"Tie them all up, even if their hands and feet are broken, they will still be tied up."
Zhengtou shouted loudly, looked back at the weapons on the ground, and couldn't help but burst into tears at the corners of his mouth.
"Haha, Brother Chengtou, now you also have a complete set of leather armor." Hao Zhao came over and pointed at the leather armor on Hutong's body.
Zhengtou chuckled and said, "It's good to just follow the young master. In just two days, we have seized so many weapons and armors."
Hao Zhao nodded, thought for a while, and asked curiously: "Brother Chengtou, what exactly did the young master put on the cup? Is it really poisonous?"
Zhengtou recalled it for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's a kind of rhizome juice. Master said it's poisonous, but not fatal."
Hao Zhao looked at the glass on the grass. He liked the glass quite a lot, but he knew it was poisonous, so he didn't pick it up. Compared with his life, a good-looking glass was not that important.
Instead, he weighed his head, picked up the white gauze he had thrown away from the ground, and then wrapped the cup, intending to take it back and return it to Wei Cheng.
Although the cup is coated with highly toxic poison, it should still be usable if washed, Honest Weighing Tou thought.
"Brother Chengtou, be careful." Hao Zhao quickly reminded him.
"Yes, I know. Don't worry. Master said it will be fine if you don't touch her directly."
"Okay, you two, stop chatting and send the person up quickly."
Hao Dadao came down at some point. Looking at the people in the alley who were tied up with rice dumplings, he was still frightened.
If it weren't for Wei Cheng's support, he would never dare to offend these people. The Yellow Turban Army can only be regarded as thieves, but the people in Hujiabao are different. They are serious naval forces of the Han Dynasty. What does this mean to him? Are you afraid?
Zheng Tou put the wrapped cup into his arms, pointed in the direction of the top of the mountain, and asked Hao Dadao: "Uncle, what are your orders, Master? Are these people..." He made a gesture of wiping his neck, and then asked: "Or Want to interrogate?"
Hao Dadao put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Young Master said, separate them and inquire in detail about Hu's strength and background. If there is any asymmetry of information, anyone who dares to conceal it will be killed without mercy."
After finishing speaking, Hutong, who had been tied up, shouted: "Tell me, I'll tell you everything. Can you give me the antidote first? My hands are itchy, my chest is also itching, and my whole body is... It hurts and itches, I’m going to die, I really am going to die.”
Chengtou was about to ask what the question was about, but when he heard people crying and making trouble in the alley, he said angrily: "Why are you so courageous? Your hands are just poisoned. Can't you just chop them off?"
No one in Haojia Village has a good impression of people like Hutong who sell their friends to survive. At this time, they can't help but feel sympathy for the others. How come they have become the subordinates of people like Hutong, and have they never heard of a den of bears?
The deputy was also in mourning at this time. Damn it, I have been doing this for a long time. This alley is not cruel and sinister, but it is afraid of death. Who the hell did I follow? All my bravery has been wasted. .
Under the auspices of Hao Dadao, these people were sent to the top of the mountain in batches. Because Wei Cheng informed them in advance, they were detained in five different places to prevent them from collaborating in confession.
Hutong happened to be tied under the big tree where the three obscene men were.
Looking at the wretched man who was hung upside down, Hutong looked at Zhengtou in disbelief, and Zhengtou said proudly: "What, don't you recognize him?"
The wretched man looked weakly at the Hutong and saw that he was tied into a rice dumpling. He swallowed what he said. Others didn't know what the Hutong was like, but he, as the fourth head of the family, knew it all.
Among the leaders of Hujiapu, the boss Hu Biao is violent, the second brother is afraid of death in alleys, the third brother is a gambler, and the fourth brother is a pervert. None of them are good. Now that two of them are gathered together, I am afraid that the four brothers will never get together again. Far away, the wretched man couldn't help but feel sad.
An hour later.
In the open space in the center of the village, Hao Dadao stood respectfully behind Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng held a homemade banana fan in her hand and fanned it constantly. On this hot day, the heat was still a bit heavy... It was definitely not just to show off.
Next to him, the scale chief was reporting the details of the interrogation.
"Sir, it stands to reason that there should be five hundred soldiers in Hujiapu. But Hu Biao is not a human being. The five hundred is just a false report. The actual number of soldiers in Hujiabao is only two hundred. The others are ruffians from the countryside. Hu Biao takes it. They charge the leader with public funds."
"Also, Hujiabao needs to transport a large amount of money to Luoyang every year, which seems to be given to an eunuch. I heard from the Hutong that the reason why Hu Biao became rich was because he recognized an eunuch as his adoptive father."
"Hu Biao's life is actually not easy. Recently, the Yellow Turban rebels have often harassed his base camp. The Salt Lake area is not small. The Yellow Turban rebels come and go like the wind. Hu Biao's people suffered heavy casualties. It is said that he went to Luoyang to ask for help. Unfortunately, the eunuchs did not Reply to him, I have recently fallen in love with a person named Dong, and I am currently in a relationship."
"Dong?" Wei Cheng frowned, and couldn't help but think of Dong Zhuo, but then he thought about it, it couldn't be such a coincidence, after all, there are so many people surnamed Dong in the world.
"In other words, there should be only more than a hundred regular troops in Hujiabao now?" Wei Cheng added an important point.
Hearing this, Zhengtou said with a smile: "That's right, the sixty or so people we arrested can't go back, hahaha."
Wei Cheng also smiled, nodded, and said, "Let's talk about the seized materials. I'll see how to distribute them to everyone."
When this was mentioned, the men in the village became energetic.
Hao Dadao pulled his head apart and said happily: "Master, there are a lot of good things this time. Twenty-seven war horses, plus the previous ones, exactly fifty, more than thirty sets of leather armor, which is the same as before. After piecing these things together, we got a complete set of twelve pairs of leather armors, thirty pairs of breastplates, and forty-two pairs of arm armors, greaves, and hip armors."
Hao Zhao on the side was not to be outdone and rushed to report: "There are also twenty-six bows, two hundred and seventy arrows, six square swords, thirty-three spears, and forty iron hats."
Hao Dadao was just getting emotional when his son snatched the narration for no reason. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "You brat, why are you everywhere?"
Hao Zhao chuckled, playing with a hardwood bow in his hand, and nimbly dodged Hao Dadao's slap. The villagers nearby burst into laughter watching the father and son having fun.
Wei Cheng also laughed. After laughing, he immediately agreed: "Let's drink tonight, three bowls per person."
"Wow, there's wine again!"
"Three bowls, long live the young master!"
"Brother Zhengtou, let's go to Niutouling and shoot another black man to add food." Someone suggested in a loud voice.
"Yes, yes, now we have leather armor, a hard bow, and a spear in our hands. Let alone a black man, it is just a piece of cake to carry them all."
When Hao Dadao heard this, he shouted angrily: "Everything is served, one at most... Well, two, please grab a little black man and let him cook it alone, the little black man's meat is tender." It’s fragrant and doesn’t smell bad.”
···
The men all rushed down the mountain. Today, we can't just eat a big wild boar. There are so many people in the village.
Therefore, the hunters also went to catch some pheasants, hares and the like. Hao Zhao also took his friends to catch fish, and they were all very motivated.
Even the women were also happy and took out the dried wild vegetables to soak them, planning to cook them together in the evening.
Wei Cheng told Hao Dadao a few words and asked him to send a few people to keep an eye on the prisoners and not let them kill them.
When Hao Dadao heard this, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He pulled a few old guys and found a pile of hemp ropes from somewhere, saying that he was going to add some weight to those people...
Wei Cheng smiled, feeling that this old guy was quite interesting.
When he was about to go back to his hut, he suddenly saw the mute 'cultivating' feelings with a horse on the grass.
The mute's head was leaning against the horse's head, as if he was whispering. The horse was also very docile, letting him stroke its mane, and looked like he was enjoying it.
The children in the village hid and watched from a distance. Aning also wanted to touch the horse, but she was afraid of being kicked away by the horse.
This matter has to start with the unlucky Banjin. This kid wanted to ride a horse but didn't know how to do it. He touched the horse's leg and was kicked out. He fell into a dog's mouth and had a broken arm that was about to heal. , now I have to hang him for another ten days and a half.
Wei Teng curiously walked behind the mute uncle. Although he tried to control his steps as gently as possible, he still startled the horse.
The mute uncle looked back and saw Wei Cheng. He smiled and nodded to Wei Cheng as a greeting.
Wei Cheng asked curiously: "What happened to this horse?"
The mute kept saying "ah ah ah" and gesturing. Wei Cheng had a black line on his head and couldn't understand.
At this time, little Aning translated: "Brother Wei, the dumb uncle said that this horse is sick."
"Are you sick?" Wei Cheng frowned slightly. It is not a trivial matter for livestock to get sick, especially some highly contagious diseases. If we don't take it seriously, it is very likely that the fifty horses just captured will die.
The mute gestured for a while, and then Aning said: "The mute uncle also said that he has a way to cure it."
Wei Cheng looked at the mute in surprise. He always felt that this man was very mysterious. Not only could he ride a horse, but he could also treat horses?
A look of panic flashed in the mute's eyes, and then he gestured and trotted towards the lift platform.
Aning said: "The mute uncle said he wanted to find medicine. As long as he finds it, the horse will be saved."
Wei Cheng touched Aning's small head and looked thoughtfully at the mute's leaving figure. He was not a curious person, but now that he decided to stay in Haojia Village, he must be responsible for everyone in Haojia Village.
He planned to go back and ask Hao Dadao if he was mute and had any hidden secrets, so that he could take precautions and make plans in advance.
At night, a bonfire reaches the sky in the center of Haojia Village. The villagers sing and dance, drink wine and eat meat, and are very happy.
The mute hasn't come back yet, and he doesn't know where he went to collect the medicine. Compared with the mute's life experience, Wei Cheng is now more interested in the medicine he collected. He doesn't know what kind of medicine it is, but it can cure the horse's disease.
Until the next morning, when Wei Cheng was still sleeping, she heard Aning chattering to Cai Yan at the door.
"Sister, sister, come with me quickly. That monkey is so cute. You will definitely like it too."
Cai Yan said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's okay for me to go. However, you have to tell me truthfully. Is there any hidden secret? Why do you have to drag me to accompany you?"
Aning hesitated, and looked up just in time to see Wei Yan pushing open the door and walking out. She broke free from Cai Yan's hand and ran down the mountain, looking like she was guilty of committing a crime.
"What's wrong with her?" Wei Cheng looked confused.
Cai Yan didn't know either, so he only said: "A Ning said he wanted to raise some kind of monkey, but I'm afraid someone won't let me do it. This little girl is pulling me to make him stronger."
"Monkey?" Wei Cheng was stunned, "Monkey!"
After breakfast, Wei Cheng went to the foot of the hillside. The flat-top mountain area was not large. Except for Wei Cheng's small hillside, the rest was a large area of grass and bushes, with a few large trees dotting it.
Haojia Village occupies the central area, and not far to the west is a piece of grassland with thousands of square meters, where the horses call home.
When Wei Cheng arrived, he happened to see a group of children chasing something.
Take a closer look, that’s not a little macaque!
Aning was the first to bear the brunt. He was almost caught several times, but the little macaque made a quick sharp turn and 'pop'! Aning suddenly jumped into the air and slid across the grass for several meters. There were several grass branches stuck in his hair, almost turning into a bird's nest.
Wei Teng sighed helplessly, this girl is really crazy.
Looking back to the other side, the mute was feeding something to the sick horse. The two of them were waiting carefully beside them. Some were holding water in their hands, some were feeding fresh green grass, and some were feeding the sick horse. Do it in a hurry.
Seeing Wei Cheng arriving, he said: "Master, come and have a look. The mute gave the horse a large piece of blood scab. I stopped him. An Ning also said that it was you who agreed to give it to the horse, saying it could cure it. sick."
Wei Cheng looked at Mute, who unfolded the things in his hands, and a cloying smell instantly hit his nostrils.
Wei Cheng was startled for a moment, then exclaimed: "Blood Ganoderma!"
The mute nodded and continued to feed the horse with the blood Ganoderma lucidum.
Seeing that Wei Cheng didn't stop him, the first-class people also acquiesced to the mute's operation. And judging from Wei Cheng's expression, it seemed that the thing like daddy was still a good thing?
Wei Cheng didn't expect that the mute would use this thing to treat the horse's illness.
The so-called blood Ganoderma lucidum, also known as monkey knot and black ape blood, is actually a combination of the menstrual discharge and male monkey ejaculation discharged by the monkeys all year round at a fixed location in the deep mountains and old forests. It is accumulated over the years and is durable.
People can also eat this stuff, and it is said that it can cure infertility. Wei Cheng is not familiar with this aspect and dare not make a conclusion easily.
However, there are records in ancient books, "The Book of Horses": "The horses in the stables are plagued by the plague of female monkeys. Every month, there are Tianguiliu grass on them, and the horses will never get sick if they eat them."
In "Journey to the West", the Jade Emperor used the official position of Bi Ma Wen to insult Sun Wukong. This is also where it comes from. According to early legends, some people in the Eastern Han Dynasty raised monkeys in stables. This could effectively avoid horse plague, so the monkeys had Bi. Ma Wen's name.
Wei Teng was not very interested in this kind of folk remedy, and turned back to look at the poor little monkey... So, was that Bima Wen whom the mute captured to treat the horse's illness?
