Chapter 20: Taking a concubine? I need a big bed.
Ye Kun suddenly became alert, all his sleepiness disappeared, and he opened his eyes wide.
Under the moonlight, a skinny tiger is walking towards us.
Take two steps, stop for a while, and take a look.
The tiger's skeleton is huge, but it looks like it weighs only three hundred pounds, and its steps are light.
Ye Kun breathed a sigh of relief.
As for this sick cat, I guess if we send two strong men to it, they can pin it down and beat it to death with their bare hands!
collapse--!
The shooter in the left guard tower was impatient and pulled the trigger before Ye Kun could.
Upon hearing the sound, Ye Kun immediately fired a crossbow arrow to make the finishing move.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, four arrows shot out in succession!
The skinny tiger fell to the ground with a cry.
But Ye Kun saw that the two arrows shot from the left guard tower both missed.
Fortunately, I caught up in time and successfully made the last move.
"Someone come, another tiger has been hit!"
The deputy shooter immediately beat the drum and shouted.
Ye Kun stood up and shouted at the guardhouse on the left: "Zhou Tiehu, who told you to shoot the arrow first? You almost ruined my plan!"
This Zhou Tiehu is the son of Zhou Taigong.
He is in his twenties and usually looks down on others because his family has some money.
Originally, Zhou Tiehu was not going to join the tiger-hunting team.
Because of fear of death.
But when he saw Ye Kun kill three tigers in a row last night without any danger, he couldn't help but feel jealous. He pestered Qin Chou and Ye Kun and forced himself to join the tiger-hunting team.
Ye Kun arranged him to be the secondary shooter, but he was not happy and insisted on being the main shooter.
Zhou Tiehu had already climbed down from the guardhouse and said with a grin, "Ye Dalang, at least we have shot the tiger."
Ye Kun also climbed down the guard tower and glared, "Both of your arrows missed the target. You can see for yourself!"
In order to calibrate the accuracy of the crossbow in time, Ye Kun marked each arrow.
The four long arrows that Zhou Tiehu held had black spots on their tails.
Zhou Tiehu couldn't deny it and shrugged: "It's just my first time and I don't have any experience. I will definitely be able to shoot accurately next time!"
The villagers who came to meet us were already rushing over with torches.
Because Qin Chou took a dozen villagers to the county town and has not returned yet.
As there were not enough people in the village, some old men and strong women were mobilized to join the second team.
Skinny Tiger has died.
Ye Kun pulled out the long arrow, picked up the long arrow that Zhou Tiehu shot in vain, and asked everyone to carry Shouhu back.
Unexpectedly, Qin Erwu in the south of the village also sent out a signal and shot a tiger!
Ye Kun asked the village women to carry Shouhu back, and he took people to support Qin Erwu.
Qin Erwu shot a tiger weighing more than 500 pounds.
Moreover, two arrows hit the tiger's head at the same time, the arrow shafts penetrated more than a foot, and the arrowheads smashed the tiger's skull into pieces.
"Erwu, what a great archery skill!"
Ye Kun praised.
"Brother Dalang, your thing is useful!"
Qin Erwu laughed out loud.
Wang Da Kui was rude and laughed, "Brother Dalang has eaten tiger whips before, so his stuff is useful anywhere. After we get the reward, let Brother Dalang go to Chunyan Tower to try out his stuff!"
The other country men all burst into laughter.
I'm a country boy and I can't read, so this is the only fun I have.
"Stop talking nonsense and take the tiger home quickly."
Ye Kun smiled bitterly and rolled his eyes.
These guys, once they have some money they just want to spend it on eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, they have no ambition.
I will never go to Chunyan Tower. At most... I will take Dai Xi as my concubine.
These two days, Dai Xi is still making clothes at Ye Kun's house. She is clever, considerate and gentle.
Ye Kun found that she was quite suitable to be a concubine.
Her whole body exudes the temperament of a concubine!
It's like a gentle kitten. When you see it, you want to pet it.
The tiger-hunting team came to the rescue and everyone carried the tiger back to the village.
Or skin and meat them overnight.
The villagers haven’t finished eating the tiger meat they shared yesterday, and they have another harvest today.
Ye Kun did not take the meat of the sick tiger, but just cut 30 kilograms of meat from the tiger shot by Qin Erwu, as a token of his appreciation.
Kill five tigers in two days.
Caomiao Village has met the conditions and the entire village will be tax-exempt for the entire next year.
The villagers were all cheering and excited, they were a hundred times happier than during the Chinese New Year.
There were also villagers who were counting on their fingers, calculating how much reward money they would get.
Ye Kun cut the tiger meat and went home to sleep.
Jiang Yourong was also awake, waiting for Ye Kun at home, reaching out to take the tiger meat.
"You can't carry it, let me do it."
Ye Kun put the tiger meat down and cut it into three big pieces: "Put it aside for now and deal with it tomorrow. Fresh tiger meat won't go bad."
"There's so much tiger meat that we can't finish it all."
Jiang Yourong was all smiles, and couldn't help but sigh: "I couldn't get full with brown rice porridge before, but now I can't even finish the meat."
"I'll ask some villagers to send some to your mother's family tomorrow."
Ye Kun patted Jiang Yourong's head and said, "After we finish killing the tiger and get the reward, I will go back to your parents' home with you."
"Da Lang, you are so nice..."
Jiang Yourong fell into Ye Kun's arms.
For some reason, Jiang Yourong would feel weak all over whenever Ye Kun touched her head or pinched her shoulders.
If it touches other places, it will become even softer.
Ye Kun smiled and lifted Jiang Yourong up like a princess: "It's time to sleep, Yourong."
Jiang Yourong became even softer than a puddle of mud.
However, Ye Kun was too busy these two days and forgot to repair the bed.
The broken bed creaked for a long time, making Jiang Yourong blush with embarrassment.
The ceremony is over.
Jiang Yourong was wrapped in a newly made linen shirt and took out a thin linen rope from under the pillow.
Then, using the moonlight outside the window, he solemnly tied a knot in the hemp rope.
Ye Kun was puzzled: "Yourong, why are you tying a knot in the rope?"
Jiang Yourong leaned close to Ye Kun's ear and said, "Let me write it down to see how much I owe you in total. Otherwise, I won't be able to remember it later..."
puff!
My wife is so cute.
Ye Kun hugged Jiang Yourong and said, "Wife, I really like you so much. Don't worry, I will pay you back slowly. We have a lifetime to live with, so we have plenty of time."
"I like you, too. I feel empty inside when I can't see you for a while..."
"Then why are you asking me to take a concubine? Aren't you afraid that if I have a concubine, I won't sleep with you anymore?"
"If we have a concubine, won't we sleep together?"
Jiang Yourong was puzzled and said seriously: "Is the bed not big enough? Can't we just make a big bed and a big quilt?"
"Pfft... Let's sleep together. Let's sleep together. Go to sleep, wife."
Ye Kun hugged Jiang Yourong, stroked her long hair, and felt that his life was complete.
Taking a concubine, a big bed and a big quilt, my wife is really heartbroken!
the next day.
Ye Kun slept in, got up, washed, stretched his muscles, and chatted with his mother.
Then let’s watch Dai Xi make clothes.
Dai Xi put down the needlework in her hand and said with a smile: "Brother Dalang, thank you. I have distributed two kilograms of tiger meat in the past two days. I heard that there will be some reward money as well."
"What are you thanking me for? Everyone has it."
Ye Kun waved his hands and did a simple calculation: "We killed five tigers in total, you should get... about seventy copper coins."
Dai Xi was surprised: "Brother Dalang, how did you know there were seventy? Are there really that many? I thought there were only about ten."
Ye Kun smiled: "This can be calculated."
Dai Xi admired him very much, and was a bit infatuated with him: "Brother Dalang is really smart. Last night, Caidie and I calculated for a long time, but we still couldn't figure it out."
"It's okay. I'll teach you how to settle accounts later."
Ye Kun suddenly felt uneasy and touched Dai Xi's head.
Just like petting a cat.
