Time flies, and Li Rui has been incognito in the countryside of Haizhou, and three full years have passed.

Although Haizhou is a rich land, the truly developed area is only the plain area near the sea, and the north is a continuous hill, and most of them are poor and remote.

For three years, Li Rui has lived in this small village called "Turtle Village".

The reason why it is called "Turtle Village" is because the whole village is located in the valley area, the shape is like a turtle, the middle is large, there are four legs extending out from the east and west, and there is a protrusion in the north and south.

Li Rui enjoyed a rare leisure time here, and the environment here is very similar to the Lotus Village where he lived when he was a child. Under the scorching sun, the "Turtle Village" is the same as the Lotus Village in childhood memories, backward and dilapidated.

On this day, Li Rui was rushing home from Huichuan Town, fifty miles away.

A week ago, he was entrusted by the villagers to go to the town's office to fight for the road repair fee that had been in arrears for five years on behalf of the village.

"Oh, big guy, come on, Li Rui is back!"

Just walked into the village, in front of a magnificent house, a bewitching woman dressed in gorgeous clothes shouted at Li Ruijiao.

"It's me back, Aunt Li."

This charming and bewitching woman, her name is Gao Lili, she speaks in a loud voice, sexy and seductive, and very seductive. said that she was called an aunt, but in fact, the grade was not big, but thirty-five or sixteen, but it was only because the former village chief of Turtle Village, Lao Niu ate tender grass and married her as his wife, which caused her to be relatively senior, so Li Rui called her Aunt Li.

It's a pity that less than half a year after Gao Lili got married, the village chief died, and she became a widow.

"It's a different city from this big city, it's really spiritual." Gao Lili looked at Li Rui's back, a glimmer of brilliance flashed in her eyes, and the expression on her face became even more bewitching.

Li Rui's home is in the middle of the village, and not far from the door, there are many neighbors around the courtyard wall of his house.

Li Rui hurriedly rushed over and squeezed through the crowd into the courtyard.

I saw that Butcher Zhang from the next village with a large group of people surrounded the old village chief, shouting that he would pay the arrears for the project.

The poor old village chief was grabbed by the collar at this time, and under the exposure to the sun, he was dizzy and unable to move.

It turned out that because of the traffic jam in Gui Village, it was very inconvenient for the people in the village to go out, so the local town office promised to subsidize a sum of money to repair the road in order to change the backward appearance of the place. Guicun thought that with the endorsement of the superiors, everything would naturally be fine, so he asked Butcher Zhang from the neighboring village to lead people to build a mountain road. But he never thought that the road was repaired, but the money had not arrived.

No, Butcher Zhang brought someone to make trouble today.

The house where Li Rui lives was lent to him by the village chief Mao, not only did he not charge rent, but he also took good care of him, and he would always call him when he ate, Li Rui naturally respected him very much.

As soon as he saw that Butcher Zhang was bullying Mao, how could Li Rui sit idly by.

"Stop it!" Li Rui shouted, rushed in, and kicked over the person who grabbed Mao Buyi.

"Damn, what person who doesn't know how to live or die wants to come out? Give Lao Tzu flat him! ”

A group of people immediately surrounded Li Rui, and for a while, fists and sticks beckoned to him.

But at that moment, those punches and kicks screamed like the slow motion of a movie, and they came with a punch, and it seemed that it would take a long time to hit Li Rui.

Li Rui's eyes became extremely sharp, his fists were clenched, his body flashed, and he attacked the few people around Zhang Butcher who seemed to be still.

He didn't make a heavy hand, because Situ Zhao had repeatedly ordered him to make sure that he was a cultivator until he had to do so.

"Ah......h

"It hurts, my hand ......"

"What's wrong?"

In an instant, chickens and dogs jumped in the yard, and Butcher Zhang and the people he brought were all lying in the yard rolling and wailing like a king, while Li Rui stood there as if he hadn't moved.

"Zhang Guoqiang, we will give you your money, but if you come to the wilderness again, I will see you and fight once."

The onlookers couldn't believe the scene in the courtyard.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, even Butcher Zhang himself was dumbfounded.

But Li Rui knew in his heart that he didn't think that he could use that bit of power to blow them up in an instant, so he couldn't play one percent, and if he exerted ten percent of his strength, they would not be able to climb up this Zhang Guoqiang.

"What a hell of a life...... butcher Zhang Guoqiang struggled to get up from the ground, looking confused.

"Brother Qiang, I was kicked twice just now, both in the legs, and I don't know who kicked me?"

Several people stood up and looked at Li Rui, their eyes full of fear.

Li Ruiqiang endured and didn't continue to beat people, just stared at Zhang Guoqiang, and said word by word: "The 100,000 yuan I owe you, I will pay you back a lot of money within three days, and within three days, don't let me see you again, otherwise, I won't have such good luck!" ”

Zhang Guoqiang stared at Li Rui viciously, his mouth opened, and in the end he didn't scold anything.

"Okay, I'd like to see what you're capable of, I'll come and get the money in three days, what if I don't have the money yet?"

Li Rui said coldly: "Three days later, I will take the initiative to send the money to the door, and if I don't pay back the money, I Li Rui will dispose of it with you." ”

Zhang Guoqiang covered his chest and roared, although he couldn't hold his face, he still left with someone.

"Li Rui, our village really doesn't have the money to pay him back......" Mao Buyi, the old village chief, choked up.

Li Rui said with a confident look: "Village chief, I'll figure out a way to deal with money, you don't have to worry." ”

"Do you have a way?"

"Hmph, isn't it just money, the living can still suffocate urine!" Li Rui said viciously in his heart.

Money is all because of money, and those who live in big cities are intriguing and deceitful for money.

If it weren't for money, the Xiao family wouldn't have suffered, if it weren't for money, there would have been no strife, and he might not have come here.

But now it's imperative to get the money quickly!

That night, Li Rui took a mat and laid a bunk in the yard, looking at the dark night sky in a daze.

The memories of three years ago poured into his mind again, and Li Rui felt like he was dreaming, how did he persevere.

Situ Zhao just told him that if he wanted to lie dormant and wait, he must be patient and never reveal his identity.

But waiting, when is the end?

When he came to Haizhou, he was only one person, like a rootless duckweed, drifting with the wind. Fortunately, the old village chief took him in and gave him a second home.

Coincidentally, this place is indeed very similar to Lotus Village, with rolling mountains, deep valleys, herds of wild beasts, and precious medicinal herbs all over the mountains.

In the past three years, Li Rui has only done one thing almost every day, which is to go to the mountains to dig herbs.

It's not just the herbs that are being dug up, it's the thoughts.

For three whole years, there was no side of Qin Lingling.

Liu Xiao promised him that as long as he collected a hundred kinds of medicinal materials and prepared a hundred kinds of prescriptions, he could meet Qin Lingling.

This sentence became the belief that supported him to persevere.

Because, he no longer misses her all the time.

Li Rui will classify the herbs he has picked and put them in one place.

A year later, a hundred medicinal herbs had filled the hut. As a result, Li Rui no longer only digs herbs, but begins to formulate prescriptions.

This is another year, and I drink different medicinal solutions every day.

At first, Li Rui didn't understand pharmacology, blindly tried the medicine, and almost died of pain, and the pain went deep into the bone marrow.

But he persisted.

Only by persevering can he hope to meet Qin Lingling.

However, the long wait is not only physical torment, emotional emptiness and loneliness, but also tortures him all the time.

There are many women in Turtle Village, and the women in the village are simple and simple, like a white cloth, delicate and dusty.

However, Liu Xiao explained that he must not have any relationship with any other woman, and he must remain a virgin.

Once the ring is broken, he will never see Qin Lingling.

Three years later, Li Rui's body quietly changed, his whole body was muscular, and he was seen by the women in the village, causing them to scream again and again.

During this period, only Liu Xiao came to see him and brought him a few medical books. So, Li Rui learned the acupuncture technique, which acts on people's bodies, can cure all diseases, and also learned some martial arts, which must become stronger through diligent study and hard practice.

With the blessing of medicinal properties, Li Rui's body became stronger and stronger, and in just one year, he completely consolidated the realm of the third-grade martial artist and entered the ranks of the fourth-grade martial artists. In another year, he has learned the medical Tao and has advanced to the level of a master.

Li Rui's speed has been greatly improved as a result, and Zhang Guoqiang's actions have naturally become turtle speed in Li Rui's eyes.

It's just that Liu Xiao warned that the doctor's acupuncture and martial arts are in the same line, which contains the mysteries of the universe, if it is exerted to the extreme, the power will destroy the world, and it is not an exaggeration to cry ghosts and gods.

"Herbs? That's right! Ha ha! Li Rui's eyes lit up.

If you take the refined medicinal materials to sell in the market, Situ Zhao once said that a good pill can easily cost hundreds of millions.

Thinking of this, Li Rui almost happily asked the old village chief to share, but he still stopped, not to disturb them first, they probably won't believe it after hearing it.

"Go to bed first, and go to the mountains early tomorrow to have a look, maybe you can find the right herbs." Li Rui immediately lay down and soon fell asleep.

The next day, as soon as the sky turned white, Li Rui had already gotten up.

Mao Buyi's door is closed, he should be sleeping.

Li Rui boiled the hot water, boiled rice porridge and prepared to start making breakfast.

Li Rui searched the kitchen, but he couldn't find any food that could be used as breakfast, a few steamed buns and a small plate of pickles, even millet was only a small bag left.

The pot is almost impossible to open at home, Li Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Li Rui ate a small bowl of millet porridge, and hurriedly went out with a hoe and a basket.

It wasn't much dawn yet, and he hadn't gone far when he met a man head-on.

"Is this Li Rui?"

The man took the initiative to greet Li Rui.

Li Rui saw that the person who came was the family planning director of the village and the niece of the village chief Mao Buyi, Mao Yurou, who was the only college student in this village, seven or eight years older than Li Rui, and should be less than thirty years old.

This Mao Yurou is a scholar, and she has a good reputation in the village.

"Sister Yurou, hello, I haven't seen you for a few days, the longer you get, the better you look."

Li Rui said with a smile.

Mao Yurou's face turned red, and she said angrily: "Hey, it's all ruined, it's still good-looking, you have something to do when you go out early in the morning?" ”

Li Rui hurriedly said: "I want to go up to the mountain to pick some herbs." ”

"Herb picking? Do you know any of these? Li Rui, I know that Zhang Guoqiang brought people to my house to make trouble yesterday, thanks to you, otherwise my uncle would have ...... Hey, but I can't do anything, I'm really embarrassed to ......."

Li Rui shook his head and smiled: "Sister Yurou, I haven't done anything in the past few years, so I've studied these herbs, don't worry, I'll find a way to solve it, Sister Yurou, I thank you very much for having this heart." ”

Mao Yurou approached Li Rui and whispered: "Li Rui, you have to pay attention, Zhang Guoqiang is ruthless, don't ...... it."

"Well, thank you Sister Yurou for your concern, I will solve it well, by the way, Sister Yurou, are you married?"

Hearing Li Rui suddenly ask this, Mao Yurou nodded and said, "Of course." ”

Li Rui asked with a smile, "Where is my brother-in-law?" ”

Mao Yurou said softly: "The one in the county town is now teaching in a high school. ”

Listening to Mao Yurou's words, Li Rui understood, married to a teacher, and it was from the county seat, which was a very face-saving and glorious thing, but the husband and wife were so far apart, and Mao Yurou didn't like to go to work in the city, and just wanted to stay in Sunset Village, so what was the point of getting married.
