Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 11 Three Years
"If you keep going into the mountains, your body won't be able to recover. You need to rest for at least two days each time you go into the mountains."

Mr. Jiang Cong said earnestly.

It is indeed very dangerous to go into the mountains. There are all kinds of deadly dangers in the mountains, and those ferocious beasts are secondary. If you are unlucky and get bitten by a poisonous insect, you are basically dead.

After entering the mountains, the hunters are always in a highly nervous state. Going into the mountains, hunting, and bringing the prey out of the mountains is a huge test of their physical strength, skills, and spirit.

That's why Jiang Cong was so worried.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll just go around the old Jiang Road and make some money to get through the winter."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Besides, we will have Xiaotian in the future. Xiaotian can smell any danger with just one sniff, so it will be much safer."

"Wang-"

Xiaotian echoed from the side.

"Hey"

Old man Jiang Cong sighed and said with emotion: "Grandpa is just worried that something will happen to you."

There are currently only four people in the Jiang family. One is the elderly Jiang Cong, one is Silang's father, who has disabled legs and is bedridden, and the other are the two young children, Jiang Yue and Jiang Silang.

The mountains are extremely dangerous. If anything happens to either Jiang Yue or Jiang Silang, Jiang Cong will not be able to accept it.

But hunting tax must be paid next month, and winter is about to arrive. Once the heavy snow falls, anyone who goes into the mountains will die. If you can't earn enough silver before the snow falls, you won't be able to survive the winter.

In the past few years, Jiang Cong was in good health and went into the mountains every few days, barely surviving a few winters.

His health is really not good this year.

Jiang Yue is fine, but Jiang Cong is worried about Jiang Yue's safety.

Mr. Jiang Cong was in a complicated mood. He stared at the sky blankly and finally sighed: "Be sure to pay attention to safety."

"Yes, Grandpa!"

"Well, be careful to identify the caterpillar's feces and claw marks. Once the caterpillar appears outside the Funiushan Mountains, you cannot enter the mountains for half a month. Your father and Shilang's father have both suffered from the caterpillar. Every winter, the caterpillar will come back to patrol the territory."

"I understand, Grandpa. I will pay attention to this."

When Jiang Yue heard the word "big beast", his pupils shrank slightly.

To be honest, he has the ability to hold treasure and lead sheep, is immune to poison, and is incredibly fast. As long as he doesn't stay too long after hunting and the smell of blood does not attract carnivorous beasts from the depths of Funiu Mountain, there will be no safety issues.

There are no carnivorous beasts outside Funiushan Mountain. The top carnivorous beast is like the black panther seen that day. With Xiaotian around, Jiang Yue is confident that he can save his life and even have a chance to fight back.

But it’s hard to say about the big tiger.

If you encounter a big beast, you will definitely die.

Old man Jiang Cong's words reminded Jiang Yue, and he planned to pay close attention to see if there were any traces of big insects every time he went into the mountains.

"Okay, let's go eat."

Old man Jiang Cong patted Jiang Yue on the shoulder and said with relief: "Erlang has grown up and can take care of himself. Grandpa has to rest for three or four days before going into the mountains. If it were just Grandpa, I'm afraid someone in our family would die this winter. Thank you for your hard work, Erlang."

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? If you hadn't raised me, I would have starved to death."

Jiang Yue shook his head, took Xiaotian and followed old man Jiang Cong out of the courtyard. After less than a hundred steps, they arrived at Jiang Cong's house. Silang and Silang's father both lived in the old man's house.

The old man hurried to heat up the wild vegetable rice porridge. Silang's father was lying in bed in the room and no one was around. Silang excitedly started playing with Xiaotian.

The smoke from cooking is curling up and the sunset is red.

The rice porridge tonight was particularly sweet. Jiang Yue ate three or four bowls in a row and a pound of pickled meat. Xiaotian was not picky about food either. He also ate several large bowls of rice porridge and several pounds of pickled meat.

"You two eat so much."

Old man Jiang Cong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

With this kind of appetite, if Erlang didn’t go into the mountains every day, both the man and the dog would starve to death.

But being able to eat is a good thing.

The more you eat, the better your physique will be, and it will be safer when you go into the mountains.

"Erlang, eat more. Xiaotian, eat more too."

The old man smiled and served Jiang Yue a bowl of porridge. After four or five pieces of pickled meat, he poured the remaining pickled meat into Xiaotian's food bowl. Xiaotian ate like crazy and licked the food bowl clean. This time, his life essence did not increase, perhaps because he ate less.

"Erlang, save some money, and you and Silang can go to the county pharmacy to be apprentices."

The old man looked at Jiang Yue wolfing down his food and said with a smile, "The pharmacies are all owned by the wealthy families in the county. They all have martial arts masters. You have a good physique and talent. Maybe you can become his disciple and learn martial arts."

"How much does that cost?"

Jiang Yue stopped eating and asked curiously.

"I heard from Zhao Qi that it would cost about 20 to 30 taels of silver per person, but food and lodging are included."

The old man sighed: "If you work in a pharmacy, you won't have to worry about food and clothing, and you won't have to wander around in this dangerous mountain. Grandpa can die with peace of mind."

Jiang Yue nodded, not knowing what he was thinking.

Silang was confused and knew nothing.
-
The next morning, Jiang Yue took Xiaotian through Wandouao and entered Funiu Mountain.

Jiang Yue was silently calculating along the way.

Winter would come in a month, so we had to hunt more to earn money to buy rice, and preferably a few more warm clothes and quilts. Then we had to save up enough money to pay for the tuition for two people to be apprentices at the county pharmacy.

The pharmacy was run by a wealthy family, and the family's security guards knew martial arts, which Jiang Yue was very eager to do.

After a while, after walking twenty miles of mountain road, Jiang Yue and Xiaotian arrived at the Stinky Vine Cave.

This time, Jiang Yue carried two bows, three iron arrows, ten wooden arrows, and the jade pendant with the word "Yue" left by his mother.

He stored all these things in the stinky vine cave to prevent them from being stolen at home. He had to bring Xiaotian with him when he went into the mountains on weekdays, and he had nothing to guard the house.

After putting the things away, Jiang Yue took Xiaotian and set off again.

Just like last time, we explored along the old Jiang family road, looking for treasures, and the final destination was Kuoyeyuan.

Xiaotian's nostrils twitched along the way, and soon he started biting Jiang Yue's trouser leg.

"You want me to follow you?"

"Wang-"

Jiang Yue reacted quickly and followed Xiaotian closely, heading west. After walking three or four miles along the mountain road, a stream suddenly appeared in front of him. After walking a few hundred steps along the stream, a peach forest suddenly appeared.

The ground was littered with rotten, half-eaten peaches, which had obviously been destroyed by the monkeys. There were only two peaches left on the trees in the entire peach forest. They were plump and juicy, and were probably just ripe, so they escaped the looting.

As his nostrils twitched, Jiang Yue could sense that the peach was emitting a strange sweet scent.

"Wang Wang Wang-"

Xiaotian shouted hurriedly and jumped back and forth under the tree.

"Let me do it."

Jiang Yue moved, climbed up the peach tree in no time, and picked a peach.

The moment he picked the peach, Jiang Yue was stunned.

【Time + 1 years】

【Time: 2.51 years】

One peach actually earns a whole year's worth of time!
Jiang Yue quickly jumped down, climbed up another tree, and picked another plump and juicy peach.

【Time + 1 years】

【Time: 3.51 years】

"Ha ha!"

Jiang Yue was so happy that he couldn't help laughing out loud.

It has only been three days since I entered the mountain, and I have gained three years of time, so I can carry out another round of deductions.

Although it is possible to deduce in one day, it is of no use. The improvement is far less than that of spending several years on deduction, so Jiang Yue has been saving it up.

He originally thought that he could save up three years' worth of money by saving up for ten days or half a month, but he never expected that he could do it in just three days!
