Chapter 9 Hunting
"Now, this matter is settled!"
The eldest lady sat in the high hall, her eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake, "Remember this whip, this is a lesson for you to commit crimes and disrespect your elders!"
"Hahaha! good!"
Yang Ji smiled angrily and glanced at a guard of the Martial Dao Realm not far away, who was slowly rolling up a bloody whip:
"Big lady, thank you for the generous gift, Yang Ji remembered this whip!"
Yang Ji didn't even look at the bloody wound on his back, so he let the blood flow down his back.
"Someday, I'll be back. β
Yang Ji said with hatred in his heart, and then turned around and left without looking back.
......
The eerie silence in the Hall of Discipline.
After Yang Ji left, the eldest lady stood up with both hands.
Her face was like ice that would not melt for thousands of years, revealing a sense of calmness.
"I want to take care of the whole noodles, but I also want to eat more, how can there be such a good thing in the world, - since I don't want to join in, don't take the original 'Yishou Dan'!"
The eldest lady coldly dropped this sentence and turned to leave, leaving only the three clan elders with iron faces behind her.
Lifting a curtain and entering the back of the Discipline Hall, the "Grand Lady" suddenly stopped as she passed a kneeling girl.
This young girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, was beautiful and beautiful, and she was half-kneeling on the ground at this time, holding chopsticks in one hand and a large bowl in the other, which was full of color and flavor of chili fried meat, and she was crying while eating.
She had already eaten very much at this time, and her stomach was slightly bulging, but she was still eating, and the tears in her eyes couldn't be stopped.
"This time it's just a small lesson for you, do your part well, and next time, it's not as simple as letting you eat the cat you grew up with. - I'm not always so kind!"
"Big Lady" said that she would take a step and leave.
"Wow!"
After the eldest lady left, the girl finally burst into tears, crying and vomiting incessantly.
This ** thing, which has grown up with her since she was a child and is regarded as a relative, is now only the residue of that place. Watching the foam spit out of her stomach in one mouthful, the girl's whole body was about to collapse
"Madam, I don't dare, I don't dare anymore......"
The girl howled loudly and hoarsely.
............
Coming out of the Discipline Hall, Yang Ji's heart was in a mess, although the sky was not very bright, but at this time, he felt extremely angry.
"Sixteen, sixteen...... I'm afraid that those outstanding children in the clan have the practice resources provided by the clan every day, and they don't dare to say that they will definitely be able to break through to the martial arts realm, not to mention that I only have six breaths. β
Yang Ji's heart was heavy, and he only felt that the future was bleak.
"Either way, I'm not going to let you get away with it. Maybe one day, I will leave the clan, but not in this way!"
Yang Ji clenched his fists and secretly vowed to break through to the Martial Dao Realm before the age of sixteen no matter what.
More than half a year, how short!
Yang Ji's only advantage now was that the strange "Star Iron" had changed his root bones, allowing him to stand on the same starting line with the other clan disciples again.
This is his only silver lining.
Leaving the Discipline Hall, Yang Ji saw the old butler in the crowd. As soon as the old man saw the bloody whip mark on Yang Ji's back, he immediately couldn't help but cry.
The old housekeeper felt ashamed of the deceased lord and lady in his heart, and he was so sad that he couldn't even speak.
"Uncle Liang, it's okay. It's just a small scar. This is a lesson, and one day, I will return it. β
Yang Ji comforted the old housekeeper, ignored those sneering eyes, and returned to his residence.
The whip is specially made with an inverted slash on it, and the torn skin will not heal at all for a short time. Yang Ji simply took some medicine, but the pain did not decrease at all.
This is the viciousness of the eldest lady!
"Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular. I wrote a couplet, but it didn't happen to me. Time is running out, and I have to find a way to raise money for the winter. β
Yang Ji smiled self-deprecatingly, moved his body, felt that the injury did not have much impact on his actions, gritted his teeth, and left with his bags.
Writing couplets was hard work, but it was the only thing he could do now. Yang Ji is going to sell a few more couplets like yesterday.
However, when Yang Ji walked into those stores like yesterday, an accident happened.
"I'm sorry, young man, but we've got enough. β
"I'm sorry, we don't need couplets in our store now. β
β...... You can look elsewhere. β
......
The answer is basically like this, he went to more than ten places in a row, and Yang Ji didn't even sell a couplet. It seems that overnight, all the shops began to turn Yang Ji away, and their attitudes were all cold. Even, some shops pΓΉ Yang Ji had just appeared at the gate, and the other party hurriedly waved his hand and said no.
"Shopkeeper, just say it. What the hell is going on?"
Yang Ji finally couldn't help but say loudly.
"Hehe, young man, I won't hide it from you. You are a disciple of the Yang clan. Yesterday, your eldest lady has already sent someone. If you forbid any of us to buy your couplet, we can't help it. β
In the end, the honest was the shopkeeper of a grain and oil store, with a helpless face.
"What?
Yang Ji Huo Ran changed color.
Although he had long felt that someone was targeting him, he only thought it was a competitor, but he didn't expect it to be the eldest lady, and her hand was so long.
The couplet he sold only yesterday, and this woman has ordered the whole market shop to ban the sale of his things.
"This woman is sincerely going to cut off all my life!"
Yang Ji was angry in his heart.
"Selling couplets" was a way he came up with to earn enough money in a short period of time. The eldest lady stuck his way, which was equivalent to choking his lifeline.
If you don't sell couplets, why can you survive this bone-wrenching winter?
"There is no endless road, I don't believe that a big living person can still be killed by a few copper coins!"
Yang Ji was indignant in his heart, but it also inspired the arrogance in his heart and the intransigence in his bones.
Yang Ji turned around and left, just crossed the threshold, and suddenly his eyes swept over something in front of the grain and oil store, and his heart moved, and he stopped.
"Shopkeeper, what's that?"
Yang Ji pointed to a snow-white fox skin in front of the grain and oil store.
The grain and oil store does not sell anything else, except for Yang Ji's calligraphy and painting couplets, which is the most special in this fox skin.
"Oh, that's what you said!"
The shopkeeper smiled, "This is a fox skin made by Orion in the mountains." Winter is coming, and the animals are beginning to change their fur. Whether it is a fox or a rabbit, it is snow-white, and the young ladies and young masters in the city like it very much, and they sell quite well. If you can hit it too, I'll take it too,...... Of course, you eldest lady can't let you know. β
The shopkeeper was talking, but it was mostly joking. Yang Ji, who is polite and polite and writes couplets with a pen, is difficult to get involved with those mountain hunters.
However, Yang Ji didn't think so, and when he heard the shopkeeper's words, his heart suddenly became lively.
"Hunting ......"
A lot of thoughts instantly turned in Yang Ji's mind, his eyes were bright, and he vaguely thought of something.
Hunting requires strength very much, whether it is to open a bow or release arrows, ordinary people shoot a few arrows to the arm tendons and veins numb, the whole body is weak, and you have to rest for a long time before you can shoot again.
But Yang Ji is different, after reaching the sixth stage of breathing, his strength and body have increased greatly, far exceeding ordinary people. Others may not be able to pull the bow, but Yang Ji will definitely be able to do it.
"Grain and oil stores usually don't sell anything else, unless there is a huge profit. I only earn a copper plate by selling a couplet, and a fox skin is probably seven or eight times as much, or even ten times as much. Moreover, although I have reached the sixth stage of breathing, my tendons are still loose, and practicing bow and archery can exercise the tendons and skin of the whole body, preparing for the practice of martial arts in the future. β
Yang Ji's eyes became brighter and brighter, and at this moment, he finally knew what he was going to do.
After selling couplets on the street to collect eight pennies, Yang Ji entered a bow shop. I chose an "ironwood bow" with a large cow tendon. This kind of bow is extremely tough and has an extremely long range, which is not something that ordinary people can pull.
Yang Ji is going to use it to rejuvenate the muscles and skins of his whole body, and in the process of shooting, he will enhance his strength.
Before leaving, he spent two more coppers to buy more than 20 arrows, and Yang Ji left the bow shop.
"Drive!"
When he walked to the street, there was a sudden thunderous shout, the wind was blowing, a fierce horse was flying with four hooves, and a young man on it was full of spirit, full of hunting clothes, and galloped in front of Yang Ji with a strong hunting dog behind him.
"It's a disciple of Winter Hunting!"
Yang Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he recognized it.
At this time of winter, the clans of all sizes in Pingchuan County will begin to enter their own exclusive hunting grounds and hunt competitively.
Although Yang Ji was a disciple of the Yang clan, he was never qualified to enter there.
"One day, I'll go in open. β
Yang Ji clenched his head, turned around and walked towards the reckless deep mountains in the other direction, in the big clan, it was called the "wild area".
......
The mountains are full of tall and dense trees, and the dense woods do not all fall away even in winter.
Yang Ji walked under the tree, there were dead branches and leaves everywhere, piled up in a thick layer, and it was filled with a smell of decay.
"Hunting requires a high level of accuracy. I hadn't shot an arrow before, so I needed to practice first. β
Yang Ji broke his hands apart, pulled the ironwood bow for a full moon, and carefully figured out the skills of archery.
With his eyes facing, Yang Ji aimed at a big tree in front of him.
"Buzz!"
The bowstring vibrated and hummed, and a long arrow swished out and flew over another large branch more than three paces away, disappearing without a trace.
"The accuracy is too poor, and it needs to be practiced. β
Yang Ji shook his head and walked over to pick up the arrow that missed the shot.
He didn't have many arrows on him, and every one of them was bought with money, and he had to make the most of it.
"Whoosh!"
Another arrow was fired, and this time the accuracy was better, but it was still much worse.
Arrow after arrow, Yang Ji kept shooting out the arrows repeatedly. These arrows are extremely draining, and every time they will be tired and their arms are sore, ordinary people may be tired of it for a long time, or at least a little irritable, but Yang Ji is not, his gaze is calm, and his wrist is always steady.
"Collapse!"
In the blink of an eye, half a barrel of arrows shot out, and Yang Ji's two arms were numb, and he couldn't even lift them.
"No, it's too much effort. I need to have some news, too. β
Yang Ji leaned against a chair and hugged a big tree, gasped, and sat down. His strength is already good, but he can't stand such frequent archery.
"Fortunately, I have a preliminary grasp of the power of the bow and arrow. The accuracy is also better. β
Yang Ji nodded, silently recovering his strength under the tree. It was also at this time that Yang Ji's ears suddenly trembled, and he heard a woman's ** sound from the wind.
The voice...... It looks like someone is hurt. β
Yang Ji was taken aback and immediately stood up. He had always thought that he was the only one here, and he was surprised when he heard the cry for help.
"This direction...... It's deep in the mountains. β
Yang Ji saw clearly the direction in which the voice came from, and his face changed slightly.
The depths of the mountains are full of dangers, and not everyone can just walk into them.
"Hey, I can't care so much, manly man, what's the point? β
Yang Ji gritted his teeth, but he couldn't care much, and hurriedly rushed in the direction where the voice came from.
There was no danger along the way, and in the depths of the mountains, Yang Ji finally found the source of the cry for help. I saw a girl in a yellow hunting suit lying on the ground in the grass, covered in blue and black, and fainted after only a while.
Not far from her, a venomous snake with a triangular head cut in two, motionless.
"It's snake venom!"
Yang Ji was taken aback, and at a glance he saw the girl's bare ankles and two deep poisonous snake tooth marks.
From her ankles upwards, her entire leg was black, and the poison gas was spreading throughout her body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's so toxic!"
Yang Ji's eyelids jumped, feeling a huge danger, if he didn't hurry up to rescue, this woman would definitely die.
"We must help her suck the poisonous blood out quickly. β
Yang Ji didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly leaned down, approached the girl's ankle, sucked it vigorously, sucked it and spit it out, the blood was all black, like ink.
After sucking more than thirty mouthfuls in a row, Yang Ji was sweating profusely, and when he saw that the blood he spit out had obviously faded, he took a breath a little.
At this time, the girl's face was a little better, but she was still unconscious.
