Chapter 006: Warmth in the World!
Phewββ!
Suck ββ!
The sound of long breathing came from the room, and Jiang Xuan sat on the bed and exhaled quietly.
Aggressiveββ!
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and a loud voice came from outside the door!
"Brother Jiang is out to eat..."
Hearing the loud and sincere voice outside, Jiang Xuan's heart warmed slightly.
After killing Xuan Yiwei, relying on Xuan Ying's corpse, he stayed in the mountains for nine days, and after finally changing his god shape, he couldn't bear to eat the saltless eagle meat every day and decided to leave here!
Moreover, he also found that cultivating the exercises in the Pangu Nine Refinements strengthened himself by absorbing the energy in flesh and blood and food, but improving the realm made him hungry faster!
With such a big Xuanying, he expected it to last at least half a month, but it only lasted eight and a half days before he finished eating.
His body was like a bottomless pit, but as long as he started cultivating when he was full, he would be hungry in less than two hours.
He blamed this change on the fact that his predecessor had been wandering around the land all day and had too much shortfall!
But after a Xuanying went down, and the pills in the porcelain bottle were almost exhausted, and he still couldn't fill the deficit he thought he had, he realized that it was the reason for the exercises!
After the food is consumed, the pill cannot be replenished, unless you don't cultivate, otherwise you often can't carry a pill for half an hour.
It's just a small thing for him!
He felt that if he was open to eating and cultivating at the same time, ten cows a day might not be enough, and when he thought about it, the more than three thousand taels of silver in his pocket would become a drop in the bucket.
Three thousand taels of silver can only buy fifty or sixty cows, which means that if he really opens his stomach, it is only enough for him to open his stomach for five or six days!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Poor and rich martial arts, it's not this way to play!" β
He sighed a little helplessly, but the benefit was obvious, that is, in the coming day, he felt that his strength was far beyond that of his previous life, and he had five or six hundred catties of strength.
The one who called the door is called Niu Dayong, the village is called Liujia Village, Niu Dayong's family has a total of four people, his parents plus his three or four-year-old sister and him!
Yesterday he climbed several hills in the mountains, and traveled hundreds of miles along the river before he saw the people, and at this time he had fled after waking up, and his clothes were already in tatters, like a beggar.
After entering the village, he wanted to beg for something to eat and drink, but the people in the village avoided him like a snake and scorpion, and even a few ruffians planned to tie him up and sell him to the tooth shop.
Just as he was doing, Niu Dayong passed by, rescued him, and took him in!
"There's Brother Lao Dayong!"
Jiang Xuan opened the door and said with the gift of the rivers and lakes!
"Where, if you can help when you go out, I don't think you look like a bad person, just do it!"
Niu Dayong scratched his head and said, although he was a little silly, he was not stupid, although he saw Jiang Xuan for the first time, although his clothes were in tatters, the fabric of the ragged clothes was not bought by ordinary flat-headed people like them.
And although Jiang Xuan was hiding the blade, he still saw that Jiang Xuan, who was extremely weak at that time, was bullied by the ruffians and hooligans, and thought that this remote mountain village could also meet people from the rivers and lakes, so he saved it with compassion!
"There is nothing to do at home, only some corn, a few old hens, tomorrow I will get up early and go into the mountains to pick some herbs to buy, buy some meat back, but unfortunately there is no wine in the village, Brother Jiang will take care more!"
Niu Dayong said with some embarrassment, but Jiang Xuan was the first to be shocked: "This... How to make it? β
He knows very well that the situation of this family is not so solid, the old couple has two acres of wasteland, two acres of paddy fields, and the annual grain output is only seven or eight hundred catties, and after paying two percent of the tax, the per capita grain is only one hundred catties, barely letting the family starve to death!
A few old hens are one of the family's sources of income, he entered the door yesterday and found that there were five or six chickens in the yard, in the mountains and villages, the eggs laid by the old hens also cost one or two small dollars a piece.
It is very precious to them, many chickens will not be killed until they die of old age, but they directly killed one for him, which made him not know what to say for a while!
Whether the countryside is simple or simple, maybe Niu Dayong has something else to ask for, but no matter what, this killing chicken to entertain him, an unknown outsider, is enough to move his heart!
"Make, make!"
Niu Dayong, who is not good at words, said with a smile, and the father and mother of Niu on the side could only laugh.
He could see the worry in the eyes of the second elder, and sighed slightly in his heart, knowing it in his heart.
It was Niu Dayong's sister Erya, although she looked at him a little timidly, but she was more staring at the chicken stewed in the clay pot on the table, and kept swallowing her saliva!
Jiang Xuan sat down, and the mother served a bowl of chicken for Jiang Xuan, and this bowl was half a chicken.
He looked at the bowl or basin in front of him, filled with chicken and shiitake mushrooms, etc., exuding a rich fragrance, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.
The cow mother served him rice again, pulled the second girl and prepared to leave, and the little girl reluctantly looked back at the chicken on the table.
"Why don't you sit and eat together?"
At this time, Jiang Xuan spoke, he knew that in ancient times, when there were guests in the house, women were not allowed to serve the table, but these rules were nothing for him.
"This..."Father Niu and Niu Dayong heard this, and their faces showed embarrassment.
"Where did the children of the rivers and lakes come from so many rules, let the aunt and the second girl eat together! Come on, come on! β
Jiang Xuan got up and beckoned to Erya, but Niu Dayong's father and son were surprised and hesitant when they saw this.
Erya was also moved, looking at her mother and then at her father, with a look of longing in her eyes.
"Since... The little brother spoke, then sit aside! β
Seeing this, Father Niu spoke, and Mother Niu sat with Erya on the side.
After moving the chopsticks, Jiang Xuan watched the others just care about the vegetarian dishes on the table, Jiang Xuan sighed in his heart, and suddenly felt tasteless in his mouth, and felt a little uncomfortable.
He took out one of the chicken thighs in the bowl and put it in the second bowl, and several people were shocked.
"It's... How? β
"Erya is still young, it is the time to grow the body, and the nutrition must keep up, besides, how can I eat so much alone? Let's eat together! β
Jiang Xuan smiled and waved his hand and said, while using a spoon to distribute the remaining chicken in the pot to everyone, the three of them were cramped with the bowl for a while.
Their faces made Jiang Xuan extremely uncomfortable, he could only touch Erya's head and say, "Eat it!" It's not enough for my brother to have it in the bowl! β
"Thank you, big brother..."
Er Ya said timidly, but her eyes were full of satisfaction and joy!
A meal, the family who ate was a little flattered!
"Listening to the accent of the little brother, he should be from the north, how did he come to the south? And this body injury...? β
After the meal, Father Niu asked, he didn't want to speak, but the worry in his heart made him have to speak.
Hearing Father Niu's words, Jiang Xuan naturally understood what the other party was worried about, and he explained with a grin.
"My uncle is right, I was originally from Luoyang, and when I was eight years old, my parents were bullied and injured by the ruffians in the village.
Fortunately, a person from the rivers and lakes passed by and avenged my family revenge, and I pestered him to learn some kung fu and follow him to the imperial capital of Chang'an to see the world.
When we crossed the Yellow River halfway, we were caught by water bandits and sent to a private mine in Jindi to work as coolies, which was more than three years, and when we were twelve years old, the imperial court seized the private mine, and we survived all the way to Chang'an..."
Speaking of this, Jiang Xuan paused for a moment, with a look of amazement on his face, shook his head and continued.
"It's not easy to live in Chang'an! Especially for people like me, who have lost their identity and household registration, they can only work as coolies, and this work is another two years.
Until the beginning of spring this year, I left Chang'an and wanted to go south to see the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, but I met the people of the Nuhai Gang bullying the goodness on the way, and they grabbed me and beat him up and locked him up after saying two more words.
Later, he wanted to send me and a group of people to Wanhua Valley as flower fertilizer, and when I was passing through Ailao Mountain, I encountered a wild beast attack, and I escaped by luck. β
Jiang Xuan came up with the reasons that he had made up a long time ago, as for the investigation, some things may not be able to investigate all the true and false.
For example, the Nuhai Gang transporting living people as flower fertilizer is not an uncommon thing, and it can be encountered once a year in Ningzhou Mansion in the memory of the predecessor.
And it just so happens that the serious injury of the predecessor is actually inseparable from the Angry Sea Gang, the Angry Sea Gang is the number one licking dog of the Flower God Pavilion in Wanhua Valley, and there was a flower fairy from the Flower God Pavilion in the team at that time.
So at this time, it makes sense to say that he is a flower fertilizer, and it happened that the next day after this group of people entered Ailao Mountain, they were attacked by demon beasts, and Jiang Youzhen, who was a garrison at that time, was also ready to send someone to strangle, but he was beheaded by the whole door the next day!
And the face on his face now is no longer the face of his predecessor Jiang Yuyang, but the face of his previous life, which is all due to the ever-changing form of the gods!
Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Niu Dayong couldn't help but clench his fists on the side, empathizing with him, as if he had experienced it himself.
"I can't imagine that the little brother has experienced such a miserable experience, so it's better to stay at my house for the time being, and then make plans when the injury is healed!"
Niu Dayong opened his mouth and said, and Niu's father also sighed when he heard this, he had never gone far in his life, and the farthest had only left the village to go to the town and the county seat.
Jiang Xuan's words can't tell the truth from the false, but he has already taken it true in his heart, after all, Jiang Xuan's injury is the best testimony he has experienced along the way!
"It's... I'm sorry, I'm afraid it will cause you inconvenience! β
Jiang Xuan said hesitantly, he actually didn't want to stay long, staying here would only make it more difficult for the family!
He was going to leave tomorrow!
"What's this?"
Niu Dayong patted his chest and said: "You look like you now, even if you have some fists and feet, it is estimated that you will not be able to get out of the village, those few hooligans are not easy to mess with, they are all practicing families, and there are people behind them, I am afraid that they have been eyeing you for a long time, and it is not too late to decide where to go when you recover from your injuries!" β
"What's more, I'm also going to go to Qingshan County after a while, the Qingshan County Ya will recruit a group of government servants after the autumn of this year, just when it's my family's turn to serve in the draft, there are still more than three months before the autumn, I plan to go to the city martial arts hall to learn some fists and feet before I can participate in the selection, Brother Jiang can go to Qingshan County with me then!"
Niu Dayong grinned and said, looking at Jiang Xuan expectantly: "During this time, Brother Jiang can tell me about the things in the rivers and lakes outside, and when you enter the yamen in the future, you will have to deal with the people in the rivers and lakes!" I don't know if Brother Jiang is willing? β
"Why not?"
Hearing his words, Jiang Xuan nodded and said, but he thought about it, and asked with a move in his heart: "I don't know what the requirements for this yamen to select the yamen, can a foreigner like me participate?" β
It is indispensable to want to cultivate resources, but most of the resources in this world are in the hands of the imperial court and sects!
Originally, he was still thinking about how to find a way to get enough resources to cultivate, after all, if this world wants to go further in cultivation, it is nothing more than two paths.
The first to join the sect, but his age has passed the best age for martial arts cultivation, and the sect may not accept apprentices, even if he enters the sect, it is estimated that he is only a low-level person.
The second is to join some of the official yamen of the imperial court, as the saying goes, the yamen is good to practice, the Great Xia Dynasty has the Xuanyi Guard and the Shenzhumen and the Ministry of War, among which the masters are like clouds, and the resources are even richer.
In addition to these three yamen, it is an ordinary government and county government, and it is also necessary to practice martial arts or young people as government officials.
Xuanyi Wei can't enter, and being a soldier depends on his military exploits and promotion is too slow, but there is a lot of room for promotion in the Shenzhumen, as long as he has the ability and strength in the ordinary yamen, he can enter the Shenzhumen as an errand after assessment or recommendation.
Relying on his merits and merits to obtain resources to cultivate, this is undoubtedly the most suitable for him at the moment.
So when he heard Niu Dayong's words, he had a thought for a while, what could be more relieving than using the enemy's resources to make himself stronger, and then fighting back?
Besides, even if Xuanyi Wei and Shenzhumen knew that he was not dead, they didn't necessarily expect him to be so bold and hide directly under their noses!
"It's not a big requirement, as long as the ordinary conscription has a clean family background and is strong and knows some fist and foot kung fu, so if you want to be selected, you must first go to the martial arts hall to learn fist and foot kung fu for a few months."
Niu Dayong explained when he heard this: "If you want to be a government official with a formal quota, you need to at least build a foundation and strengthen the blood realm, or even the cultivation of the kone realm!" β
Hearing Niu Dayong's words, Jiang Xuan immediately made up his mind to come!
"Since that's the case, then I'll go to the county seat with Brother Da Yong, and try to see if I can be elected as a servant, I've had enough toss over the years, and it's time to find a place to settle down!"
"That's a good feeling!"
Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Niu Dayong suddenly became excited, and looked at Jiang Xuan with a red face and asked tentatively, "I don't know... Brother Jiang, can you teach me some... Fist and foot kung fu...? β
"Why not? As long as Brother Dayong wants to learn..."
"Great! Why don't we become brothers...? β
In the courtyard, Niu Dayong's voice of joy came from.
Not far away, the father and mother couldn't help but smile on their faces.
......
Time flashed and the day passed, and the two finally set foot on the road to the county seat!
"His father, his father, come here!"
Sending her son away, Mother Niu entered the room to clean up the house, lifted the bed pillow that was temporarily built for Jiang Xuan, and saw the things below Mother Niu couldn't help but be surprised, and quickly turned around and rushed to the door to call out to her husband in the yard.
When his wife pulled him into the room and saw the copper coins under the pillow, and a dozen finger-sized pieces of broken silver, the two looked at each other a little stunned.
"This kid ......"
For a long time, the two of them couldn't help but sigh at the same time, with a smile on their faces!
