Chapter 7 Glowing Field Mouse in Yang Family Manor

This question was answered on the second page of the book "Login Bonus 100 Draws".

1. When it's not convenient to use, just hit it; 2. If you pull too hard, you'll get cotton; 3. They are all cheap.

"Holy crap?"

While shocked, Yang Genshuo pondered it and felt it made sense.

"No, using this book as a family development guide, you're a bit too outrageous!"

He didn't know how to vent the huge complaint in his heart.

Seeing that the Old Ancestor had no instructions, Yang Shi took care of things himself.

"Why aren't those three slacking off on farming?"

"These three darkies were slacking off, ran off to catch field mice halfway through their work, and I caught them! Look!"

Huzi took out a huge field mouse from his burlap sack, as big as an adult Earth Dog!

It was fat and large, with smooth fur.

At first glance, it looked like a sable, but upon closer inspection, its shifty eyes clearly showed it was a magnified version of a field mouse.

"How can there be such large field mice?" Yang Shi was a little surprised. In the 12 years he had been a beggar wandering from place to place, he had traveled to many cities and caught many field mice, but he had never seen one this big.

Pedestrians on the road also looked at the large field mouse with great astonishment, and unconsciously moved a little further away from Huzi.

Huzi scratched his head.

"The darkies said there were several field mice this big in our fields. They were going to catch the field mice to eliminate the pests and have a delicious meal."

"Since that's the case, it's understandable. Let me see how this situation should be punished."

Seeing the Book of Demons, the three dark-skinned men shivered violently, as if they had seen their nemesis. However, after hearing 'understandable', they felt a little relieved.

They all knew that Master Yang was a well-known philanthropist in Qingshi County, and he wouldn't make things difficult for them like the vicious dog Huzi.

"Hmm, found it. When a darkie uses other excuses to argue that they haven't worked, regardless of whether the reason is correct or not, they should be whipped twice as hard."

The three darkies: "!!!"

"Hehehe~" Huzi grinned sinisterly. The Huzi before him was different from the beggar who relied on handouts half a year ago. His body had developed rapidly, and he had become much stronger, especially with the leather whip hanging from his waist, he looked every bit the wicked servant.

Just as he picked up the whip to strike, a pleasant female voice came from the teahouse.

"Wait a moment!"

After half a year, the young girl Jiang Xiaobai, who had grown into a graceful lady, walked out. She was fair and tender, like a Jade Maiden stepping out of a painting. The teahouse patrons upstairs couldn't help but follow Jiang Xiaobai's gaze out the window.

She was just 1.5 meters tall, appearing petite and adorable next to the 1.8-meter Yang Shi, like a Little Potato.

She pointed at the three "Black Ghosts" prostrating on the ground and said, "Master Yang is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see this."

The three "Black Ghosts" immediately felt a glimmer of hope, looking at Jiang Xiaobai with gratitude.

"Drag them to a place Master Yang can't see before you beat them."

Three "Black Ghosts": "!!!"

"Alright! I'll drag them to our manor to be beaten. It's a good chance to let the other 'Black Ghosts' see that we don't feed them for free in the Yang family! Cheap Skin, if they don't get a whipping every day, they won't work!"

Huzi dragged the three crying and wailing "Black Ghosts" away, pulling all three with no effort.

Yang Genshuo watched the situation below, his mouth twitching slightly.

Although he looked "yellow" on the outside, his heart was "red" on the inside. He never intended to do anything "black."

Yang Shi seemed to sense that the Old Ancestor was observing him. After finishing the matter, he walked to the backyard of the teahouse to explain.

"Old Ancestor, these 'Black Ghosts' are Tribal Barbarians from outside Qingshi County. They have low levels of education. They are physically strong but lazy and gluttonous. They don't engage in labor and often stop passersby to demand Money, and stealing from villages is common. The people around Qingshi County are deeply troubled by them. So, I brought people to capture them one by one and manage them according to the 'Login Bonus 100 Draws' method you provided. It has indeed been remarkably effective!"

"Not only can they sow and harvest for our Yang Family Manor, but it has also reformed their thinking, preventing them from causing trouble in the villages. They now earn food through labor."

"However, as the books say, the nature of 'Black Ghosts' is hard to change. As soon as you speak kindly to them, they reveal their true colors. That's why I let Huzi teach them a good lesson. A daily whipping ensures the manor can operate."

Yang Genshuo: "."

You can't deny it, from a certain perspective, Yang Shi was actually doing a good deed.

"Forget it. Overall, Yang Shi has completed my requirements and is further strengthening the foundation of the Yang family. Although the method is not exactly what I envisioned, the result is good."

He glanced at the time; it was already 1 AM. He had slept for a full 12 hours, and half a year had passed in Yang Shi's world.

He dragged the historical messages on the right side and flipped through the events that had occurred in the past half-year. There were mainly these two major events.

[Year 1, Day 2: Yang Shi took Huzi from the ranks of beggars into his service. Huzi was deeply grateful and asked Yang Shi to bestow a surname upon him, naming him Yang Hu.]

[Year 1, Day 20: Yang Shi sold a box of Alps Candy and a box of Chocolate to the Pinnacle Pavilion, exchanging them for a large sum of Money.]

[Year 1, Day 21: Yang Shi bought a restaurant and a hundred mu of fertile land.]

[Year 1, Day 60: Yang Shi and Yang Hu recruited rangers, captured the "Black Ghosts" who were causing trouble in the villages, and drove them to the Yang Family Manor. Using the seed reserves in the Safe House, they cultivated the hundred mu of fertile land. The "Black Ghosts" seemed to be very good at sowing cotton, learning it instinctively.]

[Yang Hu became the manager of Yang Family Manor.]

[Year 1, Day 95: Yang's Board Game Tea House opened. It hired storytellers to perform "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at the tea house, attracting a large audience. The specialty Immortal's Grace Milk Tea became synonymous with Qingshi's socialites, with limited daily supply making it hard to get. The Sanguosha board game was a favorite among scholars.]

[Jiang Xiaobai, eloquent and well-written, became the tea house manager, and its revenue climbed steadily.]

[Year 1, Day 182: You used Divine Manifestation.]

"Did you use seeds from my Safe House? That's quite interesting."

As a true Hua Countryman, his Safe House absolutely couldn't lack farming reserves. He had seeds for grains, vegetables, and cash crops, convenient for restarting during the Apocalypse.

"Farming and developing. Yang Shi is taking the king's road."

In a world with such backward technology, hoarding land was extremely important. This was the foundation of a family's heritage. Yang Genshuo also wanted to see if the Earth seeds he brought could blossom and bear fruit in this world.

A line of Golden Characters appeared in the air:

"Go take a look at the manor."

"Following the Old Ancestor's guidance."

On the way, Yang Genshuo pondered a strange question.

"Why did Yang Shi do nothing but practice martial arts last year, like a Hermit in seclusion? This year, after I mentioned developing the family, he suddenly opened up and came up with one trick after another, and they all turned out well."

He thought all the way, and when he saw Yang Shi's talent [Joker], he suddenly understood.

"Oh, it's because my gaze suppressed his performance. Instead, after I went into 'seclusion,' he was able to express himself freely."

"Interesting."

Yang Family Manor was located north of Qingshi County, below the small mountain where the Yang family ancestral graves were located.

The 100 mu manor looked quite impressive, about the size of 10 football fields.

Under the summer sun, All Things Grow. Black-skinned people shuttled through it, creating an indescribable harmony.

Most of the vegetables had already matured and were ready for harvest and sale.

Some of the vegetables were varieties not found locally, and were highly favored by the ladies and gentlemen of Wealthy Households. Their price was 10 times that of ordinary vegetables, yet they were still in short supply.

Yang Genshuo nodded with satisfaction.

"Brother Shi! Look! I caught 3 more big field mice. I'll roast them for you to eat later!"

Huzi dragged a long rope, with 3 large field mice tied to it. The one in the middle was exceptionally huge, almost grown into a pig.

"Huh?"

Yang Genshuo, who was admiring the manor, saw a strange sight.

The pig-like mouse in the middle was emitting a faint glow.

Yang Shi and Huzi couldn't see it.
