In the year 4712 of the Divine Calendar, the year 947 of the Kingdom Gregorian calendar, the weather was still a little cold. Today is Wednesday, and there are 4 days left before the annual Spring Birthday Ceremony.

In even-numbered years, the door of calamity in the Demon Realm could be opened at any time. However, at this time, Gray Qingyan didn't have time to think too much at all, and his whole mind was on the green vines in front of him.

"Haha, it's 4 pieces of raw kudzu again! I knew that this place wouldn't leave me empty-handed. ”

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ash stood up straight, looking at the harvest at his feet with joy in his eyes: "Hey, these harvests are enough for the whole family to eat for a while." ”

Pueraria lobata is not a serious grain, but the rhizome part of the pueraria that grows in the cracks of the rocks on Mangshan Mountain. It can be eaten in spring, and it has a sweet taste when chewed carefully.

Raw kudzu root not only tastes good and can be used as a food substitute, but also has medicinal value, but it is very difficult to excavate.

To dig raw kudzu in the cracks of the rocks, you must not only be very careful, but also have enough strength. Not to mention the time it takes, the success rate is very low.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way to think of it, no one would risk their lives to collect raw kudzu. After all, the growth environment of fire arrowroot is more concentrated on cliffs.

And Gray said lightly, he belongs to a group of people who really have no way to think about it. Every year, the green and yellow season is the most difficult time for the gray family's life.

Eight years ago, the door of disaster in the demon world opened, and Mangshan Town was affected by the disaster. My father was also seriously injured and was dying.

In order to save his father's life, the family sold almost all of their fields, and the living standard of the gray family plummeted. Although his father's life was saved in the end, he lost a leg forever and could no longer do heavy work.

As a result, the livelihood of the family of five, including Gray Qingyan and her younger siblings, all fell on the shoulders of her mother. My mother, who worked hard day and night, finally collapsed 3 years ago.

To this day, Gray Qingyan can't forget the scene when his mother was working, suddenly fainted and never woke up.

When my mother died, she was only 30 years old, and the final conclusion given by the pharmacist was that my mother was exhausted to death.

It was from that day that Gray Qingyan, as the eldest son in the family, silently resisted the livelihood of the whole family at the age of 12. His disabled father and younger siblings need his care.

Under the weight of life, Gray Qingyan, who has just turned 16, is significantly thinner and shorter than his peers.

As much as possible, he will make sure that his father and younger siblings are fed, and he will be last in line.

However, from his slightly immature but resolute cheeks, you can still see a bit of rigid lines and sharp corners. Over time, if you can get more adequate nutritional supplements, you will surely grow into a man with a rather masculine temperament.

“1、2、3...... 14, well, there are already 14 pieces. After gathering all the raw kudzu, Ash thought about it again.

The medicine halls in the town will be purchased at a price of 6-10 copper horns per piece, depending on the quality. Today, these raw kudzu roots are estimated to be exchanged for about 1 silver shield and 16 copper horns.

Gray Qingyan's eyesight has long been exercised by the pressure of life, and it is not much worse than that of ordinary pharmacists. The quality of raw kudzu is good, he can see it at a glance.

Although he didn't go to school and didn't even know a few big characters, he successfully practiced a very practical arithmetic ability in the tempering of life. How much money can be exchanged for different raw kudzu, and how much brown rice can be bought with this money, he can even calculate it directly.

Everyone in the town said that he was smart, and if he could be a serious apprentice, he might be able to become a shopkeeper in the future.

For children from poor families who lack the talent for cultivation, being able to become a businessman is already a rare luxury in the future.

It's a pity that he was delayed by his family.

But Gray has never complained about anything, no matter how poor the family is, it is also his relatives. If you abandon them, no matter how much money you make, how can you talk about happiness! Besides, she firmly believes that with her own efforts and sweat, she will definitely be able to improve the lives of the whole family.

At present, 1 x brown rice in this season is 6 copper horns, mixed with enough wild vegetables to make rice balls and dip in some sauce, which is enough for the whole family to have a good meal. If it is boiled into rice porridge, it is enough to eat for a day.

Although it has been hard these days, Ash has also exchanged it for almost 6 silver shields by collecting raw kudzu. Save a little and eat for 2 months is absolutely no problem.

But the spring birthday ceremony is coming, and it's not good to let the younger siblings not even have a small gift in the first festival of the year!

More money is always needed to prepare for the holidays, not to mention that my father's medicine is running out.

For the sake of his family, Ash decided to try harder. After all, after the spring birth ceremony, the raw kudzu is basically gone. At this time, the fire kudzu will be transformed, and the whole body will exude high temperatures.

Raw kudzu can be eaten, can be used medicinally, and can be sold for money, but can it be cooked...... Anyway, Ash whispered and didn't know what the use was.

If you don't take advantage of the last few days to refuel, there will be no such shop in this village.

Looking up, there are stones everywhere on Mang Mountain, and the number of arrows growing in the cracks is not much. Most of the hard work of these days has already been collected, and the rest is scattered, and it is all grown on the edge of the cliff.

"Well, I'll see...... Grab the stick, jump over and squeeze in the middle, and be careful. Well, the quality of the raw kudzu under this fire kudzu plant should be very good. Okay, that's you!"

Even though the steps have been carefully calculated, it is still difficult to actually do.

Not only did I feel a hot pain in my palm, but I also kept blowing waves of cold wind in my ears.

However, Gray Qingyan didn't care about these at all, and concentrated on digging the sand and gravel, and tried to be as careful as possible. After all, he is now halfway up the Mang Mountain, and the vertical distance from the ground is definitely more than 2 leads.

If you are not careful, you will only be left with a broken body and bones.

The spring sun is not very hot, but it is still unbearable after almost a day.

Ash spoke softly, and his mouth was dry, and he was almost sweating all over. But he didn't bother to drink water, but very carefully dug out a few pieces of raw kudzu.

As predicted just now, the quality of these raw kudzu roots is good, and they can definitely be sold for a good price.

"Well, the money for the Spring Birthday Ceremony is about the same. Turning his head to see that it was not too early, Ash decided to go home.

The process of returning is not easy at all, and the good quality arrowroot always grows on the cliff faces.

As soon as he let go of the warped wood and fell to the ground, before Ash could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a shake under his feet.

What's the matter, didn't you stand firm?

Before he could stabilize his mind, he found that it was not his body shaking, but the entire Mangshan shaking.

Thundered!

Not good, it's an earthquake!

There has never been an earthquake in Mangshan, and Gray Qingyan has only heard of such an earthquake, but he has never seen it. This kind of situation of the sky falling apart is beyond the limits of anyone's imagination.

As the shaking of Mangshan began, Gray said that he could do nothing but hide behind two huge rocks and cling to the stones.

The entire mountain seemed to be shaken by an invisible giant, and in the violent shaking, countless rocks and trees broke away from their places and frantically threw them around.

For a moment it was dusty, and there was a gray mist everywhere, and there were gravel trees flying all over the sky.

Countless gravel branches smashed on Ash Qingyan's body and arms, cutting wounds and bleeding, but he didn't care about them at all.

All that was left in my ears was the roar of rocks, and I couldn't see anything but dust.

When Gray Qingyan heard a sharp whistling sound, he saw a round boulder the size of a millstone already glowing with silver light, and smashed it in front of him.

Rumble!

Before he could react, he was hit on the head by a boulder.

It's over, it's dead!

The immensity of the impact instantly poured into my mind......

......

On the outside of Mangshan Mountain, a group of several people are slowly walking on the rugged mountain road.

Except for a few companions on both sides who were obviously followers, there were a few young people sitting on top of the Trap Beast in the middle. They all looked gorgeously dressed, and their eyebrows and eyes were full of arrogance, which was quite extraordinary.

The others walked on the Mang Mountain, all of them were one foot high and one foot low, which was quite difficult, but the few people in the center sat on the machine beast leisurely, and even took out the wine and toasted to drink.

"Well, as I said, the Trap Beast I bought this time is of the best quality! Even on this steep mountain road, it is as if it were walking on the ground. ”

"Sure enough, it is worthy of the handwriting of a drunken master, it is really extraordinary. Huo Jiulang, your business is really worth it!"

It was the man in the middle above the Trap Beast who was praised for his early twenties. Tall and long, with good facial features, dressed in brocade clothes, holding a wine glass and raising it, naturally revealing the jade ring between the wrists.

Just by the touch of red and dazzling color that seems to be revealed on it, you know that it is worth a lot.

"Hahaha, that's not worth anything!" That being said, the smug look between his eyebrows and eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

"It's not worth saying? Who doesn't know that Master Drunk never makes works easily, Huo Jiulang you can get his trap beast, tsk, I still can't believe it!"

"Yes, yes, tell us how you said that the drunken master made a move? I really can't think of what method you used. ”

"Hmph, what's the matter? Although Master Drunk is very famous, my second brother has written a letter to him, how can he not give face!"

There are not many words, but the pride in them can be heard by anyone.

The name of the drunken master Nuo Da, who doesn't know how many people here. But when he heard him say this, the two people around him didn't even question it at all, but they sighed again and again.

"Oh, this is worthy of being the first of the four shows in Huanshan City, and in the future, the four major families in Huanshan City will be re-ranked. ”

"The name of your Erlang, even if I am in Silver Spring City, I have heard a lot. People say that the fire family is like a ......"

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly the world swirled, as if the whole world was shaken. The mechanism beast that was as stable as Mount Tai was also shaking for the first time at this time.

"Oh no, the whole mountain seems to be shaking!"

"What the hell is going on? What's going on!"
