Chapter 17 Return to the Immortal Cultivation World
“Really, why are you so timid?”
At the door of Chen Lin.
Little Carrot was still crying. My aunt heard the sound and rushed over. After hearing the reason, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She wiped away the tears of her timid son, and then saw Chen Lin's return gift.
“Is this the roe deer’s water?”
Auntie is very experienced and can recognize someone at a glance.
She shook her head quickly.
"Alin, this won't work. You bought this in the city. You can't accept expensive things. It's too expensive!"
“You can catch snakes, and you’ll be fine with two of them.”
"I didn't buy it." Chen Lin put the pottery pot into his aunt's hand and helped her pick two snakes from the basket on his back. "I caught this roe deer."
“I don’t like eating these, so just give them radishes.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the stove in the room.
At this time, my aunt noticed that there was actually a roe deer placed in the corner of the stove, placed in a newly purchased basket. Half of its body was still intact, and its head was exposed...
“This...is this for hunting?!”
Auntie couldn't help being surprised and looked at the young man in front of her again.
She usually does some washing work at the wharf in the west of the county. These days when she goes home and passes by Beicheng, she often hears the hunters on both sides talk about Chen Lin.
But everyone said he only knows how to dig snake nests...
“You, why don’t you sell it?”
“This roe deer can only be sold at a high price if it is intact.”
Auntie can't think so much anymore.
A roe deer costs at least one tael of silver!
Hundreds of kilograms of rice can be exchanged for it.
It’s enough for a whole family to live a good winter month!
Why did you disembowel it like this...
Auntie felt heartbroken when she looked at it. Looking at the roe deer's wide eyes, she suddenly felt that she might as well swap herself with it and let the roe deer come to life.
The price of live roe deer is higher.
Chen Lin said with a smile: "I sold the snakes and that's enough. There's no need to sell the roe deer as well."
“After selling these large items, I usually have to buy meat from the mountain market. Roe deer meat can be sold for up to twenty cash, but it costs thirty cash per catty to buy it back.”
“Isn’t this a loss?”
Yeah, isn’t this a big loss?
Blinking her eyes, the aunt also felt that what Chen Lin said made sense.
Sell the meat and then buy meat to eat.
Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?
but…
No ordinary family would think of eating so much meat, right?
Even if a hunter catches a large quantity of goods, he will only sell them and exchange money for more grain.
Because it lasts longer.
Only when you hunt small meat like rabbit, you will eat it once in a while to satisfy your cravings.
Auntie felt that Chen Lin's idea was too strange.
But she glanced at Chen Lin and saw that he still had a smile on his face.
That morning when I opened the door, the strange feeling of seeing this young man under the sun emerged again, as if the two sides were not in the same world.
Chen Lin’s idea may not be wrong, but he just can’t understand it...
Obviously this man was poorer than his family before, but he looked like a big shot he had seen in the city from a distance before. His temperament and demeanor were very similar.
“Auntie, let me cut two more pounds of meat into the radish.”
Chen Lin turned around, picked up the kitchen knife he bought two days ago, and cut another piece of roe deer meat.
The aunt finally came to her senses, quickly declined, and returned home with the two snakes she had chosen and the basin of water.
Before leaving, I did not forget to say thank you.
Wait until she got home.
Seeing that his son was still confused, he tweaked his ears and said, "I will learn from you more, Brother Lin. He is seven or eight years older than you, so he seems to be a big shot. Maybe he can hunt strange beasts in the future." Make a lot of money and become someone like Mr. Shi..."
Auntie thought about the conversation just now and suddenly realized that the people in the mountain market talking about Chen Lin only selling snakes were not actually because he could only dig snakes.
“It’s because he doesn’t sell any other prey he catches, even if it’s a big one, he just takes it all and eats it himself.”
It’s simply…incomprehensible.
Isn’t he afraid that he will be hungry later?
… …
Chen Lin didn't know what his aunt thought.
But the arrival of her and Xiaoluobo reminded me of one thing.
That means it is still necessary to maintain neighborly relations.
Giving something as a gift during the holidays.
meaning.
This way I can feel comfortable living here.
He picked up the backpack by the door, opened the door and walked out.
There are not many people in the small village now.
Except for himself and his aunt's family, there are only three households.
One of the households was a big family. A couple gave birth to seven children, five of whom survived. The family made a living by collecting herbs and ginseng. When winter came, they rarely came out of the house.
Chen Lin came to the door and presented two quite plump yellow flowers.
The host warmly invited him to stay for dinner.
Chen Lin took one look at the food, politely declined, and received a handful of medicinal herbs of similar value as a gift in return.
Of the two remaining households, one ran away at some point, and Chen Lin missed the opportunity.
There is also an old hunter who lives alone, called Lao Chai.
His two sons were also hunters, but when they were young, they went into the mountains and were eaten by a tiger. The mother-in-law was so sad that she vomited blood and died, leaving him alone ever since.
Lao Chai always has a bad face and can't say anything good.
Chen Lin couldn't even say hello to him when he saw him occasionally in the past two months.
As a result, I knocked on Lao Chai’s door for a long time, but no one responded.
Chen Lin looked through the crack in the window and vaguely saw that no one was inside, so he felt relieved.
“Probably went into the mountains to join in the fun.”
…
…
The following days.
Chen Lin works between three o'clock and one line every day, traveling back and forth between the snowy mountains, the county town and his home.
Because the direction of Beisongling is still too lively.
So he changed his hunting place and was able to dig two snake nests at most every day, earning at least a hundred cash as a guarantee.
In addition, there is never a shortage of meat such as rabbits.
The body's vitality replenishment progress bar can increase by one level every day.
Later, he was asked to hunt a red deer.
This kind of animal is a large deer. An adult male deer can even weigh 400 to 600 pounds. Its body looks like a horse, strong and powerful.
Especially the hind limbs, which are very similar to those of horses.
Unfortunately, what he hunted was a lone doe, malnourished and only weighing a mere 180 pounds.
After this.
Chen Lin started eating without hesitation, and even worried about whether he could finish it. He cut two kilograms of meat and bones to supplement the radish. The little guy was so happy that he called him big brother, and his aunt was secretly surprised.
The time has arrived on the first day of the Lunar New Year without even realizing it.
In this world, the turn of age is also the most festive day.
Kanazawa Prefecture has recently become more popular and full of vitality than it has in a long time.
I heard that at the pier in Xicheng, wealthy families have been returning from the south on high-rise boats one after another.
Every day on the pier, you can see porters working hard to unload large and small bags into the high-rise boats, and there are also a large number of domestic slaves and maids who come to greet their nobles.
The hunters who had been unable to find the ghost-toothed pig finally evacuated the snow-capped mountains and chose to go home for the New Year, thus giving the animals on the mountains a peaceful life.
The world outside the door seems to be full of joy.
No matter whether you are rich or poor, you all have hope for the future in your heart at this time.
Chen Lin stayed alone in his room, sitting cross-legged on the inferior wooden bed he made in his free time, and slowly opened his eyes.
“I can’t hold back the breakthrough in my realm anymore. I can’t hold on for another five days at most.”
“But the body’s vitality has not been fully replenished, and it still needs at least two or three months to recuperate and replenish…”
In fact, it doesn’t matter if the foundation is almost the same.
This body has many talents, and it will not be difficult to remedy it in the future.
Chen Lin was about to sigh,
The firewood burning in the stove suddenly stopped...
