Chapter 9: Flying Locust Stone! The way to fill your belly!
In the past, Qin Kun would occasionally take some meat from the slaughterhouse to replenish his body, he had no problem taking a little, and the steward of the slaughterhouse turned a blind eye to this, but if he took too much, the steward would never turn a blind eye to it, and it was not a feasible way.
"It's better to ...... Go to Daze Mountain outside the county to see, Daze Mountain has deep forests, there are many birds and beasts, I can go to Daze Mountain to hunt to meet my daily food. ”
Qin Kun made a decision in his heart.
Daze Mountain, near Changqing County, supports a lot of hunters, Qin Kun occasionally visits the market, and can see hunters with hunted prey in the market.
He was fully capable of hunting in the mountains, self-reliant, and filling his stomach.
Of course, it is easy to say, but there are also many difficulties.
Qin Kun is the slave of the Liu family, and he is not allowed to leave Changqing County without authorization, if he escapes without permission, the Liu family can go to the official to report to the official, so that the government wants him and arrests him.
Therefore, Qin Kun must first apply to the Liu family and get permission before he can leave Changqing County.
In addition, if you want to hunt, it is undoubtedly very stupid to hunt wild beasts in the mountains empty-handed, Qin Kun needs a hunting skill, and he needs to make certain preparations!
"Let's talk to Steward Zhang tomorrow...... Hopefully he'll agree. ”
Qin Kun secretly said that if Steward Zhang didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to leave Changqing County easily.
With his thoughts in mind, the next morning, Qin Kun came to work in the slaughterhouse early.
And Steward Zhang also came to patrol the slaughterhouse as usual.
"Uncle Zhang, I have something I want to tell you."
Qin Kun hurriedly said to Steward Zhang.
Qin Kun can do the work of several people by himself in the slaughterhouse, he works hard, he is also low-key and honest, he never causes trouble, he is very loved by Steward Zhang, and his relationship with Steward Zhang is not bad.
Steward Zhang smiled: "Let's talk about something directly." ”
"That's right...... I recently met an old hunter who wanted me to be his apprentice and let me go hunting with him in the mountains, so ...... When I was resting, I wanted to go into Daze Mountain with him to have a look and learn some techniques. ”
Qin Kun opened his mouth, he spoke half-truths and half-truths, saying that he wanted to worship an old hunter as a teacher and enter the Daze Mountains to hunt.
As soon as these words came out, Steward Zhang's brows suddenly furrowed, and the smile on his face disappeared.
Qin Kun is a slave of the Liu family who signed a deed of sale, if he suffers an accident outside, it is equivalent to damaging the property of the Liu family, after all, the Liu family spent ten taels of silver when buying Qin Kun!
"Uncle Zhang...... Please accept this small gift, make it convenient, and I will honor Uncle Zhang in the future. Seeing Steward Zhang's expression, Qin Kun immediately took out a money bag from his arms and offered it with both hands.
This is the money that Qin Kun has saved in the past few years, some of which are the rewards of the Liu family during the New Year's holidays, and some of which are the rewards that Qin Kun gets for helping his neighbors kill pigs, sheep, and cattle on weekdays.
Qin Kun was frugal with this money, and saved about five coins of silver.
Steward Zhang hurriedly looked around, and when he saw that there were only two people in the slaughterhouse, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a blaming face: "Ah Kun, put this money away, are you trying to harm me?" Don't make it hard for me! ”
"The kid doesn't dare." Qin Kun had to obediently put away the money bag, and he also knew that his request was indeed embarrassing for Steward Zhang.
Steward Zhang himself has been on an errand in Liu's Mansion for many years, and he can get this position of steward, he is a smart person, he knows that he has received Qin Kun's money, and that is to give people a handle, and if he doesn't do it, he will cause big trouble! Therefore, he didn't dare to accept Qin Kun's money at all!
Seeing Qin Kun's disappointment that he couldn't hide, Steward Zhang sighed.
A few years ago, Qin Kun sold himself into the Liu family in order to bury his parents who died of illness, and he did his best to work on weekdays, without cheating and cheating, and Steward Zhang also regarded him as a junior.
Steward Zhang could also see that Qin Kun was working so actively, not just one day at a time, which showed that he was full of hope for the future and was not willing to be just a house slave.
Now I want to apprentice to a hunter and go into the mountains to hunt, obviously I want to learn a skill, and those who have the ability can survive better, and even live better than others!
And even if there is a chance, you can redeem yourself in the future! Restore your freedom!
"I don't care what you do when you're resting......"
Qin Kun thought that Steward Zhang was afraid of trouble and would not agree to him going out when he was resting, but what Qin Kun didn't expect was that Steward Zhang was relieved, which made Qin Kun surprised and happy.
Looking at Qin Kun's surprised expression, Steward Zhang warned: "But you have to say that you have to come to work in the slaughterhouse on time as before, if there is an accident on the way...... Then don't even think about leaving Changqing County easily in the future. ”
"Yes...... Thank you, Uncle Zhang! ”
Qin Kun thanked him again and again.
Steward Zhang sighed secretly, he himself was also from the bottom, he had been a slave in the Liu family since he was a child, he had pity for Qin Kun who had the same experience, regarded him as a junior, and was unwilling to completely wipe out his hope, so he chose to take some risks and agreed to Qin Kun's request.
"Uncle Zhang...... After I finish my work in the slaughterhouse, can I leave early? I want to find time to practice martial arts......"
Qin Kun then struck while the iron was hot.
In fact, the work of many domestic slaves in the Liu Mansion is relatively leisurely, and working in the slaughterhouse, with Qin Kun's efficiency, he can actually complete the day's work early, but he has to wait until the afternoon, when Steward Zhang can not leave after the roll call, which wastes a lot of his time.
"You kid really have to make inches!" Steward Zhang scolded with a smile, and said angrily, "Okay, you just need to complete the work on time and in quantity, and then come to me to confirm." ”
"Yes, I will finish the work on time and in quantity, and I won't trouble you, Uncle Zhang!"
Qin Kun naturally agreed to this.
At the same time, Qin Kun was also a little grateful to Steward Zhang in his heart, Steward Zhang promised him to go out during the break, which actually took a lot of risks, in case he had an accident outside, Steward Zhang needed to be responsible!
In this Liu Mansion, there are cruel and ruthless people like Sun Changhe and Liu Xin who don't take others seriously, and there are also simple, kind and good people like Steward Zhang, Qin Kun secretly remembered this kindness in his heart.
"So...... Keep up the work! ”
Steward Zhang agreed to Qin Kun's request and left the slaughterhouse, while Qin Kun restrained his mood and concentrated on the work at hand, dealing with the poultry sent from the slaughterhouse.
"Snort!"
Qin Kun's skillful movements, perfect 'slaughtering' skills, coupled with his extraordinary physical strength, his efficiency is completely like a machine, and the slaughtering work that others need a day or two to complete, he can complete it in one morning!
At noon, Qin Kun confirmed the work at hand with Steward Zhang, and then went to the 'Guozhai Hall' where Liu's people dined, and after eating a lunch that was not rich and did not have much oil and water, he left Liu's Mansion and returned home.
"The best way to hunt is, of course, archery, but I can't get a bow and arrow, so I have to settle for the next best thing."
Qin Kun looked at the stones contained in the wooden basin in front of him.
The stones range in size, from as large as a goose egg to slightly larger than the tip of your thumb, and are the stones that can be picked up anywhere along the river.
Archery requires a bow and arrow, and a good archery player must be practiced for at least a few years.
And Qin Kun was ready to use these stones to hunt, with his far beyond ordinary physique, the lethality of the stones thrown was quite huge! As long as you are on the right track, it is not difficult to kill the beast!
In the film and television works and romance novels that Qin Kun watched in his previous life, some people also used the stones that can be seen everywhere as hidden weapons, calling them 'flying locust stones'!
The advantage is that these stones can be found everywhere and can be carried around, which can make enemies unguardable!
