Across the Market

Chapter 73

When the villagers heard that it was so easy to catch wild boars, they all turned their heads to discuss, and then pointed at the so-called animal trap with blood on the side.

At this time, Zhu Fu stood up, smiled and said to the surrounding villagers: "The New Year is coming soon, and the family has to kill a pig to have a New Year's flavor, don't you think?"

Villager A: "It's natural, but, the pigs we raise are all sold for money. Who would kill their own pigs and keep them for the New Year?" He looked at the fat pig on the ground. The wild boar swallowed hard. His house is not far from the village head's house. Yesterday he could smell the aroma of the village head's roasted wild pork. He wanted to eat it too, so he looked at Zhu Fu flatteringly and said, "Miss Fu Son, since you were able to catch wild boars because of this artifact, can you lend me the artifact? I'll return it to you after it's used up."

In fact, everyone present thought this way, and now they heard someone start, and immediately nodded in response.

Zhu Fu raised his chin proudly, put his hands on his hips and said, "It's not impossible, but there is no free lunch in the world. I can lend you the traps, but you have to agree to my request."

"What request?" Everyone asked.

Zhu Fu pointed to his cousin Zhu Gui and said, "My dear brother will take the county school exam next year, and needs the help of the folks to recommend him, so if you are willing to help recommend your brother, I will help you hunt wild boars together. I will let your brother stay for a while Write a recommendation letter, you just need to sign and draw on it, and after signing and drawing, I guarantee that you can all hunt wild boars."

"Hey, what kind of busy is this? The folks in the big hometown know that your expensive brother is a good student, so why don't you help? Besides, if our village can produce a scholar, it will also give our village people a face. Ah, don't you think so?"

Everyone echoed: "Yes, yes, Brother Gui, go and write it quickly. After we finish writing, we will sign and draw a signature, and when we are done, hurry up and hunt wild boars before it gets dark."

Zhu Gui really didn't expect his cousin to have such a trick. If he had a recommendation from a villager, he would be one step away from being able to take the county school exam.He glanced at Zhu Fu gratefully, then turned around and ran into the house.

Seeing her baby grandson coming, Mrs. Guo hurriedly asked, "It's noisy outside, what's the matter?"

Zhu Gui grabbed a pen and paper and wrote the letter of recommendation, and replied as he wrote: "Second cousin caught a wild boar with a magic tool. The villagers are very envious, and everyone wants to use the second cousin's magic tool to catch a wild boar. However, The second cousin asked me to come back and write a letter of recommendation, saying that I could only lend it to them if I signed the letter, so I came back."

"The letter of recommendation?" Mrs. Guo was excited, "Is it the letter of recommendation for the county examination in the coming year?"

Zhu Gui finished writing in three or five strokes, and then flicked on the paper, Fang said: "Exactly. I won't be afraid if I get this." He was in a very good mood this time, with a clean smile on his handsome face, "Grandma, I'll take it out first, and I'll come back later and tell you."

"Okay, okay, go quickly, my son, you go quickly." Mrs. Guo quickly waved to Zhu Gui, telling him to get down to business.

Zhu Gui came out with the letter of recommendation, and also brought ink pads and pens and inks. Some of them could write their own names, so they wrote their names with a pen.

After everyone signed and signed, Zhu Gui nodded to Zhu Fu, and then Zhu Fu handed the animal trap to the villagers, and then told them how to use it to catch the wild boar.He also said that this trap was given to them, and they were asked to go home before the sun set, and if they didn't hunt, they would go back tomorrow.

Finally finished all the things that should be done, Zhu Fu clapped his hands in satisfaction, and said to Zhu Gui: "Now that you have the recommendation from the villagers, don't worry about it. After entering the city, study hard and take the exam next year. Oh , By the way, I have one more thing to tell you, let's go into the house."
