"Getting married is a big deal, so you can't just talk about it!"
Faced with Pan Hu's urging, Tian Di still felt that his words were not reliable, and he had no evidence if the other party went back on his word.
"What do you want?"
Pan Hu not only wanted to get the weapons seized by his in-laws, but also planned to ask for a bride price of three hundred taels of silver.
"It's not convenient to write in the cave, so you have to ask the village chief and matchmaker to testify!"
Tian Di knew that the Pan family were not the bullies of the village, but they were definitely not good people. However, for the sake of his family and his brother, marrying his family in this world would also enhance the family's ability to protect themselves.
"Okay! Just wait, I'll go look for you right now!"
Pan Hu is extremely greedy for money and weapons. In order to get these two treasures, he will spare no effort to arrange this marriage.
"Brother! How can you do this!"
After hearing the news, Pan Que had no intention of raising his family immediately. Although he was already sixteen, he was not young among girls in the countryside.
"What do you think, girl? I'm doing this for your own good. If you marry me, at least you won't be bullied or starved!"
Pan Hu knew that the fourth son of the Tian family was an honest farmer. He was a little poor, but now that the fields were harvested, he would not continue to be poor.
The important thing is that he can have the final say when his sister gets married. This is the most important thing. He, the elder brother, will not have to worry about it in the future.
Speaking of my family, I was also unlucky. If my father, who was serving as a soldier and eating royal food, had not died early while fighting the Tatars, and their three brothers were still young at the time, at least one of them would be a substitute.
"Hmph~!"
Pan Que knew that whatever his elder brother decided would be done, it would be useless to object. He could only huddle in the corner of the cave angrily, put Zhen's head on his knees, and sob secretly.
"Brother, do you really want to marry our girl to Tian Laosi?"
When Pan Bao found out about this, he hurriedly came over to ask about the situation. He felt that Tian Laosi was a loser and it was really wronged for his sister to marry him.
"Tian Laosan killed three dog Tatars!"
When Pan Hu saw no one around, he whispered something in his second brother's ear.
"Huh? Seriously?"
Pan Bao was greatly shocked when he heard the news and killed three of them at once. This was an incredible thing. You must know that three dog Tatars can chase a dozen officers and soldiers all over the ground.
"It's the three you saw buried!"
"Do you have proof?"
"The weapons are all in their hands!"
"Oh~hiss..."
There was nothing wrong with that. Pan Bao also acquiesced to this result. Thinking about it carefully, Tian Laosan did have this ability. In addition, Dog Tartar didn't know the situation in the cave at all, so it was reasonable for him to be killed.
"Three dog tartars are worth six hundred taels of silver. If we marry the girl, we can legitimately ask for a bride price, at least three hundred taels, plus two sets of weapons!"
"Okay! This matter is entirely up to my eldest brother!"
After hearing the price quoted by his eldest brother, Pan Bao had no objection. In their mountainous area, a bride who marries a girl can only get fifty taels of bride price. It would be a surprise to get three hundred taels now, let alone a full set of weapons.
"You stay here while I go find the village chief and the matchmaker!"
"good!"
The village chief is called Liu Zhu, and the matchmaker is his relative, named Liu Juhua. Since the village is too poor, the village chief appointed by Yan Yingyuan, the governor of Jizhen, has little to gain, and the matchmaker is even more idle.
This was a happy event, and the two of them were naturally very happy. When they found the field and heard the ins and outs, they were even more surprised and happy. They killed three dog Tatars at once, but it made the whole village feel bad.
The dog Tartars once killed no less than a dozen people in the village, and everyone watched helplessly as they snatched thousands of kilograms of grain, plus a bunch of livestock and poultry.
Now that we have a hole in the ground, at least we won't be bullied anymore. All the big animals have been taken away by the government, and now the dog Tatars don't even have a chance to attack.
If Tiandi really killed three dog Tatars, it would be a great good thing. Liu Zhu and Liu Juhua were very happy to arrange and witness this marriage.
After some haggling, the two parties finally agreed that in line with the principle that good things come in pairs, the Tian family would use two hundred taels of silver, two scimitars, two bows, and sixty arrows as a betrothal gift. When the dog Tatar left the customs, Tian's mother would marry Pan. magpie.
"Do you know how many Dog Tartars there are in our village?"
"...What are you going to do?"
Faced with Tian Di's question, Pan Hu was very surprised. After the engagement, the two parties were considered quasi-in-laws, but the conditions were limited and they could not hold a banquet.
"Ask! That's fine if you don't know!"
"Who says I don't know? I have counted the horses of the Gou Tatars. There are about twenty horses, one for each person, and there are no more than thirty people. Looking at the attire, there are only two real Tatars, and the others look like Mongolian soldiers!"
"Hmm... maybe the one I shot to death in the cave was Meng Gubing!"
What Pan Hu said was very similar to his own experience. Tiandi knew how the real Tatars dressed. Almost everyone had cotton armor, but not the Menggu soldiers, who all wore felt hats and leather armor.
"No wonder!"
"What do you mean?"
"Say you're awesome!"
"really?"
"if not?"
"You wouldn't be interested in those Mongolian soldiers, would you?"
Tian Di knew that Pan Hu would not sit still and wait for death when he saw that he had made a lot of gains. He would probably take his two younger brothers to try his skills, but if he failed, it would cost his life. Dog Tatars are not vegetarians.
"What? Look down on me?"
Being guessed by the other party, Pan Hu felt that this was clearly Tian Laosan despising him. Now that I have three gains, I can no longer look down on others.
"A dozen dog Tatars, even if they are all Mongolian soldiers, how many of the three of you can kill them?"
This means that in a cave, it is difficult for the opponent to take action, and they do not know the situation below. On the flat ground, a dozen Menggu soldiers can massacre the village.
"Is it possible that you have an idea?"
Pan Hu really wanted to kill a few dog Tatars, at least not to let his in-laws look down on their Pan family.
"If you have the guts, get all the young and old men in the village to do it together!"
There are more than 30 families in this village, large and small, with a total of hundreds of people. There are also 20 or 30 young people. They are definitely not disadvantaged in terms of numbers, but in terms of combat power and experience, they are far behind the other party. .
"That's the idea?"
Pan Hu felt that Tian Laosan really took it for granted. The dog Tatars were not afraid of the overwhelming number of people on their side. They could kill ten of them alone and still win.
"The Governor taught us that caves can not only hide people, but also ambush dog Tatars. They also need to be above and below ground for mobile warfare. They can change places with just one arrow. This is the same principle as us hunters."
At the beginning, Yan Yingyuan, the governor of Jizhen, printed a bunch of essentials for underground cave operations, distributed leaflets to each village, and sent special personnel to check the excavation of underground caves. This was a two-pronged approach and would not waste this defense project.
After reading the above content, Tian Di combined it with the characteristics of Orions and drew inferences from one instance to another. It's nothing more than hunting on the ground before, but now hunting dogs and Tatars in caves. They are both hunting, with different targets.
If he really kills a dog Tatar, he will make a fortune. Before this, Tian Tian only dreamed about it when he was dreaming. Unexpectedly, it came true. Not only did he kill a dog, but he also killed six at a time. He didn't even think about it. Dare to believe.
"Don't tell me those big principles, just tell me what you want to do!"
Pan Hu didn't care about principles at all. The government officials would talk about those principles, and each one of them would be so ridiculous that when the dog Tatars come, they will be scared to death.
"Haha, it depends on whether you want to let go of your big rooster!" Tian Ping
It is not easy to deal with a dozen dog tartars. It requires careful planning. Tiandi has now thought of an effective method, but he needs a suitable bait.
"What? My big cock?"
If it weren't for the fact that the men of the Pan family were strong and tough to bully, his big colorful rooster would have been stolen and stewed in a pot, and would have turned into chicken bones by now.
"For hunting to be successful, in addition to traps, there must be bait. Otherwise, how will the prey take the bait? Is it because you are handsome?"
Tiandi felt that even if Dog Tartar came with dry food, he might still be able to eat dried meat, which would definitely not be as flavorful as freshly slaughtered and stewed chicken. It's very suitable to use this as bait, and besides, I can't find anything better right now.
"...Okay! Here you go, if I can't catch the dog Tatar, I'll settle the score with you again!"
Pan Hu was a little embarrassed by what he said, but then he thought about it, as long as he could get rid of the dog Tatar and earn hundreds of taels of silver, he would not be willing to part with a mere chicken.
"The plan is like this, just before the rooster crows, let the chicken out first. When the dog Tatar hears the rooster crow, he will probably come over to take a look. If there are few people coming, we will do it directly. If there are many people coming, we will do it directly. , let’s just…”
"...Yeah! Let's do it like this!"
After Pan Hu heard Tiantian's plan, he felt that it was feasible. Even if he exchanged a chicken for a dog, and ended up sharing the money with several people, he would still have made money.
"Alas~!"
Li Guoba didn't expect that when he came to this hellish place, except for three hundred kilograms of brown rice and dozens of cabbages, he found nothing else, not even a little bit of oil or water, and even his butt hurt from the convenience.
Although I found a few cave entrances, I didn't dare to go down rashly. If I died, I would be completely kicked. No one can save me, just like the few people who died before.
I don’t know which bastard made this. Once caught, he should be executed in Lingchi. Otherwise, our man wouldn’t even be invisible, so why would he go back to do business?
After finishing the work, Li Guoba, who yawned profusely, planned to sleep until dawn. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he came here to eat and wait for death. God knows how long he can survive.
"Gou Gou Gou... Gou~~~!"
Suddenly, a rooster crowed, breaking the long silence. Not only Li Guoba, but also everyone in the yard was awakened.
"Guo Ba took six people over to take a look. If there is a chicken, he must catch it and stew it!"
Ao Tu immediately decided to send someone over. If it was a trick of the barbarian, they would not be at a disadvantage since they were many in number.
"嗻!"
Seven people go to catch chickens, which can be said to mobilize a large number of people. It's really a joke that so many people can't catch a chicken. Menggu soldiers can shoot arrows.
Although he might not be able to eat chicken, it would be nice to have a bowl of flavorful chicken soup. Li Guoba had already reserved a bowl of chicken soup in his heart.
"Gou Gou Gou... Gou~~~!"
Judging from the sound of the rooster's crow, it seemed that it was not too far away. Li Guoba listened carefully several times and felt that this was not a person imitating the rooster's crow, but a real big rooster.
The Menggu soldiers who followed Li Guoba were even more impatient. Even if they could get a piece of chicken, it would be good. They quickly caught the chicken and killed it for the pot.
After following the source of the sound and finding the yard where the cock crows, Li Guoba asked a Menggu soldier to kick open the door. Everyone filed in, but no chickens were found in the yard.
Just when I was feeling strange, I heard a chicken crowing in the house.
It's no wonder, everyone has fled, and there is no one in the house now.
"Wait! Go in two first!"
Li Guoba was frightened by the previous cave. Now he was afraid of an ambush in the house, so he let two Menggu soldiers go in first.
"Gou Gou Gou... Gou~~~!"
After the people entered the house, the big rooster seemed to be frightened, and it crowed louder and flew out of the house.
When everyone saw that there was indeed a chicken, they were all extremely excited. However, the sky was dark and their vision was blurry, making it difficult to catch it.
This big rooster is also very clever. It can even run and fly, making it miss the encirclement of everyone.
Youmeng Gubing said he wanted to shoot an arrow, but his companions immediately rejected it.
It would be troublesome if one of our own people was harmed by this nonsense.
You can use your hands or a knife, but you can't shoot arrows.
Everyone could only block the courtyard door and the room door, and send people to watch the walls on both sides, while the remaining people went up to catch the chickens.
"This is really a flying bird!"
Li Guoba was also convinced. This big rooster could fly up to ten feet in one flight. It was really difficult to catch.
As a result, no chicken was caught in the yard, so he flew directly over the yard wall and ran away.
"Fire the arrow!"
Now Li Guoba finally couldn't bear it anymore. It was difficult to shoot arrows in the yard, but the chickens had all flown out, so he couldn't hesitate any longer. Otherwise, seven people couldn't catch a chicken, and Ao Tu would be scolded if he knew it. A meal.
"ah……"
Just before Li Guoba finished speaking, a scream suddenly came from behind.
"Enemy attack!"
Li Guoba turned his head and saw that a Menggu soldier had been hit by an arrow and fell to the ground. He shouted instinctively.
When a nearby Menggu soldier saw his companion being attacked, he hurriedly tried to draw his bow and arrow, but was shot in the chest by an arrow from the dog barbarian who was very close at hand.
The four Menggu soldiers who ran out to catch chickens hurried back after hearing the news. However, when they came back, the enemy had disappeared, which made them very angry.
After rummaging through the entire house, they finally opened up the pit mat and discovered the entrance to a cave.
It’s this damn thing again!
The four Menggu soldiers didn't wait for Li Guoba to give orders, and immediately went down to the cave to arrest people.
However, Li Guoba waited at the entrance of the cave for about a stick of incense, but did not see them come back, nor did he hear any reply.
"Don't wait any longer, you won't come back!"
"Heroes, spare their lives! Heroes, spare their lives!"
There was someone behind Li Guoba explaining the words. He suddenly felt bad and wanted to resist, but he immediately knew that a knife was on his neck, so he dropped the weapon and began to beg for mercy.
"Damn dog Tartar!"
"I'm not a Tatar, I'm a Han! You man, please spare my life! I was originally a commoner in Liaodong, but I was captured by the Qing Dynasty...oh no...the dog Tatars, and that's why I became like this!"
Li Guoba didn't dare to say that he had worked for the Qing Dynasty and killed people of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise he would have to be cramped, skinned, and lit with sky lanterns.
"Are you considered a Han Chinese? Bah!"
"Brother! Don't talk nonsense to him! The dog Tatars may come and kill you at any time!"
"Follow me to the cave, you bitch Tatar!"
"ah?"
"What? Do you want to die?"
"I don't want to! I don't want to!"
Li Guoba realized that the four Menggu soldiers who had gone down to the cave before would probably not survive, and his life was now in their hands.
As long as one of these uncles is unhappy and picks up the knife, the guy who feeds himself will roll off his neck.
Li Guoba was definitely not willing to enter the cave, but the situation was so compelling that he had to go in even if he didn't want to.
It’s okay if you don’t go in. You’ll have to turn into a corpse immediately and lie outside...
