The body was swaying gently, the wild duck's "quacking" came from not far away, and the reeds were swaying in the wind.
Xihe slowly opened her eyes, and the pain hit her instantly. The pain made her tremble all over. She laughed out loud, but she didn't die... She looked around. It was a simple awning boat. The door was covered with a piece of cloth, and it was bright. Leaked in through the cracks.
"Come out when you wake up." A rough voice suddenly sounded, inexplicably familiar.
Xihe frowned slightly, held his hands under his body, covered his chest and bent down to lift the curtain, his vision brightened.
The sky is blue, the lake surface is sparkling under the sun, a few wild ducks are swimming in the lake in groups, the golden reeds are swaying in the wind, an old man in a raincoat is fishing on the bow of the boat, and two fish are jumping in the fish cage at his feet Son.
The old man suddenly turned his head and grinned at her: "My dear grandson, long time no see."
The old woman still looks the same, with her gray hair casually tied on top of her head, and her half-squinted eyes smiling as if she is watching something funny.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at you now. I would have told you to take me with you. If I were here, maybe for my sake, Shaoheng's good grandson would not abandon you. It's so miserable now~"
Xihe slowly moved over, sat down in front of her, and looked at the long sky in the distance: "I didn't expect that you saved me."
The old woman nodded repeatedly: "Yes, who else but me! My dear grandson, are you particularly touched? Then quickly kowtow and acknowledge me as your grandma. From now on, after I die, all my property will be yours."
Xihe chuckled lightly and closed his eyes against the breeze: "I'm afraid you won't dare to answer if I shout."
The breeze brought the fragrance of rice, and the smoke from the villages in the distance curled up. She had a slight smile on her lips, her face was peaceful, and she seemed to be in a very safe place.
The old woman narrowed her eyes, and suddenly the fishing rod sank. She perked up and pulled it upwards, and a lively crucian carp jumped out of the water.
"Hey, we can have a full fish feast tonight!"
-
At night, there was only a small oil lamp left on the awning boat, and the stars in the sky were reflected on the lake, and the wind was blowing.
Xihe leaned against the boat, pain and cold invaded her, her body trembled unconsciously, and her face turned pale.
The old woman was wrapped in a thick cloak and said without sincerity: "My dear grandson, please bear with me. When grandma comes to the city tomorrow, I will buy you a quilt to ensure that you will sleep warmly in the future."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and started snoring regardless of his image. His snoring was like thunder.
Gouzi: "How about I steal one?"
Xihe: "...No need"
She closed her eyes, tried her best to ignore the discomfort, and slowly operated the magic formula... The spiritual power circulated in her body, gathered in her Dantian, and then quickly dissipated.
Xihe sighed invisibly. Without Shaoheng's heart, she could practice cultivation, but this body's constitution was too poor. After the spiritual power entered the tendons and dantian, it was like leaking and could not be stored at all. She could only repair her reluctantly. The damage left from the exertion that day.
'Falled leaves gather and disperse, jackdaws roost and startle again',
It is also rare to have the best qualifications (Tianlinggen) and the worst physique (Jackdaw leaking wind body).
Very few people can recognize this kind of physique now, and it is equally difficult to detect without practicing. Everyone just thinks that this person is extremely talented. The original owner accidentally dug up Shaoheng's Dantian and tendons in his previous life and forcibly replaced them. He now possesses an unparalleled talent and embarks on the path of spiritual practice.
But she does not intend to follow the old path of the original owner, and the path of cultivation will naturally be more difficult, but she will not give up easily.
Xihe calmed down and continued to gather spiritual power bit by bit, slowly repairing the broken body at the injured area - although the old woman saved her life, she was not completely cured.
-
The next day, when the sun rose, the old woman stretched herself and stood up: "Let's go, I'll take you to the city!"
After getting off the boat and passing by the nearest village, the old woman went in to change into white flour pancakes and steamed buns. She gnawed on the white flour pancakes and said, "I am old and can only eat this kind of soft food. You are young and have good teeth, so just eat this." ha."
Xihe took it expressionlessly, as if biting on a hard rock, so she simply put it down and stopped eating.
"Ah, why do you dislike me? This is not good, it's too spoiled. My sweet grandson might be scared away by you like this. You have to learn to endure hardship. No, this is not hardship, this is experience. "
He kept mumbling, his mouth never stopped, and when he saw that she was walking slowly, he kept urging her.
"Go faster. At this speed, we won't be able to enter the city even after dark. You will have to freeze again tonight."
"My sweet grandson used to carry you wherever he went, but now no one carries you on his back."
"Do you regret it..."
Entering the county town at noon, the old woman looked around happily and wanted to touch everything she saw.
Her hands were dark and dirty. Just when she wanted to touch the prices, the hawker drove her away like a beggar: "Go away, can you afford to pay for it if it's dirty?"
"Bah, you are such a piece of rubbish. I don't care about this old lady!" The vendor was so angry that he wanted to hit her, but the old woman ran away quickly with her little feet. "My dear grandson, let's go. Grandma will take you to eat something delicious." of!"
Happily taking Xihe into a brothel?
Xihe stood still at the door. When the old woman realized that no one was following her, she turned around and hurriedly pulled her: "Come on, the food here is delicious, and there are also singing and dancing. I guarantee you will like it!"
He called the bartender at the door and helped her into the building.
Xihe: "..."
While dining on the second floor, plates of chicken, duck and fish were served, and the old woman greeted Xihe while eating.
Xihe moved her chopsticks casually a few times and looked downstairs. She didn't know what realm the old woman had taken her to, but practitioners could be seen everywhere in the streets of the small county town. The singers dancing downstairs all had cultivators. For being in the body.
She lowered her eyes and picked up the wine glass to drink, her eyes meaning nothing.
Halfway through the meal, the old woman called the waiter for more wine, but no one answered her call for a long time. She was so angry that she slammed the table: "These people don't take me seriously! My dear grandson, you continue to eat, I will hurry you up." A reminder."
The old woman rolled up her sleeves and pushed the door aggressively, but was suddenly stopped by Xihe.
"You will come back, right?" She raised her eyes, her dark eyes bottomless.
The old woman was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand: "Of course! I'll be back as soon as I find the wine. My dear grandson, just wait patiently!"
"Then go ahead." Xihe looked away, "It won't take too long."
"okay!"
Xihe ate leisurely, one stick of incense, half an hour... The door opened, and the Madam came in with two turtle men. He looked her up and down, and was very satisfied: "It is indeed top quality!"
With a chuckle, the cup in Xihe's hand burst instantly. Then next time we meet, I will be embarrassed, Qingle.
The madam had seen many people like her, so she waved her hand and said, "Take her down and teach her a lesson. Don't get dirty."
The joy on Mr. Turtle's face disappeared, and he said without much enthusiasm: "Yes."
