My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Chapter 4 - 4 Tax Collection

Chen Sansi excitedly ran over, picked up the rabbit from the ground, and weighed it a few times, estimating it to be around seven or eight jins in weight.

"Based on the current market price, this could sell for at least sixty copper coins!"

He wasn't in a rush to descend the mountain; instead, he securely bound the rabbit with a rope and hung it on his body, continuing to

After a satisfying meal, he sat on the edge of the bed, pulling Sister Lan to sit beside him; she lowered her head, her face flushed, fingers nervously intertwined.

Today marked their first day of marriage.

Under the flickering candlelight, Chen Sansi took his time to carefully observe Sister Lan's pretty face for the first time.

Her fine arched eyebrows were charming, apricot eyes reflecting the candlelight as if autumn waters mirrored the moon, her slightly flushed cheeks resembled peach blossoms—she radiated an irresistible charm all over.

And on top of that, she could read and was skilled in embroidery—if it weren't for the coarse hemp clothes she wore, she would be a perfect young lady from a reputable family.

"Sister Lan."

Chen Sansi unconsciously drew closer.

"What's wrong, Brother Shi?"

"You smell so good."

"Brother Shi, I... I still hurt."

...

Late at night.

Chen Sansi leaned against the bed head, his arm still being tightly clung to.

"Brother Shi~"

Gu Xinlan looked worried, "Did we offend that Qin Xiong?"

"Qin Xiong?"

"Mhm."

Gu Xinlan nodded, "I heard from the neighbors that Mr. Qin had been lingering at our doorstep for quite a while during the day."

"Mhm."

Gu Xinlan was already exhausted and quickly fell asleep.

These last few days, she somehow felt at ease.

Chen Sansi leaned against the bed head and noticed a leftover old book at the bedside that hadn't been sold, so he picked it up and flipped through it.

[Skill: Reading (Entry-Level)]

[Progress: (15/300)]

[Utility: Spirit refreshed, photographic memory]

"Not bad at all."

While hunting during the day, when he realized the skill [Tracking] he wondered, could reading work too?

It turned out he wasn't wrong.

Not only that, but he had reached entry-level right away.

Looking at how the original body had accumulated knowledge, how come he never managed to become a Scholar?

Holding the book in hand, Chen Sansi estimated that if he were to take the civil service exam, he would surely pass.

Unfortunately, the next exam wasn't for another two years, too long to wait.

First, he needed to survive.

After browsing the book for a while, Chen Sansi also fell into a deep sleep.

"Thud, thud, thud—"

"Open up!"

"Open the door quickly!"

The next morning.

Chen Sansi was awakened by the urgent knocking.

He told Sister Lan to dress and hide in the inner room, then he got up to open the door.
