Chapter 29 Harvest!

Book?
Wei Zheng raised his eyebrows and took the thread-bound book full of blood smell handed over by the village chief.

I saw that this thread-bound book with a blue background had already been turned over and looked extremely old. It can be seen that the owner of the original book must have turned it over frequently.

Holding it in my hand, I was hit by the smell of a mixture of fishy smell and sweat.

"A hundred ways to drive away beasts?"

Wei Zheng pondered and slowly read out the four big characters on the book.

Only then did he recall that the refugee from Liangzhou actually drove a wild wolf to bite the boy.

So there is such a skill?Can you drive beasts to fight for you?

Although the village chief was illiterate, he was not deaf, and he seemed suddenly enlightened when he heard the words.

"Yes, when I was young, I heard from the elders in the village that Liangzhou is a poor place with many mountains and little land, and there are many wild animals. Many hunters have a way to drive wild animals to help them hunt. Today When I saw it, it turned out to be true!”

The old village chief murmured to himself, looking past Wei Zheng and towards the majestic Xiaozhoushan outside the window.

"My dear, if you learn this method and drive wild beasts to hunt with light, you won't be short of meat in the future, right?"

This is a good thing.

Wei Zheng was secretly happy and accepted the thread-bound book without any further refusal.

When the village chief saw that Wei Zheng accepted the book, he felt relieved. In any case, he could have a little relationship with Wei Zheng.

Relationship, isn't it just that you help me and I help you pull it out?

Even though he was an old man, he couldn't understand this method of driving away beasts. Even if he could understand it, he would only have a few years to live. Could it be that when he was about to die, he would let wild beasts come to his funeral?
When the village chief saw that Wei Zheng liked him, he didn't bother him too much. After greeting him for a few more words, he led a group of villagers and dispersed in twos and threes.

In the small room, Wei Zheng was leaning on the bed, flipping through the dirty and smelly books in his hands.

The book is not thick, only about the thickness of a knuckle, but Wei Zheng finished reading it in half an hour.

The habits and characteristics of wild animals recorded in this book are quite interesting.

However, Wei Zheng just browsed through it hastily and stuffed the book into the straw under the bed.

The book is a good book, but now my focus is not on this matter.

Let’s talk about being promoted to the inner court disciple as soon as possible.
Looking at the drafty thatched house above his head, Wei Zheng couldn't help but murmur to himself.

There are too many things to do now.

Not only must they be promoted to disciples in the inner courtyard as soon as possible, but they must also save some money as soon as possible. It is getting colder and colder in autumn. After all, this small drafty hut is not suitable for the two of them to live for a long time.

I still have to save money to live in the city.

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng felt his head grow bigger.

Compared to Wei Zheng's boredom, Bai Ling'er was extremely happy.

Her face was flushed, the corners of her mouth were curled up in a nice way, and she was packing up the supplies sent by the villagers.

"They all call you Brother Zheng now."

Bai Ling'er poured the rice from the rice bag into the rice vat and looked at the spiked rice in the rice vat with a smile.

"This tank of rice is enough for us to eat for the whole winter. Oh, and there is also oil... This is good stuff."

Bai Ling'er was extremely happy. Her man showed off all his prestige in the village today. There were dozens of men in the village, but he was not as good as one man.

Bai Ling'er took her hand out of the rice vat and nodded the hairpin on her head. Listening to the sound of the small silver chain shaking on the hairpin, she felt warm in her heart.

Not long after, a strong fragrance of rice filled the hut.Two bowls of waterless rice were brought to the table by Bai Ling'er. On the small table, there was also a plate of radish and pickles cut into small cubes.

There is little land in Xiaotang Village and the soil is barren. Even during the Chinese New Year, it is rare for the village to have a solid meal.

The rice was on the table, and when Wei Zheng was about to eat with the medicinal food sent by his senior brother, he heard a hoarse creaking sound from the broken door, and a young man stumbled into the house and knelt on the ground with a plop?
"Brother Zheng! I want to hang out with you!"

The young man lowered his head, his arms were hung by burlap cloth, and blood was constantly seeping from the wounds.

It was the boy who was bitten by a wild wolf at the entrance of the village.

Wei Zheng frowned and signaled Bai Ling'er to dig a bowl of rice for the boy.

Looking at the fragrant rice in front of him, the young man swallowed hard and stared straight at Wei Zheng.

"Brother Zheng, I don't eat rice, so I just want to hang out with you. My name is Chen Sheng, my father is dead, and it's boring for me to live alone. I think Brother Zheng is a hero, so I just want to hang out with you! Anyway, it's my fate. Ichijo, you might as well follow Brother Zheng and secure your future!"

"I'm not a gang member, what's the use of following me?"

Wei Zheng smiled softly and did not answer the boy's words. He took a big mouthful of rice and put it into his mouth, chewing it carefully.

"Eat this bowl of rice, go home and recuperate, and don't mention this again in the future."

The young man was stunned, then looked at the rice rising on the stool in front of him. He stretched out his hand and put the rice into his mouth in big gulps.

After devouring the bowl of rice, Chen Sheng wiped his mouth with firm eyes.

"I have eaten Brother Zheng's food, and I will be Brother Zheng's from now on! Even if Brother Zheng asks me to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will do it!"

Wei Zheng was speechless for a while. This Chen Sheng was just like his father in this way.

But then I thought about it, I will basically stay in the martial arts gym every day from now on, and it is a good thing to have such a person in the village who can take care of me.

Wei Zheng recalled that at the entrance of the village, the villagers were trembling with fear. Only Chen Sheng dared to fight the refugees hysterically, and he was indeed much better than the cowards in the village.

"Okay, okay, look like a scoundrel." Wei Zheng shook his head impatiently and pointed at the wall opposite.

Although most of the holes in the earthen wall have been covered with mud, there are still many gaps. When the east wind blows late at night, cold air will seep into the gaps.

Although she could bear it, Bai Ling'er's body was weak and it would be bad if she got cold.

"Then tomorrow, put some mud on it and seal all the cracks in the wall. We won't be here at noon, so you can look after the house at my house. You can eat the rice in the rice vat, but don't waste it."

"Yes!"

Chen Sheng's eyes lit up, but then he awkwardly pointed to his bandaged arm.

"Brother, I'm a housekeeper. I'm just putting up walls... now I'm..."

"Can I still make you suffer?" Wei Zheng chuckled, walked to the bed, and picked up the yellow-skinned gourd on the bedside.

After shaking it, half of the medicine was left inside.

Wei Zheng threw it to the young man casually.

"This is the medicinal food in the martial arts school. You can heat it up in a casserole and drink it when you go home. It is very effective in the recovery of the body." Wei Zheng said and took out another large sum of money from his pocket.

"Take this big money and go to Uncle Biao to buy some medicinal materials to treat injuries."

"Yes! Brother!" Chen Sheng's eyes were bright and his face was filled with joy.

"That's right." Just when Chen Sheng was happily holding the broken gourd and was about to walk out, Wei Zheng's voice came from the room again.

"Remember to add more water to this medicinal meal. Don't drink it right after you take it back. Otherwise, your body won't be able to bear it!"
