Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Sheng Xuan and Zhang Qingfeng were pulling the raft, and the noise they made was so loud that it startled the deer.

"Action, remember, we only move around here, don't chase them." Xiao Lan said as she drew her bow and shot an arrow. The arrow pierced the neck of a deer, and the deer fell to the ground.

Sheng Xuan and Zhang Qingfeng also started shooting arrows. Some of them shot arrows at deer, but the deer ran away with them. No one was killed with one arrow. The two wanted to chase the injured deer, but Xiao Lan stopped them. "There are many wild animals in the mountains. If you chase them, you may get into the deep mountains. In that case, you may not kill the deer, but lose your life instead."

The two men finally came to their senses. They had been overwhelmed by the prey. Fortunately, Xiao Lan reminded them in time, otherwise the two of them might have really died here.

Sheng Xuan and Zhang Qingfeng dragged the hunted deer over and threw them onto the raft. There were two deer in total, both hunted by Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan was very satisfied with the result, "Not bad, we have a good harvest this time, let's not waste time, let's go down the mountain quickly."

Sheng Xuan was a little frustrated. He actually shot one, but missed the target and hit a deer. The deer ran away to the forest with the arrow. "Girl, continue to teach me archery when we get home."

"No problem, Dad, you just don't use the arrows often enough. Slowly accumulate experience and you will be able to hunt prey." Xiao Lan encouraged, "Now that the harvest is bad, it is good to practice archery more. If our family is robbed, we can still be ready for battle."

"Let's talk about this when we get home. Let's get down the mountain quickly. The animals on the mountain have sharp noses. The smell of blood here is too strong. Don't attract them here again." Zhang Qingfeng said.

Although Zhang Qingfeng didn't shoot the deer, he had a good mentality. His idea was similar to Sheng Xuan's. He would practice archery hard after returning home and couldn't fall too far behind Xiao Lan.

The three of them stopped talking and walked very fast. When they finally walked out of the forest in the evening, Xiao Lan was almost exhausted. Xiao Lan thought that she had not been active enough recently, and this trip to the mountain really made her very tired.

"I'll go back and push the cart. Brother-in-law, you and Xiaolan stay here to watch the prey." Sheng Xuan said to the two.

"Okay." The two responded in succession.

The uncle and nephew did not dare to leave the forest. They found a secluded place to hide the prey and themselves. This year was not a good year, and they were afraid that the prey would be taken away. At present, there were only two of them, and they were weak and outnumbered, so it was safer to hide.

Soon, Shengxuan Zhang Shanfeng and Zhang Qingnian arrived in a carriage. Xiaolan and Zhang Qingfeng heard the voices and walked out of the woods after confirming that they were from their own family.

Sheng Xuan had already told his family about hunting a wild boar, two roe deer, and two deer. When Zhang Shanfeng drove over in a horse-drawn carriage, Sheng Xuan told her family about how Xiao Lan hunted the prey, which made her grandfather and second uncle gasp in amazement.

After the family pulled the prey back and Zhang Shanfeng and Zhang Qingnian unloaded the prey into the yard, Xiaolan Shengxuan and Zhang Qingfeng were called to the kitchen by the women in the family. It turned out that they had already prepared brown sugar ginger soup. Each person had a big bowl of it. After drinking it, they broke out in sweat.

All the deer hunted were male deer. There was a saying among the people that the emperor hunted deer to drink their blood, and the empress hunted deer to eat their fetuses. Xiao Lan knew that deer were very valuable when she sold them to Tianxianglou.

Now that Tianxianglou is closed, they can't ask Zhao Dongjia to sell it. Xiaolan thought of the medicinal value of deer and said, "Dad, let's ask Bao, the shopkeeper of Chunshengtang, if he will buy it tomorrow. It will be enough for us to keep a wild boar and two roe deer at home."

Sheng Xuan also knew that the whole body of a deer is a treasure. Rich people would spend a lot of money to buy antlers and deer penises, and sometimes they are not available. "Okay, I will accompany you to Chunshengtang tomorrow. He will definitely buy antlers and deer penises. If he doesn't buy venison, we can eat it ourselves."

After breakfast the next day, Zhang watched the father and daughter drink a bowl of brown sugar and ginger water before letting them go. Originally, she didn't want Xiaolan to go to the town to make trouble, and wanted her to stay at home and take good care of her health. However, Bao, the shopkeeper of Chunshengtang, recognized her.

Xiao Lan was also worried about Sheng Xuan going to Chunshengtang alone. She hadn't been to the town for a long time, and she wanted to find out the prices in the town so that she could make some preparations for next year. Xiao Lan took the silver and set off with Sheng Xuan.

Bao, the shopkeeper of Chunshengtang, received them warmly. When he saw the two deer on the carriage, his eyes lit up. "Don't worry, I will help you sell them at a good price. To be honest, someone came to the medicine shop a few days ago to look for deer antlers and deer penises. The New Year is coming soon, and the rich families are not short of money. In addition, there were many people who wanted to eat tonic food because of the previous plague. As long as I spread the word, these two deer will be sold soon."

Xiao Lan believed what he said. The current Chunshengtang is completely different from before. During the plague, Chunshengtang had sufficient medicinal herbs and treated many patients. This not only made Manager Bao earn a lot of money, but also made Chunshengtang famous in Dafeng County. Now, many people from the county still come here to see a doctor and get medicine.

Xiao Lan felt relieved when she heard what Manager Bao said, so she left the two deer with him for consignment.

"I'll give you the money after I sell it," said Manager Bao.

"Why would you have to make a trip in person? We can just come and pick it up ourselves in a few days." Sheng Xuan was a little frightened by Manager Bao's soothing words, and quickly said that he would come and pick it up.

Xiao Lan interrupted Sheng Xuan. She knew from the last time that Manager Bao wanted to make friends with her family, so she didn't bother to be polite with him. "Then I'll trouble Manager Bao to make the trip. We will definitely be treated to a good feast and a good hospitality when the time comes."

Shopkeeper Bao already treated Xiao Lan as an adult. Hearing her say this, he was very happy. "Hahaha, OK, OK, I will definitely come to your house for a drink then."

After leaving Chunshengtang, Xiaolan was thinking about what to buy all the way, "Dad, let's go to the grain store to have a look."

The owner of the grain store was familiar with Xiao Lan and Sheng Xuan. Seeing them coming, he hurriedly welcomed them into the room for tea. "Why are you here today? Your family should not be short of food."

"We came to the town to check the food prices and find out how the county magistrate is going to appease the refugees." Xiao Lan said.
