The general is wise and mighty

An Sheng had to say that Xiang Ji's musical skills were pretty good, he could sing the chorus after at least two teachings by himself; next was Long Qi, who was also able to follow it stutteringly.

An Sheng curled his lips silently, it is useless for these two people to learn to sing, and it is absolutely impossible for him to subdue them.

But the summer here is extremely hot, like a stove, An Sheng's throat is already smoking, so he waved his hand: "Go home and practice, everyone must be able to sing."

Xiang Ji moved closer to An Sheng: "Why let them learn this?"

An Sheng glanced at him and kept it mysterious: "After they meet, I will find a chance for you to see the use."

Long Qi was also puzzled by Monk Zhanger: "Aji, why do you want to learn this?"

"I don't know either. Forget it, let's learn it, as it is owed to him."

The two looked at An Sheng's receding back, and felt that there was a word to describe it - stern.

It didn't take long before the little friends could basically sing and hum a few words when they had nothing to do, so that the adults in the village didn't know what their kids were muttering every day when they had nothing to do.

Soon, An Sheng also had the opportunity to show his usefulness.

One day, early in the morning.

"An Sheng..."

An Sheng fell into a drowsy sleep. When he heard someone calling him, he ignored him, waved him away, and continued to sleep.

But the man persevered—

"An Sheng... An Sheng... Wake up..."

An Sheng stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt to cover his head. The mosquitoes were raging the night before, so he fell asleep very late.

Unexpectedly, the quilt was thrown off, a pair of big hands pinched An Sheng from his armpits, and a cold towel was wiped on his face twice, successfully waking An Sheng up.

An Sheng reluctantly opened his eyes, looked at Xiang Ji who was supporting him: "What did you call me so early?"

"Eat breakfast and go up the mountain." Seeing that An Sheng was awake, Xiang Ji pointed to the low table on the bed.

As soon as An Sheng lowered his head, he saw the porridge and side dishes arranged and smiled.

"so good."

"Well, hurry up and eat."

While eating, An Sheng's mouth was still restless.

"How can you cook? It doesn't look like it."

Xiang Ji closed his eyes and leaned his head against the wall: "Uncle has to go out to work. Xiao Zhuang is still growing up, so he can't always eat cold food. I'm older than him, so I'll make it for him."

An Sheng took a bite of food: "I also want to have a brother."

Xiang Ji opened his eyes and looked at An Sheng: "I'm not your brother?"

"Huh? We're not related by blood..." Seeing that Xiang Ji didn't quite understand, An Sheng continued, "This is called a brother, even if you worship him, it's not a 'brother' in the scientific sense. Remember. : This 'brother' is not that 'brother'." Unambiguous.

Xiang Ji still doesn't quite understand what "science" is, but he is also unwilling to delve into it: "Hurry up and eat, and later go up the mountain to catch wild boars."

"Ah? Yeah..." An Sheng became inexplicably excited, feeling that the male hormones in his body had been mobilized, "Is there something in Houshan?"

"Yeah. Xiaohu saw one big one and three small ones yesterday. Go and have a look." Xiang Ji heard voices in the yard, "It seems to be here."

An Sheng hurriedly finished the meal, ran to wash it up, and went to meet Xiang Ji in the yard when he was ready to go.

Guo Hu teased the puppy around the yard, while Xiang Zhuang hid far away, waiting for everyone outside the yard.

An Sheng was just about to say let's go, when he heard the dog barking in a different tone, he was startled and turned his head to look.

The puppy was running towards An Sheng with a pitiful expression.

An Sheng squatted down to check, and found that the puppy's right front paw was raised up and did not dare to touch the ground, and there was still a little bleeding.I heard Guo Hu's cautious voice: "Uh, I accidentally stepped on it..."

An Sheng was busy checking the puppy's condition. After a careful look, there should be no major problems. He washed it with water, found a piece of cloth to wrap it up, put the puppy in the house, poured the water, and went out again. .

"Eh? Chicken, what are you doing?" An Sheng actually said "Chicken", but it was quite similar to "Xiao Ji", and Xiang Ji didn't notice it either.

Xiang Ji had already grabbed Guo Hu by the collar and put him on the ground, looking at An Sheng: "What do you think?"

"Huh?" An Sheng understood Xiang Ji's intentions, walked over and squatted in front of Guo Hu, "Little Tiger, you said that you are so big that you almost crushed the puppy, what should I do?" As he spoke, he pretended to be helpless.

Guo Hu was pitifully frightened: "Brother, brother, it's all brother, please forgive me..."

"Well, I won't hit you." An Sheng got up and stood beside Xiang Ji, "Sing a song for my brother, the one I learned a few days ago, what's it called?" An Sheng patted his head.

"Conquer and conquer." Xiang Zhuang ran in with excitement on his face.

Guo Hu thought about the lyrics, then looked at his current situation, and said with a different humiliation than before: "Being conquered by you like this, cutting off all retreats, my mood is firm, and my decision is muddled..."

"Ah, okay, I'll forgive you." An Sheng waved his hand in a good mood, and raised his eyebrows at Xiang Ji—see, it's very beneficial.

The corners of Xiang Ji's mouth also slightly raised, a different feeling of conquest, which is quite good.

The three went out in a good mood, Guo Hu followed behind, aggrieved, with dirt on his trousers, looking like a pissed off daughter-in-law.

On the side of the road up the mountain, the four people met with their friends, all of them had different expressions of excitement on their faces, and some people took a rope and a big fork for hay, and they all looked ready.

Xiang Ji seemed to have great leadership skills: "Two people, don't act rashly after seeing it, one person will follow and leave a mark, and one person will go to the companion. The most important thing is not to get hurt. Let's go." With a big wave of his hand.

An Sheng naturally stood next to Xiang Ji, and when he saw Long Qie running over, he was startled: "Why are you here?"

"A team with Ah Ji." Long Qie pointed to Xiang Ji as a matter of course.

Only then did An Sheng remember: Yes, everyone must have a partner.Looking around again, everyone except Xiang Ji had run away, and he was instantly dejected.

Xiang Yu came over, patted An Sheng's head, slid his hand down his cheek to his chin, and lifted An Sheng's chin up: "Why?"

An Sheng pursed his lips: "You two are in a group, who am I with?"

Xiang Ji glanced at Long Qi who was standing aside, and returned his gaze to An Sheng's face: "I'm going to be in your team. You don't have the ability to protect yourself, but he does."

An Sheng was very happy when he heard the first sentence, but his mood became gray again when he heard the second sentence, but he was telling the truth.

Now it turned into a dragon and was terrified: "Aji, we used to be in the same team. Why are you like this!"

An Sheng suddenly thought of a word—be chaotic from beginning to end.

"Then let's make a group of three." Xiang Ji was very calm, very composed, with the demeanor of a general, "How about the two of you in a group, and myself." After finishing speaking, he walked up the mountain.

An Sheng and Long looked at each other, An Sheng didn't believe that Long could be stronger than Xiang Ji, and Long didn't want to bring a oil bottle, so they all hurried to catch up with Xiang Ji, grabbing his arms one by one, and went up together. up the mountain.

The temperature in the mountain forest is gradually rising, and the humus accumulated over the years exudes a not-so-beautiful smell. An Sheng wrinkled his nose and continued to follow behind Xiang Ji, paying attention to the surrounding situation, when he suddenly heard bushes coming from the right rear With the rustling sound of being separated, he turned his head to look vigilantly, and was dragged behind him by Xiang Ji, and Long Qi also prepared to attack

The three men stared at the noisy bush with tense muscles, and a little friend from the village came out after him, making a false alarm.

The young man beckoned to Xiang Ji: "I found it."

Xiang Ji waved his hand: "Let's go." The three followed the young man along the way he came, and saw another one after a while.

Xiang Ji was squatting in the grass, An Sheng hurriedly squatted next to him, followed Xiang Ji's gaze, and sure enough, he saw a black wild boar with tusks, humming and humming. He also followed three little wild boars with yellow patterns on their backs.

The boy who just went to call Xiang Ji came over and asked in a low voice, "Are you only catching the small ones? The big ones are too difficult."

Xiang Ji shook his head: "No, if you want to catch the small ones, you have to catch the big ones first, otherwise it will be troublesome."

Several people stood in the downwind, and there was no movement for a long time. An Sheng couldn't bear the smell of the wild boar, so he disarmed and surrendered first, stood back a little, and took a few breaths.

Feeling that An Sheng was leaving, Xiang Ji patted Long Qi, and retreated to An Sheng's side: "Why don't you go down first, I don't know how long you'll have to wait."

An Sheng fanned his nose with his hands, glanced at the vines next to him, and pulled it, feeling okay.Just asked in a low voice: "Are there any branches with strong toughness?"

"Branch?" Xiang Ji frowned, but agreed, "Now? I'll find it for you."

It didn't take long for Xiang Ji to come back.

"Give."

An Sheng took it and pulled the vine: "Tear this off."

Xiang Ji was puzzled, so he followed his advice and handed over to An Sheng with the least noise.

An Sheng picked up a branch and reached out to Xiang Ji: "Hairband, dagger."

Xiang Ji took out a short dagger from his waist, untied the hairband on his head, and handed it all over to An Sheng, wondering what he wanted to do.

An Sheng got what he needed, and sat down on the ground to fiddle with it. It took some time, but he still got the weapon and put it back in Xiang Yu's hands.

"You try first."

Xiang Ji looked at the strange thing in his hand: "A bow and arrow?"

"Yes." An Sheng nodded: "Try first."

Xiang Yu raised it, pulled it away, let go, and the branch with the dagger flew out and stuck on the trunk five meters away.

An Cheng's mouth opened wide, he was very surprised, he also pulled it just now, didn't think it would have such a great power, it really depends on the person.

Xiang Ji was quite satisfied. He went over and pulled out the dagger forcefully, and said to An Sheng, "Let's go."

Only then did An Sheng realize that the other three had already gone a long way after chasing the wild boar, leaving only Xiang Yu and himself.

When he came to the three of them, Long Qi asked, "Why did you two go?"

An Sheng waved at him, and Long Qi approached him, only to hear An Sheng say: "I won't tell you." Immediately, Long Qi was so angry that he couldn't do anything because of the situation at the time.

An Sheng regained his balance, and tugged at the hem of Xiang Ji who was aiming at the side: "Try to shoot the eyes."

Xiang Ji then changed his angle, aimed at the wild boar's head, waited for the opportunity, and let go.

An Sheng heard the wild boar's scream, and watched the wild boar's left eye being hit by a dagger, went mad, and rushed towards him.

Fortunately, Xiang Ji reacted quickly, hanging the bow on his shoulder with one hand, and pinching An Sheng's waist with the other hand to clamp him up, and ran back, not forgetting to rush to Long Qihan: "Long Qi, look! Stay small."

Long Qie had already rushed a few steps, but when he heard Xiang Ji's shout, he braked sharply and ran to the right.

Xiang Yu led An Sheng to run a few steps and turned to the side to let the wild boar pass by, and An Sheng came back to his senses.Looking at the two boys who were fighting with the rabbit in front and the wild boar behind them, I couldn't help feeling Xiang Ji's wisdom, but unexpectedly, Xiang Yu dragged him and ran after the wild boar's footprints.

"What are you doing?!" An Sheng didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear of attracting wild boars.

"Don't get lost." Xiang Ji ran fast, but he was still able to talk, his face didn't turn red and he couldn't breathe.

The wild boar ran for nearly 10 minutes, then fell to the ground, panting heavily.

Xiang Ji put An Sheng aside, took the machete he brought from home, walked softly and slowly to the side of the wild boar, took a deep breath, and chopped it down with all his might.

An Sheng couldn't bear to watch the bloody scene, even if he turned his head away, someone patted his shoulder, closed his eyes and shouted: "I don't want to watch, I don't want to look at it."

"I didn't let you see it." Xiang Ji couldn't help laughing, "He's dead."

"Really?" Only then did An Sheng dare to look at the scene of the crime. It wasn't too bloody. Xiang Ji slashed the wild boar's neck with a knife, and his death should not have been too painful.An Sheng nodded.

"What are you doing now?"

"Find a wooden stick, tie it up and carry it down." Xiang Yu immediately started to move, "Stay here and watch."

"Oh." An Sheng obediently squatted next to the wild boar, playing with the pig's hair.

"Dead, dead?"

An Sheng looked up and saw the two teenagers he had just seen, sweating profusely.

"Well, the chicken was hacked to death."

"What about the Aji people?" a teenager asked.

"I'm looking for a wooden stick." An Sheng rolled his eyes, "Why don't you two go find Long Qi? By the way, catch the little pig."

The two teenagers nodded in agreement, and searched in two directions.

Soon Xiang Ji returned and brought back two ropemen, one Guo Hu and one Xiang Zhuang. The three of them worked together to tie the wild boar.

An Sheng smiled unkindly when he saw the returning Long Qie.

Long Qi glared at him angrily: "What are you laughing at, is it funny?!"

An Sheng immediately said seriously: "It's funny, I'm not lying to you." After speaking, he laughed again.

Long ignored him, holding three little wild boars in his arms and asked Xiang Ji: "A Ji, what about the three little ones?"

Xiang Ji thought for a while: "It's too small, not enough to eat."

Long Qi blinked: "That can't be let go, how hard I was."

"Then you keep it and eat it when you grow up." An Sheng suggested with a smile.

Xiang Zhuang nodded, and put his hands on Longqie's shoulder: "Good idea, you can keep Longqie, fatten up and eat meat."

"Fuck off! Raising wild boars? I've never heard of it." Long was not very happy.

"Then you can be No.1." An Sheng stroked the three little heads one by one, "The pigsty is reinforced, and the ground is paved with stones, so it should be fine."

Long Qi curled his lips and had no choice but to agree: "Anyone who wants it can take it away, three is too many."

An Sheng and Xiang Zhuang looked at each other and smiled, Xiang Ji also smiled and shook his head, "Long, you just hold it. Xiao Zhuang, let's carry it down; Xiao Hu, call everyone back."

When Guo Hu heard this, he picked a leaf from the side and blew on it, then threw it away, which made An Sheng feel very proud.
