Chapter 1: The Little Beggar
Chapter 1: The Little Beggar
In the evening of late autumn, in a ruined temple in Jiangcheng, a sloppy old beggar was leaning his toes and holding his head high to teach a swollen beggar. "Elder Tie! Is the meal coming! Xiao Linzi is coming! Why are you an old boy not as good as a little child!"
Tie Dan was angry when he saw the six-year-old kid next to the helper who was eating the rice in the broken bowl. Putting down the half bowl of porridge in his broken bowl, he cried: "Helper! My old iron has done his best! Now those people have no conscience than the other! I hesitated for a long time to give some porridge. ”
"Alright, okay, stop fucking nonsense, we'll have dinner when Elder Meat returns. Don't eat any more of you, you stinky boy!"
"Okay grandpa. Lin Qiu put down the broken bowl and said. Although Lin Qiu is a little beggar, he cleans himself up very neatly and decently, with a delicate face and a relatively healthy body raised by the old beggar, if it weren't for the torn clothes on his body, Lin Qiu wouldn't look like a little beggar at all.
"Don't call me grandpa! Call me helper! It's useless for you stinky boy to climb relatives, you can share as much as you want, not even a little more. The old beggar raised his toes and raised his head.
"Uh-huh, Grandpa, I know. Lin Qiu replied with a smile.
"Ouch! I'm actually disobedient! Elder Tie! Give me this kid's big white belly! I really don't take the majesty of my gang leader in my eyes, this stinky boy!" The old beggar was so angry that Xiao Lin Qiu blew his beard and glared.
Tie Dan turned around and whispered, "Hmph, he said that every time, and then he beat us every time to make him laugh." ”
"What did you say?" asked the old beggar, taking a puff of the finger that had just clasped his foot, glaring at the iron egg.
"Helper, I'm back with meat. At this moment, a frail middle-aged man dressed in clean clothes and with a delicate face walked in with a large lump of meat.
"Oh, Elder Nian Rou is back!" the old beggar saw the lump of meat, and his eyes lit up. Suddenly turned around and scolded Tie Dan: "Look at the old meat elders! If you go out to ask for a meal, you can get a lump of meat as big as you!"
Tie Dan didn't agree this time, just compare himself with Lin Qiu, a little kid, and even compare himself with this year's meat, others can be provoked, but Tie Dan can't be provoked. "Hmph, isn't this guy just taking this dress and being taken by the old widow of the Qian Mansion? ”
"Then you old boy will also hook up an old widow of a rich family!" cried the old beggar.
"I don't disdain!"
"It's incapable!"
"Damn, I'll die if I don't expose it!"
"How did you talk to the helper!"
The two of them quarreled very happily. Lin Qiu stood up and ran to Nian Rou and said, "Uncle Nian, give me the meat, I'll process it." ”
"Okay! Xiao Lin is so good!" Nian Rou smiled and rubbed Lin Qiu's little head, and handed the meat in his hand to Lin Qiu. And the old beggar next to him was still teaching Tie Dan a lesson, and Tie Dan was taught so much that he frequently threw a look of help at Nian Rou. Nian Rou smiled when he saw it and didn't lend a helping hand, which made Tie Dan cry out without righteousness.
Lin Qiu's barbecue skills really didn't have to be said, and after a while, the smell of meat wafting from the temple introduced the three beggars who were still pinching each other into the house.
"It's so fragrant! Xiao Lin's craftsmanship is good! Look at my old iron's saliva dripping out. Tie Dan wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes glowed.
"Get out of here!" the old beggar kicked the iron egg and said, "Look at your little bit of interest! punish you for giving Xiaolinzi a piece of your meat today!"
"Don't, help!" Iron Egg wailed as he hugged the old beggar's thigh.
"If you call again, you will continue to be punished!" said the old beggar, pumping his legs.
"Don't scream, don't scream!" Tie Dan turned over and jumped up, standing beside the old beggar in a proper manner, looking afraid of being punished by the old beggar again.
When the two were messing around, Lin Qiu had already divided the barbecue into twenty small pieces of meat of relatively uniform size with the help of Nian Meat, and then divided them evenly into four broken bowls.
"Grandpa, don't tease Uncle Tie anymore, it's time to eat. Lin Qiu taught the old beggar a lesson like a little adult.
The old beggar glared at Lin Qiu and took the broken bowl handed over by New Year's meat. There was some rice and five pieces of meat in the bowl, and it was dinner for the day.
"Wow! it's so fucking fragrant!" Tie Dan took his broken bowl and shouted excitedly as he looked at the four pieces of meat in the bowl.
"Hmph!" the old beggar snorted heavily, pointed at the iron egg with bamboo chopsticks, and said, "Shout and scream at meal time!"
"Woo~" Tie Dan cried and put two pieces of meat in Lin Qiu's bowl, and Lin Qiu already had seven pieces of barbecue meat in the bowl at this time.
Lin Qiu smiled, and his heart was full of joy, after all, there was meat to eat.
"Smack!" Suddenly, one of Nian Rou's bamboo chopsticks fell to the ground. The old beggar quickly turned his head to look at Nian Rou and said, "Punishment~" Nian Rou glanced at the old beggar, pointed at the old beggar, and then put a piece of meat from his bowl into Lin Qiu's bowl. The old beggar was stunned for a moment, "Damn!" Suddenly, Tie Dan and Nian Rou looked at the old beggar at the same time, and the old beggar quickly covered his mouth. Finally, tremblingly, he took out two pieces of meat from his bowl and put them into Lin Qiu's bowl.
At the end of the meal, the three of them ate so frightened that they were all in order, but Lin Qiu ate very casually and comfortably. When the three of them seemed to be relieved after dinner, Lin Xiao wiped the grease stains on the corner of his mouth, put away the bowl, and came to the well behind the temple alone. There was already a bucket of prepared water by the well, and Lin Qiu poured out the water little by little to wash the tattered dishes and chopsticks.
After Lin Qiu cleaned up, his hands were already red from the cold, Lin Qiu rubbed his hands and tried to warm them up as much as possible. When Lin Qiu walked to the front temple to roast the fire, he saw that the old beggar was bragging again.
"You don't know, the gods we talk about are all hierarchical! Let's start with the weakest. The weakest is the Qi refining period, this realm is nothing special, at most it is stronger than us ordinary people. It's just that a large group of ordinary people can be killed by punches, but we can't underestimate the Qi Refining Period, after all, the Qi Refining Period is the preparation of those immortals to become immortals. There are ten years of Qi training in the world, and it is not nonsense to build a foundation in one year. ”
"Cut~" Lin Qiu sat next to the old beggar and stretched out his hand to roast the fire, while not forgetting to shush the old beggar.
"Hahaha! The gang leader told you to brag! You were despised by Xiao Linzi! Hahaha!" Tie Dan and Nian Rou laughed back and forth.
"What do you know about you stinky boy!" the old beggar glared at Lin Qiu, his face full of anger.
"Wang Yue, the eldest lady of the Wang family, is only eight years old this year, and she is already in the early stage of foundation building. Lin Qiu said.
"Hmph! That little girl will be abolished sooner or later, and if she doesn't go through ten years of refining qi, she will encounter a lot of trouble in the future. The old beggar looked like a superior man, but his picking hands ruined the image.
"Just blow it. Lin Qiu still didn't believe it, and at the same time, Tie Dan and Nian Rou nodded approvingly.
Suddenly, the old beggar hugged Lin Qiu and asked with a wicked smile, "Did you kid fall in love with that eldest lady of the Wang family?" ”
Lin Qiu's face turned red and said, "You... Don't talk nonsense!"
"Hahaha! Bad boy grows up!" laughed the old beggar. Lin Qiu lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
"Hahaha! Xiao Linzi has grown up!" Tie Dan and Nian Rou looked at Lin Qiu and laughed evilly. Lin Qiu's head lowered even lower, and he didn't dare to raise his head.
"Okay, okay, don't tease Xiaolinzi, let's continue to talk about ours. The old beggar saw that Lin Qiu was so ashamed that he couldn't do it, so he quickly changed the topic. Iron Egg and Nian Rou also sat precariously, waiting for the old beggar to tell a story.
"When it comes to ten years of refining gas and building a foundation in one year, it means that we must calm down, use ten years to continuously consolidate the gas refining period, and use one year to quickly break through the foundation building period and enter the Jindan period. The old beggar shook his head and said, the iron egg and the Nian Rou listened attentively on the surface, and Lin Qiu still lowered his head to roast the fire.
"Why do you want to refine qi for ten years? Because na, refining qi is a preparation for immortals to become immortals! Just like building a house, if you don't prepare enough materials, you will have trouble in the future. Therefore, it takes ten years to refine qi, in order to be fully prepared to become an immortal. The foundation building period is like laying a foundation, if you don't lay the foundation quickly, it is easy to have all kinds of problems in the middle, so the foundation building should be a quick breakthrough within a year. This is ten years of refining gas and one year of building a foundation. After the old beggar finished speaking, he looked up with satisfaction, and found that the iron egg and the young meat were actually lying on the haystack and fell asleep, and the old beggar was so angry that his face was red.
"I'm afraid your theory is used to build a house. Lin Qiu added some firewood and said that he was doing the way.
"Isn't cultivation just about building a house?" said the old beggar
Lin Qiu paused for a moment, then picked up two rotten quilts and put them on Tie Dan and Nian Meat, and after putting them on, he also put on a small rotten quilt. "Sleep." Then he closed his eyes.
"Uh...... Damn!" The old beggar fell asleep depressed.
