Chapter 26 A Pheasant

People in Zhangjia'ao have never thought that life can be so wonderful.

Ding Rui was not idle either. He used these few days to observe the terrain of Zhangjia'ao.

Zhangjia'ao is a small mountain depression surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is precisely because it is surrounded by mountains on three sides that it has warm winters and cool summers, and a pleasant climate.

The only drawback is the water source.

As the saying goes, there are mountains and waters. Here there are mountains - Xiugu Mountain. There are also waters - Shuangxi Creek.

It's a pity that the water of these two Xixi streams goes all the way east from Xiugu Mountain, but does not pass through Zhangjia'ao. Because Zhangjia'ao is to the west of Xiugu Mountain.

This is also a headache for Ding Rui. In the past few days, he learned from chatting with farmers that Zhangjia'ao has abundant rainfall all year round, but rainwater alone is far from enough for growing vegetables.

Farmers also pointed out that water is easily lost in mountains that are too far away.

After thinking hard for a few days, Ding Rui came up with the idea of ​​planting potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. because they require much less water. But growing vegetables in large areas cannot be solved by farmers fetching water from home every day. This also makes Ding Rui think about planting potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Rui is in trouble.

"Boss, boss, no good, something happened!" Zhang Ping ran all the way down the mountain, not caring about anything else, and pulled Ding Rui and ran up the mountain.

While running, I explained the whole story to Ding Rui.

It turned out that Zhang Ping and others were hunting in the mountains. They squatted for most of the day and finally managed to catch a pheasant. When they were about to catch the pheasant, who knew, a sharp arrow flew towards them and hit them. The farmers stopped doing anything.

The farmers thought that others were killing their own prey, but the archers said that anyone could hunt the prey in Xiugu Mountain, and whoever shot it first would be his.

The father said that the father-in-law was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right. When Zhang Ping saw something bad, he quickly went down the mountain and reported it to Ding Rui.

When Ding Rui heard this, he thought, who is so powerful that he can hit the target with one arrow? Hearing what Zhang Ping said, this person is like "a hundred steps can pierce a poplar".

The two ran for almost an hour, and they faintly heard someone yelling and cursing. Ding Rui walked in and took a look, hey, why does this person look so familiar? By the way, isn't this Li Si? The hunter from Lijiazhuang.

But at this time, Li Si looked a little embarrassed. His originally shabby clothes were now torn in several holes, like pieces of rags hanging on his body, which was indescribably funny.

Compared with him, the villagers were even more embarrassed, and all of them had failed.

Li Si thought how many people the Zhangjia'ao people could bring if they went to ask for reinforcements, but what they found was a thin, childish-looking child. He was just a little taller, but he was not eleven or twelve years old at most.

While Li Si looked at Ding Rui, Ding Rui also looked at Li Si.

Mr. Li was tall and mighty, about 1.8 meters tall. Standing among these dozen people, he really felt like he stood out from the crowd, but more like a tiger facing a group of lambs.

Li Si is covered in muscles, and judging from his exposed eight-pack abs, his figure is definitely not inferior to that of a fitness coach.

Next to him, in addition to a pheasant, there were two hares.

"You are Li Si, Li Zhuangshi!" Ding Rui didn't know what to call the Orion these days, but he said it as a strong man, and Li Si looked at him in surprise. The others also looked at Ding Rui.

What? Is it wrong? He didn't know that in this era, only great heroes could be called 'heroes', just like people like Cao Cao could be called 'heroes'. And Li Si was just a hunter at most.

Ding Rui knew that the title must be wrong, but since it was wrong, he would make it right.

"I understand the general situation. This pheasant was hunted by Li Zhuangshi, and it naturally belongs to Li Zhuangshi. You can leave!" Although the others were not convinced, they did not refute.

Li Si didn't expect that this group of big men would listen to a child. But he didn't think much and went down Xiugu Mountain with the prey on his back.

After working hard for a day, there was no harvest. Everyone was disappointed. Facing Ding Rui's sharp gaze, everyone lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Ding Rui said nothing and took the lead down the mountain. A group of adults followed him dejectedly. No one dared to say anything.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Ding Rui stopped and said to Zhang Ping, "Everyone is waiting for me at Uncle Zhang's house." After saying that, he ignored everyone and left on his own.

Zhang Qing was shocked when he saw a group of people, except Zhang Ping, who all had scars on their faces. Zhang Ping told Zhang Qing the whole story. As soon as he finished speaking, Niu Er came in and was equally surprised.

Compared with everyone's failure, Niu Er's side is much better. More than forty acres of land have been almost completely planted. He came here just to give Zhang Qing and his employer a message.

I thought that Li Si was not simple before, but I didn't expect that he was actually very capable. Even ten people working together were no match for him. It seemed that he still had some reservations, otherwise, these people would definitely suffer more than minor injuries. Ding Rui thought,

Get the alcohol on the side.

This alcohol was leftover after he applied it to Zhang Qing last time. Looking at the alcohol in his hand, Li smiled. He didn't expect that this alcohol had so many uses in ancient times.

Everyone thought that they would inevitably be scolded by the young master's family, but they did not expect that the young master's family not only did not scold them, but even treated their injuries.

"It hurts a bit. Please bear with it. It's hot today and it won't heal if the wound becomes inflamed." Zhang Qing didn't dare to trouble the young master to do it himself, so he stepped forward to help.

"Uncle Zhang, you have been busy all day, please take a rest. You are not a doctor, so you don't know how to deal with it."

"Doctor?" Before Zhang Qing could react, Ding Rui understood. "I mean, you are not a doctor." "Oh!" Zhang Qing understood, seeing that Shaodong's words were different from others.

But Ding Rui thought: Grandpa, he really said a lot and made a lot of mistakes.

In fact, applying alcohol is simple, and it has nothing to do with whether he is a doctor or not. But Ding Rui knows that this is the best opportunity for him to win people's hearts, and he must not fake it.

The young master personally treated everyone's wounds, and a fire arose in everyone's heart, warming everyone's new house.

Originally, Ding Rui just wanted to calm down today's incident and not let these villagers think too much, but he did not expect that this move won him the hearts of all people. It also made many people go through life and death for him.

After wiping the alcohol, Ding Rui saw that the time was right and said, "I know you will definitely wonder why I let Li Si take away the prey that originally belonged to us?" He looked around for a week. Although no one said anything,

These simple people have already told everything with their expressions.

"There are three reasons. First, the eleven of us did not catch a pheasant for a whole day. Second, the eleven of us were beaten to the ground by one person, and there was no room for fighting back. Just these two points,

We have no way to catch this pheasant. The key is that we all know that if Li Si doesn't shoot the pheasant, our chance of catching this pheasant is not 100%. Right?"

Under Ding Rui's sharp gaze, everyone lowered their heads in shame.

"I know that compared with Li Si, we have less hunting experience, but if I ask a master to teach everyone how to hunt, will you be like today and not be able to catch a pheasant all day long?"

"No!" The one who spoke was Zhang Sanwa, the one who was beaten the worst today. Ding Rui took a look and saw that the worse he was beaten, the more bloody he was. The more bloody he was, the more he refused to admit defeat.

The easier it is to persuade someone if you don't admit defeat.

"No!" Zhang Ping also shouted. Although he was not beaten, his eyes were red. He was the team leader of these ten people. He was not beaten, and it was more uncomfortable than if he was beaten.

"Won't!"

"Won't!"
