Chapter VII Changes in the county seat

Waited for a while.

Fang Yu couldn't wait to dig out the soil bag.

At this time, the outer surface of the earth bag has been burned and cracked, revealing the dark grass blades inside.

Fang Yu cracked the earth shell, and the grass blades inside immediately cracked, and the hot and fragrant snake meat fell to the ground in an instant.

Fang Yu quickly picked it up, patted the soil, and blew on it.

Because the snake meat is wrapped in leaves and roasted with soil, the snake meat is completely cooked, and when it is torn apart, the pieces of meat turn into shreds and fall off the snake bones.

Fang Yu couldn't hold back the smell at all.

Being tortured by his iron stomach, his eyes were almost turning green at this time!

There was still dirt on it, so Fang Yu threw the piece of meat into his mouth regardless.

Meat!!!!

The moment the snake meat entered her mouth, Fang Yu felt the joy of heaven!

At this moment, he clearly understood what it meant - "Food is the first necessity of the people".

The Tiger Walking Fist and being invincible in the world are not as important as the piece of meat in Fang Yu’s mouth at this moment!

This piece of shredded pork looked like Zhu Bajie swallowing a ginseng fruit to Fang Yu. The portion was so small that he swallowed it without even taking two bites.

But this was a signal to start. Next, Fang Yu put the snake meat into his mouth piece by piece.

In fact, there was no fishy removal or seasoning, and the taste of the snake meat was not very good, but in the mouth of Fang Yu, who was already extremely hungry, it was a peerless delicacy.

Pieces of snake meat disappeared into Fang Yu's mouth. Fang Yu didn't even let go of the snake bones. He controlled his masseter muscles to bite into pieces of the simmered and brittle snake bones, and then swallowed them.

These are also digestible and provide calcium!

Not only that, Fang Yu didn't even let go of the snake skin that Fang Yu put into the straw bag.

After these snake skins were roasted, they shrank up and were filled with collagen.

Fang Yu removed the snake scales.

He tried to taste it without removing his scales, but almost choked to death.

Therefore, you can only remove some obvious scales before throwing the snake skin into your mouth.

Except for the head, internal organs and some scales of the whole snake, Fang Yu did not waste any other parts. The seven or eight kilograms of snake body basically fell into Fang Yu's stomach.

After Iron Stomach received this sufficient amount of meat, it immediately began to digest the meat crazily.

With Fang Yu's current physique, Fang Yu can almost feel that her body is getting stronger every minute!

However, although the Iron Stomach has the function of enhancing physical fitness, this is not its main function after all, so this enhancement is actually the body being nourished by nutrients and regaining its proper strength.

After the body was full for a while, the feeling of increased strength disappeared. The food in the stomach was still being digested, but at this time it had become energy and began to be stored everywhere in Fang Yu's body, making Fang Yu, who was originally a little weak,

Back to normal again.

I was weak because of this snake, but also became strong again because of it.

Fang Yu clasped his hands together, sincerely expressing his gratitude to the iron head that allowed him to taste meat. Then, he wiped his mouth and tidied up the place.

At this time, the sun has begun to set. If there is no time to hunt, all Fang Yu can do now is to go to the mountains to collect firewood and complete today's goal.

Originally, yesterday's pile was enough, but today I burned a lot of snake meat and had to make up for it.

After cleaning up the scene, Fang Yu clapped his hands, picked up the hatchet, picked up the backpack, started breathing, and controlled his body to suppress the body's energy and prevent it from developing too quickly.

As the saying goes, there is no way to awaken without experiencing it.

Only after Fang Yu experienced the dilemma of splitting his efforts into two parts, did he realize that his former self was simply a prodigal!

Grandmaster Huajin's strength naturally allowed him to have better control over his body. With his physique at that time, even after controlling it, the power he exuded was incomparable to ordinary people.

If the energy consumed by ordinary people is 3%, Fang Yu consumes 1%.

It seems that its proportion is small, but its base is large!

If the energy of an ordinary person's whole body is 100, Fang Yu's is at least 10,000!

Three percent of ordinary people is 3, and one percent of Fang Yu’s is 100!

It is said in fantasy that the yang energy all over the body of a martial artist is surging. This is probably the reason.

It wasn't until this world, because there was not enough food, that Fang Yu began to instinctively control his body and learn to be frugal. Only then did he realize that as long as he maintained the most basic human activities, he couldn't expend much energy at all.

With his low-power long-distance rotation, he has completely recovered the energy consumption state before he learned the Tiger Walk Fist.

The appetite won't be that big, and I won't get hungry so quickly.

Fang Yu's control of energy gave him a deeper understanding of his body's functions. Vaguely, he felt that the bottleneck of his energy had loosened a bit.

Originally, Grandmaster Huajin's meticulous control had already given him a very strong control over his strength, but now, he felt that he could control it even more minutely.

For example, he can begin to vaguely control the metabolism of the internal organs.

Is this what Bao Dan means?

Let the internal organs also be as round as desired, naturally forming a perfect and controlled link from beginning to end, achieving a circle?

Fang Yu didn't know if this was the right understanding, but at least, his upper limit seemed to have begun to slowly increase again.

And this is enough.

Maintaining this low power state, Fang Yu entered the forest with a calm expression.

Every step and every action he took was controlled perfectly, without any waste of manpower.

It seems very complicated, but it is actually very simple. It is to simplify certain repetitive and unnecessary movements. In this way, his movements will naturally become concise.

It just looks a bit dull on the outside, like a robot.

With Fang Yu's mental acuity and reaction ability, the efficiency of collecting and chopping firewood is obviously not comparable to that of the little carrot head before.

After a while, Fang Yu replenished the firewood and picked up some more.

Put it in a backpack, stack it high, tie it with a rope, and carry it on your back.

He was bent over, hunched over a pile of firewood that was larger than others, as if he was buried in it, and walked towards home step by step. The firewood seemed to be shaking, but there was no movement in his steps.

loose...

Along the way, Fang Yu met villagers who had just returned from going up the mountain to cut firewood.

Everyone was sweating, nodding and smiling, and everything was speechless.

Fang Yu controlled his steps and walked smoothly all the way home. Even though he was sweating profusely, his breathing was still quite steady.

However, when he first arrived at the door of his house, he discovered that Fang Sanduo was actually at home today!

Normally, Fang Sanduo would still be in the fields when he came back, but today he actually returned home early.

Not to mention, he should be going to the city to buy rice today. Fangjia Village is more than 20 kilometers away from the county seat. Even if he takes an ox cart, it will be dark by the time he comes back.

Moreover, from a distance, Fang Yu could see that Fang Sanduo was looking sad now.

"Goudan, are you back?"

The moment Fang Yu opened the fence door, Fang Sanduo saw Fang Yu. He seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but want to control the sadness on his face.

But he had been an honest farmer all his life, and it was really difficult for him to learn to manage his expressions. Therefore, Fang Yu not only failed to see that he had restrained his scowl, but instead looked more and more constipated.

Fang Yu placed the firewood in the corner of the wall, scooped up the water from the water tank next to it, drank several large gulps, and then poured a gourdful of it on her body, letting the linen clothes on her body soak.

In fact, this linen clothes had been soaked with sweat for a long time. Now that I rinsed it, the strong smell of sweat has faded a lot.

Then, carrying his wet hair, he went to his room, took out a kerchief that he had washed and dried yesterday, and wrapped it around his head.

He immediately transformed into a Tujia farmer and worker.

At this time, Fang Yu walked into Fang Sanduo's earthen house and asked Fang Sanduo seriously.

"Uncle, what happened?"

Fang Sanduo was about to speak but stopped, and finally heaved a long sigh and said.

"Let's wait until your aunt comes back."

As he spoke, he sighed again.

Fang Yu looked at the sky outside. Yesterday, her aunt collected a set of linen clothes she had worn. At this time, her aunt should be washing clothes by the well. Counting the time, she was almost back.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the aunt passed by the fence of her house, laughing and chatting with another aunt from outside.

After she said goodbye with a smile to the aunt, she held the wooden basin and pushed open the door of her house. As soon as she pushed it open, she saw Fang Sanduo and Fang Yu sitting in the main room, with a smile even brighter than before.

With a smile on his face, he spoke from a distance.

"Master, you are back! Goudan, you chopped a lot of firewood today. You can chop less tomorrow. Sell these loads first."

It wasn't until she entered the main room that she realized the solemn atmosphere in the room.

"What...what happened? The boss?"

Huang Mei stood at the door with her wooden basin on her side, afraid to go in because of the atmosphere.

Fang Sanduo looked at a yellow plum and said with a forced smile on his face.

"Amei, please hang up your clothes first. There is something we need to discuss..."

Seeing her husband like this, what else could Huang Mei say? She could only hang up her clothes in a hurry, then returned to the main room and sat across from Fang Sanduo.

The three of them sat in a triangle, Fang Yu and Huang Mei stared at Fang Sanduo, waiting for him to speak.

Fang Sanduo smacked his lips, picked up the wooden bowl on the table and drank a large gulp of well water before he spoke.

"Today I teamed up with Erniu and the others to hire an ox cart to buy rice in the county town. After we went there, we discovered that there were people everywhere in the county town looking like they were fleeing the famine, and the guards at the city gate were also very strict. Some

Anyone who didn’t have a way out of the city was arrested and I heard they were going to be put in a dungeon!”

"At that time, Erniu and I felt panicked. How could we dare to go in? After asking an old man who had left the city, we found out that a notice had been issued in the county saying that Xiliang was going to war. In order to collect grain and grass

, we need to increase taxes by another 30%!!”

"What? Thirty percent?"

Huang Mei exclaimed.

"But obviously we just paid taxes last month, and now we have to pay another 30%?!"

Fang Sanduo looked at Huang Mei's aggrieved face, closed her eyes, sighed, and told a fact that was even more unacceptable to her.

"Instead of paying another 30%, we will charge another tax and increase it by 30%."

"Last time we paid six big bucks, but I heard from the uncle that we have to pay a full eight bucks this time!"

In Chu State, 10 characters are called Da, 100 characters are called Zhang, and 1000 characters are called Diao.

This is a quantitative unit that is popular in the market. As far as Fang Yu knows, no one in the entire village has seen silver.

Huang Mei looked at Fang Sanduo, opened her mouth, and said in a bitter tone.

"Eight big bucks? But... all the money we have now is only two palms... How can we live if we have to pay this?"

"That's why some people want to escape..."

Fang Sanduo sighed and then said.

"Master, what should we do? Have you bought rice?"

Only then did Huang Mei remember that Fang Sanduo was going to the county town to buy food. Now that he couldn't enter the city, how could he buy food?

The food at home is almost empty, and I won’t be able to survive even these few days if I don’t buy it!

Fang Sanduo nodded, lifted a grain bag from under his wooden stake and placed it on the table.

Huang Mei quickly picked it up and shook it with her hands. Unexpectedly, the portion was quite large. According to her experience, it was at least three buckets!

And the moment Fang Sanduo took out the grain bag, Fang Yu's nose moved, and suddenly her eyes became sharp. When she looked at Fang Sanduo, her eyes were quite shocked.

Huang Mei didn't notice this. She was holding the grain bag with a look of joy on her face.

With the grain in her hand, she felt confident. Feeling the weight on her hand, she asked curiously.

"Master... why did you buy so much grain? Did you spend all the money to buy it?"

Fang Sanduo was silent.

Immediately, he reached into his pocket and took out a small bag with bulging contents. He threw it on the table with a crisp sound of coins clanking.

Huang Mei was stunned.

She sorted out this money bag and gave it to Fang Sanduo in the morning. She knew very well how much money was in it. Therefore, when she saw the bulging capacity of this money bag, she realized that this money bag seemed to have not changed at all.

Same.

But without spending any money, how can a master... huh?

At this time, Huang Mei realized that her hands were suddenly a little sticky.

She put the grain bag back on the table and looked down.

"ah!!!"

Huang Mei jumped up in fright after seeing what was in her hands clearly, waving her palms in panic, and then stood there for a while, speaking in a crying tone.

"Ugh...Master, Master, what's going on? You...you're injured? Are you okay?"

That's right, Huang Mei's hands were stained with sticky blood.

Huang Mei was frightened at first, but after all, it was just a little blood stain. She had been injured during daily farm work. The reason why she was frightened was simply because it was too sudden.

Therefore, after the initial fright, she suddenly realized the source of the blood stains, and quickly rushed towards Fang Sanduo and looked at all parts of his body, thinking that Fang Sanduo was injured.

Fang Sanduo stopped Huang Mei's hand, asked her to sit down again, and then explained what happened next.

turn out to be.

After hearing about this tax change, both Fang Sanduo and Erniu had retreated and did not dare to enter the city.

I'm afraid I won't be able to get out if I get in.

Or maybe it came out and the money was gone.

But food had to be bought.

Otherwise, food will be cut off directly.

Fortunately, the old man kindly told him that in the small forest outside the city, there was an original merchant who, after learning about the situation in the county, did not enter the market and sold grain directly in the small forest.

However, it's just a bit expensive...

Fang Sanduo and the others just thought that what the old man said was a little more expensive, and it was just a little more expensive, so it shouldn't be too much, and they were very grateful to the old man.

But when I arrived, I realized that it was not just a little expensive, but hundreds of millions of dollars!

A bucket of rice was sold for two palms!

This and that are for sale...

This is clearly a robbery!
