The soup was very light.

It's not that the taste is light, but there is almost no meat, which is equivalent to hot water with a little taste.

Once a practitioner has attained the state of unity, he or she can skip the grains and feed by absorbing the aura of the weather. But now that Xu Lai's body is seriously damaged, let alone absorbing the aura of the weather, he feels extremely difficult to even move and say a few words.

Food is now the only way for him to recover his body.

"I owe you a favor. ”

Xu Lai put down the bowl in his hand, although he barely ate any meat.

The old woman didn't know that Xu Lai was a cultivator, so naturally she had no idea about his "favor". Seeing that Xu Lai drank all the bowls of hot soup, she seemed a little happy. "The dog is left to go out for the assessment, and he should be able to come back today. When she comes back, I'll let her go out and get you some medicine to eat, it should be better, you rest first, I still have some work to do. ”

Only then did Xu Lai know that the old woman did not live alone, but also had a son. But in this small place as big as a palm, the whole house can only fit a bed and a table, and there is a black round object, from which the soup should be boiled......

How can such a place accommodate three people?

Don't forget, Xu Laike slept for seven days, and slept in the only bed. So where did the old woman and her son sleep?

Waited for the dog to come back and waited all morning.

It wasn't until the sun was in the sky that a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl appeared in front of Xu Lai in a hurry. She was so excited that she shouted before she could enter the door, "Mother, mother, I took the first, I took the first ......"

Only then did Xu Lai know that the so-called "dog leftover" turned out to be a local girl with dark skin and a strong small-town atmosphere.

The old woman was weaving straw sandals outside the house. The space in the room was very small, and the light was very dim, Xu Lai was resting here, so she naturally had to leave enough space for him. At this time, I suddenly heard a sound, and my body, which was originally a little immobile, suddenly bulleted.

This day is very memorable for the Gou Yu family, not because Xu Lai woke up, nor because Gou Yu got the first good score in the assessment of the Pingding Army.

Rather, it was because this was the first meeting between the master and apprentice.

In fact, it is precisely because of this encounter that the Gouyu family has gradually transformed from an ordinary farm family into a behemoth engraved on the history books by later historians at the expense of huge ink.

But that's all for later.

said that the dog had returned first, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. Xu Lai saw the child's face through the window that was almost rotten by the rain, he was a little strange, what a young girl, why do you want to call Gou Yu such a name? Of course, Gou Yu did not pay attention to the question of her name now, the girl smiled extremely brightly, after hugging, she spread out her palm, and a few silver dollars shining in the sun were lying in the palm of Gou Yu's hand.

"Hehe, those officers told me that girls can't join the army even if they get the first place in the assessment, but I didn't tell them, and I don't plan to join the army, just get the money anyway. ”

A few silver dollars may be nothing to those dignitaries in the city. But for a farmer like Gouji, it's no less than a windfall.

The old woman was overjoyed, and gave the dog a big hug. Only then did he say, "The guest has woken up, but his body is still very weak, you go to Dr. Xu and give him some medicine to nourish his body." ”

Through the half-hidden door, Gou Yu found that Xu Lai had already woken up, and when he was about to go to get the medicine, Xu Lai spoke.

"Buy some beef, lean. There are also poria fruits, buy a little as well. ”

Beef, of course, is eaten. As for Poria fruit, he needs to recover from his injuries.

Moreover, he doesn't have much time.

The dog's legs were about to be opened, but suddenly stopped. After hesitating for a moment, there was a lot of struggle in his eyes, and he looked at Chen's mother.

Mother Chen rubbed her hands, a little nervous, but she didn't dare to look at Xu Lai. In the end, it was Xu Lai who broke the silence first.

"What's the problem?"

Xu Lai asked.

"Guest, Poria fruit is very expensive. ”

That means obviously, we can't afford it.

In fact, don't look at the fact that Gou Yu got the first reward of a few silver dollars in the assessment of the Pingding Army, for a very poor household like Gou Yujia, the usual monthly expenses only need dozens of copper plates at most.

A few silver dollars is no less than a huge amount of money for their family, and if they just eat beef, it is enough for them to eat more than half a year.

But even then, they can't afford it.

This is also a small town like Sanhe Town, which is located in the buffer zone of the border between the Zhou Dynasty and the Di Huang, in the past, some cultivators have finally come, and the common people have also had some dealings with cultivators. In other small towns, most peasant women like Gou's mother don't know what Poria cocos is.

In the face of such facts, Xu Lai instinctively turned around and touched something. After touching it for a while, he didn't touch it, and then he suddenly remembered that in order to return to Da Zhou alive, he had already lost all the things he could lose, and where would he bring some gold and silver treasures.

Poria fruit will play a very important role in the recovery of his body later. Now his consciousness is almost crippled, so he can only slowly recover by eating, but as time passes, the role of food will become less and less.

This time it was Xu Lai's turn to be silent.

"Then just buy beef. ”

......

......

From Xu Lai's first bite of beef to his successful walking, it took another seven days.

He ate beef for seven days.

As for why he didn't continue to eat beef, of course, it wasn't because he could absorb the aura of heaven and earth to recover from his injuries now, but because the dog was left at home and was eaten poor by him.

Of course, their family was already poor.

Originally, those few silver dollars, if they were used by mother and daughter, it was estimated that they could be used for a year. But now it's only been seven days, and it's all in Xu Lai's stomach. God knows how much he can eat, and his stomach is like a bottomless pit.

Later, when Gou Yu looked at Xu Lai, there was always a bit of horror in his eyes.
