The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 58

"Brother Pei? This is you?"

After confirming again and again that the "coiling snake dragging a wolf" boy in front of him was Pei Wende, Zhang Chusheng made no secret of his surprise and shock.

"Are you planning to change your career? Are you going to be a hunter?"

In fact, it is no wonder that Zhang Chusheng has such doubts.

He hasn't seen him for a long time since Wen Wende dropped out of school a year ago.

Zhang Chusheng felt that with Pei Wende's character and ability, even if he really changed his career to become a hunter someday, he would not find anything strange.

"hunt?"

After being reminded by Zhang Chusheng, Pei Wende realized that his current image seemed a bit too "exaggerated".

"No, no, I'm just going down the mountain to do some shopping, and I'm going to ask this wolf for a little favor."

First, he let go of his right hand that was holding on to the wolf's tail, and then reached out to support the little green snake around his neck. Pei Wende said in a very calm tone.

"But this guy is really too timid."

"The one who promised to help me only helped half of it and wanted to slip away. I could only drag it here like this."

Although he had tried his best to ignore the flaws in Pei Wende's words, Zhang Chusheng couldn't help complaining when he saw the lone wolf's aggrieved appearance but did not dare to run away.

"Brother Pei, let's not talk about how you 'discussed' with this wolf before, but it is obviously unwilling now!"

When Zhang Chusheng said this, he clearly saw that lone wolf cast a grateful look at him, as if he was saying that someone was finally willing to say something fair for me.

As for why this lone wolf can understand what he said?
And why is there such a human performance?
Although Zhang Chusheng, who was just a child, felt a little miraculous, he didn't show too much fear and fear.

In other words, Zhang Chusheng felt that any strange things happened to Pei Wende were normal, and it was not worth panicking and fearing at all.

After all, when he was studying in a private school, Pei Wende was known as "Crazy Pei" and "Pei Daudao". If anything abnormal happened, there was absolutely nothing wrong with finding Pei Wende.

"And the snake on your neck, is that Zhuyeqing?"

"I remember my father said that this kind of snake is poisonous. Is it really okay for you to coil like this?"

Hearing this, Pei Wende immediately patted his chest and promised.

"Of course no problem. I've discussed with this green snake. It won't take the initiative to attack others."

As if responding to Pei Wende's statement, the little green snake wrapped around his neck suddenly looked up at Zhang Chusheng. The indifferent eyes made him feel as if he was in the cold winter in the north.

——This is an existence that I can't afford to provoke!

As soon as such an idea popped up in his mind, Zhang Chusheng quickly shifted his gaze, and by the way, changed the topic.

"Brother Pei, last time you told me the method of 'commodity drainage', I tried it out during this period, and it is indeed very effective."

"Two days ago, I went to the town to buy some things in bulk for the Ghost Festival."

"The result is the same as what you said. Not only did the store give me a discount, but the people in the village saw that I sold it cheaply, so they all bought it directly from me."

Speaking of this, Zhang Chusheng made no secret of his childish nature, and ostentatiously told Pei Wende about his "great achievements" in the past few days.

"Although I sold at the cost price, the things I needed for the Ghost Festival didn't make any money. Instead, I posted the travel expenses I earned some time ago."

"But when everyone in the village was shopping, they also bought pork slaughtered by my father, so if you really count these days, you have actually made a lot of money."

Or to be more precise, due to Zhang Chusheng's "low-price dumping" strategy, even those traveling merchants and butchers who planned to make a fortune on the Ghost Festival gave up the village decisively.

This has caused Butcher Zhang to be so happy these days that he can hardly close his mouth from ear to ear. This is the first time he has enjoyed the dividends brought by this "business monopoly".

The only thing that makes Zhang Chusheng feel regretful is that before that, he never thought that this "commodity drainage" method was so effective, so he stocked up a little less.

Fortunately, Zhangjia Village itself is not very big, and most people worship the ancestors of the same line, so there is not much conflict in this regard.

He even held the idea of ​​"this money can't be earned by outsiders no matter what".

Some old people in Zhangjia Village even cursed them for their sinister intentions of raising prices in front of the traveling merchants, and drove them out of the village.

"No wonder you have grown stronger during this time, it seems that the food is good!"

He reached out and patted Zhang Chusheng's shoulder. Pei Wende never thought that this kid would be able to achieve such a level of business with just a few words of nonsense.

In the 21st century in the future, a child of Zhang Chusheng's age would probably still be coquettish and awkward with his parents!
But considering the limitations of this era, Pei Wende is quite clear.

It is one thing for children from poor families to be in charge of the family early. On the other hand, it is also because children of Zhang Chusheng's age have actually reached the age when they are gradually bearing the burden of the family.

After all, this era is not like the 21st century. The average life expectancy is so short that future humans can hardly imagine.

At least among the people that Pei Wende came into contact with, except for the upper-class gentry, the humans living in this era were generally weak and sickly, with short lifespans.

Confucius once said that at thirty one stands upright, at forty one is not confused, at fifty one knows the destiny of heaven, at sixty one listens to one's ear, and at seventy one follows one's heart's desires.

In the 21st century, Pei Wende didn't feel much about this sentence.

Because at that time, it was a normal thing for people to live to 70 years old.

On the contrary, if there are no other unexpected factors, it is a real surprise that people at that time did not live to the age of 70.

However, in this ancient Chinese society, the reality is somewhat different from what he imagined.

At least in Pei Wende's 16 years of life experience, he has seen too many people with gray hair at the age of 40 and old people at the age of 50.

This is still in this peaceful era. If born in troubled times, the average life expectancy of normal people will be shorter and their physique will be worse.

"Hey, the main reason is that my mother is afraid that I will be tired from studying, so she secretly gives me extra meals without telling my father."

Although the "extra meal" in Zhang Chusheng's mouth is just an extra piece of meat the size of a thumb, it is already a rare delicacy for people living in this era.

For an ordinary family, they might not have a few meals of meat all year round.

That is to say, Butcher Zhang is a butcher himself, and he has the powerful skill to go hunting alone, so that he can guarantee the "abnormal" development of his children.
