Chapter 175 Picking up a Big Bargain

Er Gouzi invited Xia Qingshan into the house and served him tea. After a conversation, the two learned that Ding Lao Mo had disappeared.

After Ding Lao Mo came out of retreat, he first killed people around Anchang County.

There were few people in the place after the last turmoil, and now it is even worse.

Xia Qingshan has hardly seen any living people on his way here.

The last time Ding Lao Mo appeared was in Sanyang County. After refining the entire city's population, the old demon disappeared.

There was only one survivor in the entire Sanyang County, Xia Junshou. He was attacked by the blood evil and now he was stupid and stupid. He was sent back to the clan for recuperation.

Er Gouzi couldn't help but sigh that Xia Junshou was really lucky. Everyone in the city died, but he didn't die.

"Alas! Qingzhou is really troubled by internal and external troubles now."

"The war between the border and the Wan Yao Kingdom is not going well, and there are demons making trouble inside."

Xia Qingshan said this and sighed deeply, with a look of worrying about the country and the people.

Er Gouzi didn't answer. None of this was caused by him. He was just a farmer.

Such world affairs should be left to the meat-eaters to worry about.

Xia Qingshan saw that Er Gouzi didn't answer, and didn't jump out to take responsibility.

A little disappointed, he didn't have the blood of a young man, so he could only continue.

"Captain Zhang, you are an official appointed by the court, the agricultural commander appointed by the Holy Emperor Longxing. At this critical moment, when we need people, we need pillars like you to stand up."

"When the sea is turbulent, the true nature of a hero is revealed. Captain Zhang has many strong generals under his command. Now is a good time to make achievements."

After Xia Qingshan finished speaking, he looked at Er Gouzi steadily, waiting for him to respond.

Er Gouzi looked embarrassed. He suspected that this old guy wanted to trick him into being a cannon fodder.

He had been a cannon fodder once before, and it didn't feel good. He didn't want to be a second time.

"Alas! I am powerless now. The Holy Emperor Longxing has conferred me with the title of garrison commander. Without the imperial edict, I dare not raise troops on my own."

He was conferred by the emperor, and the Xia family could not command him. He had the ability to make the emperor order him to send troops.

Even, the emperor might have deliberately placed him, a farming commander, in Qingzhou to somewhat restrict the Xia family.

If you get too close to the Xia family, it would be bad.

"That being said, as long as you have the heart to contribute to the country, you can still think of many ways."

Xia Qingshan continued, Anchang County is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. If you really want to do something, it is not easy.

"If you are worried, I will take care of the things in the capital."

"Alas! It's a pity that I can't spare time now. You see, the crops are ripe all over the mountains and fields. If you don't harvest them, they will rot in the fields."

"As a farmer, I feel sad to see these grains not harvested."

Er Gouzi was telling the truth this time. Now is the time of autumn harvest, and the crops in the fields are waiting to be harvested.

Moreover, this time, Ding Lao Mo refined the population of several surrounding counties.

All the people died, but there were still crops on the ground that no one harvested. He couldn't just give up.

As a farmer, he could never watch these crops rot in the fields.

Seeing that persuasion was fruitless, Xia Qingshan could only say goodbye and leave.

"Captain Zhang, take care of yourself. Ding Lao Mo should still be hiding nearby. The mountains are high and the roads are long. I may not be able to rescue him in time."

Before leaving, he threw a sentence to scare Er Gouzi.

However, Er Gouzi is not so scared now, and he feels much more relaxed.

Before, he had been trembling with fear, day and night on guard against Ding Lao Mo coming to his door.

Now he knows that Ding Lao Mo has destroyed several counties around him, including the county town, but he did not come to Shekou Mountain.

Xia Qingshan was also very confused about this matter, and asked Er Gouzi, but he said nothing.

In fact, he had a guess in his heart that someone must have severely injured Ding Lao Mo after he lost consciousness after being chased by the blood dragon last time.

So after Ding Lao Mo came out of retreat, he was still afraid and did not come to trouble him.

He suspected that the person who severely injured Ding Lao Mo might be Xiao Hei, and other masters might not be so kind.

He raised the big goose by himself, and he knew how capable it was.

Only the little black dog still has many mysteries.

That mouth like a bottomless pit can never be full.

He slept in the underground secret room for tens of thousands of years, and his body was covered with moss, but he did not die.

With a strange body structure, no matter how violently it is pulled, it can rebound into the shape of a little puppy.

And the two blushes on the little black dog's face seemed to have become even redder...

It's a pity that this guy can't speak human language, and Er Gouzi can't speak dog language, so the two of them can't communicate deeply.

With this guess in mind, Er Gouzi will definitely hold Xiao Hei every day when he goes out, which makes him feel too safe.

Even if Xiao Hei always competes with him for food, he doesn't mind it so much.

These days, he rode a big white goose and turned a big circle in the sky, patrolling the entire Sanyang County.

Now the entire Sanyang County, with more than a dozen counties under its jurisdiction, is deserted.

Only the crops that are ripe and waiting to be harvested are left all over the mountains and plains, and there are a large number of empty villages.

As for Ding Lao Mo, he has not been seen for a long time. Maybe he ate too much and hid somewhere to consolidate his cultivation.

Immediately, he rode a goose back to Shekou Mountain and ordered everyone to put down their miscellaneous work and go out to collect food.

More than 2,000 people under his command have now cultivated to the level of Qi Refining, and their efficiency in doing farm work is naturally incomparable to ordinary people.

With a sweep of the sword, an acre of land was harvested.

A wind spell was cast, and all the grains fell.

The harvested grain was loaded into the uninhabited villages nearby, and Er Gouzi went from village to village to collect it.

Some of the grain was put into storage bags, or carried back to Shekou Mountain by the big snake.

He put more grain into the gourd because he didn't have time to transport it.

In addition to these ordinary grains, there are many spiritual fields in the area of ​​Sanyang County, and spiritual medicines are planted in the spiritual fields.

Xia Qingshan had passed by here before, and all the spiritual medicines he liked had been picked by him.

But the other party was a Jindan cultivator, and he was in a hurry. The spiritual medicines he didn't like didn't mean that Er Gouzi didn't like them.

And Er Gouzi was never picky, as long as they were useful, he would take them.

He rode a big goose to check the spiritual fields one by one, and took away all the useful ones.

Today, when he passed by a more remote spiritual field, he found that the area of ​​this place was not wide, but the spiritual energy was particularly rich.

Moreover, there are many old spiritual medicines in the spiritual field, some of which have grown to one or two hundred years old.

Among them, there are several Xuanyuan grasses that have grown to 200 years old and can be used to refine Xuanyuan pills.

Without any hesitation, he dug out all these spiritual medicines and temporarily moved them into the gourd.

In addition to these spiritual medicines, he actually found a withered wood spiritual grass in the middle of a wasteland.

It may be that the spiritual power of this land is insufficient, or the environment is not suitable for growth.

The branches and leaves of this wood spiritual grass have withered, and it looks like it is about to die completely.

Er Gouzi was overjoyed and got another medicinal material for the foundation-building pill.

He carefully dug out this wood spiritual grass and temporarily put it in the gourd to raise it, and plant it later when he has time.

With the discovery of this wood spiritual grass, Er Gouzi became more motivated and asked Daye to take him to search carefully.

He found many more spiritual fields and dug a lot of spiritual medicines, but unfortunately he never encountered the five spiritual grass again.

Now he already has two of the five spiritual medicines needed for the foundation-building pill.

In this way, everyone got up early and went to bed late, working without sleep for more than two months.

Finally, all the unwanted grains around the entire Sanyang County were harvested.

Then Er Gouzi spent more than a month to transport all the grains back to Shekou Mountain.

"Boss, we have collected more than one million stones of grain this time."

Huang Laocai excitedly reported to Er Gouzi. He had never seen so much grain in his life.

"Organize people to build a few more warehouses to store the grains and keep them from getting wet and moldy."

"Hey, boss, don't worry, I've asked someone to build them."

When Huang Laocai spoke, he was so excited that his fingers were shaking slightly.

In fact, what he didn't know was that Er Gouzi had at least 8 million stones of grain hidden in his gourd.

The grain harvested this time was really too much, not only the grain in the fields, but also those uninhabited villages.

There was still a lot of grain in those empty houses.

There are also a dozen county towns, and the warehouses in the county towns also store a large amount of food supplies.

Old Demon Ding only eats people, and he didn't touch a single grain of food.

There was too much food, and the volume was too large. His storage bag was too small, and the big snake couldn't carry too much.

He could only put all the food that he couldn't carry away in time into the gourd.

In addition to ordinary food, there were many other items harvested this time.

There are dozens of spiritual fields scattered throughout Sanyang County.

He searched all these spiritual fields, and the spiritual medicines he harvested were enough for him to refine pills for several years.

Moreover, he also collected more than a dozen materials for Xuanyuan Pills from the spiritual medicines he harvested.

When Xuanyuan Pills are refined, his cultivation can advance by leaps and bounds.

In addition to spiritual medicines, there are also spiritual grains, and dozens of stones were harvested this time.

These spiritual grains were collected in the gourd by him, and the spiritual power will become stronger after another upgrade.

Even if he has the foundation-building cultivation now, eating this kind of spiritual rice is still helpful.

In addition, there is a black iron spirit mine in Sanyang County. The output is not very high, and it can produce several hundred kilograms of black iron every year.

All the miners in the black iron mine cave died, and Er Gouzi picked up dozens of kilograms of black iron ore around the mine cave.

In addition, some spirit mines were picked up in the county and county towns. These spirit mine materials, together, also weighed several hundred kilograms.

Put all these materials into the gourd and use them to refine some magic tools.

The inheritance of the old man Qianji that he learned requires a lot of materials to refine various objects.

This time, he finally gathered some materials, and he planned to refine a few to try his hand.

This time, he also borrowed Ding Lao Mo and made a lot of money from the national disaster inexplicably.

And this money must be made. If he doesn't want it, most of these wealth will rot in the same place.

He has never had the habit of wasting.

Moreover, he has only searched roughly at present, and there are still many places that he hasn't had time to search.

For a long time in the future, he will go to these places to search for treasures.

Er Gouzi was holding Xiao Hei in his arms, walking in a small alley in the county town.

The alley was once crowded with people, but now he was the only one there, and his footsteps sounded particularly crisp.

Seeing the familiar pharmacy on the side of the road, he walked in.

It was the first time he entered the black market without a secret code.

He walked along a tunnel to the entrance of the black market, and the bronze door was open.

"Go, Xiao Hei!"

He threw Xiao Hei in first, and when he found no danger, he went in and continued to pick up Xiao Hei.

The county town was the last place where Ding Lao Mo disappeared. He had been to all the black markets in the county towns, and he was always a little afraid of the black market in the county town.

The black market was also quiet and empty.

However, this place should have been searched by Xia Qingshan a long time ago. Now he could only find some items that Xia Qingshan didn't like or accidentally missed.

After all, this place is so big, Xia Qingshan just walked around in a hurry, and he could still miss a lot of good things.
