Chapter 005: A pie falls from the sky, making a small fortune ()

When Xu Xingxia saw his uncle's expression, he knew that he was still a little disbelief. He smiled slightly in his heart and had no explanation. In fact, if he was Liu Guangliang, he would be equally surprised. Who would have thought that the eldest son of the Xu family could actually hunt a deer? There are so many skilled hunters in Weizhen Fort, and none of them could hunt a deer. How could the eldest son of the Xu family have such luck and such ability?

Sure enough, Liu Guangliang couldn't help asking, "Xia Zi, did you really shoot this?"

Xu Xingxia nodded and said steadily: "Uncle, it is indeed the red deer I shot."

Xu Xudong couldn't wait to say, "Brother is so amazing. He shot the big marinade to death with one arrow."

Liu Guangliang had to believe it. He walked up and circled around the fallen red deer, saying in praise: "It's really fatal! Xia Zi, when did your archery technique become so good? The red deer is very agile. People in the fort want to attack the red deer several times, but they have no chance. For more than ten years, no one has hunted the red deer. Unexpectedly, they will give you a meat dish!"

Xu Xingxia naturally would not reveal his weirdness. In fact, he had not yet fully understood what was going on. How could he easily reveal it to others? Even the most intimate person, he would not tell him. He said casually: "Maybe I'm lucky. When Dongzi discovered the red deer, I leaned up quietly and took it with one arrow."

Liu Guangliang did not ask in detail. His thoughts were all on the top of the red deer. He was right, the people from Weizhenbao had not hunted the red deer for more than ten years. This was indeed a great thing for the Xu family in trouble. The Xu and Liu families had a close relationship, and the situation of the Xu family improved, which was also beneficial to the Liu family.

He dragged the red deer a few times and said happily: "A such a big red deer has only such a wound on the deer skin, and the deer blood is lost very little. I guess it can be sold at least 100 taels of silver in our Weizhen Fort. If you are taken to Pinglu City, you can sell at least 130 taels of silver. Xia Zi, you are going to get rich."

Xu Xingxia said casually: "Uncle was joking, how can he sell so many?"

Liu Guangliang said seriously: "Xia Zi, you don't understand this. Let's not talk about the value of deer skin for now, everyone knows it. Venison is very precious and only dignitaries can afford it. I once heard from the pharmacy owner in Pinglu City that a man named Li Shizhen wrote a book called the outline, which mentioned that deer antler, deer whip, deer fetus, deer blood, deer heart, deer kidney, deer tendon, venison, deer bone, etc. can all be used as medicine. That is to say, the whole body of the deer can be sold for money inside and outside..."

Xu Xingxia nodded to show that he was taught. He naturally understood the value of the red deer. This time, he could indeed make a small fortune. Of course, hunting the red deer is not the end, and he has to sell the red deer. He turned to his two cousins ​​and said, "Come on, Dachun and Xiaochun, let's do it together and carry it back before talking about it!"

As he said that, he squatted down and pulled the black feather arrow out of the red deer's neck. After looking carefully, he found that the arrow of the black feather arrow was not damaged. After wiping away the blood, he should be able to use it again. Xu Xingxia wiped the black feather arrow from the grass beside him clean of the deer blood, and then inserted it back into the quiver pot behind him.

"Okay!"

Brothers Liu Dachun and Liu Xiaochun were attracted by the huge red deer. After hearing this, they quickly woke up. The two agreed and started to get busy. They drilled the rope through the underside of the red deer, tied the red deer, and then used a lifting bar to penetrate it. The weight of the red deer was estimated to be five or six hundred kilograms, and they walked around the rope several times. The four of them worked together, and finally tied the red deer and lifted it up with force.

"Go back! I'll have meat to eat today!"

Niu Niu happily clapped her palms in front to open the way.

Xu Xudong also excitedly carried his own firewood and followed behind the red deer.

The size of the red deer is naturally eye-catching. Xu Xingxia and his group came back from the woods, and the people they met on the road expressed surprise and envy. Many people stopped to inquire about it. When they heard that the red deer was killed by the eldest son of the Xu family, many people were stunned without any concealment. If they hadn't seen this huge red deer with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.

When we returned to Weizhen Fort, the news had spread. Many people and a large group of children were waiting to watch the fun. The most active ones were those children who had been rushing up and gathered around the red deer to watch. Some children were holding the red deer's tail, some children holding the red deer's antlers, and some children touching the red deer's body. It has been a long time since such a lively thing happened.

"What did you say? Red Deer?"

"The eldest son of the Xu family hunted a deer?"

"Impossible? The eldest son of the Xu family can hunt a deer?"

"Impossible! If he could hunt a deer, I could hunt a golden leopard!"

I heard that it was the eldest son of the Xu family who hunted a mahjong deer, but almost all the people didn't believe it. The group of people who pointed at Xu Xingxia in the store were dumbfounded and shook their heads, thinking that the news was ridiculous. Especially some people who had met Mahjong deer, they were even more certain that this was definitely a rumor.

They don’t know the skills of the Xu family. Three fists can’t hit a single fart. In Weizhen Castle, even if there are not three hundred, there are at least two hundred. With Xu Xingxia’s ability and his timid and fearful personality, let alone hunting a deer, it’s almost the same to be hunted by a deer.

"Oh my God, it's really a red deer..."

"I'm not dazzled, right? That's a real red deer..."

"God! The eldest son of the Xu family really hunted a deer..."

It was not until Xu Xingxia appeared in front of them with a bow and arrow, carrying a red deer, holding her head and chest up, that they had to believe that Xu Xingxia had indeed hunted a red deer. This time, it was really a turn for the feng shui. Many people in Weizhen Fort looked at me, and I looked at you, with suspicion and envy on their faces. I really didn't expect that the eldest son of the Xu family would become so powerful without saying a word.

"What did you say? Xia'er hunted a deer?"

Wang had already learned the news, and it was informed by Liu Guangliang's family. Like others, Wang did not believe in her son and could hunt a deer. After a long time, she believed that this was not someone else who was spending time, and she wanted to see the Xu family's joke. She stood anxiously at the fort gate, waiting for her son to come back.

"This is true..."

"Xia'er really hunted a deer..."

When she saw her son, Liu Guangliang and others appearing with a deer, she believed that all this was true. Her son, her incompetent son and cowardly, really hunted a deer. For a moment, she felt like she was hit by a pie from the sky. The Xu family is about to move.

Almost at this moment, Wang felt that others' eyes looked at him were very different. In the past, others' eyes looked down from a high place. Now, their eyes have become looking up from a low place. These two different eyes bring Wang two completely different feelings.

"Da da da da!"

The crisp sound of horse hooves suddenly came.

Before Xu Xingxia and others returned to the fort gate, a carriage drove out from the Weizhen Fort and rushed towards Pinglu City. The people on the carriage suddenly discovered something, ordered the carriage to stop, and then slowly turned back, just blocking in front of Xu Xingxia and others. The curtain was lifted, and a fat businessman got off the carriage.

There are no private carriages in Weizhen Fort or Pinglu City. The people here are basically military households, and families with conditions can ride horses when they go in and out. If it really doesn't work, they just get a few sedan chairs for their families. The cost of carriages is still too high, and ordinary wealthy families can't afford them.

There is only one kind of person who likes to ride a carriage in Ningxia Town, that is, the so-called Shanxi merchants. Shanxi merchants were the first to enter Ningxia Town, and they have a very strong foundation here. All walks of life in Ningxia Town are inseparable from the shadow of Shanxi merchants. Commodities such as grain, coarse salt, and fur are basically monopolized by Shanxi merchants.

The man who got off the carriage, named Sun Dakun, was indeed a Shanxi businessman who did business in Ningxia. He was not very old, only in his thirties. He was the permanent representative of the Sun Family stationed in Ningxia Town in Jiexiu, Shanxi, and was responsible for purchasing fur goods from all over Ningxia Town. He accidentally saw the figure of the red deer in the carriage and hurriedly ordered to turn around. Sun Dakun circled the red deer and said bluntly: "One hundred taels, will you sell it?"

If it were normal, Sun Dakun would not offer such a price. The Shanxi merchants are famous for being stingy, and they have to break a halve of a copper plate. But today, it is a complete exception. He was about to visit an important guest in Ningxia City today, but he had no good gifts in his hand. He worked hard to visit Weizhen Fort, but he did not find a satisfactory gift. When he was depressed, he suddenly saw the deer, and his mind immediately became active.
