After being stunned for a moment, the old patriarch forced out a smile and said: "No problem! Young man, you are a reputable person. You can obviously escape, but he still returns in the end. I have decided that from now on, we will no longer look after you.
."
The old patriarch obviously did not have a kind heart, but felt that with Wu Bei's wisdom, he would definitely not escape, otherwise he would not come back.
Wu Bei smiled and said: "Thank you, old patriarch. Since I promised to help you get money, I will not leave early."
The old patriarch was even a little moved. He patted Wu Bei on the shoulder: "You are such a good boy."
The others were also very moved, and even felt that Wu Bei was becoming more and more pleasing to their eyes.
As a result, Wu Bei was moved to a larger yard. In order to take good care of Wu Bei, the old patriarch sent several people to serve him.
The courtyard is very large. It was originally used for the grandson of the old patriarch to find a wife, but now it was temporarily given to Wu Bei.
Soon, the largest wooden barrel in the village and a new bathing utensil made by a carpenter in the village were carried into Wu Bei's yard.
An aunt came over to boil water for Wu Bei, then cleaned the yard and cooked a delicious meal for him.
The aunt is actually not very old, only in her early thirties. She has just given birth to her fourth child. She is very strong and efficient at work. Wu Bei calls her Aunt Zhou.
This time, Wu Bei collected hundreds of medicinal herbs. He picked some of them and boiled them in water. At the same time, he picked out thirteen more medicinal herbs, boiled them in a medicine basin, boiled them into soup, and poured them into bowls.
When the water boiled, he didn't even turn off the fire and soaked directly into the boiling water. The water was very hot, but the weak Qi in his body could easily resist this temperature.
After soaking for a while, he drank the first bowl of medicine, then closed his eyes and practiced exercises.
Two-quarters of an hour later, he called Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou was a woman who had given birth to a child and had no interest in young men like Wu Bei. He asked, "Little Master, what do you need?"
Wu Bei: "Aunt Zhou, have you seen that medicine pot? I've added water. You boil the medicine, then pour it into a bowl and bring it to me."
Aunt Zhou was clumsy, but she worked quickly. After a while, the medicine took effect.
About twenty minutes later, she brought a bowl of hot medicine to Wu Bei, and then asked sympathetically: "Young master, are you sick? Don't take medicine randomly. There is a doctor Li in the village. I invited him to give you medicine."
Can you take a look?"
Wu Bei smiled and said, "Aunt Zhou, I'm fine." After saying that, he poured the hot liquid into his mouth.
Aunt Zhou was dumbfounded by this scene, and she said "ouch": "Young master, please don't burn it!"
However, nothing happened to Wu Bei. He handed the bowl over and said, "Aunt Zhou, you continue to cook another pot."
In this way, Wu Bei drank a bowl of medicine every once in a while. After drinking five bowls of medicine in a row, he said: "Aunt Zhou, please go out first. Thank you for your hard work."
Aunt Zhou said: "Okay, then call me if you need anything."
As soon as Aunt Zhou closed the door, a layer of purple light appeared all over Wu Bei's body. With the help of medicinal bath and seven bowls of medicine, he opened up five more meridians.
At this time, the true energy is flowing in the six meridians. At this time, he has long been reborn and his strength has greatly increased.
In fact, he only needs to open three meridians to sweep through the whole village. Now that he has opened six meridians, the villagers are no longer his opponents.
However, he didn't know the situation outside, so he decided to stay in the village to practice and improve his strength.
That night, half of the time was spent practicing and the other half was spent resting.
In the early morning of the next day, Wu Bei woke up from hunger. After opening the six meridians, his strength became stronger and his food intake naturally increased many times, so he became very hungry.
He asked Aunt Zhou to prepare a meal for ten people. Aunt Zhou felt very strange after hearing this, so she went to ask the old patriarch. Although the old patriarch also felt strange, he still let her prepare it.
In this way, for just one breakfast, Wu Bei ate two sheep, twenty eggs, five salted duck eggs, two pots of rice, six plates of stir-fried vegetables, and a pot of mushroom soup.
When Wu Bei had eaten all the food, Aunt Zhou was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly said: "Young master, you won't be full after eating so much, right?"
Wu Bei patted his belly and said with a smile: "Aunt Zhou, it's okay. You tell the clan leader that I'm going up to the mountain to play and won't come back until tonight."
Aunt Zhou nodded: "Go ahead. The old patriarch said that you can come in and out of the village at will."
Not long after Wu Bei left, the old patriarch came with Xiang Ren. Hearing that Wu Bei was going up the mountain again, he asked strangely: "Why does he always go up the mountain?"
Aunt Zhou said at this time: "Old patriarch, the young master ate all the food I prepared."
The old patriarch was startled: "What, you ate everything?"
Aunt Zhou nodded: "These things are enough for a dozen strong men to have a full meal. How can one person's belly hold so much food?"
The old patriarch was thoughtful and said: "When he comes back, let him come to see me."
After opening up six meridians, Wu Bei's speed and strength were qualitatively improved. He jumped like flying in the mountains, and the efficiency of collecting herbs improved again. This time, he went further and once entered the virgin forest.
Collecting herbs.
However, as he walked further, there were more medicinal materials. This time he carried two sacks back to the village.
When we returned to the village, the sun had already set and it was just dark.
Wu Bei, he put down the medicinal materials, then picked out some and put them into a large wooden barrel, and asked Aunt Zhou to boil water.
Aunt Zhou said: "Little Master, the old patriarch asked you to come over when you come back."
Wu Bei smiled and said: "Okay. Aunt Zhou, you light the fire first."
When he arrived at the place where the old patriarch lived, he saw that the old patriarch had set the dining table in the yard, called a few young men over, and said with a smile: "Sir, let's have a few drinks tonight."
Wu Bei smiled: "Okay. But I don't drink well, so don't drink me."
The old patriarch smiled and said: "Sir, how can a man be afraid of drinking. Come, sit down."
His address to Wu Bei changed from "young man" to "gongzi", indicating that he already had some respect for Wu Bei in his heart.
Wu Bei sat down, and the old patriarch personally poured him a bowl of wine and said with a smile: "Let's drink one first."
After finishing a bowl of wine, the old patriarch observed his face and asked with a smile: "Sir, are you going up the mountain again today?"
Wu Bei: "Yes. I collected a lot of medicine."
The old patriarch: "I also noticed that you picked a lot of herbs."
Wu Bei knew that he was doubtful, so he said: "Old patriarch, you also know that my family is from a wealthy family in Zhangcheng, so naturally there are some methods of cultivation. I picked these medicines for cultivation."
The old patriarch was shocked: "It seems that my guess is correct. You come from a rich family, how can you not understand the method of cultivation!"
Now that Wu Bei had opened up the six meridians, he was no longer afraid of these villagers. He no longer concealed his practice. He deliberately asked: "Old patriarch, do you also know how to practice?"
The old patriarch sighed: "What do you know? If there was someone who understood, we wouldn't live in such a remote mountain village. We would have gone to live in the city long ago."
Wu Bei: "Don't you understand at all?"
Old Patriarch: "We just know some steps of practice. As for the techniques of practice, that is not something that low-level people like us can know." This chapter has been completed!
