Chapter 26: Confinement
Just when many people in Yuquan were bothering to inquire about the alchemy master who provided the Pure Heart Pill for Wanbao Trading House, this "alchemy master" was on the way to be locked up by others, and this alchemy master was naturally our protagonist Tong Chen.
After Tong Ying left, Tong Jia took Tong Chen to find the quiet room according to the order given by Tong Ying when he left, and on the way, Tong Jia looked at Tong Chen with a look of admiration: "Third brother, you are simply amazing, since I was a child, I have never seen a person in my family dare to confront my father in person!"
Tong Jia is 14 years old this year, even if Tong Chen is counted, he is also the youngest son of Tong Ying, unlike Tong Yan and Tong Ji, Tong Jia was born with a good personality, cheerful and kind, usually always smiling and grinning, and has always been the most pleasing to the elders in the clan.
"Don't scream, who is your third brother?" Tong Chen said as he walked along the road.
"You!" Tong Jia smiled: "My mother told me, you are also our father's son, so why don't I call your third brother?"
In Tong Chen's memory, Tong Jia was very enthusiastic every time he saw the previous Tong Chen, but the previous Tong Chen had a strong sense of inferiority in his heart, except for Zhao Lan and Old Man Qian, he felt that all the people in this world looked down on him, and even if he took the initiative to contact him, it was ill-intentioned, so he did not appreciate Tong Jia's initiative in his heart, but felt very disgusted.
Now Tong Chen doesn't think so, there is no inferiority complex in his heart, he can look at any problem very calmly, he thinks this Tong Jia is not bad, at least much better than Tong Yan and Tong Ji, so he talked to Tong Jia more kindly: "That's what your mother told you?"
"Yes, my mother said we are all brothers, let me be okay and be nice to you. Tong Jia nodded.
Tong Jia is also telling the truth, her mother is from a mediocre background, not as good as Tong Ying's other two wives, and it may be for this reason that since she learned about Tong Ying and Zhao Lan, she has always been very sympathetic to Zhao Lan and Tong Chen's mother and son, and asked her son to treat the mother and son well.
Tong Chen was silent and did not speak.
Tong Jia said again: "Seriously, third brother, you were really handsome just now, I really admire you too much!"
Tong Chen looked at Tong Jia and said, "If you want to feel handsome, then you can also go and fight your father!"
"Me?" Tong Jia's head shook like a rattle: "I don't dare, let alone contradict my father, I'm so nervous to even talk to him." ”
Seeing Tong Jia's appearance, Tong Chen couldn't help but feel a little funny: "Is he so terrible?"
Tong Jia thought for a while: "It's not terrible, it's just that every time I face my father since I was a child, I feel that my father exudes a strong sense of coercion, which makes people not have the slightest idea of disobeying him or contradicting him." ”
Tong Chen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is that so?" ”
The two walked in front of a row of bamboo houses while talking, Tong Jia took Tong Chen straight to a bamboo house, pointed to the inside and said to Tong Chen: "Just this one, I have been in this room before." ”
After speaking, seeing Tong Chen looking at him, Tong Jia immediately said: "I'm also locked up, you don't know, right? My eldest brother and second brother have been locked up by my father, you are much luckier than us, we have to be locked up for at least a month every time, you are so confronted by your father and Aunt Wei today, but your father only ordered you to be locked up for a week, seriously, I can't figure out why!"
Regarding this matter, Tong Chen himself didn't know why, and he naturally couldn't give Tong Jia an answer, so he raised his feet and walked into the bamboo house, Tong Chen found that it was really clean and neat, there was nothing but a futon, and it was really a good place for confinement.
Tong Jia also followed Tong Chen into the room, he looked around the whole room, afraid that Tong Chen would find it difficult, and took the initiative to comfort him: "It's a bit monotonous here, but fortunately, you only need to be locked up for a week before you can be released, so you can bear with it!
Tong Chen nodded, walked directly to the futon on the ground and sat down.
Seeing this, Tong Jia said: "Then I'll go out first, don't worry, third brother, I will come over to bring you food regularly every day, you can stay here for a week with peace of mind!" The words fell, Tong Jia turned around and left the room.
Waiting for Tong Jia to leave, Tong Chen took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, thinking that when he came over with Tong Jia, Zhao Lan was relieved and afraid that he was worried about himself and endured not to show it, Tong Chen couldn't help but feel a little worried, he silently recited the word "mother" in his heart, and made up his mind to really regard Zhao Lan as a mother in his heart from now on, and to protect the mother-son relationship between him and Zhao Lan for the rest of his life.
In Tong Jia's opinion, being confined may be a very boring thing, but Tong Chen is not bored, he can do too many things to pass the time, not to mention a week, it is a year, he can also live a good and fulfilling life.
Originally, Tong Chen wanted to spend his time on cultivation, but considering that his state of mind was unstable at the moment, it was not a good time to cultivate, so he dispelled this thought, and then closed his eyes and began to continue to digest the huge inheritance he had obtained.
It is said that it is digestion, that is, he keeps browsing the various contents contained in the inheritance in his mind, because the content is too complex, and when he encounters some things that Tong Chen feels that he can't touch or are not interested in for the time being, he directly chooses to skip it, I don't know how long it has been, suddenly, Tong Chen's mind flashed the image of a thick booklet, and the cover of the thick booklet was written in black handwriting "Refining Knowledge Notes" A few big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing, looking very elegant.
Tong Chen became interested all of a sudden, he first focused his mind on the thick booklet, and then opened the thick booklet with his divine sense, and after turning a few pages, Tong Chen found that there was a lot of information about refining materials recorded in it, many of which were also accompanied by drawings next to the refining materials, in addition, there were also a lot of refining skills and refining formulas in the notes, judging from the handwriting, the person who recorded this note was the same person as the person who wrote the big characters on the cover of the note.
In fact, Tong Chenda has been very interested in these two words since he knew the word "refining", but because of the lack of information in this area, he didn't know where to start if he wanted to learn, and now he suddenly saw this notebook, he simply felt like a treasure, and he couldn't wait to digest all the knowledge in this notebook at once, and then immediately start to practice.
