Chapter 16 No Worries Behind, Young People Are Full of Ambition

Finally we saw the familiar mountains, fields, ravines and villages. Wu Yan's mood was agitated. He looked at the familiar village crawling at the foot of the mountain, and it seemed that there was no change at all.

"This is one hundred taels of silver. You can take it and settle things at home. I'll come here to pick you up in three days. Once you leave this time, if you can't practice the formula to the fourth level, you won't be able to come back." Medicine Master Feng Standing at the intersection of the mountains leading to Wujiagou, I glanced at the small village at the foot of the mountain. Then I left these words, threw him a money bag, turned around and left.

Wu Yan rushed to the village excitedly. Along the way, familiar faces and familiar voices made him feel more cordial.

"Hey, Wu Yan is back. He's grown a lot taller."

"Young boy Yan has become successful. I heard that you are learning a craft outside? You make so much money, and your family has renovated a big house."

"Brother Yan, will you take us out together?"

…

Wu Yan dealt with them one by one and walked towards his yard. The familiar dilapidated thatched cottage disappeared, and a high-walled courtyard with blue bricks and red tiles appeared in its place. The plaster on the wall was still half-dry. It looked like it had just been built recently, and it was quite conspicuous in the village.

In front of the gate, his younger brother Wu Shan was playing with a slingshot. He looked up and saw Wu Yan. He was stunned for a moment, then jumped up and shouted: "Brother, are you really back? Dad, dad, mother, little sister, eldest brother is back!" "

Wu Shan came up and grabbed Wu Yan's arm affectionately, pulling him into the room while shouting. A clutter of footsteps ran out of the yard. When Wu Yan saw his father and mother, he couldn't help but ran over and shouted with a choked voice: "Dad, mother, I finally see you. It's so good to see you."

Wu Yan's father has white hair on his temples. He is a farmer in his forties, but he already looks a bit old. He was holding a hoe and it seemed that he was going to work in the fields. Wu Yan's mother was also covered in frost. Perhaps because of such big changes in her family, her complexion was much better than before.

The little girl was only six years old, her eyes were timid, she was wiping her nose, and she seemed to have been crying just now. She grabbed her mother's clothes and recognized Wu Yan when she saw him. A sweet smile appeared on her face. She ran towards Wu Yan, shook his arm and shouted: "Brother, brother, where have you been?" ? I miss you so much, and I thought my second brother was lying to me."

The family happily entered the house, and the whole house was filled with laughter and laughter. For a while, Wu Yan and his parents talked about the situation when they were separated at the border of Qingxian County, and they were both lamenting about the troubled lives they lived after they separated.

"Yan'er, is that old man who came here some time ago really your master? What does he do? By the way, what are you doing now? That old man is so nice. He said that you were working for him and he paid you all your wages. You have saved up a total of fifty taels of silver. Alas, my parents have never seen so much money in their lives." Wu Yan fell silent after listening to his mother's words.

His father also looked at him with a puzzled look, frowned and said, "Boss, your mother is right. The old man's family is very nice, but my parents are worried about whether you are doing some illegal business outside."

Brother Wu Shan and sister Wu Duo looked at Wu Yan with admiration and curiosity.

Wu Yan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Father, mother, where are you thinking? My master has opened a big pharmacy in a neighboring county, and I am working in the pharmacy. I am now studying medicine with my master, and I will also Those who treat people will naturally have higher wages. Dad, Mom, this is some money that Master asked me to advance. You should keep it. Master asked me to come back this time to settle things at home, and then go back and learn from him in the future. Inherit his legacy. So, after I leave in a few days, I may not be able to come back for several years.”

Wu Yan handed over the money bag his master gave him to his father. Wu Yan's father, Wu Laosan, took the money bag, opened it, and was surprised. Then his face showed joy: "This must be a hundred taels of silver! My dear, the doctor sitting in the restaurant is really a money-maker." Our family is very lucky this time. Mom, go get some food. Xiaoshan, go get a bottle of wine. Dad is going to have a good drink with your eldest brother today to celebrate that your eldest brother has finally grown up. "

The family got busy happily. Xiaoshan took a dozen big bucks from his mother and ran out happily carrying a wine bottle. My mother and little sister also went to collect vegetables.

Wu Laosan and Wu Yan, father and son, were left in the hall chatting about everyday things. That night, Wu Yan made an exception and drank wine for the first time. Not only did the family escape the disaster of famine, but they were able to reunite safely and live a good life. Naturally, they were very happy.

The time for joyful gatherings is always short. Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Wu Yan carried large and small bags of things and waved goodbye to his family. Although he was reluctant to leave, he still left resolutely. The master was kind to him and even gave his family a one-time settlement allowance of one hundred and fifty taels.

If managed properly, this one hundred and fifty taels of silver would be enough to feed and clothe his parents and younger siblings for decades.

His parents saw him off at the entrance of the village. His mother and younger siblings all wiped away tears and waved. Wu Yan did not dare to turn around and strode out of Wujiagou.

Pharmacist Feng stood quietly at the place where the two separated three days ago, leaning on a wooden crutch with the ancient medicine gourd hanging on it. Wu Yan saw the gourd and recalled the experience of that day. He smiled bitterly and followed the expressionless Yaoshi Feng out of Wujiagou, heading all the way to Xiaogu Mountain in Gu County.

Two days later, the two of them reached a fork in the road and embarked on the official road connecting Qinggu County. Pharmacist Feng said in a cold voice: "Wu Yan, those thieves I met a few days ago are all from Duan Knife Hall. Their disappearance has attracted the attention of Duan Knife Hall. The border line has been inspected in the past few days. It's very strict. I'm afraid it's hard to get away with it this time. Bring me the dagger I gave you."

Wu Yan followed his words and took out the dagger and handed it to Yaoshi Feng, looking at him doubtfully. Pharmacist Feng pulled out the dagger and took out a small white porcelain bottle from his arms. He opened the mouth of the small porcelain bottle and poured a few drops of blue liquid onto the edge of the dagger.

The liquid was colorless and odorless. It dripped onto the blade and disappeared after a moment. Pharmacist Feng carefully raised the dagger to his eyes and looked at it carefully, then blew on it carefully for a while.

After doing all this, Pharmacist Feng put the dagger back into its sheath and returned it to Wu Yan, saying, "Be careful when using it. I just applied a poison that can seal the throat when it sees blood. Don't scratch it." He killed himself. I have just prepared this poison, and the antidote has not yet been prepared.”

Wu Yan was a little depressed and took the dagger with two fingers, holding it in his hand, feeling very uncomfortable.

"The people of Broken Knife Hall have been very arrogant in the past two years. I can't stand it for a long time. I leave this time to teach them a lesson. Remember, I will use my cough as a sign later. I will never show mercy this time. . Either you die or they die.”

Wu Yan nodded. Now that you have entered the world of martial arts, you should also have the awareness of people in the world of martial arts. Either one dies or the enemy dies. Wishful grudges, aren't they just the desire hidden in my heart? I didn't dare to do it before because I didn't have the power to control it. Now that I have unique skills, why do I need to endure it?
