Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 773 Do you envy soldiers?
"Father, look, there are rabbits!"

At dawn the next day, Orion took his son Xiao Niu out to look for the rabbit harness that he had laid last night.

"Take it, go to the next place to have a look!"

Orion tied the rabbit with a straw rope and threw it into the basket behind Li Xiaoniu.

After a while, Orion and his son caught three rabbits.

"Father, there are three rabbits, enough to feed for a day!"

Li Xiaoniu said excitedly.

"Well, take your bow and arrow and go see if you can get something. I'll chop wood!"

Orion handed the bow and arrows to his son, and he took the ax and the rope and walked towards the woods.

In the morning, Orion chopped two large bundles of firewood, and Li Xiaoniu also shot two pheasants and a young wild boar.

"Father, these things are enough to last for several days!"

Although Li Xiaoniu was carrying a load weighing dozens of kilograms, he didn't feel happy dancing on the heavy road at all.

"Uncle Liu! You are lucky!"

As soon as he entered the house, Li Xiaoniu yelled.

"Pull the pig's skin, put salt on the meat, smoke it and dry it!"

Orion gave instructions to his son, then turned and entered the house.

"Brother, you are back!"

When Liu Wei saw Orion came back, he leaned on the bed with one hand and sat up with force.

"Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai aaaaa

"Don't worry bro, I'm a martial artist, I know if I can move or not!"

Liu Wei didn't want to linger on this matter, so he said, "Brother, is the firewood ready?"

"Well, don't worry, I'm leaving for the city tomorrow, I'll be on my way overnight, and I'll be back the day after tomorrow!"

"Thank you, brother, when I return to the barracks, I will definitely thank you a lot!"

Liu Wei clasped his fists to Orion on the bed and saluted.

Orion glanced at Liu Wei silently, and retreated when he saw that Liu Wei had nothing to say.

At noon that day, Orion packed up two hares and stewed a large pot of broth. Although the seasoning in the broth was only coarse salt, the three of them had a delicious meal, especially Liu Wei, who had eaten decades of meat. Delicious food, although the wind and cold are just right now, and there are injuries on his body, but Liu Wei now feels that there is probably no more delicious food in this world than this.

"Brother, be careful in everything. If you really can't see anyone, then go back and let's think of other ways!"

Liu Wei said to Orion in the yard through the window.

"Well, I understand this, I won't do stupid things, just wait for my good news!"

Orion carried the firewood on his shoulders, walked out of the small courtyard halfway up the mountain, and walked towards the foot of the mountain...

After Orion left, Liu Wei felt that he was free in the house, so he called Li Xiaoniu: "Xiao Niu, come here, help me sit in the yard!"

"what?"

Li Xiaoniu was tidying up the rabbit skins in the yard, turning over the rabbit skins so that they would be heated evenly so that a good skin could be dried out. Li Xiaoniu was working hard, but he couldn't hear Liu Wei's words clearly.

"I told you to come over!"

Liu Wei raised his voice.

"coming!"

Li Xiaoniu trotted to Liu Wei's room.

"Uncle Liu, what are you doing?"

"Help me to the yard to bask in the sun!"

As Liu Wei said, he lifted the quilt covering his body.

"Uncle Liu, no, my father said, you can't move now, or you will move your muscles!"

Li Xiaoniu shook his head like a rattle and refused to let Liu Wei go out.

"You child, I don't know what's going on with me. Hurry up and help me out. Sunbathing is good for bone recovery. I can get better soon!"

Liu Weilian frightened Dai Huyou, and made Li Xiaoniu stunned.

In the end, Li Xiaoniu compromised, carried Liu Wei to the yard, and put a straw mat on the ground for Liu Wei to lean on.

In order to get out for a breath of air, Liu Wei could only be at the mercy of Li Xiaoniu, because Liu Wei grinned in pain during the ten or so steps to the yard when he came out of the house just now, and he couldn't even raise his strength.

After Li Xiaoniu finished his work, he brought a bow and arrow and practiced archery against a big tree in the distance.

Li Xiaoniu shot a total of seven arrows, four of which were hit, and one was accidentally shot in the middle of the tree trunk.

A smile appeared on Li Xiaoniu's face, a little complacent.

"Why? Do you think you shot well?"

Just when Li Xiaoniu was complacent, Liu Wei's calm voice came from behind him.

"Uncle Liu, what's the matter?"

Li Xiaoniu looked at Liu Wei suspiciously.

"Fifty steps, seven arrows, you only hit four, what's so happy about it! Now do as I say, I will teach you according to the military training method, and you can see how many you can shoot!"

Liu Wei said indifferently.

"oh oh!"

Li Xiaoniu hurried over and picked up both the arrows on the tree and the arrows on the ground.

At this time Liu Wei opened his mouth and ordered: "Stand up straight!"

Li Xiaoniu immediately stood up straight.

"Back half a step!"

"Waist and shoulder width!"

"Bend the bow and set the arrow, aim at the target!"

"put!"

As Liu Wei let out the word, the arrow in Li Xiaoniu's hand flew out, and shot directly in the middle of the tree trunk.

"Practice like this in the future. I can't guarantee that I will become a sharpshooter, but it will definitely be better than your current arrow skills!"

"it is good!"

Li Xiaoniu shot arrows for a long time, and sure enough, compared with before, his arrow skills are much stronger.

"Uncle Liu, let me help you back to the house!"

At noon, the sun became fierce, and Li Xiaoniu helped Liu Wei back to the house.

"Little Niu, what shall we have for lunch?"

At noon, Liu Wei felt his stomach growling, so he asked Li Xiaoniu for food.

"Uncle Liu, are you hungry? Then I'll roast a chicken for you!"

Originally Li Xiaoniu and his fellow poor people did not eat lunch at home, but Liu Wei was different and kept the habit of eating lunch.

"Okay, just get something to eat!"

After a while, Li Xiaoniu roasted the chicken and handed it to Liu Wei.

"You break it in half!"

Liu Wei didn't pick it up immediately, but asked Li Xiaoniu to keep half of it. After Li Xiaoniu broke it off, Liu Wei took half of the chicken with one hand and gnawed on it.

Li Xiaoniu saw that Liu Wei's food was delicious, so he asked, "Uncle Liu, how many times did you eat every day when you were a soldier in the Han army?"

Liu Wei thought for a while, and then said: "Generally three times, sometimes more, four or five times! (When staying up late to review the memorial)"

"It's great to be a soldier!"

Li Xiaoniu showed a longing look.

Liu Wei asked with a smile, "Why, do you want to be a soldier?"

"I don't want to. My father said that being a soldier will kill people. My elder brother and second brother all died because of being a soldier!"

"Then you still envy soldiers?"

"I'm not envious of being a soldier, I'm envious of how many meals you eat a day!"

Li Xiaoniu also ate a mouthful of chicken, and replied.
