Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality
Chapter 17 The tiger turned into a cat, and the bully came again
There has been a popular saying among the people that bear blood strengthens the body and fox blood nourishes the soul.
His blood seemed to boil as his body began to absorb the energy from the bear's blood. There is a steady stream of energy flowing out of the limbs. The physical strength consumed by the fight with the black bear is rapidly recovering, and the cultivation level seems to be improving at an alarming rate.
He suddenly thought, what would happen if the termites ate the bear blood?
Termites are omnivores and will eat almost anything.
The fourth child was injured, and the other five worker ants had just metamorphosed into adults. They were still small worker ants, so it was time to nourish them with bear blood.
Qin Niu caught some bear blood with a leaf and came to the big camphor tree.
"Fourth, ask them to come out to eat together."
Qin Niu has now learned the insect language and can communicate with the ant colony, which is obviously much easier than before.
There are many insect control skills, but he has only learned the two most basic ones so far.
This is already very good.
Because he just followed the words described in the book and then understood it on his own.
Lao Si crawled out from the depths of the tree hole with five worker ants.
Judging from the fact that they are covered in sawdust, they must be widening the ant nest.
Suffering a big disaster is also a good thing for them. It is a good temper. The wild is so cruel. All creatures compete together and the fittest survive.
After they crawled out, they first sniffed the bear blood on the leaves, and then the fourth child took the lead in sucking it.
Qin Niu left it here and ignored it.
The bear carcass must be disposed of as soon as possible.
Learning from the lesson he learned last time, he planned to take the bear carcass home secretly this time.
He understands the principle of harboring guilt.
This bear carcass can be sold for at least twenty-five or six taels of silver.
The bear skin alone can be sold for more than twenty taels of silver, which is a huge sum of money.
Qin Niu can use it to purchase weapons, cultivation techniques, insect control books, low-level contract talismans and other items.
And as long as you make good use of this money, you can buy all these things at once.
By then, his strength will skyrocket.
With the cultivation techniques, even if they are just low-level techniques, he can reach the peak of the first level of the mortal realm within ten years.
The guards recruited by the Yan family were not born with the ability to lift a two-hundred-jin bronze tripod.
Many of them have some cultivation roots in their families and have started practicing the exercises since they were young.
There are also some who have made a lot of money through their own efforts and bought exercises to practice on their own. However, because the practice is extremely obscure, it is generally difficult to succeed in self-study.
Basically, you spend a sum of money to become a master.
This way the success rate is much higher.
Qin Niu looked at the huge bear corpse in front of him and secretly considered how to deal with it.
It's still dark, so it's the best time to deal with it.
If you want to take such a big bear carcass home without being discovered, the best way is to dismember it.
After thinking for a while, he decisively picked up the bear carcass and walked down the mountain.
The bear's head was tied with a belt and hung around his waist.
It's quite heavy, at least twenty pounds.
After taking it home and removing the hair, you can eat many meals.
The bear head has a lot of bones, and when made into a soup, it is definitely good for strengthening the muscles and bones.
He was very smart and chose to carry the bear carcass to a mountain forest closer to the village, which could reduce the chance of being picked off by other beasts. It also saves time on traveling back and forth.
Because few ferocious beasts move to the outer reaches of the mountains.
Now that I am going to cut the black bear into pieces, I will definitely have to go home many times.
He chose a mountain forest closest to his home, hid the bear carcass, and then took the bear head home.
After all aspects have been taken into account, this ability is truly terrifying.
He took the bear's head home to get his knife and basket, and the whole village was still quiet while flying under the stars and the moon.
People are immersed in sleep.
However, Qin Niu was still very cautious and covered the bear's head with his clothes. Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
If someone gets up to relieve themselves, or hears a noise and looks outside the house, the fact that he brought the bear carcass home will immediately be exposed.
…
Working until dawn, he finally finished processing all the bear carcasses and took them home in a backpack.
The whole process went quite smoothly.
However, he frequently went into the mountains with a basket on his back in the middle of the night, so someone must have secretly noticed him.
So he came up with a way to hide the truth.
Every time, I would go around to my own farmland first.
Take the bear carcass home and hide it under the woodpile in the backyard. In order to cover up the smell of blood, he did a preliminary pickling process.
Fortunately, after drinking the bear's blood, the energy in his body was boiling, as if he had inexhaustible strength.
After hiding the bear carcass at home, he washed off the blood and cleaned up all traces.
By this time it was getting bright outside.
Although he was very tired, he still carried the basket and went out.
I came to the fields to look around, and then went into the mountains.
When he came out again, he was already carrying a basket of humus soil.
"Aniu, I saw you were busy all night yesterday. What were you doing in the mountains?"
A village woman looked into his basket.
Qin Niu did not speak, but lowered his head and carried the basket into Bao Valley.
After carrying it three times in a row, many villagers saw clearly that the basket contained humus soil from the mountains due to his intentional or unintentional exposure.
Rich Wang walked over with his hands behind his back.
"Aniu, how have you considered buying the fertilizer formula I told you last time?"
He glanced at the humus piled in the ground, which looked like a hill.
This was what Qin Niu carried back in baskets and baskets.
"Not for sale!"
Qin Niu's words are concise and meaningful.
Last time, Mr. Wang 'copied' Qin Niu's own fertilizer formula, hired someone to go up the mountain to transport humus home, and then mixed the fertilizer himself.
As a result, the tiger turned into a cat. Not only did it not achieve the ideal fertilizer effect, but it also caused the growth of a batch of corn seedlings to stagnate and the leaves turned yellow.
A slight difference is a thousand miles wrong.
The combination of fertilizers is as rigorous as the combination of traditional Chinese medicine.
If you add too much of what should be used less and too little of what should be used more, the fertilizer you mix will naturally not have that effect.
"Xu Zhenchang in the village also knows this technology. I asked him the price, and he only charged me eight cents for a basket of fertilizer. Since we are neighbors, I will give you ten cents for a basket."
In order to counter-offer, Mr. Wang did not hesitate to move Xu Zhenchang out to become Qin Niu's competitor.
There must be people who have reached the level of intermediate farmers.
It's just that everyone's areas of expertise are different. Some people are good at sowing seeds, some are good at weeding, some are good at loosening soil...
People like Qin Niu who are proficient in all five basic planting skills are definitely rare if not impossible.
Although fertilizer is the most critical part of planting technology, not many people know how to prepare fertilizer.
Few farmers are willing to take the time to study it carefully, let alone buy books to read it.
Many people don't even know a few words.
If you can write your name, you have defeated more than 60% of people.
Old Man Liu not only adopted Qin Niu, but also taught him how to read and write.
This is the greatest wealth left to Qin Niu.
Xu Zhenchang is indeed somewhat famous for growing crops, and he is one of the best farmers in the village.
In his early days, he worked as a tenant to the big landowner Yan Rusong.
The so-called tenants are those who rent other people's fields. In addition to paying taxes and grain, they also have to give half of the grain to the landlord.
This half of the grain is not the actual harvest, but calculated based on the average harvest of everyone's fields in previous years. For example, last year one acre of land produced two thousand catties of corn, so this year’s land rent will be one thousand catties of corn.
Because it is easier to collect rent than to plant crops yourself, many landowners are willing to rent out their fields.
But there are not many farmers who dare to rent land.
Because if there is a disaster year and the harvest is not good, you may still lose money after working hard for a year.
It is better to work as a long-term or temporary worker for the landlord's family. Although it does not have that freedom, at least it can have a stable income.
Many people think that landlords are exploiters who eat people without spitting out their bones. They are domineering, greedy and oppress the poor people. In fact, this is not what they imagine.
Everyone is voluntary.
Whether you rent land from the landlord's family or work as a worker for the landlord, it is all voluntary.
Instead of the landlord holding a knife and forcing the poor to rent his land and work as workers for him.
This is somewhat similar to the facade management of modern rental landlords.
If you think you have business talent, you can rent a storefront to do business. If you don't have that ability, you can only work for the boss.
Xu Zhenchang can be regarded as a model for countless tenant farmers to follow.
Because his planting skills are getting better and better, he rents land from the Yan family and has good harvests every year.
After more than ten years of hard work, he not only married a beautiful wife, lived in a large and magnificent house, but also purchased land. A perfect example of a successful person.
At present, Xu Zhenchang not only cultivates more than ten acres of his own land, but also rents hundreds of acres of land from the Yan family.
He is also one of the largest tenants of the Yan family.
Of course, he couldn't do so much work alone, so the family hired a lot of helpers.
He personally controls the planting technology.
Rich Wang bought Qin Niu's own fertilizer for ten cents per basket, so it was a good idea to move Xu Zhenchang out.
It's a pity that he still underestimated Qin Niu.
"As I said before, if Uncle Wang thinks Boss Xu's fertilizer is a good deal, you can buy Boss Xu's fertilizer. My fertilizer will cost you the same price, but I can guarantee you the fertilizer effect."
Qin Niu bit the price and refused to let go.
If you sell it cheaply this time, you will have to sell it cheaply in the future.
Fifty cents per basket is definitely a huge profit.
But what he makes is technology money.
Technology itself is priceless.
"You can't lose a penny?"
Rich Wang's tone obviously softened a lot.
"It's really indispensable."
Qin Niu's attitude was firm.
"Okay, I'll think about it again!"
Rich Wang left with his hands behind his back. The tone this time was much looser than last time, and the purchase intention seemed much stronger.
Watching the corns planted by Qin Niu change every day, the growth is gratifying.
They were starting to grow buds, with two or three buds growing on each pole. He was envious from the bottom of his heart.
Fifty cents per basket is really not cheap. Mr. Wang is a businessman and it is impossible to do business at a loss.
Buying a basket of fertilizer must bring him at least one hundred cash in profit before he will consider it.
Food prices fluctuate greatly due to natural disasters and insect pests.
In years of severe drought, food prices remain high for at least two years. When landowners and ordinary people see a severe drought, they will definitely hoard food and be reluctant to sell it. The price will change every day.
Due to drought, crop yields were reduced and the harvest was not good that year. It would take at least half a year to produce new grain for the second year.
There will definitely be famine at this time.
Therefore, every time there is a severe drought, food prices remain high for at least two years.
There was a minor drought last year, and the impact on food prices was not great, with only a slight increase.
This year the price of a stone of corn is about 120 cents.
One stone is equivalent to about 120 kilograms, which is equivalent to one penny for one kilogram of corn.
This price is only possible when food prices are normal.
The annual income of an ordinary long-term worker in a landlord's family is 3 taels of silver. Adding in salary and shoe money, the annual income is 3.6 taels of silver.
This is equivalent to a daily salary of 10 cents.
This income is very low, only enough to buy ten pounds of corn. But the advantage is stability. It is not a big problem to support my parents, wife and children.
An adult man's income from one day's work is enough to buy ten kilograms of grain. The price of grain is not cheap.
One acre of fertile land can produce 1,500 kilograms of corn, which is considered a very good yield.
It is equivalent to only 1.5 taels of silver.
If you buy ten baskets of fertilizer for one acre of land and each basket costs fifty cents, that’s five hundred cents!
Excluding workers' wages and seed money, there is no money to be made at all.
Rich Wang asked twice but didn't buy it, and it was precisely for this reason.
Nothing else, just too expensive.
There is no money to be made at all.
Qin Niu now has a bear and tiger, it really doesn't matter whether he sells it or not.
Working in the fields is nothing more than hiding from others.
He planned to wait until dawn tomorrow to take the bear skin and set off to sell it in the city for a good price. Then buy some cultivation materials and come back.
Not long after he was busy, he heard someone calling him.
"Aniu, get here here!"
A sound like thunder roared not far away.
Qin Niu straightened up and looked outside Bao Valley, only to see Wang Haikun's muscular figure appearing on the road not far away.
Seeing this person's sudden visit, Qin Niu couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling.
Damn it, this village bully might have heard the news and want to plunder again.
Wang Haikun tasted a lot of sweetness from easily snatching away the wolf skin last time.
That wolf skin can be sold for at least 1.5 taels of silver, which is equivalent to half a year's wages for an ordinary person.
Can Wang Haikun not be active?
"Master Kun, why are you here?"
Qin Niu calmed down and faced him with his hoe.
Let’s talk about the style first.
This time I learned the lesson from last time and it was impossible to be discovered.
At most, his frequent trips into the mountains in the middle of the night arouse suspicion. You must stay calm.
"Stop talking nonsense and hand over the game!"
Wang Haikun's face darkened and he stared at him fiercely.
As soon as Qin Niu heard this, he knew that it was similar to what he had guessed. Wang Haikun was talking about handing over the game, not the bear carcass.
Also, Wang Haikun's seemingly vicious tone and ferocious expression are just his usual methods of scaring ordinary people.
There was cunning in the depths of this man's eyes.
This is what Tao Qinniu said.
Today's Qin Niu is no longer as strong as he was a month ago. The slashing sword technique has reached a slight level, and there is a 10% chance of an explosive slash.
Moreover, before he drank the bear's blood, his cultivation level had already reached 37.6/100 of the first level mortal.
It will only be stronger now.
If he really fights Wang Haikun, his chance of winning is at least 70%.
If a surprise attack is carried out, it is basically a sure thing.
So when facing the biggest bully in the village, Qin Niu was actually very calm. This is the confidence and self-confidence that comes with being strong.
Abdominal poetry and gas from China.
With strength, you can naturally be fearless and calm.
However, Qin Niu still behaves timidly and timidly.
"Master Kun, come to my house and see what I eat every day! Where do I get the game?"
Qin Niu was fully prepared and confident that he could hide it from Wang Haikun.
When he answered, his expression was natural and flawless.
"Hmph, stop pretending to me here. Some people saw you coming in and out of the mountains last night. You must have caught game meat and don't want people to know about it. You'd better be sensible and offer it up immediately, otherwise don't blame me for not practicing the Black Tiger Fist. Be polite."
Wang Haikun stared at the copper bell and clenched his fists loudly.
He looked like he was going to hit someone.
"Ah, Master Kun, Master Kun, you have really wronged me. I saw that the corn in the field was about to be filled with grout, and I was worried about the rain these days, so I dug some mountain mud in the middle of the night to make fertilizer. "
Qin Niu had a "fearful" expression on his face and explained again and again.
Wang Haikun raised his eyes and looked at Bao Gudi.
"Well, I carried all that fat mud back from the mountains. I've been so busy that I haven't even had a breather yet!"
Qin Niu pointed to the piles of humus.
When Wang Haikun saw the fat mud piled as high as a hill, he already believed it.
It's just that this person has always been cunning and won't let it go.
"Take me to your home to see you!"
"Master Kun, please!"
Qin Niu seemed extremely cooperative, which once again dispelled some of Wang Haikun's suspicions.
After following Qin Niu home, he twitched his nose and smelled it.
Then he scanned Qin Niu's house and saw nothing suspicious.
He strode to the stove and opened the lid of the pot.
I saw some wild vegetables and bark cooked inside, and only a few grains could be seen.
"Bah! Is the food your kid is eating pig food or human food?"
Wang Haikun couldn't stand the smell.
This is not what people eat!
"You also saw it. If there was game, would I still eat this? Master Kun, let me show you the backyard too!"
Qin Niu took the initiative to cooperate with the inspection.
The more proactive he is and the more natural his expression is, the more he can dispel Wang Haikun's suspicion.
Wang Haikun followed him to the backyard and took a look. Except for a large pile of firewood, there was nothing suspicious.
He strode to the pile of firewood and kicked some firewood away for inspection.
Qin Niu followed behind and licked his lips subconsciously.
This is the action before killing the black bear and the old wolf.
When Wang Haikun discovered the bear meat hidden in the firewood pile, Qin Niu would probably take the risk and leave the person alone.
Of course, the consequences of this are serious.
"Wang Haikun! You didn't come to my house to have a cup of tea when you came. Do you think my hospitality wasn't attentive enough last time?"
Rich Wang's voice came from outside the house.
Is this intentional to help Qin Niu out of trouble?
Wang Haikun had already given up his doubts, but now he kicked the pyre away and still found nothing.
Then he heard Mr. Wang calling him outside the house.
He immediately turned around and walked outside.
"Damn it, that bastard Xie Leizi is very clever, saying that A Niu in the village brought game home again. If you dare to lie to me, you must teach him a lesson." Wang Haikun cursed.
After hearing this, Qin Niu's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
If Wang Haikun is an evil tiger, then Xie Lezi is a ghost who works specifically for the tiger.
"Master Kun calm down, Uncle Xie also wants to make some achievements in front of you to alleviate..."
Qin Niu stood beside him and spoke for Xie Lezi, a villain.
Naturally, he has his profound intention.
Halfway through, he suddenly stopped talking.
"What is he trying to alleviate?"
Wang Haikun turned to stare at Qin Niu and asked in a bad tone.
He was cunning and suspicious, and the more Qin Niu refused to tell, the more he wanted to know the answer.
Qin Niu's expression was to cover up what he had said, with a hint of panic.
"Nothing, nothing!"
Qin Niu didn't seem to say much, but his performance at this moment was very well done.
It’s not easy to divide it into chapters, so just make one big chapter.
