Chapter 468: Can't Eat Idle Meals
"It scared the hell out of me, I thought I was going to hang here. Fang Rui patted his chest and said with palpitations.
Chen Changsheng rolled his eyes-he said it so confidently before, but he almost hung up, is your master reliable or not?
A big man in animal skins walked out of the woods with a bow and arrow, glanced at Fang Rui and Chen Changsheng, frowned, and said, "Where did you two old men come from, why are you here alone?"
Fang Rui coughed: "Our two old friends planned to travel together, but they came here to eat up the dry food, and made a trap to fight a beast to eat, but they met this beast, fortunately, thanks to the rescue of the strong man, our two elders were spared the worry of their lives, and I thank the strong man here." β
The middle-aged strong man smiled dumbly, and then shook his head: "The two old men are really bold, although this place has been a lot safer in recent decades, but there are still many fierce beasts, and they dare to go on the road alone without ...... guard" He thought about it, and couldn't find any suitable adjectives.
"Yes, it's still not good when you're old. β
Fang Rui sighed: "I think I was also a good hunter back then, and it was okay to go into the mountains and forests alone to fight tigers, but now I am old and weak......
This Orion seems to be rude, but in fact it is simple, and Fang Rui was fooled by a few words, and warmly invited them to the village as guests.
After pretending to excuse himself, Fang Rui followed the strong man and left, Chen Changsheng shook his head, and then followed.
chatting along the way, I learned that this big man surnamed Yuwen, named Yuwen Hu, is a branch of the Yuwen Department of the nearby big tribe, since more than a hundred years ago, Fang Rui killed all the demi-immortals and helped the Shenren Continent find a way to ascend, the life of the entire Shenren Continent began to live a lot better, the monks went around killing beasts and beasts to accumulate merits, so the nomadic Shenren Continent civilians also began to gradually choose to settle, but they lack agricultural knowledge, most of them settled down to hunt for a living, most of them still live on herdingγ
Yuwenhu couldn't walk far with Fang Rui and Chen Changsheng, and they arrived at a small village, which was extremely small, with only about more than 100 households, but it was a good place to live by the mountains and rivers.
At the moment, Fang Rui and Chen Changsheng lived in this village.
Seeing that Yuwenhu brought back the two old people, not too many of the villagers showed any disgust, but naturally some people felt that the two old guys who ate dry rice were too thick-skinned, and occasionally some people sneered.
Fang Rui just didn't hear it, but Chen Changsheng couldn't stand it, and he made a fuss a few times to leave, but he was suppressed by Fang Rui - I don't know why, his strength suddenly became a little greater than Chen Changsheng.
"If this world wants to increase its strength, it has to accumulate merits...... Why is my strength suddenly greater than yours now? It's because I came up with the idea of fighting the wolf, although I didn't kill the wild wolf in the end, but I gave Yuwen Hu a chance to create a zΓ o, so I got a little merit, and my strength will be greater than yours. Fang Rui said to Chen Changsheng seriously.
Chen Changsheng was very unconvinced, but with the facts in front of him, he couldn't help but be unconvinced.
"In that case, why don't we leave and go hunting everywhere?"
"You have also seen the wolf fight before, with the current ability of our two old guys, if we go to fight wolves, most of them will be eaten by wolves...... You must know that among the beasts that are harmful to civilians in the God-Man Continent, wolves are the best to fight, so we can only think of other methods. Fang Rui said with a smile.
"What's the way?" Chen Changsheng asked.
"I'm still thinking about it. Fang Rui said confidently.
Chen Changsheng let out a lament.
Day 2.
It was a sunny day, Chen Changsheng moved a bench and lay outside the house to bask in the sun, while Fang Rui was not idle, walking around the village, occasionally seeing villagers rolling their eyes at him, and waiting with a smile.
Chen Changsheng was too lazy to watch this scene, he was not angry, but Fang Rui could face the white eyes calmly, it did not mean that he could face them calmly, so it was better to be out of sight.
Behind the village was a wood, around which the villagers had built a fence to keep out wild beasts, and a river passed through the woods, right in the middle of the village, which helped the villagers to get water.
"I've been here for a few days, do you have any ideas?"
I don't know when Fang Rui finished walking around the village, stood next to Chen Changsheng's chair and asked.
"What can you think?" Chen Changsheng said lazily.
"Is there really not?" Fang Rui laughed.
Chen Changsheng opened his eyes and looked at Fang Rui in front of him.
Then he said helplessly: "It can be seen that the people in this village are not doing well, because their source of life is only hunting, and there are not many hunters in the village, and the prey they bring is not enough for the people of the whole village to consume, so they will be dissatisfied with the two of us who eat dry rice." β
"That's it, but the population of the village is actually not quite a lot, and there are hundreds of people in total, and they can live a little better. Fang Rui said with a smile.
"What's going on?" Chen Changsheng said sarcastically, "Let other people go out hunting too?" Hunters are not trained casually......
"Of course not, women and children can't be allowed to hunt too...... If there is not enough prey to eat, you naturally have to farm. Fang Rui smiled: "We can teach them to farm, so that they can have enough to eat, and with more food, they can increase more population, there will be more hunters, and there will be more beasts to destroy...... Isn't that also our merit?"
Speaking of this, Fang Rui sighed: "Now that we are aging like this, we can't even kill a rabbit, and it seems that hunting and recovering strength is no fun, since we don't have force, we can only use our brains." β
Chen Changsheng also sighed, the way he was now, it was too depressing for Chen Changsheng, who was used to using power.
"Power alone is not enough. Fang Rui taught him: "Just like if you want to open the passage of this world, this may be possible by violence, but such a perfect world, why do you want to break it violently? Is it really a good thing to break it? With so many living beings, you have to think about it for them." β
"Needless to say, I don't have the strength to break this world right now anyway...... Perhaps, I should learn from you and leave this world in other ways. Chen Changsheng said expressionlessly.
Fang Rui smiled slightly.
From a top-level immortal monarch to a commoner like this, Fang Rui's mentality has not changed much, and he is even happier to see Chen Changsheng gradually changing.
Maybe it was because of the loss of strength that Chen Changsheng had such a transformation, but no matter what, Fang Rui didn't want to leave such a dangerous Chen Changsheng behind.
The swordsman is of course extremely upright, but if he is upright, he may also hurt himself while hurting others.
asked the villagers to borrow a hunting fork, and Fang Rui threw the hunting fork to Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng took the hunting fork, and he didn't know why.
"Do you see the land at the east end of the village? Next to the river, the land is fertile, and it is a good place for farming...... You level this land, the climate here is good. β
"Then what are you doing?" Chen Changsheng pestled the hunting fork and asked Fang Rui with bad intentions.
"I'm going to look for the seeds...... What do you see, do you know the seeds?"
Chen Changsheng resigned himself to turning the ground, he really didn't know the seeds......
With the little bastard, humming a song, Fang Rui walked out of the village and walked around the village.
If you want to cultivate, you naturally need seeds, although the Divine Continent is much poorer than the Flying Immortal Continent, but it is only relatively speaking, the products are still very rich, and all kinds of plants have also been restored in the past hundred years, it is not difficult to find what Fang Rui is looking for.
After walking outside for most of the day, Fang Rui found what he was looking for.
It was a bush of wild millet.
Millet is one of the earliest grains.
This is exactly what Fang Rui was looking for.
When Fang Rui came back with half a bag of millet seeds, the women and children in the village were watching Chen Changsheng level the land, pointing curiously, not knowing what crazy this old man who was usually full and only knew how to bask in the sun.
"Friends of the Yuwen Department, old man, I and this old man have been here for several days, and we have been bothering you, and I am a little unhappy in my heart, so we plan to make some contributions to the village. β
Fang Rui walked over with millet on his shoulder, and then shouted loudly.
Yu Wenhu, who had just returned from hunting, said with a smile: "Old Man Fang, what are these words, just the two of you, how much can you eat...... Contribute or something, it's free. β
Many people pouted at that time, although Fang Rui and Chen Changsheng lived in Yuwen Hu's house, they also ate Yuwen Hu, but as a tribe person, Yuwen Hu was the best hunter in this village, and the prey he caught was contributed to the village except for his own consumption, and now that Fang Rui and they came, the share of others would naturally decrease.
Yu Wenhu didn't care, but it was inevitable that other people would gossip.
"We two old fellows used to be stewards in another village...... There are fewer hunters in that village than you, but their lives are much better than yours, at least they never worry about not being able to eat...... If you can do what I do, I promise that in a year or two, you will never have to worry about running out of food. β
As soon as Fang Rui said this, everyone's ears stood up.
For the civilians on the God-Man Continent, to have a full stomach, and then to live, it is best to have food that can raise more children, that is their lifelong pursuit!
However, the products of the Divine Continent are relatively poor, and although the number of fierce beasts has decreased in the past hundred years, it has also brought a large increase in population, and the pressure on food has become even greater.
Now Fang Rui said that there was a way to make them all stop worrying about food - how could they not be interested!
Seeing the hot eyes of the villagers, Fang Rui smiled with satisfaction.
Since you have a need, it's easy to do.
"Old Man Fang, is what you said true?" Yu Wenhu was also excited.
"Naturally, it's true, the old man doesn't want to be driven away by you yet. Fang Rui touched his beard and laughed.
Chen Changsheng pursed his lips behind his back.
