Chapter 10 Good Days
The two were so tired that they were sweating profusely, and the severe pain in their bodies began to reappear. However, despite this, neither of them complained about being tired. Instead, they were very happy.

The two didn't go home until sunset. At this time, Mrs. Xu had already prepared dinner and herbal meals for the two of them.

In order to nourish the bodies of the two children, Xu gritted her teeth and killed the only laying hen in the family. The two children could already smell the fragrance of the chicken when they were still at the gate of the yard, which made them very hungry!

The two couldn't wait to run into the house, and saw Xu holding a pot of medicinal chicken, the aroma was fragrant!
Liu He had been immune to meat in his previous life, but his stomach in this life was indeed a bit miserable. He had long forgotten what chicken tasted like. Not to mention Zhang Yong, who had probably only eaten it twice in his life.

Liu Qian and Xu only touched one or two pieces of chicken and stopped eating, which made Liu He feel very emotional. His parents in this life were really good to him.

"I can't just take care of myself. Now that I have a certain foundation, I should also make life better for my family."

Liu He thought for a moment and then made a decision.

After dinner, Liu He walked into the yard and saw Liu Qian chopping firewood.

"Father, the herbs my ancestors gave me are not just these. There are many more in the mountain stream. I will pick some more tomorrow and you can take them to the county town to exchange for some necessities for life."

Liu Qian waved his hand and refused.

"Don't worry, my son. Since these herbs were given to you by our ancestors, you should enjoy them well and become a talent as soon as possible. As for your daily needs, your father will take care of them."

Looking at his father's forced smile, Liu He felt sad.

"Father, my great-grandfather told me in a dream that if I and Yongzi want to grow stronger, in addition to taking these herbs as supplements, we also need to eat more meat every day. I want to use these herbs to exchange for some grain and meat, so that our bodies can keep up with heavier training."

After hearing what Liu He said, Liu Qian's attitude changed immediately.

"Yes, that does make sense. Since our ancestors have ordered this, I will go with you tomorrow and bring back more."

When Liu He heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly.

"That's not necessary. Father is busy with his own business. Yongzi and I have grown up. There is no need to trouble father with such a small matter. We can go and pick them by ourselves. Although it is a wilderness with few people, our ancestors have driven away the wild animals. It will be safe for the two of us to go there."

Liu Qian looked at his son and felt very relieved. He nodded and just told him to be careful.

The father and son were chatting when Xu's call came from inside the house.It turned out that she had prepared the hot water medicine bath.

The two kids jumped into the barrel and immediately felt extremely comfortable.

"Haha, it's really comfortable. I'm afraid that the lives of those wealthy families may not be so good. Sir, let's increase the intensity of training tomorrow. Ergou can handle it!"

Zhang Yong patted the sore muscles on his body and spoke happily.

Liu He looked at the foolishly smiling Zhang Yong and felt a little amused in his heart.

As a modern person, I have enjoyed baths, saunas, and steam baths a lot, so I don’t think this is anything strange. But for Zhang Yong, this is a rare thing.

"Yongzi, you can't be impatient about this matter. You have to proceed step by step to achieve the best results. Otherwise, it will be harmful."

Zhang Yong turned around and looked at Liu He with a puzzled expression. "Eh? What sword are you looking for? Sir, did you lose a precious sword and want to find it? Just tell Ergou. Ergou will definitely find it for you even if he has to dig up the whole mountain behind! How big is that sword?"

Looking at Zhang Yong's serious expression, Liu He slapped his forehead and was speechless for a moment.

"Um... not the big sword... where did you come up with that word? It's really... advanced. What I meant was gradual progress, which means that you can't be too hasty in doing things. You have to be down-to-earth and do it one step at a time. The same principle applies to both doing things and being a person."

Zhang Yong looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and looked at Liu He with admiration, which made Liu He couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body.

"Oh, Master, you really know a lot. Come, tell Ergou more about me so that he can also gain more knowledge and serve you better in the future."

Seeing Zhang Yong's sincere desire for knowledge, Liu He did not hesitate to give Zhang Yong some education during the more than half an hour of bathing.

After taking a bath, they rinsed their bodies again, emptied the medicine in the bucket by themselves, cleaned themselves, and then went to bed.

Although the potion in this wooden barrel is quite heavy, it is easy for the two children to lift it.

Liu He went back to his room and lay down. After a while, when he was about to fall asleep, the emotionless voice of the system rang out, almost making Liu He get irritated.

"Hint: After the host taught Zhang Yong a lesson, Zhang Yong returned to his bed to think about it and gained some insights. His intelligence increased by 1 point."

"Haha, this kid looks silly, but he's actually quite smart. Not bad, not bad, a promising talent. It seems like we need to change the direction of his training. He can't just be a fierce general, but a wise and brave general!"

Liu He fell into a deep sleep in this relieved and happy mood.

The next morning, Liu He hurriedly took Zhang Yong up the mountain. They picked all the herbs, including those for today's medicinal food and medicinal baths, as well as those to be sold. He also picked an extra ginseng and gave it to Zhang Yong, asking him to take it home to give to his parents and his sister Zhang Erni as a tonic. Zhang Yong almost knelt down to express his gratitude.

After Liu Qian got the herbs, he carefully wrapped them in a piece of rag and hurried to the county town. These herbs were specially selected by Liu He. They were common species with low value and would not attract the covetousness of others.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the two children got up early and went to the back mountain to exercise as usual.

"Sir, today is the day we agreed to meet with Young Master Zhu. Tell me, can I really beat him?"

Liu He patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you are sure to win this competition! Would I lie to you?"

These ten days were the most luxurious days for his family in terms of food. The porridge for the two meals a day was so thick that chopsticks could stand up in it, and he also had meat for three meals. This would have been absolutely unimaginable in the past!

Coupled with the nourishment of medicated food and medicinal baths, Liu He and Zhang Yong's physical fitness has improved significantly compared to ten days ago, so Liu He can be so confident.

Zhang Yong's martial arts power has reached 40 points, and he has gained another 25 points. If he can win today, it can be regarded as a double happiness.

Seeing how confident he was, Zhang Yong's nervous mood eased a lot.

Just at this moment, a loud voice came.

"Hahaha, here comes the young master! Ergou, just wait and kowtow to me and admit defeat!"
