It's so tiring to be alive! Fortunately, he learned to hunt, otherwise he would have starved to death.

Sun Erwa sighed while lighting a fire.

He is an ordinary farmer in Jianchangwei.

Originally, when the Ming army controlled the Xingdu Division of Sichuan, although it had to pay a lot of grain every year, it was always able to have some left, and it was barely enough to save some food.

But since the Great Western Army entered Sichuan, there was no grass everywhere it went, let alone planting, and even if the grass seeds were sown, they couldn't grow.

Sun Erwa was afraid of being pulled to be a master, so she hid in the mountains.

Originally, he didn't know how to hunt, but in order to survive, he began to learn to hunt. He made simple traps and hunting bows, and if he was lucky, he could catch some hares, and if he was unlucky, he would go hungry.

Sometimes for two or three days in a row, the prey could not be caught, and Sun Erwa's hungry stomach growled, so she could only rely on picking wild fruits to satisfy her stomach.

But this thing not only did not fill but became more and more hungry the more he ate, and sometimes Sun Erwa even rolled on the ground hungry.

Gradually, he learned to dry the prey he caught and make it into jerky, so that he would not go crazy hungry when he lacked food.

On this day, Sun Erwa's luck was good and he caught a fox, he carefully peeled off the fox skin, skewered the fox meat on a branch and roasted it on the fire.

A fine fox skin is very precious and can be sold for a few taels of silver. But this must be done with the fox's fur intact, and if there is a hole in it, it is worthless.

This time, Sun Erwa's animal clamp just clamped the fox's hind legs, and it did not affect the beauty of the whole skin.

Sun Erwa decided to finish this meal of roasted fox meat, so she ventured into the city to sell the fox skin.

If the fox fur is really sold, the money in exchange for it can buy a lot of food.

Sun Erwa can't remember how long she hasn't eaten rice. The thought of Mi Xiang made his mouth water.

The flames crackled, and Sun Erwa turned the skewered fox meat back and forth, so that it was evenly heated.

After a while, the fox's meat became golden and shiny.

Sun Erwa swallowed a mouthful of spit and bit it hard.

"Hey, that's hot!"

He touched his lower lip and noticed a large blood blister.

After a razor, he blew on the fox meat for a long time before he dared to bite again.

This time, the temperature obviously dropped a lot, and after some testing, Sun Erwa ripped off a piece of meat.

The fox meat is a little sour, and there is no salt to flavor it, so the taste is weird.

But for Sun Erwa, this can already be regarded as a delicacy.

He devoured a meal and burped and lay on his back.

Looking at the blue sky and the occasional falling leaves, Sun Erwa closed her eyes with great enjoyment.

After a short rest, he rolled up the fox fur, laid a few traps, and descended the path.

Now he was very familiar with the mountain, and some of the trails were known only to him.

When Sun Erwa came to Jianchang City, the sky was getting dark, and he hesitated for a moment but took a step towards the city gate.

A few guards leaned lazily on the edge of the cave at the city gate, unable to arouse the slightest interest.

Sun Erwa buried her head and walked quickly with the crowd.

He had already made up his mind to go and return as soon as possible on this trip, and he would leave after selling the fox skin and buying food, and definitely not stop in the city for long.

As soon as he entered the city, he went to the eastern city.

Lao Zhang, who received the leather goods, was an old acquaintance with him, and the bid was fair and never lowered the price. As soon as you have a good skin, the first thing that comes to mind is Lao Zhang.

Turning northeast through the cross street, you will come to Lao Zhang's leather shop.

Far away, you can smell the smell of nitrate.

Sun Erwa wrapped the package tightly and entered the shop without hesitation.

"Lao Zhang, I'll bring you good goods again!"

Sun Erwa shouted at the top of her voice as she walked inside.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a thin figure and a slightly hunched back walked out.

Seeing that it was Sun Erwa, his eyes lit up and said, "What good goods?" Take it out and take a look. ”

Sun Erwa smiled, unwrapped the package, took out the fox skin and spread it on the cabinet, and said very proudly: "This is a good fire fox skin, there is not even an eye on the whole skin." Except for you Lao Zhang, I don't sell anyone. ”

When the shopkeeper saw the fox's skin, his eyes suddenly lit up.

What he does is a leather business, and he has never seen any good goods.

But he also had to admit that this fox skin was definitely superior.

"Anyway, how much are you going to sell?"

"Twenty taels!"

Sun Erwa said without hesitation.

Hiss!

Shopkeeper Zhang gasped when he heard this, and the smile on his face stopped abruptly.

Twenty taels, that's too much, right?

Although he admits that this leather is very good, it will definitely not sell for twenty taels.

"Ten taels, I'll give you ten taels at most. If you think it's less, try it somewhere else. ”

Firefox skins are rare, but they are never worth twenty taels.

Sun Erwa asked for a sky-high price, and the shopkeeper Zhang naturally had to pay back the money on the spot.

"Cheng, ten taels is ten taels, who told me to be familiar with your old Zhang."

Sun Erwa's eyes narrowed slightly, and she agreed without hesitation.

Only then did the shopkeeper realize that he had been fooled.

From the beginning, Sun Erwa didn't want to sell it for twenty taels. The reason why he proposed this price was to let the shopkeeper cut it.

At the beginning, the price was raised very high, and the shopkeeper Zhang could sell it for ten taels even if he cut it.

However, Shopkeeper Zhang is not prepared to care about this.

First, he and Sun Erwa have a good relationship, and there will definitely be cooperation in the future, so there is no need to stiffen the relationship.

The second is that even if he collects this fire fox skin for ten taels of silver, he can still make a fortune.

"Do you want broken silver or whole ingots of silver?"

Shopkeeper Zhang raised his eyebrows.

"Broken silver, easy to use!"

Sun Erwa said without hesitation.

"Okay, you wait here."

Shopkeeper Zhang turned around and went into the inner room, and after a while, he took out a package.

"The broken silver is in it."

Sun Erwa unwrapped the package, and her eyes straightened in an instant.

Although the quality of this silver is not very sufficient, it is definitely real silver.

Sun Erwa had never seen so much silver, and she couldn't wait to grit her teeth one by one to determine the authenticity.

Hunting is all about luck. Of course, Sun Erwa would not think that her luck would always be so good. Then, this time, he had to plan how to spend the ten taels of silver. Of course, you have to spend some of it to buy grain, and you have to buy some salt, and you have to save the rest.

After thinking about it, Sun Erwa tied the package again, and smiled at the shopkeeper: "It's done, I won't disturb Lao Zhang, you do business." I'll come back to you next time I have good goods. ”

Then he turned around and walked out.

Cui Ji Mi Xing is only one street away from Lao Zhang's leather shop, and it is convenient to go there.

But when he turned the corner, he froze completely, because a group of soldiers of the Great Western Army were walking towards him.
