After the snow, the mountains and forests become more difficult to navigate, and only the beasts that have lived here for generations can calmly come and go through the deep pine forests.

A black shadow leaped out of the pine forest with a fierce aura, revealing blunt and long claws and sharp fangs, the fur around the neck stood proudly, the fur was gray, the ears were erect and unbent, the body was as large as a calf, and the needle-like pupils looked cruelly at a human in front of him who was squatting on the ground in a cloak and digging something.

It spews hot air, the hair on its whole body stands up, it has entered the final stage of attack, its simple head does not understand what cotton clothes are, instinctively tells it that such a large prey is definitely enough for it to eat for a long time, and even can spend the middle of winter comfortably in the nest.

The man seemed to be unaware of anything and was still digging under the tree, but the digging was becoming more and more meticulous, and after a moment he held up the digging object to his eyes with slightly excited trembling hands, it was a thing the size of a round turnip, but the roots were too long, and it was waving wildly. This is a sea of seeds, which is commonly known as understory ginseng, but such a large one is rare, not to mention that there are two or three hundred years of fire, an absolute supplement. In fact, what people often say about thousand-year-old ginseng refers to this, how can there be so many thousand-year-old things, it is not a spirit. Fifty years of ginseng is a treasure, hundreds of years can be referred to by a thousand years of ginseng, which is almost two or three hundred years of fire, in the Central Plains can even be called a rare treasure, it is simply worth a city, even in the north is worth ten iron pots.

Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but sigh, this damn poor place.

He was dreaming of making a fortune here, but the beast over there had finished gathering momentum, and suddenly shot out, slamming straight into his neck, bringing gusts of wind in the ferocity.

Chen An carefully took this seed sea into his arms with his right hand, and grabbed it behind him casually with his left hand.

Ah, the sound of a sharp blade penetrating into the bones came, Chen An withdrew his left hand, dragging a gray wolf the size of a calf on it, his five fingers were inserted in the gray wolf's skull, and the cold ghost claw was a first-class foreign kung fu even if it was separated from the internal force, how could it not be a beast that could withstand it. was grabbed through the skull with just one blow, and he didn't even have a chance to call his companions, so he gave a body of one or two hundred catties of game in vain.

Chen An is in a good mood, now there is meat and enough medicinal materials, and this trip can be said to be full of harvest.

Just looked down at the huge size of the gray wolf, and he was disgusted: this hellish place, the beasts have grown so big, how to go back. You must know that the gray wolf has almost one or two hundred catties of flesh alone, and the whole adds up to at least four or five hundred catties.

Fortunately, Pingtaek Ditch, as the name suggests, is naturally in a low depression between the two mountains. It was a downhill road all the way back, which saved him a lot of energy, but even so, he was still tired and sweaty.

By the time he dragged the giant wolf into his yard, he was exhausted and out of breath. Only Xiaoguang was still circling around the big guy, his eyes full of surprise and admiration for Chen An. The vicious appearance of this giant wolf's corpse is not a good match no matter how you look at it, Chen An can beat it back as a prey, in the eyes of Li Guang, it is naturally a great thing.

Chen An was very uncomfortable by his gaze, but a faint warmth flowed through his heart, so he still let him raise his hand, rubbed Xiaoguang's head and said, "Practice the kung fu I taught you, you can do it too." ”

Li Guang nodded with a smile, his eyes were firm, because he couldn't speak, his personality became withdrawn, he always seemed distant and indifferent when he got along with other people, and only occasionally showed a smiling face when he was around Chen An. Chen An was also very helpless in this regard, and tried various methods, but still could not eliminate Xiaoguang's wariness of the people or things around him.

In fact, Chen An can understand this kind of pain best, he can't trust anyone, he has to open one eye and close one eye when he sleeps, and he will always live in vigilance, and the feeling of loneliness that is physically and mentally exhausted is simply indescribable. He gradually got out of this state after meeting Mu Shaoping, and he has not recovered so far. Xiaoguang is so big, he really can't bear to see him live in pain like himself. But there is no better way, but to take advantage of the fact that he is still attached to himself, to accompany him more, hoping to dissolve the knot in his heart.

After a short rest, Chen An got up, and with the help of Xiaoguang, concocted this prey, meat stew, bone soup, plus some spices to nourish blood and qi, all for Xiaoguang to replenish his body, and Chen An himself could also fight the tooth sacrifice.

Of course, Li Guang is still too young, and there is no need to use these tonics, but such a young child's body has not yet grown neatly, so he let him refine and refine his qi to boil the muscles and bone wing membranes, and it is too much to help the seedlings grow, and it is easy to train the body. Therefore, Chen An's plan is to let him refine his qi first, replenish his body with his true qi, and wait until he is fourteen or fifteen years old, and at the same time, his true qi will be completed every day, and he will definitely not delay.

Settle down, no longer think about the fierce Chen An, and the mind of Jackie Chan is not inferior to many parents.

In the afternoon, after being free, Chen An wrapped up more than 20 catties of wolf meat and walked to Wen Jing's house. Even though the wolf meat is sour, if it is cooked carefully, it is still a good delicacy, and not every household in Pingzegou can eat meat every day, so this kind of good thing naturally has to be taken out and shared. He was able to settle down in Pingzegou so quickly, Wen Jing helped him a lot, and he should always show something about it.

Walking on the only bluestone road in Pingzegou, I just turned the corner and met Wen Jing coming from the front.

Both of them were stunned, and Wen Jing spoke first: "Xiaoyi, I'm about to go to you, where are you going?"

Chen An smiled: "I also went to find Fourth Uncle Wen for you, just now I went into the mountains to fight a wild wolf and shaved some meat, Xiaoguang and I can't finish eating, I want to send it to you." Xiaoyu has also reached the age when it is time to practice martial arts, just to replenish his body. Saying that, he handed over the wolf meat in his hand, Xiaoyu is Wen Jing's only son, Wen Jing traveled away from home as a teenager and got married very late, so he only has a six-year-old son under his knees.

Wen Jing knew that Chen An had kung fu, and he didn't feel strange when he heard him say that he had beaten a wild wolf, but he didn't reach out to take the wolf meat, but said with a smile: "You really have a heart, but when you and Xiaoguang are also growing up, don't be stingy with eating and drinking, you can marinate the wolf meat if you can't finish it, and leave it for later, if not, you can ask your aunt to help you." ”

He said that this sentence is reasonable, the north is bitter cold, and poor health means that he can't live. It's really cold, the wind can scrape the bones, although the cotton clothes can keep out the cold, but the price of the southern cotton clothes transported to the north is more than gold, and Chen An's cotton clothes are only a thin layer. The only thing the people of the Northland can rely on is a good body.

Chen An directly put the wolf meat into Wen Jing's arms: "Don't worry, Fourth Uncle Wen, I'm a doctor, relying on the consultation fee for these ten miles and eight towns, it won't be short of me and Xiaoguang's eating and drinking." ”

Wen Jing was stunned at first, then laughed, then he was no longer polite, and reached out to take the wolf meat, he forgot this, every time he saw Chen An's immature little face, he only felt that it was not easy for the two children to live without a father and mother. Directly ignoring Chen An's well-known craftsman identity, who would not have a headache and brain fever here, although the consultation fee is impractical for the poor jingle northters, but after seeing the disease, the family will still leave some food, wild vegetables and even prey as a reward to express their gratitude.

"By the way, Fourth Uncle Wen, what are you looking for me?" Chen An ended his matter and asked Wen Jing directly.

"Oh, it's not a big deal. Wen Jing then remembered his purpose: "It's Mrs. Shen who is here, and I'm afraid that she will ask about you, so I'm going to take you with me." ”

"Well, I don't have anything to do in the afternoon. "If there was no Mrs. Shen, I and Xiaoguang would have said goodbye forever, and when the benefactor came, Chen An naturally wanted to visit, so I agreed without thinking about it.

The Shen family is a big family in Shangyuan County, but they are from Pingzegou and started by doing leather business. After making a fortune, he did not forget his roots, not only in Pingzegou to give the price of the leather goods collected in Pingzegou is extremely fair, but also send some items to subsidize the villagers during the New Year's holidays. The shingle house that everyone can live in here is indispensable to the Shen family. Shen Wenxin, the contemporary head of the family, often selects young and strong people from the village to enrich the caravan, and gives them fish and fish.

Therefore, the Shen family has an excellent reputation in Pingzegou, every festival, the Shen family comes to return to their hometown to worship their ancestors is a big day in the village, and the old people in the village will accompany them to give convenience, Wen Jing as the only person in the village who teaches and belongs to his generation of very famous people, of course, he has to rush to preside.

There are only twenty or thirty households in Pingzegou, and the east and west are transparent, and the two said yes, so they walked to the east together on the only bluestone path.

At this time, the east entrance of the village is very lively, people come and go, children chase and play, it is a scene that can only be found in the New Year.

The largest courtyard here is the ancestral house of the Shen family, the tile houses are lined up one after another, seven in and seven out, during which the decoration of the rockery garden is not shabby even in the southern city, and it occupies a small half of the Pingze ditch, and the grand atmosphere is more victorious.

Although most of the Shen family has moved to Shangyuan County, the ancestral house is the place of foundation after all, and the Shen family will not be stingy with money when they return to their roots.

Chen An and Wen Jing went straight to the backyard after passing the wall, the north is not as good as the south, and men and women are not heavily guarded, so Chen An saw Mrs. Shen directly in a group of female relatives in the backyard.

Mrs. Shen's clothes are still plain, and there is not much change compared to the last time, when she saw Chen An, she smiled and said: "You are here too, this is a long time since you have seen you, and you are used to living here?" I originally wanted to let your two brothers go to Shangyuan to buy a house, but you didn't want to." ”

"Thank you, Madame, this place is very good, and my brothers are very comfortable. Chen An replied.

Mrs. Shen was relieved and said with a little regret: "With your medical skills, you can use your medical skills to go to Shangyuan, but you feel good." After speaking, he said a little funny: "You are young, you are so old-fashioned, you haven't experienced the prosperity of the world, so you want to be a hermit." ”

This joke attracted a lot of warblers in the backyard.

Chen An was not embarrassed, and asked questions with Mrs. Shen calmly.

Mrs. Shen, as the housewife, had many villagers and guests to entertain, so she couldn't say too much to Chen An, and after a while of greetings, she said: "Today is lively, you can go and play, you don't have to be bored here." ”

Chen An didn't like this kind of occasion either, so he resigned.

Earlier, Wen Jing and Mrs. Shen went to the front yard to work after the ceremony, and they didn't know where they went.

Although the Shen family's compound is large, it is full of busy villager helpers, but it seems to be very lively. Chen An looks like a twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy, and when he is busy, no one takes him seriously, and the "peers" who want to come up to frolic with him are also cleverly gotten rid of him, just wandering around by himself, visiting this place that he doesn't often come on weekdays, and taking a little leisure.
