Chapter 9 Two Senior Brothers

The door is open, and the sun shines on the dining table. There are two large pottery basins in the center of the table. One basin is filled with gruel, and the other is filled with meat pieces. There is a small bowl next to it with many bird eggs in it.

Wang was a little absent-minded and seemed to have no appetite. She watched the little black cat that Wang Li brought back rubbing against her feet, calling out "meow" while rubbing it. Then she put down her chopsticks and said softly: "Li

Brother, this cat eats so fast, do you think it’s not full?”

"Mom, the kitten shouldn't be overfed. It may be crying because you broke some eggs into pieces for it to eat. Now it's acting coquettishly and getting close to you."

Wang Li opened his mouth and swallowed a mouthful of rabbit meat. As he spoke, he glanced at the corner of the dining table. There was a palm-sized pottery bowl. Previously, his mother filled the bowl with half a bowl of warm porridge for the black cat. Now,

It has bottomed out.

When the meal started, the mother was afraid that the little one would be stunted, so she wanted to cut some minced meat into it while the rabbit meat was being stewed. Later, Wang Li said that the kitten should not eat meat for the time being, so she boiled and broke the few eggs left in his bag.

Crushed and mixed in the porridge.

This little guy ate it all so quickly, he has a really good appetite.

Of course, it could also be because the person he killed had not been fed today.

When he thought of this, Wang Li discovered that in just four days, he had killed three unlucky people, and they all took the initiative to provoke him.

It's just a rural town, but people are so evil, and the world is really not peaceful.

I have to meet the cousins ​​later, and I don’t know what they want from me.

Could it be that the people who asked them to inquire about his father had some clues?

But it doesn't seem to be the case. If there is any news about my father, they will also tell their mother when they come over.

Thinking about it in his mind, Wang Li kept moving his hands, quickly adding pieces of rabbit meat and stuffing it into his mouth. When cooking, Wang first went to his grandfather to ask him what flavor he liked, but found that his grandfather didn't.

At home, I asked my neighbors and found out that my grandpa had been picked up by his second uncle.

My mother felt a little sad at that time, which was why she was not in the mood to eat.

She had been collecting firewood in the backyard of her home all morning, and her second uncle didn't even say hello to her when she picked up her grandfather. What was even more sad was that her grandfather didn't even notify her.

Grandpa was not the only son of Wang Li's father. He got married earlier than Wang Li's father and became the son-in-law of a wealthy family in a village not far from Wuyuan Village.

Wang Li only met his second uncle once when his father and his grandfather separated when he was five years old. His mother once asked someone to send a message to his second uncle asking for help in finding out about his father, but there was no reply.

Wang Li knew why his second uncle and his grandfather left without saying goodbye.

Ever since his father defrauded his grandpa of his capital and disappeared, the old man has never given himself or his mother a good look. He has been banging on doors for seven years. No matter how hard his mother works to be a filial daughter-in-law, she can't compare to his own son in the eyes of the old man.

.

The night before yesterday, my mother handed over five taels of silver to my grandfather, and only one day later he was picked up. The old man must have sent a letter to ask for someone to come.

As for the second uncle, the identity of the visiting son-in-law is just that. Wang Li's predecessor had seen this kind of thing often, and his mother would understand it in a few days.

I hope that the old man and his second uncle can be kind to father and filial son in the future.

"Um?"

Wang Li was hanging a rabbit's leg on the basin with chopsticks, and found that the kitten had climbed along his trouser leg to the bench where he was sitting. After standing firm, he tried to stand up, and rushed forward unsteadily with one paw.

Wang Li scratched the arm holding the chopsticks, and kept sniffing with his little nose.

"Aim~Aim~"

Mrs. Wang smiled: "Haha, Brother Li, let's give it a piece and try it. I think its teeth are all grown, so it should be fine eating cooked meat."

Wang Li nodded slightly, but his tone changed and he said: "But the salt content of this meat is too much for it. The hunter who gave it to me said that cats cannot eat real food that is heavy in salt."

After saying that, he picked up the kitten with one hand, grabbed a small spoon with the other hand, poured half a spoonful of gruel and stood up.

"If there is a fish caught in the net at night, let's get two for it."

As he spoke, Wang Li poured the porridge into the little guy's food bowl, then turned back and grabbed three eggs, peeled them, crushed them and threw them in.

"Miaowu~"

The little guy stared at Wang Li and screamed, then buried his head in his food bowl for a while.

Wang Li curled his lips, this little thing seemed to really want to eat meat.

After lunch, his mother did not let Wang Li help clean up the kitchen, so he moved outside the house for a while and then returned to the bedroom to practice Qigong and meditate.

The qi energy in his body was still unable to be activated after circulating in the body for a week. Wang Li was not discouraged. He closed his eyes and continued to practice according to the diagram. Time passed by unconsciously...

Two hours later, my mother, Mrs. Wang, shouted outside the house and said she was visiting a neighbor's house.

Wang Li responded, and then he was immersed in cultivation again. About an hour later, he woke up with a frown and opened his eyes.

Wang Li originally wanted to meditate like this until the afternoon classes in the thatched cottage ended, but just now he felt an inexplicable irritability, forced himself into meditation, and immediately felt mentally exhausted.

"From this point of view, three hours is the limit of my current daily practice. Although the time is not long, the energy in my body has finally grown stronger."

"By the way, how did Uncle Zhang practice? He was able to get started so quickly. Could it be that he is a one-of-a-kind genius?"

Wang Li secretly wondered and got out of bed. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the black cat squatting on the stool at the door of his bedroom. If he listened carefully, he could hear purring.

After taking a look at the cat nest he had made for it, Wang Li ignored it, grabbed the rug on the wall, opened the door and stepped out, putting his bamboo basket on his back at the door and closing the door.

There are several air vents in the kitchen that allow the cat to run out. If the little thing is still there when he comes back, then it is part of the family.

~~~~~~~~

In a pavilion in the thatched cottage, Qin Hong and Wu Yu sat on a mat with their eyes closed. There was a table in front of them, and a silver incense burner on the table was emitting smoke.

After a while, Wu Yu's eyelids twitched, a look of dejection appeared on her face, and she glanced at Qin Hong without wanting to speak. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes again.

But after just two breaths, he opened his eyes again, sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Cousin, I can't hold on any longer."

Wu Yu shouted in frustration, reached out and took out a small green-skinned gourd from his waist, unscrewed the stopper and poured it into his mouth. It looked like he was drinking water.

After Wu Yu put down the gourd, he exhaled a breath, shook his head, and fell down, feeling comfortable all over.

Qin Hong, who was sitting aside, still closed his eyes and remained silent. He seemed completely unaware of Wu Yu's reaction.

After half an hour, Qin Hong slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of fatigue on his face.

"Uncle Wu said that I have excellent qualifications, but after a few hours, I only have a slight understanding of the Xiao Qingxu Song Jue, but physical training is difficult to get started."

Qin Hong finished speaking slowly, with a very regretful tone. He glanced at Wu Yu who was collapsed next to him. He couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Cousin, Uncle Wu said that your qualifications are still above mine, why don't you use them like this?

achievement?"

Wu Yu waved his hands repeatedly and said feebly: "Cousin, it's not that I don't work hard, it's that I really can't decide to persevere."

Qin Hong turned his eyes and glanced at the incense burner on the stage. There was a hint of helplessness on his face, and he said seriously: "We specially lit the calming incense to assist in our practice so that we can persevere until now. Without this calming incense, we can only go into silence at most."

Two hours."

"You must know that the road to spiritual practice is slow one step at a time! Why did I say what I said in front of Uncle Wu in the morning, and now I can't stop thinking!"

When Wu Yu heard that the tone was wrong, he immediately sat up, lowered his head and said, "I know I was wrong."

After he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes, looked around, and asked in a low voice: "Cousin, do you think Wang Li's practice is going well?"

"Uncle Lin should still be in town now. You don't have to be so careful about what you say."

After Qin Hong finished speaking, his face became solemn and he added: "Besides, it is other people's business to practice. What you should be concerned about now is how to focus on your own practice."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes showed a thoughtful look, "Brother Li only obtained the introductory mental method two days earlier than us. He relied entirely on himself, and no one provided him with training resources. When we looked for him in the morning, we heard that he was there

If you seek advice from Orion, you should still be looking for ways to source your own cultivation resources."

"If you don't talk about anything else, just talk about comprehending Xiao Qingxu's Song Jue. With the same qualifications, without the help of the calming incense, he can only be in silence for an hour before being unable to continue."

Wu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the gourd and drank some more water, and said: "That's okay, let's rest for a while and then continue practicing!"

Qin Hong nodded slightly and was about to speak when he suddenly looked outside the pavilion.

A guard stepped forward and said, "Sir, Wang Li is here."

Wu Yu grinned and said with a smile: "As soon as I mentioned him, people came!"

Outside the thatched cottage.

Wang Li stood quietly against the wall by the door as usual, and the bamboo basket was also placed at the same place at the door. After a while, his ears moved, and he faintly heard subtle footsteps coming towards the door. He concentrated on distinguishing it, and he heard it was

The footsteps of two people.

They must be the cousins.

After making some small gains from practicing today, Wang Li found that his ears seemed to have become more sensitive.

When the others approached, Wang Li smiled, and he heard it right.

"Brother Li!"

Qin Hong opened the door and said hello with a smile, and Wu Yu then smiled and nodded at him.

"I heard that the two gentlemen came to see me for something this morning?"

Wang Li smiled and asked straight to the point.

"It's something, and it's a happy event."

The smile on Qin Hong's face grew brighter and he said: "Let's not talk about it for now. I'm very curious. Brother Li is about the same age as our brothers. Why does he always address me as son? We have known each other for more than half a year.

Still so raw?"

Wang Li spread his hands, pointed at both sides, and replied: "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority. The two of you are young masters from distinguished families in the state and county. I am just a peasant boy."

"I should be more respectful to you two."

Qin Hong and Wu Yu looked at each other and said, "It's my fault for asking so many times. I thought Brother Li looked down on our brothers. From now on we can be like brothers."

Wang Li's expression moved slightly: "I see, congratulations to both of you for getting this opportunity."

Qin Hong nodded, his expression completely relaxed, and said: "Brother Li, you haven't started practicing yet. The sect's mental method is to cultivate both life and life. Building the foundation and forging the body requires fine food, flesh and blood. We all know the situation in your family, and we are all friends.

, we are fellow disciples from now on, so we should keep watch and help each other."

"We, the two senior brothers, don't dare to say anything big about what will happen after we get started, but the current cultivation resources can actually help our junior brother."

Wang Li felt funny in his heart. Why did these two people become his senior brothers as they talked about it?

How could he be so sure that he had not practiced yet?
