I'm the master of my life

Chapter 209 Hunter in a World of Female Domination 4

Although it only takes half an hour to walk to the town, the town is so small that the tiger cannot be sold at a high price. If she had enough time or was alone, she would have wanted to sell it directly to the capital.

Lanxi drove for more than an hour and arrived at the gate of the county town, where he was stopped by soldiers: "What's on the car? It's covered so tightly." After saying that, he directly lifted the oilcloth.

"Ah! Tiger! There's a tiger!" The people around were so frightened that they ran away. The soldiers who had no choice but to lift the tarpaulin were so frightened that their legs were trembling, and the tarpaulin had already fallen to the ground.

Lanxi flicked the whip of the cattle driver, rolled up a corner of the oilcloth on the ground, dragged it back, and then swung it, and the whole thing fell directly on the tiger, but this time it was not covered tightly, and the tiger's head and feet were exposed.

"The connection has been checked, right? Can I enter the city?" Lan Xi said as he took out 20 copper coins and handed them over. The entrance fee for two gates per person was only 6 copper coins, plus the 4 copper coins for the ox cart, the rest was a bribe for the officers and soldiers.

"Sure, I didn't expect you to be so capable! You can even kill a tiger." After that, she moved closer to Lanxi and whispered, "Sister, the Liu Mansion in East City is going to entertain guests. If you send this tiger to the Liu Mansion, it will definitely sell for a good price."

The soldier had seen a lot of things, and had come to her senses by now. Seeing that Lanxi had given her a way out, she naturally went down the steps. Moreover, she saw that Lanxi was a capable man who could even kill a tiger, so she gave him some advice.

"Thanks, sister. This tiger sold it for a good price. Next time I'll treat you to roe deer meat." Lan Xi climbed up the pole and built up a good relationship.

"Okay, my last name is Zhu. If I'm not here, please ask my fellow soldiers. I'll treat you to a drink then."

"Okay, Sister Zhu, you are busy, I will take my leave now."

Lanxi drove the ox cart far away, and Xie Chen said with relief: "Good, good, Sister Xi has grown up and can take care of herself. If your father knew, he would be relieved." Although the soldier surnamed Zhu spoke in a low voice, she was next to Lanxi and still heard it.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and Xie Chen was immersed in joy. Lan Xi didn't know what to say, and Xie Shan was just afraid that what she said would make her mother sad.

Finally, it was Lanxi who changed the subject and said, "Aunt, please cover the tiger well. You can find a place to wait for me. I will go and find out whether the Liu Mansion is really going to entertain guests."

"Okay, we need to find out first."

Just as Lanxi was about to find a place to park, he was suddenly blocked by a group of people. Lanxi hurriedly pulled the reins and barely stopped the ox cart.

Lanxi said angrily: "What are you doing? You deliberately crashed into my ox cart, are you trying to blackmail me?"

"No, no, you misunderstood. I heard that a girl had killed a tiger, so I came to take a look. Dear girl, I am the housekeeper of the Wang family in Nancheng. I will buy this tiger for 100 taels."

"Hey, isn't this Butler Wang? Is the Wang family going to collapse? A tiger can only afford 100 taels of silver." At this time, a voice interrupted and started with sarcasm.

After mocking the housekeeper of the Wang family, he immediately changed his expression and said with a smile: "Lady, I am the housekeeper of the Zhang family in Nancheng. Our Zhang family offers 200 taels to buy this tiger."

"I am the shopkeeper of Huichuntang. The tiger is a good thing. I will give you three hundred taels of silver."

"Girl, I am the owner of Renhetang. We can offer a higher price. We will buy this tiger for 350 taels of silver."

Lanxi watched as the noise of scrambling died down. After hitting 350 taels, everyone started to increase the price by 10 taels. It seemed that they had almost reached their limit. In this way, they could only sell it for 10 taels at most. Next, they just had to wait for the tallest person under the tree.

"Wait, girl, I'm the housekeeper of the Liu family in Dongcheng. I'll offer 500 taels of silver to buy this tiger." Just then another voice interrupted, and directly raised the price by more than 100 taels.

When the others saw that the Liu family had already offered a high price, they all gave up. The price of this tiger in the county was at most 300 taels. Because tigers were rare, they had raised the price slightly. They did not expect the Liu family to directly offer a price, so they naturally gave up.

The housekeeper of the Liu Mansion did not find anyone to bid, so he took out some silver notes and handed them to Lanxi, saying, "Girl, this is 500 taels of silver notes, please count them."

Lanxi didn't pretend to say that she didn't need to count and trusted Butler Liu. However, looking at the butler of the Liu Mansion, he seemed determined to win. It seemed that he really wanted to receive the distinguished guest. I wonder if there will be any more transactions in the future. She took the banknote generously! After counting it, she said, "The number is correct. Butler Liu wants us to send it home for you."

"That's not necessary. We came here by carriage." Butler Liu refused.

"Well, is your horse afraid of tigers?" Lanxi thought of his own big yellow cattle and how irritable it would be when it saw a tiger, so he asked.

Housekeeper Liu said, seemingly understanding: "They would definitely be afraid of a living tiger, but they wouldn't be afraid of a dead tiger, right?" Her tone sounded a little uncertain, but seeing that the ox wasn't afraid, the horse at home shouldn't be afraid either!

"Well, we will also lend a hand and help you carry it to the carriage."

Butler Liu said, "Okay, Ah Fu, bring the carriage over." The girl named Ah Fu beside him responded and went to bring the horse over.

But no matter how hard they pulled, the horse just wouldn't come over here. Seeing this, Butler Liu said in surprise: "I didn't expect that a dead tiger could still scare a horse."

"This is very normal. Just like in the mountains, animals have their own territories, and they mark their territories with feces and urine."

"Then why isn't your cow afraid?" Ah Fu, who had already given up on leading the horse over, asked in confusion.

"My cows are all trained."

"Did you train it?" Butler Liu was also curious.

"Yes! I am a hunter, and sometimes I always catch some ferocious prey, such as wild boars, wolves and the like. I can't carry them all out and sell them by myself, so I naturally have to use a bullock cart."

"Is that so? Then I'll have to trouble you, young lady, to help deliver this tiger to Liu's house."

"No problem, it's just a few more steps."

The horse didn't even need anyone to call it, it just pulled the carriage in front and ran very fast, and the ox cart followed slowly behind. All the way to the back door of Liu's house, the three of them helped carry the tiger inside.

When Butler Liu escorted them out, he said, "During this period, there are distinguished guests in the mansion. If you catch any more prey, just send it to us. This is a reward from the master."
