Dihao's civilian life

Chapter 30 Red Arrow

Ah He entered the room with the soup in her hands, and saw her son Yao Qiu standing beside her grandfather, who seemed to be talking to him, with her back turned to herself, she asked her son, "Is your uncle awake again?"

"Father is raising his fingers." Yao Qiu turned his head and raised two fingers to his mother. He seemed to be imitating his grandfather's behavior.

"Two?" Ah He wondered, but she really didn't understand what it meant.After her father was injured and returned home, he was sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious.But as soon as he woke up, he kept pointing fingers, raised two fingers, and gestured at his neck, as if he wanted to tell her something, and his expression was very excited.Fortunately, the old man was injured and weak, so he couldn't stay in the bed, otherwise Ah He always felt that he was in a hurry, as if he was about to run outside.

Hu Sou was lying on the soft bed, he turned his head to look at his daughter, he opened his mouth, there was no sound, he made a motion of drawing the bow without making a sound.Yao Qiu looked at it and said happily, "I know, this is drawing a bow and shooting arrows." He is an eight-year-old boy, and he also has a bow. He usually uses it to shoot birds. He loves bows and arrows very much.

"Qiu, don't bother your elder father."

Ah He pushed the child aside, she leaned over to look, her father was still gesticulating, at this moment his hands were clasped together, like a lamp?No, like a flower, it slowly opens.Ah He was really dazed, she couldn't figure it out, she could only say: "Father, you rest at ease, what's the matter, let's talk about it after the injury recovers. I'm going to clean up your house and put it in prison. Throw something."

Hu Sou shook his head helplessly, he knew that he couldn't convey the meaning to his daughter, and probably no one could help him."Yi" draws the bow, and "pedicle" appears after the flower opens.

Maybe it's too late, it's too late, Jihao might have been murdered, no matter how you think about it, it's more or less ominous.Two days had passed since I met those two killers. If Si Hao had been killed, his body would have been cold by now.

Hu Sou likes Ji Hao, a young man who is smart, eager to learn, and humble. He takes him like a grandson, teaching him herding and fishing, teaching him to identify wild vegetables and herbs, and teaching him to deal with wild animals.In Husou's long life, he has seen many regrettable things and many regrettable people. This emperor's son is really ill-fated and helpless after all.

"Father, drink the medicine."

Ah He picked up his father, turned his head sideways for him, and fed him the medicine spoon by spoon.The neck was cut. If the cut was not in the right place, he would starve to death if he didn't bleed to death. Fortunately, he could still drink some medicinal soup and saved his old life.

Hu Sou opened his mouth and swallowed slowly. He was very lucky to be able to save his life and be with his daughter and grandson.

After feeding a bowl of medicine, Ah He helped Husou to lie down, she took the empty bowl and went out, leaving Yao Qiu in the room to accompany Husou.Yao Qiu sat next to Hu Sou again, he lowered his head and asked him, "Father, are you drawing a bow and shooting an arrow?"

Husou shook his head.

Yao Qiu was a very clever boy, so he asked again, "Is that someone who knows how to shoot arrows?"

Husou nodded.

Yao Qiu was overjoyed, he held up two fingers, and said, "I see, they are two archers, right?"

Hu Sou nodded vigorously twice, and he smiled weakly.

"Mum, I know, I know what Daddy is going to say!"

Yao Qiu ran out of the room and ran to find his mother, his clear childish voice could be heard even across the courtyard, Hu Sou must have run to the kitchen to tell Ah He what he knew.

Although Si Hao's identity and the death he suffered can't be drawn with fingers, but telling his family that he was injured by two archers can also make them beware and prevent it before it happens.

Because of her son's intelligence, Ah He finally understood that her father was injured not because of hunting, but by others. She was shocked, Jiaoshan has always been peaceful and peaceful, how could such a terrible thing happen.

Hu Sou and Sun Tzu said that on the same day that two archers injured him, a dozen soldiers from the Jiaoshan Camp appeared on Gouwei Beach, attracting everyone to watch.Yao Qiu huddled in the crowd, listening to the conversation between the soldiers and the people. He heard the content of the conversation, it seems that some gangsters killed a pig herdsman and brought his pigs to Gouwei Beach to sell?Because of the noisy voice, Yao Qiu couldn't hear clearly.The soldiers left quickly, Yao Qiu was holding on to the bow and wanted to follow, but his father Yao Ying saw him and called him back, telling him: "There are murderers outside, you are not allowed to run outside."

Yao Qiu was dragged home by his father, and went back to the house bored. He went to his grandfather's house, and saw his grandfather sleeping soundly.Yao Qiu looked at the bloody cloth strips wrapped around his grandfather's neck, and his face wrinkled like old bark, and felt that he was very pitiful, and the person who hurt him was very hateful.It's a pity that Yao Qiu was still a child, he didn't think about the connection between the killed pig shepherd and his injured grandfather.

At night, after Yao Qiu fell asleep, Ah He talked with her husband Yao Ying about her father's gesture, saying that her father seemed to have been injured by two archers, not from hunting.

Yao Ying didn't believe it, and said, "He's so sick that he's in a daze, and he's making random gestures."

**

At noon in the Jiaoshan camp, instead of the sound of soldiers waving spears and practicing, they heard a miserable cry, women and children crying together.The swineherd Qiu Zhuo's wife and children and seven or eight neighbors came from Hupo, and a group of people flocked to the camp to identify Qiu Zhuo's body.

It was hot in summer, and the dead body that had been left for three days was already stinking, its internal organs were rotten, and yellow water leaked out from the wound on its chest. Qiu Zhuo's wife cried bitterly while touching the dead body, beating her chest and stamping her feet. Beside her was a three or four-year-old boy lying on his stomach It's really miserable to cry bitterly beside my mother.

As a general, Ren Ming came out of the big house when he heard the crying, and stood watching from the sidelines with a solemn expression.The person died in Jianggou, but it was not far from the camp, which meant that someone dared to kill someone at his door, and he hadn't caught anyone yet.Ren Ming was a little frustrated. The swineherd had been dead for three days, but he still hadn't caught the murderer.

At first, Ren Ming suspected that the soldiers in his own camp did it, because the wounds of the deceased were neat and made of sharp copper tools, and the local herdsmen generally did not have such sophisticated weapons.The soldiers were questioned, and all ruled out. No one left the camp when the swineherd was killed.

If it's not your own soldier, then you have to look outside, maybe it's outsiders who came to Jiaoshan to commit crimes.Ren Ming sent two search teams to patrol near Yanqiu, but they found nothing.

Later, someone at Gouweitan reported to Ren Ming that on the same day that the swineherd was killed, two men drove a big black pig to Gouweitan to slaughter at dusk.

This is rather credible information. After Ren Ming got the news, he immediately sent someone to Gouweitan to inquire.Chade is two men, one tall and one short, both wearing pigskin clothes. They are about 30 years old, but the tall man has gray beard and gray hair.A lot of soldiers were sent to search the forest in Jiaoshan, but there was no trace of any suspicious man, it seemed that he came and went without a trace.Perhaps, it is not necessarily true that they have escaped from Jiaoshan.

In the corner of the camp, with the comfort of her relatives and neighbors, the woman's crying gradually subsided, and she was pulled away from the body.Two middle-aged men approached the corpse, one raised his head and the other lifted his feet, trying to load the corpse onto a wooden cart so that it could be transported back to Zhupo for burial.Although it stinks, the corpse cannot be buried in the ground casually, and must be buried with the deceased ancestors.

Qiu Zhuo was a relatively fat person. Two strong men moved him to the wooden cart with great difficulty, and were rolling straw mats around him. Unexpectedly, Qiu Zhuo's wife suddenly burst into tears and threw herself at the dead body. She felt sad in her heart.Maybe it was not stable on the wooden cart before, or something, Qiu Hog's body rolled off the wooden cart and fell to the ground.People saw the corpse fall to the ground, and heard a crisp sound, and something red fell out of the corpse.

Someone immediately picked it up, and someone immediately shouted: "It's the copper arrow, it's the arrow that killed Ah Pig!"

The group of people from Zhupo immediately went into an uproar. They heard the report that they were killed by a spear. The dead person was already very sad, but now they found the copper arrowhead, and they were even more dissatisfied.

Seeing the commotion ahead, Ren Ming took two soldiers and walked over. He was not too close, and stood outside, asking the soldiers to investigate. The soldiers came over obsessed with something, and reported: "It's a copper arrow that fell from the corpse. .”

A stinking copper arrowhead was handed to Ren Ming, but Ren Ming didn't reach out to take it, he was taken by the color of the copper arrowhead, bright red copper arrowhead, this is a red arrowhead.

As a military officer in charge of border defense, Ren Ming knew what the arrowheads of this color meant.

Dyeing arrowheads with red paint is only done by one ethnic group—Jin and Yi.

The sharpshooters of the Jinyi tribe will be given red arrows by the Jinyi leader, which is a status symbol and a deterrent to other tribes.

More than ten years ago, the red arrowhead was a nightmare for many tribes in Heluo, and countless people died under it.

Ren Ming felt that something was wrong, a sharpshooter from Jinyi sneaked into Jiaoshan Mountain!

Such important matters need to be reported to Muzheng to know, and to discuss countermeasures with Muzheng.Ren Fang and Qiongren have been at war for a long time, and Qiongren has the support of Jin and Yi behind him. It is no small matter to find Jinyi archers on Ren Fang.

Ren Ming didn't know about Si Hao's existence, but he reacted very quickly. He sent a soldier to inform Mu Zheng.

The soldiers took orders and left in a hurry.

Ren Ming looked at the relatives and friends of the deceased who were still discussing. He stepped into the crowd, held up a red arrowhead and said: "After the archer shoots someone, pull out the arrow. The arrow is pulled out and remains in his chest." Ren Ming pointed Qiu Zhu, who was lying upright on the wooden cart, had to tell this group of people what was going on.

"After a person dies, the five lungs and six viscera will rot first, and the meat will rot into water, and the arrow will fall out." Ren Ming said that the meat was rotten into water, and he heard Qiu Zhu's wife screaming.

"I didn't see the arrow before, and the arrow handle was pulled out again, so I thought it was a spear that killed him." Ren Ming has worked abroad for many years and knows how to deal with civilians. He is much more approachable than those noble children in Renyi.He clarified the truth, and Qiu Zhu's relatives and friends stopped making noise. They talked and discussed in low voices, and finally transported Qiu Zhu's body away and left the camp.

It is a very risky thing to go out alone. You may be robbed or killed, you may be attacked by wild animals, or you may even fall and drown.Qiu Zhu went out alone for money, and died in a robbery, so it is not easy to blame others.From the perspective of Qiu Zhu's relatives and friends, Jiaoshan is in such a mess that they won't come to sell pigs in the future. As for killing people for their lives, people are used to doing it themselves.The father died, the son went to take revenge, the younger brother died, the older brother went to take revenge, but Qiu Zhuo's son was still very young.

More than a dozen people left with the wooden cart carrying Qiu Hog's body, casting long shadows on the road. They walked slowly, and it took a long time before they disappeared from Ren Ming's sight.

The soldiers sent by Ren Ming ran very fast. He was the fast leg in the camp, rushing to Muzheng's house with a huff.

This soldier had been to Muzheng's house in the past, and when he ran to the gate of the courtyard, Shu Shi, who was enjoying the shade under the big tree in the courtyard, recognized him and led him into the house to find Muzheng.

In the afternoon, the sun was slanting, and Mu was staying in his room, holding a brush, and counting on the bamboo slices. When he was counting the number of sheep of a certain herdsman, he heard the sound of Shu, looked back, and saw the soldiers in the camp.

Ren Ming rarely sent soldiers over, and every time he sent soldiers there was something important, Mu Zheng asked, "What's the matter?"

The soldier replied: "The minister asked me to tell Muzheng that it was the red arrow who killed the swineherd. The minister asked Muzheng to go over and discuss."

The soldier just repeated Ren Ming's words. He didn't seem to know what the red arrow meant. He looked childish, and he was probably only sixteen or seventeen years old. When he was born, the battle between Jinyi and Dixiang had already ended.

"You mean the red arrowhead?!" Mu Zheng suddenly stood up, dropping the brush in his hand to the ground.

In this originally peaceful afternoon, Mu Zheng suddenly came out of the house and ordered the servants to take up their weapons and immediately follow him to Luoyuqiu without delay.Shu drove the car to Muzheng, and the rest of the servants followed.

The carriage galloped away, Shu waved his whip, Mu Zheng was circling in a hurry on the carriage, Shu heard him keep thinking: "If he dies, how can he explain to Ren Jun, how can he explain!"

This afternoon, the soldiers were frightened by the panicked Mu Zheng. When he said the red arrow, Mu Zheng suddenly yelled at him: "Go and call your ministers here, and immediately lead the soldiers to Luoyuqiu. Big deal!"

The young soldier didn't drink a sip of water, and ran back desperately to report to Ren Ming.

Not long after Muzheng left, Ren Fang drove home from outside. The carriage approached the gate of the courtyard, but no servants came out to greet him. Ren Fang felt something was wrong.He got out of the car and walked towards the house, only to find that there was no one in the house.

"Where has everyone gone?" Ren Fang called out, and there were several servants in the family, and it was impossible for everyone to disappear.

No one responded to him, and everything seemed dead silent.

Ren Fang had an ominous premonition, he ran into the house to look for someone, but there was no one there, then rushed out of the house and saw Ren Jia and the maid Nian together.Ren Fang anxiously asked, "Jia, where have father and servants gone?"

Ren Jia said: "I didn't know that my brother just came back. Father and the others are all going to Luoyuqiu to catch the big bad guy!"

Hearing this, Ren Fang was perplexed, and asked, "Luoyuqiu?"

"After my brother left, a soldier came to look for my father, and my father suddenly became very angry." Ren Jia was playing in the house at the time, and she was very excited when she heard her father's voice. .

Ren Jia continued: "Father said: 'Hao's going to have an accident, how can I explain to Mr. Ren', Father called all the male slaves up, took bows and arrows, spears and shields, and left together."

Ren Fang was dumbfounded, he couldn't figure out what was going on?From this description, it seems that someone is going to kill Jihao?And what is the relationship between Ji Hao and Ren Jun?Although in shock, Ren Fang was still thinking clearly. He rushed to the house, took down his bow and arrow, and Ren Jia chased after him, calling, "Where is brother going, can you take me with you?"

"Don't mess around, Nian, take care of Jia!" Ren Fang ran to the yard, boarded the carriage, and drove away with his whip.

The carriage sped forward, kicking up dust.Ren Jia stood outside the courtyard watching, and said angrily, "It's fine if you don't let me follow you."

She was not afraid of murderous gangsters, probably because she felt that she was not afraid of anything with her brother, father and a group of slaves around.

Ren Fang galloped all the way, but before arriving at Luoyu Hill, he saw a corpse lying on the road, it was a slave of the family.An arrow pierced through the slave's heart, killing him with one shot.He fell at the intersection, and no one paid attention to him. The strange thing is that there was very little blood on his body and on the ground. He obviously didn't die here.Where are the other slaves?Could it be that the father was also attacked?Ren Fang felt terrified, he held his bow and went into the forest to inquire, the wind was rustling in the forest, he heard footsteps in the sound of the wind, nervous, Ren Fang immediately drew his bow.Almost at the moment when the launch was about to take place, Ren Fang caught sight of a familiar figure, a servant pod.

Pod yelled in horror: "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

The two also frightened each other, and the pod also saw Ren Fang's figure and the bow and arrow through the gap between the leaves.

When Pod was searching for the archer, he got separated from other servants. He panicked, fell down, and broke the stone spear in his hand.He held the broken spear in his arms, and his whole body was still trembling slightly.

Ren Fang took his bow and said, "What are you doing here? Where is my father?"

"Muzheng is taking Jihao to the Jiaoshan camp, let us search for the archer here." Ju wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he was really frightened and cried, "That archer is so scary, he shot Bing to death at a distance."

Bing was the servant whose corpse was lying outside. Ren Fang had already seen him, and his death was miserable.

Ren Fang asked, "Jihao is still alive?"

He asked this question not because he thought that Si Hao should die, but because he thought it was incredible that Si Hao could survive.You must know that Si Hao was assassinated in the lonely Jiaoshan, and his archery skills are extraordinary.

Pod Hui: "Ji Hao was hit by an arrow, and when he was carried away, he was still alive."

Ren Fang thought that it would be good to be alive, and he really has an unusual status, so I will ask him about his origins in person.

"Have you seen the archer?" This is an important matter, Ren Fang asked carefully.

Pod shook his head and said, "It's too far away, I can't see clearly."

Ren Fang then didn't ask him anything else. This servant was very timid, and he probably would have been shocked even if he saw it, so he didn't count on him.Ren Fang turned and left, leaving the pod alone in the forest.

He was afraid of the jungle, afraid of being ambushed by archers, but with Mu Zheng's order, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go into the forest, thinking silently: I can't see me.

He was wandering in the forest, so nervous that he wanted to cry, and finally met other servants, and he wanted to hug and cry bitterly.The servants did not find the archer, and a group of them wandered in the forest.

Ren Fang came out of the forest and returned to the carriage. He glanced at the corpse on the ground, as if something attracted him.Ren Fang squatted down, reached out and grabbed the arrow feathers stuck in the corpse, he pulled out the arrow feathers forcefully, he saw the red arrowheads, and was horrified!

Ren Fang has a good relationship with Ren Ming from the Jiaoshan camp, and he is also knowledgeable about weapons.

The first thing Ren Fang noticed about this arrow was its feathers.Its arrow feathers, although badly worn and stained with blood, are still recognizable as those of a kingfisher.Ren Ren's arrow feathers are not so particular, and he will not deliberately use kingfisher feathers, but the red arrowhead is even more iconic.

The red arrowhead and green feather arrow, this is the arrow of the Jinyi Archer!

Ren Fang hurriedly boarded the carriage, raised his whip and set off, the carriage galloped towards the Jiaoshan camp, Ren Fang's whip was raised, and the horse ran like crazy.

On the carriage, Ren Fang's thoughts were racing. He thought that the sharpshooters from Jin and Yi would attack Si Hao, and that Si Hao might belong to the Luo Si clan; The camp has the most powerful witch doctor in All Horns.

The author has something to say: Director: In the next chapter, we will know how Hao always avoids death.

______

Mr. Hao: Come out, director, why did I get shot again!

Director: Oh, isn't there a witch doctor who predicted that arrows wouldn't kill you?It's okay to shoot a lot of arrows!

Mr. Hao indifferently draws the bow and shoots the arrow

Director (hugging his knees): Oh, it hurts, it hurts

Mr. Hao (cold): You were shot by the arrow and you died, do you want another arrow?
