Silly Hunter's Wife

Leijia fur shop in Taoshan Town.

Lei Dayou introduced to Song Chun his sworn brother, Jiang Dongyuan, a medicine merchant from Guan Nei.

Song Chun didn't want to say anything to him, so he directly proposed conditions to Jiang Dongyuan: "Three gold bars, first give a deposit for one gold bar, and I will send you a bear gall and four chest palms within seven days. "

She didn't mention the matter of bear skin, she thought Lei Dayou would know how to say it.

Sure enough, Lei Dayou later assured Jiang Dongyuan that Song Chun was the only hunter he knew who knew how to hunt bears and had hunted bears before.Song Chun is absolutely reliable, as long as you give her a gold bar as a deposit, within seven days, you will definitely send him the bear bile and bear's paw.

In fact, Shopkeeper Lei is just repeating these words.

Before asking Song Chun to come to Taoshan Town today, he had roughly mentioned Song Chun's conditions. Jiang Dongyuan met Song Chun today, but he just wanted to hear Song Chun's conditions with his own ears.

It's not that he can't trust Lei Dayou as a sworn brother, but that in business, in front of business, any friendship should be put aside.

Now that what Song Chun heard was similar to what Lei Dayou said, Jiang Dongyuan felt relieved.

He said that he could give Song Chun the deposit for a gold bar, but he wanted Song Chun to write a document and find someone to be a guarantor, sign and draw a deposit.It was written in the document that if Song Chun received a gold bar and did not send him a bear bile and four bear paws after seven days, not only would he have to return his gold bar, but he would also be compensated 50 silver dollars.If Song Chun sent a bear gall and four bear paws after seven days, then he would supply Song Chun with two more gold bars as agreed.

Song Chun used to hunt and kill a bear to avenge his grandfather, and when he sold bear bile and paws, he had never signed such a document.So, she asked Lei Dayou, is this appropriate?

Lei Dayou said: "The main reason is that you first received the deposit of a gold bar from my brother, so you signed this document. If you don't collect the deposit, you don't need to sign such a document."

Song Chun thought that he was out of money, if he didn't accept Jiang Dongyuan's conditions, and bought food and clothing for Er Niu later, he wouldn't be able to pay for it.Also, if she wanted to go into the mountains to hunt bears, she also needed to prepare some things, and also bought some things for Er Niu to eat at home, all of which required money.

In addition, she thought that she had decided to go into the mountains to hunt bears, so that Er Niu could live a good life without worrying about food and drink, so she never thought about retreating.

Thinking about it this way, Song Chun agreed to sign a document with Jiang Dongyuan, and write down the matter of the two people's fierce trade.

Lei Dayou personally wrote two copies of the same document and showed them to both parties. Song Chun and Jiang Dongyuan put their fingerprints on it and each took a copy.

Then, Jiang Dongyuan gave Song Chun a gold bar.

Song Chun took the gold bar, folded the document, put them together in his inner pocket, bid farewell to Jiang Dongyuan and Lei Dayou, went out, called Erniu who was sitting on a chair in the shop outside, The two walked out of the fur shop.

Er Niu asked her: "Is everything settled?"

Song Chun smiled at Mimi and said, "Yes, let's go, I'm rich, and I'll take you to eat things in town that you haven't eaten the last time you came to the market."

Er Niu hummed, and her round black eyes on the red scarf were full of smiles.

Song Chun took her hand and came out, strolled on the street, first went to the bank to exchange gold bars for oceans, then bought her all the things Er Niu hadn't eaten last time, and paid for the things she hadn't played with. she goes to play.

String puppets, shadow puppetry, kaleidoscope, Lao Maozi's magic show and so on.

The two ate, drank and played in the town. It was not until the afternoon that Chunzi went to find a familiar weapon shop to prepare for the bear hunt.

Fifty bullets, bow | crossbow and crossbow | arrows, matches, a bundle of coarse twine, two bottles of wine.

Of course, these things were not enough. Song Chun also had binoculars, a hunting axe, traps, and a sleeping bag made of roe deer skin at home.In addition, she has to make a wooden sleeve herself, which is used to cover the bear.

In fact, this wooden sleeve is to dig two large holes on the left and right sides of the pine board. The size of the holes is suitable for a bear's paw to pass through.

All that is left is to prepare some dry food, which should last for four or five days.

From the town, I took a carriage back to Linzitun. There were a lot of things piled up on the carriage, food and use, including Er Niu's and Song Chun's.

After returning home, Song Chun immediately started to make the wooden sleeve. After more than two hours, she finished the wooden sleeve and started cooking.

Considering that it would take five or six days to come back after hunting bears in the mountains, Song Chun steamed a basket of steamed buns, baked dozens of cakes, and marinated a large pot of meat.She prepared all these meats for Er Niu.

After marinating the meat, she cut up all the meat and put it in a large earthen pot, telling Er Niu: "After I go hunting in the mountains tomorrow, if you are hungry, scoop out some of the meat and put it in a bowl. Boil water in the pot, put the curtain in the pot, and put the steamed buns and meat in it to heat up before eating."

Fearing that Er Niu would not know how to do it, she personally demonstrated to Er Niu how to make steamed buns and hot dishes.

It was getting dark, and the two of them sat opposite each other on the kang to eat. In addition to the steamed buns and stewed pork that they made today, Song Chun also stewed a pot of pickled fish.She scooped up a bowl of fish and ate it, and kept the rest for Er Niu.

I bought a lot of dim sum and snacks in the town today, Song Chun estimated that Er Niu would stay at home and eat these things, and he should come back when he had almost eaten.

In the end, she told Er Niu that if she had nothing to eat, she would go to Sun Lianhua next door, and she would come and cook for Er Niu.Before she goes into the mountain tomorrow, she will ask Sun Lianhua to come over and chat with Er Niu.

But Erniu said no, she said she could take care of herself, so Song Chun could go there with peace of mind.

That night, Song Chun washed up early after eating, and went to bed after blowing out the oil lamp.

Er Niu didn't bother her, and stepped up her cultivation to make up for the loss.

The next morning, Song Chun got up and made breakfast, checked all the things she was going to bring into the mountain, and took everything with her.

When she went out, she told Er Niu not to come out to see her off, but to stay at home, and before she came back, she should not associate with anyone except the Zhao family.

Er Niu said that she remembered it.

Song Chun took the hound Xiaobai out, and when passing by the Zhao family next door, he went to say hello to the Zhao family, and especially asked Sun Lianhua to go and accompany Erniu when he had time, and he would be back in three or four days if all went well.

Zhao's family told her to pay attention to safety and hoped that she would return safely.

Song Chun smiled and nodded: "I'll come back with bear bile and bear paws."

The Zhao family sent her off, and only went back when they saw her go up the mountain.

After Song Chun entered the mountain, he went straight to Heixiong Ridge.

That place is the place with the most black bears within a radius of tens of miles that she knows.

Song Chun stepped on the snow for more than seven hours before reaching Heixiong Ridge, and it was already dark at this time.

She needs to find a place to spend the night first, and then she can go to find out where a black bear is hiding in this mountain forest early tomorrow morning, and then hunt the bear.
