"Xiaoman, you are a girl, why do you always do such heavy work? This kind of chopping wood should be done by Guo Lang. ”

The smoke was curling, Xianglan was cutting bacon, and Xie Xiaoman was adding firewood to the stove on the side.

Hearing Xianglan's words, Xie Xiaoman popped out his head, covered half of his face with cigarette ash, gritted his teeth, and shook white: "I don't feel tired, but I think it's funny." Sister Xianglan, look, aren't my biceps cool? ”

As he spoke, Xie Xiaoman rolled up his arms and sleeves and put on a toned posture.

"Hey! You little girl! Don't touch your clothes if your hands are full of soot, they'll be dirty, and I'll wash them! Xianglan counted, but there was a smile in her eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay, wait for me to wash it myself!"

Xianglan smacked her when she heard this: "You have a virtue with Guo Lang, I don't know how many times I have said this kind of thing, and I have never seen you really go to wash clothes." ”

Xie Xiaoman smiled and added firewood.

When I first met Xianglan, it was at my uncle Xie Anqu's poetry meeting. At that time, Xianglan was just a little maid following behind Xi Feng, but Xie Xiaoman was sensitive to find that Guo Pu, a womanizer, had been sticking to this girl.

The second time she saw Xianglan, Xie Xiaoman's sudden appearance scared her into discoloration. It's tarnished, but it's still beautiful. Xie Xiaoman had to admit that Xianglan was really a beautiful enough girl, and after getting along for a long time, Xie Xiaoman found that her personality was also very good.

It's a shame that a flower is stuck in cow dung.

Cheapened Guo Pu, the money-greedy and womanizer.

But in any case, Guo Pu is a frank person, and he took the initiative to explain the whole story to Xianglan.

How did I meet her, knew her birthday, and how I was in a maze in Xifu, changed my way, and bought Xianglan's identity deed at a very low price.

At first, Pandan was upset when she heard the story. She didn't know how she should face Guo Pu, such a person she had never come into contact with. Such a method is something she can't even think of.

Guo Pu didn't force her, he just dusted the deed of life into dust, and then told her to stay alive and leave, let her choose.

Xianglan secretly thought about it for a few days, and after a few days, she lived a life of no one and no need to serve people.

She has been being sold everywhere as a little maid for as long as she can remember, no matter what kind of master she faces, what she is asked to do is to complete one job after another.

Diving and chopping wood, making beds and folding quilts, whether it is rough work or heavy work, or the enviable personal maid of the master's family, she has done it all.

It's not that I haven't thought about my future life, and the most satisfying thing is probably to be raised as a concubine by the main family. Although it is inevitable to be looked down upon by others, at least it will avoid the suffering of a lifetime.

But now, Guo Pu's birth has suddenly changed her fate. She was suddenly confronted with a life she was not familiar with...... There is no red tape, there is no fight between you and me, there is no tomorrow and today...... Some are just a landscape, a leisurely life of lying on the window to watch the falling flowers when you are sleepy and lazy.

This is a life that Xianglan can't imagine at all, until now, Guo Pu led her out of the original world, and she didn't know that the original world was so vast.

Maybe life is like this, everyone is confined to their own side of the world, thinking that the difficulties they face are equivalent to life and death. can take a step back and see, the heavens and the earth can still last for a long time, and on the scale of hundreds of millions of light years in the universe, those things that make people feel heartbroken, crying, nervous, and even dancing are no longer even small dust.

Xianglan suddenly understood this truth. Maybe it's because of Guo Pu's open-mindedness, or maybe it's because of the immortal energy of Huangshan.

In any case, Xianglan is no longer the short-sighted Xianglan who only knows what is going on in the courtyard.

She stayed, stayed in the Yellow Mountain, and stayed by Guo Pu's side.

She sometimes goes with Guo Pu to pick wild vegetables. Wild vegetables, herbs and other things in the mountains, Guo Pu is very familiar with.

At this time, Xie Xiaoman will also follow, and the three of them will pick wild vegetables and fruits together, playing from time to time, which is very interesting.

Cooking and laundry are all done by pandan. However, many times, Xie Xiaoman and Guo Pu will also come to help, but it is only half the effort.

When you are free, you will take a turn not far from the mountain, and take some of the fabrics that Guo Pu exchanged from the bottom of the mountain to make women's red and shoe soles by the stream stones.

Occasionally, she would follow Guo Pu to the small village at the foot of the mountain to buy some cereals, clothes and fabrics that she eats on weekdays.

When doing these things, Xie Xiaoman sometimes follows and sometimes not.

Xie Xiaoman's expression was still chopping wood and cultivating.

Chopping wood is not only for Guo Pu to refine the pill, but also to cultivate muscles and bones. The practice of one line of practice belongs to the category of dual cultivation of the spirit and body, and it is not the pursuit of soul detachment by abandoning the physical body.

To put it bluntly, this kind of cultivation method is similar to the internal strength in Jin Yong's martial arts. The breath runs in the body every day, and the muscles and bones are the channels through which they operate. The transportation volume that can be achieved at the same time with eight lanes is naturally much more than that of four lanes, and honing your muscles is just to widen the channel.

According to Guo Pu's words, this is called sharpening the knife and cutting wood.

If you are an ordinary person, the most basic way to practice is to chop wood in the morning, vomit in the afternoon, and sleep at night.

But Xie Xiaoman is different.

Her body is very strange, and she can practice while sleeping, and in this way, she has twice as much cultivation time as ordinary people. Even if the qualifications are the same, the cultivation that others can only get after ten years of cultivation, Xie Xiaoman can do it in five years.

Now that half a year has passed, the flames in Xie Xiaoman's body have been cultivated to the size of a basketball, and they are finally no longer what they used to be able to hold with a slap.

"I'm back!"

Guo Pu's voice reached the ears of the two who were cooking, Xianglan put down the kitchen knife in her hand and took the lead in responding, only then did she remember that her hands were full of bacon grease, and she hurriedly wiped it on her apron, and looked at Guo Pu from a distance, affectionately.

Xie Xiaoman looked at this scene with a smile, and he didn't break it, he only rushed up with a pair of paws full of cigarette ash, rummaging through the things Guo Pu brought back: "What delicious food have you bought?" ”

Guo Pu hurriedly avoided a few steps and avoided the tip of his nose: "How many times have I told you, don't pay so much attention to the desire to eat in your cultivation, do you want to cultivate?" ”

"Cut! Don't you still drink every day? Did you buy it this time and bring it back, or did you secretly drink it down the mountain? Xie Xiaoman rolled his eyes, "I'm helping Sister Xianglan to see if you have bought the candied fruit she likes to eat!" ”

"Phew! You also used to say, of course I bought. ”
