Chapter 4, Immortality
That's right, this is Fang Rui's golden finger!
"Luck, in my understanding, to survive the catastrophe, your own qi is added, this is the catastrophe."
In troubled times, there is no shortage of calamities, and it may be just a malice of the big people, which can become a calamity for the little people and make a family break their bones.
Is there a way to survive the catastrophe?
You can break it with strength, you can use it to borrow strength, or you can see the subtleties and eliminate the calamity in the bud!
"For most of the month, I have been cautious, and I have also taken my mother and sister to keep a low profile, which has invisibly avoided some troubles, which has accumulated bad luck."
In fact, after Fang Rui understood the principle of robbery, he also tried acting to exploit loopholes.
But, no.
It can deceive people, it can deceive people, but it can't deceive the essence of things - for example: without the strength of a doctor, even if you buy a doctoral diploma, you still don't have the strength of a doctor.
Is it the "Self-cultivation Gong" in the exercise column? This is a family tradition, a health practice. Although its grade is not high, it can still be 'used as a martial artist'.
However, other high-level exercises, when you are at the beginning of learning, you can use some ointments to enter the product; And "Cultivation of the Body", you must reach the 'first glimpse of the door' and study to a certain extent.
"It's a pity that the qualifications and comprehension of my body are not good, and I can't grasp that trick and enter the door for a long time, so I can't enter the product with martial arts!"
"Fang's Medical Skills" in the skills column, this is the skill that the predecessor learned since childhood, the guy who eats, needless to say.
The 'immortality' in the supernatural power column comes with the panel, and Fang Rui was very excited when he saw it at first, but it was in gray.
The information that Fang Rui perceived was that he could spend a large number of Tribulation Points to fully activate the 'Immortality Immortal' supernatural power, and then consume a little bit of Tribulation every day to maintain his state at the peak.
Another way is to spend a certain number of robbery points, temporarily activated, and have a one-time rejuvenation effect, after which it will still age normally.
Fang Rui actually understands this.
After all, how great should the energy to maintain immortality and resist the wear and tear of time be?
If there is no price, only from the underworld, it will make him uneasy.
Fang Rui is convinced of a truth: there is no free dinner in the world, and all the gifts of fate have already been secretly marked with prices.
"Rather than getting something for nothing, I believe more: do it yourself, have enough food and clothing."
With the 'Immortality' supernatural power, this means: as long as there are enough calamity points, Fang Rui will be able to live an endless life, and he will not be able to die of old age!
Of course, it was still too early for him to think about this at the age of sixteen or seventeen.
"In the past half a month, my luck points have only accumulated more than 40 points, and today, I have avoided the two disasters of Tiger Master and Mother, and directly made my luck points soar to 138 points...... It makes sense. ”
""Health Cultivation" and "Fang's Medical Technique", both of which have '+', but this does not mean that they can be improved by two at once."
Fang Rui was not carried away by the 138 points of robbery, and still remained sober: "It is very likely that after improving one of them, the other one will disappear because of the lack of robbery points." ”
Compared with "Fang's Medical Skills", it is naturally more urgent to improve "Health Cultivation".
After all, in troubled times, force is the most important!
"In the afternoon, I found that there were enough raid points, but it wouldn't take too long to break through normally, but there would be no accidents when the panel was raised...... That's why I've waited until now. ”
"It's time!"
A flash of expectation flashed in Fang Rui's eyes: "I don't have enough physical qualifications and understanding, so I'll make up for it by plugging in...... No, what cheat? That's all my own effort! ”
"Add some to me!"
Consciousness is at the '+' point behind "Cultivation of the Body".
Suddenly.
The raiding points on the panel are reduced like sand in a funnel.
At the same time, a bubbling and cool air flow wells up in the mind, swimming all over the body, a small part is intercepted by the body, and most of it rushes to the skin of the whole body.
Fang Rui felt as if he had taken a cold shower in the summer, cold but not cold, and the skin of his whole body was still a little itchy, as if someone was scratching with goose feathers.
In less than ten breaths, the cool air flow in my mind was gone, and the feeling disappeared.
"Is it over?"
Fang Rui subconsciously looked at the panel again.
[Name: Fang Rui]
[Robbery: 88]
[Exercises: Self-cultivation Exercises (First Glimpse of the Door)]
[Realm: Nine Grades (Dermabrasion)]
[Skill: Fang's Medical Skill (Skilled)]
[Divine Power: Immortality (Gray)]
……
"Breakthrough, 'First Glimpse of the Door' level of self-cultivation! The realm of nine products of grinding skin! ”
"It's just, did it consume 50 Doom Points?"
Fang Rui looked at the skill column, and his eyes flashed: "Sure enough, my previous worries were not superfluous, after the breakthrough of "Cultivation Skill", the '+' behind "Fang's Medical Technique" disappeared. In other words, after the proficiency level, does the "Fang's Medical Technique" need more robbery points? ”
"That's it, let's save the rest of the robbery points first!"
As soon as he thought about it, the light curtain of this panel turned into a tiny point of light again, and he couldn't find it without closing his eyes.
Then, I started to study the changes after the product was introduced.
"Strong feeling!"
Fang Rui stood up and stretched, the feeling of weakness in his body disappeared without a trace, and his strength seemed to have increased a lot.
I thought about it for a moment.
He aimed at the thick, big, and stupid wooden bed, grabbed the eaves of the bed with both hands, and with a sudden force, he lifted the wooden bed up!
This was never possible before.
"Two hundred catties of strength, there is still some...... This is still my lack of foundation, congenital weakness, and the increased strength after entering the product is not as good as others. ”
"But it's also more than the average person who can't get enough to eat!"
"And ......"
Fang Rui put down the wooden bed, found a pair of scissors, slid it on the back of his hand, and sneered, leaving only a white mark.
"Sure enough, the realm of nine-grade dermabrasion, the skin is like cowhide!"
Then.
Fang Rui's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered something: "Compared with others, although my congenital weakness increases my strength is insufficient, I also have an advantage: other people's dermabrasion for various reasons always has a cover door, but I am a point of luck improvement, and there is no leakage in my body!" ”
"In general, there are advantages and disadvantages, and when fighting, try to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses."
The realm of nine grades is like this, with rough skin and thick flesh and greater strength.
Don't look in front of heavily armed soldiers, it's nothing, even, two or three ordinary people with big knives can be put down and killed.
But, it also depends on who you compare with!
Are weapons so easy to get in this world?
Dayu forbids bows and crossbows, and can't ban swords, but better swords start directly from ten taels of silver, and ordinary people can't afford them at all.
Scissors and kitchen knives made of inferior iron can be afforded, but it is difficult to break the skin of the Nine Rank Martial Artists.
Moreover, ordinary people generally do not have enough to eat, where can their strength be?
Therefore.
Jiupin is like a strong person wearing cloth armor against an ordinary person who is malnourished.
From this point of view, the nine-rank martial artist is also a rare commodity.
Even the Tiger Gang, only a small number of elite gangs are the nine grades - just like the Tiger Lord, who is a nine-rank martial artist, plus some intra-gang connections, can get the fat difference of collecting money from an alley.
"My father Fang Baicao, although "Cultivation Gong" has gone far at the stage of the first glimpse of the doorway, it has not reached the realm of entering the house, it is still the ninth grade, but it can also shelter a Caozhi Hall."
"Half a month ago, he was able to go through a successful relationship and recruit soldiers on my behalf, in addition to the identity of a doctor, the strength of the Nine Rank Martial Arts is also an indispensable point."
Fang Rui's heart was full of realization: "In addition, today the Tiger Master let me go so easily, in addition to my kind words and happy payment, my father of the Nine Rank Martial Arts who went to the barracks is probably also an important factor." ”
"After all, Daddy just went to conscription, not dead!"
"Now, I am also a ninth grade, with such strength, there are some things that can be done."
Fang Rui's eyes flashed: "For example: go to the black market...... Of course, that will have to wait until it gets late, and before that, let's do something else! ”
Out of the back room.
Fang Xue and Fang Ling had already eaten, the former was washing dishes in the kitchen, and the latter was pouting his little butt and lying there wiping the table.
On the chair next to it, there was a small burlap bag, which contained a pound of sorghum noodles for Lao Chu's family, as well as a bowl from Sanniangzi's house that had been washed.
"Mother, I'm out." Fang Rui picked up the sack and bowl, shouted, and went out.
"It's dark, be careful." Fang Xue shouted from the kitchen.
"Got it."
……
Lao Chu's house is not far away, go out and turn around, and you will be there in a few steps.
Unlike other houses, where the lights are like beans, the lights are swaying, and the old Chu family is dim, Fang Rui knows that the old Chu family should be reluctant to light the lamp and pay for the lamp oil.
"Old Uncle Chu!"
Fang Rui knocked on the door, but did not respond, but knocked on the hidden door.
Take advantage of the moonlight to get in.
Not far from the door, I suddenly heard a low moan of pain of 'oops' and 'oops'.
"The voice seems to be coming from the back room."
Fang Rui took two steps forward and saw that Lao Chu was lying on the bed, constantly moaning in pain, his eyes were cloudy, his face was old, he was obviously in his forties, but he was as old as an old man in his seventies and eighties.
- This is due to the perennial heavy physical work, coupled with insufficient nutrition, the body is deficient, resulting in premature aging.
"Old Uncle Chu!" Fang Rui's voice was a little louder, and he screamed again.
This time, Lao Chu finally heard it, and looked over with a pair of cloudy eyes: "Brother Rui is here?" ”
He tried to sit up and say hello, but the wound on his body was involved, and his face was distorted in pain, and he screamed sharply 'oops' and 'oops'.
"Don't get up, Uncle Chu, you rest." Fang Rui said.
At this time, it seemed that he heard a voice, and in the kitchen behind, Xiao Chu came out with a blue nose and swollen face, and his face was immature, in fact, he was only a few months older than Fang Rui.
He held in his hands a wheat bran paste – a food that was more difficult to swallow than sorghum flour, sore throat, and extremely unnutritious.
Even, there is not much wheat bran paste, only half the bottom of the bowl.
"The old Chu family is in trouble, and when it comes to next month, I'm afraid it will ......"
Fang Rui thought like this in his heart, and said, "I'll come to see you and send some sorghum noodles." ”
"Thank you Brother Rui, you have a heart."
Lao Chu scolded his son like a stuffy gourd: "Why don't you go quickly? Pour it down, and return the sack to Brother Rui. ”
In this day and age, a small sack is also property.
"Hey!"
Xiao Chu put down the bowl at this time, lowered his head and took the sorghum noodles, and when he took the sorghum noodles from Fang Rui's hand, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he thanked him very quietly.
- If it weren't for Fang Rui's excellent hearing, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to hear it.
'That's a ......'
When Fang Rui saw such a Xiao Chu, his heart was inexplicably a little sour.
In his memory, Xiao Chu followed Lao Chu to walk the streets and alleys since he was a child, running east and west, with a cheerful and optimistic personality, and he used to share interesting stories with him outside, saying 'how beautiful the little girl is when you pass by and where you see it one day', and once said to him that 'I will marry a beautiful daughter-in-law in the future'......
Now, they are so depressed and silent, judging like two people.
This scene made Fang Rui more and more determined to become stronger, master power, and control his own destiny.
changed the bag of sorghum noodles and returned the sack to Fang Rui, and after that, Fang Rui did not stay, so he took his leave.
Xiao Chu sent Fang Rui out.
Fang Rui sensed: Xiao Chu seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
He didn't break it, pretended not to know, and left.
Wait for a distance.
Fang Rui suddenly stopped, couldn't hold back any longer, and scolded: "Damn, this world ...... way"
……
Because it is next to each other, the three ladies' house is closer, and it will arrive soon.
Knock knock!
Fang Rui knocked on the door.
"Who?" Inside the room, a childish voice sounded.
"Baby? I, you, Brother Ari. ”
Click.
The deadbolt was pulled, and the door with the fork inside opened, revealing a beautiful little girl of five or six years old, with a little cinnabar on her eyebrows, and wearing a skirt.
"Brother Arry!" She shouted.
"Where's your mother?" Fang Rui touched the little girl's head.
"Fetch water!"
Nan Nan said: "My mother told me that when I am at home alone, strangers should not open the door, and other neighbors should not open the door. ”
"That's smart."
Fang Rui scratched the little girl's nose and didn't ask her father - the third lady was a widow.
However, it is said that the third lady leaned on a military leader in the city.
He thinks that the probability is true, otherwise, with the posture of the three ladies, it is impossible to have a stable and peaceful life in this world.
"Brother Rui!"
At this moment, a melodious voice sounded behind him.
"Third sister!"
Fang Rui turned his head and just saw that the third lady put down the water urn, pinched her waist with one hand, and stroked the fine beads of sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand with the other hand, standing prettyly under the hazy moonlight like a tulle, obviously only in her twenties, her body as attractive as a peach was overflowing with the charm of a mature woman, charming and moving.
See this scene.
He was amazed, and his eyes were dull for a moment before he regained his clarity.
Let's be honest.
The predecessor fantasized about this big sister next door, in the past, Xiao Chu told him about the beautiful girl he met when he walked the streets, but the predecessor didn't say anything, but he scoffed in his heart, thinking that he couldn't compare to the three ladies.
Now?
Fang Rui...... Gluttony, too.
But he knows the reality, the ordinary soldiers in the county may not be in the product, but the military leader behind the third lady must be in the product, which is extremely difficult to provoke.
Beauty?
Fang Rui likes it, but if he wants to take such a risk, then I'm sorry, so I can only stay away.
"Brother Rui, are you here?"
The third lady smiled, like a blooming water lotus, swaying in the moonlight with a charming style that belongs to a mature woman.
She was a little surprised, she still knew something about Fang Rui's thoughts before, but she didn't think it was wrong.
After all, when other people looked at her, she didn't know that she was much dirty, in comparison, Fang Rui, a handsome young man, cowered and peeked, blushing and shy, did not disgust her, on the contrary, proved her charm, subconsciously proud and proud.
'Brother Rui...... Something seems to have changed these days. ’
The third lady said secretly in her heart.
For example: At this moment, Fang Rui did not blush and avoid his gaze as before, but looked at her generously, his eyes were clear, he was not timid, and he did not look where he shouldn't be.
This made her improve her evaluation of Fang Rui by two points, and she plans to sell more favors in the future.
Yes, sending dumplings before was just a family favor for the seller, after all, the Fang family's medical skills are heirlooms, and the seller's family affection can also be prepared for his daughter and her.
"Third sister, I'll return the bowl, where are you carrying water? I'm here to help you. ”
Fang Rui seemed calm, but there was still a little embarrassment in his heart after all, so he hurriedly changed the topic and came over to help.
Before the third lady refused, he moved the water urn at once.
But I didn't expect that there was a lot of water in the urn, and even the urn with water was seventy or eighty pounds, which was very heavy for a woman, but for him now, it was nothing.
It's just that the water man who moved so heavily did not conform to his previous personality.
In order to cover up this loophole, Fang Rui explained casually: "Recently, after eating a home remedies, I feel better and have more energy all over my body." ”
In fact, even if the third lady knew that he was in the product, it was not much of a hindrance, but he instinctively wanted to hide his hole cards.
"Really? That's a blessing, congratulations to Brother Rui. ”
The third lady smiled, her eyes flashing.
In her impression, Fang Rui has always been a sick seedling, and now like this, it doesn't seem to be better.
"Brother Rui, sit down, I'll pour you water."
"Thank you, third sister."
Fang Rui didn't refuse, sat down, deliberately snorted and dressed roughly, maintained his personality, and changed the topic at the same time: "Third sister, what did you do in the afternoon, I saw that when the old Chu family had an accident, your house was locked?" ”
The action of the third lady pouring water paused: "Buy something, today is the birth of Nannan." ”
"That's it, little lucky star, happy birthday."
Fang Rui scratched his nose, changed his words, and asked what he really cared about: "Third sister, you are well-informed, I want to inquire, how is it outside the county now?" ”
This is concerned about his own father.
"I don't know."
The third lady shook her head, hesitated, and said: "However, the reserve soldiers in the county government are also going to be dispatched, just in the next two days...... This is important news, and you must not spread it. ”
Originally, if it was Fang Rui in the past, she would never have said the news, but seeing Fang Rui's changes these days and Fang Cai's performance, she decided to sell a favor.
- After all, letting outsiders know that her backer is gone, there may be some unnecessary trouble, which is also a risk.
The third lady didn't say the source, but Fang Rui knew that it should be from the military leader behind her, so the accuracy of this news was very high.
"Third sister, thank you, I know, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."
Fang Rui agreed, but there was a sigh in his heart.
When will the reserve soldiers in the county government be dispatched for reinforcements in disguise?
It must be when the situation is unfavorable!
This means that Fang Baicao may be in danger when he goes out with the army.
Even though he knew this, Fang Rui's current strength could not do anything.
'I can't help my father, but I can still take precautions at home...... We must hurry up and go to the black market to buy grain. He thought to himself.
Afterwards.
Fang Rui chatted casually with the third lady for a few more words, and then said goodbye and left.
When he got home, he immediately found Fang Xue's family: "Mother, what about the family's savings, you bring some out for me, and I'll buy grain!" ”
……
