Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 155

Zhu Gan took this matter down in his heart, and he was also thinking about who was behind the scenes. Obviously, he was able to do these things. Patience, I plan to spend a long time with the Red Army!

Suddenly Zhu Qian thought of a problem, and immediately turned back, watching the family continue to bury their heads in digging the soil, but because of the help of the red army, it was almost over at this time, and the stunned child was the first to see Zhu Qian. A group of people turned back, after all the tossing just now, without any fear, they shouted: "Father, look quickly, the county magistrate who helped us is back again."

His father looked up, was startled, slapped him, and said angrily: "Dog, there is no respect."

Zhu Gan smiled at the people in the field: "It's okay, it's just a kid. I came back just to ask some questions, kid, what's your name."

"Wang Duojin!" Everyone was terrified, but the kid was the only one who replied with a smile.

Zhu Gan laughed and asked, "Could it be that there is another younger brother named Wang Duoyin?"

"No, my idiot younger brother is called Wang Shaoyin. My father said that one must be honest and not greedy. More gold and less silver is enough." The child was still giggling, pointing back to his honest father and said.

Zhu Gan was amused by him, it's not greedy to have too much gold and little silver, but he didn't care too much, and said straight to the point: "Do you know where the cattle slaughtered by the government are buried?"

"Hmm! Let me think about it." The child rubbed his chin, thinking.

His father slapped him hard on the back of the head again, and said angrily: "You don't live up to it, the magistrate is asking you something! If you know it, tell it quickly, if you don't know it, you don't know it. What are you thinking?"

The child looked at his father resentfully, then stared at Zhu Gan and said, "I know where it is, but I have two conditions."

Seeing that his father was about to hit him, the child nimbly avoided him, and looked at Zhu Gan for advice. Zhu Gan laughed, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Brother, that's all right, a filial son will come out under the stick. Your child is very good." Smart, if you want to spank him, spank his ass, spank his head, if you are stupid, you will regret it."

"Yes! Yes! Dad, did you hear that, don't slap me on the head again." The child said while the iron was hot.

The old man also said slowly: "San'er! You must remember what the county master said, and you are not allowed to hit Jinwa on the head again."

The middle-aged man responded quickly, but his face was full of joy. The county master personally praised his child for being smart, what a blessing.

The short, fat and eccentric kid Wang Duojin did not forget his own conditions, and immediately asked, "Master County, you haven't agreed to me yet! Are you sure you want to agree?"

"Say! What are your conditions?" Zhu Qian smiled slightly, just as a joke.

The child stretched out his hand and said, "First, I want to go with you personally, and I have to bring Erwa brother from the next village to go with me. Second, my family needs a farming ox."

Sure enough, the child was still a child, and Zhu Gan listened amusedly, but Zhu Gan was really surprised by his second condition, but he liked the child a little bit in his heart, so he nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I promise you, But we have to find the slaughtered cattle first."

After hearing what their children wanted to farm cattle, the whole family was terrified, for fear of offending the county magistrate in front of them. You must know that such little people as them can be crushed to death with the flick of a finger!But looking at Zhu Qian's cheerful and warm smile, his heart immediately let go, looking forward to whether he could really have a farming ox.

His father told him, "Baby! You must find it for the magistrate, or I will beat you to death when you come back."

"Understood, Dad, I will." Wang Duojin replied slightly sadly.

Zhu Gan asked someone to fetch the horse, and immediately led them to the next village, where he found the so-called second child who had been playing hooligans since he was a child, peeking at the widow's bath. After careful questioning, he learned that the second child was only about eleven years old. , taller than ordinary people, with a hulking face, and a lot of strength in his hands, so he is the king of children in several nearby villages.

Zhu Gan was overjoyed when he saw him for the first time. If this person is trained well, he will definitely be a hero when he grows up. It's just that such a person should have a dull and rigorous personality, so how can he be slippery? Watching the widow take a bath.

But no matter how Zhu Gan asked, this young man remained silent and coy. It was only after Wang Duojin and Zhu Gan got to know each other that he quietly informed him that he knew the answer. After a down-and-out general in Sichuan, he learned some martial arts since he was a child, but his father passed away early.

And Bayitang is small, and he doesn't know how to live, relying on these children to steal some food and miscellaneous goods from home, plus his hunting income to make ends meet, this is how he grew up, and he is also extremely loyal, Whenever these children made any mistakes, he would take the blame, so this left a notorious reputation in the hearts of the villagers.

Now that Zhu Gan heard about this, his heart was slightly shaken. Looking at the young man in front of him with a hulking face and a wolf-watching attitude, he became more and more joyful, and asked: "Is there any concern at home, would you like to join the army?"

I saw Bayi Tang shook his head slowly and said: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, forgive Yi Tang for not being able to, Yi Tang originally set a seven-year filial piety period for my father, and now it has only been five years, and there are still two years left."

Seeing Bayitang's neither humble nor overbearing appearance, Zhu Gan felt even more joyful. At first, he spent 3 taels for an unknown sword idiot, which was regarded as an extra personal bodyguard. I am extremely happy in my heart, at such an age, with such a performance, it is a piece of rough jade, if it is cultivated and carved well, it will definitely become a high-quality jade in the future.

Hearing Bayi Tang's words, Zhu Qian felt a little disappointed, but then became more and more happy. At least it proved the filial piety of the young man in front of him, as well as his firm will. You must know that the ancients valued "filial piety" first, and "filial piety" was even more important. The Chinese have traditional virtues that have been passed down for thousands of years, and if there are people with great filial piety, they are definitely not bad.

After clearing up his mood, he said with a smile: "Be good for your father, the leader. If you need anything, you can ask the local Red Clothes Civil Affairs Officer for help. As long as it conforms to the rules of the Red Clothes Army, they dare not make things difficult for you. But I hope , you can follow me to study hard after the seven-year filial piety period, otherwise you will waste your talent."

"Thank you, I will think about it." Bayi Tang arched his hands, looked at a rock in front of him, suddenly became excited, pointed not far away and said: "There is a valley there, and there is a waterfall behind the valley, which is very hidden. I passed by hunting a few times before, and I could hear the howling of old cows in the valley.”

Walking out of the woods, looking at the empty area in the distance, there are no extra trees, everywhere is messy, but there is no footprint, obviously there are not many people coming and going here.

As soon as Zhu Gan waved his hand, the soldiers of Mieqiu camp behind him disappeared into the forest one by one like ghosts. The two children, Bayitang and Wang Duojin, were dumbfounded, especially Wang Duojin, thinking that these people were in Tiananmen Square. Look at the clumsy working appearance in the past, and now look at the vigorous appearance of each of them like a tiger in the forest, with big mouths, an unbelievable appearance.

Looking at the two shocking children, Zhu Gan felt a little proud, and he also wanted to show off on purpose. After all, some things are easy to instill in children. As long as they plant this idea in their minds, they will not worry about it in the future. Tang Bu personally begged to come to the door.

Suddenly, a soldier from the Mieven camp quickly appeared, returned to safety, dismounted immediately, tied the horse to a forest, and walked slowly towards the valley. As soon as he approached, he didn't feel anything wrong. After entering I just feel a cool wind blowing, which is extremely biting. The temperature in this valley is much lower than outside!

Wang Duojin said: "We have been to this place before, but I heard from the old people that this valley was haunted by ghosts before. It seems that a widow who was pregnant gave birth to children in this cave, but they all died in the end. It is very scary to hear a female ghost and a baby crying outside the valley!"

As soon as these words came out, Bayitang's expression changed, showing a look of fear.

Zhu Gan didn't have so many thoughts in his heart, and walked in with steady steps. He kept secret about ghosts and gods, and he believed that as long as he had a sense of grandeur in his heart and could maintain himself, nothing could come near him.

Seeing Zhu Gan like this, the two children behind him also quickened their pace to follow behind Zhu Gan, looking around curiously.

Stepping into the cave, Zhu Qian was shocked by a gust of cold wind. After entering the cave, he looked at the mountain of cow carcasses. Due to the low temperature, there was almost no change. Zhu Gan burst out laughing. , like madness.

This really startled everyone, they looked at him at a loss, thinking it was a ghost!

Zhu Qian snorted coldly and said: "I wanted to make the stumbling block deal with me, and I came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone, but I didn't expect to steal the chicken without losing a lot of rice, which is cheap for nothing. I, so much beef, is enough for me to make a lot of beef jerky. How much rations to make."

There is a kind of joy in the words, but there is also a kind of hatred. Beef and mare's milk are the best military rations. Mongolian cavalry can run rampant in the world, coming and going like ghosts. It is the high-strength military rations like beef jerky that can support The army ran long distances without worrying about logistical drag.

Apparently, the people who made this desperate plan drove the cattle here to slaughter and freeze them. Their intention was to consume the red-clothed army while replenishing themselves. Unexpectedly, in the end, all the beef in this place belonged to the red-clothed army, but seldom went there. This caused a lot of trouble for the Red Army.

It's true that stealing chickens can't make money, and I don't know what kind of expression the person who used this strategy will have when they hear the news.
