Chapter 38: The Swamp Village (Part II)
Puyi looked at Long Yeyu kindly, waved his hand and said: "Call the old man village chief! Don't call the old man the monk!" Long Yeyu hurriedly replied: "Yes! The junior understands" Puyi looked at Long Yeyu and thought for a while and said: "Long Shaoxia! There are two kinds of muscles to strengthen with the blood of Huangquan crocodile, I don't know if the senior brother told you?" Long Yeyu listened to Puyi's words and said respectfully: "Come back to your senses...... The village chief's words! Puzhi Divine Monk didn't say it! How to use the blood of the Huangquan crocodile to strengthen the muscles, are there two kinds? I don't know which two?" Puyi looked at Long Yeyu and said: "But there are two kinds of them! The first is to use the blood of the Huangquan crocodile to apply directly to the skin, but this method is slow, and I am afraid that it will take a year and a half to take effect! And the other method is to soak the blood of the Huangquan crocodile for 9981 days to strengthen the muscles to the strongest. But the pain in this is inhuman! And once it fails, it will be difficult to strengthen the body with the blood of the Yellow Spring Crocodile!"
Long Yeyu didn't think about it and said, "The juniors will choose the second method! Soak in the blood of the Huangquan crocodile for nine hundred and eighty-one days." Puyi looked at Long Yeyu with some surprise and said, "Long Shaoxia is not thinking about it!" Long Yeyu said respectfully: "Thank you for the village chief's concern! The younger generation will choose this second type!" Puyi's eyes showed a hint of praise, and then said: "Okay! Since Long Shaoxia you have chosen, the old man will help you prepare!" Long Yeyu hurriedly got up and saluted and said, "Thank you to the village chief!" And at this time, Zuo Ying's voice came from outside the door. I only heard Zuo Ying say respectfully: "Village Chief! The meal is ready!"
Puyi also stood up, helped Long Yeyu up, and said, "Let's go, let's go to dinner!" After speaking, he opened the door. I saw that in addition to Zuo Ying, there were Ah Hu and the injured Ah Leopard outside, and when I saw Ah Hu, I smiled and said, "What? Afraid that the old man will be bad for Long Shaoxia?" Hearing the words of the village chief, Ah Hu hurriedly said respectfully: "How come! Ah Hu just invited the village chief to dinner with his younger brother!" Pu Yi smiled and pointed at Ah Hu, and walked towards the place where the green smoke was not far away. Seeing Puyi walking away, Ah Hu cautiously looked at Puyi who was walking away and asked, "Brother Long, the village chief didn't embarrass you, right?" When Long Yeyu heard Ah Hu's words, he smiled in his heart and said, "No! The village chief just chatted with me about family life!"
At this time, Zuo Ying, who was holding Ah Leopard, said: "Let's go, otherwise I will be scolded again!" When several people heard this, they hurriedly helped Ah Leopard and chased after the village chief...... Long Yeyu, who looked like he was fine, couldn't help asking, "Ah Leopard, how did your injury heal so quickly?" After speaking, he also took a special look at Ah Leopard's injured leg, only to see that the leg was wrapped with a white cloth and no longer bleeding. Ah Leopard looked at his legs and said with a smile: "At this time, Ge Lao gave Bao Ge Lao said that it would be fine in three days!" Long Yeyu couldn't help but wonder when he heard this, could this Ge Lao be an alchemist! After a while, Long Yeyu and a few people came to the place to eat, it turned out that the whole village was eating together, so that everyone could taste whoever had any characteristics!
Ah Hu dragged Long Yeyu to his side and said, "Come on, come on...... Brother Long, you just sit here and have a few drinks with me today!" Long Yeyu, who sat down, smiled and said: "Okay! Just wait for Brother Tiger, what are you saying!" Haha...... And there are three or four young men on this table in addition to Zuo Ying and Ah Leopard! They all looked at Long Yeyu and smiled kindly, and then Long Yeyu looked around and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Tiger, where is the big cow?" Hearing Long Yeyu's question, Ah Hu poured wine for Long Yeyu, and said: "Da Niu and Ah San Ah Si are on guard around? Hearing Ah Hu's words, Long Yeyu nodded.
At this time, Puyi stood up and said: "Before eating, the old man wants to say a few words!" Hearing Puyi's words, the originally lively scene instantly calmed down, and they all looked at Puyi with respect, and Puyi coughed softly, and then pointed to Long Yeyu and said: "This is Long Yeyu Long Shaoxia! I came here from Nantian Ancient Temple to practice! Speaking of which, I still have some relationship with the old man, so the old man plans to let Long Shaoxia live in our swamp village for a while." I don't know if you have any opinions?" After speaking, he sat down, and the old man who looked very ordinary next to Puyi glanced at Long Yeyu and said, "Since the village chief has said so, I don't have any opinions!"
On the right is a burly-looking middle-aged man, and the most noticeable thing is that the arms of the middle-aged man are twice as thick as ordinary people, and he said in an extremely crazy voice: "I have no opinion!" and Ah Hu, who was next to Long Yeyu, said: "It was Ge Lao who spoke just now! In our village, except for the village chief, Ge Lao said it! And on the right, Uncle Yang has a good weapon, and the weapons of me and Da Niu Zuoying and Ah Leopard are all beaten by Uncle Yang!" After listening to Ah Hu's introduction, Long Yeyu thought to himself: "Isn't this the alchemist and the blacksmith?"
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Long Yeyu's face. Long Yeyu stood up with a smile and hugged his fists at everyone and said, "I've seen you all in Xia Long Yeyu!" Hearing Long Yeyu's greeting, everyone laughed kindly. At this time, Puyi glanced at Long Yeyu with approval in his eyes and said, "Since there is no objection!, let's have a meal!" After speaking, the scene suddenly became lively. Ah Hu picked up the bowl full of wine and said to Long Yeyu: "Come on, Brother Long, let's do one!" Long Yeyu also picked up the bowl and said proudly: "Okay!
Several young men around cheered when they saw this. At this time, Ah Leopard and Zuo Ying both raised their bowls and said, "I, Ah Leopard (Zuo Ying) salute the dragon brothers!" Long Yeyu hurriedly poured the rescue on and said, "Okay! Looking at the remaining young men on the table, they all picked up the bowl and said, "Come on...... I ...... I ...... Big Bear I...... Brother Jinglong!" Long Yeyu was comer, and he didn't refuse to pick up the bowl and said, "Dry!" Seeing Long Yeyu so clean, Suo Ahu laughed and said: "Hahaha...... Okay! worthy of my brother!Come and make a bowl!" After speaking, he picked up the bowl and dried, and Long Yeyu also drank it all...... Long Yeyu didn't know how many bowls he drank, and in the end, even the big cow came back.
When he woke up the next day, Long Yeyu's head was still a little painful, and at this time, a woman walked in with a bowl in her hand, and saw Long Yeyu wake up, and hurriedly shouted from outside: "Brother Tiger, Brother Long is awake!" Hearing the woman's words, Ah Hu came in from outside, looked at Long Yeyu and said, "Brother Long, you're awake!" Long Yeyu got up and looked at Ah Hu and said, "Let Brother Tiger see the joke!" Ah Hu laughed: "Hahaha...... Brother Long, what are you talking about! You are now the most drinkable in our village, and even the big cow has let you give it to you!" Long Yeyu also laughed after hearing this, and the woman behind Ah Hu stepped forward and said, "Come! Brother Long drink this bowl of soup to relieve hangover!" After speaking, he handed the bowl in his hand to Long Yeyu.
Long Yeyu took the soup and looked at the woman and said, "This is ......" Ah Hu looked at the woman gently and said: "This is my daughter-in-law! Cuihua!" Long Yeyu hurriedly put down the soup and hugged his fist and said: "I have met my sister-in-law! Thank you sister-in-law for your concern!" Cuihua blushed and hurriedly said: "Brother Long, see outside! By the way, Brother Long hasn't had breakfast yet! You two brothers are talking about the slave family and go to give Brother Long hot food!" After speaking, he walked out of the room. Looking at the departing Cuihua Ah Hu, he smirked, and after Long Yeyu drank the soup, he heard a noise outside, and Long Yeyu couldn't help asking: "Brother Tiger, what's going on outside!" Hearing Long Yeyu's question, Ah Hu came back to his senses and said, "Brother Long, what did you just say?"
Long Yeyu got up and went down to the ground to look at Ah Hu and said, "Brother Tiger, I'm asking what's going on outside? Why is it so lively?" Ah Hu laughed after hearing this: "Hahaha...... Is it the children in the village who are doing the coming-of-age ceremony? Do you want to go and see it?" Long Yeyu was also quite curious when he heard this, so he said, "Okay! I haven't seen the coming-of-age ceremony yet?" As soon as Ah Hu heard this, he pulled up Long Yeyu and walked out, just as he happened to bump into the green flower that was about to enter the house. Ah Hu hurriedly hugged Cuihua and Long Yeyu took the meal, Cuihua glanced at Ah Hu with disgust, and said with a ruddy face: "Don't let go of the slave family yet!"
Cuihua looked at the two people who were going out and couldn't help asking, "Brother Tiger, where are you going to take Brother Long?" Hearing Cuihua's question, Ah Hu scratched his head and said, "Brother Long said that he hasn't seen the coming-of-age ceremony yet, so I'll take him to see it!" After listening to Ah Hu's words, Cuihua glanced at Ah Hu and said, "Even if you want to go, wait for Brother Long to finish eating!" Hearing Cuihua say this, Ah Hu patted his head and said, "Yes, Brother Long, let's eat first!" In fact, Long Yeyu was really hungry, and when he heard Ah Hu's answer, Long Yeyu picked up the rice bowl and ate it...... After a while, Long Yeyu settled the battle and said to Ah Hu: "I'm done eating! Brother Tiger! I think you seem to be in a more anxious hurry than me?"
Hearing Long Yeyu's words, Ah Hu smiled: "Hehe...... The baby who is dissatisfied with Brother Long is also among them!" Long Yeyu quickly got up and said, "What are you waiting for! Brother Tiger is leaving!" Ah Hu laughed when he heard it: "Hehe...... Let's go!" he walked quickly towards the center of the village. And Long Yeyu also followed, only to see that the center of the village was full of people, extremely lively, and in the center was the village chief Puyi, and on the left was Ge Lao, and on the right was Uncle Yang, and on the opposite side were four teenagers who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old. Puyi saw Long Yeyu nodding with a smile, while Ge Lao was expressionless, and Uncle Yang opened his mouth and smiled, Long Yeyu also smiled and nodded.
At this time, the village chief Pu Yi said solemnly: "After today, you will be adults! Now you can choose the same craft, whether you can learn to cure diseases and save people with Ge Lao, or learn to build weapons with Yang Da Hammer, or be a hunter like your father!" After finishing speaking, the first seemingly thin boy on the left walked out and respectfully saluted the three village chiefs and said, "I want to learn from Ge Lao to cure diseases and save people!" and the second one also wanted to learn from Ge Lao to cure diseases and save people!" and the second one also wanted the village chief to salute and then said: "I want to be a hunter like my father!" And the third said: "I want to learn to build weapons with Uncle Yang!" When the last one was waiting, suddenly Ah Hu said excitedly: "Brother Long! This is my baby!
Hearing Ah Hu's words, Long Yeyu couldn't help but look at the last teenager carefully, only to see that this teenager was stronger than the other three teenagers, and there was a hint of fortitude in his eyes. When he saw Xiaohu come out, Ge Lao and Yang Dazhui next to him lit up, and after Xiaohu finished saluting the three of them, he said: "I want to be a hunter who can defend the village like my father!" Hearing that Xiaohu wants to be a hunter, Ge Lao and Yang Dazhui both had dark eyes, only the village Puyi said with a smile: "Okay! Now that you have all chosen, let's start the ritual of sacrificing to the sky!" After the village chief finished speaking, two men came up next to him and held a tray in their hands, and on the tray was the head of the Huangquan crocodile and the other was some unknown fruit!
I saw the village chief put the two trays on the altar, then knelt on the ground and said, "The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens starts now!" After speaking, except for Long Yeyu, the other people, regardless of men, women, and children, knelt down and began to worship the heavens. Therefore, Long Yeyu didn't believe in the heavens, and after worshipping the heavens, Ah Hu and Long Yeyu returned to Ah Hu's house, and as soon as they entered the house, they saw Xiaohu standing there and looking at Long Yeyu strangely. Ah Hu said angrily when he saw it: "Don't come here to salute yet! This is your Uncle Long!" When Xiaohu heard this, he hurriedly walked over and knelt on the ground to salute Long Yeyu and said: "Xiaohu meets Uncle Long!" Long Yeyu hurriedly helped Xiaohu up and said: "Since you call me uncle! Today is your adulthood, which uncle will give you a gift!"
After speaking, he took out the treasure weapon ghost killing from the Qiankun bag and put it in Xiaohu's hand, Ah Hu knew that it was extraordinary when he saw it, and hurriedly said: "Brother Long! This little tiger can't be wanted! It's too precious!" Long Yeyu looked at Ah Hu and said with a smile: "Brother Tiger, unless you don't recognize me as a brother, don't stop it!" Ah Hu heard this little tiger and said, "Thank you Uncle Long!" Xiaohu knew that it was a good baby when he took the ghost kill, and when he heard that his father agreed, he quickly knelt on the ground and said happily, "Thank you Uncle Long!" Long Yeyu hurriedly helped him up and said, "This dagger is called Ghost Killing!, it's a treasure weapon!" Hearing Long Yeyu's words. Ah Hu asked strangely, "Brother Long, what is a treasure weapon?"
