Chapter 10 Quadruple Power
Beside the thatched hut, the earthen pots placed on the stove were steaming "Gurgling" and "Gurgling".
A strong herbal smell floated in the courtyard.
Zhang Yuan, who was standing in front of the stove, saw that the cooking heat was almost done. He reached out and grabbed the ear of the jar, lifted it up, and poured the dark concoction in the jar into the bowl next to it.
Then sent to Zhang Mu’s room.
"Mom, you need to drink this medicine while it's hot. Let it sit for a while and then cool it down."
He blew on the hot medicine and put it on the small table next to the bed.
This is the herbal medicine Zhang Yuan bought specifically for his mother from the county drug store.
Due to overwork, Zhang’s mother suffered severe physical losses, resulting in long-term weakness and illness.
Although I have asked doctors to prescribe prescriptions before, I never had enough money to buy expensive medicinal materials, so I just put it off.
Fortunately, it didn't turn into a serious illness.
Now that Zhang Yuan has received an unexpected fortune, of course he must find ways to restore his mother's health.
Mother Zhang sat on the bed and showed a faint smile: "Yuan baby, my mother's body can still support me. If you have money, you should save some money and buy more rice."
Zhang Yuan has eaten a lot since he was a kid, but he hasn't had enough food in more than ten years.
Finally, Zhang Yuan was able to support the family by himself, but suddenly a Mr. Chen came to the village. He had to recruit soldiers and build temples, and he raped the bones and sucked out the marrow of people with foreign surnames.
These days are going to be difficult again.
Although Zhang's mother didn't know where Zhang Yuan got the silver for serving and buying medicine.
But she instinctively wanted to save for her son.
“I also bought rice, grain, oil and salt.”
Zhang Yuan explained: “Don’t worry, my child has found a way to make money, and he will be full in the future!”
There was a trace of sadness in his heart.
It has been five years since the memories of his previous life were awakened, and it was only now that he solved the problem of food and clothing.
It’s also helpless.
“Yuan Wa’er!”
Mother Zhang suddenly straightened up and held Zhang Yuan’s wrist tightly.
Her eyes were full of nervousness and solemnity, and she said in a deep voice: "Do you still remember the ancestral precepts of our Zhang family?"
"Of course you do!"
Zhang Yuan was categorical. : "Don't steal if you die of hunger, don't be a slave if you die of poverty, this is the ancestral motto of the Zhang family. The children have always kept it in mind."
He gently patted his mother's skinny hand and said softly: "I have never committed any crime!"
Seeing Zhang Yuan's resolute attitude, Zhang's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. , couldn't help but raise her hand and touch his face: "My child, you have been really suffering these years."
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "It's not very hard."
He picked up the medicine bowl on the small table and blew on it a few more times, then handed it to his mother: "It should be almost done, please be careful when scalding it."
“Yes.”
Mother Zhang took the medicine bowl and drank the liquid in the bowl one sip at a time.
The herbs taste very bitter.
But she didn't notice it at all, instead it was like drinking honey.
After drinking the medicine, Mrs. Zhang quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep leaning against the head of the bed.
Zhang Yuan carefully helped his mother lie down, and then quietly left the room.
As a result, as soon as he came to the small courtyard outside, he heard a noise coming from outside the door - someone was coming!
Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed and he immediately opened the door and went out.
I saw Master Zhangtou coming to the door with two servants, and almost bumped into him.
“Hmph!”
Master Zhangtou paused and snorted coldly, and asked with a smile: “Zhang Yuan, the three-day period has come, you are ready to serve. Have you got all the money?"
He looked at Zhang Yuan with a sinister look, as if a poisonous snake was staring at its prey.
Chilling!
Zhang Yuan replied calmly: "All."
He turned around and went to his room to get a cloth bag, then returned to the door and handed it to the other person: "Please order some."
Master Zhangtou took the money bag and weighed it in surprise, then poured out all the money in it and counted it. He obviously didn't expect that Zhang Yuan actually scraped together five taels of silver.
Master Zhangtou seemed to have gotten to know Zhang Yuan again, and said angrily: "You know the truth."
He winked at the servant next to him: "Let's go!"
"Wait!"
Zhang Yuan suddenly stopped him.
Master Zhangtou suddenly changed his expression, and the two servants looked fiercely at the same time.
Zhang Yuan seemed unaware and asked in a deep voice: "Master, did you forget to give me the receipt?"
Without a receipt, who can prove that he has paid the service fee in full?
There are no neighbors to testify!
Master Zhangtou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Look at my memory!"
He took the pen and paper brought by the servant and quickly wrote a note to Zhang Yuan. It was stamped with a seal.
It seems very formal.
Zhang Yuan took the receipt and watched the group of hyenas walk away.
He knew very well that if the other party was cheating, then this receipt would be just like waste paper.
It’s just that Master Zhangtou obviously has no intention of causing further trouble. It is probably because yesterday’s collision incident made him fearful and he did not dare to go too far in the village.
This difficulty has been overcome.
But only temporarily!
Zhang Yuan stared at the retreating figure of Master Zhangtou, with a fierce murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Master Zhangtou didn't know that he had been included in Zhang Yuan's must-kill list. After walking a certain distance, he said coldly: "I didn't expect this kid to be quite famous. He was able to come up with five taels of silver."
The man next to him. The servant said: "I heard from the villagers that he went to the county town this morning to sell off Zhang's dowry jewelry." There is oil and water, don’t worry, let’s work it out slowly.”
Both servants showed knowing smiles.
In their view, Zhang Yuan was a piece of fish on the chopping board. Sooner or later, he would be eaten dry and wiped clean, leaving no bones or residue.
Everyone admires Master Zhangtou’s methods very much.
There is no way we can fight against a bunch of idiots!
The three of them rushed to the next house.
No matter how weird or scary it is, as long as you can't enter the village, there's nothing to be afraid of.
It would be terrible to fail to complete the master’s task!
Zhang Yuan, standing at the door of his home, heard pleading and crying coming from not far away.
That was another villager family who was also included in the conscription list.
He closed the door expressionlessly.
Zhang Yuan clenched his fists.
The desire to become stronger has never been so strong and raging as this moment!
He opened the God's Nest panel.
[Host: Zhang Yuan]
[God's Nest: Level 1 (15%)]
[Host: Level 2 black giant ant (6%)/4 times the power]
[Qi and blood: 72/75]
[Essence: 0]
The first host of the God's Nest, the black giant ant, has been upgraded!
Relying on all the source of energy invested previously, it evolved from level 1 to level 2, and its natural ability became four times as powerful!
Zhang Yuan's own strength is not small, the limit can reach more than two hundred kilograms. Originally, with the blessing of the level 1 black giant ant ability, he was able to explode four to five hundred kilograms of power.
This was the key reason why he killed Sun Huyuan, a powerful warrior.
And now with the upgrade of the black giant ant, Zhang Yuan's explosive power can reach eight, nine hundred or even nearly one thousand kilograms.
Probably stronger than a first-level Mingjin warrior, right?
Zhang Yuan is temporarily unable to measure.
But his confidence suddenly improved!
