Chapter Seventy-Four: Ordinary Heart
The red sun erupted.
Cheng Hao next door has already finished breakfast, his family is still cleaning up in the kitchen, he has already gone to the yard to start sorting out his picks, ready to go out.
Every now and then, he would look up at the yard next door.
His eyes were full of worry.
Last night, Liu Heng was surrounded and beaten by Zheng Jiuye, who had a famous murderous name in Daye City, with people, he was both worried and helpless, and at the same time couldn't help but secretly hate his own nest and incompetence - Liu Heng was beaten, of course he didn't dare to help, and even after Liu Heng was beaten, he didn't dare to go over and help him up.
But at the same time, there is more worry about Liu Heng's current situation.
He knew what had just happened to him in the past month.
Even with his own personality, which has always been accustomed to compromises and being short, he feels that if he encounters something like Liu Heng, he is afraid that he will have a feeling that he will not be able to live anymore, not to mention that Liu Heng knows that he is a very temperamental young man when he looks at it?
was first abolished, beaten and even bedridden for a long time, and once looked like his heart was like ashes, which finally made him break free from the depression of the day, but who would have thought that it would be another blow!
On such a day, no one will feel that it is no longer interesting to live, right?
Although they haven't lived next to each other for a long time, and their friendship is not very good, Liu Heng is not even a person who will take the initiative to make friends with someone, but after all, everyone has a lot of mutual care, seeing that he is such a good young man, but he encounters these misfortunes back and forth, this time Cheng Hao is really afraid that he will not be willing to go on.
After all, it's much easier to give up than to hold on.
It's just that he knows that his ability is too small to help at all.
Just now when he saw him standing in the courtyard over there laughing for a while, he couldn't help but start worrying: Will this future life be stimulated by the recent series of bad luck?
He himself said that he was fine, and he was still smiling, but it made people more and more worried.
So today, the time for him to clean up his picks is extraordinarily long.
He looked next door from time to time, hoping that Liu Heng could come out of the room, at least tell him to see what state he was in now, so that he could go out with confidence.
And Liu Heng seemed to hear his thoughts, and after a while, he really came out of the house.
There are large bruises on his face, especially on the corners of his mouth and forehead, and there are a lot of footprints and sludge on his clothes.
Seeing him come out, Cheng Hao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He wanted to speak, but he was surprised to find that Liu Heng still had a smile on his face, and when he saw Cheng Hao looking at him blankly, he even smiled and said, "Brother Cheng is not going out yet, I can't help you with your work today, you go out quickly, my sister-in-law should urge you in a while!"
Cheng Hao was stunned for a few moments, and then agreed twice with "oh" and "oh", subconsciously picking up the burden, but he couldn't help but look over, hesitated, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Heng, ...... Are you alright?"
Liu Heng looked very sunny with a smile.
He said, "I'm fine, don't worry, Brother Cheng!"
After a pause, he said: "I was a little beggar when I was a child, and I begged for food for many years, and I don't know how many times others were beaten and chased and bitten by dogs, so I have long been used to it. I'm fine, okay!"
"Oh, that's good, that's good!"
Cheng Hao slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, Liu Heng himself said that it was okay, but he didn't dare to believe it all.
Carrying the burden and going out, he put down the burden again and turned his head back to the house, told his Hun family a few words, and came out of the house to say a few more words to Liu Heng, but saw that he was already busy cooking!
Seeing that he was scooping water, brushing pots, and lighting fires in his yard, he was busy, and after a while, smoke came out of the small chimney in the yard - Cheng Hao had an indescribable surprise in his heart.
Looking at him, it seems like he's really fine!
That's weird!
Who can do what with a smile on his face after being beaten up just now, and still be able to cook for himself by making a fire for himself?
Even if it's a temperamental, timid and cowardly person, I'm afraid I'll have to be depressed for a few days, right?
But Liu Heng, a young man who seems to have a temper, is so unreserved?
Bear it?
I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't figure it out. When he looked up, the sun was already a little high, and he didn't think about it anymore, so he hurriedly picked up his burden and went out.
And here, not long after he left, Liu Heng made breakfast by himself, ate it, and brushed all the pots and bowls. Afterwards, he checked the food stored in his house, and found that it was enough to eat for half a month, so he calmly relaxed and turned around and went back to the hall.
Starting today, he is going into retreat.
Of course, in the eyes of others, this should be regarded as a fear of being beaten again, so they can't go out.
Doesn't matter. Whatever it is.
He just wants to continue cultivating now.
Although in his opinion, the heaven and earth aura accumulated from a night of hard training was only enough to support a moment, which was really a little little, but it didn't matter, he had already adjusted his mentality.
Now he is very content.
If the income from one night's cultivation is not enough, then you can practice diligently!
Now that you have a way, are you afraid that you will be impatient to go on?
In the past many years, all he lacked was such a path!
He's not afraid of slowness!
Therefore, he repeatedly warned himself not to get carried away because he suddenly found the path of cultivation, and not to complain because the progress of cultivation was a little slow. He felt that he had to continue to maintain his normal heart.
Treat cultivation with a normal mind.
Of course, he didn't know that in fact, his cultivation progress last night was not only not slow, but it was already a little frighteningly fast!
And if his so-called "ordinary heart" was known by those sect disciples who had been practicing hard for months and finally being able to perceive the existence of wisps of heaven and earth aura in their bodies, I was afraid that they would not be dumbfounded.
Of course, at least as far as he is concerned, since he says ordinary mind, it is really ordinary mind.
So for several days, he lived no different from ordinary people every day, getting up early, noon and evening, honestly cooking three meals, and honestly closing the door and turning off the lights to sleep at night. When there was no water at home, he went out to draw and carry water bucket by bucket, and when he carried water, he did not use the heaven and earth aura in his body, so that when a tank of water was full, he was really tired and sweating profusely and panting.
As for his already slightly enlightened method of using Reiki, he is just a trial and practice behind closed doors every day.
Cultivation, there is aura in the body, use it, cultivate again, and use it again.
Cycle after cycle, day after day.
He didn't really feel how much progress he had made in his daily cultivation, he could just roughly judge based on the length of time he had used it, and the heaven and earth aura left in his body in his cultivation last time seemed to be a little more than the last time.
But he still enjoys it.
He always felt like he was improving.
And in fact, this is probably true. He's really been making rapid progress.
For example, that night, in the dead of night, he was cultivating to the fullest, but his ears suddenly caught a trace of movement, so he quickly stopped his cultivation and listened carefully.
When he was cultivating into his mind, he seemed to hear the subtle sound of a porcelain bottle hitting and the sound of extremely light footsteps, but after stopping his cultivation and listening carefully, he couldn't hear anything.
He hesitated for a moment, and was about to enter the state of cultivation again, when he suddenly heard the gentle sound of a person's feet in the courtyard—but in a moment, the person arrived at the door of the hall and knocked on his door.
It was the old bearded man who came.
Liu Heng got up and opened the door, and saw that he was carrying a food box in his left hand and two pots of wine in his right hand.
The flask is porcelain.
After letting him into the house, Liu Heng reached out to take the wine, and inadvertently touched the two pots of wine.
It was the same voice he had just heard.
And just now...... He didn't even know if the old man had already walked into this alley!
So he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart: could he actually hear such a small voice dozens of feet away?
