When it comes to quarreling, Chu Yao is ultimately more skilled.
The final result was that no one cared about Shen Tang riding the pig anymore.
Shen Tang: “…???”
The real reason was that Qi Shan wanted to manage but couldn't spare the energy to teach Shen Tang anything, as the tax silver issue was imminent. Although it didn't matter whether the tax silver was taken or not, who would go against money
It would be great if we could get it.
If you don't take what heaven gives you, you will suffer the consequences.
If you don't welcome the opportunity when it comes, you will suffer the consequences.
Since the heavens were willing to help them, and arranged this batch of tax silver at this time, how could they not take it? Qi Shan had already regarded that batch of tax silver as one of Shen Tang's capitals.
It will be faster to recruit soldiers and horses in the future.
Shen Tang was forced to sit idle and do nothing for two days.
Why only two days
Because on the third day of riding pigs and herding pigs, she had a playmate.
"Stop, don't go any further!"
Although this bandit den has had its "illegal business license" revoked, the outside world still doesn't know about it. In order to prevent potential dangers, six people are sent to patrol and stand guard on the mountain roads every day.
Just happened to intercept Zhai Le who was trying to go up the mountain.
They recognized Zhai Le's face and knew that this young man in black was a ruthless killer who would kill without blinking an eye. Naturally, they did not dare to step forward and attack him. They could only hide in the bushes in the distance and shout warnings.
Zhai Le noticed the two men early in the morning, clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "I am Zhai Le, I am here to look for my friends."
The two patrolmen talked in low voices: "Then you wait first."
Because Shen Tang was herding pigs by the stream not far away, Zhai Le didn't have to wait long before Brother Shen, who was riding a pig with a smile on his face, arrived.
Riding a pig... Brother Shen
When Zhai Le saw this scene, he was so frightened that his thin lips slightly opened, and even his amorous peach blossom eyes were filled with helplessness. After a long while, he confirmed that what he saw and heard was not an illusion, and pointed at the black pig under Shen Tang's crotch with trembling fingers: "Brother Shen, what is this?"
Shen Tang said as a matter of course: "Wild boar."
A cleanly washed wild boar, with a leather-wrapped seat on its back, a white saddlebag hanging from its waist and hips, and a bridle around its neck. Zhai Le blinked hard and quickly to confirm that this was a black pig and not a black horse.
Zhai Le was speechless when he saw Shen Tang admit it so straightforwardly.
"Then why did you put a saddle on the boar?"
Shen Tang said: "I don't know either. I just woke up like this."
When she went to the pigpen to lead the pig the next day, the black pig already had a saddle on its back, and it came with reins, a saddle bag, and everything else.
The person who could do this is either Chu Yao or Qi Shan.
Shen Tang waved to the two patrolmen, signaling them to continue with their own business, and she would be responsible for entertaining Zhai Le.
"But I heard that wild boars have bad tempers and are very difficult to tame. How did you catch it? And you can even ride it?" Looking at this sturdy, strong and majestic wild boar, Zhai Le was inexplicably envious.
Shen Tang said: "He will be tamed after a beating."
Zhai Le raised his hand and touched the pig's head, saying, "I want to, too."
Shen Tang said, "You want me to take you to catch them. When I was releasing the pigs yesterday, I saw some places where there were traces of animals trampling on them."
Zhai Le didn't know what "releasing the pigs" meant, and thought that Brother Shen was riding a wild boar and strolling around, and most of his attention was on catching the boar. When he heard that there were still wild boars, he hurriedly urged Shen Tang to take him to catch one. He also wanted to try the feeling of riding a pig.
Shen Tang naturally would not refuse.
However, she was more curious about why Zhai Le came all the way to see her.
Just to ride a pig
still-
"You're out of wine again?"
"Do I look like someone who would go to the mountains just for the sake of wine?"
Shen Tang carefully looked at this handsome face and nodded: "Very similar!"
Zhai Le: “…”
He was like a punctured balloon, his momentum completely deflated, his shoulders drooped listlessly: "Okay, Brother Shen guessed part of it right. But having no wine to drink is only one of the reasons. The biggest reason is that I miss Brother Shen. It's so boring to stay in the inn during the day..."
Shen Tang asked: "Where is your cousin?"
"Brother has something to do."
Shen Tang stopped there and did not continue to ask what Zhai Huan was busy with that she could not even take care of her cousin. Weren't Qi Shan and Chu Yao too busy to take care of her? In a sense, she and Zhai Le were both "left-behind teenagers", and they were the kind who were bored.
I was so bored that I could only catch pigs for fun.
God helps those who work hard. They squatted in the place where the wild boars had been for more than half an hour and finally caught the second wild boar.
It was another intense battle, and the two won a great victory. Zhai Le also got to experience the feeling of riding a pig as he wished.
In the end, I reluctantly gave it a five-star rating.
"Except that the sightline is too low, it's a bit like riding a horse." Zhai Le rode the pig and trotted around Shen Tang twice, then suddenly said, "Last time I invited Brother Shen to race horses, but he didn't agree. This time we're both riding pigs, so why don't we have a race? The loser should treat us to a drink?"
Shen Tang glanced at the sun and curled his lips.
"What's the point of this? No matter how you look at it, I'm the one at a disadvantage. Even if I win, I won't dare drink..." The two drunken incidents almost made the guiding NPC Qishan's blood pressure explode.
Zhai Le took out a small and exquisite golden bean from his money bag and shook it in front of her eyes: "Brother Shen, you can watch me drink."
Shen Tang looked at Xiao Jindou in silence for a while.
She was shamefully moved.
Suddenly, he raised his finger to the sky and shouted in surprise at Zhai Le.
"Xiaofang, Xiaofang, look, there are pigs flying in the sky!"
“Where are the pigs???”
Zhai Le had no idea of this trick, so he subconsciously looked up at the sky. He looked left and right but didn't see the so-called flying pig. However, Brother Shen beside him succeeded in his plot and whipped the wild boar's butt. The wild boar screamed in pain and ran away.
Zhai Le realized that he was tricked: "..."
He shouted in embarrassment: "Brother Shen, you are cheating!"
"Sun Tzu said that all is fair in war!"
Zhai Le was startled again, and then he clapped his horse... no, clapped his pig to catch up, and shouted: "Grandson? 'In the battle, deception is not a problem', didn't the fox say it? Brother Shen, wait for me!"
This wild boar was extremely violent and ferocious. Its short limbs and hooves were darting rapidly, and it was closing the distance between itself and Shen Tang. Shen Tang casually bent down and picked up a branch while running wildly. With a sudden counterattack, the branch was swung at Zhai Le's face.
Zhai Le is not a vegetarian either.
After all, he was an orthodox warrior who had tempered his body with martial arts since childhood and practiced martial arts to keep fit. He reacted very quickly. He did not retreat but advanced, his move was as swift as lightning, as if he was ready to grab the branch in Shen Tang's hand. Shen Tang changed his move halfway and said, "Take my shot!"
Seeing that he couldn't snatch it away, Zhai Le also picked up a branch.
He also imitated Shen Tang and shouted: "Take my spear!"
Shen Tang raised his foot and kicked Zhai Le's wild boar in the face.
Zhai Le was shocked. He steadied the wild boar that was grunting and retreating, clamped the pig's belly, and pulled the hemp rope: "... How can you be like this?"
Shen Tang said with a smile: "If you don't agree, come and hit me?"
Zhai Le gritted his teeth and took advantage of the situation to pursue.
Looking at the two people who were fighting on pigs, Qi Shan felt his blood pressure rise to the bottom again.
"Shen! You! Li!"
Shen Tang and Zhai Le stopped at the same time. The latter had a stiff and awkward expression. After realizing what he had done, he quickly threw the branch away. Shen Tang was different. She even waved at Qi Shan.
"Hey, Yuanliang, I'm here!"
