Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

"Although it's just a few acres of thin farmland, it's still family property. Do you...really want to sell it?"

In the antique hall, a middle-aged man wearing a robe and official uniform was sitting high, looking at Xu Yang and the three people in the hall, and then at the field deed in his hand, with a rather amused look on his face.

Xu Yang nodded and said in a deep voice: "Not only the landowner, but also my three brothers and sisters are willing to sell themselves to the Lu family as slaves. I beg Master Lu to have mercy and give my three brothers and sisters a place to stay and shelter from the wind and rain!"

"Hmm~!"

Yuan Lu stroked his beard, looked at Xu Yang with a confused look, and then smiled and said: "I have heard about your family's affairs. It is true that you have gone too far. Anyway, I will take over the land. As for your brother and sister, Three people... How about you come to my house as a long-term worker, and your family will still take care of these acres of farmland?"

"Thank you, sir!"

When Xu Yang heard this, he didn't say much and bowed his head directly to thank him.

Officer Lu glanced at him, with a smile on his lips, and then turned the land deed in his hand to the butler on the side: "Zhang Fu, I will leave this matter to you. Please explain it clearly to the Li family so as not to cause any misunderstanding!"

"Yes, sir!"

Butler Zhang Fu took the Tian deed and turned to Xu Yang and the others: "Follow me."

Xu Yang nodded, led Li Qinghe and Li Hongyu, and left the hall with him.

There are two big families in Xiaohuang Village, one is the Li family and the other is the Lu family.

The two families live in the same village, so their relationship is not good, and they even have disputes from time to time.

Therefore, Xu Yang took Tian Qi and his younger siblings and decisively came to join the Lu family, even selling themselves into slavery.

There is no way around it. That bastard Li Laojiu has some relationship with the Li family, the big family of the Li family. Just now, Xu Yang gave away a lot of money from those people who were deprived of their families, and basically wiped out the people of the same clan and the same surname. Offended.

So, where can he find a place among the Li clan?

In order to avoid Li Laojiu's revenge and the Li family's troubles, Xu Yang decisively sold himself to the Lu family.

The Lu family and the Li family are both big families in Xiaohuang Village. They have a lot of competition with each other and can be said to be old rivals.

As a well-known philanthropist from all over the country, Lu Yuanwai would not mind accepting Xu Yang, a member of the Li family who had been estranged from all relatives.

In this way, you can not only get a good reputation, but also beat your old enemy, and also get a few acres of land. It can be said that you kill three birds with one stone and gain both fame and fortune!

As for the things and cruel methods Xu Yang caused in the Li family, he didn't care. The mountain people were tough and it was reasonable, let alone a young man with strong blood?

It is normal for you to take action in a moment of passion when you see someone coming to your house to eat. You don't have to worry about the hidden dangers and threats of accepting such a domestic slave, not to mention that you have all the lifeblood such as the land contract and so on. Can't afford the waves.

If such a person is well tamed, he will become a loyal dog. After a few generations, wouldn't it be nice to have a few more innocent and loyal sons in the Lu family?

…

In this way, after a long day of busy work, this matter was finally settled.

Xu Yang sold the land deeds, real estate, and even himself and his siblings to the Lu family, and is now a slave of the Lu family.

The Lu family also fulfilled their promise and came forward to solve Li Laojiu's matter, which caused the Li family to lose a lot of face.

In this way, the Li family's grudges are definitely indispensable, and the people of the Li family are stabbing him in the spine from behind, and may even secretly cause trouble for him.

But Xu Yang didn't care. As long as it wasn't a fatal move, he didn't care at all.

He just wants a period of time, a period of stable development.

"elder brother!"

That night, at home, Li Qinghe and Li Hongyu, who had come back from selling themselves with Xu Yang, looked at their eldest brother with puzzled eyes: "Is this really okay? The Lu family... is not necessarily a good person!"

"It doesn't matter whether it's good or not."

Xu Yang shook his head, chuckled and said, "The important thing is that they can deal with the Li family, do you understand?"

"this……"

The two of them still wanted to speak, but when they met Xu Yang's eyes, the words in their throats were suppressed again, and they could only nod and say: "I understand."

"As long as you know."

Xu Yang nodded and said quietly: "Just be patient for a few years, I have a plan, don't worry!"

It’s no wonder that Li Qinghe and Li Hongyu are so worried. Xu Yang’s approach is indeed not worth advocating. Although the Li family is not a good person, the Lu family is also not a kind person. Xu Yang actually sold the whole family to them. This is a bit confusing no matter how you look at it. head.

Now, the three brothers and sisters have not only lost their land, but also their freedom. The lives of the three of them are controlled by the Lu family, and life and death can all be determined by each other's thoughts.

When we reach this point, we might as well endure the bad temper we felt before and make excuses with Li Laojiu and others.

After all, he is also a member of the Li clan. The Li family will never go too far, and the same cannot be said for the Lu family. It is really stupid to abandon the clan and sell oneself to the Lu family just for the sake of temporary satisfaction.

But this is just ordinary people's opinion.

For Xu Yang, any land or contract is all bullshit.

These are not his foundation, let alone his lifeblood!

His foundation is the attribute panel and skill characteristics. As long as he can develop powerful skills and characteristics, no one can control him.

Unfortunately, this attribute panel has one flaw, that is, you cannot actively add points. If you want to develop skills, you can only practice and accumulate them until the skills are generated.

Therefore, Xu Yang needs a period of stable development to develop powerful skills and characteristics.

For this reason, he decisively beat up Li Laojiu, forced everyone to pay their contributions, and even fell out with the Li family. He created a stupid and ruthless persona for himself, in order to frighten those who had evil intentions, otherwise he would deal with it. For every Li Laojiu, Li Laoba and Li Laoten will pop up.

A good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others. This is the truth!

With this kind of shock, if you sell your life to the Lu family and use it as a backing tiger skin, you will definitely be able to sleep peacefully in a few years.

In addition, by selling his land and his body, he also received a sum of money, which could be used as starting capital.

The next step is to use this precious development time, as well as the starting capital obtained from selling land and life, to practice skills with all one's strength. There is no need to be king or hegemon, as long as it can guarantee a foothold in the village.

With the attribute panel, as long as he can establish a firm foothold in the early stage, he will be able to grow and develop, gradually explore the world, use various resources in this world, and change the difficult situation in the real world.

so……

"It's late, go to sleep!"

Xu Yang comforted the worried Li Qinghe and Li Hongyu, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

At the same time, in the real world, in the awning boat...

Xu Yang opened his eyes, stood up quickly, took out the brown rice he just bought yesterday, grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it vigorously.

Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, the time difference between the two worlds is too big, he can't stay in reality for too long, otherwise "Li Qingshan" over there will die of thirst and starvation, or he will be buried alive as a dead person.

Therefore, he had no time to cook, so he could only eat it dry and chew it raw, finish eating as quickly as possible and then return to the Dream Butterfly World.

Brown rice is rough, and chewing it raw is even more difficult, but fortunately, Xu Yang's eating skills include "chewing". His powerful teeth easily smashed the rough rice grains, and soon, half a bag of brown rice went into his mouth. abdomen.

After swallowing less than half a bag of brown rice, and then drinking a few ladles of water, my stomach, which was still a little empty, suddenly became bloated.

Seeing this, Xu Yang lay down on the bed and fell asleep without saying a word.

His current eating skills can already make one meal worth ten meals. This meal can last three or four days, or even five or six days. In the Dream Butterfly World, it will be five or six years, which is enough for him to complete his early development plan. .

…

In the Dream Butterfly World, Xu Yang was awakened by a cockcrow.

In fact, he couldn't be called awake, because he hadn't slept at all. The time difference was three hundred and sixty-five times. He had just finished eating in the real world, and the night had passed in the Dream Butterfly World, and there was no time to sleep at all.

But he was still energetic, got up and washed himself, then said goodbye to Li Qinghe and Li Hongyu, and went to the Lu family.

He was going to find a job that would help him hone his skills.

As for the errands, he had already made plans.

The Lu family is a large landowner, and their ancestors have also had a family. Through several generations of accumulation, the family has a very strong financial background. It is famous not only in Xiaohuang Village, but also in villages and towns throughout the country.

In an agricultural society, land is the foundation, but the source of income for large landowners is not all income from farming or land rent taxes.

Grow food and collect rent?

That’s how much money you can make!

For the real landlords and gentry, leasing land and exploiting tenants is just one of many means of income, and can only guarantee the most basic food income.

If you want to become bigger and stronger, you must use other means, such as rent collection and lending, robbery, land annexation, smuggling of salt and iron, raising slaves, human trafficking, tax evasion and tax evasion...

In this way, after several generations of accumulation, one can become rich and powerful, and even exercise monopoly, forming the cornerstone of the ruling system, and rule the world together with the clan, royal family, and wealthy families.

Although the Li and Lu families in Xiaohuang Village are not to that extent, they can still be considered local tyrants, and they do a lot of gray things that are half black but not white.

If such a family business wants to be stable, it must be protected by force. Both families have many servants to guard the house, and they even hired martial arts instructors.

Xu Yang originally wanted to be a nursing home servant and learn martial arts from a martial artist, but he quickly gave up this idea.

It's not that he doesn't want to learn martial arts, but that he is self-aware. The most important thing for such servants to guard the courtyard is that they are clean and loyal, and they are all sons of the family. He, an outsider named Li, even if he sells himself to the Lu family, You are not qualified to do this job, and asking for it would be a disgrace to yourself.

so……

"Steward Zhang, I want to find a job as a butcher, and I would like your help."

Xu Yang found Zhang Fu, the butler who had handled the deed of sale for him yesterday, explained his purpose straight to the point and handed over a small purse.

"oh?"

Zhang Fu didn't shy away from it. He took the money bag and weighed it for a while, then looked at Xu Yang: "You kid can also kill pigs and cows?"

"Less likely!"

Xu Yang shook his head, chuckled and said, "But I have some strength, and I have hunted some animals before, so it shouldn't be difficult to learn."

"Well... well, there happens to be a shortage of people over there, so I will arrange for you to be an apprentice there!"

Zhang Fu weighed the money bag, pondered for a while, and finally agreed.

"Thank you, Butler Zhang!"
