Chapter 44: The Village Girl Cao'er
On the grassland of East Meadow Village, a ring is really arranged, and the ring is very large, seven meters long and eight meters wide, only half a meter high, but this ring is not used for fighting, but for shooting.
It should be said that this ring is also the first time to be opened in Dongdian Village, and it is several firsts, such as the first time to run for the village head, the first time to shoot a bow, and the first time to award people.
In the middle of the ring, there is a bow frame, which holds a carved treasure bow, inlaid with gold and silver is very good-looking and gives people the feeling, it is also very precious, this is the ancestor of the Miao clan in East Meadow Village, Miao Yuan used the blade called Miao painting bow, it is said that Miao Yuan at that time, is also a general in the army, the natural divine power is very brave, especially good at shooting, the arms are a competition, and everything you see is under the arrow.
But the bow is used as a blade, inlaid with gold and silver, it is not necessary and is not used as an ornament, the reason why it has become like this is that there is only one explanation, that is, this bow has really become an ornament, since Miao Yuan, no one can fill this bow.
And there is one thing that is also very coincidental, there is no man after Miao Yuan, five generations of women in a row, although good at shooting, but with the power of women, it is not easy to pull such a fierce bow, not to mention women, men's strength is like Miao Yuan, so far there is no one.
It may also be that the village has limited contact with the outside world, anyway, there is no such person in the nearby ten miles and eight townships, at the beginning, the Miao family chose the condition of the son-in-law, that is, to pull the bow, but there is no way that the Miao family will become an old girl, the method of choosing a son-in-law with a full bow has not been implemented and has been abandoned, and it is even more regrettable that the fifth generation of the Miao family is called Miao Miaomei, who has been married for ten years and has not been pregnant.
So the fourth-generation head of the Miao family, named Ye Muchun, made a decision after careful consideration, opened a bow ring, and chose fate with a full bow, just at the rear edge of the ring, above the VIP seat, there was a beam, and ten big characters were written on the red silk wrapped in mahogany gold characters: The bow knows the hero, and the jade girl will always be with you.
Of course, this Ye Muchun is also a door-to-door son-in-law, and at the same time, he is also the patriarch of East Meadow Village, according to the meaning of this beam, it is impossible for her daughter to be married for more than ten years, and who else can be called a jade girl if she is not pregnant.
There is a red rope tied to the left arm of the Miao painting bow, and the other end of the red rope is tied to a girl's wrist, which is also a slim and good-looking girl, with a goose egg face, bent eyebrows, big eyes, red lips, white teeth, and dimples embedded in her cheeks, just giving the impression that this woman is not good at makeup, which should be rare in ancient times.
This girl is Miao Miaomei's adopted daughter, named Miao Cao, sixteen years old, and also a child of a poor family of the same female line, so the Miao family is very fond of the female shooter, so they adopted her and made a jasper liuhe bow for her.
Liuhe refers to the vessel of the six materials, the ancient name is the top grade bow, with dry, horn, tendon, glue, silk, lacquer, collectively called "six materials" The most important, the name deliberately emphasizes that of course, these six materials, are the top quality of the selected materials, how to be embarrassed to put in the name, and on the back of the bow of the Liuhe bow is also embedded with nephrite, suitable for hand, and also hope to be able to pass through human nature, make such a bow, it can be seen how much the Miao family attaches great importance to and pampered the Miao grass, as if they were their own children, and this Miao Cao is now the best person in the bow method of East Meadow Village, in addition to the strength, its accuracy is almost the same as the Miao Yuan.
It should be said that Miao Cao is such a woman, although the name is not too expensive, but it is also an important figure in East Meadow Village, to choose a son-in-law with a bow, is it a little too absurd, having the ability does not mean that the character is good, if there is a ruffian hooligan, or an old man in his seventies and eighties can draw the bow and hit a hundred shots, wouldn't it delay the girl, it's not impossible, like a monk like a character, I don't know whether I know how to bow or not, it doesn't matter as long as you have the ability, although this woman has it, you can be a wife and a slave, you are a woman, as long as you can shoot the bow with a Miao painting, the grass is yours Even she herself has no complaints。
There is no way to do it, all because of the chaos of the Eagle Owl Gate, Lang Xiao's eagle claw grappler, the kung fu is unrivaled, and he is brutal and takes people's heads, and he kills countless people without a knife, so he tears his head with his hand.
At the beginning, East Meadow Village was deeply affected, and the villagers and the government jointly organized several anti-bandit operations, all because of the mysterious whereabouts of the high forests of Jiuling Mountain, several actions were heavy losses, and the people of East Meadow Village were also killed and injured countless times, and there was no way, so the villagers had to admit defeat to the bandits and pay tribute.
But I didn't expect Lang Xiao's appetite to grow bigger and bigger, and he intensified his exploitation of the villagers, not only taking tribute but also wanting to rob people, he fell in love with the bow girl Miao Cao, who was already over forty years old and had to take Miao Cao to the mountain, to be his wife of the village, several times to ask the Miao family, but Ye Muchun refused to draw a bow with Miao, this is the rule of our Miao family, unless you can shoot with a full bow, otherwise my Miao family will never marry a girl.
But this kind of statement can only be maintained for a while, and it is okay to refuse a few times, and telling the bandits the rules is equivalent to persuading the wolf not to eat meat, that is, in recent days, Lang Xiao has given the East Meadow a deadline, and the seedlings will be sent to the mountain gate after three days, otherwise the village will be washed in blood.
There is no way Ye Muchun found the government to report again, but the government replied that as long as you can find the nest of the Eagle Owl Gate, you will also destroy it if you send troops and arrows, but it is impossible to send troops rashly, rest assured, we have reported the situation here to the above The bandits in Jiuling Mountain can only be destroyed in a few days, and after ten days, there are not only famous generals but also God Hunt Fan Xun, and cooperate to suppress the bandits, you might as well delay it for a few more days and wait for the God Hunt Famous General to arrive, and destroy the Eagle Owl Gate together.
Ye Muchun is still a little worried, do you have to wait for another ten days, but the time limit given by the bandits is three days, and I have already refused a few times, that Langxiao's brutality, is there anything to talk about, what a famous general, we are a famous general, and then it is just a matter of the Yuan Dynasty, but no matter what, as a famous general, we must not be restrained, we will find a way to set up a ring to choose a son-in-law with a full bow, or find a master who can exterminate the Eagle Owl Gate, I, the village head, should not be handed over to the capable to live, and since then there is no pressure of ancestral glory, this halo has been carried for too many years.
As for Miao Cao herself, as long as there is someone who can solve the crisis of her adoptive parents' family, as long as she solves the crisis of the whole village, no matter who can draw Miao Huagong, she is willing to follow her life to be a cow and a horse without complaints.
Therefore, this ring is not only to hold the beauty, but also shoulder the heavy responsibility of suppressing bandits, to lead the villagers to fight with the Eagle Owl Gate, but even if it is a knife on the head of the color word, there are countless people who are willing to do the ghost of the flower throughout the ages, it should be said that from the time of the morning to the beginning of the fight, until now it is not more than half, more than five hours on the stage to test the bow is countless, a Miao painting bow has been pulled by 100 people after a long time in the dust, but this bow, no one has been able to pull it full, set in a hundred steps away from the red heart, has been the dust and wind has not been dyed bright as blood.
Of course, there are all the spectators in the neighborhood, and almost all of them have been harmed by the Eagle Owl Gate, and these people are not only for beauty, if they can really exterminate the mountain bandits, it is the top priority, but among the many spectators, there are two of them whose purpose is the simplest, that is, the Jiang brothers who have just arrived.
Although the two brothers are not as light as Shan Xunfei and others, but they escaped, the two of them were also very serious and did not delay, so, the two of them actually arrived one step earlier, after asking the reason, of course they had to go to the stage to try what he was a bandit or not, who could manage it if he won the beauty to go away to the end of the world, so with this mentality, the two of them mixed in the crowd, and did not rush to the stage, first to see how difficult the bow is, seeing that many strong men have stepped down, the brothers are also a little hesitant, if this ring is too simple, why should people give away their adopted daughters。
Just when the Jiang brothers were hesitant and stunned, someone in the crowd rushed to the stage and asked: "May I ask the grass girl on the stage, if you have a family, can you still try it on stage." ”
At the back of the ring, Ye Muchun stood up and walked to Miao Cao's side, and replied loudly: "Regardless of whether there is a family or not, as long as you can shoot with a full bow, or you can defeat the Eagle Owl Gate, you are the benefactor of my Miao family. And I, the village chief of East Meadow Village, also let it to you, and the militia is also under your command and dispatch. ”
The people in the audience returned: "The evil of the Eagle Owl Gate should be eradicated as much as possible, but the reunion of the family is not a downright move. ”
The meaning of this is that the beauty doesn't have to go up to try the bow if she doesn't want it, and the first thing to bear the brunt of it is the leader, but there are nearly two hundred bandits, and since I have taken the lead, then what kind of militia group do you have, you should obey my command.
This doesn't mean that a fool doesn't want to let go of the living little beauty, but he just wants to risk death to take the lead, there are such stupid people in the world, everyone looked back one after another, and the Jiang brothers also followed the voice to look over, it turned out to be Shan Xunfei, ah, hehe, it came fast enough, it was really an enemy who was red-eyed when he met, not only his eyes were red and his face was red, but he was red and red, he could only watch, what should he do if his skills were not as good as others The brothers retreated again and again, and they didn't dare to breathe.
Without waiting for Ye Muchun to speak, Miao Cao looked at Concubine Shan Xun and took the initiative to ask: "May I ask the officials in the audience, is Xiancao not beautiful enough?" ”
Concubine Shan Xun shook her head: "No, the grass girl looks like a fairy, pure and icy, but it is just an east meadow, not a place where Shan has stayed for a long time." ”
Seeing that although the other party is middle-aged, he is also imposing, Miao Cao did not hesitate: "If it is a true hero, Cao'er is willing to follow the world." ”
Shan Xunfei shook her head again: "If it is a true hero, bandits and kinship are two different things, the so-called road is uneven and draw a knife to help, eradicate the evil internal affairs, in the next order to find a concubine, and a few friends travel here, if you can trust it, Shan is willing to lead the villagers to eradicate the bandits, and return the township to a harmonious and peaceful world." ”
Ye Muchun shook his head: "I haven't heard of who Concubine Shan Xun is, but this hero, if you really want to solve the worries of the village, pull open this Miao painting bow, don't just rely on one mouth, just let me believe you." ”
Shan Xunfei smiled: "Hehe, there is still a ring in a place where there are no rivers and lakes, I don't know that my Shan Xunfei relies on a mouth, you can pull the bow on stage, you remove the red rope, Shan is willing to try hard." ”
