The Martial Saint who slays demons starts with refining insects
Chapter 8 Bandits in the Mountains
Let’s talk about Yunqian Village. Su Yan came out of the mountains after practicing archery. He carried a one-meter-long musk deer on his back and two gray rabbits on his waist.
He strode into the village with a hardwood bow in his hand.
He was seen by villagers from a distance and greeted.
“Brother Yan is very capable. He hunted again.”
“Oh, a musk deer can also be worth one or two hundred coins, which is not worse than hunters.”
“It’s all luck.”
Hu Kou responded a few times, but did not talk much.
Except for the men in the family who drove the mountains, the remaining children or women in the mountains mostly planted one or two acres of thin fields around this village.
Of course, there were also men who did not go to the mountains for a day or two to work in the fields.
They all heard the rumors in the market, but they did not expect that Su Yan, a child without parents, could stand on his own. Needless to say, they were envious.
Seeing Su Yan walking with big strides, they couldn’t help but whispered a few words.
"This kid is handsome and capable, I think he wants to find a wife"
"Finding a wife is none of our business. When Su Dahe left, not many people offered him a hand."
"Then there is Xie Yuzhu, let him be the matchmaker..."
The random chats were gradually left in the field, and it was unknown how many families listened to it and how many families forgot about it.
In the mountains, some people in Yunqian Village were conscientious not to eat the whole family, let alone offer help, it was good enough for their own family to survive.
Su Yan came to the front of the house, about a hundred meters away, and saw Xie Yuzhu from a distance, frowning, with a complicated face, and constantly wandering.
Xie Yuzhu looked up and saw Su Yan in the distance, his face became anxious, but he turned his head and wanted to leave quickly.
"Second Uncle"
Su Yan took the initiative to call Xie Yuzhu, but this made it difficult for Xie Yuzhu to pretend not to see Su Yan.
He stopped awkwardly and turned around. The big man was embarrassed.
"Hey, it's Ah Yan. You just came back from the mountain. I just passed by."
Xie Yuzhu's words were incoherent. Su Yan frowned slightly and asked with concern: "Second uncle, is there something wrong at home?"
"No"
Xie Yuzhu immediately rejected it, but looking at Su Yan's expression, he was like a broken jar, and he uttered a word.
"I'm here to embarrass myself. Guo Peng and others saw that you have made progress in the mountain driving, and wanted to ask you to be the leader of the mountain driving. I refused to come, but after all, they also..."
He was obviously a rough man, but his face was flushed and he couldn't speak clearly.
"You get 70% as the leader. More people can carry more things from the mountain. This is what they agreed."
Finally finished speaking, Xie Yuzhu seemed not to want to stay any longer, and became more uneasy.
Instead, Su Yan laughed, and all his worries disappeared.
As long as nothing happens to Uncle Xie's family, it's fine.
He thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, I may not agree to this."
"It's okay."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Yuzhu seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden and quickly agreed. His red face faded a little, as if he had suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
If he wasn't in the mountain-hunting team and was considered a half-leader, he wouldn't have come forward no matter what.
Of course, the reason was that Su Yan joined the team a few months ago and got a share. Although everyone was unhappy, they didn't drive him away because they had a sense of incense.
"Uncle, please listen to me first."
Su Yan interrupted Xie Yuzhu and explained, "I hunt and hike in the mountains at the same time. My schedule is different from yours. It's inconvenient for you to go with me. However, I saw a few mushroom and ganoderma nests while hiking in the mountains these days, but I didn't touch them. I'd like to ask you to go and have a look."
Xie Yuzhu's eyes widened, and he immediately realized it. He shook his head repeatedly, "No, how can you give up your nests when hiking in the mountains? This..."
"If you don't go, they will grow too big in a while and be destroyed by animals."
Su Yan left the words here, but Xie Yuzhu hesitated.
"Ayan, it really doesn't affect you?"
He looked at Su Yan's expression, as if he wanted to find a hint of reluctance. If he saw it, he would definitely not agree.
"Don't worry, uncle, it won't affect anything. I still have hunting skills."
Su Yan shook the gray rabbit he hunted at his waist: "Thanks to everyone's care for the past few months, this is how it should be."
"I know, I will explain it to them clearly."
Xie Yuzhu nodded heavily, and carefully wrote down the locations Su Yan told him, and then turned and left.
Seeing Xie Yuzhu leaving, Su Yan's eyes flickered, and he sighed slightly: "A man is innocent but guilty of holding a treasure. Even this nest should not be given too much to uncle, otherwise it will cause trouble. If the strength increases a little, it can help uncle find a way to make a living."
Other mountain hunters helped Su Yan, even if there were some complaints, but they did help, and he must accept this favor.
And Xie Yuzhu, that was a real help, such a favor must be repaid.
After saying goodbye to Xie Yuzhu, Su Yan went into his own home, skinned the deer and the gray rabbit, cut them up and cleaned them, and then rested.
[First-level insect master: 5/100]
[Insect world: 1 cubic meter]
[Mountain driving: 37/200 (minor success)]
[Basic archery 104/200 (minor success)]
[Medicine identification 21/200 (minor success)]
[Yinshui centipede 63/200 (growth period)]
"After practicing archery for a few days, my strength has increased a lot, and I have roughly figured out the abilities of Yinshui centipede after entering the level. I didn't expect that this shell could withstand ordinary attacks, just like cowhide."
In addition to avoiding the limelight of Ganshan these days, Su Yan also wanted to find out his own bottom line.
After the Yinshui centipede grew up, it obviously changed a lot, as if it had entered a new realm.
It is good at using poison, but its shell is as tough as cowhide.
Combining the two, I am afraid that experienced hunters will also be fooled.
After all, such a small body, a shell that can withstand ordinary attacks, and a highly toxic one.
The three complement each other, and the power is naturally more powerful.
"If you practice martial arts, you can probably find out a thing or two."
Those who really practice martial arts must understand the changes of the Yinshui centipede, and Song Qi must know it, but he can't pass the topic on himself and expose himself.
"Counting the money from the sale of viper berries and Polygonum multiflorum a few days ago, I now have a total of 37 taels and 4 qian of silver, which is almost enough, but I still have to set aside a few taels of silver for taxes."
No mistakes in one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
Calculating his own silver, Su Yan made a plan in his mind, ready to go deeper into the mountains to save up enough money.
The next morning, before the sun rose, Su Yan picked up his backpack and rushed to Yunling Mountain in the thin mist and dew.
There were many mountain hunters going out here, but not many went in the same direction as Su Yan.
It's not that no one wanted to follow Su Yan's direction into the mountains.
But this direction is originally a place with more wild animals and poisonous insects, and even the mountain paths have not been opened.
Su Yan can go in, they may not dare to take risks. If he gets injured and can't pay the tax, he will go to jail.
Not to mention that Su Yan has a hardwood bow in his hand. If he is annoyed, it will be difficult to deal with.
However, there are exceptions to everything. For people with bad intentions, the more secluded the place is, the better it is.
"Hurry up, the little guy is carrying a backpack into the mountains. It doesn't look like he is hunting. Follow closely."
Wang San, Li Hu, Huang Tian, and Zhao Fu followed quietly and hid far behind.
Li Hu led the way, holding a hardwood bow in his hand and a sharp knife on his waist, with the tip of the knife polished to a shine.
Wang San also held a knife in his hand. Although it was not as sharp as Li Hu's, it was also a sharp knife.
Huang Tian and Zhao Fu were both in their early thirties, wearing coarse linen shorts, holding two forks in their hands, and their eyes flickered.
After waiting for several days, they finally saw Su Yan carrying a backpack. Calculating the time, it must not be hunting, so they hurried to catch up.
They walked about one or two miles in the mist, and saw Su Yan's body entering the foot of the mountain with weeds and bushes from afar.
Wang San, Li Hu and others followed him quickly, and they were wet by the dew on the grass leaves without realizing it. The coldness made them shiver.
"This kid is like a mountain rat, hiding in these places. No wonder others can't find the treasure plant, but he can.'
Li Hu cursed. The weeds were messy and some of them would even scratch the skin, making people extremely uncomfortable.
But Su Yan was very flexible on his feet, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye after entering the mountain.
If they didn't catch up quickly, they would probably lose him.
"Hurry up! That kid must be going to the treasure land. "
Li Hu urged Wang San and the others, and then quickly followed the traces left by Su Yan.
Wang San and Huang Tian complained in their hearts. Li Hu was a hunter, and his physical condition was there.
But they were all idle bastards. Walking on this mountain road was a torture, wasn't it?
After hurrying and hurrying, they walked another mile or two and arrived in the mountains.
There were not only bushes and weeds on both sides, but also tall trees, with intertwined branches and lush leaves covering the sky, and a chilly and cold atmosphere.
"Where are the traces? !"
Li Hu suddenly exclaimed, his face suddenly darkened.
"What's wrong? "
Wang San came forward and looked over, his face was also not good.
The bushes were dense and the weeds were tall and straight, without any signs of falling down, let alone cutting.
It was as if no one had walked by here.
But where was Su Yanren?
The four people in the group looked gloomy at this time, and Li Hu snorted coldly. If they lost them, the loss would be huge.
"The kid may have found that the situation was not right and hid."
Li Hu was a hunter after all, and he calmed down quickly.
Even if the mountain hunters were careful, they would not cover up their traces like this, but seemed to be hiding.
"What should we do? If he is alert and doesn't go for ten days or half a month, we can't wait."
Zhao Fu, who was holding an iron fork, had a fierce look in his eyes. He was most familiar with Li Hu and was thoughtful. He thought of the consequences of alerting the enemy.
"Zhao Fu, you and Wang San are in one team, Huang Tian, you and I are in one team, look for clues nearby, the kid must not be hiding far, catch him and interrogate him directly. "
Li Hu made a prompt decision. The four of them formed teams, held their weapons tighter, and began to look for Su Yan's traces in the surrounding weeds.
However, behind an old tree only ten meters away, Su Yan saw everything.
"I thought it was someone else, but it turned out to be Wang San."
Su Yan sneered, the Yinshui centipede at his hand hissed, and half of its body had already penetrated into the bushes.
