Traveling through ancient times as a hunter

Chapter 38 What's wrong with you?

After eating and clearing the table, Wei Ling took out a piece of iron pine wood and began to chip it in front of the oil lamp.

Cheng Duo didn't see what he was doing at first, but when Wei Ling put the cut iron pine wood on the fire and slowly baked it into shape the next day, he realized that it was the bow arm of a wooden bow.

With Wei Ling's arm length, it is of course too small to use such a bow.Cheng Duo guessed that he was for Brother Yong. After thinking about it, he quietly went to the blacksmith in the next village to inquire, and finally got a well-tanned beef tendon thread from him, and put it on a pair of sun-dried horns.

"You are..." Seeing what Cheng Duo handed over silently, Wei Ling was a little surprised. He originally planned to dismantle his big iron bow and replace the material with iron pine wood bow arm.

Although the bows and arrows made in such a hurry are too crude and not very accurate, they are enough for a novice like Brother Yong.And in another month or two, he will be able to bring the bow and arrow carefully made by Tuomu. With Brother Yong's seriousness and hard work, he should have practiced a little bit of archery by then, and it's just right to replace it with a new bow. .

"Take it, don't tell Brother Yong that I gave it to you." Cheng Duo said.

Wei Ling pondered for a while, but did not refuse.He had a fight with Cheng Duo, and lived under the same roof for another three days. While coveting Cheng Duo's tremendous strength, he felt a little sympathy for each other.

As a man, of course he could feel Cheng Duo's subtle struggles, but he still chose his own responsibility.If he stood in Cheng Duo's position, he might not have done better than him, and Wei Ling felt relieved after thinking about it.

Besides, this is what Cheng Duo owes to Brother Yong, why doesn't he want it?

Wei Ling knew that he wouldn't be able to stay in Yang'er Village for long, so when he was teaching Yongge'er, he was meticulous about everything, and he shared all his experience and know-how.

The day before his departure, he presented the iron pine wooden bow that he had rushed to make, and was worried that Brother Yong would refuse, so he made an excuse in advance: "I made this myself, it's worthless, so let's treat it as a parting gift. "

Brother Yong was very surprised: "Young Master Wei, why are you being so nice to me?"

He gently stroked the polished and smooth body of the bow with his fingers, and it was obvious that the people who made the bow and arrow put their heart into it.

If Mr. Wei was greedy for his tiger bone whistle, he would have returned it to him the next day; if Mr. Wei had any thoughts about him, that's impossible. He gave him the same feeling from the beginning to the end. Dad almost...

"Because when I look at you, it's like seeing my own brother, and I can't help but want to treat you well." Wei Ling said with a smile, he wasn't sure yet.But it doesn't matter if you admit it wrong, Brother Yong is so simple and kind, even if it is not him, he is willing to treat him well.

Brother Yong also felt that Wei Ling was very kind, but the identity of the other party was a little general. After thinking about it, he still didn't dare to say anything brazenly...

As for bows and arrows, they are also very precious to him, Brother Yong doesn't know whether he should accept it or not.

Wei Ling saw his hesitation, and said again: "If you feel that you deserve it, next time I come again, how about you treat me with something you hunted yourself? Let me test the results of being a master for the first time? "

Brother Yong was secretly relieved when he heard that he would come again. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then nodded and agreed, "Okay, I won't let Master down."

Wei Ling hurriedly said: "It's just a saying, you must never call me Master... I don't want to be called old by you."

If Brother Yong is really from their Wei family, then his seniority will be messed up, and my uncle will beat him to death.

"Oh..." Brother Yong was a little disappointed, but figured it out quickly.Mr. Wei is indeed too young, they are equal as master and apprentice, so it is easy to be misunderstood?

***

Brother Yong was right, Li Wang really wanted to follow Wei Ling to find someone.For this reason, he also prepared a lot of dry food and water, and even divided the family's money into two parts, one for Brother Yong, and one for him to take away.

"I don't know how long it will take for Dad to go. Stay at home and don't run around. Dad asked Mr. Li to take care of him in private. If you have anything to do, go to him."

"Father, I can go with you..."

Li Wang interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "What do you think the city wall is? It's not convenient to eat, drink, and scatter there, and the workers are all prisoners...Father can just go by himself."

Li Wang could imagine that staying at the border for a long time and being isolated from the world, not to mention the prisoners, even the soldiers guarding them would turn their eyes green when they saw girls and buddies.In such a situation, would he dare to bring Brother Yong with him?

Brother Yong thought it was a bit unrealistic, so he could only give up: "Father, take care of your health and find the eldest and second brothers and come back as soon as possible."

Brother Yong was a little flustered, he has grown up so big, he has never been separated from his father.What's more, his father's legs and feet are inconvenient. It would be great if he didn't fall out with his uncle's family... Well, even if there was no fallout, his uncle and uncle's mother would not agree to help.

As for hiring people, they can't afford that much money.His father was looking for someone. It was hard to say how long it took to find someone. It was okay to ask the villagers to help for a day or two. It was impossible for them to ask people to put down their homework and help them regardless of pay.

So apart from his father, there was really no one else in their family.

Li Wang left quietly without letting Brother Yong see him off.Before leaving, he also told him that if anyone came to him, he would say that he had gone out to work, and it would be a day if he could hide it.

In fact, Li Wang is also in a dilemma, the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, Brother Yong is at least in the village with Li Sanye and others taking care of him.If Ah Da Ah Er was really arrested to repair the city wall, he would be fighting for his life every day. Could he not be in a hurry to find it?

For Brother Yong's sake, Wei Ling originally planned to personally send Li Wang to the Yufang Mountain area to find someone, but when he returned to the barracks to report on his duties, he learned from his personal guards that the soldiers from the Hun tribe had gone south and that the Wei family army had already set off. Go to Hangu Pass.

"Little general, you are finally back! The general ordered me to wait here. I have already packed my bags. Let's go on the road now?"

The guards couldn't wait to pull out their horses, and Wei Ling's weapons and luggage were still hanging on them.

"This..." Wei Ling looked at Li Wang helplessly: "With the military order in hand, I can only say sorry to Uncle Li."

Wei Ling thought about asking Li Wang to wait for him to come back, but since his return date is uncertain, Li Wang may not be willing to wait.

Because of Cheng Duo and the village's word of mouth, Wei Ling actually didn't like Li Da and Li Er very much, but he had no ill feeling towards Li Wang.Before, he even thought about finding someone to see if they had repented.If it is still the same, he will hide it from Li Wang and make those two rascals suffer more.

Of course, he would not kill those two.For Li Wang's two sons, it is a bit too much to ask someone to lose their son in their middle age.

Wei Ling thought for a while and wrote a letter to Li Wang, and told him to find someone to reveal his identity. If Li Da and Li Er were really arrested by mistake, the guards would release him naturally.

Li Wang was naturally grateful, and after sending Wei Ling away, he embarked on the road to Yufang Mountain alone to find someone.

However, it is said that Wei Ling rode a horse for a day and a night to arrive at Hangu Pass, and saw that the whole army, from generals to soldiers, was in full swing preparing to meet the enemy.

As soon as the general Wei Zhenyuan saw him, he took him to the tent: "Wei Ling, you came back at just the right time. Several generals and I are discussing the deployment of defenses. Come and listen."

Wei Ling hesitated for a moment, but he didn't take out the picture with the tiger bone whistle.Forget it, let's concentrate on meeting the enemy, he can't let my uncle be distracted at this time.

After Wei Ling left, Cheng Duo felt that his physical condition was getting worse and worse. At first, he vomited blood once every two days, and then it became once a day, or even twice a day... Every time he had an attack, he was in pain. It's like people are fished out of the water.

At the same time, his appetite became extremely strong, and he ate up the seventy to eighty catties of wild pork in less than three days.

Cheng Duo had no choice but to go hunting, so he could only buy as much grain as possible in the village.

Brother Yong heard some news and was really worried, so he still came after wandering around for a long time.

Forget it, he just took a look, and he went back if Cheng Duo was okay.

The courtyard door of Cheng Duo's house was tightly closed, Brother Yong knocked for a long time before someone came to open the door.It was Cheng Duo, but he didn't let Brother Yong in, he just opened the courtyard door: "Why are you here, what's the matter?"

Knowing that Li Wang was not there, he hesitated for a long time, but he still couldn't let Brother Yong alone.

"I'll come and see you." Brother Yong was a little uncomfortable, but soon he became strange again. Cheng Duo was generous in everything he did. Even if he didn't want to see him, wouldn't he not even open the door?

Seeing Brother Yong looking up, Cheng Duo unconsciously took half a step back.

Although he tried his best to hide it, Brother Yong still saw his current appearance.

This man had sunken cheeks, prominent veins on his forehead and neck, and was so thin that he was so thin.Brother Yong couldn't believe it, it was only ten days since the last time I saw him!

"Why are you so thin?" Brother Yong had a bad premonition in his heart, and when he realized that Cheng Duo was about to close the door, he quickly put his hand on it.

"Let go." Cheng Duo said.

Brother Yong ignored him: "You said you're fine, and that's why you're fine? It's so serious, why don't you ask for a doctor?"

Cheng Duo lowered his eyes and said coldly: "This is my business, don't worry about it."

"I'm going to collect your body if I don't care about it anymore!" Brother Yong roared angrily, and immediately regretted it after the roar, he eased his tone, and said again: "You open the door, let me go in and talk."

Cheng Duo was as immobile as a mountain: "Aren't you afraid that I will infect you?"

"Contagion is contagion!" Brother Yong didn't know where his courage came from. He looked at Cheng Duo's inhuman appearance, and was really afraid that if he left today, he would be gone tomorrow!

Cheng Duo was silent for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand to snap Yongge'er's fingers: "My business has nothing to do with you, let go! If you don't let go, don't blame me if it hurts!"

Brother Yong became angry: "You press! My hand is here today, you press here! What are you doing with my fingers, those who dare not press are cowards!"

Brother Yong not only clawed at the door panel with his fingers, but also put one foot in, as if he was stuck at Cheng Duo's house and refused to leave.

What can Cheng Duo do, he can't really break and crush Yongge'er's fingers, can he?

He was silent for a longer time this time, but in the end he couldn't hold back Brother Yong, and slowly opened the door.

Brother Yong's eyes turned red when he saw Cheng Duo's appearance clearly. This man was originally as strong as a cow, but now he is so skinny that he is almost left with a skeleton... Brother Yong's tears fell unconsciously: "What's the matter with you?"

When Brother Yong asked the back, he had already begun to cry, and he threw himself into Cheng Duo's arms, tears streaming down his face quickly.

Cheng Duo was at a loss. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid of death, but Brother Yong hugged him and cried like this, and he seemed to feel that death was not so scary again.

He reached out his hand hesitantly, and patted Brother Yong's back: "I'm fine, don't cry."

"You still said it's okay!" Brother Yong choked up and said, "Cheng Duo, don't be stubborn, I'll call a doctor for you, okay? You were so badly injured last time, you'll be fine even if you drink the medicine this time." , don’t be afraid, I’ll get you a doctor.”

Brother Yong was terribly flustered, he remembered seeing Cheng Duo sick twice before, and now he is so thin again...

Even if he didn't know it again, he knew it was a bad sign.

Brother Yong couldn't care about anything now, let go of Cheng Duo, wiped his face casually, and was about to go out.

This time Cheng Duo stopped him: "Don't go."
