Shennong Sequence

Chapter 4: Burning the Corpse and Destroying the Evidence [Please Collect]

'This hunter Zhang Sheng is amazing, he can actually hunt tigers!'

"But how could this fierce man who could hunt tigers be trampled under the feet of a small flag officer without any resistance?"

'That means that flag officer Cheng Hongan is even more powerful!'

"Is it the difference in martial arts training? Or something else?"

Doubts arose one after another in Zhao Yun's mind.

Moreover, he had never heard of any hunter in the surrounding area of ​​Zhaojiazhuang who could hunt a tiger alone.
He also heard recently that several hunters with the surname Zhao jointly killed a 300-pound wild boar!
That caused a huge stir in the whole village...

Zhao Yun also joined in the fun and ran over to take a look.

Now this hunter Zhang Sheng, who killed a tiger all by himself, didn't even take the opportunity to make a name for himself...

He's also a strange outsider.

'But it also shows that this hunter is a low-key person who makes a fortune quietly!'

"It's a pity that he beat up Village Chief Zhao and Tax Collector Huang, offended them, and now he is lying outside the door, dying with his eyes open."

'You should always keep a low profile and not be too ostentatious!'

Zhao Yun stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, and did not touch the tiger skin because he had no place to store it.

Instead, he slowly stepped out of the door, walked into the courtyard, and said to the flag officer and the yellow tax collector:

"My Lords, I just found a freshly peeled tiger skin and tiger head in that room. What do you think we should do with it?"

The flag officer Cheng Hongan was also a little surprised.

"How could this hunter be so poor that he couldn't even pay the tax? He was even shoving and arguing when we first came in."

Huang, the tax collector, had just recovered from his shock and said directly with lingering fear:
"Brother Cheng, I'll give you the tiger skin and tiger head. I still owe you a big favor this time."

The flag officer Cheng Hongan glanced at the tax collector Huang with a half-smile, then glanced at the village chief Zhao who was standing at the door, and the dozen or so officers and soldiers outside the courtyard who had not entered.

There were also people who were being escorted away for not paying their taxes and were about to be taken into exile, as well as several horse-drawn carriages loaded with all kinds of discounted tax silver and other supplies.

Flag Officer Cheng Hongan looked at Village Chief Zhao:

“Village Chief Zhao, I can’t take the tiger skin for now, but please help me take it home and tan it first.

After a few days, when Zhao Yun has settled down in the garrison, when he comes back to visit his family, you can give him the gift and ask him to bring it to the garrison for me, how about that? "

"Row."

Village Chief Zhao nodded in response.

Seeing that the flag officer Cheng Hongan had arranged everything, Zhao Yun stood quietly aside, absent-mindedly playing with the bow and arrow he had just obtained.

Although he wanted to pluck two tiger whiskers, use them as toothpicks, and enjoy a high-end life.

But he didn't dare to really say this.

I can only take advantage of the time when Village Chief Zhao gives him the tanned tiger skin and he takes it to Flag Officer Cheng Hongan, and then I can take action...

Then, Zhao Yun casually weighed the arrow stone in his hand, thinking about how to shoot the arrow accurately.

And it seems that archery requires an auxiliary ring, but he didn't find it in the house just now!

And as Zhao Yun was thinking and weighing the arrow stone that could be shot with the bow, wisps of golden light suddenly floated before his eyes.

"+1"

"+1"

Zhao Yun also felt it was novel. He didn't expect that his archery skill could increase his progress by putting down some arrows and stones.

However, after the progress value increased to 20, Zhao Yun discovered again that throwing stones randomly was useless!
You must have a target, and only when you hit the target can you continue to increase the experience progress value.

And with each increase in progress, Zhao Yun could clearly feel a little insight into archery slowly forming in his mind. It seemed like a self-realization, or like the enlightenment of an immortal...

"This golden finger not only contains the idea that hard work pays off."

"I can also use the growth rate of the progress value to find out whether the direction of skill training is correct..."

Zhao Yun was feeling pleasantly surprised and was trying to comprehend various methods of drawing the bow and shooting the arrows.

Village chief Zhao walked into the house as fast as the wind.

hiss!
Village Chief Zhao also took a breath of cold air instantly.

Although a tiger still retains its might after death, can a dead tiger really scare people?

Then he rolled up the tiger skin and tiger head with quick movements.

"Zhao Yun, come and give me a hand."

At this moment, the tax collector Huang had also piled a large pile of firewood haphazardly under the eaves, and was waving his hand, beckoning Zhao Yun to come over and help.

At this moment, all that was left was to carry the hunter Zhang Sheng's body onto the firewood and burn it immediately.

"coming."

Zhao Yun responded in a muffled voice, then walked to the legs of the hunter Zhang Sheng, and looked up again to see the scene of the cracked skull and the turbulent flow of red and white matter.

A faint sigh.

Then he closed his eyes, grasped his legs tightly, and worked together with the yellow tax collector to pile them on the pile of firewood.

Looking back, Zhao Yun inadvertently glanced under the table in the room and found a ring that appeared to be made of deer antlers.

Without thinking, he picked it up and quickly put it in his arms.

Tax collector Huang glanced at Zhao Yun and Village Chief Zhao who came out of the house together.

Then a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he solemnly instructed Village Chief Zhao:
"Village Chief Zhao, let's walk a distance ahead. When those people outside are far away, you can light the fire, then take the tiger skin of Cheng Chengqi officer back and store it properly, and then catch up with us to collect taxes together."

"it is good!"

Village Chief Zhao nodded in agreement.

Tax collector Huang took Zhao Yun, Cheng Qiguan, the officers and soldiers outside the gate, and the escorted personnel to the discounted tax goods stored in the carriage at the back, and then slowly hurried on their way down.

Walking along the narrow mountain path, when Zhao Yun looked back again, he could clearly see wisps of black smoke rising from the mountain stream.

It's just that the black smoke rolls like a devil's fog...

'In the last years of the dynasty, officials protected each other, taxes were heavy, and human life was worthless like grass!

Zhao Yun looked at the cloud of black smoke, feeling deeply moved, and sighed helplessly.

Then he grabbed a handful of stones on the road and focused on improving the progress of his "Archery" skill.

In addition, according to some previous experiments, the initial progress value of archery skills is also quite easy to improve.

Zhao Yun planned to advance his archery skills to the entry level when he arrived at the garrison today.

Since you are going to be a soldier anyway, you should at least have a good skill so that your superiors won't look down on you.

Especially the first impression, it must be good!
'Hey!'

Zhao Yun aimed and shot at the trees on the roadside with great purpose.

And how fast the stones are thrown!

It is no problem at all to pick up ten stones in a minute, and it doesn't require much effort.
