Chapter 20 Forage Farm (2)
Three days later, Lao Shao came back, and his face was full of redness when he came back.
"Old man, where have you been?" Jin Ling asked.
"Children, don't ask if you shouldn't ask!" Old Shao's face turned red, and his face turned a little bit of awkward. Seeing his expression, Jin Ling's mind flashed, "You can't go to Manxianglou, right!"
"Stupid brat, don't talk nonsense! You're a little too old, do you know what a brothel is!" Lao Shao jumped up like a cat with only his tail stepped on.
Manxianglou is a brothel in Shuangshixian Village. The young people in the village speak rudely and often make jokes about this place.
Then, Lao Shao calmed down and said, "I know someone in Manxianglou, go and have a look. Is this amazing?"
Did you really guess? Looking at Lao Shao's pleats on his face, Jin Ling was stunned.
Lao Shao had no home. His family, including two young sons, died more than thirty years ago in the turmoil of the Northern Jin Kingdom. Since then, he has been disheartened and hid in the most remote place in the fairy village, working in this forage farm for more than thirty years.
It is normal for a man to be lonely for more than 30 years to find some of his own happiness.
Jin Ling admired him very much. Other immortals were unwilling to waste time here, but he had been rooted for so many years. Moreover, Lao Shao had some skills. Even if the person was not there, he just did some tricks around the forage farm, made some pitfalls, magic beasts, urine, etc., and some low-level monsters dare not attack them.
Thinking of this, he had a greater understanding of the old man.
There is a simple kitchen in the forage yard. It turned out that Lao Shao had cooked himself. After Jin Ling came, the task of cooking was gloriously on him.
Fortunately, Lao Shao had no high requirements for food, so he could cook it. He originally wanted to teach Jin Ling a few tricks of cooking, but when he saw Jin Ling's skillful cooking style, he stopped talking.
Half-year-old boy, he always couldn't eat enough, and Jin Ling didn't want to bother Aunt Yang and his daughter in everything. Their life was not easy, so he often found food and made food by himself. He climbed trees and dug bird nests, found honeycombs, went down the river to fish, caught hares in the wild, and went to the neighbors' vegetable fields to steal vegetables and sweet potatoes... He would do whatever he could make.
With Jin Ling, Lao Shao became even lazy. He often lay on the haystack, looking at the sky with his eyes squinted, not knowing what he was thinking. Then, every few days, Lao Shao would always disappear and appear apologetically after a few days.
The young man no longer said anything about this, he was used to it.
Without Shao Tong in charge, Jin Ling was worried about safety issues. Later, he gradually felt relieved. In the village, there would be no incidents such as stealing grass, and the immortals who came and went would not steal their own value for one or two copper coins per duct. Moreover, many people know that there were immortals in charge of this forage farm. Thieves who dared to make decisions had to consider their own weight first.
As for the monsters, there are low-level monsters in the grasslands around the grassland village, and they generally do not attack humans on their own initiative. Moreover, the urine of powerful monsters is sprinkled around them, and no monsters dare to come. As for why there were so many monsters coming that day, and even the black bracelets were ignorant of Dandan, this is something he has not figured out yet.
On that day, Lao Shao came back from outside and brought a large crystal bottle containing clear yellow liquid.
Lao Shao pointed to the liquid in the big bottle and said, "That is the urine of the high-level monster Thunder Leopard. I just bought it from Lingshan Fairy Township. Sprinkle them around the forage farm. No need to spend more, just a few drops in one place. Ordinary monsters have very sensitive sense of smell. They think there are high-level monsters here from afar, so they dare not come over easily."
He patted Jin Ling on the shoulder, "From tomorrow, I will leave this here to you."
Jin Ling's face suddenly turned dark: "Grandpa Shao, then where are you going?"
Lao Shao sighed: "I have been tired for most of my life and it's time to take a break." Looking at the sky, "I should give her a promise to the person waiting for me."
The person waiting for you...
That night, Jin Ling cooked and carried the wine from the cellar to see Lao Shao off. The old and the young were having a good time drinking, and Lao Shao was particularly happy and drank all three jars of wine.
His belly was so bloated that he was lying on the ground, like a dead pig who had been soaked in the river for thirty days.
The next day, the cart for supplying supplies in Shuangshixian Village came. The one who accompanied the cart was Wang Chong, the village owner of Xian Village. In front of Wang Chong, Shao Tong handed over all the affairs of the forage site to Jin Ling.
"Boy." Wang Chong looked apologized, "I'm really sorry for this matter. Lao Shao is old and has been in the grassland for 30 years and has not had a suitable replacement. Now he sees you coming, so he takes his own initiative to ask Xiancun to transfer him back. He is really too tired and old, and now he has some private matters to deal with, so I can't talk about him."
You have obviously decided, and you are still pretending to be embarrassed. Jin Ling complained in his heart. In fact, one person is still two people, so it doesn’t matter to him. If one person is, it is more convenient for cultivation.
"In theory, there are some low-level monsters around this forage farm, and it should be guarded by immortals." Wang Chong's face was very embarrassed, "At least, you have to send a martial artist. However, it is not easy to open an immortal, and it is even more difficult to practice. After working hard to open an immortal, you all want to make a name for yourself and be glorious in front of others. No one in the fairy village is willing to take on this hard job anymore..."
Wang Chong was really helpless. Logically speaking, there were monsters around where important places like the forage farm that transported mounts and fodder to the immortals in the entire immortal town, so his supervisor must be an immortal to deal with it.
At present, in the entire Shuangshi Xian Village, in addition to the village owner who is a senior immortal, there are also nineteen subordinate immortals with their own responsibilities. The more than 30 young immortals in the fairy village who have been promoted this year are all junior, and are assigned to practice their cultivation in Juying Building and various venues, or to be junior apprentices.
The chance of successful opening of immortals is extremely low, and it is even more difficult to cultivate immortal power.
Since we have worked hard and become an immortal from the crowd, no one is willing to do some low-key work. Guard the forage farm? Let the immortal do it? A joke!
Do you respect talents? If you don’t stay here, you will have your own stay! I heard that some fairy villages are well treated, so let’s go to another place to develop!
It is not impossible to hire mortals. The accountants in the mansion are mortals, and some guards are also mortals. But mortals are also unwilling to guard the forage farm! Mortals have their own parents, relatives, friends, wives and children. If you ask them to take some money to stay in the forage farm outside the village all day, they are lonely and tasteless. Except for giving them to the forage, they speak to mice and flies alone every day, and they don’t do anything to give them money.
This kid Jin Ling happened to be from the Grassland Village and was willing to take on this job. Shao Tong also left a letter to Wang Chong, saying that this kid is good. Although he is not a spiritual scholar, he can handle the job of a turfing farm. However, it is best if the fairy village sends a fairy scholar.
Send an immortal? If you can send an immortal, can I, the village master, still have to make such a difficult situation? Do you, an old man in your seventies, still have to squat here for more than 30 years?
"Mr. Village owner, I understand." Jin Ling pondered for a moment, "I am willing to continue to take on the work of the drafting yard."
Wang Chong was happy and said, "The village master's mansion used to give Lao Shao five silver dollars a month, but now, I will give you ten silver dollars a month! This is already comparable to the junior immortal in Juyinglou! You are young, but I think you can keep this pasture in order, which is really good!"
As he said that, he lined up ten silver dollars and placed them on the table.
The silver light is brilliant.
Ten silver dollars were placed in front of you.
It's really good. Aunt Yang worked hard, worked in the ranch, and sewed the villagers, and only had about two or three silver dollars a month.
"As for safety issues, you don't have to worry." Wang Chong said solemnly, "The escort of the village owner's mansion will patrol the surroundings of the forage yard every ten miles. All monsters that are close to the forage yard will be hunted and killed! If any illegal people dare to come here to make trouble, they will be punished strictly!"
