Chen Xiao closed his eyes and digested the memories of this life.

He groped in his memory, and at first he thought he was back in the ancient Zhou Dynasty of China, but later he found out that it was not at all. Although the customs and solar terms here are similar to those of ancient China, the historical dynasties of the past are not any of the dynasties he is familiar with, and the surrounding geography is also very different. What's even more amazing is that there is still a kind of vitality in this world, and the people here can strengthen their physical bodies by cultivating martial arts vitality, and they can even move mountains and reclaim the sea when they practice to a high depth, and they can do anything.

Cultivating martial arts is expensive.

Pills, martial artists, weapons, cheats, etc., are all bought with money, so the poor people in this world can't afford to practice martial arts, and even if they do, they can't go anywhere, so there is a saying that poor scholars and rich learn martial arts. But if you want to go up, you have to do martial arts.

The founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a warrior in the Creation Realm, powerful and incomparable, and the ministers above the court were all warriors, even the head of the Li family, although he was a businessman, was also a powerful warrior in the Silver Bone Realm.

Martial arts is divided into great realms such as quenching the body, silver bones, and blood movement, and each realm is divided into ten heavens, and every step of cultivation is very difficult, and talent, luck, and diligence are indispensable.

In this world, human life is like grass mustard, and people are as cheap as ants, and learning martial arts is more fundamental to establishing one's life.

"Huh? What is it? When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly noticed a long strip at the bottom of his field of vision, red, as if it contained liquid. On the long bar is an empty square, which looks like the status bar of an online game.

However, at this time, the red status bar is in a very low capacity, less than one-tenth of the full state.

Chen Xiao studied for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason, and wondered: "What the hell is this?" ”

After experimenting a few times, Chen Xiao found that this status bar changed with the change of his mind, as long as the thought of "disappearing" appeared in his mind, this status bar would naturally disappear, but he didn't know if others could see it.

Just when Chen Xiao was still thinking nonsense, the door of the room opened.

A middle-aged woman walked in, dressed as a country woman, with dark skin and an ordinary appearance, and walked to Chen Xiao's bed with a food box.

When he got closer, Chen Xiao found that the woman's eyes were still red.

In my memory, this woman is her biological mother, Liu.

Liu: "Son, my mother made my favorite almonds."

This kung fu is to take a breath and purely use the power of the flesh to run rampant like a wild bull, simple and rough, through impact, beating to temper the flesh, is a very low-level martial arts.

Chen Xiao made a starting gesture, and then did not move for a long time.

He thought for a while before he threw a punch, but when this punch was struck, his whole body was a little unsteady on his feet, and he almost fell.

In his last life, he has been studying for more than ten years, and Chen Xiao has never seen a physical education teacher a few times, and he has never touched the barbell or basketball. It would be really difficult for him to grasp the essence of a set of boxing techniques after peeking for a while.

Those agile and powerful fist techniques in the hands of others are now displayed in Chen Xiao's hands, just like a drunken Wang Ba, who has not mastered even the essence at all.

Chen Xiao stiffened, opened his fist, and continued to punch. This time is much better than the last time, at least it's not crooked, and it's standing firm.

After punching again, Chen Xiao then fought again. If any martial artist saw this Chen Xiao boxing, his face would definitely be terrifyingly dark, and the martial arts talent of this person in front of him was really outrageously low.

After a normal ordinary person learns boxing and learning it once, he can basically play the true meaning of the seven-seven-eighty-eight boxing method, but after Chen Xiao has fought ten times in a row, he is still not good.

In fact, Chen Xiao can't be blamed for this.

People who study martial arts generally have a good family background, and they have been taking medicinal baths to refine their muscles and bones since they were children, and Chen Xiao's body has been a little malnourished since he was born, and it is not easy to play decent boxing techniques.

However, it can also be seen from these aspects that Chen Xiao's martial arts talent is really ordinary, and there is nothing surprising about it.

Martial arts, martial arts.

Chen Xiao muttered in his heart, and couldn't help but practice his boxing more diligently. In this world, only by practicing martial arts can you get ahead, and poetry and songs are all small paths. As for making glass, mirrors, and gunpowder, he remembered some of the processes. Even if it is made, but what happens after it is made?

If he doesn't have the strength, he just makes a wedding dress for others, just like the poems he remembers, no one will believe that it came from his mouth. If you say it, you will be charged with plagiarism, and then you will be beaten to death by the Cai family, and Cai Cailu will be the first person to support this.

After almost three days, Chen Xiao's injuries had basically healed and he returned to the courtyard.

The Cai family is very harsh on their subordinates. The yard where the people live is very dirty and messy, and the food and clothing are not good. But snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths. Some people with bright brains like to slip around and pat horses, coaxing the master to be happy, so they naturally have more confidence and live a slightly better life.

Chen Xiao doesn't like flattery, but he is not a person who is easy to bully, and he belongs to the kind that is neither good nor bad in the courtyard of the subordinates.

He pushed the door open, and there was a smell of urine.

Chen Xiao walked to his bed, his brows furrowed.

Someone rolled his futon on the ground, and a large piece of it was wet, and someone had urine on it.

"Brother Xiao, are you back?"

At this time, behind Chen Xiao, a swarthy thin boy ran over.

This person is the subordinate who entered Cai's Mansion before Chen Xiao, his name is Li Kuai, and he is a diligent person. It's just that he has a thin physique and is not good-looking, so he is not welcomed in the Cai family, and he is even more ridiculed and bullied in front of his subordinates.

After Chen Xiao came here, he couldn't get used to seeing him being bullied, so he took his head several times, and since then Li Kuai has been following his ass around, almost becoming his little tail.

Li Kuai walked up to Chen Xiao and said happily: "Brother Xiao, it's really good that you're okay." ”

Li Kuai's height is not tall, half a head shorter than Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao touched his head and said, "I'm worried about you." ”

"Who did this?" Chen Xiao's chin lifted.

Speaking of this, Li Kuai's tears were about to come out: "Brother Xiao, I'm sorry, I'm too useless." Wang Biao: They said that you were killed for stealing martial arts, and they threw away all your things. I can't stop it. ”

Chen Xiao noticed that Li Kuai's finger was tied with a chopstick, he grabbed Li Kuai's hand and looked at it carefully. Here's how he taught to fix broken bones: "Did they break your finger? ”

Li Kuai hurriedly received it behind him, and didn't dare to show Chen Xiao again: "No, I accidentally broke it." ”

Li Kuai is not a person who can lie, and Chen Xiao knows that he must be lying when he looks secretive. Thinking of this, Chen Xiao's eyes were cold, Wang Biao deceived people too much.

"Wang Biao is on duty at the racecourse today, right?" Chen Xiaodao.

Li said quickly: "Well, he passed early in the morning. ”

"Presumably, the second young master is going to take his wind out for a walk two times recently, and this is an opportunity to find something for him to do." Chen Xiao calculated in his heart and said, "Let's go, go to the firewood house with me first." ”

Li Kuai didn't know why, but he still followed honestly.

The firewood house of Cai's mansion is stocked with messy firewood, piled up like hills.

Chen Xiao walked to one of the piles of firewood and picked the dried fruit on the dead branch. The fruit is yellowish-brown and oval, with six slits at the apex.

If there are people who study Chinese medicine here, they will definitely recognize this kind of thing at a glance, it often appears in major film and television dramas, and plays a role in promoting the development of the plot.

It's Croton!

Croton belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae Croton, is the dry and ripe fruit of the croton tree, born next to the village or in the mountain sparse forest, it likes warmth, moisture, has no requirements for soil, can survive in almost any soil environment. Many people know that excessive consumption of croton will definitely cause diarrhea, and it is even said that in ancient times, secretly feeding a large amount of croton to the opponent's war horse was also an important tactic.

By chance, Chen Xiao found that croton was everywhere in the villages near Xijing, and no one cared about it at all, and some villagers would cut down croton trees as firewood to burn, and many of them were mixed into Cai's mansion, which made Chen Xiao very surprised.

Li Kuai didn't know the efficacy of Croton, and said suspiciously: "Brother Xiao, what are you doing picking these Mengzi tree fruits?" ”

Chen Xiao said: "You'll know in a while." ”

picked up a large bag, and Chen Xiao took it all to the racecourse.

One of the jobs that Chen Xiao has to do in Caifu is to feed and raise horses.

Feeding and raising horses is not a simple errand, when he is on duty, he often has to get up in the middle of the night to feed the horses, and after feeding during the day, he has to take the horses around twice to eat. If you meet a famous horse that the young master and young lady like, then there will be more rules, and it will be even harder to raise it.

These famous horses sometimes eat better than their subordinates. Like concentrate feed, that is, beans, wheat and wheat bran, sometimes mixed with some vegetable oil in wheat bran, honey and so on, they may not be able to eat.

When Chen Xiao and Li arrived at the horse farm, the horse farm was empty, only a dozen or so horses in the stables were quietly eating the concentrate feed in the horse manger.

"Wang Biao, they must be lazy. I can't blame you for that. Chen Xiao ran to the manger.

Li Kuai was a little timid and said, "Brother Xiao, what are you going to do?" ”

Chen Xiao didn't raise his head and said, "Give this horse some snacks." ”

Chen Xiao walked up to a red steed, this horse's long mane was scattered, without a bit of variegation, and it sparkled in the sun.

This horse is the favorite horse of the second young master of the Cai family, called Gallop, it is a rare horse, and it is the heart of the second young master Cai Kun.

Hurricane recognized Chen Xiao, and when Chen Xiao added croton to his manger, Hurricane didn't have any worries, and all the crotons with a small half-sack were eaten cleanly, only scattered debris in it.

"That's good." Chen Xiao patted the horse's neck and praised: "Eat slowly, don't rush." ”

Seeing that it was almost over, Chen Xiao no longer delayed in the stable, and left the racecourse with Li Kuai.

After a while, a boy dressed in brocade arrived at the racecourse, followed by several guards, majestic.

This person's son-in-law is Cai Jing, the second young master of Cai Mansion, his martial arts talent is not high, but his temper is not small, he is a character who is not easy to get along with, and he is known as a gentleman in Xijing.

When Cai Jing appeared at the racecourse, Wang Biao and several other grooms hurried over from outside, standing respectfully by the stables with a smile on their faces.

"Second Young Master, you're here. Hurricane hasn't seen you lately, but he's lost his temper, and I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll want you to take him out for a walk or two. Wang Biao patted his ass.

Cai Jing didn't look at Wang Biao squarely, and walked straight to the wind.

He patted Blizzard's neck, and his face that had been tense showed a little smile: "Guy, let's suffocate, today my brother will take you to the street for a walk twice." Walk! ”

Cai Jing led the wind out of the stable, turned over on the horse, and as soon as he pulled the reins, the wind galloped out. Behind him, the armored guards followed. However, Cai Jing rode a horse, and the guards ran on their legs.

These guards are majestic, their eyes are sharp, and their breath is steady when they run, and they know at a glance that they are martial artists, and their cultivation is not low.

After sending Cai Jing away, Wang Biao and a few horsemen were relieved: "Finally sent away." Let's go have a few more drinks and sneak a few drinks, in the afternoon, there shouldn't be many people coming. ”

The crowd applauded and left together.
