“Little brother, do you still have more of this kind of fur goods, or any other fur goods will also do?”
After the transaction was completed, the felt-hat man did not leave immediately. Although he did not know where Qiu Huang got the bear skin from, as a merchant, he trusted his instincts. He believed that Qiu Huang’s hands should not only have one bear skin.
“Do you want other fur goods?” Qiu Huang looked at the felt-hat man. In this ancient society, animal skins were very important commodities. There were specialized merchants who bought them and then sold them to those who needed them, turning them into other products.
“Yes. My name is Bu Tao. I am a fur merchant. I run a fur shop about two hundred meters from here, and I specialize in buying all kinds of fur goods.”
The felt-hat man introduced himself, clearly hoping to obtain more fur goods from Qiu Huang.
Qiu Huang said, “To be honest, I still have a few wild rabbit skins at home. If you need them, I can bring them to you another day.”
The reason he did not bring them this time was because he felt there were too few of them and they would not sell for much money. After all, the size of wild rabbits could not compare even slightly with a giant bear. Even if several skins were added together, they were still not worth much.
“Yes, yes, we need them,” Bu Tao nodded repeatedly.
“Alright, I will bring them to the town next time I come,” Qiu Huang said.
“Thank you, little brother.”
Bu Tao left satisfied.
“It seems that just by hunting, I can complete my initial primitive accumulation.”
Watching Bu Tao leave, Qiu Huang began to form a plan. For him, he would definitely not be satisfied staying in a small mountain village as a carefree man. Since he had finally transmigrated and also brought a system, if he did not make a big move, how could he justify his transmigration?
“Little money lovers, pack up. We are going to buy supplies, then go home.”
Qiu Huang urged Yan Roujun and Yan Roujiao. The twin sisters had now completely turned into little money lovers, holding the silver ingots tightly and unable to let go.
He did not say much about this. Throughout history, who does not love money? Not only the twin sisters, even he himself loved money.
“Alright, husband.”
Hearing Qiu Huang’s words, the two of them put down the silver ingots, packed up the stall, and then the three of them went to buy supplies.
“Husband, what are we going to buy this time?”
The two girls walked while looking at the dazzling array of goods around them. This small town was a hub connecting several nearby villages, and every day many people came here to sell various items.
Qiu Huang said, “Rice, flour, oil, salt, cloth, everything—we need to buy it all.”
Their family now had eleven people, and daily consumption was very large. All kinds of daily necessities had to be purchased.
After that, the three of them spent three to four hours buying supplies, purchasing everything they needed. They had spent almost all of their earnings before finally setting off on their return journey.
“Husband, here, have a bite too.”
Yan Roujun handed half-eaten candied hawthorn to Qiu Huang’s mouth. Candied hawthorn had always been the sisters’ favorite snack, but in the past, their family was too poor and their parents’ favored sons over daughters. Apart from buying them a skewer during the New Year to satisfy their craving, they could not eat it at any other time.
But now things were different. With Qiu Huang, who doted on them, each of them had been bought several skewers of candied hawthorn, fully satisfying their cravings.
Qiu Huang glanced at it and did not refuse. He bit off one hawthorn and slowly savored its sweetness, experiencing the intimacy and happiness of a couple.
After an unknown amount of time, Qiu Huang suddenly sensed something.
“Stop.”
Yan Roujun and Yan Roujiao both stopped and looked at him.
“Husband, what’s wrong?”
“There are people nearby. It seems they are coming for us.”
Upon hearing this, the two immediately became alert. They had previously heard that the road between the village and the town was not peaceful, and there were bandits who targeted passing travelers. If they found something valuable, they would rob them.
Could they have encountered bandits this time?
“Come out,” Qiu Huang said, staring at a certain direction.
Now he possessed the strength equivalent to eleven adults. This strength did not only refer to physical power, but also included speed, reaction, endurance, vision, hearing, and all other attributes.
“Haha, kid, you actually discovered us.”
Seeing that they had been exposed, the people stopped hiding and rushed out.
“Are you bandits?” Qiu Huang looked at them. There were five of them, all carrying knives.
However, these people completely ignored him. Their eyes were fixed on the supplies behind him and on the twin sisters Yan Roujun and Yan Roujiao.
“Boss, they’re twin beauties.”
The leader, a buzz-cut man, looked at the sisters up and down with a sinister smile, clearly thinking of stripping them immediately.
“Same rule as always. Kill the man, take the goods and the women back. I’ll enjoy them first, then let you all have your turn.”
The buzz-cut man held his long blade and did not take Qiu Huang seriously at all.
“Yes, boss.”
The lackeys’ eyes lit up with lust as they walked toward Qiu Huang and the others with their blades.
Seeing this, Yan Roujun and Yan Roujiao sensibly stood behind Qiu Huang, not causing trouble. They trusted their husband completely and believed he would protect them.
“Kid, you can go die now.”
One of the lackeys attacked first, swinging his blade fiercely at Qiu Huang.
But Qiu Huang’s body flashed, easily dodging the attack. Even though he was carrying one to two hundred jin of goods, it did not affect his movement at all.
After dodging, before the lackey could react, Qiu Huang threw a heavy punch straight into his chest.
“Ah!”
The lackey screamed and flew backward. The massive force shattered his chest bones, blood spilling everywhere. After struggling twice, he stopped moving—likely dead.
“What?!”
Seeing that one punch had killed a lackey instantly, the remaining four were greatly shocked. To crush a chest with a single punch—just how terrifying was this man’s strength?
“Next, it’s your turn.”
After killing one lackey, Qiu Huang looked at the others. In his eyes, they were no different from the giant bear he had encountered yesterday. Therefore, he would show no mercy.
