Chapter 61 Goodbye Fatty Sun

Fatty Sun is back.

The next morning, Li Yuan learned the news and was shocked.

Others might think that Fatty Sun went to visit relatives with the second shopkeeper, but he knew it was not the case.

Especially, after learning that Fatty Sun came back alone last night and was immediately taken away by Cao Yan, he was even more certain.

"Something happened!"

Putting down the forging hammer, Li Yuan rushed back to the middle courtyard without saying a word and saw Fatty Sun, who was lost and thin.

"You..."

Before Li Yuan could ask, Sun Hao rushed over and hugged him and cried loudly, tears streaming down his face.

"..."

Li Yuan opened his hands and waited until the crying gradually subsided before asking:

"What happened on the way? Why did you come back alone? Where is the second shopkeeper?"

"Something happened, something happened."

Fatty Sun looked ashen and muttered back and forth.

Li Yuan couldn't bear it, so he raised his hand and slapped him:

"What happened?"

Fat Sun staggered and fell on the chair, tears streaming down his face:

"My brother-in-law, my brother-in-law... was arrested?"

"... Who arrested him?"

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and he almost mourned.

"He was... arrested by the Viper Gang."

Fat Sun seemed to have just come back to life, with a bitter and worried face: "He, he is so seriously injured, what should I do? What should I do..."

Venomous Snake Gang?

Li Yuan was skeptical.

The Viper Gang is a group of bandits entrenched outside the Bishui Lake. It is said that there are thousands of people and their power is quite large, but they have never disturbed towns. It is said that they have close ties with several families in the city.

At least, they should not take the initiative to provoke the Weapon Forging Shop.

The Weapon Forging Shop's power radiates to all counties and towns, and can even sell goods to Zhelong Mansion. Its power is not inferior to that of the Viper Gang.

The inner courtyard is assessed every three years. There are at least seven or eight batches of apprentices ahead of Yue Yunjin and others...

"How did you come back?"

Li Yuan frowned slightly.

Although Fatty Sun cried so hard that he was out of his mind, he had been with this fat man day and night for many days, and he always felt that this fat man was a little insincere.

Being coerced?

"I took advantage of the night and beat down the bandits who were on guard and escaped!"

I was indeed coerced!

Li Yuan understood and asked: "Can the shopkeeper believe what you said?"

"He..."

Fatty Sun was dejected, with an anxious face that didn't seem to be fake: "He doesn't believe it either, but, but this is true!"

Li Yuan was a little shaken by his behavior. He didn't remember that this fat man was so good at acting:

"How many people are you traveling with?"

"Twenty-three people, thirteen of them are from Changyuan Escort Agency..."

"Then why did you escape back?"

Li Yuan felt that he had figured it out. This fat man must have been deliberately released.

Changyuan Escort Agency also does martial arts business. It is one of the three major martial arts schools in the inner city. There are at least five or six internal force warriors who have been escorting for many years and are experienced. They were unscathed in the previous trip to Fajiu Mountain.

They failed, and a cook ran away. Who can trust him?

"Me, how should I know?"

Fatty Sun was a little anxious.

Cao Yan said the same thing. Why doesn't anyone believe him?

Li Yuan knew that there was probably something wrong, but he didn't ask any more questions. He patted his shoulder; "You take your time. I'll go cook. Look at how thin you are."

Fatty Sun 'snorted' back:

"Put more fat!"

...

Li Yuan went to the kitchen to cook a table of dishes for Fatty Sun, and borrowed a pot of wine from the kitchen.

But even though he was drunk, Fatty Sun still said the same thing, talking nonsense, and it seemed that he really didn't lie.

"Sleep well."

After helping Sun Hao to the bed and covering him with a quilt, Li Yuan went out, but saw Cao Yan had arrived at the door without knowing when.

"Boss?"

Li Yuan really didn't notice, and was shocked.

This was the first time he saw Cao Yan up close. He only felt that his breathing was long and light, almost nonexistent. He was not tall or strong, but he felt like he was facing a tiger.

No, he could kill a tiger now, this must be a monster...

"Li Yuan?"

Cao Yan glanced at the inner room where the snoring sound had begun: "I heard from Master Zhang that your forging skills have been perfected? Are you sure you can forge a top-grade blade?"

"Boss, this is my first time forging, and I'm really not sure..."

Li Yuan bowed his head slightly.

"Don't be afraid, if you succeed, you succeed, if you don't, you can practice. You are still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Cao Yan reached out and patted his shoulder, his tone gentle:

"If you can really forge a top-grade blade, I will give you another reward in private!"

After that, he turned and left.

"Reward?"

Patting the non-existent dust on his shoulder, Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and for a moment, his hair stood up.

The martial arts of this shopkeeper is at least two levels higher than Qin Xiong!

"What do you mean there will be plenty of opportunities in the future?"

...

"Huh!"

After a day of ironwork, when it was getting dark, Li Yuan put down the forging hammer, stopped the fire and went home.

There were still few pedestrians in the city. From time to time, you could see patrolling city guards and yamen runners. Few vendors were still setting up stalls at this time.

Li Yuan looked normal. He bought some rice and flour and carried them with him. Sometimes yamen runners passed by, but no one questioned him. The murderous maniac Nian Jiu reappeared.

What does it have to do with him, an apprentice in the inner courtyard of the forging shop who is obedient and law-abiding?

When he passed through Chaiyufang, he saw Liang Ashui.

Liang Ah Shui, who had disappeared for several months, attracted a lot of attention when he appeared. However, this time he was not here to sell spiritual fish, but was in a hurry.

He passed through the crowd and went straight to the Four Seasons Medicine Hall.

"I heard that his qi and blood have already been strengthened. Are you going to buy medicine to boost your internal energy?"

Li Yuan glanced at it but didn't care, and went to his second brother's house with rice and noodles.

He is too busy every day to cook. He eats breakfast on the road, eats a big pot of rice in the inner courtyard at noon, and eats the meal at his second brother's house in the evening.

From time to time, he would bring chicken, duck, fish, rice and noodles, but he was worried that the two of them were used to saving and would be reluctant to eat.

Pregnant people need nourishment even more.

In his previous life, although he had not learned much about reciting sutras and drawing talismans, his skills in midwifery and inducing births were top-notch. If anyone had a difficult birth, he would go there wearing the stars and the moon, blindfolded with black cloth throughout the process to ensure the safety of mother and child.

For a time, that was how he supported himself.

It was not until later that everyone went to big hospitals to give birth, that Master Dao had no choice but to be laid off and went home to open a small supermarket.

"My appetite is getting bigger and bigger. My second brother and sister-in-law don't even eat as much as I do in one meal in a day. I have to buy more after that..."

After eating to half full, Li Yuan said goodbye to his brother and sister-in-law and went home.

After closing the courtyard door and the room door, he took out a blood energy pill.

"It requires too much medicine to change the bones. I'm afraid the pills on my body may not be enough."

After taking a look at the fat field mouse that was squeaking, Li Yuan raised his head and swallowed the elixir. When the medicine's power surged in his abdomen, the familiar feeling came back.

Restless blood, rapid circulation, consumption of medicinal power...

Then came the itching and burning that penetrated deep into his bones and made him unbearable.

"The human spirit likes to be pure, but the mind is disturbed; the human mind likes to be calm, but the desire leads to it. It can always drive away its desires, and the mind will be calm, and the mind will be clear, and the spirit will be pure. Naturally, the six desires will not arise, and the three poisons will be eliminated...

Damn, it doesn’t work! "

Li Yuan tried to recite the Jing Jing Sutra silently, but after reciting a few words, he couldn't help but beat the ground, stood up, rushed out the door and jumped into the large water tank.

As the water rippled, Li Daoye regretted that he was too undisciplined in his previous life and failed to learn Taoist static skills.

But he suspected that this kind of itching would have to be scratched even if the Patriarch came...

After enduring it for an unknown amount of time, Li Yuan, who was almost exhausted, climbed out of the vat and lay weakly on the ground again. After the soreness and itching, he felt comfortable all over.

The transformation of the root bone does not happen overnight, but Li Yuan can feel the changes in himself every time he takes the pill.

His fingers became slender, and the muscles that became somewhat obvious due to practicing the hammer stance became stronger, smoother, and less obvious.

He seems to have grown taller.

"Once every three days at most, otherwise, my body won't be able to bear it... Well, this hardship is not in vain. I'm practicing martial arts. I guess I'm about to get started?"

Looking at the bright moon, Li Yuan felt his own changes, or in other words, the harvest of self-abuse.

He tried the Qixing Henglian Shen on the day he started it. He suffered a lot, but the progress was excruciatingly slow. On the contrary, when the root bones were modified, the progress of the Henglian improved.

Li Yuan estimated that horizontal training itself is a process of making muscles and bones strong and strong through hard work. The bones are being transformed, and horizontal training will naturally progress.

"It's still one or two times before I get started. If I want to master it, I'm afraid it may not be enough even if I take all the medicine... However, I should have skipped the beating with the wooden stick.

The second layer should be iron sand body massage? "

As soon as Li Yuan moved, his whole body shivered with pain, and he felt like his bones were colliding and fighting.

Once a muscle or bone is injured, it can take hundreds of days to recover, let alone such a drastic transformation. More importantly, he doesn't have many elixirs...

"Sparse your medicine. Sooner or later, when you are promoted to the Master of Arms, you have to pay more attention."

Lying on his back, Li Yuan was thinking about something.

In the past two days, he had casually asked Zhang Bi about red gold, but red gold was not a currency at all. He once had some, and it was just for forging weapons.

There were many people with red gold in Gaoliu County, but the only one he could be sure of was Cao Yan.

"He said that there will be rewards after forging a superior blade..."

Yawning, Li Yuan was quite sleepy, but still thinking.

With the blessing of the Great Craftsman's Hammer, I have been confident of forging a high-quality blade for a few days. The reason for slowing down is because I am worried that my forging talent is too good and Cao Yan will not let him go.

He had never experienced this kind of thing, but he had heard of it a lot in his previous life.

But he didn't expect that he might encounter something like this before he even made a superior blade...

"Maybe I'm overthinking it?"

After resting for a while, Li Yuan stood up with his trembling hands and feet, washed the mud off his body, and went back to the house to lie down.

But he made up his mind.

Just build this piece of soft armor and try to obtain red gold from Cao Yan. After that, you will naturally 'fail' several times...

"You can also build the inner armor slowly. It's your first time making a high-grade sharp blade. Can't you be careful and take your time?"

With muttering, Li Yuan fell into a deep sleep.

…

Li Yuan took a day off and went home without daring to look at the old Zhangtou who was blowing his beard and staring.

"Lao San, you didn't go to work?"

Li Lin was a little surprised when he came back and almost thought he was sick.

"I took a day off and planned to accompany you to the inner city."

Li Yuan answered.

Cao Yan's words yesterday made him a little worried, but they were indeed true. In the past eight months, apart from blacksmithing and martial arts training, he had only been studying, and his spirit was really too tense.

Now that Qin Xiong's threat was gone, he was ready to take it easy.

"That's fine. Seeing you working all day, your second brother must be worried!"

Wang Juan's face softened a lot, and her belly bulged a little, but it was not obvious.

"Okay, let's go around, buy some cloth, buy some pregnancy-preserving medicine, and then go to the Bodhisattva Temple..."
