Chapter 492 Tiger Hunt
"Brother, good morning."

"Good morning, Annie."

When Wu Ming walked out of the room, Annie was already up and was preparing breakfast with her mother.

Toast, fried eggs, thinly sliced ​​sausage, and warmed milk.

Wu Ming picked up a piece of toast, lowered his head and kissed Annie's face, then sat down and asked, "Aunt Angelina, how much money do we have now?"

"When I came out, the butler gave me a bag of gold coins, which added up to thirty. Do you want some money, Master?" Angelina put down the milk jug in her hand, and tied a napkin for Anne while talking.

Wu Ming didn't answer, but simply made up his mind.

Although more than 30 gold coins are not a lot, they are definitely not a lot in the countryside.

One gold coin is equivalent to one hundred silver coins and ten thousand copper coins.

Putting it on the earth, it looks like 1 yuan, and it is still 90 yuan in the 1s, and the purchasing power it has is not low.

The current apple orchard seems to be able to sell fruit in four or five months. It should not be a problem to withdraw ten gold coins, and the remaining money is enough to cover expenses.

"Give me ten gold coins first, I'm going out to buy something."

"Okay sir."

Aunt Angelina went upstairs, and after a while, she came down with ten gold coins.

Putting the money on the table, Aunt Angelina hesitated to speak, looking at Wu Ming as if she wanted to say something.

Without asking, Wu Ming knows that these ten gold coins are one-third of his property, and they are also the guarantee of everyone's life. If he takes the money away and doesn't say what it will be used for, he may be even more troubled than Angelina in replacing it with himself.

"Don't worry, I know in my heart, I won't spend it randomly." Wu Ming smiled reassuringly, and walked out with bread and gold coins.

Seeing that Wu Ming was about to leave, Aunt Angelina felt embarrassed, and quickly argued: "Master, these are all your money, I just keep them for you, I"

"It's okay Auntie, we are a family now, just take care of Annie." Wu Ming waved his hand, opened the door and left.

After he walked out of the small building, he didn't call Old John, but walked towards the town alone.

This is the town of Bahrain, with a population of about four to five thousand. To the south is the Black Forest, and every household is a hunter.

In the market, there are many people selling animal furs, and some people are selling young beasts, even young foxes can be seen.

Wu Ming walked around the market, although he didn't see any medicine merchant selling bear gall and tiger gall, but he found a grocery merchant.

"Little brother, I have everything here, what do you need?"

"Bear gall, tiger gall, leopard gall, snake gall, do you have these four?"

Picking up an unknown stone, Wu Ming asked while playing with it.

The grocer hesitated for a moment, seeing that he didn't mean to be joking, he said, "Currently, I only have snake gall and bear gall, and if you need the other two, I can take care of them for you. There are very few tigers and leopards, and hunters don’t like to hunt them, so you may have to wait for a few days.”

"How much?" Wu Ming was shy and cared about the price.

The grocer thought about it in his mind, snake gall was worthless, bear gall was more expensive because of its medical value, and said: "Snake gall is twenty copper coins, bear gall is fifty silver coins, and a whole bear is three gold coins. Tiger gall is the same as I don’t have any leopard gall here, so I have to ask for the price elsewhere.”

"So expensive?" Wu Ming himself only had ten gold coins, and he could only buy twenty for bear bile alone, let alone a whole bear.

In his mind, ten gold coins cannot be spent at once, and some should be left behind anyway.

After all, the money in the family is not rich, and he is an ordinary person with no strength now, so if he can save some money, he still has to save it.

"Brother, bears are giants in the forest. Only the top hunters dare to hunt them. Moreover, hunting bears is very dangerous. Everyone would rather hunt rabbits and foxes than catch their attention. The price is very suitable. If you think it is expensive, a hunting bow costs three gold coins, I think you can take it and try your luck in the forest."

Seeing that Wu Ming had no intention of buying, the grocery merchant started selling bows and arrows again.

Wu Ming picked up the bow and arrow and pulled it twice, thinking that he could only do it himself. With his calculation ability, even with the physical fitness of an ordinary person, hunting bears and tigers is no problem, it just takes a little time.

"I want thirty snake galls, plus this hunting bow, a dagger, and two pots of feathered arrows."

After spending five gold coins, Wu Ming left with a bow and arrow on his back, and started his own hunting trip.

One morning, I found nothing. This is only the outermost edge of the Black Forest. There are no large prey except rabbits and pheasants.

After drinking some water and eating some bread at noon, Wu Ming continued to go deep inside.

After walking for about thirty miles, the surrounding weeds began to grow lush, and the jungle path left by the hunter disappeared, and the silence was unbearable.

"Cuckoo, cluck"

There are unknown birds singing in the trees, and the weeds on the ground are already half the height of a person.

Wu Ming took off the hunting bow behind his back, and the feathered arrow resting on Xuan did not start, but his eyes were changed to vigilance.

Walking in the primitive old forest, the most terrible enemy is not the beast, but one's own carelessness.

Wu Ming carefully inspected the surroundings, looking for the animal trails left by the beasts when they passed by, and finally he discovered the clues because of his ignorance.

"Rabbit dung, rat hair, and bent weeds. It seems that this is an animal path that is being used, even wild boars are using it, otherwise small animals would not open the animal path so large. Unfortunately, There are still no traces of bears, bears like to rub their bodies and paws on the bark, and they cannot be found here." Wu Ming checked very carefully, never letting go of any clues.

The existence of animal ways means that this area is full of vitality and has a complete ecological chain.

There are traces of gnawing on the grass roots on the ground, indicating that there are rodents active, and the gnawing area is not serious, indicating that the rodents are not infested, and there are carnivores restricting them.

Armed with this conclusion, Wu Ming went all the way along the beast path.

After about half an hour, Wu Ming suddenly stopped in front of a bush of thorns, and his hand holding the hunting bow tightened slightly.

"It's dangerous, what is it?" Wu Ming bent down, scanning the surrounding grass.

After a few breaths, a lone wolf with cubs appeared in front of him, and it seemed that he was looking for a companion.

Wu Ming didn't move, the wolf was not his target.

The female wolf didn't move either, she stared at Wu Ming earnestly for a while, and walked away with her cub, as if she knew he was not easy to mess with.

After watching the mother wolf and cubs leave, Wu Ming frowned and continued to move forward.

In fact, it was not good news to meet a female wolf. A pack of wolves represented a territory. It couldn't be the territory of leopards and tigers, and he would have to travel farther.

It was already afternoon, and it would be dark in a few hours.

Wu Ming hasn't gained anything yet, even if this is his first time entering the forest, returning without success is not what he likes.

"I want a bear, I want a tiger, I want a leopard, come out, my little ones!" Wu Ming muttered as he walked through the deserted jungle.

Another hour passed, and Wu Ming saw the bear's paw print, but unfortunately it was left a long time ago, and he did not find the bear's shadow.

Wu Ming continued to walk in without giving up. Other hunters might be afraid of this place, but Wu Ming definitely wouldn't.

But he also has his own calculations, if there is no harvest when the sun goes down, he will leave no matter what.

After all, the jungle is not suitable for human habitation, especially this kind of primeval jungle where cheetahs live. Even Wu Ming is unwilling to stay overnight, because it is too dangerous to do so.

"Roar"

"tiger!"

A sudden tiger roar caught Wu Ming's attention.

Wu Ming grasped the hunting bow in his hand, ran to the tiger's roar, and a feathered arrow was already on the bowstring.

Eight hundred steps, one thousand three hundred meters, Wu Ming is like a forest elf, running towards his prey.

After 5 minutes, an open area is reached.

In the eyes, there are two tigers doing shameless things, and the male tiger is roaring in a low voice, pressing on the body of a female tiger.

"middle!"

Raise your hand, draw your bow, shoot your arrow
The accuracy of the bow and arrow comes from the coordination of eyesight and angle, as well as the judgment of the wind direction.

After all, Wu Ming was the reincarnation of a strong man, and the target he locked on was no less than being locked on by a tracking missile, and two feathered arrows burst out in an instant.

"Boom, boom"

Two muffled sounds came, and Erhu, who was doing something shameless, was directly nailed to the forehead by the feather arrow.

Wu Ming stood a hundred steps away and waited quietly until the two tigers fell to the ground with a crash and the smell of blood wafted away, then he walked up holding the hunting bow.
