Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Encourage it!

Negative one thousand two hundred steps.

Lives to one thousand two hundred years.

What a powerful statement.

The light in the gauze bag seemed to be in a trance. Qi Wuhuo raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him. His chewing movements slowed down, and he frowned and said, "Isn't this old man joking?"

"According to legend, even Peng Zu only has eight hundred years of life, one thousand two hundred years?"

The old man spread his hands and said with a joking smile: "Who calls you this guy? I don't want this or that. The old man is worried, so he is naturally making a joke for you. , Haha...ah, don't be upset, kid, and keep my meat porridge!"

The old man wanted to joke a little, but he couldn't help but laugh when he saw this small town boy quickly taking away the old man's meat porridge! , called a few times, and then the young man put the meat porridge back to him.

Qi Wuhuo was usually silent, upright and upright, and it was only at this time that he could see the character of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. The old man stroked his beard and smiled.

From then on, the so-called good karma was no longer mentioned.

Qi Wuhuo lived far away from the town, but the news spread very quickly. The news that the Qi family's children brought back an old man from outside quickly spread to several nearby streets.

Some said that this was an elder from the same clan as him, some said that he was related to the family, and some said that Qi Wuzhuo coveted the old man's wealth, so he could support him. If you want to ask why, let's look at the purple robe he is wearing. , but for that outfit, there was nothing comparable in the entire town.

If not, how could Qi Wuhuo, the extremely poor and poor man, bring him back?

These gossips were passed around, but Qi Wuhuo ignored them, saying, "A gentleman is upright and blameless." Those people felt bored, and slowly this news was replaced by other people's "big news." The 'new talk material' was suppressed.

Small towns and villages, mostly like this.

On the next ten days, heavy snow fell, and the whole town became cleaner and cleaner, as if isolated from the world. The old man who called himself Li and took the nickname Fan was slowly brewing a pot of tea, while Qi Wuhuo was chopping firewood in the yard with an axe.

He didn't know why, but he just felt that his strength had grown stronger and stronger in the past ten days. Even a strong man could split a large bowl of firewood with two or three blows. In the past, it would have taken him five or six blows, but now it only took one. Just drop the ax.

The ax struck again, and the firewood was split with just a click. However, the ax continued to cut deeply into the ground, and the ax blade was embedded in it, making it impossible to pull it out for a while.

Qi Wuhuo was stunned.

The old man making tea suddenly said with a teasing smile: "Strength comes from one's own. I didn't expect that Wuhuo, you actually have some martial arts skills in the martial arts. Have you practiced any magical classics?"

Qi Wuhuo shook his head and said, "No."

He thought about it. Thinking about it, he leaned down and twirled the firewood, and said: "Maybe the firewood has been left out for too long and the wood has become loose, which is why it is so easy to chop."

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door. .

This cabin also has a small yard. The door was already dilapidated. Qi Wuhuo used wooden stakes to make a simple wooden door. It opened with just a push. Some rough people even kicked it open, but the visitor still knocked. Qi Wuhuo already had a rough idea of who was coming.

He put down the ax for chopping wood, straightened up his appearance a little, and hurried forward to open the door.

With a creaking sound, the wooden door opened. There was snow on the door. When it was opened, it fell to the ground. There were three old pines on the roadside outside the door, and there were people under the pines.

Qi Wuhuo raised his eyes and saw that it was the gentleman wearing a green robe. The robe was thick but not cumbersome. On one side was a woman wearing a white double-breasted embroidered peony coat with a large bowl of peony. She was holding a green bamboo umbrella to protect herself from the wind and snow. , the men and women have elegant temperament, which is incompatible with this small town.

From the outside, they saw a huge difference between him and the poor young man in a brown short robe, with only a straw rope tied up his hair to prevent it from being unkempt.

Qi Wuhuo slightly cupped his hands and said in a calm tone:

"I don't know if Mr. and Mrs. Su are visiting,

but please come in."

Su Shengyuan stretched out his hand to stop and said with a smile: "No, no, it will snow heavily. I will accompany my wife to go home to visit our relatives." , We have to go to the next city tonight, there is still a long way to go, so we won't go in."

Qi Wuhuo raised his eyes slightly, and then saw a few hundred steps away from this remote alley on the side of the road. On the road, a green carriage pulled by two horses could be faintly seen. There seemed to be a fiery red figure on it, opening the curtain of the carriage and looking this way.

When he saw Qi Wuhuo, he shook his hands happily.

Su Shengyuan glanced at his wife and coughed slightly.

The elegant woman rolled her eyes at her husband, then took the initiative to hand over a package in her arms, straightened the collar of Qi Wuzhuo a little, and said in a broad and gentle voice: "It's freezing in the winter, don't let it freeze. There are two bags inside." A pair of cotton clothes and a pair of thin needle-eye thick-soled shoes are suitable for you to wear in these three months."

"Don't refuse."

Qi Wuhuo was stunned and said, "How does this make..."

Su Shengyuan raised his hand with a smile. I know you have an upright character, but don't you hear that "it's a gift from the elders that you can't refuse"? Okay, okay, Wuhu, your master's kindness is good, so don't refuse anymore."

Fu breathed out another breath and asked: "These days, heavy snow and deep winter, no lectures are given. How have you mastered the things you have learned in the past few years? How about I ask you a few questions?"

Immediately after the young man nodded, he asked.

Qi Wuhuo answered them one by one.

Su Shengyuan stroked his beard for a long time and sighed: "Okay, okay."

He stretched out his hand and patted Qi Wuhuo's shoulder hard, and said: "For the spring examination after March, I will recommend you. With your talent, I will be a leader." Fight and dominate, and within three years, his reputation will spread among the states and counties. "

" Encourage it, encourage it!"

Qi Wuhuo seemed to hear the disdainful sneer of the old man in the yard.

But for some reason, Su Shengyuan didn't seem to hear it.

After chatting for a while, Su Shengyuan encouraged Qi Wuhuo a lot, and then left at the secret urging of his wife.

Returning to the carriage, I was still filled with emotion.

Even his wife was a little shocked by her husband's performance and said: "That child... is really so talented?"

Su Shengyuan sighed: "More than that, he is simply a person who is born with knowledge! Every time he speaks, there is something amazing about him. , I have been traveling around Kyushu for more than 30 years, and I may have more knowledge than him, but I have never seen anyone more talented than him."

After thinking about it, he looked to one side.

There is a girl who is thirteen years old, with her tail feathers hanging down, and is dressed in red. She is playing with a small mechanism in her hand. She is the daughter of the Su family. She is loved by the family. Her clothes are all made of firefox fur, with cuffs and collars. Turned over, the white down is exposed, which makes her eyebrows even more cute. I think in a few years, she will be very beautiful.

Su Shengyuan muttered:

"Yue'er, do you remember Qi Wuhuo?"

The girl smiled and said: "Remember, that guy is always upright, like bamboo, and is always the first one to come, father. Of course you remember the one you said was very talented."

Su Shengyuan pondered and suddenly said,

"What if you get engaged to Wuhuo in three years?"
