Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons

Chapter 22 Chaos
It was the first time to hunt in the mountains, and the harvest was rich.

But I have also seen all kinds of them. Zhang Ze's carelessness almost lost his life, the Lijiabao hunter's ulterior motives, and the beasts and poisonous insects in the jungle are all potential dangers.

Gu Sheng made up his mind that he must be cautious when entering the mountain in the future.

No matter how good your archery skills are, you can't be complacent, otherwise you won't know how you died.

The four of them carried the wild boar back to the village.

Immediately aroused bursts of surprise and envious eyes.

"Er Niu, you are so lucky, this time you hit a wild boar again!"

"Next time you go into the mountains, you must take me with you!"

Some hunters were jealous when they saw the harvest of several people.

Gu Erniu just nodded and smiled honestly.

Back home, the four began to divide the wild boar according to the agreed share.

The meat output of wild boars is not bad, and wild boars close to [-] catties can have [-] to [-]% of the meat output.

Gu Sheng got twenty-five percent, one of which was forty to fifty catties of wild pork, and the rest were bits and pieces of pig bones and blood.

Seeing the rich spoils, everyone finally smiled again. No matter how the hunting process was, the result was good.

One catty of wild pork can be exchanged for about three catties of corn.

With these meats, even if the rest of them need to support their families, they can relax for a long time. If they save some rice bran, they can even stop hunting in the mountains for a month or two!
As for Gu Sheng, it is even more so if one person is full and the whole family is not hungry.

But now, in order to quickly strengthen his body, Gu Sheng has never been careful about eating. He must eat meat for every meal, and the rice is even more enough. He consumes a lot by himself.

But in any case, this time is quite a bumper harvest.

It is rare to have such a harvest several times a year during hunting.

"If calculated according to the market price, the harvest this time is at least more than one tael of silver. It really is high risk and high return!"

Gu Sheng felt emotional in his heart.

"Sell some of the pork for money, plus the money I saved before, one or two taels of money for the tuition of martial arts training is enough! But don't worry for now, first meet your nutritional needs. Now that you can make money by hunting, there are more opportunities to make money in the future."

He is in a good mood.

The speed of hunting and accumulating wealth is much faster than that of honestly chopping firewood, which is not an order of magnitude.

"Wait until I go into the mountain a few times with Brother Er Niu and the others, accumulate experience, and reach a great achievement in archery. Then you can try to go into the mountain alone."

"The tuition fee for martial arts training is only one part, and the subsequent consumption is the big one. I have to save money, the more the better!"

"But now, let's change some corn first. I'm tired of eating rice bran every day!"

If it's just bad taste, Gu Sheng can barely bear it. The key is that the nutritional value is low, and he is not very hungry. Now that the conditions are better, he will naturally go to exchange for some corn.

Not to mention eating corn all at once in the future, at least you can eat it mixed in and out.

Seeing Gu Youfu and Zhang Ze leaving, Gu Sheng also bid farewell to Gu Erniu:
"Brother Er Niu, I'm going to exchange some corn. Let the meat go to you first, and I'll get it later."

Gu Erniu hurriedly said:

"Wait, it just so happens that I don't have any rice at home, so I'll go with you."

The two walked together and walked towards the trading market in the village.

It is said to be a market, but it is actually just a small stop.

After all, Gujiazhuang only has a population of thousands of households.

This station was originally just a place set up by the owner to buy supplies, and later gradually developed into trading supplies among the villagers, but the scale is very small, and most of them are trades such as a piece of meat for a catty of rice.

The world is chaotic, bandits and bandits are all over the place, and ordinary villagers can only hide in the village.

If you want to go to Canghe County, unless you go with the caravan in the village.

Every once in a while.

The village will send warriors to follow and go to Canghe County to purchase supplies for the villagers to exchange.

Although the price will be a little more expensive than buying it in the city by yourself, it's not much more expensive, and it's better to be safe, Gujiazhuang is still a conscience.

Gu Erniu took Gu Sheng to the only regular trading point with ease, and said with a smile:
"Steward Wang, I'll exchange some corn."

The middle-aged steward who was squinting opened his eyes suddenly, seeing that it was Gu Erniu, he couldn't help but smile a bit:
"Er Niu, yo, this is another wild boar hit, amazing!"

"You kid, ever since he entered the mountain with Master Gu Changming, it's good luck!"

Gu Erniu hurriedly said humbly:

"It's all thanks to Master Gu Changming's blessing, how can I have such luck myself."

Steward Wang smiled and nodded, and took out a steelyard.

"How much corn do you want to change?"

Gu Erniu handed over the wild pork in Gu Sheng's hand.

"This is a total of [-] catties of wild pork, how much can I exchange for it?"

"This pork looks pretty good. It's better to exchange three catties for one catty, and I'll give you sixty catties of corn."

Gu Erniu thanked them again and again, while Gu Sheng stood behind and watched the two exchange greetings without saying a word.

Since Gu Erniu had a relationship with Gu Changming when he entered the mountain last time, many people would sell him some face, especially the stewards of the master's house, who more or less knew that Gu Changming promised that Gu Erniu could come to him for anything.

Seeing that the two were loading rice, Guanshi Wang pondered for a while, then pulled Gu Erniu over and said in a low voice:

"If you want to change rice, you'd better change some more."

Gu Erniu is not an idiot, he immediately understood the deep meaning, stared and said:

"You mean, food prices are going to rise?"

"Keep your voice down, I heard from Gu Renxu, the manager in charge of procurement, that there was a severe drought in Yunzhou, and there was no harvest. It was very miserable. A lot of grain from the surrounding states had been transported there. I heard that there was a war there..."

"Our Canghe County is far away, and the impact is small, but the rise in food prices is inevitable. It's a matter of time. This world is in chaos..."

Steward Wang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, with a sad expression on his face.

The trend of the times, not to mention him as a small manager, even the entire Gujiazhuang is just a drop in the ocean.

Gu Erniu's face turned pale.

In fact, he has no concept of Yunzhou, after all, the farthest place he has been to in his life is only Canghe County.

But he knows what rising food prices mean to the people at the bottom.

Life will get harder.

Gu Sheng has Su Hui from his previous life, and his knowledge is naturally not comparable to that of Gu Erniu. Hearing this sudden news, his heart tightened.

If it is just a severe drought, it is still within the scope of natural disasters.

But if war is brought about after the severe drought, it means that this dynasty is already out of order, and chaos is beginning to appear!
Natural disasters and man-made disasters, troubled dynasties, the difficulty of survival will increase exponentially!
Starving for thousands of miles, changing children to eat, will no longer just be recorded in books.

Gu Sheng couldn't help asking:
"Dare to ask Guanshi Wang, what is the situation of the war in Yunzhou? Is it the rebellion of the refugees or the rebellion of the rebels, and the war is still going on?"

Steward Wang looked at Gu Sheng in surprise, shook his head and said:

"I don't know the details. Manager Gu Renxu heard from Mr. Shu that the news came about a month ago. It is probably over now, but the mess over there will definitely not be cleaned up for a while. It is always right for you to stock up on more food."

Gu Sheng could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Being able to quickly suppress the turmoil shows that the foundation of the dynasty is still there, so it will not collapse so quickly.

What Gu Sheng is most afraid of is that the world is in chaos now, so he really can only follow the trend, without the slightest ability to protect himself.
