Chapter 6 Money in the pocket

The journey is long, and Xiao Yi plans to buy a horse for transportation.

But he worked in Wudang Mountain for eight years but didn't get a penny of his salary. He only had less than 200 Wuzhu coins in his hand. He went up the mountain to hunt and collect herbs and went back to hunt and collect herbs and went to exchange for his brothers.

But ancient horses were as expensive as modern cars. Ordinary horses used for transportation started at 30 jin and five jin of zhu, and if they were famous horses, they would be more than 10,000 jin.

Xiao Yi really couldn't afford it, so he had to work hard to walk on two legs.

It was almost noon, and finally saw a noodle restaurant on the side of the road. Xiao Yi immediately went over and found a seat to sit down.

The waiter came over to ask for something to eat, and Xiao Yiyu asked for a bowl of the cheapest Yangchun noodles.

For Xiao Yi, a bowl of spring noodles with seven copper coins is not enough to resist hunger. Even if Xiao Yi can hold it back, his wealth will not be enough for Daxing, and he will have to go hungry halfway through the journey.

Xiao Yi was eating noodles while thinking in his heart. No wonder there were few people in ancient times who traveled far away. The money on this journey alone would consume half of their lives. If he didn't think of a way to make some money, it would be difficult to reach Daxing.

However, the surrounding area is full of remote areas, so if you want to find a job and earn some money, you can only go to a big town. The nearest big place is Xiangyang City.

There were no customers in the noodle shop, so Xiao Yi started chatting with the shop assistant and inquired about some news about Xiangyang City.

The shopkeeper has never entered Xiangyang City since he was a child, but the merchants often reveal some news, so he said to listen to Xiao Yi.

Many of the news were actually outdated, but the guy said that the city people liked to eat some wild game and immediately reminded Xiao Yi. He could definitely take some prey and sell it in the city. He could not only exchange some money for travel expenses, but also eat some wild game to fill his stomach, killing two birds with one stone.

Xiao Yi suddenly became happy and asked the guy about prey in the nearby places. Coincidentally, the guy really knew something, so he told Xiao Yi.

In the next few days, Xiao Yi stopped and hunted in the mountains near the official road.

Over the past eight years, Xiao Yi has increased his arm strength by diligent training. At this time, he has added ten steel sheets to increase elasticity to ten stones, reaching the power of ten stones and being able to pull the full. The strong bow of ten stones, combined with the carefully modified cross-tailed winged cloud arrow, no prey can escape within two hundred steps.

With this cloud-piercing bow, Xiao Yi finally filled his stomach. He could catch some wild deer, roe deer, pheasant and other prey every day, but he also exchanged some money, but he was still far from buying a carriage horse.

During this period, Xiao Yi was most happy to hunt a giant panda. In ancient times, there were a large number of giant pandas, especially in the Badong area where Xiao Yi is now, giant pandas are as ordinary as hares in the mountains. Later generations dared to eat anything but dared not eat giant pandas. Now Xiao Yi has eaten a few meals of panda meat, but he has no regrets.

When Xiao Yi was about to arrive in Xiangyang City that day, the weather was beautiful. When Xiao Yi was chasing a group of wild deer, he met a once-in-a-century white fox deep in the forest.

The reason why it is once a hundred years is that this fox looks like a white fox, but the real white fox is born in the bitter and cold Arctic Circle. The fire fox that Xiao Yi met is actually a mutant fire fox. Every 100 years or so, a snow-white fire fox variant will appear in the unique recessive genes in the Fire fox tribe.

Xiao Yi knew the preciousness of the white fox and claimed to be soft gold, so he naturally refused to let it go and chased after it all the way.

The white fox is already old, probably seventeen or eighteen years old, and is an extremely old member of the fox flock. According to the survival and elimination rules of the fox flock, the white fox has been driven out of the house and fend for itself.

However, the white fox has a natural arrogance and dignity, and even if it dies, it will never let humans catch it and peel it.

Seeing Xiao Yi chasing him relentlessly, the white fox was old and weak and knew that he would die, so he ran to a cave.

The white fox roared when he arrived at the entrance of the cave, as if calling for something.

Xiao Yi chased after him, and saw that the white fox had nowhere to escape, and he was very happy. He quickly bent his bow and arrow to shoot it.

But the next moment, Xiao Yi suddenly showed a look of horror. It turned out that the cave was the territory of a giant python. The giant python was three feet long, as thick as an adult strong man, and weighed at least five hundred kilograms.

Xiao Yi was shocked and quickly retreated, and immediately let the white fox go with his bow and aimed at the giant python.

The giant python originally came out at night, but was deliberately awakened by the white fox. Of course, the white fox was not so smart that it used the giant python to deal with humans. It just didn't want to be skinned by humans, so it planned to dedicate itself to the giant python.

The giant python immediately entangled the white fox and strangled it to death.

Seeing that the giant python was about to swallow the white fox, Xiao Yi couldn't help it. How could he give up the prey he got?

Xiao Yi immediately held his breath and concentrated, and trembled his hand and shot an arrow, hitting the giant python's neck. Even though the giant python was thick in skin and flesh, it could not withstand the sharp arrow shot from the 15-stone strong bow, and blood spurted out.

Xiao Yi immediately hid behind the big tree with an arrow. He knew that snakes were relying on infrared sensing. Xiao Yi used the big tree to block the infrared effect of his body, and was one hundred and fifty steps away from the giant python. The giant python did not find Xiao Yi, but just circled around in the same place.

After all, beasts are beasts and always know how to protect their prey. This giant python is determined to swallow the white fox, but Xiao Yi doesn't give it a chance.

The giant python was too big, and one arrow could not kill it. Xiao Yi seized the opportunity and trembled his hand and shot three more arrows, all of which shot it.

Soon, the giant python lost too much blood and fell to the ground and stopped moving.

Xiao Yi waited for more than half an hour, picked up a few stones and kept throwing them over. Finally, he saw that the giant python had no reaction, so he walked over with confidence.

After confirming that the giant python was dead, Xiao Yi picked up the white fox that had been strangled to death.

The white fox was strangled to death by a giant python, but his skin was intact. Xiao Yi was immediately happy and knew that this skin would be sold at a good price.

Looking at the corpse of the giant python again, Xiao Yi couldn't help but smack his lips. He wanted to drag it out and sell it together, but it felt too heavy. So Xiao Yi took out the snake gall from the giant python, which was the size of a goose egg. It was naturally very pleasant to take it back and soak it in wine.

Xiao Yi was proud, but unexpectedly, he suddenly heard a huge sound of Ssi. When he turned around, he was shocked.

Another giant python came, but it was as big as the dead giant python. Xiao Yi couldn't help but be shocked, secretly asking that it would be a pair.

Xiao Yi dared not stay, so he ran away with the white fox in his arms.

The giant python saw that his spouse was killed, and immediately chased Xiao Yi.

Seeing that the giant python was getting closer and closer, Xiao Yi was so anxious that he was sweating coldly. He wanted to stop and fight with the giant python several times, but in the end he gave up the unrealistic stupid idea.

Suddenly, Xiao Yi thought that the snake walked on the ‘S’ curve, and as long as it ran on the opposite ‘S’ curve, it could avoid the pursuit of the giant python.

Xiao Yi immediately did as he did, and indeed the giant python could not catch up with Xiao Yi. Until Xiao Yi rushed out of the dense forest, the sun shone directly outside, and soon the giant python could not withstand the exposure to the sun and immediately gave up the pursuit.

Xiao Yi ran down the mountain all the way until Xiangyang City stopped in front of him.
