Xiaoyao Nongjiazi
Chapter 91
Zhong Qingran explained all his plans, and if there were any inconsiderate or untimely ideas, Mr. Zhong and the others would supplement and improve them. When it was time to talk, everyone turned off the lights and went to sleep.
In fact, Mr. Zhong was quite worried, because Qingran treated him very well.Building walls and the like, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was done by levying corvée, so that the forced labor could be fed, and that was regarded as the supervising official's conscience. If they were like Qingran, they wouldn't There was an atmosphere of mourning in the village.
Mr. Zhong didn't want to oppress the villagers, he was just afraid that Qingran's policies would not be realized in the end, and the family's property would be exhausted. He was not worried that his family would not be able to survive, but he was afraid that Qingran would be masturbated If they go on, can they live a good life?
Qing Ran has a conscience, but other people may not be in the top position.Now everyone is looking at hello and hello, but who knows what they will become after they have tasted the taste of power?People's hearts are fickle, and just because they followed the Zhong family to this alien land, it should not be assumed that everyone will be able to live in harmony in the days to come.As long as people still have selfishness and desires, there will be struggles wherever there are people, and this has been the case since ancient times.
With a long sigh, Mr. Zhong lost to Duke Zhou and fell into a dreamland.
Zhong Qingran didn't know that Mr. Zhong was worried about his decision. He and Jian Mingyu were lying on the same bed, whispering to each other.
"Mingyu, Minglei and Dianbai haven't come back yet, I'm a little worried."
"Well, so do I. I hope they're okay. If they don't come back by noon tomorrow, we'll look for them." Jian Mingyu suggested, and Zhong Qingran immediately agreed.
Zhong Qingran yawned, seeing that the night was already deep, he didn't insist any longer, and soon fell asleep soundly, Jian Mingyu was not much slower than him.
It can be said that everything is completely silent at this time, except for the whispered conversation of the two night watchmen outside, and the occasional crackling sound of the burning firewood exploding, there is no trace of movement heard.
Early the next morning, Zhong Qingran was woken up by Jian Mingyu with his eyes blindfolded. He had to tell the villagers the rules set yesterday.
The villagers gathered in the center of the village, quietly listening to Zhong Qingran's speech, and when they heard that everything was back to normal, they immediately became agitated.Some thought it was good, and some doubted how long Zhong Qingran could last for such a good condition, before the order collapsed again, how would they live in the future?Relying on one family, it is difficult to survive in such a strange place, and the issue of marriage of their children and grandchildren is enough for them to worry about.
The difficulty of the Yunwu Strait, the villagers all know well, if the Zhong family is dragged down, they will not be able to communicate with the outside world, go out from the mountains?Forget it, snakes, insects, rats, ants, wolves, tigers and leopards are enough for them to drink a pot. If it weren't for this, it's true that the Great Zhou Dynasty and Beisha didn't covet Hanhai Prefecture?Don't be too naive, if this is the case, Hanhai Prefecture is estimated to have been divided up by these two countries long ago, and it is absolutely impossible for it to be as sparsely populated as it is now.
Without external personnel to supplement, it means that many people have to be single. After all, not all men can accept that their partner is the same gender as themselves.
"Try out the rules I just mentioned for a while, and if it really doesn't work, then change them until the income and expenditure can be balanced." Zhong Qingran paused for a moment, and then said, "If any of you have any ideas or disagreements, please bring them up now. Don't wait for the time."
There was a lot of commotion underneath, and Zhou Ming was the one who had the most knowledge, but even he couldn't offer any better advice. After all, before he retired from the army, he was only in charge of the soldiers of one ship. If he were to make the rules, then Isn't it difficult for him?Zhou Ming was like this, and the other villagers were even more incompetent for this duty. After communicating with family members and companions for a while, their voices gradually disappeared.
"Is there any objection? Then the rules are set like this, and each person in charge can do their part." Zhong Qingran didn't talk nonsense, and walked directly to the tent. He had to catch up on sleep. He woke up too early today. After talking for a long time, the sky is still only dim.
Today, Fu Village has nothing but the materials brought by Zhong Qingran and the others. The most important thing for them now is to reclaim wasteland, build houses, and build walls, so everything is focused on these three things.
The population of Fucun is only that, and boatmen and craftsmen account for nearly half of the strong labor force. It is obviously unrealistic to let them do their original work around the clock.Therefore, they have to participate in these three tasks for the time being, but they can leave work earlier in the afternoon to do their own things.Of course, the wages will be deducted accordingly. If there is no private work to do, you will have to work all day.
Zhou Ming was born in the navy and was not very familiar with land training, so he could only give Jian Mingyu a little advice, and Zhong Qingran had to figure out the rest.What Zhong Qingran meant was that after the preparatory work in Fucun was completed, the boatmen would still be led by Zhou Ming, and they would only have to go fishing part-time.
There are more than 20 boatmen in total, and the population of Fucun is only over 150, so there is no need for them to hunt seafood all day long, and if they catch too much, no one will eat it, right?As for trading with other villages, it will have to wait until after the construction of Fucun Village. Therefore, the training of planting land will become a part of their daily life.
Although the situation in Hanhai is special, before the natural barrier of Yunwu Strait is breached, it is estimated that there are not many opportunities to use Zhou Ming and the others, but Zhong Qingran did not think about withdrawing this establishment.Fucun was originally in short supply of talents. After the withdrawal, the inheritance was broken, and it would probably be difficult to take it up again.At least the knowledge of sea navigation must be passed on, even if they don't go out in the future, isn't there still the whole vast sea for them to conquer?
After Jian Mingyu had breakfast, he took the village guards out, and the location was set at the wasteland reclamation team, where he was training and performing protection duties.The members of the guard, three of them were drawn from the boatmen, and the other seven were from the seven families who followed the Zhong family, exactly one from each family.
Before leaving Hewan Village, Jian Mingyu prepared a lot of raw materials for making bows and arrows. After such a long time, these materials have already been prepared and can be used directly.While at sea, Jian Mingyu had already made several hunting bows. Later, Zhong Qingran asked Zhao Qing for many craftsmen, and one of them was Yin Cheng, an armorer who was not very skilled. Under his guidance, he began to learn how to make a longbow.
So far, the number of hunting bows and longbows combined is enough to equip a guard of 11 people, and there are still some leftovers. As for other weapons, this is easy to handle. First, take the tops of the boatmen and wait until the iron ore is found. Let the blacksmith Replenish.If the iron ore cannot be found for a long time, then when these weapons are exhausted, they can only be replaced with wooden weapons, and the village's force will drop several levels at once.
No one wants such a thing to happen. After all, there is no iron, which will not only affect the army, but also affect the daily life of the villagers.Kitchen knives, scissors, agricultural tools...every household needs these, and no one can live without iron tools. Just thinking about the scene of working with stone tools in the future can make people feel excited.
After pulling the person to the place, Jian Mingyu led the village guards to run around the land reclamation villagers, and stopped after running for a long time.This group of people, including the three boatmen, didn't have very good stamina. If they rashly engaged in high-intensity training, they probably would have to get down soon.Not to mention that they still have to work in the afternoon, since they have the duty to guard the village, they are not allowed to do so.If they are exhausted because of training, isn't it tantamount to crippling their own arms and letting others slaughter them?
After all the village guards were active, Jian Mingyu began to teach them archery.
After a round of volley, several young boys' eyes were glued to the village guard, with indescribable envy in their eyes. After being beaten by the elders around them, they reluctantly looked away.
In the past, few people were willing to enlist them in the army. Now, the situation is obviously different. Although there are certain dangers, there will be no battles to fight in a short period of time.Besides, with such a small number of people, there is no way to fight a war, that is, to chase away the wolves and hunt the wild animals that come down from the mountains.Who wouldn't want such a good thing?It's a pity that the number of guards is too small, and one of the seven families has already left one family. It is impossible to pick people from them, and those young boys can only think about it in their hearts.
"Cry!" "Cry!"
Jian Mingyu looked up at the sky, saw the two eagles flying closer and closer, and let out a long howl.
Dianbai and Minglei responded cheerfully immediately, and after hovering over Jian Mingyu's head for a while, they swooped down and landed at his feet.
Jian Mingyu squatted down and checked carefully. Seeing that the two eagles were not injured, he sent them home to stay and feed them after Qingran woke up.
When Zhong Qingran woke up again, the sky was already bright, and when he looked at the hourglass, it was not too late, and the hour had just passed.
"Cry!" "Cry!"
As soon as he stepped out of the tent, Zhong Qingran was warmly treated by Dianbai and Minglei.Zhong Qingran felt rather flattered by the two eagles nestling directly at his feet. After he figured out what was going on, he decided to take back his previous thoughts.He thought too well, and the two eagles really lost their integrity in order to beg for food.
In fact, this is not the first time such a thing has happened. Every time Dianbai and Minglei beg for food, Zhong Qingran is not a person who remembers eating but not beating, but he didn't think about it. At that time, the two eagles had already been fed by Jian Mingyu, so why should Zhong Qingran bother about this?Today, Jian Mingyu has business to do, so he handed over this glorious task to Zhong Qingran, wouldn't Zhong Qingran be happy for nothing?
Seeing the two eagles with their wings clawing at his legs, Zhong Qingran could only surrender, he hadn't eaten yet, but he had to serve these two little ancestors first.Painful and happy, Zhong Qingran dug out the leftover prey from yesterday, cut a small piece for each of the two eagles, and then threw a few pieces into the pot to cook.
After finishing these, Zhong Qingran started to busy himself with his own affairs, he hadn't washed yet!After everything was settled, he took out the warm breakfast from the pot and began to enjoy it with relish.
The meal is very simple, three buns with cabbage and meat, plus a bowl of seafood porridge.Of course, the seafood in the porridge was not the ones he caught yesterday, they ate up the last night, but Zhong Qingzhu and Zhong Qingshu picked them up from the beach.
Last night, Zhong Qingran briefly explained the method to Jian Mingyu, but he had breakfast. Thinking of this, Zhong Qingran felt that the food tasted even better.
"Cry!" "Cry!"
"Okay, stop barking, you guys are indispensable, isn't this not cooked yet? I'll fill you up in a while." Zhong Qingran hurriedly reassured.
When he was almost done eating, he went to the stove and saw that the meat was almost cooked, so he turned it over, and then returned to the dining table, continuing to finish off the unused breakfast.
After Zhong Qingran finished his meal, the meat was just cooked through, and the time was not bad.He is not complacent about this, how can he have this ability?It's just a coincidence.
Seeing that the two eagles were full, Zhong Qingran dug out a large pile of drawing paper from the box, these were all his previous drawings.No matter how smart the two eagles are, they can only understand the words of Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu, but not the other way around. Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu don't understand eagle language, so they can only communicate with the two eagles, which is a little more complicated. You have to talk to a chicken and a duck for a long time before you can roughly understand what the other party is expressing.
Zhong Qingran didn't want to have to work so hard every time, so he made a lot of real-life paintings, including portraits of people, animals and plants such as cattle and horses. With these as assistance, it was easier to communicate.
Spreading the portraits of animals and people that might appear on the grassland on the ground, Zhong Qingran faced the two eagles and began to question them about why they didn't return overnight.
"Minglei, you went out all day yesterday, what were you up to? Come, come and tell me." Zhong Qingran followed the temptation.
Minglei didn't understand, but Zhong Qingran repeated it several times before he understood, and then he started to walk around in front of the portraits with arrogance.
After a while, Minglei stretched out his wings and pointed three times.Zhong Qingran stepped forward to take a look, and found that one was a crowd, one was a horse, and the last one was a cow.
"Ming Lei, do you mean that you saw people, cows and horses in other places?"
Ming Lei Qing Ming replied.
"Are people and cows and horses together?" Zhong Qingran said with a hint of eagerness in his tone.The question was crucial, and he had to figure it out.In fact, he doesn't need to go through such troubles, as long as he uses the ability of the lucky luck beads, he can get the answer quickly. The problem is that the speed at which he earns lucky luck here is too slow, and there are many places where he needs to use lucky luck. Zhong Qingran naturally saved as much as he could.
After another difficult exchange, Zhong Qingran finally understood Minglei's meaning.He put away all the paintings and put them back into the painting box. There seemed to be small flames beating in his eyes.
There are a lot of poultry and livestock in Fucun Village, even a lot of cattle and horses. The problem is that they are all cubs. It will take a few months for the transportation animals to come in handy. Now the animal power is seriously insufficient, and many things cannot be operated. .
No, whatever was missing, Zhong Qingran was overjoyed.
When he first learned of this information, he was afraid that these cows and horses belonged to the owner, so he was asked to take away people's property. The local residents are worried when they come into contact with them. How can they not be happy to receive such good news?
As long as it is unowned, Zhong Qingran can send people to capture it. Those who are too hot-tempered will give up. Capture the relatively mild-tempered cattle and horses. Not to mention that the safety will be improved, and they only need to be domesticated for a while. As an animal force, he would not miss such a good thing.
"Minglei, you did a great job! I will reward you with a piece of barbecued meat later." Zhong Qingran made a promise.
He knew that the two eagles were different from other eagles, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with eating cooked food with seasoning, but he didn't dare to feed them too much, for fear that eating too much would damage their lifespan.Eagles live a long life, and Zhong Qingran hopes that they will live a long time, so that they will not return to the embrace of nature early because of a little appetite.
Seeing this, Dianbai was not happy anymore, and leaned in front of Zhong Qingran.The meaning is very obvious, it also helps, and rewarding it should also have a share.
"Okay, then order one piece of white and two pieces of thunder." Zhong Qingran came up with a compromise plan.
Hearing everything, both eagles fell silent.
"Go and play by yourselves, don't leave too far, maybe you will lead the way later." Zhong Qingran let the two eagles do whatever they wanted, while he asked someone about Jian Mingyu's whereabouts, and planned to discuss with him about capturing cattle and horses.
Among the ten village guards, seven were using bows and arrows for the first time. After drawing the bow a few times, their arms became weak. Jian Mingyu asked them to jog, and the remaining three boatmen continued until their hands could no longer bear the strength. Joining the ranks of jogging together, Jian Mingyu was right behind.
If it were placed elsewhere, who would listen to a 14 and a half year old child?Here in Fucun, it's nothing more than normal.From the moment they decided to follow Zhong Qingran, there was no objection.Besides, these people don't have rebellious bones, and they don't make trouble for no reason.
When Zhong Qingran came over, what he saw was a scene of eleven people running in a line.He didn't step forward to disturb, and stood quietly watching.
After a few laps, the speed of the seven people who started running slowed down one after another, not much faster than walking.Jian Mingyu signaled them to stop and walk slowly to recover their strength, and then continue later, while the other three continued to run.
When passing by Zhong Qingran this time, Jian Mingyu stopped.
Zhong Qingran really didn't know what to say other than admiration for Jian Mingyu's effortless victory over the retired navy.
"Qingran, what do you want me to do?"
"Yeah. Minglei found a herd of bison and wild horses. After you're done, we'll take our tools and go to see the wild horses. If we can catch a few horses, it will be much easier to do things." Zhong Qingran was also helpless, he knew a production The place where the clay is located is a little far away from Fucun Village. Now there are too many places where cattle and horses are needed, and he can't spare a vehicle to pull the clay, so he can't set up a kiln to burn bricks and tiles for the time being.
"How about leaving now?" Jian Mingyu suggested.
"Are you done with your work?" Zhong Qingran glanced at the ten village guards.
"Today's training is very simple. It's okay if I'm not here. You wait for me and I will explain to them." Jian Mingyu trotted over and returned soon.
The two went back to the village first, brought all the tools they could use, and then found the two horses pulling the cart, informed the person in charge, and followed Dianbai and Minglei, and drove away.
The eagle's speed is very fast, it can fly hundreds of kilometers in half an hour, and the horse can't do it. If you don't want to tire the horse to death, the normal speed is only about eight kilometers per hour. Zhu measured the distance and saw that it was still within the tolerance range, so he set off with Jian Mingyu.Otherwise, they can't make one round trip a day, and no one can rest assured that the two of them are sleeping in the wild.
An hour and a half later, the two finally arrived at their destination.They didn't move forward either, and fell far behind the horses.After running for so long, the two horses needed to take a breather.
"Mingyu, how do you do it? Why don't you give them some drugs and tame them after they wake up?" Zhong Qingran felt that this would be the most trouble-free and safe.
Jian Mingyu nodded in agreement. Fucun needs a lot of animal power. This herd of wild horses is too far away from Fucun. The key is that they only have two horses, and they are the only ones who can ride.If he caught it directly, with the two of them alone, it might be very difficult to keep two or three horses. The most likely situation is that by the time Jian Mingyu tames a wild horse, the other horses will have already run away.
After all, Zhong Qingran's strength is normal. Although he can ride a horse, he has no experience in harnessing a horse. With his 14-year-old stature and strength, let him ride.If it wasn't for Jian Mingyu's great strength, Zhong Qingran would not have dared to let him go.
After the two agreed, Zhong Qingran used his luck to transform many tiny copper arrows, and then smeared drugs on the arrows.After everything was done, the two split up.
Zhong Qingran's arm strength was not as strong as Jian Mingyu's, and his accuracy was not as good either. He didn't choose the more agile horses, and quickly picked a target. When Jian Mingyu was in position, the two slowly approached the wild horses.Maybe it's because they haven't seen anyone, maybe they are still far away, and the wild horses don't react much to them.
When they were within the range of the bow and arrow, the two of them joined hands, and the two arrows shot towards their respective targets from two directions.After shooting an arrow, Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu had no intention of stopping, and regardless of whether they hit the target or not, they quickly shot the second arrow, followed by the third, and the fourth...until the wild horses completely escaped their trap. up to the chase range.
Since except for the first arrow and the second arrow, the rest of the arrows were shot from fast-running horses, the hit rate was not very high, Jian Mingyu could only hit six out of ten shots, and Zhong Qingran's hit rate was even lower.
The two got off their horses to check, and saw that two of the horses had broken their legs, and they were quite sorry.With such injuries, even if Zhong Qingran helped them bandage up, they would only be reduced to the rations of the wolves if they were separated from the wild horses. Rather than cheapening them, it would be better to cheapen the two of them.
Jian Mingyu simply gave the two horses a good time, and then ignored them, and together with Zhong Qingran put the rest of the wild horses in bridles.Fortunately, they had prepared a lot in advance, otherwise, they would have to wait for a while before they came to hunt the wild horses.
For the two of them at present, the difficulty of riding a horse without a rein is a bit high.Without the drug provided by Zhong Qingran, Jian Mingyu would only dare to throw the lasso.Zhong Qingran would not agree to such a difficult operation of jumping directly on the back of a wild horse. It would be too risky.
In fact, Mr. Zhong was quite worried, because Qingran treated him very well.Building walls and the like, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was done by levying corvée, so that the forced labor could be fed, and that was regarded as the supervising official's conscience. If they were like Qingran, they wouldn't There was an atmosphere of mourning in the village.
Mr. Zhong didn't want to oppress the villagers, he was just afraid that Qingran's policies would not be realized in the end, and the family's property would be exhausted. He was not worried that his family would not be able to survive, but he was afraid that Qingran would be masturbated If they go on, can they live a good life?
Qing Ran has a conscience, but other people may not be in the top position.Now everyone is looking at hello and hello, but who knows what they will become after they have tasted the taste of power?People's hearts are fickle, and just because they followed the Zhong family to this alien land, it should not be assumed that everyone will be able to live in harmony in the days to come.As long as people still have selfishness and desires, there will be struggles wherever there are people, and this has been the case since ancient times.
With a long sigh, Mr. Zhong lost to Duke Zhou and fell into a dreamland.
Zhong Qingran didn't know that Mr. Zhong was worried about his decision. He and Jian Mingyu were lying on the same bed, whispering to each other.
"Mingyu, Minglei and Dianbai haven't come back yet, I'm a little worried."
"Well, so do I. I hope they're okay. If they don't come back by noon tomorrow, we'll look for them." Jian Mingyu suggested, and Zhong Qingran immediately agreed.
Zhong Qingran yawned, seeing that the night was already deep, he didn't insist any longer, and soon fell asleep soundly, Jian Mingyu was not much slower than him.
It can be said that everything is completely silent at this time, except for the whispered conversation of the two night watchmen outside, and the occasional crackling sound of the burning firewood exploding, there is no trace of movement heard.

The meal is very simple, three buns with cabbage and meat, plus a bowl of seafood porridge.Of course, the seafood in the porridge was not the ones he caught yesterday, they ate up the last night, but Zhong Qingzhu and Zhong Qingshu picked them up from the beach.
Last night, Zhong Qingran briefly explained the method to Jian Mingyu, but he had breakfast. Thinking of this, Zhong Qingran felt that the food tasted even better.
"Cry!" "Cry!"
"Okay, stop barking, you guys are indispensable, isn't this not cooked yet? I'll fill you up in a while." Zhong Qingran hurriedly reassured.
When he was almost done eating, he went to the stove and saw that the meat was almost cooked, so he turned it over, and then returned to the dining table, continuing to finish off the unused breakfast.
After Zhong Qingran finished his meal, the meat was just cooked through, and the time was not bad.He is not complacent about this, how can he have this ability?It's just a coincidence.
Seeing that the two eagles were full, Zhong Qingran dug out a large pile of drawing paper from the box, these were all his previous drawings.No matter how smart the two eagles are, they can only understand the words of Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu, but not the other way around. Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu don't understand eagle language, so they can only communicate with the two eagles, which is a little more complicated. You have to talk to a chicken and a duck for a long time before you can roughly understand what the other party is expressing.
Zhong Qingran didn't want to have to work so hard every time, so he made a lot of real-life paintings, including portraits of people, animals and plants such as cattle and horses. With these as assistance, it was easier to communicate.
Spreading the portraits of animals and people that might appear on the grassland on the ground, Zhong Qingran faced the two eagles and began to question them about why they didn't return overnight.
"Minglei, you went out all day yesterday, what were you up to? Come, come and tell me." Zhong Qingran followed the temptation.
Minglei didn't understand, but Zhong Qingran repeated it several times before he understood, and then he started to walk around in front of the portraits with arrogance.
After a while, Minglei stretched out his wings and pointed three times.Zhong Qingran stepped forward to take a look, and found that one was a crowd, one was a horse, and the last one was a cow.
"Ming Lei, do you mean that you saw people, cows and horses in other places?"
Ming Lei Qing Ming replied.
"Are people and cows and horses together?" Zhong Qingran said with a hint of eagerness in his tone.The question was crucial, and he had to figure it out.In fact, he doesn't need to go through such troubles, as long as he uses the ability of the lucky luck beads, he can get the answer quickly. The problem is that the speed at which he earns lucky luck here is too slow, and there are many places where he needs to use lucky luck. Zhong Qingran naturally saved as much as he could.
After another difficult exchange, Zhong Qingran finally understood Minglei's meaning.He put away all the paintings and put them back into the painting box. There seemed to be small flames beating in his eyes.
There are a lot of poultry and livestock in Fucun Village, even a lot of cattle and horses. The problem is that they are all cubs. It will take a few months for the transportation animals to come in handy. Now the animal power is seriously insufficient, and many things cannot be operated. .
No, whatever was missing, Zhong Qingran was overjoyed.
When he first learned of this information, he was afraid that these cows and horses belonged to the owner, so he was asked to take away people's property. The local residents are worried when they come into contact with them. How can they not be happy to receive such good news?
As long as it is unowned, Zhong Qingran can send people to capture it. Those who are too hot-tempered will give up. Capture the relatively mild-tempered cattle and horses. Not to mention that the safety will be improved, and they only need to be domesticated for a while. As an animal force, he would not miss such a good thing.
"Minglei, you did a great job! I will reward you with a piece of barbecued meat later." Zhong Qingran made a promise.
He knew that the two eagles were different from other eagles, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with eating cooked food with seasoning, but he didn't dare to feed them too much, for fear that eating too much would damage their lifespan.Eagles live a long life, and Zhong Qingran hopes that they will live a long time, so that they will not return to the embrace of nature early because of a little appetite.
Seeing this, Dianbai was not happy anymore, and leaned in front of Zhong Qingran.The meaning is very obvious, it also helps, and rewarding it should also have a share.
"Okay, then order one piece of white and two pieces of thunder." Zhong Qingran came up with a compromise plan.
Hearing everything, both eagles fell silent.
"Go and play by yourselves, don't leave too far, maybe you will lead the way later." Zhong Qingran let the two eagles do whatever they wanted, while he asked someone about Jian Mingyu's whereabouts, and planned to discuss with him about capturing cattle and horses.
Among the ten village guards, seven were using bows and arrows for the first time. After drawing the bow a few times, their arms became weak. Jian Mingyu asked them to jog, and the remaining three boatmen continued until their hands could no longer bear the strength. Joining the ranks of jogging together, Jian Mingyu was right behind.
If it were placed elsewhere, who would listen to a 14 and a half year old child?Here in Fucun, it's nothing more than normal.From the moment they decided to follow Zhong Qingran, there was no objection.Besides, these people don't have rebellious bones, and they don't make trouble for no reason.
When Zhong Qingran came over, what he saw was a scene of eleven people running in a line.He didn't step forward to disturb, and stood quietly watching.
After a few laps, the speed of the seven people who started running slowed down one after another, not much faster than walking.Jian Mingyu signaled them to stop and walk slowly to recover their strength, and then continue later, while the other three continued to run.
When passing by Zhong Qingran this time, Jian Mingyu stopped.
Zhong Qingran really didn't know what to say other than admiration for Jian Mingyu's effortless victory over the retired navy.
"Qingran, what do you want me to do?"
"Yeah. Minglei found a herd of bison and wild horses. After you're done, we'll take our tools and go to see the wild horses. If we can catch a few horses, it will be much easier to do things." Zhong Qingran was also helpless, he knew a production The place where the clay is located is a little far away from Fucun Village. Now there are too many places where cattle and horses are needed, and he can't spare a vehicle to pull the clay, so he can't set up a kiln to burn bricks and tiles for the time being.
"How about leaving now?" Jian Mingyu suggested.
"Are you done with your work?" Zhong Qingran glanced at the ten village guards.
"Today's training is very simple. It's okay if I'm not here. You wait for me and I will explain to them." Jian Mingyu trotted over and returned soon.
The two went back to the village first, brought all the tools they could use, and then found the two horses pulling the cart, informed the person in charge, and followed Dianbai and Minglei, and drove away.
The eagle's speed is very fast, it can fly hundreds of kilometers in half an hour, and the horse can't do it. If you don't want to tire the horse to death, the normal speed is only about eight kilometers per hour. Zhu measured the distance and saw that it was still within the tolerance range, so he set off with Jian Mingyu.Otherwise, they can't make one round trip a day, and no one can rest assured that the two of them are sleeping in the wild.
An hour and a half later, the two finally arrived at their destination.They didn't move forward either, and fell far behind the horses.After running for so long, the two horses needed to take a breather.
"Mingyu, how do you do it? Why don't you give them some drugs and tame them after they wake up?" Zhong Qingran felt that this would be the most trouble-free and safe.
Jian Mingyu nodded in agreement. Fucun needs a lot of animal power. This herd of wild horses is too far away from Fucun. The key is that they only have two horses, and they are the only ones who can ride.If he caught it directly, with the two of them alone, it might be very difficult to keep two or three horses. The most likely situation is that by the time Jian Mingyu tames a wild horse, the other horses will have already run away.
After all, Zhong Qingran's strength is normal. Although he can ride a horse, he has no experience in harnessing a horse. With his 14-year-old stature and strength, let him ride.If it wasn't for Jian Mingyu's great strength, Zhong Qingran would not have dared to let him go.
After the two agreed, Zhong Qingran used his luck to transform many tiny copper arrows, and then smeared drugs on the arrows.After everything was done, the two split up.
Zhong Qingran's arm strength was not as strong as Jian Mingyu's, and his accuracy was not as good either. He didn't choose the more agile horses, and quickly picked a target. When Jian Mingyu was in position, the two slowly approached the wild horses.Maybe it's because they haven't seen anyone, maybe they are still far away, and the wild horses don't react much to them.
When they were within the range of the bow and arrow, the two of them joined hands, and the two arrows shot towards their respective targets from two directions.After shooting an arrow, Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu had no intention of stopping, and regardless of whether they hit the target or not, they quickly shot the second arrow, followed by the third, and the fourth...until the wild horses completely escaped their trap. up to the chase range.
Since except for the first arrow and the second arrow, the rest of the arrows were shot from fast-running horses, the hit rate was not very high, Jian Mingyu could only hit six out of ten shots, and Zhong Qingran's hit rate was even lower.
The two got off their horses to check, and saw that two of the horses had broken their legs, and they were quite sorry.With such injuries, even if Zhong Qingran helped them bandage up, they would only be reduced to the rations of the wolves if they were separated from the wild horses. Rather than cheapening them, it would be better to cheapen the two of them.
Jian Mingyu simply gave the two horses a good time, and then ignored them, and together with Zhong Qingran put the rest of the wild horses in bridles.Fortunately, they had prepared a lot in advance, otherwise, they would have to wait for a while before they came to hunt the wild horses.
For the two of them at present, the difficulty of riding a horse without a rein is a bit high.Without the drug provided by Zhong Qingran, Jian Mingyu would only dare to throw the lasso.Zhong Qingran would not agree to such a difficult operation of jumping directly on the back of a wild horse. It would be too risky.
