Chapter 499 Past Life Fairyland Extra 1
The midwife ran out of the Chen family in a panic and told her husband when she returned home, "It's terrible. The second daughter-in-law of the Chen family gave birth to a monster. You didn't know it. When the baby came out, there was a lin on the back, and it was slippery when touched." It’s so scary that I can’t even look at it.”
"Really?" Wu Si was curious: "Isn't that child from the Chen family conceived by a monster?"
Fourth Aunt Wu patted her chest and said, "Who knows? You don't know that Chen Er's face has turned green."
Wu Si asked: "What about the child? What should his family do with him?"
Monsters are not common nowadays. I wonder how the Chen family got together with a monster?
Wu Si stroked his beard and dreamed a lot.
"What else can we do? Chen Er drowned her into the basin with his own hands. Alas, I didn't even eat the eggs and came back directly." Fourth Aunt Wu felt uncomfortable when she thought of that scene.
The sight of the little baby struggling with its limbs in the water is still vivid in my mind. The Chen family is really cruel.
A few days later, Jiang Sanlang from Jiangjia Village picked up a little baby. It is said that this baby was saved by Jiang Sanlang from the mouth of a small monster.
Since the little baby was naked, Jiang Sanlang took it home in his arms and named it Yingbao.
Jiang Sanlang's wife had not been pregnant for several years. She was very happy when her husband brought back a child with no umbilical cord removed, and he raised her as his own from then on.
Jiangjia Village is located on the edge of the Monster Forest, and all the villagers make a living by collecting elixirs.
However, the village is often harassed by some powerful beasts. They are overwhelmed by the harassment, but they are unable to move away.
But since Jiang Sanlang picked up a baby girl, the village has been very peaceful recently, and those large beasts have not entered the village again, which surprised and delighted the villagers.
Jiang Sanlang also discovered that his little girl had strange abilities. For example, when his wife was carrying her to pick vegetables in the vegetable field, he encountered a very ferocious green wolf. His wife was so frightened that she almost dropped the sickle in her hand.
Just as the green wolf was approaching step by step, the little girl suddenly started crying. She saw the green wolf was stunned, then turned and ran away.
Xu Chunniang was so shocked that she told her husband about the incident when she returned home.
Jiang Sanlang held his daughter and looked at her carefully, and found that there was nothing unusual about her except for the scales on her back.
So Jiang Sanlang thought that the child was born from the human race and the demon race.
He told his wife his guess, and she was pleasantly surprised: "This is very good. We don't have to worry about anyone coming to look for the child in the future."
After Jiang Sanlang noticed the child's abnormality, he spread the child's urine around his own field. From then on, his own field was no longer harmed by wild beasts.
In August of this year, another time of year when the beast tide arrived, everyone in the village fled the village. When the village chief saw that the three Jiang brothers had not left, he came to inquire.
“Dalang, Erlang, Sanlang, if you want to pick up the leaks, you must have your life to catch them. Evacuate with us as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late.” The clan leader kindly advised.
Jiang Dalang looked at his third brother, "Sanlang, what do you say?"
Jiang Sanlang looked at the girl in his arms and said softly: "Baoer, how about you go with your mother first, and I will go later, okay?"
Even though his little girl is only six months old, she can understand human speech and express herself through laughter and tears.
Sure enough, Ying Bao opened her mouth and burst into tears, holding on to Jiang Sanlang's lapel with her little hands.
When Jiang Erlang saw this, he quickly said: "Ying Bao, can you stay with your father and uncles?"
Yingbao immediately burst into laughter and waved her little hands to pat her father's chest.
That means, as if to appease her father.
The village chief was shocked and had no choice but to say: "Then if you want to do it, just take the children and hide in the cellar."
The tide of beasts every year is dangerous, but there are also opportunities, such as picking up low-level beasts that the monks did not want after killing them.
With good luck, you can pick up one or two spiritual beasts. When the time comes, you can sell them to the city and get a lot of money.
As long as you save 20,000 gold, which is two hundred spirit stones, you can get a city household registration. Although it belongs to one person, it can also allow your children to live in the city, and can also attend schools in the city and learn to practice. method.
But no one in Jiangjia Village has saved enough 20,000 gold in fifty years, which also means that no one can go to the city to practice immortal magic.
Those who went to the city before moved their families to the city and never came back. Naturally, they themselves could not take advantage of it.
“We will be careful, don’t worry, clan leader.” Jiang Sanlang said, “I will ask you to take care of my parents, nieces and nephews.”
Originally, he wanted to stay by himself and let his wife and daughter evacuate to the city with his elder sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and parents, but the little daughter kept crying and kept holding on to him. Her little hands were stronger than vise pliers, and she almost tore off his clothes. Catch bad.
In the final analysis, I also had selfish motives, so I left my daughter behind.
Some time ago, he saved a lot of baby urine, and he was planning to give it a try during the animal epidemic. If he succeeded, he would be able to save enough money to buy a household registration.
When the time comes, let the wife take her daughter to live in the city, so that she no longer has to worry about staying here.
Seeing the stubbornness of the Jiang family, the patriarch shook his head, turned around and left.
Watching the clan leader leave, the Jiang brothers immediately put away their belongings. They hid the grain and water hyacinth in the cellar, moved some firewood in, and put all the quilts and other things into the cellar.
This tide of beasts has been here for more than two months. When the first snow falls in winter, they begin to return to the forest one after another, so food, water, and things to keep out the cold are essential.
But there are also disadvantages to staying in the cellar. Many monsters have better noses than dogs. They can smell the breath of living people. Even if they dig up the ground, they still want to catch humans and eat them. This is why the village chief and others dare not stay. .
On the third day of August, Xu Chunniang made a lot of wheat flour steamed buns before the tide of monsters arrived. She also plucked all the vegetables from the vegetable patch at home and put them into the cellar. She also cut a jar of pickles and put them together with the steamed buns.
In the past few days, Jiang Sanlang has moved a lot of wood into the cellar and covered the cellar entrance tightly, leaving only a small entrance and exit.
Even so, Chun Niang felt very uneasy. She stood at the door of the courtyard with her daughter in her arms and looked out.
You can vaguely see some small beasts escaping from the forest, but they always bypass Jiang's house and run into the distance.
On August 10th, tall beasts appeared one after another. When they ran nearby, they shook the ground.
Chunniang hugged her daughter and husband and hid in the cellar, her heart beating so fast that it jumped into her throat.
It was also the first time that she felt the power of the beast tide, and asked her husband in a low voice: "Sanlang, what should I do if a beast comes to dig the cellar?"
Jiang Sanlang listened to the noise outside and whispered comfortingly: "It's okay, none of those giant beasts have entered our property. It seems that my daughter's urine can restrain them."
He glanced at his little girl and saw her eyes narrowed when she was smiling. He sighed, touched her head and said, "Dad couldn't help you, so Bao'er was put in danger."
Yingbao was babbling and talking, and wiped her saliva on her father's sleeve.
On August 15th, the outside was filled with the howls of various wild beasts, which frightened Chun Niang to the point where her face turned pale.
Jiang San ate steamed buns with pickles and patted his wife on the shoulder to comfort her silently.
At this time, the beast outside smelled the strange smell around Jiang's house, howled a few times, stepped back and slowly walked around.
Many cubs do not know the truth, and when they occasionally step into the Jiang family's fields, they are driven back by the adults.
Jiang Dalang opened a corner of the cellar and peeked at this scene, and felt it was magical.
Is the little niece really the child of some great demon? Why are all the giant beasts afraid of her urine?
He was suddenly relieved of his original anxiety and became bolder. He called his second brother, who lived in the same cellar with him, to tell him what he saw.
Jiang Erlang also felt it was magical, and immediately climbed along the corridor to his third brother and told him what his eldest brother saw.
When Jiang Sanlang heard this, he immediately became energetic and handed two diapers to his eldest and second brothers: "Let's go out and walk around. Maybe we can pick up spiritual herbs."
Many spiritual beasts from deep forests, such as flying kangaroos, will hide some spiritual fruits and elixirs in their bags. As long as you catch them, you will make a fortune. But these spiritual beasts are very cunning and good at disguise. Some like to hide under the belly of giant beasts.
Jiang Erlang took the diaper from his little niece and stuffed it into his belt without dissatisfying it.
So Jiang Sanlang asked his eldest brother to stay in the cellar, and he went out with his second brother.
Of course, they were fully prepared. They wore a big furry dog skin on their bodies, dog skin muffs on their limbs, and dog head hats on their heads.
Out of the yard, Jiang Erlang saw densely packed ferocious beasts not far away, and his legs were trembling.
But the arrow had to be fired when it was on the string, so the two brothers bravely walked towards the giant beast.
The giant beast sniffed its nose, took a few steps back as they approached, and looked at the difference between the two in confusion.
Seeing that they did not attack, Jiang Sanlang was half relieved and began to look for the little flying squirrel.
They searched for the giant beasts around, but found nothing.
Jiang Sanlang was a little frustrated and had to retreat.
They dare not leave their home too far because Chun Niang and Ying Bao are still in the cellar.
A few days later, they still found nothing useful and did not dare to hunt monsters. They could only hide in the cellar and wait for the opportunity.
Soon, immortal cultivators will come to hunt monsters and beasts, and it won’t be too late to go out and pick them up.
In September, the wild beasts became more and more violent and destroyed all the thatched houses in the village. Only a few thatched houses of the Jiang family were not approached by the beasts, but some giant beasts began to come here tentatively.
When Jiang Sanlang saw this, his heart suddenly sank.
Did they realize something?
Thinking of his wife and daughter, he immediately regretted it.
Had he known better, he should not have trusted him. If his greed killed his whole family, he would not be able to atone for his sins even if he entered the eighteenth level of hell.
Looking at Ying Bao again, she was listening to something with her ears raised. Suddenly she quickly crawled towards Jiang Sanlang, climbed on top of him and screamed.
Jiang Sanlang picked up his daughter and asked worriedly: "What does Bao'er want to do?"
Ying Bao blinked and pointed to the cellar door above with her little hand: "Ah! Ah!"
Jiang Sanlang looked towards the cellar entrance and asked, "Does Bao'er want to go out?"
Yingbao nodded.
Jiang Sanlang and his daughter looked at each other for a few breaths, sighed, wrapped a cloth belt around his chest, and climbed up the ladder.
Chun Niang was anxious and asked, "Where are you taking Bao'er?"
Before Jiang Sanlang could speak, Ying Bao waved to A Niang and turned to look at the entrance of the cave.
"Chun Niang, I'll take Bao'er up to have a look. Just stay down and wait." Jiang Sanlang warned and stepped out of the cellar on the ladder.
After picking up a bundle of firewood and covering the entrance of the cellar, Jiang Sanlang walked out of the fenced yard and saw that a wild beast had stepped into his vegetable patch and was having fun, deliberately trampling the fence one by one.
Leng Buding Yingbao yelled in the other direction, his voice was sharp, which startled Jiang Sanlang.
The beast that was stepping on the fence was also stunned, and quickly raised one front hoof, seeming a little at a loss.
Yingbao yelled over there again.
The wild beasts around were stunned, suddenly turned around and ran away.
Jiang Sanlang was stunned.
Because he saw a small beast as big as a hen falling from the belly of a huge beast.
His eyes widened immediately, and he immediately ran over and grabbed the little beast in his hands.
“Flying Squirrel! Spiritual Flying Squirrel!”
Jiang Sanlang was so surprised that he wanted to scream.
He took out a rope of animal sinew that had been prepared from his waist, tied the little beast's feet, and carried it back to the cellar.
Under the illumination of the candle, Jiang Sanlang used tweezers to pluck out the spiritual herbs from the little flying squirrel's bag one by one.
The little flying squirrel's limbs and wings were tied, and its belly was exposed. It screamed angrily when it saw that its food supplies had been stolen by this hateful human being.
Ying Bao was held in Chun Niang's arms and giggled at the anxious look of the little flying squirrel.
Little Flying Squirrel glanced at Yingbao and suddenly stopped barking, looking a little aggrieved.
Ying Bao put her fingers in her mouth, laughing so hard that her mouth watered.
Finally, Jiang Sanlang took out a total of five elixirs and two small elixirs the size of cherries from the little flying squirrel bag.
He handed the two spiritual fruits to his wife Chun Niang, took out the jade box he borrowed from the patriarch's house, and put the five spiritual herbs in it for storage.
Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang flipped through the torn Baicao book to check the names of the spiritual herbs, and found that two of them were mid-level elixirs.
The three brothers were overjoyed. Jiang Dalang chuckled and said, "We have made a fortune this time. Just these two mid-level elixirs can be sold for two thousand gold."
The common people are no better than those cultivating immortals. Most of their currencies are copper coins and gold and silver. If they can get two thousand gold at one time, they are lucky. If they live in the countryside, they can live without worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
But you still can’t go to the city, not only because you are not allowed to buy or rent a house if you have a non-urban household registration, but also because you need money for everything in the city.
It costs money to buy vegetables, water, and even firewood to cook a meal.
Having two thousand gold is actually nothing in the city. If it were really counted, it would only be enough to cover the expenses of a large family for one year.
Jiang Sanlang smiled and picked up the little flying squirrel, "This little spiritual beast can be sold for one thousand gold."
The little flying squirrel was heartbroken and remained motionless, letting humans manipulate it.
Yingbao stretched out her little hand and babbled.
Jiang Erlang smiled and said: "Sanlang, Yingbao likes it very much, just leave it to her to play with."
Jiang Sanlang smiled and touched his daughter's little head, then placed the little flying squirrel in front of her.
Ying Bao broke away from A Niang's arms and threw herself on Little Flying Squirrel. Her fingers were inadvertently brought to Little Flying Squirrel's mouth.
Little Flying Squirrel bit down angrily, biting out blood from Ying Bao's little finger.
"Oops! Bao'er's hand was bitten." Chun Niang quickly picked up her daughter and scolded her husband: "This thing is a beast after all, how can you hand it to Bao'er."
Jiang Sanlang picked up the little flying squirrel and was a little annoyed. He raised his hand to pat it down.
If you dare to bite his daughter, see if he doesn't beat her to death.
