Chapter 7 Making a Fortune
[There is a yellow tyrant who will attack the evil figure master and kill him to get the evil spirit. 】
Chen Ku looked solemn.
This reminder is...
The reminder of the change chart must be correct!
This Huang Ba is as harmful as the wild dog that wants to eat him!
Mother Chen said silently: "That Huang Ba, he just realized that our family is in this situation. We don't have much money. Let's take the autumn grain in the near future as an example..."

Autumn grain...autumn grain tax...
This is another tax.
Chen Ku put down the reminder for now.
To kill someone, that gangster has a few people under his command. He is single and weak. If he wants to kill someone, he doesn't have the ability to do so now.
There was a double silence.
……·
Taxation is a shackles on the people's heads, and Huang Ba also used this matter to bully his family.
During the Daji Dynasty, farmers would be taxed twice in a row, divided into summer tax and autumn grain and rice.
If they fail to pay, they will be forced to perform corvées to build bridges, roads, and manage rivers. As many people as stars die in the process.
This is the ancient dynasty.
Therefore, during the autumn grain harvest, it is also the time when landlords, bullies and powerful men are looking for opportunities to annex and buy other people's land at low prices.
At this time, Chen Ku looked at his old mother's depressed look and knew that at this time, her old mother was probably about to give in to this sad fate like most people.
And most of all this will be because of myself.
"Son, the autumn grain issue is approaching. Even if we don't sell our children, we probably won't be able to save this house." Mother Chen said helplessly.
When my sister-in-law heard that they would not sell their mother and son, she felt a slight sense of security, but when she thought about losing her house and not even a place to shelter from the wind and rain, she couldn't help but feel sad, and her silent tears began to drip again.
When Chen Ku heard these words, he frowned and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will find a way to deal with the autumn grain. I will neither sell the house nor sell people. If I really rely on this method to pay the autumn grain, How can I live without the corvee?"
Although Chen's mother and sister-in-law were shocked, they didn't quite believe that Chen Ku had any solution.
My mother asked: "Ding Jia's autumn grain is taxed on a per-capita basis, including seven-year-old tigers. Our family of four will have to pay at least two thousand dollars in taxes this year. How can you get so much money?" "
"You don't need to worry about this family. In short, there are still men in the family, and I will let everyone live a good life."
After that, he strode out of the door and pulled the cart back at the entrance of the village.
"I unloaded the firewood first, and this time I went to the market to buy antidiarrheal medicine for Huzi. After a while, my sister-in-law boiled a few more pots of hot water... and fed Huzi to take the medicine." Chen Ku said while unloading the firewood: " Then prepare some dry food for me, and I will go to Lieshan again tomorrow."
The old mother took pity on her son and said distressedly: "You can rest for a day and then talk..."
Chen Ku shook his head and said, "Time is so tight, I can't rest."
After that, he said to his sister-in-law: "Remember, if that Huang Ba comes again, go find Brother Zhao first, and then wait for me to come back. Don't worry, I will take care of you..."
Chen Ku held the sickle in his hand.
Feeling cold in my heart:
"Since this bully has targeted our family, he will definitely not give up so easily. However, with my current strength, I am weak. If I really want to have a conflict with him, I can't kill him without saying anything, and I won't get any benefits. I have to do it." Learn how to protect yourself. Next, just making money is not enough, you must also practice martial arts, and then you can deal with such people! "
The next day, Chen Ku took some boiled water and five times the usual amount of dry food, stepped on straw sandals, carried a sickle, and set out with a backpack on his back.
The mountains and forest farms closest to the village belong to a wealthy family in the county, including Yuan Li's family. It was their family's mountain that they visited last time with Mr. Li and his grandson.
There are mountain guards from the Li family patrolling the forest farm, leading wild dogs.
As usual, I paid fifty cash for the road and went in along the intersection into the mountain.
"I go into the mountains alone and have to leave at night, otherwise there will be too much danger in the mountains without anyone to accompany me..."
Especially after experiencing the white dog coming down the mountain to eat people not long ago, Chen Ku became even more aware of how many terrifying beasts were hidden in the mountains.
Tigers, leopards, and packs of jackals can kill any one of them if they encounter them.
With caution, trepidation, and unprecedented expectations, after entering the mountain, Chen Ku started the "thin dog transformation" and transformed into a dog's nose that can smell for ten miles.
[Skin dog changes]
[Current level: Shapeshifting (thin dog nose)]
[Slim dog nose: sniff for ten miles]
Opening the dog's nose, in the mountains and forests, it is different from the previous village.
The smells in the mountains and forests are so complex and numerous.
It is dozens of times larger than the one in the village.
The smell of different trees,
The smell of flowers and plants,
The smell of birds and animals...
Chen Ku recalled the strange and varied smells of medicinal firewood he smelled in the Yaochai market.
Start climbing the mountain stream.
Wandering among the mountains and forests.
The nasal cavity is constantly quivering.
Soon, the feedback of the herbal smell came one after another.
Bupleurum, Gastrodia elata, Polyporus cocos which are usually hard to find...
Found them all!
Half an hour later!
In the basket on Chen Ku's back was already what an ordinary herb collector would harvest after a day in the mountains.
It was already filled to the brim with all kinds of common herbs, including two chicken blood orchids.
He looked at the harvest in the backpack excitedly: "I have the sense of smell of a dog, and I have harvested so much in just half an hour. Although I haven't encountered any precious medicine yet, all the herbs in the backpack are worth seven or eight hundred coins!"
It is equivalent to an income of seven or eight hundred yuan in a few hours.
At this level of income, he will become the richest man in the village in a few months.
He can earn more than two guan in three or four days, and he is still worried about not being able to pay the autumn grain?
The golden finger did not disappoint his expectations!
After a while, he even found a ginseng.
"This ginseng, judging from the leaves, is not as big as Master Li's, but it is more than ten or twenty years old."
Chen Ku was extremely excited:
He carefully tied the red rope to the ginseng, and finally used a small wooden stick to loosen the soil a little bit. It took half an hour to lift the ginseng out intact.
"It's rich, this ginseng can be sold for at least four or five taels of silver!"
Earning four or five taels a day! It's really profitable!
In the previous life, that would be a daily income of 5,000 yuan!
Counting the past and present lives, this is also a windfall-level gain.
After digging out the ginseng.
However, just when he left the forest and was about to walk home on the mountain road.
But suddenly.
The dog's nose smelled a bloody smell.
The bloody smell made Chen Ku change color.
Because the bloody smell was actually the smell of human blood.
Subconsciously, he wanted to escape home quickly.
But suddenly, he heard several "wow" and "wow" howling sounds similar to wolf howls coming from the forest two or three miles away.
"Is this a wild wolf?"
Chen Ku immediately analyzed what was going on:
"Someone encountered a wild wolf in the mountains? Fighting fiercely."
After he analyzed this fact, he had a thought in his mind, but he didn't mean to go up.
It's not that he didn't want to save people, but...
It was too threatening to himself.
His nose twitched.
"The smell of one person, his opponent is sixteen wolves..."
A long time passed.
He snorted: "The bloody smell of that man is stronger, and the smell of the wolf is half lighter. He can fight sixteen wolves alone and kill half of them?"
After a while.
"He was bitten to death? Those wolves are almost all dead?"
Chen Ku was shocked.
So strong?
