Seeing this crowned snake, Yang Ji finally understood why those foxes and rabbits froze in fear and became motionless when they ran here.
Although this crowned king snake is still in its infancy, "although a sparrow is small but has all the internal organs", the aura of the king of poisonous snakes on its body is genuine.
Once the surrounding prey approaches here and smells its breath, their whole bodies will twitch and tremble, and they dare not get close.
"Lu Ling thought the crowned snake had run away, but she didn't expect it to be here."
Yang Ji thought to himself.
The Crowned Snake held its head high and looked at him with hostility, obviously very wary of him. Next, Yang Ji took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw an arrow tip exposed under the stone.
"Lu Ling said she shot the crowned snake, which is true... I just don't know why it was pinned down by a big rock."
Yang Ji was secretly surprised.
The Crowned King Snake had already run away at that time, but this was obviously not the case. Yang Ji looked around and soon saw deep traces of rolling stones not far away. Follow the traces
, which can be extended all the way to the top of the cliff.
"It turns out that this big rock originally stretched across the top of the cliff."
A thought passed through Yang Ji's mind.
In the deep mountains, exposed to the wind and rain over time, it is not uncommon for rocks like this to be exposed on the surface. However, this is obviously not the case.
Yang Ji thought for a moment and roughly understood what happened to this crowned snake.
Obviously, Lu Ling's arrow deeply threatened the King of Poisonous Snakes, the Emperor of Ten Thousand Snakes. The adult Crowned King Snake is invulnerable and powerful, even the Martial Saint is afraid of it, but the juvenile Crowned King Snake
Apparently he doesn't have this ability yet.
It was hit by such a powerful arrow, so it naturally ran away in a hurry. It didn't choose its path in a panic, and hit the huge rock on the top of the cliff. It rolled down and was pinned underneath.
Yang Ji made a visual inspection and found that this large rock, which was as tall as a person, weighed at least more than 2,000 kilograms. It was extremely heavy and could not be pushed by a person of Yang Ji's level.
"Even some warriors may not be able to push such a heavy stone. No wonder this crowned snake is trapped underneath and unable to move."
Yang Ji secretly thought, with some pity in his heart.
This baby crowned snake was obviously chased hard by Lu Ling and hit by an arrow. Then it panicked and hit the big rock on the top of the cliff. It rolled down and was crushed underneath.
Hiss!
Not far away, the Crowned Snake kept staring at Yang Ji. Seeing that he made no further movements, the hostility in his eyes became less and he slowly lowered his head, showing deep exhaustion in his eyes.
"It was a few days ago that Lu Ling chased it. It is estimated that it has not eaten food during this period. In addition, it was shot by Lu Ling and was seriously injured. It is no wonder..."
Yang Ji shook his head, a look of pity flashed across his eyes, and he casually took a hare from his shoulder and threw it at the feet of the Crowned Snake:
"Little snake, little snake, there's nothing I can do to help you. I'll just give this rabbit to you for dinner."
After Yang Ji said that, he turned around and left.
The "Crown King Snake" is an extremely poisonous poison, but Yang Ji has no intention of taming it.
The crown snake is the king of venomous snakes and the emperor of all snakes. It is extremely wary of people and cannot be tamed easily. If you approach it rashly, a bite from it will almost certainly kill you.
Moreover, the large rock weighing more than 2,000 kilograms weighing on it was not something that Yang Ji could move, even if he wanted to, he would be unable to move it.
Yang Ji didn't see it. The moment he turned around, the crowned snake looked at the prey in front of him, then looked at Yang Ji, and his eyes softened a lot.
On the cliff, Yang Ji picked up the white fox, hunted on the mountain for a while, and then returned to his family.
Early the next morning.
"Uncle Liang, give me the skins of those animals. I will take them to the market and sell them."
Before setting off, Yang Ji felt something in his heart and suddenly said to the old housekeeper.
The old housekeeper's money was almost spent, and Yang Ji planned to take the furs he had accumulated these days to the market, sell them all at once, and get some money back.
"Master, wait."
The old housekeeper responded, hurriedly left, and soon brought over a thick pile of furs. Yang Ji had gained a lot from hunting in the past few days, especially since he had mastered the archery method taught by Lu Ling, and his accuracy became more and more accurate.
More and more prey were brought back.
Yang Ji made a rough count and found that there were as many as thirty or forty.
"That's enough. After converting these furs into money, it will be enough for Uncle Liang and I to live for a long time."
Yang Ji took the fur and carefully went out.
"Shopkeeper, do you collect things here?"
Yang Ji strode into a fur shop.
"Haha, little brother, we don't accept couplets here."
The wrinkled old shopkeeper smiled and said that he recognized Yang Jizheng at a glance as the man who had sold couplets in his store not long ago.
Without saying much, Yang Ji took out the thick pile of fur from the package and placed it on the counter with a thud.
"!!!"
The old shopkeeper shrank his eyes and looked shocked: "So many? Where did you come from!"
Most of the hunters who come here to sell furs only have one or two pieces, or at most four or five pieces. Rarely does Yang Ji take out such a thick pile at once, especially since the intact furs account for the vast majority of it.
most.
"Where did it come from? Of course I hit it myself."
Yang Ji pointed to the bow and arrow on his back and said calmly, "If you don't want it, I'll give you a price. If you don't want it, I'll find another store.
"I want it, I want it, I want it!..."
The old shopkeeper quickly grabbed Yang Ji with a smile on his face, but the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed. He clearly remembered that a few days ago, Yang Ji was just a weak scholar selling couplets, and when did his hunting skills become so good?
Brilliant?
"Let me see, let me see. Twenty-one rabbit skins, ten badger skins, two mink skins, one fox skin, and one wolf skin."
The old shopkeeper quickly gave a quotation while counting:
"I can give you forty-eight coins for twenty-one rabbit skins, ten coins for badger skins, eight coins for mink skins, eight coins for fox skins, and eight coins for wolf skins, a total of eighty-two coins. What do you think?" (One coin is one.)
copper plate.)
Yang Ji's eyelids twitched. Although he knew that he had a fresh face and looked young, the price would be suppressed, but the total of more than thirty furs was less than one tael of silver. This was far beyond Yang Ji's expectation.
.
"Shopkeeper, this price... are you kidding me?"
Yang Ji said in a deep voice.
"Brother, I'm not suppressing your price. Look at your rabbit skins. Most of them have been shot. It's hard to sell such skins. I can't have the same price for all of them, right? Not badger skins?"
It’s valuable, mink skin... I have to make some money in business. As for wolf skins, gray wolf skins are not as popular as other furs at all... It is a conscience of heaven and earth that I give you eighty-two cents.
The price is so low that I haven’t earned a penny from you.”
The old manager had a sad face and looked confused:
"Moreover, your quantity is very large. If you can't sell it, we will have to take a lot of risks, so we have to consider it."
"snort!"
Yang Ji snorted coldly, pointed to the "white fox skin" that the old shopkeeper had never mentioned, and said:
"Do you really think I don't understand anything? This complete white fox skin is worth at least one tael of silver. If you sell it, it will be worth at least two taels of silver, and the profit will be huge. In addition, the complete white fox skin is worth at least two taels of silver.
Can pelts and incomplete pelts have the same price?”
The old shopkeeper's expression changed on the spot. Among all Yang Ji's furs, rabbit skins, badger skins, and wolf skins could only be considered trivial, but this white fox skin was the most valuable.
He talked about it all, but did not mention the white fox skin, which was the idea. Eighty-two cents seemed fair, but in fact it was the greatest injustice.
"One fox skin counts for one hundred and fifty coins, twenty-one rabbit skins count for sixty coins, eight badger skins still count for eight coins, mink skins count for twelve coins, and wolf skins still count for eight coins, for a total of two hundred and thirty-eight coins.
."
Yang Ji finished it in one breath and left no room for doubt:
"If you agree, we will make a deal right now, and I can provide you with a stable supply of goods in the future. If you don't agree, I'll probably put more thought into it and visit a few more stores. I believe there should be no problem."
The old shopkeeper was stunned. The price calculated by Yang Ji was exactly the real selling price of these furs. It was exactly the same. Even the profits were mostly like this. It was completely a serious market situation.
To be continued...
