Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting
#22 - A branch of pear blossoms overwhelms the crabapple (seeking recommendation votes)
After sitting by the fire for a good while, Tang Wen's tense heart gradually relaxed.
It was too close!
If that silver wolf had chased after him, would he have survived?
Tang Wen's palms were icy cold, and he had no confidence in his heart.
From now on, he would never leave the camp again.
Practice martial arts, practice stances!
He needed to improve his strength first.
Having witnessed the power of mutated beasts, he now understood why everyone in the camp spoke of them with fear.
Moving the house earlier was indeed necessary, otherwise, the silver wolf could have crushed the shack at the camp entrance with just one paw!
The guards sent someone to notify the clinic, and Doctor Li came to pick up Tang Wen at a leisurely pace.
After warming up by the fire in the stone house for a while, the sweat on Tang Wen's body had dried. Before leaving, he took out a tied-up wild chicken and handed it to the guard who had let him in.
The guard declined for a moment, then accepted it with a smile, saying to his colleagues, "We're having chicken for dinner tonight."
They were city guards, usually active on various sections of the city wall, with good treatment and generally easy work, but without any extra income.
"Tang Wen, right? Next time, just come on in even without a badge!" another guard laughed.
"Haha, thank you, brothers."
Doctor Li watched this scene with interest.
After Tang Wen said goodbye to the guards, he led him slowly inside.
"Over there is the academy, where children learn to read. Children from the inner city can attend classes for free during the day."
As they walked, Doctor Li casually introduced the locations in the inner city to him.
"Look, you should like those small buildings ahead."
Tang Wen saw a row of stone houses with red silk ribbons tied at the entrances.
Doctor Li said with a beaming face, "Hehe, the House of Joy."
Hearing the name and seeing his expression, Tang Wen knew what kind of place it was. A gust of wind blew, carrying a strong scent of powder.
"Two guests, want to have some fun?"
A big sister wearing a fur coat, but with very little clothing underneath, saw Tang Wen and her eyes lit up.
Tang Wen's face flushed with embarrassment: Soliciting customers on the street was too brazen!
The level of temptation was not comparable to the small-time technicians under the streetlights of his previous life.
"Another day, another day," Doctor Li said with a smile, patting the woman's hand, showing the true colors of a regular customer.
Along the street, they passed several shops, restaurants, martial arts gyms. Doctor Li introduced them one by one.
In a daze, Tang Wen had the illusion that he was strolling through an ancient town, and had not experienced life and death at all.
Whoosh.
The silly roe deer in the basket behind him moved.
Okay!
He had indeed risked his life hunting just now.
Looking down at the hard road surface, it was not a dirt road, but a road paved with a mixture of sand and stones, compacted and flattened by something, a bit like the stone roads in his village when he was a child.
Also, the fire in the guard's stone house seemed to be burning coal.
So, this world does have some technological civilization, although not much, but it still counts.
The two turned into a small alley and arrived at a courtyard, Doctor Li's home.
"Master! You're back!"
A crisp voice came, and a woman walked out of the house, with excellent looks and figure.
This?
Judging by her age, she was only about sixteen years old?
That's illegal! Really illegal!
Doctor Li was a pear blossom pressing against the sea of棠!
Tang Wen didn't look too much, put down the basket, and took out the shivering silly roe deer from inside.
It had been frightened all the way.
"Not bad, this silly deer meat also has a unique flavor. Leave the pair of rabbits too!"
Tang Wen agreed, and reached out to take out the wild rabbits, and couldn't help but ask: "Today, I encountered a group of very powerful silver wolf mutated beasts in the wild. Does the inner city have experts who can kill them?"
Doctor Li smiled nonchalantly: "Then do you see anyone panicking in the inner city?"
"Not really." They even had the mind to solicit customers, and no one seemed to be panicking: "But the silver wolves seem to come every year."
"That's because the Silver Wolf King is good at escaping! Besides, even if we kill it, other beast kings will come to this area. Do you think it's better to have a familiar enemy, or an unknown danger?"
"Uh, so that's how it is." Tang Wen suddenly understood.
"Don't worry too much, mutated beasts aren't that scary. Your street is still considered safe. But, don't go out hunting recently. Practice the stance exercises I taught you properly. Next spring, I'll help you sign up for the guard selection. As long as you can pass the assessment, I guarantee you can join the hunting team!"
"Hunting team?"
"You're a hunter, joining the hunting team is perfect for you."
Tang Wen nodded thoughtfully.
Saying goodbye to Doctor Li's house, he looked around and saw no one, he took out his money bag and opened it. Inside, besides a pile of copper coins, there were also several silver ingots, square in shape, like large sugar cubes.
Reaching out and pinching one, he looked at it back and forth, confirming that there were no markings on the silver ingot, then he put it in his pocket and walked towards the clothing store on the street.
Cotton coat, cotton pants, cotton quilt, mattress. He was missing everything at home, and the clothes quickly filled two whole sacks.
At the counter, the shopkeeper picked up the silver ingot and weighed it, dipped a brush in ink, calculated it on paper, and gave him back a few silver beans.
"The purchasing power of silver ingots is not bad!"
It wasn't money he earned through hard work, so he didn't feel bad spending it.
Seeing that it wasn't dark yet.
He came to the butcher shop to ask for prices.
"10 copper coins for a pound of good meat!"
Food prices were always expensive. Just when Tang Wen was considering whether to get some fatty meat to render oil.
He suddenly thought of the beast herd he encountered today.
How many wild animals would die today?
Would the guards bring them back to the city to sell?
The most up-to-date novels are first published on Li-u-9-shu-ba!
In that case, buying meat tomorrow would definitely be cheaper!
Thinking of this, he turned and left, passed another gate in the city, passed several shops on the outskirts of the camp, and returned home.
"Why did you bring back so many things?"
Two large sacks of cotton quilts, cotton clothes, cotton boots. Gray, black, brand new clothes.
The young lady, who had never seen new clothes, cheered and circled the bags twice!
"Did you exchange them all for meat?" After being happy, Tang Tang felt something was wrong.
"A few people came to rob me, but in the end, they ended up giving me money."
"Then them?"
"Well, they can't trouble me anymore," thinking of the silver wolf, Tang Wen was very sure.
"That's good!"
The young lady became happy again, moved the straw on the bed down, carefully wiped away the dust, and laid the newly bought bedding on it.
"There are mutated beasts outside the camp, I won't go out hunting recently."
Tang Wen said his recent plans, and Tang Tang nodded repeatedly: "We shouldn't go hunting in winter, we have enough food to eat."
The next day, Tang Wen took the clinic's identity card and brought his sister to the inner city.
Tang Tang, wearing new cotton clothes for the first time, entering the city for the first time, found everything new and interesting, and wanted to visit every store, but as soon as she entered, everything felt expensive.
The two came to the butcher shop to buy meat. After all, the yellow goat was to be given to Doctor Li as a gift, and the two of them might not have meat to eat on a daily basis.
How can one practice martial arts without eating meat?
"What kind of thing has such big legs?"
"It should be a moose."
Looking at the butcher shop filled with meat, he smiled.
As expected, the price of meat had also dropped to eight copper coins a pound.
"Eight copper coins a pound with bones? Too expensive." Tang Tang stepped forward to take a look, and pulled her brother away: "There are other butcher shops over there."
"Hey, hey, don't go! It's negotiable, six copper coins a pound with bones."
"If we want more, can it be cheaper?"
"A hundred pounds", the owner gritted his teeth and said: "If you can buy a hundred pounds, I'll give you five and a half copper coins a pound."
Tang Tang calculated, and a smile appeared: "Okay! Four copper coins a pound, we want four hundred pounds."
"Uh, you girl, that's not how you calculate it."
Tang Tang's smile gradually disappeared, and a pair of big eyes stared at the boss blankly.
"Okay, okay, four and a half copper coins a pound! I didn't even buy it for this price, just consider it making a friend, do you really want four hundred pounds?"
The butcher shop owner chopped the moose's legs and a rack of ribs into small pieces.
Tang Wen showed his identity card, and the owner borrowed a donkey to help them carry the meat.
On the way, Tang Tang saw cheap white radishes, and Tang Wen bought chili seasoning.
On the donkey's back, the bags became more and more.
With food in hand, one doesn't panic.
Next, Tang Wen was going to seclude himself to practice martial arts.
Besides cooking and cleaning the room, Tang Tang also prepared to practice with her brother.
Like this time, she was very interested in the crossbow that Tang Wen brought back.
