Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

"Ah... are you kidding me? That scorpion spirit is very scary. If you are not careful, you will die!"

Liu Shengli was so frightened that his face changed.

His wife was also frightened and spilled the tea in her hand.

"Don't worry, I know you have a wife and children. I don't need you to enter that valley. You just need to show me the way." Qin Niu heard about the scorpion demon from Huofeng very early, but it was still weak at that time. , so I didn’t dare to go and investigate.

For any insect master, knowing that there is a wild insect demon, I am afraid that no one can resist such temptation.

You must find a way to conquer it.

Qin Niu has been delaying until now, and he is already acting very rationally.

"That's not what I meant. I'm very worried about your safety. You are the patron saint of our Shuangfeng Village..." Once Liu Shengli heard that he was not required to enter the valley, the nervous look on his face immediately dissipated.

He had a clever mouth and was eloquent, and he immediately expressed his loyalty to Qin Niu.

"Okay, okay, you take the woodcutter and lead the way! Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely not let your man take risks, I will just let him show the way."

Qin Niu looked at Liu Shengli's wife.

"Thank you, Master Qin, for your mercy! Thank you, Master Qin, for your mercy!"

She was not polite this time, but bowed to Qin Niu repeatedly.

Liu Shengli went into the house, took a hatchet and two bundles of knives, and took out the thick rope.

"Honey, keep an eye on the kids at home. I'll show Mr. Qin the way and come back soon." He and his wife must have a good relationship, as both of them showed reluctance in their eyes.

His wife just bit her thin red lips and nodded vigorously.

Seeing Liu Shengli walking out of the house with Qin Niu, she chased him out, holding on to the door frame and shouting, "Master Qin, my husband is entrusted to you, but you must not let him enter that valley!"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen!"

Qin Niu waved his hand and strode forward.

Liu Shengli led the way, but he climbed straight towards a mountain range next to Huofeng Mountain.

"Is that valley just ahead?"

Qin Niu had spiritual energy realm cultivation and footwork and martial arts skills, and he followed Liu Shengli easily.

"After climbing over the previous peaks, you can see a very deep valley. Even in broad daylight, the light in the valley is still very dark, and the trees are extremely lush. There are many eucalyptus trees and wild vines growing in the valley, and some The aged golden nanmu.

Discovering that valley was also a chance encounter.

Once, the eldest son of the Yan family got married, and the Yan family wanted to build a set of decent furniture for the eldest son. I looked at the furniture in the city and thought the price was too expensive and I wasn't satisfied with the style, so I wanted to use the Yan family's carpenters to make the furniture myself.

You can certainly save a lot of money by building your own furniture, but expensive wood is hard to find.

In particular, some older and more valuable woods are extremely difficult to find.

At that time, the Yan family sent word to all the woodcutters in Yuxi Town to purchase golden nanmu and blood sandalwood at high prices. The prices quoted are indeed very attractive.

A golden nanmu tree with a diameter of more than three inches costs one tael of silver per meter. A blood sandalwood tree with a diameter of more than three inches costs six coins per meter.

Our family was very poor at that time. My brother was already past the age to marry, and I was still young at the time, only a little over ten years old. At that time, my brother saw other people sleeping with their wives in their arms every day, and he really wanted to start a family.

You also know that our Liu family has been woodcutter for generations, making a living by cutting firewood and logging. Seeing that the Yan family purchased golden nanmu and blood sandalwood at a high price, my brother was immediately moved. Early the next morning, he pulled me aside and whispered to me: Brother, now that the Yan family is collecting precious wood at a high price, our family has an opportunity to turn around.

We will go to the mountains today to look for golden nanmu and blood sandalwood. As long as we find two or three larger ones, we will be able to pay for our wives.

I was still young at that time and didn’t know much about getting a wife.

But every time I hear someone laughing at our family for not being able to afford a wife, I feel very uncomfortable.

So I followed my brother and took the hatchet, rope, dry food, and water into the mountain.

After searching hard, Huangtian paid off and our brothers discovered two golden nanmu trees, one big and one small, outside the valley. The big ones are as thick as an adult's waist, and the smaller ones are about four inches in diameter. This made us both very happy.

My brother was so excited that his face turned red. He patted my shoulder vigorously and said in an unprecedentedly passionate tone: Brother, we have enough money to marry four wives. Your brother, I am twenty-one now, I have not yet married a wife, and I have never even touched a woman’s hand. I really thought about that tonight! It's really hard for a man without a wife. I will never let you suffer like that again.

As long as you are over fifteen years old, I will immediately ask the matchmaker to find you a beautiful girl. "

Speaking of these past events, Liu Shengli's face showed a gentle expression that he had never seen before, but tears fell down his cheeks.

Who would have thought that Liu Shengli, a shrewd businessman, would also have an affectionate side.

It was obvious that he had a deep relationship with his brother.

Qin Niu only knew that Liu Tieniu was a short-lived ghost. He heard that he was injured while going up the mountain to cut firewood and died within a few days of lying down after returning home. The Liu family has not told outsiders how he died.

Qin Niu was only four or five years old at that time and didn't understand anything.

Playing in the mud with the older kids all day long.

Now it seems that Liu Tieniu's death is related to the cutting of golden nanmu.

The two brothers are just ordinary people. When they meet the scorpion demon, they can think of the ending with their toes.

"We excitedly rushed towards the two golden nanmu trees with hatchets. As soon as we arrived under the trees, my sharp eyes spotted a rusty hatchet falling there. Pulling open the dead leaves on the ground, we found A dead skeleton that had long since decayed.

I was so scared that I almost peed my pants.

My brother was also very scared.

He quickly realized the danger and deliberately found an excuse to ask me to wait for him far away. He blamed me for being stupid at the time, and he told me to stand on the opposite mountain peak to watch for him, and to notify him immediately if I found anyone coming.

There was no accident when cutting down the first smaller golden nanmu tree, everything went smoothly.

After cutting it down, my brother pulled it two to three hundred meters away from the valley, and then asked me to come over and help.

The two of us transported the golden nanmu tree back home.

He took it to Yan's house and after measuring it, he found that the tree was more than five meters long. Sure enough, he sold it for five taels of silver.

I made five taels of silver at once, and my brother and my parents were very happy.

The next day, the three of us, father and son, went into the mountains together, preparing to cut down the big golden nanmu and take it home.

This kind of precious wood, the bigger it is, the more valuable it is. Yesterday, the tree with a diameter of less than four inches was sold for five taels of silver. The remaining big tree could be sold for at least twenty or thirty taels of silver.

My dad and my brother cut down trees together, but my brother arranged for me to stand sentry on the opposite mountain peak.

Everything went smoothly at first. After the tree was cut down, I only heard my dad scream. Then he shouted to my brother: Tieniu, run, this beast is powerful! "(End of chapter)
