Chapter 406: Living in Seclusion Will Lead to Starvation (Subscription Required)

After counting, Beiyan Mountain Man might be a big boss.

But in front of Jiang Que, no matter what he is, as long as the other party does not provoke him, then everything will be fine.

If Beiyan Mountain Man hinders him, he may have to stretch his muscles.

Of course, I am afraid that Beiyan Mountain Man is really thinking about how to avoid this disaster. It is indeed a disaster for him.

"Sitting alone in the secluded bamboo forest..."

Jiang Que has always felt that this sentence is very meaningful. Recently, he often mentions it and smiles: "Beiyan Mountain Man, Beiyan Mountain Man, if you show up, your true face may be revealed."

So he concluded that the other party did not dare to show up.

That can only mean one thing-there is a ghost in his heart, so he dare not show up.

That night, Yi Xiaochuan also stayed there.

But every time he tossed and turned late at night, he couldn't sleep. He didn't know that Beiyan Mountain Man would have a way home. At the beginning, he was very excited, but now he was really worried.

Jiang Que's words woke up the dreamer.

He naturally came to his senses.

He had a vague understanding in his mind, and thought to himself: "Did I take it for granted before? No one owes anyone anything in the world, so Beiyan Mountain People may not help me go home."

After figuring this out, he felt a toothache at the corner of his mouth.

Glancing at Jiang Que who was meditating and practicing in a simple bamboo house not far away, he couldn't help but sigh, "If I had practiced with the Taoist earlier, I would probably have achieved something now."

It's a pity.

If you miss the best opportunity, you will miss it forever.

Fate is helpless.

...

The next morning.

Jiang Que woke up from his meditation, looked at Yi Xiaochuan who had not slept all night and smiled: "Brother Yi, are you so excited that you can't sleep because you are going to meet Beiyan Shanren?"

Hearing this, Yi Xiaochuan said awkwardly: "It's not excitement, but a little worried. After all, no one knows what will happen."

"Have you learned to think about these things?" Jiang Que was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but be curious, thinking: "Yi Xiaochuan was not like this before."

Has he changed his temper recently?

Although it is very likely, this sudden change makes him a little uncomfortable.

Yi Xiaochuan is actually helpless.

The moment to decide his fate is coming, how can he not be nervous.

So he will be very embarrassed and uneasy.

Jiang Que can naturally understand that kind of mood, and walked over to pat him on the shoulder and said: "Brother Yi, don't think too much, what you deserve will eventually let you get, and what you don't deserve will never get, this is fate."

I don't know if this persuasion has any effect.

But it's better than no persuasion.

"Master, can you come with me to take a look?" Yi Xiaochuan was unsure, so he wanted to invite Jiang Que to go with him.

What if the Beiyan Mountain Man bullies people?

He didn't know martial arts, and he didn't have the mysterious means of Jiang Que, so he was naturally unsure and a little scared.

What if something happened to Yu Shu?

That's why he invited him.

Jiang Que nodded as expected after hearing this, "Okay, the Beiyan Mountain Man is extremely mysterious, and I just want to see what kind of existence he is."

He immediately led a team of people and headed towards the valley not far away.

Those thatched houses were the residence of the Beiyan Mountain Man.

After eating breakfast made by the two sisters of the Lu family early in the morning, he and Yi Xiaochuan left slowly, feeling a little excited and nervous.

After all, this person is likely to be the biggest BOSS hidden behind the scenes, an existence that people really want to know, and maybe they can get some benefits, such as the treasure box that made Yi Xiaochuan Gao ask them to travel through inexplicably.

"This Beiyan Mountain man is so free and easy, living here in seclusion and living a fairy-like life." Yi Xiaochuan couldn't help but sigh along the way.

However, Jiang Que didn't think so. He said, "Living here may not necessarily mean a good life. Maybe it's out of necessity.

Besides, you only see that this place is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the mundane world, and basically no one will disturb it.

But the fog here is very heavy, and the humidity will invade the body. In addition, if you are far away from the world, you need to go down the mountain to buy oil, salt, rice and other things. Even if you eat vegetables, you need to grow them yourself. If you don't have seeds, you have to buy them, otherwise you can only make them yourself.

Do you really think seclusion is so good?"

"Ah?"

Yi Xiaochuan was stunned when he heard it, and said, "Master, aren't all hermits..."

He wanted to say that he was free and easy and tired of the world.

But when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say it. After all, what Jiang Que said was true. What about hermits? As long as you are still a human, you have to eat.

Many people in later generations are busy running around for three meals a day, not to mention the ancient times when there was no hybrid rice.

Even for a little food, you have to be careful and thrifty. In addition, Tangwu Mountain is originally a mountain range. Even if you farm by yourself, you have to work hard for half a year to get some harvest, but this harvest is not big.

So it is not appropriate to be a hermit in ancient times.

If you are not careful, something may go wrong.

Once it rains heavily or something, the thatched house may leak, and even the rice cannot be cooked, or the fire cannot be lit directly, which are all troublesome.

After listening to Jiang Que's explanation, Yi Xiaochuan felt bad.

This is definitely not the hermit master he imagined. It seems that there is no relationship at all. If according to Jiang Que's words, the so-called seclusion in a certain mountain and living a free and easy life often makes him envious after hearing it.

But now after listening to Jiang Que's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. This had overturned his imagination, but Jiang Que's words made some sense.

No matter how secluded you are, you can't do without grains and cereals, three meals a day, or at least two meals a day.

After all, you are also a mortal.

"Master, your theory is really a bit..."

Yi Xiaochuan said with a depressed look: "It's too shocking to the secular world."

If others knew, I don't know what they would think.

"But you have to admit that what I said is true." Jiang Que smiled and said: "In fact, people are social animals. No one wants to live alone in seclusion on a certain mountain, and no one will care about them until they die.

Not to mention firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and tea, these will give people a headache. Even in the future, few people are willing to live in seclusion. If this goes on for a long time, they will get sick."

As for whether it is loneliness or autism, Jiang Que did not say in detail.

"Okay." After hearing Jiang Que's words, Yi Xiaochuan didn't want to continue to live in seclusion. That kind of life was not as good as living in a busy city.

At least if you have money, you can live a good life.

These desolate mountains and wilderness may not be able to eat enough and wear warm clothes. After all, there is not much food produced, and the final result is still a hardship.

"You will starve to death if you live in seclusion." Jiang Que said: "If there is no rice to cook, it will be difficult to go down the mountain to buy it. Over time, you will not live long."

Yi Xiaochuan: "..."

He really couldn't agree with Jiang Que's remarks.

But he couldn't refute it.

Talking all the way, they soon came to the place where the thatched houses where the Beiyanshan people lived. If it wasn't sunny, the ground of this yard would probably be muddy.

Only now on a sunny day, it seems particularly quiet and gentle, and the thatched house is not leaking.

Surrounded by a bamboo fence, there is a shaky small door, which is not locked and can be pushed open easily.

Jiang Que carefully sensed that there was only one person in the house.

"Could it be that the old fellow from Beiyan Mountain is not here?" Jiang Qi frowned and thought, "Is it intentional? Or has this been planned in advance?"
