Chapter 3: Stealing is not a sin

During these five years, Yun Duo occasionally made an appearance in the town to maintain his sense of existence, but he never stayed overnight in the town. At first, the people in the town knew that he was not devoured by the demon beast, and the people of the town were shocked by the survival ability of this child.

They would love to know the secret of the clouds' survival, because being able to survive in the monster jungle meant more prey.

But the clouds are really hard to block—and even when they do, the clouds are always silent.

As for the other children of the Yun family, maybe it was their survival instinct, and they knew that if they leaked the secret of the meal, they might really starve to death. Therefore, even Yun Duo's youngest brothers, Xiao Gen and Yun Seventeen, who were only three years old at the time, consciously closed their mouths and pretended to be naïve when they asked three questions.

As for the two adults in the family...... Yun Duo is not very polite to his Baozi parents, as an adult with physical ability, living his life like this, letting his children fall into long-term hunger, this is not a sentence of weakness and incompetence to hide the past.

The work of the Yun family is very heavy, the two families of Yun Boss and Yun Lao Er are now in a semi-independent state, they don't care about the rights and wrongs of the Yun family's compound at all, there are many men in this family, and Yun Taichong, who is old and frail, does not dare to be too tormented. And the children born to Yun Taichong's third wife are more grouped, and now the fourth stepwife, Yun Si's grandmother, only pays attention to the one son and one daughter she gave birth to: Yun Yue, the seventh son of the second generation of the Yun family, and Yun Jiaojiao, the youngest daughter.

In this way, most of the work in the Yun family's compound is undertaken by Yun Laosan's family, among them, Yun Duo's three sisters almost undertake most of the work of washing the floor and laundry, and they also go to the forest every day to go to the river to hunt pigweed, collect herbs, and so on...... Of course, they don't get too far from the village.

The culture of this planet is similar to the original memory of Yunduo, and even the text is very close, and although Jieyang Town is called a town, there is only a small amount of farmland outside the town, and food is basically imported from the outside world.

Due to the activities of the common people in the town, there are very few wild beast activities within ten kilometers of the surrounding area of Jieyang Town...... Of course, once there is a wild animal activity, it must be a large carnivore.

In the safety belt around the town for ten kilometers, there are two kinds of special medicinal herbs, one is something similar to the parasitic tree, which is said to be a kind of insect parasitic in a special shrub, forming something between animals and plants, similar to Cordyceps, which is called "Yang Shen Cao".

In addition, in the surrounding ten miles of forest, there is also a kind of blue berry growing. These two specialties are the secret of the prosperity of Jieyang Town, and the local residents mainly rely on the collection of two characteristic plants for their livelihood, the former is said to be an important medicinal material, and the latter, is a delicious sweet, which is said to taste all kinds of wonderful, and can be ranked in the top ten of the world's cuisine.

The fruits of these two plants are not difficult to collect, they both grow very quickly, in the spring, autumn and summer, at the full moon of each month, these two fruits ripen once in a large scale, and from the sixteenth of each month, the town enters a collection period that lasts for a whole month.

When the moon is full next month, the two kinds of fruits can be covered with branches again, and their only disadvantage is that the fruits are not large, often hidden under the branches and leaves, and require a large number of people to search and collect them all over the mountains.

There are more than 80 households in Jieyang Town, with a population of about 1,000. Around Jieyang Town, the ten-kilometer safety belt covers an area of more than 100 square kilometers, which is enough for more than 1,000 people to collect. And this kind of gathering labor is relatively low, and can be done by both men and women.

Therefore, whenever the sun rises, the town of Jieyang will rush to the surrounding forests with a large number of men, among whom men are responsible for guarding against wild beasts with weapons, and women are the main labor force of gathering. Among them, each household has a fixed collection site, which is divided by household, regardless of population.

Since it is agricultural production, it naturally involves fertilization and weeding, so the male is also responsible for some heavy body labor. During this period, Yun Lao's family often occupied a piece of forest to do their own work, while the rest of the Yun family was responsible for the processing process after collection at home because of the danger in the forest......

It's no wonder that Yun Laosan's family has been eating secretly for many years, and the Yun family compound knows nothing.

In each collection, those families in the town with many males will often be enclosed in a very large and rich forest area, while other people's forests are abundant, and they will even come over to occupy them, so often the more males are rich, but the situation of the Yun family is different.

In the Yun family's out-of-home collection, a mother-born Yun boss Yun Lao Er is strong and strong, not to mention, Yun Taichong's third wife, the child she gave birth to is only responsible for drying and other post-production at home - this is also a technical job, Yun Taichong only taught Yun Lao 4, Yun Lao 5, Yun Lao 6, as for Yun Lao Qi Yun Yue, he was too young to learn.

Therefore, no matter how strong Yun Lao Yun and Yun Lao Er are, they can only obey Yun Taichong's arrangement, because without post-production, the collected things cannot be stored, and they cannot be sold for any price.

For the poor at the bottom, no matter how high the price of the "Yangshen Grass" blue berries is sold outside, there is not much profit left in their hands.

Jieyang Town is a small town in the forest, in order to prevent monsters from attacking...... Of course, in order to allow the town to send out an alarm in time when the beast tide occurs, so that the rear has time to prepare and retreat, because, in a town like this, there are usually three or four monks to protect it. The townspeople do not pay taxes to the government, but they have to bear the living expenses of several guardian immortals in the town - a town without the protection of the immortals will basically not survive.

The three immortal masters of Zhao Luo and Li in Jieyang Town collect a certain amount of collection from each household every month, which is actually not high, and it is said that the exchange fee is mainly used to maintain their cultivation.

At a cursory glance, it seems that the taxes borne by the residents of the town are not high, and the pressure of life should be light. But it can't stand the exploitation of another provision - the government stipulates that what the residents of the town collect can only be handed over to the local immortal master, who will resell and resell. Especially those genius earth treasures that involve cultivation, as well as the materials on the demon beasts.

For this reason, the government has imposed a strict household registration management system, if someone wants to leave the town and try to enter the town near the forest to make a living, if there is no pass issued by the local immortal master, the yacha catchers will not explain and kill them directly - and this is also the reason why Yunduo cannot leave the town.

The storage of these towns was originally intended to warn when the beast tide came, so that the rear had a generous time to evacuate, what if the townspeople found out that something was wrong and didn't even issue an alarm and ran away?

As a result, the official government passed the town to protect the immortal master and controlled the flow of the town's residents. Immortal masters, on the other hand, practice and meditate all day long, and do not have so much time to manage the specific world, so they use their own immortal servants to control the residents of each family and the head of each household.

In this way, although Yun Boss and Yun Lao Er are arrogant, even if they hand over the money they collect to the immortal master, the immortal master has to hand it over directly to the head of the family, Yun Taichong, and at the same time, only Yun Taichong has the right to buy and sell food on behalf of the entire family.

Jieyang Town is near the river, and there are more than 300 acres of farmland by the river, but the harvested grain is far from enough for the daily consumption of the town's residents, and the town's grain depends on input.

Therefore, even though Yun Taichong is old and decrepit, and often stays in the compound and does not work, he can still firmly hold the financial power of the family. As for the amount of collection tasks of each family...... He said that whoever allocates how much quota must pay the corresponding catties, otherwise there will be no food.

Now in the Yun family, the second generation has seven sons and four daughters, of which women are not counted. And the only people who went out to work in the family were Yun Laoda, Yun Lao's second and third Yun's children, and the others basically didn't go out of the town.

Yun Boss and Yun Boss are more grouped, there are many adult men in the family, even if the task is heavy, but no matter what, the task can be completed. Of course, due to various exploitation policies, they can only have food and clothing, so they generally don't have a good heart, and occasionally help Yun Laosan, but what they often do is to fan the flames and gloat.

Because of this, Yun Laosan's family often can't complete the collection, and hunger has become a common meal for this family. In order to be able to exchange food and clothing, they had to stay in the mountains for a longer time, searching and gathering for a longer time.

Every time they go out to collect, each male has to defend a large area, they not only have to deal with the harassment of demon beasts from time to time, but at the same time, they also have to observe the situation of nearby sentry posts at any time, and they also have to do some heavy work, so the task of the sentry is not easy. Their lives are often in danger, and every year a large number of men are injured by the beasts.

Every time Yun Duo secretly brought food to the family, it was with the close cooperation of several sisters, who tried to divert their father's attention elsewhere, and then Yun Duo sneaked through the cordon, and then the sisters brought Yun Duo some necessities of life and exchanged changes in the town, while Yun Duo brought some food and forest specialties he collected.

As for helping the sisters complete the gathering task...... The clouds are not so idle.

Because this task can never be completed, only three of the seven sons work, as long as Yun Lao San shows that he still has the amount of power to do his task, then the task standard will be raised immediately, and there will never be an end.

Because, who doesn't want to live more comfortably?

Yunduo ended up making frequent trips into the town because of the forest specialties he had gathered, and of course, the main thing was that he needed to learn.

Because of the town's unique monopoly control regulations, the things that the sisters brought back could not reach Yun Laosan for money after they were sold, so Yun Duo had to come forward in person to trade with the immortal masters......

After careful calculation, Yun Duo had lived in this jungle for five years, and in the last three years of the five years, he had spent a little less time in the forest. In any case, it was pure luck that he was able to go so far into the realm at first, and the reason why he was able to go so far into the realm for five years in a row was not only because of luck...... But that's another story.

I saw the clouds climb up the tree house with great difficulty, and carefully put away the rope ladder. When the rope ladder is in place, except for the large snakes, there are no wild beasts that can threaten the treehouse, and as for the snakes, even if the snakes come, the clouds are not afraid, and he still has backup means.

Walking up to a bay window, the clouds observed the beehive outside the bay window. At this time, the bees basically returned to the nest, the bees who had worked all day seemed lazy and itchy, in addition to the hive mouth there were a few vigilant bees flying, most of the bees had already entered the state of sleep, which made the buzzing of the whole hive much smaller.

This treehouse was built by Yunduo over a period of five years.
