Longevity begins with Orion
Chapter 3 3. Troubled Times
Li Yuan had thought about going directly to the back of Erzhong Mountain because he had mastered "intermediate archery".
After all, whether in games or novels, if the level increases, won't the mobs in the next copy be easily captured?
But Li Yuan didn't want to take the risk.
From his memory, he knew that Yan Yu still had emergency money.
Four hundred coins, that is, four big bucks.
In the past, when there was a good harvest, these four big bucks could buy 40 kilograms of corn, but now it's a big deal if you can buy eleven or two kilograms.
No, I can’t buy one that weighs 11 or 2 pounds.
These eleven or two kilograms have to be bought on the black market. The road to the black market is long and dangerous.
Their only choice was the food store next to Xiaomo Village.
Black-hearted businessmen hoard goods just waiting for natural disasters and man-made disasters to make a fortune.
There, four big coins can be exchanged for seven or eight catties, which is a lot.
Seven or eight kilograms of corn, if eaten sparingly, would be enough for him and Yan Yu to eat for half a month.
Since there is still time, there is no need to go to the back of Erzhong Mountain now.
Li Yuan scanned his panel and values.
No matter what, there is still some hope.
"Test it in the next two days to see if you can increase the points you get every day."
Thinking of this, Li Yuan glanced at the dry stream and decided to go back.
At this moment, a "3~5" floated from the gray forest not far away. Li Yuan turned around and ran away without looking back.
The "3~5" people immediately quickened their pace, and at the same time, a man's voice with a sharp voice came.
"Motoko, why are you running?"
Li Yuan paused.
Hearing the voice, he immediately knew who it was.
Qian San is also a hunter, but unlike him, he is tall and powerful.
In addition, there are five brothers in Qian's family. They have many people and are powerful, which is completely different from a lonely person like him.
Sure enough, not far away, a strong man walked over quickly.
Unlike him, the man's face showed no worry at all, and his eyes flashed, giving people a very strong and aggressive feeling.
He grabbed a rough wooden hunting crossbow in his right hand, held a ferocious yellow dog in his left hand, and behind his back was a machete for close range use.
Qian San ran closer and patted him on the shoulder without any reason, and then said: "Yuanzi, are you going back empty-handed again? Are you going to starve your little lady to death?"
The relationship between the two is not that close at all. He is so casual, which is just a way of manipulating people.
Qian San hooked Li Yuan's shoulder, squeezed it casually, and said with a smile: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, thin, so thin, not even as thin as a hunter. Look, brother, if you can be half as strong as brother, then I just went to the back of Erzhong Mountain casually."
After saying that, Qian San had a proud look on his face, and then he seemed to be silent and stopped talking.
Based on what he knew about Li Yuan, Li Yuan would definitely ask, "What's in the back mountains? Is it easy to hunt in winter?" After he finished bragging, he might say, "Brother, please take me with you."
However, Li Yuan said: "Brother Qian, we are still waiting to go back for dinner at home."
"Eat?" Qian San raised his eyebrows and raised his voice a few times, "What's so delicious about the shabby rice you have at home? Follow me, and I'll take you to the back of Erzhong Mountain to eat delicious food and drink spicy food. Let's forget about the last time I chased you. I’ll fight back that wild boar, haha.”
As he spoke, he casually loosened the rope in his hand.
The yellow dog immediately ran away like a child, quite powerful.
After running a little further, the words "1~2" appeared on the yellow dog's head, and "2~3" appeared on Qian San's head.
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment. Is this a combination?
"Yuanzi, look at my Huang Ziduo Biao. It drives away pigs. When the time comes, you and I will block it together. How easy will it be to catch him? Huh?" Qian San's face was close to Li Yuan's side, glaring at him sideways.
"Brother Qian, it's really not possible. My injury hasn't healed yet. My waist and legs still hurt."
"Yuanzi, you're not giving me face, are you?" Qian San's expression turned cold.
"It really hurts."
"Then when you come to the mountain next time, when the pain stops, I will follow your Brother Qian to Erzhong Mountain, eh?"
Qian San stared at him fiercely, very savagely.
"Okay, I'll do it next time, I'll do it next time." Li Yuan said hurriedly.
Qian San then let go of his hand and tapped him again.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from not far away. The two of them looked and saw a thinner hunter.
Qian San focused on the hunter again, pulled back the yellow dog, and walked over carelessly.
Li Yuan took the opportunity to leave quickly.
He knew what Qian San was thinking.
I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to go to Erzhong Mountain alone, so I wanted to find someone to support me first. He was bragging a lot before going, but after going there, he might use you as cannon fodder.
Moreover, the back of the Erzhong Mountain is also a natural place to "destroy corpses and eliminate traces".
If you kill someone and throw away the body, then wild animals will be attracted and the body will be dragged to an unknown place to be eaten.
Even if you go to report to the official, it is useless. First of all, the official does not initiate a report and review. In this year of famine, it is normal to wait for ten days and a half.
Even if we don't put it aside, we won't be able to find the body after we go to Erzhong Mountain.
Even if the body is found, it has long been eaten by wild animals, and the role of the corpse is gone. So, is it the wild beast or the human that is responsible for the murder? It's hard to tell.
Therefore, in all likelihood, when the county magistrate knew that the person disappeared behind Erzhong Mountain, he didn't even want to investigate, so he just closed the case.
After Li Yuan left, he did not follow the road, but took a detour and returned home.
In the courtyard, the door was ajar.
Lady Yan tilted her hips slightly and piled the newly picked firewood into the corner.
She didn't dare to go far, so she just picked up some broken branches from a nearby tree.
Hearing the noise at this time, he turned his head hurriedly. After seeing the young man's appearance clearly, he showed a relaxed smile, spring and joy flashed across his pretty face: "Brother Yuan!!"
"Brother Yuan!"
She rushed over and threw herself into the boy's arms, as if her hanging heart had settled down.
"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan."
she murmured softly
"What's wrong?" Li Yuan smiled.
"I saw wild dogs digging up the body. The body was just buried a few days ago."
"It's not buried deep enough."
"Brother Yuan, I'm afraid."
"I'm afraid too. I didn't catch anything today."
"no problem, no problem."
The woman took her head out of his arms, held his cheeks with both hands, and whispered, "We are all fine, that's good."
Her facial features are actually very beautiful, and when you stare at them up close, you can see a bit of impulsive femininity.
"Where did you see the wild dog? How about we go and kill the wild dog?" Li Yuan was somewhat moved.
Lady Yan was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, and then said: "He has long disappeared.
By the way, Brother Yuan, today I exchanged two big coins for two kilograms of corn, two kilograms of bran, and two kilograms of beans. I mixed them together and cooked them. I should be able to eat them for a while."
"Did anyone see you when you came back?"
"Aunt Wang and her men were also there. They helped me, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to buy so much at once."
The two fell silent
After a day of depression, something seemed to be stirring.
Suddenly, Yan Yu exclaimed.
"Brother Yuan, what are you doing?"
Li Yuan's arms had already crossed the crook of her legs, hugging the pretty village girl across her arms, and strode towards the house.
"Brother Yuan, the rice isn't cooked yet."
"Brother Yuan"
"Brother Yuan"
The sound gradually disappeared and turned into a chat between you and me in the clouds and rain, which was not very sweet.
