Lord of Puluo

That night, ten young men followed Li Banfeng and Ma Wu to Xindi.

Along the way, ten people carried ten sacks of smelly fish.

This is the dead fish that Li Banfeng bought from the market last night. It was tied up in a bag and left in the sun. After being suffocated for a day, it smelled out for more than ten meters in the wind.

It was not an easy journey for the ten young men. One big man with dark skin walked less than two miles and his face turned white from the smoke.

"Are these two going to Xindi to fish for peaches? Otherwise, why would they bring such smelly fish?"

Another handsome young man in blue nodded and said: "Looking at the season, they should be fishing for peaches, but they can't do this job, and they can't make any money at all!"

A skinny young man wearing yellow cedar said: "You don't care whether they make money or not, as long as we make money, we will agree on the price with them later. Picking peaches must be based on the going price, otherwise we won't do it."

Tuyu peach, one of the most common prey in the new land of Lanyang Village.

Ma Wu really wanted to take them fishing for peaches on this trip.

Everyone walked to the southernmost part of the village. There were no houses here, and a few tents could be seen occasionally.

Many people don't even have tents and just make bunks on the ground.

It's hard to say what will come out of the new land. If you sleep well tonight, by the next morning, there may not even be any corpses left.

These people have basically lost hope of survival. Those who stutter are lucky enough to live next to the new land because there is really no other place to sleep, not even under the bridge.

Everyone left the village and entered a forest.

There was nothing special about this forest, except that the branches and leaves were more lush. Everyone walked to the center of the forest. Under the command of Ma Wu, five young men opened ten sacks of smelly fish and placed them on the ground.

Twelve people took their positions, ten young men guarded the upwind slope, and Li Banfeng and Ma Wu guarded the downwind slope.

Ma Wu kept comforting Li Banfeng: "Brother Li, this peach tree must have come from the leeward slope. We have to keep an eye on it here to give them orders later."

Li Banfeng's face turned pale and he said, "Stop talking, or you'll vomit if you talk again."

"Brother Li, it's not that bad, I smell okay!"

"If you talk again, I'll spit on you."

It's not that Li Banfeng is being pretentious. He has a special sense of smell and is downwind. The smell of smelly fish fills his nostrils and is about to kill Li Banfeng.

At 4:30 in the morning, as it was almost dawn, there was finally movement in the woods.

squeak~quack~

Something was moving through the trees.

Li Banfeng quietly put on the earrings and activated the skill of discerning spiritual sounds, hoping to hear the other party's voice.

squeak~

A sharp cry caused severe pain in Li Banfeng's eardrums. When he calmed down, Li Banfeng heard the roar beneath the sharp cry.

"Smells, really smells~"

fragrant?

Li Banfeng really wanted to have a good discussion with the other party.

Brush~

The leaves rustled.

Ma Wu reminded everyone to be prepared.

A jade peach tree was approaching them, and Li Banfeng could vaguely smell the aroma of peach blossoms amidst the stench.

Hey hey~

The sound of tree bark being rubbed was endless, and a "giant python" with a diameter of more than one meter was slowly swimming under the tree.

If it were my first time to visit the new land of Lanyang Village and see such a thick python, I would be frightened.

But many of these young men have done peach fishing, and they know that this is not a python, but the root of a jade peach tree.

This root seems to be the nose of the peach tree, searching for smells everywhere.

When passing Li Banfeng, there was no reaction from the tree roots, and the house repairs on the second floor were automatically ignored.

When passing Ma Wu, the tree roots reacted.

It climbed up the branch and came to Ma Wu. Its fine roots slowly grew on Ma Wu.

Ma Wu's face was sweating.

He was very scared. Although he had experience fishing for peaches, having experience did not mean that accidents would not happen.

The Tuyu Peach Tree is a tree, not very intelligent, but its combat power is not low. If the roots entangle Ma Wu, a Huanxiu who has not reached a higher level will be an appetizer to the Peach Tree.

After waiting for a while, the roots no longer entangled Ma Wu and ran towards the smelly fish under the tree.

Taoshu knew that there was someone nearby, but the attraction of this person could not be compared with the smelly fish.

The thick roots plunged into the pile of smelly fish, sucking crazily.

The peach tree's cry kept coming from the string earrings: "Smells, it smells so good!"

Not long after, a few more roots penetrated into the pile of smelly fish, and the pile of smelly fish became shorter at a visible speed.

Seeing that the time was right, Ma Wu led everyone to follow the roots and found the peach tree hidden nearby.

This peach tree is big enough for three people to hug each other, and a wooden house can be easily built on the huge canopy.

Under the tree, there is an exposed root system. The dense roots extend beyond the sight of normal people.

This tree has just arrived in this forest.

Li Banfeng was curious, how should such a big tree move in such a lush forest?

Now is not the time to think about this, everyone is very pressed for time.

Twelve people, each carrying a cloth bag, jumped on the peach tree as quickly as possible while the peach tree was eating the smelly fish.

Above the tree crown and under the peach leaves, fist-sized Tuyu peaches are their targets.

The peach tree suddenly trembled a few times, as if a person suddenly had a few fleas on his body and felt a little uncomfortable.

Two young men almost fell under the tree and were pulled up by Li Banfeng and Ma Wu.

When fishing for peaches, the more hands, the better. Not only is the efficiency of picking peaches high. And they also take care of each other.

You must not fall down and fall among the roots. A living person will be eaten in a blink of an eye, leaving no bones left.

The peach tree quickly calmed down, ignored the fleas on its body, and concentrated on eating the smelly fish.

Now is the best time to pick peaches, so move quickly. How many peaches can be picked before the peach trees eat all the fish depends on their ability.

Li Banfeng was the fastest, not only with his hands, but also with his feet. The traveling cultivator could move freely between the branches. In a short time, he picked two bags full of peaches.

Others don't move so fast. They have to be careful every time they pick a peach. If they are unsteady on their feet, they have to rely on the people around them to hold them up and give them a tug.

Everyone barely picked up a bag, and more than 70% of the pile of smelly fish had been eaten by the peach trees.

Ma Wu glanced at Stinky Fish and shouted: "Retreat!"

Everyone packed their bags and quickly left the peach tree.

It'll be too late if you don't leave.

Tuyutao has a very mixed diet. It loves smelly fish the most, but it doesn't mind eating other things.

Everyone left the woods at a very fast speed. Halfway there, Li Banfeng stood on the treetop and glanced at the location of the peach tree.

The peach tree disappeared, I don’t know how, it was as if it had never been there.

Was this peach tree cultivated or cultivated by oneself?

This matter is unknown.

The hunting ended tonight, and they were lucky enough to encounter a Tuyu peach tree.

What if you can't meet it?

Then even if this trip was in vain, the hired workers have to be paid, and the smelly fish can barely stay until tomorrow night, and this business trip is considered a loss.

Everyone returned to Lanyang Village and met a breakfast vendor while walking on the road. Ma Wu bought fried dough sticks and fried cakes and distributed them to everyone.

Seeing Ma Wu and others leaving, the breakfast seller quickly closed the stall and sent a message to Tang Tianjin, the chief steward of the Song family.

After Tang Tianjin received the news, he immediately told the head of the Song family - Song Jiasen.

Buying breakfast is such a big deal, do you have to tell the owner of the house?

Being early is not a big deal, the focus is on the peach.

"Master, the fifth young master of the Ma family has taken people to hunt in a new land."

In Lanyang Village, hunting is one of the most important sources of income for the villagers.

Lanyang Village is the territory of the Song family. If you go hunting in the new land, you must greet the Song family in advance, and the hunting items must be shipped to the Song family.

Ma Wu went hunting without saying hello to the Song family. This was considered an offense to the Song family.

Song Jiasen took a sip of tea, ate some snacks, and asked, "What did he hunt?"

"Tu Yutao hired ten people and brought back more than a dozen bags of fish."

Song Jiasen pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly and said, "What is he doing hunting peaches? This business is not something he can do. He can't make any money."

The housekeeper said: "Master, we don't care whether he makes money or not, but what he did was unethical. He went to pick peaches without saying hello to us. He didn't take us seriously."

Song Jiasen laughed and said: "A few days ago, Ma Junyang had no money to pay rent and lived in a shack. In the past few days, he got some money from somewhere and moved into a small building.

This rich young man just can't bear the hardship. The place he lives in is good, but if he pays the rent, he may not be able to survive anymore.

Let him take these peaches away. When he comes to us to ship the goods, we will pay him the going price. He knows that there is no money to be made in this matter, so he will not do it again in the future. "

"Master, the Ma family has many connections in the city. Although Ma Wu was kicked out of the house, the foundation has not been completely broken. What should we do if he doesn't ask us to ship the goods?"

Song Jiasen picked up the tea bowl, took another sip, and said calmly: "Then we can't tolerate him. If he doesn't ask us to ship the goods, he won't even be able to bring a single peach out of Lanyang Village."

…

Ma Wu led everyone back to his residence, each carrying a bag and weighing them one by one.

Ma Wu pays one hundred yuan for a pound of peaches. This is the going rate for picking peaches in the new land of Lanyang Village.

Someone was quick and picked fifty kilograms and received five thousand yuan.

Someone was slow and picked ten kilograms and got a thousand yuan.

More than a dozen bags of peaches, totaling more than 380 kilograms, were given out for a total of more than 30,000 yuan, excluding Li Banfeng and Ma Wu.

What are these peaches used for?

The pulp of Tuyu peach is an auxiliary material for alchemy, and the peach core is a good medicinal material.

How much can these peaches cost?

According to the purchase price of the Song family, it is one hundred yuan per catty.

This thing is funny. I charge 100 yuan per catty and sell it for 100 yuan per catty. I didn’t make any money in this business.

Not only did I not make any money, I also lost money.

It costs money to buy smelly fish!

In Lanyang Village, the only people who make money by picking peaches are the Song family, because they sell the peaches in the city for 500 yuan per pound, a huge profit of five times.

But can Ma Wu take Tao Zi out?

cannot.

It was impossible for the Song family to watch Ma Wu carrying more than a dozen bags of peaches out of the village. This would be equivalent to cutting off the Song family's financial resources and slapping the Song family in the face.

So what's Ma Wu's purpose in doing this business?

The handsome young man in blue asked, "Boss, don't you want to sell peaches to the Song family again? Let me remind you, you won't make any money from this."

Ma Wu smiled and said: "Boss Song is my friend. You guys can't make money, but I am different."

The young man didn't dare to ask any more questions, and everyone took the money and left.

There were only two people left in the wooden house, Li Banfeng fetching water and Ma Wu soaking peaches.

After soaking for more than an hour, seven to eight hundred worms floated on the water.

Tuyu peaches have a high sugar content and can easily attract insects.

Ma Wu selected more than fifty spotted caterpillars from among seven to eight hundred insects and handed them to Li Banfeng.

"This bug is called tiger head louse. Brother Li, be sure to keep it safe."

Li Banfeng collected the caterpillars and went to the market to buy fish.

Ma Wu took the peach and went to the Song family to ship it.

PS: Ban Feng has the exquisite skill of Baiwei, and the lethality of smelly fish is really great.
