Raising Silkworms and Refining Gu from Mount Hundred Thousand

"What the hell is that?"

Zhou Qing lay on the grass for a while and finally recovered. Thinking of the tall black figure in the miasma just now, I still feel frightened.

"Is it a black bear, or..."

Zhou Qing looked back and saw that by the time he ran down the mountain, it was already dark.

Under the pale moonlight, Black Wind Mountain looked even more eerie.

He heard from an old hunter in the town that some black bears would walk upright in foggy weather and imitate humans waving hello.

If you are not vigilant enough and are approached by a black bear, you will definitely not be able to survive at the speed of a normal person in the mountains.

Green Silk Gu continues to grow and is already capable of dealing with most poisonous insects alone. Now he basically does not need his help to catch poisonous insects.

After all, he had rarely been above the foothills of Black Wind Mountain before. If it weren't for the poison-avoiding ability of Green Silk Gu, most people would have been in trouble long ago.

A man with dark skin, a bow and arrow on his back, and dressed as a hunter sighed.

"Where did you catch it? I'm afraid it has to go to the north slope of Black Wind Mountain, right?"

A black bear that can survive in the miasma may have become a spiritual monster.

Zhou Qing smiled.

"Anyway, just don't go to the North Slope. As for the specific places you can't go to," the man shook his head.

It takes many hunters generations to figure out which areas are dangerous and which areas are safe and suitable for hunting, so naturally they will not share them easily.

Zhou Qing nodded and entered the Baiwei Building under the envious eyes of the mountain residents.

The meat of the snow rabbit is great for replenishing qi and blood and can be used as medicine. It should have been sold to Dafeng Pharmacy.

Moreover, snowshoe rabbits usually live on mountain tops, which are covered with miasma. Snowshoe rabbits are not afraid of them, but humans are not.

"Uncle, forgive me." Zhou Qing realized that he had committed a taboo.

"Oh? Snow bunny."

When he passed by the corner of the street, he found three men in black shorts near the corner cursing.

"Uncle, what happened to the north slope of Black Wind Mountain recently?" Zhou Qing asked curiously.

The snow rabbit weighed more than four kilograms. He originally expected the price to be around 450 renminbi, but he was surprised that the horse was sold for 520 renminbi.

"Puff~"

After walking out of Baiwei Building, the mountain people at the food stall at the door were still talking about Black Wind Mountain.

Ma Liu looked at Zhou Qing and said politely.

The worst case scenario is to let Green Silk Gu hunt for food close to the miasma.

This world is really unfriendly to ordinary people.

Although there are dangers on the mountain, as long as he is careful and stays away from the miasma area, the risk is controllable.

"Okay, thank you." Zhou Qing cupped his fists and saluted.

"It's okay, it's okay." The man said with a smile, not caring.

Zhou Qing secretly thought that after picking the mulberry leaves, he would go to the drug store to grab three doses of medicine to replenish qi and blood.

Zhou Qing found a seat on the edge, took out eight copper coins, bought four pancakes, ate them, and listened to the chat of the mountain people.

"Just change the area tomorrow."

One of the leaders is Zhang Dahai's second brother Zhang Cheng.

"You old man, I think you are looking for a beating, so I will give you one today."

Zhou Qing thought to himself and picked up the snow rabbit in his hand.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu." Zhou Qing put the money away.

"Wait, when I become stronger, I will come back again!" Zhou Qing took one last look at the mountain covered by the miasma, and then strode towards the town.

"You must pay attention to the time in the future. You must go down the mountain immediately in the evening."

At this time, Qingsi Gu also said that the things in the miasma were terrible and it needed to continue to grow.

It would be fine if the thing in the miasma today was an impregnated black bear, but it would be troublesome if it were something more terrifying.

Snow rabbits are the best mountain goods. They can be sold for three to four hundred cents, which is equivalent to the income of ordinary mountain people for several months.

"Brother is really talented and brave. Not many hunters dare to go to the northern slope of Black Wind Mountain recently."

They are like silkworms that are about to enter their fifth instar, not eating much, waiting to spit out the last silk thread in their bodies.

Fortunately, the thing seemed unable to leave the scope of the miasma, and did not chase him when he ran down the mountain.

One of the men yelled and cursed.

Suddenly, the man who was scolding reached out his hand, lifted the old woman who was sitting on the pony with her head down, and grabbed her collar tightly.

After all, snow rabbit meat is tender and delicious, and many wealthy people like to eat it, regardless of the price.

‘It seems that things are really not peaceful recently. ’

‘Scum! ’ Zhou Qing frowned, feeling disgusted.

"You damn old man! I knew you would come again!"

The mountain people were eating breakfast and immediately became energetic when they saw Zhou Qingti walking around with a snow rabbit.

Ma Liuti lifted up the snow rabbit's ears, brushed away the hair and checked it. After confirming, he took out the scale and weighed it.

"Brother, if you still have such good goods next time, you can send them over again. The price is absolutely fair." Ma Liu said with a smile on his face.

In the nearby villages and towns, mountain residents would disappear every once in a while, disappearing among the mountains.

Although there is no substantive content, for Zhou Qing, he can still filter out useful information.

It was still early, but a group of mountain people had already gathered at the food stall at the entrance of Baiweilou.

In addition to almost encountering dirty things, today's harvest is still very big.

A few days ago, the Liang family's aunt mentioned that there were unclean things in the mountains in the next village at night. Although he remembered it at the time, he never thought that he would encounter it.

There have been heavy floods along the Heishui River recently, and the Black Wind Mountains are not safe either.

"Good boy! This snow rabbit on your hand is so fat, little brother!"

After all, he can't just lie at home and have someone give him money, he has to make money on his own.

But with the Green Silk Gu around, I guess four or five doses would be enough.

Moreover, before bears eat people, they like to play with them until they are half disabled, and then eat them alive when they have no strength to resist but are still conscious.

"This street is guarded by our wild wolf gang. You are not allowed to set up stalls without paying!"

Zhou Qing responded.

"Huh?" Zhou Qing paused.

"Puff!" Green Silk Gu was also full of fighting spirit.

The cruelty is comparable to Ling Chi!

Zhou Qing felt a little scared.

He and his two younger brothers surrounded a vegetable vendor.

"It's a little over four and a half kilograms. It's really good stuff. I'll get it for five hundred and twenty cents. Do you think it's feasible?"

"I wonder what is in the mountains and forests inside the miasma?"

"If you sell this snowshoe rabbit, you can eat three meals a day this month."

"Definitely." Zhou Qing clasped his fists.

"Don't worry, I will still take you to hunt during the day."

"I got so much money from selling snow rabbits this time, so I can grab three doses of body-building decoction to replenish my health."

The shopkeeper's surname is Ma, a young old man who seems to be quite shrewd. Because he is a professional at home, many people call him Ma Liu, and some people also call him Liu Ye.

Hunters, herb collectors, woodcutters, tea farmers and other mountain people will get up early, eat a few fried cakes and a large bowl of sweet tofu. The energy required for physical work in the morning will have been fully accumulated, and they can take a breather. Ready to go up the mountain.

Zhou Qing walked through the market, passed by a steamed bun shop, and bought four more large meat buns.

"Keep it, little brother." Ma Liu took out half a coin, and then counted twenty copper coins to Zhou Qing.

Sure enough, if you walk too much at night, you are more likely to encounter "ghosts".

After eating the pancakes, Zhou Qing stood up, carried the basket and left.

Since there is dirt in the miasma area on the leeward slope, let’s go to the windward slope tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Zhou Qing carried a basket on his back and carried the snow rabbit to Changle Lane in the center of the town.

Especially today, the green silk Gu has entered the mature stage and should become stronger.

Wei Hongyu said that he had to drink ten doses of medicine to replenish his energy and blood.

Only by eating more meat can you gain strength.

"Master Liu, do you want a four and a half kilogram snow rabbit?" Zhou Qing put the snow rabbit tied with a rope on the counter.

However, considering the virtue of Dafeng Drug Store, he planned to come to Baiweilou to ask about the price first.

After working hard all his life, all he wanted was food and clothing for his family and enough to save enough for summer and autumn taxes every year.

The man raised his hand to hit someone.

Suddenly, his wrist was held tightly by a hand that was not wide.
