Buddhist Cultivation: Starting from Divination

Chapter 76 Fishing, Soaking in Hot Springs

"Go slowly, both of you!"

When Zhao Huai and Yu Qinghan came out of Huachunzhai, the proprietress saw them off with a smile on their faces.

Yu Qinghan put all the clothes he bought into the storage necklace, and Fengmu said curiously:

"Husband, you seem to have been chatting with the proprietress for a long time, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Huai smiled mysteriously: "It's nothing, I just chatted about a little business, if it succeeds, I won't worry about spending spirit stones in the future."

Yu Qinghan realized in his heart, thinking, it seems like a big deal.

"Oh, so, where shall we go next?"

"Let's go fishing with my husband."

The two walked out of the inner city and came to the outer city. A large area of ​​earthen houses appeared in front of them.

Compared with the inner city, the outer city has changed greatly. The houses are generally small and low-lying, and the streets are basically lifeless.

Pedestrians in twos and threes, dressed very plainly, the people here rarely see smiles on their faces, sitting at the wooden door of their houses one by one, looking at Zhao Huai and Yu Qinghan passing by on the street, looking at them very strangely dress up.

Zhao Huai's eyes swept away one by one, and most people's eyes couldn't help but look down. He found that the people here were all extremely thin, and their eyes were different from those in the inner city.

That timid look in his eyes is a hurdle that cannot be overcome in a lifetime.

Yu Qinghan who was on the side obviously also noticed this detail, and doubts appeared in his eyes.

Seeing her reaction, Zhao Huai explained:

"Today there is a severe drought in the Suhu area, and the seeds sown in spring have not been harvested, so there is a famine."

Yu Qinghan nodded and frowned, "It's ridiculous that the government didn't do anything."

"The government has no time to take care of it. There are still so many troops to support, and they can't manage it if they want to."

Zhao Huai smiled and shook his head upon hearing this.

"Big Xia is not in the right place after all, and the public grievances are still there. I don't know when it will explode."

The reason why Zhao Huai said this was naturally because Yu Qinghan was treated unfairly by the Emperor Daxia, and he had complaints about it, so it was harmless to say it, and even a little bit of gloating.

After hearing his words, Yu Qinghan did not refute, but fell into deep thought.

"Let's go, there is a stream in front of the bamboo forest."

There is a small stream flowing through the outer city. It is more like a huge village than a city.

Most of the houses are made of wood and earth, surrounded by dense woods.

The choice of this location is obviously very good. Typhoons are prone to occur by the seaside, surrounded by forests for protection, and the wind and rain that need to be endured in the village are much smaller.

The two came to a quiet bamboo forest, where the river was rushing. Zhao Huai took out the fishing rod that he had prepared in advance, and seeing Yu Qinghan staring at the small river in a daze, he couldn't help but wondered:

"Ma'am, what's wrong?"

Yu Qinghan smiled slightly: "Thinking of some things in the past, every time I was stationed in the army, after the siege and battle, I hoped that there would be a small river in front of me, where I could take a bath and have a good meal. Looking back, the current life is like a dream. "

Zhao Huai stuck the fishing rod into the mud and comforted him:

"Xiangyun has told me that the old days are in the past, and there is nothing to miss."

"What did she say to you?"

When Yu Qinghan heard Pei Xiangyun's name, he turned his head and said with a slight twinkle in his eyes.

"It's just telling some stories about Madam, including some actions the emperor did to your family, and the unfair things your two elder brothers did to you."

Zhao Huai sighed. Although Madam didn't want to hear these things, they had to be faced. Only by speaking out could the problem be better solved.

Yu Qinghan smiled lightly: "This girl likes to talk nonsense."

"There's no such thing as killing and unfairness, everything is involuntary."

"Involuntary?" Zhao Huai muttered.

Yu Qinghan explained seriously: "Joining the army and family business are not what I want, but being born in a family, I can't help myself. How can I get out so easily? So it's true to say that."

"Is Madam really relieved?"

"I've been relieved a long time ago, they are not important anymore." Yu Qinghan smiled with phoenix eyes: "Didn't your husband say that you can live happily ever after?"

"I think this statement is justified. These things come to nothing in the end. It is better to practice hard and be happy at ease."

Zhao Huai nodded: "Indeed."

He told his wife more than once about his concept of cultivating immortals, and now it seems that the moist things are silent, and it seems that she has listened to it.

Yu Qinghan took a deep look at Zhao Huai, and said with emotion: "I seem to understand why my husband refused to marry me back then, probably because I was worried about this."

She had already understood Zhao Huai's attitude towards things, so she naturally understood what Zhao Huai did at the beginning.

Don't meddle in worldly affairs, mind your own business and live a long life.

This is the experience my husband has cultivated so far.

"Madam still brought up this matter."

Zhao Huai gave a dry laugh.

"In that case, let's stop talking and go fishing." Yu Qinghan said with a smile.

"However, I see that the river is so clear, and the sediment is deposited, there should be no fish, and the people in the outer city may have caught it all."

She pointed at Xiaohe with an extremely serious expression.

Zhao Huai glanced at the creek, and quickly swept the water in front of him with his consciousness, and found that it was true to what Madam said, there was not a single fish in the river.

Even small fry are not left.

It seems that because of the famine, all the fish here have been eaten.

"It's really unpredictable." Zhao Huai smiled bitterly, but he quickly cheered up again: "Don't be afraid, I have other plans."

"what?"

"Hot springs."

Zhao Huai grinned.

"Soaking in hot springs? Is your husband talking about hot springs?"

Yu Qinghan naturally knew what he was talking about. She had also heard about this so-called "hot spring" before, which was hot water formed in the sky, but it was very rare.

"As far as I know, there seems to be no hot springs near Jinzhou, right?"

Zhao Huai shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just that I didn't find it. I found a hot spring in the mountains by accident. It is definitely a holy place for relaxation."

He had just fled to Jinzhou, passed through the mountains, and discovered this hot spring through copper coins. He would go to soak in it every other month, which was very pleasant.

"Shame or shame, shame or shame!"

At this time, a bird with white feathers flew out and passed over his head.

"It's that stupid bird again." Zhao Huai knew it was the starling without even looking, and couldn't help curling his lips.

This treasure-hunting starling is also very strange to say, it stands to reason that it should bring back some good things every day.

But ever since he took some low-level spirit grass and elixir, he went out and returned empty-handed. It would be nice to have some spirit stones back occasionally.

He guessed that the good things around here should be bald by this starling.

The premise of treasure hunting is that there is a treasure. It is only found in one place in Jinzhou, and it is normal to find it.

"This starling is getting smarter and smarter. Locking it in the house, it can fly out by itself and find this place." Zhao Huai said speechlessly, holding his forehead.

Yu Qinghan smiled softly: "Smartness is a good thing, all things have spirits, know how to repay, maybe it will bring good luck to your husband in the future?"

Starling landed on Yu Qinghan's jade finger, the feathers became clearer, and Xiaodouzi's eyes were very lively.

Yu Qinghan stroked its feathers and said with a smile: "Little bird, you say so."

The starling said naively: "Yes, Madam is the most beautiful."

"Giggle."

Yu Qinghan was amused by the bird and laughed out loud.
