Chapter 22 Rare and exotic beasts worth thousands of gold
"Blue eyes and white tiger?" Fan Ming also looked a little surprised.
The blue-eyed white tiger is no ordinary tiger, it is so rare that it can be called a rare animal.
It is said that a hundred years ago, a top master of internal martial arts accidentally discovered that after slaughtering a blue-eyed white tiger, its bone marrow had the magical effect of increasing qi and blood and refining internal strength.
Since then, the blue-eyed white tiger has been targeted by martial arts practitioners throughout the Daqing Dynasty.
Less than ten years later, it can be said that the blue-eyed white tigers in the entire Daqing Dynasty were completely destroyed!
The blue-eyed white tiger that could often be seen in the deep mountains and old forests has almost completely disappeared.
Fan Ming once heard his father say that the last time there was news of a blue-eyed white tiger on Beishan Mountain was before Fan Ming was born, when his father was still very young.
Now, after 20 or 30 years, there is actually another sighting of the blue-eyed white tiger?
Fan Ming's first reaction was that the three brothers were deceiving him, because the value of the blue-eyed white tiger can be said to be astronomical. The most precious bone marrow in its body can be sold for one hundred taels per kilogram, and it is priceless in the market!<
/p>
If he could get a pound of Blue Eyes and White Tiger's bone marrow, then at least he and Fan Li wouldn't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives.
And the cubs of the blue-eyed white tiger are even more delicious. It is said that the current emperor of the Daqing Dynasty likes exotic animals the most. If you can offer a cub of a blue-eyed white tiger, the emperor will probably give you an official position if he is happy!
For this country man in a remote mountainous area, the temptation of becoming an official is much higher than real money.
How could these three brothers tell others about such a good thing without any reason?
Not sure if he could see Fan Ming's doubts, Sun Dalang explained: "We don't want to tell outsiders about this, but that beast is really powerful and cannot be compared to ordinary insects."
"Yesterday, the three of us brothers also went up the mountain to test it, but in the end we tried all kinds of methods and failed to hurt the beast. We were even chased by it for several miles. If it hadn't been for the fact that the beast didn't care about the young tiger and didn't want to run too far.
It’s so far away that we almost couldn’t come back.”
Fan Ming understood what they meant. They wanted to find someone to cooperate with in hunting tigers.
But he will not be fooled by these few words.
"Then why are you looking for me? It's not like you don't know my level. It's enough that I don't go back to the village empty-handed." Fan Ming spread his hands and said.
Sun Dalang still kept his smile, "But I heard that Brother Ming, you have improved a lot in your archery skills recently, which may have some miraculous effects! Of course, we will also find other people later, and you just happen to be the first one."
”
When encountering a prey that is difficult to capture, it is not uncommon in this world to form a team of hunters with people from the same village to hunt together.
After hearing this, Fan Ming lowered his head. On the surface, he was thinking about whether to go, but in fact, he was observing the footprints on the ground.
He has not forgotten what happened the night before yesterday. Although he has guessed that the thief is Sun Saburo, the evidence of Shi Chui has not been found yet.
I just took this opportunity to compare the footprints on the ground with the footprints I saw on the wall that night.
From this look, it turns out to be a perfect match!
Most people in the village wear straw sandals and cloth shoes. The soles are usually woven with straw ropes, and the texture of the soles will not be much different.
But the three Sun brothers wore leather shoes, with thick soles made of cowhide, and patterns engraved on the bottoms. The patterns on the soles of the three brothers were not the same, but this pattern directly made Fan Ming 99%... Oh no,
I am 100% certain that the thief is Son Saburo.
However, Fan Ming did not expose it immediately, but declined Sun Dalang's invitation first.
"Thank you very much, Brother Sun, for looking after me, but I am really inconvenienced today?"
"Not very convenient? That's a blue-eyed white tiger worth thousands of taels of silver? If you're worried about uneven distribution of the spoils, you can rest assured that our three brothers only got one blue-eyed white tiger cub, and the remaining three cubs
And that big tiger is shared equally by everyone!"
There is nothing wrong with this distribution method. After all, it was the prey discovered by the three brothers, so they should have an extra share.
Even if the rest is divided into more than a dozen parts, it’s still not a small sum!
It’s just that Fan Ming is also very helpless. Today, he faced “everything is not appropriate” and “don’t do anything else”, so he went out hunting to die!
And although in the adult world, as long as the interests are aligned, it is not impossible for the enemy who killed his father to cooperate, but Fan Ming just doesn't want such an adult.
The most important thing is that Fan Ming seriously suspects that these three brothers have impure intentions.
Whoever likes this opportunity to get rich overnight can take it!
So he refused again: "That's not the case..."
Halfway through, Fan Ming suddenly thought of something and continued: "The main reason is that I read the book and everything is not suitable today. I am afraid that something unexpected will happen when I go up the mountain."
The general book of this world can be simply understood as a low-end version of the almanac. It also mentions taboos and is mainly used to guide people's production, life and sacrificial activities.
As soon as these words came out, the three brothers were dumbfounded.
What kind of reason is this?
Except for the older people in the village, almost no one among the young people would believe the things in the book.
They didn't expect that Fan Ming would believe this at such a young age.
Seeing their reactions, Fan Ming added, "It's better to believe it or not. I wish you good luck in hunting the tiger!"
After saying that, Fan Ming closed the door with a snap.
Outside the door, the three Sun brothers looked at each other in shock.
Sun Sanlang was so angry that he almost stamped his feet, "Brother, second brother, this kid is obviously playing tricks on us?"
Sun Dalang shook his head, "Let's leave here first."
The three of them walked in the direction of another hunting house.
On the way, Sun Dalang saw that there was no one among the four of them, so he said: "Third brother, you'd better put the matter of revenge aside for now. When I get the cub of the blue-eyed white tiger, I will probably be able to get an official position.
By then we won’t have the final say in this village.”
"But brother, there are four cubs of the blue-eyed white tiger. Although we can monopolize one, the people we invited will also have a share of the remaining three. If all four cubs are sent to the capital by then,
If the emperor thinks that the quantity is too large and is worthless, what should he do if he doesn't grant us official titles?" Sun Sanlang expressed his doubts. Children know that rare things are valuable.
"Stupid, why don't you just find a chance to kill three of them!" Before Sun Dalang could answer, Sun Sanlang on the side had already stated his plan.
Sun Sanlang suddenly realized, "Yes, the second brother is still smart!"
