South of the city, Lu Mansion. Lu Ling has been staying at home these days, never leaving the front door, and has become a homebody.
Practicing martial arts in front of a few wooden stakes every day seems to be venting his anger, and he always says something in his mouth. The old grandma felt sorry for her, so she changed some seasonings from somewhere, and asked the cook to ask the chef of Hao Kelai Restaurant for advice.
"Miss, today I'm going to eat your favorite roasted lamb chops. Grandma also specially prepared a pot of good wine." The little maid entered the yard carrying the fragrant roasted lamb and saw Lu Ling standing in the corner of the yard from a distance. He was dazed with a spear in his hand.
"Ah, Miss, the head of the gun..." The little maid put down the food box and suddenly saw a gun head next to the stone table. When she looked back, she found that the head of the spear in Lu Ling's hand was broken.
Lu Ling pursed her lips, glanced at the maid coldly, and threw the stick aside. The little maid secretly spat out her sweet tongue and said to herself that she was too talkative. She hurriedly set out the food and served it carefully.
"Why is there so little meat today?" Lu Ling looked at the barbecue on the plate and asked with a frown. The little maid responded in fear: "It's hard to find meat tickets. I had to find a lot of people to exchange for a few. I said I would use them sparingly." Lu Ling took a deep breath and thought of the scene where she had a lot of meat and fish in the Wei Mansion. I felt sour in my heart for no reason.
Seeing that Lu Ling was in a low mood, the little maid rolled her eyes and said, "Miss, I heard that a divine hot spring villa has opened in the east of the city, named Yaochi. Recently, many people in the city have gone to bathe. How about we go to bathe in the afternoon too?" Yeah, it must be very comfortable." Lu Ling frowned slightly, remembering the scene in the valley that day. To be honest, I dug that pool with great effort.
Why is it cheaper for you? Lu Ling bit off a piece of mutton with all her strength. Although she was not angry in her heart, she was more embarrassed to go there, for fear of meeting Cai Yan and the others.
"Isn't it ridiculous that you treat my husband like this and still want me to be in the same room with you?" Cai Yan's words were like a curse, still reverberating in her mind, making her very uncomfortable every time she thought about it.
"Oh, you've eaten all this. I also want to stew a bear's paw for you." Just as she was talking, grandma walked in with a smile, holding a bear's paw. It seemed that she was here to show off. .
Lu Ling frowned slightly and asked curiously: "Where did the bear paws come from?" Grandma was here to take credit, and said with a smile: "I went to find someone outside the city to exchange for food stamps this morning. I didn't want to encounter the farmers killing pigs and bears. "I thought this bear paw was pretty good, so I bought one. It was quite cheap." Lu Ling once accompanied her father to the mountains for hunting. She glanced at the bear paw, nodded and said, "I'm afraid this bear paw weighs no less than five hundred kilograms." "Mammy handed the bear's paw to the maid aside, nodded and said: "Yes, the butcher said, if I hadn't lost weight due to hunger in the winter, it would have weighed at least seven or eight hundred kilograms. This bear's paw is a great tonic. "M.. There is no way. I can't exchange for food stamps or meat stamps. I can buy a bear paw. I have done my best. In order to take care of Lu Ling's three meals a day, she has lost several pounds recently.
Lu Ling, on the other hand, blinked with starry eyes, suddenly stood up and said, "Yes, I can also go hunting in the mountains. Is there any meat in the mountains?" When the mama heard this, she was startled and hurriedly dissuaded her: "Miss, I won't go hunting." Absolutely no, you don’t know something. Spring is about to begin, and these beasts have finished their winter sleep. It is the most ferocious and hungry time of the year, so don’t do anything stupid." Little maid He also nodded and agreed: "Miss, it is indeed not suitable to go into the mountains for hunting now. I heard from Xiao Zizi in the next yard that their young master went into the mountains for hunting a few days ago and was bitten off by a big insect. If it hadn't been for the city guards, People from the army just passed by, I'm afraid they won't be able to come back." The neighbor next door to the Lu Mansion lives a wealthy family who moved from Yuzhou. There is a young man in the family who is 17 or 18 years old. Lu Ling has met him once, and at that time he was almost Give that man a good beating because he'll always look at you.
Thinking of the pretty boy who had his leg bitten off, even Lu Ling, who thought he was highly skilled in martial arts, couldn't help but feel afraid at this moment.
She had witnessed her father Lu Bu fighting with Xiong Zhi. If Lu Bu had not had a weapon to protect himself, he would probably not be able to please him. No matter how confident she was, she would not dare to say that her martial arts skills were better than her father's.
When, when, when...
"What's the sound?" The three women looked around curiously, and their eyes fell outside the courtyard wall.
"...The City Guard is temporarily recruiting workers. Each household can send someone to sign up. After three days, they will go into the mountains to hunt. They will be rewarded with food stamps and meat stamps based on their contribution. Those who are interested should register at the Chengnan Guard Office before noon tomorrow." Lu Ling's eyes lit up, the opportunity was coming.
···City North Guards Station. Wei Cheng held in his hand a collection of incidents of wild beasts injuring people in satellite towns outside the city in recent days, including 23 cases of missing children.
There were no less than a hundred cases of various bites and deaths. There was no other way. As the population base grew, these data would naturally skyrocket.
Not only people, but also some families who adopted livestock suffered heavy losses. Some families had a flock of sheep killed overnight.
There are also vegetables grown in greenhouses in several satellite cities, but wild boars broke into their shacks at night. The fruits and vegetables that could have been picked immediately directly made the animals cheaper, and caused countless indirect losses.
The wild animals that countries in later generations have made great efforts to protect are a scourge in this era, and they can be described as overrun. If we don't find a solution, more people will die.
Wei Cheng was not a soft-hearted person, so he immediately asked Tian Feng to issue a summons order, calling on all the men in the city to form a hunting team.
It is simply impossible to rely on only 5,000 city guards to fight against these elusive beasts. Wild animals are not like humans. They do not live in groups for you to follow. If you really want to deal with them, it will take dozens of people. The hunting team is more flexible.
Of course, Wei Cheng would not really kill them all. Otherwise, some well-intentioned readers would not be able to scold him to death.
He came to the guard station today to specify the hunting manual, which animals should be hunted, which animals could be spared, and which animals needed to be captured alive. Wei Cheng listed them all in detail.
"Master, look at this." Wei Cheng frowned slightly and looked at the roster handed over by Tian Feng.
"Is this girl too busy to make trouble?" Tian Feng said in a funny voice, "Otherwise, I'll just cross her out?" Wei Cheng moved her butt unconsciously and said with some helplessness: "Let's forget it, lest she really makes a fuss and accuses me of being petty and targeting her." After hesitating, Wei Cheng handed the list to Tian Feng and told her, "After all, she is the daughter of Lu Zhonglang, so take care of her a little bit. Arrange her with the home team, so as not to get injured and have to help her clean up the mess later." Tian Feng laughed and joked: "This Lu Fengxian is really a wonderful person, if he knows that his daughter has offended you , I don’t know what to think.” Wei Cheng curled his lips and was too lazy to pay attention to Tian Feng’s bad taste. He glanced at the name circled by Tian Feng with a pen on the roster and didn’t know what to think.
