Chapter 14 is a bit of a surprise, but not much
Inside the house, the woman looked resentful, while Chen Guodong sat on the side, with a sad face.
The little boy looked at this scene at a loss, and at this moment, a figure appeared at the door, and he immediately ran up excitedly and hugged Chen Fan's thigh.
"Brother, you're back."
"Hmm."
Chen Fan smiled and touched his little head, then looked at his parents in the house, and asked curiously, "Dad, Mom, what's wrong?" I just heard you talking about the three words Lijiazhai outside? Could it be that the people of our stockade have a conflict with them? Has anyone been hurt? ”
"Don't worry, no one was hurt."
Chen Guodong shook his head.
"How can it be okay?"
The woman couldn't help but say: "The prey was snatched away by them, these people are simply robbers!" ”
"Okay, let's go over the past," Chen Guodong frowned, and gestured to the woman with his eyes, Xiao Chen is not sensible, Xiao Fan is different, let him listen, it is just to add to his troubles.
The woman opened her mouth, "Let's eat first." ”
Chen Fan frowned, and halfway through his words, no one could accept it.
Besides, it seems to be quite important.
"Dad, Mom, what's going on? I'm part of the stockade, aren't I? In addition, Mom, if you know everything, there should be a lot of people who know about it, I'll ask others later, isn't it the same? ”
The woman looked at Chen Guodong with some resentment, the latter hesitated for a few seconds, and finally sighed, "Okay, then I'll tell you, after listening, don't be impulsive." ”
After listening to his story, Chen Fan finally understood what was happening.
It turned out that my father had left the stockade with the hunting party, and had gone to check the traps everywhere, and had no gain, and when he saw the last trap, by chance, a wildebeest, which seemed to be frightened, galloped towards them.
This horse is nearly two meters tall and is famous for having a single horn on its head, making it the largest of the low-level beasts.
They were happy at first, and then they had to sigh, because the wildebeest in its heyday had no long-range attack means, and there was no way to do anything to each other.
When the wildebeest saw them, he was naturally very frightened, and changed directions, and as a result, he fell into the trap they had dug, which was like pie in the sky, and everyone's mouths were about to laugh.
However, Chen Guodong had a bad premonition, this wildebeest was obviously being chased, perhaps, those people were behind, just because of the slow speed, they were temporarily thrown away, and the prey must be taken out of the trap as soon as possible, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be extraneous branches.
It's a pity that when they were busy in the middle of their work, the people of Lijiazhai appeared, and the two sides quarreled, and the other party thought that this wildebeest was the first to be targeted by himself and others, and those who wanted to see it had a share, and of course the people in the village did not agree.
However, the people in Li Jiazhai gradually discovered that the number of people on the other side was not only a little small, but the Wei brothers didn't seem to be there? Fourteen against eight, almost twice as much.
So, Li Jiazhai directly wanted to take it all, refusing to leave any meat, in the past, the two sides were evenly matched, and they refused to back down.
But now that the Wei brothers are not there, and there are few people, if they really want to fight, and the other party still has archers, the only one who suffers is their own village, and in the end not only can they not get the prey, but they will also be wounded.
In this world, it is self-evident what it means to be injured.
Therefore, the people in the stockade could only watch the other party destroy the trap and leave with the prey, and before leaving, they were also angry with the yin and yang.
"That's the way it is, blame me." Chen Guodong sighed, this matter, he didn't plan to say it after he came back, it hit morale.
As a result, on the way back, some people in the team were very angry in their hearts and spoke out, so that many people knew.
People always need to vent, and he understands it.
"Dad, I think you're doing the right thing."
Chen Fan nodded, "If we had a conflict with them at that time, it would be best to lose both, almost, our side would be wiped out, and without you, the rest of the people in the village would not survive." ”
He sighed in his heart, in this world, not only to fight with fierce beasts but also with people, perhaps, people are more dangerous than fierce beasts.
Chen Guodong glanced at him with some surprise.
He also thought that Chen Fan would be very excited, shouting to find that group of people desperately.
The woman on the side also fell silent, she didn't understand this truth, but if she understood, she would understand, and she still had to scold, although it was useless.
"Okay, let's sit down and eat first, you've been practicing for a day."
Chen Fan nodded and took his younger brother to sit down around the dining table.
Dinner was still the same as yesterday, a bowl of gruel, a plate of sliced meat.
"Xiaofan, you eat more."
Chen Guodong picked up a few pieces of meat and wanted to put them in Chen Fan's bowl, but was stopped by the latter with chopsticks, "Dad, you can eat, I'll eat one or two pieces is enough, and then, I have one more thing to tell you." ”
Chen Guodong was stunned, this was the first time he saw his son's face, showing such a serious expression, and subconsciously withdrew his chopsticks, "What's the matter?" ”
"I think I'll go out hunting with the hunting party tomorrow."
"What?"
Chen Guodong and his wife exclaimed in surprise almost at the same time.
Then, the woman decisively said: "No! How old are you? Do you know how dangerous it is? What if something happens? ”
Chen Guodong glanced at his woman, nodded as well, and said, "Xiaofan, I understand that you want to contribute to the village, you have been practicing archery day and night for the past two days, but this has only been a few days?" Well, wait for another month or two of practice, and then go out with us. ”
The woman's lips moved, and she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
"Brother, don't go, okay? It's dangerous out there. The younger brother Chen Chen looked at Chen Fan with a blank eye, even such a young child knew what it meant to go out.
Chen Fan shook his head firmly, and said directly: "Dad, I naturally have the confidence to say this, when I finish eating, you go to the warehouse with me, and then you will understand everything." ”
Wait a month or two?
He really doubted that the stockade could hold out for so long?
Chen Guodong and the woman looked at each other.
Where did Xiaofan get his confidence? Say something like that? Could it be that he learned archery in just two or three days? But even if you learn it, it's just scratching the surface, right?
In the end, Chen Guodong still nodded, did he agree or not? It's never too late to decide after you've read it.
After the family finished dinner, Chen Fan took Chen Guodong to the direction of the warehouse, and the woman was not at ease, so she simply took Chen Chen with her, a family of four, and set out collectively.
When the lame man saw this scene, he showed a dumbfounded expression.
What's going on?
Isn't it archery practice?
Why do you bring so many people?
Chen Fan smiled at him and picked up a sixty-pound longbow on the side.
At this moment, Chen Guodong's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face showed a solemn expression.
If he remembers correctly, Xiao Fan practiced yesterday with the forty-pound bow, right? When did he change to sixty pounds?
If you say that you use a forty-pound bow to hunt low-level fierce beasts, it is still a bit hanging, sixty pounds is enough to shoot most low-level fierce beasts, even if it is some middle-level fierce beasts, it can be grinded to death.
He admitted that Chen Fan gave him a little surprise, but it was not enough.
