Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

When martial arts are practiced to a profound level, one refines the root marrow internally, and the root marrow mutates, granting people various abilities.

For example, controlling ice, frost, flames, lightning, and so on.

Tang Wen had also heard Li Daniu mention some of these, but since Li Daniu himself didn't know much, he just listened to them as stories.

He didn't expect Zhou Bing to say something even more outrageous, that her ability was to 'curse her husband to death'?

She looked serious, as if she really believed she had this ability.

Tang Wen had never heard anyone 'self-deprecate' like this before and couldn't help but make a joke.

At this moment, he could only half-jokingly explain, "Captain, when you see an enemy, you don't even need to attack. Just announce that the person is your fiancé, then…"

Zhou Bing coldly interrupted him, "You really are just a child who doesn't understand anything! An engagement is a matter between two people."

Tang Wen touched his nose, "Captain, with your looks and figure, how could those who don't know the truth not agree? If they agree, it's definitely a done deal. Assassinating them would definitely be a sure kill."

Huh?

Zhou Bing was clearly stunned for a moment, then shook her head indifferently, "Don't joke like that, and don't try to comfort me in a roundabout way."

"Yes, yes." After all, it was their first meeting, and Tang Wen realized he was being a bit too forward.

The two changed the subject, and Zhou Bing continued to explain some precautions.

Busy times always pass quickly, and the clock in the room pointed to 6 o'clock.

If you didn't have night duty, you could get off work.

"Our Hunting Team One originally had 7 people, and you are the 8th. The other 6 people form two hunting groups. You can act alone. After they return to the camp in a few days, I'll introduce you."

Zhou Bing said as she walked, and the two quickly arrived at the gate connecting the inner city to the outer city.

Tang Wen was surprised, "Captain, do you also live in the outer city?"

"I live in the city, 3rd Street, House Number 7. Remember it well. Come find me anytime if you need anything. Let's go." After Zhou Bing finished speaking, she led the way towards the outer city.

"Um, Captain Zhou, you don't need to send me back. I'm at 5th Street, Number 6 in the outer city."

She didn't stop walking, "I rarely go to the outer city. I have to familiarize myself with how to get to your house, in case there's an emergency military situation and I need to notify you."

"Am I the only one in the team who lives in the outer city?"

"Yes, once you've established yourself in the hunting team, you can also move in."

Stepping out of the gate, it was already dark.

There were still many people who hadn't dispersed at the gate, excitedly discussing.

Their children and husbands had become guards today and were still lining up in the guard camp to complete the procedures and hadn't come out yet.

Tang Wen and Zhou Bing walked out wearing the leather armor that guards usually wear, receiving many admiring and excited gazes.

"They are also guards!"

"My man is one too!"

"Baby, our family's days are going to get better, they're going to get better," a woman said, holding her child.

For ordinary people in the outer city, if one person in the family becomes a guard, his family of seven or eight people can eat a full meal every day.

But that's all. If they want to eat their fill every meal, the others also have to farm and work.

The familiar wooden door appeared in front of him.

"Captain Zhou, do you cook for yourself?"

"I eat at the guard cafeteria."

Tang Wen secretly guessed: It seems that Captain Zhou may be the only one in her family.

"Oh, my sister should have made dinner. Let's eat together! Sis, we have a guest, make some more food." Without giving Zhou Bing a chance to refuse, Tang Wen quickly pushed open the door and shouted loudly.

Zhou Bing frowned, and heard a young girl's voice coming from inside, "You got selected? That's great! Hehe, Little Wen is awesome!"

"We have a guest. Zhou Bing, the captain of our hunting team."

"Okay! I heard you." Tang Tang rarely didn't even blink, and went back into the house, carrying out a piece of lamb chop.

The lamb chop was already processed, from the best yellow sheep. Stewing it only requires adding salt, and roasting it doesn't require adding spice, and it can make people swallow their tongues.

"Um, Tang Wen, I won't stay. Remember to report to the guard camp early tomorrow morning."

Eh? A woman?

Tang Tang turned her head sharply, and her eyes lit up again.

That figure!

That face!

And she's the captain?

"How can Captain Zhou not eat!"

She greeted while stuffing the lamb chop into the red brick oven.

"The lamb chop will be ready soon. Captain Zhou, please come inside." Saying that, her eyes shining, she went to the door to pull people in.

"This?"

"I am Tang Tang."

"My name is Zhou Bing."

Captain Zhou hesitated, Tang Tang reached out and grabbed her wrist, dragged her into the yard, and then dragged her from the yard into the house.

The yard was neat and orderly, and the house was warm and clean, refreshing Zhou Bing's understanding of the outer city.

The table was full of dishes, millet porridge, lard-fried shredded potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, lamb stewed with radish, and roasted wild pheasant.

Wow! More sumptuous than what I eat.

Zhou Bing sat down without being polite. She and Tang Wen would be comrades in arms in the future. It would be good to get to know each other while eating a meal.

Tang Tang took out half a jar of sweet potato liquor, and without asking Zhou Bing's opinion, she smiled and poured a bowl for each of them.

"Sweet potato liquor, in winter, everyone often drinks it when performing tasks outside."

"Then drink more, there's more at home. Little Wen has become a guard, so we must celebrate properly!"

There's more at home?

When did my sister become so generous?

Sweet potato liquor is more expensive than meat.

Tang Wen calmly glanced at Tang Tang, picked up the bowl, and toasted the captain.

He drank it all.

Zhou Bing was equally forthright.

"You guys drink slowly, I'll go tell Brother Li's family the good news." After filling the two up again, Tang Tang ran out the door in a puff of smoke.

She first ran to the blacksmith Li's house, said a few words, and asked Li Daniu to go out and help her buy wine.

Hearing that Tang Wen had become a hunting guard and the family's captain was coming to eat, Li Daniu didn't dare to neglect it, took the silver Tang Tang stuffed over, and bought three whole jars of sweet potato liquor.

Tang Tang carried the three jars of wine into the house, with a small bag of peanuts given by Sister-in-law Li slung over her shoulder.

Zhou Bing looked at her, a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes, and she reminded Tang Wen, "You can't be greedy for drinks usually, drinking too much can easily lead to mistakes."

Tang Tang quickly spoke up for her brother, "No, Captain Zhou, it's just that Brother Li and the others are too enthusiastic and insisted on giving it to us. Little Wen has only drunk less than half a jar of wine all winter. Today is a happy occasion, so drink as much as you want!"

After saying that, she directly opened the black seal of a jar of wine.

Holding the jar, she poured it for the two of them.

Zhou Bing didn't care, casually chatting with Tang Wen about things in the hunting camp, Tang Tang occasionally toasting, and she didn't refuse anyone.

In a world lacking entertainment, drinking was one of the few pastimes.

She was a martial artist, and usually stayed in the military camp every day, inevitably developing a bit of a drinking habit.

Sweet potato liquor is a local method of brewing wine. The alcohol content is not high, and it is very smooth to drink, but the after-effects are not small.

After drinking half a jar, Zhou Bing herself had drunk almost a jar.

On that pretty face, the ice melted, white and rosy, and her eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of charm.

Tang Tang's heart was full of excitement, and after serving tonight's hard dish, roasted lamb chops.

She opened another jar of wine and frankly said, "Captain Zhou, why don't you just stay tonight and sleep in the same room with me? We sleep on a heated kang, which is very warm."

"A heated kang? There are also some in the inner city."

"Yes, yes." The young lady nodded, filling the wine, "I just found out that it was so difficult to get into the hunting team. Captain Zhou, as a girl, is really amazing. Are you usually very busy? Are you married yet?"

Tang Wen lowered his head to drink, thinking, sister, you've been setting this up all night just to ask this question, right?

Then you're going to lose sleep tonight.
