Chapter 3 Reward Withdrawal
Yang De fell into a deep sleep after drinking, but Yang Chang was preoccupied with something and did not fall asleep until late at night.
The uncle and nephew were staying away from home, but they were impolite and slept until the end of the day. Fortunately, there were many guests last night and the host did not pay attention to them.
It was not until the sound of gongs and drums outside the house came that Yang De jumped up from the couch in shock.
Seeing that it was bright outside the window, he hurriedly woke up Yang Chang beside him.
"Sanlang, what time is it? Why aren't you up yet?"
"what?"
Yang Chang staggered to his feet, rubbed his eyes and yawned, and found that his fifth uncle was no longer in the guest room.
He went downstairs, made the bed, and then ran out.
When he found Yang De in the front yard, Yang Chang discovered that he looked unwell.
"Uncle Wu, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, go get the hunting fork and the crossbow, and we'll go home now."
"No, where's Wu Song?"
"Why ask him? He seems very familiar with you."
Yang De rolled his eyes at him and mocked him, "He is a tiger-killing hero, so he will naturally be carried to the county to ask for a reward. Just now, they were sending him off with gongs and drums. Did they come to ask for your opinion?"
"That's not what I meant." Yang Chang waved his hand and explained, "It's true that Wu Song killed the tiger, but we have been keeping watch on him these days. Even if we don't have any credit, we have worked hard."
"What are you thinking about?"
After Yang De finished his ridicule, he shook his head and reminded, "You ate a lot of wine and food last night, so it's not our turn to invite the reward. Let's go, let's kill that beast. We've wasted a few months, and we can go back just in time to plant winter wheat."
"Oh"
Yang Chang responded and went back to the guest room to get his hunting fork. He had been thinking about hugging Wu Song's thighs last night, but he ended up getting drunk and slept so late.
After a while, the uncle and nephew said goodbye and went home, put down their bags and went to the fields.
During this period, the two of them guarded the mountain, and the family's life was entirely taken care of by Mrs. Lu.
At this time, she was turning the soil and making fertilizer in the field in preparation for the upcoming sowing of winter wheat. Her nine-year-old son, who had not yet started to learn to read, followed her to the field and played in the mud.
With two men joining in, the tillage work went much faster.
In the past six months since Yang Chang came to the country, he has not had the opportunity to work on the farm. Lu was surprised to find that her nephew was quite capable of doing farm work. He could swing the hoe for two hours without taking a break. Even Yang De did not have such ability.
After returning home from work in the afternoon, Mrs. Lu deliberately called Yang De to the kitchen to light the fire, and took the opportunity to ask, "I see that Sanlang is quite strong. He has not made much progress in following you to hunt for half a year. He should just stay at home and do farm work in the future."
"Where do you think your strength comes from? Isn't it from hunting and bow training with me? Besides, what's the use of just being strong? We only have a few acres of thin land, and more strength doesn't mean more production. If we don't make up for it from other places, how can we support this family?"
"That's right."
Mrs. Lu thought the man was right, so she lowered her head and kneaded the dough without mentioning the matter.
Yang De put the firewood in the stove, and thinking of Yang Chang's exaggerated appetite last night, he told Lu: "Sanlang has a lot of work to do today, so prepare more food later."
"okay."
According to the normal amount of food her family eats, Mrs. Lu immediately made twenty more steamed buns, and saved any that could not be eaten at night for breakfast the next day.
However, she underestimated Yang Chang's appetite, just like she underestimated the other party's strength.
Yang Chang ate up all the reserved steamed buns and looked like he was still not satisfied. Yang De was no longer surprised by this, but Lu was so shocked that she was drooling.
In late autumn, insects no longer chirped at night. Yang Chang went to the toilet in the middle of the night in a hurry and unexpectedly heard the chattering of Yang De and his wife.
"What's wrong with Sanlang today? His appetite is several times higher than before."
"He did a lot of work, but I also find it strange. Maybe he lost his energy lifting the big insect last night, and the celebratory wine has whetted his appetite."
"Has he developed an appetite? You said it during the day. It's useless to have strength without land. If his appetite is always this big, won't our family go bankrupt if he doesn't eat it all up?"
"Sanlang is now helpless and has suffered for me before. We can't just ignore him. We have to find a way to make up for it. You keep working in the fields. I have to hunt more game and sell it in the city before winter comes."
"Hunting depends on luck. It's better to find some work in the city."
Yang Chang heard what was said behind him and tiptoed away.
He traveled through time with a golden finger, and was unwilling to stay in the countryside and farm.
If the white-browed tiger were still alive and knew that Yang Chang used its power to farm the land, it would probably die with regret, but for now, he had to solve the livelihood problem first.
I don't seem to have any special skills except the "power of a tiger". How can I
Yang Changcai had just returned to his room and laid down, when he suddenly sat up and saw the moonlight outside the window. His heart suddenly became lively. [The power of a tiger] was secondary. Since he was born as a [corpse collector], he should make good use of it.
Strength can be seen from the corpse of a tiger. Rabbits, pheasants, musk deer, wild boars and other animals will definitely drop other good things, so the hunter's skills must be practiced well.
Go into the mountains, go into the mountains tomorrow.
Although he is only a hunter apprentice, with the blessing of [the power of a tiger], wouldn't hunting be easy?
Yang Chang's mind was still not open. He thought that he could only pick up animal corpses and did not think about human corpses. Otherwise, the best place to pick up corpses would be the battlefield. The profession that best matched his fate was a soldier.
The next morning, after dinner, Yang Chang volunteered to go into the mountains to hunt alone.
Seeing Yang Guang's determined look, Yang De couldn't bear to leave all the farming to Lu, so he told Yang Guang to be careful and return home early.
Yang Chang left home with a bow and arrow, hunting fork, rope, hunting knife and other tools, and headed straight for the mountains to hunt with full confidence. However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
As the number of hunters in the village decreased, Yang Chang's chance of encountering wild beasts increased when he went into the mountains, but he had strength but no speed to catch up, and prey would not stay where they were and wait to die.
After wandering in the mountains for most of the day, Yang Changlian didn't catch a single pheasant. Instead, he got so nervous and flustered while shooting that he lost control of his strength and broke the back of the bow.
Afterwards, he felt it was too embarrassing to go home empty-handed, so he chopped two bundles of firewood and carried them home.
When Yang De saw that he had no catch, he not only did not blame him, but instead praised him for his quick mind and flexibility, and encouraged him to keep up the good work.
His uncle and aunt were busy planting winter wheat, so Yang Chang went into the mountains early the next day. As a result, this [hunter's apprentice] came back empty-handed again, and had to carry another load of firewood back, turning himself into a woodcutter.
On the afternoon of the third day, Yang Chang finally realized what it meant to be a "Hunter's Apprentice". It turned out that being a "Hunter's Apprentice" was not enough to make a living.
“Hunting is difficult.”
Yang Chang was so angry that he threw away his hunting pitchfork, cursed and sat under a tree, gasping for breath.
When I was extremely disappointed, I saw a pair of long ears shaking in the short grass two meters away.
Looking closely, it turned out to be a gray rabbit, staring at Yang Chang with its harelip shaking.
"What are you looking at? Do you look down on apprentices too?"
There was a hint of helplessness in Yang Chang's words. The rabbit seemed to feel that the safe distance was enough, so it stood there eating grass and did not run away.
This "taunting" behavior stimulated Yang Chang. He grabbed a small stone beside him and threw it at the rabbit with great force.
Whoosh.
Vigorously miracle.
The stone accelerated too quickly and accidentally hit the gray rabbit.
Then the flashing logo that was picked up appeared as the gray rabbit was killed.
"Finally you are here."
Yang Chang happily ran over, squatted down, touched the rabbit corpse and picked up the reward.
[Obtain the Rabbit's Thrill. Use it to increase your desire. Please choose to use it or discard it. ]
give up!
Yang Chang had almost no hesitation and thought that this was the so-called dregs.
Rabbits are in heat all year round, so won’t they become teddy bears after using this?
Hunting is not easy for me, and picking up items with good attributes also depends on luck. It seems that hunter is not suitable for me.
Yang Chang was thinking to himself with a bitter expression. He was just about to pick up the rabbit and go down the mountain when he suddenly saw a flash of white light on the rabbit's corpse.
Huh? Is there something else?
I lowered my head and leaned over to take a closer look, and after a while I finally saw a pea-sized ball of mud on the fur.
Hold it in your hand and the prompt will appear.
[Thibbling pills can stimulate inner desires and last for one hour. ]
Wow, it turns out that I can withdraw cash if I give up?
Previously, by using [Essence of the Tiger], Yang Chang permanently increased his strength. Now that he gave up the reward for cashing out, it seems to have become a trial card?
Interesting, interesting.
Yang Chang then put the pills away, intending to use them for breeding cattle and sheep in the future.
