Returning to Shimo Alley again, everyone felt like they were in another world.
"First remove all the eggs and see if they are broken."
The first thing Wang Cuihua did when she got home was to check the white jade eggs in the box. The carriage hit so violently before that even if the eggs in the box were cushioned by hay, they might not be fine.
Soon, all the boxes containing eggs were moved to the yard, including those previously placed on the bullock cart.
Thanks to Lao Hei's help, Niu Xiaosheng and the others recovered the oxcart on their way back. Not only were the items on the oxcart not lost, but the old buffalo was not injured either.
Excluding the eggs that were sold and used, the Niu family still had 958 white jade eggs left. After everyone counted them, they found that not many were broken, only 23.
Looking at the broken eggs, Wang Cuihua was like looking at a pile of copper plates that were about to be lost.
She endured the heartache, picked off the eggshells, collected the egg whites and yolks that came out, and kept them for cooking later.
At this time, Chen Quan walked up to Niu Chun with a delicate-looking woman and said, "Uncle Niu, I plan to go home with my mother for a visit."
Niu Chun looked at Chen Quan and his son, nodded and said, "Well, I should go back and have a look. I happen to have to go to the Yamen and I'm on my way, so I'll go with you."
Chen An is dead, leaving this orphan and widowed couple. With the current situation in the county, if you go back too late, maybe the house will be occupied by others.
After sending Chen Quan and her son home safely, Niu Chun came to the Yamen with excitement.
At this time, there were two soldiers wearing iron armor guarding the gate of the Yamen. Seeing Niu Chun approaching, one of the soldiers stepped forward and stopped him, "Whoever comes, any trespassers will die!"
"
Behind the tiger-shaped visor, a voice as cold as a blade came out, sending chills all over the body.
"My name is Niu Chun, and I used to be the commander of the scout battalion of the Tiger Army."
Niu Chun reveals his identity.
Immediately, the chill that originally enveloped him disappeared.
"It turns out to be Captain Niu!"
The soldier nodded slightly towards Niu Chun and said, "The general is waiting for you inside. Come in quickly."
The general is indeed here!
Niu Chun suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked step by step towards the Yamen gate.
After passing through the gate, you can see soldiers of the Tiger Army stationed everywhere inside, and an invisible pressure is rolling in. Fortunately, Niu Chun was used to this kind of scene in the early years, and he quickly calmed down and left.
Enter the lobby.
······
The next day, half of the city in Heishui County was deserted, and there was a lot of crying. Almost every household hung up white lanterns and wore linen and mourning.
According to rough statistics from the yamen, half of the people in Heishui County were wiped out by this disaster, which is comparable to a natural disaster!
On the third day, Niu Xiaosheng returned to the martial arts academy again, accompanied by Chen Quan and Niu Wanwan.
The two of them were able to enter the school, and they had to mention Niu Chun. He had merit in reporting the tomb in time. In addition, there was a vacancy in Heishui County as county captain. Niu Chun temporarily took the position of county captain. Although it was said to be temporary, there was actually little time between the appointment and the official appointment.
There is only one procedure left to go through, and when the formal appointment documents are issued, he will be a ninth-grade official.
As one of the three giants of the Heishui County Yamen! The county lieutenant is in charge of the military, law, scholars, service, households, and warehouses of a county. He has great real power, so Niu Chun arranged for several people to enter the martial arts academy. It was just a matter of words.
Moreover, the Wushu Academy also suffered heavy losses in this incident. The dean and all the martial arts teachers died in the tomb. Now the only ones in charge are the deacon Mo Xin and the liberal arts teacher Dong Fuzi. Because they did not go to Egouling,
Fortunately, he escaped.
Martial arts academy, freshmen school.
Only thirty-five freshmen returned on time, and those who were absent were obviously absent forever.
"I'm glad to see you all again. Before the new teacher arrives, I will continue to lead you in practice."
Although Zhang Lin had a smile on his face, he looked a little haggard.
He said, pulling Niu Wanwan and Chen Quan who were standing aside, and continued: "These two new students are Niu Wanwan and Chen Quan. From today on, they will practice together with everyone. You must get along well."
After a brief introduction, everyone began to stand up in an orderly manner.
However, a new member, Lu Qing, was added to the team practicing pile kung fu.
Niu Xiaosheng noticed that compared with before leaving the martial arts academy, Lu Qing was obviously much thinner, and he also had an aura that was incomparable to other people. Liu Sheng asked several questions, but was ignored by the other party.
Seeing that Lu Qing, who was not much different from him, started to practice Zhuang Kung Fu, Qin Fang, who was doing the horse step, suddenly became anxious and went directly to Zhang Lin, asking for another challenge.
A day passed quietly. Although Niu Wanwan had just joined the martial arts academy, she soon made two new friends, Yang Xiaoxin and Gao Miaomiao. Chen Quan was also forcibly adopted as his younger brother by Qin Fang.
The moon was at the top of the sky, and in the dead of night, Niu Xiaosheng opened his eyes in the wooden house, got out of bed, closed the doors and windows tightly, and then entered the space.
Surrounded by the fragrance of peach blossoms and tea, he fell into meditation and meditated, then slept to regain his soul power, and then visualized again.
Just like this, I practiced during the day and visualized at night, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of April.
31st, night.
In the space, Niu Xiaosheng looked at the body sitting cross-legged below, and felt a strange feeling.
When he completely visualized the Dragon's Eye, a huge power of the soul came back to him, and then he discovered that the soul could actually leave the body!
In the soul state, he felt as if he was in water. As long as his mind moved, his soul would float, which was very magical.
In addition, the field of view has also become 360 degrees, and you can see things that are usually invisible to the naked eye.
For example, the plants in the space are covered with a layer of green light of varying intensity, and over the chicken pen, roosters of all sizes are like fireballs, with the big rooster burning the brightest.
"Huh?"
While watching, Niu Xiaosheng suddenly noticed that the space seemed to have grown a bit larger. His heart moved, and his soul quickly drifted towards the border.
After careful comparison, Niu Xiaosheng found that the invisible barrier at the boundary extended by about two meters, which meant that the radius of the space had now increased from more than four meters to more than six meters.
Although the growth is not huge, it makes him ecstatic because it means that the space is not static, but will continue to expand.
After floating in space for a while, his soul felt tired, and Niu Xiaosheng quickly returned to his body.
After the soul entered the body, I felt a little different. It seemed that the world around me became much clearer, my six senses were greatly improved, and my energy was high. This feeling was wonderful.
Feeling that the time was almost up, Niu Xiaosheng left the space and returned to the wooden house. He opened the window, and only a few scattered stars were left hanging in the sky. The east had begun to turn white, and it was a new day. Today is the day every day in the martial arts academy.
