Chapter 518 respectively

Aunt Bai first screamed in fear, then showed hesitation:

"He stole the mountain mushroom, which has nothing to do with us."

Several people live together and get along day and night. It is impossible to say that there is no relationship, but it is not good enough to be like a family.

Seeing someone die, it’s okay to care about it.

But don't implicate yourself.

"Humph!"

Xu Liu snorted coldly:

"It's better not to, otherwise he will be your end!"

"Six sons, you are promising." Uncle Zheng laughed dryly:

"This is joining the gang, congratulations."

"You're welcome!" Xu Liu looked gloomy:

"That day when the uncle slashed me with a knife, the six sons have always remembered it. By the way, I will tell you that this area will belong to our Giant Whale Gang from now on."

"If I have time, I will come here often!"

Said and motioned to the two people behind him:

"Let's go!"

Watching the three of them wander away, Uncle Zheng looked worried, while Zhou Yi cautiously approached Ergou, checking his breath.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief:

"Still alive, not dead."

"what happened?"

"Was that the six sons just now?"

"It's him. Some time ago, he didn't know what kind of **** luck he had, but he joined the giant whale gang, and he will become a master in the future."

At this moment, neighbors from the surrounding neighborhood also gathered around, whispering among themselves.

Even though Ergou is not dead, the situation is very bad. His body is full of hideous wounds, and he is dying.

…

"Crunch..."

Zhou Yi pushed open the door and stepped inside.

"How is it?" Uncle Zheng turned around:

"Did you hear anything?"

"Yes." Zhou Yi nodded:

"Ergou frequently sold mountain mushrooms in the market during this time, and was targeted by people. The six sons led people to stop him on the way back to the city."

"Fortunately, he was not caught on the spot, otherwise he might not be able to come back."

There are obviously eyeliners of the Giant Whale Gang in the market. Er Gou is young and energetic, and has a show-off temperament. It is normal for people to stare at him.

"Hey!"

Aunt Bai's eyes were red and she complained in a low voice:

"I reminded him not to cause trouble, but he didn't listen. Now that he's in this situation, what's the use of earning more money?"

"We are all from peasant backgrounds, just live an honest life, and the gang members have to give half to them and half."

Zhou Yi shook his head:

"There is one more thing. Jimin Lane will be managed by the Giant Whale Gang in the future. I heard that protection fees will be collected next month. The exact amount has not been announced yet."

"Porridge giving will start tomorrow, and it will also change from two games a day to one game a day."

"what!"

Aunt Bai turned pale:

"If there is no porridge, there will be a protection fee. The imperial court said that we will be exempted from labor taxes for three years. Does the government care about this?"

"The yamen must know." Uncle Zheng said in a muffled voice:

"The imperial court exempted the refugees from labor taxes, and they will definitely get it back from the wealthy businessmen and gangs, and they will squeeze us again."

"Hey!"

"In the end, nothing can be avoided!"

Zhou Yi remained silent.

Aunt Bai sighed.

"We offended the sixth son. He is now a member of the Giant Whale Gang. He will inevitably make things difficult in the future. I think..." Uncle Zheng glanced at Aunt Bai:

"The method Lao Qi said is not impossible."

"To be a tenant?" Aunt Bai hesitated:

"I heard that being a tenant here costs 20-80% of the harvest. 80% of the annual harvest is given to the host family, leaving 20% is probably not enough to eat."

The so-called tenants are farmers who live by renting land from large landlord families.

The landlord provides the land, the tenants work, and the harvest is distributed according to the agreed ratio, usually seven to three points, and only two to eight points when encountering strict masters.

"Neither."

Uncle Zheng shook his head:

"The land here is fertile, 20% is enough to eat and drink, and the owner provides arable land. In addition, I still have a few years of strength, so I just need to rent a few more acres."

"In the countryside, there are not so many strong people."

Aunt Bai opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

She prefers to stay in the city, not only because the city is prosperous and has all kinds of things, but also because she can also earn money in the city.

Go to the countryside, consumption is less, but there are not many ways to earn money.

"Little B."

Looking at Zhou Yi, Aunt Bai said slowly:

"what's your plan?"

"I..." Zhou Yi pondered for a while, then shook his head:

"I intend to stay."

He has already made up his mind to join the Lin Family Martial Arts Academy, no matter how bad it is, he will find a way to practice martial arts. How can there be any way to go to the countryside?

and,

Twenty-eight points?

Landlord Lao Cai will only squeeze people to the limit, 20% if they can survive starvation, then 20%;

This is no different from capitalist exploitation.

Regarding Zhou Yi's choice, both of them were full of regret. After all, Uncle Zheng is not young enough to work hard for a few years.

Zhou Yi is in his prime, so it would be nice to help out by planting crops together.

"water…"

"water!"

Ergou's hoarse voice sounded, Aunt Bai hurriedly got up, took a bowl of hot water and sent him to drink it carefully, and touched his forehead by the way.

"So hot?"

"Injury, internal heat." Uncle Zheng approached, frowning:

"In this situation, it will definitely not work."

"Money." Er Gou seemed to hear something vaguely, struggled to raise his right hand, and pointed towards the straw he often lay on:

"my money."

Aunt Bai's eyes lit up, she hurriedly rummaged through the pile of straw, and found a heavy money bag.

Shaking it lightly, I'm afraid it won't cost more than a hundred dollars.

"So much money?"

She subconsciously tightened her hand holding the purse, and then looked at the few people in the field, her eyes were a little strange, and there was a hint of greed.

"Ahem..." Uncle Zheng coughed dryly, and waved at her again and again:

"The money belongs to Ergou, you should buy him medicine."

"I'll go." Zhou Yi stood up straight:

"I know a few words, and I can keep accounts. Do you want to go with Aunt Bai?"

"it is good."

Before Aunt Bai refused, Uncle Zheng had already nodded yes.

…

One hundred and five articles!

This is the money that Ergou earned desperately. It seems to be a lot, but it is only enough to buy three medicines from the pharmacy, and there is no doctor to consult.

Whether it is right or not is a matter of opinion.

After taking three sets of medicines, whether he can survive depends entirely on whether his life is hard or not.

In the next few days, Ergou continued to have a high fever, his lips were chapped and purple, he stopped talking in his dreams, and his body twitched from time to time.

Uncle Zheng stayed with Aunt Bai openly and aboveboard, and even asked her daughter to call him Daddy.

When times are tough, it is common to cling to each other for comfort.

The three of them have decided to become tenants, and they are currently in contact with nearby neighbors who have the intention to go together.

In this way, there will be a care for each other in the future.

Five days later.

Uncle Zheng, Aunt Bai, and Nannan bid farewell to Zhou Yi. There were dozens of people in their company, and they went to Hongjiabao together to be tenants.

Master Hong is a retired official, he can be exempted from corvee under his name, and Mr. Hong is kind-hearted and doesn't treat people too harshly.

certainly.

These are just the news they inquired, and the specific situation will be clear in due course.

At the time of parting, Uncle Zheng gave Zhou Yi his long sword as a gift. According to him, he never wanted to wield swords and guns with others in his life.

Zhou Yi took out a jade plaque he picked up from a corpse on the road to exile. The quality of the jade is very poor, but it should be worth dozens of texts.

When parting, it is inevitable to be a little sad.

囡囡 cried even more.

As soon as a few people left, the room was much emptier.

Ergou was lucky, he no longer had a fever, and he could barely drink some porridge, but his eyes were still dull and his consciousness was confused, and he didn't know when he would recover.

During this period, Uncle Zheng and Aunt Bai were on the go all day, Zhou Yi stayed indoors except when he went up the mountain occasionally, so he was free.

Fortunately, I have been practicing knife skills.

With the 'Golden Finger', every time the Wind Splitter is practiced, there will be certain gains.

After a period of time, the moves are already proficient, and the nine sword moves are almost waving, sometimes the sword is flashing, but it is quite bluffing.

Suddenly.

"Shua!"

The light of the knife flashed, and there was a faint afterimage. The knife's technique cut across the air, and there was a subtle whistle of the knife.

"Um?"

Zhou Yi was taken aback for a moment, and his consciousness immediately turned to the sea of consciousness.

Sure enough.

Splitting Wind Knife: Skilled (1/100)

Chong Guan (4/100)

The Wind Cleave Knife Technique has broken through the entry stage and reached the level of proficiency, but it is unexpected to be able to cut out the afterimage that Uncle Zheng said with just proficiency.

As everyone knows.

The wind splitting knife method does not pay much attention to moves, how to stand upright and exert strength is fundamental.

Zhou Yi practiced frequently, and adjusted his power-generating skills from time to time as his proficiency improved, which naturally far surpassed other people's blind groping.

"Although I am fifteen, my body is not badly developed, and my strength is no less than that of an adult man. The wind splitter can have twice the strength if I go all out."

"Ordinary people should not be opponents."

Dead branches prop up the leaves and cover the dead wood below.

Carefully peeling away the leaves, removing the veil, clusters of mountain mushrooms on the dead wood came into view, which also made Zhou Yi's heart beat wildly.

"Mushroom Planting Technique..."

"It's done!"

After many verifications, a mature group of mushrooms was finally tested.

"Plate head mushroom, pine mushroom, tiger's palm mushroom... Is this red fold mushroom?"

"Shan Treasures and Hundred Medicines" not only contains edible mountain mushrooms, but also records several kinds of poisonous mushrooms, and red pleated mushroom is one of them.

A small amount of this mushroom can cause fatigue and lethargy, while an overdose can cause nausea, vomiting, and even hallucinations, until the internal organs rot and die.

"There are poisonous mushrooms?"

Shaking his head, Zhou Yi took off the most valuable tiger palm mushroom. This mushroom is thick and fat, like a big piece of fat, which can greatly nourish the body.

Many inns and restaurants charge.

The price is not cheap, such a big flower should be able to sell for twenty or thirty cash.

"Fifty Wen!"

Weighing the heavy bamboo basket, Zhou Yi grinned:

"Even if it is divided into half, there are still more than 20 essays, and there is hope for the future."

In addition to here, he also planted mushrooms in several hidden places, and as long as the time is up, he can pick them with a basket.

No longer have to be like other people, relying on luck and hard work to have a stable harvest.

"Don't run!"

"Stop!"

The noise came from a distance, getting closer.

Zhou Yi's complexion changed, he hastily covered the place where the mushrooms were planted, turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

"Poof!"

"what!"

The screams sounded one after another, and the fighting seemed to come from more than one place. Zhou Yi's eyes were flustered, so he had to climb a tree to avoid it.

He has encountered danger more than once in the mountain, and he even avoided the looters from a distance, but this is the first time he has encountered large-scale fighting.

Through the leaves, one can see that the fighting comes from two forces.

Qingyi should be the Green Bamboo Gang, and Lanyi is the Giant Whale Gang. These two major factions are gangs near Kunshan City, so they don't deal with them at all.

As for the Lin family...

He also inquired.

If the Green Bamboo Gang and the Giant Whale Gang are gangs in small places, then the Lin family is a powerful family in the martial arts world.

even.

The daughters of the Lin family can marry into the royal family as concubines.

"kill!"

"Kill!"

The fight below was overwhelming. The Green Bamboo Gang had nearly half the number of Giant Whale Gang, and they were almost powerless to fight back.

The sound of fighting gradually faded away, Zhou Yi carefully slid down the tree and wanted to leave.

Sudden,

Two members of the Giant Whale Gang walked out from behind a tree, and they couldn't help being stunned when they saw him.

"Yoo!"

One of them raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"Coincidentally, I can still meet outsiders here. With this outfit, are they refugees? Or mountain people?"

"Two people."

Zhou Yi's throat rolled, and he stepped back quietly:

"I was just passing by, saw nothing, and knew nothing."

"It's sensible." The two looked at each other, and one of them had triangular eyes and grinned:

"Put down the things on your body first."

"..." Zhou Yi opened his mouth, then nodded slowly:

"Yes."

As he spoke, he slowly put down the bamboo basket.

Although mushrooms are valuable, they cannot be compared with your own life. It is better to be honest if you can not avoid conflicts. Swords do not have eyes.

After putting down his things, he was about to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Triangular eyes frowned, and the voice said displeased:

"Let you put down everything on your body, can't you understand people's words?"

"Knife!"

Zhou Yi's complexion changed, he subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife, and he couldn't help showing hesitation in his eyes.

Without a knife, it means that there is no resistance.

"Still considering?"

The other person showed a sneer and rushed forward:

"Think about you**!"

Amidst the yelling, the visitor has already used his strength to speed up, slashing fiercely with a knife:

"Die!"
