Chapter 5 The Cao Family's Seven Rooms

Cao Yanchao was nibbling on dry beef jerky, and listened to the old village chief with a sad face.

It turned out that through the conversation with the old village chief, I knew that the time when he woke up was already three days later, and now it was too unfortunate.

That is, it is not the time for breakfast, nor is it the time for dinner.

As for having lunch?

I'm sorry, but they don't have the habit of eating lunch in a small place like Black Mountain, but it is said that the big people who live in big cities will have a very hearty lunch every day.

As for living in a small village like Montenegro, let alone lunch, it is not easy to maintain two meals a day.

But fortunately, it is still summer, and the food reserves in Montenegro Village are quite sufficient.

So under Cao Yanchao's bitter pleading, the old village chief finally relented and took out a large piece of dry beef jerky for him.

But as a price in exchange, Cao Yanchao's dinner today is gone.

In the end, he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, so Cao Yanchao had no choice but to nod first and agree to the unequal treaty of the old village chief.

But when he nibbled on this beef jerky, Cao Yanchao regretted it, because this thing was too unpalatable, dry, it was just a piece of dried salted pork!

It has no taste at all except for the great salt, and it is old and hard, like a stone, so it can be said that it has no merits.

However, Cao Yanchao was already hungry and crazy, and in order not to let himself be forced to death by his stomach, he only swallowed a large piece of beef jerky in three times and divided by two.

After eating, Cao Yanchao realized that this kind of huge salty beef jerky was not useless, at least after eating, his little belly finally quieted down and stopped screaming desperately.

And looking at the old village chief who was looking at him with a kind face, Cao Yanchao couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Grandpa, what about the other children?"

In fact, the old village chief is not stingy with a piece of beef jerky, but as the head of a village, he uses the reserve grain in the village without authorization, so he must have a reason, and it is impossible to take the food to Cao Yan without any consideration.

Further, Cao Yanchao and the old village chief are not the kind of direct relatives, and the relationship between the two is actually not a close relative.

Although everyone is Cao's, the old village chief is the eldest son of the big house belonging to the Cao family, and Cao Yanchao's father is an unknown junior in the seventh room, compared to the old village chief, Cao Yanchao is at least three generations younger.

Therefore, the old village chief took a fancy to Cao Yanchao's excellent cultivation talent, so he had some love for him, and it was by no means the kind of unreserved favor.

Of course, this also has a little to do with Cao Yanchao being the first and only child who dares to call him grandpa.

But no matter how many good things are said, this kind of love has a limit, and it is impossible to upgrade to that kind of grandson-like favor.

As for Cao Yanchao's question, of course the old village chief has nothing to keep secret, so he said very happily.

"Since you've always been in a state of foundation-building, this is the first time I've encountered such a thing.

So in order to prevent the secrets from being leaked, I let the other children go home and rest.

But since you have woken up, I will inform you to come back tomorrow and continue your practice.

However, there is one thing you must remember that you must keep confidential about the things that took you to build the foundation for three days and three nights, even if it is to your parents.

I'm not asking you to hide anything on purpose, just to protect them, you see?"

Cao Yanchao's heart sighed slightly, and he couldn't help but think.

My real parents, I don't know how many years have passed, as for what the parents of this body look like, I haven't seen it yet, and besides, isn't it just building a foundation, what's the secret of this?

This is really a temple with a big demon, and there are many poor people!

Just a little thing has to be kept secret, and I don't know how many secrets are hidden in this small village?

Despite this, Cao Yanchao agreed very readily when he answered.

"Grandpa, you can rest assured, I understand. ”

The old village chief, naturally, couldn't have thought of a child who dared to play with him, so he just said casually.

"There's still a little time, so go home and see your parents, and you'll probably not see each other for a long time. ”

After speaking, the old village chief walked out of the wooden house on his own.

And Cao Yanchao, who was left alone, looked at the empty room alone, and he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

Go home now, isn't that going for Cao Yanchao's life?

And where does he know, where is his home?

Not to mention, Cao Yanchao only remembers his biological parents, but he has no image of his parents in this body?

However, in the end, Cao Yanchao still convinced himself that it was better to leave the wooden house first.

Because of Cao Yanchao's character, he is not allowed to escape.

And now the old village chief's wooden house, he definitely can't stay.

Cao Yanchao doesn't want to be regarded as some kind of monster by others, although he doesn't know whether people in this world like to engage in human body research, but he doesn't have the desire to explore them one by one.

So Cao Yanchao decided, no matter what, go out for a walk first.

Maybe there's something special about it?

Isn't it all like this when you play games?

Perhaps, just go out and take a walk, and an NPC will automatically rush up to deliver the mission?

As soon as I stepped out of the door of the wooden house, there was a bright sunshine shining through.

Cao Yanchao, who was bathed in the sun, suddenly stretched out comfortably, and in an instant, he was really comfortable.

At the moment when he first got up, Cao Yanchao still felt that there was some inconsistency when using his hands and feet.

But after getting out of bed, I talked to the old village chief again, and the blood in my hands and feet flowed again.

Now, after such a stretch, Cao Yanchaozheng suddenly became energetic, and he also felt that his whole body was full of strength.

So Cao Yanchao got a little carried away, he stood on the edge of the wooden house, jumped forward gently, and after the whole person glided in the air for a short distance, he fell to the ground embarrassedly.

In this way, Cao Yanchao was taken aback, he was 100% sure that he would never be able to jump so far before, and he didn't know if it was because the limits of the human body in this world were different?

But now that I have visually inspected it, the distance between Cao Yanchao and the wooden house is at least seven or eight meters.

Such a long distance, how could he, a child who has just turned ten, do it?

Will anyone believe this?

Don't go to it, no one will believe it, think this is the old village chief's mouth said about the foundation!

At this time, Cao Yanchao couldn't help but think of the pot of wild boar meat stewed for them by the old village chief.

Although when he ate it, there was only one thigh bone left in the pot, but it was full of meat.

However, he was sure that the pot of wild boar meat was definitely reprocessed, at least fished out of other pots.

Because in that pot, there was nothing but wild boar and some soup.

This is obviously abnormal, because Cao Yan smelled it clearly, there was a smell similar to Chinese herbal medicine, but in that pot, there was nothing but wild boar.

Combined with the old village chief's personality of liking secrecy, the wild boar meat eaten by the children should have been fished from another cauldron.

Only then can we ensure that there is nothing left in the pot that the children eat except wild boar.

In the other cauldron there must have been a large amount of medicinal herbs, and it had been stewed for a long time before the wild boar meat for the children to eat.

This can also explain why when children eat, it happens to be one bowl per person.

However, looking at the small wooden houses next to the old village chief's wooden house, Cao Yanchao did not have the slightest interest in exploring.

In fact, last night, Cao Yanchao had checked it, and the doors of those cabins were all tightly locked and couldn't be opened at all.

Well, it seems, it can't be said that it was last night, according to the old village chief, he has been laying the foundation for three days and three nights.

So four days have passed since the day of the sacred ceremony?

However, for Cao Yanchao, it was actually just a night in the past.

In the end, Cao Yanchao didn't take this matter to heart, he was very curious about what the outside world was like?

So he walked to the gate of the small courtyard where the village chief's hut was located.

At this time, Cao Yanchao couldn't wait to take a look at this different world.

And when Cao Yan ran out of the village chief's courtyard in a hurry, he didn't realize that the old village chief was actually standing on the roof of the wooden house, watching him leave with a complicated expression.

It's just that the old village chief's expression has both some love and some distress, and he can't help muttering to himself.

"Understand right and wrong, know advance and retreat, it seems that this time, Lao Qi and their family have picked up the treasure, it seems that the day of re-emergence is not far away!

It's just that next year's resources are estimated to have to be redistributed.

Although there is some trouble, no matter what, it is our Cao family and the entire Black Mountain Village that will profit in the end!"

It turned out that when the ancestors of the Cao family came to the foot of Montenegro, when they established Montenegro Village, although they mainly relied on the efforts of their Cao family's 300 relatives, they also had the cooperation of other subordinates with different surnames, which jointly established the current Montenegro Village.

And these subordinates are the Li family, the Xu family, the Xu family, the Liu family, the Yang family, the Ma family, and the Zhang family, which happen to be seven families.

As the so-called is, the general trend of the world, divided for a long time, will be divided for a long time, due to the uneven distribution of some interests,

So in the end, the entire Black Mountain Village was divided into seven families, namely the big house, the second room, the third room, the fourth room, the fifth room, the sixth room, and the seventh room.

Over the years, the seven rooms have their own main affairs, although when doing things, everyone is doing it together, but when it comes to resource allocation, it is according to the distribution plan formulated every year, and the distribution is carried out.

In general, the big house alone takes 20% of the total resources, the third room, the fourth room each takes 1005, and the other 2nd, 5th, 6th, and 7th rooms take the remaining 50% respectively.

Among them, the number of men, the least is seven rooms.

For many years, it has only held the lowest half of the resources, which is the most ruthless house that has been squeezed.

It's just that the number of people in the seventh room is the smallest, and there are no talents who can do it.

That's why I've been holding back all along.

However, after this year, new changes will inevitably take place in this stable distribution method.

Because Cao Yanchao showed amazing talent, even if the old village chief deliberately wanted to hide it, but the few people in charge of the other houses were not stupid, it was impossible for them not to know how powerful it was.

Especially the people of Qifang, they have always been the most ruthless group of people who have been squeezed.

In the past, they didn't have the ability to fight, but this year they have a good seedling, which is rare to see in a century, if they don't fight and change the status quo, it will be the strangest thing.
