Qixuan Episode (Forty)

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! The hunting team is divided into three teams and goes out once every ten days. But this is only temporary, when the weather turns cold, the three teams will go out together.

Under the publicity of Nika and others, the arrow in Nitti's hand was promoted as a magic weapon. So Nigu led the team to hunt and wanted to borrow his bow and arrow.

Nitti did not lend Nigu a bow and arrow, the reason is very simple, Nigu is not familiar with this bow and arrow. If you can't use weapons skillfully, even if the bow and arrow are good, you can't use them. Furthermore, he didn't think this set of bows and arrows was very powerful.

After hearing his explanation, Nigu felt that what Niti said was reasonable, so he immediately dismissed the idea. He didn't tell outsiders about this.

But when Nisang came to borrow bows and arrows and failed, he told the villagers that Nitti was stingy and would keep good things for himself if he got them.

As a result, this word reached Nitti's ears, and he went straight to Nissan's house and beat him up. But after the hunt, he told Nissan's family that he would go hunting instead of Nissan.

The people in Nissan's family didn't say anything more.

In a blink of an eye, it was October, and it was the day when the villagers went out to go to the market. But this time is different from the past, because a large amount of salt needs to be purchased, so this time it is also divided into three batches.

Qixuan followed to the town, met Su Qi and told him that he would 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 paintbrushes and paints like you mentioned."

Qi Xuan was dumbfounded. I don't even think about it, in such a poor place, where people 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. I'm afraid 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 about the price is definitely not low.

The paintbrush that Qixuan often uses is carved from the finest ivory by the best craftsmen, and is worth several hundred taels of silver. He usually cherishes this paintbrush very much. And the brushes used on weekdays are enough for the daily expenses of ordinary people for several months. Just these two or three taels of silver, I can't afford a paintbrush. Don't even think about paint and rice paper.

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

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

This time, Qixuan also picked up more than 120 catties of things to go back. Fortunately, after this period of exercise, 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.

This time the dishes are very rich, including stir-fried beans, stir-fried potatoes, braised pork, and an egg wild vegetable soup.

Qixuan asked, "Where did the eggs come from, did they come from the village chief's house?"

Aunt Dou nodded and said, "Sister-in-law Yijia gave me two eggs." Now that the weather is cold, she is planning to raise a brood of chickens in the spring of next year.

Qi Xuan nodded, but did not speak.

After dinner, Aunt Dou asked: "Didn't you say you want to buy brushes and paints to paint? Why didn't I see you when I just packed my things?"

Qixuan said wearily: "There is none in the town, so we have to go to the county seat. Su Qi said that these things are very expensive, and you can't even afford a paintbrush for three taels of silver." The longer I stayed in Ajia Village, the more deeply I realized How extravagant he lived before.

Aunt Dou said: "If we don't have a paintbrush, we can do 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 make juice for dyeing."

Qi Xuan laughed and said nothing. Only a layman can say such naive words. What is drawn on the ground is at most an outline. But this painting, how can I just look at an outline. But these, he did not tell Aunt Dou. Lines are separated like mountains, not to mention Aunt Dou who doesn't even know the words.

"I want to sell my paintings for money, how can I sell them on the ground." This statement is quite euphemistic.

Aunt Dou paused, then smiled and said: "We don't have to worry about food and clothing now, it doesn't matter if we can't sell for money." In fact, she didn't understand a lot of Qixuan's words before. And this is the gap.

Now **** is busy making a living and has no time to rest, so naturally she doesn'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 there.

Qixuan sighed and said: "Let's take a step and see!" There is no other way, and if you really draw on the ground in winter, it is considered as practicing basic skills.

After resting for a few days, Qixuan followed Nige and Niti up the mountain to hunt again. After walking for two days, I only saw small animals such as roe deer and pheasants and hares, not even a wild boar.

On the morning of the second day, no prey was seen. Seeing that everyone was tired, Nige said, "Sit down and rest." This time, he was afraid that he would return in vain.

Just as everyone was eating dry food, they suddenly heard a roar. Nika exclaimed excitedly: "It's a big bug. Brother, it's the roar of a big bug." If they can hunt the big bug, they will have a prosperous year.

Nige's face changed drastically: "Shut up." Such a loud cry might attract the big bug.

Nika dared not speak any more.

As a novice, Qixuan can only stand aside and listen, and has no right to speak yet.

Nigga and Nitti 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 then saw a colorful tiger next to a water hole.

The two came back soon and told everyone what they had discovered: "Niti and I are going to hunt this big worm." Basically, other people would have no objection to what the two decided.

Knowing that everyone decided to capture the tiger, Qixuan worriedly said to Niti: "Tigers are people-eating people. If you want to catch it, you will pay the price of your life if you are not careful."

Nitti said: "Do you know how much silver a big worm can sell for? A tiger skin and bone can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver. All the things sold by the whole village in a year don't add up to that much silver."

Qi Xuan's lips twitched, but he didn't say a word. In order to survive better, sometimes it is necessary to gamble with one's life.

Everyone discussed a plan for hunting big bugs, and Qixuan listened quietly beside them.

To lure a tiger into a trap, you must have a bait. Niti is the archer and Nigg is the team leader, neither of them can act as the bait. No one else took the initiative to take this risk. The final decision is decided by drawing lots.

In the end, everyone decided to draw lots.

Seeing that Qixuan was among them, Niti frowned and looked at Nige. But in the end, he didn't speak.

Fourteen small sticks, whoever holds the shortest will serve as the bait. When Qixuan reached out to grab the small wooden stick, his heart almost jumped out.

In the end, it was really Qixuan who was holding the shortest stick. It was equivalent to saying that he was going to lead the big bug into the trap.

The others breathed a sigh of relief seeing that it wasn't the shortest stick they had drawn.

In fact, Qixuan didn't want to go either, but if he said no, not only the people in Ajia Village would look down on him, even his parents and brothers and sisters would be disappointed if they knew about it.

Nitti glanced at Nige again, and then said to Qixuan, "Be careful."

Qixuan showed a smile uglier than crying: "I will."

Seeing that beautiful tiger from a distance, Qi Xuan's hands trembled. But at this point, he didn't even think about shrinking back. As he approached the tiger quietly, he cheered himself up: "My eldest sister was able to get out of the bandit's den single-handedly, but she was just a tiger, so it's no big deal."

If Qixuan knew that this was all bragging, he didn't know how he would feel.

After pumping himself up, Qixuan carefully found a favorable location. After standing firmly, he pulled the crossbow fully and shot towards the resting tiger.

I have to say that Qixuan played super long again this time. Even though it was farther away, it was still shot this time, and it still hit the tiger's ass. Also because it is far away, even if it hits, it only scratches the skin.

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

Seeing the tiger galloping towards him, Qixuan ran quickly. But two legs, where can run better than four legs.

Qixuan could feel the tiger approaching him. It happened to be raining when the room leaked, one accidentally tripped over a tree root, and Qi Xuan fell into the thorn bushes.

Qi Xuan lay on the ground and turned his head, just in time to see the tiger rushing towards him. My life was over, and then I rolled my eyes and passed out.

It was also because of fainting that Qixuan didn't see the tiger pass 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 hit a stone on the tiger's back.

The strength was not great, 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 me.

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

Not caring about the pain at this time, Qi Xuan picked up the big knife and split all the thorns on his head.

Just when I thought 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 his left leg was bloody. The trousers were also soaked red with blood.

He wanted to get up, but before he could stand up, he fell to the ground again. A flash of panic flashed through Qi Xuan's heart, and he shouted loudly: "Niti, Nige..."

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

Qixuan waited for a long time but did not find a figure, and immediately said to himself: "Didn't they say they would never give up on a teammate? Why didn't they come to me after so long?" He was only three or four minutes away from the place where the trap was set the distance. As long as you have the heart, you will definitely be able to find him.

These words really wronged Niti and others. After capturing the tiger, Niti brought several people to look for Qixuan, but unfortunately, he searched all over the site but found no one. And because of rounding up the big bug, several people were injured, among them Nika was seriously injured. Therefore, Niti had no choice but to take Da Chong and all the team members back to the village.
