Here, it is the northeast of Donghe County.

One of the main places of residence of the civilians in the city,

The courtyard is the most common style of housing in the county, which is very land-saving, and the key is that there are only one or two entrances and exits in each courtyard, which is convenient to resist the attack of monsters at critical moments, and it is also convenient for the county government to count the number of households.

"Xiao Hong is back. ”

A stout man greeted Yun Hong with a smile, and this man carried four large bundles of firewood, and walked towards the alley from the side with considerable effort.

Yun Hong smiled: "Brother Liu is back, come, I'll help you." ”

As he spoke, Yun Hong stretched out his hand and grabbed two bundles of firewood from Brother Liu's shoulder, one bundle in each hand, this bundle was a hundred catties, but for Yun Hong, whose physical fitness was no less than that of a condensing vein martial artist, it was very easy.

Brother Liu didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "Xiao Hong, your strength is really great." ”

"Xiao Hong's strength is naturally much greater than ours, there are dozens of compounds in our area, Xiao Hong can be admitted to the martial arts academy, and he will definitely be more powerful than his brother in the future. Another big man came up from behind.

"Brother Yang. Yun Hong said with a smile.

Brother Yang smiled and nodded in response, shouting, "Lao Liu, hurry up, you have to pass over." ”

"Okay. "Although Brother Liu is far less powerful than Yunhong, he actually has the strength of quenching the body, and it is very easy to carry two or three hundred catties, and he strides forward.

Brother Liu's physical strength is in the upper middle class among ordinary adults.

The young man is frail, and all of them can step into the quenching quadruple at the age of twelve or thirteen, so it is extremely difficult to enter the martial arts academy, in fact, half of the disciples will still stay in the quenching quadruple when they graduate, and only a handful can reach the quenching sixfold.

At this age, they are all still in the growth stage.

In the years after the age of sixteen, the physical fitness will improve rapidly, and many disciples who were relatively mediocre in the martial arts academy will eventually be able to achieve the fifth or even sixth level of quenching their bodies after leaving the martial academy, as their bodies grow naturally, and there is even a glimmer of hope to become martial artists.

And ordinary people like Brother Liu, when they were young, they were not talented enough to quench their bodies for one or two times, but as long as they work hard and grow up slowly, they can naturally achieve three or four levels of quenching.

Quenching the body triple and quadruple is the universal strength of adults.

This is the reason why Yun Hong has never doubted that he can become a martial artist, he has reached the peak of Yi Jin before he is sixteen, and it is not difficult to reach the eighth level of quenching body when he becomes an adult.

As for the higher quenching body nine and ten layers, it is no longer difficult to describe it.

.....

Along the way, someone occasionally greeted Yunhong.

It is said to be a courtyard house, but in fact, the entire compound is full of more than ten families, with nearly 100 people.

Yun Hong followed Brother Liu to the canopy of the compound.

"Brother Liu. Yun Hong put down the firewood and asked, "Hasn't my eldest brother come back yet?"

"Your brother met a restaurant steward at the dock today, and he couldn't make a big deal, so he talked to the steward and came back later. Brother Liu smiled: "He asked me to tell you and your sister-in-law, eat first, don't wait for him." ”

"Good. Yun Hong listened.

"Oh, by the way, remember to come out at night, today is the end of the month and the thirtieth day, to worship the immortals. Brother Liu shouted as he walked.

Yun Hong smiled and replied, "Okay." ”

Subsequently.

Yun Hong walked to his home.

"Bang Chang~" The door is not locked, push it open.

"Uncle is back. ”

"Mother, it's uncle. ”

Two small heads peeked out from the door frame of the stove house, and when they saw that it was Yun Hong, they immediately cheered, one shouted into the stove house, and the other crossed the threshold of the stove house and ran towards Yun Hong.

"Uncle. ”

Seeing this, Yun Hong couldn't help but open his hands and hugged the little meat ball that ran in front of him, and said with a smile: "Ha, Xiaohao, Uncle Gao is not happy to be back." ”

"Hee-hee, happy. The little one smiled.

At this time, another little guy also ran out and shouted, "Uncle, I want to hug me too." ”

"Alright, all set, Fly. ”

Yun Hong held his nephew Yun Hao in one hand and his niece Yun Meng in the other, strode towards the stove house, and shouted at the same time: "Sister-in-law, I'm back." ”

The house is divided into an outhouse, an inner house and a stove house, and the outhouse is stacked with some sundries, daily necessities, etc., as well as Yunhong's bed and books, etc.

The inner room is where my brother and sister-in-law live, and the stove house is a place where the fire is used to cook.

It's complicated to say.

But in fact, the entire area of the house added up was not as large as Yun Hong's cultivation room in the Martial Academy, and it was actually very crowded for a family of five to live here.

In the stove house, three large pots were placed on the earthen kang, and the air was suspended with the smell of steamed rice, and the young woman who was cooking soup looked up when she heard the sound, saw that it was Yunhong, and said with a smile: "Ah Hong, the rice is almost ready, wait a while." ”

The young woman is Yunhong's sister-in-law Duan Qing.

"There's no hurry. Yun Hong smiled, his eyes fell on his sister-in-law's dirty hair, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour.... He remembered that when his sister-in-law first got married, there were many ornaments inserted in her hair, which was also extremely beautiful.

At that time, Sanqiu Town was famous, and the threshold of the family was broken by the matchmaker.

It's just that in the past few years of marrying the eldest brother, the sister-in-law has not had a good life, she is busy all day long, and she has to take care of two young children, so she can't take care of her personal dress at all.

Suddenly, Yun Hong said something, put down his nephew and niece, took out a bag from his pocket and put it on the stove: "Sister-in-law, this is this month's martial arts subsidy." ”

"Hmm. Duan Qingxian only responded, and when he picked up the bag, he felt that something was wrong, opened it, and said in astonishment: "So much? I can buy you more spiritual rice now." ”

"Well, I've done some training in the martial arts academy this month, and I'll be rewarded. Yun Hong explained.

Duan Qing's smile stopped, he looked up at Yun Hong, and said with a hint of anger: "Ah Hong, didn't I tell you? With me and your eldest brother at home, you can hold on, the most important thing for you now is martial arts cultivation, and you will soon have a big competition in six counties." ”

The six-county competition is the key to deciding whether or not you can be admitted to the county court.

In Duan Qing's eyes, this is the most important thing for Yunhong at the moment.

"Sister-in-law, I know. Yun Hong saw that his sister-in-law was a little angry, and hurriedly said: "This training task was arranged for me by Master Yang. ”

Since arriving in Donghe County, the eldest brother has been busy making money at the wharf, and most of them are sisters-in-law educating and taking care of Yunhong.

So.

Yun Hong has great respect for his sister-in-law.

"Instructor Yang?" Duan Qing was stunned, she believed in Instructor Yang very much.

"Okay, Ah Hong, go read the book first, I remember that the day after tomorrow is the literary exam, although it is not important, but you must also be able to pass. Duan Qingdao said: "The steaming time of the spiritual rice is longer than that of ordinary rice, and I will call you again when it is ready." ”

"I'll go fetch water first. Yun Hong said, as if he was afraid that his sister-in-law would be angry, and added: "Soon." ”

With that, Yun Hong picked up the bucket and walked outside the house.

Duan Qing seemed to want to say something, but he didn't speak again after all.

"Brother, let's go, watch my uncle fetch water. ”

"Hee-hee, okay. ”

The two little meat balls ran out with Yun Hong.

The water has to be pumped out of the well far away, and then poured into the water tank outside the door, the water tank is very large, and it can be used for a few days at a time if it is full, and it used to be the eldest brother Yunyuan.

Now it's all Yunhong who is fighting.

"The eldest brother has the five-fold strength of quenching the body, and is willing to endure hardships, he is a small boss on the dock, and he is in charge of hundreds of people under his hands, in fact, he makes a lot of money, it stands to reason that over the years, it is not difficult for the family to change to a more spacious single courtyard to live, but now the family lives in it is not as good as the average dock worker. Yun Hong lifted two buckets of water.

"Why?"

"Because of me. ”

"My martial arts talent is extremely high, just in terms of talent, looking at the entire martial arts academy, I'm afraid no disciple can catch up with me, and I cultivate very hard. ”

"However, martial arts cultivation, talent and hard work alone are not enough, there must be silver. ”

"A lot of silver. ”

Yunhong poured water into the tank.

"Quenching the body, the essence is to temper the body, if the nutrition is not enough, the more ruthless the exercise, the greater the loss of the body, this is why the civilians who obviously occupy the majority of the population, but there are very few warriors who come out. ”

"If you don't have any money, what kind of cultivation will you take?"

After Yunhong finished fetching water, he led two small meat balls into the house, and suddenly saw clothes piled up next to him that had not yet had time to be washed.

The clothes are very old.

"My eldest brother often stays at the dock for the New Year to start construction, a coat is worn for three or four years and is reluctant to change, my sister-in-law can't buy new clothes all year round, let alone add decorations or something, Xiaohao's clothes, many of them are changed from the clothes I wore when I was eleven or twelve. ”

"In order to save money, I buy pork, chickens and ducks to supplement my body's nutrition every day. ”

"I eat meat, let me eat, and now I can eat ten catties for a meal. ”

"Eating meat is just the easiest way to supplement nutrition. ”

"Some dignitaries and wealthy people not only let go of the spiritual rice to eat, but also go to buy the flesh and blood and elixir of powerful demon beasts. ”

"Since I entered the Flame Palace, my sister-in-law began to buy spiritual rice often, and the price of one catty of spiritual rice is equivalent to a hundred catties of ordinary rice, just to make me progress faster and temper my body faster. ”

Yun Hong was far away and saw his sister-in-law who was cooking.

"Father and mother are long dead. ”

"My relatives, only my brother and sister-in-law are left, and...."Yun Hong looked down at the two tiger-headed little guys: "Xiao Hao and Xiao Meng." ”

"Definitely. ”

"You must be admitted to the county court, become a powerful martial artist, and earn a lot of silver..."

"At that time, the eldest brother doesn't have to work so hard anymore, the sister-in-law can rest, and Xiaohao and Xiaomeng can receive the best education and get the best growth environment. ”

Since he was twelve years old at the dock in Donghe County, he saw with his own eyes how hard his eldest brother worked in a day, and understood the efforts of his brother and sister-in-law, Yunhong has really grown up

In order to cultivate, in addition to dealing with some necessary things, Yun Hong spends most of his time in the martial arts academy every day, unwilling to delay a little time, and cherishes every bit of food.

Eat rice, and there is not a grain left.

Eat meat, even the bones should be chewed as much as possible.

Because, these are all earned by the eldest brother's hard work.

Many martial arts academy disciples dislike the boring cultivation of cultivation, but Yun Hong has never complained of being tired or tired.

Bitter?

The sister-in-law is even more bitter.

Tired?

Big brother is more tired.

Fortunately, he had an extraordinary talent since he was a child, coupled with crazy penance, he entered the Martial Academy to cultivate for several years, and he successfully entered the Flame Palace, and even among the thirteen disciples of the Flame Palace, he was called the top.

Now.

He left the county court, and there was only one last step left.
