Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Even after many years, listening to Liu Shengli's account of what happened at that time is still thrilling.

“I was scared and didn’t know what was going on down there.

From a distance, I could only see yellow mist rising in the valley, accompanied by my father's screams. I still remember my father’s voice before he died: Take care of your brother and your mother, take this tree back, sell it and get a wife. The remaining money is reserved for the second son to marry a wife. Your father doesn't have much ability, so he finally did something for you two boys.

My dad's roar moved toward the valley.

Not long after, my brother dragged the chopped down golden nanmu out.

That golden nanmu tree is quite big. Even if the diameter of the tree is not one foot, it is more than seven inches. My brother was struggling alone, so I was about to go down and help him. At this time, I saw the terrible yellow mist coming out of the valley.

Then my brother screamed and fell to the ground.

After the yellow mist disappeared, I cried and ran over to check on my brother. He fell to the ground.

My brother's face was pale, but he was not dead.

He told me that a very large scorpion attacked him and his father. My dad has been killed by the scorpion spirit, and my brother just escaped by pretending to be dead. My right leg was stung by a scorpion spirit.

We brothers endured our grief and dragged the golden nanmu tree back home.

As a result, my brother fainted as soon as he arrived at the door of the house.

It was later discovered that the stung area on his right leg was black and swollen.

A doctor was invited to treat the patient. After seeing it, the doctor said that the scorpion poison was too powerful and the best way was to amputate his right leg immediately to see if he could save his life.

Our family was devastated at the time.

My father died tragically, with no bones left. My brother had to have his right leg amputated to save his life. A good home suddenly fell into pieces. In order to save his life, my brother had no choice but to amputate his right leg. The doctor prescribed some detoxification drugs for my brother to take internally and externally, and the situation improved.

After seeing the doctor, the five taels of silver I had spent selling trees had been spent.

At this time, my mother was thinking about selling the big golden nanmu tree to the Yan family.

After all, it cost my father's life and one of my brother's legs. If you can get a good price for the Yan family, it will be somewhat gratifying.

Unexpectedly, the Yan family is a jackal that eats people without spitting out their bones.

It is said that they are purchased at the price of one tael of silver per meter. That is to say, my father died, my brother became disabled, and no one in my family could make the decision. In the end, in order to treat my brother, my mother went to the Yan family manager and said a lot of good things, and the Yan family agreed to give me an extra tael of silver.

The big golden nanmu tree was sold for nine taels of silver.

When my brother learned about this, he was very angry. His condition began to worsen that night. He refused to eat or drink. Before he died, he held my hand and said to me tremblingly: Brother, I feel sorry for you and promised to leave money for you to marry two wives in the future. , that nine taels of silver is definitely not enough.

After my brother leaves, this family will all depend on you. You must live a decent life and marry a wife.

Only then did I realize that my brother was on a hunger strike to stop treating his illness and to save nine taels of silver for me to get a wife. "

At this point, Liu Shengli's fists were filled with water, and his knuckles turned white from too much force.

He hated the Yan family for being too cunning and indirectly killing his brother.

No wonder Liu Shengli never went to work in the Yan family. It turned out that he had hated the Yan family for a long time.

Based on Qin Niu's understanding of Yan Ruhai, he shouldn't be so cunning and unkind. Maybe this matter was handled by the person in charge below.

Many housekeepers of wealthy families get benefits from both sides.

For example, if the Yan family wants to purchase valuable wood to make furniture for the eldest young master, they leave this matter to the housekeeper. The housekeeper purchased a golden nanmu tree with a diameter of four inches and paid the woodcutter one tael of silver per meter. After all, this is what the Yan family agreed to do. Then when he reported the accounts to the Yan family, it was probably one, two, five, and one meter of silver.

It's equivalent to making a difference of five silver coins from it.

This incident served as a reminder to Qin Niu that he must be supervised when using servants in the future. Otherwise, the servants would secretly embezzle the benefits and oppress the people. In the end, the people would blame Qin Niu.

This is such an injustice.

"It's really unfortunate that your family paid such a heavy price to get a wife. Now that you have a wife and a child, your father and brother are alive in heaven and can smile again."

Qin Niu comforted him.

"What else can I do! People always have to look forward. If it could happen again, I would definitely stop my brother and my dad from cutting down the second golden nanmu tree.

Maybe you shouldn't be tempted by the Yan family's high price for buying valuable wood. "

Liu Shengli shook his head with a complicated expression.

"By the way, the scorpion demon has some regular activities. During the day, it rarely comes out. Also, it rarely leaves the valley. I have observed it many times over the years and never found it leaving the valley. .

But at night, it seems to often go outside the valley to look for food. Because I found that outside the valley I could often see traces of blood and struggle left by animals, as well as the remains of their eaten bodies. Such as fur, hooves, claws, tail, antelope horns, etc.

The scorpion demon not only ate the animals and birds near the valley, but also seemed to eat insects. I found that there were almost no spiders, caterpillars or other insects near the valley, and even crickets hiding underground were rarely found. "

Scorpions eat a variety of food, are very aggressive, and have a strong sense of territory.

They usually hide under rocks or rest in nests dug underground during the day, and only crawl out at night to look for food. Night is when they are most active.

"Have you ever been into the valley?"

"I've been there! The special fruit I picked was found in the valley. That kind of fruit can't be found anywhere else. There is only one in the valley."

Liu Shengli picks that special fruit to make fruit wine every year, but he has explored that dangerous valley many times.

"Do you know exactly where the scorpion monster is hidden?"

Qin Niu asked.

"It's not clear. I feel that it should be hiding in the deeper part of the valley. When it appears, there will often be yellow mist. By the way, that yellow mist is poisonous. It will make you feel dizzy and dizzy when you smell it, and it will take a long time. Only then can we return to normal. Master Qin must be careful not to smell the yellow mist caused by the scorpion demon."

Some more advanced monsters like to stir up white mist, strong wind, yellow mist, black wind, etc.

Just like when a saint appears, he must have fragrant carriages and jade chariots, and the sky is full of flowers and flowers.

Monsters also have some pomp and circumstance when they appear, which can also be called power.

"When you get outside the valley, tell me the location where you pick the special fruits."

Qin Niu wanted to dig up that special fruit tree and take it home.

Nowadays, Changchun Gong has been practiced to the spiritual realm, and the special ability to cultivate plants has become stronger.

Dig it back and plant it in the backyard. It will be much more convenient if you want to pick the fruit and make wine later.

"Master Qin, if you just want to pick those special fruits, I can do it for you every year."

Liu Shengli's eyes flashed. (End of chapter)
