Chapter 315 What do you want? What are you afraid of?
After dinner, Xu Ning started to clean the crabs, and it was already midnight when he finished.
While frying crabs, Xu Ning occasionally glanced out the window and saw a sea of green eyes.
Wow, the whole wolf pack, young and old, is here, right?
Xu Ning was so frightened that he didn't dare to look outside, fearing that he might have trypophobia.
Finally, Xu Ning fell asleep wrapped in a blanket and with earplugs in his ears. It was probably because the smell outside was too good. Xu Ning fried crabs all night, and the wolves were so greedy that they howled until dawn.
Xu Ning woke up again, and it was already noon.
I specially made a partition yesterday, and her bed finally doesn’t smell like cooking fumes anymore, and she slept very contentedly.
Xu Ning ate a lot of fried crabs last night and felt a little irritated. When he washed his face, he found that there was a lot of eye boogers.
Therefore, at noon, Xu Ning cooked some purslane soup with rice and ate it only after he was full.
The mud near the RV was trampled to the point of being unsightly. Xu Ning's rubber shoes were too heavy to lift after just two steps, and he had to scrape the mud off the soles before he could continue walking.
After dinner, Xu Ning opened the window of the RV to let in the air and then closed it, otherwise there would be too many mosquitoes. He didn't notice it last night because he didn't turn off the lights, but he started to hear the buzzing sound as soon as he turned off the lights. Xu Ning just curled up his head in the quilt and slept all night.
The solar panels on the roof of the RV were fully charged. Xu Ning folded up the RV with a wave of his hand and continued walking towards the stream.
"I remember seeing some wild mint yesterday. Where was it?"
Xu Ning searched around and finally found it behind a rock.
Xu Ning took out a shovel, dug it up with the roots and soil, put it into a flowerpot, and finally put it into the space.
"Hey, it seems like I can plant a few other things like this." Xu Ning's thoughts diverged immediately, and he filled a few more pots with soil and planted purslane and water celery in them.
After finishing all these tasks, Xu Ning washed his rubber shoes, changed into cloth shoes and continued on his journey.
Xu Ning took out a compass from time to time to check the direction to make sure he was not going the wrong way. After walking for seven or eight days, he finally walked out of the mountains.
Xu Ning also became completely tanned because he traveled all day long.
"Hey! That kid! Stop! It's two cents to enter the city!" An officer soldier stretched out his hand to stop Xu Ning, and Xu Ning pointed at himself.
"Brother, are you talking about me?"
"If it's not you, then who else could it be? Pay up quickly. You are not allowed to enter the city without it." Xu Ning grinned, looked around, and found that one really had to pay to enter the city, so he quickly took out two cents from his pocket and gave it to the soldier.
"What are you doing in the city?" The soldier tossed two coins and looked at Xu Ning.
"You look pretty, but too dark. What do you do? You won't be allowed into the city if you steal." Many nobles have come to the city recently, and the county magistrate has specifically ordered them not to let anyone in casually.
"Sir, I'm just a farmer. I usually go up the mountain with my father to catch rabbits and birds. I don't know anything else." Xu Ning said, and took out two cents and gave it to the soldier.
"I went into the city today. My aunt, who serves in the noble mansion, asked me to go and see a girl. The girl is a maid in the noble mansion. She can't come out. Besides, you can't let others come over for the visit, right?" Xu Ning showed a hint of shyness on his face at the right time, playing the role of a shy young man to the fullest.
"Okay, go in, take a good look at your wife, and be careful when you walk. Your aunt should have told you that many noble people have come to the city recently!"
"I said it, I said it! Thank you, big brother!"
Xu Ning ran while waving her hands. After entering the city, she immediately hid in an empty alley and started putting on makeup.
Grass mud horse
Who knows that a group of noble people came to the city.
Xu Ning wanted to leave the city very much, but when she thought about the long detour she would have to take, she decided to give up. It would be more comfortable to take a boat, as the soldiers thought she was a man anyway.
What is there to be afraid of? We don’t have anything we want, so why are we not grown-up men anymore?
Gan!
After putting on makeup, Xu Ning looks no different from a man except for his inconspicuous Adam's apple and invisible crotch!
Xu Ning found a stall, sat down and ate a bowl of noodle soup. He asked the owner about the butcher's address, and packed up five or six bowls of noodle soup to leave.
According to the address, Xu Ning came to the house of the most famous butcher Zhang and knocked on the door with empty hands.
"Who is it?" The middle-aged man with a beard opened the door and saw Xu Ning, who looked like a matchstick. He said impatiently, "Boy, are you in the wrong place?"
"Aren't you Zhang the Butcher?"
"I am?"
"That's right!" Xu Ning slowly pushed Butcher Zhang away and walked inside. Butcher Zhang was about to get angry when he suddenly realized that this guy could actually push him away.
"What's up, little kid? What do you want from me?" Butcher Zhang closed the door. He came to take a day off today, but he didn't expect that a strange-looking young man would come to his door.
"Butcher Zhang, how long does it take you to teach people how to kill livestock?"
"A smart person can learn it in one day, and that's me."
"Then teach me. I'm very smart!" Xu Ning stuffed ten taels of silver into his hand and asked, "Is it enough?"
Butcher Zhang squeezed the silver in his hand and wondered, "Why do you need to learn these things with this money? Why don't you just hire someone?"
Ten taels of silver were enough for him to slaughter pigs for half a year.
“It is better to have what others have than to have it yourself. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.”
"You're so flowery! I think you're just looking for trouble without any crime at all." Butcher Zhang muttered. He said this, then immediately started taking out his weapons after collecting the silver.
"Let me make it clear first, you have to pay for the slaughter of the animals yourself." Butcher Zhang took out the knife and placed it on the table in the yard.
"No problem. I have everything ready except the pig. I can move it over later. I'll teach you today."
"That's fine. I can find you a pig. Come back to my house in three quarters of an hour. Is that okay?"
"Okay!" Xu Ning liked Butcher Zhang's straightforwardness very much. He left Butcher Zhang's house on the pretext of going back to move some things. Butcher Zhang closed the door and went to his neighbor's house.
When Xu Ning returned to Butcher Zhang's house carrying a basket of prey, he heard a pig squealing before he even entered the door.
“You think that boy wouldn’t lie? Did he really learn how to kill pigs from you?” Butcher Zhang’s neighbor, Old Wang, looked skeptical.
"It can't be fake. This silver can't be fake."
"Hey, it's real money. He can't be stupid and have too much money to spend, so why would he learn to kill pigs?"
"Why do you care about what others do? It has nothing to do with us anyway."
"Well, if he does something else after he finishes his studies, what should we say..."
"What are you talking about! ..."
"Butcher Zhang! I'm back!" Xu Ning knocked on the door and interrupted the conversation inside. Butcher Zhang glared at his neighbor and quickly opened the door for Xu Ning.
"So many! Boy, did you beat all of these?!"
When neighbor Old Wang saw the big backpack Xu Ning was carrying, he was dumbfounded.
Butcher Zhang pushed away his neighbor Lao Wang who was surrounding him and helped Xu Ning pour out the prey from the backpack.
There are more than a dozen kinds of game, including everything except tiger!
There's even a wolf!
"You're really good, kid. You can even beat a wolf!" Butcher Zhang checked the wolf's wound and found that it was fatally injured by a blow, as if it was caused by a knife.
Seeing that Xu Ning was really capable, neighbor Lao Wang didn't dare to say anything. He accepted the money from Xu Ning for buying the pig and took the initiative to stay and help catch the pig.
"Don't worry about the pigs, we'll deal with them later. Lao Wang, go back and get a big bucket to hold the pig blood!"
"Hey, hey, hey, I'll go right away!" Old Wang ran back home quickly, while Butcher Zhang sorted out the prey that Xu Ning brought.
"Look, boy! This knife has a special curved hook, which is perfect for cutting meat." As he said this, Butcher Zhang slashed at the wolf's head and peeled off the wolf skin in no time.
"You can't sell this wolf skin because it has holes in it. But you can keep it to make a shawl. I'll teach you how to make it later. Now I'll teach you how to make it the fastest..."
