I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Chapter 23: Big Plan

Zhang Yuan stayed in Linhe County for three days.

During these three days, Zhang Yuan mainly accompanied his mother to adapt to the living environment in the city and get familiar with the situation around Maiyu Lane.

In addition, Zhang Yuan also bought her a batch of materials for making cloth shoes.

Zhang's mother is a person who can't sit still.

The day after moving into the new home, she told Zhang Yuan that she wanted to find some work to do to supplement the family income.

She wants to continue making straw sandals.

This made Zhang Yuan feel a little amused and helpless.

But he could fully understand his mother's thoughts and ideas.

It is obviously not appropriate to just make straw sandals here. You know, in the past, the straw sandals made by Zhang's mother in the village were sold at the market outside the county town to make a meager profit.

People in the city wore cloth shoes and leather boots.

It is most suitable for making cloth shoes.

After buying a house, settling down her household registration, and returning to her familiar job, Zhang's mother finally felt settled.

And Zhang Yuan went to Qianfeng Mountain again.

There was no way out. He had spent all his savings and was in debt.

If the loan from the pawnshop is not repaid as soon as possible, and the principal and interest combined exceed the value of the house, the pawnshop will take away the house that has just been purchased.

Zhang Yuan also needs more source material to speed up the growth of the host.

In addition, there is still an empty cell in the God's Nest. Finding a third host will undoubtedly greatly enhance his strength.

So it is impossible to lie flat!

After entering the deep mountains, Zhang Yuan met up with Yagui in a familiar manner, and came to the cliff where he had hunted the mountain sheep.

Yagui is carefully selected and as reliable as ever.

Zhang Yuan saw a group of mountain goats climbing the rock wall at a glance.

Without further ado, he once again displayed his magical stone-throwing skills and knocked down two large mountain goats with five stones in one breath!

After dragging down the spoils, Zhang Yuan performed a belly-opening operation as usual to take out the internal organs and offer them to Yagui for his enjoyment.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuan returned to the rock wall and began a carpet search.

This area of ​​cliffs is very large, the mountains are very high, and the terrain is complex with strange rocks and abrupt shapes.

Since we can find a high-year rock ginseng, it is very likely that we can find a second and a third one...

Is the few dozen taels of silver borrowed still a big deal?

Since it was a matter of making money, Zhang Yuan searched extremely carefully, not missing any crevice suitable for the growth of rock ginseng.

As the saying goes, hard work pays off.

After searching on the steep rock wall for half an hour, he found a rock ginseng that was about twenty years old!
Moreover, there was no black-horned viper guarding this rock ginseng. It was probably out foraging or was scared away.

At least twenty taels of silver!
Zhang Yuan was very happy and became more motivated.

"quack!"

But when he dug out another ten-year-old rock ginseng, the crow below suddenly called twice.

There was a warning in the voice.

Zhang Yuan was shocked and quickly returned to the foot of the cliff.

The crow didn't say anything, but just flapped its wings and threw a black feather to him.

Zhang Yuan understood immediately.

The crow was reminding him to stop and not to drain the pond to catch fish!

Zhang Yuan bowed to Yagui and said, "Thank you, Brother Ya."

Then he tied up the ibex, carried it on his shoulders, and returned to the outside of the mountain with Heiyu.

After Heiyu disappeared, Zhang Yuan sacrificed the two ibex with their internal organs removed on the spot.

Obtain 1.7 Essence.

Without any hesitation, he put all the source materials into the second nest cell and fed them to the jade mantis!
After touching the two rock ginsengs hidden in his arms, Zhang Yuan looked at the sky again. It was still early.

He thought for a moment and walked towards Chenjia Village.

Zhang Yuan has no intention of giving up his home in the village for the time being.

Even if it is not used as a residence, it is very suitable as a stopover for hunting in the mountains.

The county seat is far away from Qianfeng Mountain.

He set out before dawn in the morning, and started his journey when the city gate had just opened. He then went into the mountains to where Yagui was, and it took him nearly two hours to walk.

In comparison, Chenjia Village is much closer.

This way, if you come back late, you don’t have to take the risk of running back to the county town.

Moreover, the county gates will be closed at night and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

As for his mother's safety, Zhang Yuan was not worried.

The security in the county town is good, and he left Dahu there to watch over the house. Any petty thief would never get any good result in front of this mountain guard dog!
Three days later, everything was back to normal in my hometown.

But a neighbor lady saw Zhang Yuan and asked in surprise: "Yuan, you're back?"

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Yes."

The aunt glanced at the deserted Zhang family and asked, "What about your mother?"

Zhang Yuan said depressedly: "My mother is not in good health. She got sick after the hard journey, so she can only stay at a relative's house for a while and come back after she recovers."

"So this is ah."

The aunt's face was full of sympathy: "Then why don't you stay over there with your mother?"

“I have to make money!”

Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not good to eat and drink for free at my relatives' house. I plan to hunt more prey when I come back and earn some money to buy medicine for my mother's medical treatment."

"Oh!"

The aunt slapped her thigh and said, "Yuan Wa, you don't know yet, do you?"

"Mr. Chen spread the news the day before yesterday that he wanted to recruit young men from the village to build roads. He would give them money and food, and the treatment was very good!"

Zhang Yuan was surprised: "Build a road? What road?"

“The way into the mountains!”

The neighbor pointed to Qianfeng Mountain and said excitedly, "It is said that they are going to build a mountain road 20 to 30 miles long. Those who are willing to participate will be given a pound of rice and 50 coins every day, and breakfast and dinner are also included!"

Her eyes sparkled. "And Master Chen also said that if you do a good job you can be exempted from corvée next year!"

Zhang Yuan felt something was wrong: "Building a road into the mountains? Aren't you afraid of the weirdness in the mountains?"

Except for a few daring herbalists and hunters, very few people dare to venture into the depths of Qianfeng Mountain.

Because everyone knows that there are tricks in the mountains, and if you encounter them, your life or death is unpredictable.

Over the past few hundred years, many villagers of Chenjia Village have gone into the mountains and have never been seen since then.

If Zhang Yuan had not been forced into a corner, he would not have risked going into the mountains to hunt.

The fact that he didn't die and even ran into Yagui was simply a stroke of luck!

Even the children in the village know that the mountains are a taboo place, so how could the villagers be bribed by Mr. Chen?

Although money and food are good, you must be alive to enjoy them!

The aunt smiled and said, "Mr. Chen said that he has invited the statue of the Linhe City God. By then, the strange things will be warded off and the evil spirits will not come near. It will be very safe!"

Statue of Linhe City God!

Zhang Yuan couldn't believe his ears.

How could Mr. Chen have such good fortune that he could have the means to invite the statue of the City God to take charge?
With such abilities, why did you move from the county town to Chenjia Village?
What is the other party’s purpose in building the mountain road?
The more Zhang Yuan thought about it, the more frightened he became.

He suddenly remembered the treasure map taped to his chest - could it be related to the treasure in Qianfeng Mountain?
The neighbor aunt said again: "Yuanwaer, if you want to participate, then hurry up and go to Chen's house to sign up, otherwise it will be difficult to get in when the quota is full!"

Zhang Yuan calmed himself down and said with a smile, "I understand. Thank you, Auntie."

Regardless of whether Mr. Chen is after the treasure hidden in the mountains, he must have great ambitions.

His previous premonition was correct!
