"Uncle Liu, aren't you afraid that I have a loan and no repayment? If I make a loss, I will have nothing." Xia Qianqian said with a smile.

"I'm not afraid of this. With your ability, you will definitely succeed. It's just that I can only get two taels of silver..." Uncle Liu was also quite embarrassed.

The peasants are real, but they don't have enough money, and they don't know how long they will save two taels of silver. Xia Qianqian could only take Liu Bo's heart, but not his money.

"Thank you Uncle Liu, I still have some money in my hand. I'll tell you when I'm not enough."

"Are you still going hunting?" Uncle Liu asked worriedly.

"Well. Don't let my mother know about this, for fear of her worrying."

Uncle Liu sighed and said, "In this way, I will accompany you tomorrow. It's New Year's Eve, and I don't have any meat to eat at home."

"That's great, Uncle Liu, you have experience." Xia Qianqian smiled and the corners of her eyes were wet. Where is Uncle Liu's lack of meat at home? Is it intentional to accompany her into the mountains.

…………

The next day, Xia Qianqian got up early and baked a few cakes to eat on the road. Liu Bo brought a machete and a bow and crossbow, and the two entered the mountain together.

There is a mountain not far behind Yangliu Village, and now it is a vast expanse of color. Trees with fallen leaves stand on the white snow. Compared with the three seasons of spring, autumn and summer, the sight in the mountains in winter is better, and it is easier to find prey. Moreover, there are few people hunting in the mountains, so there is no need to worry about the prey being robbed.

"Uncle Liu, hasn't your son returned from work yet?" Xia Qianqian was looking for topics to chat while walking.

"I haven't come back for two years, sigh, your aunt is thinking about Baoshan, but there is no way. Baoshan is 19 years old this year. If you don't make money and marry a wife, you will be old." Liu Bo said.

"Pfft!" Xia Qianqian burst out with a smile, "Uncle Liu, how come you are old at nineteen?"

"Get married first, then start a career. This is the rule of the ancestors. However, the family is poor, and the girl Baoshan likes is very demanding. Alas! I hope to save enough money for the bride price next year."

"How much is the bride price for the girl's family?"

"Five or two."

Xia Qianqian's mood was extremely complicated. Five taels of silver would make it impossible for a person to marry a wife. For the squires and nobles, five taels of silver would only cost a meal.

"Uncle Liu, if we can catch a tiger or wild boar today, your son's dowry money will be secured."

"Tiger..." Uncle Liu trembled in fear, "Don't let us meet."

Xia Qianqian laughed: "I'm just kidding, the tigers are hibernating in the winter."

Uncle Liu looked at Xia Qianqian strangely: "Tigers don't hibernate."

Xia Qianqian: "..."

Don't animals hibernate in winter? That's why she thought of going into the mountains to hunt. If this encounters a tiger... Xia Qianqian shivered, oh my god, it's not certain who hunts who!

"It will come out for food in winter. But don't be afraid, there has never been a tiger in our mountains."

"Oh……"

Xia Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and continued onward. Soon, the two officially entered the mountain and began to look around for their prey.

The snow is vast, where are the animals coming out? A few pheasants flew by, but when Xia Qianqian reacted and prepared to shoot the crossbow, the pheasants had already flown far away.

"Don't be discouraged, pheasants are worthless, let's go to the rabbit hole, one nest at a time!" Liu Bo smiled.

However, with snow everywhere, how to find the rabbit hole?

Liu Bo pointed to the front left and whispered, "See? The rabbit left footprints."

Xia Qianqian took a closer look and saw that there were indeed a small string of footprints on the snow, which had not yet been covered by snow, indicating that the rabbit had been active not long ago. She got excited: "Rabbit!"
