Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Fortune in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 7 Treating the symptoms but not the root cause

The middle-aged man didn't know what Meng Li was thinking at this time, and if he knew, he didn't know how he would feel.

He looked at Meng Li and shook his head, "It's hard!"

The decay of the bloodline is like a giant wheel rolling forward, almost irreversible.

"How difficult is it?" Meng Li's silver teeth clenched, if there was the slightest hope, he should not give up.

However, the next four words that the middle-aged man spat out made him feel hopeless.

"It's hard to climb!"

In this world, there are legends of breaking through the gate of heaven with martial arts, but that is just a legend after all.

How difficult is it to achieve the legend? Meng Li didn't think that he could achieve the probability of one in a billion. Touching his legs, he said dejectedly: "Can I only nest here and wait for death in the future?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "That's not true." ”

Meng Li couldn't help but laugh and said, "Senior, am I still saved?"

There is no hope for a radical cure, and it is not right to wait for death, and I really responded to the sentence "I can't survive, I can't die".

The middle-aged man stretched and stood up from where he was sitting. His figure is not very tall, half a head shorter than the old Uncle Meng, who is the best at fishing in Mengjia Village, but for some reason, in Meng Li's eyes, he looks extraordinarily tall.

"Former ...... Senior, you ...... What are you doing?

The middle-aged man glanced at him again, and said with a smile: "What are you panicking about, I won't eat you again, wait for me here honestly." ”

After saying that, he walked out of the cave.

There were fireworks in the cave, and Meng Li looked at the fire shadow on the cliff, and couldn't help but worry about his future.

The middle-aged man's movements were fast, and he returned in less than a moment, and when he returned to the cave, he already had a full cloth bag in his hand.

"What smell?" Meng Li sucked twice at the middle-aged man, smelling the sudden smell of blood in the air, and frowned.

The middle-aged man poured the cloth bag and poured the contents on the ground, which turned out to be a pile of mud stained with blood!

"Put your hands in the dirt. The middle-aged man's tone was tough, as if he were an order.

Although Meng Li didn't know what he wanted to do, he also knew that now was the critical moment to save his life, so he endured his nausea and plunged his hands into the bloody mud.

An incredible scene happened, the blood in the soil turned from thick to light, and it was gradually absorbed by his hands!

Seeing Meng Li's puzzled face, the middle-aged man explained: "The blood and water in this soil comes from the black tiger you killed, that beast is about to transform, and there is a lot of energy hidden in the blood, although it can't cure your septicemia, but it can make up for the consumption and keep you safe for the time being." ”

With the absorption of blood and water, a force gradually emerged from Meng Li's body, making his legs recover proudly.

The middle-aged man's preparation was obviously very sufficient, a bag of blood mud was sucked up, and another bag was carried in a blink of an eye, and before the energy in the two bags of blood mud was sucked out, Meng Li had recovered as before, and the four dragon blood patterns used to lock veins on his right arm finally stopped attacking and gradually disappeared.

The middle-aged man tore off a tiger leg with burnt skin and handed it to Meng Li.

"Hungry! This black tiger is a great tonic, and after eating it, it will make you recover faster. After saying that, he tore another leg and devoured it.

Meng Li took the tiger leg handed over by the other party and looked at the middle-aged man who was gobbling it up, with a heavy expression.

But then again, the aroma of the barbecue was so enticing that it made his appetite work.

I took a bite lightly, and it was indeed fragrant. But the next moment, Meng Li was stunned.

"What's the matter? this thing doesn't suit your appetite?" the middle-aged man who noticed Meng Li's abnormality looked puzzled and asked curiously while nibbling on food.

Of course, Meng Li's abnormality is not because of the food, although he likes to eat lightly, he is a little difficult to accept tiger meat, but the middle-aged man's treatment of food is nothing to say, the food in his mouth is almost the most delicious he has ever eaten in his life, only the noodle soup under his mother's own hands can be compared.

The reason why Meng Li was stunned was because he suddenly remembered something, which was much more important than tasting food.

"What time is it?"

The middle-aged man pointed to the blue sky outside the cave and said, "The sun is on the three poles, when do you say it is?"

seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Meng Li's performance, the middle-aged man touched his mouth and muttered, "Why are you stupid after being in a coma for a day and a night?"

"What, I slept for a day and a night?" Meng Li, who learned the truth, screamed loudly.

After taunting Meng Li, the middle-aged man who continued to gobble up almost choked on the food in his mouth.

glared at him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Shouting, there are no rules!"

Meng Li cried and said, "It's over, it's over, it's really over this time?"

Seeing him like this, the middle-aged man laughed and said, "That's right, the child who can cry his nose is cute, come and tell me, what is it that makes you panic so much?"

At that moment, Meng Li told the matter of Chuanwu Day.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man said disdainfully: "The martial arts halls in remote villages and towns, what amazing martial artists can come out, if you want me to see it, don't learn this martial arts!"

Meng Li said: "What do you know, it's because we are in a remote area, it is more difficult to learn martial arts, and the day of passing on martial arts is almost our only hope, if we miss this opportunity, I will never want to learn martial arts in my life." Speaking of this, his expression changed, and he said resolutely: "No, I want to rush back as soon as possible, maybe there is still a chance to go back now." ”

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "As for me, you still don't want to go back, just stay here with me." As for me, I will teach you both hands to ensure that you are of infinite use. ”

Meng Li turned a deaf ear to the middle-aged man's "jokes".

Just you? Still teach me two hands? Really when I'm young, I don't understand anything? Martial arts are not passed lightly, and the down-and-out are like a beggar, so it's strange that you can have the qualifications to pass on martial arts!

After biting two tiger legs in a hurry, not caring about eating the rest of the food, Meng Li hurriedly walked out of the cave and ran down the mountain.

Looking at Meng Li's distant back, the middle-aged man who was extremely ugly finally stopped, and the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, revealing a knowing smile.

"Good boy, dare to look down on me, let's see!"

It's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, the way down the mountain is always more dangerous than going up the mountain, accidentally slipping and falling to the ground, rolling down the mountain, even if you can't be disabled, you have to fall and be injured, his current situation is already miserable enough, ragged, covered with mud, don't look at him just now is still despising middle-aged people, his image at this time is worse than the other party.

Be careful all the way, half run and half walk, and soon return to Mengjia Village.

As soon as he entered the village, Meng Li, who had lived in the village for 12 years, found a subtle atmosphere that was slightly different from the past. The village, which was already very deserted on weekdays, is even more deserted today, and there is no one on the path leading to the center of the village.

"Is everyone going to join in the fun?"

Meng Li couldn't go home to tidy up, and hurriedly ran to the center of the village.

The center of the village is the ancestral shrine of Mengjia Village, and there is an open space next to it, which is a place for martial arts training that has been prepared for the transmission of martial arts several years ago.

On the way to the martial arts, Meng Li met the old Uncle Meng who lived near his home.

Old Uncle Meng is not old, he is only thirty-five this year, he lives next door to Meng Li, when Meng Li's parents are alive, the two families are very good neighbors, and after living alone, they are not less taken care of by each other.

Because there are many fish in the west of the river, the old Uncle Meng, who was named Meng Jiangxi by his father, saw Meng Li who came all the way, and laughed: "Why is the calm little Meng Li so flustered in the past, could it be that he is in bed today?"

Seeing the old Uncle Meng, who was comparable to his relatives, Meng Li hurriedly stopped, and complained respectfully in a joke: "Oh, my old Uncle Meng, today's martial arts day is a big day, why are you gloating when I'm late?"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Meng Jiangxi waved his hand and said with a smile: "I just heard what our family Nan'er said, this martial artist who came today is very approachable, and it will not be in the way if you go later." ”

"That's good!" Hearing that it was out of the way, Meng Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. Nan'er in Meng Jiangxi's mouth is his youngest son, only four years old this year, but he is very smart, and his favorite thing to do is to be naughty and mischievous, which did not bother Meng Jiangxi.

Meng Jiangxi has a daughter and a son under his knees, in addition to Meng Nan, there is also an eldest daughter named Meng Rou, Meng Rou is as his name, not only grow beautifully, but also gentle and virtuous, at a young age, he has shown his beauty, although he is the same age as Meng Li and others, but has long been rumored to be a delicate flower in Mengjia Village, so that Meng Jiangxi is very proud.

Thinking of his eldest daughter, who was already slim, Meng Jiangxi looked at Meng Li with more resentment in his eyes.

"I really don't know where you are good, Xiaorou is always thinking about you, today your Aunt Liu is going to cook for you personally, don't forget to come over at night." ”

As soon as he heard that there was something to eat, Meng Li's eyes suddenly lit up, the two mouthfuls of oil and water that he had rushed to and fro had long been exhausted, and his chest was already close to his back, not to mention how hungry he was.

Meng Li said with a hippie smile: "Old Uncle Meng, you help me tell Aunt Liu, just say that I will definitely go." ”

Meng Jiangxi, who likes Meng Li's appearance, laughed heartily: "That's good, that's good, since that's the case, I won't delay your time." ”

"Old Uncle Meng, goodbye. Meng Li waved his hand, said goodbye to Meng Jiangxi, and continued to walk towards the martial arts.

The village is not big, it doesn't take long to walk, after a while, Meng Li came to the martial arts field, which was empty and is no longer empty, after Meng Li came, he could only see the crowds of people, the residents of the village gathered in a circle, and at a glance, he couldn't see the situation inside.
