Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Chapter 14 Return the favor

"Sister-in-law, is brother back yet? I caught a snake in the mountains and will make a [flavored snake] dish for us tonight."

Fang Wei returned home, put the firewood away first, and then walked into the kitchen carrying the dead snake.

"Ah! There's a snake, Manman, take it out quickly."

What he didn't expect was that Fang Tao and Fang Tingting were both in the kitchen at this time.

The two little guys were helping their mother add firewood. When they saw the snake in Fang Wei's hand, they were so scared that they screamed and almost set Tian Guihua's clothes on fire.

"Don't be afraid, the snake in Manman's hand is already dead."

Tian Guihua quickly calmed the two children, then looked at Fang Weiyi with a bit of blame.

Fang Wei felt a little embarrassed. He himself was not afraid of snakes, but he ended up scaring his nephew and niece.

Fang Tao and Fang Tingting refused to stay in the kitchen no matter what, so Tian Guihua took the snake and started to deal with it.

In his previous life, drinking snake blood and snake gall wine was a trend in society for a while, but he never caught a cold.

Snake gallbladder is cool in nature, bitter and slightly sweet in taste, and has the effects of dispelling wind and dampness, cooling and improving eyesight, detoxifying and removing prickly heat. It can be used as medicine after being processed, but it is not good to eat it raw.

"Sister-in-law, please don't break the snake gallbladder. Take it out and keep it safe for me."

"I know, little brother, don't try to catch poisonous snakes in the future. It's very dangerous."

"Yeah, I'll go back first and come back when the meal is ready."

Fang Wei said a few words to Tian Guihua and then returned to his residence.

Now he has 101 points, so he directly upgraded the [Planting Area] to Level 4.

[Owned Land] → [Farmland] → [Planting Area]

【Area: 200 square meters】

[Area Level: (Level 4, 0\500)]

[Regional attributes: drought resistance, flood resistance, disease and pest resistance, accelerated growth, increased production and income]

[Planting in this area increases all attributes by 40%]

【Points: 1】

"Not bad, really good! The area of the planting area has increased to 200 square meters in an instant. My private plot is only 1 mu, and I can designate temporary land later."

Fang Wei took a look at the data and felt very happy.

The land area is fixed, and there is a limited amount of owned land and temporary land. Whether it is owned or temporarily designated, it can only be carried out within this area.

Previously, the area of his planting area was less than 1 mu, but after this upgrade, the area is about 3 mu.

It is naturally impossible to temporarily designate the private plots of my brother and sister-in-law, but the wasteland in the valley can be designated.

Fang Wei rested in the house for a while, then went to his eldest brother's house for dinner. In essence, the two brothers were not separated and still lived together, so he had nothing to be embarrassed about.

Anyway, it's all for show, even though he doesn't really want the clerk position.

"Brother, are you back?"

When I entered the room, I saw Fang Ping. He looked exhausted and had obviously just come in.

"Well, I'm back. Let's talk after dinner."

Fang Ping smiled, a rare occurrence. It looked like this trip had been quite fruitful.

At this time, Tian Guihua brought out a large plate of [Flavor Snake] from the kitchen. There were a lot of chili peppers and garlic in the dish, and it smelled very fragrant.

The family sat down and started eating. Fang Tao and Fang Tingting were sweating profusely while eating, but they couldn't stop.

"This snake is quite large! Third brother, the coral snake is very poisonous. You should be more careful in the future and don't catch it easily."

My eldest brother and his wife also enjoyed the meal very much. Nowadays, people don’t have much fat in their stomachs, so being able to eat some meat is a kind of happiness.

However, they were still worried about Fang Wei's safety and would rather not eat meat than let him take risks.

"I know. I hadn't planned on catching any snakes today, but this coral snake came out of the bushes and bit me, so I had no choice but to catch it and have a snack."

Fang Wei understood that this was well-intentioned, so he didn't argue and changed the subject with a smile. After dinner, Tian Guihua took her two children outside to enjoy the cool air. Fang Ping then took out a rifle and about 100 rounds of ammunition.

"Type 38 rifle!"

Fang Wei recognized the gun at first sight. After all, it was not the first time he had seen the real thing. The captain had one at home, and he also heard that Zheng Hu’s second brother also had one at home.

This Type 38 rifle was once very common in the mainland, but because bullets were difficult to find, it was gradually eliminated.

Fang Wei held the rifle and examined it carefully. The gun was very well maintained and felt really good.

"Brother, where did you get this stuff? Especially with all these bullets."

While he was happy, Fang Wei's heart was also filled with doubts.

"Who else could it be? I went to find Uncle Guo, and after a long conversation, he finally agreed to give me his treasured rifle. However, I won't go to him again if I have any problems in the future.

From what he said, giving me this gun means I have repaid my parents’ kindness.”

Fang Ping looked calm, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

It was because his parents were entrusted by someone to go to the mountains to look for some precious herbs, and that person was the "Uncle Guo" he mentioned.

After that incident, brothers Fang Ping and Fang Wei did not ask for compensation from each other. This was the first time Fang Ping took the initiative to look for someone.

When the other party heard that Fang Ping wanted a rifle, he gave him all the Type 38 rifle and bullets that he had treasured for many years, which put his mind at ease.

"Uncle Guo can't be blamed for what happened to my parents, and I've never thought of relying on him. This is fine."

Fang Wei thought it was normal and didn't have any thoughts about it.

In fact, Fang Ping had originally planned to wait until Fang Wei turned eighteen before going to find Uncle Guo and try to get him to help get his brother into the army.

But being alive is more important than anything else, so let’s just focus on the present.

The next day.

Fang Wei got up early and when he arrived at the private plot, he saw his elder brother busy working.

After the cowpeas were harvested, some land became available, and Fang Ping planned to use this space to grow sweet potato seedlings.

"Brother, let's grow seedlings in this area. You can plant some pumpkins in the remaining space."

Most of Fang Wei's land was left vacant, just enough for seedling cultivation.

Sweet potatoes are generally grown locally by the cutting method. The cultivated seedlings are cut into sections and can then be taken to the fields for cutting and planting.

"also."

Anyway, the two brothers are still living together, so there is no need to separate them.

Fang Wei's land has been upgraded to level 4, with a 40% bonus on all attributes. He can take a look at the effects.

After breakfast, he said hello to Wu Maosheng, carried his gun and went into the mountains.

Zheng Xianfa asked him to work with Wu Maosheng on breeding, but Wu Maosheng himself had no idea, so there was no point in them staying together.

So he rushed to the other side of the valley and continued to cultivate the land.

"In addition to my own private plot of land, I can also designate a temporary planting area of about 130 square meters."

noon.

Fang Wei ate some dry food and drank some water.

Then a temporary area was designated here, which could bring at least a 20% attribute bonus.

After a short break, he continued to work. Although turning the soil was hard work, he was determined to deal with the upcoming disaster.

He left quite late, but he was already used to this route, so he managed to get home before dark.

A few days passed quickly.

Brothers Fang Ping and Fang Wei not only completed the seedling cultivation work, but also tidied up the land in the valley.

It takes about 20 days to grow seedlings, and before that there is no need to go to the mountains every day.
