Chapter 6 Manor Life (2)

After the two people went down the mountain and returned to Zhuangzi, they attracted many people to watch.

Because Xu Xiazi doesn't often catch big animals like wild boars.

What’s even more surprising is Xiao Jingxuan. I thought he was the noble son coming to the city, but I didn’t expect that he was so strong, dragging a two to three hundred kilogram wild boar like nothing happened.

After sending the prey to Xu Xiazi's house, he had a dinner with Xu Xiazi's family who strongly persuaded him to stay.

As for Xu Xiazi’s proposal to share the prey equally, Xiao Jingxuan refused, after all, he had not contributed much.

However, the enthusiastic Xu Xiazi still asked his mother-in-law to bring two pheasants to Xiao Jingxuan when he left.

Xiao Jingxuan, who couldn't refuse, returned to his home with two pheasants.

After that, Xiao Jingxuan followed Xu Xiazi into the mountains twice.

After getting familiar with the conditions in the mountains, Xiao Jingxuan went up to the mountains to hunt alone.

After all, in addition to hunting, Xiao Jingxuan also wants to hone his archery skills.

However, Xiao Jingxuan could not go to the back mountain, where Blind Xu often went. Instead, he changed the direction and went hunting further inside.

Not to mention, as time passed, Xiao Jingxuan's archery skills became better and better, and he finally hunted a lot of prey.

Finally, he no longer had to worry about food. On this day, Xiao Jingxuan was still exploring the mountains carefully as usual.

However, it may be that he has hunted too much recently. Since yesterday, Xiao Jingxuan has not harvested anything except picking some mushrooms, fungus, and wild fruits.

In desperation, he could only continue walking into the deep forest. After another night in the woods, Xiao Jingxuan was awakened by a roar.

No. This is the roar of a tiger. As someone who has been in the mountains many times, I am still a little scared of tigers.

As the king of the mountains and forests, tigers have almost no weaknesses. They can swim and climb trees. And they are huge, so they have almost no opponents in the mountains.

Xiao Jingxuan looked around and saw that there was no place to hide. It seemed that he could only hide in the trees.

Xiao Jingxuan took the merit, tied the things, and climbed towards the big tree on the side.

However, it may be that he made too much noise before, which attracted the tiger's attention.

I saw a tiger weighing more than 200 kilograms running towards Xiao Jingxuan.

When they arrived around Xiao Jingxuan, Tiger didn't notice Xiao Jingxuan's presence, so he began to search around for a while.

Seeing that nothing was found, the tiger lay down under the tree and started phoning.

Looking at the tiger under the tree, Xiao Jingxuan secretly cried out that he was unlucky. Although Xiao Jingxuan believed that he was brave, this was a tiger and he had no confidence.

Besides, in addition to a gong and six arrows, he only has a hatchet, which is used to open roads.

Xiao Jingxuan carefully adjusted his sitting posture and started to humbly on the tree.

Now we can only compete with each other for patience.

However, God did not fulfill his wishes, and people have three urgent needs. After an hour, Xiao Jingxuan was unable to bear the pain.

So, no surprise, after Xiao Jingxuan solved his personal problems, he was also discovered by the tiger under the tree.

Xiao Jingxuan gritted his teeth and had no choice but to fight. So he took out his bow and arrow and shot at the tiger.

At such a short distance, Xiao Jingxuan's arrows could be said to have hit the target. Unfortunately, the power of this hunting bow was limited. Except for the second arrow that hit the tiger's left eye, the other five arrows did not cause any damage to the tiger.

This made Xiao Jingxuan very upset. If he had known this, he should have gone to town to buy some equipment in advance.

There is no use regretting now. The tiger rushed towards Xiao Jingxuan. Although it did not hit him, tigers can climb trees.

Seeing that the tiger couldn't pounce on Jam Hsiao, the tiger began to climb up the tree.

Unable to sit still and wait for death, Xiao Jingxuan put his bow on his back, took out his hatchet, and slashed at the tiger.

When the tiger saw Xiao Jingxuan jumping down from the tree and attacking him, he gave up climbing the tree and hid to the side. Immediately afterwards, one person and one tiger started fighting together.

However, the hatchet in Xiao Jingxuan's hand was not sharp and did not cause any harm to the tiger.

Xiao Jingxuan was in an extremely critical situation at this time. He pressed the tiger's head with one hand, supported the tiger's belly with the other hand, and then kept lifting the tiger's belly with his feet.

That posture was absolutely inelegant. Seeing that the tiger couldn't do anything, it jumped away and planned to change its posture and continue its attack.

Xiao Jingxuan took the opportunity to stand up. The two sides were temporarily in a stalemate.

Xiao Jingxuan slapped his forehead fiercely and cursed himself for being stupid, but he was good at martial arts.

Thinking of this, he began to assume the starting position of the powerful Bull Demon Fist.

One person and one tiger were in a stalemate for a while, and the tiger roared and rushed towards Xiao Jingxuan.

Xiao Jingxuan, who had regained his composure, used the powerful Bull Demon Fist.

The tiger is the king of the mountain, extremely ferocious. Xiao Jingxuan is not bad either. Each punch has a force of hundreds of kilograms.

The two sides fought for a long time, and finally, Xiao Jingxuan beat the tiger to death with his fists.

Jamel Xiao slumped on the ground helplessly, gasping for air. It took a while before he regained consciousness.

After resting for a while, Xiao Jingxuan began to make a rack, tied up the tiger, and started walking towards Zhuangzi.

When Xiao Jingxuan returned to Zhuangzi, it caused a sensation.

Although some people often hunt wild boars and wild wolves, as the king of beasts, tigers are still rarely hunted.

At least I haven't heard of it in the nearby villages.

Immediately afterwards, people in the village helped Xiao Jingxuan carry the tiger to Xiao Jingxuan’s yard.

There were only a few dozen households in the village. Xiao Jingxuan asked the villagers to help peel off the tiger skin. As for the flesh and bones, he kept half of it himself, and the rest was divided among the villagers.

Of the half I kept, I gave the hind legs to Xiazi Xu, and gave some to Steward Xu’s family. I stewed some of the rest myself, and marinated the rest.

The next day, Xiao Jingxuan found out the way and started walking towards the town.

My equipment is too poor and I need to buy some.

Xiao Jingxuan's footsteps were not slow, and it took him more than an hour to reach the town.

This town is called Linjiaji, and it is relatively prosperous. It not only has a blacksmith shop, but also teahouses and restaurants.

Xiao Jingxuan went to the blacksmith shop and bought himself a hunting bow, twenty feather arrows, and a dagger.

After that, I went to a clothing store and bought two pairs of coarse cloth clothes. Finally, I bought a few candied haws, candied fruits, and a little salt.

After buying it, Xiao Jingxuan rushed to Xujiazhuang. This trip cost a lot of money, a total of fourteen taels.

The most expensive thing was the bow and arrow. The hunting bow cost five taels of silver, and the arrows also cost about four taels.

Fortunately, someone from Yueli Yinzi Mansion at Bridge No. 1 sent someone over, and with the self-defense money my mother had given me before, it was barely enough.

After returning home, Xiao Jingxuan distributed snacks to the children in the village. This move made the villagers have a better impression of Xiao Jingxuan.

Xiao Jingxuan has also become children's favorite person.

You must know that candied haws and candied fruits are not cheap, and no one in the village is willing to spend so much money to buy something that will not fill their stomach.

In the next few days, Xiao Jingxuan found that he had developed a little sense of energy through cultivation.

This makes Xiao Jingxuan overjoyed, this is good news.

You must know that this is a hard work. The master once said that it would be gratifying to be able to break through the pulse forging realm when he becomes an adult.

But now, I already have a sense of energy. Although it is very subtle, it can be regarded as passing the most difficult level.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be able to break through to the pulse forging realm within a year.

After asking Xiazi Xu how to tan the fur, Xiao Jingxuan started tanning the tiger skin.

This is a good thing. I will make a coat for my mother when the time comes, so that she will be comfortable in the winter.

But unfortunately, I can't go back for the time being.

After that, Xiao Jingxuan lived a very happy life. Apart from going hunting occasionally, he spent the rest of his time practicing martial arts and reading books.

Of course, he still acted like the king of children occasionally. In this way, Xiao Jingxuan lived happily for two years.

Except that I can't go back to the capital, everything else is fine.

However, the days of ease are always short-lived.

In the spring of the 16th year of Jia'an, the barbarian Golden Horde Khan tribe launched a southern invasion and assembled nearly 300,000 troops to attack the Wei Dynasty.

Suddenly, the north of the Wei Dynasty was full of wind and smoke.

On this day, Xiao Jingxuan was boxing in the yard. At this time, Butler Xu came outside the yard with a guard.

Xiao Jingxuan did not have the habit of locking the door on weekdays. He only saw the guard bowing his hands and bowing. He said respectfully: "Young Master, the Duke of Guo has an order, ordering you to return to Beijing immediately without any mistake."

After hearing what the guard said, Xiao Jingxuan frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

The guard shook his head and said he didn't know.

Xiao Jingxuan nodded and said: "Okay, I will pack my luggage and go back to Beijing on my own."

The guard quickly said: "Master, the younger one has brought horses, one for each person. We can go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow morning."

Xiao Jingxuan nodded, "Okay then, I'll take care of it."

In fact, there was nothing to pack. A change of clothes, a dagger, and the tiger skin that had been tanned before. Other than that, there was nothing else.

I greeted Manager Xu and left with the guards. I greeted several familiar villagers on the way.

After the two of them left Zhuangzi, Xiao Jingxuan looked back at Zhuangzi. Xiao Jingxuan had a feeling that he would not come back for a while.
