Chapter 68: Entering Xiqiang
The old man's care is meticulous, although Wei Dong has doubts in his heart, he can only choose to recuperate and recover with peace of mind first. It is very boring to lie in bed on weekdays, and after the old man is busy with his work, he will also come over to chat with Wei Dong to relieve his boredom. This old man is proficient in pharmacology, and in Wei Dong's many interrogations, he also made it clear that the poison in his place this time is unparalleled in the world, if it weren't for the antibodies in Wei Dong's body, let alone life now, even whether there are all corpses.
Wei Dong shirked it in his mouth because he had accidentally eaten a strange fruit when he was a child, and since then he has been invulnerable, but he knows in his heart that this antibody is the effect of avoiding water and poison beads, but this time the poison in the black sac is so poisonous that even this bead cannot be fully solved, which shows how powerful its toxin is. The old man only smiled slightly when he heard Wei Dong's words, and did not ask, and then chatted with Wei Dong about some other interesting things.
In fact, what Wei Dong didn't know was that the poison in the small black sac was the accumulation of hundreds of years of the Ten-Winged Centipede Emperor, and it was scorched by the Samadhi True Fire, and its poison was so fierce that ordinary people would immediately turn into a puddle of pus and blood as long as they smelled it.
After another three days, Wei Dong was finally allowed to walk on the ground by the old man, and with joy, he began his difficult toddler again.
At the beginning, Wei Dong was like an ordinary patient who had been bedridden for a long time, and could only slowly move forward with his support for the table and chair. I don't know how many times he fell, and when Wei Dong also felt discouraged, the old man handed him a pair of self-made crutches. In this way, Wei Dong put up a cane and practiced walking every day.
Sometimes, someone would come over to buy the herbs picked by the old man, and when he saw Wei Dong, he would ask the old man. The old man said that a distant relative came to him, and he was accidentally bitten by poison while collecting medicine, and now he is in the process of recovery.
Wei Dong no longer had any doubts in his heart at this time, and he began to understand why the old man was so old and had such clear eyes.
After more than ten days of exercise, Wei Dong was finally able to put aside his crutches and walk alone. In the following days, Wei Dong was getting better and better day by day, and he looked the same day every day.
Early in the morning, the old man came back from collecting medicine and saw Wei Dong practicing a set of boxing techniques, this punch was not explosive, but it was endless. After watching it, I couldn't help but applaud loudly, "Okay, good boxing, Xiao Dongzi, you make a good punch." β
"Uncle has won the prize. Wei Dong turned his head politely and walked back as he gathered his momentum.
"Your kid has a deep fist intent of 'Rolling Stone Fist', and he must have been taught by a famous master. The old man's casual words aroused Wei Dong's interest: "Uncle, you also know how to box?"
"You kid, you look down on people! Although this 'Rolling Stone Fist' is not a stall, it is not profound, why can't I understand it?" the old man blew his beard, and looked a little angry.
Wei Dong immediately smiled when he saw it: "Yes, you can understand." β
"You kid doesn't even get home. He shook his head and went back to the house.
In this way, after another ten days, Wei Dong practiced all boxing techniques thoroughly except for the sword technique and cultivation exercises, but the old man never discussed other boxing techniques except for talking about the 'Rolling Stone Fist' with Wei Dong that day. It was very surprising to Wei Dong.
Early this morning, Wei Dong was practicing boxing again, and suddenly heard a burst of applause behind him: "Okay, good boxing." When I looked back, it turned out to be one of the old man's customersβa merchant who came to buy herbs.
"Little brother, it's good to recover, what a good fist you practice!" the merchant gave a thumbs up.
"Where, make you smile. It's just a rough pass. Wei Dong immediately replied humbly.
"Where's Daddy?" the merchant saw that Wei Dong was very polite, so he asked with a pleasant face.
"Oh, just finished picking herbs, in the house. Wei Dong stretched out his hand and pointed into the room.
"Well, little brother, let's talk later, it's important to get down to business. The merchant turned around and went into the house.
Wei Dong didn't care, he sat on the bench outside the house, and began to think: Now that the poisonous wounds have healed, how can I enter Xiqiang? I heard that Xiqiang has a household registration nameplate, and if it is not registered, it can only be a black household registration, and it will not be able to enter the city.
Just thinking about it, I saw the old man leading the merchant to Wei Dong's side: "Xiao Dongzi, your poisonous wound has healed, I don't think you should stay with me, Qu Cai." The master of this steward is a wealthy merchant in Wild Sand City, and he is recruiting guards, so you can take the test, I think you can do it. β
"Uncle, this ...... I don't have a hukou here?" Wei Dong hesitated for a while, but still told the truth.
"Haha, little brother, can you tell me where you are?" asked the steward with a smile.
"I'm from a barbarian, this one, I killed the bully in the township, so I came to avoid trouble. Wei Dong also replied directly.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter, as long as you have the right heart and ability, the household registration is easy to handle. You were recommended by your father, but you have to fight for him!" the steward said to Wei Dong in a serious tone.
"Well, thank you uncle. After Wei Dong finished speaking, he bent down to the old man and bowed seriously.
"Hehe, go ahead. The old man smiled.
"Thank you so much for your attention. Wei Dong also clenched his fist to the steward.
"Okay, okay, then come with me. The steward waved his hand very cheerfully.
"Goodbye, uncle, I'll come back to see you. Wei Dong has been with the old man for more than a month, and he is really a little reluctant at this time.
"Well, okay, go ahead. The old man still waved his hand.
The steward held a packet of prepared herbs in his hand, and happily led Wei Dong to the carriage outside, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you can sit in front, the carriage is full of herbs, and I can't sit down." β
Helping the steward open the carriage door, it was indeed full of herbs and herbs, and the steward nodded to Wei Dong with great satisfaction, and got into the carriage.
Wei Dong closed the car door again, came to the front of the car, and said to the coachman driving the carriage: "Big brother, okay." β
The coachman was also very polite, and nodded his head in good faith. Wei Dong jumped and sat next to the coachman.
"Little brother, what a skill!" the coachman exclaimed, very surprised.
The carriage was not moving fast, and at noon, the steward took out some dry food to share with Wei Dong and the coachman outside. Wei Dong felt that this steward was really good.
In the evening, when the sky was still bright, the carriage came to the main gate of Wild Sand City, and without stopping too much, it drove directly into the city gate.
Wei Dong sat outside the car, carefully observing the landform of Xiqiang all the way. When I was studying in Jinguo, I heard the teacher introduce the five countries like this: Dajinguo has the richest landform, many products, and the largest population. The Southern Barbarians are marked by mountains and forests; the eastern Japanese are close to the sea, and the domestic waterways are marked by water; the Northern Di is marked by the prairie; and the Western Qiang is marked by deserts and sandy lands.
Today, it seems that it is really good, there is sandy land and wasteland here, and I haven't seen much arable land along the way. The food of the Qiang country must be scarce, Wei Dong sighed in his heart.
Then I thought of the 'Giant Spirit Sect', this barbarian country, although Wei Dong did not stay for a long time, he had friends, relatives, and a more caring wife there. Wei Dong had already regarded her as his hometown, and he was even closer to him than that Jin country.
I don't know what his wife is doing now? It's been almost two months, and Wei Dong misses his life in the 'Giant Spirit Sect' very much.
In the past few days, when Hong Xiaoyun got up in the morning, or when she was practicing, she often vomited, vomiting some sour water, and after asking her mother, she knew that she might be pregnant. 'Are you going to be a mother?' Wei Dong, you're going to be a father, do you know, where are you now, are you okay?'
Wei Dong's heart was in turmoil, "Ahh
After entering the 'Wild Sand City', I obviously felt that the style of those buildings was different from that of the Jin Kingdom and the Barbarian Kingdom.
The buildings here are all made of yellow stones, all of which are boxy, with flutes and horns, and look like they are made of gold from a distance. Even the teahouse and restaurant are the same style. This one...... Wei Dong really couldn't accept it.
After walking for a while, Wei Dong saw a tall building not far away, covering an extremely vast area and towering into the sky. I was very curious, so I turned my head and asked the eldest brother of the coachman, and the answer was: Fighting martial arts.
'Is this building a martial arts arena?' Wei Dong was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't ask too much detail.
Soon after, just as Wei was looking east, the carriage stopped and came to a very large mansion with a plaque hanging directly above the door, on which the word 'Mafu' was written.
The driver got out of the car and banged on a side door, and in a few moments, the side door opened widely. The coachman got back into the carriage and drove in.
After entering the mansion, the steward got out of the car and called someone to come out to carry the herbs, while Wei Dong helped carry them together, but was pulled away by the steward, "You will go with me to see the eldest prince later." Let the next man do these things. β
Wei Dong nodded yes, put down the herbal package in his hand, and stood aside, waiting patiently.
In a moment, the herbs in the carriage were emptied, and the steward straightened his collar, patted the dust off his body, and led Wei Dong to the front.
After passing through two courtyards, three houses, and a small stone bridge, the two came to the front of a small building in the middle of the lake.
The steward asked Wei Dong to wait outside, he stepped forward and knocked on the door alone, and after a while, the door was opened, "Who was I at the time? It turned out to be Steward Liu, is there something?"
Steward Liu, showing a fascinated look, said, "Sister, the son is here." β
"Oh, it's upstairs, go up!" said the maid chuckled again, and laughed at the bones of a willow steward.
"Lao Liu, look for me for something. A crisp voice came from Xiaolou.
"Yes, Childe, I brought someone back, and asked Childe to go downstairs to check. Steward Liu replied very respectfully.
"Okay, I'll come down now. "Pedal and pedal, and a man ran down the stairs quickly.
