The sacrifice ended in a divine light.

The weather, which had been gloomy, suddenly turned clear, and everyone's mood seemed to clear up with the weather. Three sacrifices in one day, a sacrifice of this density has never taken place. The troublemaking that Mr. Guo and Mr. Zhang had been worried about did not happen. Although Han pawn came to stir up the situation, it was quickly brought under control and had little to no impact. Overall, the sacrifice was a success.

The divine soldiers did not return to the city, and after they lined up outside the city, they drove directly into the Great Wall. The three-passenger safety cart that transported the three animals was also pulled out at this time. Only then did the people who saw it realize that every person sitting in the car was a woman. The three lieutenants mounted their horses, escorted the cart, and returned to the girder with the divine soldiers. The City Lord's Mansion was empty.

Mr. Guo asked Mr. Meng Yu if he had not counted the cars given to the lieutenants? Mr. Meng Yu said: "How not to send it!" If you get the help of the middle officials with one multiplication, will you get less? Mr. Guo stopped talking. Mr. Meng Yu seems to have dealt with Zhongguan a lot, and he knows the situation very well, so it is better to leave it to Mr. Meng.

With the assistance of the guests, the City Lord's Mansion quickly restored its original layout and was ready for occupancy. Xinlingjun let Zheng Anping also live in the city lord's mansion, which can be regarded as a respect for their status.

Before the gates were closed, a caravan of wagons from within the Great Wall left the city and brought hunting nets.

Hunting will begin tomorrow.

Xinlingjun didn't embarrass the Han pawns, and asked Ming Huayangwei or Han Wangsun, Huayangxiang or Han Bushen, Xinlingjun asked him to return the weapons to Han pawns, telling them that Guanyi was just a group of villagers in the community sacrifice, and there was no other reason. Han Zu had no choice but to retreat in a loud voice.

It's night, and the moon is shining. The three animals that were killed were piled up outside the gate of the city lord's mansion, waiting for the butcher to be invited to open them, and now they can only watch.

After dinner, Xinling Jun invited the lord of the city and the heads of each family to him, and introduced to them the meaning of tomorrow's hunting: "Husband and hunter, guard also, guard his land." Therefore, all those who can fight, whether they are old or weak, women and children, should be the first, and men should still be brave. ”

Zhang Yu introduced the process of tomorrow's hunt: the men are responsible for driving the prey, and the women and children are on the side, shouting and cheering, and ensuring that the prey escapes forward and does not fall out of the range of the net, so that it is caught by the net.

Zheng Anping introduced the captain and the left and right gangs, assigned the teams of each family, and encouraged everyone to hunt animals bravely and make contributions tomorrow under the leadership of the gang leader.

The next day, Xinlingjun's doormen began to install nets. The area between the two rivers was naturally divided into two parts by the ruined city, and the doormen hung their nets on the city walls. The hunt was carried out in two stages: in the morning, the main part of the game in the east of the city was cleared, and the game was carried out from east to west; In the afternoon, the western part of the city was cleared, and the pursuit was pursued from west to east.

Although there were many disciples of Xinlingjun, they did not participate in the hunt, some stayed in the city, some stayed on the side of the river, and of course, some quietly disappeared......

And all the people of the city, both over ten years and under fifty years old, both men and women, were called out, crossed the bridge, and lined up at the east end of the river. Xin Lingjun and the driver Mr. Xiahou, Mr. Che Youcao and other three people led the car across the bridge, put the car in front of the queue, and the three stood on the car, watching everyone line up.

The line was lined up, and Brother Su asked Xinlingjun and waved his halberd. Xiao Si shouted: "The first one, on!" So a dozen or so men rushed out, and everyone else shouted loudly. It didn't take long to startle a rabbit. Little Four shouted, "Separate the sides!" Separate the sides! Then the dozen or so men withdrew on both sides.

Almost at the same time as the rabbit appeared, Mr. Xiahou flicked the reins, and the chariot quickly rushed out. When the bowstring sounded, the rabbit rolled over and fell. Everyone applauded! The ten men rushed up, picked up the rabbit, fell to death in a few blows, pulled out the arrow, and returned it to Xinlingjun. This team followed Shinling-kun's car and returned victoriously with its prey.

And then the second, and then the third...... Families are sent out to drive away their prey, and they always get rid of one or two rabbits or something. Xin Lingjun rushed out at this time, and often shot an arrow over.

After each family was driven away, after leading the prey back, Brother Su waved his halberd, and Brother Dog and Xiao Si immediately lined up the left and right groups into a line, and under the command of Brother Su, hundreds of people rushed out together; Not only did hundreds of men rush out together, but the women and children behind them also followed behind and shouted forward under the command of Brother Dog and Xiaosi. At this moment, the beasts in the entire meadow were startled in, and they desperately fled in the meadow. Xinlingjun quickly attacked, the bowstring sounded continuously, and the arrows of wild beasts continued to fall; But this time, the people in the Guanyi were about to be slaughtered, only a few stopped to harvest the prey, and the others drove the prey mercilessly, letting them run on the grassland. There were also constant screams from the women and children, and it was a wild beast running towards them, and they were screaming and blasting out. Everyone was immersed in this one-sided killing, unleashing their strength and physical strength to the fullest, and the despair of the prey being driven to the sky and the ground was even more aroused, and the hunter's passion was aroused, and they screamed louder and louder, shouting for a burst of killing. Most of the prey was caught in the nets, and a few fell under the hunters' sticks, and only a few were able to escape from the killing. Everyone slaughtered all the prey they could see with gusto, and almost every man had a catch.

This hunt was on a ten-mile-wide grassland, and it was pursued for twenty miles.

In the afternoon, the same hunt was repeated on the west side of the ruined city. The harvest in the afternoon was not as much as in the morning, and it may have been that the hunting movement of the upper animals was too great, and a group of prey from the west was taken away. But in any case, the gains are huge. When night falls, the moon rises, and a roaring bonfire is lit, each family has more than one prey of their own.

Xinlingjun entered the Guancheng, and the warriors had already gathered, put away the nets, and drove the car, and they were going to enter the Great Wall before the Guancheng.

The samurai walked out of the city and walked past the bonfires that had been raised around the family, each of which provoked heartfelt cheers. For the first time, the people of Guanyi experienced a hunt! They're celebrating their harvest!

Zheng Anping and the five others also left with the team. Their mission was successfully accomplished, and they will go home to celebrate the New Year until the next full moon day, when they will return to perform their duties.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, the troops of 400 men marched into the Great Wall and entered the Putian Station.

The smell of barbecue game in Guanyi seems to be still coming in bursts......

Zheng Anping was busy until the next night, when he returned home. Zhang Lu asked with great interest: "Xinling Jun's sacrifice, I actually feel that the sky is open, do you care?" ”

Zheng Anping said: "If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it." It's a long way off, but it's definitely nice to have a crack in the clouds! And the day after tomorrow, it will be clear. What is it? ”

Zhang Lu said: "The sacrifice is naturally a good omen. However, the king of Wei is afraid that it will be difficult to recover! ”

Zheng Anping said: "What does Mr. mean? ”

Zhang Lu said: "If the king of Xinling sacrifices to the heavens, and the king has no response, the king has no virtue? Zheng Anping thought about it, it seems that this is indeed the case. If the sacrifice of Xinling Jun is due, what about the King of Wei?

In the next few days, Zheng Anping went to Wei Gongzi's Mansion every day to answer errands, although there was nothing to do, but he was also familiar with the doorman and got acquainted with many Xinlingjun's doormen. Then I also went to visit my old superiors and colleagues who still had friends in the past. Although these old colleagues were very respectful in person, it could be seen that they were very unconvinced in their hearts. In the nearby township, pigs and sheep were slaughtered, and Zheng Anping also went to buy some pigs and mutton and came back. There are winemakers and vinegar brewers in the township, and Zheng Anping also goes to sell some wine and vinegar. The township wants to hold a village sacrifice, and Zheng Anping naturally prepared a sacrifice.

Although it seems that everything is going on lively, this year the atmosphere is different from usual, and this difference goes deep into the soul: he doesn't know where to belong! In the past, he was a military pawn, a post guard of Liang Xiyi, whether it was a military pawn or Liang Xiyi, there were New Year's celebration activities, they just had to participate, and at that time he knew that he was a member of this collective. But this year, things are different. He left the team of martial soldiers, Liang Xiyi has already stationed in the new station, he doesn't know which collective he should belong to?

He told Zhang Lu about his confusion. Zhang Lu said: "You are in charge of the order, and you should enjoy with the people." However, you leave the tube and return to the beam, which is like a wood from the original. ”

What Zhang Lu said was like a wood leaving the book, as if it was Zheng Anping's sore spot, he suddenly had a feeling of attachment to Guan Yi, and he couldn't wait to go back quickly!

The lieutenant came with the Wumen family. Zheng Anping saw that Wuwang's family was really honest villagers, and agreed to Fu Wuwang alone, Wu's father was overjoyed when he saw Zheng Anping agree, and said a lot of good things, the center is to say, although only Wuwang is alone, Wumen will listen to Zheng Gongzi's orders, and will never dare to disobey! Zheng Anping only nodded in thanks.

A few days after the matter was decided, Wuwang persisted and bowed to Zheng Anping under the witness of the villagers. Zheng Anping also solemnly returned the salute and established the relationship between Zheng Anping and Wuwang. The lieutenant also officially changed Wuwang's name to Zheng Anping's household. Wuwang was about to come over that day, but was stopped by Zheng Anping, and he asked Wuwang to spend the New Year with his family and move in again. The family was thankful and left.

It's finally Chinese New Year's Eve. From the morning, the villages are filled with sweet and solemn smells. Today, you can't cook porridge, and everyone steams the corn with a retort, which is the main part of dinner.

Zhang Lu is also steaming corn, and he has already steamed the three hairies. In the basket next to it are washed leaves. Zheng Anping said: "Mr. works hard, but one is enough, why have three!" ”

Zhang Lu said: "If you are in Donghongli, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it again." This year you can get a little more to do your best. Zheng Anping felt a little sad in his heart, so he simply sat down and watched Zhang Lu steaming millet beside him.

He had already prepared a portion of the meat and wine he had bought, and he would put the elders at the table at night when he was honoring the elderly.

Zheng Anping looked at it, and it was already dusk.
