I became an old man in my leisure time

The people who dare to live in the mountains are all very brave, and they must have the courage to fight.

Otherwise, if they meet strange monsters like the ghost-faced sunflower monster, they will be scared to death and die faster.

Originally, this guy would not be of concern to Gu Ke, but he has been perceiving that he has been encouraging Niu Dazhuang to collect some purple wheat seeds and go to the city to make a fortune.

This is undoubtedly completely contrary to the intention of the system to spread.

However, this is Xiaoman's hometown, and Niu Dazhuang, the village chief in her mouth, is also a good person, and he has not bullied the villagers.

Just now, Niu Erbao, the lazy guy, kept persuading him, and although Niu Dazhuang was tempted, he finally refused.

If not, Niu Dazhuang and Niu Erbao, the uncle and nephew, would have to be disabled together.

The system has given a three-year confidentiality period for the safety of Xiongjia Village.

There is no fairy field here, and it will take several months for the purple wheat to be harvested in one season.

The villagers of Xiongjia Village must harvest at least the second season to have enough grain seeds to eat and use.

If the purple wheat was known by the forces in the city before the first season was planted, the whole village of Xiongjia Village would probably be wiped out.

Even in modern society, there are big businessmen who directly blow up the factories of competitors for the sake of monopoly.

In this Dawu Dynasty where force is supreme, it is not surprising that Xiongjia Village, which has a population of several hundred, was destroyed for the sake of purple wheat.

Only when purple wheat is popularized and there is no way to stop it, can some forces give up the idea of ​​monopolizing seeds and monopolizing the benefits.

Watching Xiaoman grab Niu Erbao's neck skin and drag him out like a dead dog, and then Niu Erbao screamed.

Gu Ke said that Niu Erbao should lie in bed for three months, but he didn't say how long he should be beaten, so Xiaoman could only experiment a little bit.

After all, after practicing martial arts, she has never practiced this kind of fighting method with a specified time to lie in bed.

Niu Dazhuang on the side had sweat on his forehead and his legs trembling.

He found that the village girl who dragged his nephew out had the same blood and energy fluctuations as himself when she started fighting, and her every move showed extremely advanced martial arts, which was far more exquisite than his powerful Bull Fist.

If the two really started fighting, he might be beaten up by the village girl like his nephew - there was another person standing behind the old man, who would definitely not delay the uncle and nephew from getting beaten together.

Of course, Niu Dazhuang had never thought about fighting, nor did he dare to think about it.

It is said that the white-bearded old man who chopped off the ghost-faced sunflower demon with one knife was watching him calmly.

Niu Dazhuang was afraid that the old man would say "Drag this one out and beat him, and make him lie in bed for a year" in the next moment.

Who let Wang Erbao take advantage of his power? It is natural that the uncle gets more than the nephew!

Fortunately, Gu Ke looked at him for a moment and finally said, "Where are your goods? If you don't want to buy anything, get out."

Niu Dazhuang was as if he had been pardoned, sweat on his forehead, and nodded repeatedly: "Sir, my goods are still outside, let others come first, others come first."

Gu Ke moved his eyes away from him and put down the small hatchet in his hand: "Next."

Niu Dazhuang shrank against the wall and went out of the door, then he exhaled heavily, and his tightened pores relaxed, and he was sweating all over.

Many villagers around him cast surprised eyes, but he didn't care, just raised his hand to wipe the sweat.

Fuck! Who told me that this old man has a good temper? He had the knife in his hand just now. Village Chief Niu was shocked and frightened.

Just now, if he had any intention of stopping his nephew from being beaten, the hatchet that killed the ghost-faced sunflower demon might have chopped him over.

Village Chief Niu didn't want to die at all, and he didn't want to die without a trace.

After a moment of fear, he came to his senses, turned around, raised his hand and slapped his son behind him: "Are you stupid? Why are you still standing here? Go back and get me something."

Honest son Niu Daqiang was a little confused by the beating, and touched his painful head: "Ah, what to take, father?"

Niu Dazhuang: "...whatever this old immortal wants, we will take it."

Niu Daqiang was surprised: "Really? We can also grow exotic purple wheat?"

He didn't like his cousin, and he was even more disgusted with the proposal to snatch the seeds from the villagers to sell, so he was not afraid of being struck by lightning!

As a result, his cousin was beaten, and Niu Daqiang saw it in his eyes, laughed in his heart, and felt that he deserved it.

Niu Dazhuang:...Is this about purple wheat? I was afraid that I wouldn't come to exchange it, so the old man rushed into the village and chopped me with a knife.

Gu Ke saw this scene from his perception, but he just laughed in his heart, thinking that Niu Dazhuang was not stupid.

It's best not to be stupid, so as not to seek death.

After all, Niu Dazhuang was an entry-level warrior, and it was difficult for the villagers to stop him from going out and spreading the news of wheat seeds.

If he didn't come to trade and was not bound by the trading contract, Gu Ke would not be able to let him go.

The next time was busy and dull. Gu Ke and the other two kept collecting various things sent by the villagers for exchange, but no one dared to make trouble.

Niu Erbao was beaten by Xiaoman and vomited blood. He lay outside the door and moaned weakly, but he didn't dare to be too loud.

Because Xiaoman said that his screams were too ugly and annoying, and if he made trouble again, he would use pig manure to plug his stinky mouth.

With this bloody example, Niu Dazhuang didn't dare to say a word, and went back obediently to get seeds and vegetables and lined up to buy wheat seeds.

Everyone talked less and did more.

Can talking nonsense get one or two more wheat seeds? No.

But digging more mountain plants may be able to get more.

After everyone was familiar with the process, they didn't need to say anything when they came in, just put the things on the counter.

Gu Ke took a glance and waved his hand, and the exchanged purple wheat would appear on the counter. The excess and unsuitable seeds and plants would be picked out and returned by the two little ones.

If you don't want to exchange, just take your things back. If you want to exchange, just press your fingerprints and take away the wheat seeds.

As long as one person from a household has pressed the fingerprint, there is no need to do it again.

This situation is very close to the unmanned vending in modern society - Gu Ke is the two-in-one human code scanner + cash register.

Time passed unconsciously in the busyness, and the projection time was about to reach half an hour.

Gu Ke moved quickly and exchanged a few more taels of wheat seeds for the waiting villagers, and then said to drive them away: "The time has come, our store is closed, please come early next time."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the invisible barrier of the system opened, pushing the people in the stall out, and blocking the villagers who wanted to come in from behind.

Then he came out, took down the lantern from the eaves, and quickly closed the last two door panels.

The next moment, the shadow of the entire stall shook, became blurry, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

In the field outside the village, only a few torches held by the villagers were lit.

Everyone was startled, but the few people who had just switched to wheat seeds touched the purple wheat in the small basket and found that they had not disappeared, and they were relieved.

Later, someone came over, but the roadside stall was nowhere to be found, and they were immediately annoyed: "Ah, why won't this place stay open for a few more days?"

"How many more days do you think about such a good thing as the old god bestowing the alien species?"

"After I pressed my fingerprints, the old god told me in my mind that this matter should not be mentioned to outsiders. If I stay a few more days, people from outside will see him, so why do we need to talk about it?"

"Well, you little bear, why didn't you mention it just now? It caused me to waste more time and change the seeds less often."

"Xiong Sanwa, you idiot, the wheat seeds given by the old god are yours if they are yours. If they are not yours, you cannot take as many as you want. You must be kind."

"It's true. Our village will switch to this wheat seed first and wait until spring sowing. We can harvest a crop in three months. We can also plant a season of winter wheat in September. At most, we will have food and drink next year. How can we be greedy?"

"Hey, labor and management are greedy. They just feel that they are a step too slow to be disrespectful to the old god."

"Hey, I'm sorry you don't dare either."

"Wait a minute, should we set up a magic sign for the old god and ask him to protect us?"

"Hey, that makes sense. Not only did the old god give him wheat seeds, but he was also able to chop up the grimacing sunflower demon with a single blow. He has great magical powers and can definitely protect our Xiongjia Village."

"How about putting the magic tablet in the mountain god cave at the mountain pass? It just happens that the wind can't blow in and the rain can't get in."

"That's Grandpa Mountain God's place. It's not appropriate."

"What's wrong? The old god kills demons and grows wheat. Could it be that Grandpa Mountain God shows up in his true form to protect our village?"

"It seems, it seems to make sense."

"You guys, you guys are asking Grandma Xiong to start a nuo. As long as Grandpa Mountain God doesn't object, if you object... just change the place."

"Yes, yes, of course you have to ask Grandpa Mountain God about such a big matter. You must ask Grandma Xiong."

…

Not to mention that Xiongjia Village is planning to let Shennong guest on the mountain god business, Gu Ke here in the Yulong Valley finally woke up under the influence of the scheduled biological clock.

When he opened his eyes, he felt uncomfortable all over.

He moved his body and fell to the ground.

He ouched several times while lying down, inhaling and exhaling constantly. His hands moved towards his lower back, and he felt a strong soreness in the muscles and bones there.

Gu Ke quickly figured out what was going on.

As soon as the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year arrived, the system's New Year activities asked him to experience the roadside stalls.

He made choices all the way, and the experience began. His body automatically fell down and lay down, and by chance it was hanging sideways on the corner of the bamboo couch.

From the shoulders up to the waist down, everything hung outside the corner of the couch, hanging like an iron bridge all night long.

Although he had a super strong physique, he was not injured, but his back was very uncomfortable.

After lying on the ground for a while, the uncomfortable feeling subsided. Gu Ke stood up with a grin on his face and lay down on the bamboo couch seriously: "System, you have tricked me again. At least give me some time and let me lie down flat."

The system will not respond.

Gu Ke could only tell himself that he must lie down evenly before starting the next experience.

Immediately, he slapped his forehead and said: "I think too much. There is only one Spring Festival in a year, do you still expect the stingy system baby to receive benefits every day?"

I got up and went to the small hut. Chun Xia Qiudong and Salan Zhu, who slept here last night, had woken up and were about to return to the workshop to wash up and tidy up.

Gu Ke just said hello to them, then went in to sign in on the calendar before starting to wash up.

Just after washing up, Bai Suqing came over with her two children.

The expressions of the two children were a bit subtle, both excited and self-sufficient, which made Bai Suqing stare at them several times.

After the two children went to wash up, Bai Suqing looked at Gu Ke: "What did you do with them again? They looked so weird when they woke up early in the morning."

Gu Ke smiled and shook his head: "There's no rush for now. I'll talk to you in detail after breakfast."

Bai Suqing knew something was good as soon as she saw it, so she wasn't angry, but she went to heat up the leftover multigrain porridge from last night.

Obviously, she was not angry but impatient.

The four of them each ate two bowls of multigrain porridge, and then went to the warehouse under the leadership of Gu Ke.

After entering the door, Bai Suqing noticed something unusual just by scanning her eyes. She suddenly appeared next to the middle shelf and reached out to look through the pile of scattered new seeds and plants.

Then she turned to look at Gu Ke who was following her: "Where did you get these?"

Gu Ke shook his head: "Just like these houses and fields, they are New Year gifts from God."

Bai Suqing stared at him for a moment, then looked at the two excited little girls over there: "Can't you tell me more about these?"

Gu Ke gestured, and the two walked out of the warehouse and stood beside the stone platform. In front of them was a purple bamboo forest full of purple, and there were some tender green bean sprouts emerging from the ground.

After a moment of hesitation, Gu Ke spoke: "Sister Bai, if I say that these things are not hidden from you for no reason, do you believe it?"

Bai Suqing hesitated and did not answer immediately.

Both of them are very suspicious people. With preconceived ideas, the more they say, the more mistakes they make. It is better not to say anything.

In that way, although the problem exists, it will not be magnified, and everyone can get along peacefully.

If you still can't get over it after talking about it, then you really can't get over it.

After a while, she slowly nodded: "I am the same, so I can't blame you."

Gu Ke was relieved when he heard it.

He concealed something, and so did she.

This has nothing to do with trust, but each has his own experience.

Like her past, she was hunted down and her family was exterminated, and then she was arrested and her chakra was destroyed. She didn't want to mention it to others.

She just didn't want to be sympathized with or talked about.

Other people's talk and sympathy are useless, and will only make her uncomfortable, so why bother talking about it.

Similarly, it is normal for Gu Ke to have things that are inconvenient to tell her, and there is no need to worry about it.

Gu Ke nodded slowly: "Then Sister Bai, where do you want to go in the future?"

Bai Suqing murmured: "Where to go."

Gu Ke: "When you become a martial master and can leave this place, there will be a vast sea and sky outside, and you can travel freely between heaven and earth. Do you still want to stay here?"

Bai Suqing frowned, did not respond immediately, but seriously considered this possibility.

After half a cup of tea, she asked faintly: "What if I want to leave?"

Gu Ke did not speak, and directly spent 10 units of soul source to create a friend contract, and chose Bai Suqing as the target.

Feeling the contract suddenly appearing in her consciousness, her eyes were blank for a moment, and she understood the effect of this contract.

But she did not rush to sign it, but looked at Gu Ke: "If you sign this, I will know the secrets you hide?"

Gu Ke sighed and shook his head: "As the saying goes, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Since we are friends, we should naturally allow each other to keep privacy and secrets."

"That's right." Bai Suqing nodded calmly, still did not sign the friend contract, and fell into silence and thinking again.

After another half a cup of tea, she finally said: "What if I want to stay here for a long time, but want to go out occasionally?"

Gu Ke smiled, and as soon as he thought about it, a labor contract appeared in her consciousness, but the friend contract did not disappear.

The two were placed side by side, allowing her to watch and compare.

Just a moment, Bai Suqing's face showed a look of realization, looking at Gu Ke: "If you sign this labor contract, you and I will advance and retreat together in honor and disgrace?"
