Chapter 57: Haojie
Wu Nian was very calm, looking up in the direction where the voice came from. I saw two men hiding among the dense trees. They are all coarse linen clothes, stout and burly.
They spread their bows and arrows, and watched fiercely.
"Don't care. These people are fugitive soldiers. It is appropriate to be wary of outsiders. Wu Nian calmly waved his hand to Tie Niu and Zhang Sheng, and motioned for the two to put down their bows and arrows.
Tie Niu and Zhang Sheng were still vigilant, but they obeyed Wu Nian's orders and slowly put down their bows and arrows.
"Don't be nervous, brothers. I am Wu Nian, a small banner of Beishan Fort, and I heard about the prestige of Zhang Jinzhang's strong man, so I came to pay a visit. ”
Wu Nian bowed his hand to the man in the mountain, very polite.
The two men in the mountains were taken aback, and a man with a pockmarked face on the left asked, "But Wu Xiaoqi who killed the tiger?" ”
Wu Nian was a little surprised that these guys actually knew about me. It seems that they are not really isolated from the world, and contact with Yamashita should be frequent.
Tie Niu looked arrogant, took a step forward with his head held high, and said proudly: "It is Wu Xiaoqi who killed the tiger." ”
As if he was Wu Nian.
The two men glanced at each other, put down the bow and arrow in their hands, took the path down the mountain and came to Wu Nian, and saluted together: "It turned out to be Wu Xiaoqi." We have eyes that do not know Mount Tai, and please forgive us. ”
The two strong men were serious. I came here without saying hello, and that's what alarmed you, and it was my fault. Wu Nian bent over, still very polite.
The two men glanced at each other, respecting Wu Nian more and more.
Wu Nian is a tiger killer, with prestige and ability. They respected Wu Nian's ability just now.
And they were exiled military households, with a lowly status. Wu Nian can treat them so politely, which makes them very useful, and he respects Wu Nian even more.
"Our eldest brother has a bold personality and likes to make friends from all over the world. If he knew that Wu Xiaoqi was coming, he would definitely be very happy. Small flag adult, please. ”
The pockmarked-faced man stretched out his right hand and bent over and said.
"Please." Wu Nian also politely stretched out his right hand and bent down slightly.
Immediately, the two of them led the way and walked towards the building complex with Wu Nian and others.
"Two brothers. I see that the land on this mountain is barren, and you may be very difficult to live on weekdays. Wu Nian looked around and asked casually.
"It's not bitter. In the past, when we were military households, we were exploited by officials at all levels. That's the bitterness. Don't look at me as strong now, I was skinny and skinny before I went up the mountain. ”
The pock-faced man said with a smile.
"Ahem." The man next to him coughed and gave his companion a look. Mazi's face didn't understand at first, but then he woke up and quickly stopped and apologized: "My stinky mouth is open-mouthed." Please don't be surprised. ”
Isn't the person in front of him an official?
"It doesn't matter. You're right. Nine out of ten officials are not good. Wu Nian waved his hand generously and said with a smile.
Mazi's face breathed a sigh of relief, he was very talkative, and said again: "The fields on this mountain are a little barren, but you don't have to pay rent." As many fields as you cultivate, you can have as many fields as you can and how much grain you can produce. ”
"When the autumn harvest is complete and the prey is plump, we go into the mountains to hunt. Eat a mouth full of oil. ”
"Our eldest brother is also very capable. In the good years, he gathered the grain of the people and repaired the granary. In a year of disaster, it is taken out and used. ”
"Don't mention how happy you are these days."
Wu Nian's eyes lit up slightly and nodded. This Zhang Jin is not only outstanding in force, but also quite disciplined in doing things, and has won the hearts of the people, and he is indeed a great person.
It's the right time.
Now is a troubled time, and our partnership can not only increase the chances of survival, but maybe also live a very nourishing life.
Soon the group reached the edge of the complex, where spring had not yet begun, and the fields were deserted. Spring has arrived, and the prey is also thin and has little oil and water.
People are scattered around the village, preparing for the beginning of spring.
"Lao Zhang, Wang Yang. Who is this? How did you bring strangers up the mountain? An old man saw the group first, surprised and vigilant.
"Gouber. This is Wu Nian of Beishan Fort, Wu Xiaoqi. It's the one who fights the tiger. He came to visit our big brother. Wang Yang introduced with a smile on the pockmarked face.
"It turned out to be Wu Xiaoqi. Xiao Zhang, he respects the hero the most. He must be glad that you could come and visit him. The old man's face suddenly changed, and he said happily.
Wu Nian was introduced by Wang Yang and Lao Zhang all the way, and came to a corner of the building complex with a swagger.
A stout man, with a disc face and a dark complexion that seemed to have not taken a bath for ten years, sat cross-legged on a flat rock, his eyes closed, his chest slightly undulating, and he breathed evenly and regularly.
He was dressed in a green shirt, and his hair was scattered, and he was very wild.
He opened his eyes when he heard the movement. A pair of eyes are big and round, as if there is a spirit shining in them, as bright as stars.
"Good momentum." Wu Nian praised in his heart.
This extraordinary person is indeed very capable. Many people in Liaodong know Zhang Jin, and he has a small reputation.
Born from the heart.
The timid will only promise, but the brave will have courage.
Seeing it today, Zhang Jin really deserves his name.
"What a bright eye."
Tie Niu and Zhang Sheng were startled, Tie Niu stood still, but Zhang Sheng took a step back, and his face turned pale.
"You're a good soldier." Zhang Jin glanced at Tie Niu and said appreciatively.
"You're a hero." Zhang Jin turned around and said to Wu Nian.
Momentum is an invisible but real thing, and the angry eyes of King Kong can shock a hundred ghosts. The moment he opened his eyes just now, a murderous aura condensed.
Zhang Sheng's face was colorless, and he took a step back.
Iron Bull stood still, but he was a little nervous.
Only Wu Nian was the only one with a calm face as usual.
Heroes, of course.
"There are friends from afar, and they don't say it. Dare to ask the name of the little brother. Zhang Jin stood up, jumped down from the big rock, and bowed his hand, bold and polite.
"My surname is Wu Mingnian, a person from Beishan Fort." Wu Nian smiled and returned the salute.
"It turned out to be the one who killed the tiger." Zhang Jin was stunned for a moment, and then praised: "The tiger is the king of beasts, and ordinary people must be afraid in front of it and let it be slaughtered." If you can kill a tiger, you are an extraordinary person. ”
"I have a jar of 10-year-old daughter red in my house. Let's go, have a drink. Zhang Jin laughed, pointed to his three grass houses, and invited.
"Please." Wu Nian happily agreed.
Wu Nian, Zhang Jin, Tie Niu, Zhang Sheng, Wang Yang, and Lao Zhang entered the room together and sat down in a mess around a square table.
Zhang Jin confessed, so he dug in the hall, took out a jar of daughter red, and took the leftover cooked meat and some peanuts from the noon as snacks.
And they all ate and drank together.
