Chapter 17 Choice

Huang Laocai was lying on the bed, shirtless, with several criss-crossing cuts on his back. The flesh and blood were turned out, making him look very scary.

At that time, every time the black shadow caught up with him, he would hit him with one or two knives.

At this moment, Huang Laocai's face was pale, and his wife, concubine, son, daughter, and the whole family were waiting in front of the bed, crying.

"I! I'm not dead yet... Oh, hey..."

"master!"

"Master, hold on, the doctor will be here soon!"

Huang Laocai turned to look at Er Gouzi.

Ergouzi ran all night and was now exhausted and resting against the door.

There was someone blocking my back at the time, but except for a puddle of yellow urine on my back, I was unscathed.

He was worried at this moment whether Huang Laocai would regret it. After all, it was three acres of land worth 60 taels of silver.

Moreover, Huang Laocai is now half-dead, and the rescue mission is only half completed at best.

Also, what if Huang Laocai dies before he has time to explain the land?

The two dogs were anxious and worried about gains and losses.

"Er Gou, you saved my life. The three acres of land in Shiwozi will be yours from now on."

Finally waiting for Huang Laocai's reply, Er Gouzi stood up from the ground with joy.

"Thank you! Thank you boss!"

From now on, he is no longer a tenant, but also a landowner.

He can do whatever he wants with his own land. He doesn't have to pay rent or worry about being repossessed. He can also build a tiled house on his own land.

"Hey, hey..."

He didn't know whether Huang Laocai was in pain in his body or in his heart at the moment, so he groaned for a long time.

"If you save my life, these three acres of land are nothing!"

"I can also give you another big gift."

Huang Laocai said, looking at the children around him, and finally fixed his eyes on the second daughter.

"I can give you two options, you can choose one of them."

"First, I will marry my second daughter to you, along with 20 acres of fertile land."

"father……"

When the second daughter heard her father's arrangement, she blushed with embarrassment and lowered her head to look at Er Gouzi quietly.

When Er Gouzi heard this, he was a little at a loss. He blushed, lowered his head, and looked at the second daughter secretly.

The two people's eyes collided in the air and quickly retracted.

Ergouzi's heart was beating fast. Yesterday, the village beauty who he thought was unattainable was going to be betrothed to him today, with a dowry of 20 acres of fertile land.

I don’t know what the second benefit will be. Can it be compared with the first one?

"The second item is that I can sell the entire Shekou Mountain to you for 800 taels of silver."

"These 800 taels of silver do not need to be paid back at once. You only need to pay back 40 taels every year, and pay them back in 20 years."

"You can choose one of these two."

After Huang Laocai finished speaking, everyone in the Huang family looked at Er Gouzi to see how he would choose.

Er Gouzi was torn in his heart. In fact, he wanted both of them.

If you marry a village beauty that is coveted by everyone in Shexi Village, you will also get a dowry of 20 acres of fertile land. You will get both wealth and wealth. From now on, you will become the son-in-law of the richest family, walking around in Shexi Village.

In the past, in his subconscious, the peak state of life would have been like this for Huang Laocai.

But this time he entered the city and discovered a broader world.

As the richest man in Shexi Village, Huang Laocai had to pay taxes honestly. In front of the government officials, he had to be careful to apologize if he was beaten.

When encountering obstacles, King Zhao should put on a smile and take the initiative to offer silver coins.

Encountered by the black shadows who were chasing him, if Er Gouzi hadn't stepped in at the critical moment, he wouldn't have been able to come back this time.

When Er Gouzi looked at the second daughter again, his eyes became much firmer.

With her round face, round waist, and round butt, it’s hard to find anyone else in Snake Creek Village.

The second daughter, looking directly at him like this, lowered her head, blushing to the root of her neck, holding her clothes with her fingers, waiting for the last moment to come.

Er Gouzi looked at the second daughter several times, and finally reluctantly moved his eyes away and spoke slowly.

"I want to buy Shekou Mountain!"

"You! You..."

The second daughter stomped her feet fiercely, covered her face and ran out of the room.

Huang Laocai glanced at the second daughter who left angrily and said nothing more.

"Okay, starting from today, even if Shekou Mountain is sold to you, you must repay 40 taels of silver every year. One tael can't be more, one tael can't be less, and you can't repay it in advance."

"Ouch...it hurts me to death!"

"If I cannot repay the 40 taels of silver that year by the end of the year, I will take back Shekou Mountain."

"When I recover from my injuries, I will go to the county government office with you and make a contract..."

…

Er Gouzi walked out of Huang Laocai's house in a daze, and he still hasn't recovered from the huge surprise.

He couldn't understand why Huang Laocai made such a strange contract.

Considering that he is now poor and cannot afford 800 taels of silver at one time, he can understand this if he pays it back in 20 years.

But he couldn't understand why he couldn't pay more every year or pay it off in advance.

I just feel a little sorry for my second daughter. I hope she won't resent me and find another good family.

I was thinking wildly in my head, and before I knew it, I had reached the foot of Shekou Mountain.

Looking at the barren mountain covered with rocks in front of him, he was completely immersed in the surprise of getting an entire mountain.

From now on, he also owns a piece of land.

Although the place is full of rocks, the soil is rarely very poor, and there is still a lack of water, there is also an advantage in that it is remote enough that no one usually comes.

He used to have concerns about farming here, but now that it belongs to him, he can fence off some places and keep outsiders out.

On the first day he came back, he moved some big rocks to block the only way up the mountain.

In the future, the only way to get in and out of Shekou Mountain is to climb rocks.

Anyway, he is strong and agile now, so it won't be difficult for him.

In the future, he will build a big house on the mountain and reclaim all the wasteland that can be reclaimed on the mountain.

He will plant food and precious medicinal materials on the mountain, and also plant all kinds of delicious fruit trees.

He will also raise some chickens, ducks and geese. In his memory, he ate chicken legs on his birthday when he was five years old.

It's a pity that fish can't be raised on the mountain, and fish meat is also delicious.

At this moment, Er Gouzi was full of energy and picked up a hoe to open up wasteland.

The only wasteland reclaimed on the mountain so far is the three acres of land in this stone nest, planted with rice and a small amount of chicken legs and wild vegetables.

This time, he successfully bought three kinds of medicinal seeds in the county town, namely Cistanche deserticola, Ginseng, and Polygonatum, and he needed to reclaim a piece of land for planting.

If he can plant successfully, he plans to plant these medicinal herbs in large quantities in the future.

Although grain is a hard currency and is easy to sell, the output is too large. He can't eat so much, and it's not so convenient to carry bags out to sell.

Now there are more than 100 stones of rice in the gourd, which is not enough for him to eat three or four meals a day.

He can only make powerful pills and sell them slowly.

He now has brute force, which is very suitable for doing land reclamation work. He can pick up a hundred pounds of stones with both hands and throw them.

Those weeds and tree roots were dug out by him with a few hoes.

It took only a few days to clear three-tenths of open space.

Ginseng, Polygonatum, and Cistanche deserticola were planted separately, one acre of land each, and then watered with water from the gourd.

Only one or two days after planting, ginseng and Polygonatum have sprouted and grown seedlings.

Only the place where Cistanche deserticola was planted did not see its growth and germination.

In the next few days, Er Gouzi, in addition to daily diligent cultivation, also checked the growth of the medicinal herbs in the field.

Ginseng and Polygonatum odoratum grew well, but there was no movement in the Cistanche deserticola.

Maybe he was deceived by the unreliable old man, or maybe the planting method was wrong.

He had never planted medicinal herbs before and knew nothing about planting medicinal herbs. He could only rely on the magical effect of the gourd.

The only thing he could do was to water it every day. The ginseng and Polygonatum odoratum seedlings grew a lot, but the Cistanche deserticola seedlings did not emerge.

Cistanche deserticola planting probably failed.
