Syndicate Growth Manual

The two maidservants arranged the tent in detail, and a servant had already brought food boxes at the other end, so they washed their hands and arranged the table.Zhao Yuan came out from behind the screen in a cool little coat, stepping on clogs, and said, "Father, don't wear a smock, and there is no outsider in the house, it's so hot..."

Zhao Chen has already changed into cavalry armor, simple underwear, armor with buckles on the front and back, knee armor, and armguards. They did not hunt in the dense forest the first day, but went further Plains, where you can ride a horse and shoot a bow.

"I'm going too!" Zhao Yuanyi looked anxious, and turned to Lichun and asked, "Where's my cavalry armor? Where's the little bow?"

Zhao Chen's face suddenly sank: "I didn't let you take it! You can't even climb on the back of a horse, and your height is not as high as a horse's legs, so what are you going to do!"

Zhao Yuan quit, so why is he still here?Immediately, she covered her face with her little hands and pretended to cry, secretly watching a certain father's reaction while crying.

A certain father was extremely helpless, and he had no choice but to take him: "Tomorrow we will be surrounded by rabbits and pheasants in the woods, and then I will take you with me for my father. You can just stay in the tent in the afternoon, okay?"

After eating, Yuan Jue and Zhen Cheng came in, and they saluted Zhao Chen respectfully.

Zhao Chen's attitude was quite gentle and said: "I'm not here in the afternoon, so you stay with the elder brother. The forest is putting up a fence, fearing that tigers and wolves may come and go, remember not to enter the forest."

Before Zhencheng could say anything, Yuan Jue replied honestly: "My nephew remembers, but I just wanted to set a trap with my brother to catch rabbits, can't it work now?"

The corners of Zhao Yuan's mouth twitched, he didn't dare to look at his father's face.

A certain father glanced at him dangerously, and said to Yuan Jue with the same expression: "It's fine to catch rabbits, I'll ask Jia Xun to take you there, you can't run around by yourself."

Several people answered yes.

Zhao Chen set off on the front foot, and they slipped out on the back foot.The camp is very large, and there is a distance between each house. At this time, there are still many tents that have not been set up, and there is a lot of noise in the distance.

They circled all the way to the back of the tent and looked at the ditch with their hips akimbo.This trench is three meters wide and two meters deep. How do we get across?

Yuan Jue scratched his head: "Why don't we go to Jia Xun?"

Zhao Yuan shook his head resolutely: "Jiaxun was ordered to guard the camp, so he will definitely not take us into the woods and not look for him." He turned to look at Zhencheng, "Ah Cheng, what do you think?"

Zhencheng thought for a while, and said slowly: "I think, we can just find two wooden planks and climb across."

He has always been good at obedience and disobedience. Superficial promises are superficial things, but how to do them behind the scenes is another matter.There was a lot of wood in the camp, and there was a pile of wood next to the camp of the Zhongjun Mansion, and the three of them worked together to drag the wood boards, and passed easily.They were not stupid, since Zhao Chen said that the forest was dangerous, they stayed at the edge, even if there were real beasts, they would still have time to call someone.

They got into the woods, the woods near the valley were sparse, because there were hunting activities every year, and there were several paths hidden in the bushes, and there were traces of cutting with knives and axes.

"Shh..." Yuan Jue was experienced and led them to squat next to the bushes.I don't know if it's because people often come to this area, those rabbits are not afraid of people, and just entered the forest, they found a few groups of furry things moving under the bushes in the distance.

Zhencheng asked in a low voice, "Aren't we going to catch rabbits?"

Zhao Yuan patted him and told him to be quiet: "Can you jump over rabbits? You have to see if their nests are nearby, so you can decide where to lay a trap!"

Yuan Jue had no distractions, and after a while turned around to discuss with Zhao Yuan: "I see that the nest is nearby, and they stay here all the time, so they can be a trap here."

"Then try it." Zhao Yuan signaled everyone to go a little further, and then took something out of his backpack, "Should we do it together, or should we do it separately?"

Zhen Cheng had never made a trap himself, only seen others catch a fox. Although Yuan Jue hadn't tried it in the forest, he had set a trap by himself.Zhao Yuan... It's all thanks to his previous life that he was able to trap.

Yuan Jue looked at Zhao Yuan's pile of twigs and said, "Everyone does his own thing, and we will see who catches the prey first!" His trap is very simple. Cover the pit with branches, leaves and a little floating soil, and put a little food on top.The traps in the border town are simpler than here, and they don't use leaves to float the soil, just pile sand on the branches.

Zhao Yuan wandered around, found a branch with twigs, and carefully cut off those twigs with a knife, leaving only the fork-shaped main branch, forked on both sides of the path, and those broken branches were not wasted, inserted on both sides of the trap , In this way, the rabbit can't get through from both sides, so it can only pass through the middle of the tree fork, and then use a strong rope to make a noose and tie it to the tree fork, leaving a gap below, and inserting small branches.

Zhencheng squatted aside to watch, wondering: "Is it that simple?"

"Why is it complicated?" Zhao Yuan adjusted the lasso and said absent-mindedly, "I have caught many rabbits with this method, otherwise how could their heads grow so tall without meat?"

"No meat to eat?" Zhencheng was puzzled, "We don't eat less meat every day."

Zhao Yuan reacted abruptly, and silently gave himself a bad review.Why did he get confused again... In his previous life, apart from not being able to eat as much as he wanted, and having no money to look at people's faces, he actually didn't suffer too much, so why can't he forget it all the time.

He cheered up, stood up and said, "Go! Let's go and see A Jue!"

Yuan Jue had already made a trap, and was gently placing a few slices of candied meat in the middle of the trap.Zhao Yuan went over to have a look, and felt that his method was not only laborious to dig a hole, but also could be reused, which had some merits.

"Let's see at night, let's go back first." He was a little worried that Lichun and the others would come back to Jiaxun's place if they never saw anyone, and then his father would know that he was disobedient.

When they made the trap just now, they walked a little over a hundred meters into the woods, winding and twisting. When they returned, they felt that they had gone too far. If there was no obvious path, they might not know where they would go.However, just as they passed by the bushes where they saw the rabbit just now, suddenly a cold arrow flew past them through the bushes with a whistling sound, and was nailed to the tree trunk on the left, the arrow feathers trembling endlessly!

At the same time, there were screams and the sound of clothes rubbing in the distant forest.

The three children were petrified by this scene, especially Yuan Jue.He is the tallest, if they had walked faster just now, the arrow would have passed by the top of his head, and a piece of his scalp would have been taken off no matter what!

After all, Zhao Yuan was mentally older, so he quickly realized that he hid in the bushes beside them by dragging their waists.Fortunately, they are all children, and they are only so big when they are curled up, and they are tightly covered.

"Don't make a sound... Please cover your mouth..." His face turned pale, and he whispered to Yuan Jue and Zhencheng almost in a whisper. The three children huddled tightly like small animals avoiding hunters, covering their mouths. The mouth can also see the horror on the face.

Yuan Jue Zhencheng is still in kindergarten at this age, no matter how precocious they are, it doesn't include facing such a danger, they dare not move at all, Zhao Yuanrang can do whatever he wants.

Zhao Yuan's heart was pounding, and he regretted it for a moment. He should have listened to his father, but he was the only one, but he also brought A Jue and the others into trouble.

The sound in the distance was getting closer, and it sounded like several people were walking this way through the bushes.Zhao Yuan calmed down for a moment, then suddenly remembered the trap they set up just now, his head went blank, and cold sweat dripped down his face.

It's over!If those people found the trap and saw that it was just set up, they would definitely search around!

He glanced at the two children with red eyes, gritted his teeth and carefully pushed aside some leaves to look into the distance. After a while, four people in black clothes appeared in his narrow field of vision.Those people were dressed in uniform and held bows in their hands, as if they were arguing.When they were only seven or eight meters away from the hiding place of Zhao Yuan and the others, Zhao Yuan could vaguely hear what they were saying.

One of them said: "...Now there are only a few of us, and we have caught people. Could it be that we can get out of the valley smoothly?"

Another person retorted: "How can you disobey the Lord's order, how can you know that going back is not a death!"

Everyone was silent for a moment, and the third person said: "In any case, we can't stay in this area anymore, sooner or later someone will be found missing."

So the fourth person said: "Let's go, in case... Confession, none of us will be able to leave by then, we have to..."

Zhao Yuan held his breath, opened his fingers lightly, and the branches returned to their original positions.He listened carefully, those people passed by them, stopped for some reason on the left, and then returned along the same road without hesitation.He made a silent gesture to Yuan Jue Zhencheng, and continued to hide until they lost all feeling in their legs, and even the woods began to darken.

"You stay here and don't move, I'll go out and have a look." He said softly.

Zhencheng reached out and grabbed him, saying in fear: "Don't go! In case they don't leave..." Yuan Jue also looked at him pitifully, like a puppy abandoned by its owner.

Zhao Yuan patted Zhencheng's hand reassuringly, and got out of the bush decisively.It was much darker in the woods, except for a messy path opened by those people when they came, the other places were no different.He remembered something, looked to the left, and sure enough, the cold arrow nailed to the tree was gone.He couldn't help but feel a little pity, there were probably some marks on the arrow, if he had paid more attention at that time, maybe he could have gotten some more clues.

He stayed outside for a long time, and after making sure there was no danger, he asked Yuan Jue and the others to come out.

"Go and destroy the trap." He was silent for a few seconds and said seriously to Yuan Jue.

Yuan Jue nodded.Zhao Yuan said it was simple, Zhencheng helped Yuan Jue refill the hole together, and sprinkled floating soil on the surface, so it was almost invisible before giving up.They didn't dare to delay any longer, they groped their way out of the forest in fear, Zhao Yuan was careful and tried to clean up the traces of anyone's presence along the way.The boards on the trench were still there. They walked over a few steps and dragged the boards back.
