…
More than ten days passed by quickly.
These days, Fang Zhengzhi had a very comfortable life. The Southern Mountain Village hunting squad worked hard together, and the results were much faster than what he had done. The hoes flew in the air, and the traps were big and round.
And Fang Zhengzhi took on the role of supervisor. Here … here, dig a little further, hmm, this rock needs to be a little higher, this piece is too small …
Other than that, he guarded the "one acre of land" that he dug himself, and lived a carefree life of reading books and waiting for his prey.
"This mountain was opened by me, this tree was planted by me, if you want to pass by … leave your life behind."
The ancients would often describe waiting for a hare by a stump as reaping without sowing. And now, Fang Zhengzhi evidently lived such a life.
Except, he wasn't guarding a tree, but a piece of land.
The results were also completely different. Every day, he couldn't even finish picking up prey. Just the green furred rabbit alone, he could pick up at least two. There were also some other prey. Fang Zhengzhi was even thinking if he should just fill his stomach with food, and turn this place into a natural breeding ground …
The Southern Mountain Village hunting squad's work was in full swing, and the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad was naturally filled with envy and jealousy.
Coupled with the aftermath of being robbed by Fang Zhengzhi …
Sneak attack, sneak attack, and sneak attack again!
Three times in a row.
The Northern Mountain Village hunting squad learned their lesson time and time again, and improved their sneak attack plans. What straight line sneak attack, surrounding and outflanking, groups of three, groups of two …
Zhang Yangping didn't slack off at all, and could be said to have racked his brain.
Yet …
It wasn't of any use!
With the help of the rock formation, the Southern Mountain Village villagers were as cunning as a black fox hiding in the shadows. Each of them appeared and disappeared like a ghost. When one side was attacked, the other side would come to their rescue.
After three rounds of battle, the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad could be said to have suffered a double loss.
They didn't manage to snatch any prey, and their weapons were confiscated every time they came. The originally sharp spears and curved knives were now basically broken large metal swords.
Without weapons, the prey they killed became fewer and fewer …
It could be said that life was rather tough.
In comparison, the Southern Mountain Village celebrated every day as if it was a festival. Everyone was in high spirits, and the prey the hunting squad hunted increased. Every family could eat meat, how could they not be happy?
…
The night was as calm as water.
Fang Zhengzhi felt that he could control his body more and more freely. There was a strange feeling, as though there was a conflict between his thoughts and thoughts. It was as though his control over his muscles had become more precise.
Or perhaps …
Was his previous thinking wrong? I'm not controlling my muscles at all? Was it blood? That shouldn't be it … then what is it?
No one had ever taught him anything about cultivation, so he had to rely on himself to figure everything out.
Therefore, in a situation where he couldn't figure it out, he could only use the most primitive method, which was to wait for the right opportunity to strike! Continue to read, memorize, and improve your strength. As long as you reach a certain level, you will naturally break through when the time comes, right?
…
Just as Fang Zhengzhi was peacefully reading his book, Mrs Li, who was in the courtyard next door, paced back and forth in her room restlessly.
Beside Mrs Li, Li Zhuangshi's expression did not look too good.
"Think of something? You have been studying in the Hall of Dao all day, you didn't see … the way village chief looks at Fang Zhengzhi now, is filled with light! "
"I really don't know what kind of divine help he received for that stupid trap he drew, it actually made those prey run according to the route he set, and all of them seemed to be queuing up to jump into the trap!" Mrs Li's saliva flew everywhere.
"All in all, this is a good thing!" Li Zhuangshi crossed his legs and sat on the bed.
"Good thing? Don't forget, initially the Divine Constabulary gave our Southern Mountain Village an extra quota. That quota was snatched from Fang Zhengzhi's hands. Even though it has already been reported, but, can't it be changed? Village chief doesn't have this idea now, but, what about a month later? A year later? Who can guarantee that village chief won't think of a way to replace Huer! "Mrs Li was somewhat anxious.
Li Zhuangshi's expression instantly darkened. The longer he stayed in the Hall of Dao, the more he understood the outside world. As long as he could pass the Law of Dao examinations, he would be able to enjoy the many blessings of the dynasty.
The small Southern Mountain Village simply wasn't a place to stay for long.
Walking out, entering the county, even the capital … this was the future that Li Zhuangshi planned for himself.
"We can't lose the quota for the Hall of Dao, Huer has improved greatly in this period of time. As long as he can continue to study in the Hall of Dao, he will definitely be able to pass the Law of Dao examinations!" Li Zhuangshi gazed at the snoring Li Huer in the room next door.
"Then think of a way? Now that Fang Zhengzhi's status in the Southern Mountain Village is getting higher and higher, almost suppressing our Li family, if this continues, this quota will definitely be snatched away! "Mrs Li was somewhat anxious.
"Yes, we have to think of a way … Fang Zhengzhi this child is quite intelligent, furthermore, he has indeed contributed to the village, we can't be too ruthless … that's right, I have an idea!" Li Zhuangshi's eyes lit up.
"What idea?" Mrs Li instantly scurried over.
"Kill with a borrowed knife!"
"Ah?" Mrs Li was taken aback.
"What are you calling, soft-hearted!" Li Zhuangshi had recently become more educated, and began to learn from his teacher's words. Looking at Mrs Li's shocked expression, he lowered his voice and explained.
"We don't really want to kill him. Think about it, the Northern Mountain Village people definitely hate Fang Zhengzhi to the core. We secretly gave them the drawing he drew, this way they will naturally seek revenge. I think … killing him, the Northern Mountain Village people definitely wouldn't go so far as to do so. After all, the North and South Villages have a close relationship, but breaking his limbs is definitely a must!"
"What do you mean?" Mrs Li's heart skipped a beat.
"As long as Fang Zhengzhi breaks his limbs, then he will be the same as Fang Houde. No matter how great his contributions are, village chief will not bet the future of the village on him. The Law of Dao examination, the quota for the Hall of Dao, naturally won't have anything to do with him. What he can do, is to continuously hunt for prey for us, ha ha ha …"
…
Fang Zhengzhi's plan for a natural farm was carried out very smoothly. In order to save time and reduce the number of fights between different beasts, he even specially categorised the prey in the trap.
A few days later, as per usual, he carried a basket of prepared feed and went up the mountain alone.
With the protection of the rock formation, the outer perimeter of Cang Ling Mountain was basically very safe. Furthermore, his abilities had also improved. As the saying goes, the more skilled one is, the more courageous one is. Hence, he didn't think too much about it.
After entering the mountain, he directly came to his own territory. After inspecting the prey that had been starved for an entire day in the trap, Fang Zhengzhi threw the feed down.
Then, he found a large rock facing the sun, took out a book and began to read softly.
"The Six Evils of Man: First, the official has built a pavilion in the palace, visited and advocated music, harming the King's virtue. Second, the people do not work in agriculture, but wander about freely. Those who violate the laws of the calendar and do not follow the orders of the officials, harming the King's virtue … "
This was the Virtuous Chapter of the Six Secret Arts, mainly talking about the Six Evils and Seven Evils.
Fang Zhengzhi, who was reading, didn't know that at this moment, there were already over twenty Northern Mountain Village hunting squad members, wielding long knives and wooden bows on their backs, lying in ambush around him.
