Wu Jie's worries soon became a reality. At the end of March, Lin Lushan found him worriedly working alone in the pharmacy.
"Fourth Brother, Third Sister's condition is a bit abnormal!"
Wu Jie, who was busy making medicine, was stunned. He put down what he was doing and went to the pharmacy door to look around. After making sure that no one was around, he hurriedly closed the door and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
"The third sister said that she would practice magic skills hard in seclusion. After coming out of seclusion, her kung fu improved, but her brain became a little confused. Not only did she forget a lot of things, but she even lost the martial arts she had practiced so hard since childhood." Lin Lushan said with a frown.
, "Now she climbs up the mountain early every morning to see the scenery and doesn't come back until night. It's like she's possessed by an evil spirit!"
Wu Jie slowly frowned.
Possessed by an evil spirit? I’m afraid it’s not that I’m possessed by an evil spirit, but that I’ve become obsessed with practicing Qigong!
You can tell at a glance that Taoist Sanshan is not a decent person, and it is not unusual for him to have problems with his exercises. Although Jasmine thinks that there shouldn't be any big problems with the beginner's exercises, the fact is that
In front of you.
"Come on, let's go back to town and see what happens!"
Wu Jie explained to the former Shenli Gangzhong who was working in the store, and then hurriedly went to the horse and carriage shop to hire an express train, and rushed to Wujiaji with Lin Lushan.
This carriage was completely different from the original one. It was pulled by strong horses, and the body was much lighter and stronger. It was originally used to drive people who were in urgent need but did not know how to ride a horse. Naturally, speed was the priority.
It was about twenty miles from Anfeng County to Wujiaji. The carriage was galloping along the road, and it had just passed noon when it had arrived outside Wujiaji.
After paying the driver for his hard work and letting him rest on his own, Wu Jie and Lin Lushan rushed to Du's house without stopping.
When they arrived at Du's house, they did not see Du Ruo, but they met Du Ruo's brother Du Yu.
Du Yu is the chief catcher of this county. He is very skilled in martial arts. He has been the leader of his brothers since he was a child. As an adult, he has grown taller, more powerful and handsome. He has envy many young girls in the county. But today, he looks a bit bad.
Not only did he have a few bruises on his face, but he also had difficulty walking. It seemed that he had been beaten quite badly.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Who beat you up like this!" Lin Lushan asked in surprise, "Where's the third sister? Did you go to the mountains to be in a daze again?"
"Forget about that stinky girl!" Du Yu was furious when talking about his sister, "I don't know where she learned this strange kung fu. She is so strong! And her temper is several times worse than before! I won't let her go to the mountain.
, she actually attacked me and beat me like this!"
He sat on the chair, angrily but helpless: "What's wrong with this girl! Fortunately, my father took the country soldiers to the county for training and is not at home now... Otherwise, I'm afraid she will be angry to death!"
"She started fighting with you?!" Wu Jie was shocked, "She actually started fighting with you? Hasn't she been very close to you since she was a child?"
As Wu Jie said, the relationship between brother and sister Du Yu and Du Ruo is very good. Because the Du family's mother died early and Du Tuanlian was usually busy, Du Ruo was almost brought up by her brother since she was a child. On the one hand, she followed Du Yu to learn to be a tomboy
On the other hand, she admires her brother very much. From Wu Jie's point of view, she may regard him as her idol.
Wu Jie wouldn't be surprised at all if Du Ruo had a fight with his father - the relationship between father and daughter was already a bit tense, and fights were common. But Du Ruo would actually fight with Du Yu? It's simply unbelievable!
"Just because you don't let her go up the mountain? Just because of this little thing?" Lin Lushan was so puzzled that question marks almost appeared on his head, "That's outrageous!"
Du Yu also looked depressed. For him, being beaten by his sister was far more psychologically painful than physical pain: "Is it because I drove away the pretty boy who came to ask for marriage last time?"
, are you angry with me?"
"Oh? Brother, have you ever done this kind of thing?" Wu Jie was a little curious, but then he drove his curiosity to Java, "I don't think she is angry about this kind of thing..."
"Didn't Third Sister herself say that she likes mighty men and doesn't like pretty boys..."
"Hmph! How can we men guess what a girl is thinking! Maybe she says she doesn't like it, but in fact she likes her very much. As a result, I messed up a marriage, and now she hates me..."
"It seems possible. Why don't I go check out Third Sister's story?"
"Stop, stop, stop! What are you talking about!" Wu Jie couldn't listen anymore and stopped Du Yu and Lin Lushan, who had already begun to use their gossip spirit, "Which mountain did she go to? I'll go over and see her.
"
"It's the one in the north of the town, the one further north of Sanshan Temple." Du Yu pointed to the north, "That mountain is called Rabbit Ridge in the town."
Wu Jie nodded and went out.
Passing through the town and heading north, about half a mile away was Sanshan Temple. If he ran at full speed, he would be there in a matter of seconds. However, he stopped once on the road - there was a mighty and fierce statue painted on the corner of the roadside. He had never seen it before.
I haven't seen it before, but the scratches seem to be quite new.
"Who painted this statue?" He was a little concerned about the statue, so he asked someone casually, "It's a good painting."
"It was painted by Sanjie Du. I don't know when she learned the skill of painting red portraits. It's really a transformation of a woman. The tigress can actually draw..."
Du Ruo painted? She can paint?
Wu Jie was surprised again.
Among the five brothers and sisters, when it comes to writing and painting, it is Lin Lushan. The youngest is good at writing in official cursive calligraphy, and is also good at using fine brushes to outline landscapes, bamboos and rocks. He has a bit of an artist's style. What about the others?
, Wu Jie's calligraphy is not bad, and he can also draw something. At least if he draws a tiger, he will not be mistaken for a cat, and if he draws a goat, he will not be mistaken for a pig - that's all. His brother Wu Cheng is good at writing in official style.
The small characters are neat and straight, and he has been praised by Lin Xiucai more than once.
But how can the Du brothers and sisters have any artistic talent? Not to mention Du Ruo, who has a messy temper, even Du Yu, who has a calmer personality, only practiced calligraphy hard after working as an official in the government - until now, he can only write slightly straight words.
Just a little bit, not good at painting or anything like that.
As for Du Ruo... In his impression, Du Ruo was good at wielding a knife and a stick, but she felt uncomfortable every time she picked up a pen. Lin Xiucai showed off his uncle's majesty and used a ruler to force her to learn to read, but she barely managed to learn two or three words.
It’s a hundred words, but that’s it, she still writes her name crookedly!
Although these statues of gods are painted with few strokes, they are very expressive and can be called the masterpieces of freehand paintings. The power and ferocity of the gods are conveyed through the scratches, as if you can hear them roaring fiercely and ready to fight at any time.
Du Ruo could draw such a thing? He wouldn’t believe it even if he killed Wu Jie!
So he was stunned for a while, and asked a few more people, but the answers were exactly the same.
These statues of gods were indeed painted by Du Ruo in the past few days.
Seeing Wu Jie's face full of disbelief, an impatient man dragged Wu Jie to the village chief's house and pointed to the statue in the corner that he could tell had just been painted not long ago.
"She painted this before she went up the mountain today. See for yourself, the brick dust on the ground is still there!"
The evidence was so overwhelming that Wu Jie couldn't help but not believe it.
He was filled with wonder and couldn't help but speed up. In a short while, he ran past the ruins of Sanshan Temple and ran up the mountain along Rabbit Ridge.
The reason why Rabbit Ridge is called Rabbit Ridge is because there are so many rabbits on the mountain. It is the end of March, which is when rabbits are active. It is said that there will be many rabbits along the way, but Wu Jie ran all the way and didn't see any.
There were traces of half a rabbit - in fact, he didn't see any animals. The mountain was quiet, only the mountain wind was whistling.
Rabbit Ridge is very high, towering into the clouds; there is a big stone on the top of the mountain, and Du Ruo is sitting on the stone.
When Wu Jie reached the top of the mountain, she was looking up at the sky, not knowing what to think.
"Third brother, what's wrong with you?" Wu Jie asked loudly, "Why did you start a fight with your elder brother! He doesn't have the adventures you have, so how can he beat you!"
Du Ruo lowered his head and looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes full of alienation.
Wu Jie was a little unhappy, but he still continued to persuade: "I know that you have been blessed with immortality, and you will be able to cultivate and become an immortal in the future. You feel that you are very great. But even if you are an immortal, you are still raised by your father and mother, and you still have to eat, drink, and have diarrhea.
, no need to make yourself look like a monster."
"Oh?" Du Ruo exclaimed softly, raising his eyebrows slightly, "What do you know?"
"I also know that you have the orthodoxy of Sanshan Taoist—" Wu Jie was about to continue, but suddenly felt a great danger, and the hairs all over his body stood up.
Looking face to face, Du Ruo's face had become very fierce, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
"You know too much!"
Before she finished speaking, she had already rushed down from the boulder, and she was like a fierce leopard, rushing towards Wu Jie.
Wu Jie didn't think about it carefully, and rushed forward with a fist.
The murderous intention just now seemed to be real, and it had clearly told him Du Ruo's attitude. Now he had no choice but to fight!
The two started moving their hands on the top of the mountain, their fists and feet colliding with each other making a dull sound. The howling wind was occasionally mixed with the sound of breaking stones.
For the two of them at this moment, these ordinary stones were completely vulnerable to a single blow. They would break if they were rubbed against each other. For a moment, the gravel from the top of the mountain flew everywhere, causing the nearby vegetation to break. Even those that were blown away by the mountain wind
The big tree that had not been blown down for many years also had pieces of bark broken off, just like a wound.
After fighting for about an hour, Wu Jie's strength gradually became a little weak, but Du Ruo's strength seemed to be endless, and his moves were still as fierce and fierce as before. What was worse was that Wu Jie was always a little hesitant in his moves, but Du Ruo was
Attacking with all his strength without any scruples, the originally even battle situation gradually tilted towards Wu Jie's unfavorable direction.
"Something's wrong! It's so wrong!" Wu Jie became more puzzled and surprised the more he fought, "The last time we fought, her strength was clearly not as strong as mine. How come she's better than me now? And her endurance is too good, right?"
!I am already at the peak of the acquired state, and I am a little tired, but why is she not tired at all!"
What surprised him even more was Du Ruo's attitude.
She really wants to kill herself!
"What on earth is going on!" Wu Jie was anxious and angry, and finally couldn't help shouting, "Du Laosan! Are you really fucking possessed?"
