It has been three days since I came out. When I looked up, I saw the vast expanse of white.
Claude sighed, stamped his feet, and made a hole in the frozen snow. After thinking about it, he decided to go back. He shouldn't have come to this Kermida Swamp. I originally thought that I could easily hunt a few Niros crocodiles at this time, but I forgot that in such a cold weather, even if there were Niros crocodiles, they could not come out of the swamp.
You should check out the habits of Niros crocodiles. I wonder if they also hide and hibernate. He went to the Kermida Swamp so rashly to hunt down a few crocodiles and sell them for money, but in the end his trip was in vain. He wandered here for three days and didn't even find a ghost.
He patted the black horse Jamie on his back. The black horse Jamie snorted and lowered his long horse face to rub a few times on the leather hat Claude was wearing. This was his way of showing intimacy.
"Okay, let's go back. It's hard work for you to travel such a long distance this time." Claude climbed onto the sled, pulled the reins and turned the horse's head. He shouted at the black horse Jamie and pulled the sled towards White Deer Town. .
The wind was biting, but luckily it didn't snow, the weather was sunny, and occasionally the sun shone on the earth. It's already mid-February, and in about ten days the snow all over the mountains and fields will thaw. By then, the mountains and fields will be muddy, and streams formed by the snow will flow everywhere. But that also means the arrival of spring, the revival of trees, and the mountains, forests and fields will soon be covered in green.
But it's not easy to hunt in spring. After a winter, the fur of the animals is withered and dull, and they are so skinny from hunger that even if they are hunted, they cannot be sold at a high price. Therefore, spring is not the season for hunting. It is best to go from late autumn to before winter. In order to survive the winter, both carnivores and herbivores need to eat fat and strong, with shiny fur. The prey caught at that time could be sold at a good price.
Claude felt a little miserable. As a time-traveler, he had to rely on hunting to earn money to buy magic materials for alchemy magic experiments. Is there any time-traveler more embarrassed than himself? It's a pity that there is no other way. Who asked him to time-travel to this alien world? The world is still a society that is very taboo against magic, so that if you want to learn magic, you have to do it secretly.
Claude didn't want to mention the bad things at home anymore. When his father returned home, it was up to him to make the decision. Although he had lost his official position, Mr. Morsan was still very busy, and I didn't know what he was busy with. But when he came home occasionally, Claude always felt that his father had changed a lot. At home, Mr. Morsant rarely spoke, he just kept smoking his pipe and hiding his face behind the smoke.
My mother is in good health and is still responsible for the kitchen and housework. She also takes care of her younger brother Booker and Snow Dog. My younger sister Anna has already started the first grade of junior high school and goes to school happily every day. As for Albert, he was still the same as before. He went home to sleep and eat every day, treating his home like a hotel. It is said that he returned to Sir Fox as his personal secretary, and when he returned home he used sweet words to please his parents.
Claude resumed his daily work at the forest farm and visited his home every few days. Several times he wanted to discuss with his father how much money he spent on his family after he was arrested, but he couldn't speak out every time. He really couldn't open his mouth. Claude felt that if he asked his father for a debt, he would become the same scum like Albert. It was all for his family, so just spend the money. At worst, he would think of ways to earn more.
It's just that Claude didn't expect that in the next half month or so, he wouldn't hunt any valuable prey at all. The biggest prey was just a lame old mountain wolf. There were many scars on the fur and it couldn't be sold at a high price. So he threw it away. Only one silver thaler was sold in the open-air market.
Vericro had come to the forest farm once, when he accompanied his father, Uncle Kubelik, back from hunting in Bailuzhou and brought an antelope hind leg to Claude. After eating and drinking at the cabin, Viriclo listened to Claude talk about his hunting experience, and told Claude with a smile that if you want to hunt good prey at this time of year, you can only go deep into the mountains and old forests to encounter wild beasts and deer. group. Just wandering around the mountains and forests around Bailu Town, unless you are very lucky, you will not find any big prey.
However, Verricro warned Claude very seriously not to wander into the depths of the mountain alone. In fact, ferocious beasts are not a big threat to people. What they fear most is being unfamiliar with the terrain and surrounding environment, and getting lost in those mountains and forests. Moreover, it is now covered with heavy snow, and it is impossible to accurately identify the conditions under the snow.
