Chapter 232: Hunting in the mountains 1

"Uncle Liu, aren't you afraid that I have borrowed or not repaid it? If I lose money, there will be nothing left." Xia Qianqian said with a grin.
"I'm not afraid of this, you can definitely succeed with your ability. But I can only get two taels of silver..." Uncle Liu was also very embarrassed.
The farmers are real, but they don't have enough money, and I don't know how long they will save two or two dollars. Xia Qianqian can only take Liu Bo's heart, not really take his money.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu, I still have some money in my hand. I will tell you if I can't wait."
"Are you still going to hunt?" Uncle Liu asked worriedly.
"Yeah. Don't let my mother know about this, for fear of her worrying."
Uncle Liu sighed and said, "In this way, I will accompany you tomorrow. New Year's Eve is coming, and I don't have any meat at home."
"This is great, Uncle Liu, you have experience." Xia Qianqian smiled, and the corners of her eyes were wet. Where is Uncle Liu's lack of meat? It is the intention to accompany her into the mountain.
…………
The next day, Xia Qianqian woke up early and baked some cakes to take on the road to eat. Uncle Liu brought a machete and a crossbow, and the two went into the mountain together.
There is a mountain not far behind Yangliu Village, and it is now a vast color. Trees with fallen leaves stand on the white snow. Compared with the spring, autumn and summer seasons, the mountains in winter have a better sight line, making it easier to spot prey. Moreover, there are few people entering the mountains to hunt, so there is no need to worry about prey being robbed.
"Uncle Liu, hasn't your son come back as a laborer?" Xia Qianqian walked and looked for topics to chat.
"I haven't come back for two years. Alas, your aunt wants Baoshan too tightly, but there is no way. Baoshan is nineteen this year, and she will be old if she doesn't make money to marry a wife." Liu Bo said.
"Puff!" Xia Qianqian smiled, "Uncle Liu, why are you old at nineteen?"
"Get a family first, then set up a business. This is the rule of the ancestors. But the family is poor, and the girl Baoshan likes is demanding. Alas! I hope I can save enough money next year."
"How much is the gift money for the girl?"
"Five two."
Xia Qianqian's mood was extremely complicated. Fifty taels of silver makes people unable to marry a wife, and for squires and nobles, fifty taels of silver is just a meal.
"Uncle Liu, if we can hit a tiger or a wild boar today, your son's gift money will be paid."
"Tiger..." Uncle Liu trembled in fear, "Don't let us meet him."
Xia Qianqian laughed loudly: "I'm just kidding, the tigers all hibernate in winter."
Uncle Liu looked at Xia Qianqian strangely: "Tigers do not hibernate."
Xia Qianqian: "..."
Don’t animals hibernate in winter? That's why she thought of hunting in the mountains. If this is a tiger... Xia Qianqian trembled, damn, it's not always certain who hunts and who!
"It will also come out for food in winter. But don't be afraid, we have never seen a tiger in the mountains."
"Oh……"
Xia Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and moved on. Soon, the two officially entered the mountain and began to look for prey.
Where can the animals come out? A few pheasants flew past, but when Xia Qianqian reacted and prepared to shoot the crossbow, the pheasant had already flown away.
"Don't be discouraged, pheasants are worthless. Let's go to the rabbit hole and carry a nest at a time!" Liu Bo smiled.
However, there is snow everywhere, how can I find the rabbit hole?
Liu Bo pointed to the front left and whispered: "Have you seen? The rabbit has left footprints."
Xia Qianqian took a closer look, and there was indeed a small trail of footprints on the snow, which had not been covered by snow, indicating that the rabbit had been active recently. She became excited: "Rabbit!"
