Chapter 120 The Thief Who Can't Be Found
When Er Gouzi came back, he saw Yushan with a swollen nose and face, being beaten by a group of geese.
"Master, save me."
Yushan saw his master coming back and hurriedly asked him for help.
But he was desperate.
Er Gouzi took a look at Yushan's swollen face and embarrassed appearance, and then took a look at the spiritual medicine on the mountain, and found that three more were missing.
In his mind, he had automatically imagined that Yushan stole the spiritual medicine and wanted to escape, and then was caught by the geese and beaten again.
Humph!
He deserved his punishment for not changing his ways after repeated teachings!
Er Gouzi squeezed in and kicked Yushan twice.
He even considered whether he should just kill Yushan if he only thought about escaping every day?
He looked at the many fields on the mountain that needed to be planted, thought about it, and still endured it.
He couldn't just stop planting the fields because he was angry.
It's better to strengthen education, chat and communicate more often, help him realize his mistakes, reform himself, and become a birdman again.
After the goose beat Yushan, Ergouzi began to teach him earnestly.
"Master, it was not me who stole the elixir. I am your most loyal servant and have never thought of running away."
"If I can't see you for a day, I can't eat or sleep. I have been inseparable from you for a long time."
"Even if you want to beat me, scold me, kill me, or abuse me, I won't run away."
Yushan still wanted to argue for himself.
Alas! This birdman can't be taught!
"Look, the evidence is conclusive. What's the point of being stubborn?"
"Why not bravely admit your mistakes? I won't embarrass you. We will still be a family in the future."
Ergouzi gently persuaded Yushan, who was bruised and swollen.
"Master, it's different this time. It's really not me."
Yushan opened his big black eyes and looked aggrieved.
I found that since Yushan lived in Shekou Mountain, his big eyes have become darker and brighter.
Because his eyes are often full of tears and are well moisturized.
"Look, you've been caught by the goose, but you still refuse to admit it. There's no one else on this mountain except you."
"Master, it's like this. I was weeding in the field at the time, and then I saw a spiritual medicine suddenly fly into the air..."
Yushan still told what he saw with his own eyes, but he didn't have much confidence at the end.
An ordinary spiritual medicine flew away by itself in broad daylight, which sounded ridiculous.
"You said that the spiritual medicine flew away by itself, do you believe it?"
Er Gouzi stared at Yushan gently, which made Yushan feel scared.
Yushan shook his head subconsciously, and then nodded hard.
"You are bullying the goose for not being able to speak. Be more serious when you make up a lie next time."
In broad daylight, he said that the spiritual medicine flew away by itself.
If Sima Yi or Ji Cang said it, Er Gouzi would think that there is such a strange thing in the world.
If someone with a criminal record like Yushan said it, few people would believe it.
The weight of the same sentence depends on who said it.
After being beaten, Yushan didn't have time to apply medicine on his body, and he went to work in the fields with a hoe.
Because today's work was not finished yet, the grass in the field would grow more and more if it was not removed in time.
Er Gouzi once taught him that one day's work should be done today, and tomorrow will be tomorrow, and there are so many tomorrows!
Even if you work overtime and don't sleep at night, you can't leave today's work until tomorrow.
Today, because of the beating, Yushan wasted a lot of time, and he was busy until it was dark before he finished today's work.
However, from then on, he also grew up and carefully observed everything on the top of the mountain every day.
He vowed to find the thief and not let today's beating be in vain.
Since the three spiritual medicines were lost that day, it has been calm for a long time, and there has been no spiritual medicine flying away.
Er Gouzi has a lot of things to do every day, and he won't always stare at Yushan.
He has to refine pills, practice exercises, practice swordsmanship, practice magic, and occasionally go to the fields to inspect.
Owning thousands of hectares of fertile land, the feeling of sudden wealth often made him so excited that he could not fall asleep at night.
Now that the spring plowing has been completed, every time he rides a goose over the green fields, he will estimate in his mind how much grain he can harvest this year.
One mu of good land can harvest four shi of grain in a good year, and the worse dry land can harvest one or two shi on average.
More than 100,000 mu can yield hundreds of thousands of shi.
Excluding the grain kept by the tenants and the grain eaten by the subordinates, at least more than 100,000 shi of grain can be saved.
In a few years, he will become a wealthy family.
After the spring plowing is completed, the fields are not so busy, and some free time can be taken out.
Er Gouzi organized them to plant trees on those barren hills, such as persimmon trees, jujube trees, oak trees, etc.
In addition to cutting firewood for burning, it can also produce grain, which will be life-saving grain in the future when there is a famine.
In addition, he also organized a group of idle people to repair the reservoir.
During the last disaster, there were starving people everywhere, and only the people of Dingjiazhuang lived the best.
Because they had a reservoir.
Ergouzi also wanted to follow suit, and he also wanted to build a large reservoir.
He tried to make the 100,000 mu of fertile land in his hands have a good harvest every year.
However, he did not let his subordinates do these jobs. Ergouzi paid money and grain and hired tenants to do it.
In addition to tenants, there are also poor people in various states who heard that Anchang County is good and moved here.
Those new arrivals had no livelihood for a short period of time, so they just happened to help him build the reservoir.
As for the more than 2,000 people he bought, Ergouzi arranged for them to practice in their spare time.
Originally, the imperial court strictly prohibited the private transmission of immortality cultivation techniques. Ergouzi did not dare to pass them on to his subordinates casually if he had the techniques before.
But the techniques practiced by his subordinates were all taught by Ji Cang himself, and he even created a written document at that time to prove that they had nothing to do with Er Gouzi.
If anyone is dissatisfied and wants to be held accountable, they can go to Ji Cang themselves.
We must make good use of the cultivation opportunities given by God.
After this turmoil, he realized how important it was to have a strong team at his disposal.
Only in this way can we defend our own territory and the recovered food and wealth.
By himself, even if he was covered in iron, he still couldn't drive a few nails.
However, cultivators are very good at eating. There are many people who eat a bushel of rice a day.
In order to speed up the progress of cultivation, the most important thing is to save food.
Ergouzi often used some of the grain stored in the gourd to mix it into his men's rations.
After cultivators eat food containing spiritual energy, they can avoid eating several bowls of rice every day.
There are more than 2,000 people under his command. Each person saves a few bowls of rice, which means thousands of bowls a day and hundreds of shi of food a month.
In addition, he also asked Yushan to make some Peiyuan Guben pills and occasionally distribute them to his subordinates.
With the dual blessing of spiritual food and Peiyuan Gubenwan, many people have recently sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and become monks at the first level of Qi training.
On this day, the sun was scorching, and Er Gouzi took a nap in the stone house.
Yushan pushed a stone mill outside, ground some medicinal materials into powder, and then kneaded them into Peiyuan Guben pills.
When he was rubbing the pills with his hands, he would occasionally think of something that moved him, which would inevitably lead to tears and runny nose.
Yushan wiped the tears of excitement from his face while rubbing the pills in his hand.
He was thinking that the effect of this kind of pill containing moving tears should be better.
At the same time, his big black eyes were still moving, observing the surroundings of the spiritual field on the top of the mountain.
He must find out the thief who stole the elixir, and then let the master beat him up.
This kind of petty thief is so disgusting.
His master had a noble character and never did such sneaky things.
At this moment, a Peiyuan Guben Pill in front of him suddenly floated up.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Yu Shan snatched the pill back into his hand.
After grabbing the pill back in his hand, Yu Shan looked around and saw that it was no different from other pills.
Gently put the pill back on the stone slab, and put your hand on top of the pill to prevent it from flying away suddenly.
After waiting for a long time, the pill never responded.
Just when he was about to give up, another pill on the slate floated gently into the air.
Yushan quickly slapped him again and snatched the pill back.
But after he snatched this pill back, he held it in his hand and observed that it was still no different from other pills.
This is strange.
But I finally found some clues.
"Owner!"
"Owner!"
Yu Shan shouted loudly, but unfortunately Er Gouzi was fast asleep in the stone house and did not come out after a long time.
He hurriedly walked towards the stone house where Er Gouzi was sleeping, but as soon as he reached the door, he was slapped to the ground by a big goose's wing.
Ever since Er Gouzi raised the goose, he would let the goose stand guard outside for him every time he went to sleep to practice.
Without his order, the goose will not let anyone in, even if it kills the goose, it will not retreat.
"Owner!"
"Master, come out quickly, I've caught the thief who stole the elixir."
Yu Shan shouted loudly, and at the same time he had to keep an eye on the six directions to prevent the thief from stealing the elixir and escaping, and in the end he would be beaten again.
After a while, Ergouzi finally walked out of the stone house.
"What are you yelling for?"
Ergouzi stretched his waist, lowered his head and asked.
"The thief who stole the elixir, did I see it again just now?"
Yushan quickly reported to Ergouzi, his big eyes darting around, carefully observing the situation on the top of the mountain.
"Where is he and what does he look like?"
Ergouzi also opened his eyes wide and looked around, spreading his consciousness and carefully observing the surrounding situation.
After a long time, he found nothing.
Then he stared at Yushan with evil eyes.
"Where is the thief you mentioned, the person?"
"It really happened just now. I was rubbing pills there, and then I saw a pill floating in the air..."
Yushan explained in detail what he had just seen.
Seeing how confident Yushan looked, Ergouzi was also dubious this time.
He opened his consciousness again and searched around the top of the mountain, but still couldn't find any clues.
Ergouzi was still a little suspicious, maybe Yushan was making trouble to deceive him, but this time he did not scold Yushan.
"Please pay attention and let me know if you find anything next time."
"Okay! Okay!"
Yushan nodded repeatedly and agreed quickly. This time his master didn't hit him, so he was very happy.
I feel like the owner is actually quite nice.
In this way, in the next period of time, Yushan made several discoveries.
But when he called out Ergouzi, he couldn't find anything.
After experiencing this several times, Ergouzi could only guess.
Either Yushan lied to him, or the thief was not strong enough and hid when he saw him.
In the following period of time, Er Gouzi also became more careful, even sleeping with one eye open, paying close attention to the changes outside.
