Chapter 22: Grievances
The Wolong Village Hunting Team, led by Qi Tian, Hu Yan, and Xu Qing, has about 40 members.
The captain of the hunting team in Xihe Village is named Niu Zhi, a middle-aged man who is about the same as Sun Sheng, and the hunting team he led is about 30 members, and Dabin, who is close to Qi Tian, is also among them.
The captain of the Lijiatun hunting team is named Li Ning, a young man, and it is said that he is also the son of the village chief.
Because of the large population of Lijiatun, Li Ning led more members, about 100 people.
The captain of the Wanglouzhuang hunting team is named Wang Geng, a sixty-year-old man, who leads the hunting team with more than 20 members, which is the smallest number of the four hunting teams.
However, Wang Geng went to the battlefield when he was young, and it is said that he also participated in the war of destruction of Southern Chu with Emperor Xiao Yan of Tai'an, and his archery skills were superhuman.
The four major hunting teams gathered at the foot of the mountain, and the foot of the mountain was soon overcrowded, and several hunting captains also met at the same time.
"Yo, isn't this Li Ning kid? You're also here for this hunting tournament? With all due respect, with your archery skills, don't be ashamed of being conspicuous, right? After the old Wang Geng saw the young Li Ning, he couldn't help but joke.
Li Ning said with a smile: "Senior Wang Geng, the archery skills of the younger generation are not as high as your old man, but there are many people here in the younger generation!" ”
"There are more than 20 of you, each person has to shoot five prey, and our hunting team only needs to shoot one!"
Wang Geng snorted coldly: "Which is stronger and which is weak, let's know it as soon as we try." ”
The two were angry with each other, and they didn't pay attention to Niu Zhi and Hu Yan and others at all.
After all, among the four hunting teams, one of them has the strongest archery skills, one hunting team has the largest number of people, and the remaining two are mediocre and have nothing to fear......
There was no way, Niu Zhi had to stretch out his hand and said politely to Hu Yan:
"You're Wolong Village nonsense, aren't you? Yes, yes, he is really young and promising, much better than Sun Sheng's selfish bastard! ”
Because of the close distance between Wolong Village and Xihe Village, the two hunting teams often join forces to hunt in the back mountains, but Sun Sheng has more eyes, and Niu Zhi is a real person, so he is not less pitted by Sun Sheng.
Since the other party took the initiative to say hello, Hu Yan naturally greeted him with a smile: "Please rest assured, Captain Niu Zhi, from now on, our two hunting teams will cooperate sincerely and get rich together." ”
Niu Zhihan nodded with a smile and said, "That's necessary, by the way, who are you now the hunting captain of Wolong Village?" It's supposed to be you, right? ”
Hu Yan shook his head, pointed to Qi Tian and Xu Qing behind him respectively: "The hunting team was created by the three of us, although the captain was not selected, but it is okay to find any of the three of us, and we are all in charge of things." ”
Niu Zhi nodded thoughtfully; "Well, that's good, brothers together, and its benefits are gold...... By the way, let me introduce you, this is my vice-captain, Dabin. ”
As Niu Zhi introduced the words, Dabin, who was like a mountain, stepped forward.
Seeing him, Qi Tian, Hu Yan and Xu Qing were all not very good-looking.
Dabin, this kid, became the vice captain not long after joining the Xihe Village hunting team, and it seems that he is doing really well......
Niu Zhi naturally understood what was going on, he laughed and said: "Haha, I know your previous grievances, in my opinion, it was just a matter between children, a glass of wine in the past, just let it go with the wind." ”
This kind of thing is easy to say, Dabin wants to rob Qi Tian's daughter-in-law, can he say the past?
Therefore, even if Niu Zhi was in the middle, Dabin and Qi Tian still didn't care about anyone.
Dada-da.
There was a sound of horses' hooves, and it was the county commander Jia Gou who arrived in a carriage, in addition to Yue Qing and Pang Ru'an leading elite soldiers to escort them.
"Meet the prefectural commander."
Seeing Jia Gou's arrival, all the members of the hunting party saluted him one after another.
"Well, yes, very good."
Jia Gou smiled and nodded, and then got out of the carriage.
Surprisingly, after he got out of the carriage, another person got out of the carriage with him.
The man was a young man, dressed in a purple mink coat and an extravagant man.
It turned out to be Xiao Yu!
Seeing him, Qi Tian and Xu Qing were all surprised, but they were silently thinking about it, as if they were thinking about something.
Soon, Jia Gou walked onto the platform set up in advance and spoke:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this official held a hunting competition this time, in fact, so that the hunting teams of all villages in Macheng can unite as one, and from now on, the hunting teams of each village will no longer hunt separately, but concentrate their efforts and get rich together, isn't it beautiful?"
As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly roared and shouted:
"The prefectural commander is wise! The prefectural commander is wise! ”
For the hunters of the hunting team, there is nothing good about hunting together, of course, the more people the better, so that there is no need to be afraid of very dangerous beasts.
What's more, the tournament is not over yet, and the command of the hunting team and a hundred taels of gold tempt everyone's hearts.
Especially Li Ning and Wang Geng, who thought they could win, shouted the loudest.
After the speech of encouragement, Jia Gou pointed to Xiao Yu next to him and said:
"This is a young and promising rich man in our Macheng, named Xiao Yu."
"The one hundred taels of gold that the winner received this time was donated by Xiao Yu Gongzi, thank you Xiao Yu Gongzi."
"If there was no Xiao Yu Gongzi, there might not be this competition, why don't you thank Xiao Yu Gongzi?"
Hearing this, everyone was surprised, they didn't expect that this hunting competition was invested and held by such a young son.
Having said that, being able to sponsor hundreds of taels of gold at once is enough to show the strength of this Xiao Yu Gongzi.
Who doesn't want to cling to such a person, and who doesn't want to make friends?
So, the mountain roared and the tsunami of thanks sounded: "Thank you Xiao Yu Gongzi, thank you Xiao Yu Gongzi!" ”
In the face of such a scene, Xiao Yu was still as calm as ever, and Feng Ya still said: "I hope that you can work hard in this hunting competition, and you may need your help in the future." ”
The members of the hunting team shouted in unison again: "But if Xiao Yu Gongzi orders him, don't dare to disobey." ”
Immediately, the major hunting teams began to enter the back mountain and began to hunt separately......
Towards the end of the evening, the major hunting teams returned one after another, holding different amounts of prey in their hands.
Jia Wei ordered the specialists to start counting the weight of the prey of the major hunting teams.
That's right, because the beasts in the back mountains are different, and the gap between catching a rabbit and a wild boar is still very large, so the competition stipulates that the winner will be divided according to the total weight of the prey.
The first to come out was the Lijiatun hunting team, which captured a total of 203 prey, weighing a total of 400 catties.
Li Ning triumphantly questioned Wang Geng: "Haha, how is it?" How much is it, just ask you if it is more? Old thing, are you ready to follow my orders from now on? ”
Wang Geng didn't panic at all, and said: "Young man, you have to understand that sometimes, quantity is important, but quality is more important!" ”
