Chapter 49 Daughter of a Border General
“Sister, if you keep screaming, Dad will bring someone over later.”
Even if the house was very big, with such a high volume, it’s hard for others not to hear you!
Liu Zhi quickly covered her mouth, and glanced at Liu Fang viciously, “Hmph!”
Liu Fang shrugged, found the flame stick, lit the candle, sat down, and secretly put away the dagger, without Liu Zhi noticing. She slowly rubbed her hair and asked: “Sister, it was so late, why don’t you stay in the ancestral hall, what are you doing here?”
[火折子 (huo zhe zi) It’s the olden days equivalent of the cigarette lighter or flashlight, a convenient, portable, easy-to-use source of quick light and a means to start other fires (such as lighting a lamp)]
Liu Zhi calmed down, put her hand down, sat down too, and said: ” I’m hungry and looking for something to eat, but I didn’t expect to go to the wrong place.”
Liu Fang looked at her speechlessly.
This was also a talent!
How could you still get lost in the place where you have lived for fifteen years? You’re awesome!
“From my room, turn left and you will find the kitchen. You have to pass a courtyard.”
“Oh.” Liu Zhi nodded, “By the way, do you know? I know martial arts! The one that is very powerful!”
Liu Fang: Hehe. →_→
“Un, I saw it. However, sister, you have never been willing to practice martial arts because it was hard. How come you suddenly know martial arts? And it’s really powerful?”
“Eh…”
Liu Zhi choked. Could she say it was a skill that can only be obtained after recognizing the master? No one would believe her!
She could only smile awkwardly, “That, that, I’ll go find something to eat first, see you later.”
After finishing speaking, she hurriedly slipped through the window.
Liu Fang watched her climb out in a panic and then fell down with a plop…
Tsk tsk, what kind of broken martial arts is this?
It’s better not to have it, making people can’t even walk.
Liu Fang shook her head, dried her hair, hung up the cotton towel, put away the dagger, blew out the candle, and then lay down to rest.
For this mission, because she was on the frontier, Liu Fang had consciously exercised her vigilance since she was a child.
While ensuring that she has enough sleep, she must also be vigilant enough to be ready to escape at all times, even in emergencies.
After all, her current status was really scary.
She still remember that when she was six years old, the family member of a general failed to escape and was captured by barbarians. The whole family died, and the death was tragic. Since then, Liu Fang never dared to slack off in the slightest.
She discovered that not all the tasks of the concubine’s division were easy and simple.
She even had a suspicion. When she was at the Quick Transmigration Department, the test task chosen by the minister must be a trick⎯⎯Throw a bait first, let you taste the sweetness: Oh, this is very simple! I can do it.
——Then, you can personally experience what a real fragrance is in the real mission!
[真香 (zhen xiang) This is mainly because a certain person showed an arrogant rejection attitude at the beginning, but in the next second he would honestly compromise with the former. Therefore, the current Zhenxiang actually represents the meaning of “face-slapping”]
Look at how naive she was back then!
This was Liu Fang’s secret guess. it was very similar to modern gambling games, scams, and the like.
It’s just that the mission of the concubine division really didn’t have a particularly big goal, just to live in peace and health, and die a natural death.
Is this too much? Not too much.
Is it easy? Simple.
So, this was a big radish hanging in front of the donkey, tempting the donkey to pull the mill, but it will never be able to eat it?
Liu Fang: … ╮(︶﹏︶)╭ Forget it, it’s useless to think too much. She has already fallen into the pit, and she has no ability to climb out, so let’s do it.
She just hoped that this task could be completed smoothly.
Stop messing around, she’s afraid!
…
What was Liu Zhi’s last thought? Liu Fang didn’t know, nor was she interested in knowing.
Because she just improved a farming tool and it really worked!
She has tried many times in her own yard to make sure that it can be mass-produced and implemented.
She went to Liu Da with this farm tool.
“You made this yourself?”
Liu Da was pleasantly surprised to see Liu Fang demonstrate the function of a farm tool in front of him. The plow went deep.
After the improvement, the weight was lighter, effortless, and easier to hold. At the same time, the plowing was about an inch (2.5 cm) deeper than the original.
Don’t underestimate this small inch. In agricultural cultivation, especially in ancient and backward agricultural cultivation, this was a remarkable breakthrough!
This was not modern days, there were no advanced tools to assist in the manufacture of more powerful appliances. It can only rely on personal skills so they can make a breakthrough little by little.
Therefore, even half an inch of progress would have been remarkable in ancient times, let alone one inch.
Liu Da couldn’t help but be surprised!
Liu Fang nodded and said, “Father knows that I like carpentry, so I thought about this.”
Liu Da looked at the plow on the ground: …
It’s made of iron, don’t bully him for not being educated!
He still knows the difference between carpentry and blacksmithing.
]”It’s made of iron.” Liu Da pointed to the plow on the ground, and looked at Liu Fang incomprehensibly: Are you fooling me?
]Liu Fang spread her hands, “If you want to learn carpentry, you have to learn how to make iron, so let’s learn together along the way.”
Liu Da: …
Very good. This daughter has been quiet and reticent since she was a child. She stays in her yard tinkering all day long. He was so busy, he really didn’t know what exactly she was doing.
Therefore, Liu Da was noncommittal about Liu Fang’s words.
“Okay, put the things down, and I’ll reward you later.”
Does this mean claiming credit from the court for her?
Liu Fang raised her eyebrows. She really didn’t expect that Liu Da could do such a thing.
She accepted his kindness and appreciated his treatment.
“Father. Thank you for your hard work.”
Liu Da smiled, and the depression that had been caused by Liu Zhi’s words for the past few days had completely dissipated. His child was still sensible.
“It doesn’t matter. Anyway, Father is going to promote it in the military field. In this case, it’s better to report it to the court and get a proper reward.”
Liu Fang smiled, bowed, and said: “Father is doing it for the country, daughter is proud and respectful! ”
This was true. She always admires people like Liu Da with integrity, bravery, and willingness to contribute!
Just for the blood in his heart, or faith!
Liu Da looked at the vast blue sky and white clouds and said: “I only wish, the Dayan Kingdom would never have wars, peace forever, the people live in peace, the country would be strong, the monarch is wise, and the officials govern in peace!”
Liu Fang was silent. This is an impossible dream world.
Liu Da seemed to be very clear as well, he quietly said: “However, I can only use my own strength to protect the peace of Liucheng for the rest of my life. As for the others, it is just a wish.”
Liu Fang continued to remain silent. Her father on this mission was a great man! He deserves the admiration of the world!
After handing over the farm tools to Liu Da, Liu Fang went back to her yard, picked up the spear and flipped it over, the leaves fell all over the ground.
Liucheng was desolate, so there were very few flowers here.
The Liu family was the family of generals, and it was impossible to grow any flowers. They will only plant trees that are easy to grow and green all year round.
This type of tree was probably similar to modern cypress trees, with thick and straight branches, like soldiers guarding Liucheng, solemn and firm!
No fear of wind and rain, no fear of scorching heat and frost, and even no fear of being covered in heavy snow and freezing for a whole winter.
When the spring warms come, these trees will still be green and tall, standing upright!
Therefore, these trees were called, pulling trees in Liucheng.
The tall and straight tree was like the defenders of Liucheng, the tall and straight body was like the soldiers and civilians of Liucheng, upright spirit⎯⎯will never be conquered, and it will never be defeated!
They were one, forever and ever, and the people living here have proven with blood from generation to generation that their spirit was immortal and endless!
Even if there was only one person standing in the end. The person is here, the city is here, and the tree is here.
This is, Liucheng. People from Liucheng.
Life is the people here, and death is also the soul here!
They won’t leave and they won’t disappear!
They will always live in the hearts of the people in this city, among the annual rings and emerald green leaves of these years of uprooting trees!
They were the same as the walls of this city, guarding deeply around the city, guarding the city.
Liu Fang could feel it.
That is a spiritual force stronger than the soul!
She was lying on the ground, panting and exhausted, the spear had been thrown aside by her.
In Liucheng, because of the need to be ready to escape and protect oneself at all times, sturdy folk customs were created, and basically all the people were soldiers. Even so, they have limited weapons and force, and sometimes they may not be opponents when they encounter barbarian cavalry.
Even if they could not kill the other party, they would still use their life to pay for it!
These people were not many in number, but they were tall and strong, and they were extraordinarily strong and powerful. In addition, they were extremely good at riding and shooting, they know how to cooperate with each other in combat, and their weapons were also exceptionally sophisticated…
Various factors have created the barbarian cavalry’s mighty reputation!
Most importantly, the barbarians like the women and children of the Dayan Kingdom. Women can be their prizes, and children can be their slaves!
This is barbarian!
This nation seems to have extreme aggressiveness in its nature!
They only worship those who were strong in force and strength and always look down on those who were weak.
So, they are barbaric, they are bloody, they are cruel, they are tyrannical!
However, even if this is the case, even if the people of the Dayan Kingdom hate the barbarians, they can do nothing to them.
The sergeants guarding the frontier struggled hard, and being able to hold on was a victory, and they never dared to hope to defeat the barbarian army.
This borderland was like a grain storage warehouse for the barbarians. When there was no food to eat, they came to fight. They can get money, food, and even women and slaves!
As for those old people, young adults?
They were all dead. They were killed by torture.
Similarly, the recruits of the barbarians needed blood and merit, so they also ran over to fight a battle.
Same result, same powerlessness.
In this way, the national hatred and family hatred accumulated over the years has left the Dayan people and the barbarians in an unforgivable and unreconcilable situation.
The barbarians regard the people of the Dayan Kingdom as pigs and dogs, and the Dayan Kingdom regards the barbarians as mortal enemy.
