[Comprehensive Water Margin] Female supporting role is not bad

The gears of time never stop, and in the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

Ni Xi is 16 years old, and Hu Cheng, the two of them have gained a great reputation in hundreds of miles around here, and they are listed as the two heroes of the Hu family, especially Ni Xi's long whip and saber technique cooperate with each other, and every time they beat people like a bereaved dog, they are frightened.And Hu Cheng's arrow technique has also been greatly improved, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps.

It's not that there were unconvinced people who came to challenge Ni Xi, including some passers-by in the Jianghu, but these people all lost miserably.

She didn't use the sun and moon swords that the original owner used to use. After all, she loves the long whip more than the sword technique. Ni Xi also specially found a skilled craftsman to tailor a soft whip made of beef tendon for her. The whip dances It looks as flexible and tough as a snake. When not in use, it looks like a belt instead of wearing it around the waist. There is also a button on the handle. As long as you press the whip, barbs will appear, and the lethality is greatly improved. However, Ni Xi intends to use this function in life Reuse when it matters.

And these years, Taigong Hu has gradually handed over the affairs of Hu's family estate to his brother and sister, and retired behind him. With this pair of good sons and daughters, he is also happy and leisurely.

Who told Zhujiazhuang next door that the old man Zhu always liked to show off how powerful his three sons are, and his children are no worse than the three heroes of the Zhu family.Look, now the old man doesn't have to worry about anything when he is fishing and having fun every day. Everything will be done by his sons and daughters, so I wish the old man secretly envied his leisure.

After Taigong Hu delegated power, Ni Xi also began to flex her muscles. Before, it was because she was too young to be convinced by her words. Now that Hujiazhuang is in the hands of her and Hu Cheng, as long as it is not too much, Taigong Hu will be whatever they want.

And there are more than 5000 tenants inside and outside the Hujiazhuang, including the old and weak, women and children, there are also nearly [-] middle-aged men. As long as they operate properly, they will be a considerable force in the future.

Since Ni Xi had inadvertently suggested interplanting techniques to Taigong Hu three years ago, such as interplanting soybeans or sweet potatoes under sorghum, and interplanting cotton with wheat, the harvest of each tenant has improved by more than half compared with previous years, and the grain output also greatly improved.

The other is about the water wheel, as an important tool for irrigating food crops, since the Eastern Han Dynasty began to use it, and now people have learned to use water as power. It is not easy to use.

Ni Xi improved the waterwheel and added two sets of gears, so that even if the amount of water is not enough, it is still possible to use cattle or horses as power to drive the waterwheel, which greatly saves the time of the tenants.

The harvest is good, and everyone can live and work in peace and contentment. At this time, Ni Xi's reputation in Hujiazhuang is already convincing.She began to ask people to bulldoze the acre of land in Zhuangkou and build it into a martial arts training ground, calling on the young and strong to spend two hours every morning and evening to practice martial arts in the martial arts ground. Anyone who comes can enjoy a part of the tax reduction.

Hu Taigong disagreed with this decision at first, because the tenant's biggest job was to grow crops, so wasting time on practicing martial arts would be a waste of time.

Ni Xi began to answer Mr. Hu's doubts, "Father, I don't know, although our Hu family village is relatively comfortable now, but my daughter heard that there is a group of strong men gathered in Liangshanpo not far from here, and they usually rob houses. We are here. Why don't we prepare in advance, so that even if there is good or bad, we will not be afraid."

Hu Taigong disagreed: "Sanniang, you are too worried. I have heard of the little old man in Liangshanpo you mentioned before. The leader is a sour scholar who seems to be called a white-clothed scholar Wang Lun. The people under him are just some small fish. No climate."

Ni Xi shook her head. It would be great if Liang Shanbo really belonged to Wang Lun's group. She has been following the news about Liang Shanbo. Just a few days ago, the news came that Liang Shanbo had changed hands and was replaced by Chao Gai. Gai being the head of the family means that it won't be long before Song Jiang will go to Liangshan, and then other people will slowly gather in Liangshanpo, and finally grow into a force that even the emperor has a headache.

In fact, Chao Gai is a person Ni Xi admires a little bit. He is daring to do something, and he has the courage to be a man who is in charge. What's more, he values ​​love and righteousness, and he has his own principles and bottom line in doing things.

In the original book, Shixiu and Yang Xiong, Shiqian, originally planned to go to Liangshanbo, but when they passed by the Zhujia Inn, Shiqian stole the chicken from the store with unclean hands and feet and had to report to Xiaoxiao to eat it.Afterwards, he refused to admit it, and after a conflict with the shop boy, the three set fire to the shop. They were chased and killed by the people of Zhujiazhuang, and Shi Qian was accidentally captured. Later, Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu went to Liangshan to save Shiqian and asked the people of Liangshanpo for help. .

But Chao Gai, who heard what had happened, was furious, and scolded Shi Qian and the three of them for ruining Liang Shanbo's reputation and doing some sneaky things. He was about to kill the two, but was stopped by Song Jiang. It's home.

If it hadn't been for Song Jiang who came up from behind and emptied Chao Gai, I am afraid that the bloodbath of Hujiazhuang later would not have happened. It was Song Jiang's blind connivance to some people in Liangshan that caused the tragedy.

Ni Xi originally wanted to send someone to deal with Song Jiang before he went to Liangshan, but thought that there might be some changes when the mountains are high and the road is far away. Ni Xi's target is not only Song Jiang, but also everyone else in Liangshan.

If Song Jiang is solved, what will happen if other people don't go to Liangshan? At that time, they will have to search for people all over the world. The goals are too scattered, so let's wait.Moreover, Liangshanbo is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it's better to wait until the people of Liangshanbo come to attack here, one by one, one pair to solve one pair, and I just took this opportunity to give them a nest. Very confident.

I have worked so hard for so many years, just for that day, so why not hurry up.

Ni Xi analyzed Liang Shanbo's current situation to Hu Taigong, and said that although Chao Gai and his gang were not enough to be afraid of, Chao Gai made many friends in the rivers and lakes. Unlike Wang Lun, I am afraid that more people will join him in the future Liangshanbo, Liangshanbo will not be a small force by then.

In addition, the Jin people are eyeing the great Song Dynasty, and war may break out at any time. If you don't hurry up and strengthen yourself now, it will be the ordinary people like them who will suffer in the future.

Seeing the seriousness of Ni Xi's words of righteousness, Hu Taigong already believed in his heart. His daughter was born smart and could not be wrong, so he stopped to stop her.As for the money, the Hu family village was passed down from generation to generation, with a profound heritage, such a small expense is really nothing.

With Hu Taigong's consent, the whole village's martial arts practice was carried out smoothly, and no one had much objection. After all, it only took two hours a day, and it would not delay the crops in the field. Why not do it?Thinking about it this way, everyone basically took action, went to the martial arts field to report on time every day, and began to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies under Ni Xi's teaching.

Due to the large number of people, even if Ni Xi asked Shang Hucheng to help him, he was unable to do what he wanted. After half a month of implementation, Ni Xi eliminated those who fished for three days and posted on the net for two days, and selected [-] outstanding performers. man.

The smaller the number, the easier it is to teach. After exempting the 30 men from tax, she focused on educating the 30 men all day, teaching them how to use weapons and some combat methods.The fields are taken care of by the family members, and there is no need to pay rent. There is no need to worry about the future. These [-] people practice martial arts even harder. After seeing Ni Xi's martial arts, they are already convinced.

These 30 people are Ni Xi's key training objects, and they will also be the main force of the Hu family village in the future. Ni Xi is dedicated to teaching them.She also divided the 3000 people into 100 teams, each with [-] people, and those [-] outstanding performers would be the captains.Below them, every ten people are divided into a small team, and the small team leader is in charge of the team members.

What Ni Xi taught these 30 people, these 30 people taught those small leaders, and the small leaders taught the team members under him.In this way, everyone will understand and Ni Xi's task will be much easier. She only needs to go to inspect when everyone is practicing martial arts. Fortunately, the people in Hujiazhuang are simple and serious, and no one makes trouble. This fulfilled Ni Xi's goal of making all the people martial.

After a long time, everyone has adapted to this kind of life, just like breathing air, it has become a daily habit.The people in Hujiazhuang, under the trend of practicing martial arts in the whole village, their daily conversations have changed a pattern.

In the past, everyone would say "Have you eaten?" "Today's weather is very good." "My crops..." and so on.

Now the daily chat becomes:

Tenant A frowned: "What should I do? I feel that many moves are not yet proficient, and I will definitely not pass the end-of-month assessment in a few days. What about you?"

Tenant B smugly smiled: I must be better than your elm-headed one, I have almost remembered it a long time ago, and I will definitely pass the assessment! "

Tenant A turned around angrily: You actually said that I have a elm head, next time you don't want to rely on my family's wine again!

When tenant B heard this, he hurriedly stopped: Don't, don't, I was wrong, I'll teach you more in the past two days, you should do it!

"A word is settled!"

Tenant A turned his anger into joy, and went back shoulder to shoulder with tenant B.

……

There are many situations like this in Hujiazhuang. If you want to ask what the men in Hujiazhuang are most afraid of now?

The answer - month-end assessment!

That's right, Ni Xi has stipulated that there will be an assessment at the end of each month to test everyone's learning achievements in the past month, and those who pass the test will receive a little red flower. Redeem certain material rewards.As for those who failed to pass the customs, it was fine, but they were punished to stand for two hours on the road that everyone must pass through Zhuangzikou.This punishment is not heavy, the important thing is to lose face.

Think about it, a big man was fined to stand, and someone next to him beat gongs and drums and said that he was the loser of the month-end assessment, and then the whole village came to watch, pointing and pointing, including his own relatives Looking at it with my wife and children, what a shame, I was completely humiliated.

After returning home, the child would open his big innocent eyes and ask why other people's fathers were not punished but his own father was punished to stand. At that time, the father was really ashamed in front of the children.

So for the month-end assessment, everyone worked hard.

The development of Hujiazhuang is moving forward steadily, and Ni Xi begins to pay attention to making good friends with the two neighbors. After all, there are many people and strength, one chopstick is easy to break, two chopsticks will not break, and three chopsticks are even less likely to break.

There are three hills in front of Dulonggang, and there are three villages. The middle one is Zhujiazhuang, the east is Lijiazhuang, and the west is Hujiazhuang where Nixi is located.

Zhujiazhuang has the largest number of people, about 8000 people, occupying the majority. The owner of the village is called Zhu Chaofeng, and a teacher is called Tie Bang Luan Tingyu. He has three sons, named Zhu's Sanjie, the eldest son Zhu Long, and the second son Zhu Hu , the third son Zhu Biao.Among them, Zhu Biao's martial arts is the most powerful, but Ni Xi is noncommittal as to how strong he is.However, it allowed Song Jiang to attack Zhujiazhuang three times, and finally used the traitor plan to take down Zhujiazhuang. The overall strength of Zhujiazhuang is already considered powerful.

As for the Lijiazhuang, the owner's name is Li Ying, who wields a steel gun with a muddy iron point, and has five flying knives hidden in his back. In the world, he is called Li Ying, a sky-beating eagle, and he is more cautious.

The three Zhuangzi seldom communicate with each other on weekdays, and they are clearly separated.Nixi has not been to Lijiazhuang, but Nixi has been to Zhujiazhuang once, thanks to Zhu Biao.

Since Zhu Biao was defeated by Ni Xi five years ago, he has become more and more courageous in his battles. After a while, he will come to Ni Xi again to seek abuse. If he loses, he will fight and lose again. I admire his perseverance.

But the fate is really wonderful, we don't know each other without fighting, and the number of times we come, Zhu Biao and Ni Xi Hucheng are also familiar with each other, this kind of familiarity is like this.

"coming?"

"coming."

……

After playing.

"Let's go after dinner."

"okay."

Zhu Biao has almost become a regular visitor to this Hu's village, unless Zhu Biao doesn't come for a long time, everyone will feel that it is abnormal.But after getting to know him for a long time, I found that apart from his usual arrogance, he is still a nice person who can be friends with.

Except for one thing, it would be better if he didn't propose marriage to Taigong Hu.

Ni Xi doesn't know what Zhu Biao thinks, don't men like gentle and careless women? In this way, Zhu Biao still often dangles in front of him.

Originally, Ni Xi didn't think there was anything wrong, but that day Zhu Biao invited her to visit Zhujiazhuang with great interest, and Ni Xi went there without thinking too much. After all, she was quite curious about the biggest Zhujiazhuang.

I went to see that Zhujiazhuang is really good. The gate of Zhujiazhuang is built on a hill. There are three layers of city walls, all of which are built with stubborn stones. It is about two feet high. The shack, with guns, knives and weapons stuck all over the bottom, is very imposing.

This kind of construction can be said that without the permission of the inside, people from the outside can't enter at all, and it can be both defensive. No wonder Song Jiang almost died in Zhujiazhuang.

And there is a special world in the village. Many people are practicing martial arts in the spacious martial arts field. There are dealers coming and going, and there are guards at the front and rear gates, which are not owned by ordinary Zhuangzi.

When Ni Xi decided to go back, he had to rectify his own Zhuangzi. At the very least, he had to build it stronger, so as not to be destroyed when he attacked.

When visiting Zhujiazhuang, Ni Xi also met Zhu Biao's two elder brothers, Zhu Long and Zhu Hu, both of whom were born tall, mighty and full of strength.After knowing that Ni Xi is the legendary Miss Hu Sanniang, the two of them winked at Zhu Biao for a while, and finally Zhu Biao forced him to drive him away.

After the two left, Zhu Biao suddenly became uncomfortable and stumbled when he spoke. From time to time, he secretly looked at Ni Xi with his eyes, as if he wanted to say something but dared not say it.

He is obviously a handsome and extraordinary young man, but suddenly he is so awkward, it is really unbelievable.

Ni Xi was baffled, and frowned, "What do you want to say?"

Zhu Biaojun blushed, and quickly shook his head: "No...it's okay." After that, he quickly glanced at Ni Xi, and then turned his head quickly, for fear of being seen by Ni Xi.

Ni Xi rolled her eyes speechlessly, Zhu Biao didn't want to say it, she didn't bother to listen.

After the visit, the redness on Zhu Biao's face hadn't faded. Seeing that Ni Xi was about to go back, he hesitated for a moment, and summoned up his courage to ask, "San Niang, what do you think of this place?"

Ni Xi replied casually: "It's pretty good." It's not a bad trip this time, it's a good experience.

Hearing what Ni Xi said, Zhu Biao relaxed a little: "That's good."

What is it?

Ni Xi felt that Zhu Biao was acting weird today, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

But she didn't think about it too much, she hummed a few times and hurried back.

She is going to rush to build a great cause!

Unexpectedly, as soon as I went back, I found that there were guests at home, and they were talking with Taigong Hu.It was an old man with gray beard in a long gown, and his voice was loud, and his laughter could be heard from far away.

As soon as Mr. Hu introduced it, Ni Xi knew that this was Zhu Chaofeng, the head of Zhujiazhuang.

She couldn't help being a little strange, going to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, why did the head of Zhujiazhuang come here?

Zhu Chaofeng took a meaningful look at Ni Xi, nodded in satisfaction, and praised with a smile: "The grandpa has such an outstanding daughter, I am really envious."

Hu Taigong's proud beard was almost up to the sky, but he still pretended to be modest and said: "Where is the name of the three heroes of the Zhu family..."

Ni Xi saw that the two had started the mode of flattering each other, and silently withdrew.

After Zhu Chaofeng left, Ni Xi found out that Zhu Chaofeng had come to propose marriage on behalf of his son Zhu Biao.

No wonder Zhu Biao was acting weird all day today, he already knew his feelings!

Although Zhu Biao is Hu Sanniang's fiancé in the original book, it's a pity that the two have nothing to do with each other, but God knows that she has no intention of renewing their relationship with Zhu Biao.

Of course, when Taigong Hu asked about it, Ni Xi chose to refuse.

Although Zhu Biao is good, looks good and has good martial arts skills, he is a good match in many people's minds, but this fact is very sudden, and this life is the most free time for Ni Xi, there are not so many constraints, and he can do whatever he wants Do what she wants to do, she has not thought about getting married yet.

Fortunately, Taigong Hu did not agree to the marriage at that time, he only said to let his daughter consider it.Therefore, after Ni Xi refused, although Taigong Hu felt sorry, he did not force her, but only said that she could think about it.

After rejecting the marriage, Ni Xi devoted all her attention to building Hu's Villa.Hujiazhuang is on the mountainside, without Zhujiazhuang's natural advantage of being at a high place, so she has to work harder on defense. She began to design blueprints and find craftsmen to do it according to her own ideas.

After all, Ni Xi is a layman, and there are still many shortcomings in the design drawings. However, after continuous communication with the craftsmen, the drawings have been improved a lot and are better than the original ones. At the same time as Zhuanzhuangzi was expanded, not only three layers of tall and strong stone walls were added outside. , There are dense steel needles placed on the top of each wall, even if someone wants to break through the encirclement, they will die miserably.Ni Xi is very satisfied with this result.

The huge project of building Zhuangzi was going on without any hassle. As for Zhu Biao, after knowing that Ni Xi refused, he might have been hit. He was very depressed for a while and never appeared in front of Ni Xi again.

The people who used to come here suddenly stopped coming, which made Ni Xi not used to it for a while, but this is also good, so as not to be awkward when meeting each other, after all, Zhu Biao also needs face.

But Ni Xi didn't stop at getting along with the other two villages. During festivals, or when there are happy events on both sides, Ni Xi sent people to prepare gifts. It was more or less a wish. As long as you are doing it, others can always see it. arrived.Ni Xi's actions broke the stalemate of the three villages not communicating with each other. Lijiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang also began to imitate Ni Xi's gifts to the other two villages, and they often exchanged letters. Finally, they are not so unfamiliar.

The days are still going on, ordinary but full of hope.In a blink of an eye, it was another two years.
