Chapter 40: A Windfall from Heaven

The movements of the two giant birds became more and more sluggish, and a large amount of blood poured out of their wounds, spilling everywhere, forming pools of blood everywhere. The fluttering of the giant bird when it was dying also caused the fire to be completely dispersed, and there were broken pieces of wood that were still burning everywhere, but the area was quite bright.

The chaotic crowd also calmed down at this time, under the command of the leaders, extinguishing the fire, lighting the lamps, rescuing the wounded, and rescuing the wounded, the big livestock that were burned to the point of being miserable were also pulled away, as for the big livestock that was scratched by the sharp claws of the giant bird, due to excessive blood loss, it was already dying at this time, and it was naturally carried away.

Miao Qishan, the leader of Miao Xiji's guards, was already excited at this time and was almost dancing with his hands, two giant birds, Miao Xiji's henchmen for many days, this is a great achievement, although the direct commander is Miao Zhongshan, and it seems that the two giant birds who shot the two giant birds are not Miao Xiji's guards, but as the highest commander present, no one can take away his share of the credit!

However, when the people around him counted the casualties and reported them, Miao Qishan's good mood immediately decreased by half. In this booby trap operation, Miao Xiji had a total of 48 guards at the scene, including 15 gunmen, 28 archers, and 15 other personnel. Up to now, of the 48 people, only 11 have not been injured or have negligible injuries, and the rest have either suffered burns and scalds of varying severity, or have injured their legs and arms, and two have died of broken neck bones because they fell from a height! This is also a considerable amount of expenditure.

"Big Boss, Big Boss, we're going to make a fortune this time!" one of his bodyguards stepped forward excitedly and lowered his voice, "Those two giant birds may be edelweiss!"

Miao Qishan grabbed the guard's arm in surprise and said, "Can you be sure? They are edelweiss?" Edelweiss fabric is relatively rare, so it is very popular with the powerful, and many noble ladies and ladies of Chongguo are proud of having edelweiss fabric.

It's just that this edelweiss has very few habitats in Chongguo, and they are huge, often flying at high altitudes that are difficult for arrows to reach, and they are fierce by nature, they can hunt large and medium-sized prey, and they like to go out at night, so it is a high-risk thing to hunt adult edelweisses. But high risk also comes with high returns, and the edelweiss that an adult edelweiss can "produce" can often sell for hundreds of blue gold coins in the Chongguo market, and even then, it is often priceless.

"The big boss, the little one has seen an edelweiss before, and nine times out of ten it should be. The bodyguard said excitedly, "Isn't there an experienced old shopkeeper in the clan, please come and let them see, can't you be sure?" The corpses of the two adult edelweisses are worth nearly a thousand blue gold coins, which is a considerable amount of income even for Miao Xiji.

Looking at the back of the guards who left quickly, Miao Qishan was also hot, nearly a thousand blue gold coins, that is, to make up for all the losses caused by this in the set, and there would be an extremely considerable amount of money left!

"Oops!" Miao Qishan suddenly remembered that these two giant birds were not shot by these guards from Miao Xiji, but Miao Zhongshan went to see the marksman, and his heart immediately became cold.

Although he didn't see the sharpshooter shoot the giant bird, since Miao Zhongshan said this, he definitely wouldn't be talking nonsense. This cousin of his own, but Miao Xi is recognized by everyone as the most outstanding in archery. Moreover, he also saw the chaotic scene at that time, and these guards who were concentrated either dodged in a panic, or although they attacked, they had no effect at all, and even Miao Zhongshan did not find a chance to make a move. And that marksman was able to pierce the neck of the giant bird with two arrows, and it was obvious that the archery skills were still on Miao Zhongshan Mountain!

Although it is said that these two giant birds were lured down by them, but this is not hunting in the mountains, and the chaotic situation at that time, if it was not for the other party to shoot and kill these two giant birds, they are likely to leave safely with their prey, and a few days later, they will come to Miao Xiji as their hunting ground. Therefore, there is no position to condemn the other party at all, but the other party should be thanked for helping Miao Xiji get rid of this evil, and the corpses of these two giant birds, which may be edelweiss, should also be handed over to the other party for disposal.

Miao Qishan felt as if a piece of his heart had been cut off, nearly a thousand blue gold coins, the Miao people have multiplied here for more than a hundred years, and the accumulated family property is only tens of thousands of blue gold coins! Nearly a thousand blue gold coins that may be in their hands have to be given up, how can this make people willing.

Miao Zhongshan naturally didn't know the entanglement in his cousin's heart at this time, and when he rushed to Lin Bin, Lin Bin and the two had already joined Yan Pengyu and others, Yan Pengyu heard the blue wolf say that the two giant birds had been shot by Lin Bin, although he was amazed, but he was not so surprised, after all, Lin Bin had a precedent of shooting Cadigo with an arrow before, although this giant bird was fierce, how much higher could it be than Cadigo?

"Isn't this the Miao Zhongshan Miao leader?" Yan Pengyu said with a smile, "Do you remember my Yan Pengyu?" The Yan clan caravan has been walking this trade route all year round, and Miao Xiji can be said to be an important node, and Yan Pengyu naturally has some contact with the person in charge of this Miao Xiji.

Miao Zhongshan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the big shopkeeper, please forgive Zhongshan for being clumsy for a while and not recognizing it." "The Yan family is still quite famous in Donghai County, and as the person in charge of the Yan family in business, Yan Pengyu is naturally famous.

"When did the big shopkeeper enter my Miao Xiji, Brother Lianshan also mentioned the big shopkeeper yesterday, why haven't you come back from Dongling Village yet. Miao Zhongshan smiled again, the big brother Lianshan he said in his mouth was Gu Lianshan, the steward of Miao Xi's centralized charge of commercial affairs, and the trade between the Yan clan caravan and Miao Xiji was in charge of him, and he had a good relationship with Yan Pengyu.

"Miaoxiji, which entered this evening, was delayed for a few days in Dongling Village because of something. Yan Pengyu said with a smile, "I entertained these two distinguished guests on your Miaoxi upstairs in the evening, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing. ”

Miao Zhongshan's eyes fell on Lin Bin and the blue wolf, and asked with a smile: "Great shopkeeper, these two distinguished guests have helped us Miao Xiji a lot today." ”
