The Last Mecha

Chapter 9

At night, the sun at the end of the horizon took away the old blush that covered the sky and the earth, and the dark sky covered the entire Jiangsong like a huge cover.

If you look down from the sky, you will see countless thousands of households with faint lights floating, not bright enough to illuminate the city.In this era, Jiangsong’s public lighting system is not well developed. Only a few main roads are brightly lit. It is best for ordinary people to carry lighting tools when they go to the street, lest after walking a certain road, the moon will hide in the clouds and suddenly become dark in front of them.

But even so, it can't stop people's desire to have fun. Teahouses and casinos are at their peak at this time.Even the Tiger Stove, which was born for the poor, has an endless stream of people with towels on their shoulders.Spending a few copper coins to take a comfortable hot bath, ordering penny peanuts and low-quality distilled wine for an hour or so is the most relaxing moment of their day.

The Wu family in the Shikumen house should also enter the rest time at this time, but as soon as Wu Gou entered the door, he heard the eldest sister Wu Jingting arguing.

"Mrs. Gao, don't go too far. The green vegetables you sent last week, do you want to go back today? Can your green leafy vegetables last for so long?"

Wu Jingting had her hips crossed, and the woman in front of her, who was a head shorter than her, was from the Gao family next door, with an aggrieved expression on her face.

"It's really not possible, why don't you give some money?" She rubbed her fingers and suggested.

"Hey, did you treat our house as a vegetable market? And you guys do business like this? Can you show some face as a human being?"

"Hey, didn't your family's Wu Gou want to make friends with noble people before, I thought I would give you a congratulatory gift. But today, I heard that the housekeeper said on the way that week was dismissed, and my husband insisted on asking me to come back. , otherwise I will never stop complaining to me. It’s just a little green vegetables, you can just change some money and forget it.”

"you"

Before Wu Jingting could get angry, she suddenly saw Wu Gou who was entering the door, and hurriedly pushed and shoved the woman out.

In the end, I heard Mrs. Gao's loud voice coming from outside the door, "Be considerate and considerate. Life is hard for everyone these days. If you don't return, I will come back tomorrow. Not only me, everyone will ask you to return the things you sent out. of!"

There was a pair of siblings left in the room, looking at each other silently.

"Because of me." Wu Gou said.

"It's not your fault, don't think too much." Wu Jingting said softly, "My sister is here, don't worry about them."

"I'll pay the money back tomorrow."

"The family is already nervous enough, not to mention what they gave away, just a few copper coins. I am not used to this kind of people."

"I don't need it at home, I can earn it."

"You—" Wu Jingting just wanted to refute, but her expression softened again in the next second, "Forget it, I'll pay back the few copper coins from my salary, don't do stupid things."

"I'm not doing something stupid. I'm serious. If there are no accidents, I'll go home with at least 80 yuan by this time tomorrow. I'll buy a roast chicken, or pig's trotter sauce beef or something, and I'll give you some supplements." Wu Gou said seriously, and then looked at the blue-haired elder sister, "Actually, I am more worried about you now than myself. Didn't the first day of work in the dyeing workshop go well?"

If you observe carefully, you will find that half of her cheeks are slightly red and swollen, and the edges are blue, probably washed with cold water.

"What are you talking about?" Wu Jingting thought she was covering it up well, but she couldn't help but panicked in her tone, "Of course it went smoothly, quite smoothly, the people there are very nice, and the money is fair too. Very good, really good, you don't need to worry about me at all."

"Since you said that, I'll treat you as fine. But if you can't hold on, you can go to your father. If you are embarrassed, you can also go to me. I will help you find a way. I am your brother, we are family."

He looked at the eldest sister who hadn't spoken for a long time, thought for a while and added, "Also, don't think that parents are fools, I can tell, they will only look more carefully than me, and problems will have to be resolved sooner or later. , don't think that forbearance will change anything."

After the meal, Wu Gou went back to his room and sighed. In the end, the eldest sister still didn't tell what happened to her. He kept asking questions because of his status as a younger brother, and he was also very busy. there are many.

Under the bed was a pair of broken qi metal gauntlets, and it was not yet time for it to appear.

He listened carefully to the movements in the next room, and before nine o'clock in the evening, the house was completely quiet.The last movement happened 10 minutes ago. The younger brother Wu Yong yelled strangely, followed by noisy footsteps being chased by the eldest sister Wu Jingting, but it soon subsided.Most of the family members are already ready to go to bed, and they are fully prepared for the busy day next day.

So Wu Gou stood up, took a deep breath, his body sank slightly, his left arm was placed around his waist, and his right hand was clenched in a fist across the center, then a force rose along his chest, the fist was thrown out fiercely, but halfway through Turning palms, chopping diagonally to make the sound of howling wind.

Fist the mother, and the eagle catches it!
It looked menacing on the outside, but Wu Gou shook his head involuntarily.The difference is too far, the fist is soft and frustrated, there is no change in strength between virtual and real light and dark at all, let alone the spirit of form and spirit.

The feeling of exertion surged up, and he even felt a dull pain in his arms and chest. Most of the strength of the internal boxing came from between the waist and chest. The principles of boxing are clear, and there is not much advantage in fighting with peers except experience.

Before practicing martial arts, this body is too weak. Before supplementing nutrition to strengthen his physique to a certain level, the only thing he can do now is to nourish Qi.

The cultivation of qi that Wu Gou thinks of is not the training of qi in traditional martial arts.Such sayings as "receiving qi in the sky to nourish the essence, moving qi in the body to unblock the meridians, using luck in the skin to protect the body, and using qi in the bones to defeat the enemy" all require the support of strong muscles, bones and skin membranes. The same is true for physical training, but you can't pull out the seedlings.

The so-called nourishing qi is a knowledge formed by later oriental scholars who combined the theory of yin and yang and five elements with the study of acupoints and meridians in traditional Chinese medicine and the human body.

Children from wealthy families in later generations will be invited by their parents to teach them how to nourish Qi after they are five years old. In this way, even if they do not undergo martial arts and pharmacological adjustments, their energy levels can often reach double digits at the end of puberty .It's just after 10, it's up to each other.

He drank a cup of boiling water from the Tiger Stove, took advantage of the warmth pouring into his body, briefly moved his joints and muscles, and sat back on the head of the bed again.

After a busy day, although he has achieved more than half of his income, his energy level is still a pitiful 0.82, and the distance between 10 and [-] is like heaven and earth. If you want to change, you can only start with nourishing energy, and you can't waste a day.

Wu Gou took a deep breath and sat cross-legged on the straw mat. He closed his eyes, consciously following the hot air that flowed into his body along with the boiling water. context transformation.

In his previous life, he had learned a lot in martial arts and aura, and he was also an expert in the method of nourishing qi. It is known as the most elementary state of nourishing Qi of Caprice.

Under the guidance of others, it usually takes a beginner more than a month to gradually grasp this feeling, and stay in the realm of imagination for more than five years, and the cognition and experience brought by Wu Gou have come in handy at this moment.

In an instant, Wu Gou only felt as if he was in a warm ocean current. With the fluctuations in his body, his lower abdomen showed an opposite contraction and expansion with the repetition of inhalation and exhalation, and he could vaguely hear his own pain. Heartbeat and blood flow.
In such a half-dream and half-awake state, Wu Gou's face went back and forth from red with exuberant blood to pale with lack of blood, and the blood was washing his body over and over again in his body. reward.

This will be his first step into the Qi realm.
