Chapter 17 Business
In the next two days, the second uncle did not come back, so the female corpse and I were free. During the day, she sat at the door and basked in the sun, becoming more and more like a normal girl. I practiced the sword-fighting technique in the yard.
It can be regarded as a mastery.
But this is only tangible. As mentioned in the previous part of the manuscript, the power of swordsmanship also needs to be matched with internal energy.
Regarding internal energy, there is "Qi" in Yanxia martial arts and "Qi" in Taoism. From a broad perspective, there is no difference between the two, because martial arts is based on Tao, but when broken down, there are still certain differences.
Martial arts practice follows Taoist personality thought, focusing on the physical and "mind" training, while Taoism focuses on life and "cultivating inner elixirs".
Of course, this difference does not depend on the school, but on the fact that many things in Taoism are too "profound" and cannot be touched. Later generations cannot touch them, so they can only adapt to them.
Martial arts is a modified system, so that some Taoist sects no longer pursue illusory things, but instead value martial arts. Entry-level disciples have to learn martial arts for several years. Based on this, before embarking on the journey
Yin and Yang are on the same path.
There are techniques for cultivating inner alchemy in Lou Guan Secret Technique, but no one has taught me about it, so I can’t understand the principle. And even if I could understand it, I would still be faced with the choice of being pragmatic and entering the Tao through martial arts, or pursuing the pursuit
The seemingly empty inner alchemy?
I need to think carefully about this.
In the afternoon, my mother came to the door. Xiaohong was so frightened that she ran upstairs quickly like a frightened bird.
Xiaohong is the name I gave the female corpse because I asked several times and she was always hesitant and unwilling to tell me. I felt awkward calling her the female corpse. When I saw her wearing a red dress, I called her Xiaohong.
It's a temporary code name.
After being exposed to the sun for a few days, Xiaohong was like a calf lacking in calcium and became less stupid. From the moment she heard my mother's voice to when she came in, she hid in her room.
I had an affair with her, so of course I wouldn't tell anyone about her.
My mother didn't say anything when she came. It was just about my studies. She told me to work hard at home and get into a good high school.
If my mother hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten about self-study. But what I'm worried about now is not studying, but the fact that the female corpse will be revenged in a few days.
I dealt with it a few words and sent my mother away.
In the evening, the second uncle drove his aunt back on his motorcycle. Not long after they arrived home, the family members of Liu Bao and Zhao Zhijie also came to the door, as if they had inquired about each other, within a few minutes.
Only a week has passed, and Liu Bao and Zhao Zhijie's parents have aged by more than ten years. They are not looking for trouble, but they have collected some money. The two families together have about fifty or sixty thousand, and they begged their second uncle for help.
Find their son.
Fifty thousand yuan is a huge sum of money in the countryside. The second uncle's small foreign-style house cost only eighty or ninety thousand yuan, but the second uncle didn't raise his eyebrows and roughly drove Liu Bao and Zhao Zhijie's family out.
I felt like my second uncle knew the whereabouts of Liu Bao and Zhao Zhijie. Even Xiaohong didn't dare to touch the things in the pool. I was also afraid that something would happen to my second uncle, so I didn't say much.
After driving the people out, the second uncle took his beloved old buffalo to eat grass.
Speaking of the second uncle’s buffalo, it was no ordinary buffalo, it was a bullfight. Ever since he inherited his grandfather’s mantle, the second uncle has been doing nothing but raising buffaloes.
The big buffalo usually eats grass and batter, and from time to time he secretly beats eggs in it. My aunt thought I had eaten the eggs secretly, and she asked me several times, but I never told her.
Eat well, the big buffalo looks like a small tank, and there is a thick callus on its forehead. Every June 24th, the Yi family’s Torch Festival, there is a bullfighting competition at the celebration, and my second uncle will go to participate and win.
Several championships.
The big buffalo instantly became a treasure. Lin Shi had a boss who came all the way and offered a high price of 100,000 yuan, but his second uncle was not willing to sell it.
That big buffalo is my second uncle's life.
As soon as my second uncle left the house, I ran back to the room, opened the coffin lid a crack, and she was lying on her back like the first time I saw her, winking at me mischievously.
I counted on my fingers, and there were still three days before her enemies would come to her door, and she didn't know anything yet, so stupid.
I squatted beside the coffin and asked, "Do you have any enemies?"
Xiaohong thought for a while, nodded and said, "There seem to be a few, I can't remember exactly!"
When I heard this, I almost fainted. Why is she so heartless? I can't even remember how many enemies she has.
After thinking about it, I still told her what happened that day, but I concealed the fact that my second uncle wanted to throw her out.
Xiaohong listened and said "oh" indifferently.
She was not in a hurry, but I was extremely anxious. I scolded her, then comforted her by taking out the Lou Guan Sword, gesturing twice and saying, "But you don't have to be afraid. I have already practiced martial arts and will protect you when the time comes."
!”
"Lin Chu, you are so amazing!"
That's not the case!
When he praised me, my nose almost went up to the sky.
When the second uncle came back from grazing the cattle, after dinner, someone came to the house to invite him. In the past, I would follow him when he went out, but now I am afraid that the second uncle will call me to go, and the female corpse will be alone at home without a companion.
Fortunately, after my swimming accident at school, my second uncle stopped taking me with me. He was probably worried that evil things would wash over me and my yang energy was weak, so it would be easy for me to see dirty things at funerals.
He didn't take me there, but I was secretly happy.
But for some reason, my second uncle always takes his aunt with him when he goes out and won't let her stay at home.
As soon as the couple left, Xiaohong and I were the only ones left at home. I felt happy and went upstairs to ask Xiaohong to come down and play with me.
But when I got to the stairs, someone was knocking on the door. I thought it was my mother coming to watch me review my homework again, and I felt very unhappy.
Finally, when the door was opened, it was Chen Ou who came with a backpack on his back. He said with a smile: "Little brother, I was going to entertain you the day before yesterday, but I ended up having an unpleasant incident... No, my brother came to your door in person to apologize to you.
coming!"
Chen Ou is very handsome. I have said this many times, but I still want to say it now, but he... seems to have the wrong skin, his eyes and expression are very vulgar, and he gives the impression that he has evil intentions.
It's just that he said a few words carelessly, and he came with a basket full of things. Even if we wanted to drive him away, we had to let him keep his things and talk.
Chen Ou is only a year or two older than me, but he is very experienced in dealing with people. He specially brought a barbecue grill, some meat skewers and chicken tenders.
I went upstairs to get charcoal, and the two of us started grilling in the yard.
When the first plate came out, I didn't let him eat it. I took a small bowl, filled it full, and offered it to Xiao Hong.
Like me, it was her first time to eat barbecue!
Chen Ou was suspicious, but I lied to him that I was saving a late night snack, so he didn't say anything.
After eating for a while, Chen Ou started to ask me about the female corpse again, and advised me to throw it away as soon as possible to avoid any trouble in the future.
He said this again and again, and it didn't sound like nonsense, but when asked carefully, he couldn't give a reason.
It was a hot summer day, and there was a charcoal fire in front of him, but Chen Ou started shaking after sitting for a while. He rubbed his hands and stood up and said, "Brother Lin Chu, why is there always a cold wind blowing in this position? How about we change places?"
Location?"
I saw that his face was pale with cold, and it didn't look like he was cheating, so I changed places with him.
As a result, he was still shaking when he was sitting in my seat. Seeing him like this, I understood in my heart.
After eating a few pieces of chicken tenders, Chen Ou couldn't stand it any longer. Besides, he was also a member of the Taoist sect, so he vaguely knew what was going on. He stood up and said, "Brother, I'm afraid your brother has offended someone, and I want to ask you to help me."
Say some nice words! I am a sharp-tongued person with a sharp mouth and a soft heart! There is nothing wrong with me!"
Realizing that something was wrong, Chen Ou also got scared, but then he said: "Brother, I have something else to ask you for help this time!"
Cannibals are short-tongued and I can't refuse, so I let him talk about it. Chen Ou chuckled and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just about the spiritual baby. Originally, I had discussed it with the family of the female corpse, and I would give them a sum afterwards.
Money, but yesterday their family called me and said that there was some unrest at home. Isn’t this... your brother and I are also a kind person, so I can’t just ignore it, don’t you think so?”
I didn't answer, and Chen Ou smiled awkwardly and said: "Actually, the problem is not big, it's just a trivial matter. If you are willing to help, I will give you a thousand yuan afterward. What do you think?"
He has friends like Li Shuiruo and Shang Hao. It's such a trivial matter, why do you need me?
But I heard that there was a reward of 1,000 yuan, so I hesitated. People in rural areas have a hard time making money. When my second uncle goes out for a trip, he only gets 100 yuan or 200 at most. People die every day, so it will take several days to get 1,000 yuan.
In fact, I was not greedy for the thousand yuan, but wanted to save some money. Although the dress of the female corpse was gorgeous, she had not changed into new clothes since arriving at our house, and there were no clothes at home for her to change into.
If I have money, I can buy her new clothes!
Thinking of this, I nodded and agreed.
Chen Ou shrank his neck and didn't dare to talk nonsense. He put a few chicken tenders on the grill and said as he went out: "Then I'll call you tomorrow morning. The journey is not far anyway."
After sending Chen Ou away, I finished eating the meat on the grill and it was getting dark. After washing up, I went back to the room. Xiaohong came out of the coffin and pitifully asked me if I could take her with me.
Except for our family, no one knows Xiaohong, so it’s okay to take her with me. But remembering that her enemies are coming soon, I don’t want her to run around.
Seeing my refusal, Xiaohong felt a little sad and told me that I wouldn't go either!
I looked at her slightly wrinkled red dress and firmly told her she must go.
Xiaohong didn't dare to talk back to me, but after listening to my words, she was worried all night. At dawn the next day, she took out a sachet from the red coffin and asked me to take it with me. She also told me not to
Take it off.
The scent of the sachet was the same as her body fragrance, so it felt a bit strange for a boy to wear it, but seeing how kind-hearted she was, I reluctantly hung it around my neck.
