Although Cao Xiu didn't want to risk his life, it didn't prevent him from using other methods to try.

So he exited the space and returned to the courtyard.

Looking left and right, there was only an old locust tree with dense foliage in the empty yard besides him.

Cao Xiu shook his head, thought about it, got up and walked towards the door.

As his figure appeared, several women sitting at the gate basking in the sun while pulling the soles of their shoes suddenly stopped, and their eyes fell on him.

After all, the news that Cao Xiu was almost sucked dry is spreading, and since he has gone out, of course he will attract everyone's attention.

"Xiao Cao came out?"

An aunt in her fifties greeted with a smile: "I see that your face is not very good-looking, where are you going?" ”

"Well, go buy something."

Cao Xiu responded with a faint expression.

He didn't dare to be too enthusiastic about these old ladies, otherwise it would be absolutely endless nonsense that would follow, delaying his time in vain.

This is the experience of being pulled by these women to match him dozens of times in the past.

No way, if you look too handsome, you will always have such troubles.

As someone in the alley greeted him, he could clearly perceive movement in the homes where there were daughters.

For example, the second girl of Lao Wang's family next door hid behind the window with a red face and peeked, and some of the more daring ones walked out of the yard directly, standing in front of the gate and pretending to chat with those aunts and aunts, but in fact, all eyes were on him.

The fat girl of the Li Zheng family was even more bold, and she ran out of the courtyard all the way, and for the seventeenth time, she was 'unstable under her feet' and almost pounced on Cao Xiu.

It's a pity that he avoided it with a slight flash.

"Brother Cao Xiu......"

The fat girl was obviously a little dissatisfied.

Cao Xiu looked at the little chubby girl in front of him who was dark-skinned and had a body as strong as Chen Shiyou's, and sneered at him with a shyness on her face, and suddenly couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly left.

But before he could go far, he heard a few middle-aged and elderly women whispering where they were, saying that the rumor that he was almost sucked dry was indeed true, otherwise why would he be shivering in public, obviously because his body was very weak!

Cao Xiu scolded secretly in his heart, and he didn't know which guy spread it.

But he didn't have any argument with them, and walked quickly out of the alley.

"Cao Xiu......"

When I approached the street, a soft voice came to my ears.

He looked away, and sure enough, he saw the pretty little widow waving at him from the half-hidden door.

And look at him as greedy as ever, as if he was going to swallow him in one gulp.

Cao Xiu instinctively shuddered again, and quickened his pace and walked forward.

Originally, he also had some thoughts about this beautiful little widow, and felt that if he wanted to change his cultivation in the future, he could consider looking for her.

It's just that now my body is very weak, and I don't have the energy to mess around.

Out of the alley, I walked along the street and walked forward, and after a short time I came to the market not far from the Land Temple.

He glanced left and right, his gaze swept over the stalls selling live chickens and ducks.

I just watched the live poultry not stay in the end, but looked at a small goat that was tethered to the cart not far away.

This goat is not too big, and it weighs more than 20 pounds.

However, the two hind legs have broken for some reason, and there are still some blood stains on the body, obviously the injury is not light, and the appearance of lying on the ground with weak breath is obviously not alive for a few days.

Cao Xiu hesitated for a moment, then walked up to the vendor and bought the goat that looked dying for nine hundred and sixty yuan.

Ewes that can give birth are generally more expensive than rams, but this dying goat is obviously not among them, and if it is so badly injured, it can basically only be used to kill and eat meat.

Cao Xiu first went to the side to buy a wicker pig cage, put the goat in it, and then walked towards the house.

Although his body is still very weak, he is a young man after all, and his body is strong and his strength is far beyond ordinary people after years of cultivation, and it is not heavy to carry a thing of twenty or thirty catties.

When he got home, he closed the doors and windows, and after making sure there were no leaks, he dodged into the space.

The hill was as deserted as ever.

Cao Xiu didn't look much at it, he plucked a leaf from a waist-high tree, folded it into the shape of a simple spoon, and squatted down to scoop a drop of water from the spring water at the bottom of the pond.

He didn't dare to go too far.

There was only so much water in total, and it would be a big loss to give all the water to the goats for a test.

However, to his surprise, this drop of water looked very small, but it was unexpectedly heavy, and it seemed to be several times heavier than the same volume of stones, gold and iron.

Although Cao Xiu was surprised, he didn't stop because of this.

He dodged out of the cave, broke open the goat's mouth, fed the drop of water into the goat's mouth, and then crouched aside to watch.

Then, a surprising scene appeared.

The little lamb, which was still dying, is regaining its vitality at an alarming rate.

Not only did the injuries on his body recover quickly, but even the two broken hind legs recovered after a clicking sound.

Looking at the goats that were jumping and bleating, Cao Xiu's eyes lit up.

I didn't expect that the spring water in the cave was so magical, just a drop could completely restore the goat that could only wait for death.

No, even more energetic than before.

Because it has already begun to shake its body in the cage, trying to get out of the restraints.

Cao Xiu silently observed for a long time, saw that it kept tossing, then released it from the cage, found a rope to tie it under the big locust tree, and watched it run back and forth with energy.

Towards the end of the evening, Chen Shi ran over with a food box.

"Huh? Where do the sheep come from in the yard? ”

The swarthy boy looked at it curiously, and found that the half-sized sheep was quite lively, and when he walked past it, he even wanted to use his horns to push him.

"I went out and bought it in the afternoon!"

Cao Xiu smiled: "Come over at noon tomorrow, let's eat mutton!" ”

"Even if you have serious physical losses, you don't need to be so lavish!"

Chen Shi shook his head: "It's not easy for Aunt Qin to run the house, you still save some flowers." ”

"Don't worry, I have my own plans in my heart, and I won't ruin my family."

"That's good!"

While speaking, Chen Shi put the food box on the table, opened it and took out a large bowl of braised donkey meat, a clear stew of soft-shelled turtle, and finally a bowl of white rice.

"Let's eat."

Cao Xiu looked at the dishes on the table.

In the soft-shelled turtle soup, you can see a vintage old mountain ginseng, and the donkey meat is even more fragrant, which makes him particularly appetizing.

"Together?"

He beckoned Chen Shi to sit down.

"No!"

Chen Shi shook his head: "I've eaten at home, and besides, these are for you to nourish your body, so you're polite." ”

"Okay!"

Cao Xiu was no longer polite when he heard this, now that he was weak, he really needed a lot of meat to progress, so he picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them, and the speed was extremely fast, but in a quarter of an hour, he ate the food cleanly.

After Chen Shi packed up the dishes and chopsticks and left, Cao Xiu stared at the sheep for most of the hour, until it quieted down, and then returned to the room to rest.

In fact, according to his idea, he would rather hide in the cave in the painting and sleep, so that he doesn't have to worry about any more demons and monsters coming to the door.

It's a pity that there is only that small hill in the cave where he can stay, and the surroundings are not only desolate but also a little cold, and his current physical state is not suitable for sleeping there.

When he woke up the next day, Cao Xiu went to see the sheep as soon as possible, and found that there was no other abnormality except for the extraordinarily vigorous energy and unusually smooth fur, and there was no sign that the energy was too majestic and was strangled to death.

Since this goat is fine, it means that he can also drink the spring water in the cave!

Cao Xiu entered the cave excitedly, carefully took out another drop of water with the leaf, and swallowed it in his mouth.

Suddenly, a coolness erupted from the abdomen, and the rich vitality quickly spread throughout the body.

In just a moment, the feeling of weakness in his body had dissipated without a trace, making Cao Xiu feel the strength of his body again.

Even with the blessing of that vigorous vitality, his strength continued to rise, his muscles became stronger, his bones became stronger, and even his eyes became brighter and brighter.

The originally cold back no longer felt the slightest chill, and the whole person returned to the state of dragon spirit and tiger fierceness.
