Chapter 4
Tuition Fees
"Xuan'er..."
"Auntie?" Duan Xuan quickly pulled Duan Xin into the house.
The snow was falling heavily, and Duan Xin's head was covered with a thick layer of snow, indicating that he had been standing outside the door for some time.
Duan Xin shook his head, brushed the snow off, chuckled, and walked inside.
Even though it was only afternoon, the room was pitch black.
Only a sliver of light could be seen in the wall with the hole in it.
There was no strange smell in the room, but there was also no familiar smell.
The place was filled with pots and pans, a small cabinet, and drafty doors and windows.
The ground was muddy and covered in rain and snow.
Duan Xin quickly ran to the rice bin.
"Little Aunt..."
Duan Xuan called out, and when Duan Xin turned around, her eyes were already red.
"Sister-in-law Duan Xin, come in and sit down." Zhou Fang called out and sat up.
Of all the old man's family, only this girl truly has a conscience.
In the past, Duan Jian would often share his hunted prey with Duan Xin.
It wasn't that Duan Xin was ostracized by the old man; quite the opposite, she was born to him late in life.
It was treated like a precious gem and held in its hands.
Unfortunately, my second uncle's family was too domineering, especially that chubby little Duan Xu, who could eat and drink a lot.
And because he is a grandson, the old man's love naturally leans more towards him.
But whenever Zhou Fang sees Duan Xin, she always feels that her husband has not spoiled his sister-in-law for nothing.
Duan Xin blinked hard, but no tears fell. Instead, she smiled deeply and then took out a cloth bag from her clothes.
"Don't think it's too little. This is all your aunt can do for you. There's also some money your grandma has secretly saved up over the years."
Do whatever you want. Your aunt has always thought you're no worse than Duan Xu; the old man was wrong.
Don't be so mushy, and avoid saying things like "thank you."
Your grandma feels guilty towards your family. My older brother hasn't been back for three years, and I miss him a lot. I'm leaving now!
Her clear voice and beautiful face were nothing like those of a girl raised in Shetougou.
Duan Xuan handed the small purse to his mother and hurriedly chased after her.
The wind and snow lashed my face like sand, stinging intensely.
The journey from the old district to the new district took more than 30 minutes, but Duan Xin was only wearing a thin cotton-padded coat.
(Please remember the website 101k.k for the fastest chapter updates)
Duan Xuan naturally felt his aunt's sincerity.
They escorted him all the way to the border between the new and old districts, making sure that none of the ruthless thugs from Wolf Village were lying in ambush nearby, before Duan Xuan finally left with peace of mind.
"Go for it, Xuan'er!"
They had already walked quite a distance when Duan Xuan turned around and saw that snow-white figure standing with its arms outstretched like a trumpet.
He shouted it over and over again, then jumped and waved before disappearing into the snow.
Soon, Shetougou was buried by heavy snow, and the visibility was far worse than normal due to the hazy fog.
If it weren't for the numerous potholes and uneven terrain, it would be easy to get lost in this heavy snow.
After waiting for ten minutes at the east end of the village, my two childhood friends finally arrived.
"Brother Duan, I can't go hunting rabbits with you in the mountains today."
My dad and sister caught a cold yesterday and need someone to take care of them!
Zhao Rui took out a square wrapped in oil paper from the bag where he kept his knife: "One of these fried candies for you and one for Chunmei."
"Take this to eat. My relative, an official in the county town, gave it to me last night. I'm going back now!"
Liu Chunmei coughed a few times, and her voice, already timid, was even weaker now: "Brother Duan."
I'm afraid I won't be able to go today either.
Yesterday, the cold wind chilled me to the bone, and I caught a cold.
In a few days, Father will send me to the Wang family to work as a lowly maid. I need to recover from my illness, otherwise Father will deduct my pay.
Duan Xuan nodded to his two childhood friends, and the three exchanged a few pleasantries.
The two went their separate ways, leaving only Duan Xuan to climb the mountain through the ankle-deep snow.
Shetougou is a village nestled in a valley amidst numerous mountains.
To get into the deep mountains, you have to climb a particularly steep path.
One must carefully avoid the area designated by the wolf stronghold, otherwise one will certainly be extorted or face death.
After walking for two hours and surveying the terrain, Duan Xuan untied the rope binding him.
Remove the trap that was set up in advance behind them.
Arrange them one by one in an open space, and then scatter some old grains on top.
Sparrows hiding everywhere, or rabbits in mountain caves.
When people are desperately hungry, they will take risks.
……
As darkness fell, the heavy snow continued to fall.
Duan Xuan knew he couldn't stay in the deep mountains any longer; otherwise, once it got completely dark, he wouldn't be able to see anything and it would be difficult to get home.
Today's harvest was poor; there were only two sparrows.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all the vital organs. I can make some soup for my mother when I get back, and she can eat it for three to five days.
"The heavy snow has blocked the mountain pass; it will be difficult to get in for at least five days. Should we try to catch them again...?"
Suddenly, a hurried footstep came from down the hillside, followed by a series of hurried footsteps.
Duan Xuan didn't dare to delay. He grabbed the trap and stuffed it into the thick snow, then sheepishly lay flat on the ground.
By the time the footsteps drew closer, the snow had already covered his entire body.
The first person was seen clutching his arm, blood dripping from his sleeve onto the ground.
He glanced behind him in horror and could only run forward with all his might.
call out!
An arrow pierced through the snow and stabbed him hard in the shoulder.
The man could no longer stand, and his body lost its strength.
He rolled down the hillside to the north.
"We need to see them alive or dead. Do those guys from Snake Village really think we Wolf Village are pushovers?"
"Hmph! Today we'll wipe them all out, leave no one alive!"
Duan Xuan dared not make the slightest sound until the remnants of the Snake Stronghold and the people of the Wolf Stronghold had disappeared from his sight for a long time.
He dared to move his hands and feet, and when he looked up, he saw a small bandage soaked in blood lying on the snow, cut open by blood.
It was bulging inside; you could tell without even thinking that it was full of loose silver.
Duan Xuan's throat bobbed, and he crawled toward the cloth bag, just as he was about to pick it up.
He plunged both hands into the snowdrift and grabbed two makeshift traps and two frozen sparrows.
He took off running without looking back.
Duan Xuan had his own principles, and he knew very well that he shouldn't pick up this kind of thing.
A few taels of silver would be enough for him to pay his tuition at his preferred martial arts school, but that's not a safe bet.
A poor boy who couldn't even afford to offer sacrifices to the mountain god.
Suddenly, they had money to become apprentices, and the remnants of the Snake Village had just lost some money.
Is this reasonable?
That's clearly unreasonable.
Whether it was the Snake Village that was ultimately destroyed or the Wolf Village that was currently enjoying great power.
They'll all trace it back to Duan Xuan, and then things will get really messy.
Resisting temptation and avoiding greed is often the best policy!
They ran wildly for who knows how long, and their straw sandals were worn with a big hole.
Duan Xuan then stopped, panting heavily.
Looking back, he saw no gang members following him and was finally relieved.
After winding around Shetougou four or five times, it accelerated and sped into the house.
Humanity rewards diligence, and Heaven rewards those who help themselves.
[Trap: Minor Success (7+2/100)]
Hunting: Beginner (12/50)
"Xuan'er, you're back. Why are you in such a panic?" Zhou Fang heard her son panting as he entered the room and guessed that something must have happened, so she quickly asked with concern.
"Mother, I'm fine. I just encountered a gang fight on my way down the mountain, and they didn't see me."
Hmm... I didn't get a chance to see it.
"That's good, that's good."
The world is very unsafe these days, and even the gangs formed by local bandits are constantly changing.
Snake Village was the largest power in Snake Head Gully before Wolf Village rose to prominence.
It didn't take long to wipe out the people of Snake Village, and now they've eliminated the last remnants.
The entire Snakehead Gully has been swallowed up by Wolf Village.
After dinner, Duan Xuan and his mother sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), and Duan Xuan carefully took out the purse given to him by his aunt Duan Xin.
Upon opening it, there were three taels of loose silver inside. It was truly remarkable that my aunt and grandmother could produce so much silver.
Duan Xuan kept this kindness deep in his heart.
With just three taels of silver, he could get deer every day and have his mother weave the pelts.
It will take at least two months to save up, and ten days later will be the day when various martial arts schools recruit new members.
There's only one chance a year; if you miss it, you'll have to wait another year.
Duan Xin's aunt was a great help.
"Xuan'er, is there enough money for her to join the martial arts school?"
Duan Xuan shook his head: "It's still a little short, Mother, don't worry, I can handle it."
Unfortunately, fate played a trick on us. For the next nine days, although the heavy snow stopped, the mountain roads became difficult to traverse.
The wild animals had all disappeared, and Duan Xuan only managed to catch one rabbit and three sparrows.
Let alone selling the hides, this was barely enough to fill his and Zhou Fang's stomachs.
With only one day left until he was to become an apprentice, Duan Xuan decided to go up the mountain again that night. This time, he set up a total of thirty traps.
With the help of his cheat code, the traps he created became increasingly sophisticated.
At first, it could only trap a small domestic dog, but now it can easily injure a sika deer.
Unfortunately, due to a lack of raw materials, they could only injure the sika deer, but could not completely disable it.
But if there are enough of them, the sika deer will eventually be exhausted and die.
After waiting for a long time, a cold wind howled and rose, like a python devouring the sky and tearing the earth, the hissing sound making Duan Xuan's scalp tingle.
It was so dark that nothing could be seen.
Duan Xuan took a deep breath, but good luck still hadn't come his way.
Left with no other choice, I could only sigh and leave.
However, he didn't take any traps with him this time. After marking the exact locations, he planned to come back and check again tomorrow morning.
Who knows, there might be some other gains.
At worst, we can just send these mountain products directly to the martial arts school; that will offset some of the tuition fees.
"Brother Duan!"
Just before he arrived home, two familiar voices brightened Duan Xuan's sullen eyes.
"You're really risking your life for money. You haven't even caught a bird while your brothers' been gone these past few days, have you?" Zhao Rui patted Duan Xuan on the shoulder, feigning contempt.
"Is Chunmei's cold better? Are Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao alright too?" Duan Xuan asked.
The two nodded. Chunmei's eyes held a hint of reluctance, a hint of grievance, and even more so, a sense of fear and unease.
Zhao Rui remained the same, straightforward and without a trace of fear in his eyes, only a yearning for the unknown.
"I originally planned to go hunting with you this afternoon, but Chunmei and I both have to pack our things."
We're leaving tomorrow.
Fortunately, my official relative is here, so when Chunmei is sent to the Wang family, I can give her some instructions to prevent her from being mistreated.
But I was worried about you, kid. What would I do without you? So we discussed it and decided to come!"
"But Brother Duan, you weren't here either, so we could only wait for you for a while. Luckily, you came back in time."
Liu Chunmei's eyes darted away: "I've been made a lowly maid for someone, and I don't know when I'll see them again."
I'm so scared, I'm afraid I'll never see you again.
I really can't bear to part with you two!
"What's there to be reluctant about? Maybe one day you'll become the manager of the Wang family and rise to a high position."
When we see you, we must respectfully address you as Manager Liu!
Zhao Rui joked, "Since you're going to become an apprentice, have you chosen a martial arts school yet? Don't tell me you'll just grab anyone and become their apprentice!"
Duan Xuan nodded: "I've chosen the Poshan Martial Arts School outside Huangshe County. The disciples there are young, and the tuition fees are cheap."
The old craftsman was said to be a former outlaw, and besides, the outer town of Huangshe County wasn't far from the village, making it convenient to travel back and forth.
"Don't exhaust yourself. I'm too lazy to waste time with all that sweet talk with you. Here!"
Liu Chunmei, who was standing next to her, also took something out of her sleeve.
The handkerchief was wrapped in three layers, and the movements were slow and careful.
"What are you doing...?"
"Does practicing martial arts cost nothing? You don't think you can just offer a bowl of wine, kowtow twice, say a few kind words, and give the master of that martial arts school a few wild rabbits."
So, I'll let you stay at the martial arts school?
"Of course, it's tuition!"
"Brother Duan, there's nothing we can do to help you."
But we've been friends since we were kids, and we promised to share both good times and bad.
Learning martial arts is difficult, but whatever you do, Brother Zhao and I will support you.
If you have time in the future, remember to visit Chunmei at the Wang family home. Chunmei misses you all very much.
"When you get to the martial arts school, be ruthless and clever, and don't let others bully you."
Nothing is more grueling than practicing martial arts.
Alright, it's time to go!
Zhao Rui walked forward with his hands behind his back.
Liu Chunmei turned back every three steps, tears welling in her eyes.
Soon, the merciless beast of night swallowed up the two figures.
Duan Xuan clutched a cloth bag and a wad of loose silver tightly: "Brother Zhao, Sister Chun, thank you!"
"Auntie?" Duan Xuan quickly pulled Duan Xin into the house.
The snow was falling heavily, and Duan Xin's head was covered with a thick layer of snow, indicating that he had been standing outside the door for some time.
Duan Xin shook his head, brushed the snow off, chuckled, and walked inside.
