My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 38 The Wolf and the Hunter

The position of the wolf and the hunter has always been very awkward, until the end, no one knows whether they are the prey or the hunter.

At this moment, Hu Biao obviously thinks that he is the real hunter.

The bonfire at the foot of the mountain was blazing, and Hu Biao asked his men to shoot a few rabbits, who were grilling the meat with great interest. Seeing the 'shivering' of the villagers on the mountain, he looked satisfied.

The concept of class in the genes prevents the general public from having the slightest resistance to a bastard like him.

Why did the people in Haojia Village have to abandon their homes and hide in deep mountains and old forests before they met Wei Cheng?

Why did they dare to confront the people of Hujiabao after meeting Wei Cheng, and even imprisoned the court officials?
You know, no matter how bad the alleys are, no matter how wretched the wretched men are, they are all military officers on imperial salaries. They can receive a salary of two hundred shi every year, and there are dozens of people under their hands for their orders.

That's because, the identity of the son of the powerful family of Wei Cheng is enough to cover up the radiance of Hu Biao's body, so that everyone in Haojia Village hiding behind him has the courage to pretend to be a tiger, and dare to take up arms to fight against him, because they have someone behind them.

And the elites of this era are like the families of the beautiful country in the later generations. They control the real lifeline of a country and monopolize all means of ruling people such as business, education, and power.

The fear of powerful families has lasted for thousands of years in our country. Later generations Li Shimin devoted himself to eradicating the aristocratic family, and he was fed up with the aristocratic family's challenge and disdain for the imperial power, but did he succeed?
The answer is no, family-based dominance can never be eradicated.

Throughout the entire Three Kingdoms period, whether it is Cao Aman, the hero of the first generation, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, or Liu Xuande, who weaves mats and sells shoes, their backgrounds are not simple.

Even Liu Bei, who was the most downcast in the early days, was after King Jing of Zhongshan. Liu Bei's grandfather was an official in Dongjun Fan Ling. At the age of 15, he, Gongsun Zan and others worshiped under the disciple of Lu Zhi, the prefect of Jiujiang.

Liu Bei's father died early, and his mother took him to weave mats and sell shoes. On the surface, he looked ugly, but it depends on who he compares with. He must not be compared with Cao Cao, the son of the Taiwei, but if he is compared with ordinary people, then But it's a proper rich second-generation official and three generations.

Hu Biao is ambitious. He is from a bad background, so he just wants to hook up with some powerful people.

Such a person, while longing for power, is also deeply afraid of it.

If Hu Biao knew that Cai Yan was on the mountain at this time, and Wei Cheng also settled here, perhaps he would have found a reason to leave early, after all, he still wanted to give the Cai family and the Wei family face.It's a pity, if there is no if, he is used to bullying the weak and fearing the hard, so why should he be afraid when facing the people of Haojia Village.

The people arranged by Fan Zhiqing had already started to collect pine oil and spread it on the arrows. As long as Fan Zhiqing gave an order, they fired all the arrows and opened up a no-man's land above the lifting platform.

However, the reaction of everyone in Haojia Village was not slow. Almost all the water stored in the village was moved here, even the water tank in Wei Cheng's house was not spared.

At this time, Cai Yan looked anxious, and after asking Hao Dadao a few words, he ordered: "Although the passage up and down the mountain is only here, you must be cautious. You should immediately send people along the cliff to guard against incoming enemies." Hit east and west, climb to the top from elsewhere."

Cai Yan likes to read books, not only read history books and travel notes, but also read a lot of military books. At this time, she seems to be able to arrange the crowd with ease, but she is more worried about Wei Cheng's safety.

Hao Dadao nodded again and again. Although there is no Wei Cheng in charge, it is the same with Mrs. Wei, and Cai Yan’s words have awakened him. He should indeed send someone to patrol to prevent the enemy from climbing to the top from other places. But it's troublesome.

Hao Dadao looked at the people behind him, his eyes fell on Hao Sanzhu's face, and he said, "Third brother, you immediately take 20 people to patrol along the cliff, and if you see someone climbing up, you should throw stones at them, and at the same time arrange for someone to run away." Report back."

Hao Sanzhu was ordered in danger and was about to respond.

Cai Yan frowned slightly, and said in a somewhat heroic manner: "That's not possible, the men don't leave alone, and the women and children are responsible for patrolling and guarding. All the women are divided into four teams, and the guards are separated in four directions: east, west, north, and west. "

Among the crowd, Aunt Manhua's huge body stepped forward, and said to Hao Dadao: "Madam is right, you men can meet the enemy here, and we women will patrol the cliffs."

Seeing this, several brave women also stood up, and even Hao Niang and Xiao'e stood up to express their support for Cai Yan's decision.

The men looked at each other, and finally looked at Hao Dadao one after another, bowed their heads and said: "Uncle, let's do this, Madam is right, there are only a few men in our village, so if we spread them out at this time, in case the enemy What to do if you attack."

Hao Dadao is not stupid, after thinking about it in his mind, he felt that Cai Yan's arrangement was more reasonable than his, so he immediately saluted Cai Yan, and said in a compliment: "Madam is reasonable, so let's do as Madam said, and let Manhua lead the team how?"

Cai Yan nodded slightly, looked at Aunt Manhua, and said, "When you encounter people climbing the mountain, don't panic and fight back indiscriminately. First determine the specific number of people. If there are few people, you don't need to report. I don't need to teach you what to do. "

The women of this era are not small family jaspers. In the past, Hua Mulan joined the army to fight against the Huns in place of her father, and later, Lady Li led the rebel army to guard Niangziguan. Although the women of the Three Kingdoms are famous for their beauty, there are not a few brave ones.

Aunt Man Hua raised her thick eyebrows, and took out the only large kitchen knife in the village from her waist, and said, "Madam, don't worry, they will come and go."

Cai Yan nodded in satisfaction, and only then revealed her real purpose.

"My husband is not here. I am really worried. I want Hao Zhao to take a few people down the mountain secretly and follow the direction where my husband left. What do you think?"

"This..." Hao Dadao frowned slightly, Hao Zhao was his son, and he didn't want his son to take risks.

But Hao Zhao heard the words and took the initiative to invite Ying, saying: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely find the young master."

Behind Hao Zhao, Hutou, Gouzi and other teenagers also stood up, and even the first-class men stepped forward one after another.

Seeing this, Hao Dadao realized that it was not easy for him to stop him, and after thinking for a while, he said, "As Madam said, Zhao'er, you choose a few people to go with you, and while the people in Hujiabao are all focused on the front, you all come from the west. Let the long rope down."

"Okay, I'll start now, Hutou, you guys follow me." Hao Zhao raised the Han sword and shouted loudly.

Seeing this, Cai Yan stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "Don't worry, we will go down the mountain after dark."

Hearing this, everyone looked towards the setting sun in the west and stood in a stalemate for a day. It was already afternoon, and it was estimated that after dark, the Hujiabao people would find a way to attack.

During the day, they can still see clearly if someone is climbing up, but at night, they can't see anything.

···
Back to modern times.

Wei Cheng purchased a lot of things in the market, found a freight company, and ordered a small truck to deliver the goods to his home.

At this time, he was sitting in the passenger seat of the pickup truck, chatting with the driver.

The car went to the bus station first, and pulled on the stab-resistant suits and customized 'handicrafts' that had just arrived.

The truck driver is a real person, and he helped to load and unload the truck, and it only cost 500 yuan for a trip.

After returning home, Wei Cheng, who was exhausted, looked at the goods in the yard, and couldn't help looking forward to the expressions of the villagers when they saw the equipment.

Looking at the time, it was almost five o'clock, Wei Cheng hurriedly took a shower.

Taking the porcelain bottle prepared in advance and a bottle of medicinal wine that I treasured, I went straight to the entrance of the village to take a car.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw a few villagers chatting and laughing. One of them saw Wei Cheng, waved his hand and shouted: "Teng Zi, you can go to the feast too, and come with us."

This person is the next-door neighbor of Wei Cheng's family. He is a few years older than Wei Cheng. He is already married and has children. It is said that he has built a pond in the village to raise his wife and earns 30 million yuan a year.

Seeing this, Wei Cheng greeted him with a smile, greeted the others friendly, and asked curiously, "Brother Jun has a car, why don't you drive there?"

Brother Jun is a man named Wei Cheng, and he joked with a smile: "How can I drink when I drive there? Tonight, a table of dishes is 2888. I took the 1000 birthday gift, so I have to eat back my money... I called the big gold cup from the next door village. , [-]-seater, we just passed by in the same car."

Several other people continued to chat: "Good guy, I heard that Uncle Fang's brother-in-law paid for the banquet. I didn't know that Uncle Fang had such a handsome brother-in-law before. Who of you know him? Tell me!"

Everyone shook their heads, only Wei Cheng was stunned, thinking of someone.

Speaking of which, his father is still his great benefactor.

Soon, the big golden cup drove slowly, and the group set off for dinner, talking and laughing.

Wei Cheng was not very familiar with them. Brother Jun asked him to be the co-pilot. Wei Cheng was happy and quiet, sitting in the co-pilot with his eyes closed and resting his mind, planning how to live a fairy-like life in the Three Kingdoms.

More than ten minutes later, the car stopped at the door of a restaurant.

Fang Xin's family greeted the guests at the door with all smiles on their faces. When they saw Wei Cheng, Uncle Fang came over to say hello.

Everyone knows that Uncle Fang and Wei Cheng's father are sworn brothers. After a few young people tactfully registered the gift money, they entered the restaurant, leaving Wei Cheng embarrassed to face Fang's family.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one there, Uncle Fang said a few reproachful words, to the effect that Wei Cheng was too out of touch. You can go to his house for dinner when you get home, or you can just come over and sit down, don't always stay alone home.

Wei Cheng yelled, saying that he was busy researching the prescription, and Aunt Fang said: "I asked Xiaoxin to bring you breakfast for several days, but you are not at home, and you don't even know how sad our Xinxin is."

"Uh..." Wei Cheng looked at Fang Xin who was on the side, "Really, I'm a sleepy sleeper, and sometimes I'm used to wearing earplugs. I'm sorry, I didn't know you brought me breakfast every day."

Fang Xin glared at his mother angrily, and said angrily, "What are you talking about, who is crazy, I, I'm going to find grandpa, hmph!"

Seeing the back of her running into the restaurant, Fang's parents looked at each other and smiled. As people who have been there, they can see that Fang Xin should be interested in Wei Cheng... However, they did not expect that Wei Cheng has only been a few months old. No, he had long hair.

Other people's long hair is a bit scruffy, but this young man looks extraordinarily energetic and looks very temperamental.

Uncle Fang said with a smile: "After a while, you will sit at Xinxin's table. They are all young people. You should communicate more in the future. Don't stay at home all the time. Come to the supermarket if you have nothing to do."

Wei Cheng didn't know their intentions, so he could only nod obediently: "Uncle Fang, Aunt Fang, you guys do your work first, I'll go in first, and I will definitely nagging you often in the future, just don't find me annoying."

"Hey, you kid." Fang's mother liked Wei Ting more and more the more she saw him.

At this moment, a Land Rover Range Rover slowly drove in at the door, and two people got out of the car.

Seeing this, Fang's mother smiled and said to Fang's father, "Old Fang, Guotao and Xiuying are here."

It was Uncle Fang's sister Fang Xiuying and brother-in-law Li Guotao who came here. Wei Cheng had a little impression of Li Guotao. Before Wei Cheng's parents had an accident, Li Guotao was a frequent visitor to the family.

Obviously, Li Guotao also has an impression of Wei Cheng. After saying hello to his eldest brother and sister-in-law, he came to Wei Cheng and said with a smile: "Xiao Cheng, you are here too. Aren't you starting a company in the provincial capital? Came back on purpose?"

It's hard for Wei Cheng to explain too much, so he just muddled through it casually, only saying that he plans to live in his hometown for a while.

Li Guotao is a person in the business field. He obviously heard Wei Cheng's embarrassment. He laughed and laughed, and said: "It's good to go back to your hometown. You are very capable. Call me."

As Li Guotao said, he took out a bronzing business card and handed it to Wei Cheng.

Wei Cheng glanced at it. The name card read [Xinghua Village Fenjiu Group Co., Ltd.], followed by Li Guotao's position: senior sommelier, name and phone number, and a WeChat QR code.

It was only then that Wei Cheng remembered that Li Guotao went to his father for treatment because of liver function problems.

Thinking of this, he casually asked, "Uncle Li, have you finished the medicine my dad made for you?"

Li Guotao was startled for a moment, then he pulled Wei Cheng over and asked, "I've already finished eating, by the way, will you make that liver-protecting pill?"

Coincidentally, Wei Cheng had made a batch before, and gave it to Manager Zhou who had helped him. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Yes, I have a client who also suffered from drinking alcohol in his early years. He just made it a few days ago. How many bottles do you have at home, do you want?"

"Yes, yes." Li Guotao did not doubt Wei Cheng's ability at all, and hurriedly said: "Give me a course of treatment first, to tell you the truth, I have recently started to feel uncomfortable again. I can't do without the medicine. I can't go to the hospital to see it." It's useless, the doctor said don't drink, but I can't justify not drinking in my job."

Wei Cheng smiled, "You should drink less, liver protection pills are not a panacea."

Li Guotao laughed and said: "At least I can drink some. Those western doctors just told me to stop it. How can this be possible? I still have a big family to support."

Wei Cheng shook his head helplessly, and suddenly remembered the men of Haojia Village, and turned around and asked, "Uncle Li, can you tell me about the wine making process? I'm going to make some medicinal wine recently, but the grain wine on the market is real or fake. It’s hard to tell, I want to try brewing some wine myself.”
