Chapter 8: The Return of the Hunting Party
Time is like water, and three days have passed in a blink of an eye.
These days are the happiest days for Shi Yu's family, Shi Yu has not only become healthy and intelligent, but also began to practice martial arts, and every day he can catch some hares or pheasants to come back and add food to supplement the family.
At this time, Shi Yu is no longer a burden to the family, but a new pillar, and the future will definitely get better and better.
After a few days of cultivation, Shi Yu was also very satisfied, his strength broke through a thousand catties, the various skills and changes of the Tiger Fist were completely understood, the moves were easily grasped, and his strength increased steadily, and now Shi Yu had the confidence to enter the mountain to fight the tiger and capture the wolf.
Today, Shi Yu and Xin'er came back from herding cattle outside, and along the way, they obviously felt that the atmosphere in the village was a little different, and the little children who originally liked to play on the bluestone road were gone, and the villagers they saw on the road were also smiling, but they were in a hurry, especially in the direction of the village chief's house, and all kinds of shouts could be heard from afar.
"It should be that the hunting party in the village has returned, and it seems that the harvest is still very good. Xin'er guessed, but her tone was very affirmative.
Basically, the hunting party in the village goes into the mountains at least once a month, and every time they return with a full load, the villagers go to the village chief's house to watch the excitement and then get some meat to take home.
It's just that it's good to have a full load two or three times a year, most of the time it's just enough to share, and a family has a pound of meat.
There are also times when nothing is hunted, but a villager is injured or even killed, and the villagers see sadness instead of a smile.
has grown up in Xiaoshi Village for more than ten years, and Xin'er is no stranger to this.
Shi Yu nodded, agreeing with Xin'er's words, when the two walked to the door of the house, they happened to meet their father who was about to go out, and the expression on his face was probably going to the village chief's house.
Sure enough, Dad took the initiative to speak: "The hunting team in the village has come back, I heard that I have hunted a big flower (tiger) and a big wild boar, and more than a dozen strong men have carried them back, I will go and see, do you want to come with me?"
"Go ahead, Dad, I'll pack up these two rabbits. Shi Yu smiled and shook the two big fat rabbits in his hand.
If Shi Yu doesn't go, Xin'er will naturally not go, so he shook his head.
Daddy came back after dark, and brought two pieces of meat that added up to more than a dozen catties, with an excited expression on his face.
As soon as he entered the house, his father couldn't help but speak: "Good girl, this time the hunt is really a big guy, the big flower and the wild boar each weigh at least five or six hundred pounds, the wild boar's fangs on the side of the mouth are more than a foot long, and the tail of the big flower is about the same thickness as my arm." The most rare thing is that there is no wound on the skin of the big flower, which is worth a lot of money, at least a thousand taels of silver, which is worth the harvest of previous years. This time I made a big profit, a big harvest, I haven't encountered it for many years. ”
Five or six hundred pounds of big tigers and wild boars are indeed rare harvests, but as my father said, the most rare thing is that there are no wounds on the tiger's skin.
You must know that the tiger itself is good at hunting, its movements are fast, its attacks are fierce and fierce, it is difficult to hunt in the first place, and it is difficult for even experienced old hunters to do it without hurting its fur.
But the most valuable thing on the tiger can be said to be the skin, many nobles in the city like it, and are willing to spend a lot of money to buy a tiger skin in good condition, and the price will be greatly reduced if there is a little wound.
In addition to the tiger skin is the tiger bone, the tiger bone is the best auxiliary material for the martial artist to refine the bone, and with the tiger bone to assist the martial artist to refine the bone, the cultivation speed can be at least doubled.
Compared with the intact tiger skin worth thousands of taels of silver, and the tiger bones that are of great use to warriors, those hundreds of catties of tiger meat are the most worthless things.
Dad took a sip of water and continued: "I heard that this time there can be such a big harvest, and it is a great achievement. Although Da Zhuang has just completed the pulse, because of his natural divine power, his arm strength is thousands of catties, and he can open three loads of horns and big bows, the wild boar is almost done by Da Zhuang alone, and the reason why the tiger skin can be intact is also because Da Zhuang's arrow shot into the tiger's anus and penetrated the entire internal organs, and then it was taken down by the hunting team. This Da Zhuang is really amazing, he is so powerful at a young age, and in a few years, it is estimated that he will be able to make a name for himself in the county town, tsk. “
Dad sighed at the end, unabashedly admiring Da Zhuang. And Da Zhuang is indeed extraordinary, it seems that he was born to be favored by everyone in Xiaoshi Village, he is born with divine power, his cultivation talent is amazing, and his performance in other aspects is also very dazzling. At the age of sixteen, he became the main force of the hunting team, and his performance was eye-catching, comparable to other old hunters in the village, and it may not be long before he became the first master and the first hunter in Xiaoshi Village.
Little Rock Village has not had such a brilliant character for at least 100 years.
"Da Zhuang is outstanding, but Brother Shi Yu is not bad at all. Seeing that his father had been exaggerating his strength, Xin'er pursed his mouth and said displeasedly.
In Xin'er's heart, only Brother Shi Yu is the best, but Shi Yu's performance was too bad before, and Xin'er didn't have the courage to say it, but now she can say it boldly with confidence.
Shi Yu smiled and did not speak.
Although he has a bad relationship with Da Zhuang, it cannot be denied that Da Zhuang is still very good. Not only is he born with divine power, he has a fast cultivation speed, but he can also open a three-dan bow, and his archery skills are amazing.
Needless to say, the tiger's alertness is needless to say, if you want not to be detected by it in advance, you have to hide at least two hundred meters away, and you can shoot the tiger's anus at such a distance, and its archery skills can be imagined.
For cultivators, strength is only the foundation, and the key is to see the ability to control strength, and it is obvious that Da Zhuang has performed well in this regard. However, if you want to say that Da Zhuang is outstanding, it depends on who he compares with, in the ten miles and eight villages near Daqingshan, and even the entire Qingshan Town, Da Zhuang is extremely outstanding, and few people can compare with him. But if it is placed in the entire Qingyang County, or a wider place, it will gradually disappear from everyone, unless there is a special opportunity.
To be honest, since his memory was restored, Shi Yu has never thought of comparing with Da Zhuang, and the two are not of the same magnitude at all.
Xin'er's words made my father react, and now there is a cultivator in his own family, and I heard that he is performing well, and his progress is gratifying. Although Dad didn't think that Shi Yu could be compared with Da Zhuang, he still had to say words of encouragement.
"Yu'er, cultivate hard, and this family will depend on you in the future. Da Zhuang also cultivates step by step, don't be in a hurry, take your time, sooner or later one day you will also have Da Zhuang's current strength, work hard. Dad patted Shi Yu on the shoulder and encouraged.
"Yes, Dad. Shi Yu nodded and responded with a smile.
At this time, the mother walked in with a pot of fragrant rabbit meat.
"Okay, stop talking, clean up the table, it's time to eat. “
......
Today can be said to be the most beautiful and proud day from childhood to adulthood, returning with two major prey, in the village is a family boast, those who used to play together are full of envy, many aunts dragged his arm to tell him about his daughter-in-law, and those little children who originally saw him and avoided the expressions of adoration on their faces, all of which made Da Zhuang extremely useful.
It's a pity that Xin'er didn't come over today and didn't see his most beautiful scene. But it doesn't matter, there will be many opportunities like this in the future, with me being strong, the hunting team will definitely be able to return with a full load every time in the future, and Xin'er will see my most glorious side sooner or later.
As for Shi Yu, he is just a stupid boy who can't pick his shoulders, can't lift his hands, can't practice martial arts and hunting, and is a bit stupid and stunned.
Sooner or later, Xin'er will understand that it is still me Shi Dazhuang who is the best, the most suitable person for her.
Da Zhuang was very happy all night, with a happy face, until after dinner, his grandfather called him into the inner room alone and told him a thunderbolt from the blue.
Shi Yu's stupid boy was lucky enough to get a spirit fruit, and after eating it, he not only became smart and clever, but also able to practice martial arts, and even directly completed the pulse with the help of the spirit fruit, which ......
Da Zhuang was directly stunned, just now he was thinking that Shi Yu's stupid boy was weak and couldn't cultivate, and he was stupid and stupid, and he was no threat to himself, and Xin'er would throw himself into his arms sooner or later.
As a result, in a blink of an eye, the kid suddenly stepped on the shit luck, picked up a spirit fruit and ate it, and then it was all right. Not only did he become smart and clever, but he was able to cultivate, but what was even more fucking was that he had directly completed the Tongmai.
What is this? I have been cultivating since I was five years old, getting up early every day, greedy for darkness, and cultivating hard for more than ten years, so that I have just completed the Tongmai, and as a result, Shi Yu's stupid boy simply ate a spirit fruit and then caught up with him?
This......
Is this what the hell is playing with me Shi Dazhuang?
Da Zhuang's heart was depressed, and he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and shout, to ask the thief.
It's just that seeing his grandfather's slightly excited and unusually ruddy face, Da Zhuangsheng resisted this impulse and is still at home.
The village chief turned around and took out a parchment scroll from under the bed, handed it to Da Zhuang very solemnly and said: "This is the secret scroll of martial arts "Tiger Decision" that your third uncle and ancestor got when he traveled before, it is much stronger than the "Mangniu Jin" you are cultivating now, and if you cultivate it in the future, you will be able to get out of Qingshan Town in the future." ”
"Tiger Decision?" Da Zhuang took the parchment scroll, opened it and took a cursory look, nodded with some joy and said: "It is indeed a good set of martial arts, I will practice it well." ”
"Well, that's good. The village chief nodded, and then said: "Now Shi Yu is also cultivating this volume of "Tiger Decision", and you will ...... in the future."
"What?" Da Zhuang interrupted with a shriek, "Grandpa, you said that Shi Yu, that stupid boy is also cultivating this Tiger Decision?"
"yes. The village chief nodded a little stunned and said, "Grandpa knows that you like Xin'er's little Y-head, and Xin'er likes to be with that stone boy, but this ......"
"Grandpa, don't say it, I won't cultivate what Shi Yu's stupid boy cultivates, don't say it anymore, I'll give it back to you." Da Zhuang rolled the sheepskin in his hand into his grandfather's hand, and then turned around and ran out.
It was night, and the howling sound on the Daqing Mountain continued, like a ghost crying, like a wolf howling......
