The hunter's leisurely life begins with marrying a female educated youth.
Chapter 42 One Bow and Arrow
"This lady is really awesome."
Zhang Yun's exceptional perception allowed him to spot the elderly woman and the elderly men and women she had summoned from a great distance.
A large group of 25 people arrived in total.
With lightning speed, Zhang Yun immediately put another 15 wild rabbits into the basket.
Since the elderly folks had come so enthusiastically, Zhang Yun couldn't let them leave empty-handed, so he naturally had to fulfill their wishes.
Before long, the older woman arrived first, smiling and saying, "Young man, I haven't broken my promise, have I? I've already called all my good friends over."
The elderly people who arrived later all saw the wild rabbit with its legs tied to the lid of the basket, and their faces immediately lit up with excitement.
"Auntie, you're so kind."
Zhang Yun replied with a smile.
At this moment, the old woman's eyes flickered. She remembered that not long ago, Zhang Yun only had ten wild rabbits in his basket. How come in such a short time, Zhang Yun has been selling more and more wild rabbits?
"Young man, do you raise rabbits at home?"
After some speculation, the woman asked a question.
"No, I just have a good relationship with some hunters, and I help them sell these rabbits. While you were away, my partner brought some more rabbits, and they're all here."
Zhang Yun patiently explained.
Upon hearing this, the old woman's eyes lit up. She naturally realized that Zhang Yun could supply wild animals on a long-term basis.
The elderly men and women who followed along couldn't wait to see the wild rabbits.
"Young man, here are four pieces. May I pick out a wild rabbit myself?"
An old man interrupted their conversation and took out 4 yuan.
"Okay, sir, you can choose one yourself."
Zhang Yun immediately accepted the money and said generously.
The old man happily opened the lid and saw the wild rabbits in the basket. They were all alive and quite large. Without picking and choosing, he picked up a rabbit and immediately stepped aside.
With this example in mind, the elderly men and women in the group took out their money, and some even used grain coupons or cloth coupons. Each of them took a wild rabbit.
25 wild rabbits sold out in a flash.
The elderly men and women all left with smiles on their faces.
The older woman who had initially transacted with Zhang Yun actually stayed behind. She pulled Zhang Yun aside and led him to the back of a nearby house before she began to speak.
"Young man, from what you're saying, you have many hunter friends. I have a favor to ask you."
The older woman said softly, looking at Zhang Yun with hopeful eyes.
"Auntie, what's your name? You can tell me. If I can help, I'll do my best."
Zhang Yun replied with a smile.
“I am Wang Xiuhua, everyone calls me Granny Hua, young man you can call me that too. My story is actually very simple. My father used to be a hunter. He passed away last year, leaving behind a bow and arrow.”
"As a woman, how could I possibly hunt? This bow and arrow are just decorations to me."
"I don't want my old father's bow and arrows to gather dust and decay, so I want you to find a hunter and sell them to him."
The older woman, Wang Xiuhua, explained the situation to Zhang Yun in detail.
Zhang Yun grinned, never expecting that his casually made-up excuse would bring such an unexpected surprise.
In fact, after his experience in Songshu Mountain these past two days, Zhang Yun had also considered making a bow and arrow.
The spiritual spring is indeed very tempting to wild beasts, but the scent emitted by the spiritual spring is quickly assimilated into water vapor by the air, and the diffusion distance is not very far, nor does it last for a long time.
Therefore, every time Zhang Yun wanted to use the spiritual spring to lure wild beasts, he had to scatter the spiritual spring over a large area and then lure the beasts into the trap he had set.
Although he had indeed made some gains using the spiritual spring these past two days, Zhang Yun knew very well that this was only because Songshu Mountain had a flat terrain. If he were to enter a mountain like Jiming Mountain, which was full of pits and ravines, even if the spiritual spring lured the wild animals there, in the short time it would take for Zhang Yun to run over and catch them, the wild animals might break free of the trap and escape.
If he had a bow and arrow, he could shoot them from a distance. In that case, as long as those large beasts fell into the trap, Zhang Yun could shoot them from a distance before they could struggle to escape.
“Aunt Wang, tell me, how much do you plan to sell your bow and arrows for? If it’s too expensive, I don’t need to bother looking at them. My hunter friends all have their own knives and bows and arrows, and they’re not in a hurry to replace their bows and arrows.”
Zhang Yun immediately replied with a smile, taking the opportunity to give Wang Xiuhua a heads-up.
This was actually Zhang Yun's deliberate reminder, to prevent Wang Xiuhua from asking for exorbitant prices.
If the price is right, Zhang Yun will naturally pay for it.
If Wang Xiuhua were to overcharge, Zhang Yun would not care about the favor she had done for bringing over twenty neighbors to buy the wild rabbit, and would immediately turn around and leave.
"I don't want money, I want to trade that bow for a turtle. Oh, this turtle has to be at least twenty years old."
Upon hearing that there was hope, Wang Xiuhua immediately emphasized it.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yun was stunned.
Last night, when Zhang Yun went to the fields to catch mosquitoes, he happened to catch a very large turtle.
Although Zhang Yun didn't know the age of the tortoise, based on his experience from two lifetimes, it must have taken at least 20 years for the tortoise to grow that big.
"Aunt Wang, why did you specifically request that the turtle be over 20 years old?"
Zhang Yun was indeed very curious.
"Here's what happened. My wife had a severe postpartum hemorrhage and was very weak. I consulted an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor, who prescribed a medicine for me. The herbs were easy to find, but finding turtles that were over 20 years old was a challenge."
“Young man, if you can help those hunter friends find a turtle like this, my whole family will be grateful to you.”
Wang Xiuhua quickly explained.
It turned out to be the case.
Zhang Yun understood.
“Aunt Wang, how about this, I’ll go find my hunter friends today and see if they have any clues. If I find a turtle like this, I’ll come find you as soon as possible.”
Zhang Yun naturally wouldn't agree immediately, much less take out the turtle from the spiritual spring space.
There needs to be some buffer time; only then will it seem reasonable to use a tortoise as a bargaining chip.
Of course, Zhang Yun also considered the kindness Wang Xiuhua had shown him earlier and didn't want his wife to suffer, so he decided to bring the tortoise over in the next couple of days to trade with Wang Xiuhua for bows and arrows.
"Thank you so much. My home is right next to that black locust tree, house number 147. If you find the turtle, remember to come find me!"
Wang Xiuhua said with a grateful expression.
Zhang Yun nodded.
