Chapter 4 Stewed Xiao Wu in an iron bucket
At dawn the next day, the couple found an iron bucket out of nowhere and put it in the middle of the courtyard, and then all kinds of unknown things and water were put into the bucket.
The woman brought firewood, and after half an hour or so, the liquid in the bucket began to boil.
The man lifted Xiao Wu out, stroked Xiao Wu's face with his hand, and put Xiao Wu's whole person into the iron bucket, and even his head was submerged in the water.
Halfway through, the man brought Xiao Wu out a few times, added a few more things, and cooked for two or three hours in a row, Xiao Wu's body was red like an apple, but the husband and wife still had no intention of stopping.
"Brother Tian, that little girl from the Tang family is here, do you want her to come in?"
The man threw away a few more things, turned around and walked out of the yard, just in time to meet Tang Xiaoya, who came over.
"Uncle Feng, I'll take a look at Xiao Wu, how is he doing now?"
Tang Xiaoya thought that Xiao Wu was injured for herself, and she felt very guilty, although her grandfather had promised that she would not even leave a scar, she still brought some tonics.
"Xiao Wu is still unconscious, but the wound is recovering, and there should be nothing wrong. ”
Xiao Ya saw that the man had been standing at the door, so he didn't mention going in again, and after leaving the medicine he brought, he left after explaining the dosage and leaving.
"This girl is good. When the man returned to the courtyard, he said to the woman with something in his hand.
Hearing this, the woman also raised the corners of her eyebrows slightly: "This girl is very good, and she is also likable." ”
This cooking was cooked until the evening, and neither of them ate, but they had no intention of stopping. The man threw a few sticks of firewood into it, and said softly to the woman: "Wanjun, you go to rest, and I will guard at night." ”
The woman did not insist, nodded and went into the room.
The man didn't throw anything into the barrel again, just looked after the fire, occasionally lifting Xiao Wu up for breath.
The fire burned for three days and three nights, and Xiaoya came again, didn't enter the yard, left a small bottle of things and went back. Lu Yi and Li Hu also took a trip when they learned that Xiao Wu was injured, and left a chicken, saying that it was stewed soup to replenish their bodies.
By the morning of the fourth day, the dark liquid in the barrel had slowly become lighter, first dark red, and then pale red. The man's face was happy, while constantly handing the firewood, while paying attention to the changes in the bucket, and when the color in the bucket turned black again, the man lifted Xiao Wu, put it in the wooden basin prepared by the woman next to him to wash it, and then carried Xiao Wu into the room.
For four days, Xiao Wu showed no signs of opening his eyes, but the husband and wife didn't seem to be worried.
It wasn't until the crescent moon rose that Xiao Wu opened his eyes in a daze.
"What's wrong with me, I'm so tired. Xiao Wu struggled to open his eyes, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was on his bed.
The man noticed that his son was awake, went to the bedside to investigate, and said, "Get up and soothe your muscles." ”
"Oh. Xiao Wu jumped out of bed and stretched his body, and with this movement, he only felt infinite power burst out from his limbs, and it seemed that the whole person was floating.
The man suppressed the energetic Xiao Wu and said follow me. Xiao Wu hurriedly changed his clothes and kept up. The man went all the way out of the city, Xiao Wu followed, and the guards did not stop him. The man walked faster and faster, and it was a few feet away in one step, Xiao Wu began to run, surprised by the great changes in his body, more than twice as fast as before, but he was able to keep up.
The two of them came to a valley one after the other, and by the moonlight, Xiao Wu recognized this valley as the place where he had been unconscious before. The inexplicable intimacy in his heart reappeared, and Xiao Wu looked at his father suspiciously.
The man didn't speak, he pulled Xiao Wu to the mountain wall of the valley, stretched out and touched the rock, and the palm of his hand was slightly bright. Xiao Wu only felt a blur in front of him, and then it was pitch black, and a faint coolness came.
"Don't be afraid, come with me. ”
The man took Xiao Wu's hand and walked unhurriedly, reminding Xiao Wu to pay attention to his feet from time to time. Xiao Wu also followed suit, although the man reminded him, he still couldn't help but step on a few feet empty, but fortunately, the man grabbed it and didn't turn his heels.
After a few rounds, the front was a little bright, Xiao Wu could see the road under his feet clearly, and the man would no longer remind him. The deep cave is very quiet, and the sound of footsteps, breathing, and water droplets at this moment are intertwined in Xiao Wu's heart, rendering a lonely atmosphere.
The cave is not very long, but it was too dark before, so I walked slowly, but now there was light, Xiao Wu's steps were faster, and the intimacy in his heart was stronger.
A pillar of light connecting the upper and lower stone walls was reflected in Xiao Wu's eyes, like a stalactite pillar, the whole body was white, scattering light, and the light source came, and there was a golden sword shadow in the middle that kept rising and falling.
Xiao Wu touched the stone pillar and felt the joy of the sword shadow in it. Xiao Wu was a little overwhelmed and looked at the man in confusion.
The man knew that his son had doubts in his heart, and said, "This sword shadow has been with you since you were born, but a lot of things happened at that time, so I sealed it here. There are some things you ask, and I won't say. Let the past pass, and living is more important than anything else. You have enlightened early, there are things you can tell you, don't mention it to outsiders, otherwise you ......"
The man didn't continue, a look of pain flashed across his face.
Xiao Wu bowed his head and was silent, what happened today kept impacting him, leaving him at a loss. After a long time, he looked up at his father: "Why did we leave the family, who are they?
The man touched the young man's head, and after a while, he said with a smile: "Our clan was born sealed and can cultivate, but the true yuan is bound in the body and cannot be manifested, so we take the path of refining the body." Until there was an ancestor, named Feng Yunxiong, with the capital of the sky, a hundred years of work, to create a secret method to control the seal, after several generations of perfection, become the glorious foundation of our clan. Later, something happened, and the clan did not have one out of ten, and lived in seclusion. But some people still haven't forgotten us, and this secret method must not be revealed. ”
The man's finger pressed on Xiao Wu's eyebrows, and Xiao Wu only felt that his head was buzzing, as if it had exploded, and he squatted on the ground motionless. After a while, Xiao Wu found that there were a lot of things in his head, except for a little dizziness, no longer a headache.
At this time, the stone pillar was magnificent, I don't know what the man did, the whole cave seemed to have a sun, Xiao Wu squinted his eyes and still felt dazzling.
With a sound of "Zheng", the brilliance faded, leaving only a soft light, flying up and down around Xiao Wu. Finally, at eye level with Xiao Wu, in Xiao Wu's voice, the sword light dissipated at the center of Xiao Wu's eyebrows, Xiao Wu's mind moved, and reappeared, and at the same time, his body seemed to become tired, and his head was slightly dizzy.
I wonder if I can fly like Xiao Ya? Xiao Wu felt that the sword light was like an arm, supporting his body and slowly floating up under his own thoughts.
The man looked at his son like this, and he didn't speak, as if he was watching a play.
"Ahh
With a bang, Xiao Wu sat on the ground with his buttocks, although it didn't hurt, he scared himself.
"Let's get out. ”
The man looked at his son's appearance, thinking that he should have had enough, and pulled Xiao Wu outside.
Xiao Wu suddenly jumped up and said excitedly: "Father, I can see the road!"
The man was a little surprised, glanced at his son, and found that there was a faint shadow of a sword in Xiao Wu's bright eyes!
