The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

As for what Zhong Mugen and his wife said, Zhong Wen will not pay too much attention to it. After all, this matter does not seem to be very important to him. If Zhong Wen learns about Li Daochang's death, it must be different from his current thinking different.

The characters flashed and compared one by one, one character and one character, and none of them was missed. The characters that were quite familiar at first, but when it was really necessary to form words or sentences, Zhong Wen found it very difficult.

When there was no result, Zhong Wen stopped comparing the characters, but in his mind, he began to think about what Li Daochang and the others talked today.

For a man who was used to being comfortable in his previous life, war can be said to be everyone's dream.

But at this moment, Zhong Wen thought in his heart that he would grow up quickly, use this time to temper and train, maybe one day he would be able to fight on the battlefield with a halberd, and realize his dream of a cold weapon war.

As for life or death, these are not within the scope of consideration. If you really want to go to the battlefield, who will care about your own life.

Zhong Wen decided in his heart that from tomorrow onwards, he would start to forge and polish his body. At the same time, he should also train his skills well, and then gradually fell asleep.

Chapter 26 The Beggar Rabbit

After waking up overnight, the sky was bright, and Zhong Mugen and his wife had long since disappeared.

Zhong Wen got up from the thatched mat, looked at the little flower beside him, he was sleeping like a little pig, his mouth was still bubbling.

After leaving the house, standing in front of the open space, he began to do radio gymnastics. This is the only way for Zhong Wen to pass the boring morning, which can also be said to be exercise.

Of course, Zhong Wen didn't know if the specific forging project was feasible. Forging required a lot of physical strength and calories, but there was only gruel in the house.

Although some hare meat or fish meat will be added, Zhong Wen doesn't want such a small amount of calories.

What Zhong Wen needs is high-energy food, or even a wild rabbit every day. Perhaps in this way, the energy consumed by the exercise can be replenished. Otherwise, with his small body, it is estimated that several Even the sky can't resist it.

After doing a whole set of radio gymnastics, he stopped, then went to the kitchen, fetched some water and some salt, and took a luxurious wash.

If Zhong Mugen saw it, he would have to tell Zhong Wen a lesson, how could a farmer use expensive salt to rinse his mouth, he would be struck by lightning.

Zhong Wen wasn't afraid of this shit, if he really dared to give himself a lightning strike, he would have to go to Hades to complain.

"elder brother."

Xiaohua is standing at the door of the house, and she is like a chicken coop, she is in this state every day, looking at Zhong Wen, Zhong Wen doesn't know why her little sister is always like this, can't she take care of her own hair ?

"Little girl, come here, let me tidy up your hair for you. You have to learn to tidy up your hair every day. Don't always wake up and make your head look like a chicken coop. Be careful of bugs."

Zhong Wen pulled Xiao Hua over and sat on the stone in front of the open space, helping the little girl to tidy up her hair, and kept scolding Xiao Hua in her mouth.

Xiaohua likes this feeling very much. She likes her brother to help her tidy her hair. She feels very happy to have such a brother. She opens her big eyes and looks at Zhong Wen. She doesn’t know why her brother has changed so much. It's really not like this, Xiao Hua prefers her brother like this now.

"Go to the kitchen and get some water to wash your face."

After Zhong Wen helped Xiao Hua tidy her hair, she called Xiao Hua to go to the kitchen to wash her face, while she sat on the rock and became dazed.

Zhong Wen thought about what to do today, such as fishing?It seems that there are too many fish at home recently, so forget it.

Another example, by the way, it seems that the slings in the wasteland have not been checked. I have to go there today to check the slings, and the wooden stick I made must be finished. It is a long gun made by myself, maybe Not great, but still usable as a weapon.

Not long after, Zhong Mugen and his wife came back and saw that the brother and sister had also gotten up.

"Xiaowen, Xiaohua, today we are going to Guanli to visit Li Daochang. You should be well at home and don't go into the forest."

Xiu made a loud confession to the Zhong Wen brothers and sisters, and then went down to the ground resisting the hoe.

Zhong Wen remembered that last night, his parents seemed to be discussing with the elders in the village to discuss Li Daochang's affairs. He thought that after they had breakfast today, they would definitely go to Guanli to visit Li Daochang.

You can't go empty-handed when you visit someone, at least you have to prepare some gifts or something, but the people in the village, who can come up with something good.

As for what gifts to prepare, these are not for Zhong Wen to consider. It is impossible for the children to go to the temple to visit Li Daochang with them, so the elders in the family can only go.

"Brother, what are we going to do today?"

Xiao Hua looked at Zhong Wen, wanting to learn from Zhong Wen what she planned to do today.

"I'll make this spear first. After breakfast, my father and mother are going to visit Li Daochang in Guanli. When the time comes, let's go to the wasteland to check the slings. Today I will make you a roasted hare Eat, but you can't tell Mom and Dad about them."

Zhong Wen took out the kitchen knife from the stove and began to sharpen his stick. As for whether it will work well, Zhong Wen doesn't know for the time being, let's talk about it first.

"Brother, what are you using this wooden stick for?"

Xiao Hua squatted in front of Zhong Wen, looking at the wooden stick in Zhong Wen's hand, she didn't know why her brother made a wooden stick.

"It's definitely useful if you do it. If you see a snake, I can use this spear to kill it."

Zhong Wen didn't raise his head, he just polished the long spear in his hand, and casually said to Xiao Hua.

After listening to Zhong Wen's words, Xiao Hua suddenly remembered the big snake she met with Zhong Wen when they went to the forest, and immediately got goosebumps.

After breakfast, Zhong Mugen and his wife took a dried hare from home, went to the village, joined the villagers in the village, and gave Zhong Wen brothers and sisters a word before going out.

Zhong Wen watched his father and mother leave, and then he carried a kitchen knife, a basket and a small wooden hoe. Of course, the long gun that was polished this morning must be brought.

"Xiaohua, take the flint with you, and we'll go to the wasteland to roast hares in a while."

Zhong Wenshun took a bowl with him, filled it with some salt, and thought about going to the wasteland to roast a hare for a feast today.

After the brothers and sisters closed the door of the house, they walked towards the wasteland, humming a song along the way, as for Xiaohua, also humming the song taught by A Niang.

Looking at the expressions of the brothers and sisters, they knew they were happy. As for why they were happy, only the brothers and sisters knew. Besides, there was no one outside at this time, and the adults had all gone to the village. Go to the temple to see Li Daochang.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhong Wen and Xiao Hua came to the edge of the wasteland and put down all their things. Xiao Hua carried an empty basket, and Zhong Wen walked towards the sling with a spear in his hand.

Beating and beating all the way, many snakes, rats, insects and frogs were scared away, and they will come to the edge of the sling, which is empty.

Then I started to go to other slings, and it took half an hour to check all the slings.

Twenty slings brought Zhong Wen eight hares, and Zhong Wen began to suspect that this wilderness was a large hare nest.

Although the slings did not change positions, Zhong Wen believed that in just one or two more days, there would be a lot of gains from these slings.

"Brother, there are a lot of hares. Are we going to roast and eat hares later? Will Mom and Dad blame us?"

Xiao Hua helped Zhong Wen hold the spear, and Zhong Wen carried the basket. Because of the weight of the rabbit, Zhong Wen had to carry it.

"Little sister, it's okay. Anyway, we have a lot of wild rabbits. Let's roast one and eat it. Mom and dad won't blame us."

Although Zhong Wen didn't know much about it, it wasn't a big problem in his mind, and besides, he wouldn't be scolded if he just ate a hare.

The brothers and sisters returned to the place where the things were kept, and after a short rest, they arranged for Xiao Hua to pick up some firewood, while Zhong Wen started to dig a hole.

Zhong Wen wanted to make a beggared rabbit, but he didn't know if it would work, but it was possible if he wanted to.

The pit was dug well, and then I went to deal with the hare. By the way, I also dug some wild ginger, onion and garlic, and picked some big leaves.

"Brother, roasted hare, why use these things?"

Xiaohua didn't know what to do, she didn't know what happened to the roasted hare made by Zhong Wen. In the past, most of the roasted things were roasted with an open fire.

"Brother will make a beggar rabbit to eat later, it must be delicious."

It's not easy for Zhong Wen to explain more. No matter how you explain this matter, you can't explain it clearly. It's better to have a meal and watch it.

When everything was ready, I put the hare wrapped in big leaves into the pit, and after burying it, I called the little flower to light a fire, and then it started to burn slowly.

"Xiao Hua, look at the fire, don't let the fire go out, I'll get some more firewood to burn."

Zhong Wen confessed that he went not far away, cut some dead branches, and came over to add some firewood to the fire.

There are quite a few small trees beside the small river. Although they are not big, they are as thick as an adult's arm. There are also many dead trees, and they are quite dense. There are only some places without them, and those vacant places are also convenient for Zhong Wen to fish. .

Where there is water, thorns and small trees are easy to grow, and weeds are particularly dense. Of course, snakes and insects are definitely indispensable.

After more than an hour, Zhong Wen felt that the Called Flower Rabbit was almost ready, but he was a little worried that the Called Flower Rabbit hadn't been cooked by the fire, so he had to continue to burn and add more firewood to the fire.

"Brother, when will it be good? I'm hungry."

This is Xiaohua's eighth questioning, and Zhong Wen didn't want to respond at all, but in order to keep his ears quiet, he still had to respond to this little girl.

"Little sister, can you wait for a while? After another two or three quarters of an hour, it should be ready to eat."

Zhong Wen took a wooden branch and turned the fire, hoping that the bigger the fire, the better, so that it would be easier to suffocate the hares in the pit.

After half an hour passed, Zhong Wen finally extinguished the fire.

At this time, he was pulling out some remaining unextinguished firewood in the fire, and pushing it aside.

It is close to the water source, but it is also close to the wilderness. Zhong Wen is afraid that these sparks will ignite the wilderness. If it really ignites, it will be difficult to save.

Afterwards, Zhong Wen went to the small river with a bowl, fetched some water, and poured it on the ashes.

When Zhong Wen picked up some soil with a small wooden hoe, a strong fragrance wafted out, making Xiao Hua's saliva flow from the corner of her mouth.

"Brother, it smells so good."

Xiaohua wiped the saliva that flowed out, and swallowed, watching Zhong Wen's movements.

"Don't worry, good things have to come slowly. Anyway, there is a whole hare, which should be enough for us to eat."

Zhong Wen also swallowed the saliva in his mouth, the smell is really too strong, perhaps this is the first time in Zhong Wen's life to eat Beggar Rabbit or Beggar Chicken, and he doesn't know which taste is the best, But at this moment, the scent of the flower rabbit had already made him intoxicated.

Zhong Wen carefully pulled the beggar rabbit out of the pit, wiped off the dirt on the surface with some big leaves, and moved it to the clean ground aside.

"Little sister, come on, it's hot, be careful."

Zhong Wen pulled off a hare's leg, wrapped it in a big leaf, and handed it to Xiao Hua.

"Brother, it smells delicious, it's really delicious."

After Xiaohua tasted it, she couldn't stop at all, and kept saying it was delicious, saying it was the most delicious thing in the world.

Chapter 27 Combined Doctrine

Beggar Rabbit, maybe in the eyes of others, it is just a child's plaything, but to the Zhong Wen brothers and sisters, they are just children, but they are also another kind of delicacy.

Zhong Wen was tearing and biting the rabbit meat, the taste can be said to be absolutely good, at least in Zhong Wen's memory, except for his favorite dish in his previous life, there is nothing to compare with it.

"Brother, this Beggar Rabbit is really delicious. Brother, let's make Beggar Rabbit at night. Let's make it for Mom and Dad."

While Xiao Hua was eating the Beggar Rabbit, she was still thinking about dinner. Of course, in her heart, she also hoped that her father and mother would also eat this delicious Beggar Rabbit.

"Okay, after we go home at night, we will cook and eat at home, and we will also cook and eat for my parents."

At this time, the brothers and sisters no longer had the appearance they had at the beginning, and they were worried that their parents would scold them if they found out.

If someone gave Xiao Hua a few big chicken legs now, Zhong Wen believed that it would be impossible for her to get her Beggar Rabbit in exchange.

"Here, little sister, this half of a beggar rabbit is for you to eat."

Zhong Wen tore out most of the Beggar Rabbit and handed it to Xiao Hua, leaving only a small half for himself.

"Thank you bro."

Xiaohua used the big leaf to take most of the called flower rabbit that Zhong Wen handed over, and ate it again in big mouthfuls. The cheerfulness was so beautiful, not to mention how beautiful it was.

Two quarters of an hour later, the siblings were still licking the soup and oil left in their hands, looking very much like two little beggars.

Although the two of them did look a bit like little beggars, it was not a big deal for the two brothers and sisters, and besides, everyone in the village was like this.

"Brother, are we still coming tomorrow?"

Xiaohua looked at the few hares in the basket, and knew that these hares were going to be taken home to be made into wax rabbits, but in her heart, she was dreaming that she wanted to eat these called flower rabbits tomorrow, even if she didn't eat them every day. All meals are fine.

"Little sister, let's take a look tomorrow. If there are wild rabbits, let's make these called flower rabbits to eat."

Zhong Wen didn't have any objections, at least for him, it would be convenient for him to eat better first, otherwise his small body would not be able to withstand some high-intensity training.

"Xiao Hua, let's go home. Mom and Dad will probably be back later."

Zhong Wen looked up at the sky. It was around 03:30 in the afternoon. In another hour or so, Zhong Mu and his wife must be back, because there were already people working in the farmland in the distance. It is estimated that the villagers went to Guanli After visiting Li Daochang, he has already gone to work in the fields.

"Okay, brother, let's go back and make beggar rabbits for my father and mother."

Xiao Hua got up and helped Zhong Wen hold the spear and some other things, while Zhong Wen carried the basket and walked towards home with difficulty.

After returning home, put the basket by the side of the kitchen, so that parents can see it immediately after they come back, and it is also convenient for them to clean up and make wax rabbits.

"Brother, are we going to collect some firewood? It seems that there is not enough firewood in the stove."

Xiao Hua put the kitchen knife into the stove and came out, casually talking to Zhong Wen.

"Okay, let's go and pick up some firewood. After we're done picking up firewood, it's time for Mom and Dad to come back."

After hearing this, Zhong Wen didn't care, anyway, he had to get firewood for his family, and the ashes had to be kept, all of which were necessary materials for cooking salt.

Of course, plant ash is definitely the best, some firewood ash can't cook much salt out, this is also Zhong Wen's experiment once, and he already knows which kind is easier to cook out salt.

The brothers and sisters then went to the forest to collect some firewood and came back. When they came back, their parents had already returned home.

"Xiaowen, Xiaohua, don't go to collect firewood from now on, your father and I will go and collect some firewood." Xiu watched the two villains come back with a lot of firewood, feeling quite distressed in her heart.

"Aniang, my little sister and I are fine anyway, we just do some work for the family, let's just collect some firewood, it's not too tiring."
