Chapter 8: Another Year
Yu Quan sighed: "I also had to come to Foshan for refuge this time." ”
Yu Quan briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter.
Yu Mo was also very angry when she heard this, and finally snorted:
"I don't think it's going to be long before this cyst will reap its own consequences. Big brother, don't be angry. It is man-made, and it is not worth it for such people. ”
"I have also heard about the disturbance in Beijing and Tianjin, the imperial court has taken action, the epidemic has been controlled, and it will not spread again."
As he spoke, Yu Mo suddenly picked up Yu Ke on the side and poked Yu Ke's face with his beard:
"Hey, hey, this is my family, I've grown a lot taller in a blink of an eye!"
Yu Ke turned his head stiffly.
My dozens of years old man will still be held in his arms as a grandson one day......
"Second grandfather, I want to go to the thatched house!" Yu Ke pretended to have a stomachache.
"Okay, Fukuji, take him to the thatched house!" Yu Mo commanded, putting down the nephew in his arms.
Yu Ke hurriedly followed the servant and ran towards the inner hall.
……
Half a month later, the backyard of the Yu family.
Yu Ke was shirtless, practicing Little Plum Blossom Boxing one by one.
There are a few deck chairs in the corner of the courtyard, and Yu Quan and Yu Mo are drinking herbal tea under the shade of the trees, which is very comfortable.
From time to time, he pointed at Yu Ke or let out a few strange laughs.
After coming to Foshan for more than half a month, Yu Ke has adapted to the humid and sultry climate in the south.
As in the northern Jinmen, Yu Ke began to practice Tongzigong and learn medical skills the next day.
The second grandfather's family was very surprised when they saw it, and praised Yu Ke for his hard work.
Because of the wind temperature, this year's Spring Festival did not pass, after all, when the Spring Festival came, Yu Ke's family was still on the boat.
The days on the ship were really uncomfortable, it was very inconvenient in all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and there was no place for Yu Ke to practice martial arts.
Tong Zigong has not been practiced for more than a month, Yu Ke feels that his skills have regressed a lot, and his movements are not as neat as before, but he has also practiced it back in two or three days.
However, the method of nourishing qi in the book of nourishing good has made a lot of progress, and the boat is shaking badly, and it is very inconvenient to read, so Yu Ke has to practice the method of nourishing qi to pass the time.
Although the name is called the method of nourishing qi, he feels that this health method is more like the meditation method in Western fantasy novels.
Every time he practiced the method of nourishing qi for an hour, it would make him feel sleepy and unable to lift his spirits, so he practiced it at night before going to bed. It's good for sleep.
Yu Ke once tried, he could hold on for five hours at most, and he would not be able to bear the coma.
This Qi cultivation method does have some strange effects, and after practicing it for two or three months now, he found that his thinking is a little more sensitive than before.
A cool breath gradually accumulates in his mind, which can swim with his consciousness to all corners of his body, helping him to feel and control his body.
It's just that it's too inadoptive, and it often consumes more than half of it in one turn in the body, and it will take half a day or practice the method of qi cultivation to recover.
Yu Ke told his grandfather Yu Quan about the method of nourishing qi.
Yu Quan was shocked when he heard this, and bluntly said that Yu Ke had cultivated the method of cultivating qi to the realm of Xiaocheng, which was not much worse than him.
Yu Ke scratched the bald foreshell of his head.
Is my qualification so good? Or is this my invisible gold finger after crossing over?
Top cultivation talent?
Yu Ke finished a set of punches, slowly collected the moves, and calmed down his qi and blood.
He took the towel from the twelve-year-old young maid on the side and wiped the sweat off his body.
A few days after crossing into this world, Yu Ke found an excuse to shave off the 'pig's tail'.
The shape of this yin and yang head is too ugly, and it is not easy to take care of.
Yu Ke practiced martial arts every day, sweating a lot, and he felt uncomfortable without washing his hair for a day.
And most of the ancients had lice on their bodies, and Yu Ke didn't want to get it.
"Kezhi, stop practicing boxing, I have something to tell you."
Yu Quan smiled and beckoned to his grandson.
Yu Ke stepped forward: "What's the matter?" ”
"I and your second grandfather have set a family business for you?"
Yu Ke: "??? ”
"Grandpa, I'm only nine years old this year, this is too early, right?" Yu Ke hurriedly said.
Yu Quan shook his head and said, "What's not early?" It's not that I want you to get married now, it's just that I am engaged. ”
"But ......"
Yu Mo smiled: "Don't worry, I've seen that girl who is knowledgeable, and her body is also very healthy, and she is a good child." ”
Yu Ke's face was embarrassed, but there was some joy in his heart:
Damn, I was single for more than 20 years in my previous life.
And it's been less than a year since I crossed into this world, and I have a wife?
Yu Ke then thought:
But this is an arranged marriage! The dross of the feudal era!
Yu Ke, Yu Ke, as a five-good young man who grew up under the red flag, you actually feel happy?
You should be heartbroken, you should resist it!!
What are you waiting for?
Thinking of this, Yu Ke straightened his waist and asked solemnly, "Are you good-looking?" ”
Yu Quan and Yu Yu looked at each other and smiled.
Yu Quan said:
"It's good-looking. The little girl's surname is Zhang Ming Shuyuan, and she is two years younger than you. Catch Ming'er to take you to meet? ”
"Wow, wow, wow!"
Yu Quan instantly turned his face, and his face was blank: "It's beautiful to think!" ”
Yu Ke smiled.
Yu Mo smiled: "No, Kezhi, how can anyone go to see the woman before getting married, it's not in accordance with the rules." After a few years, when you grow up, you will be able to see it naturally. ”
……
The breeze is gentle, and the remnants of the flowers are withering.
Time flies, another year flies, and the time comes to the beginning of 1878.
It seemed like a very peaceful year, and nothing important happened.
The impact of the Ding Wuqi famine is gradually disappearing, and the wind temperature that broke out last year has also disappeared under the strict control of the imperial court.
The so-called strict control is actually to enclose a piece of land and drive those poor people who are infected with wind and temperature but have no money to treat the disease into it, and let them fend for themselves.
Since ancient times, successive dynasties have dealt with it in this way.
After all, in those days when the health care system was not yet built, there was no better way to deal with it.
If you look back at 2,000 years of history, you will find that few rulers treated the commoners at the bottom as human beings.
The so-called common people refer to the surnames of hundreds of officials, who are family lords and wealthy families, not the lowest commoners.
Even Du Fu, who is compassionate and "shelters the poor people in the world", only wants to protect the poor scholars.
Fortunately, in a few decades, Huaxia will usher in that unique great man through the ages.
Yu Ke crouched on the desk, boredly reciting the prescriptions in the medical book.
A year has passed, Yu Ke is ten years old, and his height has grown to more than four feet, that is, more than one meter and five, and he looks like a teenager of twelve or thirteen years old.
In the late Qing Dynasty, most people did not have enough to eat, and Yu Ke was about the same height as a slightly shorter adult male.
After a year of perseverance in the cold and summer, Tongzigong was practiced by him very proficiently, and Xiaomei Blossom Boxing practiced at least 10,000 times, almost to the point where there was no progress.
In addition to practicing martial arts, the prescription medicine in the fourth part of the family medicine has also been learned, and it will be possible to fully master it in two or three months at most.
