At the foot of Tiger Hill Mountain, at the hunter's hut.

The group gathered in one place, surrounded by jackals, foxes, wild boars, leopards and other prey.

They had climbed the hill and caught all the foxes, but ········ There are no white foxes.

"How do you do things? How could there be no white fox? ”

Some of the rich housekeepers jumped to their feet in anger and became angry at the group of hunters.

"This lord, it's not that we don't do our best, there are really no foxes!"

A young hunter stepped forward and could see that he was here to speak.

"We've been all over here, you may not know much, but we believe that there will be no more foxes that have not been found, this is just a small hill!"

"No matter how fast the fox is, it can't run out of the falcon's eyes, no matter how well it hides, it can't hide from the hound's nose, and there are no other foxes here!"

He pointed to the fox on the ground, whose limbs were bound and struggling on the ground, and swore an oath:

"That's all the foxes we've found, all red foxes, not the white foxes you said."

"No white fox? There is no white fox! Without the white fox, how can I go back and explain to the master?! ”

This time, this family is really popular, and no matter how strong these hunters in front of him are, they can knock him over with one hand.

He jumped three feet high, crossed his waist, and his eyes were about to pop out.

"I tell you, there must be a white fox here, there must be a white fox, and there must be a white fox!"

"Without the white fox, it's not easy for me to explain when I go back, it's hard for me to explain, and you don't want to get a penny for that reward!"

As soon as this sentence came out, he suddenly felt bad.

The hunters on the field were all unkind, their hands were on the hilt of the knife at their waists, and not far away, some sturdy people also had flashing eyes, faintly approaching here.

Cold sweat wet the placket behind his back, and the housekeeper knew that he had provoked the anger of the people, and was about to say something soft to go down the stairs, when the bureau heard the young hunter speak from earlier.

"This lord, we have said in advance, we have received the reward that the white fox has gotten, and there is a salary that we can't get if we can't get it, and now we really haven't found the white fox, and the white fox's reward doesn't dare to ask you. It's just that the share of wages we should receive, you won't want to swallow it up, right? ”

Although it sounded good, the young hunter's tone was also a little harsh.

It is not uncommon to deceive superiors and subordinates and deduct reward money.

But these hunters are no different, they often need to beg for food with knives, and this is a barren mountain, if it really falls out······· Anyway, every year, there are always a few unlucky guys who fall to their deaths or are eaten by wild beasts.

At this time, this family member obviously thought of this layer, he is usually a clever person, otherwise the prefect would not have entrusted him with such a private matter.

At the moment, he secretly complained, but he still restrained himself a little, and replied with a reluctant smile:

"The hard work that should be paid is naturally impossible to be less. I was just angry for a while, so I said the wrong thing, and I ask a few people to bear with me, and I want to bear with me. ”

"Well, take labor money and do things for others, and we won't deliberately go to the banquet for you."

After saying that, the atmosphere on the field eased down, and everyone returned to the previous atmosphere.

"It's just this little brother, I mean, what if, if there really is a white fox in this mountain? What if, hiding somewhere, it is not discovered? ”

Jiading still tried to persuade again, after all, this is related to the master's orders, before the master told him in every possible way, he was sure in every way, he really didn't dare to slack off.

Just like that, a flogging sentence is indispensable.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.

"If there really is a fox that is so well hidden, I didn't find it the first time, and it will be the same when I come back the second time. We are tired, hounds and falcons are tired, and it is no longer possible for them to run up and down the mountain. ”

"Besides, it will be dark in a while, this mountain is dangerous, if you don't leave now, you won't have time to catch up with the city gate, don't sleep under the city gate at that time."

The hunters mean they don't want to go any further.

The hounds on their hands were all sticking out their tongues and lying lazily on the ground, and their owners were fed some dry food.

The falcon is still a hundred times more energetic, but it has been staring at the fox on the ground, if it is not appeased, I am afraid that it will not be able to help but go down to eat.

Looking at this scene, Jia Ding also felt that it was not very realistic.

Finally, he thought about it, suddenly looked up and said:

"It's better to ·········· Burn the mountain! ”

"What?"

"No!"

"Do you want to anger the mountain god?"

The hunters reacted differently, but they were all opposed.

"I'll add another five hundred taels from my own private money, it's just a small hill, just force the fox out!"

Hearing five hundred taels, they hesitated a little.

"Six hundred taels!"

There are also objections.

"Beware of the wrath of the mountain gods!"

"Seven hundred taels!"

"It's too much to burn the mountain, and if you die, you will be caught by the mountain god and sent to hell!"

"A thousand taels at most, I only have so much! If not, we'll go back! I have no money! ”

There was a moment of silence on the field, looking at each other, and the young hunter at the head nodded.

"It's done, a thousand taels, we'll burn the mountain for you and force out all the game in the mountain, but the ugly words are ahead, if you are repaying the debt, beware of our knives!"

"Don't worry, how can I regret it? As long as you burn the mountain for me, I will definitely pay a thousand taels in full, and I will not deny it. ”

Blood was dripping from his heart, and the family gritted his teeth, and the smile on his face couldn't be hung up.

"I hope so."

The hunters at the head called all the people together, and discussed how to burn them, how to block the intersection, and force out the hidden beasts.

These hunters knew each other, lived very closely, and had dealt with each other to some extent, and at this time the division of labor and cooperation quickly finalized a simple and easy plan.

Then, in the planning of the young hunters at the head, the people collected combustibles, and with some oil and charcoal that had been prepared in the car, they began to light fires on the paths that could be passed in various places in the mountains.

One place after another, and soon there were flames in all directions, and billowing smoke came out, creating the illusion that the mountain was on fire.

Burning mountains is fake, smoking is real, and real burning mountains is unwilling, which is tantamount to cutting off the livelihood of hunters and herb pickers.

Their idea was to smoke early in the morning, and the combustibles that were prepared in the car were for this.

In other words, even if this family member does not take the initiative to raise the reward, they will eventually try to smoke this path.

"It's hateful, it's hateful, how can there be such an anomaly among the hunters, so cunning, and let the little master lose a thousand taels for nothing!"

He remembered the appearance of this young hunter with hatred, and vaguely heard other hunters call him He Jialang.

"Don't bump into the hands of the master in the future, otherwise············ Otherwise, you will be sued and your family will be ruined! ”

It just so happened that at this moment, the eldest man of the He family turned his head and gave him a bright smile, with a heavy forehead sinister aura, which frightened the family all over.

"What's wrong, Dalang?"

An acquaintance hunter noticed the young hunter's gaze, looked at it suspiciously, and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just looking at a gallless monkey, hey, this trip is really a good deal, there are nearly three thousand taels more when you come and go, let's go back and find a white fox to come out, there can be three thousand and a half scattered, enough to buy dozens of knives in the village."

He Dalang is one of the best hunters in the nearby village, and he is the leader of this generation.

"What if there are no white foxes here?"

"It's okay, we can dye the fur white, and then I remember that there is an earthwork, which can also turn the fox hair white, anyway, those officials and masters are not diligent and do not distinguish between the four bodies and the grains, and they can still tell how to turn white."

He grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"After this trip is over, and after selling all this game, we will have to scavenge for more iron and go back to get a few more knives. This national teacher died violently, the emperor fainted, and it was a bad omen everywhere, I looked, this Da Liao was about to be in chaos again1"
