Chapter 45: Blacksmith Hu!
After repeated washing, the digging of grain is placed in a large pot and cooked, and it will soon bubbling, emitting a unique aroma of grain!
There are more than a dozen voles. After peeling, they remove their internal organs, sprinkle a little salt, wrap them in yellow mud, and place them in the fire to barbecue. This is the same as the "beggar chicken"!
Along the way, I can’t even drink all kinds of grains and wild vegetable porridge. Now I have a large pot of thick pure millet porridge and fragrant roasted rat meat. It’s a good thing that I only have in my dreams!
The children couldn't help but gathered around, staring at the iron pot, and refused to move away for a moment, and some even started to salivate!
"The porridge and rat meat are ready later. No one is allowed to move. Let me eat it first. Have you heard it?"
"I heard it, boss!"
When they heard Xue Yu's request, the friends were a little surprised. When they had food in the past, the boss always gave way to others and gave him the last one to eat. How could he grab it this time?
Then again, the food and field mice were brought by the boss, and it was understandable to eat it first. Therefore, none of the children came out to object, but just muttered a few words in their hearts, why did the boss become selfish?
Has Xue Yu really changed? Of course it is impossible. The reason why he snatched the first bite was not selfish, but great kindness!
Voles live in the wild and are much cleaner than ordinary domestic mice. But no matter how clean it is, they are also rats. They may carry bacteria on them, such as plague, typhus, rat bite heat, foot-and-mouth disease, etc., which are spread everywhere through rats!
There are also food dug out from rat holes that may contain bacteria. Xue Yu did not want his friends to eat these things unless it was absolutely necessary!
But at this point, if you don’t get some food, you will starve to death. You will die even if you die. It’s better to take a risk. After all, there are droughts and earthquakes in the northern Zhili area, but I haven’t heard of any infectious diseases!
However, for safety reasons, Xue Yu decided to take the first bite by himself. If something is wrong, he would carry it alone. If nothing is wrong, it would not be too late to let the friends eat the field mice!
It is the quality of a boss who can make the brothers have enough food and sacrifice their lives for them!
Unfortunately, Xue Yu thought very well, but someone was unwilling to jump out to grab the food!
…………
"Brother, it smells so good. These little kids are making porridge, but they are pure food!"
"Hehe, I know what's wrong. Get out the porridge quickly, otherwise Mr. Hu will kill him and bury him!"
Seven or eight adult men came over, all holding sticks in their hands. They were the leader of a burly man, about twenty-seven or eight years old, with wide shoulders and thick back, wide waist and ten-circle sides. The blue veins on the two thick and strong arms were swelling, and a giant hammer was held in his hand, weighing at least thirty or forty pounds!
The man has a burly figure, but his skin is very fair, his eyes are black and yellow, and his beard is also light yellow on his forehead, which looks a bit weird!
Xue Yu knew these people, all of whom were from this immigration team. The burly man in the head was Hu. He heard that he was a blacksmith with good strength and good skills. Unfortunately, he was in a bad luck. No matter how good his skills were, he could not make money. He had to come out and escape together!
Hu Tiejian was very strong and had a lot of appetite. Because he couldn't eat enough all day, he gathered a group of people to grab other people's food. He didn't expect to grab Xue Yu and others today.
At this time, food is human life, and we must never give in. The mice, flower snakes, monkeys, big blacksmiths and older boys all put their hands into their arms. Just waited for Xue Yu to give the order, he took out a dagger and fought to the death.
Although the remaining girls and the younger children were very scared, they all picked up wooden sticks from the ground and prepared to defend the hard-earned food. Even if they were beaten to death, it would be much better than starving to death!
"The food is here. If you like it, take it away!" Surprisingly, Xue Yu was very obedient and seemed to not want to fight for the stuttering!
"Haha, you guys are tactful, eels, take away all the porridge, we can have a full meal tonight!"
"Master Hu, I just saw it. They put field mice into the fire. Should they take them away together?"
"Forget it, the field mouse has no two taels of meat, it's all full of bones. Besides, these children are not easy, so leave them a bite of food!"
"Yes!"
"ah!"
A yellow-faced man came over and wanted to take away the freshly cooked millet porridge. As soon as his finger touched the edge of the pot, Xue Yu, who was sitting next to him, moved, and the dragon scale dagger slid out of his sleeve!
As the cold light flashed, a finger said goodbye to the original owner. The yellow-faced man screamed, blood gushed from his left hand, and part of it sprayed into the pot. The originally golden rice porridge was instantly dyed red.
"Brothers, guys!"
"Brush!Brush!"
With a sudden shout, the mouse, Baihua Snake and others took out their daggers, led the children to rush forward, and surrounded the other party, with murderous intent on their faces!
The problem is that although there are many children, they are too far from adults in physical strength, so they will definitely suffer if they fight. Therefore, Xue Yu just pulled out the dagger and did not order an attack!
On the other hand, Hu Blacksmith and others also realized that this was not a group of children who could be bullied at will, but a group of little wolf cubs. Especially the boy in the leader, he cut off a finger and didn't raise his eyelids too much. He was such a cruel guy!
Although I am all adult men on this side, I don’t have the advantage in number. If I really fight, even if I can deal with these children, I’m afraid I will have to pay a heavy price. Maybe I will die, so I didn’t dare to do it easily!
In this way, the two sides confronted each other, but they didn't dare to take action easily. It really came true that the old saying was true - hitting the wolf with a scoundrel, both ends were afraid!
"Boy, you're cruel enough, you're a character. Master Hu just missed it, but if you hurt my brother, you can't do it well!
But if you really want to fight, I’m afraid that neither brothers on both sides will be beneficial. I am the boss, and you are the boss, and the boss cannot admit defeat. If you have the courage, how about the winner and defeat with me?"
Blacksmith Hu seemed stupid and stupid, but in fact he was a little cautious. He not only proposed a one-on-one challenge, but also used the method of provoking!
The other party is cruel and ruthless, but after all, he is still young, his body shape and strength are far inferior to him. If he fights one-on-one, he will definitely win.
Taking the opportunity to destroy the other party, he not only exasperated his brothers, but also snatched food, and established his authority among the victims. It can be said that he won three goals in one fell swoop!
However, in front of everyone, it would be difficult to end if you kill someone. After a while, you can just take some action and break one arm of this kid. I was afraid that this kid would be a slippery man. What should I do if I knew that the difference in strength was too big, so I refused to fight with me?
"One-on-one challenge, yes, how do you say the winner or lose?" Unexpectedly, Xue Yu agreed immediately.
"Okay, there is a genius. The real man is just a matter of words. We can fight one by one. If you lose, the porridge will belong to us. Cut a finger to pay the eel and the dagger in your hand. I like it very much and have to offer it!
If I lose, I will take people away immediately and never cause trouble for you from now on!”
Seeing that the other party had fallen into a trap, Hu Blacksmith was overjoyed and quickly knocked the matter down, for fear that the other party would repent in a while!
"Haha, if I lose, I will lose a lot of porridge, a finger, and a good dagger. If you lose, you will leave. Are you a blacksmith or a pawn shop? Is it really good to calculate?
If you want to duel with me, then take out a lottery ticket and make a fortune. I am not interested in accompanying you!"
Xue Yu curled his lips, his eyes full of contempt, and he stretched out a small finger and pointed it downwards!
Other children either grimaced or stretched out their little fingers, and they also looked down on each other and made sarcastic sounds!
"You little bastards... Humph, come here and go over the bottom line. Is there anything valuable?"
He was despised by a group of children. Even though Blacksmith Hu was very thick-skinned, he was a little embarrassed, but he was not easy to refute anything. After all, he was a little inappropriate.
I had to gather a few accomplices to see what valuable things were so that I could take them out to bet, but these people searched all over their bodies and didn't take out a single big son!
Everyone is a victim who escaped from the disaster, and there is still money on them. Even if there is something valuable, they have already taken it out for food. Now everyone has cleaner than their faces!
"Go ahead and try my best. This is my family heirloom. It was passed down by the grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's generation. If you win, it will belong to you!" The blacksmith Hu was so anxious that he had no choice but to pull something off his neck, reluctant to touch it, and put it on a big stone next to it as a bet for this duel!
It turned out to be a white jade pendant, the size of a palm is round like a full moon, with a very good texture, with a cluster of flame patterns engraved in the middle, and two moths are surrounded by them, with their wings spread out, lifelike, as if they are about to rush into the flames. There are some weird words on the back, but they are not Chinese characters!
"Well, moths throw on fire jade pendant!"
Xue Yu's eyes were surprised. He liked to visit the History Museum in his previous life and had seen many precious collections, including a jade pendant, which was almost exactly the same as the one in front of him!
I heard from the tour guide that it was a burial object unearthed from the tomb of a great general of the Yuan Dynasty. It was written in Mongolian: Baduer!
Translated into Chinese, it means warrior and hero!
It turned out that during the Yuan Dynasty, the fearless spirit of moths falling into fire was highly admired, so he gave the jade pendant engraved with moth patterns to the generals to wear it to commend his outstanding military achievements!
Blacksmith Hu said that this is his ancestral object. If he is related to his appearance, is it that this guy's ancestor is a general of Semuren?
Chapter completed!
