I don't know how long later, Yan Liqiang woke up, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw himself lying in a pile of firewood and grass, with a thick layer of dry straw under his body, facing the corner of the wall in front of him, there was a spider web, and the walls on all sides were exposed to the wind, which seemed to be a firewood room with firewood.

Still a little drowsy in his head, last night, it was the first time Yan Liqiang was drunk when he was so old, the first time he lost his temper, Yan Liqiang remembered that he originally seemed to be going to the deer park last night, but because he was drunk, he finally fell asleep in a pavilion next to the official road, but he didn't expect to be here after waking up.

It seems that a good Samaritan brought himself here from the pavilion next to the official road!

Yan Liqiang checked his whole body, and found that his whole body was intact, and the things he was carrying were still there, and he had not been passive, thinking that since he was drunk and unconscious last night, Yan Liqiang was secretly a little afraid, fortunately, he didn't meet any enemies and villains, if he did, like last night, wouldn't any gangster be able to kill himself?

"This is the first and last time, I will never get drunk again!" muttered to himself, made up his mind, Yan Liqiang lifted the dried straw covering his body, stood up, moved his hands and feet slightly, and stood in this firewood room, and after taking a deep breath, he came to the "Three Talents Momentum" of Yi Jin Washing the Pulp Sutra......

The powerful heaven and earth energy and aura gathered from all directions like the water of the sluice, and then poured into the top of Yan Liqiang's head, under the purification of that powerful heaven and earth energy and aura, the little residual wine on Yan Liqiang's body was instantly washed away, dissipated without a trace, and the agility and power returned to Yan Liqiang's body again.

As soon as he finished practicing the "Three Talents Momentum", he heard footsteps outside the door, and Yan Liqiang took the work by the way.

"Squeak......" The door of the firewood room was pushed open, and an old man wearing a green coat, gray hair, and a little rickety walked in, still holding a bowl of hot porridge in his hand, and saw that Yan Liqiang had woken up, the old man laughed, "Young man, are you awake?"

"Did you bring me here last night, uncle?"

"Yes, my son and I came home late last night, and I happened to see you sleeping in a roadside pavilion, so I brought you back!" the old man shook his head vigorously and sighed. You young people, you just don't know how to take care of your body, you don't know if you can't get drunk when you drink on a snowy day, last night's snow was so heavy, it was so cold outside, you couldn't feel cold after drinking too much, but as long as you slept outside, your body slowly stiffened completely, and you couldn't wake up again......

With Yan Liqiang's cultivation, even if he slept naked in the snow overnight, he would not be able to freeze to death, but he also knew that this old man was telling the truth, and he was kind-hearted, ordinary people, or people with low cultivation, after being drunk, if they slept outside in the snow after being drunk, they really couldn't get up again.

"Thank you for saving me!" Yan Liqiang saluted the old man, "I don't know where this is?"

"This is Xiaoqizhuang...... the old man said, with a smile on his face, he handed over the bowl in his hand, "Come, drink this bowl of porridge, warm your stomach, and have a good ......."

Yan Liqiang thanked him, took the bowl of porridge, just took a sip, he felt that there was some sweetness in this porridge, stirred it with a spoon, and found that under the porridge, there was also a layer of brown sugar sprinkles underneath......

"Well, I drank too much wine, and it is good to eat a little sweet things, it just so happens that I still have a little brown sugar at home, this brown sugar has been left at home for a long time, and the taste has changed a little, but the sweetness is still there, young man, don't dislike it......" The old man also saw that Yan Liqiang found the brown sugar in the porridge bowl, so he spoke.

"Uncle, what are you talking about, it's too late for me to thank you, how can you dislike it!" Yan Liqiang smiled and gulped down the porridge.

"Haha......" The old man laughed, looked at Yan Liqiang who was eating porridge kindly, and chatted with Yan Liqiang, "I don't think you, a young man, have suffered hardships, your family background should be good, I'm afraid you won't get used to it......"

"Uncle, how do you see that?"

"You see, you don't even have a cocoon on your hands, the skin is thin and tender, obviously you don't work, you were drunk last night, the wine jar next to you is the most famous and expensive Qianjialou spirits aged in the imperial capital, then a jar of wine is at least more than ten taels of silver, where can ordinary people buy it, they are willing to drink like you, and treat the wine as water, I tell you, in this world, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed, I am not afraid of an old man, you young people must not give up on yourself......"

Yan Liqiang's hands also used to have cocoons, a thick layer, left by practicing archery and spearmanship, but after he sucked up the essence of the 10,000-year-old leech, the cocoons on his hands fell off, and the whole person became thin and tender, and there were no more calluses on his hands, so he looked like a boy who never worked, as for the jar of wine, it was really bought by Yan Liqiang for eighteen taels of silver.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Liqiang drank the porridge in his hand at all, he put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and didn't explain anything, but smiled, and hugged his fist at the old man, "Old man, you are really sharp-eyed, thank you for bringing me back last night, I will definitely repay ......"

"Oh, what can't be reported, I live at such an age, good people and bad people can still be seen, there is a righteousness between your eyebrows, it will definitely not be a bad person, I just raise my hands, don't take it to heart, by the way, I listen to your accent, it should be a foreigner......"

"Well, my hometown is in Ganzhou......"

"Ganzhou, it's so far, why is it so far, it's winter, and you still come to the imperial capital!" the old man asked curiously.

"I have something at home, I have to come!"

"Oh, I see!" The old man nodded, and then persuaded in a serious tone, "Young man, you should leave the Imperial Capital City as soon as you finish your business, you should have heard the news ,......of the Heavenly Tribulation of the Imperial Capital City, now this Imperial Capital City is not a place to stay for a long time, and almost all those who can go are gone."

"Oh, I've heard the news too, thank you for reminding me, by the way, why don't you leave...... boss"

"If you want to go, where is it so easy!" the old man sighed sadly. Our family has lived in this village for generations, people like us, want to drag the family to leave, where is it so easy, the first time I heard that the stone turtle was dug out of the Ling'an River, the family was skeptical, and when the news spread more and more true, the family is also making preparations, want to sell the old house and that bit of the field, make up a little bit of winding and then go, but at this time where can it be sold, so delayed, now can not go directly, the people of the government are in the village all day and night beating the gong around, saying that the stone turtle said is made up by bad people, and the gossip confuses the public, so that everyone does not believe, do not panic, want to go, to open the way in the government, The chief of the village has been in the village all day long, I'm afraid that you will run away, like Liu Laosi's family in our village, who was originally going to run, but was discovered by the chief of the village, the family was arrested, and then escorted back to the village to show the public, the family's land and house were confiscated by the government, miserable, I heard that he is still locked in a prison cell, who dares to leave casually, how can this drag the family leave......"

"I also heard about it when I came to Dijing City this time, and I went out to open the way, and there were newspapers that said that what the stone turtle said was false......

"I also wondered, since what the stone turtle said is false, then why don't those wealthy families in the imperial capital, those dignitaries and dignitaries stay in the imperial capital, their own families ran away with their own money and money, and walked cleanly, but told us that these ordinary people will not have any natural disasters and man-made disasters in the imperial capital next year, everything is smooth, everything is good, let our people stay with peace of mind, those dignitaries and wealthy families say one thing and do another behind their backs, how can people believe that if nothing happens to this imperial capital, they believe in what they say, why don't they stay, but run away......," the old man said indignantly.

"Uncle, you can see it!"

"I don't understand, my family was originally to send pear charcoal to those big families in the city, last year my son and I at this time to send dozens of big families a day, just by working a winter to earn some money, this year those big families are gone, there are not a few people left, this pear charcoal ten families can not send one, have to drive the car along the street to reduce the price to sell it, last night that car charcoal I and my son sold in the imperial capital city for a day and there is still half a car, if you don't come back too late, I'm afraid you won't meet you......"

"By the way, I don't know your surname, father-in-law, how many people are in the family?"

"Haha, don't have your surname Hu, there are only four people in the family, me, my son, and my daughter-in-law and a grandson......"

......

Chatted with the old man for a while, got the information he wanted, Yan Liqiang left, this Hu Laozhang's family lives in the east of Xiaoqizhuang, the family has three earthen houses, a pigsty and a firewood house, last night they brought Yan Liqiang, the family really has no place to live, so Yan Liqiang can only be placed in the firewood room, early this morning, Hu Laozhang's son took his daughter-in-law to continue to drive to the city to sell charcoal, this family, only Hu Laozhang and his grandson who has just turned eight years old stayed.

When Yan Liqiang left, Mr. Hu also took his grandson to send Yan Liqiang out of Xiaoqizhuang and showed Yan Liqiang the way, while Yan Liqiang quietly stuffed a silver ticket of five hundred taels of silver in his grandson's clothes pocket, and then said goodbye to Mr. Hu and left.

......

Snowed overnight, the snow still hasn't stopped at this moment, the snow on the road has been more than half a foot thick, Yan Liqiang, who left Xiaoqizhuang, walked on the official road, and in less than an hour, he came to the door of the deer park in the western suburbs.

Several sergeants in cotton clothes were standing guard at the gate of the deer park, because it was cold, those sergeants stomped their feet one by one, stomped their hands, and choked enough, when they saw Yan Liqiang walking straight towards the gate of the deer park, the sergeants all turned their heads, looking at this side with some vigilance, and when Yan Liqiang got closer, one of the officers suddenly saw Yan Liqiang's face clearly, and the expression on his face changed instantly, and he suddenly screamed happily.

"Ah, Yan Xiao...... Lord Yan is back......"
