When Xu Xingxia saw his uncle's expression, he knew that he was still a little disbelieving. He smiled inwardly and didn't explain. In fact, if he were Liu Guangliang, I am afraid that he would be equally surprised. Who would have thought that the eldest son of the Xu family would be able to hunt a red deer? There are so many clever hunters in Weizhen Fort, none of them can hunt red deer, how can the eldest son of the Xu family have such luck and such ability?

Sure enough, Liu Guangliang couldn't help but ask, "Xia Zi, is this really what you shot?" ”

Xu Xingxia nodded and said steadily: "Uncle, it is indeed the red deer I shot." ”

Xu Xudong couldn't wait to say: "My brother is so powerful, he killed the big red deer with one arrow." ”

Liu Guangliang had to believe it, he walked up, circled around the red deer that fell to the ground, and said with a sigh of praise: "It's really a fatal arrow!" Natsuko, when did your archery skills become so good? Red deer is a very clever thing. The people in the fort tried to attack the red deer several times, but they didn't have a chance. For more than ten years, no one has hunted red deer. I didn't expect to open meat for you! ”

Xu Xingxia naturally won't reveal his eccentricity. In fact, he himself hasn't fully figured out what is going on, how can he easily reveal it to others? Even the most affectionate person, he won't tell. He said casually: "Maybe I'm lucky." Fuyuko spotted the red deer, so I quietly leaned up and shot it with one arrow. ”

Liu Guangliang didn't ask in detail, his mind was on the red deer. He was right, the people of Fort Weizhen had indeed not hunted red deer for more than ten years. This is indeed a great good thing for the Xu family who are in a difficult situation. The relationship between the Xu and Liu families is close, and the situation of the Xu family has improved, which is also beneficial to the Liu family.

He dragged the red deer a few times and said happily: "Such a big red deer, there is only such a wound on the deer skin, and the loss of deer blood is very small. I estimate that in our Weizhen Fort, we can sell it for at least a hundred taels of silver. If it is pulled to Pingyu City, it can be sold for at least one hundred and thirty taels. Natsuko, you're going to get rich. ”

Xu Xingxia said casually: "Uncle said that he laughed, where can I sell so much?" ”

Liu Guangliang said seriously: "Xia Zi, you don't understand this. The value of deerskin, let's not talk about it for the time being, everyone knows it. Venison was originally very precious, and only high-ranking officials could afford to eat it. I once heard the pharmacy owner in Pingyu City say that there was a person named Li Shizhen who wrote a book called What is the Compendium, which mentioned that deer antlers, deer whips, deer fetuses, deer blood, deer hearts, deer kidneys, deer tendons, venison, deer bones, etc. can all be used in medicine. In other words, this red deer can be sold for money all over the body, inside and out......"

Xu Xingxia nodded to be taught. Coming from later generations, he naturally understands the value of red deer. This time, he can indeed make a small fortune. Of course, the hunt for red deer is not over, and the red deer has to be sold. He turned to his two cousins and said, "Come, big Tsubaki, little Tsubaki, let's do it together and carry it back!" ”

As he spoke, he crouched down and pulled the black-feathered arrow out of the red deer's neck. After taking a closer look, I found that the arrow of the black feather arrow was not damaged, and after wiping off the bloodstains, it should be able to be used again. Xu Xingxia wiped the black feather arrow with the grass next to him to wipe the deer blood, and then inserted it back into the quiver behind him.

"Great!"

Brothers Liu Dachun and Liu Xiaochun, who were attracted by this huge red deer, hurriedly woke up when they heard this. The two agreed, and began to get busy. They ran ropes under the red deer, tied the red deer, and threaded it with poles. The weight of the red deer was estimated to be five or six hundred catties, and they wrapped the rope several times. The four of them worked together, and finally tied up the red deer, and then lifted it up vigorously.

"Go back! I have meat to eat today! ”

Niu Niu happily clapped her palms in front of her.

Xu Xudong also excitedly carried his firewood and followed behind the red deer.

Red deer are large and naturally eye-catching. Xu Xingxia and his entourage came back from the woods, and the people they met on the road all expressed surprise and envy, and many people stopped to inquire about it. Hearing that the red deer was killed by the eldest son of the Xu family, many people were unabashedly dumbfounded. If they hadn't seen this huge red deer being carried back by Xu Xingxia's family, they wouldn't have believed it.

By the time I returned to Fort Weizhen, the news had already spread, and many people, as well as a large group of children, were all at the gate of the fort, waiting to see the excitement. The most active were the children, who had been rushing up and crowding around the red deer. There are children who pull the tail of the red deer, there are children who hold the antlers of the red deer, and there are children who stroke the body of the red deer. It's been a long time since something so lively has happened at Fort Willtown.

"What do you say? Red deer? ”

"The eldest son of the Xu family hunted a red deer?"

"Impossible, right? The eldest son of the Xu family, can he hunt a red deer? ”

"Impossible! If he can hunt a red deer, I can hunt a leopard! ”

……

I heard that it was the eldest son of the Xu family who hunted a red deer, and almost all the people didn't believe it. The group of people who pointed at Xu Xingxia in the store before were all dumbfounded, shaking their heads again and again, thinking that this news was too ridiculous. Especially some people who have met with red deer are even more sure, this is definitely a rumor.

The ability of the eldest son of the Xu family, they don't know it. Three fists can't hit a fart guy. In Weizhen Fort, there are people whose kung fu is better than Xu Xingxia, even if there are not three hundred, at least two hundred. With Xu Xingxia's ability, as well as his timid and fearful surname, not to mention hunting a red deer, being hunted by a red deer is almost the same.

"Oh my God, it's really a red deer......"

"I'm not dazzled, am I? That's really a red deer......"

"Oh my God! The eldest son of the Xu family really hunted a red deer......"

……

It wasn't until Xu Xingxia appeared in front of them with a bow and arrow, carrying a red deer, and holding his head high, that they had to believe that Xu Xingxia had indeed hunted a red deer. This time, it is really feng shui in turn, and it is the turn of the Xu family. Many people in Weizhen Fort are all looking at me and I looking at you, with suspicion and envy on their faces. I really didn't expect that the eldest son of the Xu family would become so powerful silently.

"What do you say? Xia Er hunted a red deer? ”

The Wang family has also learned the news, and it was Liu Guangliang's family who sent someone to inform him. Like everyone else, Wang didn't believe that his son could hunt a red deer. It took a long time for her to believe that this was not someone else's pastime for her, but to see the Xu family's jokes. She stood anxiously at the fort gate, waiting for her son to return.

"It's true......"

"Xia Er really hunted a red deer......"

When she saw her son, Liu Guangliang and others appear carrying a red deer, she believed that all this was true. His own son, his son who has no ability, is surnamed and cowardly, really hunted a red deer. For a moment, she had the feeling of being hit by a pie in the sky. The Xu family is about to run when the time comes.

Almost at this moment, Wang felt that the way others looked at him was very different. In the past, when others looked at themselves, they looked down from a high place. Now, their vision has changed to looking up from a low place. These two different visions bring Wang two completely different feelings.

"Da Da Da!"

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came.

Before Xu Xingxia and the others returned to the fort gate, a carriage drove out from the inside of Weizhen Fort and rushed in the direction of Pingyu City. The people in the carriage suddenly discovered something, ordered the carriage to stop, and then slowly turned back, just in front of Xu Xingxia and the others. The curtain was lifted, and a fat merchant got out of the carriage.

Neither in Fort Weizhen nor in Pingyu City, there were no private carriages. The people here are basically military households, and those who have the conditions go in and out on horseback. It's really not good, that is, get a few sedan chairs and use them for your family. The cost of the carriage is still too high, and the average large family cannot afford it.

In the whole town of Ningxia, there is only one kind of person who likes to ride in a carriage, and that is the merchant from Shanxi, which is the so-called Jin merchant. The Jin merchants were the first to enter Ningxia Town, which has a very strong foundation here. All walks of life in Ningxia Town are inseparable from the shadow of Jin merchants. Bulk commodities such as grain, coarse salt, and furs were basically monopolized by Jin merchants.

This person who got off the carriage, his name was Sun Dakun, and he was indeed a Jin merchant doing business in Ningxia. He wasn't very old, only in his thirties. He was the resident representative of the Shanxi Jiexiu Sun family in Ningxia Town, and was responsible for the purchase of leather goods from all over Ningxia Town. He was in the carriage when he accidentally caught a glimpse of the red deer and hurriedly ordered to turn around and come back. Sun Dakun circled around the red deer and said bluntly: "One hundred taels, do you want to sell it?" ”

If it were in normal times, Sun Dakun would not make such an offer. Jin Shang's slamming of the door, which is famous, a copper plate has to be broken in half. Today, though, it's an exception entirely. He was about to visit an important guest in Ningxia City today, and he never had a good gift in his hand. He went to Fort Weizhen tirelessly, but found no satisfactory gift. When he was depressed, he suddenly saw this red deer, and his mind immediately became active.

Deer antlers, venison, deer blood, deer fetuses and the like, Sun Dakun is not rare. The rarest thing about him is the skin of this red deer. If you give an experienced craftsman to an experienced craftsman, you can make at least ten pairs of deerskin boots. This is the favorite thing of dignitaries. If there is a living red deer that they can see with their own eyes, it is a real deerskin, then the meaning is even more extraordinary.
