Cultivation: Start with Inviting Gods

The sheep was still young, but the weather was very good.

Jiang Nanhe turned over, got off the lamb, raised his hand and stretched, his green robe swayed in the breeze, and the scent of medicine spread around.

Village chief Liu, who was leading the way in front, smelled the faint scent of medicine and felt much more relaxed. Even the children around him looked at Jiang Nanhe with curiosity, and they didn't say anything, just stared at him.

Jiang Nanhe saw these children's eyebrows curved, probably because he was not very old now, and he still had a good impression of these little guys.

Although the children in the village lived a bit more naturally because they had no teachers to supervise them, and their clothes were not very clean, this did not affect Jiang Nanhe's perception of them.

He rummaged through the package on the back of the lamb and took out a small ceramic jar. He shook the jar and a rustling sound came from the jar.

"Village Chief Liu, this jar contains some maltose I made myself. Children in the village rarely eat sweet food. I will share this candy with them to moisten their mouths."

When Village Chief Liu heard what Jiang Nanhe said, he paused and then looked at Jiang Nanhe with some surprise.

He took the jar from Jiang Nanhe with a smile in his eyes, opened the jar with a smiling face, and the sweet smell of the candy in the jar made him a little dazed.

He bent down and distributed some candy to the children. Normally, a normal and cautious person should be wary and distrustful of strangers he met for the first time, but when Village Chief Liu saw Jiang Nanhe for the first time, he felt that this child was unusual.

Besides, there were not many adults in the village now. The young and strong had all gone to the county town today. Only he, this group of children and some elderly people with limited mobility were there.

He was already very old, but he had been outside, met many people, and knew more.

When he saw Jiang Nanhe for the first time, he knew that this child was kind-hearted. How should I put it? Intuition, right?

Although sometimes the appearance cannot clearly see a person's inner heart, most people in this dynasty are still very simple.

The children carefully took a few small square candies from Village Chief Liu. They were specially made by Jiang Nanhe for easy carrying and eating.

The children took the candies and did not eat them immediately. Instead, they ran back home happily, apparently wanting to share them with their families.

Jiang Nanhe looked at their backs with curved eyebrows. In the small temple carried by the lamb behind him, the ghost children surrounded by light white smoke bit their little fingers indignantly.

They also wanted to eat candy, but Jiang Nanhe only let them eat it three times a week, and Jiang Nanhe also offered them a lot of vegetables every time, which they didn't like.

The general heard the noise and slowly opened his eyes from the temple.

He looked at the indignant little guys around him and was a little speechless.

Maybe these guys have become ghosts, so they still have a strong desire to possess certain things, and they need to be taught at this time.

Thinking of this, the general silently took out a small ruler. When the ghost children around saw the ruler, they were so scared that they trembled and hugged each other, and then were driven back to Futian by the general.

There is a small classroom for them in Futian. When the general is free, he will teach them something. But unfortunately, these little guys died too young, and there is no older person to teach them. So they naturally feel that the general's teachings are like devilish sounds, and they are very scared.

Jiang Nanhe naturally noticed the indignation of the little ghosts, and he sighed helplessly in his heart.

Many of those little guys died of starvation. They really can't control their appetite, but they have to control it. Every time he offers sacrifices, he will offer different foods, just to let them experience the taste of the world, so as to soothe the resentment of starvation in their hearts, and strive not to be a starving ghost, so as to reincarnate, but unfortunately the effect is very limited.

Village Chief Liu led the way in front with a wooden stick, and Jiang Nanhe followed behind him with the lamb. The two talked while walking, and the topic of conversation was also very interesting.

"I wonder how old this young doctor is this year, where does he live? Why did he suddenly come to our remote village?"

Village Chief Liu's words were somewhat curious. It was impossible not to be curious. After all, Jiang Nanhe was too young to venture out alone, which always made people feel distressed or pity.

Listening to Village Chief Liu's questions, Jiang Nanhe smiled indifferently.

"I am only a yellow-headed man this year, and I just turned ten. But don't look at my young age, but I have studied medicine for seven or eight years. Although I am not an expert in treating patients, I have some methods.

But old man, I see that you are in good health, but your beard and hair are gray. You look quite old. I wonder how old you are this year?"

Jiang Nanhe was a little curious, mainly because the temperament of the old man in front of him was not like that of an ordinary mountain man. Instead, he looked like the wandering knights with different pursuits in his memory, right? Very similar, this temperament is very special, but it is indeed somewhat out of tune with the surroundings.

Village Chief Liu listened to Jiang Nanhe's questions and answers, touched his beard, and smiled.

"I am 66 this year, and it just so happens that I will be 67 in a month. Little doctor, why don't you attend my birthday party before leaving, so that I can ask you for a happy birthday."

Jiang Nanhe looked at the old man unexpectedly. He didn't expect that Village Chief Liu was already 66 years old. You know, in ancient times when people were in their 40s or 50s, 66 years old was considered old.

"That's great. I hope you don't mind me bothering you."

Jiang Nanhe was naturally very happy to be invited to his birthday party. He originally planned to stop and rest for a while, so he would not refuse Village Chief Liu's request.

The reason for this was because of Futian.

Village Chief Liu was naturally happy to hear Jiang Nanhe's happy agreement. He smiled and took Jiang Nanhe to the ancestral hall in the village.

It was called an ancestral hall, but it was actually a stone house that was slightly better than the surrounding houses. There were tablets of their ancestors inside, and there were also some vacant rooms next to the ancestral hall.

These rooms are usually used to store food or to provide a temporary place for people in the village who cannot make a living or have problems at home and cannot find other places to stay.

The room is relatively clean, and Jiang Nanhe can live there directly after cleaning up. Besides, the area in front of the ancestral hall is very open, and they usually dry food there.

Village Chief Liu thinks that Jiang Nanhe really needs that kind of place. After all, Jiang Nanhe said that he came here for free medical treatment. When people from all over the country hear about it, they will definitely want to come and join in the fun. If there are many people, a large space is needed. Otherwise, Jiang Nanhe will feel suffocated if he goes to other places.

Jiang Nanhe is still very satisfied with the arrangement of Village Chief Liu, but there are still some things missing. He thought about it and asked Village Chief Liu if he could borrow a few tables and chairs to put some things.

Village Chief Liu is naturally willing. He asked Jiang Nanhe about the things he lacked, and then went to notify others with his crutches.

Jiang Nanhe looked at the vigorous figure of Village Chief Liu and couldn't help but sigh that he had a really good mentality. When they were chatting just now, Village Chief Liu said that he had also gone out to make a living when he was young.

But he didn't go too far. When he was young, he went out to learn skills and learned carpentry from others. He could make some furniture and so on.

His skills are good and he is quite popular in the surrounding area. But now he is old, and this skill will naturally not last long.

But he has a good mentality. After all, if his mentality is not good, he can't live to this age. He is about to celebrate his 67th birthday, which is very uncommon in this dynasty. Sometimes even the emperor can't live to this age.

Moreover, when Village Chief Liu celebrates his birthday at this age, there will often be some dignitaries in the city who will send gifts or something, which is considered to be a celebration and a blessing. It will definitely be very lively at that time. Jiang Nanhe is looking forward to the birthday banquet.
