Chapter 4 Moderation
I don't know how long I slept, but I finally regained some consciousness, and dimly felt that there was someone at hand. I subconsciously put my hand on his head, his hair was a little rough and a little greasy, not the eldest sister nor the second sister, not even my mother or my mother's?
Who is he?
Strangely surprised, I forced my heavy eyelids to open slowly, and turned my head with difficulty to look. Then the man awoke, and he jumped to his feet.
"Brother Jian, you're awake!"
It was such a loud voice that I not only felt my ears ringing, but even the bed seemed to vibrate.
"Erya, don't put energy in the house. The bed is broken, but you have to pay for it. Huh, Erya, you, have you entered the martial arts academy?"
"That's right, they were still in the ancestral hall just now, I heard that Brother Jian was sick, and he came to see you before he even went to the Martial Academy. ”
After speaking, the second girl rolled her eyes, stuck out her tongue at me, and smiled mischievously.
"I don't have any money, I have to die. ”
"Then take Sanya to pay off the debt, and when you have money, redeem her. ”
"Well, well, let's use me to pay off the debt. Give you a pawn wife, and when I have enough money, I will redeem myself. ”
I was shocked by her shouting again, but I was stunned by her unexpected words. But it was like a basin of ice water that drenched me from head to toe, and it cleared my mind and realized what was going on.
"Who taught you?"
Erya's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she sobbed.
"Three months ago, there was a big epidemic in the village, and Sanya was sick, and the big stupid cow was looking for his father...... If you don't give it, you don't give it, and the big stupid cow sold herself to Sanya for treatment. The old man in the village told me that it was called a pawn wife, Brother Jian, can I still see my mother again?
I was startled and immediately sat up and asked Erya: "Erya doesn't cry, answer Brother Long's question." How is Sanya doing now? Aunt Du, who did she pawn herself to?"
"Sanya is fine, the big stupid cow sold himself to the king blacksmith at the entrance of the village. ”
My hanging heart was put down at once, Sanya is fine, as for the blacksmith Wang, he and Aunt Du are childhood sweethearts, and the two of them were broken up alive by that bastard. But although you and I are willing to do this, I can't tell Er Yaming either. Aunt Du was finally able to be with her lover, and I really wanted to congratulate her in person when I had the chance. That bastard now has at least two concubines outside, and he shouldn't be pestering Aunt Du anymore.
Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Erya asked worriedly, "Brother Jian, are you okay?" Erya now has no mother and sister, only you and Aunt Lin. ”
"Why not, Erya, don't cry, Brother Jian and my mother will definitely take care of you." ”
"That bastard divorced his mother, saying that he was ashamed, and he didn't want Sanya. ”
Nan Wu Amitabha, Alilua, Allah Akhba, Aunt Du finally escaped and ascended to heaven.
Erya looked at me suspiciously, and pouted.
"People are worried about Brother Jian, but Brother Jian doesn't care about Erya!"
Hearing this, I didn't say a word, pulled Erya into my arms, hugged her tightly, stroked her dirty hair, and comforted her softly.
"Oh! I promised Sister Rong, you will call her as soon as you wake up! I went to find her, Brother Jian. ”
Looking at Erya who broke free from my embrace and jumped out of my arms, I couldn't help but sigh that she was really an optimist. However, since Erya appeared here, it means that the Spring Examination of the Long family has passed, and Erya has also become a member of the Long family. It's so fast, half a year has passed.
Erya came back soon, and she brought back a large group of people, and my little room was filled up at once. Among them, there is a man of about thirty-five years old who looks plain, has bronzed skin, and his eyes are full of light, but people have to pay attention, he is Long Geng. He walked in with his mother, his two sisters, Dr. Hong, and a few subordinates, his dark face was not angry and could not see any mood fluctuations. Although he restrained his energy and didn't let it out, as soon as he walked into the room, I immediately felt the huge energy that was absolutely unique in Longyi.
Looking at Long Geng, I have mixed tastes, it stands to reason that the higher the energy of the parents, the higher the energy of the children, and the foundation of my entry realm is not bad, and it is even rare. After all, it would be very good to have one person born with the entry realm for every hundred people, and only those born with the entry realm have the opportunity to continue to develop and challenge the higher realm, and only 2-3 people out of every ten people who have reached the entry realm will surpass the initial level of initial energy. However, it is really rare to directly skip the first climb, penetration, and refinement like Erya and directly enter the late stage of the consummation stage, and even go beyond the limit of the entry realm and directly enter the realm of refinement.
However, God has played a big joke on me, no matter how I have cultivated according to the open energy collection basic exercises in the past six months, the energy I can absorb from heaven and earth has always been pitiful, and what is worse is that only half of the energy that I finally absorbed from heaven and earth will be collected into the energy nucleus in my brain and stored, and the remaining half will be hidden and nowhere to be found. This has made me still stay in the introductory realm, and I have never been able to progress, and I can only sigh in vain when I see that I am being pulled further and further away by my peers. Not surprisingly, not counting the two of them who have just entered the martial arts academy, now I am already the one with the lowest energy in the martial arts academy.
I felt sorry for myself, and Dr. Hong, with white hair and wrinkled face but a straight waist, had already reached the head of the bed. I hurried to say hello to everyone, the second sister was most worried that I ran directly to the head of the bed and reached out to touch my forehead, her cute big eyes flickered and were really cute. And Long Geng, who also wanted to come forward, noticed my unfriendly gaze, and chose to stand silently at the end of everyone. In the past six months, I have met him on one hand, and he has been out and killed for a long time, and he is rarely at home.
"Doctor Hong, what's going on with Jian'er?"
Mrs. Xue asked Dr. Hong on behalf of everyone, and Dr. Hong looked embarrassed for a long time before he spoke.
"The illness of the young master of the sword is very strange, the only thing that the old man can be sure of is that the frequency of the coma of the young master of the sword has become lower and lower in the past six months, and it should be developing in a better direction, because although the young master of the sword is in a coma, his physical condition is getting better and better, and the old man dares to guarantee his reputation. In addition, the time of the young master of the sword is actually quite fixed, and each time it will be twice the time before he will fall into a coma. For example, the last coma was less than 4 days from the previous coma, but this time it was almost 8 days. The old man felt that as the young master of the sword grew older, he was afraid that one day he would no longer be in a coma. ”
However, Jian'er's coma time is getting longer and longer, basically doubling each time compared to the previous one. ”
My mother's words made me feel a pang in my heart, my mother's observation is so keen, I really didn't expect that this is the price I have to pay if I want to increase my strength, but should I explain it to my mother?
The old man also noticed that this seems to be consistent with the recovery after the energy is exhausted, the more energetic the person is, the longer the recovery time after the energy is exhausted. But why did this appear on Ling Lang, the old man was also puzzled. Could it be that the little young master of the sword is practicing some kind of exercises?"
Dr. Hong looked at me suspiciously, and I looked back at him with a blank expression.
"Old Master Rong will check on the young master of the sword again, you should avoid it first. ”
I noticed that Long Geng, who stood up at the back, seemed to want to say something at the corner of his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. His big sparkling eyes looked me up and down for a moment, then he turned and was the first to leave.
Dr. Hong closed the door and latched it back to the bed, I stretched out my hand to check his pulse, he shook his head and signaled that he didn't have to, and then sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the roof.
Dr. Hong sat motionless on the edge of the bed, but his face was completely excited, his eyes were full of eagerness, his breathing became very rapid, and he was completely devoid of his previous calmness.
"Doctor Hong, what's wrong with you?"
I cautiously asked, but it was Dr. Hong's turn to ignore me. It was boring, so I had to sit with him like this.
After a short while, Dr. Hong took a sharp breath, the excited look on his face gradually calmed down, his breathing returned to normal, and his eyes became calm and wise again.
"It's been two thousand years, I really didn't expect the old man to see such a miracle again in this last year, the old man has a grandson named Hong Tong, and I want the young master of the sword to show him if he can have such an opportunity as you. ”
Is this old man Hong funny, what does this mean?
"Grandpa Hong, what are you talking about? I don't understand. ”
"This is our Hong family's obsession for more than 2,000 years, and it really shouldn't bother the little young master of the sword. Young Master Jian, you don't have to care, the old man is too excited. Young Master Jian, you want to become stronger, the old man can understand, in this continent of the three talents of the weak and the strong, the strong are respected. However, you are now overdrawing yourself in such a way that you are trading your life for strength. Now you are young enough to hurt your origin, but if you do it again, you will soon hurt your origin. The old man estimates that you will lose at least one year of life every time you fall into a coma in the future, so you must stop when you have a sore body and a fishy throat in the future. When the body has this symptom, the container has been well expanded, and further down not only does it hurt the body, but it also has little effect. This matter, the old man will keep it a secret for you, Young Master Jian, and it is best for Young Master Jian not to tell anyone, including your parents. ”
I was shocked to hear Dr. Hong say this, and I couldn't maintain my composure anymore, obviously he knew what I was practicing. Although I had vaguely felt that he knew something before, I was still surprised by his outbreak.
Doctor Bihong got up and walked straight to the door.
"Doctor Hong, the juniors will visit your house in two days. I would love to see your grandson, Hong Tong. ”
Hearing this, Dr. Hong's body that was about to pull the latch shook suddenly, and then he regained his composure and said while pulling the latch: "Then the old man is waiting for the young master of the sword." ”
Dr. Hong's tone was calm, but I could tell it was full of anticipation. I looked down at the two rings, one black and one white, in my hand, and I couldn't help but gently rub them one by one. These are two big babies, and they're absolutely good things for improving my abilities.
"Mom, your precious son who has traded your most precious jewelry for will definitely use it. Only when this world is strong can it protect everything it cherishes. ”
When the door opened, only my mother came in.
When I got to the bedside, my mother carefully looked me up and down, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that I didn't miss a single hair on my body.
"Jian'er, are you better?"
"Mom, I'm fine, don't you think it's all right?"
As I spoke, I lifted the quilt and moved my hands and feet to show my mother, who quickly pressed me down and pulled the quilt to re-cover me.
"Mom just asks you to be safe, don't scare Mom anymore, okay?"
"I promise you no. ”
Dr. Hong's old man said, I will listen, after all, I am so old and know what to do.
"Don't worry, Mom. I don't feel like I'm going to pass out so inexplicably after this time. ”
"Really? Then mom must go and burn incense to the gods and make a vow. ”
"Really. ”
