The eldest grandson leaned against the brown bear's body, breathing heavily and looking a little flushed.
The experience just now was still echoing in Changsun's mind, which made Changsun a little confused and at the same time made him a little excited.
He actually broke through at the critical moment, and he actually killed this brown bear.
At the last moment, the eldest grandson didn't know where the situation would develop. He was purely under the threat of death and was forced to have no choice but to burst out with strength. If such a blow still couldn't kill the brown bear, then he would definitely become The contents of the brown bear's belly.
Fortunately, the goddess of luck took pity on him this time, the eldest grandson thought in his heart.
Changsun took a few deep breaths to calm down his turbulent emotions, then stood up. Without even having time to check his trophies, he quickly picked up the brown bear's body and ran back.
An experienced hunter like Zhangsun understands that not leaving immediately after being exposed to blood in the jungle is tantamount to seeking death.
Therefore, the eldest grandson took the body and quickly left the scene before he had time to dispose of the body, heading to the cave he had prepared before.
After entering the cave, Changsun immediately covered the entrance with camouflage and sprinkled sulfur around to cover up the smell of blood.
After doing this, Zhangsun breathed a sigh of relief and began to process the brown bear's body.
It was impossible to transport such a large carcass back to the town intact, so the only way to do that was to remove the valuable parts of the brown bear and bring them back.
Changsun was obviously a veteran in this field. He put a small dagger in his hand and used three strokes to remove the brown bear's skin, and then removed the brown bear's paws and other valuable parts.
After Changsun finished all this, he took a breath and looked at the remaining bear meat. He felt pity. After all, his physical strength was limited and he could only take away so much. The remaining bear meat could only be used at a discount to the lucky beasts.
After recovering some of his strength, Changsun did not hesitate, turned around and left. After leaving the cave, he ran towards the town as fast as he could. By this time, the sky had darkened, and night would fall in a while.
The night in the jungle is more terrifying than the day. Even an experienced hunter like Zhang Sun is not willing to stay in the jungle at night.
When he saw the town appearing in his field of vision, Changsun's heart dropped.
Although he has been hunting in the wild for a long time, his cautious nature has prevented the eldest grandson from being careless because of his experience. Instead, he has become more cautious.
The eldest grandson walked to the entrance of the town, and Chu Li was sitting boredly on a small stool in front of his house, waiting for the eldest grandson to come back.
When Chu Li saw her eldest grandson coming back, she immediately rushed out happily.
"Brother, you're back. Why are you so late today?" The little girl was happy to see her eldest grandson coming back late, but she also complained a little.
"Well, we encountered a little trouble today. But today we are in a good mood, you see..."
The eldest grandson was about to show off the bear meat to Chu Li when Uncle Ma from the town suddenly interrupted the eldest grandson.
"The little hunter is back, but if you make me wait, my big iron pot will be burned through." Although Uncle Ma said this, he was also sincerely happy to see his eldest grandson back safely.
"Uncle Ma, I won't let your big iron pot cook through. Let's eat bear meat today."
The eldest grandson shouted and called out all the neighbors. They gathered around the eldest grandson. They saw the big bear head on the eldest grandson's back at a glance. They were surprised and praised the eldest grandson's ability.
"I'm going to treat you all to bear meat today. Let's all go to Uncle Ma's house and wait. Chuli will come and wash the meat." Changsun greeted everyone while asking Chuli to work.
Although Qingshan Town is small, the residents in the town are very simple, and the relationship between neighbors is mostly sincere. As soon as the eldest grandson greeted him, everyone gathered around Uncle Ma's house to wait to eat bear meat.
Changsun took advantage of this moment to run to the only mercenary station in the town.
Because here is not only an inn, but also the only merchant in the town who purchases materials and sells goods, Chen Xiazi.
Chen Xiazi lived in the mercenary inn. Generally, the hunters in the town would sell the materials they brought back from hunting or the medicinal materials they collected to Chen Xiazi.
Blind Chen has his own channels to take these materials to other inland areas for processing.
Blind Man Chen wears a pair of black glasses. No one in the town knows whether Blind Man Chen is really blind or fake, but everyone knows that he is not blind at heart and is as dark as his black glasses.
Changsun found Chen Xiazi with ease, threw down the valuable materials he had taken from the brown bear on his back, and went straight to the point.
"See how much it's worth?"
After that, the eldest grandson found a chair to sit down on his own, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.
Blind Chen didn't talk nonsense. He groped for the cloth bag on the table. After untying it, he took the materials one by one and groped for them.
In just one cup of tea, Blind Chen finished checking the materials.
"Well, how much is this thing worth? It's enough for you to drink my tea."
Changsun drank the tea in the cup and said, "Have you finished inspecting the goods so quickly this time? I won't take a closer look. This time, I got the materials from the brown bear that I risked my life to kill."
"Hmph, if I didn't check it quickly, I would have suffered a huge loss if I left you here to finish my tea. Did you risk your life to get the materials? Humph, that only shows that your life is cheap." Blind Chen said to The eldest grandson's tone didn't sound like a businessman at all, but his harsh tone sounded like he was talking to a debt collector.
The eldest grandson calmly refilled himself a cup of tea, then stood up and said, "Don't pretend to be in front of me. Tea leaves like yours are all over the mountains and plains. How can you pretend to be precious? All three of my brown bear's paws are intact." Yes, the bear skin is also intact. It is the favorite of the people in the city to make clothes. The remaining bones are also the hardest parts of the body, and they are also rare and good materials for refining weapons. These things are all It's a valuable item. How can you compare it to this crappy tea? Just tell me how much it costs?" Changsun's tone was equally bad.
As if he was used to it, Blind Chen didn't get angry and didn't continue to refute. Instead, he thought for a moment and said, "Twenty copper coins at most."
After hearing the price, Changsun said without hesitation: "Fifty."
After hearing this, Blind Chen immediately felt like a cat with hairy fur. He took off his black glasses in excitement and his voice became shrill.
"Fifty, why don't you go and grab it? I double the asking price every time I come to sell something. Are you sincere in doing business with me?"
Changsun looked at Blind Chen's eyes after taking off his black glasses. They were a pair of eyes with only the whites, which looked a bit scary.
But Changsun just stared at these eyes calmly, as if his eyes could penetrate everything.
Although Blind Chen couldn't see his eldest grandson looking at him again, it was as if he had taken off his disguise when he took off his glasses, as if his eldest grandson had seen through him at a glance.
Blind Chen put his glasses back on, and then said reluctantly: "Thirty, don't raise the price with me again."
"forty five."
"Forty, no more."
"Forty-five, pay for it, don't miss a penny."
Blind Chen wanted to argue a few more words, but under the gaze of his eldest grandson, he slowly lost the battle and angrily threw his sleeves and walked away.
The eldest grandson was not in a hurry and continued to drink tea leisurely.
After a while, Blind Chen came back again, holding a lot of money in his hand, threw it on the table, and said angrily: "Take the money and leave quickly, don't drink my tea here."
The eldest grandson took the money, weighed it, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Boss Chen. If Boss Chen has nothing to do, why don't you go eat bear meat with me?"
"No!" Blind Chen turned away as if he had a grudge.
"Then I will take my leave now and come back to Boss Chen for tea and discussion some other day."
Changsun said and resigned.
The eldest grandson left, and Blind Chen was still angry.
"Discussing Taoism over tea? That brat knows a lot about Taoism. Huh, he's full of little ideas."
The eldest grandson patted the money in his pocket and felt satisfied.
The currencies circulating in Kyushu Continent are copper coins, silver dollars and gold leaves.
One hundred copper coins can be exchanged for one silver dollar, and one hundred silver dollars can be exchanged for one gold leaf. Due to its rare materials and perfect craftsmanship, gold leaves have greater artistic value and collection value, so generally even if you have one hundred silver dollars, you may not be able to exchange for one. In exchange for a gold leaf.
The eldest grandson felt in his pocket the forty-five copper coins he had just earned, calculating in his mind the money he had accumulated from hunting in the past six months.
Although the eldest grandson has been hunting and making money for most of the past six months, but now, excluding daily expenses, his savings are only about four to five hundred copper coins.
Even though he had earned forty-five copper coins today, such income was very rare in the past six months.
The eldest grandson estimated in his mind: "Four to five hundred copper coins, that is, four or five silver dollars. The annual expenditure of an average family is about one silver dollar. I only have four or five silver dollars now... Alas, it is hard to make money."
Although according to this calculation, the eldest grandson has four or five silver dollars, which can be considered as some savings, but one silver dollar this year can only provide the most basic food and clothing for an average family. As for Chuli's current situation, the eldest grandson will have more places to spend money in the future. After going, these four or five silver dollars immediately seemed like a drop in the bucket.
No matter in his previous life or in the first half of his life, the eldest grandson never had less money. Today's predicament really makes the eldest grandson realize that life is not easy for people at the bottom of society.
In Qingshan Town, everyone had a meal of bear meat because of Zhangsun's harvest today. After eating, everyone felt satisfied and went home to rest.
Chu Li was still busy cleaning up the mess. Changsun was sitting in front of the door, picking his teeth with a dead branch in his hand while looking at Chu Li's busy figure.
Tie Ta came over and sat next to his eldest grandson without saying a word. After a long time, he took out his husband's lunch box and said, "Today, you go and deliver the meal."
Changsun looked at his husband's lunch box, was stunned for a moment, and said, "You mean that your husband hasn't eaten yet?"
As he spoke, the eldest grandson looked at the sky. The moon was already high and the sky was full of stars.
Tieta showed a rare blush and said: "The bear meat is so delicious, so you go and deliver the food."
After hearing these two unrelated sentences, Changsun was stunned for a long time.
"You mean, it's all my fault that the bear meat I brought back was so delicious that you forgot to deliver the meal. It's all my fault, so you want me to deliver the meal?"
The tower returned to its expressionless look.
"Um."
Changsun looked at the iron tower without any guilt, shook his head and said: "Shameless."
Even under Changsun's sharp gaze, Iron Tower remained calm, and Changsun had to lose in the end.
Changsun finally realized how blind Chen felt when facing him.
Changsun angrily walked out of the town carrying his lunch box, and the sound of the iron tower came from behind.
"You haven't hit the iron for a few days. Let's hit the iron tomorrow."
"You want me to take the blame for you, and you want me to go blacksmithing for you tomorrow!" Changsun felt extremely dissatisfied. He clenched his fists loudly, but in the end he loosened them weakly.
When facing an opponent that you cannot defeat mentally and physically, you can only choose to accept it silently.
The iron tower's resolute face under the starry sky exudes the light of invincible justice.
