State of Zheng, Qingfeng Mansion.
Qingmu County.
Li Zhai.
The night was deep.
On the third watch, Satu pinched the biological clock, rubbed his sleepy eyes, rolled up from the adobe bed, touched the black and put on a coat, went to the stables outside, lit the lights and began to mix the horses.
The smell of hay and beans was mixed with the sound of chicken eggs being broken. Half of the black horses in the stables gave a cheerful snort and arched the rough cloth short clothes of Gongwei Tu.
"When will the horse feeding work end? I'm still a modern man..."
"It's hard to get ahead."
Sitting on the bluestone outside the stables, Wei Tu took out a dry tobacco pole from his waist, stuffed some dried tobacco leaves into the brass smoke pot, lit it with fire paper and puffed at it.
With two streams of smoke coming out of his nostrils, he leaned comfortably against the dirt wall, his eyes half narrowed.
In modern times, he doesn't smoke or drink, let alone the dry cigarettes smoked by the older generation, because he has strict control at home since childhood.
But now he likes to smoke.
None.
This thing can relieve fatigue.
After smoking, most of the tiredness can be dissipated.
After waiting for a while, Wei Tu saw that the black horse had finished eating the food, he knocked the cigarette stick a few times towards the soft satin shoes on the bottom of his feet, and then patted the dust on his buttocks, ready to wash and sleep.
Horses grow fat all night long.
The horse in Li Mansion had to get up on the third watch to feed it once, so he dared not sleep to death before.
If the good horses are abandoned, they will definitely be killed by Master Li.
A bucket of sweet and cool well water was drawn from the well. Wei Tu took a few sips and filled his stomach. Then he lifted the bucket and poured it on his shirtless body, enjoying the coolness seeping into his tail.
Soon, strips of dirt rubbed off his body and fell to the ground.
"I'm so old? I'm only seventeen years old, and I look like a young man in his thirties."
When Ge Cus washed his legs, in the yellow mud water of the wooden basin, Wei Tu borrowed the light of the stable to see his face clearly at the moment.
With a dark face, many wrinkles on the forehead that people of the same age should not have, and white hair on the temples, it looks very old.
Only through those clear black and white eyes can we barely see that he is a teenager.
However, just then——
The face in the basin has changed again, and Wei Tu's appearance has become a little older. He has really become an old man with chicken skin and white hair from his youth.
See this scene.
Wei Tu was so frightened that he stepped back a few steps. After a long time, he touched his face and pulled up his wet hair that hung down to his shoulder. It was still black, so he was relieved.
"Am I wrong?"
Wei Tu was suspicious. He renewed a basin of water and looked at the water.
The scene on the water was exactly the same as what he looked like at the moment.
But after a break, as before, his face changed again.
The old man with chicken skin and hair similar to his appearance reappeared.
This time, Satu was not intimidated, but carefully observed his "unusual" in the water.
After a few breaths.
The water ripples.
The golden and purple light appeared in the middle of the old man's eyebrows.
At the same time, Satu's eyebrows began to shine.
A golden seal engraved in the sun with the title of "late master" suddenly appears in my mind.
"A late bloomer?"
Wei Tu was stunned.
When he was young, he liked to read some fairy tales.
Know that traditional culture has a destiny.
Destiny determines a person's life, whether he is rich or expensive, poor or cheap.
And the life grid that appeared in his mind at the moment was golden and purple, which was undoubtedly the legendary upper life grid.
It is a pity, however, that this life style is "a late bloomer", which does not seem to improve his poor situation.
It seems that he has sensed the idea of Wei Tu, and the golden seal shines brightly, turning into two lines of writing and floating in his mind.
"Destiny: late bloomers."
"Attribute: Perseverance will lead to success."
"Perseverance will lead to success..."
Satu twitched at the corners of his mouth.
"There must be success" is too mysterious, and when he is 70 or 80 years old, it will be useless to "achieve great things later".
When he was old, his teeth fell out, and even if he sang praises again, he could not even eat meat into his stomach.
Not to mention the noise and lust.
"Since there is a life case, then... is there a legendary immortal? He will live forever. He will swim to the North Sea in the morning and die in the evening."
Satu was secretly excited.
If the world can cultivate immortals, his destiny of "late success" will not be a chicken rib, but a treasure.
"Although there is no immortal in Qingfeng Mansion, there are martial artists who open a school to accept disciples and cultivate martial arts......"
"When they were young, these martial artists were brave and ruthless. Once they were old, their hidden wounds would appear, and they would die suddenly. Few people lived to the age of sixty..."
"However, the martial arts secrets are not all martial arts, nor are they lack of health preserving skills, which can prolong life."
"It's not brave to practice health preserving skills. There are many people who can prolong their life to 70 or 80 years old. The book records that Miaoying Immortal has practiced health preserving skills and lived to more than 100 years old."
When Wei Tu thought of this, he made up his mind to find a chance to practice health preserving skills first, and then he went to the immortal's cave to worship his teacher and pray for immortals.
With the blessing of "late success", as long as he perseveres in practicing health preserving skills, the health preserving skills will play their due role in his later years.
Long life.
The possibility of his seeking immortality will increase.
As for the fighting method of martial arts, the world is peaceful at present, and it is not useful. Of course, if given the opportunity, Satu will also be willing to learn.
There were three reasons why he didn't practise martial arts before, besides being poor in literature and rich in martial arts.
On the one hand, martial arts are difficult. Without corresponding roots and bones, it is difficult to achieve.
The reason for practicing health preserving skill is that it is easy to learn and the threshold is not high.
In both cases, the strength of martial arts is limited. People who practice martial arts can praise one side's strong martial arts when they reach ten enemies.
A hundred enemies and a thousand enemies are legendary figures.
Third, most of the martial artists are idle people who do not work hard and are hard to die.
Most of the martial artists in Qingfeng Mansion are swordsmen. Armed with Hengshan swords from Hengshan Town, they dismount to become farmers and mount to become bandits.
"Go to find the second aunt first tomorrow. The second aunt is Lord Huang's doghouse, and Huang's house employs a martial artist as a yard guard. Maybe there is health preserving skill at home..."
Back on the kang, Wei Tu was surprised to find the golden finger. After several times of tossing and turning, he finally fell asleep because of fatigue.
morning.
The day dawned.
Wei Tu got up to feed his horse and picked up the broom to clean the courtyard of Li's house.
When the master is about to get up,
He went to the kitchen to help the cook cook.
It is his daily job to feed horses and help the yard.
Fifteen years ago, six years ago, his father, Wei Bao, sold him to Li's house as a servant and a tenant slave.
But fortunately, after years of hard work, Wei Tu learned horse raising skills from old Liu Tou, a horse servant, and succeeded in becoming a horse servant of Li Zhaixin.
As for Liu Tou, he died of old age years ago.
It seems that both the tenant slave and the horse servant are servants, but the former is hard and tired, and has no wages. The master is dead.
As a skilled worker, the horse waiter is paid monthly and works with the master.
It's just that the food is a little poor.
The master eats meat, while Wei Tu eats soup and water with meat.
