Qiao Xin led the team on the return journey.
"Big sister, when did you get here?" The village chief said with a simple smile.
"Sister-in-law, I came here with my son and the manager to explore the way. The Qiao's grocery store in the town has opened. If you need anything, send someone to tell me and I will help you find it and send it to you. There is no rush to collect medicine in this village, so please don't bother you and your brother!"
"Our village is not close to the town, and even further from the county town. Peddler doesn't like to come here. It's thanks to you that we can have a good life now. Don't worry, I will do everything you ask!"
"Oh, I'll leave it to you. We are old and exhausted, and we are working hard outside just to make sure our children can live a comfortable life!"
"That's right. I think it's not easy for you to have no man to take care of you at home. You have to do everything yourself." The village head's wife felt sad when she thought that she would hardly see Qiao Xin again in the future!
I'm afraid that the eldest sister is not living as gloriously as she seems. Who would go out to do business in person if he has children and grandchildren?
Anyway, they had never seen it, nor had they ever heard of it. Even the small landlords in the town who had a few acres of land, the old men and old ladies in their families, which one of them didn't have a lot of people following them around, and they called servants and maids at will?
I guess the eldest sister's children and grandchildren are also unreliable!
Unreliable Qiao Yunqing:......
Seeing his wife talking more and more outrageously, the village chief stepped forward to stop her and said, "What are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense, the elder sister will be delayed on her return trip. Do you think she has as much free time as you?"
Qiao Xin smiled and said, "It's okay. I feel very friendly when I hear the old sister talking!"
"We can't afford to delay. This place is not like other places. The whole road is through wild mountains and wilderness. We have been walking for a long time without a place to stay. It is safer to travel during the day."
"Okay, I'll remember what you said, brother!"
The villagers watched Qiao Xin and the others disappear at the end of the pipeline. After the village chief and the others had walked a long way, they slapped their thighs and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell them not to go through the county town. The county magistrate has set up a roadblock there. He is a Zhou Paopi!"
"Village chief, they haven't gone too far yet, how about I catch up and tell them?" Luo the hunter suggested.
No one knows the trails around here better than him!
"Okay, go ahead and explain everything to him as clearly as possible! People should not fight against officials. The county magistrate has been doing evil for so long and no one can stop him. He must have a powerful backer behind him. We can't afford to offend him. We should avoid him if possible!"
Hunter Luo nodded, turned around, packed a simple bag, took his hunting bow and arrows, and started to chase.
Anyway, he is a lonely man, and he has been living alone since his grandfather passed away. Compared with those people in the village who have families, it is most appropriate to assign him to do this job!
It's not that he didn't want to take it easy, it's just that the climate in the mountains is changeable. When the wind hits the mountain, it rains. After the wind and rain, the sky becomes blue, and when there is no wind or rain, the mountain is covered with fog. This mountain looks higher than that mountain, and it takes a day to get from one mountain to the other. The temperature changes every day, and you have to change from thin clothes to cotton.
Plus, there were beasts that appeared from time to time. He just chased them without any preparation. Whether he could catch up or not was not the question for now. At least he knew that he would not be able to come back safe and sound!
What Luo Hunter didn't know was that by going there, he actually earned himself a bright future.
Although Qiao Xin and his group were carrying goods, they were used to walking on mountain roads, so they walked very fast.
Luo the Hunter started out only half an hour late, but caught up with the others in the evening.
After hearing what Luo the Hunter said, Qiao Xin sat in front of the fire and turned to look at Qiao Yunqing.
Master Wu and Master Zeng shrank their necks, trying to reduce their presence. Before accompanying the old woman out, they thought they had done a pretty good job helping the Second Master govern Yuncheng.
Quite proud!
But now, the monsters and demons that appear one after another are really embarrassing. They have always been known as the adults' right-hand men. Now that this situation has occurred, if we investigate them, they can't escape the blame for negligence!
Qiao Yunqing was accustomed to it.
This kind of situation has been banned repeatedly in every dynasty. Once discovered, the superiors will eradicate it!
"I'll take care of it later!"
After delivering the message, Luo the Hunter automatically found a place not too far from the caravan to sit down and rest. Just as he took out the dry food he had prepared long ago from his bag, a fragrant roast chicken appeared in front of him.
When I looked up, I saw Qiao Xin smiling amiably.
The young man Qiao Xin stood in front of him and said, "Thank you for taking the trouble to come here. When you are away from home, there are not so many things to be particular about. I can only treat you to a roast chicken!"
Luo Lie was at a loss as to what to do. He just did what he thought he should do. After all, Qiao Xin could be considered a great benefactor of their village!
It's just a message, there's no need for the other party to come out in person to thank you!
Although he was not very knowledgeable, he was not stupid. This person, whether in terms of words, behavior, or style of doing things, was not what ordinary country gentlemen had.
They are called ordinary merchants, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that ordinary merchants don't have the same magnanimity as them, not even the county magistrate can compare to them.
All humans have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, let alone hunters whose five senses are extremely sensitive.
He could feel Qiao Xin's kindness, but he was not very good at dealing with people, so he was at a loss and the pressure increased.
"How about I ask someone to send a roasted chicken over? We are also considered people from Tongdao. My father is also a hunter, so he knows our appetites quite well. But the meats are not cooked yet, so I'll give you this one to fill your stomach."
"No, no, I brought my own dry food." Luo the hunter waved his hand and refused
Since his parents and ancestors passed away, he had been destined to be a lonely star. He had long been accustomed to other people's cold words and didn't know how to respond to Qiao Xin's concern.
The tall young man stood there, blushing and feeling uneasy.
This guy is definitely a social phobia!
Qiao Xin was thinking about how to say it so as not to scare the shy boy: "Don't be nervous, I'm just curious, how did you find us so quickly."
Hunter Luo explained: "When I go hunting, I like to identify the location of animals by their footprints. My grandfather said this method is also applicable to humans."
"Footprints, inherited from my family?"
"Yes! My grandfather taught me."
At the beginning, his grandfather taught his father, second uncle, and third uncle, and later passed it on to his grandsons. Unfortunately, he was the only one who learned the essence of it and surpassed his grandfather.
Because of this, he was often targeted by others.
As hunters, they all know how to find prey based on footprints, but there are not many who are as accurate as Luo the Hunter.
