Chapter 17 Wealth Comes and Goes
Coming out of the pharmacy, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy sent his smiling face to the door, but Liu Heng's face was almost black.
"Ten years of mountain ginseng two catties, poisonous blood bee winter honey three catties, purple snake water ten drops, Qianzhou safflower half a catty...... "The medicinal materials bought are very miscellaneous, but they are all expensive, half of them are tonics, most of them are poisons, fortunately the toxicity is not high, otherwise the pharmacy will not dare to sell it, and this old ghost is quite disgusted, "Sure enough, it is a small place, many things can't be bought, lay the foundation, barely enough for ten days." ”
Touching his waist pocket, Liu Heng's heart was dripping blood, "Sixty-one taels of gold, six hundred and ten taels of silver, just bought such a little thing!"
"Left?" said the old ghost, surprised, as if pondering.
After another half an hour, Liu Heng used the last eleven taels of gold in exchange for the smiling face of the butcher shop owner, the big bones of pigs, cows, horses, and beef, which were sent to the new house every morning for half a month, and three tiger bones were taken away, and not a single copper plate was left.
I wanted to take care of Dazui's father's business, but I thought that Dazui was punished for being beaten by himself, and Dazui's father had always been extremely kind to him, if he said that he would go shopping, he wouldn't ask for money at all, so much money and goods made Dazui's father buy it, where would Liu Heng go.
"If it weren't for the fact that there was still some firewood in the house, there would be no money to burn so many boiled things. Liu Heng only had an ironic mood left.
"Don't be weird, if you want to gamble, you have to be trustworthy. The old ghost said slowly, "Besides, I earned all this money, and I have the final say on how to spend it, and it is all used on you, what do you feel sorry for?"
"But ......" Liu Heng was speechless for a while, and finally said angrily: "According to your usage, there is no money again, what should I do in half a month?"
"That's a problem. After pondering, the old ghost said with a smile: "The rich man Zheng still sent me nine thousand taels of silver, just find him to settle accounts when the time comes." ”
"It's easy to say, he's not stupid, and he can make up for you if he makes up his mind?"
"You'll know when the time comes. "The old ghost seems to have a lot of money in his chest.
When he returned home, in the face of the porridge brought by Uncle He, Liu Heng couldn't help feeling guilty in his heart, the family had no income, but he spent money like running water, and the thousand taels of silver in the morning were all gone in the afternoon.
The old ghost was vaguely angry, "Be content, eat your porridge!"
"If you have any more money, you must leave some for Uncle He. Liu Heng secretly discussed with the old ghost, and said persistently: "Uncle He is drinking porridge every day, and I eat meat every day, how can I eat it?"
"What do you know?" the old ghost snorted coldly, and did not speak again.
said hello to Uncle He, saying that he was going out to play with a big mouth, and Liu Heng went to the new house.
Open the stove to boil water, put in all kinds of medicinal materials, and saw that the water finally became black, thinking that this pot was full of poison, Liu Heng was a little frightened.
"It's poisonous and can't kill people, what are you afraid of!" the old ghost said.
added the boiling potion to the big wooden barrel and began to bathe, only to enter the bucket only to feel that the water temperature was very hot, and subconsciously wanted to shrink his feet, but when he thought that the old ghost would probably sneer, Liu Heng gritted his teeth and sat in.
"Who let you sit?"
The old ghost still shouted, "Squat inside!"
It's the first time I've heard of it, but since I have made a bet, I have to listen to the old ghost, so Liu Heng can only sink his face and do it.
After a while, the skin was all burned red, and the whole body was itchy, it was estimated that the toxicity in the soup was entering the body, and the old ghost didn't let him move, and Liu Heng felt more and more itchy and uncomfortable.
After only a few minutes, the pores all over my body seemed to be pricked by needles, and the stinging pain was fine and dense, and I didn't even feel the itch. Then the muscles and flesh twitched involuntarily everywhere, like countless caterpillars wriggling under the skin, and Liu Heng himself was terrified when he saw it.
Eventually, even the bones began to ache, one after another, as if the bones had been eaten empty, which was extremely weird.
"Are you sure this soup poison is really poisonous and immortal?"
Liu Heng didn't know how he persevered, but he felt as if he had entered a prison cell and "enjoyed" all the ten tortures, and when the old ghost let him out, the whole person was about to be tossed and collapsed.
"Poison doesn't kill people, play dead people!"
The old ghost said solemnly: "There is nothing in the world that comes from nothing, if you want to really practice martial arts, you have to endure it!"
Liu Heng was silent for a moment, didn't complain anymore, and forced himself to get up and listen to the old ghost's instructions, and went to the courtyard to pose strangely.
"The so-called martial arts, practice muscles and bones on the outside, and practice a breath on the inside, I will pass on your actions now, plus the secret recipe, which is used to practice muscles and muscles, which can be described as the foundation of the foundation, you have to practice well. ”
First he took four pieces of firewood and put them on the dirt floor, and supported him with his hands and feet. For this action alone, Liu Heng tried more than ten times, and fell all over the mud before he barely mastered the trick and held it tremblingly.
In just half a minute, he had already found that the muscles and muscles of his whole body were not only stiff, but in order to support himself by holding down four pieces of firewood without falling to the ground, his strength had to be adjusted at any time, and the frequency was very fast, and he was more tired than after practicing for a day in the previous two days.
Slightly careless, his left hand was too heavy, and the firewood turned over the dirt and fell down again.
Maybe it was those strange poisonous soups that worked, Liu Heng actually found that he had a lot of energy today, and after a little rest, he had strength again.
Keep tossing!
It's just hard to get along with himself, but fortunately, he has a good understanding, although he doesn't imagine himself as a bow as the old ghost said, and his strength collapses, but when he sees the spider on the web under the eaves, he has his own understanding.
It is more difficult for spiders to walk on the web than they are now, and the little creatures have their power, and they ...... It's easy!
It's easy, it's like it's instinctive!
Liu Heng closed his eyes, slowly bent his hands and feet slightly, his body seemed to be heavy, and he trembled from trembling to gradually stabilizing for a long time.
It's done!
"You're tricky, cutting corners!" the old ghost was furious, "It's strength that is practiced, and the second is skill! Change the wood, the top is wide and the bottom is pointed, and it is tied to the feet!"
After changing the wood, it was more difficult, and Liu Heng could no longer find the original feeling. The things that support the body are almost four points, and the strength is more difficult to grasp, and if you want to keep it from falling, you need to constantly adjust, and the muscles and muscles of the body will change back to the original state.
Gradually, Liu Heng vaguely realized what the old ghost said, but instead of turning into a bow, the muscles and flesh of his body became countless bows. Follow your own mind, some tense up and some loosen, and cooperate with each other to complete those most subtle adjustments.
This experience is very amazing, just like the first time I feel that my body is made of so many subtle things, complex and exquisite, if you cooperate skillfully, you can make amazing skills like the brothers and sisters of the martial arts troupe!
"Let's go!"
Walk?
Only then did he grab the firewood in his left hand and try to lift it, but the center of gravity of his body shifted slightly, and his head couldn't stop rushing to the ground, and he almost twisted his foot when he smashed it.
I tried little by little, and it took half an hour to move two steps, but my body had no strength at all, and I lay on the ground in winter, but I didn't feel cold at all, and my body was sweating like a steamer in a bun shop, steaming.
"Go to the hot water!"
Today I only practiced for less than an hour, more tired than the previous two days combined, this time it was all tonics, soaked in hot water, comfortable I didn't want to move, and then I don't remember how to go home.
When he woke up the next day, his body began to see the outline of his muscles, which made Liu Heng quite surprised, "It's so effective?"
After eating breakfast indiscriminately, I went into the new house, took all kinds of big bones and beef from the butcher shop, put them in a pot to boil, squatted in the poisonous soup and finished my steps, and returned to the yard to continue tossing!
When I was tired, I went to the kitchen to drink two large bowls of hot bone broth, ate a few pieces of beef, recovered faster with all my strength, practiced for two hours, and returned to the tonic soup when I was exhausted for the second time, and rested while drinking bone broth.
When he went out near noon, he arrived at the head of the martial arts troupe, and was ordered to continue squatting, but no one paid attention to him. But today, the little junior sister Wang Yuyin and the third senior brother Qian Liuzhen, one fell into the money basin, the other miscalculated, and were punished to squat with Liu Heng, and the three of them secretly chatted for the first time.
"Little junior brother, look at the gold you used for apprenticeship, the family is quite rich, right?" Qian Liuzhen was really happy and asked curiously.
"After the apprenticeship ceremony, the family has no money. Liu Heng replied with a wry smile, to tell the truth, remembering that yesterday's wealth came and went quickly, he was still very depressed.
"Can't you?"
Wang Yuyin blinked his eyes, full of disbelief, "They are all senior brothers, there is no need to lie to us, right? How can ordinary people use gold, what does your family do? Do you become a big official or do business?"
These words reminded Liu Heng of the holy decree again, and his tone faded, "It's really a civilian." ”
Qian Liuzhen and Wang Yuyin looked at each other and stopped talking.
After Liu Heng left in the afternoon, Qian Liuzhen and Wang Yuyin told Qin Changwu about the matter, but Qin Changwu didn't say anything, but his face seemed a little disappointed.
"I'll just say, Jin Zi looks scareful, but looking at his dress, he is not as well dressed as us, where does he look like a child of a rich and noble family?" Qin Yihe was even more disdainful.
Senior brother Lin Haoyun said something rarely, "It seems that he can endure hardships, but his temperament is like a martial arts practice." ”
Qin Yihe glared at him, "Can you practice martial arts without money? If you don't have money to worship us, who will teach him his real skills? You teach, I don't teach!"
