Next to the thatched house, the earthenware pot on the stove was bubbling with hot air.

A strong smell of herbs drifted in the courtyard.

Zhang Yuan, who was guarding the stove, saw that the fire was almost ready, reached out and grabbed the pot handle and lifted it up, pouring the dark medicine juice in the pot into the bowl next to it.

Then he sent it to Zhang's mother's room.

"Mom, this medicine should be drunk while it is hot. Let it sit for a while and then cool it down."

He blew on the hot medicine juice and placed it on the small table beside the bed.

This was the herbal medicine that Zhang Yuan had bought for his mother from the county medicine store.

Because of overwork, Zhang's mother's body was severely damaged, resulting in long-term weakness and illness.

Although she had asked the doctor for a prescription before, she had never had enough money to buy expensive herbs, so she just kept dragging it on.

Fortunately, it didn't become a serious illness.

Now that Zhang Yuan has made an unexpected fortune, of course he has to find ways to restore his mother's health.

Zhang's mother sat on the bed and smiled faintly: "Yuan, my mother's body can still support it. If you have money, you should save it and buy more rice."

Zhang Yuan has a big appetite since he was a child, but he has not eaten enough in more than ten years.

Zhang Yuan was finally able to support the family by himself, but suddenly a Mr. Chen came to the village, and he was conscripted and repaired the ancestral temple, and he squeezed the bones and marrow of people with other surnames.

This life is going to be difficult again.

Although Zhang's mother didn't know where Zhang Yuan got the money for military service and medicine.

But she instinctively wanted to save for her son.

"I also bought rice, grain, oil and salt."

Zhang Yuan explained: "Don't worry, the child has found a way to make money, and he will be full in the future!"

He felt a little sad.

It has been five years since the memory of the previous life was awakened, and it was not until now that he solved the problem of food and clothing.

It was also helpless.

"Yuan!"

Zhang's mother suddenly stood up and held Zhang Yuan's wrist tightly.

Her eyes were full of tension and solemnity, and she said in a deep voice: "Do you remember the ancestral motto of our Zhang family?"

"Of course I remember!"

Zhang Yuan said firmly: "I will never steal even if I die of hunger, and I will never be a slave even if I die of poverty. This is the ancestral motto of the Zhang family, and I will always keep it in mind."

He gently patted his mother's skinny hand and said softly: "I have never committed any crime!"

Seeing that Zhang Yuan's attitude was very firm, Zhang's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but raised her hand to touch his face: "My child, you have suffered so much over the years."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "It's not very hard."

He picked up the medicine bowl on the small table and blew it a few more times, then handed it to his mother: "It should be almost done, please be careful of the burns."

"Yeah."

Zhang's mother took the medicine bowl and drank the liquid medicine in the bowl mouthful by mouthful.

The herbal medicine tasted very bitter.

But she didn't feel it at all, instead it was like drinking honey.

After drinking the medicine, Zhang's mother quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep against the head of the bed.

Zhang Yuan carefully helped his mother lie down, and then quietly left the room.

As a result, he just came to the small courtyard outside, and heard a noisy sound coming from outside the door - someone is coming!

Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he immediately opened the door and went out.

He saw that the stag-headed lawyer was coming to the door with two servants, and almost bumped into him.

"Humph!"

The stag-headed lawyer stopped and snorted coldly, and asked with a fake smile: "Zhang Yuan, the three-day deadline has come, have you collected all the silver for military service?"

He looked at Zhang Yuan with a sinister look, as if a poisonous snake stared at its prey.

It's chilling!

Zhang Yuan replied calmly: "All."

He turned to his room to get a cloth bag, and then returned to the door and handed it to the other party: "You count it."

The stag-headed lawyer took the money bag in surprise, weighed it, and then poured out all the silver and money in it and counted it.

He obviously didn't expect that Zhang Yuan actually collected five taels of silver for military service.

The stalker seemed to have gotten to know Zhang Yuan again, and said angrily: "You are smart."

He winked at the servant next to him: "Let's go!"

"Wait!"

Zhang Yuan suddenly stopped him.

The stalker's face suddenly changed, and the two servants looked fierce at the same time.

Zhang Yuan seemed not to notice, and asked in a deep voice: "Master, did you forget to give me the receipt?"

Without the receipt, who can prove that he has paid the silver for the military service?

There are no neighbors to testify!

The stalker was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Look at my memory!"

He took the paper and pen brought by the servant, quickly wrote a receipt for Zhang Yuan, and stamped it with a seal.

It seemed very formal.

Zhang Yuan took the receipt and watched the hyenas walk away.

He knew very well that if the other party was playing tricks, then this receipt would actually be like waste paper.

However, Master Zhangtou obviously had no intention of causing trouble. It was probably because of the strange incident yesterday that he was afraid and did not dare to do anything too much in the village.

This difficulty was overcome.

But it was only temporary!

Zhang Yuan stared at Master Zhangtou's back as he walked away, and a fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Master Zhangtou did not know that he had been included in Zhang Yuan's list of must-kills. After walking a distance, he said in a cold voice: "I didn't expect this kid to have some reputation and could actually come up with five taels of silver."

A servant next to him said: "I heard from the villagers that he went to the county town this morning to sell Zhang's dowry jewelry."

"Huh!"

Master Zhang sneered, "That means there is still some money to be made. Don't worry, we will slowly beat and slowly boil it."

The two servants smiled knowingly.

In their opinion, Zhang Yuan was like fish on the chopping board, and sooner or later he would be eaten up, without even a bone left.

Everyone admired Master Zhang's methods.

A bunch of mud legs, no way to fight!

The three of them rushed to the next house.

No matter how weird and terrifying it was, as long as you couldn't enter the village, there was nothing to fear.

It was terrible to fail to complete the master's task!

Zhang Yuan, standing at the door of his house, heard the pleading and crying coming from not far away.

That was another villager 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 as strong and turbulent as it is now!

He opened the Shenchao panel.

[Host: Zhang Yuan]

[God's Nest: Level 1 (15%)]

[Parasite: Level 2 Black Giant Ant (6%)/4 times strength]

[Qi and blood: 72/75]

[Source: 0]

God's Nest's first host, the Black Giant Ant, has upgraded!

Relying on all the source previously invested, it has evolved from Level 1 to Level 2, and its innate ability has become four times the strength!

Zhang Yuan's own strength is not small, and the limit can reach more than 200 kilograms. Originally, with the blessing of the Level 1 Black Giant Ant's ability, he could burst out 400 to 500 kilograms of strength.

This is the key reason why he killed Sun Huyuan, a martial artist in the Jin stage.

Now with the upgrade of the Black Giant Ant, Zhang Yuan's explosive power can reach 800 to 900 or even nearly 1,000 kilograms.

I'm afraid it's stronger than a first-level Ming Jin martial artist?

Zhang Yuan has no way to measure it for the time being.

But his confidence has increased all of a sudden!
