me to come back." Then he got on his horse again and resolutely caught up with the team.
The bright red butterfly flag fluttered in the procession, and no expression could be seen on everyone's face, and they did not know that before long, the entire mountains and rivers would be shaken by their horses' hooves.
