Chapter 116 Self-reliance
In a place with a wide view
Jiang Bai took off the hoe hanging on Jiang Nannan's back.

Looking at Jiang Nannan who is sweating profusely
Jiang Bai carefully wiped Jiang Nannan's sweat with the corner of his relatively clean clothes.

Jiang Bai said distressedly
"Nan Nan, thank you for your hard work. Now leave it to your brother!"

Jiang Nannan said with a smile
“Not tired at all”

For a child under six years old, even if the things inside are not heavy, traveling long distances is not easy.

Jiang Bai smiled and said
"Nannan, just don't be tired. It just so happens that my brother has a task for you."

In fact, Jiang Bai also wants to share some of Jiang Nannan's burden, but this is an extremely dangerous forest.

Even if there were no spirit beasts here, it would be difficult for the two of them to protect themselves if a carnivorous beast appeared.

Therefore, Jiangbei always holds the bow and arrow and is vigilant, so that Jiangbei cannot carry a heavy load. Carrying a heavy load will affect Jiang Bai's performance and cost the lives of two people.

This is also a clear division of labor between the two of them. If they were alone, they would have to endure more hardships, and maybe a little wild boar would appear and be taken away.

After observing around and seeing no wild beasts, Jiang Bai handed the bow and arrow to Jiang Nannan with confidence and said
"It's up to you to protect my brother from now on."

Jiang Nannan solemnly took the bow and arrow and kitchen knife and said firmly
"Do not worry!"

"I will definitely protect my brother."

Jiang Bai smiled and said
"it is good"

"Brother's life and safety will be left to you, Nan Nan."

Seeing Jiang Nannan's extremely serious expression, Jiang Bai was still very moved, and he couldn't help but laugh.

He picked up the hoe and started digging the hole. Although Jiang Bai was not old, children in Douluo Continent matured early, and Jiang Bai already had considerable stature and strength.

But after all, he is still a child, and this tool is rarely used. The soil below is not strong, otherwise it will be more laborious.

For the sake of Wuhun and life, Jiang Bai had to tighten his hoe and grind out two blisters on his hand.

A large pit two meters wide and two meters deep still appeared. This was Jiang Bai's final result from morning to night.

If it were my previous life and I needed to dig such a big hole, I would have blisters on my hands.

If he felt the pain, he would definitely call for help. If he had a younger sister, he would probably just leave it to her.

But now I am still in the body of a child, but with the mind of an adult. Looking at my petite sister, no matter how hard-hearted Jiang Bai is, I can't let Jiang Nannan do it.

After all, he had already felt the burning sensation in his hands. If he hadn't wrapped some cloth around him, Jiang Bai himself would have screamed out in pain.

So it’s better to bear this kind of hardship by yourself!Anyway, I had eaten it in my previous life, so eating it once is nothing.

But what if Jiang Nannan's cute little hands are injured?

Looking at the darkening sky, Jiang Bai inserted the bamboos with sharpened heads into the soil and arranged them into pits to offer sacrifices.

With Jiang Nannan's help, Jiang Bai climbed out of the pothole with great effort.

Mainly because of the injury on his hand, coupled with the exhaustion of the day and the lack of physical strength. If Jiang Nannan didn't help her, she probably wouldn't be able to get up for a while.

Support the hole with branches and cover with leaves and a thin layer of soil.

The selection of branches is still very important. They should not be too thick to affect the effect of the trap. After all, if they are too thick, the prey will be able to walk on flat ground.

It won't work if it's too thin. If it's too thin, it will collapse if no one steps on it. How can you hunt like this?

Spread the grains prepared in advance, pick a few juicy carrots and place them in the center.

There are a lot of soft-bone rabbits in this forest, and this trap won't collapse with one or two rabbits, but it will collapse if there are more.

This ensures that larger beasts can take the bait, and large beasts will be worth a lot of money in terms of meat and fur.

And even if there are no large beasts, a group of small ones will do. After all, if the quality cannot be guaranteed, then the quantity will be increased.The two of them didn't stay any longer. They scattered some of the remaining food around and left some for the road. They would need it when they went back.

The two of them walked back smoothly and could take a look at the trap they had set up in the morning.

Along the way, the two caught five rabbits and a pheasant, and put the remaining food in the empty traps.

There were not many large beasts outside. Jiang Bai gave Jiang Nannan his bow and arrows and carried the prey on his back with a kitchen knife.

The two of them smeared some dirt on their faces and bodies, then went to the town and sold all the rabbits.

Although the town is not very chaotic on the surface, Jiang Bai understood the people in this environment in his previous life.

Many movies and TV dramas tell us that in a world where strength is respected, burning, killing and looting is the norm. After all, the law cannot control the nobles and the strong.

Anyway, you should not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. It is still necessary to make some preparations. After all, if it is too beautiful, it can easily be taken away and sold.

Isn’t that how people from brothels and auction houses come to be?

After all, Jiang Nannan is so cute, even if she wears patchwork clothes, Jiang Nannan looks beautiful in them.

So whenever he takes Jiang Nannan out, Jiang Bai will make Jiang Nannan look bad.

Moreover, the appearance of the two people holding arrows and knives will also hide some childishness, so that the merchants will not take too much advantage.

You must know that businessmen are driven by profit, so they will not be merciful when they see sheep ready for slaughter.

So Jiang Nannan was holding a bow behind her as if she was going to shoot an arrow. Jiang Bai was holding a blood-stained kitchen knife and throwing the prey to the vendor with an indifferent expression.

The vendor was a greasy-looking uncle.

The uncle looked at the five rabbits and said
"The big one is forty copper soul coins, and the remaining thirty"

Jiang Bai took the copper soul coin without saying anything and left.

This vendor charges the most reasonable prices in town. Although he doesn’t charge high prices and is not considered a good person, the advantage is that his prices don’t change depending on the person.

Jiang Bai remembered a fat vendor in the west.

That guy is the best at looking at what others are doing and exploiting the poor like crazy.

If it is a strong hunter, or a serious soul master who shows off his soul ring.

His price will be more normal, and it will be much higher than that of the sloppy uncle.

But if a kid like Jiang Bai goes there, the vendor will charge half the price or even less than half.

And if you go to him, he will show you a white soul ring if you don't sell it.

There is no way to deal with the profiteer Jiang Bai, so he can only stay away as much as possible. Even if the sloppy uncle's price is low, Jiang Bai still chooses the sloppy uncle.

Moreover, the sloppy uncle bought soul beasts, which proved that the sloppy uncle had soul power and was at least a first-level soul master, otherwise he would not be able to hold on to his rich fortune.

It is said that hemp ropes are cut at the thinnest points, and trouble always comes to the poor, so these unscrupulous merchants are so shameless.

If you don't really need money, after all, those soul masters don't run charity halls, so money is still a necessity.

Originally hunting was just for a meal, but now it is for more money.

Jiang Nannan and Jiang Bai, who were less than six years old, had to give it a try.

If you don't give it a try, you won't be able to awaken your martial soul when the time comes, and you will miss the best time to practice in the future, then even if you want to turn around.

But the other side is already mushy and stuck to the bottom of the pot. How do you turn it over?
