I was pulling trees in Daming, and Lao Zhu begged me to come out of retirement

Chapter 7 It’s been decades since I woke up?!

"Zhongba! Chongba!"

The hurried voice made Zhu Chongba a little confused.
He crawled out of the soil with his face covered, and when he opened his eyes he saw his second brother with an excited look on his face.

Zhu Chongliu: "You are finally awake. Look! Look at our parents' graves!"

Zhu Chongba touched his swollen cheek and said in confusion:

"Brother, did you hit me just now?"

Zhu Chongliu blinked awkwardly and quickly changed the subject:
"I told you not to wake up just now, so I slapped you to wake you up. Look over there."

Zhu Chongba looked in the direction his second brother pointed with a pained look.

"Hiss? Why is this tree so tall?!"

He was shocked to find that the sapling that Tianyu had planted yesterday had now grown into a giant tree about four or five meters tall.

Even Tianyu didn't know that the pine and cypress saplings had fully matured in just one day under the influence of bone meal.

Zhu Chongba stood up suddenly and said in fear:

"Oh no, second brother!"

Zhu Chongliu calmed down his excitement, looked at Zhu Chongba strangely and asked:
"what happened?"

Zhu Chongba said with a somewhat grim expression: "Brother, we heard from our parents that the woodcutter met a god, and decades or even hundreds of years passed in his sleep."

"Look, we are also sleeping, buried in the soil. It takes decades for this tree to grow to this size."

Zhu Chongliu's eyes widened.

"Really, really?!"

Zhu Chongba nodded: "That must be the case. My mother told me so."

The two of them panicked when they heard this.

In this case, wouldn't they even have no identity?
They got up and kowtowed nine times in front of their parents' graves. Then they dug out the buried farm tools and headed towards the village.

Along the way, the two of them walked on the rugged road with trepidation.
They were very worried that there was no one in the village who knew them.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was not the future founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty who would kill everyone in his way. He was just an ordinary cowherd.

He didn't have those messy ideas. He just felt that if he didn't return home when he was rich and powerful, it would be like walking in the night in fine clothes.
I have finally become rich after receiving a gift from an immortal, so I must make those poor friends envious.

When we were playing house in the past, we always thought about rewarding our friends. But if after decades or hundreds of years, all the friends died, then it would not be easy for us to get the treasure.

The two of them arrived at the village entrance nervously, and the person they saw coming towards them was Zhu Yuanzhang's childhood friend Tang He.

Zhu Chongba was overjoyed when he saw Tang He:
"Tang He, how many years have we been away?!"

Tang He looked at Zhu Chongba in astonishment and fear. He whispered:

"Brother Chongba, are you crazy? Didn't you just drag your auntie yesterday..."

Tang He closed his mouth halfway through his speech.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had just experienced a tragedy in which nearly all of his family members died.

Suddenly, the soup and stomach made a rumbling sound.

Zhu Chongba was not angry but was overjoyed.

1 day! I was only away for one day!
That pine and cypress tree grew in just one day!
Zhu Chongba looked around and then took out two roasted mushrooms and stuffed them into Tang He's hand:

"This is for you. Eat sparingly. It will keep you full!"

He and his elder brother roasted some mushrooms yesterday.

Obviously, this thing won't make you feel full after eating it.
But the two of them felt full after eating just one, and they are not hungry at all now.

The two agreed that this was definitely because the mushrooms were fairy mushrooms given by the gods.
In fact, this is the game effect produced after the assimilation of the Tianyu system backpack. The food in the game can basically increase the feeling of fullness and hunger. There is no difference between staple food and supplementary food. Whether eating mushrooms or bread, it can increase the hunger value.

If Tang He had not grown up with Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Chongba would never have given him this thing.

Tang He took the roasted mushrooms with shining eyes and asked:

"Brother Chongba, did you go up the mountain? We heard that wolves have attracted people to the mountain and killed many people. Although these mushrooms are delicious, they won't fill you up."

He took a mushroom and bit into it.

A natural fresh fragrance filled Tang He's mouth.
"Smells good! It smells really good! Chongba, where did you find this mushroom?"

Zhu Chongba looked at the soup he was wolfing down and smiled crookedly:
"But, this is given to us by the gods! Hey, go slowly, just eat one, it's a waste if you eat too much!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Tang He had already started to show off his second flower, he hurriedly stopped his shameful behavior of waste.

Tang He looked at Zhu Chongba with a wronged look on his face.
"Brother Chong, what can we do with this one flower? We haven't eaten for several days."

Zhu Chongba glared at Tang He and said:
"Can we harm you? Can you feel whether you are full or not?"

Tang He muttered reluctantly:

"How can I be full? I ate three pancakes and...Huh? I'm really not hungry anymore!"

In the MC world, mushroom stew made from 2 mushrooms can restore 6 hunger points and 7.2 satiety points.

Although the amount of roasted mushrooms has been slightly reduced, it is still enough for an adult to not need to eat for a whole day if converted to the modern world.

Tang He looked at the roasted mushroom in his hand with excitement as if he was looking at a treasure.

"Brother Chongba, where did you dig these mushrooms? I'll call Guo Ying and the others to help us dig more."

Zhu Chongba glared at Tang He and said:
"That's all! That's all! I told you, these are all given by the gods, there's not that much."

Tianyu originally gave a group of 1 mushrooms,
He and his second brother roasted a total of four flowers yesterday. They ate two and kept two, which are the two given to Tang He now. The rest were secretly hidden by the two brothers.

Compared to these tools, they think these fairy mushrooms might be more valuable. It would be wonderful if they could ascend to immortality by eating them.

Tang He smacked his lips with satisfaction, looked at the grilled mushrooms in his hand which did not look very good, swallowed his saliva and handed them back to Zhu Chongba.

"Heavy Eight Brother, here you go, we are full."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said generously:

"There's no reason to take back what we gave away. Eat it and save it for tomorrow."

Tang He's parents had both passed away, and he was raised in his aunt's home. Now it was a year of famine, and even his own son had no chance of survival. One can imagine how Tang He was treated. When he was herding cattle with Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He was often so hungry that he could not walk.

Zhu Yuanzhang helped him a lot since he was a child.

This is also the reason why he was willing to obey Zhu Yuanzhang, a small soldier, when he followed Guo Zixing in the uprising with the rank of a thousand households.

Tang He burst into tears when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
"Brother Chongba, I, I will never forget you in this life!"

Zhu Chongba waved his hand and said to Tang He:

"Don't thank me yet, just do us a favor first."

Upon hearing this, Tang He patted his chest and said:
"Don't worry, Brother Chongba, I will do you ten favors, not just one!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
"Well, you spread the news that we met the gods. Did you see the treasures on my back? These are all gifts from the gods. Find a way to recruit people to tell the landlords. Then I can sell them for a good price."

Tang He looked at the wooden farm tools behind Zhu Chongba and felt a little confused:

"This is all the gods have given me? Brother Chongba, are you sure this is not a toy you carved yourself?"
