Zhang Yuan stayed in Linhe County for three days. During these three days, Zhang Yuan mainly accompanied his mother to adapt to the living environment in the city and familiarize herself with the situation around the Fish Lane. In addition, Zhang Yuan also bought her a batch of materials for making cloth shoes. Zhang's mother is a person who can't sit still. The day after moving to the new house, she told Zhang Yuan that she wanted to find some work to supplement the family expenses. She wanted to continue making straw shoes. This made Zhang Yuan a little bit amused. But he could fully understand his mother's thoughts. It was obviously not appropriate to make straw shoes here. You know, the straw shoes made by Zhang's mother in the village in the past were sold at the market outside the county to make a meager profit. And the people in the city all wore cloth shoes and leather boots.
Making cloth shoes is the most suitable. After buying a house, settling down, and doing the familiar work again, Zhang's mother finally settled down. And Zhang Yuan went to Qianfeng Mountain again. There was no way, his savings had been spent, and he owed a lot of debts. If the loan from the pawnshop is not repaid as soon as possible, the principal and interest will exceed the value of the house, and the pawnshop will take away the house that has just been bought. Zhang Yuan also needs more source substances to speed up the growth of the host. In addition, there is still an empty nest in the God's Nest. Finding a third host will undoubtedly greatly enhance his strength. So it is impossible to lie down! After entering the deep mountains, Zhang Yuan met with Yagui in a familiar way and came to the cliff where the mountain goat was hunted. Yagui is strictly selected and as reliable as ever. Zhang Yuan saw the mountain goats climbing on the rock wall at a glance. Without any nonsense, he used the stone throwing magic again and knocked down two big mountain goats with five stones in one breath! After dragging the spoils down, Zhang Yuan cut open the abdomen and took out the internal organs as usual, offering them to Yagui for his enjoyment. Then, Zhang Yuan returned to the rock wall and started a carpet search. This cliff is very large, the mountain is very high, and the terrain is complex with strange rocks. Since we can find a high-year rock ginseng, it is very likely to find a second and third one... Then will the dozens of taels of silver borrowed be a problem? As it is related to the plan of making money, Zhang Yuan searched very carefully and did not miss any gaps suitable for the growth of rock ginseng. As the saying goes, hard work pays off.
After searching on the steep rock wall for half an hour, he found a rock ginseng that was about 20 years old! And there was no black-horned viper guarding next to this rock ginseng. It was probably out foraging or scared away. At least 20 taels of silver! Zhang Yuan was very happy and more motivated. "Ga ga!" Just when he dug out another rock ginseng that was more than ten years old, the crow below suddenly called twice. The voice was a warning. Zhang Yuan was startled and hurried back to the bottom of the cliff. The crow didn't say anything, just flapped its wings and threw a black feather to him. Zhang Yuan understood immediately. The crow was reminding him to stop when he had enough and not to fish out all the fish! Zhang Yuan bowed to the crow: "Thank you, brother crow." Then he tied up the mountain goat, carried it on his shoulders and returned to the outside of the mountain with Black Feather. After Black Feather disappeared, Zhang Yuan sacrificed the two mountain goats with their internal organs removed on the spot. Received points of source essence. Without the slightest hesitation, he put all the source essence into the second nest and fed it to the Jade Mantis! Touching the two rock ginsengs hidden in his arms, Zhang Yuan looked at the sky again. It was still early. He thought for a while and walked towards Chenjia Village. Zhang Yuan didn't plan to give up the house in the village for the time being. Even if he didn't live there, it was very suitable as a foothold for hunting in the mountains. The county town was far away from Qianfeng Mountain. He set out before dawn in the morning, and started his journey when the city gate just opened. He then went into the mountains to where Yagui was, and walked for nearly two hours. In comparison, Chenjia Village is much closer. In this way, if he comes back late, he doesn't have to risk running back to the county town. In addition, the county town will close the city gate at night and no one is allowed to enter or leave. As for his mother's safety, Zhang Yuan is not worried. The county town has good public security, and he left Dahu there to watch over the house. An ordinary thief can't get any good in front of this mountain dog!
Three days later, everything is normal in his hometown. But a neighbor aunt saw Zhang Yuan and asked in surprise: "Yuan, you are back?" Zhang Yuan smiled: "Yes." The aunt glanced at the deserted Zhang family and asked: "Where is your mother?" Zhang Yuan said depressedly: "My mother is not in good health. She is sick after the hard journey, so she can only stay at her relatives' house for a while and come back after recuperation." "So that's the case." The aunt's face was full of sympathy: "Then why don't you stay there with your mother?" "I have to make money!" Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly: "It's not good to eat and drink for free at my relatives' house. I plan to come back to hunt more prey and earn some money to buy medicine for my mother's medical treatment." "Ah!" The aunt slapped her thigh: "Yuan, you don't know yet?" "The day before yesterday, Mr. Chen released the news that he would recruit young and strong people in the village to build roads, give money and food, and the treatment is good!" Zhang Yuan was surprised: "Build roads, what roads?" "The road into the mountains!" The neighbor pointed to Qianfeng Mountain and said excitedly: "It is said that a mountain road of 20 to 30 miles long is to be built. Those who are willing to participate will be given a pound of rice and 50 coins every day, and breakfast and dinner are also provided!" Her eyes lit up: "And Mr. Chen also said that if you do a good job, you will be exempted from corvée next year!" But Zhang Yuan heard something wrong: "Building a road into the mountains? Aren't you afraid of the weirdness in the mountains?" Except for a few daring herbalists and hunters, few people dare to go deep into Qianfeng Mountain. Because everyone knows that there are weird things in the mountains, and once you run into them, your life and death are unpredictable. For hundreds of years, many villagers in Chenjia Village have entered the mountains and have never seen people or bodies since then. If Zhang Yuan had not been forced into a corner, he would not have risked going into the mountains to hunt. He didn't die and ran into a crow, which was a pure explosion of character! Even the children in the village knew that the mountains were taboo places, so how could the villagers be tempted by Mr. Chen? Although money and food are good, you have to live to enjoy them! The aunt smiled and said, "Mr. Chen said that he has invited the statue of the Linhe City God. By then, the strange things will be warded off and the evil spirits will not come near. It will be very safe!" Linhe City God Statue! Zhang Yuan couldn't believe his ears. What virtue and ability did this Mr. Chen have to invite the statue of the City God to sit in charge?
With such ability, why did he move from the county town to Chenjia Village? What is the purpose of the other party building the mountain road? The more Zhang Yuan thought about it, the more frightened he became. He suddenly remembered the treasure map on his chest - could it be related to the treasure in Qianfeng Mountain? The neighbor aunt said again: "Yuanwaer, if you want to participate, then go to Chen's house to sign up quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to get in when the quota is full!" Zhang Yuan calmed down and smiled: "I know, thank you aunt." Regardless of whether this Mr. Chen was hiding treasure in the mountains, he must have great ambitions. His previous premonition was right!
