If the bandits mentioned by the old farmer are really exterminated by the reserve of the ironclad army, then the real ironclad army that Liu Xiu has seen, they all look like killing machines, and it makes sense.

The so-called reserve battalion is not a good hall, and the people who are cultivated there are not good men and women, but they are cultivating real warriors and teaching them martial arts cultivation, and at the same time, they are also exercising their combat ability!

Liu Xiu thought about it in his heart, maybe the hundred and ten bandits that the old farmer said would also be eradicated by the people of the reserve army.

Looking at the heartfelt smiles on the faces of the surrounding villagers, Liu Xiu knew that the stable environment in the eyes of ordinary people was actually fought by countless people silently with their lives......

Thinking about these things in his heart, Liu Xiu and the old farmer came to a low thatched house soon after.

"Hou Sheng, please sit down, the poor family can only be entertained with a bowl of water, please don't mind, I will bring you what you want immediately" The old farmer introduced Liu Xiu into the house with some restraint and poured him a bowl of water and said, then turned around to find the tobacco that Liu Xiu wanted to sell.

Looking at the house a little, Liu Xiu can only describe it as poor, but such conditions are the norm for most low-level people in this world, and Liu Xiu is not surprised.

Soon the old farmer brought a bundle of yellow-brown tobacco leaves, put it on the table, looked at Liu Xiu expectantly and asked, "Housheng, this is it, do you see if you want it?" ”

Liu Xiu got up and looked, this tobacco was obviously not dried but dried, the color was very different from the golden tobacco leaves in his memory, and when he touched it, the tobacco leaves that had been put for a long time were a little damp, but this was indeed tobacco leaves, and the taste could not deceive him.

After confirming, Liu Xiu looked at the old farmer and smiled: "It's exactly what I want, old man, you weigh how much, I want them all."

"Okay, okay, I'll go and weigh it right away, little brother wait a minute, ......" Seeing that Liu Xiuquan wanted it, the old farmer frowned and smiled, and the wrinkles seemed to be less, so he immediately turned around and left to find the scale.

After the old farmer left temporarily, Liu Xiu looked at the tobacco again, and on the premise that there was no other choice, this obviously inferior tobacco leaf was also his only choice.

Soon the old farmer came and weighed it, and after weighing, the tobacco leaves totaled two catties and three taels, and Liu Xiu went out with the tobacco leaves after paying.

"Son, go slowly, if you still need it, just come to the old man and me, there are actually some at home" The old farmer sent Liu Xiu out of the door and said solemnly, trying to sell his own things in the hope of making more money.

"Old man, go back quickly, I'll go first, if I need to, I'll come to you" Liu Xiu smiled and turned to leave.

Later life, little brother, son, a very small transaction, the old farmer tasted the benefits, and changed his title three times, not that he is very philistine, after all, this is human nature, under the premise of no friendship, who will greet people with a smile for no reason?

Leaving the village, Liu Xiu came to a camping spot that was a few kilometers away from the village.

Putting things down, he looked at the tobacco he bought, pondered for a moment, and immediately got busy.

This damp tobacco can't be used directly, he has to make a fire to bake it, and then crush it and roll it up with paper to try it after drying, the taste he has no hope, and he thinks it should be better than learning adults to smoke cigarettes with paper when he was a child......

The fire was quickly lit, and Liu Xiu spread out the tobacco leaves and roasted them by the fire, and estimated that it would be about the same in an hour.

However, he had other things to do while he was in this time.

Taking out a hundred or so seedlings from the basket, he decided to go back to the mountains and plant them and come back, so that there would be no shortage of them in the future, and not much time would be wasted at his speed.

"I have to do it as soon as possible, I don't know how many of these seedlings will be left when I return to the mountains, so let's take them back as completely as possible......

Muttering to himself, Liu Xiu hid the back basket containing thousands of gold coins, this place is remote, and it is already dark, so no one should come in a short time.

Then, Liu Xiu looked around carefully, and after confirming that there was no one, he stripped himself naked, carefully protected the tobacco seedlings in his arms, stepped on it hard, the air hummed, a sonic boom cloud spread, and others had already stepped on the night and swept through a wave of air visible to the naked eye and disappeared into the distance!

Temporarily returning to the mountain to plant seedlings, of course he wants to return as soon as possible, after all, he still has to come back to see the roasted tobacco leaves, hesitation is night, he is also walking in a deserted place, but he is not afraid of too much movement to attract attention.

He roughly estimated in his heart that it was more than 1,000 miles from the mountains to Linbian Village, dozens of miles from Linbian Village to Qingliu Town, more than 100 miles from Qingliu Town to Linjiang City, and only more than 100 miles from Linjiang City here, all of which add up to far less than 2,000 miles.

Compared with using the surrounding wind to 'flutter and slow down', in fact, Liu Xiu prefers the feeling of rapid progress, sonic boom clouds roaring, air waves rolling, and the wind blowing in his face, this is the romance that belongs to men alone, so it is not unreasonable that so many people once liked 'drag racing'......

Liu Xiu didn't know how fast he was, after all, he couldn't measure it, but the surrounding scenery was rapidly retreating, and if someone else came, he was afraid that his sight and thinking would not be able to keep up with his terrifying speed.

Rumble~!

A roar echoed in the mountains, and the sonic boom cloud gradually disappeared, and Liu Xiu once again returned to the mountain where he had been away for a few days, slowing down, and the surrounding air currents surrounded him and drifted towards the bamboo tower.

"Huh?"

Before the person landed in the bamboo building in the air, Liu Xiu subconsciously wondered.

He had a wide vision from a high place, although it was night, but the bright moon hung high and his vision was not affected much, just now he seemed to see a black shadow in the hot spring above the snowy mountain flickering.

"Someone seems to be there? But it doesn't make sense, who would come here if nothing is wrong in this vast mountain? Isn't it dazzling? ”

Puzzled, Liu Xiu simply walked towards the hot spring with a light tap after landing on the bamboo building, but when he arrived here, there was no abnormality, and there was no trace on the surrounding ice and snow surface.

Is it really dazzling?

Liu Xiu scratched his head and muttered to himself, at this moment, there was a huge movement from the side of the lake, he turned to look, and found that it was the neighbor who stretched out his huge body and was looking at his side, and after a glance, he slowly sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared, as if he understood that the movement here was made by Liu Xiu before, so he didn't care.

"The neighbors didn't react unusually, it seems that I was really dazzled before......"

Shaking his head, Liu Xiu no longer bothered about this matter, returned to the bamboo building in a slippery manner, and then went to the field full of fruit trees with a hoe to plant tobacco seedlings.

Although Liu Xiu tried his best to protect the seedlings when he came back along the way, most of them were still torn apart at that speed, and he quickly planted the remaining dozens of seedlings.

Looking around, although he had been gone for a few days, there were no weeds in the field, which was obviously due to the swarm.

There was no intention of alarming the bee colony in the mountains, after all, Liu Xiu had to go back immediately, but the big tiger came running around, Liu Xiu rubbed its head, and told it to take care of its home and not go to the bamboo building, and then Liu Xiu put down the hoe and left again.

This time he came back and left again in less than ten minutes.

Soon after, Liu Xiu returned to the place where the basket was placed, although no one saw him, he still got dressed as soon as possible, and it didn't take too long, and the bonfire was not extinguished even after one came and went.

The damp tobacco leaves were almost baked, Liu Xiu came to the fire and picked up a piece, carefully roasted it on the fire until it was crispy, then crushed it, took out a piece of paper from the back basket and tore off a small piece and wrapped it, and a 'small horn' was made.

Although this is not a cigarette in the real sense, Liu Xiu has vaguely smelled the smell that he once was familiar with, after all, he used to be wide, there was a large group of people watching him eat, and the mall was walking on thin ice, he had to be careful every day for fear of making a mistake, and at that time, a stick would undoubtedly relieve stress and refresh himself.

Smoking is harmful to health, this is certain, and can even lead to a variety of serious diseases, and smokers are more aware of these dangers than non-smokers.

"It stands to reason that I've been quitting this for almost a year......"

Thinking so in his heart, Liu Xiu put the small horn in his hand on the fire and lit it, and then closed his eyes and took a sip with a feeling of nostalgia for the taste of the past.

The next moment, Liu Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were wide, his face was red, and his eyes were bloodshot.

cough cough cough ...... cough cough cough ...... cough cough cough ......

Immediately after that, he coughed loudly with smoke from his mouth and nose, and even coughed so much that he couldn't straighten his waist, coughed so much that tears and snot flowed, and even nausea and retching......

It took about ten minutes before he gasped and felt better, his red eyes beating his chest, and he didn't dare touch the half-lit 'little trumpet' that he threw aside.

"It's so uncomfortable, it's terrible!"

Looking at the small horn that was still burning, Liu Xiu said with palpitations.

Just now he only took a small bite, but he was choked so much that life and death were worse than death, his stomach was churning and he was nauseous and retching, but he didn't dare to try a second bite.

What is this? Quitting smoking? Or is this kind of thing out of my way from now on?

Liu Xiu was a little dumbfounded.

It stands to reason that now he has a non-human physique, let alone a puff of cigarettes, it should be no problem to smoke a pack of cigarettes at the same time, but the problem is that after he took a puff before, he felt that it was worse than life and death, as if a person who had never smoked before suddenly came to take a puff, no, it was even a hundred times more uncomfortable than a person who smoked for the first time!

He never thought that smoking was such an uncomfortable thing, it was not because of inferior tobacco leaves and vulgar 'little trumpets', but because his body couldn't accept it, which Liu Xiu clearly felt.

"What is this? Could it be that practicing self-cultivation is actually the evolution of the life level, so that the instinctive and strong rejection of cigarettes is a harmful substance? But why is the wine okay? Could it be that because wine is food, it's okay? ”

Looking at the tobacco leaves spread out by the fire with a complicated expression, at this moment, Liu Xiu realized that what was the use of asking for these things?

He really didn't dare to try it a second time, it was really worse than death......
