Strange And Troubled Times: Eternal Life Begins From Marrying A Wife

Chapter 20: Anomaly's Bamboo Basket

After drinking tea for a while, Jiang Yong took out a specially made pot from his body.

Then he carefully dripped pig blood from the pot onto the bamboo basket.

"Captain Jiang, what are you doing?" Qin Feng looked at Jiang Yong with a puzzled expression.

"Brother Qin, this is a blood sacrifice!" Jiang Yong smiled and said, "To obtain medicinal herbs from Soft Wind Mountain, we must use a blood sacrifice on Soft Wind Mountain!"

After Jiang Yong finished speaking, he continued to drip onto the bamboo basket.

He dripped twenty bamboo baskets full before putting away the special pot.

Upon hearing Jiang Yong's words, Qin Feng finally understood.

It turns out that every time they go up the mountain to collect herbs, more than ten laborers die.

It's not accidental at all.

It's intentional by Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

By intentionally dripping pig blood, they let the Caged Lantern Anomaly kill those people.

The two times Qin Feng obtained bamboo baskets with pig blood were purely due to bad luck.

Qin Feng asked in confusion, "Captain Jiang, won't those laborers suspect anything?"

Jiang Yong took a sip of tea and said, "Brother Qin, what can those laborers do even if they suspect?"

"If it weren't for Eternal Peace Medicine Manor, those people would starve to death!"

"And with so many laborers, the death of a dozen or so won't cause any ripples!"

Qin Feng fell silent. It was currently a chaotic era of Anomalies.

If it weren't for the protection of Eternal Peace Medicine Manor, all those laborers would starve to death.

And every day, there are large numbers of poor people selling themselves to enter Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

What puzzled Qin Feng even more was why Jiang Yong would tell him this information.

"Brother Qin, I've opened a escort agency in Eternal Peace County. I wonder if Brother Qin is willing to come and work for me?"

Jiang Yong asked with a smile.

So that's it!

At this moment, Qin Feng finally understood why Jiang Yong told him about this matter.

It turns out he wanted Qin Feng to help him.

If Qin Feng agrees, then everything will be fine, and there won't be any problems.

But if he refuses, Jiang Yong will definitely turn hostile.

"Captain Jiang, how will the wages be calculated?"

Qin Feng asked Jiang Yong.

"We're brothers, so you won't be at a loss!"

Jiang Yong said with a smile.

"Captain Jiang, I'm willing..."

Qin Feng stood up and said.

"Good, Brother Qin. When there's an escort job, I'll notify you!"

"You'll be in charge of distributing the bamboo baskets this time!"

Jiang Yong saw that Qin Feng agreed and had a smile on his face. Then he hurriedly left.

"Guard Qin, can we distribute the bamboo baskets now?"

"Those laborers are already waiting there!"

A laborer hurriedly walked over.

"Let's begin!"

Qin Feng waved his hand.

"Yes, sir!"

Several warehouse laborers began distributing the bamboo baskets.

The bamboo baskets with pig blood were also distributed one by one.

Looking at the laborers receiving the bamboo baskets with pig blood, Qin Feng sighed softly.

All of this was decided by the higher-ups of Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

He couldn't change anything at all.

Qin Feng also saw Zhang Han, Liu Bao, and Hu Qingfu among the crowd.

Their luck was very good, as they didn't receive any bamboo baskets with pig blood.

Zhang Han saw Qin Feng sitting there drinking tea and looked anxious, as if he wanted to come over and get closer to Qin Feng.

But Qin Feng was inside the warehouse and he couldn't come in at all.

Hu Qingfu had a happy expression on his face.

He didn't expect that Qin Feng would be promoted to guard in just one month.

Now he was responsible for distributing the bamboo baskets.

His decision to marry Qingya to Qin Feng was definitely correct.

As long as Qin Feng's status rises, his future will be better.

After distributing the bamboo baskets, Qin Feng walked towards the martial arts arena.

When Qin Feng arrived at the martial arts arena, many guards were already there.

However, these guards were all panting heavily and seemed to lack energy.

Ten minutes later, a large number of guards followed the servants towards Soft Wind Mountain.

Along the way, the guards were very relaxed.

They chatted and laughed, completely without the worries on the faces of the servants.

Half an hour later, the group arrived at the foot of Soft Wind Mountain.

Before the servants entered the camp, they were driven into Soft Wind Mountain by the guards.

Qin Feng looked at the servants being driven into Soft Wind Mountain and shook his head slightly.

A month ago, Qin Feng was also driven into Soft Wind Mountain as a servant.

But now he has become a guard.

"Brother Qin, let's have a few drinks together!"

Xiao Ma happily pulled Qin Feng towards the warehouse.

At this moment, everyone except the patrolling guards was sitting inside the camp.

And in front of everyone, there was food and drink prepared.

"This is arranged by Manager Liu Cheng, specially prepared for us!"

Xiao Ma was very excited.

Every time they went out with Liu Cheng, he would prepare food and drink for them.

"Liu Cheng!"

Qin Feng instantly remembered the black bead in Liu Cheng's hand.

And the bandits of Black Wind Mountain.

"Qin Feng, what are you staring at? Hurry up and eat!"

"After eating, we still have to go on patrol!"

Xiao Ma pulled Qin Feng.

"Okay, okay!"

Qin Feng sat at the table and started eating.

After everyone finished drinking, they bragged for a while and then got up to patrol inside the camp.

But after only about ten minutes of patrol, they returned to the warehouse to drink tea and chat.

There were even more than ten guards gambling on the side.

Qin Feng silently walked to a secluded place and began to practice the Ferocious Tiger Fist Technique.

"Good!"

After Qin Feng finished a round of punches, he saw Liu Cheng sneak into a servant's dormitory.

After three minutes, Liu Cheng walked out of the dormitory with a smile.

"These servants probably won't survive tonight!"

Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

Although Qin Feng knew what Liu Cheng was doing, he didn't plan to interfere.

After all, he was still very weak and not yet a match for Liu Cheng and the Black Wind Mountain.

Let alone the Anomalies.

Qin Feng practiced the Ferocious Tiger Fist Technique over and over again.

Until the sun set, Qin Feng stopped practicing.

[Ferocious Tiger Fist Technique: Great Accomplishment: 1188/2000, Qi and blood initial completion, sensing Anomalies]

"Proficiency of 1700, not bad!"

Looking at the numbers on the attribute panel, Qin Feng was in a very good mood.

Soon, the servants who went to collect herbs returned to the camp one after another.

"Five people haven't come back!"

Qin Feng quickly learned from Jiang Yong that five people did not return from their herb collection trip today.

But Jiang Yong and the other guards didn't care at all.

After all, these servants were nothing in Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

No one would care if they died.

Night.

The entire camp was very quiet.

Qin Feng sat quietly in a corner of the warehouse, looking at the guards who were lying drunk there with a speechless expression.

If enemies were to attack at this time.

These guards probably wouldn't have any resistance.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of drums came from a distance.

A faint blue light emanated from the door of the warehouse.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of drums gradually faded away.

"This is a formation?"

Curiosity filled Qin Feng's face.

If he could learn such a formation.

Then he wouldn't have to fear low-level Anomalies.

But this kind of formation was carved by Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

With his identity, he couldn't even come into contact with the carvings of Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.
