Chapter 7 The Mountain Guardian is Evil? I'm Going to Do It!
Then naturally no one will force him to work.
As for wild beasts, he can hide in his spatial dimension; there's nothing to be afraid of.
"Mingzi, what are you thinking about? Are you scared? Don't worry, I'm here, I won't let you go guard the mountain." Tian Jiangyue gave Chen Jianming a push.
She can't bear to part with such a powerful tool right now!
Moreover, they have delicate skin and tender flesh, so one egg is enough to make them.
Chen Jianming pondered for a moment and said, "Sister, actually I'd like to take over the job of the mountain keeper. Could you talk to Wang Mancang about it for me?"
"Are you crazy? Do you know how many times they've changed the mountain caretaker this year?"
Tian Jiangyue exclaimed in surprise, "The most important thing is that I'm not pregnant yet, and I can't let Chen Jianming leave."
"Sister, do you think I'm still afraid of wild animals with my current physique? Given my family background, I'm not much better off than the mountain guards in the village."
Chen Jianming saw through Tian Jiangyue's thoughts and said, "Besides, nothing stays hidden forever. If our affair gets discovered in the village, do you think Wang Mancang will let you off the hook?"
"But..."
Chen Jianming coaxed, "You're not pregnant yet, right? Don't you think about it? Wang Mancang is a father; wouldn't he know what his son's health is like? Even if you were really pregnant, do you think Wang Mancang would believe it?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Jiangyue's face turned pale.
Others might not know, but she knew better than anyone that her short-lived husband was a eunuch, completely limp and unable to get an erection.
Even the bloodstains on her newlywed bed sheets were earned by herself.
She was only focused on securing her position in the Wang family, and in her desperation, she resorted to getting pregnant without considering this aspect at all.
"What you said makes a lot of sense." Tian Jiangyue bit her lip, her face looking very pale.
"Yeah, don't you understand? If you really get pregnant, that old bastard Wang Mancang will definitely suspect you of cheating on him. Do you think you'll survive then?" Chen Jianming added fuel to the fire for Tian Jiangyue.
However, what he said was true.
"What should I do?" Tian Jiangyue panicked.
Chen Jianming glanced out the window and lowered his voice, saying, "Sister, I won't lie to you. You know my father used to hold a pretty high position. I have some inside information; it shouldn't be long before the educated youth can return to the city. You should leave as soon as possible then. Why stay in this godforsaken place!"
"Why didn't you tell me all this sooner? What have we been doing all this time!" Tian Jiangyue stared at Chen Jianming, clearly a little angry.
"Hehe, isn't that because you're too pretty? Aren't you comfortable with that?"
Chen Jianming smiled and pulled Tian Jiangyue into his arms.
"You better not lie to me!"
Tian Jiangyue gritted her teeth, pushed Chen Jianming down, and climbed on top of him.
Since we're leaving anyway, let's indulge ourselves one last time.
Having spent so much time together, she was really going to miss it...
Inside the dilapidated house, the ground shook violently once more.
Afterwards, Chen Jianming, disregarding Tian Jiangyue who was still trembling slightly, pushed her away.
He was still waiting to go into the space to see if any other items would be generated.
"Pah! They turn their backs on you after you've done your bidding! Men are all the same!"
Tian Jiangyue spat, her face full of resentment, and limped away, clutching her stomach.
Upon entering the space, Chen Jianming was pleasantly surprised to find that in just half a day, the corn he had planted was already as tall as his calves.
"Then it won't take more than a few days to reap the rewards?"
Chen Jianming rubbed his hands together excitedly.
He waited quietly for an hour, almost falling asleep, when he suddenly felt a blow to the head.
"Ouch, that hurts so much! What the hell was that thing?!" Chen Jianming rubbed his head.
When he looked up and saw clearly, his eyes suddenly looked a little strange. What had hit him was actually a basket of steamed buns!
Moreover, the buns appeared to be pre-made, as the packaging bag had just been torn open.
Chen Jianming looked up and carefully examined his surroundings, finally discovering a crack at the boundary of the space that was slowly closing.
Clearly, the steamed bun came out through that crack at the edge!
It seems that something randomly emerges from that crack every morning. The first time it was a piece of wood, the second time it was a rooster, and this time it's a steamed bun.
"Could this space be connected to other worlds?" Chen Jianming was dumbfounded.
He suddenly had a bold idea: could he travel back to his original world through that crack?
But he only thought about it; he wouldn't dare to try it. If he were to end up somewhere else, he'd have nowhere to cry!
...
The next morning.
Wang Mancang came out of the room yawning and bumped into his daughter-in-law.
"Dad, you're awake! Come and eat. This is the wild boar meat you hunted yesterday; I stir-fried some."
Tian Jiangyue gestured and placed a plate of food on the table.
Wang Mancang was a little surprised. When did his daughter-in-law become so diligent?
He didn't think much of it, nodded expressionlessly, and sat down at the table, but in his mind he was still pondering who would be suitable to be the mountain guardian.
"Father, are you worried about the mountain guardian?" Tian Jiangyue asked tentatively, her eyes darting around.
"How did you know?" Wang Mancang glanced coldly at Tian Jiangyue with his beady eyes.
"It's because I saw you looking so worried. I heard that another mountain guard died yesterday, and I figured it must be about that."
Tian Jiangyue tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and said with a smile.
"Father, what's there to worry about? If others don't want to go, isn't Chen Jianming, that 'Five Black Categories' young master, perfect for being the mountain guard?" Tian Jiangyue said.
Wang Mancang's eyes lit up immediately.
Yeah, just find someone to take the fall, and that's it!
Anyway, the mountain guards used to be rotated among the old hunters from different villages. If Chen Jianming, a member of the "Five Black Categories," really died on the mountain, no one would care. Then it would just be the next village's turn.
"Xiaoyue, you're right. Save the pork for me, we'll eat it when I get back." Wang Mancang was no longer worried, picked up a pancake and went out the door.
"Hmph, Mingzi was right. This old bastard is really vicious and doesn't treat people like human beings." Tian Jiangyue sneered.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Is Xiao Chen home?"
Wang Mancang hurried to Chen Jianming's house, and this time he even knocked on the door.
Chen Jianming was inside when he heard that the person who came in was Wang Mancang. This time, the other party didn't kick the door down, obviously Tian Jiangyue had already been exposed to the wind.
He opened the door and welcomed the other person in, saying, "Uncle Mancang, what brings you here? I was just getting ready to go to work."
"Don't rush to start work, Xiao Chen. I've come here on another matter. Do you know the mountain guardian?" Wang Mancang waved his hand, his arrogant attitude completely changed, replaced by a broad smile.
That old fox, still pretending!
Chen Jianming wanted to laugh, but he nodded and said, "I know, I heard the mountain guard was killed by a wild boar, it was terrible."
"Ahem!"
Wang Mancang coughed awkwardly and said, "Those are all rumors. It was completely due to that person's dereliction of duty. He went hunting in the forest without permission and was accidentally killed by a wild boar."
"I won't hide it from you anymore. The reason I came here this time is to ask you to be the mountain guard. You don't have to work, and it's not as good as working in the village."
Finally, I can leave this wretched village!
Chen Jianming was excited, but he pretended to be hesitant: "I'm afraid that won't work. I still have to work hard to pay back Accountant Liu the grain. I still owe him dozens of kilograms of grain."
"Besides, Uncle, you know that I have no food or water. If I go up the mountain, I'll either be bitten to death by wild animals or starve to death."
Wang Mancang rolled his eyes. How could Chen Jianming, who was so lazy, possibly work hard? He could tell that Chen Jianming was making demands.
Normally, he would have already started cursing, but right now he simply couldn't find a more suitable candidate.
"What grain? I think Accountant Liu is incredibly audacious. Don't worry, Xiao Chen, your uncle has made the decision; the grain doesn't need to be returned!"
"If you're willing to take over the village guard's job, I can give you twenty catties of grain. This job is much better than working yourself to death in the village!"
Wang Mancang had a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.
If Chen Jianming didn't know what kind of person the other party usually was, he probably would have actually believed it.
"Alright then, I promise you, but could you give me a hunting rifle for self-defense?" Chen Jianming reluctantly said.
"No problem! I'll arrange for someone to bring you the food and guns right away." Wang Mancang readily agreed.
Chen Jianming glanced around the room; there were broken tables and benches, and not much to tidy up. He planned to go straight into the mountains once he got the food and guns.
