Chapter 5 Food as Heaven
"Moving in?" Longqiu Dao looked at Xue Yanran in horror and exclaimed.
The other party actually made such a decision.
This west side of the courtyard, although it is ten thousand times better than his original residence.
But what is this place?
The servants' house that is free is itself a place where the servants live.
In the middle of the small courtyard, there is nothing more than a slightly spacious and desolate brick floor, and there is a well on the side.
The hut I live in now is already opposite the larger house.
Even after the arrangement, the big house looks much better, but compared to Xue Yanran's original boudoir, I am afraid it is far from it.
"My husband is covered by me, and if you live alone, you will definitely be very lonely, so I'm here to accompany you. Xue Yanran took it for granted, patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, you won't be wronged." ”
"There's me!"
Longqiu Dao covered his face, why does this stupid fox feel that he will be very lonely and wronged if he lives here.
She hadn't experienced it, how could it be......
The original thoughts came to an abrupt end, and Longqiu Dao raised his head again, looking at Xue Yanran, who was standing at the edge of the well, looking inside.
Bang!
At this moment, a red fox maid, with a flustered face, took a piece of paper and ran into the courtyard: "Miss, it's not good, something happened." ”
"Hong'er, what's wrong?" Seeing the maid who had been with her for a long time, so anxious, Xue Yanran hurriedly stepped forward.
Hong'er took a long breath and came to her senses, then took out the paper and pointed to it: "Look, my uncle has been assigned to labor." ”
"In forty days, he will go out of the city. ”
Xue Yanran's face changed, and she also looked flustered: "This ...... What should I do, isn't it no different from sending my husband out of the city to death?"
"Wait, I'm a cadet of the academy, and there is a place for exemption. ”
"No, if you fail the assessment and trial in a month, you will be removed from the academy, and there will be no exemption quota!"
"What to do, what to do. Xue Yanran was the master of the six gods on the spot, panicked, and her eyes began to redden.
Turning his head and looking at Longqiu Dao: "I don't want you to die, woo ......"
"......" Longqiu Dao was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.
Looking at Xue Yanran's pear blossoms with rain and crying, he almost wondered if he was really not far from death.
But Longqiu Dao has to say that a catastrophe is coming.
In the slums, they were the untouchables in the eyes of others, and they did the work of cleaning up the filth.
They do all the dirty things, and they also exchange them for their obligation to live in the city in peace.
Practitioners, on the other hand, have other obligations.
Servitude.
The content is to kill the beast!
The stability of the castle as a whole needs to be maintained.
Fierce beasts breed quickly and wreak havoc outside the city, and they need to be constantly cleaned up to ensure a certain level of stability.
Most cultivators need to complete the quota of hard labor, and they have to kill a certain amount of fierce beasts with a certain strength every year.
Otherwise, they will be expelled from the city and live in the wilderness outside the city, where their lives are in danger at any time.
As a big family, the Xue family naturally also has labor indicators.
The distribution is self-regulated internally, Longqiu Dao entered the Xue family, and in the time when Xue Yanran knocked out, all the formalities and conditions were clearly handled by this stupid girl.
Therefore, the distribution of labor can naturally fall on his head.
"Indeed, in the eyes of others, I can't practice, and if I don't have qualifications, going out of the city is equivalent to death. Thinking of this, Longqiu Dao's mind came up with the face of the second master of the Xue family, Xue Chungang.
This method is not bad.
Next to her, Hong'er spoke: "Miss, why don't you talk to the head of the family and see if there is a way." ”
"No, if grandpa is favoritism, it will only cause him more trouble. Xue Yanran had a bitter face, not knowing what to do.
"It's very simple, reconcile and leave, and then get out of the snow house, as if nothing had happened. A cold voice came, and at the entrance of the courtyard, Xue Chungang was standing there.
Seeing the person coming, Xue Yanran couldn't help frowning: "Second grandfather, what are you going to do." ”
"I'm just for the Xue family, and now the situation of the Xue family is shaky, and if you are not careful, it will collapse. ”
"As a child of the Xue family, shouldn't you come forward when you make a sacrifice? Just marrying someone doesn't cost you your life!"
Xue Chungang's words are righteous, and his tone seems to be unquestionable.
Longqiu Dao next to him, frowned, the other party planned, he also understood.
Marrying into the Xiong family?
What kind of character the bear of the Xiong family is, he knows very well, and he doesn't know how many women who have been abused by him and have not been formed.
Marrying him is like pushing Xue Yanran into a fire pit.
"What, unhappy?" Xue Chungang saw Long Qiu Dao's face, sneered, and then looked at Xue Yanran again, "Unwilling?"
"You are no longer the proud daughter of the past, you used to be protected by your father and mother, and they are dead, you are a worthless waste. ”
"I'm about to be expelled from the academy, and you can't bring back the quota you gave to the family for exemption, and marrying someone is the last contribution you can make. ”
"You think you are stubborn, you keep yourself, who is harming, and in the end it is your grandfather who will be harmed!"
Xue Yanran stiffened, as if struck by lightning, the expression on her face was dull, and her eyes were blank and lonely.
"If you want to survive, just get out of here. Xue Chungang finally glanced coldly at Longqiu Dao, "A lump of mud." ”
From beginning to end, Xue Chungang did not set foot in this side courtyard until he left.
After the other party left, Hong'er looked at Xue Yanran cautiously.
Tears overflowed her eyes, and Xue Yanran stood silently in place, sobbing softly, and the fox tail behind her drooped weakly.
All she felt was a cold sensation that was constantly enveloping her.
"Maybe, I can only ......" Xue Yanran thought as the tears on her face were wiped away with her hands.
When she looked up, she saw Longqiu Dao standing in front of her.
"Do you know why, from beginning to end, I didn't speak?"
Xue Yanran shook her head blankly, and Hong'er on the side also looked at Longqiu Dao curiously.
"When you're weak, every word is ridiculous. Stretching out his hand to cut the other party's hair, Longqiu Dao looked serious.
"Actions are more important than words. ”
"When I get stronger, I'll punch this old thing in the head with my own hands. ”
"Until then, don't throw in the towel, silly girl. ”
Xue Yanran's side was looking at Longqiu Dao intently, and there was brilliance in her eyes.
Poof!
The atmosphere was originally not good, but it was rudely interrupted.
Hong'er next to her just thought it was a little funny.
"Then uncle, you can't cultivate, and if you want revenge, it's almost impossible. ”
"It's okay, I can cultivate the physical body. ”
Longqiu said this, which made Hong'er laugh even more happily: "Uncle, even if you cultivate the body, what's the use, without the blessing of aura, the body is still weak." ”
Regarding the joke of the red fox maid, Long Qiu Dao was unimpressed.
Over the years, what hardships and blank eyes have you ever suffered, would you care about a maid's joke?
"Let's go. Longqiu Dao said to Xue Yanran and prepared to set off.
Xue Yanran was stunned for a moment: "Where are you going?"
"Grandpa gave so many gold crystals, if you don't use it, it's a pity. ”
Half an hour later.
The maid named Hong'er was gone, and after asking, she was actually transferred away by Xue Chungang.
Boom!
The behemoth that was carried by Longqiu Dao was slammed to the ground by him.
Four-horned cattle, one product and eight stars.
Two heads in the air!
When the two fierce beasts with their heads tied up smashed on the ground, they also snorted constantly, trying to struggle, but they were unable to break free.
The four-horned ox is extremely tall, and if it stands, it can at least be level with Longqiu Road.
Just two four-horned oxen, plus some miscellaneous elixirs, cost a full gold crystal.
followed Xue Yanran, who returned to the yard, put the big bag in her arms beside her.
Looking at Longqiu Dao's eyes, there was a different color: "You can really move, your strength is comparable to the strength of the peak of the previous product and one star." ”
"But, aren't you unable to cultivate?"
On the side of Longqiu Road, he directly knocked the four-horned ox unconscious and began to bleed.
In the process of processing, he looked up at Xue Yanran next to him: "What do you think I ate so much before?"
"After you ran away earlier, I practiced my body for the first time and was very successful. ”
"Whew!" put the big basin containing the cow's blood next to it, and after exhaling, Longqiu Dao took the big knife and weighed it in his hand, "After a month, what is the minimum realm to pass the assessment trial?"
"One product and eight stars. ”
"One product five to eight stars, three months. Long Qiu Dao nodded lightly and stood next to the four-horned scalper with a knife.
His eyes were sharp, and the knife in his hand flashed, dancing quickly, and he swam around the cow in front of him.
The next moment, Longqiu Dao turned abruptly and moved the knife towards the other four-horned scalper again.
After a while, Long Qiu Dao put away his knife and stood, raised his hands up, and walked in front of the table and put it down gently.
A miracle happens!
Xue Yanran was surprised to see the cowhide fall off, as if a carpet was spread on the ground.
The muscles and flesh are separated, neatly staggered and slid off the bones of the cow, and piled up on the beef.
The original two four-horned cattle have only two large skeletons left.
"It's amazing, husband, how did you do it!" Xue Yanran couldn't help but cry out and hugged Long Qiu Dao's arm.
"Ahem...... ahem" Long Qiu Dao blushed, pulled out his deeply buried hand, and disagreed, "Friend's stunt, I learned a thing or two." ”
"What's this called?"
"Cook Ding Jieniu. ”
"Eh, God of Cooking!" Xue Yanran remembered the story she had heard from Longqiu Dao, and knew this trick, "Could it be that Monkey King or something, is it all true?"
"Hehe, I knew it was true. ”
Seeing Xue Yanran's eyes shining, Longqiu Dao was also warm in his heart.
In the past, when he had nothing to do, he told stories, and others only called him crazy and stupid, and those children talked about it as a joke.
Only this stupid girl is willing to believe.
"Someday, I'll take you to meet them. ”
"Good!"
"But for the sake of your test, we have to set a small goal first. ”
"Good!"
"Eat him a hundred cows first. ”
"Good...... Huh??"
