Hearing that Li Qingwen said that he wanted to earn money to atone for his crimes, everyone thought it was inconceivable, but they didn't expect Jiang Cong to follow suit, and when they heard that Li Qingwen wanted to stay in the border town, they couldn't help being dumbfounded.

After a long time of astonishment, everyone looked at the other three Li family members.

Li Maoqun was bewildered and hadn't reacted yet.

Li Qingzhuo raised his head and asked his younger brother, "Zaier, do you know how to farm? If you stay here, you will only cause trouble for Big Brother Jiang and the others."

Li Qingrui also said: "It's not that easy to open up wasteland, son, if you are a few years older and want to stay, big brother thinks it's more reliable."

Li Qingwen, who didn't know how to farm the land, still wanted to struggle, "I can learn..."

His voice was too guilty, everyone just took it as a child's words, no longer thinking about it, fell down on the kang, and fell asleep with their heads depressed.

Jiang Cong filled the stove with cow dung, and as soon as he returned to the kang, Li Qingwen rolled towards him like a ball and whispered, "Brother Jiang, can you teach me how to farm?"

"That's physical work. You're still young. Too much effort is not good for your body." Jiang Chung said, "In a few years, when you grow up, let's talk about it."

Li Qingwen puffed his cheeks and said in a breathy voice: "Even if I don't exert myself, there are still many things I can do."

In the darkness, Jiang Cong accurately touched Li Qingwen's face, and poked his bulging cheek with his finger, "Brother knows you are amazing."

Along the way, I didn't hear Li Qingwen complain about suffering and tiredness, and everyone else praised him. Jiang Cong felt a little proud in spite of his distress.

After being praised, Li Qingwen moved closer, and whispered: "Brother, I'm not fooling around when I say I want to stay. My father said that if you have a field, you will be rich. This place is not as safe as the village, but there are so many places here. You guys It’s a pity that we can’t finish planting like this.”

Jiang Cong's breathing paused.

After not getting a response for a long time, Li Qingwen didn't know if he was asleep, so he stretched out his hand to scratch the belly of the person next to him.

Jiang Cong held his hand, his movements were gentle, but his tone was firm, "Not now, we haven't figured out what's going on here, so we can't let you take risks. Besides, we will be transferred to fight at any time. If you stay here, I'm really worried."

Li Qingwen pursed his lips and drew scribbles on Jiang Cong's hands with his fingertips, "Our family only has a dozen acres of Susukida, and it's the same when we grow flowers. Good money..."

Listening to his muttering, Jiang Cong secretly sighed, "I'll think about it again."

As soon as his tone relaxed, Li Qingwen climbed up on the pole, "Brother, as long as you agree, my elder brother and the others will have nothing to say..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Qingrui from the corner said, "Zai'er, this matter needs to be carefully calculated. Big brother won't deliberately stop me, but I don't want you to take risks."

After being caught whispering, Li Qingwen put his head on Jiang Cong's hot body, pretending to be asleep.

Pretending to be pretending, fell asleep.

In the next two days, Jiang Cong and Jiang Liping went out to prepare tools, familiarize themselves with the terrain, make boots from untanned leather, and some people picked up strong tree branches to make slingshots.

They are going to hunt along with them. They don't know that they will be fired with weapons, so they have to prepare in advance.

The day of hunting was coming soon. It was a sunny day, and the sun shone on his face, which even made him feel a little warm.

Jiang Liping, Jiang Cong and the others went to wait early. Lu Gang brought hundreds of soldiers, and all of them set off to the east in a mighty manner.

It was such a cold day, and it snowed again, and most of the wild animals were hidden. With so many of them, they walked for a long time, and only caught a few pheasants.

Riding on the horse, Zhou Fengnian couldn't help yawning, and said: "Why don't you go back, and you will suffer if you don't see your prey in the cold weather."

Lu Gang has always looked down on his style, but his background and official position are far inferior to this person, so he can only suppress the contempt in his heart and say: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, if the prey doesn't come out, let's lure it away." come out!"

While talking, he had the pheasant's neck cut off, hot blood gushed out and splashed on the worn clothes on the ground, and the blood soon soaked the fabric.

The blood-stained clothes were given to Jiang Liping and the others, and they were told to disperse far away, using the smell of blood to lure the beasts out.

The youngest Ma Yongjiang was given clothes, and even if his legs were weak from fright, if he really wanted to attract wild beasts, they would suffer the brunt of it.

The blood-stained clothes became a life-threatening talisman at this time, his hands trembled, and the clothes fell to the ground.

The soldiers next to him pushed him to the ground, punched and kicked him, and shouted, "You can't do this well, waste!"

Ma Yongjiang held his head, he would rather be beaten than take this thing.

Jiang Cong bent down, picked up the clothes, and said, "My lord, he is young and doesn't know much. I'll go."

Jiang Cong walked away quickly with the others, and walked in the direction indicated.

Lu Gang saw all this and only snorted coldly.

The blood-stained clothes were frozen hard quickly, and the bloody smell could not be released. Therefore, they did not attract any beasts when it was dark. Instead, many hares and pheasants were scattered because of the commotion. escape.

It was planned to hunt outside for five days. There was almost no harvest on the first day. Zhou Fengnian took out the snow-white steamed buns, fried bacon and fine wine from the heavy food box. After heating them on the fire, The scent wafts far.

That night, the exiles slept in the snow, Lu Gang and the soldiers lived in coarse cloth tents, Zhou Fengnian and his bodyguards seemed to come to play, they not only built a thick tent, but also spread an unknown number of layers of fur The carpet, like this, has been sipping cold.

When they set off the next day, Jiang Liping and the others went to help clean up and found that he had brought a large box of charcoal with him.

On this day, a hundred of them killed six roe deer. Zhou Fengnian said in a dispirited voice, "Is it because there was no worship before hunting? You should worship the mountain god. I heard that there are quite a few hunting rules."

Lu Gang shook his head perfunctorily, and roughly ordered the exiles to go deep into the mountain.

On the third day, traces of the black bear were found. The whole body of the black bear was full of treasures. The hunting team got excited and started tracking along the black bear's mark.

Jiang Liping and the others were not happy at all, they only had a wooden stick in their hands, and if they encountered a black bear, they would be courting death.

But the soldiers drove them away with whips behind them, so they had to bite the bullet and move forward.

Fortunately, they tracked it all the way into the night, but they couldn't find it.

Unwilling to give up, Lu Gang set up camp in the same place, stabbed the prey he caught, and did not eat it to lure the black bear.

Once the prey's wound is frozen, the soldiers cut it elsewhere. The wound should not be too large, otherwise the prey will die soon.

Jiang Liping and the others looked at them, cursing these people and beasts in their hearts, but they dared not speak out. Their situation is no better than these prey.

Putting the bait, Lu Gang asked the exiles to dig the trap, which is so icy and snowy that it can be dug by hand? !

Even Zhou Fengnian shook his head, but Lu Gang was bossing him around, "Why can't you dig it, dig it for me, you have to dig out the trap with your fingers!"

Of course, you can’t dig hard directly. First, remove the snow, burn firewood on the broken soil, and then do it when it’s hot.

According to Lu Zhenguan's instructions, the exiles dug on the ground in groups of three and four, and no one noticed that a few dark shadows came over in the dark.

Lu Gang was warming wine in the tent, when he heard the neighing of a horse next to him, he ordered someone to look at it, but just as his men left, he suddenly heard a scream, he stood up abruptly and knocked over the jug on the table.

The tent door was pushed open from the outside, and a black head poked in. Lu Gang was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and looked at the bear at the door. He knew that if he was not careful at this time, he would die.

Xiong broke into the door, Lu Gang finally couldn't help it, and screamed: "Come, come, come, there is a bear!!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the black bear rushed forward and slapped it with one paw.

Lu Gang's screams were miserable, and the camp suddenly changed, and the soldiers drove the exiles to kill the bear to save people.

The black bear attacked and lit torches everywhere. When everyone arrived, Lu Gang was lying on the ground with half of his face dripping with blood, and the black bear was nowhere to be seen.

At the same time, the inspection found that six or seven horses were killed by bears. Looking at the footprints left on the ground, more than one black bear sneaked into the camp.

Lu Gang was lucky, he was still alive after being injured by the bear, everyone didn't dare to delay here, and returned immediately the next morning.

Jiang Cong and Jiang Liping were arranged to carry them. Half of Lu Gang's face was shattered. He looked horrifying, but the exiles felt that they were happy to relieve their hatred. This kind of person is only clean after death.

Back at the border town camp, the military doctor was called to treat the wounded, Jiang Liping and the others stood where they were, not knowing whether to stay or go.

At this moment, Zhou Fengnian, who was still as fresh as new after walking for a few days, looked at Jiang Cong and said, "Little brother, you look familiar, I seem to have seen you somewhere..."

Before Jiang Cong could reply, he looked stunned, and said, "I remember, martial arts tournament! You won the first place for three years in a row, and General Qu even specially taught you martial arts and archery, Jiang, Jiang Cong!"

Unexpectedly, someone would recognize Jiang Cong in this wild and desolate place, and Jiang Liping was taken aback.

The so-called martial arts competition is that all the government soldiers from the prefectures and counties come to the capital to stay in the guard. In order to inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers, a specially set up arena is set up to compete in kung fu and archery. Important, mainly to win face for the state capital in his hometown.

There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the north and south of the river, and there are many talented people among them. Jiang Cong's superb archery skills overwhelm the crowd, which really makes Hongzhou a lot of scenery.

Jiang Cong smiled wryly, and saluted, "Lord Zhou, you are a criminal."

Zhou Fengnian nodded again and again, his expression unchanged, and he shouted sharply: "Come on, tie up Jiang Cong!"

The soldiers next to him thought that the old acquaintances would be polite when they met, but Zhou Fengnian suddenly changed his face. He didn't know why, but he still surrounded Jiang Cong and tied him up.

"Give me thirty boards!" Zhou Fengnian changed his usual slow and lazy appearance, and spoke harshly.

Jiang Cong didn't argue, just shut up and accepted.

Jiang Liping and others interceded one after another, and Zhou Fengnian returned to his usual appearance, saying: "You are all soldiers from Hongzhou, don't worry, it will be your turn after beating him!"

Not knowing what he wanted to do, and not daring to provoke this uncertain person again, Jiang Liping and the others immediately fell silent.

The board fell on the meat with a blunt sound.

Thirty strokes later, Zhou Fengnian looked down at the person lying on the bench, and said, "Jiang Cong, I didn't want to beat this board. It was General Qu who wrote to tell me to teach you a lesson. He cherishes it." Talent, I tried to take you under my command many times, but in the end you were unable to discipline your subordinates, and ended up in today's end, do you think you should fight or not!"

Jiang Cong bowed his head, and said in a muffled voice, "Jiang Cong has the love and cultivation of General Negative Qu, so he should fight!"

Zhou Fengnian helped him up, with a smile on his face, "He asked me to hit you thirty or fifty times in the letter. I only pick the least one to hit you. You have to remember this situation. In addition, General Qu asked me to beat you Strict discipline, farming and fighting here, if given the chance, he will plead with the imperial court to pardon your crimes."

Unexpectedly, the twists and turns, including Jiang Cong and Jiang Liping, knelt down to thank General Qu for his kindness.
