No one suffers
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.
The war between the Bamboo Leaf Gang and Black Iron Villa is still going on.
But the scale is no longer expanding.
In the core area, which was not affected much, life has returned to calm.
Except that you cannot leave the core area, everything else remains as usual.
As for the issue of making money to pay rent, the people from the Zhuye Gang gave them a way to offset the rent.
That is--
Join the battlefield to kill enemies on behalf of the Bamboo Leaf Gang, and then waive the corresponding rent based on your performance on the battlefield.
Those who perform well may even receive various additional rewards.
Such as exercises, elixirs, magical weapons, etc.
Many capable monks in the late stage of Qi Refining were moved and chose to become mercenaries of the Bamboo Leaf Gang and go to the frontal battlefield to kill the enemy.
The remaining monks who are not strong enough and don't have any special skills to make a living work in the logistics department doing odd jobs.
As an alchemist, Chen An's life is relatively comfortable.
No more rent to pay.
It turned into how many elixirs to provide to the Bamboo Leaf Gang every month.
The monthly amount of medicine provided is as high as 150 low-grade spiritual stones based on the market price.
But Chen An can still accept it.
Because providing elixirs directly to the Bamboo Leaf Gang can save you the effort of setting up stalls in the market to sell them, and you can also free up time to be affectionate with your wives and concubines, and accompany your daughter to grow up.
However, only residents in the core area can enjoy this peace.
Like the low-level monks in the cheap area, they are all suffering from the war.
In the center of the battlefield, they had to take up arms to fight against the invasion of the Black Iron Villa monks.
It's a pity that their cultivation level is too low, so most of them become cannon fodder.
Those who were lucky enough to survive basically became prisoners of war in Black Iron Villa.
The men were captured and used as coolies, while the women were captured indescribably.
The days are full of despair.
Since there was no hope in the low-cost area, many low-level monks there fled to the entrance of the core area, where they begged the residents of the core area to take them in.
However, if a hundred people come, at most only one or two female nuns with outstanding looks can be taken in.
The rest of the people were all taken to the logistics by the monks of the Bamboo Leaf Gang and worked day and night. Some people died suddenly from exhaustion every day.
During this war period, only the monks in the core area were treated as human beings by the Bamboo Leaf Gang.
As for the low-level monks in the cheap area, they are just a group of cattle and horses that are thrown away after use.
The world of immortality.
A world where the weak eat the strong.
It's so cruel.
…
This morning.
Chen An is going out to deliver the elixir refined yesterday to the Bamboo Leaf Gang.
As soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, he met Han Sanfan who was passing by the door.
When Han Sanfan saw him coming out, he stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Master Chen, there are a lot of female nuns from the cheap area at the entrance asking to be taken in. Would you like to come with me and have a look? If you are lucky, you might be able to bring a beauty back to warm your bed."
"I won't. I still have two wives and concubines to take care of at home, so I don't have the extra energy to look for them anymore."
"Hey, yes, Alchemist Chen has three beauties in his family."
"Fellow Daoist Han, I'll leave first if I have something else to do."
After Chen An finished speaking, he walked towards the Zhuye Gang without talking to Han Sanfan.
He had already visited the female nuns at the entrance in the first few days.
You can indeed see some with outstanding looks.
I was also moved.
However, he was so tempted that he did not take in those female nuns.
Even if he took in one more, it would just be an extra pair of chopsticks in the house, so he wouldn't take them in.
It's not that he doesn't want to.
But he is currently fighting with Wen Zhiyun.
If Wen Zhiyun suddenly brings back a concubine, Wen Zhiyun will definitely explode.
I might run away from home on the spot, and I don't want to share a room with him anymore.
Well, we have to take down Wen Zhiyun first, and then consider other things.
…
Come to the Bamboo Leaf Gang.
Chen An sent the refined elixir in.
After accepting it, he turned around and left.
At this time, a Zhuye Gang monk in charge of logistics stopped him and said:
"Alchemist Chen, starting from tomorrow, the supply of this elixir will be increased by an additional 20%."
"okay, I get it."
Chen An said lightly, without any emotion on his face.
I just glanced at the busy logistics and quickly turned around and left.
On the way back.
Chen An frowned slightly.
What does it mean to suddenly increase the supply of elixirs?
Does this mean that the war between the two gangs will intensify next?
This is not a good sign.
…
time flies.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment.
Chen Yuejian, who was originally only a little bigger, became fleshy without even realizing it.
Although he is only three months old, he can already crawl around on the bed.
It can only be said that it is different if you have spiritual roots.
For an ordinary child, it would take about six months at the earliest to learn to crawl.
"Husband, Xiaoyue crawls so fast. I wonder if she can learn to walk in another two or three months."
Song Huaying looked at her daughter with a smile on her face and said.
Chen An smiled and said:
"Definitely. After all, Xiao Yuejian has inherited her mother's intelligence and her father's spiritual roots. She might be able to run away in two months."
"I really hope time can pass quickly so that Xiaoyue can grow up quickly. I want to hear her call me mother."
Song Huaying said with expectation.
Chen An smiled and said nothing. He stepped forward and picked up his daughter, pinched her chubby little face and said:
"Xiaoyue Jian, daddy will take you for a walk in the yard outside to breathe some fresh air."
"Husband, then I will go to the kitchen to make dinner."
After Song Huaying finished speaking, she kissed her daughter, and then went to the kitchen to make breakfast with a satisfied look on her face.
