The old man who took in Wang Junlin's surname was Chen, and he had a pair of children, and his son was named Chen Xiaoliu, in his early twenties, two years younger than Wang Junlin. Her daughter's name is Chen Rouniang, fifteen years old, with a pair of big black eyes, very cute.

Chen Rouniang helped Wang Junlin clean the wooden house, blushed and ran out with her head down.

Outside the wooden house, the old man Chen smiled very happily, but Wang Junlin smiled bitterly in his heart, he had already guessed that the old man wanted to make himself his son-in-law, although he was very grateful to the Chen family for taking him in, but he did not have the slightest idea of being a son-in-law.

In this era, the first meal, Wang Junlin ate at Old Man Chen's house, the latter took the initiative to invite, he was unceremoniously, as for the peeking or considering eyes on the dinner table, Wang Junlin was directly ignored.

After eating, he returned to the wooden house and lay down, and Wang Junlin took out the blood jade pendant and studied it. Wang Junlin remembered that blood jade is not natural, it refers to the jade that has penetrated the blood, whether it is jade, Khotanese jade, or topaz and other categories, as long as it is really penetrated with blood, it can be regarded as blood jade.

"Could it be that the blood color in this piece of jade is also because of the blood, but how much blood does it have to penetrate to make the whole piece of jade blood."

After playing and studying for a long time, except for feeling unusually cold, Wang Junlin didn't find anything special about the Blood Jade Pendant.

took out the scroll of animal skin, the words on it were not Chinese characters, but more like a symbol, Wang Junlin didn't know any of them, but he faintly felt that it was extraordinary, and he couldn't look at people easily, so he put it away with the blood jade.

Where do we go from here? Wang Junlin needs to think about it. Of course, the first thing to be solved at the moment is to eat and dress, which is the most basic problem, and he cannot live on the relief of the villagers.

The scene of the brocade-clothed young man robbing the people's daughter during the day left a deep impression on Wang Junlin. He learned from the Chen family's father and son that the young man's name was Zhang Hongmeng, a son of a family, relying on his family background, rampant and domineering, spoiling a yellow flower girl every month, and after he got tired of playing, he sold it to the Qinglou. Someone once went to the county government to sue him, but he was fine, and the person who sued him died tragically on the street the next day.

Wang Junlin understands that historical records can never represent the truth, not to mention that the ancient Chinese have always exaggerated their language. For example, although the world is stable, it is far from reaching the level where the state, county, and county officials are clean and the people live and work in peace and contentment. What's more, the Sui Dynasty was influenced by the Wei and Jin Dynasty Jiupin Zhongzheng System, and the hierarchy between the nobles and the common people was extremely clear, the exaggerated privileges of the aristocratic families, and the various appalling injustices of the common people.

In short, this is an era when the lives of commoners are as cheap as dogs, which makes Wang Junlin, who is just a commoner, or even a black household, feel safe?

Wang Junlin has already asked, there are three main ways for villagers to make a living - farming, hunting and silkworm weaving, he can't farm, let alone raise silkworms and weave cloth, and he doesn't want to learn, because this kind of life can never change the fate of being a mermaid. He plans to get the first pot of gold by hunting, and after ensuring food and clothing, he will arm himself and have a certain ability to protect himself, and then make plans.

……

As soon as the sky was bright, Wang Junlin couldn't wait to take the hunting bow and firewood knife borrowed from Old Man Chen, and went out wearing the old clothes and shoes given by Chen Xiaoliu.

When the year is bad in the fields, the villagers will also go into the mountains to hunt, but because there are many fierce beasts in this mountain, hunting is dangerous after all, and no one wants to hunt unless they are brave or hungry and are forced to be helpless. And Wang Junlin is not only a high artist and bold, but also hungry.

Wang Junlin was originally a veteran special forces in his later life, and later joined the world's third-ranked Agni Mercenary Group by chance.

This was not the first time that Wang Junlin had used a bow and arrow, and in later generations he often used a bow to shoot arrows equipped with miniature bombs to kill targets. So, his archery skills are also very good. In addition, once in order to complete a special task, he also practiced horseback riding, and even participated in a folk horse riding competition in Inner Mongolia. Therefore, Wang Junlin can be regarded as a skilled archer.

Although he was poorly dressed and armed, Wang Junlin was as tall as a spear and agile as a wolf. After asking the Chen family father and son last night, Wang Junlin's choice of hunting place for himself was the mountain range north of Shetang Village, because the peaks and veins here are longitudinal and horizontal, the valley is deep, the forest is dense, and wild beasts often haunt it.

Half an hour later, Wang Junlin came to a quiet valley, the valley was lined with dense forests on both sides, and towering ancient trees abounded.

Wang Junlin's eyes were like electricity, and he suddenly saw a shadow flashing in the bushes fifty meters away, this is a male red-bellied golden pheasant, dragging long colored tail feathers, very gorgeous, Chen Xiaoliu told him last night, a red-bellied golden pheasant tail feather can be sold for ten yuan.

What Wang Junlin needs most now is money, and he chased after him like a cheetah with a kick on his feet.

Three years of special forces devil training and three years of mercenary career have made his physical fitness and fighting far beyond ordinary people.

The distance was quickly shortened, the red-bellied golden pheasant felt the danger, and quickly accelerated and was about to fly into the dense forest and shrubs to escape, but Wang Junlin had already wound up and pulled the bow in the running, buzzing, the arrow was like a meteor, and the red-bellied golden pheasant screamed and fell from mid-air.

Wang Junlin was overjoyed in his heart, and ran over to pick up his first prey, this red-bellied golden pheasant has thirteen beautiful tail feathers, which means that a hanging of thirty dollars has been received.

Just as he was about to pull out the tail feathers of the red-bellied brocade, and the meat was roasted and eaten, Wang Junlin's face suddenly changed, the bow and arrow in his hand were quickly wound, and he turned around and shot an arrow backwards without hesitation, and the whole process was completed in one go.

Almost at the same time, a ferocious leopard leaped up from the bushes five paces behind him and pounced on him.

This is a male adult leopard, and the bloody smell of the blood of the red-bellied golden pheasant attracts it.

The Golden Leopard was extremely good at lurking and sneak attacking, but it didn't expect Wang Junlin to be so sensitive in his ears and eyes, to detect it in advance, and to strike so decisively. Now that it was in mid-air, the distance between it and Wang Junlin was so short, and it was caught off guard, how could it dodge the arrow in Wang Junlin's hand.

With a pop, the long arrow shot half an inch deep from the forehead of the golden leopard, blood splashed, and the golden leopard's body was stunned in the scream, but it fell steadily to the ground.

Wang Junlin secretly shouted that it was a pity, the strength of this bow and the sharpness of the arrow were too bad, otherwise this arrow would have killed the golden leopard just now.

At the same time, Wang Junlin took the opportunity to retreat sharply and distanced himself, and the injured beast was the most dangerous.

Sure enough, the great pain made the golden leopard furious, let out an earth-shattering roar, and swooped down on Wang Junlin again in desperation.

However, at the moment when the leopard jumped up, Wang Junlin's second arrow had already been shot out, this time he was deliberately aiming, the target was the left eye of the leopard, but this time the leopard was also prepared, it shook its head, and actually dodged the arrow, kicked its hind limbs, and pounced on Wang Junlin again from a few feet away......

At this time, Wang Junlin had no time to shoot the third arrow, threw away the longbow, pulled out the firewood knife and slashed at the cheetah, his knife skills were tempered from life and death battles again and again, there were no cumbersome moves, just two words - fast and accurate.

The knife is as fast as lightning, but the leopard is also known for its speed in the beast world, only to see it swing in the air, like a flying shadow, even faster than Wang Junlin's knife, not only dodged the killing blow, but also leaned over, front paws pounced on Wang Junlin's head, sharp canine teeth opened, and bit Wang Junlin's throat fiercely.

Wang Junlin roared, and at the moment before the leopard's claws touched his body, his body suddenly fell backwards, causing the golden leopard to just pounce in the air, and at the same time as he fell, the firewood knife in his hand had already been pushed upwards with all his might.

The abdominal defense of the four-limbed animal is usually the weakest in the whole body, and the golden leopard is no exception, snorting, the golden leopard roared in pain, and was disemboweled, and the blood poured down like water, and the intestines also fell out, Wang Junlin rolled on a donkey, dodged to the side, and the corpse of the golden leopard fell to the ground.

Wang Junlin lay on the ground panting rapidly, from the appearance of the leopard to being killed by him, although it was only a short time of four or five breaths, but the physical energy and spirit he spent were really a lot.

……

An hour later, Wang Junlin carried two leopard legs and returned to Shetang Village with a leopard skin, which caused a sensation in the whole village, and the villagers gathered around to watch.

Wang Junlin originally wanted to go directly to the town, but he didn't know the way and was not familiar with the situation, so he came back to ask Chen Xiaoliu to take him there.

Leaving the two leopard legs to the Chen family and the villagers who helped him yesterday, Wang Junlin and Chen Xiaoliu rushed to Maiji Town.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the east end of Maiji Town, they were surrounded by seven or eight merchants who specialized in buying furs. Money leopard skins are precious and scarce, and after being purchased, they can be processed a little and sent to the county seat or county town, and the price can easily be doubled.

"This brother, is he willing to pay a hundred dollars to buy this leopard skin?" A middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper spoke first.

The five baht money of the Sui Dynasty is also called the five baht of the emperor, one hundred dollars, and ordinary people can live for a month with four or five hanging money, and this time Wang Junlin was lucky and hunted an extremely valuable money leopard, which is considered to be a windfall.

Wang Junlin shook his head and said, "A hundred hangs are not for sale!" ”

Before coming, Old Man Chen said that this leopard skin could be sold for at least two hundred hangs in Maiji Town, and this person actually bid one hundred hangings, how could he agree.

"I'll hang one hundred and fifty!" Someone else is bidding.

Wang Junlin's reserve price was two hundred hangs, but he was ready to offer three hundred hangings, and then bargain with these people.

At this time, someone in the distance shouted: "People in front of you dodge, don't get in the way!" ”

The onlookers on the street dodged away one after another, only to see a group of knights in armor coming, led by a burly and strong figure, a bright light armor with extraordinary might, and eyes as sharp as a knife. Half a step behind him was a thin scribe in a long robe, with a look of wisdom in his eyes.
