Chapter 688 Inhuman!
Maybe, why not just do nine out and thirteen back?
This will prevent my second brother from saying that he owes me a favor no matter what, sometimes it's a big favor, sometimes it's a big favor.
Is it so easy to owe favors?
This only happens to their own family. If it were someone else, these favors alone would be enough to put his second brother in a dilemma between life and death.
After all, everyone knows that it is easy to pay back a debt, but it is difficult to repay a favor.
"Second brother, tell me something!"
Fubao felt that he still needed to have a good talk with his second brother about this matter. Otherwise, with his second brother's temper, he would only owe more favors.
However, after Fubao expressed his concerns, Xu Laoer chuckled and said, "Little sister, you really underestimate your second brother!"
"Since I was born, I've owed you a favor, your second brother."
"I don't believe it!"
Fubao looked at his second brother carefully and expressed his disbelief.
"real!"
Xu Laoer was getting a little anxious.
Fu Bao thought for a moment and said, "Second brother, regardless of whether it's true or false, you should stop saying you owe someone a favor. Otherwise, you'll be charged interest on the favor you owe me. It's usury, nine out of ten!"
"Don't!"
Xu Lao Er thought about it and quickly expressed his opinion. He himself couldn't even remember how many favors he owed his younger sister. If he added interest, nine out of thirteen would be paid. He was afraid that he would be working like a slave for his younger sister for the rest of his life.
"Then you better watch your mouth!"
"Don't let me hear anything like that again!"
Don't look at Fubao's small size, but if she gets serious, Xu Laoer will have no chance.
In the entire Xu family, only their mother, Old Mrs. Xu, can be more stubborn than Fubao!
After all, Mr. Xu, her biological father, was reluctant to get into an argument with his daughter, so the task of educating Fubao basically fell on Mrs. Xu.
Kind father and strict mother!
This is how the Xu family educates their daughter.
As for educating their sons, they are a kind mother and a strict father, because all three sons are tough.
The troops led by Xu Laoer stayed in the original place for three days, and finally waited for the hunting dogs sent from Xiangyi Prefecture, as well as the owners of the hunting dogs, a group of experienced hunters.
At the same time, Xu Laosan also sent a letter, stating that more hunting dogs, hunters and soldiers would be transferred to Longxi Mansion in the future.
It was not that Xu Lao San was making a fuss, but the savages had already been lurking outside the city gate connecting Longxi Prefecture and Xiangyi Prefecture. If Xu Lao Er had not happened to pass by with a large army, perhaps within two days, these savages would have broken through the city gate and entered the territory of Xiangyi Prefecture.
If the human-eating savages were really allowed to enter the territory of Xiangyi Prefecture, Xu Laosan couldn't imagine what kind of disaster that would be.
Fortunately, the lurking savages were discovered and dealt with.
“What a troubled time!”
Although Xu Laoer is brave, he is a little worried about the future after seeing the fighting ability of the savages.
Of course, what he was worried about was not whether he could win, but how much casualties would be incurred if he won.
Despite having the advantage, whether in terms of manpower or weapons and equipment, the battle with these savages still resulted in a casualty ratio of less than one to three.
"Second brother, don't think too much. I guess this group of savages must be a very powerful group among the savages."
"After all, the savage who can appear here first is definitely not a weakling."
Fubao is not as heavy-hearted as his second brother.
Although savages are comparable to wild beasts, they are still human beings after all.
Fu Bao didn't believe they wouldn't be afraid, and he didn't believe all the savages were so fearless of the cold and snow. If that were true, then how could the savages have been living in such a harsh place?
After all, the living environment of the northern barbarians is better than that of the savages. They are constantly invading and looting to the south to make their lives better.
As for wild animals, if they find a place with abundant food, they will definitely try to make it their sphere of influence.
How could the savages be an exception?
Therefore, the truth of the matter should be that the savages are not as powerful as they appear. They are powerful now only because they have reached a point where they can no longer survive. They must become strong, otherwise what awaits them is extinction.
"I hope so!"
Although Xu Laoer has always admired his younger sister's good fortune, when analyzing this issue, Xu Laoer still feels that Fubao has taken it for granted.
The savages may not be as powerful as they appear, but they are definitely not weak.
The army sets out again!
In front and around the team were hunting dogs.
The hound walked forward in the snow, always alert to any abnormalities around it.
You know what, Xu Laoer's idea really worked.
Along the way, they encountered three lurking groups of wild men. The number of wild men varied, but without exception, they were all extremely brave and no less powerful than the wild men Xu Laoer and his men encountered in their first battle.
“This is unscientific!”
Fubao was in the team and witnessed the brutality and bravery of the savages, and felt that his three views were overturned.
These savages were only wearing animal skins, with bare arms and legs, wearing bare feet, and holding bone spears and wooden clubs in their hands, but the fighting power they displayed was comparable to the most elite warriors under her second brother's command.
"Second brother, tell me, why aren't these people afraid of the cold?"
Fubao really couldn't understand it.
Savages are also human beings, and they are warm-blooded animals. In such cold weather, without enough warm clothes, they can only rely on their own physique to resist the cold.
According to scientific theory, the human body will automatically adjust its body temperature to adapt to the cold, but the body still consumes energy during this adaptation process.
Fubao doesn’t remember the details clearly, but he vaguely remembers that having more fat in the body can help one resist the cold much better.
But these savages, although they are strong, their bodies are full of muscles, not fat.
"Are these people really human?"
If science is correct, then Fubao would have to suspect that these wild men are not actually humans, but some other species that are exactly the same as humans.
But unfortunately, these guys look exactly like humans.
"I also want to know why they are not afraid of the cold!"
Xu Laoer was also troubled.
After several battles, Xu Laoer had actually discovered that these savages were not that powerful. The reason why they could fight his soldiers almost to a draw was that they moved more freely, while his soldiers wore more clothes to keep warm, so their movements inevitably slowed down.
One side is agile and unaffected, while the other side is a little bloated, and the gap naturally becomes apparent.
After several fights, Xu Laoer realized that if he wanted to fight these savages and reduce the casualty ratio, he could not fight them in close combat.
Otherwise, the advantages of the savages would be fully utilized.
