Tang Shirong will have a day off tomorrow. Tang Shiyue is in a good mood.
I came out early in the morning and walked a short distance into the mountains before I ran into Qi Jing again. She greeted him with a smile: "Little Qi Zi?"
He glanced at her coldly without saying anything. Tang Shiyue said, "You carry a bow and arrow up the mountain every day, but eight out of ten times you get nothing. Tsk tsk, your life is not going well!"
He didn't answer, but he didn't quicken his pace to leave her. Tang Shiyue said again: "Do you know how to return with a full load?"
He glanced at her.
She pretended not to understand his look.
Then the serious and prim boy finally spoke: "What's up?"
"Take me with you." Tang Shiyue smiled and pointed at the tip of her nose: "Take me with you, and we'll split the things you hunt 20-80, 80 for me and 20 for you."
He took a long breath and stared at her. She continued to look confused. Then he said, "Fifty-five."
"No, maybe seven or three at most."
...
...
Qi Jing was silent for a long time, then he said: "If the number of prey is odd, you can take one more, if the number is even, we will split it in half."
"Tsk!" Tang Shiyue gave him a look of disdain: "Okay, since you're so handsome, I'll give way to you."
So the two reached an agreement and continued to walk up the mountain. Along the way, Tang Shiyue still dug some wild grass and looked for some Chinese medicine from time to time...
In fact, ever since she came to this time and space, she has been thinking about finding something to do. Although selling herbs and hunting can fill her stomach, this is not a "career"! She needs to consider long-term sustainable development!
She discovered that Jubao Mountain was actually a Feng Shui treasure land with many medicinal herbs of good quality, which meant that the climate and soil were very suitable. So she decided to set a small goal first. How about starting a medicinal garden or something?
So she needed money. Lots of it.
Koi luck is not omnipotent. If she continues to walk in this crowded place, she can only do some small things, like catching a rabbit or something. There is little hope of getting purple fungus. So the main purpose of her calling Qi Jing today is to see how good his skills are. If he is really good, then she can let him be her bodyguard and go to the mountains. If she can get another ginseng and purple fungus, that would be the start-up capital!
Qi Jing didn't know that he had been plotted against. Although there was someone following him, he didn't pay much attention to her. He still strode forward, glancing around vigilantly. His phoenix eyes were dark and deep, and surprisingly beautiful.
After walking for half an hour, he finally said, "Even if I take you with me, it seems..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a rustling sound in the woods. Qi Jing bent his bow and drew his arrow with incredible speed, and shot it out with a whoosh... The arrow made a strong sound in the air, and the next moment, it hit the prey, which was actually a deer!
The deer struggled twice, then fell to the ground, with the arrow halfway into the deer. This shows how powerful the arrow was! This bow looked insignificant, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful.
Qi Jing looked up with some joy in his eyes. Tang Shiyue's expression was "It turns out to be just a deer."
The young man pursed his lips, suppressed his joy, and said, "Not bad! That's it for today, let's go."
The deer was not small, and the bloody smell in the mountains could easily attract wild animals. Tang Shiyue nodded, and the young man bent down, carried the deer, and walked forward. He was tall, but thin, but carrying the deer was effortless. He said calmly, "I'll go back and wash and skin it, and send you half of it at night."
Tang Shiyue said: "Mostly."
Qi Jing looked at her silently and said, "I understand."
She nodded in satisfaction, and after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, then put his hand into his sleeve, and swung it over with a whoosh, and a pheasant fell down.
Flicking arrows! My god, there is such an anti-scientific thing in the world! It can hit the target from such a distance!
Tang Shiyue took the initiative to pick up the pheasant, silently praised her previous suicidal behavior, and then calmly changed the name to "Qi Xiaolang".
On the way back, Young Master Qi shot two pheasants and a wild rabbit with his sling arrow. After returning to the village, Tang Shiyue took a pheasant and a wild rabbit, and asked Qi Jing to carry the deer back.
Tang Shiyue was carrying a pheasant and a hare, walking leisurely towards home. Before she got there, she heard someone say, "Yueyue!"
Tang Shiyue turned around suddenly and saw Tang Junchen and Tang Shirong getting off the ox cart.
Tang Shiyue was overjoyed: "Brother!" She threw away her prey, jumped over and grabbed his hand. Fourth Uncle Tang joked kindly: "Such a steady young lady, she becomes a child when she sees your brother! Go home quickly!"
Tang Shiyue agreed with a smile, then pulled Tang Shirong back and said with a smile, "Brother, aren't you going to have a day off tomorrow?"
Tang Shirong smiled and said, "My fourth uncle happened to be there, so we came back together." He lowered his voice a little and said, "You have worked hard these days. My fourth uncle told me that he has been praising you all the way."
Tang Shiyue accepted it with a smile, and took out the silver from her pocket: "Give it to you quickly, I've been carrying it for several days."
"Don't," Tang Shirong said, "Keep it with you. I don't need it in the academy for the time being."
As the two siblings were talking, several aunts in the room heard the noise and came out. Tang Shirong greeted them one by one. Tang Shiyue settled the wages and sent several people out. The clothes were also ready. Because they had to wait for Tang Shiyue to come back to settle the money, the skillful aunt embroidered a few stitches on her clothes.
Tang Shirong took a quick look and felt that the room had changed a lot. There were beddings on the bed and cups and plates on the table. Except for the broken doors and windows, it looked like a normal residence. He could not help but glance at Tang Shiyue with gratitude.
In the evening, Tang Shiyue cooked the radish and the remaining mutton, stewed the pheasant, and fried a large bowl of bamboo shoots. The family drank the mutton soup and ate hot millet rice to their heart's content. They were very satisfied.
How could they get such treatment in the Tang family? Although there was a meat dish on the table every day, the meat was given to Tang Yongming and Tang Yongfu, or Tang Shijin and Tang Shiyin. The third room could only eat some meaty dishes when Grandma Sun was in a good mood.
Xiao Yaoer has been more lively these past two days, and the three siblings chattered non-stop. Wang finished her meal with a unhappy look on her face. Tang Shirong didn't ask her anything. She just slapped her chopsticks and went straight to lie on the couch.
Tang Shiyue was too lazy to pay attention to her. After dinner, Tang Shiyue boiled water for him to wash his hair and body. Tang Shiyue also cleaned out the half-collapsed room. She covered the collapsed part with long branches and made a simple small door, ready for Tang Shirong to use when he came back to take a bath.
The stove was built at the door. The two siblings were busy with their own things while chatting through the wooden door. As they were chatting, they heard two knocks on the door.
Tang Shiyue understood and hurried over, quietly opening the gate. Qi Jing was standing at the door, silently handing her the half deer tied with a rope, and said, "Most of it."
He looked so young and handsome, and said these words with a serious face. There was such a contrast that Tang Shiyue almost laughed out loud, and gestured to thank him.
Tang Shirong came out hurriedly, holding his hair with one hand and wearing only his shirt: "Yueyue? What happened?" He frowned and looked at his back: "Who is this? What did you mention?"
