Chapter 17: The Spring Hunt
Winter goes to spring, time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it had been more than a year since Huang Wudao came to this world, and his cultivation had once again returned to the ninth level of the Gathering Spirit Realm, that is, the ninth level of the Qi refining period of ordinary monks.
He still vividly remembers that the first time he came to this world was spring, and now it is spring again.
Thinking of his various experiences in the past year, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
"Brother Wangcai, it's time to eat!" a loud voice sounded in the courtyard.
you, you're a prosperous family!
In the wooden house, the absurd Wudao, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes, and a few green tendons protruded on his forehead.
This palace is really wonderful, there is such a person of unknown origin in the mansion, and he does not investigate his origin, let alone ask him what his surname is.
That's it, but what is the reason for giving him a prosperous name on his own initiative?
Lao Tzu recruited you to provoke you, dug your ancestral grave?
Huang Wudao felt that this matter must be the little county lord's secret troublemaker, otherwise ordinary people would not be so boring.
When the door was opened, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy was standing in the doorway, about to push the door in.
"Ergouzi, how many times has my brother told you? You want to call me Brother Dao, don't call me Wangcai!"
"Brother Wangcai still sounds smooth......," Ergouzi rubbed his ass with an aggrieved face and muttered.
"What did you kid say?" said Aramad glare.
"Wang...... Brother Dao, I, I didn't say anything! Well, let's hurry up and eat, or we will run out of food later......" Ergouzi hurriedly jumped away, turned his head and ran out.
"You know how to eat all day long, can you pursue it a little?"
These two dogs are one of the horse servants in the small courtyard next door, it stands to reason that raising horses is also a technical job, and the horses of this era are very expensive, especially the palace is still a war horse.
Therefore, horse servants are generally about thirty or forty years old, and most of them are disabled veterans who have retired from the cavalry, and they are more experienced, so that they can better serve the war horses.
However, the absurdity is naturally a special case.
And besides him, among the horse servants were the two youngest dogs.
According to Ergouzi himself, because one of the little stewards of the palace was his distant relative, he could get such a job, after all, the treatment of horse servants was much better than that of other miscellaneous servants.
Peers are always better at communicating, so they quickly became familiar with each other.
In his previous life, he was a fun-loving and troublesome character, so he accepted the second dog as his younger brother with righteous words, and when he was free, he was one more person who could be funny.
This little guy is usually only wild and unreasonable, but it is much more worry-free than the unruly little county lord.
The courtyard on the far left side of the palace is the location of the dormitory, and it is also the place where the servants eat.
The servant was the best of the servants, with a separate room for eating, followed by the miscellaneous servants, who could only squat or stand in the courtyard and eat in the open air.
As for the eye-catching little maid?
That can't be seen here, they generally stay in the inner courtyard, serving the royal family, and they will not appear in the outer courtyard easily, and their meals are naturally in the inner courtyard.
The outer courtyard is mostly filled with some rough hands and feet, doing some pulp and washing work.
"Brother Wangcai, I have a broth to drink today...... Ergouzi has already taken the first step, stuffing cooking cakes in his mouth, holding a few cakes in his hand, holding a pottery bowl in his other hand, muttering vaguely at the absurdity who walked into the wing.
"I can't stop you when I eat!" said Aramad glared at him.
He has compromised, so be prosperous!
Let you breeze the mountain hill, brother sits on the Diaoyutai steadily, and does not care about your general.
At a casual glance, the wing room was already full of twenty or thirty people, and almost all the horse servants in the palace.
Aramadi walked straight to the large wooden barrel containing the food and took a turn.
Rice cakes and corn rice, with a large vat of pickled wild vegetables and broth, today's meal is pretty good.
Then he directly picked up the broth with the remaining half bucket and the bucket, walked straight to the long table, and put it on with a bang.
Then he turned around, picked up a dozen cooking cakes, filled a large pot of corn, turned back to the table and sat down, and devoured it as if no one was around.
However, the people around him seemed to be accustomed to it, and just looked at him a few times, but no one said anything.
"Brother Wangcai, you do this every time, and you don't leave a little ...... for everyone" The second dog rubbed in front of the barren road, staring at the broth in the barrel.
"So I'm the last one to come every time I eat!" "Huang Wudao glanced at Ergouzi, "You don't have enough bowls?"
"Uh-huh!" the second dog nodded hurriedly.
"That's not your share......
"Oh!" the second dog reluctantly moved to the side.
"I'm kidding you! Look at your cowardice......" Huang Wudao was amused by the expression of the second dog, and scooped a bowl of broth for him.
At the same time, Steward Liu, who was in charge of the king's horse feeding, walked in, and several elderly horse servants hurriedly greeted him.
"Steward Liu, do you have anything to do today...... one of the servants asked, looking respectful.
"It's not a big deal...... It's just that there are still more than ten days before the spring hunt, come and take a look!" "This Liu Steward is a kind lord, and there is no superiority between his words, and his popularity in the house is not bad on weekdays.
"This year's spring hunt is different from previous years, when the little son of Tanglin Jun will come to meet the king of the county, I hope you will be more attentive when feeding the horses in recent days, don't make a mistake then!"
"That's natural, please rest assured that Steward Liu......" The older horse servants nodded in agreement.
"Hmm!" Steward Liu nodded, "That's right! Pick a few capable horse servants to follow during the spring hunt for the nobles to dispatch!"
Speaking of this, Steward Liu glanced in the direction of the desolate road, but the latter was gobbling it up and didn't pay attention to it.
"Little people know ......"
After Steward Liu left, led by the elderly horse servants, everyone discussed, and finally selected eight horse servants to participate in the spring hunt.
However, it is worth pondering that the absurdity was also chosen.
Except for him, the rest of the people were all experienced veterans, and the eldest horse servants were even in battle.
But none of the rest of the people raised any objections, and as for the absurdity himself, it naturally didn't matter.
"Brother Wangcai, I want to go to ...... too" On the way back to the courtyard, Ergouzi said with envy.
"I want to go and tell the steward myself, don't talk in front of my brother!" replied to him angrily.
"Forget it...... "The second dog suddenly froze.
After driving the two dogs back, the wilderness returned to his small yard.
After finishing his own work, he continued to cultivate.
If nothing else, in two months at most, the wilderness will be able to successfully build the foundation and enter the Guiyuan realm.
At that time, it was also the time when he left the county palace and broke into the cultivation realm.
I don't know what kind of opportunities will arise then.
