Bai Rongmu sent Gu Ziyuan away, then put away the dishes and chopsticks, and by the way, he warmed up the soup that had been boiled last night, and waited for Granny Pan to drink it.

In order to find some nutritious ingredients for Granny Pan and save some money by the way, she simply made a simple fishing rod with a bamboo pole and a thin line, and went directly to the back mountain with a basket on her back.

There is a lake here, and there are no people around, so it is a good place for fishing.

Although she has devoted most of her life to work and study, fishing is the only pleasure she enjoys. Over time, the technique of fishing has slowly come up.

She found an open space and sat down, dug a few earthworms out of the fertile mud, hung them on a hook made of sewing needles, carefully threw them into the water, and sat motionless on the shore with a pole.

Seeing the sun rise higher and higher, the heat on the top of his head was rising, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, and his clothes were also clinging to his body with hot sweat.

Hours passed, and she was almost roasted, not to mention, hatefully, she didn't even see a fish's tail.

The surface of the lake is as calm as a mirror, and only the shadows of people can be seen.

Could it be that she has been reborn for a lifetime, and this fishing skill has also been restarted?

She raised her hand to wipe a handful of hot sweat, and when she was so impatient that she wanted to scold her mother, the fishhook suddenly moved, and her tired nerves tensed instantly.

She quickly held her breath, suppressed the urge to exclaim, and stared at the water.

After the hook floated up and down a few times, the pole suddenly sank, and a huge force pulled it down violently.

The time has come!

She stood up with a "rub", gritted her teeth and pulled the fishing rod away from the water, and a half-sized grass carp swayed wildly in the air.

"Brother, I'm sorry, who let you take the bait?"

She chuckled a few times, threw the fish and the rod directly on the ground, and quickly plucked the fish off with her hands and feet, threw it into the back basket and walked back.

The thought of being able to drink the fragrant fish soup for a while made her smile more and more happy, and even her steps were much lighter.

In order to get home quickly, she simply took a shortcut.

When I was walking from the foot of the mountain, I vaguely saw a familiar figure coming up the mountain.

She hurriedly waved her arms and pulled her throat: "Gu Ziyuan, Gu Ziyuan." ”

The boy vaguely heard someone calling his name and glanced back. Lush trees blocked his view, and he was never heard called again.

Coupled with the rugged and steep mountain road, he really didn't dare to be distracted, so he could only pick up his green shirt and walk into the woods step by step.

After a while, he saw a house made of wood in a clearing. Outside, a row of wooden stakes is formed to form a fence to enclose the wooden house in the middle.

Outside the hut hung a few bows and arrows and sharpened knives, glowing in the sun.

Gu Ziyuan sank and raised his voice: "Is anyone at home?" Is anyone there? ”

"Who?"

A dark-skinned strong man pushed the door and walked out, looking Gu Ziyuan up and down a few times: "Who are you looking for?" ”

The rough voice was like corn ballast, and it was very rough. Coupled with the fact that he hunts animals all year round, he naturally carries a fierce aura on his body, which makes people fearful.

Gu Ziyuan is handsome in appearance, and he is a scholar, and he looks thinner and thinner in front of him.

But it was extremely rare that he was not shocked by the anger on Orion's body, but met the man's gaze with a calm and sophisticated face. His eyes sank, and he said, "Ziyuan came here today to worship you as a teacher and want you to teach me how to hunt." ”

"If Ziyuan completes his studies, half of the animals he hunts in the first half of the year will be given to the master. If something happens, it has nothing to do with you. If you don't feel at ease, Ziyuan will sign a contract with you today, just ask you to teach me once. ”

As the boy spoke, he bent over with an old-fashioned face.

Orion was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed out loud after reacting: "It's really rare today, a scholar is not good at studying, but he went up to the mountain to learn art." What are you not good at learning, but you want to learn to hunt? Don't say anything else, just say that you have small arms and legs, you can be bitten by wolves if you go up. ”

"At that time, let alone the arms and legs, it is to pick up a life, and it is also the green smoke in your boy's ancestral grave, and the ancestors will bless you."

"Uncle, don't worry, even if I have an accident, it has nothing to do with you, and my family will definitely not trouble you," Gu Ziyuan's face was solemn, "If Ziyuan becomes a great weapon in the future, he will not forget today's kindness, and ask Uncle to take me as an apprentice." ”

His expression was extremely determined, and Orion was moved by his resolute countenance.

If it weren't for the fact that his mother-in-law was seriously ill and needed to recuperate, and his family was poor, why would he take such a big risk to learn to hunt?

If he learns it, he still has a skill, and the family will not be cold and starving.

Orion looked him up and down a few times, touching his beard as if he was wondering something.

Gu Ziyuan's eyes sank, he simply lifted the corners of his robe, straightened his waist and knelt on the ground: "Please accept me as an apprentice." ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed directly.

As soon as Bai Rong went up the mountain, he saw this scene and trembled in shock. I didn't even have time to catch my breath, and dragged my heavy steps to that side.

Orion was also startled, and hurried to help him up.

The door of the inner room squeaked open, and a rural woman walked out with a knife, pointed at Gu Ziyuan and sneered: "You want to learn to hunt?" Besides, this mountain is so big, if you learn this ability, we will drink the northwest wind in the future? ”

"I see you dressed as a scholar, but you don't want to be a brainless. With your little ability, you will definitely not be able to read this book, so you might as well follow the old blind man at the head of the village to ask for food! ”

Gu Ziyuan's thick eyebrows were frowned, his fists were clenched, the green tendons on the back of his hands were bulging, and he looked at the woman neither humbly nor arrogantly.

In the end, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he accepted all these insulting words.

Bai Rong was enraged by the words of the village woman, and rushed over angrily: "Ziyuan is going to become a pillar of the country in the future, how can you ignorant juniors guess his thoughts?" The big husband can bend and stretch, and he will be able to make great achievements one day! ”

The young man's deep eyes shook a little because of her words, and his heart was filled with some warmth.

When he was looking up at her, Bai Rong grabbed his arm and wanted to pull him up: "The man has gold under his knees, let's not kneel for such an unreasonable person!" ”

"Bai Rong, this matter has nothing to do with you, you just need to take good care of your mother-in-law."

Gu Ziyuan turned to look at Orion: "If it weren't for the difficulties at home, I wouldn't have come to this point-"

"Cut, that girl has talked to that point, and you still expect us to help you? There are no doors! ”

The peasant woman took Orion by the arm and went through the door.

Gu Ziyuan gritted his teeth and endured the humiliation. Bai Rong couldn't see that he was wronged, his heart was distressed, and he gritted his teeth: "Let's go, I have a way to make money." ”

The boy took a deep breath and stood up, but he didn't take her words seriously.

After lunch, Bai Rong asked for a hundred copper plates from his mother-in-law and went to the grain store to buy a lot of soybeans.

Gu Ziyuan put down the book and looked at the tuft of soybeans: "You just said that these things can make money?" ”

"yes, you'll see."
