A scrap collection station comes to mind

In the woodshed.

Ma Santong was tied to a pillar and looked even more embarrassed than when he saw him at noon.

However, he seems to be in good spirits.

As soon as Chen Muyu stepped in, he felt a little regretful because he found that Ma Santong didn't look uncomfortable at all.

"Brother!"

Ma Santong saw him and quickly stopped him, making it too late for Chen Muyu to pull back.

Chen Muyu rolled his eyes, "What did she do to you just now? She screamed so miserably?"

Ma Santong laughed dryly, "It's okay. As the saying goes, beating is a kiss and scolding is love..."

A drop of sweat dropped on Chen Muyu's forehead.

"Brother, you're just a woman, why do you want to be so mean to yourself?" Chen Muyu didn't quite understand.

"Brother, you don't understand!"

Ma Santong grinned, "I don't call it mean, I call it persistence. Brother, let me tell you some good news. Xiaoli has promised me and is willing to marry me!"

"Um?"

Chen Muyu frowned, looking very surprised, "Are you kidding me? Niu Village Master, promise you?"

It was such nonsense that Chen Muyu even doubted whether this guy had been hallucinated by the abuse.

"What's that look in your eyes?"

Ma Santong said seriously, "Brother, you can doubt everything, but you must not doubt my charm. Brother, I still have a lot of attraction for middle-aged and elderly women like this!"

"Come on, stop daydreaming and hurry down the mountain!" Chen Muyu waved his hand, it was impossible to believe what he said.

"Of course, Xiaoli's agreement to marry me is conditional." Ma Santong quickly added.

Chen Muyu looked at Ma Santong in surprise, "What are the conditions?"

What Ma Santong said before was not worthy of belief, but once he said there were conditions, it would be difficult to say.

Ma Santong was a little shy, "Brother, my current image is indeed not what it was back then. However, there is a tempering pool in Niuwang Village. I heard that it can make people physically younger. Xiaoli wants me to try it... …”

"Um?"

Chen Muyu frowned.

The appearance of a practitioner is inherently younger than that of ordinary people, but it is not as exaggerated as Niu Xiaoli's. Only when one reaches the golden elixir realm can the appearance be reshaped according to the mind of the practitioner.

Niu Xiaoli is also in her fifties and looks to be in her early thirties at most. This is contrary to common sense. It turns out that Niu Wangzhai has a place where the body can be tempered.

Chen Muyu looked at Ma Santong strangely, "Can you do such a good thing?"

Chen Muyu still couldn't figure out why Ma Santong should be involved in such a good thing?

When something goes wrong, there must be something strange, and there must be something fishy in it.

Ma Santong looked unsuspecting, "Brother, if you are jealous, just say so. Brother, I have got what I wanted, and I will be willing to die if I get pregnant with a beautiful woman again..."

Chen Muyu frowned, "Brother, in my impression, you are not such an irrational person. Don't you really think there's anything wrong?"

"Brother, don't worry about me. Tomorrow she will arrange for me to enter the quenching pool and wait until I come out of the quenching pool. Hehe, I was as handsome as you when I was young..."

"As long as you are happy!" Chen Muyu touched his forehead, "Then I shouldn't have anything to worry about? I won't worry about it anymore!"

The old man enjoyed it himself. It was useless what Chen Muyu said, so why bother talking? After chatting for a few words, Chen Muyu left.

…

In the evening, I asked Niu Er about the quenching pool, but Niu Er seemed to be a bit secretive about the topic. In just a few words, Chen Muyu was put off.

Chen Muyu didn't have the nerve to ask any more questions. After all, he was an outsider and he didn't want others to think he had ulterior motives or intentions.

But Chen Muyu always felt that there was something vaguely weird about this matter.

Ma Santong is not such an irrational person. Even if he is unbearable, he will not be like this because of a woman.

Furthermore, will Niu Xiaoli agree to marry Ma Santong? If she liked Ma Santong, she would have waited until now and got married thirty years ago.

I don’t know what these two people are doing!

…

A night of silence.

When he woke up the next day, Chen Muyu made a special trip to the woodshed, but did not see Ma Santong. Niu Jun and the others said that Ma Santong had been taken away by Niu Xiaoli early in the morning.

Eighty percent of them went to the quenching pond.

But no one in the village knew where the quenching pool was, or perhaps everyone knew it, but they just didn't tell Chen Muyu.

There was no other way, so Chen Muyu could only wait at Niu Er's house.

Early in the morning, Niu Er took Sister Hua and his eldest son Niu Jian to work in the fields, leaving Niu Li and Niu Bao as the two housekeepers at home.

Niu Li is naive and has a hard-working brain, while Niu Bao is smart, but he is too young.

Chen Muyu played the Little Overlord game with them, which was really boring.

"Xiaobao, have you ever heard of the quenching pool?"

Chen Muyu asked casually without leaving any trace, thinking that these people wouldn't be able to tell if they asked an adult, but if they were childish, maybe these two children would know!

Niu Bao shook his head directly, "What pool?"

He looked confused, not pretending at all.

"Quenching pool?" Niu Li tilted his head, "Is it the pool behind the ancestral hall?"

"Oh? You know?" Chen Muyu looked at Niu Li.

Niu Li nodded seriously, "That's a poisonous pool. My father said that the pool was passed down from our ancestors, and there were tens of thousands of poisons mixed in it. When I was a child, I almost fell into it because of my playfulness. Fortunately, the pool was The Lord arrived in time to stop me, but I still inhaled the poisonous gas. Although I was rescued, my brain is not very easy to use, and I am only taller and stronger..."

Niu Li said that he has a nose and eyes.

"Poison pond?"

Chen Muyu raised his eyebrows. The tempering pool turned out to be a poisonous pool?

But it is understandable. After all, Niu Wangzhai itself is a poisoner. These things may be poison in the eyes of others, but in their eyes they may be medicine. It is not incomprehensible that they are used to temper the body.

But after all, Ma Santong is not from southern Xinjiang. Can he bear that thing?

After much deliberation, Chen Muyu was a little worried and decided to take a look.

"You two have fun while I go out for a while!"

Chen Muyu handed the game controller to Niu Li, stood up and walked out.

The two children were eager for Chen Muyu to leave. No one wanted to compete with them for games, so they ignored him at all.

…

Ancestral hall!

The ancestral hall is much easier to find. It is on the northern periphery of the village, close to the mountains and forests.

A very large courtyard, with three entrances and three exits.

When Chen Muyu arrived, there were already several middle-aged men guarding the outside.

Seeing Chen Muyu coming, several men naturally stopped Chen Muyu.
