(Volume 2) No Regrets in This Life Chapter 5 Into the Mountain
"Little girl! She looks like a beauty billet. ”
The elder brother walked up to the other female apprentice and pinched his face and fiddled with it from side to side.
"It's a pity that it hasn't grown yet!"
The slender girl who was quite delicate-looking, and Ling Wenfeng were both internal affairs apprentices, and when they got a little spare time, a few little boys liked to revolve around her.
At this time, the little girl lowered her head, her face was flushed, and her body trembled slightly.
What bullshit big brother! It's just a ruffian, a scoundrel. Bu You held his breath, and he had already scolded in his heart.
Look at the ruffian brother again, and put his index finger on the little girl's abdomen.
"Take a deep breath!"
Then it went back and forth a few times before stopping.
"Remember that feeling."
After speaking, he walked over to the dark-skinned female apprentice and let her perceive the subtlety of qi entering the dantian according to the previous method.
When it came to Bu You, he was busy adjusting his breath and getting ready.
"Boom!"
As soon as the lower abdomen tightened, a force penetrated into the body, instantly turning into a stream of heat in the abdominal dantian, and dissipated after swimming around.
Until the seventh time, a lock of hair-like true qi wandered in the dantian and did not disperse again.
Senior Brother Ruffian stopped and looked at Bu You with strange eyes.
Shaking his head, he said,
"This is called the strength of the ape! You can enhance your own strength, and when you practice to a high level, you are not afraid of ordinary knives and guns. ”
"When I go back, give me more practice, when I am not afraid of sticks, it can be regarded as a beginner."
Brother ruffian pointed to the room with his whip,
"Go to the steward and get two sets of clothes for each person, and from now on, you will be the official apprentices of Jishitang"
"Lift that piece of waste away from the ground, get out of here!"
The apprentices in the first three years of the pharmacy were actually doing odd jobs and couldn't learn anything at all.
I thought I had received my clothes and didn't arrange any work, so I could rest today.
Thinking about a few little guys, they have already begun to make a fuss, vomiting and diarrhea one by one, and the abdomen is cramping.
"Haha! An apprentice who just arrived, right? ”
"The first dantian will be like this! Get a good night's sleep and you'll be fine tomorrow. ”
After the young apprentice who was passing by finished speaking, he left with a smile.
Think about it, why is it only you who don't have these reactions?
Bu You has to serve five people now, and he is choked by a few little guys.
In the evening, several people finally slept peacefully.
Come to the open space behind the house and breathe steadily.
The upper body was slightly heavy, the legs were spread together, and the feet stepped on the horse, and began to practice the strength of the ape.
Close your eyes and feel the subtle changes in your body.
After more than a dozen breaths, a stream of heat entered the dantian and surrounded the lock of qi, and after a while, it merged into it, and the lock of qi seemed to grow a little.
So far, no one has been able to get started in a month, and the fastest will take half a year.
Bu You was already the acquired perfection before, and that lock of qi in the dantian is the true qi? Or Reiki?
Now I want to know, and I don't have the place to ask!
Now, it doesn't hurt to do anything, let's practice first!
It wasn't until the dantian in his abdomen began to swell and hurt that Bu You went back to the house to rest.
Before dawn, several people came to the dining hall for breakfast, and were just about to talk about yesterday's events.
"Have you finished eating?"
From the back kitchen, a middle-aged man with a meaty face walked out.
"I'm done!"
"From this day onwards, your internal and external apprentices will divide their labor."
Bu You was a little distressed, and he did more work to nothing, but things were too complicated, and he didn't have time to cultivate Cang Ape Strength at all.
I had to hurry up to finish the daily work before I had to squeeze out some free time.
Immediately pounced on cultivating the strength of the ape.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and I am busy with the day's arrangements and am about to go to the canteen.
"Everyone, stop for a moment, I have something to announce!"
Everyone stopped talking and looked at Master Huang, who was in charge of foreign affairs.
Master Huang's eyes swept around and said, "Yesterday, the owner received a big deal in the county town!" ”
"We need 3,000 soaked ebony vines, and the pharmacy doesn't have much stock, and the quantity is far from enough."
"And a month later, heavy snow is about to close the mountain. So now there is only one month to collect enough rattan. ”
"A month? How can it be. ”
"Ebony vines are hard to collect!"
……
Before Master Huang finished speaking, there was already a discussion around him, and many people were worried.
Jishitang in Yangxin Town is just a branch of the county town.
The people from the county town called the proprietor Deacon Chen, that is, the person in charge of the branch.
"Shut up!"
"Do you want to rebel?"
"The business received by the county town was personally arranged by the owner."
"If you don't want to do it, get out of here, where is a lot of nonsense!"
"Listen to me! All the miscellaneous servants and field apprentices, within half an hour, packed up and gathered at the back door. ”
At the sound of an order, all the foreign apprentices and miscellaneous servants were busy.
In front of the back door of the storeroom, three carriages were parked.
More than 20 apprentices and miscellaneous servants got on the car one after another, and in less than half an hour, everyone had arrived.
The carriage rushed towards the east of the city, dozens of miles away from Yandang Mountain.
Halfway through, the people from the pharmacy and the storehouse converged, and there were about forty people.
All the way, the coachman spurred the horse, and it was not until it was dark that he arrived at the foot of Yandang Mountain.
On the dirt slope, two rows of simple houses have been built of wood.
At this moment, the smoke of the cooking was rising, and several cooks were busy in front of the open stove.
The apprentices and handymen who were already hungry and bumped all the way here were exhausted.
"Everyone will go to get a set of tools, and tomorrow morning they will go into the mountains for me to collect ebony vines!"
Master Huang, who was in charge of foreign affairs, was also tireless: "Ten for miscellaneous servants every day, and twenty for apprentices every day." ”
"If you can't complete the task at one time, the food will be halved."
"If you don't finish it twice, you will be punished with three lashes."
"If there is a third time, he will be punished with ten lashes and expelled from Jishitang."
When everyone heard this, many people's faces changed.
Especially the seven or eight apprentices, who were only in their teens.
On the way here, an older apprentice said that the ebony vine was very difficult to collect, and that it was not only hard but also tough.
The firewood knife used for gathering, if you can't cut two blades, it will curl the blade.
"Eat and drink enough, rest well, and work hard tomorrow!"
On the long wooden table, there is a large pot of braised pork, several large piles of steamed buns, and steaming bone broth.
It brings some warmth to the simple canteen with air leakage on all sides.
The apprentices, who were hungry and cold, began to eat with their stomachs open at this moment, and they did not know when they would be able to eat like this again.
Ebony vine is a parasitic genus that usually attaches itself to a large tree called the cypress.
Not all ebony rattans meet the requirements, they must grow to about five years, and new vines within three years can only be used as medicine.
And if the years are too long, it is useless, and the fibers in the vine have become brittle and have lost their toughness.
There is also the cypress, most of the trees are five zhang high, and they have to climb to a place above three zhang to intercept useful rattan.
After not eating so comfortably for a long time, Bu You touched his bulging stomach and came to the temporary warehouse to receive a bundle of ropes, a cowhide water bag and a firewood knife.
Tonight, Bu You stole a little bit and didn't cultivate the strength of the ape.
Fell on the Chase bunk, which could sleep five or six people, and fell asleep after a while.
"Oooooooo
The sound of the gong startled Bu You from the bunk, and he immediately put on his clothes.
Pin the knife to your waist, grab a cowhide water bag and rope, and run out.
"Do you have all the tools?"
The ruffian elder brother of the foreign affairs opened his mouth and asked the apprentices.
That is, the young man who taught Bu You and a few people to be ape before.
"Into the mountains!"
