Chapter 9 Li Wei
The next day, Wei Zheng got up early and climbed to the outside of Xiaozhoushan.

The rushing sound of the stream echoed in his ears. Wei Zheng looked at the inner mountain in the dense forest, thought for a while, and finally decided not to go into the inner mountain.

Now, he not only lives for one person, but also has to be extremely careful in everything.

However, Wei Zheng was still a little itchy when he heard the ethereal deer calls coming from the dense forest and the calls of wild robes coming from time to time.

Not to mention deer, a game that the nobles in the county love to eat, even silly roe deer, plus skin and meat, can be sold in the city for at least more than 30 yuan.

If you catch one like that, you can exchange it for stalks that can survive the whole winter.

After reaching advanced tracking and archery, and then strengthening your body, let's go into the inner mountains.

Wei Zheng shook his head, forced away the thoughts in his mind, and followed the creek to search for traces of prey.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Wei Zheng slowly walked down the path in the mountain.

In the small sack behind him, there were already two more rabbits whose heads were shot by an arrow, and a colorful pheasant.

The harvest is not bad.

Now, this ordinary little animal can no longer escape Wei Zheng's eyes.

Moreover, with the addition of the reinforced wooden bow, the power of the iron arrows has increased dramatically. With just one arrow, these small animals will die on the spot, with almost no struggle.

Wei Zheng originally thought about sneaking back home along the path as before, but after thinking for a while, he decided to change the route temporarily and walked back to his home along the main road in the village.

Sure enough, when the idle men in the village saw Wei Zheng walking home with a bulging sack on his back, they all stopped talking and looked at his sack.

The idle men looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Look at the bulging sack, did you hunt something?

Not far away, Liu Lingling, who was sitting on a stone pier in a daze, apparently also saw this scene.

Not long after, the idle men under the willow tree exchanged glances, and immediately a middle-aged man stood up and blocked Wei Zheng's path.

"Zhengzi, what did you hunt?"

The middle-aged man's eyes were eager, staring straight at the sack behind Wei Zheng.

"Brother, I haven't eaten meat for half a year. If you sell the goods to me, the price will be negotiable."

"Okay." Wei Zheng let out a chuckle and casually turned down the sack behind him, revealing the prey inside.

When he saw the hare and pheasant in the bag, the man's eyes immediately straightened, and the rest of the idle men around Wei Zheng also frowned.

These are all good products.

He was not lying about not eating meat for half a year. Hunters in the mountains all had ancestral craftsmanship. How could farmers like them, who depended on the sky for their livelihood, learn it?

Therefore, if they want to eat meat, except when a blind cat encounters a dead mouse and can get a pheasant that sneaks into the field, other times, they have to exchange grain or money with the hunters in the village.

"Zhengzi, you are a good hunter, much better than Niu Er!" The man drooled at the corner of his mouth unconsciously. He was about to reach out to grab the prey, but as soon as he took action, Wei Zheng grabbed his arm.

"A rabbit can be exchanged for six pounds of rice, either pickles or oil and salt."

Wei Zheng looked at him quietly.

"Hi!" The middle-aged man's face was obviously unhappy. He obviously didn't expect the dull and stupid Wei Zheng to ask him for money.

"How can I still eat from you for free? Give it to me first, and I'll take it to your home later!"

"Then wait a while and bring it to me." A sneer emerged from the corner of Wei Zheng's mouth, he shook off the man's hand and put the sack back on his shoulder.

At this time, the four or five idle men had unconsciously approached. "Zhengzi, we are all from the same village. We have all watched you grow up. If your uncles want to eat some meat, do you have to order it in person?" A man behind him helped and deliberately bumped Wei Zheng hard with his shoulder. .

"Why are you still afraid that we will eat you for free?"

"My baby has two months to eat meat. Even if you bring a chicken to your nephew, you should do it!" A dark and thin man took advantage of his height and bumped Wei Zheng's shoulder hard again.

Wei Zheng directly grabbed the thin black man's clothes, used his waist to drive his arms, and swung it suddenly, causing the thin black man to stumble.

"Your baby didn't eat meat? My dad had a big banquet two days ago, and your baby ate more than anyone else. How dare you say he didn't eat meat? Also, you went to eat at the big banquet. Did you pay for it?"

Wei Zheng's eyes were fierce, staring at the thin black man like a vicious wolf.

The thin black man felt that he had lost face and was about to fight Wei Zheng. But just as he was about to take action, he discovered that Wei Zheng, who was as skinny as a monkey before, was now much stronger than before.

The shoulders are thicker than before, and the muscles are gradually taking shape. The whole person has changed from the previous slump, and his temperament is like a sharp knife about to be unsheathed.

Coupled with Wei Zheng's ferocious appearance, the black man actually gave up.

"I, I gave the money to Niu Er"

"Then go ask Niu Er for it!" Wei Zheng sneered and turned his attention to the middle-aged man who stopped him in the first place.

"Uncle Liu, you can do it if you want. Half a year ago you owed my father the money for a pheasant and you didn't pay me. Give me the money for the chicken first and I will give it to you!"

"You and me." The middle-aged man seemed to be intimidated and took two steps back, making way for Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng carried the sack and walked home.

When Liu Lingling passed by, Liu Lingling stood up and seemed to want to say something, but when she saw Wei Zheng's fierce look just now, she felt a little frightened.

Wei Zheng didn't even look at Liu Lingling, and walked past her without looking sideways.

Looking at Wei Zheng's back, Liu Lingling's lips moved, and there was a hint of regret in her eyes.The resentment just now disappeared without a trace.

When she returned home, as soon as she opened the sack that Wei Zheng had brought, Bai Ling'er's pretty little face suddenly became crooked.

When Wei Zheng returned home, he was also pleasantly surprised.

In the middle of the house, I don’t know when there was a small clay stove. Before the yellow clay dried, there was a pile of firewood piled next to it.

"It's getting cold, and I don't even have a stove at home, so I built one. Tomorrow, I'll go to the woods to pick up some firewood." Bai Ling'er said, skillfully using a knife to pluck the pheasant feathers and pluck the wild pheasant feathers. The rabbit peeled off its skin, with a sweet smile on its lips.

In the evening, half a chicken stew with rice and wild vegetables was served on the table. In Wei Zheng's broken porcelain bowl, a large chicken leg was slowly steaming.

They took a bite of chicken, a spoonful of rice, and a bite of wild vegetables. The unseasoned pheasant meat was a bit fishy, ​​but both of them were very happy eating it.

"By the way, I want to send some of the chicken that I brought to Uncle Shu next door." Wei Zheng tore open a chicken leg and chewed it while putting most of the remaining chicken leg into Bai Ling'er's bowl.

Bai Ling'er put the chicken legs back together with a small voice.

"It's all up to the master," Bai Ling'er muttered.

“The boss finally got the meat”

Wei Zheng knew that Bai Ling'er was a little reluctant, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and told Bai Ling'er what happened during the day.

After hearing this, Bai Ling'er couldn't eat anymore and her face became depressed.

"Are you afraid that I will be beaten by those old guys?" Wei Zheng smiled, took out a broken bowl, and put a bowl of chicken in it.

"If they were so bloody, they wouldn't have been bullied by Niu Er for so many years." Wei Zheng said, already walking outside the house. "And Uncle Shu Biao is very helpful to us..."
