The sun is three poles high, and the sun is shining brightly.
After the transportation task was over, Tang Mang, Tang Xiaoniu, and many Tang family slaves received receipts from the middle-aged man for completing the task, and then prepared to return to the Tang family to hand in the task in exchange for contribution points.
"Boy, wait."
"What do you want the steward to do?"
Tang Mang was about to leave, but he didn't expect that the middle-aged man stopped him alone.
Tang Mang knew about a middle-aged man named Tang Min who was a descendant of the Tang family. He was eloquent and knew how to please people. In the past thirty years, he had become the steward of the Tang family specializing in managing daily necessities.
Tang Min waved the others to leave, without even looking at Tang Mang. He said calmly with a businesslike expression: "Nothing happened. It's just that the Nantian Chief Manager saw that you were working the hardest to carry it, so he specifically asked me to reward you with this box of rosin nephrite ointment."
for you."
After saying that, he threw a jade box to Tang Mang.
"This, this is what the Nantian Chief Steward gave me!?"
Tang Mang took the jade box and slowly opened it. He looked at the soft ointment in the box that exuded a strange fragrance, with a look of flattery on his face.
Of course Tang Mang knew that Tang Nantian, the chief steward of Nantian, was the chief steward of the Tang family and held a high position, but he did not expect that Tang Nantian would give him a box of rosin nephrite ointment.
Wait, shouldn’t a box of rosin nephrite paste be so small?
Why does it seem like most of it has been deducted from your life?
While Tang Mang was thinking about it, he suddenly found that there was obviously a lot less ointment in the jade box. After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that Tang Min in front of him must have intercepted it secretly.
"Why aren't you leaving? Do you have any questions?"
Tang Min's tone was cold, but he was worried that Tang Mang would complain to Tang Nantian privately.
By then, Tang Nantian knew that he had secretly deducted a lot of pine resin jade paste, and he would definitely not be able to reap the rewards.
Tang Mang didn't say anything more, bowed slightly to Tang Min, then turned and left. However, he was very angry in his heart and secretly remembered that Tang Min was a villain. One day, he would only take revenge if he succeeded in cultivation.
Although Tang Mang is only fourteen years old, he has endured hardship since childhood and has a stable character. He understands that a gentleman's revenge is never too late.
Along the way, without mentioning Tang Min, Tang Mang secretly remembered Tang Nantian's kindness. You must know that this pine resin jade ointment is expensive, a box costs at least a thousand taels of silver, and only the direct descendants of the Tang family can enjoy it occasionally.
.
Not long after, Tang Mang returned to the Tang family to hand over the task.
Outside the Tang family ancestral hall, there is a dedicated Tang family steward.
Any Tang family disciple or servant who has completed a task can get corresponding contribution points by handing in a receipt for completing the task or the things needed for the task.
The transporting task is very simple, purely physical work, and the contribution points are pitiful, only two points.
With only two contribution points, it is impossible to exchange for expensive medicinal materials for cultivation except for a little money.
So after handing in the mission, Tang Mang started searching for other missions.
Tang Mang was concentrating on choosing a task, but someone didn't let him get what he wanted.
No, Tang Fang, who was not far away, saw Tang Mang, his face suddenly darkened, and he came to Tang Mang with a few friends.
In front of the Tang family's ancestral hall, Tang Fang did not dare to be too presumptuous. He secretly stretched out his hand to push Tang Mang and sneered: "You little slave, you want to enjoy the Tang family's cultivation resources? Stop dreaming. I am a slave after all."
servant."
"Article 7 of the new family rules, any descendant of the Tang family is not allowed to insult or beat the slaves. Violation will be punished with twenty sticks."
Tang Mang snorted coldly, chose a mission to hunt black bears outside Cangshan Mountain, and left quickly.
"Damn, this damn little bastard dares to threaten me?"
Tang Fang saw Tang Mang walking away, his expression gloomy, and he cursed.
"Young Master Fang, that kid is a bitch, and he won't be obedient unless he's beaten."
"Yeah, I really want to break both of his legs."
The few friends around Tang Fang also looked at Tang Mang and felt very unhappy.
Tang Fang's eyes were cold. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. He said sadly: "Breaking two legs? How could I take advantage of him so easily? I must kill him today."
"Here, Master Fang is going to kill him!?"
One person's expression changed drastically.
Insulting or even beating a slave is against the family rules, but it is nothing more than a stick.
If it is murder, it is a serious crime and the consequences are quite serious.
"Hmph, he should have chosen the task of hunting black bears just now. As long as we kill him quietly, the family will just think that he died in Cangshan. How can we be traced?"
When Tang Fang said this, his eyes filled with anger, he waved his hand and said: "Let's go, let's follow."
"Okay, I'll be that kid today."
Several friends were also unambiguous and followed Tang Fang in pursuit.
In a hurry for half an hour, Tang Mang spent more than a dozen taels of money he had saved for half a year, bought an iron fork at the blacksmith shop in Dahe City, and then left the city.
Cangshan is located a few miles north of the city, not far from Dahe City. It didn't take long for Tang Mang to arrive outside Cangshan.
Looking around, Cangshan Mountain is covered with lush forests and rugged rocks. The huge mountain range is like a wild beast stretching across the sky and earth, with no end in sight.
Wisps of breeze blew in his face. Tang Mang took a deep breath and felt that there was a faint fishy smell in the air, mixed with the smell of blood.
Cangshan Mountain is vast and boundless, with undulating mountains stretching for hundreds of miles, and there are many ferocious beasts in it.
These beasts eat people without spitting out their bones. They are so powerful that they occasionally come out and take people's lives.
Rumor has it that there are even beasts that have become spirits deep in Cangshan Mountain.
This kind of beast, which has taken over the creation of heaven and earth, has been transformed into a monster. Not only is it extremely powerful, it can also breathe fire and ice. It can easily kill top masters in the physical realm. It is frightening. Only masters in the Kaiyuan Realm can deal with it.
.
Black bears are naturally wild beasts and often wander around the edge of Cangshan Mountain hunting for food.
Tang Mang had Ticha, practiced the complete Liger Boxing, and added a small box of rosin jade ointment for healing wounds. He thought that if he was more careful, he should be able to complete the task of hunting the black bear.
If he can complete it, he can get dozens of contribution points, which can be used in exchange for medicinal materials for cultivation.
Walking slowly into Cangshan Mountain, Tang Mang raised his ears and listened in all directions, looking very cautious.
There is also considerable danger outside Cangshan Mountain.
In addition to the wild beasts wandering around the perimeter, the most terrifying dangers are the poisonous snakes hiding on the branches or in the grass.
If you are not careful, you will suddenly launch a sneak attack and bite you. Without an antidote, it will be difficult to survive.
Due to caution, Tang Mang avoided several areas inhabited by poisonous snakes and went more than ten miles deep.
As long as you don't go deep into Cangshan Mountain for twenty miles, it is a marginal area and is relatively safe. After twenty miles, there will be many dangers. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes.
Tang Mang only wanted to look for black bears on the outside, and of course he would not go deep.
As he walked, he lowered his head and looked up from time to time to check the grass in front of him and the trees above his head, looking for black bears. Tang Mang was not idle either. He would pick any herbs he saw and wrap them carefully.
The fringe area is often visited by people, and the collection is almost complete.
Even if there were medicinal herbs, they were not very old and were not considered valuable, but Tang Mang didn't let them go when he saw them, so he collected them all.
No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. Although the value of these medicinal herbs is small, if they are in large quantities, they are still a big harvest.
What's more, the Tang family also has the task of picking various medicinal herbs on the edge of Cangshan Mountain. While hunting the black bear, Tang Mang completes the task of picking medicinal herbs and exchanges for as many contribution points as possible. Why not?
