Chapter 3: Eating is not a sin

During these five years, Yun Duo occasionally showed up in the town to maintain his presence, but he never stayed in the town. At first, the people in the town knew that he was not swallowed by monsters, and the people in the town were shocked by the child's ability to survive.

They really want to know the secret that Yun Duo can survive, because being able to survive in the jungle of monsters means more prey.

But Yun Duo is really hard to block - even if it is blocked, Yun Duo is always taciturn.

As for the other children of the Yun family, maybe it was due to their survival instinct. If they leaked the secret of the meal, they might really starve to death. Therefore, even Yun Duo's youngest brother, Xiaogen, who was only three years old at the time, consciously closed his mouth and pretended to be childish when he asked questions.

As for the two adults in the family... Yun Duo was not very polite to his parents. As an adult with physical strength and ability, he lived his life like this and caused his children to fall into long-term hunger. This is not a saying that weakness and incompetence can conceal the past.

The Yun family has a heavy workload. Yun's eldest son Yun's second son is now in a semi-independent state. They ignore the right and wrong in the Yun family courtyard. There are many men in this family, and Yun Taichong, who is old and weak, dare not be too forced. The children born to Yun Taichong's third wife are relatively grouped together. Now the fourth stepwife, Grandma Yun's fourth son, is only concerned about the son and daughter she gave birth to: Yun Yue, the second generation of the Yun family, and Yun Jiaojiao.

As a result, most of the work in the Yun family courtyard was undertaken by the third family of Yun's family. Among them, Yunduo's three sisters almost took on most of the work of washing and washing clothes after sweeping the floor and washing clothes. They also went to the forest to pick pig grass by the river every day, collecting herbs, etc.... Of course, they would not be too far from the village.

The culture of this planet is similar to that of Yun Duo’s original memory, and even the text is very close. Although Jieyang Town is called a town, there are only a small amount of farmland outside the town, and the grain is basically imported from the outside world.

Due to the activities of ordinary people in the town, there are few wild animals that are close to the ten kilometers around Jieyang Town... Of course, once there are wild animals, they must be large carnivores.

In the seat belt that surrounds the town ten kilometers, there are two special medicinal herbs growing. One is something like parasitism. It is said that a bug parasitizes in a special shrub and forms something between animals and plants, similar to Cordyceps sinensis. This thing is called "Yangshen Grass".

In addition, a kind of blue berries grows in the surrounding forests of ten miles. These two kinds of specialties are the secret of the prosperity of Jieyang Town. Local residents mainly rely on collecting two specialty plants for a living. It is said that the former is an important medicinal material, while the latter is a delicious sweet food. It is said that its taste is wonderful and can be ranked among the top ten in the world's delicacies.

The fruits of these two plants are not difficult to collect. They both grow very quickly. In the three seasons of spring, autumn and summer, when the moon is full every month, these two fruits ripen on a large scale. Starting from the 16th of each month, the town entered a collection period that lasted for a whole month.

When the moon is full next month, the two fruits can spread on the branches. Their only disadvantage is that the fruits are not big and often hidden under the branches and leaves. It requires a large number of people to search and collect all over the mountains.

There are more than 80 households in Jieyang Town, with a population of about 1,000. Surrounding Jieyang Town, there are ten kilometers of seat belts with an area of ​​more than 100 square kilometers, which is enough for more than 1,000 people to collect. The labor of this kind of collection is relatively not high, both men and women can do it.

Therefore, whenever the sun rises, a large number of people will surge out to the surrounding forests. Among them, males are responsible for holding weapons to warn wild animals to attack, while women are the main labor force collected. Among them, each household has a fixed collection location, which is divided by households, regardless of population.

Since it is agricultural production, it naturally involves fertilization and weeding and other work, so the male student is also responsible for some heavy physical labor. During this period, Yun's eldest son, Yun's second son, often occupied a piece of forest to do his own work, while the rest of the Yun family basically did not leave the town because of the danger in the forest. They were responsible for the collection processing and processing at home...

It’s no wonder that the Yun Lao San’s family stole food for many years, but the Yun family’s courtyard knew nothing.

Every time the collection is concentrated, the families in the town with many male children are often surrounded by a large and very rich forest area. Others have rich forest yields, so they even come to occupy it. Therefore, the number of male children is often rich, but the situation of the Yun family is different.

When I went out to collect the Yun family, Yun Lao Lao Lao, a mother-born eldest son, was strong, not to mention Yun Taichong's third wife, and the child he gave birth to was only responsible for drying and other post-production at home. This is also a technical job. Yun Taichong only taught Yun Lao Si, Yun Lao Wu, Yun Lao Liu, and Yun Lao Qi and Yun Yue, because he was too young to learn.

Therefore, no matter how strong the boss Yun Lao Er is, he can only obey Yun Taichong's arrangements, because without post-production, the collected things cannot be stored and cannot be sold at any price.

For the poor at the bottom, no matter how high the price of "Yangshencao" blue berries are sold outside, there is actually not much profit left in their hands.

Jieyang Town is a small town in the forest. In order to prevent monster attacks... Of course, in order to make the beast tide occur, the town can issue a timely alarm to give the rear time to prepare and retreat, because, in small towns like this, there are usually three to four monks to protect. The residents of the town do not pay taxes to the government, but they have to bear the living expenses of several guardian immortal masters in the town - a town without the protection of the immortal masters will basically not survive.

The three great immortal masters Zhao Luo and Li in Jieyang Town collect certain collections from each household every month. The amount of collection is actually not high. It is said that the exchange fee is mainly used to maintain their practice.

At a rough look, it seems that the taxes borne by the residents of the town are not high, and the pressure of life should be very light. But it cannot withstand another rule of exploitation - the government stipulates that the things collected by the residents of the town can only be handed over to the local immortal masters and resold by the local immortal masters. Especially those treasures involving the genius of cultivation and materials on the monsters.

To this end, the government stipulated a strict household registration management system. If someone wants to leave the town and try to enter towns near the forest to make a living, if there is no entry and exit certificate issued by the local immortal master, the yamen and the constables will not explain and will directly kill them - and this is also the reason why Yun Duo cannot leave the town.

The existence of these towns was originally intended to warn when the beast tide came, so that there was plenty of time for evacuation in the rear. What if the residents of the town find something wrong and don’t even issue a warning and run away?

Therefore, the government controlled the movement of town residents through the town guarding the immortal masters. The immortal masters practiced meditation all day and did not have so much time to manage the specific world. They controlled the town residents through their own fairy servants' practices and parents of each household.

In this way, although Boss Yun and the second brother of Yun were powerful, the money they collected, even if they handed over to the immortal master himself, would be directly handed over to the head of the family Yun Taichong. At the same time, only Yun Taichong had the right to buy and sell grain on behalf of the entire family.

Jieyang Town is surrounded by the river. There are more than 300 acres of farmland by the river, but the harvested grain is far from enough for the daily consumption of the town residents, and the grain in the town depends entirely on input.

Therefore, even though Yun Taichong is old and weak, and often stays in the compound without working, he can still firmly control the financial power of this family. As for the collection tasks of each company... he said that whoever allocates the amount of quota, whoever has to pay the corresponding pounds, otherwise there will be no food to eat.

Now the Yun family has seven sons and four daughters in the second generation, among which women are not ranked. The only ones who go out to work in the family are Yun Laoda, Yun Laoer and Yun Lao3, and the others basically don’t leave the town.

Boss Yun and Boss Yun are in a group. There are many adult males at home. Even if they have heavy tasks, they can complete the tasks no matter what. Of course, due to various exploitation policies, they can only have food and clothing, so they generally do not be kind-hearted and occasionally help Boss Yun, but often do things like putting in trouble and fanning the flames and gloating.

Therefore, the third family of Yun Laos often failed to complete the collection amount, and hunger became the regular meal for this family. In order to exchange for food and clothing, they had to stay in the mountains for longer, search and collect for longer.

Every time they go out to collect, each male student has to defend a large area of ​​defense. They not only have to deal with the harassment of monsters from time to time, but also have to observe the situation of nearby sentry positions at any time and do some heavy physical work. Therefore, the sentry's task is not easy. They are often in danger of life, and the number of male students in the hands of wild beasts every year is quite large.

Every time Yunduo secretly delivers food to his family, it is closely cooperated by several sisters. Several sisters try to shift their father's attention elsewhere, and then Yunduo sneaks over the cordon. Then, the sisters bring Yunduo some daily necessities to communicate about the changes in the town, while Yunduo brings some food and the specialties in the forest he collected.

As for helping the sisters complete the collection task... Yun Duo is not that idle.

Because this task will never be completed, with only three sons working for seven sons. As long as Yun Laosan shows that he still has enough energy to do his job, the task standards will be immediately improved and there will never be an end.

Because, who doesn't want to live a more comfortable life?

Yun Duo eventually stepped into the town frequently because of the specialties in the forest he collected. Of course, the most important thing was that he needed to learn.

Because of the town's unique specialty control regulations, the things the sisters brought back could not be sold to the third brother Yun. So Yun Duo had to come forward and trade with the immortal masters...

After careful calculation, Yun Duo has lived in this jungle for five years. In the last three of the five years, he spent a little shorter time in the forest. In any case, at first, he was able to go deep into such a far distance, and he was not swallowed by wild beasts for five consecutive years. The reason for this is not just that the word luck can be said... However, that is another story.

Yun Duo climbed up the tree house with great effort and carefully put away the rope ladder. After the rope ladder returned to its position, there were no wild beasts that could threaten the tree house except for large snakes. As for snakes, Yun Duo was not afraid even if the snakes came, and he still had a backup method.

When he walked to a bay window, Yun Duo observed the beehive outside the bay window. At this time, the bees basically returned to their nests. The bees who had been tired all day seemed lazy and itchy. In addition to the beehive entrance, there were several alert bees flying. Most of the bees had already entered a sleep state, which made the buzzing sound of the entire beehive much less.
