Chapter Forty-Three: Try Your Hands

Although Shi Xiao was so seriously injured, I am afraid that a half-dead person can be healed under the recuperation of Juelin. Yuan Yuan was very glad that he met Juelin at that time, otherwise he might not be able to bring Shi Xiao to the sect of Juelin to find him. In Yuanyuan's impression, the most proud protégé of Yuanlin's master is Juelin, one is cultivation, and the other is to reach the strongest realm of the human race by virtue of his human body and step into that realm, even the injuries suffered by Yuanyuan at that time were healed by him.

The air and temperature under the mountain are obviously much better than those on the mountain, but it is true that it is not so hot, and the huge forest covers the foot of the mountain. Shi Xiao has been following the mountain under the stone road, and the stone road has disappeared on this road at some point.

At this time, Shi Xiao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and I am afraid that Shi Xiao was the only one hanging out on such a hot day. The aura had already recovered almost, and Shi Xiao urged the aura to spread the aura perception, and suddenly the objects within a radius of dozens of meters could not escape Shi Xiao's perception.

"I didn't expect this perception range to increase so much!" Shi Xiao sighed.

"The perception is bigger, and the more aura is consumed at the same time, what does this mean?" asked Yuanyuan.

"I'm getting stronger again!"

"Shameless! This shows that you have to practice harder in the future, otherwise you won't be able to open even the most basic aura perception!" said Yuanyuan.

"Ahh This..."Shi Xiao had long been accustomed to Yuanyuan hitting him everywhere, and he didn't say anything.

Rustling...

A small voice sounded, and Shi Xiao's attention was focused. Shi Xiao felt that the person who made the voice was just a beast.

"Now there is a blessing!" Shi Xiao exclaimed. Everyone knows that this beast is a rare species, and only in the eastern empire can it be encountered, and the beasts are all powerful people who can enjoy the Tao, Shi Xiao was lucky to meet a beast.

"I know that the meat of livestock is fat, and it is best to roast it over charcoal, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I Shi Xiao also has this mouthful!" Shi Xiao said in a low voice, for fear of scaring away this mouthful of food.

"That's !!," Yuan Yuan mocked.

With a pillar of incense, Shi Xiao put the beast into the Naling Stone, ready to find a place to have a full meal.

Shi Xiao came to a small stream and disposed of the beasts.

"Yuanyuan, is there a fire?"

"There's no such thing!"

"Uh... I don't seem to have either..."Shi Xiao forgot that his clothes had already changed into the sect, and there was nothing on the clothes he was wearing now. I flipped through the spirit stones in a hurry, and all I found was medicinal herbs and elixirs, as well as a large pile of gold coins.

Now it's okay, there is no fire to eat, at this time, Shi Xiao looked at the corpse of the beast dryly and said, "You can't eat it raw... Forget it, the mountains and forests are so big, I can't make sure there is a master who chops wood, and when the time comes, let's see if he has it, it's really impossible to go back to the sect..."Shi Xiao looked at the road he walked down and shook his head fiercely.

"Let's find a firewood chopping master!" Shi Xiao said firmly.

......

The sound of creaking is particularly clear in the ears on this quiet afternoon. Shi Xiao followed the stone road to a village not far from the foot of the mountain, he didn't expect that there were households at the foot of this Zongmen Mountain, and there seemed to be a lot of residents here. Shi Xiao counted seventeen houses.

"Now there is a blessing..."Shi Xiao swayed into the village with the carcass of the beast.

It was still noon in such a big sun, and the old people in the village were hiding in the shade of the trees in front of their houses to nap, and when they saw Shi Xiao, they just squinted their eyes and swept the side and continued to sleep.

"Excuse me, uncle, can you lend me the flint in your house. Shi Xiao walked to a thatched hut and asked the white-haired old man under the tree in the wooden fence.

"Hmm... Who is this..."The white-haired old man continued to shake the fan that had stopped shaking when he heard Shi Xiao's voice.

"Uncle, I just passed by here, killed a beast, and used the flint to pick up your house!" Shi Xiao shouted at the door.

When he heard the word beast, the white-haired old man stopped shaking his hand with the fan, looked at Shi Xiao's side with wide eyes, and immediately got up and said, "Beast, young man, don't talk big!" After the uncle finished speaking, he walked towards Shi Xiao.

Shi Xiao picked up the cleaned beast and shook it in front of the old man, and blood flowed down the corpse.

"Haha! Lucky boy, come in and sit down. Kun'er and her mother hurriedly poured tea...", the old man shouted towards the thatched house. Then an old woman walked out slowly, and the vicissitudes of time could be seen clearly from her face.

"Dead old man, make a little noise, my grandchildren have just fallen asleep..."The old woman first looked at Shi Xiao, and then turned her face to the white-haired old man angrily.

"Alas, don't say it, don't say it, this young man has just met a beast on the mountain, and wants to borrow a fire from our house, so hurry up and pour tea..."

"Beast, good, good!" said the old woman, with a smile on her face, and at once went into the house.

"Come in, come in!" said the old man.

Shi Xiao looked at the old man puzzled, but everyone else poured tea to entertain him, and he was embarrassed to refuse, so he followed the white-haired old man into the house.

"Do you know how rare this beast is!, and you're probably a three-grade beast!" said the old man, as he walked.

"Hmm, there are still grades of beasts?" Shi Xiao asked.

"It seems that you are a foreigner, young man!" said the old man, sitting on a stool and shaking his fan.

"From the Central Continent..."Shi Xiao sat down on the old man's side and said.

"That's right, this beast itself is very rare, which is divided into ten grades, and the higher the grade, both the meat quality and the nutritional content will be improved. ”

"And that said?"

"That's nature, the grade is very simple, no matter what species of animal is to look at the size, the second is to see the tenderness of the meat after hair removal, the larger the volume, the more delicate the meat after hair removal, the higher the grade. ”

Shi Xiao looked at the beast in his hand, he didn't expect that this small species had ranks.

"Back then, it was by selling this beast that I sent my son to that city to become a petty official..."The old man's eyes showed a look of nostalgia.

After some subtlety, Shi Xiao knew that the old man's son was now working as a patrol commander in a Xinyang City very far away from here, and the two little ones were sent to the old man to escape the summer heat.

Cuckoo~

A voice of dissatisfaction came out, and Shi Xiao suddenly smiled awkwardly.

"Looks like I haven't eaten at noon!

"No need..."

"It's okay, it's okay"

After a while, the simple meal was served, and Shi Xiao looked at the food on the table and swallowed hard.

"Then you're welcome..."After all, he couldn't resist the temptation of food, and the stack of strong muscles in his right sleeve was exposed, and he began to sweep up.

"Slow down, slow down, haha... Kun'er's mother, you don't look like Kun'er was a child... Haha," the old man quipped.

"Haha... Don't say it, it's really quite similar... Slow down the child, eat slowly, there is still in the pot..."The old woman said with a smile.

"What is your name, young man?" asked the old man.

"When... Not... Xiao" Shi Xiao swallowed a mouthful of food and said.

"Shi Xiao, young man, I will discuss something with you..."The old man said suddenly.

"Old man, what do you have to say!" Shi Xiao wiped his mouth and said.

"Can you sell this beast to me, the family doesn't have much money, these days there is a group of people here who say that they can protect us if they give money, so this..."

"Otherwise, I won't take your money, and I will come to you for dinner in the future, and I will give you money. Shi Xiao said. From the old man's words, Shi Xiao knew that if he didn't help, he might not be able to help his conscience.

"This..."

"Fifty gold here, I'll eat at the old man's place in the next few days!" Shi Xiao took out fifty gold coins from the Naling Stone and put them together in a cloth bag and handed them to the old man.

"Ahh

"It's okay, it's okay, the rest of the money should be used as a meeting gift for the two little guys in the house!" Shi Xiao said.

Xiao didn't go anywhere for the whole afternoon, listening to the old man talk about the beasts and the group of people who claimed to collect money to protect the villagers.

The sky gradually sank, and the sun lost its original arrogance and was gradually replaced by a new moon.

Shi Xiao and this big family roasted the beast and ate. After the meal, the two little guys pestered Shi Xiao to tell stories, and Shi Xiao did not refuse, and simplified the things he had encountered before to the two little guys.

"It's getting late, old man, old woman, I have to go back..."

"Then I'll send..."

"What are you going to send? There's a guest at home, don't you say hello?" a man's voice came from outside the fence.

"Look at the kid dressed neatly, it's a big fat meat, boss!" said one of the bucktoothed men in the narration.

Shi Xiao looked out of the fence, and a dark shadow walked towards him.

"Shi Xiao is..."The old man said nervously.

"Old man, wife, you take the children in first..."Shi Xiao said in a low voice. The old man saw that the aura on Shi Xiao's body changed instantly, and he instantly understood something.

"Yo yo yo, what are you going to do, you two old guys don't help to intercede?" The man who took the lead saw that the old man was taking the child and preparing to hide in the grass hut.

"It's okay to go in, this is the person who collects protection money, right?" Shi Xiao asked the old man with his back on his back.

"Yes... You have to be careful!" The old man hurriedly led the child into the hut

"It's okay, it's okay..."

"Boss, this kid ignores us!!" said the bucktooth man angrily.

"yes, it seems that he has to suffer a little..."The man stared at Shi Xiao with vicious eyes. This disabled waste in front of him dares to ignore himself, I am afraid that he does not want to live.

"I advise you to leave obediently, and by the way, hand over all the money you collected to me..."Shi Xiao said coldly. To deal with these people, Shi Xiao could casually play with them without even releasing his aura.

"Yo Yo Yo, she looks pretty fair, but that's what I said, hahaha," the man in the lead laughed.

"Hahaha" A burst of laughter came from the crowd. The old man in the room couldn't help but sweat when he heard this laughter.

"It seems that you are really not afraid of death?" Shi Xiao continued.

Seeing Shi Xiao clenching his fists, those people seemed to be taken aback by this action: "Oh, look at it, a disabled person also wants to compete with Uncle Ben hahaha!" Another burst of laughter came from the crowd.

"Alas, there is no way, let's try your hand today!"
