The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1882

[Chapter 1882 Qi Xuan Fanwai (40)]

The hunting party is divided into three teams, and they go out every ten days. But this is only temporary. When the weather gets colder, the three teams will go out together.

Under the propaganda of Nika and others, the arrow in Niti’s hand was proclaimed as a weapon of magic. So Nigu led the team to hunt and wanted to borrow his bow and arrow.

Nitti did not borrow the bow and arrow to Nico, the reason is very simple, Nico is not familiar with this bow and arrow. Can’t use weapons skillfully, no matter how good the bow and arrow are. Furthermore, he didn’t think that this set of bows and arrows was so powerful.

After listening to his explanation, Nico felt that what Nitty said made sense, and immediately dismissed the idea. He didn’t tell anyone about this.

But Nisan didn’t borrow a bow and arrow, so he told the villagers that Nitty was stingy and kept secrets when he got good things.

As a result, the words reached Niti’s ears, and he went straight to Nissan’s house and beat him hard. But after the fight, he told the Nissan family that he would go hunting instead of Nissan.

The people in the Nissan family didn’t say anything more.

In a blink of an eye, it was October, and it was time for the villagers to go out to the market. However, this time is different from the past, because we have to buy a lot of salt, so this time it is also divided into three batches.

Qi Xuan followed him to the town, met Su Qi and told him to pawn the gold necklace for paper, brushes and paints.

After listening, Su Qi looked at him and said, “There is paper for sale in the town, but there are no brushes and paints like you said.”

Qi Xuan was dumbfounded. I don’t even think about it, in such a poor place, who can’t even read books, who would learn to paint.

Su Qi said: “Even if there are these things in the county, they will be very expensive. You can’t buy so many things with a few taels of silver.” Although he has never seen brushes and paints, they are not sold in the town. , think the price is definitely not low.

The brushes that Qixuan often use are carved from the finest ivory by the best craftsmen, and are worth several hundred taels of silver. On weekdays, he also treasures this brush very much. And the brushes used on weekdays are enough for the daily consumption of ordinary people for several months. For only two or three taels of silver, brushes can’t be bought. Pigments and rice paper, let alone.

After hesitating for a long time, Qi Xuan finally gave up buying paintbrushes, but bought sixteen catties of cotton and other necessities. In addition, I bought 20 catties of salt more than expected.

It has reached the peak of hunting, and all the meat that cannot be eaten must be marinated. And this is also the reason why the village has to come to the town three times to purchase.

This time, Qi Xuan also picked up more than 120 pounds of things to go back. Fortunately, after this period of training, I can keep up with everyone’s pace.

When he got home, Qi Xuan was so tired that he didn’t want to move at all, so he fell on the bed.

When he woke up, Aunt Dou had already prepared the meal and was waiting for him to eat.

The dishes this time are very rich, including stir-fried beans, stir-fried potato, braised pork, and an egg and vegetable soup.

Qi Xuan asked, “Where did the eggs come from, did the village chief give them?”

Aunt Dou nodded and said, “Sister Yijia gave me two eggs.” It’s cold now, and she’s going to wait for the next spring to hold a nest of chickens to raise.

Qi Xuan nodded and said nothing.

After dinner, Concubine Dou asked, “Didn’t you say you want to buy paintbrushes and paints for painting? Why didn’t I just pack my things and didn’t see them?”

Qi Xuan said sullenly: “There is none in the town, so I have to go to the county seat. Su Qi said that these things are very expensive, and he can’t even buy a paintbrush for three taels of silver.” The longer he stayed in Ajia Village, the more deeply he realized How extravagant he used to be.

Aunt Dou said, “If we don’t have a paintbrush, we can make it ourselves. If we don’t have paper, we can paint on the ground. If we don’t have paint, we go to the mountain to pick flowers and squeeze the juice to dye them.”

Qi Xuan laughed and said nothing. A layman would say such childish words. What is drawn on the ground is at most an outline. But in this painting, how can you just look at an outline. But he didn’t tell Aunt Dou about this. Interlaced like mountains, not to mention Aunt Dou, who doesn’t even know a word.

“I want to sell paintings for money, how to sell them on the ground.” This statement is a bit of a euphemism.

Concubine Dou took a look and said with a smile: “We don’t have to worry about food and clothing now, and it doesn’t matter if we can’t sell money.” In fact, before, she didn’t understand a lot of Qi Xuan’s words. And this is the difference.

Now that I am busy with my livelihood every day and have no time to rest, I naturally don’t think about other things. When there is nothing to do in winter, let him stay in the nest and do nothing, how can he stay.

Qi Xuan sighed and said, “Let’s take one step at a time!” There is really no way to do it. In winter, if he really paints on the ground, he is just practicing basic skills.

After a few days of rest, Qi Xuan followed Nig and Nitty up the mountain to hunt again. After walking for two days, I only saw small animals such as deer, robes, pheasants and hares, but not a single wild boar.

The next morning, no prey was seen. Seeing that everyone was tired, Nig said, “Sit down and rest.” This time, he was afraid that he would return without success.

Just as everyone was eating the dry food, they suddenly heard a roar. When Nika heard it, he shouted excitedly: “It’s the big worm. Big brother, it’s the roar of the big worm.” If they can hunt the big worm, then they can have a prosperous year.

Nig’s face changed greatly: “You shut up.” Such a loud cry might attract the big bug.

Nika didn’t dare to speak anymore.

As a novice, Qi Xuan can only stand by and listen, and has no right to speak yet.

Nig and Nitty walked slowly towards the place where the tiger roared, while the others waited in place.

After walking for a while, the two climbed a big tree and saw a colorful tiger beside a puddle.

The two returned soon and told everyone what they had discovered: “Niti and I are going to hunt this big worm.” Others will basically have no objection to what the two decided.

When he knew that everyone had decided to capture this big worm, Qi Xuan worriedly said to Niti: “Tigers eat people. If you want to capture it, it will cost your life if you are not careful.”

Nity said, “Do you know how much silver can be sold for a big worm? A tiger’s skin and bones can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver. What our villagers sell in a year doesn’t add up to that much silver.”

Qi Xuan’s lips twitched, but he didn’t say a word. In order to live better, sometimes you need to use your life to blog.

Everyone discussed a plan to hunt big bugs, and Qi Xuan listened quietly beside him.

To lure a tiger into a trap, there must be a bait. With Nitty as the archer and Nig as the leader, neither of them can act as the bait. Others, no one took the initiative to take this risk. The final decision is to draw lots.

In the end, everyone decided to cast lots.

Seeing that Qixuan was among them, Nitty frowned and looked at Nigge. But in the end, he didn’t speak.

Fourteen small wooden sticks, whoever grabs the shortest will serve as the bait. When Qi Xuan reached out to grab the little wooden stick, his heart almost jumped out.

As a result, Qi Xuan was really holding the shortest wooden stick. It means that he is going to introduce the big worm into the trap.

Seeing that the others were not the shortest sticks they had drawn, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Qi Xuan didn’t want to go either, but if he refused to go, not only the people in Ajia Village would look down on him, but also his parents and brothers and sisters would be disappointed.

Nitti glanced at Nig again, then said to Qi Xuan, “Be careful.”

Qi Xuan showed a smile that was uglier than crying: “I will.”

Seeing that gorgeous tiger from a distance, Qi Xuan’s hands trembled. But at this point, he wasn’t thinking about retreating. While quietly approaching the tiger, he cheered himself up: “The big sister was able to get out of the bandit’s den single-handedly, but it’s just a tiger, it’s no big deal.”

If Qi Xuan knew that this was all jujube bragging, he didn’t know how he should feel.

After giving himself enough breath, Qi Xuan carefully searched for a favorable position. After standing up, he pulled up his crossbow and shot at the resting tiger.

It has to be said that Qi Xuan has played for a long time this time. Even if it was farther away, this time it was still shot, and it was shot in the tiger’s butt. Also because it was far away, even if it was shot, it only scratched the skin.

As the old saying goes, a tiger’s butt cannot be touched, not even touched, let alone shot.

When Qi Xuan saw the tiger galloping towards him, he ran quickly. But with two legs, how can you run on four legs.

Qi Xuan felt that the tiger was approaching him. It was raining when the house leaked, one of them tripped over a tree root without paying attention, and Qi Xuan fell into the thorns.

Qi Xuan was lying on the ground and turned his head, and happened to see the tiger pounce on him. My life was over, and then I rolled my eyes and passed out.

It was also because he passed out that Qi Xuan didn’t see the tiger go over his head.

After running a few steps, the tiger stopped and looked around with a puzzled look in his eyes. At this moment, Gu Jiu slammed a stone on the tiger’s back.

The strength was not large, and it only scratched the skin, but once again angered the king of the jungle.

After a long time, Qi Xuan woke up. When I opened my eyes, I saw thorns all around.

Raising his hand, the thorns ripped through his clothes, leaving a red scar on his body.

At this time, he couldn’t care about the pain, Qi Xuan grabbed the big knife and split all the thorns on his head.

Just thinking about it, I didn’t expect a sharp pain in my left leg. Then, the whole person fell to the ground.

Qi Xuan looked down and saw that his left leg was bloody. His trousers were also soaked with blood.

He wanted to get up, but fell to the ground before he got up. There was a flash of panic in Qi Xuan’s heart, and he shouted loudly, “Niti, Nig…”

The voice echoed in the forest for a long time, but unfortunately no one responded to him.

Qi Xuan waited for a long time without a figure, and then said to himself: “Didn’t they say they would never give up a teammate? Why haven’t they come to me for so long?” He was only three or four minutes away from the place where the trap was set. ‘s journey. As long as you have the heart, you can definitely find him.

This remark really wronged Niti and others. After capturing the big bug, Niti brought a few people over to look for Qixuan, but unfortunately they searched all over the site and couldn’t find anyone. And because several people were injured when they rounded up the big bug, Nika was seriously injured. Therefore, Niti had no choice but to return to the village with the big bug and all the team members.
