Chapter 1: Three Monsters
Liu.
"Ziling! Let's go up the mountain and pick the fruit! Are you coming? A man of fifteen or sixteen years old, with three or four companions of about the same size, shouted to the man who lived in the west and was called "Ziling".
"Ahem! Cough! The man called "Ziling" coughed twice and said in a loud voice, "You go first, I'll come later!" Cough! Cough! ”
……
Liujia Village belongs to the old township, about 2,000 acres of land, more than 20 families in the village, every household is surnamed Liu, so it is called Liujia Village.
This Liujia Village is not big, and a little thing can become a hot conversation among the villagers after dinner, and the most talked about in their mouths is nothing more than the three weirdos in Liujia Village.
Five years ago, Liu Erhu, who had been away from Liujia Village for many years and had not returned, suddenly returned to the village and brought back a skinny, frail and sickly little boy, and the two lived in the old house where Liu Erhu lived fifteen years ago at the entrance of Xicun.
On the day Liu Erhu left the village, he swore a poisonous oath that he would not return to the village. But fifteen years later, he broke his promise, he was already the strongest person in the village when he left the village, and after working hard outside for many years, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has become a famous existence in the town!
It's just that such a strong person succumbs to Liujia Village, and he doesn't plow the fields and farm, nor does he look for a job in the town, he goes back and forth between Liujia Village and the town's pharmacy on weekdays, looking for medicine for the child, and has become the first weirdo in the village.
And the little boy who lived with him, originally the people in the village thought that Liu Erhu was looking for a child outside, but they didn't want this little boy to be surnamed Zhao and called Ziling. Liu Erhu claimed to be his distant cousin, his parents died, and he was entrusted to him when he was dying, and since then this Zhao Ziling has become the only person with a foreign surname in Liujia Village.
Zhao Ziling is fifteen years old, his height has passed one meter seven, he has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a tall nose bridge, red lips and bright teeth, sharp edges and corners, and skin like a crown of jade.
Just looking at the appearance, this Zhao Ziling is really dignified, without losing his nobility, and over time, he will definitely be able to grow into a handsome existence! But his face was pale, his face was bloodless, he walked lightly, and coughed twice from time to time. And he was sick and sickly, with a cold every two days and a high fever every three days, and this strange illness had been the same for five years, and it had never been aggravated or lessened.
Originally, when the people in the village saw him like this, they concluded early that he was terminally ill and would die of illness within three years, but they never thought that he would live for five years!
Now the people in the village only regard him as the second strange man in the village because he has been beheaded and suffered, resulting in a weak physique.
And this third strange person, who is not strange to say, but is the most discussed by the villagers, that is, Liu Chunxiang, a lone widow in the hut next to Liu Erhu's house.
Liu Chunxiang was charming and moving when she was young, and even the county knew that there was a big beauty in Liujia Village. She and Liu Erhu have known each other since childhood, and the two are childhood sweethearts, and they have no guesses.
It's a pity that his father's fate is difficult to disobey, and twenty years ago, Liu Chunxiang, who was eighteen years old, married the old family of the county town, the Fei family, who was a few years older than Liu Chunxiang's parents combined, as a concubine, and then cut off contact with Liujia Village.
In the twelfth year of marrying in the county seat, Liu Chunxiang suddenly returned to Liujia Village under a veil. After 12 years of marriage, her parents passed away, and when she returned, she told the villagers that her husband had died of illness, and since then she has lived alone in the cottage where her parents used to live.
As soon as Liu Chunxiang returned to Liujia Village, the reputation of this lonely widow with a sad face spread to the town, and the able-bodied men of the whole town thought of her.
However, in the eight years since he returned to Liujia Village, Liu Chunxiang has always been as guarded as a jade, and has never led any man into the door, nor has he spent the night outside. Even on weekdays, I rarely go out, and only when I need to go out to buy food and clothing.
But even so, she still can't escape the fingers of the women in the village.
Some people say that she is a lewd frog slut, but as a concubine, she has an affair with several sons in the big house and is angry with her husband.
Some people say that after her husband died, she was played by the successor head of the family into a broken flower and a willow, and then she was sold to Yihong Courtyard as a pair of jade arms and thousands of pillows, half of which was tasted by thousands of people.
Some people also said that she was good at housing, causing her husband to die of overdraft, and returned to Liujia Village in loneliness, looking for a sturdy young man to enjoy the joy of fish and water.
In short, anything that is unbearable is added to her. But even so, she never showed any anger at the gossip, and still lived a lonely life with a sad face. This also made the men in the village and town love her even more.
What happened to her, no one knows, only that her twelve years are the same as her veiled face, mysterious but intriguing.
Three years after Liu Chunxiang returned to Liujia Village, Liu Erhu also returned. The two childhood sweethearts ran away for half their lives, and when they met again, they no longer had the feelings they had fifteen years ago, and the two looked at each other, neither happy nor sad, nor speechless, and each went back to their respective houses.
Although Liu Erhu is infinitely powerful and strong, he doesn't know anything about life, and even three meals a day can be cooked like pig food!
It would be fine if he was alone, but he was still dragging Zhao Ziling, who was only ten years old at the time. In desperation, Liu Erhu had to ask Zhao Ziling to ask Liu Chunxiang for help, and pay her to help Liu Zhao and the others cook.
Since then, these three weirdos have become a special existence in the village, Liu Chunxiang cooks meals at home every day, and then asks Zhao Ziling to serve them over to share food with Liu Erhu, and he enjoys a small portion of himself alone at home.
On the surface, it seems that there is not much contact, but outsiders seem to regard the three of them as a small family. There are even filthy rumors that Liu Erhu has a tunnel in the house, and he has a private meeting with Liu Chunxiang every day! That Liu Chunxiang was at the age of being like a wolf and a tiger, Liu Erhu couldn't feed her, and she even started the idea of Zhao Ziling, who was still young, causing Zhao Ziling to be young and overdrawn, so weak!
After that, Liu Erhu punched the wild boar on the mountain and dragged the bloody wild boar to the door of the rumor-monger. Everyone saw Liu Erhu's terrifying strength, and the rumors stopped abruptly, and no one dared to gossip in front of the three monsters, only dared to say it secretly behind their backs.
……
Zhao Ziling chased out of the house, but there was no trace of his partners, he chased him up the mountain with a cough, and chased him to the foot of the mountain before meeting his partners.
"Ziling, you're too slow!" The man at the head said with some dissatisfaction.
This person is the grandson of the village chief, named Liu Youhe, a little older than Zhao Ziling, although he is still underage, but he is burly and has good strength, and his peers are all looking forward to him.
"Ziling, he's sick, it's good to catch up. Walk! We have to hurry up the mountain, or the sun will go down soon! The man next to Liu Youhe said.
This man is Liu Youhe's cousin, his name is Liu Youhou, and everyone calls him Monkey. is different from the tall and burly Liu Youhe, Liu Youhou is shorter, thin as skinny and bone-like, with bronze skin, as his name suggests, like a monkey.
"That's right! Hurry up the mountain, or I'll go back too late, my mother will talk about us again! The little girl next to Liu Youhe and Liu Youhou said.
This girl is Liu Youhou's little sister, named Liu Xiaoying, fourteen years old, the youngest of the four.
is different from her brother who looks like a monkey, Liu Xiaoying is smart, with delicate facial features, especially the small mouth is very good-looking.
Although he often helps his family with farm work, his skin is not so white, but he is already a pink young man in Liujia Village. Moreover, she is young and already well-developed, and often provokes the young people in the village to stop and look at her.
"I'm sorry! Cough! Cough! Zhao Ziling apologized to the three of them, and then the four of them went up the mountain.
Liu Youhe and Liu Youhou walked in the front, and Liu Xiaoying and Zhao Ziling each followed behind them with two baskets, and the four of them walked towards the mountainside.
"Ziling!" Liu Youhou beckoned to Zhao Ziling behind him, and mysteriously motioned for Zhao Ziling to follow, obviously because he didn't want Liu Xiaoying to hear something.
"Let me tell you, when I passed by Xiaoling's house last night, I happened to see that the door of their bathroom was broken, I looked in through the half-hidden door, and found that Xiaoling was taking a bath, and her snow-white and slippery skin was ......" Seeing Zhao Ziling coming up, Liu Youhou whispered to the two brothers about the interesting things he encountered last night.
Bang!
"Oops!" Zhao Ziling was smashed in the back and felt pain, looked back and found a pine cone rolling down on the ground, and then looked at Liu Xiaoying, she was looking at the three of them angrily.
Needless to say, it must be Liu Youhou, the kid who couldn't suppress his excitement when he talked about the excitement, his voice was a few decibels higher, and Liu Xiaoying, who was on the tip of his ear, heard it, so he "attacked" himself with this pine cone!
"Brother! If you talk like this nonsense, be careful what I tell Daddy and Auntie! Liu Xiaoying glanced at Liu Youhou with annoyance, and then looked at Zhao Ziling and muttered, "Brother Ziling, you too, just join all this excitement!" ”
Liu Youhou Zhao Ziling scratched his head embarrassedly, and there was no speech, and the four of them continued to walk towards the mountainside with a little embarrassment.
"Huh? Let me tell you, in a week, there will be an old gentleman from the transformation realm in the village, who will come specifically for me to break through the tempering realm, and you will have to come and witness it! Halfway up the mountain, the atmosphere of the four of them was not so awkward, Liu Youhe took the lead in speaking.
"He Shao! Take me one! Liu Youhou hurried up to Liu Youhe, hugged his neck and said.
Liu Youhe glanced at Liu Youhou and said dissatisfiedly: "At the level of the eighth order of your quenching realm, how can you reach the time to condense qi into the body?" Don't bring! ”
"It's all brothers, help! At most, I'll do whatever you want me to do in the future! Liu Youhou was not annoyed, and was still trying to persuade Liu Youhe.
After all, Liu Youhe is a person who eats soft rather than hard, and when he heard his cousin's tone so sincere, he said: "Your realm is not enough, if you break through the second order and step into the tenth order of the quenching realm within a week, then I will try to help you mention to my father that he can help you." ”
Liu Youhou smiled when he heard this, and immediately thanked him, and then patted his chest and said, "It's not easy to be promoted to two levels in a week!" ”
"Cut! As far as your cultivation progress is concerned, I don't know if you can break through the eighth order of the Quenching Body Realm for ten years! Liu Xiaoying behind him didn't show any affection for his brother, and the four of them picked wild fruits like mouth cannons.
