Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 374 373. Liao Di’s experiences 9
Liaoning.

The weather is getting cooler day by day.

Among the forests.

At the beginning, the hunter's single clothes became bulky.

His hands were also wearing fingerless gloves.

The scarf made of wool tied the neck tightly without exposing any flesh.

Hold your breath.

Concentrate.

An arrow was shot, and under the tree, a pheasant that was looking for food was shot through the chest and abdomen by the arrow.

Li Ming quickly walked out from behind the tree with a bright smile on his face. He took out the arrows from the pheasant's chest and abdomen and stuffed them back into the quiver.

"What's up, Brother A, my hands are a bit more elegant than yours!"

After picking up the pheasant, Li Ming seemed to ask behind another tree to take credit.

Huo Qubing leaned out and nodded with a look of relief on his face.

"good."

"Haha, it's all taught by Brother A!"

Li Ming laughed loudly as he hung the pheasant on the special prey hook of his backpack.

The two have been partners for four or five months, and now they have a tacit understanding. Huo Qubing has also handed over all his archery skills to Li Ming.

A smile appeared on Huo Qubing's lips and he waved: "Let's go. The notice from above has arrived. The mountain will be closed in half a month. It's time for us to go down."

"Come on, September has passed, and it will start snowing in late October. There will be nothing to do in the next three or four months. Brother A, have you thought of any odd jobs? Take me with you. "

After packing up the hunting tools, Li Ming followed Huo Qubing and walked down the mountain.

When passing the hunter's cabin, the two of them refilled the firewood shed and water tank as usual.

"I haven't decided what to do yet. Xiaoguang is about to go on winter vacation. Let's stay at home and tutor him with his homework."

Huo Qubing closed the wooden door of the hunter's cabin and spoke.

"That's it."

Li Ming scratched his head and swallowed what he wanted to say for a while.

Huo Qubing was still familiar with this little brother whom he had been with for almost half a year. One look at his appearance and he knew that he had something to say, so he said angrily.

"If you have something to say, just say it. What, did you agree to something for someone else?"

"That's not true. I thought Brother A couldn't stay idle, so I asked my brother to find a friend to arrange work for the next few months. If Brother A has arrangements, forget it."

Li Ming was a little embarrassed, but Huo Qubing felt warm in his heart.

He knew what his little brother was thinking. He was indeed short of money in the past six months, and all the prey and wild products in his daily hunting quota were sold at the foot of the mountain.

Li Ming did this because he knew his family's current situation and wanted to help him.

"What's the matter? If you want to make money, I can go there."

After feeding his horse a handful of soybeans, Huo Qubing looked at Li Ming and asked.

"Oh oh oh, isn't it true that the marine fishing fleet of the Department of Marine Products has recently been recruiting new recruits on a large scale? I just wanted to go to sea for two or three months, and the wages are quite high, so I asked my brother Ask, some of his former comrades went to work as captains in the Marine Products Department after being discharged from the army, and they are all close people."

"That's it. I'll go back and think about it, and we'll talk about it then."

"to make."

Li Ming nodded.

After feeding the horse, the two hung the prey they had hunted in the past few days on the horse's back. They were all pheasants and hares. They didn't have much meat, but their fur and feathers were still worth some money.

This is one of the benefits of mountain range hunters. Since the last time the two reported the news of the northern wolf invasion, their salary has been increased by 77% from the beginning, to [-] coins a month, plus On hunting and bounty, the monthly income is one hundred and thirty-four, which is considered a good job in Liao land.

This was not the case when Huo Qubing came home several times before, and matchmakers came to visit him, but he always turned them down because he was busy with official duties.

Nowadays, he is the only one who can make money in the Huo family. Xiaoguang wants to study, and his mother and housekeeper are both old, so he can't think about his own affairs.

Fortunately, Xiaoguang also managed to live up to his expectations. After enrolling for only one semester, he got a scholarship, so he didn't have to spend a penny of his family's money to study.

"Let's go, A Ming. Let's go to the Patrol Division to hand over the shift."

"Okay." Everything in the hunter's hut has been put away, including firewood, water, and some dry food that can be stored for a long time.

These are the habits of mountain range hunters.

Sometimes if someone gets lost in the mountains, these huts are places that can save someone's life.

After descending the mountain, the two rode horses for more than four hours before returning to Liaoning City.

I went to the Mountain Patrol Department and put the bow, hunter's dagger, quiver, and mountain patrol sentry into the warehouse.

"Hand over, hand over, I'm back in the city. How many brothers are you in Zuihuafang?"

"Let's start walking. A glass of wine on this cold day will make your body feel comfortable."

"Let's go together. I heard that Zuihuafang has released a new storybook. The storyteller tells it very well. What is it called? What is it?"

"Hey, you'll know after we go, whether Xiao Ming is going or not, and this guy."

There were many mountain patrol hunters who came back to take over their duties. In the armament storehouse, some hunters were shouting and it was very lively.

Huo Qubing was also among them, but they didn't talk much. One was new to Liao and couldn't talk, and the other, although he knew a lot, was only in his teens.

"Huo Jia."

Huo Qubing replied to the man looking at him.

Then he waved his hand: "My mother is still waiting at home, so I won't go."

Li Ming also replied: "You know my brother, you know that I went to drink, why don't you beat me to death? If you don't go, don't go."

"Okay, brothers, let's go."

"Let's go."

After a while, the noisy warehouse became quiet.

After Huo Qubing and Li Ming returned the equipment and horses of the Mountain Patrol Department, they also left the Mountain Patrol Department and walked on the streets of Fangshi.

For four to five months, Huo Qubing's monthly salary of 100 yuan, excluding family expenses, saved more than [-] yuan a month.

He went to the bank and withdrew twenty white dragon coins, leaving a deposit of fourteen or fifteen coins left in his account.

This is what he has saved in the past six months, a total of 35 white dragons and more than 500 Qi coins, which is equivalent to several thousand Han coins.

Being a mountain hunter is a good job. Although it is also very dangerous and there are wild beasts in the mountains and forests, in the end it is still much safer than fighting on the battlefield.

A Liang had arranged such a job for him, and Huo Qubing also remembered that he would buy a bottle of good wine later, as people in the world still have to move around.

"A Ming, are you okay later? Come with me if you have nothing to do?"

"Okay, Brother A, it's not like you don't know that my brother is in the army and I'm the only one in the family. It's lonely when I go back."

Li Ming nodded in agreement.

"Well, at this time, the garrison captain is also off duty. Come with me to meet an old friend."

"okay."

"Little Light!"

Outside the Meng Xue School, Su Yue waved her arms and greeted Huo Guang, who was walking out of the school gate carrying a schoolbag.

Seeing Su Yue, Huo Guang also had a bright smile on his face and ran over briskly.

"Sister Su."

"Haha, you are already so tall. In two years, Xiaoguang, you will almost catch up with your brother."

Su Yue gestured at the height of the two of them. When she first arrived in Liaodi, Huo Guang only reached her chest and abdomen. Now, only half a year later, Huo Guang's height has reached her shoulders. You know, she herself is also growing. when.

"Hey, the food in the school is good."

Huo Guang remembered his nickname in school and laughed a little embarrassedly.

"Let's go. I asked my sister. Today also happens to be the shift change day of the Mountain Patrol Division. I'm afraid your brother is back too."

"Really? That's great, Sister Su, let's go quickly."

When he heard the news about his brother, the smile on Huo Guang's face became even bigger. He hadn't seen his brother for half a year. Either he, Xiu Mu, and his brother were busy, or his brother, Xiu Mu, was in school, so the time just happened to be missed. .
