When? In times of war! 285 What do you want me to do?
Dong Ce smiled at him: "Hou Gongzi, do you like to eat rabbit meat?" β
"I like it!" Hou Fangyu grinned: "I like the spicy rabbit head of 'Sauce Xiangju' my favorite, and I like to eat some on weekdays." The cook at home couldn't make that kind of taste, so he had to go to the sauce Xiangju to find the boss and borrow a master to go to the house to make it. However, this is the ancestral secret recipe of the boss of the sauce Xiangju to pass on the son and daughter-in-law but not the daughter, but it is not easy to force it, and the sauce is specially sent to the house by the boss every day. β
Dong Ce said with a smile: "Today, let Gongzi taste the most tender and fatty hare!" β
"Hare burning?" Hou Fangyu's eyes lit up: "There are hares here?" β
"More than that? This place is simply made in heaven for hares, and it is the place where they like to burrow and dig their nests. β
Dong Ce pointed around: "Hares like to grow in forests close to farmland, and this forest is best for more types of trees. The best place is the bushes in the forest, and the small forest of Yang Huai is the best. And in this vicinity, there must be a water source. There is a water source nearby, and there is a lot of water in the shrubs and leaves, branches, and weeds, and there are usually a lot of wild herbs, which the hares love to eat. And there are a lot of grassroots in winter. β
"Look here, there are low hills everywhere, there are a lot of shrubs everywhere, there is a small river next to it, and outside the forest is the farmland of Yang Hewei, which is not managed by many people, and in the summer, there are a lot of cabbage, wild vegetables and beans, and they also love to eat."
Dong Ce took two steps forward, in front of him was a half-zhang high lump of dirt, on which grew a bush, there was a small gap in the middle of the bushes, Dong Ce pointed to the ground and said, "Look, what's wrong with this ground?" β
"What's wrong?"
Hou Fangyu was very interested, bent down and looked at it carefully, and suddenly sighed, and said in surprise: "Here, it seems to be a road." β
"That's right." Dong Ce said with a smile: "The hare began to come out at dusk, and it was active all night, and it was clear that it would return to the nest in the morning." When the day is dark or drizzling, and the road is sparsely populated, they also come out to forage for food. These little creatures are alert by nature, deaf and sharp-eyed, and extremely fast, and although there are many natural predators, very few can catch them. But there is one thing that these hares are particularly fond of repeating the old path they have already taken. These roads are the rabbit roads. β
As he spoke, Dong Ce was already holding the bow and arrow in his hand, and he pointed at the pimple with a long arrow in his hand: "Look at it again, what's on here?" β
Hou Fangyu was already completely in the state, looked at it carefully, and almost jumped up in surprise: "There is a hole here!" Is it a rabbit hole? β
"That's right."
Dong Ce nodded and said to Hou Fangyu, "Do you want to hunt a rabbit with your own hands?" β
"Yes." Hou Fangyu's eyes lit up, and then darkened: "But I don't know how to use bows and arrows." β
"It's okay, it's okay." Dong Ce said with a smile: "These rabbits are not very flexible in winter, you pick up a stick and wait on the edge of this lump, and when you see a rabbit coming out, you can pick it up with a stick, maybe you can hit it." β
"Okay!" Hou Fangyu picked up a stick as he said, and stood not far from the lump of dirt very excitedly.
Whistled. His jujube red horse was originally gnawing on the grass roots with other war horses, but as soon as he heard Dong Ce's voice, he immediately ran over.
Dong Ce pointed to the lump, stroked the horse's head and said a few words, this jujube red horse has been with him for a long time, and he can understand what he means. The huge horse's head shook, its hooves flew over, and suddenly it rushed towards the lump, and by the momentum of the forward rush, it actually rushed up in three or two.
The lump can not be big, and this jujube red horse is huge in size and heavy at night, and suddenly the ground is heavily shaken, and the mound seems to be trembling.
Many of the hares that had burrowed in them were immediately frightened. The holes they make are not very professional compared to marmots, they are shallow holes dug with their front paws, this kind of holes, about a foot long and about half a foot deep, just curl up the whole body into it. If it is spring, summer and autumn, the body is half exposed outside, shallow in front and deep in the back, in the shape of a dustpan, the back is slightly higher than the horizon, and it is invisible by the role of protective color, and it is very convenient and quick to flee or forage for food and leave.
But in winter, they are also afraid of the cold, so they curl up in it.
With such a shock, the extremely vigilant hare suddenly rushed out, and Dong Ce and Hou Fangyu both saw a lot of gray-yellow figures rushing out very quickly.
Dong Ce had already opened his bow and arrows, squinting his eyes and staring there, and suddenly let go, there was a soft sound, a very slight scream, and a rabbit was shot through the neck. The great arrow was still powerful, and it was driven into the hard ground half a foot deep, and nailed it to the ground. The hare was not dead, its body twitched slightly, and the blood flowed out and stained the ground red.
On the other side, there was a surprise shout from Hou Fangyu: "I hit, I hit." β
Dong Ce followed the sound and saw Hou Fangyu holding a stick in one hand and his waist in the other, laughing. At his feet, there was also a hare lying there, and it was not known whether it was dead or faint.
Dong Ce said secretly: "It's really good luck." β
Speaking of which, it was really Hou Fangyu's luck, when the rabbit came out, he couldn't see it clearly with Dong Ce's eyesight, let alone him. After ten years of cold windows, these reading seeds are a little short-sighted. He just instinctively waved his stick subconsciously, and the result was that he hit a hare on the head.
I was stunned right away.
Hou Fangyu didn't care about getting dirty, he stretched out his hand and walked towards Dong Ce with the rabbit's neck, and said very ostentatiously: "Haha, Brother Hanchen, haha, it's really good to play this stick method, right?" β
He was in high spirits and in a very happy mood. The experience was very fresh, and the fact that he had hunted a rabbit with his own hands also filled him with a sense of accomplishment.
Dong Ce laughed: "Hou Gongzi is really lucky." β
Hou Fangyu's smug feeling was overflowing, and he just wanted to say a few modest words, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but laugh proudly, like a fox who had just stolen a chicken.
Dong Ce has roughly figured out the temperament of this Hou Gongzi, and he can describe it in one word, that is, true. True temperament, not pretentious, not restrained, whatever comes to mind is what it is, a little bohemian, a little bit of Wei and Jin ancient style. And his family background and his own talent are enough to support him to do so.
But don't think he's stupid.
Dong Ce knows very well that he is not stupid at all, and even Dong Ce can't even figure out his reality and reality.
Dong Ce took the rabbit over, twisted his neck easily, and said, "If the son is interested, he can roast it with his own hands later." β
"That's nature, that's nature." Hou Fangyu, a scholar, did not have the consciousness of a gentleman's cooking, but agreed one after another, obviously thinking that the taste he made was extraordinarily delicious.
Dong Ce threw the two hares aside, pulled out the arrows and wiped them on the ground, wiped the blood stains and found a high place to stand on them, looking around vigilantly, ready to shoot the beasts that were driven away.
Hou Fangyu was carrying a wooden stick in his hand, looked at his back in a daze, and suddenly shouted, "Brother Hanchen." β
"What's wrong?" Dong Shizhi turned around in some surprise, and saw that he was standing a little farther away, so he said: "You are closer, if you hook a wild boar later, you can't shoot it for a while, let it see you, but it's a little dangerous." β
Hou Fangyu responded, took two steps forward, and said in a loud voice: "Brother Hanchen, what do you want to do next?" β
Dong Ce's heart was shocked, and his heart finally got to the point.
He's actually very busy, very busy, Rock Fort still has a lot of things waiting for him, and the next training of these knights of the family team is about to begin, and he really doesn't have time to ink around. But he can accompany Hou Fangyu to drink, accompany him to hunt and explore, and even lower his posture and cater to him in various ways.
The reason why I did this was just to get to know him, and to have a certain friendship between the two sides, and then ask him to do something.
Of course, if it was just to take advantage of him at the beginning, then in the past two days, Dong Ce felt that this friend could be made. At least as a family of poets and scholars, and as a man of letters, he did not discriminate and despise military generals, and he was also a very good personβexcept, of course, from time to time in a hurry.
Such people can make friends and maintain friendships for a long time.
A person like Dong Ce who has two lives, who is so scheming and calculating, who is as ambitious as he is and who walks on thin ice step by step, like him, it is impossible to have simple friendship or anything. When doing anything, he will have a certain purpose, but at least, Dong Ce will not bring any damage to Hou Fangyu, on the contrary, it will also give him one more friend and one more way.
Huangtian lives up to his wishes, and Dong Ce's hard work has also made the relationship between the two improve very quickly. It's just that in his opinion, it's not the time yet, and the current friendship between the two can't reach that point. If you are in a hurry and say it in a panic, it may cause the other party's disgust and have the opposite effect. And once that happens, the line is broken.
According to his plan, there will be another three or two days, and when the fire comes, he will find another opportunity to open his mouth logically. For this reason, he also prepared a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, which was not a small amount for Hou Fangyu, who was just a son in white.
Unexpectedly, Hou Fangyu brought it up himself. "Why do you say that?" Dong Ce turned around, put away his bow and arrows, glanced at Hou Fangyu deeply, and said slowly. Hou Fangyu smiled: "I'm not stupid. Brother Hanchen, your temperament, these days, I know a little bit. Fierce and resolute, but not the kind of people who are greedy for pleasure. β
