56 The Defense of Chenjiazhuang (2)
Huang Chang crossed his arms, walking around the wall like a coach, and said a word or two of encouragement from time to time.
"Good shot. ”
"Oh, almost, it's a pity. But it doesn't matter, we have thousands of rockets ready for them to 'enjoy'. ”
When he walked up to a certain young cousin, the child was obviously still a little nervous, and he didn't even shoot a few arrows, and seeing that the walking corpse he was aiming at was gradually approaching, he suddenly turned around and asked nervously:
"Cousin Chang, can those things climb the wall?"
Huang Chang looked at him, smiled, nodded and said:
"Yes, it's just that they're slow to climb walls, and you just have to throw a torch at their heads...... Hulala, it will be up in one fell swoop, and it is easier than archery. ”
"Oh, that's right. ”
The boy was immediately relieved, and his courage rose, and the next arrow finally hit the target. He cheered and looked at Huang Chang, but the latter just smiled and moved on to the next one.
At this moment, everyone on the wall has completely settled down, and everyone is concentrated, as if they usually practice archery, and they are not in a hurry to shoot slowly towards the walking corpse target below - walking slowly, and not knowing how to dodge, it is really the most suitable living target.
Huang Chang saw that his uncle Chen Fei and cousin Chen Rui, including Chen Fei, were all concentrating at this time, shooting arrow by arrow. Even his eldest brother Huang Yang, a standard scholar in Pingsuli, is shooting angrily, and his archery skills are actually not bad, with an average of two or three arrows hitting one, which is stronger than most people here.
"Yes, big brother, I didn't know you still had this ability?"
Huang Chang was quite surprised, the two brothers used to be very close, and Huang Yang must not have practiced bows and arrows at that time. After Huang Chang returned home, he was mainly busy training the fourth and fifth children, while Huang Yang was mostly helping his father deal with the affairs of the county government, leaving early and returning late every day, so there was less contact.
For his brother's admiration, Huang Yang's face showed pride:
"The six arts of a gentleman, archery is also one of them-I won your sister-in-law's heart with this skill. ”
Huang Chang laughed, sister-in-law Xue's background is considered a big family, at least higher than the Huang family's family, which is not quite in line with the local practice of "high marriage and low marriage", just because of the more exaggerated comparison of Huang's father, everyone said that Huang Yang learned his father's skills, but it didn't cause too much discussion.
However, to be able to break the routine and hold the beauty, Huang Yang finally has his ability - this is the time to show it. His calm and calm attitude made even Huang Chang secretly admire - it's a pity that the boss has no spiritual root talent on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is too old. Otherwise, if you follow him to practice martial arts, your progress may be faster than Huang Xu.
The key is that he has a calm heart and is not as jumpy as the fourth child, after all, he suffered with his family when he was a child. And Huang Xu's family situation has improved when he remembers, although he can't be said to be a gentleman, but he has not been tempered by life after all.
As for Huang Zhao, as the youngest child in the family, she is the most favored even when the conditions are not good, not to mention that the family situation has improved later, and the family love and material conditions she enjoys are improving, but now she seems to be a little spoiled......
What do you want - Huang Chang was thinking about this, but suddenly heard Huang Zhao's call:
"Eh, third brother, third brother, why can't I shoot all the time!"
- Female dependents are usually hidden behind, but since Huang Zhao said that she wants to be a chivalrous woman, it will inevitably deal with these gods and demons in the future, so Huang Chang also took her to the wall. This girl behaved well, better than Huang Chang expected, at least she was scared out of sight when she didn't see those living corpses. When everyone was shooting, she could pick up a bow and follow a wave.
It's just that Huang Chang smiled when he saw her archery - the little girl hasn't grown yet, she's short, her arms are short, she can't pull the bow, and she is naturally soft and weak when she shoots out. Even if it barely ejaculated, it was completely unaccurate.
"You, don't waste your arrows, stay on the edge of the wall, and throw your torch when you see anyone approaching, and the chance of hitting it is a little higher. ”
Huang Zhao pursed his lips, but he also knew that what his brother said was right, so he simply took the bow and followed Huang Chang's side. Huang Chang didn't care, still patrolling back and forth on the wall.
When he walked to a corner again, he suddenly saw his brother-in-law Feng Ziming lying on the guardrail, trembling all over his body, Huang Chang was stunned for a moment, walked up and asked:
"Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?"
But there was Huang's father's voice next to him, which was very low and painful:
Ziming remembered that when he was a child, the village where their family was located was destroyed by such a corpse tide demon disaster. Most of his family, relatives and friends, were devoured by these monsters. His father was frightened and died, and he also had a disease in his heart, which he could never get rid of. ”
Huang Chang nodded, he had heard Feng Ziming's affairs from his parents in general, but it was not very detailed. However, when I chatted with the old Taoist of Xuanyang Guanlou, I inadvertently talked about it - unlike these low-level walking corpses that were artificially summoned in front of me, the zombies that have really become the type are actually very powerful, extremely powerful and thick-skinned, invulnerable, invulnerable to fire and water, and innate martial artists may not be their opponents. If the monks didn't stop it in time, a single zombie would be enough to destroy a village.
The "corpse tide" disaster was of this type: a group of tomb robbers opened a thousand-year-old tomb, thinking that they could make a fortune, but it turned out to be a group of white-haired old zombies released from inside...... Although it is not a pity for them to die, they have also been unlucky to affect several surrounding villages.
At that time, this incident caused a lot of trouble in the whole country. Later, an army was sent from Baonan City, and the immortal cultivators of the Ji family came out to suppress it. Lou Lao Dao also participated in this battle at that time, and when he mentioned the tragic scene of those villages that were poisoned, even the well-informed Lou Lao Dao sighed.
Feng Ziming was traumatized at that time, leaving some kind of hidden danger in his spirit, although he usually behaves normally, but when he sees the corpse, the grave ...... Or something else related to the concept of "death" can get out of hand. So he never participated in any funerals when he was in the Huang family, and he didn't even dare to sweep the graves of his family - although he wanted to, he could only sacrifice at home every year, and he didn't dare to set up a spirit card, so he could only light a few incense sticks and pray, but it was also quite helpless.
"Why don't you go back and rest first, brother-in-law?"
Seeing Feng Ziming's teeth clucking, his face pale, and his very painful appearance, Huang Chang couldn't help but suggest. Father Huang next to him also said the same, but Feng Ziming himself shook his head resolutely:
"No, I want to see it! I want to ...... Looking at ...... These things...... How...... ruined!"
