The pork butcher is smoother than a pig butcher!

Chapter 2 The Successor of the Sacred Tree

No matter how desperately the woman screamed and resisted.

The physical strength of four adult men was no match for that of a woman who rarely left her home.

Success is only a matter of time.

Out of anger, they didn't hold back at all!

Accompanied by the woman's sobs, it took Gan Minglan half an hour to digest the general memories in the original owner's mind.

Bei country.

She seemed to recognize the character 邶, but when combined with the character 国, she had no recollection of it.

The capital city was a commercial hub.

There are three prefectures in between, and Daming Prefecture, where they live.

The original owner of this body shared the same name as her in her previous life.

She married into the Zuo family in Leyuan County.

This spring, I turned twenty-two.

Married for five years, son is four years old.

The Zuo family is one of the top three families in Daming Prefecture, with a history spanning over a century.

Their power was mainly concentrated in Leyuan County, which was under the jurisdiction of Daming Prefecture.

The original owner's husband's family was a branch of the Zuo family, five degrees removed from the main branch.

Zuo Wenkang lost his father at the age of three.

He has a certain talent for studying.

At the age of seven, he was sent by his widowed mother, Luo, to the Zuo family school for his early education.

The Zuo family school was quite large, and it exempted all students who were willing to improve from basic expenses.

Those who excel in their studies don't even need to buy their own writing materials.

The days of the Luo family, orphans and widows, were not too difficult to endure.

When Zuo Wenkang passed the imperial examination at the age of seventeen and became a scholar, Luo arranged a marriage for him.

What I'm referring to is, of course, the original form!

The Gan family was considered a prominent family in Leyuan County.

There is a pork shop that is unique in the entire county.

His father, Gan Hongzhen, was honest and kind in business for ten years.

We never sell sick pigs or leftover meat.

The price is fair, and the portion of meat is generous.

After-sales services such as deboning and cutting meat can be provided even if the customer only buys half a pound.

The original owner went to help out at a pork shop at the age of fourteen.

The name "Pork Beauty" became famous throughout the county.

Other butchers are considered lucky if they can sell one pig a day.

Gan's pork shop sells out seven or eight pigs every day before noon!
Luo raised her son by doing laundry and washing clothes, and she really suffered enough from a lack of money.

From a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the county-level imperial examination) to a Juren (a scholar who passed the provincial-level imperial examination), one has to take the exam countless times.

Although the pork vendor isn't very clever, she's really beautiful.

Moreover, Gan Hongzhen had already made his statement long ago.

In addition to the sixteen-bearer dowry, he would also give 30% of the annual profits from the Gan family's pork shop to his beloved daughter as part of her dowry.

What is the profit margin of a pork shop that sells seven or eight pigs a day, which is 30%?

Anyone would do the math!

Anyway, after Gan Minglan turned fifteen and came of age, matchmakers wore out the doorstep of her house.

Having learned of this news, Luo began to have some ideas.

She dressed her son up in a new outfit and sent him to the Gan family's butcher shop several times to buy meat.

Finally, he met Gan Minglan while buying pork.

Fortunately.

Gan Minglan actually took a liking to this guy, a tall, thin, fair-skinned man with lychee-shaped eyes.

Even though Gan Hongzhen was extremely unwilling, she couldn't resist the fact that her silly daughter was after that pretty boy.

When Luo sent a matchmaker to propose marriage, he weighed the options for several days before finally agreeing.

Within Leyuan County, Gan Hongzhen was not afraid even when facing the direct descendants of the Zuo family.

He is generous and righteous.

He made many friends, from government officials to people from all walks of life.

Besides, with Zuo Wenkang's skinny arms and legs, his silly daughter could easily take him down with one hand.

Who can imagine.

Even those who were distant relatives beyond the fifth degree of kinship were included in the nine generations of their family by the imperial court.

When the officers and soldiers came to arrest him, Yuan, in his anxiety, clashed with them.

In chaos.

He was struck on the back of the head by the hilt of a soldier's knife and immediately lost consciousness. He later woke up.

They replaced her with Gan Minglan, who came from the apocalypse.

Gan Minglan couldn't contain her excitement.

Only those who have truly experienced the apocalypse know how precious the environment of ancient Earth, untouched by viral contamination, was!

Even the air in the prison was so fresh!
The only pity is her sacred tree space.

That was her greatest support during her ten years of survival in the apocalypse in her previous life.

Speaking of this space, her identity in her previous life is also a mystery.

I have no memory of my parents since I was a child.

She was raised by the villagers.

On the web of her left hand, there is a heart-shaped, leaf-shaped red birthmark about the size of a quail egg.

This birthmark is also considered by the tribe to be a mark of the successor of the sacred tree.

What is a sacred tree?
The tribespeople are unaware of this.

When she grew up, she went to study in the county town outside the village.

After graduating from university, I stayed in a big city to work.

Until the end times arrive.

She hasn't returned to the ancient village where she was born and raised for many years.

The zombies in the city are the ones that mutated the fastest.

The second year of the apocalypse was also the first year that Gan Minglan awakened her wood-type superpower.

The heart-shaped, leaf-like birthmark on the back of her hand has finally changed.

On a night of red moonlight, the Sacred Tree Space was opened.

There is also night and day, spring and summer, autumn and winter in space.

The only resident was a sacred tree—a mulberry tree.

The tree is over 90 meters tall, with a trunk diameter of 15 meters and a canopy covering an area of ​​3 mu (approximately 0.2 hectares).

The heart-shaped mulberry leaves that grow on the tree are as big as washbasins, and the leaves are dark green all over.

When she first entered the space, she saw colorful silkworms hanging on the mulberry tree.

The rustling sound of tens of thousands of colorful silkworms simultaneously munching on mulberry leaves is just like rain.

Standing under the tree, you can be bathed in silkworm excrement.

Before they formed cocoons, Gan Minglan had to use an umbrella every time she entered the space.

Later, she discovered that the trunk of the sacred tree was hollow.

They built a three-story treehouse inside.

The first floor contains the kitchen and bathroom.

The entire second floor is dedicated to practice rooms.

The third floor is a storage room.

Half of it was filled with her spoils from the apocalypse.

The other half is silk made from the silk of seven-colored silkworms.

Silks in shades of purple, red, blue, gold, silver, green, and black are neatly arranged on the shelves.

Seven-colored silk that does not require printing or dyeing.

Not only are the colors vibrant and never fade, but they are also smooth, cool, lightweight, and breathable.

They're so comfortable to wear as pajamas and dresses.

If it weren't for the apocalypse, her people could have become rich just by raising these colorful silkworms!

Shenmu raises silkworms only once a year in the spring and bears mulberry fruit once a year in the summer.

The dark-colored fruit is about the length of an adult's finger.

Juicy and sweet with a hint of fragrance.

She was the apple of her husband Atu's eye (a gold-type marmot with special abilities).

Thinking of this, Gan Minglan swallowed hard.

Out of habit, I reached for the web of my left hand.

They didn't make a sound when touched.

what!what!what!
She wanted to imitate Atu and let out a scream that struck straight to the soul.

The heart-shaped leaf-shaped birthmark was also present on the original body.

Moreover, Shenmu Space followed!

She used her mental powers to survey the space and could see that Atu was lying sprawled out in the cave, snoring away.

Other superhumans in the apocalypse rely on absorbing the crystal cores of zombies to level up.

The wood-based energy of the sacred tree is purer and more powerful than the energy in the crystal core.

It is the most powerful cheat for wood-type ability users.

Gan Minglan was delighted: At worst, she could just start over and level up again!
