Chapter 66: The Archer
Xia Li comforted Dangdang again, telling it to eat and sleep well. In her previous life, she occasionally went on business trips, and would hand over Dangdang to a friend to take care of, and every time she came back to Dangdang, she would lose weight. Because it misses her, it doesn't sleep well or eat well. Once she went on a business trip abroad, it was relatively long, more than three months, and came back to find that it was skinny and skinny, and actually had depression, and went to the pet hospital to see a few months of illness.
Several people had breakfast, and before Xia left to call Xia Shan, Xia Laohan and Xia Shan, Mrs. Xia, and Erhu came to the house.
They heard early in the morning that a snake had broken into the Xia family in the middle of the night, and the noise was so loud that almost half of the village heard it. It was also a big bluff, and hurriedly came together.
Xia Shan opened the sack, and the head and neck of the snake were on top. He was amazed and said, "God, three arrows hit seven inches, and two arrows hit the eye. "You only have five arrows in total, and the arrows are not missing." Lili, you, why did you shoot so accurately, or in the night! ”
He was incredible, and he couldn't find such an archer in the army.
When Xia Laohan saw it, he also gasped, puffed out his eyes and said, "Good girl, your grandfather has been hunting for more than ten years, and he doesn't have this skill, don't say see it before, I haven't even heard of it, you haven't been learning archery for a long time." ”
Xia Li smiled and said, "Hasn't my grandfather always praised me for being smart?" I'm as smart as a talented father, and I'm as good as my grandfather, who made my elders so smart. He explained, "Although it was night, the moonlight was bright, and my eyes were good, so I could see clearly...... Hehe, there's luck in it, too. ”
Xia Laohan was laughed out loud, just laughed a few times, the laughter suddenly stuck in his throat, his eyes were like bull's eyes, and he pointed at the python and exclaimed, "This, this, this is the Jinpan python!" Good boy, Golden Plate Python! Such a powerful big guy was actually shot to death by a little lady. How can it be! ”
He had only seen the golden python once from afar when he was young, and he ran away with his life. I was surprised by Xia Li's archery skills just now, so now I found out that this big snake was actually a golden python.
Xia Shan knew what the golden python looked like, but he had never seen it, and he didn't associate the big snake shot by the little girl with the legendary powerful python. After listening to Xia Laohan's words, he was also shocked.
Xia Shan shouted, "It is said that the Jinpan python is very powerful, unless there are many people far away, and the archery skills are good, otherwise even the old hunter has to avoid it, and he was actually shot to death by a person." ”
Xia Laohan took a closer look at the hole that was pierced by the arrow, and praised it, "Shoot five arrows in a row, and the arrows hit the vital point, not only to have good archery skills, but also to be calm and fast, and to have good eyesight." My detachment is so capable! ”
She actually became his departure.
Xia Li blushed from being praised by them. smiled, "How can I be so powerful, Dangdang also helped a lot." ”
Xia Laohan shook his head and said, "The dog gnawed off half of the python's neck, it should have gnawed when it was about to die." Otherwise, don't say it's a dog, it's a tiger, as long as you get close to it, you will be entangled by it, and then eat ......"
He looked at Xia Li with green eyes, how good it would be if this was a boy, there must be a big future.
Xia said that he wanted Xia Shan to accompany Xia to leave the county seat to sell pythons. She didn't dare to say that someone paid 600 taels of silver to buy a gold plate python, only said that she would sell the python to a restaurant.
Xia Shan also heard from the shopkeeper He in Yixiang Restaurant last time that there was a rich man in the provincial capital who was willing to pay six hundred taels of silver to buy a gold plate python, and said happily, "Cheng, this thing is worth a lot of money...... " glanced at his wife, and quickly changed his words, "It will definitely be sold for ten taels of silver." ”
Xia Laohan shook his head and said quite old-fashionedly, "What do young post-nators know, this Jinpan python is a good thing, whichever hunter catches it, it is enough to eat for a lifetime, and there is no need to work hard to be a hunter in the future." It is worth more than a sunbird, and I estimate that it will sell for at least two hundred taels of silver. Remember this price, and don't be deceived. ”
Mrs. Xia was so shocked that she almost sat on the ground, and immediately shouted, "I'll go with you to sell for money, and I'll bargain." You offspring babies don't understand anything, and you don't blame you. ”
Xia hurriedly said, "Mother, if the price of the county seat is not suitable, they will rush to the provincial capital." It's such a long way, you're old, I'm afraid you can't stand the toss. ”
Xia Shan also said, "Mother, if you go with me, you won't be blinded." ”
Xia Laohan saw that the old lady was so excited that his face turned red, and he knew her thoughts. frowned and said, "How many times have I said you, you don't have much to do with the affairs of your daughter's family." The price was paid to Shanzi and the girl, and they knew. ”
Xia Li pulled the old man's sleeve and said with a smile, "Grandpa, if I sell it for a good price, I will buy you a good jade mouth pipe." ”
The old man looked at the bamboo pipe in his hand and nodded with a smile.
Mrs. Xia snorted coldly, "Where is there enough for a pipe, the bow and arrows were given to you by your grandfather, and the archery was taught by your grandfather, so you should give us half of it." ”
There are also people who don't want to be old-faced.
Xia Li didn't bother to say, before the money arrived, it began to be on here, and he had to ask for half of it.
Xia Shan frowned and said, "Mother, didn't my father just say, when he was young, he didn't dare to fight when he saw the Jinpan Python, and I didn't dare to fight if I was left alone." Lili was able to kill the python, because she had great ability and took great risks. ”
The old lady still wanted to say, but Old Man Xia glared at her and said, "Shanzi is right, the girl is better than me, and I don't have this ability." ”
The old man was really glad that he had such a capable granddaughter.
Xia Li smiled again, "I'll buy my grandfather a pine tiger head cane used by Grandpa Zhou, and a pack of good tobacco." ”
She did receive the old man's gift of bow and arrow. You can buy him more, but you can't give him silver!
The old lady had to rest her mind first. Thinking about how to get the Xia family to give more money to their mother's family when they come back. The daughter who was raised by herself has been taken care of by her own family, and she has not yet had her own son, so she is not allowed to leave her mother's family without such a big fortune, and she has to give a hundred taels of silver anyway. With so much money, not only did he have the money for Shanzi and Daxiong Ju's daughter-in-law, but he could also buy more fields and a cow, and his donkey was too old to pull a plow. In the future, my own family will be the first in the village, and of course it is not as good as my daughter's family......
Several people discussed that the fact that the big snake could sell for a lot of money must be kept secret and not spread to the outside world. You must go to the county seat immediately, and if the price is not suitable, you will have enough time to hire a carriage or take a boat to the provincial capital.
Xia Li glanced at Xia again, the mother and daughter went to the side, Xia Li whispered, "Coming back from the provincial capital, I want to live in the county seat for a day, spend some money first, buy a few people, and then buy some fields, and then say that the money is gone." ”
not only rejected Mrs. Xia, but also guarded against outsiders. This python can be sold for so much money, and Mrs. Xia will definitely shout if she can't get it.
Xia blushed unconsciously and nodded in agreement.
