Chapter 306 Brotherly War Qiao Sanguan barely maintained the surface...
Qiao Sanguan barely maintained his composure as he sent He Si, who came to discuss something, away. He watched him leave Liucao Village. When He Si returned to his room, he looked dazed.
Qiao Sanguan sat on the stone bed in silence for a while. After a while, he heard a sound outside the door and he woke up as if from a dream.
Pu Shiyi Niang saw Qiao Sanguan sitting on the stone bed in a daze, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Why are you sitting here? Did something happen in Hecun?" Apart from anything else, in her impression, Qiao Sanguan was always steady and seemed to be sure of everything. Even when he was betrayed, he could still persevere gently.
It was the first time that Pu Shiyi Niang saw him so out of control.
Qiao Sanguan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Gather all the villagers to come over. I have something to announce."
Pu Shiyiniang was stunned. She was keenly aware of something strange. After observing him carefully for a moment, she found that Qiao Sanguan did not show any embarrassment on his face. On the contrary, Pu Shiyiniang felt that this dull tone was more like a surprise than a falling pie from the sky.
Pu Shiyi Niang hesitated and asked tentatively: "Good news?"
Qiao Sanguan smiled and said affirmatively: "Good news!"
When He Si invited the ghosts from Liucao Village to go up the mountain, Qiao Sanguan knew that their group was finally accepted.
Qiao Sanguan knew that there were many strange plants on the mountain. He also knew that every spring the children in He Village would go up the mountain and bring back a lot of good things every time they came back. If the people in He Village didn't tell him, Qiao Sanguan would pretend not to know.
Now that Hecun has finally extended an invitation to them, the meaning is self-evident. How can he not be excited by the fact that their Liucao Village has truly been accepted into the core affairs?
While trying to keep himself calm, Qiao Sanguan was thinking about how to tell the tricksters in his village not to break any taboos. He knew that the talents of the people in Liucao Village could not compare to those of the people in He Village. The talents of the people in He Village were too excessive. But if they could not compare with He Village, they could at least compare with the other villages in Jinshi Qunling, right?
Of course they came through mountains and rivers to live a good life!
When the evil spirits from Liucao Village followed their village chief to the territory of He Village, they stopped at the foot of Chongshan Mountain. The leader, Qiao Sanguan, saw from a distance a group of evil spirits who had been waiting at the foot of Chongshan Mountain. There were about a dozen of them, and they were the evil spirits from He Village.
Fourth Uncle He looked at the seven "sly men" behind Qiao Sanguan, some big and some small, and nodded as a greeting: "Are you here?"
"Let's go up the mountain. Lu Wazi has been waiting for a long time." Uncle He said.
When He Sijiu went up the mountain, he asked Qiao Sanguan, "Have you explained clearly what you need to pay attention to?"
Qiao Sanguan nodded: "Don't worry, I've made it clear."
Qiao Sanguan was talking to He Si's uncle in front, while following He Si carefully and cautiously, making sure his eyes didn't wander around. The tricksters from Liucao Village behind him followed his example. He Si nodded in his heart after seeing this. Qiao Sanguan had always been a good person, otherwise it would have been impossible for Liucao Village to change the impression in the minds of the village elders so quickly.
As for the reasons, the village chief of Liucao Village accounts for at least half of the credit.
The group of people soon arrived at the foot of Ercheng Mountain. Under the night sky, white flowers were blooming luxuriantly all over the mountain. If you got close, you could smell the rich sweet fragrance.
Needless to say, the guiler's five senses were very good. Qiao Sanguan could even clearly see a tiny bit of bright red stamen in the white flower closest to him.
"Excuse me." Before Qiao Sanguan could continue to watch, the Lord of Chongshan, who had only heard of his name but never seen him for many years, came out. He nodded at them first and then said very calmly: "My uncle should have told you the specific requirements. Be quiet and don't disturb the black tiger vine. Don't pick the light yellow stamens. The latter is very important. If you pick them by mistake, I will ask you to leave directly. This matter is related to next year's harvest. I hope you can forgive me."
"Know."
"clear."
The people in the crowd already knew about this matter, and they all looked up expectantly at Lord Chongshan at the head of the group, and when they heard this they opened their mouths to respond.
"There are no more left. Just watch out for sneak attacks from strange birds and vines." There was nothing much to say to Ye Lu. He and Sijiu should have said everything they needed to say long ago, and the people in He Village should also know what to do.
After Ye Lu finished speaking, he looked at his fourth uncle, waiting for his next instructions.
A hint of helplessness flashed across Fourth Uncle's face. He didn't want to do any work at all. His management ability was obviously no worse than Ah Gui's, so why was it that he was too lazy to do anything? And with Ah Gui supporting him, how could he be able to enjoy himself so far?
He Si was extremely helpless. He originally wanted to train his nephew's abilities to see if he could take over some of the affairs in his hands. But it was obvious that the boy didn't want to move at all and just threw the matter back to him.
Forget it, Fourth Uncle He was defeated and was completely helpless.
"Everyone go pick them." He Simian coughed lightly and said to everyone.
When the tricksters heard this, they scattered into the vine field, each holding a wooden box of varying sizes in their hands, and began to move.
The white flower with bright red stamens was plucked without hesitation. The whole process was very agile. While picking, the strange man also ignored the sneak attacks from the strange plants around him, and calmly avoided the sneak attacks from vines and strange birds. He listened to the panicked screams of the birds and the flapping of their wings, judged their positions, and once again avoided the attack of the strange power.
It was rare for He Qi to get out of the Blood Spot Plum incident. Since it concerned his nephew's cultivation resources, he had to go up the mountain no matter what.
He Qi was not planning to pick flowers. He rarely used his talent, but once he used it it was always at critical moments, so he was very calm when staying next to his brother.
He Qi took the bright red stamen handed over by his brother and put it to his nose and sniffed it. His nose was filled with the sweet fragrance, and his natural instincts were constantly triggered. He couldn't help but say, "It would be great if there were bee-like monsters in the mountains. Such beautiful flowers can produce a lot of good honey." The price of honey has always been high, and this white flower with a lot of pollen will definitely make a lot of money.
"This kind of strange beast cannot be found just by looking for it. The caravan has been looking for it for a long time but hasn't found it." Ye Lu said helplessly.
Uncle He Qi thought about it and it made sense. Everyone knew that bee-like monsters could make money. Only the forces with strange plants on the mountain would basically not give the little queen bees they bred to others. Even a small number could make honey.
He Qi continued to look at the white flower in his hand. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly picked up a petal of the white flower and took a bite. He Si had no time to stop him and could only watch this kid committing suicide with a dark face.
He Qi seemed to be completely unaware of the danger. He chewed and chewed, only feeling the sweetness in his mouth. After he finished chewing, he chuckled and said with certainty, "It's edible. It tastes good. It has the effect of strengthening the flesh and blood. It should be brought by its own function. But has this strange plant ever had any problems? The strange power is too violent. It feels like fighting in the stomach when it is eaten. I guess even a Huang Li-level strange warrior can't eat much."
After eating, He Qi commented: "It's a bit tasteless, but the effect is quite good. It can be considered as a medium-level tricky food. It's a good bargain for these little guys."
"You're lucky, kid. Judging from the flowers, the fruit of this strange plant should be even better." After He Qi finished speaking, he looked at his nephew teasingly and grinned. He never had any airs with his nephew and spoke to him like a good friend.
Ye Lu paused, then took a step back without leaving a trace.
He Qi was puzzled: "Why are you stepping back? Am I that scary?"
Ye Lu didn't say anything. It was not the first time that he saw his seventh uncle committing suicide, but to be honest, he had to admit that it was rare to find someone so capable of committing suicide.
".......Old Seven." He Si appeared from behind He Qi with a gloomy face and said quietly, "Is this how you usually identify strange food?"
He Qi's whole body stiffened. Oh my god, how could he forget that his brother was present and just acted like before? His brother had been annoyed by his habit of eating anywhere for a long time.
Fourth Uncle He still remembered that this was outside, and he also wanted to save some face for his younger brother in front of his nephew, so he said in a seemingly calm tone: "Come with me."
He Qi was in tears and tried his best to make faces at his nephew, hoping that he could save his life.
Ye Lu lowered his head and pretended not to see it. Fourth Uncle was still there. Besides, he had been displeased with Seventh Uncle's habit for a long time. After all, the edible strange foods were only a minority. Most of the things containing strange powers were actually poisonous. Just because Seventh Uncle had no problems before did not mean that he would not have problems in the future.
It would be good if Fourth Uncle could give me a profound lesson this time.
What’s more crucial is that Ye Lu is worried that if he speaks out, his fourth uncle will be implicated and punished for multiple crimes.
Little? Traitor! Uncle He Qi glared at his nephew, then withdrew his gaze in despair, and followed his brother into the dark, looking back every step of the way with tears in his eyes.
Pu Shiyi Niang had been picking white flowers in her hand and avoiding sneak attacks from all around. She looked around and found the right time to come near Qiao Sanguan and said in a low voice: "That is the famous Lord Chongshan, right? He doesn't look very old?" He didn't seem to be older than her. At least she had white hair now.
Pu Shiyi Niang took another look at the noble and imposing young man with a head full of black hair in the moonlight, and subconsciously touched her own hair.
"Lord Chongshan was not very old to begin with." Qiao Sanguan replied calmly. He actually knew more than Pu Shiyi Niang. "He is considered a junior in He Village. The current leader of He Village, He Si, is his uncle. The next leader, A Guiguishi, is his brother. He is just too talented and promoted too quickly, which gives people the illusion that he is very old."
"So that's how it is." Pu Shiyi Niang exclaimed in amazement: "I heard that Lord Chongshan will break through to the Blood Grudge level next. Wow!"
Blood Grudge level, oh my God, she had only heard of this level of cultivation from the passing caravans, but she never expected to actually see it with her own eyes one day.
"Why didn't you come here to pick flowers?" Qiao Sanguan was accustomed to Pu Shiniang's sighs, and he raised his eyes to look at her.
Pu Shiyi scratched her head and asked, "What do you think the white flower can do?"
"Didn't you hear it just now?" Qiao Sanguan replied calmly, "The flesh and blood are strengthened, but the strange power is a little violent and can't be eaten too much."
"I know, but can't we earn more strange beads by selling this strange food to the caravan? Lord Chongshan just gave it to us like that?" Pu Shiyi Niang heard it, but she was still a little bit unbelieving. This was strange food strengthened with flesh and blood. The last time she saw strange food strengthened with flesh and blood in the caravan, a serving of it cost more than ten strange beads, not to mention the clustered strange food. She thought that strange food didn't even have as much strange power as this flower.
When Pu Shiyiniang looked at the white flowers all over the mountains, she felt as if she saw countless mysterious beads waving at her.
"Of course you can." Qiao Sanguan was also surprised by Lord Chongshan's generosity, but he could understand why after thinking about it, and was willing to explain to Pu Shiyi Niang, saying, "Didn't you just tell me the reason?"
"Lord Chongshan is ready to upgrade to the Blood Grudge level. He has many strange plants in his hands and has no shortage of resources. As a powerful person, he is naturally willing to protect his fellow tribesmen." Qiao Sanguan explained the reason and said, "No matter how precious these white flowers are, their strange power is violent. If you trade them to the caravan, you can only get Baiyou-level strange beads. The better ones are Huangli-level. These strange beads are not important to Lord Chongshan."
“Instead of taking the unimportant ghost beads, it is better to use them to subsidize fellow tribesmen and see if there are any talented people among the younger generations.” Qiao Sanguan’s eyes were full of admiration. This is why most villages choose to support talented children first. Although young children cost a lot of resources, they can give back to the village once they reach a high level. At the same time, their powerful combat power can also allow them to protect the village from strange threats, and the village will grow again, forming a cycle that is getting better and better.
