Chapter 17 Encountering robbers on the road
After everyone discussed it, they decided that Jiang's father and son and uncle would go together.
With three powerful fighters, it is highly unlikely that they would encounter robbers. Even if they did, at most they would fight.
If not, they would just run away. The robbers would not be able to catch up with them.
Before that, they naturally prepared food for the New Year.
As usual, Jiang Lan went fishing, and in the past year, he used Baixiang rice from time to time to lure the meat of the animals he hunted.
Some vegetables planted in the field, and they had a hot pot in a lively atmosphere.
Jiang Lan also tried to plant these vegetables. Perhaps the sample size was too small, and no alienation has appeared so far!
Everyone spent another year in harmony.
There were no other worries, and no one came to disturb the courtyard. Maybe it was less lively, but it was more warm.
On this day, Jiang Lan was going to prepare the seeds for next year, which was naturally [breeding]!
Jiang Lan took out the high-yield rice and planned to try it first.
"Ding, do you want to breed [high-yield rice]?"
"Yes!"
The seeds in Jiang Lan's hand glowed slightly, and after a while, they were completed.
Jiang Lan immediately looked at the seeds and checked the information.
[High-yield rice]: Yield +30%
"Huo, not bad, the previous yield was +10%, which directly increased the yield by 20%, and coupled with my farming branch ability, compared with ordinary rice, the harvest increased by nearly 43%."
Jiang Lan's skill improvement is in the total yield, and it continues to improve. The two are not added, but multiplied!
Jiang Lan wanted to continue breeding, but the system showed that each seed can only be bred once!
However, the explanation was ambiguous, and Jiang Lan couldn't figure it out. Is it that the variety of [high-yield rice] can only be [bred] once.
Or, after I plant it next year, the fruit produced can continue breeding?
In any case, we have to wait until next year to see.
Continue!
Then came [Bai Xiang Rice] and [Bi Gu Rice], both of which were successfully upgraded to the first-grade lower-grade spiritual rice.
The efficacy was greatly improved, and even to a certain extent, it could improve physical fitness and prolong life, although the degree was very weak.
However, there was bad news, the system showed that these two rices actually had planting requirements!
They must be planted on the spiritual vein...
Fortunately, Jiang Lan only took a part of the experiment, and there were still a lot of original ones, otherwise, Jiang Lan would definitely cry.
After all, Jiang Lan didn't even see the shadow of the spiritual vein, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't plant it!
Jiang Lan carefully collected the seeds and planned to plant them again when conditions were met in the future.
Next, it was the much-anticipated [Blood Spirit Rice].
This [Blood Spirit Rice] is indeed magical. As a spiritual rice, it can be planted without a spiritual vein, but blood is used as fertilizer, which is a bit creepy.
Don't take it out, or people will think it's a crooked way. I wonder if [breeding] can be changed this time.
Jiang Lan stared at the blood spirit rice in his hand and started breeding skillfully.
However, this time was different from the previous time. This time, there was a choice!
[Blood Spirit Rice 1]: First-level medium-quality, feeds on the flesh and blood of living creatures in the world, strengthens the body, and has a certain autonomous hunting ability!
[Blood Spirit Rice 2]: First-level medium-quality, feeds on the flesh and blood of monsters, increases blood and strengthens the body!
After Jiang Lan saw these two options clearly, he chose the second one in seconds.
The first one was really too weird, and it had the ability to hunt. What kind of monsters and ghosts, can it still be eaten?
And it feeds on living creatures in the world, so do humans count as well?
Then wouldn’t he be hunted down by the righteous when he went out?
More importantly, if this first kind of blood spirit rice fell into the hands of the demons and used it to harm fellow human beings, then Jiang Lan would become a sinner of the human race!
This was something Jiang Lan didn’t want.
As for the monsters, Jiang Lan said: Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.
Jiang Lan admitted that there might be some good monsters that are inclined towards humans among the monsters, but what Jiang Lan can do is to try not to kill them when he encounters them.
Jiang Lan does not have the great dream of a world of peace and harmony among all species.
He can only take care of himself, strengthen himself, and let the people around him live a good life. No matter how many more, Jiang Lan cannot control them, and has no ability to control them!
Fortunately, the blood spirit rice after [breeding] can still be planted in the mortal world.
However, how to get meat from monsters? Do animals count?
These questions can only be known after planting.
Jiang Lan plans to plant only a small piece to see, Jiang Lan's experimental field, once again!
Perhaps this medium-quality blood spirit rice can help my father and others break through the bottleneck, and reach the first level of body refining like me!
It should be mentioned here that ordinary rice and vegetables cannot be [bred], and Jiang Lan does not know why...
Perhaps these seeds have insufficient potential and need to be [alienated] before they can continue [breeding].
Jiang Lan thought so, and began a lot of [breeding] work.
After getting ready, he called Jiang's father and second uncle and gave them detailed instructions.
After the New Year, the three of them were ready to go, pushing a wooden cart and heading towards Qianshui City.
The wooden cart was loaded with food, and they planned to sell it in the city. It was estimated that these could be sold for 100 taels of silver.
Half of it was enough for his uncle to reorganize, and the rest Jiang Lan planned to buy some books and other daily necessities.
However, no one expected that they would encounter three waves of robbers along the way.
The first two waves, three or five, were easily dealt with.
As for the last wave...
At this moment, the three of them stood back to back, looking at the people who surrounded them vigilantly.
The third wave of robbers, about a hundred people, and the three were surrounded. Just when the group was about to find the right direction and break out directly.
An acquaintance appeared in the middle.
"He Xiang!"
"Uncle!"
Jiang's father and Jiang Lan said in unison, because one of the two people who led the way on horseback was Jiang Lan's uncle, Jiang's mother's brother, and He Xiaomi's father.
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet Brother Zhan and Xiao Lan here!"
He Xiang separated the crowd and came to the three people, greeting them with a relaxed expression.
Turning around, he said to the people around him: "Put down your weapons, we are one family."
Then he turned around and continued to chat for a while. When he learned that the three people were going to the city, he planned to escort them personally.
"Okay, brothers, make way. My in-laws are going to the city. Xiaohu, follow me to send them off."
A sturdy young man came out, followed by twenty or thirty people.
Jiang Lan and others breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't expect that the uncle who knelt down to beg the Jiang family to accept He Xiaomi turned away helplessly.
Now he has become the leader of the robbers, which is a pity.
[Looking at this situation, I think there is no need to fight. ]
Just when Jiang Lan was thinking this, something unexpected happened.
The people outside not only did not disperse, but also took out the weapons they had just put away and pointed them at He Xiang.
At this time, another voice came out from the horse slowly:
"Wait, second brother, since they are your relatives, they can pay half of the bribe!"
"You are also the second in command, you have to consider your brothers too, you can't live by yourself, your brothers have to live too!"
