Qi Concubine's Cultivation Notes in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 4

Looking around the whole firewood house, it is extremely simple, it is not accurate to say that it is a firewood house, the building of this room is not small, the east corner is the stove, and the west corner is the place where Li Yunting sleeps, also serving as the firewood house.The place for Li Yunting to sleep is far away from the stove, covered with thick straw, and the slightly bulging place where Li Yunting is combed is the "pillow" that Li Yunting sleeps on. The cup is for her to drink water, and there is a chipped bowl for her to eat. There is a small half of a black-faced cornbread in it, which she probably left for dinner at night.Look at the blackness of the stove, because I don't eat much meat and vegetables on weekdays, so it doesn't look greasy.

Because she had just combed the aura in her body, her stomach was empty, and she kept growling. The whole skin was swollen and cracked, making Li Yunting walk slowly.After eating half of the black-faced corn-tou, I immediately felt a lot more comfortable. Just after the black-faced corn-tou was eaten, the cock crowed.For other ascetics, after the foundation-building period, they would eat Bigu pills, and Li Yunting's pills would be broken and they would have a hard time practicing again, so this time is not bad.Furthermore, those who practice immortality, especially those who practice asceticly like Li Yunting, never care about their appetites.

The crowing of cocks in the countryside has always been like this. After one rooster crows, the rest of the roosters crow one after another, and a new day begins again.

Pushing open the creaking firewood door, the thin sun in the east has not yet burst out, but only a shallow light in the sky. The thin light outlines the undulating mountains in the distance. This village is surrounded by mountains. Only when there are roads and roads can we trade In this way, you can only go in and out along the mountain road. The village is a custom of its own. It is difficult for outsiders to come in and they will not think about it. It is also difficult for people inside to go out. Some of the people have gone on crooked ways, and the atmosphere in this village has become more and more dishonest.Because few people are literate and more ignorant, they don't treat girls as human beings, but only as goods and sell them, and girls born in their own families are also bought and sold as goods.

Taking the pole leaning against the wall and two water poles, Li Yunting walked along the route in her memory, thinking that if she entered the third level of Qi training soon, she could use the water pumping technique to divert water to the water tank, saving money. Carrying water for the next half hour, you can practice more.

The people who came to fetch water in the morning were all girls like Li Yunting, who had not been doing farm work for a long time, and had to get up early to fetch water. The woman came to draw water.Under the same blue sky, with the same breath and the same fate, it can be said that they are all poor people. Li Yunting carried the burden steadily, and when she saw a young man carrying a bucket of water, she thought so.However, Li Yunting set her sights on these women again, why would she still embark on such a career after having her own child?

"Li Siya." A slightly hesitant voice called Li Yunting beside her.The names of the girls here are without exception their own surnames plus a girl. People in a village look down and see each other. If a new girl is kidnapped, just add a number in the middle.Some are born poor, but they are still used to it, but they are as prosperous as Li Yunting, and when they first entered this nightmare, they were not used to it, and their name was one of them.

"Liu Sanya?" Li Yunting looked at the little girl in front of her who was as tall as her and was carrying a burden. She also looked pretty, but because of the poor food, her body under the clothes seemed a little empty.

"You?" Liu Sanya looked at Li Yunting and was startled, "You..." At first glance, I felt that my old friend had changed a lot, but after careful observation, I felt that his appearance hadn't changed much from before. . "It looks good..."

"No change." Li Yunting said lightly.After doing some activities and combing the aura in the body, the pain like tearing the skin has disappeared a lot. If it used to be, it would have required sitting cross-legged for half a day to recuperate, but it is rare to be free after the cock crows.Fortunately, as she has experience in Taoism, she can also comb the aura in her body while working.

"Oh." Liu Sanya replied dully, always feeling that the friends in the past are much colder than in the past, especially when the fever subsided and started working a while ago, the whole person is like a sword drawn out of its sheath, It makes people feel a little embarrassed from the bottom of their hearts, but now the lake under the calm water surface looks calm.The children of poor families have been in charge of the family early, just like Li Yunting. Liu Sanya was originally from a well-to-do family. The situation is very different from the past, and people have grown up. It is just watching Li Yunting's expression that she is more at ease.The delicate cheeks are as fair as the fine ceramics, "You turned white?"

Li Yunting glanced at her, her observation was meticulous, because her body was much fairer after removing the impurities in her body, but she said softly: "I was sick a few days ago, and my blood color has faded a little."

Liu Sanya looked carefully again, and found that Li Yunting's skin was pale. She thought she was just recovering from a serious illness, and felt sorry for her.Immediately, he thought that he was in such a situation, who could be more pitiful?For a moment the two were speechless.Just carrying the water and walking slowly, there is only a creaking sound.

"Li Yaqian..." Liu Sanya whispered the name of Li Yunting's body.

Li Yunting sighed when she heard such a voice, she didn't want to forget the past days, only in the early morning when there was no one around, the two would call each other's name and talk about the past.

"Liu Zhilan." Li Yunting softly called her name.

No matter how many times she hears such calls, Liu Sanya will always have tears in her eyes, she only dares to let the tears roll in her eyes, never dares to let the tears fall, if there are traces left, she will be beaten when she goes back, if she really wants to live like this To survive in such an environment, we need to abandon all the past, but how can we forget the past?How dare you forget?
"I, I..." Liu Zhilan twitched her lips. Li Yaqian's state was too wrong in the past ten days, and she was in a hurry every day. She hadn't heard this strange but familiar name for several days.

"Call me Li Yunting." Suddenly Li Yunting said.

"You?" Liu Zhilan was startled, she said that it was like them who were kidnapped and stayed as child brides-in-law, some who refused to let go of the past like her, some who gave up the past, and some who lost their minds Bewildered, the last one is often the adult man in the family asks for his innocence, and then wraps it in a straw mat and throws it to the back mountain.No one has spare money to support such a lost soul.So Li Yunting suddenly wanted to change her name, which shocked her, and her voice choked up, "Are you going to let go of the past?" The voice was small and low, and a dozen girls were left behind together. In the past two years, she and Li Yunting are the only ones who have insisted on their hopes.

"Don't dare to forget." Li Yunting said lightly.These are the predestined ways left behind by her predecessors, and these causes and effects need to be understood one by one after she leaves the village, so how can they forget each other?

"Then you?" Liu Zhilan was a little puzzled in her heart, but because Li Yunting's indifferent expression gave her a dose of calming medicine, among this group of people, she was not the only one like her, there were others like her, In the mud, the heart is bright.

"It's just a name change." Li Yunting said, "Nothing has changed." She just sighed in her heart, how could there be no change.

"Oh." Liu Zhilan nodded ignorantly, and the haze in her heart dispelled.

A total of three loads of water were picked up, and the fire in the stove was raised. Li Yunting felt that it would be better to raise her cultivation level as soon as possible. Although the body in this sentence has a single water spirit root, the effect of using other types of fairy arts will be much weaker. , Few people will learn it, but she has learned the fire magic in her previous life, but it is the simplest fireball technique, it can be thrown into the stove, and the fire can be raised, but at least she needs to enter the second level of Qi training layers.

It took about a stick of incense to light up the stove, put a pot of boiled water aside for later use, and roll up my sleeves, wipe the sweat from my forehead, and start preparing for cooking.Because of some plant ash, the originally fair cheeks became gray, covering Li Yunting's own expression.

When she put the stewed vermicelli and steamed cornbread in the hall, Mrs. Wang had already used the water drawn by Li Yunting in the yard to wash, and was wiping her wet hands with a coarse cloth.

Seeing Li Yunting in the hall, an unknown fire rose in his heart, "Little Hoof, why is there so little water today?"

When Wang put his hands on his waist, he showed a bit of aggressiveness.Because those who can stay in the village as daughters-in-law are all beautiful. They had a baby at the age of 14 and gave birth to a child at the age of 15. Now they are only in their twenties. At that time, she had a slender waist, a bulging chest, and a few strands of jet-black long hair curled up and down her cheeks. She was charming, her melon-seeded face had good features, and Li Yaqian had dipped her cup into the marrow washing pool earlier. Water, the spirit of the whole person is full.It's just that this pungentness greatly weakened her temperament.Li Yunting looked at his expression and saw that he was full of vitality.

Li Yunting lowered her eyes, she woke up when the cock crowed just like her predecessor, but the pain in her body made her drink less water than before, naturally the water in the water tank was not as much as before.

When Wang saw Li Yunting, she felt even more suffocated. Thinking that she had been abused by her mother-in-law before, she stepped forward and grabbed Li Yunting's ears, and slapped Li Yunting's ears. She immediately felt a lot more at ease. "Little hooves, I'm making you lazy! You eat more than pigs, and when you're ordered to do your work, you get sick. You're going to die!"

Li Yunting covered her cheeks, her eyes darkened, and she smiled lightly. For thousands of years, even when she was at her most downcast, no one would dare to bully her like this.

Seeing that Li Yunting smiled lightly instead, and there was no murder-like hatred in her eyes, she suddenly felt bored.Mrs. Wang pushed Li Yunting back, clapped her hands, "Bitch, get out." Originally, Mrs. Wang would think of thousands of strategies to grind Li Yunting's temper, especially after she had a fever some time ago, The temper that had already been trained almost started to be aggressive again. The whole person has a resentful and violent temperament and small movements such as gritting teeth. Naturally, Wang will not be wrong.Seeing Li Yunting chuckle now, it seemed that the matter was calm and calm, and it was a big deal for her to hold her, which made Wang herself feel that her outburst was a bit boring, so she pushed Li Yunting away disgruntled. Yun Ting is gone.

"What are you doing so early in the morning?" With a slightly hoarse voice, Li Yunting turned her head and was taken aback when she saw the visitor.
