The Moon is Full in the Traveling House
Chapter 12 Hunting
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Su Lun has been in this world for more than half a month. Looking back, when he first arrived here, Su Zheng's right leg was seriously injured. Fortunately, Doctor Lin brought him back to health, and the magic medicine he gave him was indeed very effective. Although he still has some inconvenience when walking and is slightly lame, the piercing pain is no longer there.
Since he was injured, Su Zheng was once deeply in pain and could not extricate himself. However, during this period, his brother's obedience and the villagers' enthusiasm gave him endless comfort and warmth, allowing him to gradually learn to face his own imperfections. Recently, seeing that Alan could study and write consciously without his supervision, and made rapid progress, Su Zheng was secretly pleased.
Thinking that he would be leaving soon, and Allen seemed to be interested in archery and hunting, Su Zheng had an idea and took the initiative to propose to go hunting together. Then, he turned to look at his brother and asked, "Would you like to go with me?" Hearing this, Su Lun couldn't help but show his joy and agreed without hesitation.
This time, Su Zheng took Su Lun to another higher mountain forest with more lush trees. Su Zheng said to Su Lun earnestly: "Alun, although there are no tigers or wolves here, we still can't be careless, especially pay attention to your feet, if you accidentally step on a poisonous snake, it will be a big trouble." When he heard the word "snake", Su Lun couldn't help but tremble all over, a little creepy. But at this moment, with his brother by his side, and driven by a strong desire to hunt, Su Lun tried to suppress his inner anxiety and responded loudly: "Okay, brother, don't worry, I will definitely pay more attention!"
When it comes to hunting, Su Zheng is not a top expert, but compared to Su Lun, who is new to hunting, his level is much higher, and he can be said to be experienced! Su Zheng led the way, and did not forget to explain to Su Lun the living habits of some common prey in the mountains along the way. Once he came across a place suitable for setting a trap, he would stop and carefully set it up with his brother.
The brothers were really lucky on this trip, and unexpectedly found a roe deer. They were overjoyed and drew their bows and arrows at the same time. With a "whoosh" sound, two arrows flew out like lightning.
The arrows streaked through the air like meteors, accompanied by the roe deer's painful wail. One arrow pierced deeply into its leg, while the other missed it and lay alone on the ground. In this situation, you don't need to look at it to know who shot the arrow that missed. Su Lun curled his lips and sighed in his heart: I am too weak! He cast his eyes on the injured roe deer on the ground again, only to see it lying on the ground and wailing continuously, but other than that, it didn't make any big movements, and didn't even try to escape, as if it had no idea that it was in big trouble.
"Oh, no wonder people often say that roe deer are stupid, it really is true!" Su Lun couldn't help but complain softly.
Su Zheng, who was standing by, patted his brother's shoulder and consoled him: "Alan, don't be nervous, relax, and try again. It's injured, it will definitely not be able to escape."
So the two brothers pulled the bowstrings again and shot arrows again. This time, both arrows successfully hit the roe deer. One arrow accurately hit the roe deer's abdomen, while the other pierced deeply into the roe deer's other leg. The severely injured roe deer immediately collapsed to the ground and soon became silent.
"Haha, big brother is so awesome! He never misses a shot!" Su Lun cheered excitedly.
"Thank you for the compliment, Allen. I'm just lucky." Su Zheng replied with a generous smile.
However, Su Lun shook his head seriously and said, "No, my brother is really good. He is much better than me!" As he spoke, his face showed admiration for his brother, but also revealed a hint of secret competition and unwillingness to admit defeat.
Seeing his brother's proud yet somewhat unwilling look, Su Zheng couldn't help but smile, and then he consoled him earnestly: "Alan, you don't have to belittle yourself, practice makes perfect. You have just started to get in touch with these things, so it is normal that your skills are not superb. Thinking back to the first time I went hunting, I didn't get any results for several times in a row! Alan is performing very well now. Besides, you are a scholar after all, even if your archery skills are not so proficient, it's no big deal." Although he knew that his brother was comforting and encouraging him, every word he said was about his identity as a scholar. Su Lun felt helpless and even a little headache, so he stopped arguing.
He quietly packed up the roe deer and put it into the bamboo basket behind him. The roe deer was not small, weighing about 50 to 60 kilograms. If he took it to the town to sell it now, he should be able to get a good price. Thinking of this, the two brothers were happy and excited as they went down the mountain and headed towards the town.
Su Zheng led his brother Su Lun to the only restaurant in the area. It was not yet meal time, and there were no customers in the restaurant, only the shopkeeper and a few waiters. Su Zheng greeted the shopkeeper and said that he had sold prey here before, so they had some friendship.
"Brother Su, it's been a long time since we last met! How are you? Come on, please sit here." Shopkeeper Li said with a smile on his face and cupped his hands.
"Shopkeeper Li, it's been a while since we last met. You're still as radiant as ever." Su Zheng returned the greeting with a smile.
"I heard from others that your brother has recovered. Could it be the man standing next to you? He is so handsome and imposing." As Shopkeeper Li spoke, he cast his gaze at Su Lun next to Su Zheng and greeted him.
"I am Su Lun, and I'm here to meet you, Manager Li. You're too kind, I'm really ashamed." Su Lun bowed respectfully.
Shopkeeper Li's eyes slowly fell on the worn bamboo basket behind Su Lun. He turned around and asked Su Zheng with a smile: "Brother Su, are you planning to enjoy a delicious meal here today? Or do you have other more important matters to deal with?"
Su Zheng nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the other party's intention, and then quickly exchanged glances with Su Lun. Su Lun understood what he meant, and without hesitation reached out to open the lid of the bamboo basket on his back, exposing the fat and strong roe deer in front of everyone.
Su Zheng stared at Shopkeeper Li intently, and said in a gentle and soft voice: "This roe deer was found by me by chance. I wonder if Shopkeeper Li is interested in buying it?"
Shopkeeper Li looked at the roe deer in front of him attentively. He saw that it was huge, but unfortunately, the fur at the wound was severely damaged. After careful consideration, he said, "To be honest, business is really bad now. Roe deer meat is delicious, but it is hot in the summer, so it is not easy to keep it fresh. Besides, its fur is also damaged. If Brother Su trusts me, I will pay ten taels of silver. What do you think?"
The price was a little higher than expected. Su Zheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he still maintained his elegant demeanor and readily agreed, "In that case, thank you very much, Manager Li." You know, one or two taels of silver was not a small sum in ancient times. Converted into modern currency, its purchasing power is equivalent to a full one thousand yuan!
Su Lun, who was standing by, was amazed when he heard the number. He secretly calculated that this deal actually made them 10,000 yuan in one go! For ordinary country families, even if they worked hard for a whole year, it would be difficult to earn so much money! Su Lun, who was filled with joy, quickly handed the hunted items to the shop assistant, and then thanked and said goodbye to Shopkeeper Li with his brother.
After the Su brothers walked away, one of the shop assistants could not help but walk up to Shopkeeper Li and asked curiously, "Shopkeeper, why are you so generous today?" Shopkeeper Li glanced at him and said earnestly, "What do you know, kid? The situation of the Su brothers is really difficult now. I am doing this to repay Mr. Wang for his kindness back then."
It turns out that when Manager Li was doing business abroad in his early years, he had encountered vicious competition. Not only was he imprisoned for no reason, but he also ran into obstacles everywhere after he was released from prison. No one was willing to hire him again. Just when he was at his wits' end, Mr. Wang came to his rescue and not only gave him a place to stay, but also promised him a very generous reward. Unfortunately, the Wang family gradually declined, and the properties were sold at low prices. Manager Li took the opportunity to take over and has been running the business painstakingly ever since...
Recalling the past years, Manager Li was filled with emotion. He knew very well that if it hadn't been for Mr. Wang's help, he would have been homeless and how could he have the prosperity and respect he has today? So, when he saw the Su brothers in trouble, he chose to lend a helping hand without hesitation, just as a way to repay the old kindness.
"So that's how it is, good people will be rewarded!" the waiter sighed.
