Chapter 13: The Hunters
"Dad, mother!" Teng Qingshan strode into his yard.
Teng Yongfan, his father in the hall, said with a smile: "Qingshan, I'm just waiting for you." In fact, three or four hours a day of gun training is enough. At this moment, Teng Yongfan, Yuan Lan and daughter Teng Qingyu were already sitting around the wooden table, and Teng Qingshan also put down the gun against the wall, and also sat down and began to eat.
"I know. Teng Qingshan just took two bites, then raised his head and said, "Dad, mother, I want to join the hunter team." ”
"Hunters?" Yuan Lan looked at her man Teng Yongfan with some hesitation.
Teng Yongfan frowned: "Qingshan, you are only nine years old, and you are going to join the hunter team?" The hunter team is a team composed of the most courageous group of men in the clan, led by Teng Yonglei, who often enters Dayan Mountain to slaughter prey, so that every family in Tengjiazhuang has meat to eat. And beast furs can also be sold for money.
"My strength should be in the top 10 in the village. Teng Qingshan said with a smile.
At the mention of this, Teng Yongfan couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
At the time of the nine-year-old annual festival, Teng Qingshan lifted six hundred catties of boulders, and obviously, that was not Teng Qingshan's limit. In terms of strength alone, Teng Qingshan can indeed rank in the top ten in Tengjiazhuang.
"Haha...... You have good talent, you really should sharpen and sharpen it!" Living in this cruel world, Teng Yongfan also looked at it openly, and said with a smile, "From tomorrow onwards, you will join the hunter team! I will go to talk to your grandfather in the afternoon, and when tomorrow morning, you will go directly to the martial arts training ground and join the hunter team in the clan!"
"Thank you, Dad!" Teng Qingshan was overjoyed.
Yuan Lan next to her couldn't help glaring at Teng Yongfan, as if she complained that Teng Yongfan promised her son.
"Brother, can you bring me a little hare?" Qingyu's big eyes without impurities stared at Teng Qingshan.
"No problem. Teng Qingshan said with a smile.
"Brother is the best for me. Qingyu grinned.
"Aoyama. Teng Yongfan suddenly said, "I see that you often carry a few flying knives, and you are in the woods in the west, and you often practice flying knives?"
"Just practice casually. Teng Qingshan smiled, his father was an ironsmith, and it was very simple to go to the blacksmith shop to get ten flying knives. In my previous life, I spent a lot of effort on flying knives, and now I just play with flying knives a little bit when I am resting from practicing guns to maintain my feel.
After all, throwing knives can be attacked from a distance, and they can be completely coordinated with their own spears.
"I'll just remind you that when you practice something, you have to concentrate. Teng Yongfan said casually.
The next morning, the genius was bright.
Sister Qingyu is still asleep, and Teng Yongfan, Yuan Lan, and Teng Qingshan's family of three are already in their own courtyard.
"Aoyama, although you have talent, your marksmanship is also good. But there are a lot of beasts and poisonous snakes on the Dayan Mountain, so you have to be careful. To really fight with fierce beasts, you must not have a trace of timidity. Teng Yongfan still solemnly asked, he knows very well that many people have good strength and marksmanship, but when they encounter life and death battles, they may be scared when they see blood, how can they fight?
If your legs are weak, you won't be able to exert your strength!
"Aoyama. Mother Yuan Lan also instructed, "Don't be reckless, be with other clansmen, come, and put on this animal skin coat." ”
He wears leather boots and a fur robe that has been peeled off from some thick-skinned beasts and processed. Wearing this animal skin robe is equivalent to wearing a simple small armor, which has a protective effect.
"Don't worry, Dad, Mother! I'll go first. ”
Teng Qingshan held a Qingnan spear and strode towards the outside of the courtyard.
......
On the martial arts training ground, because it is still very early, the genius is bright, and the morning exercise has not yet begun, and there are not many people in the martial arts training field. However, the members of the Hunters team have begun to gather one by one, and many people are laughing and talking loudly, all of them are bold and chic.
"Haha...... Our future No. 1 hero in Tengjiazhuang is here!" As soon as Teng Qingshan entered the martial arts training ground, he heard a voice in the distance, and couldn't help but smile and walked towards it.
"Qingshan!" Teng Yonglei strode over, laughed loudly, and patted Teng Qingshan on the shoulder, "Good boy, you joined the hunter team at the age of nine." In the history of my Tengjiazhuang, you are the first!"
"I only came in when I was thirteen, and Aoyama is really good. A sturdy young man who was more than seven feet tall and was also wearing an animal skin robe said with a smile.
"Cousin. Teng Qingshan greeted with a smile, that person was Teng Qinghu.
There were other clansmen who were training the martial arts training ground, and there was a hint of envy in the eyes of those clansmen who looked at the members of the hunter team. To be able to become a member of the Hunter Team, he is definitely a well-known man in the clan, and each of them has a strength that cannot be underestimated.
The Hunters team, including Teng Qingshan, who just joined today, have thirty-two people.
"Okay, everyone, let's go!"
Thirty-two hunters from Tengjiazhuang, one by one, armed with spears, longbows, and wearing animal skin robes, left Tengjiazhuang.
"Qingshan, after going up the mountain, you must not be left behind, many people will lose their way on the mountain for the first time. Moreover, there are some dangers that they do not understand. Your first time here, you have to see more and listen more!" Teng Yonglei pointed to Teng Qingshan all the way, and Teng Qingshan listened.
In fact, in the previous life, the skill of survival in the wild was something that killers had to learn.
It's just that the mountains and forests of this world are the same as the mountains and forests of the previous life, and Teng Qingshan is not sure, so he doesn't dare to be careless.
In the early morning, there was silence on Dayan Mountain, and a team of hunters was advancing towards the depths of the mountain.
"There are no fierce beasts on the periphery of this mountain, most of them are hares and pheasants, and the real beasts are in the deep mountains!" Teng Yonglei said all the way, and at the moment of speaking, a small hare in the thorn bush next to him seemed to be frightened by the crowd, and he was about to run away.
Teng Qingshan's eyes lit up, and the spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake stabbing at the hare.
"Peng!" The head of the gun stabbed the side of the hare, and then the head of the gun shook, bounced on the hare, and the hare rolled over, Teng Qingshan rushed forward, and grabbed the hare as soon as he stretched out his hand.
"Good marksmanship. Seeing this, many people around them all sighed in admiration.
It is difficult to catch the hare without hurting it.
"What are you doing with the work?" Teng Yonglei said with a smile.
"Uncle, my family Qingyu, let me bring a hare for her to play. Teng Qingshan said, and tied up the hare and put it directly into the package behind him.
The surrounding tribesmen couldn't help laughing, it was not yet to the depths of the mountain, the tribesmen were obviously very relaxed, along the way, they also killed two pheasants, and after nearly an hour, the hunter team finally entered the dangerous area, which was also the area with the most prey.
"All of them are jīng gods!" Teng Yonglei said in a low voice.
Around noon.
Deep in Dayan Mountain, a group of hunters in Tengjiazhuang are roasting a maned wolf near the water source.
"Today's luck is really good, and so far I have got two pheasants, a maned wolf, and a warthog. Teng Qinghu muttered in his mouth, and Teng Qingshan glanced at the maned wolf that had been skinned and roasted: "Sure enough, maybe because of the aura of heaven and earth, the fierce beasts in this mountain, even if they are of the same species, are bigger than the beasts of the world in the previous life." ”
In the previous life, a maned wolf was about fifty or sixty pounds, but this maned wolf was more than a hundred pounds.
Thirty-two people ate most of the meat of a maned wolf.
"Rest for a while and continue on your way. Teng Yonglei touched his nose, "Hmph, at least kill two or three more wild boars to get them back, it's almost the same." "There are more than 2,000 people in Tengjiazhuang, and the prey they get now is not enough at all, and a wild boar is a few hundred catties larger, and it is enough to get two or three of them.
Wild boars are large in size and have good meat quality, but they can be slaughtered.
After all, the wild boar in the mountains has no worse attack power than the tiger.
"Huh?" Teng Qingshan's ears moved, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look not far away, only to see a white shadow flash away.
"It's a ferret!" exclaimed from among the clansmen.
"Chase!" Teng Yonglei jumped up.
Thirty-two clansmen even threw the warthogs they had hunted before and scattered, chasing after the white shadow!
That's a ferret!
Generally, mink fur is worth a thousand taels of silver in the city, and a good ferret skin is worth at least three thousand taels of silver, and if you can kill this ferret, it is equivalent to killing a hundred wild boars. Encountering ferrets in the mountains is hard to come by. Thirty-two people scrambled after them.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" ......
As they ran, the clansmen threw arrows away, but the ferret was extremely nimble and easily dodged, watching the ferret get farther and farther away.
"Grab it. Teng Yonglei shouted eagerly.
"I can't catch up. Teng Qinghu's face was also full of anxiety, the ferret was too flexible.
At this moment, the only one who can barely keep up with the ferret is Teng Qingshan! Teng Qingshan is flexible like a spirit monkey at this time, jumping and shuttling at extreme speed, staring at the thorn bushes ahead. A ferret running from the grass. No matter where the ferret goes, Teng Qingshan can follow him to the death.
"At this time!" Teng Qingshan's eyes lit up, and he shook his right hand!
"Huh!" a cold light instantly streaked across the sky.
The rather agile ferret squeaked, and its speed increased again, but it was too late, and a flying knife was directly inserted into its hind legs.
"Well done. Teng Yonglei and others, who were chasing quickly not far away, cheered excitedly, you know, the entire Tengjiazhuang pays the annual money to the 'White Horse Gang', and it is only 1,000 taels of silver a year, and this ferret is worth at least three thousand taels of silver, that is, 30,000 hanging big money, that is, three million copper coins, each copper coin, you can buy a meat bun.
That's a windfall!
"Still want to escape?" Teng Qingshan took a leap and grabbed it with his right hand.
"Huh-" The ferret turned sharply and bit at once, its teeth as sharp as a saw, capable of breaking a sword.
Teng Qingshan's palm flipped over, easily dodging the bite, and his palm slapped directly on the ferret's head.
The ferret oozed blood from the corners of its mouth and fell weakly.
Pulling out the flying knife inserted in the ferret's leg, Teng Qingshan grabbed the ferret, straightened up, and couldn't help laughing.
"Haha...... Aoyama, well done. The rest of the tribe had already come, all staring at the beautiful ferret, and all of them had excited smiles on their faces.
