I became an old man in my leisure time

Gu Ke paused and didn't look back: "There's no need. We're not in a hurry. Maybe Miss Qin will turn five at the beginning of next month. At that time, Hei Gui will have no choice but to let you two join forces, right?"

Bai Suqing chuckled and said no more.

Since he can bear it, she will not instigate him. The fact is that her strength has not stagnated and is improving rapidly every day.

With each passing day, searching the valley becomes less dangerous, so there is no need to rush.

Stones suitable for stone grinding were found. After Gu Ke tied them up with straw ropes, he was dragged back home by Bai Suqing.

When we got home, it was already dark again.

Gu Ke lamented that the days were short in winter, and it was estimated that Xiao Man would be back soon, so he decisively decided not to go to the workshop today.

His laziness made Miss Qin and the four girls over there, Mei Lan, Zhu Ju, very miserable.

I wanted to thank him for the bathtub he sent me today, but unexpectedly, this product suddenly disappeared today after working hard for three days.

However, Xiaoman has already asked about the effect of the bathtub. Obviously Gu Ke is not completely unconcerned, so we will talk about it tomorrow.

Here, Gu Ke and the two waited until Xiao Man came back, urged the little girl to wash her hands and face, and then sat at the dinner table before talking about the bathtub.

After hearing about Bing Xin's powerful effects, Gu Ke looked at Bai Suqing more than once.

Bai Suqing felt very uncomfortable when he looked at her and glared back: "Look at what I'm doing. It's not like I don't have a bathtub. My concentration effect is no better than Bing Xin's."

Gu Ke sighed regretfully: "Wuzong..."

I won’t say anything else later.

If Bai Suqing could figure it out and share the bathtub with others, he wouldn't need to say anything.

But if you can’t come despite force, forget it.

At most, if you have time, you can make a few more bathtubs. As long as they are smaller and faster, you might be able to produce the Ice Heart feature again.

If it has no special characteristics, just keep it as a water vat, rice vat, or flour vat. We are in short supply of these things at home.

…

The next day, Gu Ke finished his work in the fields and had lunch before going to the workshop with Xiao Man, carrying large bundles of gray thatch, maidenhair vines, and pine branches on his back.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the main hall wall, he was seen by Juqin who was squatting on the stone platform.

She is the liveliest among the four girls and is often ordered to do things by the two elder sisters, Mei Shu and Zhu Qi.

Firstly, it is to increase her ability to handle affairs, and secondly, it is to sharpen her temperament.

Mei Shu and Zhu Qi also came here like this when they were young.

Zhuqi was famous among the maids at that time for her "strong ability to act". She gradually lost her impatience and became able to do things neatly and securely.

In a sense, the Juqin is the "Little Bamboo Chess" and the Orchid Painting is the "Little Plum Book".

Juqin, who had not lost her childishness at this moment, rushed over with a whoosh, and quickly pulled up her skirt as a courtesy.

While she was about to take the two bundles of materials he was carrying, she started to mutter: "Brother Gu ran so fast the day before yesterday and didn't come yesterday. Is he afraid that we would blame you? Don't worry, it's not too late for us to thank you."

Gu Ke didn't mind her grabbing things, but that wasn't what she was supposed to get.

"Sister Ju, please take down the stones outside." He raised his finger and pointed to the outside of the wall, where there was a large pile of stones for stone grinding that Bai Suqing took the time to throw over.

When Ju Qin came over with the hundreds of kilograms of stones, Gu Ke followed her and walked inside: "Sister Ju, what are you saying? If you can escape the first grade of junior high school, how can you escape the fifteenth grade? I worked hard for three days and had some free time yesterday. That’s all, it makes sense.”

This was what he said to Ju Qin. If it were Mei Lanzhu, she would have to apologize to him immediately.

Of course, those three would not talk to him in such a complaining tone.

However, she is outspoken and cheerful, and Juqin, who is young and lively, looks a little like the girl from her previous life.

Occasionally teasing Menzi with her is a kind of pastime.

After getting along with him for many days, Juqin also knew that Gu Ke didn't care about many rules and etiquette, and he would feel more comfortable if his attitude was more casual.

When Mei, Lanzhu and the three girls were away, she became less tense.

Hearing his answer, she changed back to the topic: "The effect of your bathtub is really magical..."

Speaking of this, she lowered her voice and glanced around her subconsciously: "...The eldest lady has been spending the past two days, and her strength has increased again."

Somehow, Gu Ke's thoughts took an inexplicable turn and blurted out: "Ah, she didn't peel off her skin, did she?"

Juqin:? ? ?

Fortunately, this was Juqin, and his words only made her stare for a moment, and then... she pretended not to hear him: "So the eldest lady wants to invite you to come and sit down, um, it's a must."

Gu Ke coughed lightly and nodded as if he had never said what he just said: "Okay, just sit down and sit down."

While talking, the three of them arrived at the north workshop and saw Miss Qin sitting upright.

Gu Ke casually held his hands in greeting and consciously sat down opposite her.

Miss Qin was used to it. When she saw him sitting down, she stood up, raised her hands to her eyebrows, and bowed solemnly: "Thank you, Brother Gu, for the gift of the treasure."

I didn’t even call out to Lao Gu, so this was a more formal thank you.

Gu Ke knew that he couldn't run away, so he didn't dodge. He accepted the gift and raised his hand to support her: "Okay, Sister Qin, I accept this gift. Just remember the favor. Come, sit down and tell us how you feel. ”

Miss Qin didn't show any pretense, she stood up and sat down again, pouring him a cup of hot tea with her own hands: "Lao Gu, the ice bath has helped me a lot, maybe far more than you think."

Gu Ke took the hot tea from her, took a sip, and asked curiously: "So powerful? Tell me."

Miss Qin was impressed when she saw that he was not in a hurry even though he was shocked, so she immediately told him in detail.

It turns out that Bing Xin's Liyang Sutra had an unexpectedly good effect on her.

On Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju, it only repairs the wounds, replenishes the foundation, and speeds up the cultivation. But for her, it can suppress the heart fire and eliminate the hidden danger of blood burning the body.

The blood of the scorching sun cultivated by the scorching sun scripture is extremely dry, which is why it is extremely lethal to strange creatures and monsters.

But this is a double-edged sword. The practitioner must also bear the risk of agitated heart fire and blood burning the body.

Once it is out of control, it will be seriously injured at the least, and suddenly die at the worst.

In the secret book of the scorching sun sect, there are not one or two records of blood burning the body causing disability or death, but hundreds.

This is because the scorching sun scripture belongs to the core martial arts, and there are only 10 to 20 disciples in each generation who are taught. Otherwise, it would not be a matter of one or two deaths every few years.

This risk will only be greater for a woman like Miss Qin.

But after entering the bathtub the day before yesterday and gaining the blessing of the ice heart state, she found that the heart fire was quickly suppressed.

Half of the characteristics of the scorching sun blood come from the natural extreme hardness and yang, and the other half is related to the heart fire.

Heart fire is not really fire in the heart, but a kind of mental stimulation and catalysis of blood and qi, making it run faster and more powerful.

Imperceptibly, the personality of people who practice the Lieyang Sutra will be affected, and they will appear to have a bad temper.

The state of ice heart will suppress and eliminate this mental agitation, and reduce the speed of practicing the Lieyang Sutra.

But at the same time, it can make people understand their own blood and qi state and speed up the practice.

(Lao Bing's heart rate often exceeds 100 these two days, and I feel flustered. I must go to the hospital.

If the update is delayed, please forgive me.)
