Chapter 9 Apprenticeship to Qi Qi to learn skills

As the sun set, Zhang Yaya hurried home with a chicken and a rabbit and two bunches of berries hanging around her neck.Walking halfway, through the forest, I saw many people standing guard outside the house. I looked closely at the patterns on the clothes, all of which were embroidered with clover.

The clover is the family crest of the Zhang family, so it goes without saying that these people are all members of the Zhang family.

Zhang Yaya sneered from the bottom of her heart.

[Hehe, haven't you given up yet?Still want to take me back to jail?Okay, okay, I want to see if you can stay for a few days this time, and if you dare to enter the forest. 】

Carrying chickens and rabbits, berries, bow and quiver, Zhang Yaya walked back to the depths of the forest.She climbed up a towering tree with ease. This is an old tree with extremely tall and lush branches. It can not only serve as a cover for her, but also can observe the situation of the hut from a high position, and can also prevent the invasion of fierce beasts. Kill three birds with one stone. .

Accompanied by the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhang Yaya began to enjoy dinner—raw pheasant and hare.This is not the first time for her to eat raw poultry meat. Basically every time she hides in the mountains, she eats raw poultry meat every time, and never makes a fire in the forest.Eat its flesh and drink its blood.If you eat more often, your stomach can digest it, and your body adapts, so you won't feel sick anymore.

I felt that I was not full, so I dug up two bamboo shoots as a supplement while it was not completely dark, and sat on the tree while gnawing and observing the enemy's situation.Gradually the sun went down, and except for the direction of the hut, the ground was covered with a layer of black cloth, and the forest was pitch black.

Zhang Yaya leaned against the thick tree trunk, humming a little song leisurely and softly, feeling very comfortable and not hard at all.

"Scent of green grass ~ sweet berries ~ lean on the dew and lean on the tree ~~~"

As night fell, Qi Qi and the others in the hut got impatient.

"This girl hunts during the day and doesn't return at night. Could something have happened?" Concerned about it, Qi Qi couldn't help but guess wildly.

Zhang Kuang was not confused, he said with certainty: "This damn girl must be hiding from me again!"

"Hiding? How do you say this?"

"Hiding in a hidden place in the mountains and forests, lying in the deep path of the dense forest, and being with tigers and wolves, it will not let me wait to enter the forest to find her, but also have the power to drive us out of the forest and consume us. Every time I come, It’s all like this, it really doesn’t make sense!”

Zhang Kuangyi's indignation is hard to appease, which shows how many times he has been "bullied" by Zhang Yaya.

Qi Qi stroked his beard, thinking to himself.

Qi Da looked disbelieving: "Patriarch Zhang, are you joking to amuse my master? You have so many men under your command, how can you be fooled by a little girl?"

"You speak so horribly that the villain almost thought it was the "Batulu" battalion of the Jinren!"

Zhang Kuang hurriedly said: "How dare you lie, it's the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask the steward."

Qi Qi said: "She wants to hide in the woods, how many days can she hide?"

Zhang Kuang shook his head: "I don't know."

"do not know?"

"I saw her enter the forest, but I didn't see her coming out of the forest." Zhang Kuang said aggrievedly, "If I could see her coming out of the forest, I would have caught her long ago. Why bother to be tricked."

Qi Qi changed his way of asking: "How many days have you been around for the longest time?"

Zhang Kuang thought for a while: "There are 8 days."

Qi Qi was surprised: "That means she can live in the mountains for at least 8 days!"

Qi Da's pupils were shocked!
[Without food and grass supplies, you can survive in the mountains for at least 8 days!Great! 】

Qi Qi suppressed her inner surprise: "Only by outsmarting"

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Yaya saw the Zhang family pack up and retreat, revealing the ridicule of the victors.

[Can't hold on after only one day?This kind of hunting bait is too low-level. 】

Zhang Yaya jumped off the tree and continued hunting with a bow and arrow, doing whatever she wanted.I lived in the mountains for three consecutive days and two nights, enjoying the scent of flowers and flowers, feeling at ease.

On the third night, seeing that Zhang's family hadn't returned, Zhang Yaya became suspicious and boldly went out of the forest at night. She was familiar with the road and touched the corner of the hut overnight. She didn't hear anything and went in through the window. The sound almost scared her to death!
"You finally came out."

Then there was a bright light in the room, Qi Qi lit a fire and appeared kindly.

A flash of panic flashed in Zhang Yaya's eyes, she instantly understood that Qi Qi and Zhang's family had teamed up, and she jumped out of the window without hesitation, but felt a force behind her, and she saw that Qi Qi was holding her shoulder.

"child."

Just as Qi Qi was about to say something, Zhang Yaya punched him, her slender legs went straight to Qi Qi's crotch.Qi Qi hurriedly resisted with her hands and legs, Zhang Yaya took the opportunity to distance herself and ran towards the window.

Qi Qi stepped forward to chase, Zhang Yaya threw a ball back, Qi Qi took a step back, Zhang Yaya managed to get out of the house.

Snapped! ! !
I don't want to meet a brown bear just out of the tiger's den!Zhang Yaya just stood firm when Qi Da, who was hiding in the dark, hit her on the leg with a stick, and she fell down in pain and was caught.

"See where you're going this time!"

Qi Da took out the prepared rope and tied Zhang Yaya's arms, legs and feet.

Zhang Yaya struggled desperately, but it didn't help.

That night, Zhang Yaya and Qi Qi sat face to face.

Looking at this old face that made her angry, Zhang Yaya let out a deep breath.

"Marshal Qi, can you untie me?"

"No."

"I can't beat you, Marshal."

"That's not OK."

Zhang Yaya was furious: "Taking you in is really the worst decision I ever made!"

Qi Qi said: "Girl, you are very smart, as long as you come one day late, the old man will leave."

Zhang Yaya: "I'm very unlucky."

"No, you're very lucky!" After finishing speaking, Qi Qi took the identity card from Qi Da's hand and placed it in front of Zhang Yaya.

Zhang Yaya frowned: "What do you mean?"

"You can't read?"

"What's the use of literacy?"

Qi Qi had no choice but to say: "This is an identity badge, do you know this thing?"

Zhang Yaya nodded. Her father had one, which was made of wood. He used it as a building block when he was a child, but Zhang Huan found it and beat him to death. Later, he realized that it was used for identity, household registration, and customs clearance documents.She also knew that there were bamboo, wood, copper, gold, and silver ID badges, all of which represented rank divisions.Gold is the most valuable in theory, but silver and bamboo are not bad, especially bamboo, which can only be used by virtuous sages and erudite Confucians. Does bamboo represent character?

Looking at this identity card again, it is actually a gold one.It was the first time Zhang Yaya saw a gold one, and Zhang Kuang's was only a copper one.

Qi Qi said: "It says your name, gender, place of origin, parents, date of birth, and your current name is Zhang Cai."

"Also, from now on, the relationship between you and me is a righteous father and a righteous daughter."

Zhang Cai digested the information, then nodded.

"Recognize me as foster father?" Qi Qi asked.

Zhang Cai said bluntly: "Anyway, I can't beat you, and I can't run away. If I recognize you as a foster father, at least I can avoid the pain of flesh and blood."

Qi Qi smiled brilliantly.

"Girl, you are very smart, and you didn't make it difficult for the old man." Qi Qi praised.

"Can you untie it? Father." Zhang Cai said sweetly.

Qi Qi waved, Qi Da loosened.

"Son, how did you survive these three days in the mountains?" Qi Qi asked, "Where do you live? What do you eat? What do you drink?"

"Eat meat, drink blood, live in trees."

Qi Qi was surprised: "The old man didn't see any smoke in the forest."

"How could I let my adoptive father see the smoke?" Zhang Cai said with a smile, "Of course there is no smoke if you eat it raw."

Qi Qi nodded, and said solemnly: "My child, you have courage and strategy, and what is commendable is your tenacity. Among my peers, I have never seen anyone who is more persistent and determined than you. You are great!"

Zhang Cai said disdainfully: "Those people in the mouth of the adoptive father are wearing brocade clothes and eating jade food, how can my daughter compare with them."

"Father, will I follow you in the future?"

"Why, don't you want to?" Qi Qi asked.

Zhang Cai hugged his legs innocently: "It depends on whether you, foster father, can teach me skills."

Qi Qi asked: "What skills do you want to learn?"

Zhang Cai asked back: "What are the abilities of the adoptive father?"

Qi Qi said: "This old man has the ability to be invincible by a hundred people, and the ability to be invincible by ten thousand people."

Zhang Cai said: "Then I have to learn not only the ability to be an enemy of a hundred, but also the ability to be an enemy of ten thousand!"

Qi Qi smiled and said, "What's the use of learning this?"

Zhang Cai laughed and said, "What's the use of learning this?"

"Kill the enemy, chase the bandits, and defend the empire!"

"Me too!" Zhang Cai said loudly.

Qi Qi didn't speak.

At this moment Qi Qi felt that she shouldn't have the idea of ​​changing Zhang Cai's surname.

She has a wish that does not belong to a woman's family, and this wish will bring disaster.

However, Qi Qi didn't back down, and said decisively: "Okay! Then you will follow the old man from now on, the old man is very strict."

Zhang Cai said: "I'm not a vegetarian either!"

The next day, Qi Qi took Zhang Cai down the mountain, and asked Zhang Kuang for a house to live in, forgetting about all the famous mountains and rivers, and focusing on teaching Zhang Cai.

Zhang Kuang was very happy, not only provided a house, but also carefully selected outstanding children from the clan, and sent them to Qi Qi to serve them.

Cold comes and summer goes, year after year.
