Chapter 286: I Won't Let You Make a Trip for Nothing

know who the murderer is."If you've done something wrong, your conscience will bother you, and a guilty conscience will always lead you to inquire about the news.Then she just needed to observe in the...Upon hearing this, Fang Jinshui immediately grinned mischievously.

"Uncle Wang, you said this yourself."

"You are the village chief, your word is law."

She was afraid that Wang, the village head, would react and change his words, so she immediately went back to her room and took out the two hundred taels of silver she had retrieved from the bandits' lair last time.

She had originally planned to use the money to build a new house, but now this sum of money has a more important purpose. Building a house can wait for a while; anyway, winter is still several months away.

A few months is enough time for her to do a lot of things, she might even be able to earn back several times the money it cost to build the house.

When Wang, the village head, actually saw two hundred taels of pure gold and silver, he was instantly stunned.

"This, this, where did you get so much silver from" He now truly regretted speaking.

Fang Jinxiu smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, you can't go back on your word. You just said that as long as I could come up with 200 taels right now, you would help me get a pass to run away from the mountains."

"Don't worry, I won't let you come all this way for nothing. As for the seeds, instead of relying on what Old Zong has – a bunch of stale grain, you'd be better off trusting me."

As soon as he heard the name "Liaozhong Village Head," his spirits lifted. "You Girl, can you really help me solve the grain problem"

Fang Jinshu thought of the three hundred plus jin of grain she had hidden in the space, all looted from the bandit's lair.

She used to only want to keep it as emergency food at home, but her mind has changed now.

If they could take over the barren mountains, their family wouldn't have to worry about running out of food and clothes even during winter.

With a water source, land, and the magic spring water that could accelerate plant growth and shorten their growing cycles, they could harvest a bountiful yield even if they missed the planting season. They would still be able to reap a large harvest before winter.

It's just that this kind of thing shouldn't be known by too many people, otherwise others would definitely suspect something strange about the fast growth of their crops.

Fang Jinshi didn't want to expose her secret, so she bought the barren hills and made all the surrounding land belong to her. This was the most stable choice.

Besides, the wild mountain produces an abundance of resources and cannot be considered a barren wasteland at all.

Because the mountain is inhabited by many ferocious neighbors, everyone avoids it and dares not come up to share the various resources in the mountains.

Instead, she got off easy because her family has a super hunter named Zong Yu who even wild beasts would give way to.

Fang Jinshu nodded affirmatively, "Uncle Wang, when have I ever spoken empty words"

"As long as you can help me capture this mountain, I will definitely help you solve the seed problem, so that every household not only has enough seeds to plant but also some vegetable seeds."

“Nowadays, these things, even if they wanted to go out and buy them, they probably couldn't find them.”

Towns and county seats would definitely sell grain seeds and vegetable seeds, but villagers are now afraid even of the bandits around the town, so who would dare to run that far just for some seeds.

The county town was far from their village. Even someone as fast-paced as Zong Yu, who could make the trip alone last time without stopping for a day and night.

Although the biggest gang of bandits in town was still wiped out by them, they later informed the officials to take everyone back.

But some rogue elements still lurk nearby, hiding and preying on unfortunate refugees passing through.

"It's not safe outside right now. When you go to the county government office, I'll have Zong Yu accompany you to ensure your safety."

"Uncle Wang, you must help me with this."

The village chief saw that she had considered everything so thoroughly, and it seemed like her mind was made up. Although he always felt buying the mountain was a momentous decision.and strode into the room, taking off his nightclothes without a word."Master, the time Lord Xiang has given us is not much. If we can't complete the task soon, I'm afraid Madam..."Jiang Chuang's anger...
