Chapter 31: The Tiger Hunt

After getting the military order to disperse, Wu Nian picked up his bags, said goodbye to his brothers, and returned to his small courtyard.

The door is closed.

Wu Nian reached out and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock."

"Xiang'er. I am back. ”

"Brother. You're back. After a while, Wu Nian heard Liu Xiang's joyful call. When the door opened, Liu Xiang's little face full of joy was revealed.

Sure enough, it was a sixteen-year-old girl, and the two hadn't seen each other for a few days. The willow fragrance is a lot whiter and tenderer, and it is different from the appearance when it first crossed.

Wu Nian was proud in his heart, smiled and reached out to touch Liu Xiang's head, which felt very good.

"Hmm. The Meng Yuan people went back, and the danger was lifted. The hundred households ordered us to dissolve on the spot. Wu Nian said as he walked into the courtyard.

"God forbid." Liu Xiang was even more overjoyed, and bent down towards the sky with her hands folded.

The more precious something is, the more it is worth cherishing. The current Wu Nian is the treasure of Liu Xiang. Wu Nian stayed in the barracks, but she was scared every day.

Forthwith. Liu Xiang snatched the bag in Wu Nian's hand and strode back. After Wu Nian sat in the hall for a while, she walked in with water.

"Brother. You drink water and rest. I'm going to buy some meat. ”

Liu Xiang put down the bowl and hurriedly went to her room to withdraw the money.

"Xiang'er doesn't have to." Wu Nian grabbed Liu Xiang's little hand. Her little hands were rough like the hands of an old peasant.

Wu Nian felt a pain in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He said proudly: "Since my brother is back, how can I still buy meat?" I made an appointment with Tie Niu and Lao Li. Tomorrow they will go into the mountains to hunt. ”

Liu Xiang looked back and smiled: "Isn't that tomorrow's thing?" There's nothing to eat at home today. Brother, since you don't want to eat meat, I'll buy you some eggs. ”

After that, Liu Xiang didn't wait for what Wu Nian was saying, hurriedly took the money bag and went out.

"What a good daughter-in-law." Wu Nian sat on the chair and watched Liu Xiang walk out with all her strength, her eyes full of tenderness.

Such a wife is really a gift from God.

Liu Xiang quickly bought the eggs back.

She talked to Wu Nian for a while, and then got up and went to weave, diligent like a little bee. Wu Nian had nothing to do, so he danced the big gun in the courtyard, practiced swordsmanship, opened bows and arrows, and did hand-to-hand training.

Li Ding had not been dead for a few days, but his body was a little stronger. A big gun dances like a tiger.

In the evening, Liu Xiang went to wash rice and cook, steamed three eggs and a bowl of pickles.

When it was time to serve the table, Wu Nian and Liu Xiang sat in the north and south. Liu Xiang peeled the eggs and put them on Wu Nian's rice bowl.

"You eat one too." Wu Nian forcibly stuffed one of the eggs into Liu Xiang's small mouth, and looked at her bulging mouth and strange eyes, and smiled.

That's when it happened.

There was a hurried sound of gongs outside the door.

Liu Xiang hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, it was so dangerous that she almost squirted out the egg.

Wu Nian's eyes lit up, could it be that Meng Yuan is here again? Or bandits, bandits? He winked at Liu Xiang, stood up and walked to the gate.

"Tigers appeared on the hills to the east. Hundred households have an order. Whoever can kill this tiger will be rewarded with a hundred yuan, and he will personally hold it up as a small flag. ”

Someone shouted to the sound of a gong.

As soon as Wu Nian's ears moved, he had a thought in his heart.

This tiger was the first one he encountered, and he reported it to hundreds of households at that time, but then it was gone. Unexpectedly, Baihu now ordered a heavy reward.

It's also a rarity.

Wu Nian opened the door and saw the person who was beating the gong. Some are familiar, and they seem to be the house slaves of a hundred households. Wu Nian grabbed this person, and after asking about it, he couldn't help but suddenly realize.

It turned out that his son was killed by a tiger, no wonder Baihu gave such a heavy reward.

But there is no need to investigate the reason, this Xiaoqi's position makes his eyes hot.

Early the next morning. After Wu Nian said goodbye to Liu Xiang, facing the glimmer of the east, he went east out of Beishan Fort and saw that Li Yong had already packed up and was waiting near the city gate.

"Lao Li. So early, huh? Wu Nian went up to say hello.

"I'm old. Can't sleep. Lao Li replied with a smile. After the two brothers said something, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, and Tie Niu came one after another.

Wu Nian greeted everyone and came to a remote place to squat down.

"Brothers. You should all know about the tiger. Are you interested? Wu Nian raised his head and glanced around at everyone, and asked in a deep voice.

Li Yong and the others were wondering why Wu Nian beckoned them to squat down and speak, and suddenly realized when they heard the words.

"Brother. That's a tiger. Although the 100 bounty is very eye-catching, it has to be a life flower. Wang Gui's body was weak and his courage was also insufficient, so he shook his head and said.

"yes. How many people failed to kill the tiger, but were killed by the tiger. This is no joke. Zhang Sheng also nodded in agreement.

Li Yong and Tie Niu showed a contemplative look and did not rush to express their position.

When Wu Nian saw this, he knew that the two of them were excited, so he made persistent efforts. With pride on his face, he said, "Of course there are skills in hunting tigers. Most of the people were scrambling at the roar of the tiger and eventually died under the tiger's mouth. ”

"Just hold your ground and use your spear to resist in the front."

"Someone else is shooting arrows."

"It's not difficult to kill a tiger."

Speaking of this, Wu Nian's eyebrows were bright, he glanced at the four of them and said, "We are all soldiers, and our lives are hard, and we have no hope." It's an opportunity to miss and you'll be in the bag for the rest of your life. ”

Hearing this, Tie Niu was moved, and immediately clenched his right fist and slammed it into the dirt, leaving a small hole. His face showed a look of determination, and he nodded heavily: "Brother is right. I agree with Tiger Hunting. ”

Li Yong sighed and said, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. The stupid son of my family is over twenty years old and has no daughter-in-law. I gave up my life and did it with you. ”

Wu Nian turned his head to look at Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng.

I'm afraid that only three people can't do this, so I have to add two of them.

"Since the brothers are all on it, can I still back down?" Wang Gui swept away his timidity, nodded with a smile and said.

"Yes. Let's do it. Zhang Sheng nodded emphatically.

"Good brother." Wu Nian had a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and patted the two of them on the shoulder. Then he said in a deep voice: "Although the tiger has not been killed, it is a bit arrogant to talk about the money. ”

"But as the saying goes, brothers settle accounts."

"We'll make an appointment. If you really hunt the tiger. I only need Xiaoqi's official position, some tiger skins and tiger meat. How about you divide the 100 yuan equally? ”

Speaking of this, Wu Nian bowed his hand to everyone and said sincerely: "Brothers, don't worry. As long as I am a small flag, I will not treat you badly. ”

Wu Nian's words were actually a bit rude.

Can a small flag be compared with a hundred dollars?

But then again.

This small flag is a trophy that cannot be cut, and if the tiger hunt is successful, someone will have to be the official.

Besides.

During this time, everyone was already very familiar with Wu Nian.

Wu Nian is true to his words and righteous spirit. Calm and resolute.

They all serve Wu Nian as a person.

"Okay." Everyone nodded without hesitation.

Wu Nian had a smile on his face, stood up energetically, and strode east with a big gun.

"Let's go."
