Volume 3 Chapter 17 Fat Senior Brother
This chubby Senior Brother Du Xingsun is indeed a relatively interesting person.
As soon as I heard that Zhan Xiu had come here to practice in the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion, he was immediately very enthusiastic, and he fanned his two thick lips and talked without stopping from the beginning, so that Zhan Xiu couldn't interject for a long time, and finally stopped, and Zhan Xiu realized that he didn't listen to a useful sentence, purely to listen to this guy's complaint.
The place of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion is not good, and this conclusion should be drawn from Du Xingsun's mouth, but there is too much nonsense, and I don't know what the truth is.
Du Xingsun was very surprised when he knew that the second level of Zhan Xiu was not directly exempted, and he stared at Zhan Xiu and asked for a long time, and when he heard that it was pure luck, he couldn't help laughing, and then said with some schadenfreude:
"Anyway, since you broke in, it's my junior brother, and thanks to your luck, you got here, it's a good thing!"
Zhan Xiu was obviously not so easy to deceive, looking at the fat man's expression, he knew that there was something wrong here, so he looked Du Xingsun up and down with suspicious eyes, and did not speak.
"Cough, cough ......", the fat man saw that the newcomer was actually quite shrewd, and he was quite unnatural after coughing dryly.
"Senior brother, what do you mean by looking at me like this, this is indeed a good thing...... But...... Ahem, how can I tell you", the fat man rubbed his fat hands, a little hesitant.
"Senior brother, you might as well say it directly, I'm just here, I want to understand the situation, I don't mean anything else, no matter what the news is, my brother will thank you when you hear it", Zhan Xiu said quite sincerely.
When the fat man saw that Zhan Xiu's attitude was so good, he couldn't help but be stunned, his face was slightly red and a little embarrassed, but there were more words.
Xu hadn't seen anyone for a long time, so he couldn't hold it anymore when he opened the talk, and in the blink of an eye, he said a lot of things about the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion with a mouth full of spittle.
"Actually, it's very good here, you see, there are few people, except for the pavilion master who comes occasionally, no one cares about you, you can work if you want to, and you can sleep if you want to......"
"If you want to have a headache and brain fever, you don't have to look for medicine everywhere, the back mountains are full of them, of course you have to be careful, some of them will kill people, poisonous ......"
……
"Senior brother, I heard that there are classics in the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion, are there many books?" , Zhan Xiu finally took a look at the vacancy and interjected to ask.
"Books?" , the fat man was at a loss, "What is a book?" ”
"Uh......", Zhan Xiu couldn't help but blush, how can there be such a thing as a book these days.
"I've never heard of the book you're talking about, but it's a classic, it's there, and it's also ...... in the back mountain."
"Huh?" , really, Zhan Xiu was overjoyed, but when he listened carefully to what the fat man said, he was immediately disappointed.
It turns out that the classics of the so-called Pharmacopoeia Pavilion are just some stone tablets in the back mountain, far from the tortoiseshell animal bones or jade scrolls and silk silk that Zhan Xiu thought, or the jade scrolls and silk silk are piled up in dozens of rooms, which are full of rare books such as the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, Dongxuanzi Yin and Yang Sutra, and Sunu Sutra.
I was hoping that if I was lucky, I would pick a magical ancient book for cultivating immortals and attaining enlightenment, but it seemed that there was no play, and even the martial arts cheats in ancient times seemed to be gone.
What's so nice about a few broken stone monuments?
Zhan Xiu couldn't help but feel frustrated, but when he turned his face, he saw the joy on the fat man's face, and after figuring out the reason, he was speechless for a long time.
No wonder everyone likes to wear it, at least they eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they wear silk and satin, and they go out to carry a sedan chair......
But how did I end up in a primitive society where birds don't?
Primitive society!!
Damn it!
……
This medicine garden was originally taken care of by the fat man, and it was irrigated on weekdays, and there was not much to live, but the garden was too big.
Said to be a garden, in fact, it is simply the whole mountain, except for some that are not needed, most of them have to be watered often to hoe weeds or something, the distance between each is quite far, and the fat man's body naturally climbs up and down to choke enough.
So it took a lot of effort to get a place, so I was naturally very happy to see Zhan Xiuguo, thinking that now I finally have someone to help with the work.
The fat man said that he was so tired that he wanted to die or live, but in fact, he only picked two loads of water every morning and evening, symbolically poured the medicine garden, and when he heard that Zhan Xiu had to pick a full hundred loads every day, he suddenly opened his mouth wide as if swallowing a raw egg.
In addition, fifty loads of firewood were added, and the fat man fainted when he heard it, shook his round head and said:
"You must have offended someone, no new disciple has ever asked for this, even if you haven't taken the test yet."
Zhan Xiu naturally shook his head in ignorance.
The fat man blinked: "You are a new disciple, there is no reason to offend anyone, but now you can bear it!" As he spoke, he looked at Zhan Xiu's eyes full of sympathy.
……
In order to perform better on the first day's mission, as soon as it was dawn, Zhan Xiu rushed to the stream below the mountain with a wooden barrel.
I picked up a load and poured it into the ground, but I found that I was not as tired as the fat man said, and I didn't even sweat a drop.
Thinking of the fat man's fat body, Zhan Xiu slightly understood what was going on, and said that his body has been very strong since he drank snake blood, coupled with several months of meditation, the alternating warm and cool breath is even stronger, and he even feels that the dantian has faint signs of fullness.
So Zhan Xiu finished picking up a hundred loads in one breath without a break, and only then did he feel a little hot all over his body, and it was estimated that less than two hours had passed.
It seems that eighty percent of the fat man originally shouted too much, making the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion really think how difficult this work is, Zhan Xiu looked at the mountain spring not too far away from the medicine garden, and came to such an inference.
The fat man was still asleep in the house, Zhan Xiu smiled when he saw this, and did not wake him up, but took out a stone axe from the corner of the house, and then went straight to the woods on the mountainside.
It took a lot of effort to chop wood at first, mainly because the axe was so bad that it would be about the same if there was a bronze axe.
Zhan Xiu spat into his hand, thought it in pieces, and then picked up his axe and chopped it down on the tree
……
In the blink of an eye, four or five days passed, and Zhan Xiu's work was basically smooth, and he was able to complete the task almost every day, and the rest of the time was pulled by the fat man as a companion.
Finally, on this day, the fat man didn't know where to run, and Zhan Xiu quickly finished the work at hand and was idle.
With nothing to do, he suddenly had a whim, and saw that it was still early, so he no longer rested, and went straight to the back mountain, intending to see what the situation was with these so-called classic stone tablets.
When he arrived at the back mountain, Zhan Xiu couldn't help but be stunned!
