When Lao Zhang heard Yang Ruoqing's threatening words, he felt more like being struck by lightning.
He knelt on the ground, his head banging against the hard stone floor.
"Hero, my aunt, please, I beg you, this little old man only has a son, and he disguises himself as a woman to preserve this little bit of blood. Please be so noble as to not give him away, he is still a child..."
Yang Ruoqing continued to sneer, and her voice was as cold as her eyes: "It's ridiculous, I'm not related to you, why should I leave you a bloodline? Just because you have a few ringing heads? Naive!"
Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, raised his head casually, took a deep breath, "As long as I can keep my son, I will do whatever you ask me to do!"
Yang Ruoqing stood up again in front of him and looked at him with lowered eyes.
Lao Yang straightened his back and raised his head to bravely accept Yang Ruoqing's inspection.
After a moment, Yang Ruoqing spoke again: "Then I'll give you a chance!"
…
At night, Lao Zhang came to deliver food to Luo Fengtang again.
As usual, when he came out of the kitchen with the food and walked towards the hut where Luo Fengtang was imprisoned, he had to go through a round of interrogation on the way.
The interrogators were the female soldiers under the female general, who were responsible for checking whether any other meat that should not be included in the meals.
Because the rules of Nanshan Village are that men cannot eat meat other than fish, otherwise it will stimulate their bloodiness and masculinity, thus breeding the power to escape and the ambition to rebel.
"Sir, this is fish, these are two vegetarian dishes, and this is rice, please look carefully."
As always, Lao Zhang smiled and bowed to the interrogating female soldiers.
“What’s this in the cabbage?”
The female soldier asked, pointing to some finely chopped brown things in the cabbage.
"Is it meat?" she asked again.
Lao Zhang shook his head hurriedly, "How is that possible? This is a wild mountain fungus. I picked it from the back mountain when I had nothing to do. My dear, do you want to try it?"
The chopsticks were indeed handed to the female soldier. She wanted to taste it, but when she saw Lao Zhang's black fingernails, she immediately lost her appetite.
"go Go!"
She waved her hand to get out of the way, and Lao Zhang thanked him and stumbled into the hut with the tray.
Luo Fengtang already knew when Lao Zhang was stopped by the female soldiers for interrogation.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyebrows slightly closed. He opened his eyes the moment Lao Zhang entered the room, and his eyes were fixed on the food on Lao Zhang's tray.
His chest rose and fell slightly, as if something was being suppressed.
Lao Zhang closed the door and window, came to the bed, and put down the tray.
And he said to Luo Fengtang with a smile: "Young man, it's time to eat. I've cooked a bowl of food for you today. You must try it!"
Following Lao Zhang's gaze, Luo Fengtang saw the bowl of stir-fried wild mushrooms with cabbage.
It looked... unremarkable.
Unlike yesterday's mushrooms with five-pointed stars on them, which surprised him at first glance, the hint was obvious.
"Lao Zhang, do you have anything else to say to me?" Luo Fengtang asked Lao Zhang in a deep voice.
However, Lao Zhang glanced at the door of the house, and then deliberately loudly said to Luo Fengtang: "Young man, please eat more. The day after tomorrow is the wizard's birthday. The female general has given orders to send you there in the next two days to make a gift for the wizard first. , you have to eat and drink enough to behave well in front of the wizard and please her."
Luo Fengtang also looked at the door, frowning slightly.
There was no manpower arranged at this door a few days ago, but it only started today.
Maybe the female general felt uneasy after stopping his poison, so she set up extra personnel to keep an eye on him.
"Young man."
Lao Zhang suddenly whispered in Luo Fengtang's ear, and then thrust something into Luo Fengtang's hand.
Luo Fengtang noticed that Lao Zhang's thing was taken out from his crotch.
The thing was very small and wrapped in leaves. Lao Zhang himself uncovered the wrapping leaves before stuffing the thing into Luo Fengtang's hand.
Even so, Luo Fengtang's fingers were still stiff for a few seconds.
"I'm leaving first. Young Master, you have a good rest after eating."
Lao Zhang was also a little embarrassed, picked up his pants, turned around and walked out.
Although he had always been a little staggering and his legs and feet looked a little lame, this moment fell in Luo Fengtang's eyes, and he was particularly uncomfortable.
But at this moment, he couldn't think about whether Lao Zhang hid the things in the chrysanthemum or elsewhere. Luo Fengtang couldn't wait to lower his head and look at the things in his hands.
It was a thatch pole, about the length of a little finger. It looked ordinary from the outside. Luo Fengtang pinched the thatch pole open and spread it out flat.
There are only two words on the thatch pole, real small words as thick as mosquito legs, which is extremely difficult to read in the dim stone room.
But Luo Fengtang has recovered five powers, and naturally his eyesight has also recovered somewhat.
The thatched pole was brought in with such painstaking efforts, even at the expense of Lao Zhang's anus, but there were only two words.
But when these two words fell into Luo Fengtang's eyes, it was as if the thick clouds were dispersed by a fierce burst of sunlight. Although he was a prisoner in a dark and humid stone house with dripping water above his head, he seemed to see a clear sky. , heard the wind whistling from the forest, and he himself was about to spread his wings and soar like an eagle, reaching the sky.
Just because of those two words:
husband!
She is here, his Qing'er is here!
She actually climbed over the mountains, descended into this bottomless cliff, and entered this isolated village.
The promises made by many young people when they were deeply in love, to accompany you up the mountain of swords and into the sea of fire... really came true for him and Qing'er.
Luo Fengtang, who has cried no more than three times in his life, has never been weak even though he was poisoned and unable to move freely.
But at this moment, the simple words "Thin Mosquito Legs" on the thatch in front of him made his eye sockets heat up and his vision gradually blurred.
…
Just after finishing the bowl of stir-fried green vegetables and wild mushrooms, Luo Fengtang paused, suddenly put down his chopsticks, quickly sat cross-legged and meditated, and began to regulate his breathing.
This is no ordinary wild mountain fungus.
He had eaten wild mushrooms in the past few days, but after eating this wild mushroom today, his body immediately had a different reaction.
A stream of heat gathered in Dantian.
That feeling made him excited, and he felt that his power was increasing sharply...
After nearly three hours of exercising and adjusting his breath, Luo Fengtang slowly opened his eyes. His eyes had obviously changed compared to the previous days.
Become clear and spiritual.
He raised his palms to examine the lines in his hands, feeling faintly pleased.
Under the tonic of that special bowl of wild mushrooms, his body was like a half-dead tree, suddenly nourished by nutrients. Every muscle, every bone and every piece of flesh and blood in his body was sufficiently nourished, and he broke through in an instant. bottleneck.
Now, his skill has been restored to 70%.
Give him another day, and he is sure to restore his skill to 90%.
With 90% of his skills, even if he didn't need to awaken the power of Taizu's bloodline, he was sure to escape from this Nanshan Village.
