Volume 3 Chapter 10 Selling Tigers

Ah Qing went to drive the sheep into the pen, Qing's mother looked at Luo Changfeng with concern, and asked gently, "Changfeng, are you not hurt?"

Luo Changfeng shook his head and said, "No, the tiger was shot to death before it got close." ”

Qingmu said strangely: "You don't have a bow and arrows, what did you use to shoot the tiger?"

Luo Changfeng didn't hide it, he pulled out a flying knife from his waist, and with a wave of his hand, the flying knife was inserted into the wooden pillar supporting the grass shed, "Use this." ”

Qingmu's eyes lit up, she didn't see how Luo Changfeng made a move, she only heard a "du", and the flying knife was already on the wooden pillar two zhang away.

didn't expect him to have such a hand, so that their mother and daughter's future life would be guaranteed.

Qingmu walked to the wooden pillar, pulled out Luo Changfeng's flying knife, and looked at it curiously, but she couldn't see what material it was, only that the knife was very sharp.

The common people of this era have only seen bronze, such as the bronze axe they used to chop wood, and the bronze knife used to chop vegetables.

Qingmu returned the flying knife to Luo Changfeng, and Aqing closed the sheep and returned to the front yard, and said to Qingmu: "Mom, I'll go next door and ask Atubo to see who the tiger can sell to." ”

"Hmm!

"Changfeng, wait for me for a while!"

"Good. ”

Ah Qing happily ran to the courtyard next door, and after a while, several people followed Ah Qing to this side.

The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, followed by a middle-aged woman, a young man in his twenties, and a young woman in his twenties, and the young woman was holding a small child of three or four years old.

Well, this is the whole family out to see the tigers.

"Look, Atubo, this is the tiger that Changfeng beats. Ah Qing took Ah Tubo and a few people into his yard, pointed to the tiger on the ground and said crisply.

"Hey, that's a big tiger. Just like his name, Atub looked like an honest old farmer, and he was shocked to see the tiger.

He looked at the tall and sturdy Luo Changfeng and praised: "He is really a strong man." ”

Luo Changfeng hugged Ah Tu Bo, but he didn't say anything, for people he didn't know, he couldn't do the same as Ah Qing and Qing Mu.

Qingmu stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Brother Atu, you are well-informed, and I want to ask you for advice, where can this tiger be sold?"

Ah Tubo's son, Ah Tie, who was a head shorter than Luo Changfeng, squatted down, turned over the tiger, and said in surprise: "Huh, this tiger has no other scars on its body except for its eyes, how did this beat?"

Luo Changfeng explained: "It is a sharp object that pierces the tiger's eyes and penetrates into the brain. ”

"Oh, I see, wonderful! In this way, this tiger skin alone is worth a lot of money. Ah Tie stood up and said to Ah Tubo: "Father, Ah Zhong is a servant in Dr. Wen's mansion, we can ask him for a favor." ”

Ah Tu Bo bowed his head and said: "Very good, you can take Ah Qing and Changfeng with you!"

Seeing this, Qingmu hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Atu, Changfeng also beat a hare, you can eat at my house in a while!"

Ah Tubo also saw the fat hare next to the tiger's corpse, his throat moved, and he said happily: "In this way, then we are welcome, haha, your family A Qing has found such a strong man as Changfeng, this good day is coming!"

Luo Changfeng's face moved when he heard this, and he looked at Atubo with a lot of kind eyes, Qingmu smiled and said nothing, but just invited Atubo's family to come into the house and sit, and she went to clean up the hare and prepare dinner by herself.

Ah Qing stupidly didn't understand the meaning of Ah Tubo's words, just a strong smile, Luo Changfeng looked at her, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.

He grabbed the tiger's forelimbs, lifted it up and carried it on his shoulder, and said to Ah Tie: "I'm tired." ”

Ah Tie smiled: "You're welcome, we all watched Ah Qing grow up, just like our own sisters, why worry about helping a little favor, let's go!"

Ah Qing and Luo Changfeng were half a step behind Ah Tie, followed him, and headed north of the city.

"I still remember when I was a child, I was thirteen when I was thirteen, and Ah Qing was only five years old, she had to ride our buffalo, but the cow got angry, and turned around to arch Ah Qing with her horns, this girl laughed there by herself, but I was frightened. ”

"Giggle...... Later, your big black family can't arch me, and you can't get rid of me, so you won't arch me!"

"Haha, you may not believe it, when A-Qing was five years old, he tamed a big buffalo, hahahaha......"

Ah Tie told Luo Changfeng about Ah Qing's childhood, and Ah Qing also interjected from time to time, but Luo Changfeng just listened with a smile, occasionally glancing at Ah Qing with doting eyes, and couldn't imagine that this carefree magical girl was so naughty when she was a child.

Along the way, Ah Tie's hearty laughter and Ah Qing's delicate laughter were left, Luo Changfeng felt that he would never have enough of such a day.

......

The three of them turned a few blocks and walked for a cup of tea, but before they could reach their destination, the mansion of the doctor was stopped.

Of course, it's not some bloody bullying, people are carrying a tiger on their shoulders, maybe who is strong and who is weak!

What stopped Luo Changfeng and his party was the steward of a large family, which was equivalent to the role of a housekeeper in later generations.

This northern city was originally the settlement of the nobles of the Yue Kingdom, Luo Changfeng carried the tiger through the city, and he would be noticed by others, and if he was clever, he went back to the house to report the matter to the steward.

At this time, the three of Luo Changfeng were stopped by an old man in his forties and fifties with a beard on his lips, "This strong man, the big worm on your shoulder is for sale?"

As soon as Luo Changfeng and Ah Tie met, this was the buyer's door, so there was no need to ask for help, and it saved a lot of favors.

Luo Changfeng bowed his head and said, "Exactly, Your Excellency wants to buy it?"

The steward said, "Do you want to buy it, but you don't know what the strong man wants to price?"

Luo Changfeng didn't know the price, and he didn't even know what contemporary currency looked like, so he naturally couldn't shout the price, so he had to say: "Your Excellency can come up with geometry?"

The steward thought for a while, compared three fingers, and said, "How about I pay three hundred dollars?"

"This ......" Luo Changfeng looked at Ah Tie and Ah Qing hesitantly, Ah Qing naturally couldn't count on this aspect, Ah Tie was clear, it seemed that Luo Changfeng didn't know the value of this tiger, but he had roughly heard the hunters talk about it.

At that moment, he took half a step forward and smiled at the steward: "This lord, please see, there is not the slightest damage on the body of this big insect, but my brother pierced the eye of the big insect with a sharp object, and killed it through the brain, you can buy it and peel off a complete tiger skin." ”

"Three hundred is indeed a lot, but for this tiger skin, you have to add a little more, to be honest, we originally planned to go to Dr. Wen's mansion, but since we met adults on the way, my brother should not walk a little less, after all, this big insect is not light. ”

The word "adult" in the Spring and Autumn Period did not refer to officials in later generations, and strangers with higher status than themselves could be called adults.
