Chapter 918: Provocation
The black masks were taken out by Jiang Xiaoxiao from her own space. Her own space was actually full of white masks. These black masks were from the other world.
There are some plant seeds that were accidentally thrown into the soil and grew, and this kind of black noodles came out.
Although this kind of noodles tastes rough and irritating, it is very filling and has a very high yield. Jiang Xiaoxiao has studied it and found that the calorie content of these black noodles is not inferior to that of white noodles, and they even contain more protein than white noodles.
At that time, I just thought that it would not be a big deal to plant a little and keep it, just in case it might be needed someday.
How could I have imagined that in ancient times, there was no white flour like the one I had in my hand. White flour here is called refined rice and refined flour, which only the rich people in the city could eat.
These ordinary people probably can't even eat black noodles.
It is even more impossible to have sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes and the like as they are close to the border.
The desert is desolate and the land is barren. Most of the crops grown by the local people here are drought-resistant. They harvest crops like beans, grind them into powder, and mix them together to eat.
In fact, black noodles are considered to be top-notch stuff for them.
The broth in the big pot was made by her and Li Tieniu after they went to the surrounding mountains overnight and caught some pheasants and rabbits.
As long as she put on the mask, it would be easy for her to find the nests of pheasants and rabbits.
Often they are all killed at once.
Li Tieniu was so impressed that he almost bowed down to him.
Li Tieniu didn't think that it was just luck. He just felt that the Miss Jiang in front of him was too capable and one could tell at a glance that she was experienced.
Wherever there are pheasants, you can find them right away; wherever there are rabbits, you can find a nest of them.
If they were asked to go up the mountain, they would go hunting before, and it would take them four or five days to catch a pheasant.
The pheasant didn't see the stone in the man's hand fly out, and immediately fell to the ground, unable to move anymore.
Not everyone can master this skill.
He had heard that the monk master in the mountains had said that this skill was called Falling Leaves and Flying Stones.
It is said that only people with top-level internal skills can hurt people with flying flowers.
He admired Miss Jiang in front of him more and more, and he no longer regarded her as a woman, but a master chef.
This is also the reason why he changed his address to Master Jiang. Calling him Miss Jiang would easily lower the master's aura.
A group of young people, about fourteen or fifteen years old, ate to their heart's content and drank their fill.
Sure enough, it didn’t feel that difficult to train again.
No one fainted, but everyone still had doubts about the training methods.
Some people questioned that when Jiang was a child, Li Tieniu beat her severely with a stick.
In the words of Li Tieniu, dare to doubt the master!
Did you know that in ancient times, if someone was willing to take you in as an apprentice, it was a great blessing for your family. Haven't you seen that those apprentices were hungry, cold and still got beaten? But you are so different. You are well fed and well clothed, yet you still dare to doubt the master's methods.
Is there anyone so ungrateful?
What is given to you is the means of survival.
Everyone was unwilling to accept it, but there was nothing they could do because the Tie Niu brother in front of them was much better than them.
But it is true that I am not convinced.
Jiang Xiaoxiao had already seen it.
I have been training them using the methods I use to train special forces, especially practicing assassinations against scarecrows every day.
Obviously, these children were a little confused by this training method.
On this day, Jiang Xiaoxiao held a meeting.
18 people sat in a circle.
Fight two by two.
Each person holds a wooden stick with a round head, which is equivalent to holding a spear in their hands.
Fighting against each other is indeed exciting. Which young person doesn't have a competitive spirit?
The young men holding wooden sticks started fighting, and they suddenly discovered that their own moves actually included those stabbing moves.
Moreover, these actions are quite effective. Every time the stick pokes the opponent, Jiang Xiaoxiao will remind him that this is not the vital point, otherwise it will be a fatal blow if it hits the vital point.
The young people who were laughing and joking just now suddenly became serious, because they found that the vital points that Jiang Xiaoxiao reminded them of could be hit with one strike. Everyone was eager to try and wanted to challenge the opponent with one stick.
As a result, the fight became more and more difficult to determine the winner, but the moves became more and more sophisticated.
When the competition among the 18 people was over, they suddenly felt extremely grateful to Mr. Jiang in front of them.
In the past, they thought this kind of training was useless. What’s the point of running and jumping all day?
If they go into the mountains to collect firewood or do farm work every day, walking back and forth on the mountain roads is much more troublesome than running and jumping.
But now they find that walking on those mountain roads seems as if they are walking on flat ground.
Jiang Xiaoxiao asked the 18 of them to form a formation and start fighting.
Scattered individual combat is different from collective combat, which requires someone to command and enforce orders.
In Jiang Xiaoxiao's words, the 18 people were divided into two teams, each with nine people.
Two people stood back to back forming a circle.
Under the unified command, everyone attacked at the same time. Because of the previous training, everyone seemed to be sensitive to the 123 command and was very disciplined.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Li Tieniu decided to let everyone have a deeper understanding of their current situation.
Li Tieniu went to the neighboring village.
There are salt smugglers in all the nearby villages, but in terms of strength, their Lijia Village is the weakest now, because many men have been killed or injured, especially in the last casualties, the Lijia Village had the most deaths.
Seeing Li Tieniu, Lin Dawang, the village chief of Linjia Village, felt secretly proud.
He naturally knew that the people of Lijia Village had suffered heavy losses last time. Now that taxes were coming, if they didn't make some money as soon as possible, Lijia Village would probably be destroyed. Of course, they had also thought about annexing Lijia Village directly into their Linjia Village.
With this opportunity, the size of Linjia Village can be expanded. After the population expands, at least there will be more strong laborers. The more population a village has, the greater its ability to resist disasters.
I haven’t seen that the bandits have a more moderate attitude towards those large villages. When they rob, they will also choose the weaker ones.
Bandits rarely go to villages with smaller populations, especially large villages, because if the able-bodied men in these villages really organize themselves to fight back.
It will also cause them a lot of headaches and heavy losses.
Even a wolf will choose the weakest one to bite.
"Tie Niu, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Dawang's attitude was somewhat condescending.
Li Tieniu smiled and said, "Brother Lin, I know you are going to take the salt road again recently. The brothers in my village have also practiced a few tricks. We thought that if we all go together, we can take care of each other."
Lin Dawang glared. Is this care?
This is shameless to seek their protection.
"Tie Niu, how many people are left in your village now? Don't talk big, just be straightforward and merge with our Linjia Village. You can also get the protection of Linjia Village. Isn't that great?"
Straight to the point.
Li Tieniu's face changed. Ancestors are their roots.
Lin Dawang wants to swallow them up.
"Brother Lin, the people in our village have made great progress recently under the training of Master Jiang... In fact, it is not a bad idea for us to go by ourselves, but I just thought that we can take care of each other if we go together."
"Haha, Young Master Jiang? What Young Master Jiang? What progress can a young man from a city make? You really believe what such a young master says. Well, since you are not convinced and think you can do it, let's have a competition.
If you defeat Linjia Village, we will set out together, and we will definitely protect you this time. If you cannot defeat Linjia Village, then that's fine. Otherwise, you can merge into Linjia Village, and we will naturally protect you.
Otherwise you can figure it out on your own.”
This was exactly what Li Tieniu wanted.
Before he came, he talked to Jiang Xiaoxiao. Jiang Xiaoxiao asked him to say this, and Li Tieniu felt it was offensive.
Unexpectedly, Village Chief Lin agreed so readily, which was exactly what Mr. Jiang had expected.
