Chapter Fourteen Guixin County
The care of his fathers is always warming people's hearts. Wu Ji looked at the sincerity and care on Wu Qing's face and couldn't help but feel warm. In the Wu family, although there are prodigal sons like Wu Liang, there are more kind people, and there are elders who care about him. Wu Qing is the one who cares about him the most.
"Uncle San, my nephew remembered it." Wu Ji had a gentle smile on his face.
"Remember it? Remember it in your heart!" Wu Qing was still worried and reminded him again: "You are a big man from the Wu family lineage, so you can't be hurt, do you know?"
The little junior high school student was actually a big shot and was so respected that Wu Ji was speechless and had to follow Wu Qing's words and agreed. Wu Qing was satisfied and let Wu Ji go.
The next thing was much simpler. Wu Qing summoned Ding Zhuang from the village and carried the bear back.
Bears, tigers, and leopards were the most feared beasts of the ancients, and biting humans and animals were endless. Although this bear, although it had not entered the village, it had already posed a huge threat to the village. No one knew when to come to bite people and livestock. Wu Ji's removal of the bear was a major event in the entire village.
As soon as the news spread, the whole village was in full swing. Everyone put down their work and rushed over. Everyone had smiles on their faces, happier than during festivals.
Correspondingly, Wu Ji, a hero, became the hero of Wujiazhuang and was loved and respected by the villagers. Wu Ji was also a scholar, with scholar plus heroes. These two identities combined have made the villagers' respect reach an unparalleled level.
The most joyful one is Wu Qiang's sister, Wu Xiaoma. Wu Qiang died under the sharp claws of this bear. She was always looking forward to revenge. Now, she finally took revenge. She was both sad and happy. She kept kowtowing to Wu Ji and kept saying: "Brother Xiucai, thank you! Thank you! Thank you for avenging your brother!"
Listening to the happy words of the villagers, Yang Xiuxiu was particularly proud. Wu Ji was not only a scholar, but also had such a clever way of learning. If he married such a man, what else could his husband want?
She is particularly satisfied!
Although Wu Ji was very poor and had a bare house, she suffered a lot after marrying her. However, at this moment, she thought that God treated her well and married such a great man!
The villagers celebrated the slaughter of chickens and ducks until midnight, and then they gradually calmed down. If it hadn't been late, Wu Qing's mood would have wanted to bring people to the county immediately to ask the county magistrate for rewards and promote Wu Ji's contributions.
Tonight, the villagers gave all their food and drinks. Wu Ji had a big meal and felt that the deliciousness was far from being described by the pen and ink. That feeling was the most enjoyable time he had been a human being in his two lives.
"Xiuxiu, come to the city tomorrow and get the bounty. Let's leave here and go out to make a fuss!" As soon as he got home, Wu Ji couldn't help it and started discussing with Yang Xiuxiu excitedly.
There are too few people in this mountain village. Even if Wu Ji has great skills, he will not be able to perform here, walk out of the valley and find a broader stage. This is inevitable.
Before this, Wu Ji's family was too poor and too restricted. Now that the bear has been hunted, the bounty is about to be obtained, it is time to plan for the future.
"Go out?"
Yang Xiuxiu grew up so big that she hadn't walked out of the valley. The farthest part was Caoshi. The so-called Caoshi is the country market in the Song Dynasty. The nearest Caoshi is not far from Wujiazhuang, and it is about ten miles away. This is the farthest part of Yang Xiuxiu.
"Yes! The closest thing to us is Guixin County, but Guixin County is not big. The most suitable one is Xiongzhou. As soon as this matter comes, let's go to Xiongzhou! There should be a lot of money there." Wu Ji's thoughts turned and began to think about his wealth.
Xiongzhou is the largest city in this area and an important military town. It is the most intense city in the Song Dynasty to resist the Liao Dynasty's attack. There are many Song troops stationed here. Wu Ji wanted to make bombs and go to Xiongzhou with the most promising one. That is to fall into the pile of money and have many benefits.
"Ah! Go to Xiongzhou?" Yang Xiuxiu was even more surprised. For her, a girl who had never left a mountain village, it would be great to go to Guixin County. It was a great blessing, let alone Xiongzhou.
"Wu Lang, wherever you go, I will go. As long as you don't say I'm not good." After a brief surprise, Yang Xiuxiu only followed Wu Ji's horse.
This matter was decided, and Wu Ji was very happy and went to bed happily.
During this sleep, Wu Ji slept very sweetly and had a big dream. The bomb he made the Liao army blood flowing into a river, and the corpses were piled up like mountains, which was particularly popular. He made a lot of money, almost like a mountain of gold.
Early the next morning, Wu Ji called out from the bed for Wu Qing. Wu Qing had already found Ding Zhuang, and their task was to carry the Xiong to Guixin County.
According to Wu Ji's meaning, there is no need to carry the bear away, just peel it off and take the bear's skin away. In this case, you only need to give the government a evidence to prove that the bear was indeed hunted. The bear's skin is very big, and the bear's skin can fully prove this.
Wu Qing refused to do anything. In his words, this was a good opportunity to promote Wu Ji. Although Guixin County is a small place, there are also a few scholars. However, none of these shows have the ability of Wu Ji. If you can use this clever method to hunt bears, you must promote them to Wu Ji.
Wu Ji is a big shot in Wujiazhuang and the only scholar. The higher the status and the greater the reputation of Wu Ji, the more respected the people in Wujiazhuang, when they go out to see people, the more respected they are.
This statement was unanimously responded by the people of Wujiazhuang and decided to do so. Wu Ji could not resist them and had to let them go.
Ding Zhuang has another task, which is to carry Wu Ji. Wu Ji is a big shot and should be respected. It is low-key enough to carry it without a sedan chair. Not to mention that Wu Ji's body is so weak that it is impossible for him to walk to the county town, and it can only be carried by Ding Zhuang. Ding Zhuang and others are particularly happy about this. This is a rare opportunity to get close to Wu Daxiucai!
After using breakfast in a hurry, the crowd carried the bear and Wu Ji on their backs and headed towards Guixin County.
Wu Ji originally wanted Yang Xiuxiu to go with him, but Yang Xiuxiu was unwilling to stay at home, so Wu Ji had to let her go.
Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, and praised Wu Ji with few words they knew. Unfortunately, they were simple farmers and didn’t know many words. After all, there were only a few words, such as Wu Ji’s greatness and greatness. Apart from that, there were no other words.
People feel refreshed when they are happy and walk like flying. They don’t take the mountain roads that cost dozens of miles seriously. Two hours later, they arrive in Guixin County.
When Wu Ji saw that Guixin County was not big, it only took a few miles a week, and there were only hundreds of households in the city, which totaled only three or four thousand people. This kind of city is a small city on the border, with few people, not many households, and not prosperous enough.
The only highlight is that the city wall is built high and thick, extremely solid, and can be completely banned from the impact of thousands of troops. This is a border city, and it will be attacked by the Liao army from time to time. Stability is the most important thing for the border city.
There are many marks of swords and arrows on the city wall, and many traces of collision. Their colors are a bit black and emit a faint fishy smell. They should be the remains of the war. It can be seen that there has been a bloody war in this city.
"It's really a good place to do arms trading!" Wu Ji saw it, his eyes lit up, and he was particularly energetic.
When is the most prosperous time for arms trading? Of course, it is when wars occur frequently!
Where is the most popular place for arms trading? Of course, it is a place where wars occur frequently!
A border city like Guixin County is baptized by war and will be attacked by the Liao army from time to time. If Wu Ji made a bomb, it would definitely be very popular.
The group passed by the city and came to the county government office. The county government office was in the center of the city and occupied a small area. More than a dozen houses formed a small courtyard. A county government office like this could not be magnificent, nor could it occupy a very wide area.
There were several guards at the county government gate. When they saw Wu Ji and the others coming, they were surprised. One of the servants asked, "Where are you from? How will you give birth to a bear?"
"This master, we are from Wujiazhuang. Our village has been hit by a bear disaster recently and bit my nephew to death. Fortunately, the big man in Wujiazhuang, Wu Xiucai, is a hero, and has a strange way to hunt this bear!" Wu Qing smiled and spoke carefully, but he did not forget to brag to Wu Ji: "Mr. Zheng offers a reward of fifty taels of silver, and Wu Xiucai comes to receive the reward."
"You are from Wujiazhuang? Lord Zheng is recruiting hunters and is preparing to hunt bears. Unexpectedly, you hunted. Who is Wu Xiucai?" Another officer was very surprised.
"This is Wu Xiucai!" Wu Qing pointed at Wu Ji and bowed, almost ninety degrees. He was particularly respectful to Wu Ji, the scholar.
Although Wu Ji was his nephew, he did not dare to mention this matter in front of outsiders, and could only treat it as a noble scholar.
