Chapter 7: Strong! Strength!
"Because of the attack of the monster horde, the hunters in the village happened to go out to fight the monsters, and the instructors of the village all died in this attack. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoI was originally a craftsman in Dongqi Village, because the villagers don't like to be noisy, and my workshop is on the edge of the village, so I was able to escape from this attack. "Men are not ashamed of their cowardice, humans are always so fragile and small in the face of powerful and dangerous monsters, and even the most powerful hunters are nothing more than flesh and blood when they take off their armor.
This was the first time Li Hong knew that a village had been destroyed by monsters, and that village didn't seem that far away from them...... Except for the first day, the homeless people can go farther, and then they can't get up fast because of hunger.
"The newly established village...... the middle-aged man said with some regret, "but now I have no other place to go, so let's stay here for the time being, so as to repay the grace of saving my life." ā
āāāāāāāā
"Tick, host, you've completed the main quest, outcast! Checked that the first outcast's profession is blacksmith, and adjusted the quest reward. A mechanical voice came, but Li Hong ignored it for the time being.
Li Hong arranged for the middle-aged man to live in an empty house, let him rest well today, and arrange work tomorrow.
Li Hong didn't plan to cut down trees today, he was going to hunt a horned deer at the foot of the snowy mountain, venison had some good effect on recovering his body, and the deer skin was warmer than Bobo fur...... It's also more durable, ahem, and has higher defense. Although the fur of a horned deer is certainly not enough for a tailor to make a piece of clothing, it is enough to add it to the original garment to protect important parts.
In addition to the venison hunted to replenish the body of the middle-aged man, Li Hong also wanted to change the taste, even if the bobo meat was delicious, it would be greasy if he ate it for a meal. However, until dark, Li Hong's harvest was only at the beginning of the blind cat encountered the injured horned deer hunted by the dead mouse, and then followed by the horned deer to eat ashes, the size of the horned deer is not smaller than a person, adult horned deer can grow to more than two meters tall, their speed is very fast, and the long-term wild escape also makes them very alert, many times Li Hong is not close to be discovered by them.
"I'm really failing as a hunter who is a halfway monk......" Li Hong sighed, "But the harvest is also there, well, what is this?" ā
Li Hong picked up this leather product and spread it out, Li Hong felt that the terrain drawn on it was a little familiar, there was a mountain, a lake and a river, hey, "Nima, isn't this a map here?" How can there be a map here...... Could it be that I found a treasure chest on the Wasteland map? No, no, no, I'm not a playable character and I'm not an NPC, so how can I have a treasure chest to pick up. ā
"Don't think about things that you can't figure out, maybe this is a hunter who hunted here in the past and accidentally returned to Jiuquan, and this map will stay cheap for me." Not to mention, Li Hong's explanation even believed Li Hong himself.
āāāāāāāā
"Uh, is there anything you can eat? Sorry, I'm hungry again. When it was about to dinner, the middle-aged man walked out of his room and came to Li Hong, Li Hong was chopping the firewood into a little finer, so it was easy to light the fire, seeing the middle-aged man's embarrassed face, Li Hong was not interested in joking, saying that he would start the meal in a while and let him wait first.
"Well, otherwise, let me chop this firewood, I'm a little embarrassed just to eat you and live with you." Seeing Li Hong chop firewood for a while and rest for a while, the middle-aged man couldn't sit down, he himself was a blacksmith, and he also had strength, not to mention physical strength, every time he built an artifact, it was a tug-of-war. Since there is free labor, Li Hong is too lazy to do it, which is also a good thing for a middle-aged man, which can allow him to better integrate into Li Hong and them.
"Young master, it's time to eat." Anna calls you home for dinner.
"Oh, this is the venison that the young master specially got back for you, the young master saw that you have been hungry for a few days and need to replenish your body." Anna handed the middle-aged man's portion, except for a little snowy mountain grass soup, which was full of venison. When the middle-aged man saw this, Rao was used to seeing the hot and cold world, and he was inevitably a little moved.
The middle-aged man didn't say anything, and ate the meat in the bowl. He wanted to help Li Hong, but he also understood that he only had all the strength, and if he didn't eat enough, he wouldn't have the strength, and only when he had a full meal could he have a chance to repay Li Hong.
And watching the middle-aged man eat on the side, he was thoughtful.
"What a rice bucket." Anna thought of it.
"If you can stay, it will be a good thing for the young master, at least it will allow the young master not to do so many chores and concentrate on practicing hunting skills." Old Lady Mia thought of it.
"What a good meal, strength! Let him cut down trees and mine tomorrow. The black-hearted village chief thought of it.
āāāāāāāā
The next day, Li Hong still got up early, but when he went out to water the fertile field, he found that the middle-aged man had already chopped firewood at the material stack, what a diligent and good man. But then again, Li Hong still doesn't know what the middle-aged man's name is, which is embarrassing, how should he greet the middle-aged man.
"Stomach, how are you?" No, no, no, you'll die of laughter like this," forget it, it's the easiest sentence. ā
"Morning." One more simple greeting.
"Morning, village chief. I'll dispose of this pile of firewood and go to the woods to cut it. "It seems that he is a loyal and honest man, well, it can be of great use, but it seems a bit overkill to let him chop wood, and yesterday the task of receiving the homeless people was rewarded with a blacksmith shop and an iron pickaxe, probably to match this honest man.
Before he fell asleep last night, Li Hong clicked on the construction of the blacksmith shop, and placed it next door to the Hunter's Tavern. The blacksmith shop takes 5 hours to build, and should be completed by now. Li Hong asked the man not to rush to cut down the tree after he finished disposing of the firewood, and let him do something else when he came back. The man replied and continued to chop wood.
Li Hong went to the fertile fields to water, and the seeds of medicinal herbs and strange powers were one of his future sources of income, and they were the most important thing here before there was no better way to make money. The seeds of the herbs that were just planted yesterday are starting to sprout again today, and the small fruits hanging on the seeds of strange power seem to have grown a lot, according to the number of small fruits produced by each seed of strange power, planting the seeds of strange power is still quite profitable, except for the one that remains in the seed, you can harvest at least three.
By the time Li Hong finished watering and filled the kettle from the lake and returned to the village, the middle-aged man had already disposed of all the firewood. Well, if you have the strength and physical strength, you just don't want to be cowardly.
Li Hong led the man to the newly built blacksmith shop, and a different expression appeared on the man's face.
