Chapter 2 He Yi
Outside, the stove was filled with firewood and blazing, and boiling water was churning in the large iron pot on the stove.
The big white goose fell under the stove, its feet tied, quacking and struggling.
Liu Xiaolou grabbed the neck of the big white goose with his left hand, held a kitchen knife in his right hand, and muttered to explain: "Dabai, I can't complain about the Taoist master this time, if there is an afterlife, you will still vote for my family, and I will raise you." ”
A piece of spirit stone that was finally obtained was robbed of food by this animal, and the owner was angry, and the blood flowed!
Just as the kitchen knife was about to be cut off, tears fell from the big white goose's eyes, and he looked at Liu Xiaolou affectionately.
At this glance, the resolute intention in Liu Xiaolou's heart that had just been erected suddenly melted, and the kitchen knife was compared on the goose's neck for a long time, but he couldn't cut it down.
The big white goose tears continued to roll down, and Liu Xiaolou finally sat down, and the kitchen knife with cold light in his palm fell to the ground.
"Dabai, do you know how much the Dao Master has to do for this spirit stone......
"Dao Ye hasn't had a trace of spiritual power in his account for three months, and the Dongyang faction won't accept our ......."
"Spirit stone, it's not like you haven't eaten it before, what's the use of eating it? There's a fart......"
"Besides, this is not for Dao Ye, this is a congratulatory gift for Brother Wei! Do you know about congratulatory gifts? Dao Ye is reluctant to eat ......"
"The old man didn't know where to hatch you, he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't cultivate a spirit bird, after so many years, he still ...... like a fat pig."
"Only stealing ......"
After complaining, he finally untied the rope that bound the big white goose and let it flapp its wings and escape.
"Get out, don't come back! I'm angry when I see you! Liu Xiaolou roared behind the beast.
The big white goose glanced back, fled farther, and disappeared into the bamboo forest in the blink of an eye.
In the middle of the day, Liu Xiaolou was exposed to fine beads of sweat, and there were bursts of cicadas in the bamboo forest, which made people drowsy. He calmed down, tried his best to cheer up, went to the forest to cut a bamboo shoot, stripped off the bamboo clothes, and threw it directly into the boiling iron pot on the stove.
The spirit stone has been stolen and eaten, it is useless to think about it, and the life has to go on, and now the realm is low, but it is only the second layer of qi refining, and it is not a luxury to hope for such a high and profound method as Bigu, so I will fill my stomach first.
While the tender bamboo shoots were boiling in the water, the big white goose jumped back from the forest, carrying a fat fish a foot long, leaping on the stove with its wings fluttering, and throwing the fat fish into the boiling water. The fat fish tossed a few waves in the pot, resigned itself to stopping the struggle, and the big white goose jumped down from the stove with satisfaction, and "quacked" at Liu Xiaolou twice.
Liu Xiaolou kicked over angrily: "A fish wants to top my spirit stone?" Why don't you die? ”
The big white goose fluttered its wings and jumped away, and then rushed into the bamboo forest and disappeared.
There is also a wonderful thing about raising this livestock, often pouring some fish, shrimp, rabbits and rats from the mountains to the family, saving time to hunt and not being hungry.
A pot of bamboo shoot and fish soup filled Liu Xiaolou's stomach, and he came to the house, moved the bed board, dusted off the soil, and revealed the wooden box buried underneath.
When I opened the box, there was an old ginseng plant hidden inside. This is not an ordinary mountain ginseng, it is a spiritual ginseng handed down by the deceased old man, three hundred years old, even if it is not used with Dan, it can increase a lot of true yuan just by eating it raw, at least three spirit stones!
Today is the double cultivation gift of his righteous brother Wei Hongqing, the original congratulatory gift is a spirit stone, because the shopkeeper Su suddenly visited, he didn't look at it, and he was swallowed by Dabai when he turned his face, who to reason with? The Sanxuanmen left by the old man was as clean as this, and if he wanted to give a gift, he only had the last remaining spiritual ginseng.
After all, they are righteous brothers who take care of themselves in many ways, how can they come to the door empty-handed on the wedding day?
Liu Xiaolou was very reluctant, holding the spirit ginseng and sighing, only to feel that even if he held it for a few more moments, it would be good. It was nearly dusk, and when it came to the agreed wedding banquet, I couldn't hold it anymore, so I finally wrapped a red ribbon around the ginseng, adding a bit of festivity, and took it down the mountain.
Wei Hongqing practiced in the Ghost Dream Cliff, only half an hour away from the Qianzhuling mountain road, when Liu Xiaolou arrived, the sun was sinking in the west, so he accelerated his pace to climb the cliff. The double cultivation gift of his good brother was late, and he couldn't help but feel very sorry in his heart.
There is a stone cave on the cliff, it is Wei Hongqing's cave house, the cultivation cave house of Wulong Mountain has always been very simple, either thatched hut, or stone cave, there are only simple furnishings in the cave, there are no valuable objects, there is no other, it is easy to escape when the famous family is sent to clean up.
Of course, today is special, Wei Hongqing's Ghost Dream Cliff is still arranged, with bright red silk ribbons and lanterns hanging all over the mountain wall in front of the cave, and three tables are placed outside, all covered with wine and food. There are not many casual cultivators who are close to Wei Hongqing, and I heard that there are only six people invited in total, counting the relatives and friends of several teachers and elders from the side of the double cultivators, that is, twelve seats.
I'm the first to arrive.
Wei Hongqing was drinking at the main table.
Liu Xiaolou stepped forward with a smile and sat down beside him, Wei Hongqing casually poured him a cup, he also raised his glass and drank it, took out the spirit ginseng, put it on the table, and pushed it over with a regretful face.
"The spiritual ginseng that my teacher picked from Shouyang Mountain is three hundred years old, and you are double cultivating today, which can be regarded as a little heart, don't shirk."
Wei Hongqing didn't refuse, took it and looked at it in front of him for a moment, and then took a bite of it.
"No......" Liu Xiaolou was caught off guard and wanted to stop it, but realized that this spirit ginseng had been given out by himself as a congratulatory gift, so he had to endure his heartache and said, "It's not like this...... Is it bad to soak in wine? It's bad...... Besides, my sister-in-law hasn't come yet, what's the matter if you're eaten? My sister-in-law hasn't seen this ginseng yet! Hey, don't eat it......"
Wei Hongqing only ate a few bites, and his face was already red. His cultivation at the fifth level of Qi refining, even if his tolerance for spiritual power was several times stronger than Liu Xiaolou's, and he ate half a small spiritual ginseng in one go, he was choked by the abundant true yuan contained.
After he eased up a little, Liu Xiaolou looked at the remaining half of the spiritual ginseng with a heartache, and said: "Don't eat it, keep it for my sister-in-law as a witness, otherwise I think my brother is here to eat white food...... "looked at the empty cave and the empty dining table, and asked: "When will the relatives arrive?" What about the Lord of the Left Gorge, why haven't they arrived? ”
saw Wei Hongqing's eyes red, and looked at Liu Xiaolou stunned.
"What's wrong, Brother Wei? This is...... Speak...... Speak! ”
"Ling'er is not married......"
"What?"
"My brother was divorced by the Xia family......"
Liu Xiaolou was stunned, and suddenly exploded: "Why? I'll look for them! ”
Wei Hongqing said sadly: "I married into the Zhanglong faction, and I will be a concubine for Zang Qianli, the inner disciple of the Zhanglong faction......"
Liu Xiaolou, who had just exploded, was silent instantly.
What about the concubine?
The Zhanglong faction is a famous sect in Xiangxi, occupying the blessed land of Zhanglong Mountain, since Zang Qianli is a disciple of the inner sect of the Zhanglong faction, the future must be limitless, even if Ling'er is a concubine, it is much stronger than Wei Hongqing, who followed Wei Hongqing who was scattered in Wulong Mountain, no wonder the Xia family remarried.
Liu Xiaolou could only comfort: "Brother Wei suffered this great humiliation, my brothers and I will be the enemy, this year my brother will make an appointment with the same way in the mountains, and when the autumn harvest is this year, I will never go to his house to help." ”
Wei Hongqing patted his hand to show his gratitude.
Liu Xiaolou asked again: "What about the Lord of Zuoxia?" Don't come to the ...... Feast? ”
Wei Hongqing smiled bitterly: "If there is no wedding ceremony, how can there be a wedding banquet?" If there is no wedding banquet, what will you do here? ”
didn't know how to comfort him, Liu Xiaolou could only accompany Wei Hongqing to drink stuffy.
The so-called wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk, after drinking for a long time, Liu Xiaolou is fine, but Wei Hongqing is already drunk, before getting drunk, he finally cried: "Xiaolou, go back, don't care about your brother, just let your brother be alone for a while......"
