Xia He tiptoed to the bedside, looked at his wife who was still sleeping, and gently called her to get up for breakfast.
However, at this moment, a sad funeral music mixed with miserable crying came in from outside the window.
Xia He's heart tightened, but he quickly calmed down.
Nowadays, the blood disease in the city is becoming more and more serious. This evil disease can cause people to die suddenly within just seven days, and there is still no cure.
They can only keep buying expensive drugs to delay the deterioration of the disease.
But even so, more and more people in the town are still dying from the disease and having no money to buy medicine.
Xia He thought to himself: If I can't earn more money as soon as possible to replenish the antidote.
Then one day, the fate of the person outside the window will mercilessly befall the couple.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine.
"Brother He, the price of blood disease medicine is rising every day. I'm worried..."
Xia He held Li Huilan's hand tightly and said a few words of comfort in a soft voice, but then he frowned and thought to himself,
"This blood disease is too fierce and too inexplicable... I always feel something is wrong."
"If I can take my skills a step further, will I have a chance to completely resist this blood disease?"
Once this thought came into being, it quickly occupied my entire mind like a prairie fire.
"Must obtain more attribute points!"
Only with money can you fill your stomach, and only by improving your strength can you protect yourself.
He closed the door tightly, blocking out the crying and wailing from outside.
After the noise outside gradually subsided, he stood up, carried the medicine basket, picked up the javelin, and walked towards the mountain.
Without those annoying hooligans disturbing the house, the next few days were much more peaceful.
Xia He led a very regular and monotonous life, going from one place to another every day - he would get up early in the morning and then rush to the mountains to collect herbs and hunt.
In the evening, he would go to the drugstore to exchange the collected herbs for money. He would sometimes send the prey he hunted to a restaurant and sometimes take it home.
If they hadn't caught anything big for several days, I'm afraid the neighbors would have been really jealous.
On this day, as the sun was setting and the pharmacy was about to close, there was still no sign of Xia He returning.
At this time on normal days, he would have come to the drugstore with more or less harvest, but today he was nowhere to be seen, which made Wang Xing, the owner of the drugstore, curious and worried.
Not many people cared about the disappearance of Song Bao and his gang of hooligans.
The giant python that has recently appeared in the mountains had a swollen belly that was seen from a distance.
While wandering around in search of food, several experienced and strong hunters have unfortunately lost their lives.
Nowadays, not many people dare to go into the mountains. Only Xia He still runs up the mountain every day.
While Wang Xing was chatting with others, he frowned and thought to himself, "Did something happen to this child?"
Just as he was worried, he suddenly heard a loud shouting coming from outside the door.
Then, many figures swarmed in one direction like a tide. Boss Wang walked out of the store slowly, full of suspicion.
When he saw the scene clearly, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and his face was full of shock.
In the distance, two people were carrying a huge object laboriously and walking slowly towards this side, and the one walking in front was Xia He, whom he had just been talking about!
What he was carrying was actually the corpse of the terrifying giant python that terrified everyone!
"Xiao He, what are you doing..."
The python's body was thrown in front of the drugstore.
Xia He searched for the beast in the mountains for several days and finally found it.
After swallowing countless medicinal herbs, the giant python grew a thick layer of cuticle on its body.
If he hadn't relied on the [Heavy Strike] after his breakthrough in skills to pierce it, he would probably have had no choice but to escape.
He had cut open the giant python before he came and saw undigested human bones in its stomach, which was really scary.
The burly and rough man behind him looked envious as everyone watched.
Wu Dashi, a famous hunter in the neighborhood, used to live a good life, but recently for some reason, he had no harvest for many days in a row and his family was almost unable to make ends meet.
He had originally planned to go into the mountains to try his luck early in the morning, but he didn't expect to encounter this giant python and was scared out of his wits.
Just when he was about to die in the mouth of the giant python, Xia He suddenly appeared, and at a distance of fifty steps, he threw the javelin in his hand like lightning. The sharp sound of breaking through the air was like thunder and hit the target accurately!
He had never heard of such amazing force. The giant python was still in shock when it was pierced by the sharp spear, and blood splattered everywhere!
Not only did he kill the giant python, he also saved his life. Then, looking at how young Xia He was, Wu Dashi was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
So he volunteered to carry back this giant python weighing at least 90 kilograms.
"Python!"
"It's that man-eating python! My second aunt was eaten by this python when she went up the mountain!"
It was only a few hundred meters from the town entrance to the pharmacy, but the villagers who had heard the news and came to watch the excitement had already surrounded it, making it impossible to get through.
This giant python is as thick as a bucket, at least fifteen or sixteen meters long. Even several strong adult men are not enough for it to eat.
Wu Dashi was a big mouth. When he saw everyone gathering around him, he immediately exaggerated and told them everything that had happened in the mountains.
Only then did we know that it was Xia He who killed the giant python!
Isn't he a gambler? When did he become so fierce?
Now Xia He became completely famous.
…
"Xiao He, please sell me this python meat and snake gall!"
In the crowd, Wang Xing was rubbing his hands with excitement.
This giant python has become spiritual, and has eaten so many people, it is almost intelligent and can be called a "demon".
Xiahe definitely doesn't plan to sell the snake meat because it can all be converted into attribute points.
But Wang Xing didn't care, because the most valuable part of a snake is not its meat, but its gallbladder and skin.
However, just as he was about to make an offer, someone cut him off.
A gray-haired but energetic old man suddenly strode over and said,
"Ten taels of silver, I want the snake gall!"
When Xia He heard the voice, he looked and found that the person who came was wearing half leather armor and holding a spear in his hand. He looked like a soldier from the garrison outside the city. He couldn't help but be surprised.
The Qin Dynasty lasted for more than 480 years.
After the First Emperor swept across many countries, he established the feudal system.
Each military town can recruit soldiers on its own and is responsible for preventing invasions by barbarians from the border.
Military households are those who have officially joined the army. They are usually only responsible for training, but each household can recruit 20 military slaves to be responsible for daily farm chores, food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The Qin Dynasty claimed to have five million strong troops, but most of them were soldiers' families.
But because of this, those who can go to the battlefield are all elite.
Xia He couldn't help but sigh!
Refugees were of low status, even lower than the families of military households.
If you can become a military household, that would be a real chance to soar to heaven.
