The bucket is very heavy, especially when you go out of the alley and turn right 100 meters to fetch water, and then carry the bucket full of water back and then through the alley.

If the water in the bucket is spilled, he will draw water in vain.

Walking in the narrowest place, there is no way to exert strength, and it is very difficult.

Chen Li went back and forth more than 20 times before filling the vat with water, and he was already tired and sweaty, and his arms were sore.

He shook his arm and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

No matter how bad Bai Qi is, he is embarrassed to let Chen Li do white work. He took out ten copper coins and handed them to Chen Li, and when he beat these waters, he got 10 copper coins, which can be regarded as earned.

If it's a coolie carrying a sack by the river, I'm afraid I'm already getting high at the moment.

Chen Li still shook his head stubbornly, "I can't ask for your money." Then he turned and left. When he walked up to the old lady, he pretended to ask the old lady if she had ever seen a blue-haired and thin unicorn deer.

The old lady naturally shook her head blankly, and Chen Li pretended to continue looking for someone and walked away.

Bai raised his hands behind his back and watched Chen Li leave seriously, without saying a word.

But the old lady snorted, "Are you a hippopotamus, and why do you drink so much water?"

Bai Qi was still standing at the door staring at Chen Li, but when he heard the old lady's sarcasm, he immediately replied with a louder cold snort, then turned around and entered the courtyard, slamming the dilapidated wooden door shut.

The old lady glanced at the closed wooden door, pursed her lips while fanning the fan, and muttered, "Old immortal stinky old man!" and continued to squint to enjoy the rare wind under the fan.

........................

After a day of running around and encountering a lot of things, Chen Li returned home and first practiced swords and exercised his body according to his habits, and then returned to his room to continue meditating.

Chen Li entered a meditative state, and it took about a quarter of an hour for his spirit to enter a state of emptiness, and the sounds and scenes around him became a little ethereal.

The spirit is released, the environment around your room is explored, and the particles in the air become active. The fire elemental is shining brightly, forever jumping with excitement. The water element is gentle and cool, flowing steadily. The electric element always jumps out very suddenly, hides again, always bursts and produces, and then suddenly escapes.

The fire element bursts, the water element is gentle, and the thunder element is unruly.

Chen Li has to work hard to capture the thunder and lightning element, and then guide the thunder and lightning element to approach him through spiritual association.

Then through the spiritual power, you can feel the form of the thunder and lightning elements connected together.

When they are together, how the pattern is very dangerous, how the state is out of control, how the arrangement will have more stability......

The thunder and lightning element is like a shy girl, Chen Li is trying to understand her, trying to get close to her, trying to integrate into her, so that when they are interdependent in the future, they can control her.

And this shy thunderbolt girl is always dodging, wanting to welcome and refuse. Sometimes it seems that it has been controlled, but it suddenly strings into a string of blue thunder and lightning elements and scurries away. Sometimes it seems to ignore him, but suddenly they form a group and rush in front of him.

Compared to the fire element and the water element, the lightning element is a little more jumpy.

Forgive her for her life of uninhibited love and freedom......

Often at the end of the meditation, Chen Li was already sweating, tired and just wanted to stay motionless on the bed.

He remembered that there had been magicians who had described the situation of them controlling the elements of magic, like having sex with an unrestrained girl, with an expression on their own, and the other party immediately knew where your cool point was, and was able to cooperate quickly and understandingly.

But at this moment, Chen Li couldn't feel that hearty feeling at all, and could only try hard to chase the magic element.

The next day, Chen Li exercised and meditated in his small courtyard, and in the evening, he went to the alley by the southeast city wall.

Old man Bai was still struggling to carry the bucket, Chen Li smiled slightly, and walked over.

"Old man, I'd better come. Chen Li reached out and grabbed the bucket from the old man's hand.

Bai Qi turned his hand and dodged, "You're okay every day, what kind of water are you coming here to help me get water?"

Chen Li had already thought about the words to answer him, so he said with a smile: "Does the old man have no relatives? At such an age, he can't stand the body to do these jobs by himself." I have to exercise anyway, and I'm pounding the pillars at home every day, and it's the same with carrying water. As he spoke, he showed off his fist clenching fists to show off his arm muscles. As a result, the thin flesh on the arm shook, and the body was really in poor health.

The old man frowned, "Which child are you?"

Chen Li replied with a smile: "I am from the Chen family in the south of the city, and you don't know if you say it, the family has declined." Although he was smiling, his eyes were a little worried, he was busy pursing the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "The old man doesn't have to feel embarrassed, I have nothing to do when I stay at home, and I can do something meaningful and good here." ”

Bai Qi snorted, "Nothing to do, go learn some crafts, what to do and run here to fetch water." ”

"Yo, old man Bai, someone is working for you, do you still pick, boy, why don't you fetch water for me?" The old lady still sat at the door and fanned herself, looking at Chen Li, and smiled very kindly, but her words to Old Man Bai were full of sarcasm.

"You have a son, what do you want others to do for you?" Old Man Bai snorted again.

The old lady shook her fan, looked at the servile face of the old man Bai, laughed happily, and covered her face with the fan with a smile.

The old man Bai gritted his teeth angrily, turned his head to look at Chen Li, but saw that this kid had already carried a bucket and walked towards the mouth of the alley.

"What virtue have you accumulated, and someone will fetch you water. I guess I'll be annoyed in two days, and you won't see this kid tomorrow. The old lady looked at Chen Li's difficult back of carrying the bucket, this kid is so thin, and his strength is not very good.

When Chen Li came back from the first bucket of water, Old Man Bai didn't say anything, just carefully observed Chen Li on the side.

Chen Li felt as if he was being stripped naked for inspection, and his white eyes were sharp. Chen Li knew that this old man was a senior who had really seen the world, and he didn't want to hide anything, so he smiled naturally, and then fetched water back and forth.

When Chen Li started to fetch water, the tank was almost empty. In other words, Bai Qi used up such a full tank of water overnight, what was he doing?

Chen Li was puzzled while fetching water.

When the tank was full, Chen Li's hands were still weak, and he felt that his arms were weak and he couldn't hold his fists, but he still left with a smile.

Old man Bai looked at Chen Li, his eyes were still just strafing him, with a straight face, neither saying gratitude nor zaijian. After looking at Chen Li's greeting with a smile like that, he left alone.

The old lady next door made a bet that Chen Li would not come again.

But the next day, Chen Li arrived as scheduled.

The old white man did not go to fetch water this time, but sat at the door, waiting for Chen Li.

When the old lady saw Chen Li coming over, her eyes widened, is this kid a stupid hat? He actually ran over to fetch water for the old white man? and he couldn't get the money, and the old white man wouldn't even give him a good face!

As the old lady wished, the old man Bai didn't smile, only pointed to the bucket in front of him, and then leaned against the wooden door behind him, sucking and drinking water.

Chen Li looked down at the leaves soaked in the water that Bai Qi was drinking, the light yellow red tendons, the embers of the fire grass, the favorite soaking water divine grass of the fire mage.

Just as Chen Li walked over and bent down to pick up the bucket, he suddenly felt a powerful pressure squeezing towards him, he raised his head suddenly, concentrated his mental power with all his heart, and tried hard to give feedback, but he felt that the spiritual power that was exerted was as powerful as a giant's heavy fist, and he was just a fragile ant.

Feeling that he was hitting the stone with an egg, Chen Li still tried to resist, and a layer of cold sweat broke out in an instant, and his hair and clothes were soaked in an instant.

After more than ten seconds, the pressure disappeared as suddenly as it came.

Chen Li was already panting like a cow. He pretended not to know the source of this spiritual power, and looked at the old man and the old lady Bai, his eyes full of doubts.

The old man Bai drank the embers and grass water leisurely, and his expression was at ease, and there was nothing unusual.

When she turned her head to look at the old lady in the neighborhood, she saw that the old lady was fanning her while looking around, and found that Chen Li was looking at her, and when she looked over, she saw that Chen Li's face was pale, so she immediately frowned, "Huh, boy, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Chen Li stood up, feeling weak in his heart, he turned his head and looked around again, and then said in a weak voice: "No...... I'm fine. ”

Old man Bai didn't speak, his shrewd eyes stared at Chen Li, as if he had seen through something.

Chen Li smiled weakly again, still picked up the barrel, turned around and left, and looked around pretending to be looking around as he walked, as if he was looking for something.

"Silly boy. The old lady sighed a few times, and began to fan again, occasionally turning back and complaining to the old man Bai.

Bai Qi occasionally replied with a cold snort or two, or glared angrily, but it was difficult for him to have any powerful counterattack against the old lady.

On this day, Chen Li fetched water twice as slowly as the previous two days, always stop-and-go.

Bai Qi's spiritual power is too strong, fortunately, he is just testing himself, if ...... I'm afraid that I can kill Chen Li in minutes. Even if you don't die, you have to become a soulless corpse.

Chen Li felt that his heart was empty, in the end, he was too rash to contact, the emotions of the strong are always difficult to deduce, and he didn't really understand Bai Qi, just hearsay.

He was slightly afraid in his heart, and after filling a jar of water, he said goodbye to Bai Qi indifferently, and his heart was still a little empty.

On the way home, Chen Li kept recalling the uncomfortable feeling of being pressured by mental power, but seeing the environment in which he lived, seeing the Chen family's hard-working brothers who had struggled but had difficulty making much progress, and thinking of his mother who lived in a thatched hut.

He gritted his teeth and decided that he would still go tomorrow.

You can't live a mediocre life, start over again, it's not for him to be a coward.
