The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 426 410 Nine: Houjiazhuang, Second Little Hunting ([-])
After entering the house, Hou Guantang and his wife quickly served tea and water.

Hou Guantang looked at the two of them and said, "You haven't had lunch yet, have you?"

Tie Niu laughed and said: "We are busy on our way, how can we have time for lunch?

Isn't this going to your house soon? Let's just eat something here, mother!Hurry up and make us something to eat!

Our brothers are already hungry. "

This iron bull is not polite, it is telling the truth!

Hou Guantang's wife agreed to go out, and Hou Guantang said to Hou Hongsheng: "Hongsheng! Your third brother-in-law is here. He is far away from us, and he doesn't come here often. Why don't you call your eldest sister and second sister over here?" .

Here comes a distinguished guest, we as a family have to get together no matter what!

By the way, call your two brothers-in-law over too!
It's rare for us to get together as a family! "

Hou Hongsheng agreed and ran out, Hou Guantang accompanied Tieniu and Duan Wuji chatting.

It wasn't too long, so Hou Hongsheng brought his eldest sister and second sister's family over.

A few children were playing around in the house, ho!The house suddenly became lively.

The whole family sat down around the table, Duan Wuji smiled and said: "You guys talk! I don't have anything to do here, I'd better lie down on the kang for a while before talking!"

Speaking of Duan Wuji retreated from the table, Duan Wuji was not polite, lying on the kang, he fell asleep first, and soon there was a sound.

Tieniu looked at the family and said, "Father, Hongsheng, eldest sister, second sister, two brothers-in-law, I am here this time to give you good news.

She gave birth to Yin Ping this month, a boy named Duan Shengtang by his grandfather. "

Hearing what Tieniu said made the family very happy.

After hearing this, Hou Guantang said excitedly: "This is great, I didn't expect Yin Ping to have a descendant, and it's a boy!

The status of this silver bottle in the family has been further consolidated, thank God! "

When Hou Hongsheng heard that his third sister had given birth to a boy, he was overjoyed.

"Third brother-in-law, so I have a little nephew again, this is really a great thing!

Well, let's celebrate in a moment. "

After hearing this, Tieniu's two brothers-in-law congratulated Tieniu one after another!

"Brother, you are so lucky! You got married in such a short period of time, what a noble man!"

Tie Niu laughed and said, "You two brothers-in-law, I'm not a noble person! At most, I have a few pennies more than you!
What's the matter! "

Hou Hongsheng's eldest sister laughed and said, "I'd better hurry up and make two pairs of cat-toed shoes for my little nephew!"

Hou Hongsheng's second sister laughed and said, "Sister, if you want to make cat-toe shoes, then I'll make a small dress for our little nephew!"

Several children walked around Tieniu, and they called him uncle, uncle, and Tieniu was very happy to hear that.

Tie Niu took off the burden from his body, took out five taels of silver and distributed it to several children.

"Take it, this is the New Year's money that Uncle gave you!
In the future, you will have a future, just don't forget to visit your uncle! "

How many children have seen silver when they grow up so big!Hold it and shake it in front of your parents.

"Father, mother, can this be spent?"

The child's parents were really happy when they saw Tieniu's generosity.

"If you can spend it, why can't you spend it! This is a lot of money! Children can't spend it, let dad keep it for you!
When you grow up in the future, I will give it to you again! "

The children didn't know what the money could buy, so they happily handed it over.

Hou Hongsheng looked at Tieniu and said, "Third brother-in-law, among my three brothers-in-law, you are the richest one!

My eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law are incomparable to you!

Third brother-in-law, you are that rich and powerful person! "

Tie Niu grinned.

"Brother, you think too highly of your brother-in-law, although I have a few pennies, but not much!

Don't look at me on the surface, but in fact I still can't do it!

If my brother hadn't brought me along, maybe I'm just like you, still worrying about food and clothing!

Brother, work hard, I believe our life will get better and better. "

Hou Hongsheng laughed when he heard this.

"Third brother-in-law, I'm living a hard life. For my third sister's sake, I believe you won't leave me alone."

"Well! That's true, but brother, you can't be lazy!

As long as we work hard, how can we have nothing to eat!
Eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, do you think what I said is right! "

A few people were chatting, when Hou Hongsheng's mother walked in.

"Shut up, Tieniu, the meal is ready, hurry up and eat!"

Tieniu saw that his old mother-in-law had baked some big pancakes, and there was another big plate of fried meat.

Tieniu knew that if this small family could make these, it was already the best food.

Tieniu pulled Duan Wuji with his hand.

"Brother, don't sleep, get up and eat quickly."

Duan Wuji climbed up from the kang, sat down at the table, the two of them picked up the big pancake roll and ate two mouthfuls of meat.

Several children are also clamoring to eat!The child's parents were very angry when they saw it.

Raise your hand to hit the child.

"Damn, are you hungry just after eating? You're really hungry when you see food, and you drink water when you see it!"

When Tieniu saw it, he quickly stopped him.

"Since the children want to eat, let the children eat it, and let the children watch it eagerly, do you think we brothers can eat it!
Besides, we are here, you beat the children, where do you think our faces will be put! "

Tieniu's sister-in-law laughed and said, "Third brother-in-law, you don't know that when these children see something delicious, they all want to grab some food, but they are actually not hungry."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Rub it a little bit, it's not poison.

Come, sit down and let's eat together!

It's not impossible for children to eat delicious food from grandma's house. "

The children were so happy when they heard it, they rushed around the table to eat!

In a short while, this little thing was rushing to eat up.

That's nothing left!

Tieniu looked at the children and said with a smile, "Have you eaten enough?"

Several children shook their heads when they heard this.

When Tieniu saw it, he said to Hou Hongsheng: "Brother, it's not a very busy season now, why don't you go hunting in the mountains!

Even if it's hunting a few pheasants or something, that's good!Look how hungry the kids are!

We are poor in the mountains, but it won't be too difficult to get some game for the children to eat! "

"Hey, third brother-in-law, see what you said.

Do you think that the wild beasts on the mountain are kept on the mountain?Did you get it back there?How easy is it?Sometimes you can't hunt one or two wild animals even if you go out for a day!
If hunting was so easy, I would have hunted every day. "

Tie Niu shook his head.

"Brother, look at the weather is still early, we have nothing to do, why don't we go out and hunt for a while!
We have something to eat tonight! "

Duan Wuji stood up after hearing this.

"Okay then! Since you want to hunt, let's go."

After hearing this, Hou Hongsheng and his two brothers-in-law also stood up.

"Since you want to hunt, then the three of us will follow! If you hunt wild animals, we will bring them home for you!"

Tie Niu laughed and said: "That's good! Go, go, hunt wild animals, let's cook them tonight!
Bring a pole, a rope, whatever, and if you catch a large game, we can bring it back!

Hongsheng, you and your eldest brother-in-law will lead our two horses, bring extra ropes, let's go hunting! "

A few people moved as soon as they said they were talking, and immediately started to gather things and started to act!

A child came over and grabbed Tie Niu's hand and said, "Third Uncle, Third Uncle, can you catch the prey when it gets dark!"

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Yes! Sure, we went to so many people, if we can't get anything, wouldn't it be shameful?
You just wait at home, there is guaranteed to be something for you to eat when it gets dark! "

The children were overjoyed when they heard it, and every child had a look of expectation in their eyes!

Hou Guantang saw it and said with a smile: "You all go hunting, then I'll go out and get some wine and come back, let's celebrate tonight!

Wife!Prepare the cooking utensils so that you don't get caught blind when it gets dark. If you are too busy, you can call Hou Jia and Hou Shang over. "

"Well, I see, you can leave this matter alone, you should go and come back early!"

"I know, I know, just leave it alone!"

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu, led by the crowd, went straight to the depths of the mountains in the northeast, and the sun was already westward.

Several people led the horses and had just walked out for three or four miles, when Duan Wuji and Tieniu had already drawn their bows and set their arrows, and quietly drew the bowstrings.

As he was walking forward, suddenly a few pheasants flew overhead.

As soon as Duan Wuban let go, a pheasant fell down.

Tieniu smiled and said, "Brother, you are fast enough! Look at mine!"

Another pheasant was also shot.

Hou Hongsheng hurried over to pick it up, pulled out the arrow, and handed it to two more people.

Tie Niu saw it and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about hunting!
We'll have enough to fight in a little while. "

Hou Hongsheng laughed and said, "Third brother-in-law, who can compare to you! You are the sharp shooters!

The pheasants fly and you can shoot them down, but we can't do it!

Let's see if we can hunt other prey!

Who can eat these two pheasants alone? "

The crowd walked forward for less than a mile, and found five or six wild goats grazing on a hillside. Two of these goats were big, and the rest were half-big.

The two approached quietly, and when a few wild goats raised their heads vigilantly, the two launched an attack!

Duan Wuji shot an arrow in the neck of a wild goat, and the goat kicked its legs and died.

At the same time, the iron bull also shot another wild goat, and the other half-big sheep ran away in fright.

Tie Niu was about to shoot another one, Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Brother Tie Niu, forget it, how much meat can this half-big sheep have!

Forget it, let them talk about it! "

"Well, well, let's let them go today!"

Hou Hongsheng saw it and said with a smile: "Well, this is enough for tonight, I didn't expect this wild animal to look like it was kept in this mountain!

Eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, put the two sheep on the back of the horse with ropes! "

After hearing this, the two men ran over immediately, pulled out the arrows from the necks of the two dead sheep, and tied the two dead sheep with ropes and put them on the horse's back.

Tie Niu smiled and said: "Let's see if we can hunt any more big prey, the wild animals we hunted are really too few.

Let's eat it this meal! "
