He might be a hunter, but he lived in the town, rarely venturing into the mountains, yet his life was nonetheless comfortable. His daily meat supply was provided by Song Chongjin, and not a single meal went by without alcohol.
In particular, though Hunter Qin was indeed a hunter, he seldom interacted with his neighbors. Instead, he had quite a friendship with the owner of the neighboring bookstore. The two households were neighbors with interconnected yards, practically like one big family.
The bookstore owner often carried himself with an air of superiority. When he first met Song Chongjin, he mocked him for being a stubborn, uncultivated country bumpkin who couldn't even recognize characters.
After seeing more of him, the owner disdained Song Chongjin for being illiterate and embarrassing Hunter Qin. He threw a few books his way, like "Hundred Family Surnames" and "Thousand Character Classic," and taught Song Chongjin to read.
