Chapter 3: Hunting

At this time, Suzhou's agriculture has developed very well, there is a reputation of "Su Changshu, the world's foot", and the mulberry cicada industry is also developing very well, but it is impossible to plant rice even on the hillside, at this time there is no fertilizer, the hillside soil is poor, the crops can not grow, at most it is to plant a little highlight these. Therefore, the hills are basically undeveloped, and there are many wild animals far away from the population, which is a paradise for wolves, insects, tigers and leopards. Think about the heroes who fought tigers after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and you know how many wild animals there were in the wild mountains and forests at this time.

"Uncle Zhang, are there any wolves in the place you went to this time?" Li Shucheng followed behind Zhang San and asked as he walked.

"Wolves? Uncle Zhang replied. Li Shucheng was going to hunt with him, how could the people in the village take him to a dangerous place, they had been to the place several times before, and they had not encountered leopards and wolves.

"No, I don't. Li Shucheng said disappointedly. He came with him to fight with the beasts and accumulate combat experience, but when he heard that there were no wolves, he was very disappointed.

"The master has commanded, how can we still take you to a dangerous place. Zhang San said, "Hunting, of course, it's safe to be safe, but it is very dangerous to encounter fierce beasts such as tigers, leopards, and wolves." ”

"Oh, actually, it's okay, I've been practicing martial arts all these years. Li Shucheng said, "Ordinary beasts can't hurt me." "After practicing martial arts for so many years, Li Shucheng still has this confidence.

"Who said there is only one wolf. Zhang San said, "Except for those lone wolves who failed to compete for the head wolf and were driven out of the wolf pack, the wolves are generally in groups, and they are not afraid of death, which is very dangerous." ”

"Are the two wolves you killed last year among the wolves?" asked Li Shucheng. Last summer, the third uncle and they went into the mountains to hunt and brought back two wolves, Li Shucheng remembered them very clearly.

"Of course. Zhang San sighed, "Don't look at a group of wolves with only a dozen heads, the attack is very powerful, and there are several of us in a group." "That time I met the wolves, a group of them shot arrows and slashed with knives, but the wolves rushed over without fear of death, but fortunately a group of people had good force, killed two heads, and a few more went up to scare the wolves away. However, under the fierce attack of the wolves, several people were also scratched.

When they came to the place, everyone first observed before scattering to search for prey. Li Shucheng also followed Zhang San to see how he did it and learn from experience.

Soon Uncle Zhang found a rabbit and got it with one arrow. Uncle Zhang is an old hunter, with rich experience, and his archery accuracy is not bad.

Soon there was a harvest one by one, either a rabbit or a pheasant, look at the sun before noon, everyone had a good harvest, Li Shucheng also harvested a pheasant and a hare. Hare and pheasants reproduce quickly, so of course there are the most prey of these two types, and there are many wild boars, and there are not many others.

"Look for it a little longer, and we'll go back at noon. Uncle Zhang greeted everyone.

"Well, I've gained a lot today. Yang Daniu replied, "I can cut some grass and feed the pigs when I go back." "Cattle and horses, not every family can have them, the village is full of tenants, and they all plant the land of Li Shucheng's family, there is not much land in the first place, and there is no need for every family to raise cattle and horses. However, feeding pigs is different, and most of the pigs used to be driven to the hillside, like herding cattle. However, as Li Shucheng took the children to net some stinky fish and rotten shrimp, dried them and ground them into flour to feed the pigs, the family no longer let the pigs go. After that, Li Shucheng took the children to find a way to breed earthworms, and it was very cost-effective to feed the pigs. Mixed with pigweed, the pig was locked in the pen and did not exercise, and it grew fat.

It is said that Li Shucheng saw that the pigs in the village were very thin, and thought that it was the reason for not castration, but after understanding, he knew that the method of cutting pigs had long been spread, and the pigs were thin not because of this, but because of the poor diet of pigs. As soon as you close it up and eat well, of course it's different.

"Da Niu, are your pigs about to get out of the groove?" asked Liu Lao Er enviously. Although he also fed two, Yang Daniu's family fed five. He wanted to feed more, but there were not enough people to keep him busy.

"It's almost out of the groove. Yang Daniu replied happily.

"I heard that your mother has found a big girl for you, have you been to see it, when are you going to marry into the door?"

"Maybe after selling the pigs. Yang Daniu said with a red face.

"The days go by so fast, and the big cows are going to get married. Uncle Zhang sighed.

In this era, marriage is very early, especially women, and most of them are married in thirteen, four, five, and sixteen. After eighteen, she is an old girl, and she basically can't find a good family, and it is normal to even marry a lame dwarf with poliomorphism, unlike in martial arts novels, it is normal to not marry in her twenties.

The same is true for men, the rich generally marry early, and the older leftover men generally want to make a difference in the imperial examination or the poor people at the bottom.

"Hmm? There's movement. Li Shucheng suddenly heard a different voice, stood up and looked into the depths of the woods.

"What?" the group was startled, grabbed their bows and arrows, and walked to the open area on the side to form a circle, looking behind the trees.

"Here we are, on all sides, and we are surrounded. Li Shucheng listened carefully for a while and said.

Raise your bow and aim ahead. Fortunately, there were no trees on the edge of the place where they were resting, otherwise the children would not be able to defend themselves, and the bows and arrows would not be able to exert their power.

A wolf just emerged from behind the tree, and the arrow in Li Shucheng's hand had already shot out, hitting the left eye, but due to Li Shucheng's technique and angle, the arrow did not penetrate the eye, and it did not kill with one arrow.

However, the wolf's left eye was injured, and the severe pain caused it to howl miserably, which sounded very penetrating. Soon, with a wolf howl in the distance, one wolf after another jumped out from behind the tree, and since it was discovered in shock, there was no need to hide, and it directly began to attack.

Li Shucheng grabbed another arrow, but it hit the wolf's head, but it only slowed down the speed of the wolf's pounce, and did not shoot it to death.

"Copper-headed, iron-bone, tofu waist?" Li Shucheng suddenly remembered this sentence describing a wolf. He quickly threw his bow, drew his sword, and attacked it with a move.

Although it was the first time to use a sword against the enemy, and the other party was not a human, it was a wolf, but Li Shucheng was also small, just right, except for the sword cut on the head, the other swords were bloody, and soon the wolf in front of him slowed down and retreated.

The second wolf was much more cautious when attacking, and he would be tempting, but Li Shucheng still used a few tricks to see the empty sword through his throat.

Seeing that the wolves did not come forward to him, Li Shucheng turned his eyes to look at the others, the young one deserved to have studied martial arts, although it was only the simplest martial arts, now a woodcutter in his hand was also dancing vigorously, and the wolves did not dare to approach for a while.

Li Shucheng saw that he was bold, and jumped out of the crowd to attack a wolf. The sneak attack is good for this, Li Shucheng cut off the wolf's two hind legs with a sword, and then circled from the left side and attacked the next wolf.

Although the wolf was reminded of the miserable howl, it still couldn't open it more, Li Shucheng's sword passed through the ribs on the side of the stomach, pierced in half, and then flashed backwards, avoiding the attacking wolves.

"Light power is very useful at this time. Li Shucheng was overjoyed and thought.

However, in order to try the Quanzhen swordsmanship, Li Shucheng listened to it and rushed towards a few wolves. Quanzhen swordsmanship has both offense and defense, Li Shucheng unfolded it one by one, although he was a little in a hurry, he still blocked a few wolves, and as time went on, not only did he defend tightly, but he could also steal one or two moves in the air, so that a few wolves could not be guarded.

After Li Shucheng led away a few wolves, Uncle Zhang and the others only faced two wolves, although they didn't dare to disperse the pursuit, but the two wolves couldn't help them, one of them was even chopped on the stomach by the woodcutter thrown out by Yang Daniu, and it didn't work.

There was another wolf howl in the distance, and it seemed that the wolf king had found that he had suffered heavy casualties and was about to withdraw his troops. But how could Li Shucheng get his wish, during this time he had adapted to the key point of attacking the wolf, and he attacked with a thousand moves, solved the two wolves in an instant, and then continued with a move Su Yue Fenhui, the sword light was divided into two and stabbed at both ends, and the remaining one was so frightened that he turned around and fled, Li Shucheng made a hard move, his body was close in a flash, and he cut off the wolf's head with a sword.

The First World War left twelve wolves, this kind of southern forest wolf is not a large group of wolves on the grassland, generally a group of ten or twenty heads, this time there are twelve less, the life of the wolves is sad, and it is a problem to be able to feed a few wolf cubs.

"Young Master is amazing!" Yang Daniu sighed while stabbing the wolf to death with a knife. Just now, Li Shucheng was very powerful, and he solved the nine wolves in a few moments, and they finally killed three of them, which is simply incomparable.

"You also practice well, and you can be so powerful if you practice well. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "At that time, there will not be enough wolves nearby for you to kill, and you won't have to be afraid of encountering fierce beasts when hunting." ”

After cleaning up, Uncle Zhang said, "One helped the young master get some and went home." ”

Li Shucheng said: "Okay, I just need wolf skin, meat and firewood, and I'll give it to you." "Li Shucheng ate wolf meat last year, and he didn't like it very much.

"Young Master Xie. They are just tenants, although their lives have improved in the past two years, and they often hunt and can often eat meat, but they will not dislike wolf meat. Even if you don't eat it yourself, give it to your relatives.

"Young Master, what kind of swordsmanship did you use just now?" asked Yang Daniu on the way.

"It's a true swordsmanship. Li Shucheng said, "I learned it from an old man when I was a child. ”

"Can we learn?" Yang Daniu asked. Li Shucheng was really envious of the means of killing the Quartet just now, and he also wanted to learn it. If you can learn the swordsmanship that Li Shucheng just made, what kind of jackals, tigers and leopards are you afraid of?
