Chapter 3

The most important problem now is that there is no money and no food in the stronghold.

It's OK to say that you don't have money. It's a big deal to spend less.

But there is no food, but it will die.

Zhang Meng and Chen Zhongxiong said that it only takes ten days to solve the problem of food and clothing in the stronghold.

The big reason is that he doesn't want to see his four stronghold leaders die.

If there is any good way, Zhang Meng really doesn't.

After enough tossing on the mountain, Zhang Meng returned home, lay on his hard bed and began to think.

However, after thinking about it for half a night, I didn't come up with a way.

This is not to say that Zhang mengben is stupid, but that he is not familiar with the world at all.

Before crossing, he was also an old bookworm and knew several must kill skills of the piercer.

Mosquito repellent incense, soap, glass, wine making, etc.

But he is not familiar with the world, and he does not know whether there are these things he knows.

If not, then Zhang Meng's opportunity will come. If so, think of another way.

Finally, Zhang Meng decided to go to the city first, get familiar with the situation here, and then see if there is any way to make money quickly.

……

Early the next morning, Zhang Meng came to Chen Tao, asked about the location of Qingmu City, declined Chen Tao's kindness to lead the way, and embarked on the journey of the process alone.

Out of the valley of shuangniu mountain, Zhang Meng saw that there was no one left or right, so he recognized the direction and began to speed up. He wanted to arrive at Qingmu city earlier and carry out his big business of making money.

Qingmu city is not far from the stronghold, about fifty or sixty miles. If Zhang Meng runs with all his strength, it will take three or two seconds, but he doesn't know the way. He can only walk and stop, identify the direction, and then move on.

However, after walking for nearly an hour, Zhang Meng didn't see the shadow of Qingmu city. He couldn't help being a little strange. Needless to say, Qingmu city is only 50 or 60 miles away from the stronghold. Even if it is 100 miles away, it's time to arrive now.

Zhang Meng had no choice but to climb a high mountain and the highest tree on the top of the mountain. He looked around and regretted that he seemed to be lost.

There are rolling mountains everywhere. There is no shadow of a town.

What bothers Zhang Meng most is that he doesn't even know the way back.

Just when Zhang Meng had a headache, suddenly, he heard a burst of footsteps, mixed with the voices of several people.

"Childe, we'd better go back. Now, we've crossed the border. If we go on, I'm afraid I'll meet the enemy!"

"Lao Luo, what are you afraid of? Even if you encounter those enemies, there is nothing to be afraid of. With our martial arts, there must be no problem. Don't worry!"

"Young master..."

"Lao Luo, if you want to talk again, I'll be angry!"

The young master's words really worked. Sure enough, there was no voice in the woods, only the sound of brushing footsteps.

Zhang Meng was overjoyed when he heard someone talking. He jumped down from the tree and ran to the sound of footsteps.

However, because he was overjoyed, his strength under his feet was a little stronger, and Zhang Meng threw himself directly on a big tree.

With a click, the big tree half a meter thick was directly broken by Zhang Meng.

The sound of the tree falling was loud. After hearing the sound, several people across the street were startled. They immediately stopped and looked in the direction of the tree falling.

One of them, a big man in leather armor, hurried to the front and blocked the two young CHILDES. At the same time, he kept looking around.

Just then, Zhang Meng appeared in their sight.

Seeing Zhang Meng, the man in leather armor immediately pulled out the matching knife at his waist and shouted loudly.

"Who's ahead?"

Zhang Meng hurriedly replied, "I'm from Erniu mountain stronghold. I'm lost and want to ask for a way."

While talking, Zhang Meng was also looking at each other.

The man who asked, with a bow and several arrows on his back and a cold shining sword in his hand, couldn't help looking at himself.

Zhang Meng is only 18 years old this year, and his appearance is not so powerful. At first glance, he is an ordinary man with little combat effectiveness.

Seeing Zhang Meng's appearance, the leather man was relieved, but he thought of the sound of the fallen tree just now and hurriedly asked again.

"What was the sound just now?"

Zhang Meng scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

"I accidentally broke that tree just now."

When the man in leather armor heard the speech, his heart relaxed and became nervous again. When he was about to ask again, a young childe behind him had come to him quickly.

Seeing this, the man was about to stop, but he was stopped by the young childe.

The young gentleman looked at Zhang Meng and asked with a smile.

"Are you from Dawu?"

Zhang Meng nodded, which he knew.

"You knocked down that tree just now?"

Zhang Meng nodded again.

"How did you bring down that tree?"

Zhang Meng thought for a moment and made a collision posture on his side, explaining.

"I knocked it down."

The young gentleman smiled and nodded, then asked.

"So you should have great strength!"

Zhang Meng thought and nodded.

Great strength, no shame!

"Do you want to earn some gold coins?"

Zhang Meng nodded at once when he heard the speech.

Didn't he come out this time just to get some food and gold coins?

Seeing that Zhang Meng agreed, the young childe smiled more.

He clapped his hands and said with a smile, "what I asked you to do is actually quite simple. Follow us to hunt. After you catch the prey, you will carry it on our back. You say this job is not simple!"

Zhang Meng also nodded. The job was really simple, but he still asked.

"How much is the reward?"

The young gentleman thought for a moment and stretched out a finger, "ten gold coins?"

Zhang Meng turned and left.

This guy is so insincere. He looked around in the tree just now. I'm afraid he needs to go a long way to get out of this mountain forest, but this guy only gave ten gold coins. It's really stingy!

Seeing that Zhang Meng was leaving, the young childe shouted again, "twenty gold coins!"

Zhang Meng heard the speech, stopped, turned and looked at the young childe, and stretched out a finger.

"A thousand gold coins!"

Anyway, it's asking for a price. Zhang Meng will be cruel. It's a big deal that the other party will bargain again!

Hearing Zhang Meng's asking price, the young childe suddenly smoked at the corner of his mouth. Some couldn't believe looking at Zhang Meng. After a long time, he said.

"Do you know how many people I can hire for a thousand gold coins?"

Zhang shook his head violently. He really didn't know. He had been in the stronghold for three days and hadn't seen what gold coins looked like!
