Chapter 5 Disaster

From a distance, I saw a bunch of people surrounded by Wu Qiang’s thatched hut, including old and young. They were all from Wujiazhuang, with sadness and anger on their faces, and they couldn’t help but wipe their tears.

Wu Ji was a big shot in Wujiazhuang. As soon as he arrived, these people gave way to him. Wu Ji entered the innermost without any obstacles. After a glance, his stomach and intestines rolled and almost vomited.

It turned out to be a stretcher made of several old mountain vines and branches, with a man on it, a bloody man. The two arms were almost separated from their arms, and there was only a little more flesh and blood. The right leg was missing at all, and I don't know where it was.

This is simply a cruel dismemberment, disgusting.

"Hurry, take the boy away and don't let them see." Wu Ji suddenly remembered something and shouted.

"Oh! Ji'er is right! Take the little guys away!" Wu Qing couldn't help but wipe his tears and suddenly woke up, which was a big recognition of Wu Ji's statement.

The adults hurriedly held the boy and left with their arms around them, and some even covered the boy's eyes. However, the boys were very curious and couldn't help but struggle, and could not fight the adults, so they could only leave unwillingly.

Wu Ji resisted the urge to vomit and took a closer look. There were claw marks on the shoulders of the corpse and tooth marks on the right leg. Could it be that this was bitten to the bear to death?

"Ji'er, you must have seen it. Wu Qiang bit the bear to death. Alas!" Wu Qing sighed, no longer there, and kept wiping his tears.

"Wu Qiang?" Wu Ji was very shocked. If it weren't for Wu Qing's words, he wouldn't have recognized it. It's not that Wu Ji had a bad vision, but because the corpse was ruined and his face was sparse, so how could he recognize it?

The young man who carried him home yesterday was a bit unrestrained and joking, and he was very fond of Wu Ji's temper. Wu Ji had a very good impression of Wu Qiang. No one wanted to do that, today, he bit Xiong Huo to death.

Wu Ji opened his mouth for a long time, but he didn't make any sound. He was extremely reluctant to believe it, but he had to believe it.

"Uncle San, what happened?" Wu Ji asked.

"Hey!" Wu Qing sighed before he could speak and briefly talked about the process.

It turned out that they set out to hunt bears early in the morning. The group was very happy and thought they could hunt a bear. The bear was full of treasures and could eat bear meat, which was a great supplement. They had studied footprints in advance and knew that this was a giant bear, bear skin and bear gall, and that would definitely be sold for a good price. In that case, it would be equivalent to planting for several years.

Although they made complete preparations, they still did not expect that the bear was too big, bigger than they thought, and was not much worse than the big bull, and it was at least four or five hundred kilograms.

The bear is not only very big, but also very cunning. He actually circled with them. At the beginning, Wu Qing and the others gathered together and took care of each other. After several circles, the people were dispersed. Wu Qiang was alone, and the bear suddenly pounced on him and bit him to death.

When Wu Qing and the others heard the shouts, they rushed over. It was too late. When things came to this point, they had no intention of hunting bears anymore, so they could only pull some vines, cut some branches, make a simple stretcher, and carry Wu Qiang's body back.

"Woooooo!"

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl pounced on Wu Qiang's body and cried very sadly. She was Wu Qiang's sister, Wu Xiaozi, with fair skin and quite beautiful appearance. She was a rare beauty in Wujiazhuang.

Wu Qiang's father died early, and his mother remarried, so the remaining two brothers and sisters depended on each other for their own lives. Now that Wu Qiang is dead, Wu Xiaozi lost his support and cried almost fainted.

"Ji'er, what do you think should be done? Uncle San was confused and had no idea." Wu Qing was at a loss and had to ask Wu Ji for advice.

"Uncle San, where is this bear's nest?" Wu Ji did not answer immediately, but asked.

"Bear's nest? Not far from here. If the bear is not removed, it will definitely harm the village. The bear is too big and too cunning. How can it be removed?" Wu Qing looked worried.

This is what Wu Ji was worried about. If the bear nest is too close to the village, it will sooner or later harm people and animals. Wu Ji asked about some things about bears, but it was basically clear, but he had no way to hunt bears.

"If there are guns, no, I just need a lathe to make a gun, and I can build a gun and remove the bear. But where do I get the tools now? I only have gunpowder." Wu Ji felt very sorry. If there were lathes, with the weapons knowledge that Wu Ji mastered, he could make a rifle. If there were rifles, no matter how big the bear was, it would be just a dish. The problem is that it is hard to cook without rice. Wu Ji had mastered so much weapon knowledge.

"Uncle San, we have to do two things at the moment." Wu Ji began to come up with an idea: "One is to handle the funeral for Wu Qiang."

"Well! This matter is to be done. What's the second thing?" Wu Qing asked.

"The second thing is to report to Guixin County and ask the magistrate to send someone to hunt bears." Wu Ji then made an idea.

At that time, there were many wild animals, including tigers, leopards, and bears. From time to time, they would enter the village and bite people and animals. If the hunter could not cope, they could report to the government and ask for help. Generally speaking, if this situation occurs, the government would send people to hunt bears. If this matter is reported to Guixin County, the magistrate would definitely send troops to come.

"Yes, yes, it's time to do this!" Wu Qing agreed with this idea: "Magistrate Zheng is a good official. If we report to the people, he will definitely send troops to come. Ji'er, here you advocate that I will bring a few people and then come to the city and come back later."

Wu Qiang's funeral needs to be handled, and the safety of people and animals in Wujiazhuang is also important, so it is best to act separately. Wu Qing is the patriarch of Wujiazhuang. He speaks very well, so he immediately calls up three young people and rushes to Guixin County.

"Actually, if you want to hunt bears, you don't have to use firearms, you can use bombs. However, this detonation method is the most troublesome." Wu Ji sent Wu Qing and the others away, and couldn't help but turn his mind back on the bear hunting matter.

It is not difficult to make a bomb. With gunpowder, it is no problem to make a earth bomb. The difficulty lies in how to blow up the bear. The bear is alive and can run. Even with modern grenades, it cannot kill the bear, unless it finds a clever detonation method. Modern remote control detonation technology is good, the problem is that this is simply unsatisfactory, and there is not even a lathe, let alone remote control detonation technology.

Wu Ji was a big shot, and no one dared to disobey his words, so he could only do so. Under Wu Ji's command, Wu Qiang's funeral proceeded in an orderly manner.

After this happened, Yang Xiuxiu did not go to work anymore, but came back to help with the arrangement.

When it was almost dark, Wu Qing and the others came back. Twenty Song troops were also with them, leading a ten general named Luo Yuansheng.

Ten generals are equivalent to the current squad leader, and they manage ten people, so they are called ten generals.

"This Zheng County Magistrate is quite efficient. I will report today and send someone to this day." Wu Ji had to praise the Zheng County Magistrate's efficiency.

Bows and arrows, knives, spears, armor, and helmets with hat brim are the equipment of the Song army. When Wu Ji looked at these equipment, he was a little surprised. The quality was not good, and the size was even more inconsistent.

The military equipment should be standard equipment, which is standardized, and the size difference is not much. However, the Song army's guns are both long and short, and the gap is very obvious.

What surprised Wu Ji even more was that there were twenty people, five archers, five gunmen, and ten swordsmen. Their equipment was very single. Archers had no other equipment except bows and arrows. The gunmen only had guns, and the swordsmen only had Mazada swords.

On the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly. If the enemy rushed to the front, if there was a knife, he could still fight when the bow and arrow could not be used. The archers have no equipment except bow and arrow, wouldn't that be a gambler seeking death?

If the gunman and knife hands have bows and arrows, they can fire a few arrows before the enemy is approaching, so as to have more chances to kill the enemy. Apart from swords and guns, they have no bows and arrows, and they waste opportunities in vain.

"You are Miss Wu? Your brother has killed the bear. Don't be sad, I will avenge you." Luo Yuansheng's eyes were filled with evil light, and he kept looking at Miss Wu and was about to come up and approaching Miss Wu.

"Do you have chickens and wine? Take them out and give us food and drink. Only when we are full and drink enough can we have the strength to hunt bears." A soldier began to blackmail, looking stubborn.

"Is there any beautiful lady? We pay for it and we want to have fun!" Another soldier's mouth was stagnant, and his eyes were not floating around the woman in Wujiazhuang.

The young lady of the Song Dynasty was a prostitute. He was asking if he had any business in flesh and blood.

This is an insult! A huge insult!
