In the village of Wan Shou Mountain, other than the daily farming, where the villagers would save rations and pay taxes, most of their spare time would be spent looking for work. The women would work at home, taking in the soles of their shoes, embroidering the lotus pouches, beating the bamboo sticks, selling them to the peddlers for a few coins, exchanging them for oily and fragrant powder for needlework, and the able-bodied men would go into the mountains to find some mountain goods to sell to the merchants in the town. Those with good skills could even kill pheasants, rabbits, badgers, and deer, giving meat to their family's elderly and children as a toothpick. If this mountain really belonged to someone, then he couldn't just casually go in! If you were discovered by the mountain master, it would be fine if you didn't take the things. At most, they would be expelled, but if you had something in your hand, even if it was a woodfire wild fungus, it could be stolen! In short, all the output of this mountain belonged to the mountain lord. If it was a charity, they wouldn't have said anything. They would have just brought some good stuff to show to their parents. But Zhang Family …
She Miao felt guilty and whispered, "I'm sorry, Uncle Zhang Genji. It's all because of me …"
"No, it's not your business." "It is said that a wandering Taoist walked past here. When he saw the rainbow clouds on the mountain and the faint flow of spiritual energy in the mountain, he said that this place is a treasure trove and a treasure would definitely appear. Then Zhang Family was moved. " Not only were the resources in the mountain rich, there were also springs in the mountain. Even in the year of drought, the plants in the mountain did not wither or die, instead, it could save the lives of the villagers. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a treasure mountain, and its price was not something that an ordinary person could afford.
Presumably, the Zhang Family had come for that treasure, and it was also convenient for him.
As for the treasures …
She glanced guiltily out of the window. Xiao Miaoer was trying very hard to extend her branches and leaves and was greedily absorbing the essence sun and moon energy. Big Yellow was lying next to its roots with a satisfied expression on her face. Her belly was rolling up as she lazily basked in the sunlight.
"Uncle is only here to notify you. I see that your Second Uncle and aunt aren't easy to get along with either, so I have to plan ahead." Chang paused for a moment before hesitating, "She Miao, since that fiance of yours was so protective that day, he must have thought quite highly of you. If not, you should have passed by earlier!" A child's daughter-in-law or something like that wouldn't be pleasant to hear about, but compared to being homeless on the streets, finding a place to settle down as soon as possible was the most realistic idea!
She Miao thanked Li Chang for her good intentions and said that the little fatty had gone to school. She needed to find someone from the town to send a message to him and wait for her reply before she could arrange things.
After sending him off, the young man turned around and entered the room. Unsurprisingly, he saw Little Fatso sitting on a chair with a solemn expression, holding a cup of honey water and drinking to his heart's content.
Judging from his height, he seemed a bit fatter than yesterday.
"You heard it all?" He took the empty bowl from him and set it on the table.
"Yes." I was careless. " It was probably because he had rushed over that day to steal his wife. When he had transformed into his true form, he had caused quite a commotion and had accidentally revealed some traces of himself. The little fatty's expression was wooden as he spoke dryly, "I presume this place is no longer suitable for husband's cultivation. My wife, you should make your plans earlier."
He Miao looked troubled.
Ever since she was born, she had never left her hometown. The furthest she could go was to follow her father to the town to look at lanterns, buy candy, and sell mountain goods.
"Let's ignore the others first and get a guide." The little fatty paused for a moment before he added, "Yours."
"Why don't you use it?" Then, thinking that this guy could turn into a sapling, he closed his mouth again.
The next day, the young man went to find Li Chang to open a road and prove the household register.
She Miao busied herself with packing up and bid farewell to her family and friends. However, after suffering such a huge loss in front of everyone in the village, Zhang Family was holding back his evil idea.
"Master, this old servant heard that the Tian Family girl is in the midst of conducting a tour. She seems to be planning to leave this place." The Zhang Family Overseer bowed and stood in front of the Old Master, and carefully replied.
"That thing that doesn't know how to appreciate favors!" Sure enough, the Master Zhang raised his goatee, and angrily placed the fan he was playing with on the table.
