Chapter 19 ~ Grief
Chu Nan looked at the wide open courtyard gates, as well as the yin wind grass that should not be exposed to the sun. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It is noon now, according to the past, Xue Zhigui is either cooking or eating at this time, and the old man of the Xue family should also be, sitting on the table under the pergola in the courtyard, drinking herbal tea and reading medical books, waiting for dinner.
After a turn inside and outside the house, the pharmacopoeia that Old Man Xue usually regarded as a treasure was placed on the ground, and the big knife hanging on the wall was nowhere to be seen.
The water tank in the kitchen is empty, Xue Zhigui will get up early every morning to go down the mountain to fetch water, and there will be most of the water in the evening, only when he takes a bath at night, the water tank will be empty, waiting for Xue Zhigui to pick it up the next day.
Various phenomena at home show that the Xue family and the grandfathers either went out at night, or left early in the morning when they had something to do.
If it is a person, there will be an emergency, maybe to help others, maybe to save people, after all, the old man of the Xue family is a famous doctor.
Chu Nan didn't care too much about the Xue family's grandfather and grandson not being at home, but it was really uncomfortable to be hungry.
People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.
When the Chu man was young, he was hungry without eating, so he picked a few greens in the vegetable garden and took out two eggs from the old hen's nest.
The ingredients are ready, all that remains is to cook and stir-fry, and when the rice is stewed, I remember that there is no water, so I pick up the flat pole and carry two wooden barrels to prepare to go down the mountain.
As soon as I went out, I saw Xue Zhigui's little friend black leather back driving a scalper back from the mountain.
Heipi saw Chu Nan and said, "Uncle Chu, Xue Ye and Xiaogui have gone to visit Brother Dagui, Brother Dagui seems to be injured, Grandpa Xue asked me to tell you, they will come back in a few days." ”
"Well, Uncle knows, thank you, Heipi. ”
Chu Nan knew that Xue Fugui was working as a dart master in the county seat, and it was inevitable that the dart walker would be injured when he encountered bandits and robbers.
Xue Fugui was not injured once or twice, and the Xue family and the two of them went to visit not once or twice, without thinking too much, he carried the bucket down the mountain.
Lying on the chair quietly basking in the sun after the meal, Chu Nan couldn't help but think of the situation when the drought demon used the pure yang corpse bead to cultivate the Great Day Decision.
Naturally, Chu Nan closed his eyes and opened his mouth to face the sun, and a light invisible to the naked eye entered his mouth, and he absorbed the essence of the sun one after another.
The essence of the sun ran along the veins in his body according to the direction of the Great Sun Determination Exercise, and directly entered his mind and was absorbed by the Chaos Corpse Bead, which was originally a dark gray Chaos Corpse Bead, and a trace of golden light appeared on it that was invisible to the naked eye.
Time flies, the sun sets and the moon rises, and yin and yang are exchanged.
The sun disappeared, and the Great Sun Determination would not be able to cultivate, Chu Nan instinctively absorbed the essence of the moon against the moon, and the milky white essence of the moon scrambled to enter his mouth.
The essence of the moon was also absorbed by the Chaos Corpse Orb, and there was also an extra trace of milky white light on the Chaos Corpse Bead that was invisible to the naked eye.
Two hours later, "there was a rumbling sound in my stomach." ”
"Alas, as a human being, the most troublesome thing is not to eat!"
Interrupted by the sound of a hungry stomach, Chu Nan went to cook with emotion.
He was tempted to change his zombie form to absorb the Essence of the Moon, but this idea was quickly dispelled by him.
Zombies are born from the resentment of heaven and earth, and they are no longer in the five elements, as long as the body is not broken, they don't worry about longevity.
Chu Nan thinks that it is good to live in the mortal world.
The days went by like this, and when I was hungry, I cooked and ate by myself, and after eating, I lay on the chair and absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon.
In an instant, he had been cooking for himself for a month.
The daily cultivation made him feel as if something was being overlooked, and it was as if there was nothing to be ignored.
"Bump!" the gate of the courtyard was slammed open.
After Xue Zhigui, who was covered in blood, saw Chu Nan in the courtyard, his tense nerves suddenly loosened and fainted.
When Chu Nan saw Xue Zhigui's appearance, he was shocked in his heart.
I learned a lot of medical skills from Xue Ba, and I took Xue Zhigui's pulse at the moment, except for a few flesh wounds on his body, there was no major problem, but he fainted with sadness and detachment.
A vote of cold water was poured on Xue Zhigui's face and pressed into the crowd.
Xue Zhigui gradually opened his eyes, and after seeing Chu Nan, he cried wow, "Uncle Chu! Grandpa and eldest brother died, grandpa and eldest brother died so miserably." ”
"What! Dagui and Old Man Xue are dead. ”
Chu Nan chuckled in his heart, and the indescribable sadness in his heart was uncomfortable.
Although Xue Ba and him do not have the name of real master and apprentice, they do have the reality of master and apprentice, and Xue Ba treats him the same as his own son.
Chu Nan wanted to know how Xue Ba and Xue Fugui died, he wanted to know what happened during this time, "Xiaogui, don't cry, tell your uncle, how did the master and Dagui die, and whose hands did they die." ”
Xue Zhigui immediately received a letter from someone on that day, saying that his brother Xue Fugui's left and right arms were broken, and no one in the county could heal him, Xue Ba was worried about his eldest grandson's injury, so he rushed to the county seat with Xue Zhigui overnight.
As soon as he arrived in the county seat, he was caught by the traps laid by the officers and soldiers, and he went to the prison and knew from the interrogator that his brother Xue Fugui had an immortal promotion order in his hand, and Xue Fugui hid with the immortal promotion order.
Where did Xue Ba and Xue Zhigui know what the Immortal Ascension Order was for, and they learned from the county order Lu Shixiong that the Immortal Ascension Order could enter the Yin Corpse Sect of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, and those who held the Immortal Ascension Order could directly bypass the miscellaneous servants and become disciples of the outer sect.
Lu Shixiong is a mortal, he has been yearning for cultivating immortals for a long time, and in the past ten years, he has sent people around to buy immortal promotion orders, and his study and living room are full of albums of sect promotion orders.
Lu Shixiong has a precious medicinal material in his hand, which needs to be given to the backer in the capital, and hires Xue Fuguibao to take this trip, Xue Zhigui saw a painting in Lu Shixiong's living room, and said, he killed a group of robbers a few days ago, and obtained the same brand as the painting in the hands of a robber.
said unintentionally, the listener was intentional, Lu Shixiong entertained Xue Fugui that night, there was sweat medicine in the wine, and Xue Fugui, who was arrested, was immediately broken with two arms.
Lu Shixiong sent his subordinates to get the immortal promotion order with Xue Fugui.
After Xue Fugui escaped with a trick, he hid.
Lu Shixiong searched for many days and did not catch Xue Fugui, so he sent someone to inquire about his roots, knowing that he also had a grandfather and younger brother, so he sent someone to inform Xue Ba that Xue Fugui was injured.
After catching Xue Ba and Xue Zhigui, Lu Shixiong immediately interrogated them where Xue Fugui was hiding.
Where did Xue Ba know where the eldest grandson was hiding, even if he knew, he wouldn't say.
Lu Shixiong saw that they really didn't know, so he spread rumors in the city, saying that Xue Ba Xue Zhigui was a Jiangyang thief, who killed people and set fires to death, and wanted to be burned at the stake.
On the day of the execution, Xue Fugui appeared.
Qin Hui also has three friends, and Xue Fugui also has a few brothers who have died.
Xue Fugui led people to rob the law field, and finally fell into a trap and was arrested.
Forced to die, as long as Xue Ba Xue Zhigui and his friends are released, Xue Fugui will give the immortal promotion order to Lu Shixiong.
Lu Shixiong was afraid that he would not get the immortal promotion order, so he released Xue Ba and a few of his friends.
After Xue Ba and Xue Zhigui left, Xue Ba was worried about the comfort of his eldest grandson, so he asked Xue Zhigui to go first, but if Xue Zhigui didn't leave, Xue Ba would knock him out.
When he woke up, his grandfather was gone, so he went to the county seat, saw his brother killed at the city gate, and asked about his grandfather after being sad.
Soon learned from the county population that the county order caught Xue Ba, who had escaped, and burned Xue Ba alive at noon today.
Xue Zhigui went to assassinate Lu Shixiong, but the assassination failed, remembering that he had heard his grandfather say that Uncle Chu was likely to be an immortal cultivator when he was a child, and when he thought of Uncle Chu, whose appearance had not changed in the slightest in recent years, he put the hope of revenge on him.
Chu Nan patted Xue Zhigui on the back and said, "Xiaogui, you have a good night's rest first, and Uncle Tomorrow will take you to avenge the old man." ”
Looking at the moon in the sky and thinking of Xue Ba who was burned to death, Chu Nan couldn't calm down in his heart.
