Chapter 17: Chen San (Something at home, stop for a few days)
He Ding is very tired now and wants to sleep.
From birth to now, I have never been so tired.
After coming out of the cave, He Ding found that the cave was in the center of the Qianzhang Cliff. With the misty abyss under his feet and the endless cliff overhead, a very real question was in front of him, how to go down?
Fortunately, there were a lot of vines growing on the cliff, and He Ding chose the thicker one and carefully began to climb down.
He Ding didn't know how many times he had rested, the muscles in his arms were swollen to the extreme, and at the same time, a strong feeling of soreness and numbness stimulated his whole body. Although he has a strong body this year, such a high-intensity exercise is still a little unbearable for his current body.
When it got dark, He Ding's feet finally touched the ground. At this time, he was already exhausted, almost lost feeling in both arms, lost too much sweat and was in a state of dehydration. He Ding's head also began to dizzy at this moment, he just wanted to find a safe place to rest and rest.
He Ding was walking slowly through the woods, looking for a place for him to live. Suddenly, I heard a voice in the distance, "My mother", so I searched for the sound.
The sky gradually darkened, He Ding searched around for a while, with his fairly good eyesight, he finally found that there was a gray leopard in front of him who was lowering his body and preparing to attack, and the target of the attack was a frightened middle-aged man.
"Brute!"
He Ding let out a low snort, and his feet slammed into force, rushing out almost at the same time as the gray leopard. He frantically ran his True Qi, converging all his True Qi to his toes, and urging the Reckless Bull's Strength.
The third layer of reckless bull strength!
He Ding quickly rushed to the gray leopard's side and flew up with a kick, which contained all He Ding's true qi and kicked heavily on the gray leopard's neck, only to hear a click, and the gray leopard's spine was instantly shattered. The gray leopard wailed, spun twice in the air, fell to the ground, and swallowed after a few twitches of his legs.
"Whew...... Finally caught up. He Ding breathed a sigh of relief, and after confirming that the gray leopard was dead, he walked up to the middle-aged man and asked, "Uncle, are you okay?"
Before the words fell, He Ding only felt that the Venus in front of him was shining, the sky was spinning, and a sense of powerlessness surged into his brain.
"Oh no, have you reached the limit......" He Ding secretly screamed, but his body collapsed uncontrollably.
Chen San looked at He Ding who had fainted in front of him in shock, and he hadn't reacted to what had happened.
"Yes...... Did he save me?" After calming down, Chen San stood up tremblingly, looked at the dead gray leopard on the ground, and muttered to himself incredulously.
"Anyway, get out of this ghost place first!" Although he didn't know how this young man killed the gray leopard, Chen San didn't want to stay here for a moment, and some cool wind blew, which made him shiver. He struggled to pick up He Ding on the ground and left the forest in the night.
......
At the foot of Niuqi Mountain, Guangliang County.
Because of its close proximity to Niuqi Mountain, the local population of Guangliang County is not very large, and many people fled to neighboring counties with their families after Kui Niu established a sect here a long time ago. Fortunately, Niuqishan has been relatively low-key, and the well water has always been not the river water, so it has been relatively peaceful in the past few hundred years. During the day, people come and go on the street, so it is not lively, the pharmacy business here is quite prosperous, and there are often demon cultivators who go down the mountain to buy medicine, because Niuqishan has strict rules, it is okay to do business with mortals, but you are not allowed not to pay, once you violate, you will be thrown into the rat prison and locked up for a few days, so the merchants here are also quite happy to deal with demon cultivators.
Chen San pressed the medicine pocket on his waist, stood still in front of a pharmacy, subconsciously looked around, and then entered the store.
"Yo, isn't this Chen San? I haven't seen you for a few days, where have you gone?" the shopkeeper of the pharmacy saw that he was an acquaintance and joked to Chen San.
"How can I have that idle time? I haven't even been busy collecting medicine for the past few days. Chen San waved his hand.
"Oh, what are you busy with?" the shopkeeper raised his eyebrows......, propped his hand on the counter, and put his head over, with a wicked smile on his face.
"Go, go, I don't have time to joke with you, I came here today to do business!" Chen San looked serious.
"Business?"
"I dug up a good item the other day, you see. Chen San looked behind him, lowered his voice, took out the Blue Spirit Grass that almost killed him from his medicine pocket, and put it on the wooden cabinet.
"Oh, it's actually Blue Spirit Grass, where did you dig it?" the shopkeeper's eyes lit up.
"Hey, where else can I dig it, isn't it Niuqishan...... Don't talk about these useless things, you give the palm of your hand and see how much silver you can exchange. Chen San was a little anxious.
"I'll take a look...... shopkeeper carefully held the blue spirit grass in his hand, looked at it carefully for a while, sniffed the taste with his nose, rolled his eyes, and said, "You have been leaving this blue spirit grass for two days, right?"
"How do you know?" Chen San was taken aback.
"Smells it. The shopkeeper put the Blue Spirit Grass back in its place and said solemnly, "The price of the Blue Spirit Grass depends on the freshness, if you just dig it out and bring it to me, I will buy it at the market price immediately without saying a word." But you've been leaving it for two days, and half of the medicinal power of the Blue Spirit Grass has been lost, and the price is only half of it. ”
"Huh......? How much can it be exchanged for?" Chen San was dumbfounded.
"Half of the market price, twenty taels. ”
Chen San hesitated for a while, and said in his heart that this was dug up by himself, and it was worth it? But after thinking for a while, he was now short of money, only to see him grit his teeth and slap the table, "Okay, twenty taels is twenty taels!"
"Happy. The shopkeeper smiled, took out twenty taels of silver tickets from the drawer and put them on the counter, and said secretly in his heart, "This fool will believe it if he says a few words, hahahaha......"
"You can grab some more tonic for me. Chen San held the silver ticket in his hand and said.
"Who uses the tonic?" asked the shopkeeper curiously.
"Why do you care so much, and you don't eat. Chen San was a little annoyed.
"It's me who talks too much. The shopkeeper patted his mouth, turned around and grabbed a few herbs from the pharmacy, weighed them on the scale, wrapped them in a ball of paper, handed them to Chen San, and instructed, "Go back and boil them slowly over low heat, remember to eat them twice a day." ”
"Got it, how much is it?" Chen San took the medicine bag.
"Eighty wen. ”
"Here you go. Chen San took out the usual copper coins from his pocket, took a few and put them on the wooden cabinet. Without waiting for the shopkeeper to count the money, he turned around and walked out of the drugstore.
"Walk slowly. The shopkeeper shouted in the shop.
The sun is really scorching during the day, and many pedestrians on the road are wearing oil-paper umbrellas to shade the sun. Chen San breathed a sigh of relief, and the silver ticket of twenty taels in his pocket made him feel a lot more comfortable. He walked towards his house with half-squinted eyes and the scorching sun.
After walking briskly under the scorching sun for about a stick of incense, Chen San was sweating profusely and stopped in front of a dilapidated tiled house. It is said that it is a tiled house, and the tiles on the beams have been broken and broken, and there are few of them, and some of the places without tiles are covered with thatch. However, although the tiled house is broken, it is not small, with a few side houses and a small courtyard.
"Lady, I'm back!" Chen San shouted into the house, pushed open the wooden door, walked quickly past a few hens pecking rice in the yard, came to the door, and pushed the door in.
A woman in the room was scrubbing the body of the young man on the bed, dressed simply, but could not hide his beautiful appearance. When the woman saw that it was Chen San, she wiped her hand on her clothes, stood up, and greeted her.
"Didn't you say buy medicine, why did you go for so long?" asked the woman.
"It's hot, so I'm going slower. Chen San prevaricated.
"Where's the medicine?"
"Here's it. Chen San took out the herbs in his medicine pocket, glanced at the young man who was still unconscious, walked to the medicine jar in the corner, and began to light a fire, "You go ahead and wipe the benefactor's body, I'll boil the medicine." ”
"Knock knock!"
At this time, there was a sharp knock on the door, Chen San raised his head, and the woman threw the towel back into the basin and said, "I'll go open the door." ”
Chen San nodded, saying in his heart who would come to the door at this time, and then buried his head in the fire. He took out the fire fold, pinched a handful of hay and threw it into the stove, and blew it vigorously on the fire fold a few times, and bursts of white smoke came out of the haystack, Chen San hurriedly added a few dry firewood, and placed them on the grass pile in a staggered manner.
The fire gradually ignited, and Chen San took a fan and fanned it gently. He glanced back at the unconscious young man on the bed, who had slept for more than a day since carrying him back that day. Chen San saw that there were no wounds on the young man's body, and it was estimated that his body was too weak to faint, so he went to the pharmacy to grab a few tonics.
"Xianggong!
There was a shout of Chen Sanniang in the courtyard, Chen San's expression changed greatly, and he shouted Niangzi in his mouth, and immediately threw down the fan in his hand and rushed to the courtyard.
Chen San was stunned, he saw a fat and strong man holding his mother's hand, followed by two tall and sturdy fierce men. The fat man's hand was so strong that the woman could not break free, so she could only hit the man in the chest with her other hand, but in vain.
"Ah Feng!" Chen San called the woman's name, "Jin Wei, you, what do you want to do to my lady!"
Chen San naturally recognized the man who was fat and rich. The man's name is Jin Wei, a well-known ruffian hooligan in this area, relying on his relationship with the government, and his family has money, he almost does whatever he wants in this place, no one can take care of it, and he is regarded as a local tyrant.
