Young People

Chapter 62 Young People

With Xue Baoping's help, it was not particularly difficult to carry Zeng Jianqiu back.

The straw shop in the woodshed has been evacuated. Xue Baoping didn't want to take out the straw again, so she had to put Zeng Jianqiu on her bed. Li Wuxiang grabbed his feet and thought breathlessly: "Let's put it in the woodshed. He will definitely not care. Putting it in your place would be too deliberate."

"What...deliberately?"

Li Wuxiang slowly walked in the door and let go of his hand next to the firewood pile: "You will know tomorrow."

After putting Zeng Jianqiu away, Li Wuxiang went out and found the two town soldiers guarding under the willow tree, and told them to go back to Chen's house to call some people to clean up the kitchen. More than a quarter of an hour later, Chen Xin came with a few people. He went into the courtyard by himself. When he saw Li Wuxiang, he bent his knees and bowed down. Li Wuxiang waited until his knees touched the ground before lifting him up and sighed: "Old man Chen, why do you have to do this?"

Chen Xin bowed and clasped his hands in front of his chest: "My old eyesight is dim. I thought you, Master Immortal, were a child of the Li family. I was really offended..."

Li Wuxiang smiled and said, "I've given my identity to myself when I'm away from home. How can I blame you? To be honest, I am indeed a cultivator. This time I came from the mountains to gain experience. When I passed by here, I felt something was wrong. ——”

He turned around and pointed at Xue Baoping: "When I saw her again, I felt that she was just like my sister, so I stopped and taught her something. Do you still remember the three members of the Wang family?"

"Ah... remember."

"She wanted to bully her that night and asked me to get rid of her. Don't be offended by this."

Chen Xin immediately shook his head: "They also have a foreign surname, but they are different from the Xue family. The Xue family are good people, and we in Jinshui accepted them well. The Wang family, alas, it's all things I can't explain in the years before I came here. I don't like them either. I want tiger bones from them just to force them to leave. The immortal master is here to get rid of the evil in the town!"

Li Wuxiang laughed: "Then you still have to thank me?"

"Thank you, thank you!" Chen Xin's eyes turned red, "Is this not the only thing I want to thank you for? This time, when I was at the gate of the courtyard during the day, I really couldn't be the mayor of the town. I'm sorry to the folks, I have no vision and worshiped Zhao Qi, a scourge. I heard about the Ranshan sect before..."

"Ah, the Ranshan sect is good. Zhao Qi and Zhao Pup originally came to the Ranshan gate temporarily. I can't blame you. I didn't have to look for an opportunity to take action."

"Yes... I mean, Immortal Master, those words you said today are really, oh, you don't even say thank you for your kindness. Whatever the Immortal Master wants in the future, I will spend all my money to pay for it!"

"Okay." Li Wuxiang grabbed his shoulders and straightened his back, "I'm not Zhao Qi. I don't want anything. You don't need to treat me like this. It's nice to have dinner and drink tea together. . But your master needs something for his injury - help me clean up the kitchen and turn it into a room. He will stay in the town for a few more days."

Chen Xin looked into the room and hesitated for a while: "He..."

"I remember that you are here. It was not convenient to recognize each other before. I will ask you to come and see him when he is healed. Now he needs to rest and I have to heal him."

"Okay, let's do it now!"

It only took half an hour to dismantle everything in the kitchen, and various household items were delivered like water - a bed, which looked like it was originally used by the Chen family, but was now dismantled. There were also various bits and pieces of pots, pans, tables, chairs and benches, a change of clothes, and some money hidden away. Li Wuxiang directed them to place the bed in the kitchen room, and by the time they put the things away, another three-quarters of an hour had passed.

When Chen Xin left, he gave a lot of warnings and sighed and said that his master lived in the newly cleaned kitchen, but Master Li Xian, you have no place to be clean. Do you want to clean up the house next to it? Li Wuxiang coaxed him a few words, Sent away.

When the footsteps outside the door faded away, he lay comfortably on the bed in the kitchen for a while, tried on the quilt again, took another bed and walked to the woodshed to see Zeng Jianqiu. He asked Xue Baoping to pick up some fine firewood branches and spread them on a layer, then spread a layer of straw on them, and then put on the quilt. After putting him up, open his eyelids, check his pulse, and listen to his heartbeat.

Based on his experience, if Zeng Jianqiu is regarded as an ordinary person, his body is actually barely healthy. Li Wuxiang guessed that it might be due to the exhaustion of his youth and longevity, which also involved the energy in his body, causing him to faint. .

So I took Xue Baoping and sat at the door of his new house to try all kinds of food newly sent by the Chen family.

When Zeng Jianqiu woke up, the sky was already bright. He opened his eyes suddenly and immediately touched his arm, feeling that the small sword in his sleeve was still there. Then he quickly looked around to push himself up. But his elbows bent weakly and fell back onto the bunk, so he could only get up slowly on his side.

His ears were ringing and he could almost hear the blood flow and heartbeat. After he leaned against the wall and took a few breaths, his ears gradually became quiet, and then he could vaguely distinguish other sounds - the chirping of birds, the rustle of leaves in the wind, the crunching of bowls and chopsticks, and vague chatter and laughter.

He took a breath, looked at the woodshed again, walked slowly to the door, stretched out his hand and pushed it gently.

With a creak, the door opened but was not locked. Zeng Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, and finally let out the anger he was holding.

He walked into the yard and saw the Xue family's main house. The door was open, and Li Wuxiang and Xue Baoping were eating.

He stood there and watched quietly for a while - what he saw were two beautiful young people with smooth skin and bright eyes. The sunlight shining on them was so bright that it seemed to be dazzling. His movements are brisk and agile, and his face is always smiling, as if he has never had anything to worry about, and he will never age, as if this is the embodiment of youth.

A thought suddenly jumped in his mind... He shouldn't be in this state of mind. But this thought quickly dissipated like a ball of dust carried by the wind. Zeng Jianqiu slowly breathed out again and felt the pain in his body. My wrists, ankles, face, shoulders, and lower back are all swelling and painful. He had heard of this kind of pain before - when an injury caused a disease, or when a person reached old age and had a hidden disease caused by work. These things had nothing to do with the former young and prosperous Taiyi Dao Swordsman, but now he realized that they seemed to be coming to him.

He sighed, took another sharp breath, and strode over: "Why didn't you call me for dinner? You woke me up from hunger!"

Li Wuxiang leaned back, glanced into the yard from inside the door, laughed, and pointed to the empty bowls and chopsticks on the table: "We kept them for you. Try the new ones your apprentice brought this morning. Well, after dinner later, I will tell you about Guangchanzi, but I don’t know how your memory is."
