Chapter 14 Bargaining



Early the next morning, after breakfast, Liu Feng took the two sisters for a walk in the county town.

In the afternoon, we drove the ox cart towards Siwa Village.

After entering the village, Liu Feng found something wrong. Everyone in the village was carrying farm tools and wooden sticks and heading in one direction.

Liu Feng didn't understand.

He grabbed a man and asked, "What happened?"

"The wild boars came down the mountain in droves, destroying all the crops in the fields."

"Liu Feng, you know how to hunt, go and help us."

"If this continues, I wonder how many people will starve to death this winter."

The man sighed as he spoke.

The most anxious person at this time was Wang Changsheng.

Most of the land in the entire village belongs to Wang Changsheng, and these villagers are just farming for Wang Changshan.

What the villagers are worried about is their own food rations.

Wang Changsheng is worried about his annual income.

Liu Feng thought to himself that this was a great thing for him.

Why not get prey without going up the mountain?

Liu Feng hurriedly drove the ox cart home.

After returning home, he began to pack up his hunting tools, which were his reliance for survival.

Soon, bows, arrows, axes, and spears were placed in the garden.

Liu Feng carried a quiver on his back, a wooden bow on his straddle, an axe on his waist, and a spear in his hand.

After preparing everything, we are ready to go.

He said he knew Mu Wanqing and Mu Wanqing insisted on following.

Because they were worried about Liu Feng going alone, for fear that something might happen to him.

He could only take the two sisters and run towards the place where the wild boars were.

The Dali Dynasty was now suffering from famine for years, and villages like Siwa Village, which were already poor, were even more difficult.

The better land is the dozens of acres by the river.

Basically, they are all in the hands of the village chief Wang Changsheng.

It is this part of the land that the wild boars have destroyed.

So this is equivalent to giving money to Liu Feng. Without money, he can't help.

When we arrived at the place, we could see from afar about twenty or thirty villagers standing on the ridges of the fields.

There were eight wild boars in the fertile fields by the river. The leading wild boar was extremely large, weighing at least 500 kilograms.

Eating fresh vegetables happily.

It’s no wonder that wild boars come down the mountain, as the fruits on the mountain have already fallen at this time of year.

Originally, it was food for the wild beasts in the mountains, but the famine forced the villagers to eat anything they could find, so they had to compete with the wild beasts for food.

If wild boars have nothing to eat, they will definitely come down the mountain to cause trouble.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up."

"superior……."

"Are you all deaf?"

"Well, all you have to do is kill the wild boar and share half of the meat with everyone."

"I, Wang Changsheng, keep my word..."

Wang Changsheng stamped his feet anxiously, shouting until his throat was almost broken, but it was of no use.

These people are not stupid.

The wild boar king is so scary.

They didn't have the right tools, and if they just charged in like that, they would be courting death.

What's more, the three farmhands who were showing off wanted to take credit for their abilities, so they rushed forward without listening to the advice. After just one encounter, all three young men were injured.

If I hadn't run fast, I would have lost my life.

Who dares to go?

Are you looking for death?

"Look, it's Liu Feng. Liu Feng is here."

Seeing that it was Liu Feng, everyone was very excited and had hopeful smiles on their faces.

Even the women in the village had stars in their eyes when they saw Liu Feng.

Everyone was chatting about topics that made them blush.

A civet cat bought many items, and a deer provided a good life for his family with countless grains. Who wouldn't be envious of such a man?

Especially after hearing that Liu Feng shot a stag with one arrow, they regarded him as the god of archery.

"Liu Feng, this is all your fault."

"If you hadn't hunted the beast."

“And we won’t let the wild beasts come down the mountain.”

"It's all your fault."

"You've destroyed so much of my fertile land and vegetables. You must deal with the wild boars and compensate me."

Wang Changsheng rushed towards Liu Feng, and Liu Feng smiled.

With a sideways turn, Wang Changsheng fell into the paddy field.

His entire body was stained with black mud, and he looked extremely miserable.

"What a bullshit logic."

"Did I tell the wild boar to come down the mountain?"

"With your attitude, I don't care."

"I'll wait until these wild boars are full before I take action. We'll see who suffers the most losses then."

Liu Feng sneered, put the spear in his hand to the ground, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the wild boar king who was eating vegetables in the field as if no one was around.

Wang Changsheng struggled to get up, hating Liu Feng to the core.

But most of his vegetables had been destroyed. He had sent them to restaurants in the city to exchange for money before winter.

Wang Changsheng had no choice but to lower his head.

"You are the God of Arrows, you are powerful. Please, kill these wild boars."

"Liu Feng, I've already told you my attitude. It's time for you to take action. Don't push your luck."

Liu Feng still had no intention of taking action, which made Wang Changsheng even more anxious, and his knees almost gave way.

"Liu Feng, I beg you."

"Save me."

"What do you want? Tell me now."

"Okay, that's easy. With so many wild boars, I can't do it alone. I need help."

Liu Feng said.

"That's easy. These people are my family's permanent and temporary workers. You can use them as you please."

Wang Changsheng said, patting his chest.

"No, I mean, everyone who helps me later must be given thirty strings of silver. Not a penny less."

Wang Changsheng's face darkened. He looked at so many people and realized that it would cost almost one or two taels of silver.
