I was a hunter in ancient times

Zhou Du glanced at the little wolf cub strangely.

It was found that there were no wounds on its body, and those blood streaks naturally did not belong to it.

On the other hand, the goat I caught had several scratches on its abdomen. Although the blood on the wound had solidified, it was not difficult to see who did the evil.

Zhou Du looked slightly annoyed at the little wolf cub.

Facing Zhou Du's anger, the little wolf cub stepped back unnaturally on his hind legs, stretched out his head and half folded his ears, looked pitifully at Zhou Du, and uttered an extremely imposing voice: "Ooooh .”

Zhou Du looked away, stopped looking at it, and led the goat down the mountain.

Seeing that Zhou Du ignored it, the little wolf cub didn't understand what he had done wrong. He licked the paws that were still stained with sheep's blood, and followed Zhou Du's pace listlessly.

Along the way, it kept turning around Zhou Du's feet, and Zhou Du almost stepped on it several times.

In the end, maybe he was really worried about trampling this little thing to death, so Zhou Du kicked it lightly with his toe: "Go aside."

The little wolf cub couldn't understand what Zhou Du was saying, but it understood that Zhou Du's kicking it was an expression of affection, so it immediately became excited again, and its steps became much more cheerful.

On the contrary, the goat in Zhou Du's hands was extremely unhappy, and from time to time wanted to kick the wolf cub with its goat's hoof, and occasionally the wolf cub walked in front of it, and it wanted to hit it with its horns.If it hadn't been for Zhou Du's grip on the straw rope around his neck, strangling it so hard that it couldn't breathe, it would have had a wolf-sheep battle with the little wolf cub.

It took a lot of effort to lead this restless sheep down the mountain. If he hadn't remembered that Shen Xi said that goat blood is a good medicine, Zhou Du would have thought of killing the sheep.

According to visual estimates, the goat weighed no more than [-] kilograms, and it was easier to go down the mountain dead than alive.

·

At the foot of the mountain, a carriage galloped past the entrance of Taoyuan Village and went straight to the end of Taoyuan Village.

As soon as Shen Xi got home, he took off the bandage in his hand, washed off the ointment, and started preparing lunch.

Many villagers in Taoyuan Village have two meals a day, and occasionally three meals a day, but his family has three meals a day.

Just because his creed in life is, no matter how hard it is, you can't go hungry.

While lunch was being made in the house, there was a sound of horseshoes outside the house.

Taoyuan Village has always been remote, and there are not many people in the village who even have ox carts, let alone horse-drawn carts.

The sound of horseshoes directly alarmed the entire Taoyuan Village, everyone went out to see what was new, not knowing what kind of important person came to the village, or to see what big events happened in the village.

Everyone followed the carriage to the end of the village, and saw that it was the Shen family again.

Not only the villagers were stunned, but even Shen Xi was stunned.He didn't know any family with a carriage. Could it be that he came to find his little uncle?

Shen Xi shifted his gaze to Shen Mu, and Shen Mu was also looking at him blankly, his uncle and nephew couldn't help but smile.

The guests are coming, there is no reason to shut them out, after Shen Xi realized it, he hurriedly went forward to open the fence gate.

I saw an old man in his sixties getting off the bullock cart. He was full of energy and had a ruddy face. He didn't look like a farmer at first glance.

When the old man saw Shen Xi, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Is your name Shen Xi?"

Shen Xi didn't know who the old man was, but he answered honestly: "That's right."

The old man nodded, and reported his family name: "I am Zhao Rong, the steward of Yuan Zhao's family in Anyang Town. I came to look for you for my master's birthday banquet."

After he explained this, Shen Xi suddenly realized. He said that he didn't know a big man who had a horse in his family, and he almost thought...

Shen Xi didn't know what he thought of, and there was a faint chill in his eyes, just for a moment, so fast that even Zhao Rong in front of him hadn't seen it, his face was covered with a bright smile: "So it's Steward Zhao, Please come in please come in."

Zhou Du led the goat to the foot of the mountain, and suddenly remembered that a certain rich family in the town needed a goat to celebrate their birthday, and the price was quite high.

It's just that he didn't take this matter to heart that day, and the information was blurred.Thinking that Shen Xi also knew about this, he led the sheep and walked to Shen's house in Taoyuan Village without hesitation.

The wolf cubs who had already walked this way in the early morning knew that Zhou Du was going to find Shenxi, the whole wolf seemed more excited, and was still leading the way, so they could stop fighting with their food goat.

In the past, when Zhou Du passed by Taoyuan Village, there would be more or less villagers looking at him, but today it is different, it is a bit too quiet, as if no one is in every house.

When he arrived at the gate of Shen's house, Zhou Du was taken aback when he saw the people surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

The villagers of Taoyuan Village were sizing up the carriage at this time, not to mention Taoyuan Village, there were not even many horses in the entire Anyang Town, some old people and children who had never been out of Taoyuan Village, and even creatures like horses They have never seen it before, and they will see it suddenly, and none of them hide the curious look on their faces.

This side was looking at the horse, and Zhou Du led the goat to the other side.

No one noticed him at first, until the goat he was leading gave a restless cry, and the crowd turned their attention to him in an instant.

"Xiaosheng, did you hunt this goat?"

There is still a big difference between goats and domestic sheep, and the villagers will not be able to tell the difference. In addition, Zhou Du has hunted wild boars before, so it is not difficult to guess the origin of the sheep in Zhou Du's hand.

Zhou Du nodded expressionlessly at the questioner.

Someone in the crowd took a deep breath: "That's terrible."

A sheep, a live sheep, can be sold for a tael.

Then I contacted Zhou Du who had just hunted a wild boar not long ago. A wild boar weighing more than 200 catties must be worth two or three bucks.

It didn't take long for them to watch Zhou Du earn four or five dollars.

Four or five pennies are enough for their family to eat for several years.

Sure enough, people are more angry than others.

Their ancestors have lived in Taoyuan Village for generations, and they also live at the foot of Mount Fen. If others rely on the mountain to earn money, they rely on the mountain to dig the soil.

Zhou Du didn't care what the villagers thought. He glanced at the carriage lightly, then led the sheep away from the crowd, and waited by the side.

Not long after, Shen Xi sent an old man out with a smile on his face.

After waiting for such a long time, Zhou Du also learned from the voices of discussion that came to his ears from time to time that this is a big family in the town who came to invite Shenxi to have a banquet.

Zhou Du's gaze paused for a moment on Shen Xi's smile, and then moved away.

On the contrary, when the wolf cub saw Shen Xi, he howled in a low voice, but unfortunately there were too many people around, which directly drowned out its voice, and it was so angry that it threw its claws at the goat next to it and got angry.

Zhao Rong asked Shen Xi to settle the matter, and he didn't want to stay in Taoyuan Village for a long time, he was about to go back to the city when he got on the carriage, but as soon as he got on the carriage, the corner of his eye swept to a certain place in the crowd.

The person who stepped into the carriage paused, then slowly got out of the carriage and headed towards a certain place behind the crowd.

Zhou Du was paying attention to the battle between the wolf cub and the goat, but he didn't notice the people who were getting closer.

"Young man, is this sheep yours?"

Zhou Du raised his head when he heard the words, and said, "Yes."

Zhao Rong didn't care about Zhou Du's indifferent attitude, he focused all his attention on the sheep, walked around the sheep, nodded in satisfaction, and asked Zhou Du with a smile: "Young man, do you sell this sheep?" ?”

Zhou Du looked at him, but didn't answer immediately.

Seeing Zhou Du's hesitation, Zhao Rong said slowly: "It's like this, my master is going to hold a birthday banquet, and the children and grandchildren want to find a goat as a birthday present to make my master happy, and the reward..."

Before Zhao Rong finished speaking, Shen Xi who was standing next to him interrupted him directly: "Housekeeper Zhao, there is no such thing as standing up to talk about business. If you don't mind, I will lend you my yard."

In the time of two sentences, many people were already surrounding them, talking loudly.Zhao Rong also felt that Shen Xi's words were reasonable, and said to Zhou Du: "Young man, can I buy you a cup of tea?"

This time Zhou Du did not refuse, and led the sheep into Shen's yard.

Shen Xi made another pot of tea and served them with them.

Zhao Rong picked up the tea, blew on it, took a sip, and continued: "Young man, you won't be in vain if you are old. The masters of the family attach great importance to this birthday banquet, and they set the goat as the highlight, and the reward alone has reached ten." Two, live sheep plus ten taels, you see..."

Zhou Du took the tea from Shen Xi's hand, put it on the table, did not drink it, listened patiently to Zhao Rong's rambling, and interrupted him neatly: "I'll sell it to you."

Seeing that his words were interrupted, Zhao Rong was not angry, and said with a smile: "You are straightforward, and the old man is not shy."

After all, he took 25 taels and said to Zhou Du: "The more you pay for the mutton and the few hares."

There is also the good thing of giving more money, Zhou Du will naturally not refuse.

Zhou Du took the money, Zhao Rong took the sheep, and was about to go out of the courtyard. He didn't know what he thought of, so he returned and said to Zhou Du: "Young man, I think you are good at hunting. It's just a few days later. Our house is holding a birthday banquet, and you can help hunt some pheasants and hares, so that the guests can try something new."

Zhou Du never refused the money sent to his door, he nodded and agreed.

Zhao Rongyi led the sheep and the hare, and left in his carriage.

The villagers watching the excitement outside the yard also dispersed. Although they were still talking about today's events in small groups, they didn't cause much trouble after all.

Only the little wolf cub looked at the sheep going further and further away, pawing listlessly by the door, and the whole wolf looked hopeless.

"Thank you." As soon as he left, Zhou Du took the initiative to thank Shen Xi.

Just the head of wild boar and sheep can arouse the villagers' discussion. If they know that the sheep has been sold for 25 taels.That Zhou Du will not only become the center of the gossip, but also directly stand on the cusp of the storm.Shen Xi's words helped him solve many unnecessary troubles.

"You're welcome." Shen Xi poured himself a cup of tea, smiled and looked at Zhou Du: "Let's discuss something with you."

Zhou Du looked at his smile meaningfully, and subconsciously refused, "No money."

Shen Xi was choked by Zhou Du's words, his face flushed red: "Whoever wants to lend you money, doesn't it just earn more than twenty taels of silver, who cares? I will go to Zhao's mansion in a few days, and I will have ten taels of hard-working money. Even though it’s not as much as you, it’s still a lot.”

"Oh," Zhou Du raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

Shen Xi was so pissed off by Zhou Du's attitude, he raised his head and said angrily, "It's a good thing to invite you to dinner!"
