Zuo Shaoyang was anxious and hugged her: "What are you going to do?" Are you going to leave me? ”

Xiao Yunfei said: "Yes! I come to see you every day at dusk for an hour, and I leave before dark. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"You only see one hour a day?" Zuo Shaoyang was disappointed.

"That's a lot." Xiao Yunfei kissed him, "Be obedient, otherwise, I will only come to see you once in two days!" ”

"No, no!" Zuo Shaoyang was anxious, "I'll just listen to you." So where do you live? ”

"You don't have to worry about that. Cultivators have to rely on themselves for food and shelter, so I won't do the rest for you, you have to hunt and eat by yourself. ”

"That's fine."

"It's up to you to build a house!"

"If you don't live with me, what are you doing in a house? Just have a hammock. Set aside time to practice. ”

"That's fine, it's getting dark now, I'm leaving, I'll see you tomorrow evening."

After that, Xiao Yunfei gently broke free from his embrace, kissed him, got off the rock, waved his hand, and disappeared into the dense forest.

Zuo Shaoyang was stunned, got off the rock, found a few trees next to each other in the dense forest and tied the hammock, and when he came, the dry food and beef prepared were already about to be eaten. There is only one last bit left, which is enough for this meal. Starting tomorrow, we'll have to find a way to eat.

After eating, Zuo Shaoyang began to meditate until it was completely dark, and then went to sleep in a hammock.

The next day, he walked on the fifth watch as usual and began to cultivate.

Two hours later, after the cultivation was completed, Zuo Shaoyang sat blankly, not knowing what to do next.

After thinking about it, I decided to hunt first and prepare my food. There was not much water in the kettle, so he decided to go in the direction of the small village, hunting on the way, and when he got to the village, he bought a bucket to hold water, otherwise the gourd would only have enough water to eat for a day. The water source is halfway up the mountain, and it takes at least an hour to come and go. It's too much work.

He took his bow and arrows, carried his sword, and began to walk in the direction of the small village.

The bow and arrow he used was a crossbow, and he had learned how to use it before he came, and he practiced many times along the way, so it was not difficult to use, and all kinds of wild animals in the depths of the forest were not afraid of people, and he could get close to release his arrows. It didn't take much effort for him to shoot two hares. It was enough to eat, and with the hare in his hand, he reached the village at noon.

He went to a farmer's house, where only an old woman was sitting in the yard sewing clothes.

The courtyard door was open, Zuo Shaoyang stood at the door, and arched his hand: "Old man, can you sell me a pair of buckets?" I am a Taoist cultivator on a nearby mountain. ”

The old woman raised her eyes and looked at him: "Okay, you wait, I'll get it for you, we have two pairs of buckets at home, let's give you a pair." ”

"I'm going to give money."

"No, I make it myself at home, it doesn't cost anything, it's old anyway." The old woman said, pushed the door into the house, carried a pair of buckets and a flat pole out, and handed them to Zuo Shaoyang.

Zuo Shaoyang thanked her again and again, and handed her a hare in his hand: "Old man, I hit two rabbits on the road, give you one." ”

The old woman was very happy: "Oh, good, this hare is so fat, it's so good, my daughter-in-law is confined, and she will make up for him." - This rabbit doesn't raise fire, does it? My daughter-in-law has a fever. ”

"Oh? I know how to heal, so I'll treat her, right? Zuo Shaoyang was very grateful for the eldest lady's enthusiasm and took the initiative to propose.

When the old woman heard this, she said happily: "Great! We are too far away from the city, and my son has gone out to buy and sell again, and no one has sent him to the city, so if you can help to cure the disease, then I really want to thank you. ”

As she spoke, the old woman led Zuo Shaoyang into the house, opened the curtain of the inner room, and said inside: "Girl, there is a Taoist who understands medicine, and he said to treat you well." ”

"Oh-"

A faint voice came from inside.

Zuo Shaoyang stretched out his hand to pick up the door curtain, and found that the door curtain was very old and very thick, and it fell to the ground. can afford to buy silk quilts, and the family should have a relatively good family background in the village.

When I entered the house, I immediately felt that the room was hot, and when I looked up, I saw a woman lying on a clay kang, covered with a thick and worn silk quilt. He also had a thick towel wrapped around his head. There is a swaddling baby next to it. The windows are also hung with thick curtains.

Zuo Shaoyang frowned and said, "Why is this room covered so thickly?" The wind is not permeable at all, and on such a hot day, it is strange that it is covered with such a thick quilt and does not heat up. Hurry up, open the window! ”

The old woman hurriedly stopped: "Don't! Dao Chief, my daughter-in-law is still in confinement and can't see the wind. ”

"I can't see the wind and I don't understand it this way, I don't breathe at all, and I cover it with such a thick quilt, I have to cover my illness even if I don't get sick. Quickly open the windows and remove the curtains to let the room breathe. Listen to me, I'm a medical student. If you continue to cover it like this, it will really cover people up. ”

The woman had been covered to death, and she couldn't wait for this sentence, so she hurriedly said to her mother-in-law; "Mother, just listen to this Taoist elder."

"Well......" The old woman hesitated for a moment, then agreed, and took the thick curtain from the window, the curtain from the door, and the thick quilt with a thin quilt. He also opened the door and opened a window.

The woman took a few breaths of pleasure: "It's so comfortable." ”

Zuo Shaoyang then took a stool and sat down to check the pulse, looked at his tongue, asked about the condition, and found that it was a case of white tiger soup, and he had to sweat to reduce the fever. "Is there a pharmacy in the village?" ”

"Nope."

Zuo Shaoyang was a little embarrassed, his outpatient box was on the top of the mountain, if he wanted to go back to get it, he would go back and forth, and he would go at night, it was too dangerous to walk in the forest at night. It will have to be postponed until tomorrow.

Just thinking about it, the woman said, "Mother, I want to drink water." ”

The old woman hurriedly brought a cup of hot water.

The mother shook her head and said, "I don't drink hot, I want to drink cold water." ”

"How can this work?" The old woman complained with a straight face, "You are in confinement, how can you drink cold?" ”

When Zuo Shaoyang heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he thought of a way, and asked the woman, "Do you want to drink cold water?" ”

"Well, it's better to be the cool one that just came up from the well."

"Okay, I'll go to the well and fetch you."

The old woman was taken aback: "Dao Chief, don't do it, she is confined, she can't touch cold things, she will sit down and get sick." ”

Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile: "She is now a patient, sick, and feverish, and the prescription for her fever is cold water." ”

"What? Can cold water also heal diseases? ”

"Yes! It is not necessary to use medicine to cure diseases, as long as the method is appropriate, even cold water can cure diseases. Listen to me! ”

The mother was very happy: "Yes, yes! Just listen to the long man, mother. ”

The old woman heard Zuo Shaoyang say so sure, so she agreed. Zuo Shaoyang fetched a bucket of water from the well in the courtyard and scooped a scoop for the pregnant woman to drink.

The mother drank the ladle of water in one go. wiped his mouth and said, "It's so comfortable!" ”

The old woman looked at her worriedly.

Zuo Shaoyang said to the woman: "Wait a while, your whole body will tremble, tremble, and then you will sweat, and when the sweat is over, your illness will be cured." ”

Sure enough, just a moment later, the mother trembled all over her body and trembled. The old woman was frightened and asked Zuo Shaoyang what was going on?

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Don't worry, I already said just now, this is a normal phenomenon, this is called war sweat to solve." When she shivered, she would have a fever, and then she would sweat, and the illness would be cured. ”

Hearing Zuo Shaoyang's words, the old woman and the mother were at ease, so they waited for a fever. Strange to say, after a meal, the mother stopped shivering, began to have a fever, and after a while, she sweated, and her forehead, palms, and soles of her feet were sweaty.

After sweating profusely, when I touched the mother's forehead, it was really normal, there was no fever, and the person was in good spirits.

The old woman and the mother were pleasantly surprised, and said that Zuo Shaoyang was really a miracle doctor. A scoop of cold water can cure the disease, which is really powerful.

The old woman was very grateful to Zuo Shaoyang, and she had to help him cook the hare, and take it up the mountain to eat it after it was ready. Zuo Shaoyang agreed.

The old woman's cooking skills are still good, and her movements are also very quick, and she quickly made a rabbit, put it in a basket made of bamboo strips, gave it to Zuo Shaoyang, and told him to come to the village often in the future, and he could help him cook and stir-fry vegetables and bring them back to the mountains.

Zuo Shaoyang agreed, carrying a bucket, crossbow arrows, and a large bag of food, and left the village.

He came to the quiet river, fetched two buckets of water, and returned to the top of the mountain with his hand.

Of course, the road is still very long, and the climb is also very difficult, and it took a lot of effort to climb to the top of the mountain, and there were countless rests on the way. When I reached the top of the mountain, I was drenched in sweat. The handful of water also drank the small half bucket.

Zuo Shaoyang ate fried rabbit meat.

At dusk, Xiao Yun flew in, she seemed to be hiding behind a big tree, and as soon as she turned around, she appeared in front of him.

Zuo Shaoyang hugged her happily and wanted to kiss her, but was blocked by her delicate and delicate twing. Her nose snorted: "You ate meat?" ”

"Yes! Cultivators can eat meat. Zuo Shaoyang was a little strange.

"I didn't say this, there are condiments in the meat you eat, and it's fried in a pan."

"Of course it's fried, it's fragrant. - You have a very smart nose, you can smell it. ”

"You didn't bring a pot, where did you fry it from?"

"It's in the village. I went to the village to buy a bucket, and I caught two hares on the way, and there happened to be a woman who was sick, and I cured her, and the old lady thanked me, so she helped me fry the rabbit meat and brought it back. What, is there something wrong? ”

Xiao Yunfei sighed: "Alas, do you know why you want to cultivate in the deep mountains? It's about you doing your own thing. If you don't do it, go to the village and let others do it, then what are you still cultivating in the mountains? Why don't you go home, isn't it convenient for everything? ”

Zuo Shaoyang sneered and said, "Okay, I'll do it myself in the future, just don't go to the village." ”

Xiao Yunfei showed a smile on his face, hugged his neck, and kissed him.

Zuo Shaoyang took the opportunity to kiss back, wanting to do with her what both men and women in love do. But this time, he was pushed away by Xiao Yunfei.

Zuo Shaoyang looked at her suspiciously: "Yun Fei, what's wrong?" ”

"What your senior brother said, during the cultivation period, you can't get close to women, so although I come to see you for an hour every day, you can't kiss me anymore, otherwise it will affect your cultivation."

Zuo Shaoyang said in a sullen voice: "I don't even let you kiss, so what's the point." ”

Xiao Yunfei affectionately held his arm and said, "When your cultivation is over for a month, I will let you kiss as you like, and I will do whatever you want me to do, except for the matter of husband and wife." It's always okay, right? ”

Zuo Shaoyang said happily: "Really? Anything goes? ”

Xiao Yunfei nodded shyly.

"That's good!" Zuo Shaoyang said happily, "Then you come to see me for an hour every day, we can't be intimate, what are we doing?" ”

"You're with me just to be intimate? Hum! Xiao Yunfei said angrily.

"I don't talk much, and there's no one around."

"I've already thought about it, I can teach you some martial arts, and you can use it when you're free."

"Okay."

At that moment, Xiao Yunfei began to teach him a set of boxing techniques.

Zuo Shaoyang had never learned martial arts before, and his basic skills were poor, especially Xiao Yunfei's kung fu was more focused on light skills, so it was even more difficult to learn. So it's hard to learn. Fortunately, the two of them taught boxing and learned boxing to pass the time, and there was a lot of time, so there was no need to worry.

When it was dark, Xiao Yun flew away. didn't let Zuo Shaoyang kiss her again. Zuo Shaoyang had no choice but to smile bitterly and watch her go away.

In the early morning of the next day, I practiced and meditated as usual. It's dawn, and it's done.

What do you do the rest of the time? Since there is nothing to do, it is better to build a thatched house to shelter from the wind and rain.

He didn't learn to build a house, but a simple thatched house can still be done, he chose a relatively flat grassland, cut a few bowl-sized trees with a firewood knife, dug a few pits in the ground, drove the stump into it, cut the bark and rubbed the rope, this was when he was in Hezhou, they were trapped on the top of the mountain, Miao Peilan once taught him.

And he cut the ropes, and put the trees that were the beams of the house on the branches, and tied them with ropes, and then cut the branches of the trees horizontally and vertically and covered the roof, and cut the long thatch back, and put them in the branches, and put them on the roof as tiles, and erected them around as walls. It also makes a door made of tree branches to ward off wild beasts.

When Xiao Yun flew in the evening, a small thatched house had already been built.

Xiao Yunfei looked at the thatched house in surprise: "This is what you built?" ”

"Of course, this deep mountain and old forest, not who else can I be."

"I can't see it, your house-building skills are really good. Have you built a house before? ”

"Haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run?"

"That's right."

In the next hour, Xiao Yunfei continued to teach Zuo Shaoyang boxing.

When it was dark, Xiao Yunfei left again, this time giving him a kiss as a reward.

Because there is no bed yet, Zuo Shaoyang can only sleep in the hammock in the house.

With the soundproofing of the house, the sounds in the forest at night are much quieter, and I can sleep soundly.

The next day, the rabbit meat brought back from the village was eaten, and after Zuo Shaoyang finished practicing, he went out hunting with a crossbow and a knife.

This time he was lucky to have met a roe deer!

This roe deer grew up in the dense forest, he had never seen anyone, he didn't know how to be afraid, Zuo Shaoyang almost shot a strong crossbow against its head. The roe deer fell in response, Zuo Shaoyang carried the roe back, peeled the skin, cut the roe deer meat into strips, soaked it in salt water, wore it on the branches, and raised it for barbecue.
