Chapter 4: Hunting
In the middle of the huge valley, two hunters walked together.
One was tall and burly, with a shaved head and a black beard, while the other was thin and white-faced.
The tall and burly hunter is called Wang Wenzhong, and the other is Zhang Haoyu.
The two are good friends, both love hunting, and they have become the best partners.
In the mountains, there are fierce beasts. The two hunted together, so naturally they had a little more care and a little more safety.
"Have you heard? There's been a strange thing that everyone has been talking about lately. Wang Wenzhong said with a smile.
"Oh? ”
Zhang Haoyu's wife has just given birth to a child and has not come to hunt for a few days, so she is very interested in these.
"That's a new hunter, and it's said that he doesn't have a bow or a steel fork, and he doesn't have a horse hound, and he's still very thin!"
"Then how does he hunt, go up and fight the beasts?" Zhang Haoyu was surprised.
"That's not it, it's said to be holding a huge wooden stick with a thick bowl mouth!"
"I'm rubbing, it's very thick! But how did he get close to the beasts, and the beasts were standing there, with their necks outstretched, waiting for him to fight?"
Wang Wenzhong laughed: "Haha, how do I know, I also heard about it!"
"Where the hell are you here to hunt, it's just funny! It's just a plate of beastly appetizers, crunchy!"
The strange words in these two mouths are none other than our protagonist He Ping.
It's not that He Ping doesn't want to buy bows, arrows, steel forks, horses, hounds, these don't need money, what he lacks most is money, the two hundred and thirty-six yuan and five jiao in his pocket are shabby enough on the earth, and they are even more worthless here, the copper coins and silver in circulation!
Zhang Haoyu and the two turned a hill and stopped talking.
The weeds here are half a man tall and the bushes are so lush that it is not a problem to hide an adult bison.
In the distance, a sika deer stood.
This sika deer is fat and strong, with more than 200 catties, and if it is caught, it will definitely be sold for a good price.
The two hid behind the bushes, crouched, and slowly moved forward
Sika deer are very alert, and every few bites of grass, they will raise their heads, chew slowly, and look around.
Both were veterans and experienced, and between the moves, there was not a single sound.
Until now, the sika deer were still grazing peacefully, not realizing that danger was coming.
Almost, Zhang Haoyu raised his right hand, his palm fell silently, and put the arrow on the string.
Wang Wenzhong had already understood and pulled the longbow full.
After a while, Zhang Haoyu was about to shoot the first arrow, and once the shot missed, Wang Wenzhong immediately made up the shot. Even if Zhang Haoyu hits accurately, Wang Wenzhong will shoot that arrow, but the shooting position is different.
As an experienced hunter, the first arrow will attack the chest of the prey, hitting the heart and lungs, both of which can be effective in killing.
The first arrow missed, and the second shot went to the heart.
If the first arrow hits accurately, the second arrow will hit the head, after all, a headshot is an instant kill.
The head target is small and constantly moving, so it is not easy to hit, so the hunter's preferred position is the chest.
When the arrow was ready to go, in the valley next to it, a noisy beast ran sound, and the five wolves fled in a hurry.
The two immediately stopped their actions.
The sika deer was frightened and ran away. There is a way that tigers are still afraid of wolves, and can chase five wolves to run wild, and there must be fierce beasts behind them, if one is fine, if there are many, they can only avoid their edge.
The footsteps sounded softly, and the two of them looked up, and a slightly thin figure, like lightning, chased out of the valley, holding a huge wooden stick.
The man was calm, his steps were light, he jumped slightly, drew a long arc, and at once he reached behind the last wolf, and shouted: "Eat me and beat the dog!"
With this loud scream, the wooden stick fell violently, and with a bang, it smashed on the wolf's head, and the wolf screamed and fell to the ground.
The remaining four wolves were terrified, and their speed was a little faster.
Killing a wolf, this person jumped up and was about to continue the chase, but suddenly stopped and looked at the grass where Zhang Haoyu was hiding.
"Who?"
Seeing that their whereabouts were exposed, Zhang Haoyu and Wang Wenzhong had no choice but to walk out.
Wang Wenzhong hugged his fists and said: "Little brother, good means!"
The person with a wooden stick in his hand is naturally He Ping.
He Ping didn't say hello, and frowned: "What is the intention of the two sneaky people who hide behind Artemisia grass?"
These two guys, hiding there, are clearly going to carry out an ambush. Could it be a robber? A robber who robbed his prey, He Ping had heard of it, but he had never seen it. If he encounters him, he doesn't mind catching him, teaching him a hard lesson, and making some ill-gotten gains.
Zhang Haoyu said: "Just now we saw a sika deer, and when we were about to do it, the deer was frightened away!"
From afar, He Ping saw the escaping sika deer, and believed the words of the two of them, and arched his hand: "It seems that I influenced the two of you to hunt, forgive me!"
He Ping put away the wolf corpse and Shi Shiran left.
Zhang Haoyu and the others were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped, isn't this the strange thing in their mouths? The seemingly easy leap of that guy just now turned out to be fifteen or sixteen meters, is this still a human?
This guy will be an appetizer for the beast, don't look at the joke!
~~~~~~~~~
In the afternoon, above the bazaar.
"Shopkeeper, how much do you charge for these?"
In the fur shop, a bloody gray wolf and a yellow sheep were placed on the counter.
"I'm rubbing, that stupid guy hit the shit again!"
Not far away, a hunter whispered.
"What do you say?"
A strong man with bronzed skin, knotted muscles, and nearly two meters, said with an urn voice.
"Yesterday was a wild boar!"
"it?!" the strong man was shocked.
"Be quiet, be careful to be heard! It's a wild boar of more than 200 pounds!"
"You are panting so much that you almost scared Lao Tzu to death!"
The strong man touched his chest to soothe the wounded heart, there is a way to be a pig, two bears and three tigers. When hunting, the last thing people want to face is not tigers, but wild boars.
Some people may wonder, isn't the tiger the king of beasts, and why is the wild boar the most difficult to deal with? Because the wild boar has rough skin and thick meat, it is difficult to kill, and it likes to work brutally, in other words, it is more stupid and dares to fight with hunters. The so-called horizontal ones are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of dying. Such a big boar comes up and fights with you, how can it be enough for you to drink a pot.
He Ping heard the conversation later, but he didn't care. If they are willing to say, let them go, anyway, there is nothing missing, why bother with these laymen!
"Eighty-five copper coins!"
The shopkeeper offered a slightly lower, but acceptable, price.
"Okay!"
He Ping didn't bargain, took the copper coin, and turned to leave.
For the sake of a few copper coins, He Ping didn't want to argue with others, and if he had that time, it was better to go home early and do some experiments.
Leaving the fur shop, he went to the grocery store.
"Little Er, is there any fire?"
The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic: "Does the guest officer want to cook meat?"
"A pound, how much?"
He Ping reported the number.
"How much?"
The shopkeeper thought he had heard it wrong, ordinary people buy a few dollars, at most one or two, this guy gets a pound at once, right?
"A pound. What's wrong?
"No problem, twenty copper coins. ”
"Don't worry about settling accounts, I want something else. Do you have any brimstone here?"
"Yes, yes, that's a little cheaper, ten copper coins a catty, how much does the guest officer want?"
The attitude of the shopkeeper was more polite.
"Let's have two catties!"
The shopkeeper weighed the materials and asked casually, "The guest officer knows how to make alchemy?"
Alchemy, He Ping's heart moved, and he said quietly: "Do you know alchemy?"
The shopkeeper's face froze, and he felt that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly apologized: "Don't blame the guest officer, the little one guesses blindly!"
"It's okay, just talk about alchemy. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "I heard that three hundred miles away in Pingshan Town, there is a Dihuang Dan worth four hundred silver coins. People desperately snapped up the money, and it is said that in the end, twenty gold coins were stolen. ”
He Ping nodded, I haven't heard of the Dihuang Pill, is it the elixir used by monks?
Seeing He Ping walk out of the store, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the beads of sweat from his sideburns.
When the man asked, although he did not lose his temper on the surface, his tongue was not knotted, but his legs and hands were trembling all the time.
When the man asked, "Do you know alchemy," he remembered a legend.
It is said that just because of one word, someone killed all the thugs in a casino. After the incident, neither the backstage of the casino, the Black Tiger Gang, nor the local government came forward, as if nothing had happened.
Some people say that they are immortals, these immortals, can not be reasoned with the usual, some people are generous, some people are moody, and some people are murderous.
Of course, He Ping is not alchemy, he wants to use the power of knowledge, but he has got another clue, this world can be alchemy.
