This was much better than following them into the mountains.

They had followed him into the mountain, but they were worried that they would miss out. Now, they worked for him while he hunted.

The money from selling half of the hunt was shared equally among them, which was more than the salary they received from working in the government office.

“Is this a silly roe deer?” Wen Yu reached out and touched it.

This was the first time he had seen the animal.

“It’s rare,” He said to Heng Yi, “Let’s sell it while it’s still alive.”

Then, they realized that Heng Yi rarely hunted dead animals.

He caught wild chickens, wild rabbits, and so on, but one thing they all had in common; they were all still alive.

Even if he hunts down bigger prey, he rarely kills them.

Killing them was one thing, but Heng Yi caught them all alive. T hat displays a hunter’s true ability.

Heng Yi grunted and went to wash up. He drank a mouthful of hot tea and a bowl of hot noodle soup, then told Bai Cha to bring the prey to Old Master Meng.

The Meng family was rich, and Old Master Meng s price was fair.

He stayed behind to work.

Then, Constable w.a.n.g and Constable Qin had a new understanding of Heng Yi.

They had to work together to flip the rocks.

Heng Yi silently squatted down, then flipped the stone over and rolled it into the hole.

“It seems very easy,” Wen Yu muttered.

He went forward to try.

He couldn’t even move one of them.

He used all his strength, but the stone did not move at all.

He rubbed his nose.

Then he turned to his comrades with a helpless yet graceful smile.

Everyone walked over and patted his shoulder.

“Thank you for letting us know that not everyone is as strong as Heng Yi.”

“Thank you.”

Wen Yu was furious.

He chased after Gu Jiu, who had patted him on the shoulder. Then, with a step, Gu Jiu fell to the ground, covered in mud.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Heng Yi laughed as well.

He bent down and continued working.

The sky turned dark early, so they packed up and headed back to the city.

When they arrived at the city gate, Dong Lai immediately came to greet them, “Master, Madam instructed me to wait here. She said that she would like to invite all of you to the residence for dinner. The food has already been prepared.”

Everyone had been thinking about Heng Yi’s food for a long time.

Ever since the last meal, it still lingered in their minds.

Everyone said that they were embarra.s.sed to make the Madam wait and wished they could walk faster.

When they arrived at Heng Manor, Han Qiao stood at the entrance, waiting for them.

“Sister-in-law looks even more beautiful today.”

Han Qiao laughed and told everyone to hurry and wash up.

“Heng Yi is so lucky.”

Heng Yi calmly stepped forward and supported Han Qiao.

No matter how stupid everyone was, they understood.

They all glanced at Han Qiao’s belly and congratulated Heng Yi.

As constables, their observation skills were better than ordinary people.

Heng Yi nodded, “Thank you.”

Today’s dishes were different from last time, the main ingredient being bamboo shoots in most of their dishes.

And it looked even more extravagant than before.

Originally, there were supposed to be two tables, but Han Qiao thought that there was no reason to differentiate them, so she squeezed and sat with them.

They ate, drank, and chatted long into the night.

At first, they traversed into more serious topics, but as time went on, the conversation became more and more obscene.

Bai Cha then arrived from delivering some prey to Old Master Meng’s place. The older man gave him a hundred taels for the roe deers, and Heng Yi immediately took out fifty taels and distributed them to everyone.

This was definitely better than working in the government office.

If they could earn so much in a day… They would be rich if they worked like this every day for a month!

With that thought, they looked at Heng Yi even more fervently.

However, if it weren’t for their work in the government office, it was impossible for them to be hunters in the first place.

The job paid them a lot of money.

Of course, this kind of extra income also made them feel like a pie had fallen from the sky.

“I won’t go to the manor tomorrow. There will be guests coming,” Heng Yi said.

In other words, they didn’t need to come over.

“It’s okay. We’ll still go to work tomorrow. You don’t have to think that you’re taking advantage of us,” Constable Qin patted Heng Yi’s shoulder.

Constable w.a.n.g also added, “What’s the big deal about doing some work? You just have to do what you need to do. Well go over and do our own work. You just need to take care of lunch. It doesn’t have to be as sumptuous as today. It’s enough as long as we can fill our stomachs.”

It is easy to go from being thrifty to extravagant, but it couldn’t be said the same for the other way around.

Constable w.a.n.g was a lit tie afraid that he would not be able to eat the food at home after eating so well outside.

The others also nodded.

Heng Yi nodded, “Thank you.”

He had always been a man of few words. Now, he was trying his best to learn how to speak and behave. However, at his core, he was still a man of few words.

He could do things, but it was hard for him to freely express himself through speech.

He was not that kind of person by nature.

After eating, Han Qiao brought a big bowl of braised bamboo shoots for everyone.

When Heng Yi sent everyone out, Constable Qin said, “Let’s work now. You don’t have to give us any money to hunt in the mountains. If we do, we’re only taking advantage of you…”

And when you take advantage of someone’s kindness, you’ll only burden yourself at the end of the day.

Besides, what should he do if he gets used to this treatment?

“Do what you have to do,” Heng Yi said.

“Then don’t give us money. We’ll talk about it after the first month.”

“If you need to work, just give us a shout. We might not have a lot, but we have the strength to work.”

A relations.h.i.+p was built through interaction. Only when everyone knew each other and felt that it was okay could they be friends.

Friends shouldn’t always take advantage of each other. They should also give something in return.

There were rules to being friends.

Of course, Heng Yi had given them so much just because he had casually raised his hand. T’o them, it was like sending charcoal in the snow.

It wasn’t easy to make a living in the county and earn money for the whole family.

After sending everyone off, Heng Yi went back to his room to take a bath.

He had wanted to give Bai Cha money, but Bai Cha did not want it. He said that he would save it for him to marry a wife in the future.

However, the problem was Bai Cha would not be able to get married and have children until he became a good citizen.

Heng Yi came out of the shower and told Han Qiao what Constable Qin and the others had said. Han Qiao smiled as she a.n.a.lyzed the situation.

“They seemed to be attentive men. They want this money, but their dignity makes them unable to ask you for money without doing anything in return. Since they said that they wouldn’t need money to work in the first month, then go into the mountains and hunt wild boars, rabbits, and so on, and share the meat with them to bring home.”

“Okay.”

Heng Yi felt that this was good.

Sometimes, he still had to give something, and he could exchange the silver for other things.

Hunting wild boars was easy for Heng Yi, but pork was a luxury for many people.

Many families did not even get to eat meat once a month.

There were very few people like Han Qiao who could eat big fish and meat with meat and vegetables almost every day.

Rich families also had their own troubles.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the Han family was coming to pay a New Year visit. Dried fruits and candied fruits were placed on the table early in the morning, filling the plates with everything. There was a festive atmosphere everywhere.

The smart people of the Han family set off at dawn. They walked, while the children took turns riding rhe ox cart or the adults carried them.

Fortunately, the weather was good these past two days and the road was clean. Otherwise, there would be mud everywhere.

Grandpa and Grandma had been looking forward to this day for a long time…
