Chapter 3: The Devil's Errand
Liang Wenfu saw the remaining medicinal paste on the ground at a glance, hurriedly jumped out of the puddle, grabbed it and wiped it all over his body. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info medicine was confused on the body, and the blazing feeling all over the body was immediately suppressed and became much more refreshing.
But he only felt comfortable for a while, and then he felt the heat in his body gradually come out again, and the cool air from the outside to the inside and the heat from the inside to the outside held each other in his body. After a while, the cool air disappeared completely, the hot air steamed out, and the paste applied to his body emitted a trace of steam, and after a while, it dried up and cracked into lumps.
Liang Wenfu hurriedly rubbed off the dry ointment on his body, grabbed the paste on the ground and continued to apply it on his body. Looking down, there is not much medicine paste on the ground, and the elephants have no intention of continuing to collect medicine after signaling, it seems that this medicine is very rare, maybe there is this one nearby, but you have to save a little use.
Liang Wenfu changed the medicine five more times, each time he waited until the heat was unbearable, and the last time he scraped the medicine paste and applied it to his body with the mud on the ground, and the heat in his body finally dissipated completely.
Liang Wenfu stood up, only to feel refreshed, and an unprecedented feeling of comfort spread throughout his body.
What surprised Liang Wenfu even more was that his mind had now become very clear: the memories of his and Liang Youcai's combined lives, everything from childhood to adulthood were now as clear as imprinted in his mind. What's even more surprising is that not only the books he has read in the other world, but even the subset of scriptures and histories that have been read and forgotten by Liang Youcai, now he can memorize them like a stream!
What does this mean? It means that after he goes back, a showman and fame will be at his fingertips! And in this world, after gaining a showman's fame, he will be exempted from military service, exempt from taxes, and will not kneel down when he sees officials, and will not be worthy of a license...... There are so many benefits!
But as soon as he thought of this, Liang Wenfu sighed: Why do you want to go so far now? Let's find a way to survive tomorrow first! Now it's not early, so I can only go home first today.
Liang Wenfu was now covered with dirty mud, so he hurriedly jumped into the puddle to wash up. When he was taking a bath, he looked down and saw that his figure, which was originally a little chubby, had now become muscular, especially the neat eight-pack abdominal muscles. If you move around at will, you will feel that your whole body is full of strength.
After cleaning up, Liang Wenfu said goodbye to the elephants and prepared to go home. Seeing that he was leaving, the elephant stepped forward quickly, put him on his back with a roll of his nose, and walked into the opposite woods first, followed by the other elephants.
Liang Wenfu sat strangely on the back of the elephant, he couldn't understand what was going on with them, it couldn't be that he was going to let himself help kill some monster and beast, right?
Soon, Liang Wenfu figured it out: when he came to an ancient tree, after the elephant put him on the ground, he immediately used his front legs to dig up under the tree, and several elephants came behind him to help dig the soil together.
After digging a shallow layer of soil, a piece of white flowers was revealed underneath, and it turned out to be a pile of ivory!
The elephants took out the tusks from the pit and piled them all in front of Liang Wenfu, there were more than 100 of them.
After confirming that the elephant was going to give him ivory, Liang Wenfu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the depressed mood of the past two days was completely relaxed! With these tusks, he was able to save his life.
Since it was the elephant who took the initiative to send it away, Liang Wenfu was not hypocritical, and he took it with peace of mind. Besides, ivory is a normal commodity in circulation in this day and age!
When Liang Wenfu tied the ivory with rattan firmly, the elephant carried him and the bundle of tusks, and the herd followed, until he was sent to the big stone where he slept at noon, and then he said goodbye to him.
At this time, it was already dark, and it was estimated that Liang's mother was already in a hurry. Liang Wenfu picked up the bundle of ivory and walked home along the way.
After eating the Fox Bead, his physique has really changed a lot, Liang Wenfu carried more than 100 catties of ivory, and even drove a few miles, and when he returned to the village, he breathed as usual, without taking a breath!
Liang's mother ran around the town for a day, but only borrowed a few hundred dollars, and only went home after dark, and when she got home, she didn't see her son, and she had already looked around the village, and the two happened to meet at the entrance of the village at this time. Seeing her son come back, Liang's mother finally put her mind at ease.
In the dim night, Liang's mother thought that her son was carrying a bundle of firewood, and when she returned home, she fetched water for her son to wash his face, and was busy going to the kitchen to cook.
Liang Wenfu took advantage of the night to hurriedly go back to the house and change into new clothes - today's clothes were burned with several big holes, so that Liang's mother would be worried again when she saw it. Today, his figure has changed a lot, but fortunately, the ancient clothes are relatively wide, and it doesn't look obvious when he wears clothes, so Liang's mother didn't notice it. Otherwise, the time of day changes so much, it's hard to explain it to her.
After cooking, Liang's mother asked Liang Wenfu to eat first, and she brought a bowl to be sent to the next door. Liang Wenfu got up and took the food in her hand, let her eat it first, and sent it over by herself: There is a mother and daughter living next door to the Liang family, the daughter is called Yun Cuixian, and the mica is a blind man.
The mother and daughter are very poor, and they rely on Yun Cuixian to make some female red in exchange for money to buy some grain and oil, and the family often can't open the pot. Later, Liang's mother found out that although the Liang family was not well-off, she still sent some grain and oil over in three days. And every time she received something from Liang's mother, Yun Cuixian never said thank you, but would often come over to help Liang's mother do some chores.
A few days ago, Yun Cuixian had something to go out, and when she left, she asked Liang's mother to take care of her mother, Liang's mother originally took the mica over to live together, but after Liang Wenfu's accident, the old lady was embarrassed to trouble again, so she went home, so Liang's mother sent a bowl to her after cooking these days.
After Liang Wenfu sent the food over, Mica cried: "I have received a lot of favors in the past few months, but your family is in trouble now, how can you ruin a bad old woman for me again?"
"It's just a bowl of rice...... Liang Wenfu comforted her for a moment before she finally agreed to eat it.
When Liang Wenfu came back, she saw Liang's mother sitting on the side and sighed, and invited her to come over for dinner, but she waved her hand and refused, saying that she couldn't eat.
Liang Wenfu wondered in her heart, now that she has ivory, why is she still in a bad mood? Looking at the courtyard, Liang Wenfu understood: It was probably too dark, and she didn't see that it was ivory!
At that moment, Liang Wenfu didn't say a word, and went to the courtyard to carry the bundle of ivory into the house. Liang's mother looked at her son strangely: As she was talking, why did she go and carry a bundle of firewood in? When she saw that her son was carrying a bundle of ivory, she was so shocked that she opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak.
In order not to worry his mother, Liang Wenfu didn't say anything about helping the elephant kill the elephant, only said that he met an elephant mound that was washed away by heavy rain today, so he got these things.
Liang's mother was pleasantly surprised when she heard this, and chanted vigorously, "God bless, ancestors bless ......"
Liang Wenfu handed her the rice bowl and said, "Now don't worry, mother, hurry up and eat, I'll sell a few tusks early tomorrow morning, and then go to the master to help me drive away the disaster!"
Liang's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief and happily sat on the side to eat with her son. Looking at Liang's mother's bright smile, and thinking of the past two days when she begged people everywhere for herself, Liang Wenfu's eyes were so moved that his eyes were hot.
He was an orphan in his previous life, and what he longed for most was the warmth of his family, and now he finally felt it! He made up his mind in his heart: Since the scumbag Liang Youcai is dead, I will be filial to your mother for you in the future!
Thinking of this, Liang Wenfu spoke: "Mother, after this incident, I will definitely reform my ways, stop doing evil, and let you live a good life." ”
When Liang's mother heard this, she looked at her son in surprise: every time she persuaded her son to learn better in the past, he would be annoyed and slammed the door away. Today he actually took the initiative to say that he wanted to change his life? Thinking about it carefully, his son is a little different today, he seems to be a lot more well-behaved and diligent tonight, but he has something on his mind before and he didn't notice it.
In the past two years, I have broken my heart for my son, and now I am finally looking forward to the end? Thinking of this, Liang's mother was so excited that she choked up.
Liang Wenfu said softly: "Mother, hurry up and eat, don't be reluctant! In the future, our family will have money, and you will have the strength to enjoy happiness after you have eaten enough!"
Liang's mother glanced at her son with a smile, and finally broke into a smile. She doesn't want to enjoy any blessings, she just hopes that her son can really reform and marry a daughter-in-law in the future to live a good life.
A simple dinner, the mother and son ate happily. After dinner, Liang Wenfu chatted with his mother for more than half an hour, and then the two went back to their rooms to rest.
Liang's mother hadn't slept well for a few days, but now she let go of her worries, and she fell asleep sweetly after a while. Liang Wenfu in the other room has not yet slept, and he is planning his future life plans in his heart.
Until the rooster crowed, Liang Wenfu finally felt sleepy and was about to fall asleep, but suddenly heard a very slight sound from the window.
Liang Wenfu turned around and looked through the moonlight, only to see a palm-sized piece of paper coming in through the crack in the window!
It was a piece of paper that had been cut into a human shape, and in the moonlight, the head of the paper man was faintly visible, and the body was painted with red curvy charms.
The piece of paper fell to the inside of the room with a soft sound, and Liang Wenfu sat up from the bed, wanting to pick up the piece of paper to check. As soon as he got up, the paper man on the ground suddenly changed - the paper quickly grew in size like a balloon, and in the blink of an eye, it became a living little man more than two feet tall!
Liang Wenfu was worried in his heart: "Could it be that this is the legendary ghost who came to ask for his life?"
The villain jumped up and stabbed Liang Wenfu, who had just sat up, with the spear in his hand waving. When the tip of the spear was about to stab his forehead, Liang Wenfu finally reacted: "Don't care if you are a ghost, it's not so easy to want my life!" At that moment, his head flung to the right, and while avoiding the spear, he kicked the villain to the ground!
Then Liang Wenfu didn't have time to put on his shoes, jumped behind the door in one step, picked up the top door stick and smashed it at the villain, the villain just straightened up from the ground, and was smashed on the head by Liang Wenfu with a stick.
The sound of a balloon bursting came out, and the villain died in response, and then slowly became smaller and flattened, and became a piece of paper again, sticking to the ground and not moving.
"So easy?" Liang Wenfu pressed the piece of paper to the ground with a top door stick a little uneasily, leaned over and felt the oil lamp sickle from the windowsill, and after lighting the oil lamp, he quickly bent down to pick up the piece of paper and lit it.
When the piece of paper was completely burned to ashes, Liang Wenfu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to wonder: "This is the ghost who asks for his life, how can he be so easy to deal with?!"
