Chu Jiu picked up the chopsticks and urged us to hurry up, otherwise it would be a pity to waste such a good meal.
Xiaoyu smiled slightly, picked up the water glass and stared at the wall for a long time without any movement.
I was even more upset and had no appetite. Now I finally understood very clearly that they were right. Killing us is really no different from killing an ant.
"I just can't figure out what's bothering you all?"
Chu Jiu grabbed a grilled lamb chop and gnawed on it. With absolute strength, doing anything was in vain. It was better to eat well, sleep well, and be happy every second.
"Hehe, it's better to take it easy on Chujiu. Let's eat."
Xiaoyu put down the water glass in her hand and picked up the chopsticks. What happened just now made her feel so frustrated.
When I came on the road, I thought that if I used all my means and was willing to fight hard, I could at least give them a fight. But now it seems that I am overthinking it.
"Eat it, you will be happy every second."
Chujiu and Xiaoyu stared at me, and I shook my head. There was really nothing I could do this time. All the strategies I had thought of before coming seemed to be in vain.
"Let's eat. Eat more beef and liver to replenish your blood."
Chu Jiu pointed at a few dishes with chopsticks. These dishes are all blood-tonifying. What we need most now is to eat more of these.
Xiaoyu worriedly asked Chujiu if the woman who just took our blood would cause any damage to our bodies.
Chu Jiu grabbed a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth. However, the taste was not pleasant and it did not cause any harm to the body. There are 4,000 milliliters of blood in an adult's body. As a medical staff, Sister Xiaoyu must know how to spread it.
"The few drops of blood brought out by the needle can be replenished with a meal."
Xiaoyu dubiously put some beef into Chujiu and I's bowls again. Eating more beef and drinking more water can indeed replenish blood.
I lowered my head and stuffed a piece of beef into my mouth.
When Jie Jiang mentioned the word "heartache", I thought of a lesson he once taught me in the ninth grade of junior high school.
The blood between the eyebrows and the heart are called essence blood by Taoists, which are completely different from the blood flowing in the blood vessels.
I remember when I was telling me about the blood between the eyebrows on the ninth day of the lunar month, I specifically said that the blood between the eyebrows is actually the spiritual energy in a person's body.
When the spiritual energy in a person's body is taken away, the person will begin to become less intelligent, that is, he will become more and more stupid, and his vitality will become weaker and weaker until he dies.
At that time, we were sitting at the foot of the mountain and resting. Chujiu pointed at the cap of the mineral water bottle in my hand. No one has put so much thought into it.
I asked Chujiu again how long it would take for the human body’s blood and essence to be replenished after it is lost.
Chujiu answered me very seriously. If you keep exercising, drink a lot of water and take medicine, it will take at least several years. If you find a medicine that belongs to the genius level, the time will be shorter.
I remember that Chujiu specifically told me that if a Taoist cultivator loses too much essence and blood, it will affect the speed and effect of Taoism.
In order not to worry Xiaoyu, Chujiu made up a lie.
While playing and laughing along with the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, I ate a lot of blood-rich meals and drank glass after glass of water.
Under our influence, Xiaoyu actually ate a lot more than usual. Sure enough, the crowds of people and the lively atmosphere improved his appetite.
"Guo Guo, I'm going to the toilet."
Chu Jiu stood up and walked out the door. As soon as he opened the door, he was pointed at by two men in Miao uniforms standing outside the door. Needless to say, several guns on the sentry post must be pointed at this direction.
"I'm going to the toilet to urinate, poop or pee, do you want me to do it?"
Chujiu yelled at the two people at the door. The two of them were mumbling and didn't seem to speak Mandarin.
In the end, Chujiu slammed the door so hard that he couldn't even go out to use the toilet.
Seeing Xiaoyu's surprised expression, Chujiu pointed to a room at the end of the living room where there was a toilet, and Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"These two are bedrooms."
On the ninth day of the month, I opened every door and took a look. The two rooms on both sides of our dining table were exactly two bedrooms.
"He's such a fairy~"
Chujiu pointed to the light bulb on the wall of the bedroom. There was an electric light in this damn place, but unfortunately it seemed that the light was not turned on yet.
I was also extremely shocked. The geographical conditions here are more difficult than those in Fengwangzhai, and electrical appliances were used earlier than in Fengwangzhai.
It seems that Hualou has been making crazy money outside in recent years, and a large part of it has been spent on road construction and construction.
"Dong dong dong~"
There was a knock on the door, and then the door was opened, and two young men in Miao clothes walked into the room under the supervision of two sentries at the door.
The tableware on the dinner table was cleared, and one of them muttered something as he left the room.
Chujiu will translate for us, and tea and boiled water will be delivered later for our use.
Sure enough, half an hour later, there was another knock on the door. It was the same two people who brought tea sets and two thermos bottles.
This time it was the sentry who talked to us. From the room he pointed at, I understood that he wanted us to stop running around and rest early.
"I want to live with you."
Xiao Yu looked at the windowless bedroom and felt something strange.
"But there is only one bed in a room."
Chujiu was still thinking that she could sleep in a room alone, so Xiaoyu pointed at the ground. The two of you slept on the floor, so that you could deal with emergencies and chat together to pass the time.
"Are you sure they don't understand Mandarin?"
Chujiu and I carried the bedding from another room and spread it on the floor. I suddenly thought about whether the content of our chat might be heard by people outside.
"You understand me, I just greeted their whole family with a smile, and they nodded to me with a smile."
"At least it will be safe for the next two days."
What I can be sure of is that the Ancient Miao Village will not take action against us for at least a day or two, because they are not sure whether our ancestor is still alive in the world.
This all relied on the flawless acting skills of Chujiu and I. The two time points we mentioned were both the same time points that Gu Miao Village was suspicious of.
Twenty-three years ago was the year I was born, so it is easy to understand why I would appear as a master.
Forty-eight years ago was the last time that Master walked around the world, and there has been no news about Master since then.
Even my grandfather and uncle are still not sure whether the master has passed away, let alone the four people in the ancient Miao village.
They themselves have mastered some methods of longevity, and we have to guess that our ancestors may also live a long life.
The age of the master has always been a mystery in the department, let alone these people who have lived in the ancient Miao village for hundreds of years.
Mr. Xu once suspected that his master's true age was more than 800 years old.
Ivan Qiao once chatted with us about the age of our master. Maybe Lao Li had broken through the shackles of life.
