Chapter 9: Harvest and Rumors

dusk.

A group of people carrying full baskets appeared on the village road.

"Hey hey hey! They're back!"

"Really! It's Chen Li and the others!"

The idlers and old men and women staying at the entrance of the village all started shouting.

soon.

People gathered at the entrance of the village again, more this time!

Many men in their thirties who are busy making a living also appeared.

Chen Li threw Lin Lu on his shoulder to the ground.

Bang bang bang!

The brothers behind him also threw down their prey.

Pheasant, silly roe deer, fat rabbit, wild sheep...

"Hahahahaha!"

Chen Li burst out laughing.

The brothers behind him were also laughing constantly, showing their pride.

"Oh my God! So many!"

"How much meat does this cost?"

"What a skill! This skill is so tough!"

"Chen Li will definitely be the most powerful as the clan leader!"

"Yes, Chen Li will be the clan leader..."

"..."

Listening to the envious looks and compliments from the people around him, Chen Li could not help but raise the corners of his mouth.

soon.

They were overwhelmed by the crowd.

Those who intercede... those who beg for food... those who borrow food... those who learn skills...

What a lively scene.

…

The atmosphere in the village began to change.

The clan chief's dispute has spread throughout the village.

And the news that Chen Li and others hunted for food also spread.

"Hey, have you heard that Chen Li and the others are dividing the meat at the entrance of the village..."

"How could you not have heard of it? My family even got two taels."

"If it can continue, then I support Chen Li and I am convinced."

"Yes, what do you think Chen Nuo and Chen Yong will do?"

"Who knows, anyway, let's just listen to whoever has the ability. This is my uncle's wish."

"..."

Chen Nuo's family.

The old lady and the hot sister stopped talking.

Chen Nuo: "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Son, what are you going to do? Chen Li and the others yesterday..."

Chen Nuo frowned, looked at the piece of black wood in the room, and said, "Mom, I need some time."

"Oh oh oh."

The old lady seemed to feel that she had disturbed her son's thinking, so she quickly stopped talking.

…

Two more days passed.

The work of Chen Li and others is getting more and more prosperous.

Chen Nuo has been staying at home, eating, practicing, and observing Heimu all day long.

My mother and hot sister didn't say much, but they were often quarreled with gossips about Chen Nuo in the village.

"What! Chen Li is so capable, how can that sick boy of yours compare to others? Do you still want to be the clan leader? Take a piss and show yourself!"

"You mother-in-law! You old pious woman is blind. Just get a pair of eyes. Don't talk nonsense here. What can you say about my man? You want to go to the county town for medical treatment in the future, right?!" The spicy lady was showing off her fierceness at this moment.

"Chen Li is so capable. Is it because of you? Who do you think you are? Does anyone know you? Does he have anything to do with you? My man is different. He can read, cure diseases, is handsome, and has skills. He is no better than He's bad!"

"you you you!"

The man was so angry that he was speechless.

However, as time went by, the gossip in the village did become more and more serious.

This is mainly because Chen Nuo really didn't move at all!

…

Boom, boom, boom.

Chen Nuo, who was doing some exercises in the yard to follow the breathing method, stopped and looked at the door.

next moment.

"Brother Nuo! Open the door! It's me!"

Chen Nuo twitched the corner of his mouth, walked over and pulled the door latch open.

The person who came was none other than Chen Yong.

However, there were actually a few people following him.

Chen Nuo glanced at it, with surprise flashing in his eyes.

"come in."

A group of people are in the yard.

In the center are Chen Nuo and Chen Yong.

"Brother Nuo, um, do we also need to take action?" Chen Yong said, rubbing his head.

"We can't let that guy Chen Li dominate the show."

Seeing Chen Yong start.

The four or five people next to him also started chattering.

"Yes, Brother Nuo, with Brother Yong here, we are not afraid of Chen Li and the others. As long as you ask, Brother Yong will take us up, and we will definitely catch no less prey than them in one day!"

"Brother Nuo, everyone listens to you!"

"..."

Chen Nuo looked at the enthusiastic eyes of this group of people with a smile on his face.

But my heart became increasingly cold.

These people were all close to him and Chen Yong in the past, but they also had a good relationship with Chen Li and the others. Not only them, there were also several of Chen Li's people who played well with him. .

Rural society is like this, no one is necessarily the right person.

Like Chen Yong, it is because of his special personality and some things that happened when he was a child that he is so trusting.

And these people may have taken a fancy to Chen Yong's bravery.

But Chen Yong didn't move at all without his own words, so he came to persuade himself. In essence, do they really obey me?

hehe.

Chen Nuo had a straight face and glanced at Chen Yong. Chen Yong was stunned, and then the years of tacit understanding came into play.

"Okay, okay, let's go."

Chen Yong immediately turned against him and drove away several people.

"Oh no? Why?"

"Chen Yong! Brother Nuo hasn't spoken yet!"

"..."

Several people were forced out by Chen Yong.

Then Chen Yong came back again.

Seeing Chen Nuo's expressionless look, Chen Yong suddenly looked panicked, "Well, that, brother, I was wrong, I'm sorry."

"What's wrong?"

"ah?"

No, how would I know...

"...Oh, I give up."

Chen Nuo shook his head and patted Chen Yong on the shoulder, "Yongzi, be careful in the future. They don't mean to harm you, but they want to use you. Think more about things in the future. If you don't know, ask me. Do you understand?"

"Oh." Chen Yong scratched his head.

Looking at Chen Yong, considering Chen Yong's family, Chen Nuo decided to say something to comfort his aunt and not make things difficult for Chen Yong.

"As for the action, don't rush."

"Chen Li and his friends have been hunting a lot these two days. There shouldn't be many animals in the outer area. If he wants to get something next, he has to go to the inner area. The danger there is higher, and he may not get such a harvest. After all, hunting can't feed so many people. If you want to feed more people, you still have to rely on farming."

Anyway, he can't take risks.

After all, he has no experience in hunting. Although his health is getting better and better, his strength is not strong enough to fight with wild boars. Even with Chen Yong's protection, the probability of accidents is not small, so it's better to be safe.

Anyway, there is no rush, there is still time.

"But, very little food has been grown in the past two years."

"I have my own way. No matter what, we will not starve."

"Oh, then I will go back." Chen Yong did not question Chen Nuo's idea at all.

"Well, go ahead."

Looking at Chen Yong's bare skeleton and big body, Chen Nuo hesitated for a moment, "Yongzi, wait a minute."

Chen Nuo handed over some mushrooms that had been picked.

Looking at Chen Yong's puzzled eyes, Chen Nuo reminded, "You can only eat it yourself, make up for it well, don't use breathing methods, otherwise you will get hungrier the more you practice."

"Oh."

Although it seems a bit roundabout, who cares, just listen to Brother Nuo.

Chen Yong went home with the mushrooms in his arms.

Watching Chen Yong leave.

Chen Nuo immediately turned back to the room and looked at the oyster mushrooms that had been cut five times on the black wood.

The rhizomes under the oyster mushrooms have become thicker and thicker.

Chen Nuo smiled, walked out the door, and continued to practice breathing methods and some simple moves.

On the table next to Hei Mu, there was a "disemboweled" oyster mushroom, and inside the stem was some white, slightly sticky, semi-powdery substance...
