Kai Fu Han

Chapter 7 Castle Breaking 2
Liu Qi jumped off the unicycle owned by someone who didn't know who it was. After walking a few steps, he was stopped by the third master Liu Lisheng:

"Xinqi, come to me. I have something to arrange for you."

"Okay." Liu Qi responded and walked towards the third master. The hunting gathering place was full of familiar tribesmen. He thought that nothing would happen to his mother and Zhou Yue.

"You were sleeping just now. Most of the work has been arranged, and I have left you with an important task."

"I will do my best to fulfill your orders." After what happened last time, Liu Qi's character has changed a bit and he is much more responsible than before.

"I know you have been making crossbows, and you are also in good shape. No one of your age has been able to beat you since childhood. The men who entered the mountain this time were all under 20 years old. The clan used to stipulate that no one under 20 years old could beat you. Hunting in the mountains is allowed, so none of the boys here have hunting experience." Liu Lisheng arranged: "I want you to take ten people to hunt some prey in the nearby mountains and forests to supplement everyone's food."

"Okay" Liu Qi responded crisply.

"You choose the people yourself. I will arrange for people to light a pile of wet firewood in the center of the gathering place every hour. You look at the smoke pillar. Don't go too far or climb over the mountains. Be careful of getting lost." Hearing Liu Qi's response. , Liu Lisheng continued to instruct: "It doesn't matter whether there are prey or not. Nothing will happen to the people you take with you. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I will definitely ensure their thoroughness." Liu Qi responded again.

"Okay, you go eat something first, and then go pick people up. Walk into the valley, where the porridge is cooked. When you didn't wake up in the morning, I collected 30 kilograms of barley per person, and we will start eating in a big pot today. . There is no limit for children under 10 years old, and the same for those over 10 years old, three bowls of thick porridge per person a day." Liu Lisheng pointed towards the valley.

"Have you paid it to our family?" Liu Qi asked.

"Your mother handed in three copies this morning, so you don't have to worry." Liu Lisheng replied.

"That's good, I'm going." After Liu Qi said that, he walked towards the direction Liu Lisheng pointed just now.

After finishing the porridge, Liu Qi first looked for Liu Xin. This boy was the smartest among his peers and knew the best about his tribe. Liu Qi wanted to use him to select the ten with the best physiques.

After asking around, I found Liu Xin in the innermost part of the valley. He was leading a group of children to clean up the weeds in the fence, and then collected them to prepare for burning or making a roof.

"Brother Xinqi, are you looking for me?" Before Liu Qi called him, Liu Xinshi saw Liu Qi, put down what he was doing, and walked towards Liu Qi. As he walked, he turned back and said to the children: "You guys have a rest first. For a moment, I haven’t come over, so don’t dig into the grass.”

"The third master arranged for me to go hunting. I think you will definitely be willing to go, so I will come to you first." Liu Qi said directly.

"Of course I am willing to do such a good job." Liu Qi replied excitedly, but as if he suddenly thought of something, Nono said: "But... the third master arranged for me to take these children to clean up the weeds around me. I can't go... If I go away, they are still young and won't alert the snake, and they might be bitten by the snake."

"Oh, since you have an errand, I'll go find someone else." Liu Qi said, "By the way, you know who has the best physique among the people who enter the mountain."

"I know, I know, in addition to Brother Xinhui and Brother Xinjun who were arranged by Third Master, there are also Brother Xingang, Brother Xinyuan, Brother Xinde, Brother Xinkuan, Brother Xinjun, Brother Xinbao..." Liu Xinshi breathed out. I mentioned more than a dozen words, but Liu Qi didn’t remember them for a while.

"Speak slowly so I can remember it better." Liu Qi interrupted him.

"Okay, Brother Xingang..., Brother Xinde..., Brother Xinkuan..." Liu Qi asked Liu Xinshi to say it several times and select ten people to remember based on their images.Then it took half an hour to find everyone. Because it was fun to go hunting, Liu Qi did not refuse anyone he invited.

By the time we got all the equipment, dry food, water, detoxification, and deworming pills and set off, it was already midnight.

After entering the forest and walking for more than 30 feet, I didn't see any moving animals. It was probably the noise in the hunting gathering place that scared the animals away.

After walking for more than 100 feet, Liu Qicai saw two pheasants. After signaling everyone to silence, Liu Qi quietly walked a few steps forward. When he saw that the pheasants were thirty steps away, he took out the pheasants on his back. Crossbow, scissor, aim, and shoot, all in one go.A pheasant in the distance was shot through the stomach by an arrow and was nailed to the ground. The other pheasant was frightened and flapped its wings. It was about to fly away. Liu Qi did not pause and shot another arrow through its wings. Pierced and nailed to the tree behind.

"Wow, amazing."

"You can actually shoot two arrows in a row!"

"Xinqi's shot was so accurate!"

The companions behind were amazed.

"Xinqi, let me try it out later." Liu Xingang looked at the crossbow in Liu Qi's hand and was very envious. This crossbow can actually shoot two arrows in a row, and it can shoot so far, has accurate aim, and is powerful enough. The arrow that hit the tree completely sank into the trunk.

"Okay, I'll meet you later. You can all try it, one by one. Now, collect the two pheasants first, dig out the arrows, and then I'll tell you how to use this crossbow. Finally, everyone can shoot it blankly. Try it out a few times.”

.......
It's September 500th. Just after Shenshi on this day, Liu Qi led the hunting team back to the gathering point. Today's harvest is not as good as the previous few days. Recently, it was discovered that almost all the prey within the [-] feet radius of the gathering point has been hunted. They will leave today. We were so far away that we could hardly see clearly the smoke column in the gathering point.

After arranging for others to take the prey to the cooking area, Liu Qi and Liu Xingang went to the gathering center to put out the still smoking fire.

After more than ten days of renovation, the gathering place has changed drastically. Twenty wooden houses have been added, the ground has been leveled, the fence has been reinforced, and the south, north and west sides have been raised to two feet high.The creek in the valley has been repaired into a canal, and every ten feet, there is a wooden aisle on the canal, which is convenient for children and cars to pass through.The ridges were plowed along the ground inside the fence, and some seasonal vegetables such as spinach, leeks, and lettuce should be planted in it that can grow in autumn and winter.

Just after putting out the pile of wet firewood and preparing to go to the valley for dinner, Liu Qi saw several people rushing in from the entrance of the valley. The leader was Liu Xin'ang, whom Liu Qi had been worried about. Judging from their embarrassed appearance, they probably weren't here to deliver good news.

Liu Qi quickly pulled Liu Xingang and rushed forward to greet him.

"Third Master, Third Master!..."

Liu Xinang shouted while running.

Liu Lisheng heard the shouting and walked out of the wooden house closest to the entrance of the valley.Seeing it was Liu Xinang, he quickly asked:

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is Liujiabao okay?"

"Woo, woo..., it's over, it's over, the fortress has been breached by the Tatars." Liu Qigang ran to Liu Lisheng, and Liu Xin'ang rushed over and knelt down in front of Liu Lisheng, crying: "The fortress is broken, the Jurchen Tatars are here." Just kill people, it’s so miserable, so miserable!…”

"Third Master, Third Master, what should I do, what should I do..." Several young people who followed behind also shouted.

As soon as Liu Qi heard the news, his head was buzzing. He rushed towards the mouth of the valley to see if his father and master had escaped, but until all the clansmen in sight entered the gathering point, his father and master were nowhere to be seen. figure.

Those who escaped were all young people in their 20s.

Ps: Today’s [-] words are divided into two chapters.Then, he was hesitating whether to kill Liu Qi’s master Zhou Xinyuan.
