Volume 1 Citygate Chapter 10 Secret Conversations in the Middle of the Night

In Qingcun, there was a loud snoring sound from the wooden barrel in the outer courtyard, undulating...

Hu Jian and Chen Jun had been soaking in the wooden barrel for half an hour, the tiredness on his body was gone, he felt like a dream in the morning, and the burning sensation all over his body was gone, and he didn't know whether it was the effect of the liquid medicine or the reason for the "spiritual power", now he felt refreshed, and the strength of his body was faintly enhanced.

"Phew, bah, bah. Because Chen Jun fell asleep, his body slipped and sank into the water, and he tasted the bath water of the two.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Hu Jian. Chen Jun saw that Hu Jian's face was full of his own saliva, and he was so happy that his eyes appeared again, and his words were full of schadenfreude, how could he be half apologetic.

Hu Jian glanced at Chen Jun, wiped the saliva from his face, and stood up.

"How do you feel about your body?" asked Hu Jian, who wanted to know how Chen Jun was feeling to judge his physical abnormality.

"Alas..."Chen Jun waved his arm, his face was full of surprise, "It's not hot, and my hands and feet are not weak, but I'm still a little tired, I guess it's good to rest for a while." ”

"Come and eat. Zhang Guang didn't know when he appeared next to the barrel, looked at Chen Jun's surprised appearance, and smiled.

"Master, I'll go back and have lunch and come back. Chen Jun smelled the aroma in the room, and his stomach gurgled out, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Let's eat together, it's okay. Hu Jian looked at Chen Jun's embarrassment, patted Chen Jun's shoulder and said.

"Let's eat here today and later, your father told me, and the food expenses have been paid. Zhang Guang looked at Chen Jun, spit out a puff of smoke rings and said.

In fact, Chen Jun's parents have a market every three days, and they have to fish in the lake for two days in the middle, and it is difficult to take care of Chen Jun.

However, Zhang Guang only received a symbolic amount of food expenses at the insistence of Chen Jun and his father.

"Wow, that's great" Chen Jun shouted, and ran into the house, this appearance made Zhang Guang can't help but scold in his heart, the embarrassment in front of him should not be pretended.

"You did a great job in the morning. Zhang Guang withdrew his gaze from Chen Jun and turned to look at Hu Jian.

"I think I'm too weak," Hu Jian was silent for a moment before speaking again.

"The foundation is not in a hurry. Zhang Guang was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Hu Jian to say this.

"Wait for the young master, Grandpa Zhang together. Xiao Cui's voice came from inside the house.

"Oops..... Hu Jian, come on, this pheasant is too fragrant, this thing is not easy to catch, my stomach is growling, hurry up. Chen Jun's voice came from inside the room, looking impatient.

When Zhang Guang heard this, he stopped what was about to come to his lips and said, "Don't worry, leave these to me, let's go eat first." ”

When Hu Jian heard this, his heart was full of depression and couldn't help but warm, since he was sensible, every time he wanted something, Grandpa Zhang would always say this.

I still remember that when I was 6 years old, I wanted to raise a monkey, but Hu Zhong and Zhang Ling did not agree, saying that it was not safe. He went to grind Zhang Guang, Zhang Guang said something similar to himself, and the next day there was a little monkey in the yard, but it was Xiaobai, this Xiaobai didn't know where Grandpa Zhang caught it from, and it was actually the size of a palm, just for pets.

Thinking of this, Hu Jian smiled slightly, nodded slightly, took Zhang Guang's hand and walked towards the house.

Zhang Guang was slightly stunned for a moment, feeling the warmth coming from Hu Jian's hand, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and followed Hu Jian to the house.

Half an hour later, the men finished eating. It's also strange to say, Hu Jian usually eats a small amount of food, but today at noon, he ate three bowls of rice and most of the chicken, which made Chen Jun, who ate one and a half bowls and felt that he was a rice bucket, his jaw was about to fall, and fortunately, Xiaocui cooked it with the evening meal every time, otherwise it would not be enough.

In the room, Chen Jun and Hu Jian were lying on a bed covered with a blue and yellow straw mat, and a blue quilt was also padded on the mat, which was extremely soft and comfortable.

The two of them were lying on it, slightly crowded, while Xiaobai was lying on the wooden cabinet on the other side, rubbing his stomach, looking satisfied.

After eating, Zhang Guang asked the two of them to take a rest, take a nap, and gather in the courtyard after half an hour.

"Hu Jian, what do you want to do in the future?" Chen Jun, who had just been talking a lot, came to his senses when he got to bed.

"I don't know. Hu Jian pondered for a while and replied.

"I want to be a chivalrous warrior, to be admired everywhere. Jun's voice revealed excitement.

"But where do you say the money of those knights comes from?

Hu Jian was directly stunned for a moment in the face of such a strange question, how could he answer.

"You read a lot, you should know, right?" asked Chen Jun.

"Then do you want silver or do you want to be a knight?" Hu Jian said.

"Uh..." Chen Jun was a little hesitant, looking a little hesitant, as if he was thinking about weighing it

"Whew..."After two breaths, Chen Jun's snoring sounded...

Hu Jian, who was still waiting for Chen Jun's answer, had three black lines on his forehead again...

Half an hour later, in the outer courtyard...

"Master, what are we going to do in the afternoon?" Chen Jun's face was excited, and his face was full of anticipation.

Zhang Guang sat on the stone bench, did not reply, and lightly pointed to the barrel with the big pipe in his hand.

"Still carrying water, master, you can teach us something else, old water, it's boring. Right, Hu Jian?" Chen Jun looked frustrated, trying to seek Hu Jian's support.

When Hu Jian saw this scene, he didn't answer, and shook his head helplessly.

"Hmm..." Zhang Guang's face was straight, his eyes looked at Chen Jun, and the word "um" had a long tail note.

"It's good to pick, pick, pick, and carry water. Seeing that Zhang Guang was about to raise the big pipe, Chen Jun hurriedly changed his words.

In the outer courtyard, Hu Jian and Chen Jun carried buckets in and out of the courtyard...

And Hu Jian's eyes faintly flashed with a hint of excitement, he clearly felt that the bucket in his hand was a little lighter, and even the water in the bucket was much more stable, not as heavy as in the morning.

At night, Hu Jian sat cross-legged on the bed, looked up at the sky through the window, the moon was very round, the starry sky was bright, and Qingcun was not dark under the moonlight.

Hu Jian had finished his cultivation for the afternoon, and as in the morning, he repeated the process of carrying water, and after it was over, the muscles of his whole body were sore, the "spiritual power" in the wooden barrel reappeared, the muscles recovered quickly, and the strength of his body was a little stronger after devouring this hair-like trace amount of "spiritual energy".

However, the difference is that Hu Jian's bucket has changed from the original depth of 0.3 meters to 0.4 meters, although it has only increased by 0.1 meters, Hu Jian has indeed completed 12 more round-trips and poured 24 more buckets of water.

Two hours ago, he tried to sit cross-legged again, trying to introduce the "aura" into his body, but the spiritual power still ignored his love, allowing him to close his breath repeatedly, and even his chest was a little dull and painful, and he still couldn't introduce a trace of "aura" into his body.

"Dad, mother, are you okay now?"

Hu Jian's mind is very complicated, he doesn't know what the condition of his parents is, how much time he has, how long it will take him to become stronger, and whether he can help his parents in time.

"Daddy, the child is really useless. Hu Jian's mind conjured up the figure of Hu Zhong and Zhao Ling, his teeth and lips were clenched, and his fist was hammered heavily.

"Xiaobai, you say I'm useless. ”

Xiao Bai, who was playing on the beam, glanced at Hu Jian suspiciously, and continued to walk on the beam, with a cyan gecko running in front of him, and a broken tail was holding in Xiao Bai's hand.

After a while, Hu Jian frowned, turned over and got out of bed, walked to the outer courtyard, picked up the bucket on the ground and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Hu Jian, who walked to the well, threw the bucket into the well and skillfully lifted the water, he tried his best to light his movements, cautiously, for fear of arguing with Xiaocui and Zhang Guang.

After the bucket was lifted, Hu Jian untied the rope on the bucket, Hu Jian grabbed the handle with both hands, and lifted the two buckets of water with a slight force.

"Young master, you are..." I don't know when, Grandpa Zhang was standing at the door of the inner courtyard, his voice with a strong sense of concern.

"Grandpa Zhang, I want to get stronger soon...."

Hu Jian found that Grandpa Zhang was standing at the door of the room, the pressure in his heart seemed to have found an outlet, the tense nerves were directly broken, and his voice trembled a little, he knew that the warrior-level body refiners had a thousand catties of great power, although the "spiritual power" could help him improve, but it would inevitably take a short time, and the maximum strength in his hands now was only forty or fifty catties, and he was still 108,000 miles away from the lowest thousand catties.

"Why are you?" said Grandpa Zhang softly with a hint of distress on his face.

"I heard it all that night, Grandpa Zhang, where are they now? Are they okay?" When Hu Jian saw that he was discovered, he had no scruples in his heart, so he said it directly.

"You child, alas..... Don't worry, they'll be fine in a short time, you come with me. Zhang Guang sighed, he had faintly doubted in his heart recently, and when he heard Hu Jian say this, he immediately understood.

"Daddy, mother, they?" asked Hu Jian.

"Don't you want to get stronger quickly, come with me first. Zhang Guangtou avoided answering and continued to walk towards the outer courtyard.
