Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 19
  Brother Yun is a mature young man. He is the same age as the boys in the village, fifteen or sixteen, but he has been working for a living since early in his life and is already able to stand alone.

Zhao Zhen stepped forward to say a few words of encouragement and asked questions, and Brother Yun responded to them one by one. Asked about Dad Qiao, Brother Yun said happily: "I can live in the village without worrying about anything. I have settled down and feel much better. I am still walking in the village today."

After chatting for a while, Zhao Zhen left after seeing that Brother Yun was still giving instructions to the banker from time to time.

Back at the village, Zhao Zhen thought of Li Xiaoer, Li Gu, Brother Yun, and Zhang Dachu who had just arrived and had nothing to offer. Zhao Yuanli was asked to take out 13 pieces of fine cloth and give them to the eight stewards of the village. Sun Zheng was instructed by the village school to send one piece to each of them. Five tenant households and three little beggars also received food and clothing as gifts.

At Youshi, Guanghui and his party returned to the village. Zhao Zhen came to the Dongkua Courtyard and took a look. To his surprise, he brought back two fat rabbits. When they went out, the four of them did not bring their crossbows.

When asked, Guanghui pointed to one of them and said: "This is a silly rabbit. Seeing me waiting, this rabbit turned around and ran down the mountain. Brother Jiao Ting chased after two steps. Hey, this silly rabbit actually fell. On the ground, he was stepped on by Brother Jiao Ting."

"This was hunted by the Han Bolong brothers. It only hit the head with a stone, killing him on the spot."

"Brother Han Bolong, there are two rabbits missing, why don't you kill a few more?" Zhao Zhen asked.

Han Bolong touched his nose and said, "Hey, I'm just a blind cat who has stumbled into a dead mouse. I can't take it seriously."

"Hahaha, no wonder you refused to take action when I asked you to hit two more." Guanghui laughed.

Everyone laughed and went back to their rooms to change their clothes. Zhao Zhen ordered the rabbit to be sent to the kitchen for treatment.

As soon as I sat down at the table, I exchanged cups and cups, talking about hunting in the afternoon, and kept laughing to myself. Guang Hui said, "It's a pity that Zhao Zhen didn't go there. There were a lot of prey on the hill."

Zhao Zhen said: "In that case, let's go together tomorrow." After a while, Li Xiaoer brought a large plate, steaming hot. The two rabbits were skinned, gutted, washed, cut into large pieces, and boiled. Taking advantage of the heat, each of the four heroes reached out to grab it.

Big bowl of wine, big mouthful of meat, so happy. At the moment, Li Xiaoer had a few drinks with him and left first. The four big-bellied men drank the meat on the plate and left happily.

The next day, Zhao Zhen followed Guang Hui to practice Arhat boxing all the way. After having breakfast, he packed up and went straight to Gangzi.

This kind of hunting is also very particular. "Zuo Zhuan" says: Therefore, hunting in spring, hunting in summer, hunting in autumn, and hunting in winter are all done during the breaks between farmers.

Spring search, because spring is the breeding season, you cannot harm baby animals and pregnant animals. Search and hunt unpregnant beasts.

Xia Miao, hunting in summer should hunt wild beasts that damage crops and protect crops from animals.

Qiuyi, autumn, protects livestock from wild beasts and reduces losses. It is necessary to hunt animals that can harm poultry.

Hunting in winter, when animals are most plump and have thick fur, can be hunted.

Now is the time to hunt mountain hares and pheasants. After a while, everyone rode to the hill and asked a nursing home to take care of the horses and graze them on the hill on the east side. The rest of them each took their swords, guns and sticks, and went up to the west side of the hill. The men were driven from three directions: south, west and north, leaving only the valley on the east side. Zhao Zhen held a snake bone bow, and Guang Hui, Jiao Ting and Han Bolong each held a Sichuan crossbow. They ambush here without making a sound. Just waiting for the prey to be driven over. In the distance, he heard Zhuang Ding roaring loudly and hitting the trees with sticks, and vaguely heard the crow of the chicken. Zhao Zhen put on the arrow, drew the bow full, looked at it kindly, and shot only one arrow in the forest. . While watching, I saw a flying pheasant in the middle, which fell straight down. Everyone cheered and raised their bows and crossbows to shoot, and arrows flew like rain.

All kinds of prey were scurrying here and there, and chickens and dogs were jumping for a while. Zhao Zhen shot all the arrows in a pot, and the rabbits and pheasants disappeared. The nursing staff slowly gathered around, each carrying several chickens and rabbits. After checking, we found 11 hares and 6 pheasants.

Seeing the harvest, everyone couldn't help but feel happy. After resting for a while, we drove the horse to the west side of Gangzi. After getting ready, we drove from east to west and shot 8 hares and 9 pheasants.

On the way, he saw a white fox running by. Zhao Zhen shouted not to hurt it and let it pass. Do you know why Zhao Zhen refused to shoot this white fox?

Fox fur changes once a year and begins to shed in spring, with the least fur in summer. The hair begins to grow in early autumn, and the hair on the whole body is thickest in winter, and the fur is at its best at this time.

Therefore, when Zhao Zhen saw this rare white-furred fox, he let it go and planned to hunt again in winter. There are no ferocious beasts like tigers and wolves in Gangzi here, and the fox is the overlord of the mountains here. Not that it was eaten.

Everyone looked at the two piles of prey in front of them and couldn't help laughing. They looked at each other and laughed.

The weather was hot, and the people did not rest for fear that they would not be able to keep the prey, so they gathered up all the prey and loaded it on their horses. Everyone led the horses and rushed to the village.

After returning to the manor, they sent the prey to the kitchen and everyone took a rest. Zhao Zhen asked Zhao Yuanli to ask Sun Zheng for advice today. Blacksmith Zhang Da and his apprentice Zhang Er, bone carver Li Gu, Yun Ge and his son, Li Xiaoer and his wife all came to the village to have a big banquet today. It can be regarded as a formal cleansing, and it also reflects Zhao Zhen's attention. Secondly, I hunted many chickens and rabbits, which can be used at the banquet.

The village stewards Zhao Yuanli, Ding Chou, Tang Tian, ​​Zhu Sha, Li You, Chao Cuo, Tang Sen and Zhao Ji all came to accompany him.

Everyone arrived at the village early and chatted with each other. Guanghui and the three of them were still talking about the affairs in the world, and they didn't realize that the red sun was setting in the west. Desserts, vegetables, fruits, fish, meat, hares, pheasants, etc., all arranged in scarlet dishes, were placed on the table and carried in front of everyone.

Zhao Zhen raised his glass, drank it three times, sat down and shouted: "Thank you all brothers for gathering in Xixi Village. Please prepare some food and wine to express your gratitude. From now on, you will need to worry more about things in the village."

Everyone stood up to express their gratitude to the owner of the village for taking him in, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves for a while. After eating five or seven glasses of wine, Jiao Ting shouted: "It's not smooth, let's get a bigger bowl." The three-chip hero changed the glasses and just sifted the wine out of the big bowl to eat. More than a dozen villagers and several supervisors took turns holding the lamps, serving and urging people to drink, drinking and drinking, and it became more and more lively.

Seeing how late it is, light up the candles. The three-chip hero was half drunk after eating, so he started fighting in the east courtyard. Everyone clapped their hands and applauded.

It is said that Jiao Ting enjoyed his meal today, and his interest became even higher. Under Guang Hui's encouragement, he practiced the thirty-six ways of capturing the dragon. But see: punch the tiger in Nanshan and kick the black dragon in Beihai.

  Jiao Ting, Han Bolong returns to his heart, luck +5
  Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Jiao Ting, you can't do sumo wrestling alone. It's better to teach a few apprentices to sumo wrestling, and it will be more exciting to watch."

"What the village owner said is that tomorrow we will go to the village to see each other. If there is anyone you like, we can recruit three or five of them as apprentices. They will teach you half of the dragon-capturing skills, and they can also serve as the village owner's personal bodyguards."

The banquet broke up as the party progressed, and everyone enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
