Chapter 21 Vitality

He Le didn't know how long he had been asleep, and when he woke up, he only felt hungry, very hungry. Then the body feels empty, and it can't be filled.

"Ahh

"Where is this?" He Le struggled to sit up, seeing that the surrounding environment was very elegant and tidy, and he was a little confused for a while. Memories are distorted for a long time, and many people and things are mixed and crowded together.

"This is the courtyard of Master Cao's house in Xiwen Town, you are a guest arranged by the merchant to live here. "That girl is delicate, not very beautiful, but she still looks comfortable.

"Shang Gongzi?ah! Shang Gongzi, are they gone?"

"Not yet, I said that I was going to Tai'an City to do errands, and I would come back the day after tomorrow. That's why I arranged you here, and an uncle said that you would wake up in the next two days. ”

"Where...... So how long did I sleep?" He Le felt very hungry, and he was also dizzy at this time.

"It's been five days!"

He Le couldn't believe that he had already died of thirst and starvation in five days.

"For five days, the slave and maid have fed the son with soup and food...... "The girl was shy and hung her head down.

At first, He Le didn't understand, after all, he was born in a poor family, and he didn't know how luxurious the rich man's life was, and when he came back to his senses, the girl had gone to prepare food and toiletries for him. Later, the servants in the courtyard brought a few wooden tables, first the wooden basin for washing the face, the silk for wiping hands, then the baked cake with boiled beef, and finally the slow-cooked pork belly soup.

It was the first time He Le had enjoyed such treatment, and if he hadn't been hungry, he would have been stunned for a while. Soon he finished eating the two loaves and meat, and he still felt hungry, but when he looked at the girl, the girl covered her mouth in embarrassment, and only after a while did she hold back her words: "When the uncle was leaving, he told me not to eat too much for you the first time......"

"Oh......" He Le picked up the soup aggrievedly and drank it dry in one gulp. It's so delicious, it's like all the organs are cheering, He Le clicked his lips, and looked at the girl again. This time the girl covered her mouth and smiled, and her smile was very good, and her eyes were crooked.

The soup can still be drunk in another bowl, but only in another bowl. He Le almost made the urge to lick the bowl, if it weren't for the fact that there were a few servants sitting next to him. When he had eaten and drunk enough, he remembered to feed him again.

When the girl came in again, he bowed deeply to her and bowed to the end.

"Ah!" The girl was the same age as He Le, and she was a slave, so she couldn't help but be horrified by this gift.

"Thank you...... Thank you. He Le didn't know what to call it, but he was still grateful. At this time, although the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have the saying that men and women of Zhumen did not kiss, men and women could not have casual physical contact with each other, and feeding them meant feeding them to He Le's mouth with soup in his mouth. How can He Le not be moved or grateful, even if it is an order from the nobles, it needs the girl to do it carefully.

The two of them were a little embarrassed for a while, and they were both blushing and couldn't speak, and finally He Le said first: "My name is He Le, what is your name." ”

"The slave's surname is Mu, and her name is Ziqing. Not long after coming to Mr. Cao's house, he was originally from Hezhou in the North, and then he came here. ”

"You're from the Northland, too!"

"Hmm......" Mu Ziqing was slightly stunned, this is the Great South, and it is rare to meet people from the North.

"I'm from Diqingzhou, and if I come out late, I'm the only one left at home......" He Le tried his best to say yes, but the memories of his hometown are always connected with suffering.

"Hmm......" Mu Qingzi didn't seem to be used to this kind of conversation, and was more used to the sleepy He Le.

"I want to say, you don't have to call yourself a slave, I am not nobler than you. He Le was still restrained, but it was better to talk about it.

"Hmm......" Mu Qingzi wanted to go out a little, and hung her head with a red face. In fact, He Le didn't find it too difficult to feed him when he was asleep, but when he woke up, he felt shy, after all, she already had a hazy feeling of men and women in her heart.

After being embarrassed for a long time, Mu Qingzi retreated, and He Le sat in the pavilion in this courtyard and began to think about what happened. He could remember asking Uncle Zhang to feed him medicine at the end, but he still couldn't understand Hu Yanlie's sudden heavy hand. Could it really be that the devil would act like this? He felt that it was impossible, and he always felt that Hu Yanlie was not so bad, otherwise there would be too many opportunities to kill him. Even if you want to catch the businessman, it is very easy. So what's the reason for that?

He Le recalled that Hu Yanlie taught himself the "Yi Marrow Calcined Body Record" on the sandbank, which was obviously deliberately made hard to memorize, because there was a large overlap with the "Zifu Qingtan Sutra" in refining the body, and those who were familiar with the two could better learn from each other's strengths. If you really want to kill him later, there is no need to let him recite "Yi Pulin Body" at the beginning.

In this way, the palm of Hu Yanlie's departure has a deep meaning.

He Le tried to induce Qi Liu according to the "Purple Mansion Qingtan Sutra", but this time he did not dare to lead to the epidermis, but honestly led to his solid sea of knowledge. I felt the Qi flow enter the meridians from the outside world along the trick, and then slowly converge along the limbs and hundreds of bones to the sea of knowledge, and then gather in the sea of knowledge.

He Le's whole body trembled, not in pain and discomfort, but in excitement. He finally has the knowledge of the sea, very small, very small, maybe not as big as promised, but it was indeed born out of no reason. This means that he has finally taken a small step forward after standing still......

He Le, who was sitting in the gazebo, cried, even though it was just a tear, and there was a whirlpool in the sea of knowledge. He quickly hid his excitement and returned to his original form. can't let people know, he knows, that's why Hu Yanlie will do so many meaningless things.

"Ho...... He Gongzi, Master Cao is invited. It was Mu Ziqing who came over, and he might still not be used to calling him He Le, so he paused.

"Ah, Master Cao?" He Le was still grateful to this squire who had never met, after all, it still took some thought to arrange him to rest in this courtyard, although it was definitely the prince's face.

The annex is a bit big, He Le just lives in the east wing of the annex, and the main house is in the west wing. Following Mu Ziqing, He Le came to the west wing and saw an old man in his fifties and sixties sitting in the main hall drinking tea. When the old man saw He Le coming, he also smiled kindly and beckoned him to take a seat below.

"I heard that it was a warrior from the north, and the old man admired it very much!"

"Xiao Ke hasn't thanked Master Cao for taking care of him, thank you here!" He Le bowed to the end again. For those who are kind to him, he always wants to pay more. Now that there is no way to repay, at least etiquette must be done.

Master Cao originally wanted to get up to stop him, but when he noticed He Le's serious expression, he sat down again and accepted the salute. But there was something more in his eyes, more complicated than just politeness.

"I don't know where the ancestor of He Gongzi came from?"

"Xiao Kezu is an ordinary craftsman, because the Jin people came to be displaced, but fortunately Yuntan Sect rescued him and came to Lin'an alone. ”

"Oh, you can read and write. ”

"During the years of exile in the Northland, there was a Dai master who taught literacy, and later studied with the elders in the sect. He Le replied fifteen-ten, and he didn't think it was inappropriate.

"Well, it's very good, literacy is different!" Master Cao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and it seemed to be a little more complicated.

"I don't know what books I like to read?"

He Le twisted it when he got to this, and then said carefully: "Xiao Ke is most interested in the book of war, and Shang Gongzi once let Xiao Ke read it." "In this era, military books are like strategic weapons, and they are not readable by ordinary people.

"Oh!" Master Cao's eyes finally lit up, and his heart seemed to have made up his mind.

"My ancestors have passed down a crude military book, and it has not entered the eyes of the military department, so if He Gongzi likes it, he can take it. "If you don't have the legal eye of the military department, it means that it doesn't belong to the control-level military book, and it's okay to circulate it privately. Master Cao is also decisive, and he can't see any scheming, but he has his own strategy.

"This ...... Xiao Ke is just a small person, and he really doesn't dare to be given by the old gentleman anymore...... "He Le also had to get up and give a gift, it is really a big matter of military books, and it is not a gift that can be accepted at will."

"It's okay, it's okay, the son is the eldest son, and he should be able to bear it. Master Cao did not shy away from saying it directly.

Of course He Le knew, but he still didn't want to go.

"The old man knows countless people, and when he sees his son, he has a natural appreciation, and when he hears that his son likes military books, he is even more certain. I only hope that Gongzi can have the day contained in the military book, return my Great Zhou River and Mountain, and rebuild the world's Qingning, which is the greatest reward!"

"This ......" He Le's heart was shocked, knowing that Master Cao understood his thoughts, and if he bowed to him, it would be regarded as thanking Old Man Cao for his kindness.

"Alas...... I can't imagine that you can have such a mind at such a young age, thinking that none of my three sons can set up such a great ambition!" This time, Master Cao sighed sincerely, and even sighed that there was no daughter in the family, otherwise it would be a good marriage to refer to a marriage.

He Le didn't dare to accept this, people were kind to him, and he hadn't seen his son, so naturally he couldn't comment.

"Forget it, don't mention this, drink or not. Old Man Cao was a little excited, and summoned the servants to prepare the wine and food. He Le said embarrassedly that he couldn't drink, and he would get drunk as soon as he drank, but who knew that Old Man Cao just laughed, and said that he would be fine after being drunk a few times.

He Leke didn't believe the old man's words, so he had to wait anxiously to serve the wine and food, as if he was on the execution ground.

The dishes are not served quickly, and they are indeed made temporarily, but they are all rare game and water delicacies that ordinary people see. It was the first time He Le had seen stone-roasted soft-shelled turtles, as well as boiled more than a dozen catties of large carp and steamed ducks. Not to mention how bitter it is in the north, even in the Yuntan Sect, there is only coarse tea and light rice, and later all the way south is only slightly better than usual. And now the few catties of heavy soft-shelled turtles are still roasted raw on a large stone slab, which is enough to refresh He Le's cognition of food.

"Eat, don't be particular, just the two of us. "Old man Cao is very satisfied with himself coming to see He Le in person, sometimes life is a game, you can not only bet on pleasure, but also bet on your life. At this time, it is also considered a small bet and a large bet. Above the court is a different scenery, but He Le is worth betting. Their Cao family always has to choose a side, it is impossible to keep swaying, and now He Le's appearance may be a variable. It's still too early to see the winners and losers on the flop, and as long as you can see it accurately, who knows which one will have the last laugh in the future.
