Liaoning.

The weather is getting cooler day by day.

In the mountains and forests.

At first, the hunter's single coat became bloated.

His hands were also covered with fingerless gloves.

A scarf made of woolen thread tied the neck tightly, not showing a trace of flesh.

Breath.

Concentrate.

An arrow was fired, and under the tree, a pheasant foraging for food was shot through the chest and abdomen.

Li Ming walked out quickly from behind the tree, with a bright smile on his face, and pulled out the arrow from the pheasant's chest and abdomen and stuffed it back into the quiver.

"What's the matter, Brother Jia, do I have a little bit of style with you!"

Picking up the pheasant, Li Ming seemed to ask the other tree.

Huo Quzhi leaned out of there, nodded, and a look of relief flashed on his face.

"Not bad."

"Haha, it's all taught by Brother Jia!"

Hanging the pheasant on the prey hook with the characteristics of the rucksack, Li Ming laughed.

The two have been working together for four or five months, and now that they have a tacit understanding, Huo Qubing has also handed over all his archery skills to Li Ming.

The corners of Huo Quzhi's mouth also hooked up a smile, and beckoned: "Let's go, the notice from above has arrived, the mountain will be closed in half a month, and we should also go down the mountain." ”

"Well, September is over, it should snow in late October, and there will be nothing to do in the next three or four months, Brother A has figured out what odd jobs to do, bring me with you."

After packing up the hunter's tools, Li Ming followed Huo Qu's illness and walked down the mountain.

When they passed the hunter's hut, the two of them refilled the firewood shed and the water tank as usual.

"I haven't figured out what to do yet, Xiaoguang is just about to have winter vacation, so let's stay at home and tutor him with his homework first."

Huo Quzhi closed the wooden door of the hunter's hut and spoke.

"That's right."

Li Ming scratched his head and swallowed what he wanted to say for a while.

For this little brother who has been with him for almost half a year, Huo Quzhi is still familiar, and when he looks at this, he knows that he has something to say, so he said angrily.

"If you have something to say, what's the matter, promised someone else?"

"That's not true, I thought Brother A couldn't be idle, so I asked my brother to find a friend to arrange a job for the next few months, if Brother A has an arrangement, forget it."

Li Ming was a little embarrassed, but Huo Quzhi felt warm in his heart.

He knew what his little brother wanted, he was indeed a little short of money in the past six months, and the prey and mountain goods in the hunting quota were taken to the bottom of the mountain to sell.

Li Ming also knew his family's current situation and wanted to help himself.

"What's the matter, if I make money, I can go."

Feeding a handful of soybeans to his horse, Huo Quzhi looked at Li Ming and asked.

"Oh oh oh, isn't this the recent large-scale recruitment of new recruits for the sea fishing fleet of the Maritime Affairs Division, I just thought that a trip to the sea would be exactly two or three months, and the salary was still a lot, so I asked my brother, he had a comrade-in-arms who went to the Maritime Division to be a captain after leaving the army, and they were all close people."

"Well, I'll go back and think about it, and I'll talk about it then."

"Done."

Li Ming nodded.

After feeding the horses, the two hung the prey they had hunted in the past few days on the horse's back, all of which were pheasants and hares, not much meat, but the fur and feathers were worth some money.

This is one of the benefits of the mountain hunters, since the last time the two of them reported the news of the invasion of the northern wolf pack, their salary has been increased by ten percent compared to the beginning, seventy-seven yuan a month, plus hunting, and bounty, the monthly income is one hundred and thirty-four, which is also a good errand in Liaodi.

The few times Huo went home before he got sick, there were matchmakers who came to visit him, but he was pushed away because he was busy with official business.

Now he is the only one in the Huo family who can make money, Xiaoguang wants to study, and his mother and housekeeper are both old, so he can't think about his own affairs.

Fortunately, Xiaoguang is also competitive, and after only one semester of enrollment, he got a scholarship, and he doesn't have to spend a penny of his family to study.

"Let's go Amin, let's go to the mountain patrol department first."

"Okay."

The things in the hunter's hut were all in place, firewood, water, and some dry food that could last for a long time.

These are the habits of hunters who patrol the mountains.

Sometimes if someone gets lost in the mountains, these huts are a place where a life can be saved.

After going down the mountain, the two rode horses for more than four hours before returning to Liaoning City.

I went to the mountain patrol department, and put the bow, hunter's dagger, quiver, and mountain patrol post into the warehouse.

"Shift shift, can it be regarded as returning to the city, brother, drunken flower shop?"

"Walk up, a glass of wine on this cold day, the body is comfortable and tight."

"Let's go together, I heard that the drunken flower shop has a new script, and the storyteller is very good, what is it called. What's going on? ”

"Hey, if you go, you will know, Xiao Ming will not go, and this one."

There are a lot of hunters patrolling the mountains who came back to hand over the shift, and in the arsenal, some hunters are shouting, which is very lively.

Huo Quzhi and the two were also among them, but they didn't talk much, one was new to Liaodi and couldn't interject, and the other was a little bit old, but he was only a dozen years old.

"Huo Jia."

Huo Quzhi replied to the man who was looking at him.

Then he waved his hand again: "The old mother at home is still waiting, so I won't go." ”

Li Ming also replied: "My brother, you also know, you know that I went to drink, you can't beat me to death?" No, no, no. ”

"Come on, brothers, let's go."

"Let's go."

After a while, the noisy storeroom fell silent.

After Huo Quzhi and Li Ming returned the equipment and horses of the Patrol Section, they also left the Patrol Branch and walked on the streets of Fang City.

For four or five months, Huo Quai's monthly salary of 134 yuan, in addition to the family's expenses, he also saved more than 100 a month.

He went to the money bank and withdrew twenty white dragons, and there were fourteen or fifteen deposits left in his account.

This is the family foundation he has saved in the past six months, a total of thirty-five white dragons, more than five hundred Qi coins, equivalent to thousands of Han coins.

The mountain hunter is a beautiful difference, although it is also full of dangers, and wild beasts are rampant in the mountains and forests, but in the end it is still much safer than fighting on the battlefield.

Ah Liang got him such an errand, and Huo Quzhi also remembered that he would buy a bottle of good wine later, and he still had to move around when he was sophisticated.

"Amin, do you have something to do later? Have you anything to do with me? ”

"Okay, Brother Jia, it's not that you don't know, my brother is in the army, and I'm the only one at home, and I'm lonely when I go back."

Li Ming nodded in agreement.

"Well, at this time, the garrison captain is also off work, you can go with me to meet an old friend."

"Okay."

"Little Light!"

Outside the Mengxue School, Su Yue shook his arm and greeted Huo Guang, who came out of the school gate with a schoolbag on his back.

Seeing Su Yue, Huo Guang also showed a bright smile on his face, and ran over briskly.

"Sister Su."

"Haha, it's all so high, in two years, Xiaoguang, you're about to catch up with your brother."

Su Yue compared the height of the two, when she first arrived in Liaodi, Huo Guang only reached her chest and abdomen, and now that it has only been half a year, Huo Guang's height has reached her shoulders, you know, she herself is also growing her body.

"Hehe, the food in the school is good."

Huo Guang remembered his nickname in the academy, and laughed a little embarrassedly.

"Let's go, I asked my sister, today also happens to be the day of the shift of the mountain patrol department, and your brother is probably back too."

"Really? Great, Sister Su, let's go. ”

Hearing the news of his brother, the smile on Huo Guang's face was even worse, he hadn't seen his brother for half a year, either he was busy with his brother, or his brother was busy, he went to school, and the time was just so staggered.
