Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 33 Snowflakes Falling Silver
There was no sound of wind in the shed. There was a pale yellow crystal on the table with the word "Ding Feng" written on it. Jiang Yue knew at a glance that this treasure was enough to buy his life.

"Erlang, you have a good harvest, right? How many stalks of Tianfeng grass did you pick?"

The one-armed old man poured a cup of hot water for Jiang Yue, laughing.

"About a hundred."

Jiang Yue chuckled.

"Mr. Duo? One hundred plants?"

The old one-armed man couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard the numbers Jiang Yue uttered.

"Yes. If you count, it should be OK."

Jiang Yue pushed his animal skin bag in front of the old one-armed man.

He obtained a total of fifty plants of Tianfeng Grass from Li Tieya's hunting team, and sixty plants of Tianfeng Grass from the Ma family hunting team. He gave ten plants to Zhao Qilang, and finally he had one hundred plants of Tianfeng Grass left in his hands, so there was no problem.

The one-armed old man counted them carefully and became more and more frightened the more he counted.

In the eyes of the old one-armed man, what was in Jiang Yue's animal skin bag were not stalks of Tianfeng grass, but human lives.

One hundred stalks of Tianfeng grass represent that Jiang Yue has killed at least a dozen people!
The old one-armed man finished counting Jiang Yue's Tianfeng grass and raised his eyes to meet Jiang Yue's sunny smile.

"Old man, that's right, one hundred plants."

Jiang Yue rubbed his hands excitedly.

If the cloth at the bottom of the quiver had not been dyed dark red by blood, the old one-armed man would almost think that Jiang Yue had picked up these Tianfeng grass on the roadside.

“The number is fine, and the quality is not bad either.”

The old one-armed man glanced at Jiang Yue, took out a scale, weighed out twenty taels of silver for Jiang Yue, wrapped it in a small animal skin purse, and threw it to Jiang Yue.

Twenty taels of silver are much lighter than a thousand coins, but Jiang Yue didn't know why, he always felt that these twenty taels of silver were much heavier than a thousand coins, and they felt heavy in his hand.

After receiving the twenty taels of silver, Jiang Yue felt like it was a dream.

"Haha, Jilang, you can reconsider what I said last time."

The old one-armed man smiled and said, "The head of the Luo family is an official appointed by the imperial court. He is very different from those crude country gentlemen you have seen and heard of. Working for the Luo family is definitely a good way out."

"Okay, I'll think about it again."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly, indicating that he would definitely consider it carefully.

After all, the old one-armed man had told him many times, and Jiang Yue could feel that the old one-armed man was doing it for his own good.

However, he really couldn't escape from the mountains, and he would probably have to live with the mountains for the rest of his life, so he had to give up on the idea of ​​working as a security guard in the Luo family.

Or a martial arts sect like the Qimen is more suitable for him. He can do whatever he wants, without any constraints and is free.

"Alright, seeing that you are not interested in this, I will not say much more."

The old one-armed man smiled and said, "But you are a capable guy. There is a job in the mountains in a few days. I will pay you ten taels of silver. Do you want to come?"

"so much?"

“It’s a bit dangerous.”

"As long as I have a lot of money, I'm not afraid of danger..."

Jiang Yue smiled slightly, put the purse into his arms and kept it close to his body.

Walking out of the shed, Jiang Yue felt that the air was a little fresher. The scenery at the entrance of Lijia Village was so beautiful. The wild dogs at the entrance of the village all had handsome features.

At this time, Zhao Qilang and Zhao Sishu had also exchanged their silver. They walked out of the shed with happy faces and met Jiang Yue.

"Let's go back to the village."

Jiang Yue, his two companions and their dog did not stay long at the entrance of Lijia Village and returned directly to Funiu Village.

The three of them attracted a lot of attention, especially those who coveted Xiaotian, and many people were ready to make a move.

However, not long after, news came out that all of Li Tieya's "man-eating" team were killed, and only Jiang Yue walked out alive. The Ma family hunting team was almost killed as well, and the survivors were from the same village as Jiang Yue, who was leading the dog.

not to be trifled!
These three words appeared in the minds of all the greedy people at the same time.

Jiang Yue's name gradually spread among the hunter circles around Qingyang Town.

Although there is no evidence that Jiang Yue killed Li Tieya and the people from the Ma family hunting team, the fact that only Jiang Yue and a few others came back alive out of so many people is enough to explain everything.

"This guy is not very tall and he's holding a dog. He looks like a pushover, but I didn't expect him to be such a tough guy."

"Yes, Li Tieya and Old Li both fell, how could they be ordinary people?"

"Alas, what a pity for that good dog. It's probably worth a lot of money."

"."
-
As the sun set, Jiang Yue, his two companions and their dog returned to the entrance of Funiu Village.

Originally, Zhao Qilang and Zhao Sishu invited Jiang Yue to their house for dinner, but Jiang Yue thought that Zhao Sanshu was killed by an eagle today, and the Zhao family must have something to discuss tonight, so Jiang Yue politely declined the invitation.

Jiang Yue felt relieved only after bringing Xiaotian back to Jiang Cong's home.

Become!

He successfully escorted twenty taels of silver back home!

The atmosphere of home makes Jiang Yue feel at ease.

Xiaotian was also very happy. He ran over and squeezed into the same doghouse with Jiang Cong's big yellow dog.

Old man Jiang Cong was chopping wood in the yard. He had difficulty walking these days and could not go into the mountains to hunt, but he was not idle. He picked up a lot of dry wood from the surrounding forests to use during the winter. Silang Jiang Hao was squatting in front of a basket of wild vegetables, distinguishing and picking them.

Jiang Yue’s coming in made the two of them stop what they were doing and look at Jiang Yue.

"Erlang."

"Second brother!"

After hearing the two shouts, one old and one young, Jiang Yue smiled.

Different from the fake smile he wore when he was out there doing weird things, this smile came from Jiang Yue's heart.

"Erlang, you're back early today. Sit down and wait for a while. Grandpa is cooking now."

Old man Jiang Cong smiled.

"Grandpa, let Silang take care of the firewood chopping. Don't work so hard on yourself." Jiang Yue said with concern.

Shiro: "???"

"Hahaha."

Jiang Cong couldn't help laughing when he saw the expressions of the two brothers. He patted his trouser legs and said with a smile, "Grandpa is fine. I changed into the cotton trousers that Erlang bought today. They are much warmer and my knees are not so stiff. Xiao Silang helped me collect firewood all day, so it's rare for him to take a break."

"That's it."

Jiang Yue put his arm around Silang's shoulders and said with a chuckle, "Silang, next spring, I'll send you to the county pharmacy to be an apprentice. Do you want to go?"

Hearing this, Silang's black eyes flickered, and he couldn't hide his anticipation. He wanted to nod in agreement, but considering the situation at home, he felt a little conflicted.

"Second brother has money, just tell me if you want to go!"

Jiang Yue waved his hand, and the bulging purse swayed, and the eyes that attracted Silang swayed along with it.

"Want to go?"

"miss you!"

Shi Lang chuckled and nodded heavily: "Second brother is the best!"

"That is required."

Jiang Yue patted Shilang on the shoulder.

"Erlang, where did you get so much?"

Old Master Jiang Cong listened to the noise from the two and took a look at the purse. He thought it was bulging with several thousand coins.

"Grandpa, you need to be the cushion."

Jiang Yue handed the purse to Jiang Cong. The old man's face changed drastically as soon as he took it in his hand. He realized something was wrong. He touched it carefully and found that the purse was full of small change!
The old man was shocked.

This bag of silver coins is worth at least eighteen taels!
"Shiro, what day is today?"

"Grandpa, it's October 17th. It's going to snow a little soon."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang Cong's expression paused, he forced a smile, stuffed the purse back into Jiang Yue's arms, and went to the kitchen to cook.

After about a quarter of an hour, the rice porridge was served.

In addition, Mr. Jiang Cong also fried musk deer meat with lard and opened a pot of wine.

The meal was plentiful and there was money coming in, so Jiang Yue and Silang Jiang Hao ate happily. Even Xiaotian and Dahuang ate a lot of musk deer meat fried in lard, and the two dogs drooled while eating.

Of course, Xiaotian’s appetite is not comparable to Dahuang’s. Xiaotian ran a lot in a day and fought with Jiang Yue, so he ate several large bowls of meat.

[Life Essence +1]

[Life Essence: 7]

Seeing the increase in life essence, Jiang Yue smiled, continued to help his grandfather chop firewood for a while, and then took Xiaotian home to sleep.

When the moon passed the zenith, Silang fell into a deep sleep.

Old man Jiang Cong sat alone on a rattan chair in the yard, smoking a dry pipe and looking at the moonlight quietly.

"Ugh--"

The old man drank a glass of wine and didn't speak for a long time, until his eyes turned red, his lips trembled, and he murmured softly.

"On the fifteenth day of October, a strong wind blows, and the wronged souls on the Goshawk Cliff regret their sins."

"People here don't know the tears of wronged souls, the snowflakes and silver are exchanged for tombstones."

"I'm sorry for the hardship you have caused to you, Erlang."

Old man Jiang Cong has been living in the mountains all his life, how could he not know about the annual Goshawk Cliff?
Around October 15th, the Tianfeng grass matures and triggers poisonous miasma. Countless hunters who are greedy for money and don't care about their lives go up the mountain to pick grass, leaving behind a pile of bones.

That's a deadly place!

When Jiang Cong thought about how his grandson went to the deadly Cang Ying Cliff just to make money and send Si Lang to the pharmacy, his heart ached as if it was being cut by a knife.

Fortunately, Jiang Yue returned safely.

Jiang Cong poured the full cup of wine on the ground, killed a captive pheasant, and bowed again and again in the direction of Funiu Mountain.

"God of the mountain, may my son Erlang be safe from harm when he enters the mountain."
