Chapter 5: An Ant-like Existence
It's not because of the young age, it's because of ......
If the panel didn't appear, maybe Xu Ping would have agreed on the spot, it doesn't matter if he is younger, he will grow up after a few years, but Xu Ping is now immortal, and his life has only passed one in a billion, how can he be cared for by a little girl in the countryside, and according to the appearance of Li Dazhuang's two sons, the second girl can only be a middle-and-lower asset, and for the time being, he is not worthy of the sixth son of the immortal cultivator family.
"Mismatched?" Aunt Liu asked a little curiously.
"No, no, I'm still young, and I still need my parents to ...... when I get married" Xu Ping didn't want to say the following words, I believe Aunt Liu will understand very well.
"You're still young, and you still have parents?" Aunt Liu suddenly thought of something, her face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly said hello to Xu Ping, and then left in a hurry.
"It's so dangerous, my one hundred and twenty dollars are almost not saved!" Xu Ping returned to the shack, took out the money he had hidden, and counted it again, and there was a lot of money, all of which were still there.
If you hesitate a little just now, the money may not be your own, 20 wen to Aunt Liu for matchmaking, 100 wen as a bride price, and when you get married, you have to borrow money from famine.
Originally, he was very worried that this year was not good, the food was not enough for one person to eat, and Aunt Liu's conscience was very bad, and she even wanted to give him a woman to share his food.
Hmph, fortunately, I'm smart and don't fall for women!
On the third day after Xu Ping rejected Aunt Liu, Li Dazhuang's second daughter married a middle-aged bachelor from a neighboring village, and it is said that this bachelor took out 500 yuan and a load of rice, which was finally exchanged for the common approval of the woman's family.
On the day of his wedding, a bachelor man from a neighboring village led a donkey, and on the back of the donkey sat Li Dazhuang's second daughter.
When passing by the west end of the village, Xu Ping happened to come out of the shack and saw the scene of the second girl getting married.
From a distance, the second girl's appearance does not follow her parents, she does not look like a tiger's back, but has a little jasper, and her face is a little dark, but in the eyes of the croppers, this is a very healthy normal complexion.
At the same time, the second girl also saw Xu Ping, her eyes were full of resentment, as if she was complaining about Xu Ping's lack of eyes and beads, as well as Xu Ping's stinginess of sacrificing her life and money.
At that moment, Xu Ping regretted it a little.
If he hadn't refused so quickly at that time, he would have followed Aunt Liu to the village to see the appearance of the second girl, maybe he would be the groom who entered the cave room tonight.
What's the use of regretting, the second daughter of Li Dazhuang's family rode on the back of a donkey and was pulled away by a middle-aged bachelor from a neighboring village.
"I'm still young!"
"Both parents are immortal cultivators......
"Don't give up an entire forest for the sake of a tree!"
……
Xu Ping thought of a lot of reasons before finally convincing himself that he no longer thought about the second daughter of Li Dazhuang's family.
He thinks that he is doing the right thing, and he can't even take care of himself at the moment, so he can support one more person, if there is really one more person in the family, it is possible that both of them will starve, and then he will have to go to the deep mountains and old forests to fight hard.
Putting one's own life to death for the sake of some food is not in line with the practice of the Immortals.
Everything is calm again, Xu Ping took advantage of this good season to save more food, such as wild vegetables, dried fish, etc., as well as some shelf-stable winter food.
Every day when he gets up early and returns late, Xu Ping tries his best to scavenge all edible food, not only him, but no one in Xujia Village is idle, from the old people in their seventies and eighties, to the children who have just learned to walk, all join this race against time to grab food.
Xu Ping dried the wild vegetables and fish he had collected and hung them above the top of the shack, and they were so full that people could touch their brows if they were not careful.
But this was not enough, Xu Ping dug another cellar under the bed, the area is not large, only a dozen square meters, and intends to move all the food to the cellar before winter.
At the same time, during this period of time, Xu Ping did not ignore the cultivation of Tiger Fist, although it was not like at the beginning, practicing all night, and finally paralyzing people from exhaustion, but he modified the cultivation time, maintained two hours of cultivation every day, and finally cultivated Tiger Fist to the entry realm before the autumn harvest.
Name: Ping Xu
Age: 16 years old (immortal)
Linggen: None
Exercises: Tiger Fist Beginner (8%)
Skills: Farming (87%) Hunting (20%) Gathering (76%) Fishing (37%) Sawmilling (88%)
The introduction of Tiger Fist not only increased in strength, but he could lift a hundred catties of things with one arm, so that Xu Ping could rival one or two strong men, and his figure also grew taller, from one meter six to about one meter seven.
Even if he was successful in cultivation, Xu Ping did not have the courage to wander in the deep mountains and old forests, but only dug a small trap at the foot of the mountain in his spare time to catch a few unlucky hares and pheasants.
When the autumn harvest was approaching, the village chief proposed to go to the county seat, on the one hand to see his grandchildren, and on the other hand, he planned to buy some necessities before the autumn harvest.
Xu Ping signed up, although he was very afraid of death, but at this time he had to go out, the salt shaker at home was empty, and he had to make up for it, otherwise he would not be able to survive this winter.
And he really wants to see what the county seat of this world is like? He hasn't seen it yet.
Although he had been there with his parents when he was a child, he was only three or four years old at that time, how could he remember it?
Besides, this time I went out, followed by Xu Dali, a master in the village, and there was not much problem with safety.
Even if there is a roadblock robbery, it is impossible to do anything to the villagers of Xujia Village, after all, this radius of several hundred miles is still under the jurisdiction of the Xu family's Xiuxian family, and Xujia Village is still a mortal family that is related to the Xu family's Xiuxian family.
"Qinan County and Qibei County are both county seats under the jurisdiction of our Xu family, with a radius of several hundred miles and a population of more than 500,000, of which there are about 30,000 people of Xu blood......"
"As early as five hundred years ago, Xu Shoutang, the ancestor of our Xu family, came back from the Qingling Sect and led some clansmen to establish the Xu family's Xiuxian family in Xianxialing......."
"Five hundred years have passed in a blink of an eye, the ancestors have gone immortal, and at present, Xianxialing is the ancestor of Xu Daocheng, and it is said that he has lived for more than 200 years......"
……
Along the way, Village Chief Xu told the accompanying villagers about the glorious history of the Xu family's Xiuxian family.
Xu Ping listened quietly in the back, and wanted to ask this Xu Daocheng several times what kind of cultivation is this, Zhuji or Jindan?
But then he thought about it, even if he asked, it was in vain, and it was estimated that the old village chief would not understand, after all, the old village chief was an ordinary mortal like him.
And what does the Xu family have to do with him, he was killed in this place, it is estimated that the Xu family will not send someone to take revenge on him.
O mortals! In the eyes of these immortal cultivators, it is just an ant-like existence, imagine an ant being trampled to death, will anyone care about this ant?
No one will care, no one will even remember one of this ant, his name is Xu Ping!
