Turning the corner and avoiding the eyes staring at him, Chen Mu chuckled.
"You still want to cheat me out of money, but there is no way!" He became more and more sure that Lu Captou and Sheng Hong were in the same group.
"I thought this guy was a good person before." Chen Mu sighed.
You may smile on the surface, but you will be tricked behind your back.
The world is dangerous!
"There are not many simple people like me anymore..." Chen Mu sighed.
…
Dongshi
"Zheng Tu, why has the price of meat increased again?" Chen Mu asked with a frown.
The last time I came to buy it, it was twenty-six copper coins per pound, and now it has increased to thirty-two.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The cattle dealers screwed up the robbers, and now they're selling the ones I raised at home."
The price was high, but there was not much joy on Zheng Tu's face.
"Getting robbed again? Isn't it because the cattle dealer wanted to raise the price to deceive people?" Chen Mu was suspicious.
"I asked someone to inquire, and it's true that it's not peaceful outside recently." Zheng Tu said worriedly.
Chen Mu's heart moved, but he did not urge Zheng Tu to take any action. He took the opportunity to inquire about the outside world while chatting.
Three or four months after he came to this world, he has been living in Qingshan County. His understanding of the outside world is only vague memories of his previous life.
"It's okay for us here. It's a remote place and it's relatively peaceful. It's said that there have been rebellions in some places and bandits are rampant."
"Recently, many refugees from war-torn areas have come to our Qingshan County."
"We must not cause chaos here."
Zheng Tu was worried while cutting the meat. Only in a peaceful world can he do business.
"Calculating it this way, Qingshan County is still considered safe?"
Even in this so-called safe place, there are still people who dare to kill everyone. What kind of chaos will the chaotic world outside be like?
unimaginable!
Before, he had thought about wandering around.
But it was so dangerous outside, so Chen Mu was a little hesitant.
"Eat meat and practice your martial arts honestly."
If you don't have strong skills, don't think about jumping around.
With proficiency in cheating, Chen Mu had no doubts about his cultivation speed.
"It won't be too late for me to become the Shilipo Sword God before I leave the mountain."
…
At first, Chen Mu thought that his life would be full of ups and downs and magnificent events.
In fact, as time goes by, I find that it is not much different from my previous life.
Get up every day, wash, eat and practice, and go out every three or four days to make money by painting portraits.
Just like in my previous life, I clocked in and clocked in all day long.
But it is better than the earth in the previous life.
Whether it’s painting or practicing, every time you put your energy into it, you will definitely gain insights.
This kind of solid feedback of watching his abilities improve little by little makes Chen Mu enjoy it endlessly.
A calm life becomes more and more enjoyable.
…
Twenty miles south of Qingshan County, there is a mountain behind Chenjia Village.
Five or six hunters carrying bows and arrows and woodcutter were walking in the forest.
Underfoot is a path that is barely exposed, surrounded by lush green vegetation.
In addition to the unknown birdsong, there are also the occasional roars of unknown beasts.
Among this group of people, there was a young man with fair skin who seemed out of place. It was Chen Mu who came to Chenjia Village.
"Muwazi, you are not waiting here in the city, why would you want to go hunting with us in the mountains?" the leading middle-aged man asked curiously.
"Uncle Erdao, someone in the city wants a landscape painting, so I can only come and inspect it on the spot. I'm sorry to bother you, uncles." Chen Mu said with a smile.
"Landscape painting? What do you want that for?" A short and stocky man in the team was curious.
"Maybe I haven't seen it before and I don't want to go out and suffer, so I bought the painting and went back to see it." A person next to him speculated.
Chen Mu smiled and didn't interrupt, letting everyone guess.
Chenjiacun is Chen Mu’s hometown and is surrounded by mountains on three sides.
The predecessor's grandfather lived here until his death. The predecessor followed his father to the city mainly because his father wanted to teach in Qingshan County.
Most people in the village have the surname Chen, and they always have roundabout relatives.
Although his old house is dilapidated, it is still there.
The predecessor would come back several times a year to clean the ancestral home and pay homage to the ancestors.
So it was easy to get involved with the Orion team in the village.
He returned to his hometown this time to purchase Qianxucao.
The prices of pork, grains and medicinal materials all increased in unison.
The number of people looking for him to paint will definitely decrease, and he has to think about the future.
Following Orion into the mountains is a way to familiarize yourself with the mountain environment in advance.
The mountains have complex terrain and mixed vegetation. He plans to test the kestrel training technique here.
"Muwazi, the mountain road is difficult to walk, so watch your step." Chen Erdao warned.
"Okay." Chen Mu agreed honestly.
The strong man was worried and looked back from time to time.
But unexpectedly, he discovered that Chen Mu was walking steadily and without any confusion.
After walking with them for so long, he himself was a little out of breath, but Chen Mu still breathed evenly, it was like going out for a spring outing! He was amazed to see it.
After wandering around the mountains and forests for three days, Chen Mu followed the hunters to check traps, collect herbs, and hunt hares and pheasants.
It wasn't until the fourth day that we returned with Orion with a full load.
Along the way, I kept asking questions when I encountered something I didn’t understand. I finally got a general understanding of the mountains behind Chenjiacun.
…
Two days later, Chen Mu left Chenjia Village with dozens of Thousand Grass Grasses.
He bought it in Qingshan County, and one plant cost half a tael of silver, or nearly 600 copper coins.
The drug dealer took it from the villagers, but only paid sixty coppers per plant.
Even if it were sold directly to a drug store in the city, it would only cost seventy copper coins at most.
Nearly ten times the profit!
"Dark, really dark!" Chen Mu shook his head and complained.
After leaving Chenjiacun, he did not go back to the city directly. Instead, he took a short break and walked into the forest again.
He hasn't forgotten that he came here not only to collect herbs, but also to test the training technique.
Driving into the mountain, Chen Mu tightened the package behind his back and moved forward cautiously.
In addition to ferocious beasts, there are also poisonous insects in the mountains. Sometimes an inconspicuous insect can kill a person.
While paying attention to the surrounding environment, Chen Mu slowly increased his speed.
At first he was just walking quickly, but soon he was running.
A protruding stone, a broken dead tree, any point can become his borrowing point.
Chen Mu was like a cheetah, rushing through the mountains and forests, his clothes blowing in the wind.
He rushed to the top of a hill in one breath, his chest was so happy that he couldn't help but roar.
"Haha... cool!"
Whether it is speed, physical strength or reaction speed, it has exceeded ordinary people.
This was unimaginable in the previous life, so Chen Mu couldn't help but be excited.
I was about to roar a few more times.
"Ouch..."
A howl of a beast suddenly sounded.
Chen Mu couldn't help but shrink his neck.
"Low-key, low-key, don't waste time!"
There are tigers and ferocious beasts in the deep mountains and old forests!
If someone with his body meets him, he will have to drink in anger on the spot.
Quickly leave the hillside and go straight to a mountain cabin, which is a temporary camp built by hunters in the mountains.
After putting away the things he brought, Chen Mu didn't run far away and practiced kestrel training in the surrounding mountains and forests.
Although the complex environment increases the difficulty, it also increases the rewards.
He practiced six times in one go and actually improved his proficiency by more than seventy points.
"If you combine it with the secret medicine, your proficiency will be even greater!"
Chen Mu almost wanted to live directly in the mountains and forests.
"This matter cannot be rushed, it must be considered in the long run."
He also had to draw portraits to make money, and if he wanted to practice martial arts in the mountains, he needed to plan carefully.
