The hunter's husband is so sweet
Chapter 66: The prey was sold for a high price
Lin Chen studied for an entire afternoon and finally decided what to embroider on the other handkerchiefs. In the evening, the two men and one tiger set out to have a meal at Aunt Wang's house.
Qi Yue was bored at home that day. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't cook or embroider. Fortunately, Aunt Wang didn't expect him to do anything. She just hoped that he could find a good family and live a good life in the future.
Seeing Qi Xuan and Lin Chen coming, Qi Yue greeted them happily. Qi Xuan let him and Lin Chen play with the tiger cubs together, while he went to help Aunt Wang.
"Godmother, Xiaochen and I are here to have dinner tonight." Qi Xuan poked his head into the kitchen and saw Aunt Wang kneading dough, so he planned to wash his hands and go to help.
"Xiaoxuan is here." Aunt Wang saw him coming to help and waved her hand, "No need, I'll get it done right away and cook dumplings for you tonight."
Qi Xuan, who was kicked out, went to feed the rabbits. As he watched more and more rabbits, all he saw were spicy rabbit cubes, rabbit legs, and rabbit heads. Suddenly, the phrase "How can you eat rabbits?" popped into his head, and he shuddered.
Shaking off the messy thoughts, he decided to go and see what the two were doing. He didn't expect that Lin Chen and Qi Yue were playing with the tiger in this way?
The two of them were squatting there like puppies, Baiji was crawling in front of them, and the two of them and the tiger pounced on each other in an instant... Qi Xuan held his forehead and turned away. He should just sit there and wait for his meal.
Two days later, Lin Chen had finished embroidering the defective handkerchiefs, but Fu Jingyi and Qi Zheng had not returned yet. Qi Xuan was a little anxious, knowing that they wanted to find more prey to sell for money to buy food before the rainy season came, but it had been three days, and he didn't know if they had anything to eat in the mountains.
Until the third night, Qi Xuan lay in bed unable to sleep. He was always uneasy until Fu Jingyi came back. Not only him, Lin Chen was also very worried, but he didn't dare to show it, for fear that his brother would worry even more.
Seeing that it was almost midnight, the two of them were no longer sleepy and sat in the yard together. "Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door. Qi Xuan leaned close to the door and asked quietly, "Who?"
Fu Jingyi's voice came from the other side, "Xiaoxuan, it's me, open the door."
Qi Xuan opened the door a crack, and seeing that it was Fu Jingyi and Qi Zheng, he quickly opened the door and welcomed them in. They were both dusty, and their clothes were torn several times. After pushing the car in, Qi Zheng looked around and then closed the door.
"Why did it take so long this time?" Qi Xuan's eyes were red as she looked at the skin under the hole in his clothes. "Are you hurt? How come your clothes are torn?"
"It's okay, my clothes were just scratched by a branch." Fu Jingyi comforted Qi Xuan softly.
Lin Chen was the same. He cried and threw himself into Qi Zheng's arms, "Brother Zheng, you haven't been back for a few days. I was so worried." Qi Zheng was also a little helpless. He was so dirty and hadn't been able to wash himself in the past few days. "Xiao Chen, let me go first. I'm dirty."
"I won't." Lin Chen continued to hold her, then perhaps because he smelled Qi Zheng's scent, he let go. "It does smell a bit."
Several people laughed, Qi Xuan asked them to go to the bathroom to wash up first, and he and Lin Chen went to get something to eat. Soon, two bowls of hot tomato and egg noodles were placed in front of them, and Qi Xuan also cut a salted duck egg for them.
Fu Jingyi and Qi Zheng were eating without saying a word, obviously they were really hungry. "Eat slowly, there's more in the pot." Qi Xuan was afraid that they would choke. Seeing that they had finished eating, Qi Xuan wanted to serve them more, but Fu Jingyi said, "Okay, Xiaoxuan, Brother Zheng and I will take care of the prey first, otherwise I'm afraid they will suffocate to death."
Qi Xuan looked at the full car, but it was too dark for him to see clearly. When Fu Jingyi and the others were sorting, they realized that there were a lot of things. He saw a bag on the ground, and he didn't know what was inside it was still moving. Just as he was about to reach out to take it, he was grabbed by Fu Jingyi, "Xiao Xuan, don't move, there is a snake in it."
This sentence made Qi Xuan and Lin Chen take several steps back. Qi Xuan has always been afraid of snakes, and his voice was trembling. "Brother Yi, why are you catching snakes? I don't know how to do it. I'm afraid."
Seeing that they were scared, Fu Jingyi tied the bag tighter. The burlap bag was very breathable, so he was not afraid that the snakes would suffocate. He then found a basket to cover it. "The gallbladders of these snakes can be used as medicine, and the rich men also like to eat snake meat, saying it is a great tonic."
Qi Zheng also agreed, "Yes, these are worth a lot of money."
After packing up, Qi Xuan didn't let Qi Zheng leave. It was so late and Aunt Wang and the others had gone to bed, so Qi Zheng stayed here for one night. There was a room anyway. So they discussed going to the town early tomorrow morning when there were still few people, and buying more food after exchanging silver.
Qi Xuan and Lin Chen were also going to go. Lin Chen had just finished embroidering her handkerchief and could give it to the shopkeeper. Qi Xuan also wanted to buy him some better embroidery thread. After everyone decided, they all went to bed. It looked like they would be busy tomorrow, so they had to take the time to rest.
When it was just daybreak, they set off. Qi Xuan found a large piece of sackcloth to cover the car to avoid having to explain too much to the villagers he met.
When they arrived at the town, it was still early, so they went to find a place to have some breakfast. When the door of the guest house opened, they went directly to the backyard. Shopkeeper Wu heard from the waiter that Fu Jingyi had arrived and was also waiting in the backyard.
"Brother, what good stuff are in that cart?" Shopkeeper Wu's eyes lit up when he saw the cart full of prey from afar.
Fu Jingyi and Qi Zheng unloaded the prey from the car, including three sheep and two deer. What Qi Xuan didn't expect was that there were two foxes at the bottom.
When Shopkeeper Wu saw the fox, he could not contain his excitement. His boss's birthday was coming, and the shopkeepers of the reception buildings in various places were trying their best to show their courtesy and collect all kinds of rare toys.
If he used the fur to make a cloak, even though it couldn't be worn now, it would be perfect for the cold winter. Having made up his mind, Shopkeeper Wu looked at the two foxes with a determined look in his eyes.
Fu Jingyi is also a man of loyalty and righteousness. It was Shopkeeper Wu who was willing to help him when he was in the most difficult time. So even if there are buyers who offer a higher price, he doesn't care. He sends everything he hunts here first.
Shopkeeper Wu didn't waste any more words, "Brother, I want all of them, especially the fox. I hope it has no wounds."
Qi Zheng held the fox's tail and said, "We caught them after knocking them unconscious. There are no wounds. We suffocated them to death."
Fu Jing had already taken out the snake skin bag. "Brother, I still have a few snakes here. They are all non-venomous. You can make snake soup with them without worry. If you want to take them, I can help you deal with them. I have to take the snake gallbladder away, so that the old doctor won't always say that I don't remember him."
Shopkeeper Wu also knew the relationship between Doctor Zhang and Fu Jingyi. He really had no use for the snake gallbladder, so he nodded and took it all. "Brother, you deal with the snake first, I'll go get the silver." Shopkeeper Wu didn't mention how much silver it was, and went to find the accountant. Fu Jingyi and Qi Zheng went to the kitchen to deal with the snake, leaving Qi Xuan and Lin Chen sitting in the courtyard.
It was the first time for both of them to see a fox, and they were so curious that they kept staring at it. Lin Chen whispered to Qi Xuan, "Brother, I heard that rich people use fox fur to make clothes, saying that it is very warm."
Qi Xuan thought about it and thought it was just like a mink coat in modern times. Unfortunately, he had never bought one and didn't know if it was really warm. "If you want one, ask me to catch it for you next time."
Lin Chen shook his head and said, "I don't want it. I think it's weird. I don't know what those rich people are thinking." Qi Xuan also nodded in agreement.
Before Fu Jingyi and the others came back, Shopkeeper Wu came first, still holding a box. This time he did not hand it to them directly, but opened it in front of them, "Brother, let's not talk nonsense. Those two foxes really helped me a lot. One thousand taels each. Here are two thousand taels of silver notes. Take them first."
Qi Xuan was stunned. What did he mean by two thousand taels? Did he hear wrongly? Was he dreaming? Just those two foxes? Two thousand taels? Lin Chen was also stunned. The most money he had ever seen in his life was after living with Qi Xuan. Now two thousand taels appeared before his eyes...
At this time, Fu Jingyi and Qi Zheng also came back. Seeing the two stupid boys, they were a little puzzled. Shopkeeper Wu was also helpless, "Brother Fu, these two foxes are two thousand taels. The three sheep and two deer are five hundred taels, and the snakes are one hundred taels."
As he spoke, he stuffed the banknotes into Qi Xuan and Lin Chen's hands, "A total of two thousand six hundred taels."
Not to mention Qi Xuan and Lin Chen, Fu Jingyi was a little shocked. He didn't expect the fox to be so valuable. He was a little upset. He had let it go several times when he met it when he went up the mountain. If he had known it was so valuable, he...
After Qi Xuan came to his senses, he looked at Fu Jingyi somewhat at a loss. The money was a bit hot to handle, so Lin Chen stuffed it all into Qi Xuan's hands immediately.
"Take it." Fu Jingyi took the banknotes and put them close to him. After exchanging a few words with Shopkeeper Wu, they left.
