Jia She's eldest son of the Red Chamber

Uncle Zhang’s lesson is a lesson, but he seemed to reflect on his attitude towards his younger brother a little bit. After a few days, he finally gave Zhang Xiaodi a nickname, called Zhang Xu, which means rising from the sun, which shows how much he attaches importance to his younger brother. .

In addition, Jia Amnesty was solemnly invited to testify, and the younger brother was recorded in the genealogy. From then on, it will be the real Zhang family.

Zhang Xiaodi's eyes are shining, and the corners of his mouth are almost grinning. Although he is young, he also knows the meaning of entering the family tree.

Although Jia Amnesty was an outsider, he also smiled slightly. According to him, although the younger brother is a concubine, he is the only male in the third generation of the Zhang family. When he was in good health, he often complained about this matter, complaining that his elder brother was too good-faced and didn't take the child seriously.

Most of the people agreed that Uncle Zhang included the younger brother in the genealogy, but Aunt Zhang's face changed slightly, and her expression was a little bit bad, and she hurried back to the room afterwards, which made Uncle Zhang feel ashamed.

Uncle Zhang is a straight man of steel, even his head is straight, let alone coaxing Aunt Zhang, so the old couple quarreled for several days.

Even cousin Zhang helped her own mother. Although she didn't say anything bad, she looked at Brother Xu with a bit of unfriendly eyes. Uncle Zhang has a good face, and he doesn't think it's worth giving his younger brother a name. What, in a fit of rage, he simply took Jia Hu and his younger brother to Zhuangzi.

The Zhang family has always paid attention to practice. After all, to be a generation of courtiers, you must go to various places. If you don’t know the five grains, you don’t know how to farm, and you can’t even provide the people with basic food and clothing. How can you be a good one? What about magistrates?

In addition to watching the homework of Jia Hu and Zhang Xiaodi, Uncle Zhang didn't forget to take the two children to Zhuangzi to learn farming.

At that time, Jia She helped Uncle Zhang to set up a small village in Liaoyang Prefecture. Although the Northeast is famous for its black soil and fertile land, it is too cold in the Northeast, and there are not many days to grow food, and the current grain is also the so-called This kind of ancient grain grows slowly. Even with such a small Zhuangzi, the Zhang family can barely make ends meet.

Even so, there are many kinds of crops planted in Zhuangzi. Uncle Zhang not only invited old farmers to help explain the various crops in detail, but also let the two children try them.

Of course, Uncle Zhang is not so perverted as to let the two children farm, but it is just to let the two children try it, so that they will not be able to distinguish the five grains.

Without the eldest aunt around, the little cousin was much more lively, and soon became very familiar with the children in the village. After all, Jia Hu is a fake child, and he is far inferior to him in this point, but most of the children are on the contrary. Convince Jia Hu more.

One is that he is the oldest among all the children, and he is also the son of the master's family. Although these farmers don't know Jia Hu's identity, they also see that Jia Hu is more embarrassing in front of Uncle Zhang than Zhang Xiaodi, so they went Subconsciously followed Jia Hu and listened to Jia Hu's words.

The second is that Jia Hu is rich in knowledge. Although these children don't know much about archaeology, and they don't understand the historical stories that Jia Hu said, Jia Hu grew up in the era of knowledge explosion after all, so even casual words are enough Fool these kids.

Three, and the most important point, Jia Hu is rich! ! !

Compared with Zhang Xu, who didn't have much pocket money, Jia Hu was really rich. Even with his generosity, he was willing to give some snacks to the children. The children also liked to play with him.

As the saying goes, there are comings and goings, children eat too much snacks from Jia Hu, and the children are not sensible, but the adults are not willing to let the children take advantage of it all the time. The fruit also happened to be in season, and many people picked a lot of sweet and delicious wild fruits as gifts in return.

Jia Hu tasted it, and although the sweetness was not as strong as those genetically modified fruits in later generations, it was still sweet and sour, so he spent a few pennies and asked the children in the nearby village to help him collect berries, such as mountain grapes, mangosteen, etc. Pots, shandingzi, and wild strawberries are all good.

Of course Jia Hu collects the most mountain grapes. Mountain grapes are sour, even the children who lack food and clothing in the village don't like to eat them, but they are good for wine making.

As for raspberries and shandingzi, they can be used to make jam. Thanks to the explosion of modern knowledge, even if Jia Hu has never made jam, he still knows the general method. Although a lot was wasted at the beginning, the finished product is not bad. Stable, Mrs. He in the kitchen would feel sorry for Jia Hu wasting things at first, but she got used to it over time.

Because Jia Hu was willing to use materials, the jam he made was bright in color and sweet in taste. Jia Hu tried it, and the taste was not inferior to modern jams. He quickly asked someone to take a few bottles back to his father and Uncle Wang. I didn't even forget to ask my aunt, and at the same time, I didn't forget to remind them that this jam won't last long and must be used as soon as possible.

Uncle Zhang also tasted a little curiously, and it was really sweet and delicious, with a lingering fragrance on his teeth and cheeks. Even Uncle Zhang, who never liked sweets, couldn't help but ate half of the bottle in one go.

If Brother Zhang hadn't been in a hurry and couldn't help tugging at the corner of Uncle Zhang's clothes, maybe Uncle Zhang would have eaten the whole bottle.

Uncle Zhang looked at what Jia Hu made, thoughtfully, "This tastes good, if you sell it, you can exchange it for some money, and it will add some income to the farmers."

The implication is that I really want to teach farmers how to make jam so that they can increase their income.

Jia Hu shook his head, but rather disagreed, "It's not difficult to make jam, the hard part is whether you are willing to use the ingredients, not to mention anything else, just this sugar, I'm afraid ordinary farmers would be reluctant to use it, but this sugar once If there is less, there will be problems with antisepsis, not to mention if things are broken, the more troublesome thing is that you will eat your stomach, or your family will try it."

Jia Hu can bluntly say that other than him, most people would be reluctant to use so much sugar to make this jam. Sister-in-law's temperament, if she doesn't sprinkle a handful of sugar, she will pinch a few pinches of sugar and put it back into the sugar jar.

Even sister-in-law He, a servant girl who was born in the Rongguo Mansion, was like this, let alone an ordinary peasant woman.

The embalming is not done well, the most obvious problem is diarrhea, which can even kill people in severe cases. In this era of lack of medicine, Jia Hu thinks that the latter is more likely to happen. Money is good, but Jia Hu is more Don't want to get in trouble.

He would rather not earn this money than get involved in any lawsuits, and besides, he really can't earn much money.

Although the jam is delicious, there are not many rich families in Liaoyang Mansion. Most of them are struggling on the line of food and clothing. Not many people will buy this stuff after it is made.

Furthermore, sugar in this era is not cheap, and the cost of this jam is much higher than in modern times. Even if he later used honey instead of stone honey, the cost was not reduced much, after deducting the cost and the necessary Shops and employees, Jia Hu did some calculations, but they really didn't make much money.

Of course, if he restores the preservatives, lowers the price of sugar, builds a jam factory directly, and sells the jam to Beijing or the Jiangnan area, this business can also be done, but this will have to wait until he grows up. Let's talk about it, otherwise, even with the backing of the Rongguo Mansion as a child, he will never be able to keep him.

Uncle Zhang did some calculations, and he knew that it was not easy to do, so he could do nothing more. He comforted himself, Brother Hu, this kid is really grown up, he only thought that this jam could help farmers earn more money, but it didn’t count How much money can be earned, is it worthwhile... and so on.

Uncle Zhang sighed, "Brother Hu has really grown up."

He is more considerate than his uncle, but... Uncle Zhang changed his tone, "This jam and everything are all trails, and you should focus on schoolwork on weekdays. Uncle brought you to Zhuangzi to learn farming, not Come here to eat and drink, you should go to the fields tomorrow and learn from the old farmer."

Continue to omit [-] words below.

Jia Hu and Zhang Xiaodi looked at each other, and said yes helplessly at the same time.

Although I know that my uncle is kind, but...every time I encounter this situation, Jia Hu really wants to ask, uncle, is your mouth sour or thirsty?

His ears are tired.

Just as Jia Hu and Zhang Xiaodi were like eggplants beaten by Shuang, and were about to go back to writing obediently, several children who were helping to collect wild fruits suddenly ran in chirping.

The leader, Chen Erniu, saw Jia Hu and Zhang Xiaodi from a distance, and asked quickly, "Brother Hu, Brother Xu, have you seen Li Daya?"

"Li Duck!?" Jia Hu frowned slightly and asked, "Isn't he in the village?"

Li Daya is also a child in Zhuangzi. There is only one mother in the family, and his father is also a soldier. He died on the battlefield a few years ago. , In addition, he also relied on several of his father's early comrades-in-arms to help.

Even so, the Li family is also very poor. Among the few children in Zhuangzi, Li Daya's clothes are the most dilapidated.As the saying goes, children from poor families are in charge of the family early, and it is the same when it falls on Li Daya. Li Daya is the one who collects wild fruits most seriously on weekdays.

Children have never had much patience, even if they have money to earn, plus the jams Jia Hu rewards, it is not bad for children to collect a basket of wild fruits in a day, but Li Daya can collect two baskets by himself. Sometimes if you are lucky, you can collect three baskets, which shows that you are serious.

Chen Erniu is the neighbor of Li's family. He knows best whether Li Daya has returned, but he shook his head and said, "Da Ya said to pick wild fruits, but he still hasn't come back after picking them. Mother Da Ya is going crazy." !"

Jia Hu frowned, "You haven't gone back yet?"

No, he asked people to pick wild fruits to make jam and wine. He was particular about timeliness. The last bottle of jam today had been boiled for a while, so Li Daya had no reason not to send back the wild fruits at this time.

"That's right." Chen Erniu said anxiously, "We've almost picked all the wild fruits nearby. His mother is afraid that he will go to the mountains to pick them, so she is in a hurry."

Hearing this, Uncle Zhang couldn't help stomping his feet, "How did you get into the mountains?"

It's fine for a few children to drill in the wild forest at the foot of the mountain on weekdays, but what if something happens when they go deep into the mountains?town

Uncle Zhang complained in his heart, if he had known earlier, he shouldn't have let Brother Hu mess around and make some kind of jam, if a child really died for picking wild fruits, then his crime would be serious.

Uncle Zhang hurriedly said, "This matter should not be underestimated. I will let Zhuangtou arrange for people to go to the mountains to look for it together."

"Uncle!" Jia Hu mused, "I'm going too!"

"You'd better stay at home." Uncle Zhang objected subconsciously, he had already lost a child, if Brother Hu also had an accident, how could he explain to Jia Amnesty.

Although Uncle Zhang is a scholar, he also has the integrity of a scholar, but he also understands in his heart that the Zhang family can gain a foothold in Liaoyang Mansion, most of it is thanks to the help of Jia Amnesty. Zi that can live a stable life now.

Also because of this, as long as he doesn't go too far with Brother Hu's outrageous behavior, he will mostly turn a blind eye and let him go if he doesn't, then Brother Hu will go into the kitchen to mess around.

Jia Hu said sternly, "How can I say that the duck disappeared only to help me collect wild fruits, and Hu is also responsible. If you don't go find it yourself, Hu is really worried."

Li Daya might have had an accident in the mountains, otherwise he wouldn't have come out by this time, if Li Daya had the misfortune to run into Xiong Xiazi or something, he couldn't do anything about it, but if Li Daya fell What a ravine, at least he still knows some superficial first aid methods, maybe he can help.

Uncle Zhang didn't allow it at first, but Jia Hu had no choice but to pull Er Yi over to make a guarantee. For Er Yi's sake, Uncle Zhang finally agreed.

Although Uncle Zhang didn't know that there were creatures called dark guards in this world, as the son of the old man, he still had good eyesight, and he knew at a glance that he was a so-called master. There was such a master, and he wanted to come along with them People can also be safer.

Besides Jia Hu, Chen Erniu also went up the mountain together.

No way, although Jia Hu asked someone to help him collect wild fruits, he really doesn’t know where the wild fruits grow in this mountain. Even adults don’t know this, but only the children who go to pick wild fruits every day clearest.

Chen Erniu couldn't hide his complacency, and led a group of people up the mountain to look for Li Daya.

Chen Erniu went directly into the deep mountain, skipping and saying, "The wild fruits at the foot of the mountain are almost all picked, I guess the big duck must have gone to the deep mountain to pick them. I know that there is a wild forest in front, which is full of grapes." , Er Ya must have gone to pick grapes."

The wild forest is located in the depths of the mountain forest, but it is really difficult to walk, so many children know about it, but there are not many children who come to pick grapes, and only Li Daya went here to step on it without hesitation. .

The wild forest was full of grapes. Although Jia Hu had people pick a lot, there were still more than half of the grapes left, and there were many grape residues on the nearby ground.

Uncle Zhang and his team searched carefully, but they still couldn't find Li Daya. They only saw the basket that Li Daya used to pick grapes. There were only a few grapes and residues in the basket.

Jia Hu picked up half of the eaten mountain grape and carefully looked at the tooth marks on it, frowning slightly.

Uncle Zhang searched for a round, and sighed, "Let's search further inside."

Although the child was not found, fortunately, there was no blood stain. Maybe the child was playing for a while and went further into the mountains.

Jia Hu suddenly grabbed Uncle Zhang, "Wait a minute!"

"Brother Hu! What's the matter?" Uncle Zhang wondered, "Why didn't you leave?"

Are you in a hurry to find someone?Why did you suddenly stop here?

Jia Hu frowned slightly, and asked, "Uncle, is this place close to where Beirong people often come and go?"

"How is it possible!" Uncle Zhang laughed and said, "This place is close to the military town, and the general Beirong people would not come here."

Eighty-nine out of ten people living in the town are military dependents, and the soldiers come and go most intensively, not to mention the Beirong people, even the strong know how to avoid this town. Come on safe.

Jia Hu held the half of the mountain grape in his palm, his eyes sank slightly.He has just observed that there are obvious human tooth marks on the spoiled grapes. It can be seen that these grapes have been eaten by humans. A rough comparison of the tooth marks shows that there are no less than six young men gathered here. .

This place is not easy to come by, most children will not come here, adults are too busy with farm work to come here for a mere piece of wild fruit, except for Li Daya, there are not many people who will come here.

To Li Daya, these mountain grapes are money, even if he can't help but eat them, he can't do the wasteful behavior of eating one, throwing one away, or biting half of one, so the people who waste these mountain grapes , someone else.

Now that we know that there are other people here, and they are all young men, some things can be said. Moreover, the Beirong people of this era are not like the Beirong people of later generations, who have gradually lost the Tungus race because of their mixed blood. Characteristics, because most of the Beirong people in this era only intermarried with Beirong people, they still retain most of the characteristics of the Tungusic race, such as... hair color.

Holding the light gray hair, Jia Hu said in a deep voice, "I suspect...the duck was captured by the Beirong people."

The disappearance of a child is not a big deal, but if it involves Beirong people, it is not a trivial matter, not to mention that these Beirong people have come to the military town so close to Liaoyang Mansion.

Uncle Zhang's face darkened, and he asked in a low voice, "Brother Hu, is this serious!?"

If this is true, the government must be notified as soon as possible, but if it is false, countless manpower and material resources will be wasted and no Beirong people will be found.

Jia Hu directly showed the collected mountain grapes to Uncle Zhang.

"Uncle, look at these teeth marks." Jia Hu pointed out carefully, "There are a few differences in these teeth marks. A rough estimate, there are at least six young men here."

Uncle Zhang looked at it carefully from left to right, and then from right to left.

In the end, he blushed slightly, he really couldn't see the difference between these teeth marks.

Uncle Zhang was not very confident and asked, "Brother Hu, are you sure?"

"Of course!" Jia Hu nodded heavily, "Men's jaws are flatter than women's, and their teeth are not as rounded. These teeth marks are clearly left by men, and everyone's tooth spacing is different. I knew it was left by someone else."

Big sweat dripped down Uncle Zhang's forehead, but he still couldn't see it.

Jia Hu taught it again, and even Chen Erniu understood and saw some points, but Uncle Zhang was still in a daze, and finally Jia Hu couldn't help but disdainfully said, "Uncle's eyesight is really bad!"

He has explained everything in such detail, since the uncle still can't figure it out, where has he read all the books?

No!Jia Hu mused secretly, maybe it was because he stayed up late to read too much, and his eyesight deteriorated, which made his eyesight fail. Jia Hu was terrified. As an archaeologist, it is impossible to have no eyesight. It seems that he has to reduce his reading at night. Save time, like an uncle, whose eyes are not good at a young age.

Just like Jiang, Jia Hu found a perfect reason for his lazy plan for the next few years.

Uncle Zhang saw Jia Hu's dissatisfaction, and his old face turned red. He hadn't studied this aspect before, so it would be good if he could tell that it was a human tooth mark, not an animal's tooth mark, okay?

As the saying goes, rotten wood can’t be carved, Uncle Zhang’s eyesight is bad, Jia Hu is too lazy to continue teaching, and he doesn’t have much time to procrastinate, Beirong people are brutal, it’s already strange not to kill a duck on the spot, any more delay Going down, I'm afraid that when they rush over, they will have to collect the dead duck.

Uncle Zhang pondered, "This matter is no small matter, let's go back first, and don't approach rashly."

If it is really Beirong people, they are just a few farmers with hoes here, even if there are masters like Eryi, there is not enough. After all, there is only one master, and there are at least six Beirong people, so I went there rashly. , It's just to add a few more dead souls to Beirong's hands, it's better to go back and discuss carefully.

Many villagers showed a little bit of unbearable expression. Everyone knew that if Li Daya fell into the hands of the Beirong people, he would definitely die after a long time, but the Beirong people were cruel, so they dare not approach.

That's all for others, but Aunt Li is willing to give up her son and go back. She only has such a son. If her son has something, she still has something to live for.

Aunt Li knelt down to Uncle Zhang on the spot and begged, "Uncle Zhang! I only have one son like Duck! If Duck is gone, I will die!"

"This..." Uncle Zhang frowned, not knowing what to say for a moment, and persuaded Aunt Li to give up.

Seeing Uncle Zhang's face of embarrassment, Aunt Li was even more panicked, and hurriedly kowtowed and begged, "I...I kowtow to you, please save the duck!"

Uncle Zhang quickly helped Aunt Li up, "Sister-in-law of the Li family, get up first, it's not that we won't save you, but...that's from Beirong."

You can't let everyone take a risk against the Beirong people for Li Duck, right?

Not only Uncle Zhang, but even the other villagers agreed.

Everyone is from the same village, and no one can bear to see the duck die tragically, but that is a Beirong man who kills without degrading his eyes!

Zhuangtou persuaded, "Mother Da Ya, don't embarrass the master, then... it's Da Ya's fate!"

"Yes! Yes!" Zhuangtou opened his mouth, and everyone persuaded Aunt Li together.

"Look at the isolated Luo family. Didn't it happen that they met Beirong people unfortunately and were hacked by Beirong people? This Beirong person is dangerous."

Everyone was chattering, and the one who tossed and turned was trying to persuade Aunt Li to give up.

Aunt Li gritted her teeth and turned her head to kowtow to Jia Hu. Aunt Li regarded Jia Hu as the last life-saving straw, bumping on the ground, and Aunt Li begged, "Master Jia! The big duck is here to collect it for you." Wild fruit, this is what happened to you, you...you can't ignore the big duck."

"Auntie, please get up!" Jia Hu hurriedly supported Aunt Li and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I won't ignore the big duck."

Aunt Li still wanted to kowtow a few more times, and Jia Hu had to agree to say anything, but she never expected that Jia Hu's strength was so great that when Jia Hu helped her, she got up involuntarily.

"Master Jia!" Aunt Li grabbed Jia Hu's hand and pleaded, "You can't just ignore the big duck!"

"Don't worry, ma'am." Jia Hu lowered her eyes and replied, "I will go find the duck myself!"

"Brother Hu!" Uncle Zhang snapped, "What nonsense are you talking about!?"

He knew that brother Hu was uneasy because of the disappearance of the duck, but this was not a trivial matter, how could he be allowed to mess around!

"Uncle, you go back first." Jia Hu said with rare firmness, "I'll just go find it with Eryi."

Uncle is just a scholar, not to mention helping to deal with the Beirong people, it would be good if he doesn't delay the time, he might as well go find it with Eryi.

"Nonsense!" Uncle Zhang scolded, "You are a child, how can you help? You will be killed by the Beirong people by then. Come back with me!"

Although he was underestimated again, Jia Hu was not annoyed at all, this time was different from the past, he must be different.

Jia Hu insisted, "Uncle, I will be with Eryi, there will be no danger, and if something happens, I can protect myself."

"What nonsense!" Uncle Zhang was anxious, and immediately wanted to stretch out his hand to pull Jia Hu home.

Jia Hu sideways avoided, and replied with a stern face, "Uncle, I can do it."

As he spoke, Jia Hu directly kicked the small tree beside him, only to hear a cluck, and the small tree broke in response.

Uncle Zhang couldn't help being stunned, although it was only a small tree, but Jia Hu was able to break it so neatly, it shows that his martial arts skills are good, I'm afraid it is no worse than Uncle Zhang.

Thinking about Brother Hu's background, Uncle Zhang is a little clearer. Although Old Master Jia has revealed a little bit that Brother Hu's generation is going to be literary, but it is not surprising to teach Brother Hu a few hands.

In an instant, Uncle Zhang's face became distorted, and he suddenly knew where the good kung fu on his second brother came from.

Jia Hu quietly tucked her left foot behind her back and turned around, almost losing face.

Jia Hu's little move surpassed others, but it was no more than Eryi, Eryi shook his head, and decided that he must keep an eye on Master Hu in the future, and he must not let him waste his martial arts.

Although Jia Hu has proved that he has the ability to protect himself, it is a ghost that Uncle Zhang dared to let him out like this. Uncle Zhang refused to say anything, so Jia Hu simply gave Er Yi a wink.

Eryi understood, smiled and stepped forward to give Uncle Zhang a hand, and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhang, I'm taking you with me, what are you worried about?"

Uncle Zhang was very happy, "You──"

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a pain in the back of his neck and fainted immediately.

Jia Hu glanced at Er Yi secretly in admiration, although he signaled Er Yi to attack, but with his eyesight, he couldn't see how Er Yi made the attack, the prince's special secret guard was really powerful.

Jia Hu pretended to be shocked and said urgently, "Uncle! What's wrong with you, Uncle? Uncle?"

Everyone was shocked, why did this old man suddenly faint when he said he was dizzy?

Jia Hu pretended to be anxious, and ordered the villagers to send the uncle back, "Please take the uncle back first, and Eryi and I will continue to look for the whereabouts of the duck."

If it weren't for the fact that this place is still some distance away from the Liaoyang Mansion, and he was afraid of making a big fuss, those Beirong people would jump over the wall and chop up the big duck in a hurry. He would have asked someone to go home and tell his father and the prince to go.

Zhuangtou was a little uneasy and said, "Master Hu, this is not good, you are a noble person..."

To put it bluntly, Da Ya is just a tenant farmer, so it is worthwhile for Young Master Hu to find him himself, let alone take the risk to find him.

"Just follow my orders." Jia Hu sent them back indiscriminately. Even Aunt Li, who refused to leave at first, was taken away. It's hard to say what kind of wild animals will be there. If a Xiong Xiazi is surprised, everyone will die at the hands of the Beirong people, but it will be a big loss.

Although the villagers were a little uneasy, they were more afraid of the Beirong people than anything else, so they went down the mountain after all.

Er Yi looked at Jia Hu with admiration in his eyes, but he still said calmly, "Are you really sure you want to take this risk?"

The son of a daughter cannot sit still, and in Jia Hu's capacity, he can't afford to take such a risk.

Jia Hu sighed slightly, "After all, the big duck was in trouble because I asked people to buy wild fruits. If you don't save him, Hu will feel uneasy."

After all, he grew up in a modern society. Although he understood the ancient class distinctions, he couldn't treat human life as dung, especially since Da Ya was still a child. He couldn't turn a blind eye to this matter.

"Forget it." Er nodded and said, "Your martial arts are barely getting started, and I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with the Jianghu people, but a few Beirong people are still good enough. It's better to take this opportunity to practice."

Originally, he was a hidden guard, so Brother Hu shouldn't be allowed to take risks, but he didn't care about the few Beirong people. It's good to let Brother Hu accumulate some experience in fighting the enemy. .

Jia Hu has a dark line, he still likes to use his brain more than his hands.

Huiken took Jia Hu with him. Eryi actually had a general direction for those Beirong soldiers, and he even guessed the number of people. Of course, he didn't dig the mountain grapes left on the ground to see the tooth marks on them. Guessing people, but guessing directly by looking at the footprints on the ground, a rough estimate, there should be about six people, and eight out of ten are elite soldiers from the Northern Army.

The shoes worn by the Beirong people are very different from those of the Han people. In addition, the Beirong soldiers have to walk several miles a day, and the soles of the shoes are worn out. Looking at the footprints, it was obvious early on [-] whether they were Han people or not. Beirong people, whether they are veterans or recruits.

If it weren't for the fact that there were only recruits and not many of them, Er Yi wouldn't have dared to take Jia Hu to take risks.

In terms of tracking skills, Eryi is the best in the dark guard battalion. He found the direction where the Beirong people left without a single turn, but he found it fast, Jia Hu's speed is not weak, and Jia Hu's search method is quite different from his, which makes Eryi amazed.

As expected, he came out of the Rongguo Mansion. No wonder the old Rongguo Duke was able to make great achievements in the military and was able to avoid being relegated to attack the noble. However, this method feels a bit weird.

Regarding this, Jia Hu could only smile shyly. He couldn't even explain that he used the exploration technology he used in the tomb robbery.

Cough, although as an archaeologist, he [-]% despises tomb robbers, but it cannot be denied that necessity is the mother of invention, and some tomb robbers are really good at prospecting, like the excavation at Mawangdui back then. Contributions of Tomb Raiders.

He also learned those tricks from those tomb robbers back then. Although the goals are different, they can be used after empathizing.

When Jia Hu and Er Yi arrived, they discovered that those who kidnapped the ducks were old acquaintances.

Among the group of seven or eight young people, the leader was none other than the Northern Army merchant who had an extraordinary interest in anti-corrosion technology and even wanted to contribute to the cause of archaeology after his death, or the Prince of Beirong. !

Jia Hu made a rough calculation. When he saw them for the first time, there were at least a dozen or so people in their group, but now there are only seven or eight people left, and everyone has injuries. Some, but with a haggard look on their faces, it seems that they haven't rested for several days.

The Beirong people huddled in a very secret cave on the mountain wall, and deliberately left vines to cover the entrance of the cave. If they were not for their keen ears, they might have exposed this place.

Er Yi and Jia Hu didn't dare to get close, they only dared to peep from a distance. Since Jia Hu was reborn, his five senses were particularly sensitive, and his hearing was superb, not worse than Er Yi who practiced martial arts since childhood. Hear the voices of those people talking.

I saw a young Beirong boy hurriedly handed the boiled broth to the headed Beirong prince respectfully, "Master! Use some broth first."

Prince Bei Rong took a sip from the bowl and let out a long breath. During this period of time, they were hunted down so badly that they hadn't had a good meal for several days. To be able to have a mouthful of hot soup at this time, It is tantamount to the supreme delicacy, and even the spirit is better.

Prince Bei Rong resisted taking another sip, and asked in a low voice, "Did anyone else use it?"

The boy smiled and said, "We just used a lot of wild fruits, so we're not hungry!"

"Nonsense!" Prince Beirong scolded, "A little wild fruit can hold up!"

"Take it!" He stuffed the soup bowl into the young man's hand without knowing why, "Take it! Everyone has a sip, so it's good for your stomach!"

The young man was so moved that he was on the verge of tears, "Yes! Thank you, master!"

Look at his appearance, it seems that as long as the prince has a word, he is willing to die for the prince.

Jia Hu touched his chin. His father once said that this person might be from the royal family of Beirong. He didn't quite believe it before, but now it seems that it is true. This Prince of Beirong has some ability to buy people's hearts. He sees that as long as he shares weal and woe, as long as he can go back safely, this group of people will support him wholeheartedly.

Jia Hu kept staring at the Beirong prince, trying to guess which prince it was from his appearance, but Er Yi pushed him with his hands, motioning him to look to the other corner of the cave.

In a corner of the cave, Li Daya, who was tied up with five flowers, wept pitifully in a low voice.

Although those people were impatient with Li Duck, under the instruction of Prince Beirong, they still gave him a mouthful of hot soup.

The young man from Beirong said in a rough voice in not fluent Chinese, "Hurry up, boy, it's because our master is kind enough to let you be a full ghost before sending you on the road."

Li Daya burst into tears immediately, "Didn't the uncle say that he would let me go? I... I still have a mother, and my mother is only my son. I can't die."

The Beirong people said, "Who has no mother, did we all jump out of the cracks in the rocks?"

Even if they are from Beirong, they are not born by mothers.

A young Beirong man gesticulated on the big duck with bad intentions, and said in unfluent Chinese, "Eat it quickly! If you don't eat it again, don't blame the master, I will kill you and eat it."

Another Beirong man said coldly, "Thin, no meat, not enough!"

The implication is that the big duck doesn't have much meat and it's not enough to eat.

The Beirong man who was gesticulating did not dislike it and said, "Even if there is not much, it is still meat."

Li Duck was trembling with fear, crying with tears all over his face, "Master Beirong! Don't...don't eat me! I don't have much meat!"

Prince Beirong didn't know what he thought of, and snorted coldly, "We Beirong people don't eat people, you Han people are the ancestors of cannibals!"

They have been eating people since the Yin and Shang Dynasties. In comparison, the Beirong people at most killed people with a knife, which is much more straightforward than the Han people.

"You...you..." I didn't know Li Daya's courage, but he replied, "You lie, you Beirong people cannibalize people."

"Boy! What nonsense are you talking about?" The Beirong boy was upset, "If you talk nonsense again, I will kill you!"

"That's all!" Prince Beirong said indifferently, "I'm just a child, why should I have the same knowledge as him."

"Prince! This kid talks nonsense and insults our Beirong." The young man still gave Li Daya an indignant look.

"It's no surprise that the Han people regard our Bei Rong as an enemy." Prince Bei Rong coughed a few times and sighed helplessly.

He was also a little dissatisfied at the beginning, and these Han people had no direct evidence, so why should they say that they are Beirong people cannibals?But after thinking about it later, that's all, this child will die sooner or later, why bother with a dead person.

He suddenly asked, "Do you often have soldiers coming and going in your town?"

"Often! Very often!" Li Daya quickly said, "All the people living in our town are related to the army. There are often military masters here. There are a group of them every two or three days, at least dozens of each time. I didn't lie to you, a military master, go home!"

Li Duck deliberately slightly exaggerated
