The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 16 Successful Return
Liu Ergou didn't understand at first, but saw Lin Hai picking up the strange thing again.

He grabbed the tree trunk tightly and stared at it with wide eyes.

I really don’t understand how something that’s just a round tube can be so powerful.

Lin Hai used a fire stick to light a fuse and pointed it at the wolf below.

Only a loud noise was heard, and the three wolves were knocked to the ground, struggling and wailing.

"Start shooting!" Lin Hai shouted loudly.

Liu Ergou no longer hesitated, took his sword and shot at the wolf.

Shoot all three struggling wolves.

Lin Hai then dispersed all the smoke and looked down.

Five wolves were killed in succession, and the remaining wolves finally felt fear.

With a whimper, he turned around and ran away with his tail between his legs, quickly disappearing into the woods.

"Should all the wolves have run away?" Liu Ergou asked quickly.

"Wolves are very cunning beasts, so be careful!"

Lin Hai took advantage of this free time to re-string all the crossbows.

After the gunpowder barrel cools down, gunpowder and iron sand must be pressed into it.

He shouted towards Wang Dayong: "If you can't see the wolf anymore, come here quickly!"

Wang Dayong agreed.

Then I heard the sound of people climbing down from the trees.

Soon several people came running over.

All the bows and arrows have been used up, no wonder there is nothing we can do against these wolves.

I saw the corpses of wolves lying on the ground.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

"My dear, how did you kill the wolf?"

Lin Hai saw that the wolf did not chase him again, so he was sure that they had all been scared away.

Climb down slowly from the tree.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go back quickly!"

It didn't look like much from the tree, but when I got down, I realized how big the wolf was.

When he stands, he is as tall as a human being, and he weighs about a hundred pounds.

Wang Dayong greeted everyone: "One person can carry a wolf back. The wolf skin can be sold for a lot of money. And if you kill the wolf, you can go to the Yamen to receive the reward."

When you get tired on the road, switch to someone else. "

"Let me declare first, I cannot carry such a heavy thing." Lin Hai said.

"You don't need to carry it. You saved our lives. Just let us do this little thing." Wang Dayong said with a smile.

"That's right. You are my savior. How can I let you do such rough work?"

They didn't dare to stay anymore, so they left quickly with the wolf on their backs.

On the way, Wang Dayong saw the weapon Lin Hai was holding very strangely.

He couldn't help but ask: "Lin Hai, the one that made the loud noise just now was the iron pipe you held, right?"

Lin Hai also knew that he could no longer hide it, so he had to explain: "Yes, this thing is called a gunpowder gun. It requires gunpowder and iron sand.

Although it is very powerful, it is particularly troublesome to use. "

"This is a good thing. If each of us has it, we won't have to be afraid of encountering wild beasts when hunting in the mountains." Tiedan'er looked envious.

"This thing is very troublesome to make, and you also need to prepare gunpowder. The shot I just made cost at least one tael of silver." Lin Hai replied calmly.

When I heard that it was so expensive, I was shocked.

"What you said can't be true, it's too expensive!"

"Forget it if you don't believe it!" Lin Hai was too lazy to talk nonsense to them.

Wang Dayong felt a little sorry. "You just used it twice. Didn't it cost more than two taels of silver? You came to save us, and you spent so much money."

Two taels of silver is almost enough to cover living expenses for a family of four for a year.

They couldn't afford it, and they didn't offer to compensate Lin Hai.

Lin Hai waved his hand and said: "As long as I can save people, spending a little money is nothing. This is a life-saving thing for me, and I don't dare to use it easily.

It was with this gun that I dared to go hunting in Beishan.

But you are too brave to rush to such a deep place. "

After listening to Lin Hai's words, everyone else lowered their heads and did not dare to answer.

Wang Dayong's face was full of bitterness, "It's not that they all envy you for harvesting so many prey every day. No matter what I say, I can't stop them. They have to hunt here in Beishan."

There is indeed a lot of prey here, and we go deeper and deeper when we are happy.

By the time he realized it, it was already too late and he encountered this group of wolves again.

In addition, our bows and arrows were all exhausted, so we had no choice but to climb up a tree and hide. "

"Then you can remember this lesson in the future. Even if you go hunting in Beishan, you have to stay outside."

"After this incident, we will definitely not come here again. If we come again, our lives will be dead."

Several people felt scared for a while.

Liu Ergou looked at the crossbow in Lin Hai's hand and asked, "Lin Hai, this seems to be a crossbow of yours, right? The shot doesn't seem to be an arrow?"

"Because my strength is too weak, I specially modified it. It is much more troublesome to use than a crossbow, and it is also less powerful.

Can only be used to hunt smaller prey. "

Lin Hai explained.

Wang Dayong said at this moment: "Your weapons are all good, why don't you hunt with us in the future! Even if your gunpowder gun is powerful, you can't deal with a pack of wolves alone."

Lin Hai remained silent, still not wanting to get involved with them.

Wang Dayong knew what he was thinking.

After all, his weapons are powerful and he can catch a lot of prey every time.

If we fight together, everyone else will get the benefit and we will suffer the loss.

No one would be happy if it were anyone else.

However, Wang Dayong likes Lin Hai's mind. People who have read books are different and much smarter than them.

He spoke again: "You will take half of the prey you catch in the future, and we will divide the rest!"

Others also looked at Lin Hai expectantly.

In the past, I particularly disliked Lin Hai, but now the situation is reversed.

Together, they may not be able to catch as many prey as Lin Hai.

"Let me think about this!" Lin Hai said.

Wang Dayong sighed and had no choice but to agree first.

By the time we walked out of the mountain, it was already dark.

Light the torch and continue on your way.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we saw many people waiting anxiously.

When Liu Ergou returned home, he had already brought the news to his family. They were all worried to death, fearing that their men would be eaten by wolves.

They all ran to the entrance of the village and waited.

"Ms. sir, you're back!" Qiao'er ran out of the crowd and threw herself into his arms.

No matter how many people were watching, hugging his waist and crying bitterly,
"I'm not doing well. Why are you crying? Didn't I ask you to wait at home?"

"Aren't I worried about you? I haven't been back for so long. I'm really scared to death!"

"Haha, you underestimate my husband too much, right? Didn't I bring everyone back safely?" Lin Hai laughed and comforted Qiao'er.

Other women also ran to the front, looking for their husbands.
