Hunter Turns Martial Saint Chapter 9

The next day, Nathan Wei got up early and climbed to the outskirts of Xiaozhou Mountain.

The sound of the brook gurgling echoed in his ears. Nathan Wei looked at the inner mountain in the dense forest and thought for a while. In the end, he decided not to go into the inner mountain.

Now, he not only lives for one person, but also has to be extremely careful in everything.

However, listening to the ethereal calls of deer coming from the dense forest and the occasional cries of wild cats, Nathan Wei still felt a little itchy.

Not to mention deer, a game loved by the county's nobles, even a roe deer, with its skin and meat, could be exchanged for at least thirty coins when sold in the city.

If you kill one of them, you'll have enough rice to last you a whole winter.

Once you have achieved advanced tracking and archery skills, and have strengthened your body, you can move further into the mountains.

Nathan Wei shook his head, forced away the thoughts in his mind, and followed the stream to search for traces of prey.

It was not until the afternoon that Nathan Wei slowly walked down the mountain path.

In the small sack behind him, there were two rabbits with their heads shot by arrows, and a colorful pheasant.

The harvest was pretty good.

Now, this ordinary little animal can no longer escape Nathan Wei's eyes.

Moreover, with the bonus of the reinforced wooden bow, the power of the iron arrow increased dramatically. With just one arrow, these small animals died on the spot without any struggle.

Nathan Wei originally wanted to sneak back home along the path as he did before, but after thinking for a while, he decided to change his route temporarily and walked towards his home along the main road in the village.

Sure enough, when the idle men in the village saw Nathan Wei walking home with a bulging sack on his back, they all stopped talking and looked at his sack.

The idle men looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

Look at that bulging sack. Did you catch something?

Not far away, Liu Lingling, who was sitting on a stone pier in a daze, obviously also saw this scene.

Soon, the idle men under the willow tree exchanged glances, and immediately a middle-aged man stood up and blocked Nathan Wei's way.

"Masako, what did you catch?"

The middle-aged man's eyes were eager, staring straight at the sack behind Nathan Wei.

"Brother, I haven't eaten meat for half a year. So, you can sell the meat to me. The price is negotiable."

"Okay." Nathan Wei smiled lightly and casually flipped down the sack behind him, revealing the prey inside.

When the man saw the hare and pheasant in the bag, his eyes widened instantly, and the few idle men surrounding Nathan Wei also frowned.

These are all good mountain products.

He was not exaggerating when he said he hadn't eaten meat for half a year. The hunters in the mountains all had the skills passed down from their ancestors. How could farmers like them who depended on the weather for their livelihood learn that?

So, if they wanted to eat meat, except for the chance of catching a pheasant that sneaked into the field, otherwise they had to exchange food or money with the hunters in the village.

"Zhengzi, a good hunter, much better than Niu Er!" The man's mouth drooled unconsciously. He was about to reach out to grab the prey, but as soon as he made a move, his arm was grabbed by Nathan Wei.

"One rabbit for six kilograms of rice, pickles, oil and salt."

Nathan Wei looked at him quietly.

"Hi!" The middle-aged man's face was obviously displeased. He obviously didn't expect that the dull and stupid Nathan Wei would ask him for money.

"Can I eat your food for free? Give it to me first, and I'll send it home later!"

"Then send it to me later." Nathan Wei sneered, shook off the man's hand, and put the sack back on his shoulder.

At this time, the four or five idle men had unknowingly approached.

"Zhengzi, we are from the same village. We have all watched you grow up. If you uncles want to eat some meat, do you have to order it in front of us?" A man behind him echoed and deliberately bumped Nathan Wei hard with his shoulder.

"Are you afraid that we will eat you for free?"

"My kid hasn't eaten meat for two months. You should give your nephew a chicken at least!" A dark and thin man took advantage of his height and bumped Nathan Wei's shoulder hard.

Nathan Wei grabbed the dark and thin man by the clothes, used his waist to drive his arms to exert force, and swung him violently, actually causing the dark and thin man to stagger.

"Your child didn't eat meat? My father had a big feast the other day, and your child ate more than anyone else. How dare you say you didn't eat meat? Also, when you go to a big feast, do you pay before you eat?"

Nathan Wei's eyes were ferocious, staring at the dark and thin man like a vicious wolf.

The thin and dark man felt humiliated and was about to fight with Nathan Wei. However, just as he was about to do so, he discovered that Nathan Wei, who was as thin as a monkey before, was now much stronger than before.

His shoulders were a whole circle thicker than before, his muscles were gradually taking shape, and his whole person had changed from his former decadent appearance. His temperament was like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed.

Combined with Nathan Wei's ferocious look, the black man actually got scared.

"I, I gave the money to Niu Er"

"Then go ask Niu Er for it!" Nathan Wei sneered and turned his gaze to the middle-aged man who had stopped him at the beginning.

"Uncle Liu, if you want it, you can. You still owe my father money for a pheasant half a year ago. Give me the money for the pheasant first, and I'll give it to you!"

"You and me." The middle-aged man seemed to be scared and took two steps back, making way for Nathan Wei.

Nathan Wei carried the sack and walked home.

When Liu Lingling passed by, she stood up and seemed to want to say something, but when she saw Nathan Wei's fierce look just now, she felt a little scared.

Nathan Wei didn't even look at Liu Lingling, he just walked past her without looking at her.

Looking at Nathan Wei's back, Liu Lingling's lips moved, and there was a trace of regret in her eyes. The resentment just now disappeared without a trace.

When she returned home and opened the sack that Nathan Wei brought, Bai Ling'er's pretty face suddenly became curved.

When Nathan Wei returned home, he was also extremely surprised.

I saw that in the middle of the house, a small mud stove had appeared. The yellow mud had not yet dried, and there was a pile of firewood next to it.

"It's cold, and there's no stove at home, so I built one. I'll go to the woods to pick up some firewood tomorrow." Bai Ling'er said as she skillfully plucked the pheasants and skinned the wild rabbits with a knife, a sweet smile on her lips.

By the evening, half a chicken stewed with rice and wild vegetables was served on the table. In Nathan Wei's broken porcelain bowl, a large chicken leg was slowly steaming.

They took a bite of the chicken, followed by a spoonful of rice and a bite of wild vegetables. The unseasoned pheasant meat was a bit fishy,   but both of them enjoyed the meal very much.

"By the way, I want to send some of the chicken to Uncle Shu next door." Nathan Wei tore open a chicken leg, chewed it, and put the remaining half of the chicken leg into Bai Ling'er's bowl.

Bai Ling'er put the chicken leg back in a low voice.

"It's all up to the boss," Bai Ling'er muttered.

"The meat that the boss got with great difficulty"

Nathan Wei knew that Bai Ling'er was a little reluctant, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and told Bai Ling'er what happened during the day.

After hearing this, Bai Ling'er couldn't eat anymore and her face became pouty.

"Are you afraid that I will be beaten by those old guys?" Nathan Wei smiled, took out a broken bowl and put a bowl of chicken in it.

"If they were so brave, they wouldn't have been bullied by Niu Er for so many years." Nathan Wei said as he walked out of the house. "And Uncle Shu Biao was very helpful to us..."
