Chapter 5 Harvest
The snow was stained red with blood.

In addition to Zhao Sihu, there is also Bai Yuan.

Drops of blood dripped from Bai Yuan's arm onto the thick white snow, leaving small red dots.

The homemade bamboo bow couldn't withstand his full strength and broke into pieces, but fortunately he still managed to shoot the arrow.

All this was within Bai Yuan's expectations.

He has performed this operation more than once in the "Martial Arts in Troubled Times" mini-game. This is the hidden effect of the archery skill.

Gain greater lethality through self-destructing weapons.

The broken bamboo pieces scratched his arms, but these losses were nothing compared to the novice gift pack Zhao Sihu received.

He looked at Zhao Sihu's body.

It’s time for the much-loved corpse-touching segment again.

Bai Yuan bent down and picked up the hardwood bow. He had been coveting this bow for a long time. With the hardwood bow, his strength would surely increase dramatically, and his archery skills at the skilled level could also fully exert their power.

In addition to the hardwood bow, he certainly would not forget the dagger in Zhao Sihu's hand.

Although this dagger is made of crude iron, it is not easy for ordinary hunters to obtain it.

Bai Yuan searched Zhao Sihu's body again, but found nothing except a dozen copper coins.

"It turned out to be a poor man."

He put the copper coin into his arms and cursed softly.

I thought Zhao Sihu should have quite a bit of savings after working in the city's martial arts school for many years, but I didn't expect he was so shabby.

Bai Yuan took off the deerskin boots on Zhao Sihu's feet.

This is a wonderful treasure, I can't forget it.

What made Bai Yuan most happy was the strengthening points.

Enhancement points +5
Killing Zhao Sihu earns him a full "5" reinforcement points.

Obviously, the more powerful enemies you kill, the more power-up points you'll get.

"add a bit!"

[You practice tracking day and night, and you can detect even the smallest things. ]

[After two years of tracking, you have a better understanding of the habits of animals and you begin to try to understand their behavior.]

[You have been practicing tracking for three years, and your eyesight has become stronger and stronger. ]

Bai Yuan used 4 enhancement points on tracking, and the remaining 1 enhancement point was used to activate the new skill [Trap].

At this point, all three of the hunter's initial skills have been activated by him.

He was very satisfied with the harvest this time.

It was already dark, and he walked down the mountain in the moonlight.

Zhao Sihu's body lay quietly in the snow, and would be completely buried by the snow in less than half an hour.

Just as Zhao Sihu thought, it was very common for someone to die in the deep mountains.

"Uncle, you are finally back."

Xiao Qiaoniang was pacing anxiously in the wooden house. When she saw Bai Yuan push the door open, she finally felt relieved.

She cried out in shock when she saw her uncle's bloody arm.

It was obvious that it was not easy for Bai Yuan to climb the mountain this time.

She did not ask the reason, but quickly turned around and took out a relatively clean underwear from the cabinet beside her.

The undergarment was already thin, and with a ripping sound, it was torn into long strips.

Xiao Qiaoniang bandaged Bai Yuan's wound very carefully.

Although the wound on Bai Yuan's arm looked terrible, it was actually just a superficial injury, and the wound had already scabbed over.

But Xiao Qiaoniang's nervous look still warmed Bai Yuan's heart.

My sister-in-law is so cute.

"They are just superficial injuries, nothing serious."

Bai Yuan didn't want Xiao Qiaoniang to worry too much, so he couldn't help but explain.

Xiao Qiaoniang looked at her arm, which was covered with blood stains, with heartache.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

Xiao Qiaoniang relaxed her mind and realized that the bamboo bow behind Bai Yuan had disappeared and was replaced by a hardwood bow.

She was smart enough not to ask any more questions.

When it comes to men’s affairs, women just need to follow them closely. This has always been the truth in Baisha Town.

"I met Zhao Sihu in the mountains. He is dead."

Although Xiao Qiaoniang didn't ask, Bai Yuan still told her the truth without hiding anything.

Xiao Qiaoniang's beautiful eyes widened in shock.

Zhao Sihu was a notorious villain in Baisha Town. He had been an apprentice in the martial arts school for two years. Three strong men were no match for him. He actually died at the hands of the thin-looking Bai Yuan. My uncle has really changed.
Although Xiao Qiaoniang didn't want to ask more questions, the feeling of trust still made her feel warm in her heart.

Bai Yuan tiredly took off the wild thing from his waist.

"Sister-in-law, I'm a little hungry."

Only then did Xiao Qiaoniang wake up from her dream and stop laughing.

When she saw the wild animal that Bai Yuan handed over, she was surprised again.

Pheasants, hares, and even roe deer, this is as much as the hunter Zheng next door gets in half a month.

She took the wild animal swiftly and made a fire to cook soup for Bai Yuan.

While Xiao Qiaoniang was cooking the soup, Bai Yuan carefully washed the blood stains on his body. This matter could not be taken lightly.

If you arouse the suspicion of the officers, they will not care whether you are being wronged or not and will just give you twenty lashes of the cane first.

Bai Yuan was relieved only after he confirmed again and again that there was no bloodstain.

"Uncle, please eat quickly."

Xiao Qiaoniang brought a bowl of hot broth.

This time the luxurious dish has more meat than vegetables, making it a veritable broth.

"Sister-in-law, you eat too."

The life of a farmer is nothing more than food and clothing. Now that the two people from the Bai family have meat to eat, the cabin feels especially cozy.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Bai Yuan had never left the cabin. Only Xiao Qiaoniang went out once to find Zheng the hunter and exchanged a dozen copper coins she got from Zhao Sihu for a bag of wheat bran.

This is the first time the Bai family has become so wealthy since their parents passed away.

The morning sun shines into the cabin through the window.

Under Bai Yuan's management, although there was still no window frame, he still managed to cover the window with a piece of cloth.

Bai Yuan opened his eyes early.

The small wooden house was only two meters in radius, pitifully small, and he and Xiao Qiaoniang were separated by only a curtain.

Xiao Qiaoniang's soothing breathing was clearly audible. Under the warm yellow sunlight, Bai Yuan could clearly see through the curtain the ups and downs of Xiao Qiaoniang's figure, who was only wearing a thin undergarment. She was so beautiful.

Bai Yuan took a deep breath to clear the distracting thoughts in his mind.

I don't know whether the predecessor was out of guilt towards that dead brother or some other thoughts, but in short, the two of them were neither famous nor real.

Bai Yuan tiptoed out of bed.

The cold water made him shiver.

After washing his face, Bai Yuan planned to go to the city to stock up on more food.

Although he pushed the door very carefully, the wooden door was so old that it still made an unpleasant creaking sound.

Xiao Qiaoniang was awakened by the sound of the door opening and let out a moan.

"Uncle is going out again."

"Well, I'm going to the city."

"Uncle, be careful."

"Will do."

It was a simple conversation, but both of them knew that the other cared about them. It was an indescribable feeling.

Bai Yuan pushed the door open and walked out.

Just as he reached the entrance of the village, Zhuang Zhao came towards him.

"Brother Yuan, have you heard that Zhao Sihu went into the mountains and disappeared? The wolf problem in Mentougou is severe. You'd better not go there. If it doesn't work, I'll ask my father to lend you some food."

Zhuang Zhao gritted his teeth and said, he is very loyal.

The old man of the Zhuang family owned twenty acres of good farmland. Although he was not a landlord, he was more than enough to be a rich peasant.

My previous life took care of me from time to time after my parents passed away.

But they only helped in emergencies and not in poverty. Zhuang Zhao's father soon realized that his predecessor was a hopeless case, so he stopped providing relief and did not allow Zhuang Zhao to help.

Bai Yuan actually understood the old man's approach.

No one's food comes from the wind, so it cannot withstand being wasted.

What's more, the behavior of its predecessor was really not commendable.

"disappeared?!"

Bai Yuan looked surprised, yet also somewhat naive.

"Don't worry, I'm going to the city and I won't be going to Mentougou during this period."

Zhuang Zhao's eyes lit up.

Yuan Ge'er is still Yuan Ge'er after all. There is nothing fun in Baisha Town like in the city.

"I'll go as well."
