Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Breaking Through to Martial Artist Today, Adding Points!

The village became lively.

Wild boars are very ferocious and have a bad temper. They usually come in groups of several and are difficult to hunt.

It is considered lucky to occasionally hunt one.

Hunting two at once is truly awesome.

It was already afternoon, and many fishermen had returned. They all gathered around to watch the excitement.

“Brother Chen is amazing!”

“Yes, he carried back such a big wild boar by himself! His physique is too strong!”

“Of course! You see Lady Zhou’s radiant face every day, Brother Chen’s strong physique is evident!”

“Ye Gou and Er Ma Zi were both red-faced from carrying a sow. There’s really no comparison, no harm!”

“More than that, look at the injuries of the two wild boars. There are no other injuries except for the eyes, which means Brother Chen shot all four arrows into the eyes without missing a single one. This archery is truly divine!”

“A hundred paces piercing willows is a perfect description of Brother Chen’s archery!”

“Lady Zhou is truly blessed!”

“Look, Lady Zhou is coming!”

Qin Hong Yu hurriedly ran over and saw Zhou Chen carrying a big wild boar. She was both surprised and delighted. She didn’t expect Zhou Chen to really hunt a wild boar.

And two at that.

Especially Zhou Chen carrying a big wild boar by himself, that imposing and majestic figure that looked as steady as a mountain, made Qin Hong Yu’s legs tighten, and a sweet feeling seemed to flow from the tip of her heart.

Women admire strength.

Who doesn’t want their man to be powerful?

If a man is powerful, no one will dare to bully you!
“Brother Chen!”

Qin Hong Yu hurriedly came to Zhou Chen’s side. Her eyes seemed to be able to drip water, her admiration and adoration were evident.

“Hello, Sister-in-law!”

Ye Gou and Er Ma Zi hurriedly greeted her.

“Hong Yu, I’ll go sell these two wild boars first!”

Zhou Chen took Ye Gou and Er Ma Zi with him, carrying the wild boar in one go to the grain shop, which was a branch of a trading company.

It not only dealt in grain but also traded other things.

Hearing the commotion outside, the shopkeeper came out with two assistants.

When he saw the big wild boar Zhou Chen was carrying, even he was secretly shocked.

He was not surprised by the wild boar, but by Zhou Chen’s strength.

“Brother Chen, you are very capable!”

The shopkeeper knew Zhou Chen. In the past, Old Man Cao often brought Zhou Chen here to sell prey and buy daily necessities such as grain.

“Shopkeeper Zhao, I’m selling these two wild boars!”

Zhou Chen put down the wild boar, then brought over the sow that Ye Gou and Er Ma Zi were carrying and placed them together, speaking to Zhao Yuan.

“Brother Chen, you are also an old customer. These two wild boars together weigh about six hundred catties. I’ll give you a good price, ten taels of silver, what do you think?”

Zhao Yuan looked at the two wild boars. Judging from their injuries, Zhou Chen’s archery had clearly surpassed his master, far exceeding Old Man Cao.

Moreover, Zhou Chen was quite strong, perhaps naturally gifted or having learned a few martial arts techniques. He was considered a capable person in this village.

He would definitely be able to hunt a lot of prey in the future.

“Okay, Shopkeeper Zhao is straightforward!”

Zhou Chen smiled and did not bargain.

This price was quite reasonable.

Ordinary pork cost twenty copper coins per catty, so six hundred catties of pork would be twelve taels of silver.

His two wild boars were not yet processed.

However, wild boar meat was more expensive than ordinary pork, and if it was a demonized wild boar, the price would be even higher.

Because it was then considered demon beast meat.

Like the demonized tiger that Zhang Long killed yesterday, if it were sold, it would start at at least one hundred taels of silver.

After selling the wild boars, Zhou Chen bought twenty catties of salt and other daily necessities.

Salt was not expensive, ten copper coins per catty.

Including other daily necessities, he spent less than one tael of silver.

However, one tael of silver was still a lot.

Qin Hong Yu hugged the purchased items and returned home with Zhou Chen, feeling both distressed and happy.

Ye Gou and Er Ma Zi followed behind with the pheasants and hares.

Back home.

Zhou Chen took out two dead piglets, two hares, and two pheasants and gave them to Ye Gou and Er Ma Zi:

“Thank you for your hard work today!”

“What are you talking about, Brother Chen? This is nothing. If you need anything in the future, just let us know, we’ll be there!”

Ye Gou and Er Ma Zi patted their chests, their voices resounding.

“Okay, go back and rest!”

Zhou Chen sent them away.

The two of them were also sensible and happily left with the piglets, hares, and pheasants.

After leaving, they deliberately took a detour around the village, attracting envious glances from everyone.

“Feels good!”

Under the envious gazes of everyone, the two of them, who were already exhausted, finally returned to their respective homes and processed the prey they had obtained.

Zhou Chen and Qin Hong Yu were also processing.

Zhou Chen did not touch the four live piglets for the time being, raising them to eat fresh.

“We’ll have braised suckling pig tonight!”

After processing the remaining dead piglet and handing it to Qin Hong Yu to take to the kitchen, Zhou Chen continued to process the other hares and pheasants.

He skinned the hares and removed their internal organs.

He plucked the feathers of the pheasants and removed their internal organs.

Then he rubbed them with salt and hung them up to dry.

After finishing, Zhou Chen took out the little fox and petted it.

The little fox seemed to have become tame.

It lay on Zhou Chen’s lap with a look of enjoyment. Zhou Chen rubbed its furry head and smiled:

“Since you’re so well-behaved, I won’t lock you in the cage tonight!” Zhou Chen also wanted to see if the little guy would run away.

It didn’t matter if it ran away.

After petting the little fox for a while, Qin Hong Yu also finished cooking.

A basin of braised suckling pig and a large bowl of stir-fried chicken offal.

Qin Hong Yu filled a large bowl of rice for Zhou Chen.

“Brother Chen, you’re becoming more and more of a rice bucket!”

Qin Hong Yu teased.

“If I don’t eat more, how will I gain strength?”

Zhou Chen smiled and glanced at Qin Hong Yu: “Without strength, how can I satisfy you?”

Qin Hong Yu blushed and stuffed a large piece of fatty meat into Zhou Chen’s mouth:

“So much meat still can’t shut your mouth!”

“Only yours can!”

“What are you talking about!”

The two of them ate their fill, their bodies and minds content.

Especially Qin Hong Yu, seeing that Zhou Chen had hunted two wild boars today and earned ten taels of silver, she almost fainted from happiness.

“After dinner, we need to exercise more!”

Zhou Chen scooped up Qin Hong Yu and strode towards the bedroom.

“Oh, the little fox hasn’t been locked up yet!”

“Don’t worry about it!”

“Turn off the lights!”

“No need, we can afford the oil!”

“You bad boy!”

“Ah, there… no… stop…”

……

For ten consecutive days, Zhou Chen did not leave the house.

The little fox had also become tame and did not run away.

Ye Gou, Er Ma Zi, and other hunters wanted to go hunting with him, but Zhou Chen refused, staying at home all day to “work hard.”

Now everyone could see it.

Zhou Chen was a capable person, but he was lazy.

Every time he finished hunting, he would go home to “work on” his wife. Only when the food at home was almost gone would he go out hunting again.

After another two days, because Zhou Chen’s appetite was getting bigger and bigger, and the meat at home was almost finished, Zhou Chen had to go out hunting again.

This time, Zhou Chen took Ye Gou, Er Ma Zi, and two other hunters with him.

He found a herd of sika deer and shot four of the strongest ones in a row, each weighing about two hundred catties.

He carried two by himself, and the remaining two were carried by the other four.

After returning to the village.

Zhou Chen removed the deer antlers and gave one to each of the four, Ye Gou and the others. He sold the remaining two deer and all the antlers, keeping one for himself to eat.

Deer were more expensive than wild boars, especially the antlers. Zhou Chen earned another fifteen taels of silver.

After returning home, Zhou Chen continued to stay at home and “work hard.”

Qin Hong Yu was also very satisfied with this, but she was a little overwhelmed.

She felt that Zhou Chen had not only grown stronger, but other parts of him had grown even more.

Zhou Chen was originally eighteen years old, but she felt that he had grown to twenty-two.

“Brother Chen, have you been secretly using your Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand to massage yourself?”

“Nonsense! I’m only eighteen, still growing. This is normal secondary development!”

Zhou Chen spoke righteously, and what he said was also true.

Although Zhou Chen only went hunting once every ten days or so, he always returned with a full load.

Now the family savings had exceeded twenty taels of silver.

To be precise, it was twenty-four taels.

They were considered wealthy in the village.

Zhou Chen was waiting, waiting for his breakthrough to go to Qing He City.

Firstly, only in the city could he find good bows.

Secondly, he also wanted to learn more about this world.

He had to go to the city.

The villagers were isolated and didn’t know much about the outside world. Often, they died without even knowing how.

Another twenty days passed in a flash.

During this time, Zhou Chen went hunting again, still targeting sika deer, and earned another fifteen taels of silver.

The weather gradually turned colder, and a layer of frost condensed on the grass and leaves by the roadside.

In the warm room.

Zhou Chen looked at Qin Hong Yu, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, her rosy face bearing a few happy tear stains.

He didn’t disturb her, quietly getting out of bed, his eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.
