Strange mountains and rivers

When a few people brought the wolf to the door of Chen Huaisheng's house, Chen Huaisheng discovered that his private courtyard was kept very clean. Even the weeds around it had been cleaned up. Apparently, people often came to help clean it.

Chen Huaisheng took out a key from the crack in the stone wall next to the courtyard door. He expertly aimed it at the keyhole and opened the lock.

With a creaking sound, the door opened and entered the courtyard. The wooden pergola built against the front courtyard wall on the right was still the same, surrounded by a small stone table and three stone benches. Further inside were two side rooms.

On the left is the woodshed, kitchen and a side room, and then on the front are three ordinary main rooms.

The stone steps were already rough, but they made Chen Huaisheng feel particularly friendly.

His parents left early, and Chen Huaisheng began to live independently when he was twelve years old.

Fortunately, with his Taoist status, no one dared to break the rules set in the village. He was not short of food and clothing, and the Master taught him the same treatment for reading and literacy.

In a sense, it is only because of this Taoist identity that he enjoys different treatment from other teenagers of the same age. Otherwise, it is unknown whether an orphan without a father and mother would survive.

Even if I still have uncles and uncles, in this world, it is common for people to starve to death and freeze to death if one or two droughts and snowstorms occur in a village in the mountains.

As soon as Chen Daosheng's figure disappeared, Chen Huaisheng was still sitting on the stone bench feeling sad when he heard a familiar voice coming from the door outside: "Huaisheng, is it really you who is back?"

"Brother Ninth, it's me!" Chen Huaisheng was also a little excited.

If there are still some things in Yuanbao Village that he can remember as memories, or there are a few people who can make him feel a little warm, this one is one of them.

Life in the village is not as comfortable and easy as imagined, and making a living is not easy, especially for ordinary people.

Yuanbaozhai is deep in the mountainous area, and there is not much flat land. It is either some scattered plots of land around Yuanbaoyuan or the valleys along the Changxi River. It is indeed not easy for more than 3,000 people to make a living every year.

The man who walked in was about thirty-twenty-twenty-three years old, with a copper face and a tall build. He wore a gray-black linen jacket and a moon-white half-arm, which made him look even more broad-shouldered. He wore a pair of black leather Liuhe boots and walked. Come, tiger and tiger make wind.

"I heard someone on the other side of the street saying that you were back and killed a wolf. I couldn't believe it, but in my heart I was hoping it was true..."

The man who came in grabbed Chen Huaisheng and looked him up and down, quite excited. When he saw the wolf placed on the stone table, his eyes lit up.

"Hey, it's really a black-tailed wolf. Uncle Qi arranged for me to go to Luohan Burger. I didn't catch up with this incident. I don't know if it's luck or regret. Yin Yan and Yin Lidong of the Yin family died. If I If you encounter me, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape death. Okay, Huaisheng, you finally broke out..."

His face was filled with joy from the bottom of his heart, which made Chen Huaisheng feel that there were still many good people in this world, although he tried to remind himself that this was all an illusion, and that this world might be dirtier and crueler than his previous life.

From the Xuan Chimei he met in the small temple to the ninth brother Chen Luosheng in front of him, the former helped him a lot, while the latter was the person who helped him the most or took care of him the most at home before he went out to seek Taoism and travel.

"Brother Ninth, come and sit down. You're here just in time. You can let go and have a full meal tonight." Chen Huaisheng didn't show any politeness to the other party. He directly patted the wolf on the stone table and said, "Fresh wolf meat, please be satisfied." , go and call Xiaoqi."

Xiaoqi is Chen Luosheng's eldest son who is only ten years old. He has already established his spiritual foundation but his spiritual roots are not yet clear. Chen Huaisheng also heard Chen Daosheng mention it on the way, which made Chen Huaisheng very happy for Ninth Brother.

This Tao seed does not seem to be inherited.

For example, Chen Huaisheng and Chen Luosheng's parents are not Taoist, but they are both born with Taoist seeds.

Many children born to both parents are not Taoist, but it cannot be denied that if both parents are Taoist, the chances of their children being Taoist are higher than those of non-Taoist parents.

"Okay, I'm going to call Xiaoqi. You just came back. There's nothing in the house. I'm going to get some green salt and spices. Do you plan to bake it or marinate it?"

Chen Luosheng was not polite to Chen Huaisheng. He had two sons and one daughter, but only the eldest son was a Taoist. The second son was almost seven years old and had not yet learned the Tao. He was probably out of luck, and the daughter was only three years old.

For example, the meat of monster beasts is rich in energy and cannot be digested by mortals. Eating it will only break the bones and muscles. However, for the Taoists, it is a great tonic that nourishes the spiritual roots of the Taoist bones.

"Let's bake thirty kilograms first. If we eat today, we can have another meal tomorrow. As for the rest, we'll talk about it later." Chen Huaisheng nodded.

"I thought you didn't know what to do. Can you still offer some sacrifices to Grandpa Seven and Shang Xiong? There are also the Yin family and other families..."

Chen Luosheng nodded slightly. It seemed that Huaisheng had been traveling in the past few years. He didn't know how he was doing in Taoism, but he still learned a little about how to behave.

Chen Huaisheng didn't explain much. It was hard to say whether Chen Chongyuan and Chen Shangxiong were enemies or friends. As for other people, now was not the time.

As for going to Fengtongling to search for clues, I'm afraid you have to bring dozens of kilograms of wolf meat with you. Otherwise, do you really think that a little friendship six or seven years ago can make people work hard for you?

Chen Luosheng's home was not far away, and he was nearby. Soon he heard Chen Luosheng's teaching words and the cheerful laughter of children.

"Uncle Six!"

The young man who came in was full of excitement and joy, and the longing in his brows was obviously due to hunting the wolf. Chen Huaisheng himself felt that he seemed a little old, but he was still barely twenty years old.

"Xiao Qi, I haven't seen you in a few years. Hey, Brother Ninth, when I left, Xiao Qi was still tearful and had a mucus on his face..."

With just one sentence, Xiao Qi, who had originally wanted to act like an adult in front of the two elders, broke his guard, and his face suddenly dropped.

"Uncle Six, I'm already ten years old. Why do you remember so much about things that happened when I was three or four years old?"

"Haha, just to remind Xiao Qi that if he becomes an immortal master in Taoism in the future, in front of Uncle Six, he will still be the little kid wiping his nose sideways..." Chen Huaisheng laughed heartily.

"Uncle Six!" Xiao Qi was both respectful and annoyed with this Uncle Six.

On the way, he heard his father talking about his sixth uncle. He couldn't even remember the situation six years ago, but in the past few years, it was inevitable to hear his father mention this uncle who was not close to him in terms of blood.

Who would have thought that he would suddenly return to his hometown today and hunt down a wolf that scared everyone in the village into panic.

Life in the mountains requires hunting and the use of spices when processing animal meat.

Chives, Sichuan peppercorns, green salt, garlic, just these few things seem a bit too rough for Chen Huaisheng, but this is all that is available in this era.

The cow-ear knife in Chen Luosheng's hand skillfully peeled off the wolf's skin and cut it along a white line on the wolf's abdomen, and the internal organs rolled out.

Chen Luosheng took a deep breath. Although he had never dealt with the wolf, he had a general idea. He soon found an egg-sized gray-white Yuan Dan at the lower end of the wolf's waist. It was wrapped in a translucent film and had something like a silk mesh on it. General tendons.

Looking at Chen Huaisheng who was still amusing himself with his son, Chen Luosheng had a complex expression on his face, "Huaisheng, this sneaky wolf Yuan Dan..."

"Oh, leave it there." Chen Huaisheng glanced at it, "Many people are staring at this thing. I guess the Yin family and Chen Shangxiong are both thinking about it."

Scream for votes!
