Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 10: Deposits Surge

Jiang Yue looked at the sky.

Because he and Xiaotian were very fast, they went into the mountain and came out before it was dark. There was still an hour before the sun set, which was just the right time for them to go to the town to sell the mountain products.

"Xiaotian, just stay at home. I'm going to town."

Jiang Yue pointed at the door and signaled Xiaotian to guard the house.

"Wang-"

Xiaotian shouted, indicating that he understood.

Wang Xiao and the eldest son of the Lin family have already set their eyes on his precious bow. As local gentry and hooligans, they are capable of anything and might sneak in when he is not at home.

Jiang Yue felt relieved with Xiaotian looking after the house.

Jiang Yue packed up the musk deer skins and trotters, stuffed them into a sack, put on his precious bow, and set off with the sack.

crunch--

The door was closed and Jiang Yue locked it from the outside.

A biting dog doesn't bark. After Jiang Yue left, Xiaotian entered a state of alert, extremely focused. He lay in the doghouse without making any sound, but his ears were moving, and it was obvious that he was listening to the movements around him.

If someone climbed over the wall, Xiaotian would probably bite him.
-
Qingyang Town.

Ever since Jiang Yue acquired the ability to hold treasures and lead sheep, his memory for routes has become extraordinary. He will remember every road he has walked on firmly in his mind and will not make any mistakes the next time he walks on it.

In this way, he followed the route led by Grandpa Jiang Cong and easily found the hunting ground with animal fur flying all over the sky.

The only thing that was a little different today was that a new piece of land was demarcated opposite the Lin’s Hunting Market, and a new Luo’s Hunting Market was opened there, competing with the Lin’s Hunting Market. Moreover, this newly opened hunting market was bustling with people, and was obviously much more lively than the Lin’s Hunting Market.

"Old One-Armed?"

Jiang Yue saw the old man sitting in the newly opened hunting ground collecting the goods.

Isn’t this the one-armed old man who stopped them to buy goods yesterday?

In addition to the one-armed old man, there were several middle-aged men with calloused hands who followed him and helped him appraise the goods.

"It turns out that he stopped people from buying goods in order to build momentum in the early stages, and then open a new hunting ground to collect mountain goods."

Jiang Yue understood what was going on, and was secretly shocked. He wondered where the Luo family, to which this one-armed old man belonged, came from, and how they dared to go against the Lin family in Qingyang Town.

But this is a good thing for hunters like them.

Only when there are more buyers can the mountain products be sold at a good price. Before, when the Lin family was the only one in the market, the price was too low, and there was no choice but to sell to the Lin family.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue picked up the sack and walked into the newly opened Luo's Hunting Ground in two steps.

After waiting in line for a quarter of an hour, Jiang Yue arrived in front of the one-armed old man.

The old one-armed man raised his head and looked at Jiang Yue. He was slightly stunned and recognized Jiang Yue.

Because there were no extra wounds on the musk deer skin that Jiang Cong sold to him yesterday, only the eye socket bones had traces left by the bow and arrow, which showed that the old hunter had superb archery skills and the arrow went into the eye socket.

And judging from the marks on the bones, it was at least shot with a crossbow.

In the eyes of the old one-armed man, Jiang Cong had white hair and beard, but he could still shoot a stone bow, and he must have been a brave man when he was young.

Therefore, the old one-armed man was deeply impressed by Jiang Cong and his grandson.

"Let me take a look at the goods first."

The one-armed old man wiped his hands, which were covered with animal hair and blood, from his linen clothes, smiled and took the sack handed over by Jiang Yue, took it to the shed, took a closer look, and was overjoyed.

Two more top-quality musk deer skins!

"Good stuff, let's negotiate a price."

The old one-armed man grinned at Jiang Yue, stretched out his one arm, and motioned Jiang Yue to pick up the sackcloth beside him and cover the hands of the two men.

A musk deer skin costs about two hundred coins, but Jiang Yue's musk deer skin has no scratches at all and is of excellent quality, so it can be sold for three hundred coins.

The two men gestured to each other under the sackcloth and quickly agreed on a price.

Six hundred coins!
"The old man is generous!"

Jiang Yue smiled.

"Haha, the bid yesterday was too low."

The old one-armed man ordered his men to count the money, pulled Jiang Yue over, and whispered, "I wonder if this deer skin can be supplied for a long time?"

"Sure. At least two every day."

Jiang Yue agreed immediately.

Who would complain about having too little money?

"Every day?"

The old one-armed man was stunned. Thinking that Jiang Cong didn't look like he could go into the mountains every day, he asked in surprise, "Excuse me, young man, was this musk deer hunted by your grandfather or you?" "I did."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly.

This made the old one-armed man even more surprised.

Unexpectedly, these musk deer were all hunted by Jiang Yue!

The old one-armed man looked Jiang Yue up and down. It seemed that Jiang Yue was still young and about fifteen or sixteen years old. His cheeks were a little dark due to frequent walking in the mountains and being exposed to wind and rain, but his facial features were regular and handsome, and he looked heroic.

At such an age, he has such great archery skills and can even shoot a stone with his bow. It's really amazing!
Enough to be worthy of being called a young hero.

The old one-armed man sighed in his heart and said with a smile: "That's it, I'll buy whatever you have! Luo's family will buy any mountain products!"

"okay!"

Jiang Yue agreed.

The two chatted for a few more sentences and learned each other's names, until the clerk finished counting the money and handed the purse to Jiang Yue, which contained exactly 600 coins.

Jiang Yue took inventory and left quickly and efficiently, feeling very good.

With today's income of 600 coins, plus yesterday's 400 coins, Jiang Yue already has one or two taels of silver in his hand!
There is absolutely no problem with the hunting tax next month.

It is late autumn and winter is coming soon. If I save more money, I will probably be able to get through this winter safely and even have a prosperous new year!
Jiang Yue returned to Funiu Village in the afterglow of the setting sun and happened to meet Jiang Cong who came to call him for dinner.

"grandfather!"

Jiang Yue hurried over.

"Hmm? Jiro, it's already dinner time, where are you going?"

Jiang Cong said in surprise.

"Hey, I went to town."

Jiang Yue took out his purse, waved it in front of Jiang Cong, took out the key and unlocked the door, "Grandpa, come in, I'll put the money away and we'll go eat. If I go into the mountains a few more times, we won't have to worry about winter."

"You kid, you sneaked into the mountain without telling anyone."

Jiang Cong blamed him, but then he felt relieved. When he was young and strong, and his hunting skills were improving, he wanted to spend every day in the mountains and forests. He also had such an experience.

It's just that the Jiang family was at its peak at that time, and he was young and energetic, arrogant and conceited. Now that the Jiang family is in decline, Jiang Yue has traveled through dangerous mountains and forests to share the burden for the family.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cong's old eyes became moist, and he felt sorry for the child.

"Grandpa, be careful. I have a dog. Please recognize it."

Jiang Yue called out, "Xiaotian, come here and recognize me."

Hearing this, Xiaotian ran over with his tongue hanging out, shaking his head, and wagging his tail happily, circling between Jiang Yue and Jiang Cong.

It could smell the scent of Jiang Yue on Jiang Cong, and could also hear the kindness in the conversation, so it had been waiting in the doghouse.

If Jiang Yue hadn't been talking to someone, it would have pounced on him and started playing around.

"Hiss—what a strong and sturdy dog."

The complex emotions in Jiang Cong's heart were suddenly cleared away, and he looked at Xiaotian who was having fun in the yard in surprise.

Jiang Cong had never seen such a strong greyhound in his life.

"Erlang, where did you get such a fine greyhound?"

Jiang Cong squatted down, touched the dog's head and marveled: "The claw bones are strong, the shoulders are as high as the waist, the fur is shiny and smooth, and it is very human. If it is put in the Qing County hunting market, it will cost at least 20 taels of silver."

"Is it so expensive?"

Jiang Yue was shocked.

"Wang-"

Xiaotian called out to Jiang Yue, his voice sounded resentful, as if he was worried.

"Hahahaha, I won't sell it to you even for a hundred or a thousand taels."

Jiang Yue laughed loudly and rubbed the dog's head happily. Xiaotian then put his worries aside and started licking it with his big tongue.

"Grandpa, I met Xiaotian when I went into the mountains today. He was injured by a black panther. I fed him some pheasants. After he ate four or five pheasants, his injuries were almost healed. Then I brought him back. I was thinking of taking Xiaotian with me to guard the house and go hunting in the mountains."

Jiang Yue slowly recounted what happened during the day, and Jiang Cong listened attentively from the side.

After Jiang Yue finished speaking, Jiang Cong said with emotion: "Erlang, are you favored by the mountain god? This luck is really amazing. Xiaotian is also a good name."

"but."

Jiang Cong changed the subject and gave Jiang Yue a slap on the head, angrily saying: "But. Why did you go into the mountains by yourself? Do you know how dangerous it is? Can your body withstand it?"
