Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 327 Protecting Family and Benefactor 2

After thanking Jian, Mr. Lu left.

Lu Yuanjing was pulled by Mo Zhongli to the study. The house was built five years ago. After the reconstruction, a study was reserved for Mo Zhongli.

The study window faces the persimmon tree. There is a bookshelf in the study, but there are only a dozen books on it.

Mo Zhongli was communicating with Lu Yuanjing, and after they had communicated for a while.

Lu Yuanjing thought to himself: This younger brother of the Mo family has studied well and is very smart.

What a good seedling.

Lu Yuanjing stayed at the Mo family for the whole morning and went home after having lunch.

The sun set and Yun Chu went home.

"Sister, this is a gift from Brother Lu. Thank you for saving my life."

Yun Chu took the dagger and said, "Not bad." In this era, it is quite rare to be given such a fine iron dagger.

"Brother Lu also gave me a policy paper and gave me some pointers on my studies today."

Mo Zhongli chattered on and on about what happened during the day.

Although she could read, it was impossible for her to teach Lu Yuanjing literature. She had no way to explain why she suddenly knew so much.

Yun Chu felt that he could try to win over Lu Yuanjing and let Lu Yuanjing give Mo Zhongli some guidance.

Send some game to the Lu family tomorrow.

The next day, at the hour of You, Yun Chu went to Lu's house carrying his things.

Yun Chu avoided the crowded route and quietly arrived at the Lu family.

"Who is it?" Hu's voice sounded.

"Aunt Hu, I'm Yun Chu."

After waiting for a while, Mrs. Hu came to open the door.

"Yun Chu, come in quickly." Mrs. Hu smiled and welcomed Yun Chu in.

"Yun Chu, can you eat?"

"I have already eaten. Yesterday, Mr. Lu taught me about learning. Today, I sent some game for you to try."

"Thank you, Yunchu." Lu Yuanjing suddenly appeared and expressed his gratitude.

"Mr. Lu, you are too polite."

Yun Chu took out the game from the backpack.

It was covered with pine needles before, so Mrs. Hu didn't know what was inside. But when she saw three hares and two pheasants being taken out, she quickly said, "Why are you giving so many away? It's enough for us to keep one pheasant."

"As for the others, Yunchu, you can take them home." A few of them could be sold for quite a bit of money.

Mrs. Hu felt that it was not easy for Yun Chu to support the family, so how could they ask for so much.

Yun Chu didn't listen at all. After putting down the things, he picked up the backpack and ran away like a little whirlwind.

Hu wanted to catch up, but he couldn't.

Lu Yuanjing laughed at the side, "Mom, please accept it. At most, I can give some advice to Mo's brother on his studies."

"That's fine." Mrs. Hu looked at the pheasants and rabbits and said, "Ask your father to help with the preparations, otherwise the weather will get bad if left alone for too long."

"Okay." Lu Yuanjing went to call someone.

When Yun Chu returned home, she took a bucket and fetched water to water the vegetable patch. After the patch was watered, she swept the yard clean.

After finishing his work, Yun Chu went to wash up and rest.

Before dawn, Yun Chu got up, made breakfast, and boiled medicine for his mother. When the medicine was almost ready, Yun Chu woke up his younger brother and asked him to deliver the medicine to his mother.

She went back into the mountains with her bow and arrow.

This time, Yun Chu planned to go to the mountains to find wild ginseng. She put medicinal powder in her mother's medicine. After seven or eight days, her mother's health would definitely be better than before.

Yun Chu didn't dare to let her mother get better all of a sudden, for she was afraid that her mother would suspect something.

Ginseng can nourish the body, and when her mother gets better, she can say it is all thanks to the ginseng.

At noon, Yun Chu, who was eating dry food, suddenly sat up straight because a large beast was coming.

Yun Chu immediately climbed towards the tallest and largest tree. Like a monkey, he climbed up the tree nimbly, then hid in the tree canopy, aiming the arrow towards the northwest.

After a while, a spotted tiger appeared majestically.

"Swish" a sharp arrow shot towards the tiger's head, "Roar roar——" the tiger was hit hard in the head by the sharp arrow.

The entire shaft of the arrow penetrated the tiger's head, leaving only the feathers outside.

"Swish" Yun Chu shot another arrow, this time it pierced the tiger's neck.

The tiger fell in a pool of blood, still struggling in pain.

Yun Chu waited for two quarters of an hour before she climbed down the tree. She picked up a small stone and threw it hard at the tiger.

Only after making sure that the tiger was dead did Yun Chu walk to the tiger's side.

Yun Chu put the tiger into the space and continued to look for ginseng.

Behind Yun Chu, he released the Fire Iron Flying Ants to search. With the help of the Fire Iron Flying Ants, they quickly found three wild ginsengs.

After collecting the materials, Yun Chu went down the mountain and went home.

The next day, Yun Chu set out early, preparing to send the tiger he had killed yesterday to the county to sell it.

What good price does the tiger sell for in town.

As Yun Chu entered Wen'an County, someone on horseback came from a distance.

Jiang Mingshun, who was walking in front, stopped immediately when he saw the tiger.

"Did you hunt this tiger?" Jiang Mingshun looked at Yun Chu and asked in shock.

"Of course I hunted it."

Jiang Mingshun: "How old are you?"

"Thirteen."

Jiang Mingshun's jaw dropped to the ground in shock.

Mu Wenli: "This young lady is amazing."

Jiang Mingshun: "I have bought your tiger. Carry it to the county government office."

"Okay, sir." Yun Chu carried the tiger to the county government office.

When he arrived at the county government office, Yun Chu received five hundred taels of silver. After receiving the silver, Yun Chu left directly.

This tiger was worth at most three hundred taels of silver, yet this rich young man actually gave so much silver. Of course he left with the extra silver.

Jiang Mingshun and others then took the tiger and rushed to the provincial capital at full speed.

Jiang Mingshun is the youngest son of the governor of Guangling City and a man with no shortage of money.

The reason why he was in Wen'an County was because Mu Wenli, the son of the Wen'an County magistrate, was a classmate and good friend of Jiang Mingshun.

Mu Wenli invited Jiang Mingshun to attend his birthday party, so Jiang Mingshun appeared in Wen'an County.

"My son, did you hunt this?" Yu asked.

"Mom, if your son had this ability, he would have joined the army long ago." Although he knew martial arts, his skills were average and he could only deal with one or two ordinary adult men.

But hunting tigers does not have this ability.

"I bought this in Wen'an County. Mom, you may not know that the one who hunted the tiger was a thirteen-year-old girl." Unfortunately, he forgot to ask the girl's name.

Yu was slightly surprised. "This young lady is quite capable. She can actually hunt tigers."

"It's a pity that she's a woman. If she were a man, she would definitely achieve something. She might even become a general."

Yun Chu bought a lot of things and took them home.

"Sister, why do you buy so many things?"

"I killed a tiger and met a rich young man who was a victim. He spent 500 taels to buy the tiger. I made money, so I bought so many things."

"You're not hurt."

"Of course not."

Mo Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister, our family is not short of money now, so you don't have to go hunting wild animals."

“It’s just a coincidence that we met.” Yun Chu said with a wry smile.

Mo Zhongli said helplessly: "Sister, go and rest for a while, I'll go boil some water for you to wash."

Mo Zhong left to boil water, and Yun Chu went to put the banknotes away.

Adding today's five hundred taels, the family now has one thousand eight hundred and eighty-three taels of silver.

With so much money, their family of three can live a good life.

But Yun Chu thought long-term. She thought that if Mo Zhongli passed the examination to become a student, the expenses would be quite high.

Yun Chu had already thought it through. If Mo Zhongli passed the examination and became a student, he would buy him a house in the county, and he would live in the house while studying.

After passing the examination for a tongsheng, there are still exams to become a xiucai and a juren. Anyway, when you add it all up, this little money is not enough.

There is a lot of gold in her space, but it is hard to explain, so she still needs to hunt more prey to sell.

As for buying land, Yun Chu is not considering it for the time being.

Now that I have bought the land, there is no one at home to farm it.

Of course, you can hire a long-term worker or buy someone.

But for a hunter's family like them, hiring people and long-term laborers would only attract the attention of scoundrels.

The silver is in the space and the thief cannot steal it, but if it hurts her family, her mission will fail.

Moreover, once you have land, you cannot leave it idle because you have to pay taxes.

So she thought, wait until Mo Zhongli passed the imperial examination and then buy some land, which would be tax-free.
