Chapter 313: Wild Mulberry
At noon, he simply ate a steamed bun, and Xuan Wei sat under the scorching sun, condensing his senses.
However, the foundation was damaged, and the qi sense that had been condensed with great difficulty could not be stored in the body at all, just like a bottle with a leaky hole that could not be filled with water.
"Alas, is it really useless?" Xuan Wei shook his head and muttered to himself a little helplessly.
Breaking and standing up is not the same as starting all over again, Xuanwei wants to copy the past experience and start cultivating again, but it is still unrealistic after all.
"It seems that you can only take the path of the main quest, improve your mood, accumulate your understanding, and then strive to get married in one fell swoop!" Xuan Wei is not an iron-headed baby who does not hit the south wall and does not look back, since it has taken so long and he still can't re-cultivate, then he will no longer force it.
It's just like that, looking forward to an ethereal epiphany or feeling to come, which is not the usual style of Xuanwei.
Even if you can't cultivate, you can't waste your time, wouldn't it make more sense to take this opportunity to learn something else?
Xuan Wei came to his senses and began to plan a schedule for the next few days.
"The research of the thirteen articles of the Taoist doctor cannot be interrupted here, especially the part of the elixir decoction, even if it is not cultivated, it will not affect the continued study and exploration. Xuan Wei muttered to herself.
In the schedule drafted by Xuan Wei, a two-hour medical research section was added to the project for the children in the morning.
"The comprehension of the Great Dao is indispensable for studying the scriptures, this is fundamental, and we must not relax!" Xuan Wei continued to talk to himself.
Well, when your thoughts are clearest in the morning, dedicate your morning class an hour or two earlier to the study of the scriptures.
"Also, now the physique of this body is still insufficient, since it can't be cultivated internally, simply cultivate external skills to make up for it!" Xuan Wei had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
In the past, Xuan Wei followed the path of internal cultivation, from the inside out, so there were only a handful of external skills he practiced, and all of them were health preservation exercises.
As for those aggressive external skills, to be honest, in Xuan Wei's opinion, it is a little chicken, after all, no matter how powerful the external skills are, can they have great Taoist powers?
However, at the moment, properly cultivating a few offensive external skills can undoubtedly increase Xuanwei's self-preservation ability, so that even ordinary people will be difficult to deal with.
In addition, the forging effect of external power on the body is quite consistent with the weak physique of Xuanwei today.
After pondering for a moment, Xuan Wei decided to add three hours of external cultivation every afternoon.
……
While Xuan Wei was meditating, a dog barking suddenly came from the door of the Taoist temple.
It was Ash's shout, but there was no hostility in it, and it was clear that the person who had come was an acquaintance.
"Teacher, it's me!" a crisp voice came into Xuan Wei's ears.
"Oh, it turned out to be Xiaomei!" Xuan Wei immediately identified the owner of the voice.
Standing in front of Xuanwei was a little girl with braids, who was one of the children who studied here every morning.
Xiaomei is a very smart child, what Xuanwei teaches belongs to her to learn the fastest, and she is usually not like some children who are occasionally naughty, her well-behaved and sensible makes Xuanwei remember it deeply.
"Teacher, I picked some wild mulberries on the mountain, but they are sweet!" Xiaomei held a porcelain bowl in her hand, which was filled with jet-black fruits.
Xuanwei could fully imagine the anticipation of the girl in front of her, her smile like a crescent moon, and a little blush in her sweet smile.
"You kid, don't make an example!" Xuan Wei sighed lightly and took the porcelain bowl handed by Xiaomei.
Xiaomei smiled very implicitly, didn't say anything, and stared at Xuanwei with her big eyes.
Xuan Wei seemed to feel Xiaomei's gaze, he reached out and picked up a wild mulberry, put it in his mouth and tasted it.
The ripe wild mulberries are full of flesh, and the sweet juice mixed with a subtle sourness makes you want to taste a few more.
"Well, Xiaomei, the wild mulberries you picked are delicious. Xuan said softly.
As if she had received the best praise in the world, Xiaomei said happily: "Teacher, you can eat if you like it!"
"Xiaomei, there are occasional wild beasts on the mountain, you pick wild fruits alone, what should you do if you encounter danger?" Xuan Wei put the porcelain bowl aside and said earnestly.
Xiaomei pursed her lips and said a little stubbornly: "Teacher, I am seven years old this year, not a child!"
Children from poor families are in charge of the family at an early age, and in remote mountain villages like Dashan Village, children as young as seven or eight years old have long helped the family work. For them, going up the mountain to cut grass and wood, digging wild vegetables, etc., is completely commonplace.
Xuan Wei frowned, maybe he didn't feel a backache when he stood up and spoke just now.
"Yes, our Xiaomei is already a little adult!" Xuanwei touched the girl's head.
Compared with children of the same age in the city, Xiaomei is slightly malnourished, not only is her body thin, but she is even a little shorter.
If Xuanwei wanted to touch her head, she had to squat down.
Well, as for why not bend down? Quite simply, when communicating with children who are more autonomous, the most appropriate posture is to be at the same height, not looking down from a high position.
"There are a lot of wild mulberries in the mountains, and you can make a lot of money selling them in the town!" Xiaomei said with a little excitement.
"Xiaomei, are you going to take the wild mulberries you picked to the town and sell them?" asked Xuanwei.
Perhaps it was Xuanwei's squatting behavior that made Xiaomei feel a lot more relaxed, she leaned into Xuanwei's ear and whispered: "Teacher, I'll tell you a little secret, don't tell anyone else!"
Xuan smiled and stretched out his little thumb and said, "Okay, the teacher will hook up with you, and promise not to tell others!"
Xiaomei happily hooked Xuanwei's little thumb and pulled the hook heavily, and then said mysteriously: "Actually, I have asked Uncle Goudan to go to the town in two days, and I can go together!"
Xuan was slightly relieved, he was really afraid that this little girl would run away from the town alone, and there would be dogs with her, at least her safety would be guaranteed.
"Xiaomei, if all your wild mulberries are sold, do you want to buy something?" asked Xuanwei.
"I want to buy a beautiful red dress!" replied without hesitation, gesturing with both hands.
Xuanwei was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "It turns out that Xiaomei, you like red clothes?"
Xiaomei shook her head, her eyes flashed brightly, and she said expectantly: "No, Xiaomei's sister is about to get married, Xiaomei wants to give her sister the most beautiful wedding dress!"
Xuanwei's heart trembled, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Xiaomei didn't stay in the mountains for long, she had to continue to go to the mountains to pick wild mulberries.
"Little Ash, follow secretly, don't let her have an accident!" sighed, and Xuan Wei said to Xiao Ash at his feet.
Ash nodded and immediately followed.
"Supreme Heavenly Venerable, Poor Dao believes that it will be the most beautiful wedding dress in the world!" Xuan Wei muttered to himself.
