Living is so tiring.
Fortunately, he learned how to hunt, otherwise he would have starved to death.
Sun Erwa sighed while lighting the fire.
He is an ordinary farmer in Jianchangwei.
When the Ming army originally controlled Sichuan Xingdusi, although they had to pay a lot of grain every year, they could always have some left over, and it was enough to save some food.
But since the Great Western Army entered Sichuan, everywhere there was no grass growing.
Let alone planting the land, even if the grass seeds were sown, it would not grow.
Sun Erwa was afraid of being dragged into becoming a master, so she hid in the mountains.
Originally he didn't know how to hunt, but in order to survive he started learning to hunt.
He made simple animal traps and hunting bows.
If he was lucky, he could catch some hares, but if he was unlucky, he would go hungry.
Sometimes there was no prey for two or three days in a row, and Sun Erwa's stomach growled with hunger, so she could only rely on picking wild fruits to satisfy her hunger.
But instead of being full, Sun Erwa became hungrier as she ate.
Sometimes Sun Erwa was so hungry that she rolled on the ground.
Gradually, he learned to dry the prey he caught to make jerky, so that he would not go crazy with hunger when there was a lack of food.
Sun Erwa was lucky enough to catch a fox that day.
He carefully peeled off the fox's skin, skewered the fox meat on tree branches and grilled it over the fire.
A fine fox skin is very precious and can be sold for several taels of silver.
But this only works if the fox skin is intact.
If there is a hole somewhere, it will be worthless.
This time, Sun Erwa's animal trap just clamped the fox's hind legs, and it would not affect the beauty of the entire hide.
Sun Erwa decided to finish the roasted fox meat and ventured into the city to sell the fox skin.
If the fox skin is really sold, the money obtained can buy a lot of food.
Sun Erwa couldn't remember how long it had been since she had eaten rice.
When he thought of Mi Xiang, his mouth watered.
The flames crackled, and Sun Erwa turned the skewered fox meat back and forth to make it evenly heated.
After a while, the fox meat turned golden and shiny.
Sun Erwa swallowed a mouthful of spit and bit it hard.
“Hiss, it’s so hot to the mouth.”
He touched his lower lip and found a big blood blister.
After a while, he blew hard on the fox meat for a long time before he dared to take his mouth again.
This time the temperature obviously dropped a lot.
After some testing, Sun Erwa ripped off a piece of meat.
The fox meat was a bit sour and there was no salt to season it, so it felt strange in the mouth.
But for Sun Erwa, this can already be regarded as a delicacy.
He devoured his meal, burped and lay on his back.
Looking at the blue sky and the occasional falling leaves, Sun Erwa closed her eyes with great enjoyment.
After taking a nap, he rolled up the fox skin, set several traps, and then went down the mountain along the path.
Now he is very familiar with this mountain, and only he knows some of the trails.
When Sun Erwa arrived in front of Jianchang City, the sky was already getting dark.
He hesitated for a moment before taking steps toward the city gate.
Several guards were leaning lazily on the edge of the city gate, not showing the slightest interest.
Sun Erwa buried her head and quickly followed the crowd inside.
He had already made up his mind to return from this trip as soon as possible.
He sold the fox skin and bought some food before leaving.

He would never stay in the city longer.
As soon as he entered the city, he went to the east city.
Lao Zhang, who collects fur goods, is an old acquaintance of him.
He bids fairly and never lowers the price.
The first thing Sun Erwa thinks of when she has a good leather child is Lao Zhang.
After crossing the cross street and turning northeast, we came to Lao Zhang's leather goods shop.
You can smell the smell of tanner from a distance.
Sun Erwa tightened the package and entered the shop without hesitation.
"Lao Zhang, I have brought you good goods again."
Sun Erwa shouted at the top of her voice as she walked inside.
Not long after, a thin, slightly hunched middle-aged man walked out.
When he saw it was Sun Erwa, his eyes lit up and he said, "Take out some good stuff and have a look."
Sun Erwa chuckled, unwrapped the package, took out the fox skin and spread it on the cabinet.
She said very proudly: "This is the best fire fox skin.
There is not even a hole in the whole skin.
Except you, Lao Zhang, who else am I?"
Not for sale either.”
The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the fox skin.
He is in the leather business and has never seen any good goods.
But he also had to admit that this fox skin was definitely of the highest quality.
"Tell me, how much do you want to sell it for?"
"Twenty Liang" Sun Erwa said without hesitation. hiss
Shopkeeper Zhang took a deep breath when he heard this, and the smile on his face stopped abruptly.
Twenty taels, this is too much, right?
Although he admitted that the leather was very good, it would never be sold for twenty taels.
"Ten taels, I will give you ten taels at most.
If you think it is less, go to another place and try."
Firefox skin is very rare, but it is definitely not worth twenty taels.
Sun Erwa was asking for a lot of money, so shopkeeper Zhang naturally had to pay back the money on the spot.
"Okay, ten taels is just ten taels.
Who told me to be familiar with you, Lao Zhang?"
Sun Erwa narrowed her eyes slightly and agreed without hesitation.
Only then did shopkeeper Zhang realize that he had been fooled.
From the beginning, Sun Erwa never wanted to sell it for twenty taels.
The reason why he proposed this price was to let shopkeeper Zhang cut it.
At the beginning, the price was raised very high.
Shopkeeper Zhang could still sell it for ten taels even if he cut it off.
But shopkeeper Zhang is not prepared to care about this.
First of all, he and Sun Erwa have a good relationship.
They will definitely cooperate in the future, so there is no need to make the relationship tense.
Secondly, even if he paid ten taels of silver for this Fire Fox skin, he would still be able to make a fortune.
"Do you want broken silver or whole ingots of silver?"
Shopkeeper Zhang raised his eyebrows.
"Broken silver, convenient to use" Sun Erwa said without hesitation.
"Okay, wait here."

Shopkeeper Zhang turned around and went into the inner room, and after a while he took out a package.
"All the broken silver is in it."
Sun Erwa unwrapped the package and her eyes widened for a moment.
Although the fineness of this silver is not very high, it is definitely real silver.
Sun Erwa had never seen so much silver before, and she wanted to bite each one with her teeth to confirm the authenticity.
Hunting is all about luck.
Of course Sun Erwa would not think that her luck would always be so good.
Then, he had to carefully plan how to spend the ten taels of silver this time.
Of course you have to spend part of the money to buy grain, and you also have to buy some salt, and the rest is saved.
After thinking about it, Sun Erwa tied the package again and smiled at shopkeeper Zhang: "It's done, I won't disturb your business, Lao Zhang.
I will come to you next time when I have good goods."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Cui Ji Mihang is only one street away from Lao Zhang's leather shop, so it's easy to get there.
But when he turned the corner, he froze completely because a group of soldiers from the Great Western Army were walking towards him
