Cultivating immortality is going against the grain

At this time, it was getting very late, and Hui Dabao was walking on the country road hungry...

I'm starving!

I waved my big treasure and sat down on a stone bench in front of the ruined courtyard, panting from exhaustion...

He only felt weak all over his body, his mind was muddy, and he really couldn't lift his spirits...

What a deal! Just when I had some hope in life, I was about to starve to death. Why am I so miserable...

Hui Dabao was still sitting on the stone bench, but his upper body was lying directly on the ground, stretching his legs and breathing heavily...

He felt like he was going to faint...

After resting for a while, Hui Dabao finally regained some energy, but he didn't dare to get up, for fear that if he wasted any more energy, he would pass out. He took a big breath, as if the air was delicious food, and he wanted to eat it all at once...

Suddenly, he smelled a refreshing fragrance...

Huh?

Hui Dabao suddenly sat up straight and turned to face the broken courtyard. He discovered that there was a birch tree in the yard. The leaves of the birch tree were edible!

Waving his Dabao, he stood up like a whirlwind and rushed towards the birch tree.

The birch tree is not very tall, so I stood up on tiptoe with my big treasure, stretched out my hand and picked up a bunch of leaves, and put it into my mouth in a hurry!

good to eat!

The leaves of the birch tree carry a light fragrance, sour and sweet, like a pure sweet spring flowing into the dry fields, bringing infinite vitality...

Ah, delicious!

Hui Dabao licked his mouth with satisfaction. He did not dare to eat more, because eating too much birch leaves would cause diarrhea. At this time, he must not get sick...

Hey, no one lives in this yard?

Hui Dabao looked around and found that the three houses in the yard were dark and there was no movement at all...

Maybe there is really no one, otherwise someone should have come out to check if he had made such a big move!

He waved his big treasure and said secretly.

How about staying here tonight?

Hui Dabao suddenly realized that this was a good place to live. After all, he was penniless now and would definitely not be able to live in an inn. If he slept in the wild and the weather was wet and freezing at night, he would definitely get sick. This was an excellent place to live!

Wai Dabao no longer hesitated and walked towards the house in the middle.

He carefully opened the door. The room was very dark and he couldn't see clearly what was going on around him. He only saw a huge black pot hanging in the middle of the room. There was still some fresh wood ash under it. He waved his Dabao and said secretly, "Could this be... Hunter's residence?

No matter, let’s stay one night tonight!

Wai Dabao carefully entered the house and found that although the house was messy, it was not dirty. At this time, his eyes had adapted to the darkness. He looked around and found a candle holder on the wall. When he looked closer, there was a candle on the holder. Flint, Hui Dabao felt happy and quickly lit the candle house, and there was light in the house instantly.

not bad!

I waved my Dabao and saw the scene in the house clearly, and I was very happy!

Hey, what is that? Hui Dabao suddenly saw several strips of bacon hanging on the wall inside the house...

The blazing campfire, the rich bacon, and the delicious aroma of meat filled the entire cabin...

Bake it for a while and you can eat it, hehe!

Hui Dabao was happy in his heart. He was a little ashamed at first for stealing other people's bacon, but he couldn't resist his hunger. He planned to come back later to compensate the owner of the bacon with some money, so he made up his mind to roast the bacon.

cooked!

With Dabao, he quickly moved the bacon away from the campfire, put it to his nose and smelled it, it smelled so good!

Began to eat!

Hui Dabao was about to take a bite at the fat and thin spot. Suddenly, with a bang, the door of the house was kicked open, and then a huge bird with black feathers was thrown in. The bird was bleeding and obviously dead. , then a thin old man came in.

The accident happened so quickly that Hui Dabao was so frightened that he froze on the spot!

As soon as the old man entered the door, he saw Hui Dabao staring at him with wide eyes. He grinned, showing his dark teeth and said, "Hey, someone is here. Excuse me. I'm taking a rest here too!" After that, he stretched out his hand. He picked up a thick piece of wood and sat on it.

Hui Dabao swallowed and said, "Old man...are you the owner of this hospital?"

The old man patted the dust on his trousers, grinned and said, "No... I just come back from hunting often and take a breather here, hehe!"

Hui Dabao took a long breath and said to himself: It turns out he is not the master of the courtyard, he was scared to death!

The old man took out a long pipe from nowhere, reached into the fire and picked up a branch with sparks, lit the tobacco, and started smoking, but his eyes never left the barbecue in Hui Dabao's hand.

Hui Dabao saw this and said quickly, "Are you hungry, old man? I'll give you half!"

The old man shook his head and said, "I'm old, I can't eat such fat food. Eat it quickly, it's already cold!"

"Then I'll eat half first and leave half for you until you're hungry!"

Hui Dabao was really hungry, so he stopped being polite and started eating.

After taking two bites, Hui Dabao found that the old man was still staring at him with a strange smile on his face.

"Old man, are you really hungry? You're welcome. You can eat and I'll give you the rest!"

Hui Dabao handed over the barbecue in his hand.

The old man burst out laughing. He didn't laugh twice and started coughing.

Hui Dabao said displeasedly, "Old family, I gave you something to eat out of kindness, why are you doing this!"

The old man took a breath and said, "What a good boy, you know how to rake it. Is this bacon yours? Just give it to others to eat!"

Hui Dabao was startled and said, "Old man, didn't you say you are not the owner of this courtyard?"

The old man said, "I said I wasn't the owner of this courtyard, but I didn't say that this bacon was not mine. You gave me my bacon as a gift. This is such a good thing... This is the first time I, Xiao Feng, have seen him at such an old age... Haha!" Laughed again.

Does the bacon really belong to him?

Hui Dabao looked at the blackbird on the ground, then at the bacon on the wall, and said awkwardly, "Old man...this bacon turns out to be yours. I didn't mean to steal it...I will pay you back in the future..."

The old man stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, 50 taels of silver!"

"what!"

There's something wrong with wielding Dabao. He seems to have been plotted by this old man!

Hui Dabao said angrily, "Where did you get 50 taels for more than a kilogram of bacon? It's just extortion. I'm going to report it to the official!"

The old man chuckled and said, "Okay, go ahead. When you get to the government office, just say that you secretly ate wild clam beef and see if the official recognizes that the wild clam beef is 50 taels. When the time comes, some people will be sent to the frontier for labor, but don't I regret it!"

"What, beef!"

Hui Dabao hesitated, because a pound of beef is indeed worth 50 taels...

Seeing Hui Dabao stunned, the old man continued, "If you don't believe that this Fei Niu belongs to me, after dawn, you can ask the neighbors around to find out who owns this Fei Niu bacon, hum!"

Seeing the old man's words, he waved his treasure and said helplessly, "Old man, it's really my fault for stealing your bacon. I'd like to ask you to give me more. I owe you the 50 taels now. I'll make money to pay you back in the future. Please give me a lot." !”

The old man snorted, sat down on the wooden stake again, and said, "That's pretty much it. What kind of craft do you do? How long will it take to repay the 50 taels?"

Hui Dabao said, "I...don't have a job yet, but I will find a job as soon as possible..."

The old man's eyes widened and he said, "What? You don't have a job, so you're trying to trick me with nothing. No, no, no, no, I'm going to report to the official!" As he said that, he got up and went out.

Hui Dabao stopped him quickly and said urgently, "Old man, please don't report to the government, otherwise I will be sent to the frontier, and I can't go to the frontier... Old man, please tell me something, and I will definitely do it!"

"I tell you a way, you do it?"

The old man said with a smile on his face.

Hui Dabao hesitated for a moment and nodded.

The old man chuckled, turned back to the wooden pile, knocked the pipe vigorously on the ground, and said, "There is indeed a way... Xiao Mou, I have lived for most of my life, without children, and my health is getting worse day by day. Now, I don’t have anyone to take care of me, so how about this, you become my disciple and the 50 taels thing is written off in one go, how about that?”

"What? I want you to be my master?" Hui Dabao asked in surprise.

The old man looked sideways at Hui Dabao and said, "What? You don't agree!"

Hui Dabao said quickly, "No...no, old man, please don't misunderstand, it's just...just..."

"It's just what... tell me quickly!"

"It's just...I'll tell you the truth, I came to Qianshan City this time just to worship my master and learn some martial arts. I don't think you know martial arts...so, Dabao can take care of you until you grow old, but can I go to worship someone else?" Be a teacher!"

The old man stood up with a groan and said, "You little brat, how dare you look down on Xiao. Finding someone to take care of you is not a trivial matter. Xiao mainly wants to find someone to teach him all your skills. Seeing that you have a good character, I think I accepted you as my disciple, but I didn’t expect you to be blind and blind!!”

"Old man...don't be angry...ouch!"

Hui Dabao suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head, his eyes went black, and he fainted...
