Common people were not allowed to ride horses in the city. After dismounting at the city gate, she led the horse forward and stopped in front of a restaurant called Yipinxuan in the county seat.
When the waiter in the store saw the person coming, he recognized it as Ji Qingyao and hurriedly came forward to say hello: "Mr. Ji, you haven't sent wild animals over for a long time. Our shopkeeper was still talking about you this morning, so you're here soon." Wait a moment, I will inform the shopkeeper right away."
Before going there, he had a sharp eye and moved the things on Ji Qingyao's horse to the lobby with another young man. After moving the things, he went to the shopkeeper and asked another boy to lead the horse to the backyard.
It was late afternoon and there were no guests in the lobby, so Ji Qingyao didn't say anything to stop him.
Ji Qingyao politely responded, "Then I'll help you, second brother."
Ji Qingyao secretly came to the county town with his prey six months ago. After visiting several restaurants based on his own personal experience, he finally decided to cooperate with Yipinxuan. At least no one in Yipinxuan, from the waiter to the shopkeeper, would look at people with dog eyes.
The shopkeeper came very quickly. He was a middle-aged man in his early forties. He looked very gentle and elegant. If Ji Qingyao hadn't known him, she would have thought he was a master from some school.
The shopkeeper of Yipinxuan, whose surname is Qin, is a kind-hearted person. His image has nothing to do with the shrewd calculations of a businessman.
Shopkeeper Qin was a sincere person, and Ji Qingyao was also straightforward. They got to know Ji Qingyao over and over again, and the two became sworn friends.
"How come you haven't sent a letter for a month this time? I thought you were forcibly recruited into the army." Shopkeeper Qin came downstairs and saw that familiar figure. Although there was complaint in his voice, there was a strong worries.
When Ji Qingyao saw the person coming, he clasped his fists and saluted: "Uncle, I'm worried. It's the boy's fault."
In order to avoid getting into trouble, Ji Qingyao always dressed up as a man whether she went to the town or the county to sell prey. Shopkeeper Qin had known her for half a year but he didn't realize that the other party was a woman.
When shopkeeper Qin came downstairs, he heard from the waiter that Ji Qingyao had brought prey. He saw a big sack in the corner and looked at Ji Qingyao with a smile: "What good things did you bring here today? Cover it like this." It’s tight, so you don’t have to worry about covering it up.”
The waiter who followed shopkeeper Qin walked to the sack with a sharp eye and was about to open the rope at the mouth of the sack.
Ji Qingyao stepped forward and said, "Uncle, second brother, this bag contains tigers. I hunted them this morning. I rented a horse and worked hard to deliver them. They are very fresh."
The waiter's hand that was about to untie the rope paused in mid-air, with fear on his face.
Shopkeeper Qin yelled out, "What are you talking about? What's in this... tiger... you don't want your life... How dare you go up the mountain to hunt tigers, but you're injured... you, you..."
You haven't heard anything from you for a long time. Ji Qingyao smiled at the corner of her lips and her eyebrows softened a little unconsciously. So what if she didn't have any relatives. She and Uncle Qin were not related by blood. When he heard that she went to hunt tigers in the mountains, he was first worried about her safety.
"Uncle, I'm fine. Do you think I'm standing in front of you so well?" Ji Qingyao helped Uncle Qin sit down on a stool beside him, walked straight to the mouth of the bag with the tiger, squatted down, and untied the ropes that bound it. , took the tiger out of the bag and put it on the table aside.
Although the tiger has been cleaned up by Ji Qingyao, the second brother on the side is still numb and his face is pale.
Shopkeeper Qin's eyes widened when he saw the tiger standing next to him, and he jumped up excitedly.
This morning, his boss asked him to find a way to buy a tiger at a high price, saying it would be of great use, so that when he gets sleepy, someone would give him a pillow.
Shopkeeper Qin's eyes were filled with excitement. When Ji Qingyao saw Shopkeeper Qin like this, he just thought that this little old man would have such a cute side. Isn't he just a tiger? How could he be so excited?
If shopkeeper Qin could hear Ji Qingyao's inner criticism, he would definitely say to her, "You think a tiger is a rabbit, and everyone can beat it. Not everyone can beat a rabbit."
Game may not be valuable in the town, but there are many rich people in the county or in the city, and many people are curious about it. Although shopkeeper Qin didn't tell Ji Qingyao this, Ji Qingyao knew what to do, otherwise she wouldn't The prey will be sent to the county instead of the town.
At the corner of the second floor, a handsome man in purple clothes watched the movement downstairs. He walked out of the private room when he heard the voice of shopkeeper Qin. Uncle Qin is an old man in their family, and he rarely loses his temper.
Seeing Uncle Qin's excited expression, he moved forward, hehe, good guy, no wonder Uncle Qin is losing his composure.
He had seen the young man next to Uncle Qin several times. He heard that Uncle Qin said he was a hunter. Looking at the young man's delicate features, he felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
The boy looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old at most. Uncle Qin said that the boy was an old hunter. He couldn't understand what kind of family would let their children go hunting in the mountains from an early age.
