Chapter 409 Taming Geese

Shen Changze took off his coat and sat on the edge of the bed, letting Cheng Jinchu wash him, and dozed off tiredly against the bedpost.

Cheng Jinchu raised his eyes inadvertently, and saw Shen Changze's quiet sleeping face, and a smile appeared unconsciously at the corner of his lips.

This is the day that belongs to them.

After carefully washing Shen Changze, Cheng Jinchu wiped his feet with a towel and reminded him softly.

"Husband, lie down and sleep."

Shen Changze responded vaguely, touching the pillow and lying down in a daze.

Cheng Jinchu pulled the quilt over him, took away the basin, blew out the candles, and took off his shoes lightly and went to bed.

"Jinchu..." Shen Changze murmured in a half-asleep and half-awake state.

Cheng Jinchu's heart shuddered when she heard this. She was surprised but also afraid that she had heard it wrong. She suppressed her excitement and approached Shen Changze and asked, "Husband, what did you say?"

"Jinchu..." Shen Changze called again like a dream, and reached out to hug her into his arms.

This time Cheng Jinchu was closer and confirmed that she had not heard it wrong, and Shen Changze's actions also indirectly confirmed it.

If Shen Changze's whisper made Cheng Jinchu unexpectedly happy, then this hug made her even more ecstatic.

It had been so long that she could not remember the last time Shen Changze hugged her.

"Husband..." Cheng Jinchu burst into tears, hugged Shen Changze tenderly, and snuggled in his arms.

This embrace was warm and strong, making her extremely nostalgic.

Shen Changze did not say anything else, but just hugged Cheng Jinchu's arms tightly and fell asleep with her.

After a day of fierce fighting, both of them were exhausted. Without too many words, this hug explained everything.

From then on, the relationship between the two seemed to have returned to the past, but there seemed to be an inexplicable estrangement between them.

Shen Changze's attitude towards Cheng Jinchu was much better than when he went to Beijing, but it was not as good as when he was at the border.

Although those things that happened can be diluted by time, they can't be completely treated as if they never happened.

Cheng Jinchu also understood this truth, so she was very content. Although they couldn't be close to each other, it was good to respect each other and care for each other.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Yicheng was snowing, which was rare.

Honeysuckle blinked, wondering if she had seen it wrong. She tilted her head back and let the snowflakes fall on her face. The soft and icy touch made her excited.

"It's really snow."

Lian Xuan reached out to catch a piece and replied with a smile: "It's snow, it's snowing in Yicheng."

It's not their fault that they were surprised, but the climate in Yicheng was not cold enough, and it was difficult to snow for several years.

Seeing the two's reaction, Jiang Shu said with a smile: "Haven't you seen snow?"

Ren Dong said: "The last time I saw snow, I was still a child. I almost forgot what snow looked like. But I can see frost and ice every year."

Lian Xuan heard it and said: "Princess, don't listen to her. The last time it snowed in Yicheng, she was already fourteen years old, and she was only a few months away from the marriage."

Ren Dong pouted and retorted: "That's still a few months away."

Lian Xuan was about to retort when Yu Zheng came back.

"Your Majesty." The two hurriedly saluted.

Yu Zheng asked Ren Dong: "How is the geese being tamed?"

After agreeing on it the night before yesterday, Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu asked Ren Dong to bring Da Bai yesterday to see it first.

Da Bai was raised by Ren Dong for more than ten years. He was half a person's height. He held his neck high and was not afraid of people at all. He was very majestic and powerful. When seeing someone holding a weapon and trying to hurt their owner, they would go forward and bite to protect their owner without fear

. Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu had no doubt that such a goose could drive away snakes.

However, most geese are only raised for two or three years, and few are raised for such a long time. There are even fewer that go out to the mountains as often as Dabai.

Yesterday, Yu Zheng ordered a city-wide search, but only found a dozen or so that were five or six years old.

Although these geese are big enough, they are not as brave and majestic as Dabai. They will be frightened when seeing people holding swords, sticks, and clubs, and they are simply unable to go to the battlefield.

Therefore, Yu Zheng handed them over to Rendong and asked her to intensively train them.

But geese are like children. It is easy to teach them when they are young, but it is very difficult to train them suddenly after they grow up.

The first problem was that these geese were not raised by Honeysuckle, and they did not recognize her as their leader, and would not obey her orders. They even attacked Honeysuckle when they saw that she was alone.

Fortunately, Honeysuckle was protected by Dabai, so she was not pecked.

"Dabai was amazing, fighting against 17 geese alone, but he didn't get any food, and he pecked them all away."

Honeysuckle described it vividly, with a beaming face, looking very proud and honored.

Yu Zheng listened for a while, frowned and said, "So what's the situation now?"

Ren Dong estimated, "I think if Da Bai beats them a few more times, they should be able to obey orders."

Geese are very smart birds. Not only are they loyal to their masters, they can also understand simple commands, and they are fierce and aggressive. If they are properly tamed, they are very good guards.

Regardless of the species, there are strong and weak among the same species. It is not easy to tame halfway, but if there is the help of the goose king, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

And Da Bai is the king of this group of geese. Ren Dong believes that it won't take long before Da Bai can beat them into submission.

Animals cannot speak, and humans cannot communicate with them directly, so it takes time to tame them.

Yu Zheng also knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he let Ren Dong do it. After all, this method was just an attempt and could not be relied upon. The

Nanyan beast army was huge. No matter how powerful these geese were, they could not completely eliminate the poisonous snakes, not to mention the threats of tigers and knives and guns. Therefore, they could not pin all their hopes on the geese, and had to think of other ways.

Perhaps it was God's help, Yicheng, which had not snowed for many years, actually snowed. Regardless of whether the snow was big or small, it would keep the temperature cold for a while, making it impossible for the Nanyan poisonous snakes to fight, giving them more breathing space.

Although I understand that Nanyan is delaying time and consuming Dazhao's food and grass. But I haven't found a way to restrain it, and I dare not attack rashly, so I can only waste it for the time being.

Seeing the snow falling heavier, Honeysuckle thought of something and said, "I'll go check on the geese. Don't let them freeze to death."

Although geese have thick feathers to resist the cold, it doesn't mean they are not afraid of the cold. The temperature is extremely low on a snowy night. These geese are all treasures now, so we still have to pay attention to them.

Honeysuckle rushed to the side yard where the geese were kept, and asked someone to bring a few bundles of dry grass to build nests for them to keep warm. She also checked the doors and windows, and was relieved only after confirming that nothing was loose.

It was getting dark, and the temperature was dropping, so the geese stopped moving and lay on the haystack to rest.

Only Dabai was very excited to see Honeysuckle, and followed behind Honeysuckle, staggering around.

Honeysuckle bent slightly, stroked Dabai and said, "Be good, Dabai, keep an eye on them and tell them to be obedient as soon as possible." "

Geese--" Dabai called out, as if in response.

Honeysuckle smiled and patted its head, pointing at the geese and said, "Go and have a rest, I'll come again tomorrow."

"Geese--" Dabai called out again, and watched Honeysuckle leave without following.

After Honeysuckle left and the door was closed, Dabai walked towards the flock of geese. The geese, which were originally quiet and seemed to be asleep, became slightly agitated when Dabai approached.

Dabai called out and found a place to crawl and rest at the edge.
