He always thought that it contained food, but he didn't expect that when he opened it, it turned out to be a tiger skin and some rabbit skins.

In fact, the original owner and his father lived so much on the mountain, and they hunted countless wolves, tigers and other prey.There are also a lot of these leathers.But when Meng Wei left home, he sold all those skins, leaving only this tiger skin.

This tiger skin was obtained by the original owner from the tiger he hunted alone when he was 13 years old. Meng Wei kept the tiger skin as a commemoration.

Meng Qing didn't want to touch this tiger's skin either, but now the family was too poor, to put it a bit selfish and coquettish, he simply couldn't live such a rough life, eating barbecue every day, he couldn't stand it at all.

Furthermore, since he has inherited this body, he will not be ambiguous about the responsibilities he should perform, and of course, he will not be polite about the powers that can be exercised.

"This tiger skin can be sold for at least 80 taels, and the wolf can be sold for about 50 taels. The money is enough for us to live on for a while."

Zheng Xuan couldn't believe that his family, which was poor just now, had more than 100 taels of silver in an instant.

Meng Qing glanced at Zheng Xuan, who was wearing thin clothes, frowned and said, "It's too cold today, I can bear it, but you can't. There are more than a dozen rabbit skins here, you can use them to make a vest Hats and cotton shoes, so as not to get cold."

Zheng Xuan waved his hand, "This rabbit skin can be bought for more than [-] yuan a piece, you should sell it for money!"

Meng Qing glanced at him, this kind of thinking is not good, "What is the purpose of selling money? It's not to make my life better. I used to be a rough guy, and it's okay to be alone. Now that I have you, I can't do anything." I won't let you live this kind of life with me. Besides, I don't pay much attention to these rabbit skins. Even if they are sold for money, they are still used to buy clothes. Is it possible that you don't want to make clothes yourself?"

Zheng Xuan quickly waved his hands, "Of course not."

Meng Qing nodded in satisfaction, "That's it. Let's pack up quickly, and leave for the town as soon as it's still early."

As Meng Qing said, he rolled up the leather, wrapped it in a big cloth, and then made it into a big package.

"Don't be idle, think about it quickly, what else needs to be added to the house, I don't want to live such a rough and rough life again. So, this important task is entrusted to you."

After Zheng Xuan heard this, he quickly scanned the house. This house is really too simple and lacks everything.He had to do the summing up.

Meng Qing lived on the mountainside, even if the two of them walked fast, it would take a quarter of an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.

The snow on the ground hadn't melted yet, Meng Qing and Zheng Xuan walked on it with one deep foot and one shallow foot, they were almost unconscious from freezing to death.

Meng Qing looked at the pair of worn boots on her feet, feeling very distressed.The original owner is not afraid of the cold, but he is.And Zheng Xuan, even if Meng Qing put Meng Wei's clothes on him, he was still shivering from the cold.

In the final analysis, the father and son are not afraid of the cold, and the clothes are few and not too thick.

The two had just reached the foot of the mountain when someone discovered them.The two of them are the influential figures in the village now. What happened yesterday, after these gossip girls publicized it, it is estimated that everyone in the nearby village knows about it.

What's more, the appearance of the two of them now is really eye-catching.Meng Qing was carrying a large package on one shoulder and a wolf on the other, so it was difficult not to attract attention.

Li Chunhua, who lived at the foot of the mountain, saw him first, looked at the big wolf, and said in amazement, "Meng Qing, did you hunt this wolf this morning?"

Meng Qing nodded with a smile, "I was lucky this morning. I met a wolf that got lost with the wolves. I plan to take it to the town and sell it so that it can be exchanged for food and survive this winter."

Li Chunhua nodded in agreement, "That's right, for people like us, it's better to exchange the prey for money, it's too wasteful to eat by ourselves."Just as he was talking, a group of people surrounded him. Meng Qing had seen all of these people before, they were the aunts who reported Zheng Xuan's grievances, so he still had a good impression of them.

The two greeted each other politely, and after a few greetings, they left with Zheng Xuan.When he was leaving, he also heard someone whispering, "I said that Zheng Xuan definitely made money by following Meng Qing, and Meng Qing is a good hunter. It's not easy to make some money. Look, casually." If you catch a wolf, you will have nothing to worry about in the days to come.”

"No, speaking of it, Meng Qing is fifteen years old. At this age, I can consider getting married. I have a niece in my hometown, and her age is not too bad. Why don't you try to match her up!"

When she said this, most people agreed, and they all searched for suitable candidates in their minds.Poor Meng Qing didn't know that when he came back, he might face all the matchmakers coming to his door.

The two of them walked out of the village far away, leaving everything behind.In the whiteness, the figures of the two walked further and further away.

Meng Qing looked back at Zheng Xuan whose lips were blue from the cold behind him, feeling distressed for a while.

"Here, it's still a while before we get to town, so put it on quickly, or you'll get sick."Meng Qing took off his coat and put it on Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan looked at the big jacket on his body, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, it felt good that someone cared about him.

"No, I'm wearing it."Then, he took off the leather jacket and handed it to Meng Qing.

Meng Qing shook his head and said, "Put it on quickly. I'm not afraid of the cold. After walking for so long, I feel a little hot. So, put it on quickly!"

Seeing that he was really not cold, Zheng Xuan hesitated for a while, and put it on because he was really too cold.

The two walked for a while in silence.

Meng Qing was really bored and thought about it.

"Have you thought about what to buy?"

Zheng Xuan thought for a while and said, "There are too few things in the house, there are too few cups, plates, tableware, tables, chairs and cabinets. In the future, it will be difficult to entertain guests at home."

Meng Qing nodded, "When you get to town later, you can just buy it. Is there anything else?"

"Of course there are also pots and pans for cooking, as well as firewood, rice, oil and salt." Zheng Xuan said happily, and poured out all the brains he could think of.

Meng Qing thought for a while, and it seemed that this amount of money was only enough for his food and clothing. If he wanted to improve his living standard, he needed to make more money.

Meng Qing said, "You can make decisions about these things. Apart from these, is there anything else you want to buy?"

Zheng Xuan paused for a while, and a thought came to his mind, and that thought became clearer and stronger.

So much so that he said "I still want to buy some pens, inks, papers and inkstones".After finishing speaking, Zheng Xuan regretted it. Pens, inks, papers and inkstones are all used by scholars. They are not cheap. This request can be said to be unreasonable, but he is gambling.

Zheng Xuan stared at Meng Qing's face, not wanting to miss any of his expressions.

But Meng Qing didn't show any expression, just nodded, "We'll go shopping later."

Zheng Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little guilty, and explained unconsciously, "If you can write a few words, you can also work as an accountant in the town in the future, and the salary will naturally be higher."

Meng Qing stopped and glanced at him, not daring to say, "You just want to be an accountant?" This requirement is too low!When did his host become so unambitious?

Zheng Xuan looked at him incomprehensibly, thinking that he was angry, and panicked, "Actually, it doesn't matter if I don't know how to read, I am".

Meng Qing stopped, realizing that his tone might scare him, and said softly, "I mean, if possible, I would like to send you to study in an academy. After all, you are only 12 years old." But he was still a junior high school student.

Meng Qing thought that even if his host didn't want to study, he would have to complete nine years of compulsory education.

This time, Zheng Xuan was stunned. He never thought that one day, he could go to the academy to study.

"Is what you said true?"

Meng Qing affirmed, "Of course it is true."

Zheng Xuan was hit by great joy, and suddenly didn't know what to say, he clenched his fists hard, and the corners of his mouth were almost pulled behind his ears.

Meng Qing raised his eyebrows, it seems that he misunderstood, his host still likes to read.

"However, studying requires a lot of money, me."After Zheng Xuan had fun, he thought of this question again, and his heart suddenly became heavy.

Meng Qing waved his hand indifferently, "You can rest assured about this, I still have some money. I have to get at least 100 taels for my trip to the mountains, and you are worried that you will not be able to pay for your studies."

Zheng Xuan bowed heavily to Meng Qing, "Don't worry, I will definitely repay you in the future."

Meng Qing patted him on the head, "What are you talking about, we agreed yesterday that we will be a family from now on, helping each other, you will be out of touch like this."

Zheng Xuan smiled, "Yes." At this time, Zheng Xuan really took Meng Qing's words to heart. He thought, from now on, Meng Qing will be his own brother, and from now on, no matter what, the two will never leave.Wait, what's wrong with this direction?

In this cold winter, their hearts are getting closer and warmer.

The two of them walked and talked for about an hour before reaching the town.

Looking at the pillar with Qinghe Town written in big characters standing in front of him, Meng Qing's heart relaxed. He looked back at the road behind him and cursed secretly.When he has money, he will definitely buy a horse. Walking around every day is too fucking tiring.

On the other hand, Zheng Xuan, Meng Qing looked at him in surprise, "You're not tired?" He waited for him to shout tired all the way, and then showed his masculinity. He didn't expect Zheng Xuan to be so small. , carried it abruptly.

Zheng Xuan smiled, "What's so tiring?"

Meng Qing scratched his head, well, he was the one who made all the fuss. "Then let's sell this leather now!"

Zheng Xuan followed Meng Qing and came to a leather goods shop of Jiang's family.

As soon as Meng Qing entered, the shopkeeper sitting inside came out, happily saying, "Meng Qing is here, what good things did he bring?"

Meng Qing smiled and said "Uncle Lin" and then opened the big package on her back and put it on the counter.

Shopkeeper Lin was taken aback when he saw the tiger skin, "Why are you willing to sell the tiger skin?"

Meng Qing smiled, "The money at home is not enough. I want to buy something more, so I sold it. Uncle Lin will see how much money I can sell it for."

Uncle Lin flipped through it for a while, and said, "This leather is not bad, and it's well-made, even if you pay 90 taels."

Meng Qing nodded. The price was quite reasonable. They used to sell their fur goods to this company.

Uncle Lin put the money in Meng Qing's hands, looked at the wolf on his back and said, "You just hunted this wolf?"

Meng Qing nodded, "I just hunted this morning."

"What are you going to do about it".

"I plan to go to the restaurant to see if there is any restaurant willing to accept it later."

Shopkeeper Lin looked at Meng Qing, this child was too honest, he heard that his father died and was left alone, it was pitiful, so he wanted to help him.

"There must be a restaurant to collect it, but the price may not be very high. How about it, if you don't worry, sell him to me! I will give you 60 taels of silver."

Meng Qing just thought about it and agreed, this wolf is definitely more than 60 taels, you can buy 30 taels for the wolf skin alone, not to mention the rare wolf meat.However, Meng Qing also knew that for this price, shopkeeper Lin gave it for the sake of the original owner's face. Although the wolf fur was worth two or thirty taels, it had to be concocted.

Moreover, Meng Qing is a person with no background, no hotel can squeeze him hard, how can he get 60 taels.So the price is very suitable, and neither of them lost money.

Meng Qing thanked him solemnly, shopkeeper Lin waved his hand, put the sixty silver coins into his hand, and said with a smile, "Live a good life, and in the future, if you need anything, you can come to me."

Meng Qing nodded, put down the wolf, and left with Zheng Xuan.Shopkeeper Lin glanced at them and sighed. He also knew Zheng Xuan. His father taught in this town and was his son's husband.Although I don't know why these two children got together, I hope they will have a good life in the future.

Zheng Xuan looked at the 150 taels of silver and hadn't realized it yet. In just a short while, they already had 150 taels of silver.

Meng Qing knocked him on the head amusedly, and said, "Why, are you shocked? Do you think I'm amazing!"

Zheng Xuan chuckled, "Yes, yes, you are amazing, you are the most amazing person I have ever seen."

Meng Qing was very happy when he heard it, but why did he feel that the tone was a bit like coaxing a child.

Meng Qing shook his head, no longer entangled with this problem, and said in a haughty manner to Zheng Xuan, "Go, let's clean up this street!"
