Volume 2 The Graceful Boy Chapter 31 The Shameless Iron Tower

The eldest grandson leaned against the brown bear's carcass, panting and flushed.

The experience just now was still echoing in the eldest grandson's mind, making the eldest grandson's brain a little confused, and at the same time making him a little excited.

He actually broke through at a critical moment, and he actually killed this brown bear.

At the last moment, the eldest grandson didn't know where the situation would go, he was purely under the threat of death, he was cornered and burst out of power, if such a blow still could not end the life of the brown bear, then he would definitely become the belly of the brown bear.

Fortunately, this time the goddess of luck took pity on herself, the eldest grandson thought in his heart.

The eldest grandson took a few breaths to calm his agitated emotions, then got up, and before he had time to check his loot, he quickly picked up the carcass of the brown bear and ran back.

An experienced hunter like the eldest grandson understands that exposing blood in the jungle and not leaving immediately is tantamount to looking for death.

Therefore, the eldest grandson did not have time to dispose of the corpse, so he quickly left the scene with the corpse and went to the cave he had prepared before.

After entering the cave, the eldest grandson immediately covered the entrance of the cave with camouflage, and at the same time sprinkled sulfur around it to cover the smell of blood.

After doing this, the eldest grandson breathed a sigh of relief and began to dispose of the brown bear's carcass.

It was impossible to transport such a large carcass back to the town in its entirety, so the valuable parts of the brown bear had to be removed and brought back.

The eldest grandson was obviously a veteran in this area, and he replaced a small dagger in his hand, and divided the brown bear's skin by two, and removed the brown bear's paws and other valuable parts.

After the eldest grandson did all this, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the remaining bear meat, and felt a pity, after all, his physical strength was limited, and there was only so much he could take away, and the remaining bear meat could only be cheaper than the lucky beast.

After recovering some of his strength, the eldest grandson did not hesitate, turned around and left, and ran towards the town as fast as he could when he got out of the cave, at this time it was already dark, and in a while night would come.

The night in the jungle is more terrible than the day, and even an experienced hunter like the eldest grandson is not willing to stay in the jungle at night.

When he saw the town appear in his field of vision, the eldest grandson's hanging heart fell to the ground.

Although he has been hunting in the wild for a long time, his cautious nature has made the eldest grandson never careless because of his experience, but has become more cautious.

The eldest grandson walked to the entrance of the town, and Chu Li was bored sitting on the small stool at the door of the house waiting for the eldest grandson to come back.

When Chu Li saw the eldest grandson coming back, he immediately rushed out happily.

"Brother, you're back, why are you so late today?" The little girl saw that the eldest grandson came back late, and she was happy but also complained a little.

"Well, I had a little trouble today. But today we're blessed, you see......"

The eldest grandson was about to show off to Chu Li with the bear meat in his hand, when Uncle Ma in the town suddenly interrupted the eldest grandson.

"The little hunter is back, but keep me waiting, my big iron pot will be burned through." Although Uncle Ma said so, he was also sincerely happy to see the eldest grandson come back safely.

"Uncle Ma, I won't let your big iron pot burn through, let's eat bear meat today."

The eldest grandson shouted out the neighbors, surrounded the eldest grandson, and saw the big bear head on the eldest grandson's back at a glance.

"Today I invite everyone to eat bear meat, everyone goes to Uncle Ma's house and waits, Chu Li came to wash the meat." The eldest grandson beckoned everyone while summoning Chu Li to work.

Although Qingshan Town is a small town, the residents of the town are very simple, and most of the feelings between the neighbors are sincere.

The eldest grandson took advantage of this moment to run to the only mercenary post in the town.

Because this is not only a post station, but also the only dealer in the town who buys materials and sells goods, Chen is blind.

Blind Chen lived in the mercenary station, and the hunters in the town would sell the materials they brought back from hunting or the medicinal herbs they collected to Blind Chen.

Chen Blind has his own channels to take these materials to other inland for processing.

Chen is blind with a pair of black glasses, no one in the town knows whether this Chen blind man is really blind or fake blind, but everyone knows that he is not blind in heart, and he is as black as his black glasses.

The eldest grandson found the blind man with ease, threw down the valuable materials he had taken from the brown bear on his back, and went straight to the point.

"See how much it's worth?"

After that, the eldest grandson found a chair to sit down, poured himself a cup of tea, and tasted it slowly.

Chen Blind didn't talk nonsense, his hand groped for the cloth bag on the table, and after untying it, he took the same materials in his hand and fumbled.

With a cup of tea, Chen Blind finished checking the materials.

"Well, this time it's worth a few dollars, enough for you to drink my tea."

The eldest grandson drank the tea in the cup and said, "This time the goods were inspected so quickly?" I don't need to look at it anymore, but this time it's the materials I got back from the brown bear I sacrificed my life to kill. ”

"Hmph, if I don't hurry up and check it, let you finish drinking my tea here, then I'll lose a lot. Did you give your life to get the materials back? Hmph, that can only mean that you are cheap. Blind Chen's tone towards the eldest grandson didn't look like he was doing business at all, and his bad tone seemed to be talking to a debt collector.

The eldest grandson unhurriedly refilled another cup of tea for himself, then stood up and said: "Don't pretend in front of me, just your tea, it's all over the mountains, what is expensive." The paws of my brown bear are all intact, and the skin of the bear is intact, and it is the favorite of the people of the city above to make clothes. The rest of the bones are also the hardest parts of the body, and they are also rare and good materials for refining weapons, and these things are valuable goods. Can you compare this broken tea? How much does it cost to say directly? The eldest grandson's tone was equally harsh.

Blind Chen didn't get angry or continue to refute as if he was used to it, but thought for a moment and said, "Twenty copper coins at most." ”

After hearing the price, the eldest grandson said without hesitation: "Fifty." ”

After hearing this, Chen Blind immediately took off his black glasses excitedly like a fried cat, and his voice was also sharpened.

"Fifty, why don't you grab it. When you come up, you will double the asking price, every time you come to me to sell something, do you have the sincerity to do business with me. ”

The eldest grandson looked at the eyes that were revealed after Chen Blind took off his dark glasses, which were a pair of eyes with only the whites of the eyes, which looked a little scary.

But the eldest grandson looked at these eyes calmly, as if his eyes could penetrate everything.

Although Chen Blind couldn't see the eldest grandson looking at him anymore, it was as if he took off his glasses and took off his disguise, as if the eldest grandson saw through him at a glance.

Blind Chen put his glasses back on, and then reluctantly said, "Thirty, don't raise the price with me again." ”

"Forty-five."

"Forty, no more."

"Forty-five, pay for it, don't lose a penny."

Blind Chen wanted to fight a few more words, but under the gaze of the eldest grandson, he slowly lost the battle, and angrily flicked his sleeves and left.

The eldest grandson was not in a hurry, and continued to drink tea leisurely.

After a while, Chen Blind came back, holding the money in his hand, threw it on the table, and said angrily: "Take the money and leave quickly, don't rub my tea here." ”

The eldest grandson took the money and weighed it, and said with a smile: "Thank you Boss Chen, if Boss Chen is fine, why don't you go with me to eat bear meat?" ”

"Don't go!" Blind Chen turned his face away as if he had a grudge.

"Then I'll retire first, and I'll come to Boss Chen another day to have tea and discuss."

The eldest grandson said and retired.

The eldest grandson is gone, and Chen's blind anger has not disappeared.

"Tea tasting? The stinky boy knows the way of a fart. Hmph, a belly of careful thought. ”

The eldest grandson patted the money in his pocket, feeling satisfied.

The currencies that circulate in mainland Kyushu are copper coins, silver dollars, and gold leaves.

One hundred copper coins can be exchanged for one silver dollar, and one hundred silver dollars can be exchanged for a gold leaf, and gold leaf has greater artistic value and collection value due to its rare materials and perfect craftsmanship, so generally even if you have a hundred silver dollars, you may not be able to exchange it for a gold leaf.

The eldest grandson felt in his pocket the forty-five copper coins he had just earned, calculating in his heart the money he had accumulated from hunting for half a year.

Although the eldest grandson has not been idle for more than half a year to hunt and make money, but now, aside from his daily expenses, his savings are only about four or five hundred copper coins.

Don't look at the income of forty-five copper coins today, but such income is very small in most of the past six months.

The eldest grandson estimated in his heart: "Four or five hundred copper coins, that is, four or five silver dollars, the average family's annual expenses are about one silver dollar, and I only have four or five silver dollars now...... Alas, it's hard to make money. ”

Although according to this calculation, the eldest grandson has four or five silver dollars, which can be regarded as some savings, but one silver dollar a year can only solve the most basic food and clothing for ordinary families, and for the current situation of Chu Li, the eldest grandson will have more places to use money in the future, and these four or five silver dollars immediately seem to be a drop in the bucket.

Whether in the previous life or in the first half of his life, the eldest grandson did not lose money, and now such a dilemma really makes the eldest grandson feel that it is not easy for people at the bottom of the society to live.

In Qingshan Town, because of the eldest grandson's harvest today, everyone ate a meal of bear meat, and after eating, everyone went home to rest satisfied.

Chu Li was still busy cleaning up the mess, and the eldest grandson was sitting in front of the door, holding a dead branch in his hand to pick his teeth, while watching Chu Li's busy figure.

Tie Ta walked over, sat next to the eldest grandson without saying a word, and after a long time, took out the gentleman's lunch box and said, "Today, you go to deliver the meal." ”

The eldest grandson looked at Mr.'s lunch box, was stunned for a moment, and said, "You mean to say that Mr. hasn't eaten yet?" ”

Saying that, the eldest grandson looked at the sky, and the moon was already hanging high, and the sky was full of stars.

Tie Ta rarely blushed and said, "The bear meat is so delicious, so you go and deliver the food." ”

The eldest grandson was stunned for a long time after hearing these two irrelevant sentences.

"You mean, it's all because the bear meat I got back was so delicious that you forgot to deliver it. It's all my fault, that's why you want me to deliver food, right? ”

The tower regained its expressionless appearance.

"Hmm."

The eldest grandson looked at the tower's unintentional appearance, and shook his head and said, "Shameless." ”

Even under the sharp gaze of the eldest grandson, the iron tower still did not change its face, and in the end, the eldest grandson had to be defeated.

The eldest grandson finally realized the feeling that the blind man Chen was crazy in his heart when he faced him.

The eldest grandson walked out of the town with his lunch box in his arms, and the voice of the iron tower came from behind him.

"You haven't struck iron for a few days, and tomorrow you won't strike iron."

"If you want me to help you go to the top pot, and I want me to strike iron for you tomorrow!" The eldest grandson was unconvinced in his heart, and his fist clenched directly, but in the end he let go weakly.

When faced with an opponent that you can't defeat mentally and physically, you can only choose to accept it silently.

The resolute face of the tower under the starry sky exudes the light of invincible justice.
