Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

Almost all the fruits from several generations on the eighteen large trees had been picked down, forming a thick layer in the forest.

Zhou Guo didn't know how many bags he had picked up, but there were already seven or eight piles of fruits like small hills by the shelling team.

She noticed that at the beginning those people were reluctant to throw away even the fruits the size of their fingernails, but now they don't even bother to look at them.

None of the adults or children had a rest.

Everyone was busy from morning until noon, then in the afternoon. When it got dark in the evening, they continued to work with torches. They didn't even have time to cook, and they all went to the bathroom in a hurry.

The old man had already told them that this thing had always been something only the rich and powerful could afford to eat. In a good year, a pound of it could be sold for as little as eight hundred coins, and in a bad year it could even be sold for one and a half ounces of silver.

Oh my God, everyone was shocked by this!

One pound can be sold for eight hundred coins! !

That ten catties is eight taels of silver! !

Looking at the pile of fruits in front of them, someone asked in a trembling voice: "This...this...this must be...how much...how much silver money?"

The fruits were automatically exchanged for money. Everyone seemed to see the money falling in front of them. They were rich! They had never seen so much money in their entire lives.

Zhou Guo was also happy to see these people who were so happy that they didn't know which way was east, west, or north. But the biggest problem at the moment was how were they going to transport so many fruits?

After all, the cart has limited capacity, and most importantly, the cart also has limited capacity, so how can we take away the remaining items?

Zhou Dacang waved his hand and said happily: "Why bother so much? Anyway, we will find a way when the time comes. We can't just leave so much money here, right? It's all money. It's not easy to make a lot of money. Just because you can't take it away, you don't want to take it away? No one would do this, don't worry."

In the middle of the night, the village head spoke again, "Make something to eat first. If you don't eat for a day, adults can bear it, but children can't. If you get tired, you won't even be able to find a doctor."

No one is willing to move!

Eight hundred coins per pound!

In the end, the children couldn't stand the hunger anymore, so they set up the stove and pot and started cooking.

Normally, the adults were afraid that the children would not be able to handle the food properly and would not let them touch the grain bags. But now they could not care less. The adults stretched their necks to take a look and saw that the children had not made much food, so they went back to their own work.

Zhou Xing from the Zhou family cooks with her younger brothers and sisters.

Zhou Guo followed Zhou Dacang and cut the shoulder pole, thinking that if there was no room on the cart, everyone would have to carry it.

Fleeing famine is hard enough. You have to walk such a long way every day without having enough to eat. How can you walk if you are carrying such a heavy load on your shoulders?

But everyone was very enthusiastic. "I have never seen such a precious thing in my life. I am willing to carry it, not to mention carrying it."

"That's right. You said that our ancestors have been digging for food in the fields for generations. We spend all day either in the fields or in the mountains. How come such precious things grow in the mountains?"

Everyone nodded. That was not the case. They had never seen such precious things growing in the mountains. They were also people who lived by the mountains.

The village head walked around with his hands behind his back and looked around. After hearing this, he said, "People always say that there are delicacies from the mountains and the sea. It turns out that there are all good things in the mountains. It's just that we have never been to school and have never been out of the house. We have never seen any good things. If we came across this thing, we would definitely not even look at it. It shows that this good thing must meet someone who knows the value of it, otherwise it will be useless."

Everyone nodded in agreement, this was the truth. They began to praise Zhou Guo again, saying that this kid was lucky and blessed. They turned around and praised Old Man Zhao at the side, saying that he was knowledgeable and capable, and that he could still fly at such an old age, which was really amazing!

Old man Zhao felt a little embarrassed by the praise from this group of simple people.

Seeing that there was no one around him, Zhou Guo quietly moved over, pointed at the tree and asked, "Grandpa Zhao, is the skill you just used to jump onto the tree a Qinggong? Can you fly higher?"

Old Master Zhao glanced at her and nodded, saying, "Qinggong, if you master it, you can run faster than wild animals like rabbits and pheasants. You can catch them with ease. It's no problem in a forest like this. You can move between tree trunks as nimbly as a monkey and leap up to 30 or 40 feet high!"

Zhou Guo asked expectantly, "Can it float on water? Leave no trace on the snow, come and go without a trace, fly in the sky like a fairy?"

Mr. Zhao was stunned. He stared for a long while and said, "You think this is a play? Floating on the water, flying around, where in the world is there such a skill? Have you ever seen it?"

Zhou Guo was extremely disappointed, "No?"

"No, there is such a light skill that I would like to learn!" said Mr. Zhao angrily.

"So what kind of Qinggong is this? It just makes your legs more flexible and allows you to jump better, similar to parkour."

The old man didn't hear clearly for a moment, "What's cool?"

Then he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about what's cool about it. Anyway, this is Qinggong. When you have mastered it in the future, although you can't fly in the sky like a fairy, you can still be as light as a swallow. You can jump onto the roof with a light jump, and you can jump forward to a distance of 20 to 30 meters. You can use some force in the middle and continue to jump forward. It won't be a problem to go another 20 to 30 meters."

Zhou Guo's eyes widened instantly, and he pointed his index finger at his nose and asked in disbelief, "I practice?"

Mr. Zhao glanced over and asked, "Why, you don't want to practice?"

“Practice, practice, practice. I’ll practice, I’ll practice. Hahahaha…” Zhou Guo nodded repeatedly and laughed happily. He then kowtowed to Old Man Zhao and said, “Master, please accept my disciple’s greetings!”

Old man Zhao stroked his beard with satisfaction, and was very happy that his disciple had made progress.

In the blink of an eye, the identities of the two people became different.

The people around were stunned.

Everyone wants to become a disciple, including Zhou Dacang.

Mrs. Li was very happy. For her, knowing her daughter could learn skills made her happier than anything else. She also realized that her daughter was different from them who had been digging in the fields all their lives. Her daughter was capable, had her own ideas, and was very strong. In this chaotic world, if she could have someone like Mr. Zhao who knew martial arts to teach her, she would feel more at ease.

Xu poked Zhou Gu and Zhou Mi at the side and said, "Look, my sister has become a disciple. You should also go and learn some skills from Master Zhao."

All the children in the team had the same idea, and under the instigation of their families, they all came towards Old Man Zhao.

Old man Zhao shook his head and said, "I am old now. It all depends on fate when I accept disciples. This girl and I are destined to be together. We are destined to be a master and disciple. I cannot teach other children."
