Husband-in-Law: Reborn Peasant Girl Busy Farming

Chapter 485 Treasure in the Mountain

Fur made of this animal fur is extremely sought-after in the capital, not to mention a jar of salt, if it is of good quality, those ladies, wives and dignitaries can spend a lot of money on it, and it is only worth such a little here!
"That's right," Dashan was puzzled by Tang Luoyu's surprised expression, "These things are stipulated in the mountains. A piece of roe deer skin is worth one jar of salt, but a tiger skin and bear skin is worth two jars of salt."

Tang Luoyu restrained her surprised expression, "That is to say, even if you risk your life to hunt and strip off the animal fur, is it only worth so much?"

Dashan didn't like to hear these words, so he retorted, "Why is salt worthless? It's an extremely precious thing!"

Seeing that he was emotional, Tang Luoyu hurriedly said a few words to comfort him, and at the same time turned his mind away.

It seems that the people in Bald Mountain are indeed doing barter transactions, but the value is compressed too much. From this point of view, all kinds of daily necessities that she used to see in Yuedong in the past are the scarce things in the mountain.

Thinking of this, an idea quietly popped up in her mind.

She took out the jade pendant from her bosom, and tentatively asked Dashan, "Do you want to exchange the deer skin for other things? Buy whatever you want?"

Da Shan looked at her with his head tilted, "Don't you mean to ask me to exchange it for money?"

Although he is a hunter who works hard, his mind is very bright.

"Exactly," Tang Luoyu responded readily, then spread out the jade pendant in his palm and handed it to him, "Look."

Dashan glanced at the jade pendant in confusion, without any surprised expression on his face, he just said indifferently: "Could it be that you mean to ask me to exchange this thing for money?"

"That's right," Tang Luoyu explained enthusiastically even though she didn't find anything wrong, "This is Hetian jade from the Protectorate of the Western Regions. It is clear all over and warm to the touch. It is a rare gem in the world. The dowry at that time, if you bought it, you would be able to exchange it for a lot of money."

Before she finished speaking, Da Shan snorted coldly, full of sarcasm.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Luoyu looked at him puzzled.

"This thing," Da Shan pinched the jade pendant in her hand, as casually as if he were twisting a stubborn stone, "This thing is all over the mountains and plains opposite the Bald Mountain, and you can see a large area by digging a hoe anywhere, because There are too many of these things, and there is no way to plant trees and crops on the opposite hill, who cares about this thing.”

Tang Luoyu was stunned for a moment, but soon became alive again.

Many worthless chalcedony are also very similar to Hetian jade. Bald Mountain and the nearby hills are full of strange rocks. It is not uncommon for the entire hill to be full of chalcedony.

Thinking of this, she probed again: "Is this really true? Could it be that they are just similar looking stones?"

"Why did you lie to you, you see."

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Da Shan groped in his arms for a while, and finally took out a piece of unprocessed jade and handed it to Tang Luoyu.

She reached out to take it, and the moment her fingertips touched the jade, she knew she was wrong.

This is not chalcedony that can be seen everywhere, but real emerald!
This emerald has a pure water color, the whole body is dark green, uniform and clear, it is really a rare material, it does not need to be polished, it only needs to be finely cut to make a good jewelry.

"The girl's house near us sees this every day. It's not uncommon. Who knew you would like it," Da Shan scratched the back of his head, "I went to the mountain to pick up stones as a trap, and I happened to have one on me. I knew you would." If I like this thing, I will bring a few more dollars back.”

Tang Luoyu looked at the jade carefully, and recalled the jade mine that Chang Yuhu mentioned in his mind. Could it be that such a coincidence really exists in the world?
Thinking of this, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Da Shan's sleeve, "Where is the top of the mountain? Just take me to see it."

Dashan was taken aback by her excited look, and gave her a meaningful look, but insisted on not telling the truth, and instead asked deliberately, "Do you really want to know?"

"Of course!"

Tang Luoyu admitted it unequivocally.

"Yes, yes," Dashan cast his eyes into the distance, "it's just that your legs and feet are not good now, as long as you promise not to run around, I will take you to see it after you recover from your injury."

Tang Luoyu had black lines on his face, but he had no choice but to suppress the emotions in his heart, and agreed to his words.

In the early morning of the next day, Dashan got up early again, and went out after carrying the bow, arrow and dagger. Naturally, before leaving, he repeatedly asked Tang Luoyu not to run around.

On the surface, she agreed, but the calculation in her heart never stopped.

She is the wife of the magistrate of Yuedong, the daughter of the Tang family in the dignified capital, she has always been aggressive and decisive, how can she let her go?

Not long after Dashan went out, she began to secretly observe the terrain with her back foot, ready to slip away at any time.

Dashan's brain is considered clever among the Orion, but his mind is not as good as Tang Luoyu's. After giving instructions, he went to the mountain with confidence.

Today's luck is not as good as yesterday, he had no choice but to go to another mountain, and met other hunters at the foot of the mountain on the way, gradually, he walked deeper and deeper, plunged into the deep mountain.

After walking for a while, he finally heard the sound of some animals walking.

His ears moved, he slowed down his breathing, put the arrow on the bowstring, bowed his waist, slowed down his pace, and chased after the traces on the ground.

The tracks were very strange, not like the footprints of coyotes or roe deer, but more like horses.

How could there be horses in the mountains?Could it be a wild horse?
He turned his head around, and felt that something was wrong again.

Even wild horses live in groups, but the traces on the ground are not messy, there are only four or five horses at most. Could it be that someone rode a horse into the deep mountain?

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a horse kicking in front of him. His heart sank, and he became more and more sure that it was a wild horse. Looking through the grass, he really saw some reddish-brown colors.

If you can hunt a horse back, you won't have to hunt for a few days!

Before he had time to think about it, he drew the bowstring to the full, and then he jumped up suddenly with his toes, and aimed the arrow at the horse while staying in the air.

However, he was shocked again when the arrow shot out with a "swoosh".

Seeing that there were indeed several horses standing in the distance, but they were drawn by people, he was immediately annoyed, worried that the arrows might accidentally injure people.

At the same time, the people standing next to the horses also heard the sound of sniping arrows. These people were none other than Xue Lince and others who came here looking for Tang Luoyu.

"Beware!"

Chai Jin pushed aside Ke Ran, who was closest to the arrow, took a step forward, and held the menacing arrow tightly in his hand. The tail of the arrow vibrated, and the arrow barely stopped in front of Ke Ran's eyes, scaring him a lot. With a cry, he subconsciously grabbed Chai Jin's sleeve.

"Who is it? Your trick has been exposed, and you haven't shown up yet!"
