374, The Strangeness of the Old World (1/2, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)
The main reason why Su Wu kept this little yellow dog was
It's not just to feed it and go hunting,
But I want to train it into a treacherous hunting dog.
but,
This dog's qualifications are very poor right now.
Not to mention being on par with the worst treacherous mastiff in the Secret Realm, even an ordinary mixed-blood mastiff is much stronger than it with a little training.
But where can Su Wu find mastiff dogs to train now?
Su Wu's own wealth was still outside taking turns controlling the white coffin with Fang Yuan, dealing with the 'evil god', and it was impossible to bring it into the simulation.
His idea was to rely on the method of cultivating the secret-seeking mastiff in the secret realm.
Give this little yellow dog some training.
It also adds a layer of foundation to the Yinxi pulse.
"Where did you pick up this puppy?
Do you know where there are any dogs around your town?" Su Wu turned his back to the big pig, exchanged a bowl of male blood soup and some medicinal materials from the simulator, threw them into the firewood pot, and boiled them with the Chinese medicine soup.
While cooking, he opened his mouth and talked to the big pig.
Da Zhi smelled the aroma that made his mouth water when he smelled the cauldron that was originally filled with the smell of medicine.
——He was full at lunch today,
But when I smelled this aroma, I suddenly felt hungry again.
Fortunately, he did not ignore Su Wu's question. He looked at the pot table that was higher than him and replied: "I know that Cui Taiyu's family has several big dogs, and they are all very fierce. Their family feeds the dogs meat every day!"
"Cui Daren?
Whose house is that?" Su Wu stirred the increasingly viscous medicinal soup in the firewood pot and asked the child.
Da Zhi's face darkened slightly: "He is my uncle from my family."
When he said this, Su Wu understood.
This family is the same landlord family that caused Da She's mother to lose her job.
"Apart from their home, can't we see dogs anywhere else?" Su Wu asked instead.
Hearing this, Da Zhi pondered for a while.
Suddenly he raised his head and said to Su Wu: "Yes! Mr. Wang also raised several big dogs - today I saw him taking the dogs to the street to sell them. I don't know if they were sold..."
"Where does Mr. Wang live?"
"On Niutou Mountain in the south of the town.
Do you want to ask him?" Dashe's eyes flashed with anticipation.
"Okay." Su Wu nodded, poured out the thick medicinal soup that had been simmered in the pot, let it cool, wiped his hands and said, "Do you know the way to the Wang Taiye's house?"
"I know you, I know you!" Dashu nodded repeatedly. After a moment, he said hesitantly, "The dogs in Mr. Wang's family are not sold at the price of dog meat. The asking price is relatively high.
I've seen him take his dog to the market several times.
But not a single dog was sold..."
"Oh?" Su Wu became interested and asked, "Is there any difference between his dog and other people's dogs?"
"The Wang Taiye's dog is very big! Very strong!" Da Zhi stretched out his arms and gestured.
He didn't speak very clearly,
Su Wu no longer forced it, and decided to go to Mr. Wang's house on Niutou Mountain to have a look in person.
After feeding some of the medicinal soup from the pot to the two animals and one puppy, he left the house with Da Pig and followed Da Pig's directions to Niutoushan.
…
"The weather seems to be getting warmer these days. Spring is coming soon, right?"
"It's not as cold as the past few days."
By a small stream less than fifty steps away from Xiangdi's house, Li Zhuer and Qingmiao squatted there holding a wooden basin, soaking the clothes in the basin one by one, washing them, and beating them.
The two of them were washing their clothes while talking about the recent temperature changes.
Qingmiao replied to Zhuer,
After a pause,
While she was wringing out the water from a piece of clothing and putting it back into the rinsed wooden basin, she asked hesitantly to Pearl: "Pearl, do you think it's because the weather has gotten warmer, or is it our own fault?
Now I feel like I won’t get cold even if I wear a thin shirt.
But the host's sister-in-law Xiangdi and her son were still wearing thick clothes.
Her son's nose is so cold today that his nose is running and his face is red."
After hearing what Senior Sister Qingmiao said,
Li Zhuer paused in washing clothes.
He tilted his head and thought about it, and said in an uncertain tone: "When I think about it, it seems to be true. I remember Master said that after passing through the treacherous barrier, there will be many benefits to people.
Maybe the benefit is that it makes us healthier,
Does it have more firepower?"
"Such a big piece of clothing,
I used to have to cooperate with other people to wring out the water.
Now I can do it easily." Qingmiao picked up Li Zhuer's washed clothes, and as she said, when she twisted them hard, the moisture in the clothes kept falling out.
Li Zhuer blinked her eyes,
She knew that her changes were not just about becoming stronger and healthier, but she never dared to say it outside.
I was afraid that my master would regard him as a trickster and kill me.
However, now I see Senior Sister Qingmiao also saying that there have been different changes in her body.
Pearl then realized that she was not an alien,
She whispered: "I am not only stronger physically -"
As she spoke, she opened her palms.??m
Suddenly a ball of dark flame surged in the palm of my hand,
Although the flame was pitch black, it exuded a scorching temperature.
Quickly cling to the clothes on the washboard,
After a while, the moisture in the clothes was completely dried - but the clothes were not burned even half!
"I recited the four mantras taught by Master before.
I saw a figure with black fire falling off from its body.
When I wake up again,
I have already come out of the treacherous barrier, and I am completely naked... I better wear the clothes Xiuxiu gave me, otherwise I will be really embarrassed..." Zhu'er confided to Senior Sister Qingmiao.
Qingmiao listened carefully,
Nodding from time to time,
After the junior sister told about the changes in her body, she worried again: "Should I tell Master about the changes in my body?
I told him, but I was afraid that he would not regard me as a disciple and would drive me away..."
"Master is very capable!
Even if you don't tell him, maybe he knows it and is waiting for you to take the initiative to confess to him.
but,
After all, this matter concerns you..." Qingmiao gave his opinion to his junior sister, "You might as well talk to your senior brother first. Now in the Zao team, senior brother means what he says.
Let’s talk to senior brother first and see what senior brother has to say.
What do you think?"
"I think Senior Sister's idea is a good one!" Zhu'er already had this tendency in her heart. After hearing what Senior Sister Qingmiao said, she immediately nodded her head.
The two coincide with each other.
Qingmiao pursed her lips and smiled,
Looking at the copper bracelet on Pearl’s hand,
lower your head,
The pads of his fingers inadvertently rubbed against the thimble on his thumb.
The two women each had their own concerns, so they seemed somewhat silent to each other.
After finishing washing the clothes, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
Each of them held a large wooden basin full of clothes.
He turned around and walked towards Xiangdi's courtyard.
on the way,
I met Xiangdi who was returning from somewhere else.
This woman, who was only in her twenties but looked like a forty-year-old woman, was carrying farm tools on her back and walked home in a somewhat dejected manner. Pearl called her several times before the other party reacted.
He turned around and reluctantly showed a smile to the two girls: "Leave the clothes, I will help the sisters wash them."
You are guests, come to stay at my house,
I'm really embarrassed to have to do these things..."
"What's there to be embarrassed about?
Our own clothes should be washed at home.
Sister-in-law, don't worry about it." Zhu'er noticed something was wrong with Xiangdi's expression, walked closer to her, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what happened?"
The peasant woman couldn't hide her thoughts on her face,
My eyes turned red when I heard this,
He gently rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand that was still stained with mud, and said with a cry: "Brother Cui's mother is seriously ill. I heard from others that she may not live for two days..."
Brother Cui?
Qingmiao and Zhuer looked at each other.
Both of them had heard Xiangdi talk about her past sadness.
Knowing that her husband’s surname is Cui,
So could this so-called ‘Brother Cui’ be a brother from her husband’s family?
Could it be that this 'brother Cui's biological mother' had a good relationship with her family in the past and had a lot of affection for each other, so she couldn't help but feel sad when she heard the news?
The light in Qingmiao's eyes flows,
After a moment's thought,
But I thought of something else.
Generally, when ordinary people get sick, there is a progression from mild to severe.
If she really had a good relationship with that 'Brother Cui's biological mother', they would have frequent contacts with each other, and they should have received news of the other party's illness long ago. Only if they were mentally prepared,
Why did I suddenly feel sad now?
"That Brother Cui,
Which family in the town is it? Since my sister-in-law is so sad, why don't you go and visit and express your feelings." Qingmiao said.
Xiangdi heard what Qingmiao said,
But he shook his head repeatedly,
He became even more sad: "Brother Cui is Cui Dashan in this town..."
If his mother died recently,
When the time comes, he will definitely send people to our homes with the same surname and clan one by one to collect a copy of the funeral rites!
I can't even hide,
Why would you take the initiative to deliver it to your door?"
Xiangdi said sadly: "When my parents-in-law passed away, my family had no money to organize funeral arrangements. Only a few close family members knew the news and sent funeral rites.
I didn't send any news to his home at that time, just because I was planning not to hold a funeral ceremony for his family in the future.
Who knew that his family had become increasingly wealthy in recent years?
Raised a group of thugs,
We will definitely not be able to escape then..."
Qingmiao, Zhu'er originally thought that 'brother Cui's biological mother' was an elder who was very close to sister-in-law Xiangdi.
But I didn't expect the story to be so bizarre.
There was some silence for a while.
now,
This is an era where one funeral can overwhelm a family.
"Sister-in-law, things haven't come to fruition yet, so don't cry.
If they really want to come and take it by force,
Let's just argue based on reason." Qingmiao comforted Xiangdi with a gentle voice.
Xiangdi was terrified inside, but she had no choice but to stop crying slowly, and walked home with her two daughters.
yard,
The big pig chased and played with several white, black or yellow puppies.
There were two big long-haired dogs gathered at the door of the woodshed.
Seeing the dogs in the yard, Xiangdi's eyes darkened again, and she felt as if the whole sky was about to collapse.
At this time,
Da Zhi saw his mother walking to the door,
Running bumpily to meet him,
Several puppies behind him followed merrily, wagging their tails.
