Chapter 52: Spring Hunt Begins
Chapter 52: Spring Hunt Begins
When Fu Shaoping returned home from the Hundred Households Office.
It was lunch time and the mutton at home was cooked to perfection.
The family finished their meal happily.
Qiu Yaer suddenly stepped forward and knelt down in front of Fu Shaoping:
"Sir, if I go back to the Qiu family, I will definitely have no way to survive. Please be a good person and take me in. I am willing to sell myself as a slave. From now on, I will loyally serve your family for the rest of my life. Please have mercy on me, sir!"
talking.
Qiu Yaer started to kowtow loudly.
Zhou Paner immediately stepped forward and pulled the person up. She was obviously tempted. After all, their family was originally short of manpower, and Qiu Yaer, who knew everyone about him, was a good choice.
Seeing this, Fu Shaoping nodded slightly:
"Okay, come with me before the dental clinic closes."
this era.
There are still many people who can't even afford to eat and have to sell their own food.
The people in the dental industry are all veterans.
It was the Zhenwu Guards who stepped forward again, and all the formalities were completed in less than a cup of tea.
Mrs. Zhang from the dental shop had a yard of servants that she wanted to sell. Seeing that Qiu Yaer was as thin as tofu, Fu Shaoping didn't mind and immediately started to sell her to her. However, Fu Shaoping waved his hand and didn't take any more.
Mother Zhang had no choice but to give up.
But I still habitually reminded Qiu Yaer:
"Look at me, there are many people who sell themselves in the yard, or I was sold by my family, but I still haven't found an owner. You can get a job in the Zhenwuwei master's house. That's a blessing from your previous life. You can also be considered as someone who left my family. In the future, remember who saved you from the dire straits. As a slave, you must always be grateful. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Mom."
Qiu Yaer bowed awkwardly.
Although the pain of losing his mother on his face has not diminished, his heart feels warm at this moment.
He glanced at the tall Fu Shaoping in front of him.
At least she will have someone to rely on in the future.
After returning from the dental clinic, Fu Shaoping pulled out the carriage and said to Qiu Yaer:
"Come on, follow me out!"
"Yes"
Qiu Yaer hurried to follow.
When the carriage stopped at the mass grave, Qiu Yaer finally understood what was going on and immediately kowtowed to Fu Shaoping again, meaning it sincerely.
The night passed.
Cai's body was finally found in a mass grave, torn to pieces by wild beasts.
But at least the body was found.
At this moment, Qiu Yaer could no longer suppress her grievance, fear and grief, and burst into tears. From then on, she was the only one left in the world, with no one to protect her with her life like her mother did.
After pulling the body back to the town.
Bought a coffin.
A ritual was performed before New Year's Eve and the body was buried.
With the addition of Qiu Yaer to the family, the originally busy New Year's Eve dinner suddenly became easier. Although Qiu Yaer looks thin, she is very efficient at her work. She doesn't need to be told, as she is always busy. When they get up every day, she has already prepared breakfast.
Zhou Pan'er never ordered servants around.
Seeing how thin she is, just tell her to work slowly.
Qiu Yaer said with a happy face:
"When I was at the old Qiu family house, I went up the mountain to chop wood and plow the fields during the day. At night, I had to chop wood, feed pigs, wash clothes, and cook for a family of more than 20 people. Now this little work is nothing at all."
Moreover, she could eat meat every meal and eat to her heart's content.
This was a treatment she had never received since she was a child.
After arriving at the Fu family.
A Spring Festival has passed.
Because she had enough nutrition, Qiu Yaer grew two heads taller, started to gain weight, and gradually reached the height and weight that she should have at her age.
After the Spring Festival, the Hundred Households Office became busy again.
First day at work.
Fu Shaoping would receive a red envelope from everyone he met. Those who were already married in the institute would give red envelopes to those who were not yet married. Fu Shaoping received so many red envelopes that he was overwhelmed.
The third day of work.
All the captains were gathered in the mission hall.
A full hour passed.
Old Zhan returned to the back room from the mission hall with great joy:
"Shao Ping, the captain just came out in person to announce the rewards for this year's spring hunt. He said that as long as you are in the top three and your cultivation reaches the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm, you can be promoted to captain. If you don't have enough merit points, you can add them later. Shao Ping, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Fu Shaoping had heard about it a long time ago.
But I still responded with a few words.
After Old Zhan was excited.
But a little ashamed:
"Shaoping, I am the one who is holding you back after all!"
"Soon after the announcement was made, a group of captains gathered together. From what they said, they were planning to have their own guards compete in a martial arts competition to select the first place winner, and then have the rest of the guards assist the winner in the hunt."
There are hundreds of guards in the entire hundred households.
Want to be in the top three.
It is undoubtedly harder than climbing to the sky!
Most importantly, members of the Hunting Palace's reserve hunting team will also participate.
If they don't stick together, how can they compete with the reserve members from the Hunting Hall? Even so, they have little hope of making it into the top three.
Old Zhan said in annoyance:
"You are the only Zhenwu Guard under my name!"
How can we compete with those who form a group?
Fu Shaoping had thought about various possibilities during this period, but he was slightly curious about how to tell who had done the killing in a team match.
Old Zhan said:
"When you arrive, the Hundred Households will issue you a soul-sucking disc. After being activated, this soul-sucking disc can absorb the spirits of monsters, that is, the souls of monsters. When the time comes, you can count them and know how many monsters you have killed in total."
It turned out to be the case.
Fu Shaoping nodded slightly.
Old Zhan walked back and forth in the room several times, and felt that staying here was not a solution after all:
"Shaoping, tell me, what is your current level of cultivation? What stage have you reached in practicing the Heavenly Stone Archery?"
"The sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm, the Heavenly Stone Archery Technique has reached the minor success stage."
"What? You have already broken through to the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm?!"
Old Zhan thought that Fu Shaoping would at most be at the fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm.
The other party has cultivated for less than a year and has achieved such a high level of cultivation. It is enough to show that he has a good talent for cultivation. Moreover, he has even cultivated the difficult-to-enter Heavenly Stone Archery to a small degree of success. It is not impossible for him to enter the top three in this Spring Hunting Competition:
"Shaoping, please stay here for a while. I'm going to go out for a while!"
Participating in the spring hunt this time.
Except for the reserve members of the Hunting Hall, all the others are at the sixth level of Body Tempering Realm or above.
Many of the highest-level cultivators under the command of the captains have not yet broken through to the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm. If sufficient benefits are offered, and Fu Shaoping himself has such excellent conditions, I'm sure that if he extends an olive branch, those captains will seriously consider it.
Since their team has no hope of making it into the top three.
It would be better to take drastic measures and choose someone with potential to assist.
and.
Once the other party is promoted to captain.
That would be a huge favor!
Fu Shaoping has another identity, that is, an alchemist. Old Zhan has enough confidence in Fu Shaoping.
