I became an old man in my leisure time

Time is always the best medicine to smooth out all pains.

After being busy for a while, everything will fade away.

But no one knows how long this process will take.

Perhaps, that guy will have a way? Bai Suqing couldn't help but glance at the east bedroom.

When she woke up, Gu Ke woke up almost at the same time.

On days without other entertainment, daily life will automatically bring everyone's biological clock closer.

This time, he lay in bed all night peacefully. He didn't have back pain again, but he was not in a good mood.

What happened in Xiao Ping'er's family was both unexpected and reasonable. It was just one of the countless bloody cases caused by strange things and demons.

Gu Ke got up, dressed, and went to the small hut to sign in. He received 10 basic reward points, 30 additional reward points, 30 soul sources, 3 Tianfu Tongbao, and Jingtao Qianxue Palm (middle-grade martial arts).

In the past, he would be very happy to have such a harvest, but today he just glanced and threw it behind his mind.

The tragedy of Xiao Ping'er's family turned the rumors in this world into a real reality.

The difference between the two is like the difference between watching news reports in the previous life, saying what big things happened somewhere, and seeing it with your own eyes.

Thinking about it now, Gu Ke was shocked to realize that Xiongjia Village was really lucky that time.

If he hadn't gone to Xiongjia Village to set up a stall, Xiong Laodi and his son would have died first.

The ghost-faced sunflower monster would still rush into the village, and it would probably be a tragedy that the whole village would be killed.

The system is not omnipotent, and the strange monsters will not stop eating people because of its existence.

However, Gu Ke alone can't save many people.

With those improved seeds, if they are spread on a large scale, the threshold for practicing martial arts will be greatly reduced.

In the past, people with poor talent who could only hover in the first round at most can enter the second round by eating exotic food for more than ten years.

People with good talent may be able to start the third round if they work hard to eat for decades.

The second-round warriors are no longer helpless against strange monsters, and the third-round martial arts masters are enough to fight against most strange monsters.

As long as the overall strength of mankind is enhanced, the survival rate will increase, and it will not be so easy for strange monsters and demons to do whatever they want.

Gu Ke, who traveled through time, knew very well that the masses were the real source of power.

Mobilize the masses, believe in the masses, come from the masses, and go to the masses, they can burst out with amazing power.

Of course, they need someone to guide them if they want to exert their greatest power.

Shennong, this vest, and the transaction contract are undoubtedly "seeds".

Boss Lang has proved with his actions that people can do more than a single person can do under the premise of mutual trust and unity.

Even if someone wants to turn against each other for profit three years later, they should consider whether Shennong will show up again and slap the guys who kill each other to death.

Human nature is indeed greedy, and there are always people who take risks and harm others for their own benefit, but it is better to have fewer people.

Gu Ke is just one person, and his main body cannot leave Yulong Valley, so he will use the convenience of the system as much as possible to provide help to the people of this world.

The task of resisting strange monsters and demons still depends on them to complete it.

While thinking, he had finished washing and sat alone on the edge of the stone platform, looking at the thriving bean sprouts below.

Spring has begun, hope has been planted and sprouted, and people should have a bright future.

He heard footsteps behind him, and he stood up to see that Bai Suqing was walking with the two children.

When they got closer, Xiao Ping'er suddenly bowed: "Thank you, Master, for letting me avenge my family. I will definitely work hard in this life to repay your kindness."

Gu Ke did not stop her this time. He waited until she finished her great ceremony before he stepped forward to help her up: "Call me Brother Gu, or call me Big Brother. This will be your new home in the future."

Xiao Ping'er hummed and nodded vigorously, tears falling down, but it seemed as if a big stone was removed from her heart.

For a child who suddenly lost all his relatives, one of the most urgent needs is a sense of security, or something to rely on.

Although Xiao Ping'er is already a hired worker, there is still a difference between the host's home and her own home.

Gu Ke asked her to treat this place as her home, and then they would be a real family from now on.

Xiaoman came forward and hugged her little sister: "From now on, you will call me big sister..."

At this point, she found that Bai Suqing and Gu Ke's eyes fell on her, and her neck shrank immediately, struggling to death: "She is younger than me, she is the younger sister, and I am naturally the older sister."

Gu Ke smiled and nodded: "That's right, then you sisters should take care of each other in the future."

Hearing this, Bai Suqing looked away: That's right, these two little ones like to get together, and there is no need for me to care too much.

Xiaoman nodded happily and looked at him expectantly: "Then I will call you big brother in the future?"

Gu Ke's eyebrows jumped: "Your big brother is called Xiong Daman, and you often say that he is a fool and a wooden brain. He can't even find a wife at the age of 20."

Xiaoman's face was embarrassed. I didn't expect that there would be such a sequelae from talking about the silly big brother before.

Gu Ke rubbed her little head: "I'm just kidding, call me Brother Gu or Brother Ke, whatever you want."

Xiao Man nodded repeatedly. She just wanted to fight for the same treatment as Xiao Ping'er, but she didn't have to call him Brother.

Well, thinking about her own brother, it was really stupid. Calling him Gu Ke was like scolding him.

After a few words, the sky was white.

Xiao Ping'er's family was killed, and she couldn't be too idle these days, so Gu Ke said he was hungry and told the two children to make breakfast quickly.

Hearing that there was something to do, the two children, who were hired workers, got busy out of habit.

Gu Ke gestured, and sat down with Bai Suqing on the futon next to the stone platform again, and orally told her the middle-grade martial arts called Jingtao Qianxue Palm.

This martial arts is not bound, he cannot enter it directly, and he has to comprehend it by himself, so he simply threw it to Bai Suqing.

Bai Suqing listened attentively, and after a while he praised: "This martial arts is very good."

Gu Ke was surprised: "You seem to be happier than getting the Sunflower Scripture, is it so good?"

Bai Suqing nodded, and then shook her head: "In general, it is far worse than the Sunflower Scripture, just like the second and third rounds."

"But the Sunflower Scripture is not suitable for my practice, it can only be used as a reference. Jingtao Qianxue Palm can perfectly complement the Blue Sea and Blue Sky Method. With a little practice, I can get started, enhance my foundation, and improve my strength at the same time."

Gu Ke couldn't help scratching his head: "It's just a middle-grade martial arts, is it so exaggerated?"

Bai Suqing roughly explained the reason.

The meaning of the Thousand Snow Palm of Shocking Waves is that the waves hit the shore and roll up thousands of piles of snow. With one palm, blood and energy pile up layer by layer, and the shore is shattered instantly.

The waves hit the reefs, and the reefs can stand still, because the texture of the reefs is far superior to the waves.

But against opponents of the same level or lower level, they will be torn to pieces in an instant when they encounter this fierce attack like the waves hitting the shore.

If Bai Suqing had practiced this palm method before last night, the white ghost in Baiwei Village would definitely be beaten into slag, and there would be no need to bring it back to kill.

With the Blue Sea and Blue Sky Method as the base and the Thousand Snow Palm of Shocking Waves as the use, Bai Suqing's weak attack power is made up.

Gu Ke suddenly realized: It means that it is a high-explosion and high-damage output skill!

Of course, another meaning that it is very suitable for Bai Suqing is that it will not be so useful to other people.

It's like two elementary school students, and it's not stronger than the Nine Changes of the Silk Coiling Silk and the Mysterious Yin Palm. It can only be a reserve of one more mid-grade martial arts.

Gu Ke didn't care. It was "dropped from monsters" anyway. It was good as long as it was useful.

In the future, he could get some handwritten copies and sell them as physical secrets at roadside stalls.

But he had to wait for a few years. By then, there would be many novice warriors who were well fed and full of blood and energy. Naturally, they would need martial arts to practice.

In this way, the middle and low-grade martial arts given by the system were the most suitable, because the threshold for practice was the lowest and could include most people.

Even if most people could only activate the first round and become novice warriors, they would still have a chance to escape when they encountered strange creatures and monsters, and would not have to sit there and wait for death.

There would be fewer situations like the death of the whole village in Baiwei Village.

Every time some people escaped, more people would survive over time.

Whether it was the monsters that ate people or people who hunted down the monsters, it was worth looking forward to.

While the two were chatting there, Miss Qin and the others, as well as Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, also got up and came to the hut to eat.

Seeing Gu Ke and Bai Suqing chatting, they didn't care much.

Only Miss Qin listened to it for a while, and found that it was about martial arts, so she gave up decisively.

She always felt awkward talking to Gu Ke about martial arts.

Because he usually only cared about two questions: one, how powerful is it?

Two, can he work?

Although the first point is indeed what people who practice martial arts should care about, he doesn't practice, but simply evaluates it, which is too boring.

Just like in the last life, a person who doesn't study asked 985 college students "how much money can you make after graduation".

Vulgar! It's really too vulgar.

Gu Ke didn't know that he was disliked by Miss Qin again. Seeing everyone coming, he stood up with Bai Suqing and went into the small hut to announce the dinner.

Amidst the snoring, breakfast was quickly solved by everyone.

It's not that the breakfast is not rich, sweet soy milk, salty tofu, grain porridge, caramel bread, fried wild vegetable buns, everything is available.

Anyway, most of them are made in spring and summer and on weekdays, and kept in the warehouse for freshness, and can be taken out and heated when dinner is served.

This saves time for cooking and waiting for meals, and you can have a snack whenever you are hungry.

Now everyone in the valley is busy practicing martial arts and working, so it is good to save some time.

After dinner, Gu Ke found Chunxia and told them that a large amount of crude salt and brine had arrived in the warehouse, so they would not have to save too much when cooking and experimenting with tofu in the future.

He had thought about this when he was in Xiongjia Village. During daily chats, he knew that Xiao Ping'er's home was by the sea, and there was a salt village nearby.

So he chose to set up a stall there for the sake of salt and brine.

Because Boss Lang killed four guards, the brine would not have to be moved secretly.

Besides, the salt households were going to run away collectively anyway, and it would be a waste to leave the old brine accumulated in the brine pool, so they moved a lot.

In addition to about 1,000 kilograms of crude salt, the salt households brought more than 3,000 kilograms of brine soil and water to exchange for Gu Ke.

There are four major categories of wheat, millet, sorghum, and beans in the valley, which can be made into several kinds of flour, oil, and tofu, and a large amount of salt and brine was also obtained.

There are also pine nuts, bamboo shoots, several wild fruit trees in the mountains, and dozens of plants that can be used as medicine and seasoning.

Chunxia and the two children spend their free time every day trying out new ways to cook various ingredients, and they are simply too busy.

With these ingredients rotating, it is not easy for everyone to get tired of eating.

The food can be slowly "updated" along with Chunxia and her cooking skills.

The 30 units of soul source that have just been obtained must be spent, and the study is still a pitiful level 0.

Work started in the morning, and two standard bamboo houses were completed before dinner, allowing the study to complete the upgrade, and the characteristic comprehension +5 was increased to +6.

The remaining 22 units of soul source, Gu Ke did not use it for the time being.

First, the standard bamboo house used as materials will take a few days to prepare, and second, it is only enough to upgrade one system building. For a system building complex that has formed a complete cultivation system, the actual effect is not much improved.

Moreover, there is another opportunity to set up a stall this month, but today is already the 28th day of the first lunar month.

He must use this opportunity within three days, otherwise it will automatically refresh next month and will not be kept for him.

He still asked Bai Suqing privately. She was silent for a moment, shook her head and sighed: "No, I really don't want to go anywhere."

Gu Ke already knew the answer, but he still felt a little surprised.

Letting go of the past does not mean that you can be free of worries.

Bai Suqing seemed to have really cut off the past. His parents, relatives and friends in the sect did not want to go and take a look.

At least he could go to the grave to pay homage... uh, is there something strange about this? He couldn't help but think of the grievances and intrigues of the rich families he had seen in his previous life.

What about relatives and sects turning against each other for profit, and the two sides never contacting each other again, or one day when she grows up, Sister Bai finds out that she is not her parents' biological daughter, etc.

Thinking of this, he decisively gave up the association.

It doesn't matter what her past is. Now she is an employee certified by the system, and she can definitely trust her own people.

This kind of meaningless speculation is actually disrespectful to her.

Just like she and Miss Qin must have guessed the reason why Gu Ke became a eunuch, but they never asked, and later simply pretended that it didn't happen and stopped talking about it.

If Bai Suqing took the initiative to ask for help, he should help.

But she didn't mean to say more, so he didn't need to bother.

Everyone has a difficult past. Don't explore and don't sympathize. Treat it with a normal heart. This is the way to get along for a long time.

...

The next day, Xiao Ping'er's spirit was obviously better.

Gu Ke knew that she found a place next to the workshop yesterday and set up a mourning hall for her family.

The spirit tablet was carved by herself out of wood, and the names of her parents and brother on the tablet were written by Bai Suqing.

In addition, Xiao Ping'er asked Dong Yan for a few incense sticks of trial products, and lit them in front of the spirit to worship.

After completing this task, her emotions calmed down a lot.

After hearing from Xiao Man, Bai Suqing sighed: "It's nothing more than a little sustenance. If she is willing, let her go."

Gu Ke also thought so.

The dead are gone, and the living are like this. Life must go on.

That night, Gu Ke was lying on the bed, and his consciousness entered the roadside stall and chose to set up the stall.

Naturally, all three hired workers were accompanied to set up the stall. There was no specific target for the location of the stall, so they could only choose one in the southeast, northwest, and northeast directions.

Yulong Valley was at the westernmost of the four countries in the Dawu Dynasty, so the east was the first choice.

As a result, after a night, Gu Ke sat up from the bamboo couch and shook his head with a bitter smile: "Well, you can't expect a good harvest every time."

The second and last stall of this January was in a remote seaside fishing village in Donghai Country, with 30 or 40 villagers.

The whole stall process was uneventful, and only some salted fish and seafood were exchanged, but the strange creatures were nowhere to be found.

This was a blow to the enthusiastic Gu Ke.
