Negative one thousand two hundred steps.

Lives to one thousand two hundred years.

This sentence has such a strong tone.

The insects and lights in the gauze bag seemed to be in a trance for a moment. Qi Wuhuo raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him. His chewing movements slowed down, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this a joke?"

"According to legend, even Peng Zu only had a lifespan of 800 years, 1,200 years old?"

The old man spread his hands and said with a playful smile: "Who is calling you, you don't want this or that. The old man is worried, so naturally he made a joke for you, haha...ah, don't worry, kid, and leave me alone.

Meat porridge!”

The old man wanted to joke a bit, but when he saw this young man from a small town quickly trying to take away the old man's meat porridge, he couldn't help but laugh. After calling him a few times, the young man put the meat porridge back to him.

Qi Wuhuo was usually silent, upright and upright, and it was only at this time that he could see the character of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. The old man stroked his beard and smiled.

From now on, I no longer mention the so-called good karma.

The place where Qi Wuhuo lived was far away from the town, but the news spread very quickly. The news that the Qi family's children brought back an old man from outside quickly spread to several nearby streets.

Some said it belonged to an elder from the same clan as him, some said it was someone who was related to the family, and some said it was Qi Wuzhuo who coveted the old man's wealth, so he could support him. If you want to ask why, let's look at the purple robe he is wearing.

, but there is nothing comparable to that outfit in the entire town.

If not, how could Qi Wuhuo, who was extremely poor and had settled down, bring him back?

These gossips were passed around, but Qi Wuhuo ignored them, saying, "A gentleman is upright and blameless." Those people felt bored, and slowly this news was replaced by other people's "big news."

The 'new talk material' was suppressed.

Small towns and villages are mostly like this.

On the next ten days, heavy snow fell, and the whole town became cleaner and cleaner, as if isolated from the world. The old man who called himself Li, nicknamed Fan, was slowly brewing a pot of tea, while Qi Wuhuo was chopping firewood in the yard with an axe.

He didn't know why, but he just felt that his strength had grown more and more in the past ten days. Even a strong man could split a large bowl of firewood with two or three blows. He used to take five or six blows, but now it only takes one.

Just drop the ax.

The ax struck again, and the firewood was split with just a click. However, the ax continued to strike, and it cut deeply into the ground. The ax blade was embedded in it and could not be pulled out for a while.

Qi Wuhuo was stunned.

The old man who was making tea suddenly said with a teasing smile: "Strength comes from itself. I didn't expect that Wuhuo, you actually have some martial arts skills in the martial arts. Have you practiced any magical classics?"

Qi Wuhuo shook his head and said, "No."

After thinking for a while, he leaned down and twirled the firewood, and said, "Maybe the firewood has been left out for too long and the wood has become loose, which is why it is so easy to split."

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.

This cabin also has a small yard. The door was already dilapidated. Qi Wuhuo used wooden stakes to make a simple wooden door. It opened with just a push. Some rough people even kicked it open, but the visitor still knocked.

Qi Wuhuo already had a rough idea of ​​who was coming.

He put down the ax for chopping wood, straightened up his appearance a little, and hurried forward to open the door.

With a creaking sound, the wooden door opened. There was snow on the door. When the door was opened, it fell to the ground with the movement. There were three old pines on the roadside outside the door, and there were people under the pines.

Qi Wuhuo raised his eyes and saw that it was the gentleman wearing a green robe. The robe was thick but not cumbersome. On one side was a woman wearing a white double-breasted embroidered peony coat with a large bowl of peony. She was holding a green bamboo bone umbrella to protect herself from the wind and snow.

, the elegant temperament of men and women is incompatible with this small town.

From the outside, they saw a huge difference between him and the poor young man in a brown short robe, with only a straw rope tied up his hair to prevent it from becoming unkempt.

Qi Wuhuo slightly raised his hands and said calmly:

"I don't know if Mr. and Mrs. Su are visiting, but please come in."

Su Shengyuan stretched out his hand to stop and said with a smile: "No, no, it's going to snow heavily. I'm going home with my wife to visit her relatives. We have to go to the next city tonight, and there's still a long way to go, so I won't go in."

Qi Wuhuo raised his eyes slightly and saw that on the side of the road, a few hundred steps away from this remote alley, there was a green carriage drawn by two horses. There seemed to be something on it.

A fiery red figure opened the curtain of the carriage and looked over.

When he saw Qi Wuhuo, he shook his hands happily.

Su Shengyuan glanced at his wife and coughed slightly.

The elegant woman rolled her eyes at her husband, then took the initiative to hand over a package in her arms, straightened the collar of Qi Wuzhuo a little, and said in a broad and gentle voice: "It's very cold in winter, don't freeze it. There are two bags inside."

A cotton dress and a pair of thick-soled shoes with fine needle holes are suitable for you to wear in these three months."

"You can't refuse."

Qi Wuhuo was stunned and said: "How can this make..."

Su Shengyuan raised his hand with a smile and said: "I know you have an upright character, but don't you hear that 'it is a gift from the elders that cannot be declined'? Okay, okay, Wuyu, your master's wife has good intentions, so don't refuse anymore."

Fu breathed out another breath of cold air and asked: "These days, there is heavy snow and deep winter, and there are no lectures. How do you master the things you have learned in the past few years? How about I ask you a few questions?"

Immediately after the young man nodded, he asked.

Qi Wuhuo answered them one by one.

Su Shengyuan stroked his beard for a long time and sighed: "Okay, okay."

He stretched out his hand and patted Qi Wuhuo's shoulder vigorously, saying: "In the spring examination after March, I will recommend you. With your talent, you will dominate in one battle. Within three years, your reputation will spread among the states and counties."

between."

"Encourage it, encourage it!"

Qi Wuhuo vaguely seemed to hear the disdainful sneer of the old man in the yard.

But for some reason, Su Shengyuan didn't seem to hear it.

After chatting for a while, Su Shengyuan encouraged Qi Wuhuo a lot, and then left at the secret urging of his wife.

Returning to the carriage, I was still filled with emotion.

Even his wife was a little shocked by her husband's performance and said: "That child...is he really so talented?"

Su Shengyuan sighed: "More than that, he is simply a person who is born with knowledge! Every time he speaks, there is something amazing about him. I have traveled around the countryside of Kyushu for more than 30 years, and there may be people who are more knowledgeable than him, but I have never seen anyone more knowledgeable than him.

Talented."

After thinking for a while, he looked to one side.

There is a girl who is thirteen years old, with her tail feathers hanging down, and is dressed in red. She is playing with a small mechanism in her hand. She is the daughter of the Su family. She is doted on by her family. Her clothes are all made of firefox fur, with cuffs and collars.

Turned over, the white down is exposed, which makes her eyebrows even more cute. I think in a few years, she will be very beautiful.

Su Shengyuan muttered:

"Yue'er, do you remember Qi Wuhuo?"

The girl giggled and said, "Remember, that guy is always upright, like a bamboo, and is always the first one to come. Father, you said you were very talented, of course you remember that guy."

Su Shengyuan pondered and suddenly said:

"What if you get engaged to Wuhuo in three years?"
