It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 18

"I have magic, I can invite Tianlei!"

In the early morning, when the mountain fog began to rise, and the sun was not yet bright, Cheng Dalei pointed at the canyon like swords.

Everyone's heart was instantly energized, and their eyes followed Cheng Dalei's finger, only to see the wind blowing and grass moving, the mountains and rocks silent, and there was no movement.

Suspicious eyes fell on Cheng Dalei, wondering what this kid was doing.

"Can I invite Tianlei..." Cheng Dalei swayed his fingers in the air, thinking in his heart: hurry up, didn't Lin Shaoyu hear him.

"Ray..."

Cheng Dalei's voice was about to become hoarse, and he felt a little hairy in his heart. He had already planned to deal with this in advance, letting Lin Shaoyu ambush in the valley and ignite the last box of explosives. Otherwise, Cheng Dalei didn't know how to get out.

"This kid is pretending to be a ghost, let me kill him!" the bandit shouted.

A group of bandits were riding on horses, while others were standing on the ground with weapons, and mocking smiles gradually appeared on their faces.

"thunder!"

The sound landed, and suddenly there was a loud noise in the direction of the canyon. The rumbling was like thunder, and black smoke and dust rose from the white morning mist.

In an instant, the smiles on everyone's faces stopped, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes when they looked at Cheng Dalei. Cheng Dalei sat on the horse and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, does anyone want to taste my Five Thunder Heaven Technique!"

Swish!

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air and took a step back subconsciously, only to feel that there was an invisible aura around Cheng Dalei, which made people dare not approach.

Most people in this era are superstitious and attribute many unknown things to gods and ghosts, which is exactly what the saying goes: where civilization has not yet arrived, ignorance will call itself civilization. In an era when burning some yellow paper and throwing it in a well, it can be called holy water and gather tens of thousands of believers. Cheng Dalei's performance has been quite wonderful.

Now all the bandits think in their minds, it turns out that this person is relying on the five thunder gods to block a thousand soldiers, no wonder, if the thunder hits me this day, I can't hold it.

Cheng Dalei glanced around with his eyes looking in all directions, and gently urged his seat to dismount and move forward, and the bandits surrounding them automatically separated a path. Cheng Dalei's fingers kept pointing "lei Lei Lei", and the people he pointed to were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and some people even fell directly from their horses.

Xu Linger, Xu Shenji, and Qin Man followed behind Cheng Dalei with their horses. Eighty-odd horses were ready for war, which made everyone drool on the ground, but there was no one who dared to grab it.

Cheng Dalei held his head high, the axe was on his shoulders, and he didn't look sideways. But as soon as he got closer, he knew that his back was already wet. If there was a smart person among the bandits, he would be dead if his trick was revealed.

"Wait a minute." Gao Feihu suddenly shouted.

Cheng Dalei was jolted, turned his head slowly, looked at the other party with cold eyes, but his heart was pounding and was about to jump out.

"With so many horses, can you afford to raise them in Toad Village?" Gao Feihu.

"You can't afford to raise me to make bacon, you can handle it."

...

Before leaving, Cheng Dalei said a cruel word, but the fact is that he may really not be able to support him.

This time, Toad Village may have harvested a lot. When he counted the spoils, he found that there were 50 long spears, 10 sets of armor, 9 pairs of big bows, several bows and arrows, 30 iron knives, and 81 war horses.

Even Su Ying was amazed at their gains. Every time she thought that Cheng Dalei could stop a thousand elite soldiers with the strength of five people, she thought it was incredible.

However, after three days, the problem is exposed, and the problem lies in these horses. Every horse needs at least ten catties of straw every day, because it is a war horse and needs to be carefully fed. In addition to straw, it also needs refined grains such as soybeans. Eighty-one horses, 800 catties of grain per day, and how much grain is currently owned by Toad Village?

zero.

For the past three days, Cheng Dalei's life was miserable. The horses neighed like a ghost, making Cheng Dalei unable to eat and sleep well.

"Big boss, big boss..."

Xu Shenji came over with a sickle: "Don't be lazy, big boss, we have to hurry up and harvest the wheat. If it rains heavily, this year's harvest will all be lost."

By the way, besides the horses, harvesting wheat is also a hassle. A total of ten acres of wheat fields need to be harvested manually. Large pieces of wheat are cut down, tied into bundles, pulled back to the cottage, and crushed into wheat grains with a roller.

It's a summer, the sun is like a poisonous fire, staring at the sun and hunched over... It's quite sentimental to do this kind of thing once in a while, but when it's really a job, Cheng Dalei understands how to write the words miserable .

Qin Man, Xu Linger, and Xu Shenji did not feel tired, and they were even immersed in an inexplicable happy atmosphere. The most unbearable are Cheng Dalei and Lin Shaoyu.

"Think of my generation of heroes, actually doing such a thing..."

Lin Shaoyu said something like this every time he waved his sickle. Cheng Dalei originally wanted to fool him with words like "Heaven's responsibility is for the people", but when he thought about himself, he gave up.

"I suddenly have a stomachache, and I have no strength at all..." Cheng Dalei covered his stomach.

"Forget it, you used that reason yesterday."

"That headache..."

"This is the reason for the day before yesterday." Xu Shenji said: "Master, don't be lazy. When the wheat is exposed to the sun, it will shatter when you touch it. We will have to delay a lot of harvest this year."

"This...ha...I suddenly remembered that I haven't robbed for several days, so I can't delay serious work." Cheng Dalei picked up the big axe and ran down the mountain like a fly.

"Why do you go to the boss..." Lin Shaoyu stuck his head out of the room: "Are you robbery, take me one, take me one."

Seeing the two of them running without a shadow in an instant, Xu Shenji raised his scythe in depression and walked towards the wheat field in the back mountain.

...

Li Gouyu is a native of Lijiazhuang near Qingniu Mountain. His family has several mu of thin fields. The most worrying thing on weekdays is that there are three sons in the family: Li Da, Li Er, and Li San. The eldest of the three sons is twenty and the youngest is sixteen. It seems that they are all at the age of marriage, but because the family is too poor, there is no one who says they are relatives.

"Father, there are bandits around here?" Li Da.

"You're afraid of bandits, so don't be afraid of not being able to marry a wife. When the firewood is fired today, I'll buy a donkey for you, and I'll say that your wife will be more confident. You didn't always want a horse, so now I'll take advantage of your heart."

"This... a horse and a donkey are different."

"What's the difference..."

"Bah!"

Suddenly two people jumped out of the grass, one was handsome with a white robe and an iron spear, and the other was carrying a big axe with a weird smile on his face.

"Grandpa, spare your life, Grandpa, spare your life..." Li Gou left, his father and son were so frightened that they all fell to their knees on the ground.

"Stand up and kneel."

The one carrying the axe shouted, and Li Gouzu raised his head timidly, only to see a constipated smile on his face.

"I heard from you just now that you want to buy a horse?"
