Xianggong came from the mountains

Chapter 160 Teach Us
After the spring plowing, everyone was free, and Xia Qinghe also took advantage of this time to open up several plots of land. Now there are many wastelands near the village, and whoever opens them will own them. As for the government's tax payment, who will come to this dilapidated village next to the border?

Xia Qinghe only wanted to grow sweet potatoes, but didn't want to grow anything else at all, so all the land that was reclaimed was for sweet potatoes.

Dahuzi and Ergouzi can be regarded as the hardest working people in the village, so they cultivated the most land.

Da Huzi and Er Gouzi didn't come to Xia Qinghe's house for a while, and when they were free, they met Xiao Chu for a drink together.

A table was set up in the yard. Xia Qinghe marinated chicken feet and pig's head meat himself, cut them up and put them in bowls. Zhu Xiaochang also drank, and the four big men drank in the yard.

Xia Qinghe sat aside and listened to them.

After drinking for three rounds, Da Huzi suddenly said: "Xiao Chu, your archery is so good, did you practice it before, and the last time I went to your house and saw the set of armor hanging in your house, tell me Tell me, did you work as an official at the border before?"

In fact, he has always been curious, but usually he is too embarrassed to ask, so he has been procrastinating. There is a reason for asking these questions today.

Er Gouzi was also very curious: "Yes, Xiao Chu, tell us about it. In fact, Da Huzi and I want to go to the border to defend our home."

Both of them are passionate men, they have been together in this short period of land reclamation, looking at the day-to-day farm work, it will always seem that there is no day for success, and it is inevitable that they have other thoughts.

Xiao Chu was still hesitating, but Zhu Xiaochang beside him was excited.

"Is what you said true? But the border is so dangerous, will your parents tell you to go?"

In fact, he also wanted to go. Now he can go hunting in the forest independently, and his arrow skills are also able to penetrate the Yang with a hundred steps and a hundred shots.

Dahuzi and Ergouzi both smiled wryly. They are the only sons in the family. How could the family members agree, but if they don’t agree, they will go. The things that have been decided will not be changed easily. Besides, if they can go It's good to have made some achievements at the border, it's better than doing nothing at home for a lifetime.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the two, Xiao Chu sighed and said, "We will lose sooner or later, so there is nothing we can redeem if you go."

Xiao Chu's words made Da Huzi and Er Gouzi somewhat indignant, Da Huzi said with a dark face: "Brother Xiao, how can you grow others' will to destroy your own prestige, how do you know we will lose if you don't fight, I inquired about the news at the border, Knowing that the whereabouts of General Chu, the guarding general of our country, is now unknown, the two sides have reached an agreement, agreeing not to fight for the time being, we go now, if General Chu returns later, we will definitely beat the people of the enemy country to death."

Er Gouzi was also very excited: "Yes, yes, I heard that General Chu fought bravely, and people in the enemy country were terrified when they heard his reputation. He is simply a hero."

The serious admiration between the two cannot be expressed in words.

Xia Qinghe listened very carefully, she glanced at Xiao Chu worriedly, but saw that Xiao Chu's eyes were a little distracted, and he seemed to be absent-minded, as if he was not interested in all of this.

Da Huzi said with relish: "The one I admire most now is General Chu. He became a general at a young age. I heard that General Chu is still a prince, and he is still so good at fighting. What do you think? How respectful that is."

Da Huzi looked more and more excited, and his cheeks were a little red after drinking.

Xiao Chu's face was a little weird, and the time of Da Huzi's words changed several times, and he said in a sad voice: "What is there to admire, now General Chu is not gone, but he is just a person who is afraid to go forward when something happens. The slumped turtle, the border war stopped, not to mention the waste of people and money, but also let the enemy's people's momentum rise."

Da Huzi admired General Chu, and now that Xiao Chu said this intentionally to slander him, he immediately became angry: "Brother Xiao, you can't say that, maybe General Chu has other reasons for leaving the barracks? And I heard that Chu The general's best friend is on the battlefield...."

"Enough!" Xiao Chu roared angrily, causing Da Huzi to shrink back in fright.

It seemed that he felt that his tone was not right, that his emotions were too excited, Xiao Chu took a deep breath and closed his eyes, calming down his mood before saying: "These things are not what you said, some things are better that you don't know, besides, I can't stop you from going to the border, but if you want to go, you have to be prepared that you won't come back for the rest of your life, fighting is not a joke, it's a real fight with your own life, you must go."

Da Huzi and Er Gouzi looked at each other, and everyone present could feel that Xiao Chu must have experienced something at the border, so the reaction was so strong. Xia Qinghe was standing behind Xiao Chu at this moment, gently patting He patted Xiao Chu's shoulder and said, "Mo is going to be angry, everything is over."

Although Da Huzi was afraid that Xiao Chu would get angry, he still asked tentatively: "Brother Xiao, did something happen to you? If something really happened, can you tell me about it."

He felt that Xiao Chu was a good person, he had never used his ability to bully others for a long time, and he even helped the villagers from time to time.

Xiao Chu's heart was a little heavy, and he said after a while: "It's best if you don't know some things, you two are the only ones who can't go to the border, but it doesn't matter if you have strength, the northern grassland men are brave and good at fighting, and they are very good at riding and archery. The only way to defeat them is to be better than them, archery is the most important thing, if you really want to go, learn archery from me tomorrow, and you can only go when I think you can."

What he said was very certain, Xia Qinghe heaved a sigh of relief, and lightly patted Xiao Chu's shoulder. Although she knew that such an action was a little inappropriate, when Xiao Chu was angry just now, she felt that Xiao Chu wanted to break out.

Xiao Chu's eruption must be scary, and she didn't know what was going on, she was very afraid of Xiao Chu at this time, so she stood up and walked behind Xiao Chu to comfort him, fortunately Da Huzi and Er Gouzi couldn't pay attention On Xiao Chu.

Xiao Chu was indeed about to erupt, the scene at the border made him feel very guilty every time he thought about it, not only self-blame, but most of all remorse, remorse for the choice he made back then.

Those sad eyes stung him, so he left where he didn't belong.

Dahuzi and Ergouzi knew how good Xiao Chu's arrow skills are, so they said that after Zhu Xiaochang learned from Xiao Chu, he can now hunt. Just a while ago, during the spring plowing, Zhu Xiaochang was able to hunt rabbits from time to time. Their prey, and the occasional pheasant, are much better than their lives.
