After his parents died of illness, Zhang Chi and his sister relied on each other for their lives, thanks to the help of neighbors and the daily rations from the Salesian Bureau in the city, they survived the most difficult years.

Zhang Chi heard footsteps at the bottom of the mountain, no matter who came, seeing the harvest in his hands, he must have caused some trouble, so he carefully curled up the centipede essence into a ball and put it in the blanket to put it away.

After a while, the uncle took three steps and made two steps, jumped up to the Jiming Rock, and found that his nephew and niece were unharmed, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Chi learned the "Angri Divine Mantra" in Jimingyan, consciously inherited a little favor from Angri Xingjun, and began to cultivate after carefully appeasing his sister's emotions.

Looking at the bright sun, it was really painful, and in an instant, the flabby eyes were blurred by tears, not to mention the unpredictable true fire of the sun, and he didn't even touch the edge.

"Forget it! Xingjun's magic of controlling the sun, and it is also closely related to the sun realm, this is not an interest in the ability to achieve it overnight. I still concentrate on seeking "Five Poisons Rancid Soup", which is a very effective recipe. ”

Zhang Chi touched the blanket containing the centipede essence molting shell, although it was a big risk to take it in vain just now, but the real thing was in hand, and he was still in a good mood.

"The next step is the frog den in Tianchi Mountain? Or the cockscomb snake in Liuchun Lake? I just got the Angri curse, which is related to the big rooster, presumably this is the hint given by fate in the dark! I have decided, kill Liuchun Lake and kill the cockscomb snake!"

The plan has been decided, Zhang Chi is thinking about how to prepare for all kinds of snake removal matters, realgar is naturally inevitable, and other means of resisting snakes must also be implemented in advance.

Besides, it is still the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, snakes and insects are dormant, and the cockscomb snake will wake up from hibernation until spring comes to sting the solar terms and everything recovers.

"Even if I really disturb this basilisk, forcibly wake up from hibernation, hungry, stiff muscles, weak muscles, and strength will definitely be less than one-tenth of what it was in its heyday, with my current means, I should be able to catch it. ”

Thinking of this section, Zhang Chi did not hesitate any longer, sent his sister down the mountain first, just in time for the meal, so after humbling himself, he sat down calmly and began to eat.

My uncle's family is good, he is harsh on weekdays, and he will inevitably be generous during the New Year, and he has prepared a table of hard dishes, which really makes the owner of the family have more face.

Home-raised little hens, cut into small pieces and marinate them in ginger cooking wine for a while to remove the fishy taste, heat a large spoon of rapeseed oil, stir-fry in a pot, wait for six or seven to mature, put in the mushrooms soaked in warm water, stir-fry a few times, add some cold water, cover the pot, turn to low heat and simmer.

When the rice is ready to be served, the stewed chicken with shiitake mushrooms comes out of the pot, a large pot is full, the soup is fluffy and yellow, the fragrant is fragrant, the chicken is firm, and the mushrooms that have absorbed enough chicken essence are not to mention the taste.

Zhang Chi sandwiched two pieces of chicken for himself, and gave one to his sister as usual, watching her bury her head in the rice, her face showed inexplicable joy.

There are also whole braised carp on the table, stewed duck with winter bamboo shoots, soybean pig's trotters, boiled elbows, not to mention oily braised pork, and only stir-fried cabbage is fresh vegetables.

Of course, the eight treasure vegetables that blend red and white shredded radish, tofu skin, bean sprouts, snow cabbage, shredded bamboo shoots, black fungus, and daylily are a furnace of eight treasure vegetables, which is refreshing and suitable for all ages, just used to relieve greasy.

Zhang Chi didn't eat much, he was slow and organized, he put down his chopsticks when he was full, and he was calm and scary, and a sentence of youth and old Chengdu was not enough to describe his person.

Uncle has seen it with his own eyes, this good nephew dares to risk falling to his death, and the ruthless man who explores the treasure in Jiming Rock is naturally impressed.

The second uncle, third uncle, and younger uncle didn't know the details, and they didn't have much thought about this nephew, most of them were for the sake of the dead sister and brother-in-law.

After lunch, Zhang Chi took advantage of the gap on the table for his aunts to clean up the table, and proposed to the uncle who took out a hookah and was about to take a sip that he would go to Liuchun Lake for three or five days, and at least return in the evening of the next day.

In the past, the uncle who claimed to be a parent naturally would not agree, and the nephew "went away" alone, but he had seen Zhang Chi's skills earlier, so he did not say anything against it.

With his nod, the rest is how to appease his sister. Fortunately, after experiencing being sent to poverty, she is also sensible and knows when she can be willful and when she must be quiet.

Besides, the brother left the beckoning cat "a penny" to be her companion, and when she was fine, basking in the sun and petting the cat was also a happy thing in life, and there was no reason to object.

"Brother, you go out alone, be careful in everything, don't leave me alone. ”

Zhang Chi listened to his sister's words and couldn't help laughing: "Silly girl, my brother is really going for the future, I am not completely sure, at least eighty percent! ”

The two brothers and sisters waved goodbye at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Chi remembered the spirituality of "a penny", and explained unhurriedly: "Little sister, you remember to me that the windfall from heaven is for the sake of great blessing, if you don't take it, it will be a disaster." ”

After speaking, he walked away without looking back, thinking about how many more snake-removing belongings he could buy for the copper plate in his waist bag.

As for the younger sister, she held the beckoning cat with both hands, looking at the figure of her brother who had gone away, and she once again experienced the feeling of being alone, and couldn't help but tighten her hands hard.

"A penny" is a civet cat after all, and he once wandered in Longqiu City, grabbing food in the garbage heap, even if his chest and ribs were in pain, he only "meowed" a few times, which woke up the hostess.

The younger sister reacted immediately, and quickly let go of her hands, and the beckoning cat immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and jumped on the shoulders of the hostess, and its unique spirituality spread out, affecting the wealth of ordinary people, making the money like flowing water, from the hands of the rich on the high, to the poor people.

My sister is also a awake person, and she has developed the habit of bowing her head all year round, and suddenly found that there was a shiny thing on the bank of the stream at the foot of the mountain, so she couldn't help but pick it up curiously.

This is a soybean-sized, crystal clear water jade bead, worth no less than ten taels of silver, that is, ten hanging coins, a total of 10,000 Wen.

I don't know which daredevil's jewelry left here, but it happened to be discovered by the Zhang family's sister.

At this point, she vaguely understood why her brother would find this civet cat, and constantly raise dried fish every day, it turned out that it had such a magical function.

It's just that with such a valuable bead, Zhang Chi's sister is really a little nervous, and her little head is shaking from side to side, for fear that someone will jump out nearby, saying that she is the owner, and asking her to return this valuable water jade bead.

"My brother said: Windfall from heaven is for great blessing, if you don't take it, woe to you! I will hide it first, and then I will make plans when my brother returns. ”

In this way, the simple and kind little sister was led astray by Zhang Chi's words and deeds, and he himself didn't know anything about it.

At the same time, after Zhang Chi left Jiming Mountain, he did not rush to Liuchun Lake alone, but went straight to Longqiu City to buy all kinds of snake killers.

The indispensable realgar, don't say that there are regular pharmacies where doctors sit and are listed, even small stalls and hawkers also have a place, which is not much worse than a medicine store.

As for the sharp blade, because Zhang Chi has no fame, he can't buy it from the weapon shop and legally carry it with him. The people in the rivers and lakes, the ranger boys, are all people with backgrounds and deep backgrounds, and the government naturally turns a blind eye.

Besides, not to mention the hardcover sword weapon with complete decorations, it is an ordinary Qingfeng sword, and the price will not be less than ten taels of silver, which is difficult to smelt and build.

In desperation, Zhang Chi bought a few willow leaf flying knives to fill the scene, returned to Luosi Lane, and asked a neighbor to borrow a sharp firewood knife.

This is not the end, Zhang Chi remembered that the cockscomb snake was delicious chicken, so he used the means of Meng Weijun's guest and borrowed a big rooster to "be a matchmaker".

Then, he bought another jar of flower carvings, put in part of the realgar, stirred it evenly and mixed it into realgar wine, and drunk the big rooster, and then left Longqiu City and embarked on the country road to Liuchun Lake.

At this point, Zhang Chi used up all the windfall he earned, and only kept the reward he received as a poor god on the fifth day of the first month, three cents of silver.

"I have a feeling that the fortune of the poor god is still following around. Even if I find the beckoning cat, through the spirituality of the God of Wealth's pets, it will only cure the symptoms and not the root cause. No matter how much money I have, I'm sure I'll spend it all. ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi couldn't help laughing: "Shi Ye!
