Chen Liang scratched his head, "My dad's guest? "Who is it?"
The soldier shook his head. "This little one doesn't know."
Mo Yin had returned to her father, Mo Qian.
Seeing his daughter running in in panic, Mo Qian lowered his head and asked softly, "What happened to Yin? What did we encounter outside?"
Mo Yin snuggled up to Mo Qian, glanced at the door and whispered, "It's that boy who fought with Second Brother a few days ago. "He's so annoying. He brought a bunch of people to snatch a jar of grasshoppers Second Brother caught, and even pushed me down onto the ground."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Mo Qian finally understood why his second son became enemies with the other children in the village.
When Chen Zhidong heard this, he immediately understood that Mo Yin was talking about his son. He immediately got up and strode to the door of the hall. He shouted to his son who was peeking out from behind the pillars, "Chen Liang, get the hell in here!"
When Chen Liang heard his father yell at him again, he was so scared that his whole body trembled. He lowered his head and carefully walked over.
When he entered, he saw Mo Yin snuggling by the side of a robust man, looking very proud of having someone to support her. He couldn't help but roll his eyes inside.
"Father." After entering, he stood obediently in front of Chen Zhidong.
"Come on, let me tell you. This is your father, my big brother. That little girl, she's your sister. Tell me honestly, was it you who bullied him before he beat you up? "
Wu Shuang Shuang greeted Mo Qian as if he was an eggplant beating on an eggplant. He glanced at Mo Yin, but didn't say the word 'younger sister' out loud.
That day, when he returned to his home in Qingyang Pass City, he had complained to his mother that he had bullied a child that he had moved in today, that he had met her outside the city. Ask his mother to inform his father so that he can vent his anger. Otherwise, his position as the king of Qingyang Pass would not be preserved. The next day, when his father still hadn't returned home to vent his anger, he couldn't help but be unconvinced. He brought people to the place where the siblings were, wanting to reestablish his prestige. He didn't expect to be beaten up by that brat again. He warned him not to show up again.
This time, he truly felt that he had shamed himself greatly. After returning home, he wailed for his father to make the decision. At that time, his subordinate found out about Mo Jun's family's situation, so he told his father that he was a criminal official, and that the son of that official bullied him.
He didn't expect his father to not only not give him justice, but also bring him from home to the army, not allowing him to hang out with those little brats again. I don't want to be a bear king that even dogs hate.
"Father, that day, I didn't know who she was …" Chen Liang hummed in a low voice, "You know, I definitely won't bully her."
"Then that means you lied to your mother?" Chen Zhidong stared at his son with his bell-like eyes.
Chen Liang tremblingly nodded his head, and then kneeled down in front of his father, "Dad, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied. "
"Did you push your sister to the ground?"
"It's not me …"
Chen Zhidong: "Hm?!"
"Yes …" "It's me …" Chen Liang felt that he had been wronged, and it was clearly Zhang Monkey who pushed her to this point.
"Did you steal a jar of grasshoppers?"
"Yes …"
"Good boy, who taught you to steal other people's things? Are you a bandit or a barbarian from North Hu? "
Angry, Chen Zhidong stood up and raised his foot to kick. Mo Qian jumped to his feet and stopped him. "No!"
Chen Zhidong said to Wu Tie, "Big brother, this child usually uses my name to mix with a bunch of kids and makes trouble in the countryside. I saw that it didn't cause too much trouble, so I just turned a blind eye and didn't discipline him too much. Seeing the consequences of his indulgence, he had actually learned how to steal things. If I don't beat him up, I'm afraid that I, Chen Zhidong, will be annihilated by my own son! "
"You can't beat a child even if you teach him." Mo Qian advised. That was his principle.
Only then did Chen Zhidong recover his anger. Recalling that Mo Qian punished his son with confinement, he shouted towards the outside, "Men, lock this useless thing in the woodshed. He is not allowed to come out without my orders! "
Two personal guards came in and lifted Chen Liang up from the ground before bringing him to the door of the hall.
Chen Zhidong waited until the stinky brat from his own family disappeared outside the door, then turned to Mo Yin with a smile and said, "Good girl, I have already punished that brat from my family. "Don't be afraid."
Mo Yin looked at her uncle who was still fuming just now. She turned around and smiled. He was originally rough, but even when he smiled, he looked like a ferocious tiger. She could not help but feel a chill run through her body. How could she not be afraid?
Chen Zhidong looked at himself and smiled. The little girl seemed to be even more scared now. Embarrassed, he tried to salvage the situation by himself, "Sigh! My family is all sons, no girls, and I don't know how to talk to girls. Big brother, don't be funny! "
Mo Qian gently waved his hand, "No problem." This daughter of mine isn't raised according to a lady's background. She used to be a big and tall general. She had already gotten used to it when she was young. "He's not afraid of people."
Chen Zhidong laughed out loud.
After staying in the yamen for half a day and having lunch together, Mo Qian saw that his eldest son had settled down and took his leave. Chen Zhidong then ordered someone to bring over a lot of wintertime materials to load on Mo Qian's oxcart.
Mo Qian refused it a few times but was always stopped by Chen Zhidong. He said, "To tell you the truth, Brother, the reason I'm 'trying to please' you is so that you can help me if you need anything in the future."
Mo Qian was puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"
Chen Zhidong rubbed his hands, "Big Bro doesn't know. In this place like the Qingyang Pass, if it weren't for the terrain being so dangerous, it would be easy to defend and attack. I heard recently that the last King of Sweats died of a disease. The new Khan, Chigurh, was a belligerent man, and his strength could not be underestimated. Five years ago, he once brought troops to attack my Qingyang Pass. I repelled him. Now that I have become a big sweat of North Hu, not only will the heart of my Dongyue not die, it will only become more and more wild. I would like to ask big brother to help me analyze the situation if you have the time. Big Brother did not have the ability to fight with my Dongyue anymore, but this North Hu is a new threat. "
Mo Qian knew about the North Hu attack five years ago. At that time, he was in the Western Territory of Dongyue to deal with Western Barbarian. Knowing that Qingyang Pass was easy to defend and hard to attack, and also receiving the news of the invasion, the enemy troops were defeated and fled. He even praised Chen Zhidong. He said that it was all thanks to him defending this place and not causing the Dongyue to suffer.
He never would have thought that he would meet Chen Zhidong here today.
Mo Qian looked at the sturdy city wall, clasped his hands behind his back, and said to Chen Zhidong, "I will take this to heart." Normally, you just need to send a few scouts and scouts to check out the movements of the North Hu. "I believe that Chigurh has suffered a setback here and he will not come again."
"Yes, I'll do as Big Brother says." Chen Zhidong said.
"You are more familiar with this place than I am. I assume you have already considered everything." Mo Qian laughed.
"Big brother has to give a lot of advice." Chen Zhidong said, "Big Bro has fought in the war for many years and has more experience than me."
The two of them walked along the city walls for a while, then talked about how the Qingyang Pass and troops were arranged and defended. Mo Yin, who was hugged by her father, felt extremely sleepy as she listened. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned. Seeing that, Chen Zhidong said embarrassedly: "Look at me, when I talked to my brother about this, I just couldn't stop talking. He had completely forgotten about his niece. Brother, let's wait until we have some time before we have a good chat. It's getting late, so big brother should start his journey back. "
Mo Qian nodded, "Alright, let's talk in detail when there's a chance."
At this time, Mo Jun, who was called an overlord by the monkey at home, had already led his sister's rabbit and followed it to a hillside that was about five miles away from home. The rabbit saw a hole and struggled to get in. Mo Jun quickly pulled it out. Lowering his head, he observed his surroundings and confirmed that this place was filled with holes created by rabbits.
The rabbit in his hand was restless, struggling to escape.
Mo Jun stuffed it into the rabbit cage he brought with him, locked the cage door, and hung it on a long branch that protruded from a bush. The rabbit in the cage squeaked and bit at the cage.
Mo Jun was very excited as he saw so many rabbit holes. He was busy catching rabbits. With a slingshot in hand, he found a wooden stick and started pounding the rabbit hole and the tall grass on the ground. At the same time, he let out a threatening cry. Not long after, there was actually a rabbit that was alarmed by his movements and escaped from the cave. He quickly threw the stick and raised his slingshot to hit the rabbit.
However, the rabbits that ran out were all nimble and nimble, and they were all hiding in caves everywhere. He had been sweating all over for the past few days, but he was still unable to catch a single rabbit.
On the other hand, the rabbit hanging on the bush struggled, causing the cage to jump down from the branch and land on the ground.
Mo Jun immediately turned back when he heard the commotion. This was Mo Yin's precious rabbit. He had actually lost this one, not only did he not catch the rabbit, he had also gotten rid of it. If that was the case, then his precious little sister would cry all over, and his father wouldn't be able to forgive him.
The rabbit really had strong teeth. Even though it didn't bite through the wicker cage, it had already bitten through most of it. Mo Jun used a small stick to poke its body in the cage and cursed, "You should be the mad rabbit. If it wasn't for the fact that my sister likes you. I have kept you here until today? Didn't you say you would help me lure your brothers and sisters out, feed me, and try to escape? Don't even think about it, don't even think about it! "You better behave!"
The rabbit squeaked as if to intimidate him. Mo Jun fought with it for a while before he remembered the important matter. Afraid that the rabbit would run away, he took it out of the cage, pinched some long grass, tied up its four legs, and stuffed it back into the cage.
The rabbit wriggled a few times in the cage, but when it saw that there was no hope of escape, it gave up. Mo Jun looked at it and laughed: "Fight with me? You've gone silly now, haven't you? "
He hung the cage back on the bush and continued to catch the rabbits in the hole.
This time, he learned from his experiences and remembered another idiom, "The Three Hells of the Cunning Bunnies". If he wanted to catch the rabbits, he would have to cut off their retreat. He then moved in some soil and stones to fill up some holes. Leaving some open holes for him to capture, he began to beat around the bush, shouting threats. Some of the rabbits had been scared out of their holes, and two of them were running out of the holes he had imagined. He immediately grabbed the catapult, aimed it at the fleeing rabbit, and shot!
The bullets flew out in an arc and landed on the target, the wild rabbit, with a "pa" sound.
The rabbit fell to the ground and rolled down the hill. Mo Jun quickly chased after him. The rabbit heard his footsteps and struggled to get up and run. Mo Jun acted like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey and pushed the rabbit under him.
