The aunt asked the family to fetch a bucket of water in the well, and the two began to boil the water and make medicine.

When the water was boiled and still hot, the family began to carefully pour the medicine into the pot.

The aunt saw that the family was stingy, and slapped the back of his hand, and the tea lid rolled off the pot.

The family said in a hurry: "Alas~ The master has ordered, this tea cover must be returned to the master after pouring, and he will make a cup of tea to drink after dipping the medicine foam on the teacup."

The aunt said with a look of disdain: "Didn't you accidentally fall into the pot!" I opened it and gave the medicine to the sick maid. ”

The maids and servants of the Zhang family were very excited when they heard that there was a medicine that could cure the plague, and in an instant the Zhang family was like a fried chicken pen.

Originally, good people all became holding their headaches and shouting: "My head hurts so much~ I need a bowl of medicine." ”

Some said that they vomited and diarrhea, their heads were hot, and they needed a bowl of medicine.

Fortunately, the fat aunt boiled a big pot and shared a small cup with one person, which calmed down the gang.

…

Xu Hong still took the advice provided by Lin Yuan and decided to ask the garrison for help.

On the official road, a thin old man drove a donkey cart to Guide Qianhu.

Why is it an old man, mainly Lin Yuan suggested to Xu Hong.

The White Lotus Sect will definitely block it on the way to Qianhusuo, and if you rashly send one or two small soldiers to ask for help, you will be intercepted and killed, not to mention, and it will also startle the snake.

At first, Xu Hong didn't believe it, but Xu Hong asked the post and found out that the official documents exchanged recently were often robbed, and the post guard was missing.

Yi Cheng was afraid of Xu Hong's punishment, so he didn't dare to report it, and Yi Cheng was called by Xu Hong to think that the matter had been discovered, and when he saw Xu Hong, he asked for guilt.

Xu Hong was glared at by the angry blowing beard, Mizhi County is now like a rag pocket, but the people under him are getting by.

Following

Lin Yuan is improving the bow in the county office, and if he wants to take down the Wang family in the city, it must be encircled and suppressed, and the long-distance bow and arrow suppression is something that Lin Yuan can quickly make.

Looking at the pulley bow made by the iron ox in front of him, Lin Yuan couldn't help but praise: "Uncle Niu is a good craft." ”

The hammer was also found by Xu Hong, one was to create a bow and arrow for Lin Yuan, and the other was to ask Lin Yuan's identity, Xu Hong had no suspicion under the interrogation, so he asked the hammer to help Lin Yuan.

Tie Niu scratched his head and wondered, "Can this bow become powerful with two wheels?" ”

Lin Yuan: "That's natural, although the rate of fire of this pulley bow is slow, but the range, power, and durability cannot be compared with ordinary bows and arrows." ”

Tie Niu tried it when he heard Lin Yuan say this, only to see him pull hard, as if he was riveting enough to pull halfway and let go.

Tie Niu wondered, "Why do I feel the same as before the transformation?" ”

Lin Yuan took the bow and began to explain to Tie Niu:

"It's certain that this pulley bow saves effort, but it saves effort when it's full, and this bow can't be left empty."

Tie Niu took the bow back suspiciously, riveted it and pulled it vigorously, only to see him pull the bow full and stop, and his face leaked with joy.

Iron Bull: "Good thing! This is what the fairy old man taught you? ”

Lin Yuan was also speechless when he heard Tie Niu entangled with the question of the fairy old man again.

After all, if you say too much, you will lose, and the more lies you throw out, the more lies you will need to fill the pit in the future.

So Lin Yuan changed the topic and said: "Don't worry if the old man taught it, the top priority now should be to save the hammer." ”

Saying that, Lin Yuan wanted to take the bow and go to Xu Qiang.

"Boy Lin, you really made that bow with wheels"

Xu Qiang's voice came from outside the door, and Xu Qiang walked in and saw the hammerman's bow and was also curious.

Xu Qiang took the bow and looked it up and down, and pulled the bow with a full hand.

Lin Yuan was also surprised, the ancients had great strength, and he had read historical novels before.

I didn't expect the strength to be so great, and I pulled the bow with a pull.

Xu Hong happily led Lin Yuan and the hammer to the small school yard of the county government.

There was no one in the school yard, and now the officials and Xu Hong's family members were all sent to monitor the White Lotus Sect.

Walking to the school grounds, Xu Hong picked a handle of 200 steps, bent his bow and arrows, and released the sight after a little aiming.

I saw the wind whistling towards the target.

Xu Qiang's archery skills were very good, and the arrow flew towards the bullseye impartially.

The arrow not only hits the bull's-eye, but also passes through the target.

"That's a lot of force."

Xu Hong said loudly, he is also a person who has practiced martial arts for many years, Xu Hong is an official in various places, Xu Qiang has also seen a lot of good weapons with Xu Hong, and today this strange bow is the only one he has seen in his life.

"How do you think this bow is different from the bow you use every day?"

Lin Yuan looked at Xu Qiang, who was surprised, and said.

Xu Qiang: "This bow is very powerful, very sharp, this arrow penetrates the bull's-eye, and I feel that it can be farther away." ”

Xu Qiang said that he took Lin Yuan and Tie Niu to retreat, the school field was not big, and Xu Qiang stopped only after retreating to the foot of the wall.

In this way, it was shot from one side of the school field to the other, almost three hundred paces.

Xu Qiang is also good at archery, and the unfamiliar bow is also in the bull's-eye in his hand, and he also wants to challenge himself under excitement.

If he had been placed in the past, it would have been impossible for him to challenge such a far arrow target, because the previous bow was full of bows, and the arrow Xu Qiang had just shot was the maximum distance.

Xu Qiang calmed down, closed his eyes for a while, and then took another arrow, this time he took a longer time to aim.

"Huh"

The white feather arrow flew towards the target again, passing through the target in the middle.

The distance of three hundred steps made Lin Yuan puzzled, did he shoot?

Xu Qiang laughed out loud, and he should feel that he was possessed by Hou Yi.

Lin Yuanjian, Xu Qiang's reaction was also clear, and this arrow was very accurate.

The terrain of the Wang family Lin Yuan had been studied in advance, and it was on the roof of the inn where they had lived before that it was an excellent location for arranging archers.

The Ming Dynasty's bows and arrows generally had a range of 200 paces, and with Xu Qiang's group of family members arranged on the roof, the Wang family's bows and arrows could not touch the inn, and Xu Qiang They could easily shoot the people who ran out of the Wang family.

Of course, Lin Yuan not only improved the bow and arrow, but also increased the rate of fire for the birdman.

The Ming Dynasty's bird gun was an arquebus, which needed to be filled with gunpowder and compacted with ammunition.

One of the areas that can be improved is to fill the gunpowder and divide the gunpowder into small packets with paper, so as to avoid pouring more or less gunpowder in a hurry, resulting in the explosion or projectile not far, and the speed is also much faster.

As for the three-row round shooting, don't think about the tactic of lining up to shoot, Xu Hong only has more than 20 bird guns, and the bird guns at this time have no accurate head, and the deterrent effect is far greater than the lethality.

A good archer has no problem shooting seven or eight arrows in five seconds.

If you don't take into account the distance battle, the bird gunner has not yet reloaded his ammunition, and his body has already been pierced by the archer with more than a dozen arrows.

Xu Qiang is such an excellent archer, and now he has a sharp weapon such as a pulley bow, make a few more of them, and the loss of the encirclement and suppression of the Wang family on his side can be minimized.

While the three of them were happily discussing the subtlety of the bow, a servant hurried out of the schoolyard.

"Something happened to the Zhang family, the Zhang family died in a house this morning, and the county asked you to go and see the situation."

A servant shouted as he ran toward the schoolyard.

"Has the White Lotus Sect done it?"

Xu Qiang looked at the official who came and asked.

Officer: "My subordinates don't know. ”

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "It should be them, Uncle Niu, you hurry up and make a few more bows, and Xu Qiang and I will go and have a look." ”

Tie Niu patted his chest and said confidently: "You guys go, leave it to me here." ”

……

In front of Zhang's house

The bodies of seventy-four members of the Zhang family were placed in front of the door, and Zhang Yi knelt decadently beside the corpses of his parents, with words in his mouth, not knowing what he was saying.

Xu Hong, who was in the distance, listened to the head-catcher report on the situation.

Xu Hong and a group of officials were some distance away from the front of Zhang's house, because they all knew that their family was infected with the plague, and no one dared to investigate.

"The Zhang family sent food to shout inside this morning, and no one answered after shouting for a long time, so they sent two family members to check in only to find that there was no one alive inside. It was the two family members next to Zhang Ergongzi, and their bodies were also moved out by them. ”

The head catcher pointed to the two family members while talking to Xu Hong about the situation.

Xu Hong frowned, and secretly said in his heart, "It wasn't the White Lotus Sect that did it, what is their intention?" ”

According to Lin Yuan's analysis, the White Lotus Sect has become bigger, and it is the time for them to have nothing to fear.

The old man who went to the Qianhu House to deliver the letter was also well prepared, and even the official document asking for help was hidden in the wheel, and a small worn-out wooden board was nailed to the wheel.

When others saw it, they would only think that it was old wheels, broken wood used to reinforce.

It seems that this also alarmed the White Lotus Sect?

Thinking like this, Xu Hong asked Xu Qiang again: "Maybe you can see the cause of death?" ”

The catcher glanced at the corpse in the distance again, and then said:

"The subordinates have seen it closer, there are no wounds, no bloodstains, and the plague cannot die so quickly, it seems that the subordinates have been poisoned."

After hearing this, Xu Hong began to brush his beard again, and this time the smart beard didn't seem to tell him anything, because the only one in the city who could act so rampant was the White Lotus Sect.

Xu Honggang brushed his beard once, and a servant ran up quickly, shouting as he ran:

"This morning, the people in the city were making a fuss, saying that the county government was afraid that the plague would spread, so they poisoned the Zhang family."

The official ran as he spoke, and had already run in front of Xu Hong.

The official took a few breaths, then approached Xu Hong and whispered, "And..."

The official only said yes, and a small sharp knife stretched out from his sleeve and stabbed Xu Hong's heart.

Before, he ran in a hurry, and everyone thought that he was running too fast, and his sleeves ran away to cover his hands.

The nearest head catcher didn't react, and it was too late to step forward to stop it.

The officer's knife stabbed into Xu Hong's heart, and Xu Hong was directly knocked to the ground by the impact.

The officer's knife was still in his hand, he shouldn't have grabbed the knife when he stabbed Xu Hong, the knife stabbed Xu Hong's body, and his hand slipped forward, his right hand had already grasped the blade, blood splashed, and his tail fingers flew out.

This knife is also not well designed, and the general knife has a knife grid called a knife head, which prevents the hand from slipping forward when stabbing someone.

Although Xu Hong was stabbed to the ground, the official still did not give up, changed the knife to his left hand, jumped up and stabbed Xu Hong's head.
