Zhao Feng looked at the wooden arrow that had just been fired with great satisfaction. It seemed that the power of this crossbow was more powerful than he imagined.
Chen Shan also reacted and said in admiration: "I have never seen such a powerful bow and arrow!"
"As long as I go to the county and shoot a few iron arrows, I feel like I can kill a wild boar!"
Zhao Feng also nodded with satisfaction, and then worked with Chen Shan to make some traps.
Although Zhao Feng now has a crossbow, it is mainly used for self-defense. After all, a major disadvantage of the crossbow is that the loading speed is relatively slow, and it is the kind of thing that can only be used with a sure-kill blow.
When hunting, traps are still mainly used. The fewer wounds the animal skins have, the more expensive they will be.
After finishing these things, it was just afternoon. Zhao Feng asked Chen Rou to stay at Chen Shan's house while he went directly to the county seat.
The main reason why Chen Rou stayed here was because he was worried that Chen Rou would be in danger. After all, Zhao Feng would go hunting in the mountains in the next few days. It would be terrible if the Li brothers came to the house to cause trouble for Chen Rou while he was away.
The separation was about to begin. Although this time it was only for two or three days, Chen Rou still reluctantly held Zhao Feng's hand and whispered.
"Husband, you must come back safely, I am waiting for you here!"
Zhao Feng nodded, patted Chen Rou's smooth little hand, and said with a smile: "With such a beautiful lady waiting for me, I will definitely come back!"
"Don't worry, our good days are coming soon!"
Chen Rou reluctantly let go of Zhao Feng's hand and watched Zhao Feng go to the county town.
Chen Man came over, looked at Zhao Feng's back, and said to Chen Rou: "Sister, brother-in-law, he has his own destiny, don't worry!"
Chen Rou smiled and touched the little girl's head. The little girl was not married yet, how could she understand the wife's worries about her husband?
Zhao Feng came to the county town and sold all the rabbit skins he had previously owned. Since there were no holes in the rabbit skins and the treatment was very good, he sold them for half a pound, which was five dollars. Hundreds of articles.
However, the five hundred coins were not enough to pay back the money. They could only buy three iron arrows.
When he came to the blacksmith shop, Zhao Feng asked the blacksmith to make three iron arrowheads, registered them, and then took the remaining dozens of pennies to buy some food and returned to the village.
It was almost dark when he returned to the village. Although he was very tired from the day, it was far from his time to rest. Zhao Feng went directly into the mountains and set up traps far away from people. He hoped to catch someone tonight. to something.
Before dawn the next day, Zhao Feng went directly into the mountain. He also took some dry food, obviously wanting to stay in the mountain all day.
When Zhao Feng behaves like this, people in the village start talking about it.
In a small village like this, there is no way to hide something. In the discussions among the neighbors, if a family has a big or small affair, it will not take half a day to spread throughout the village.
"Hey, have you seen Zhao Feng's house?"
"Yes, his wife is no longer here, maybe she eloped with someone else, right?"
"I think it's possible. You see, Zhao Feng, who is usually lazy, went out so early and there is no one at home. He probably ran away!"
After hearing these people's comments, the Li brothers couldn't wait any longer. They wandered around Zhao Feng's house all day, and sure enough they didn't see a single soul.
This immediately made them very angry. They didn't expect that damn Zhao Feng to escape!
"Don't be afraid. A monk who can escape cannot escape from the temple. If he doesn't come back, we will report him to the official!"
The second son of the Li family also nodded quickly: "Brother is right, we have written evidence, where else can he go?"
The third son of the Li family looked at the pile of things in the room and said, "Don't be afraid. If it doesn't work, let's go in first and see if there is anything valuable, and we'll just charge interest!"
Several people gathered together and planned to come while it was dark.
After finally waiting until dark, the four of them sneaked to Zhao Feng's house. Just as they were about to push the door open and go in, they heard an angry voice from behind.
"What do you want to do?"
The Li brothers turned around and saw that it was Zhao Feng who had returned, carrying a bulging sack in his hand, and they suddenly felt guilty.
But when he remembered that he was a creditor, he straightened his back and said in a stern voice.
"Of course I'm here to collect debts! In case you run away!"
Zhao Feng chuckled. His face could not be seen clearly in the shadow, and his voice seemed a bit muffled.
"Don't worry, I won't run away, it's you."
"You broke into a house without permission. Are you trying to steal something?"
The Li brothers were a little embarrassed after being told what they were worried about, but they still said directly: "Don't spit on others!"
Zhao Feng slowly approached. Seeing Zhao Feng's figure looming in the darkness, the Li brothers were frightened for a moment and did not dare to move at all.
"Then let's see if the county magistrate will believe you!"
"Get out of here right away! If you dare to come to my house privately again, I'll be careful!"
As soon as Zhao Feng finished speaking, there was only a "whoosh" sound, and then the sound of a wooden arrow inserted into the door panel sounded from behind. Listening to the continuous trembling sound of arrows, you didn't need to look back to think of this arrow. How powerful is it!
This almost frightened the Li brothers to death. They usually relied on the three brothers to show off their power in the village, but they had to give in when they really encountered a ruthless person. Unexpectedly, Zhao Feng, who had always been honest, turned out to be like this. This suddenly made people angry. They fled in despair, not even daring to say a harsh word.
Zhao Feng snorted coldly. It's not time to deal with these three bullies and bullies!
So I went home directly and started cooking again.
Under the light of the fire, Zhao Feng poured out the contents of the sack. It turned out to be four or five pheasants, four hares and a deer!
Looking at today's gains, Zhao Feng smiled.
As long as you sell these to the county town, you can almost pay off the money!
So Zhao Feng tied up all the harvest, ate something and went to bed.
Early the next morning, Zhao Feng went to the county town again, sold all these things, and then bought some more things. After all, as long as the harvest was good today, he could pay off the money.
On the way back to the village, several people from Chenjiazhuang saw Zhao Feng and greeted Zhao Feng enthusiastically. After all, Zhao Feng was famous for saving Chen Shan before, and he was considered a celebrity in Chenjiazhuang.
Zhao Feng greeted them with a smile and went straight back to the village and into the mountains.
But after those people returned to Chenjiazhuang, they discussed their encounter with Zhao Feng today.
As a result, Mrs. Wang happened to hear this, and she was so angry that she went home angrily.
"Okay, why did Zhao Feng leave you at your parents' house and go back to the village? I'm afraid he wants to divorce you!"
As soon as she entered the door, Wang shouted angrily at Chen Rou.
