Li Lianhua's chest heaved, but she finally accepted her fate.
"You can call me whatever you want."
He took Zhou Chen's manuscript with a desperate look and began to read it carefully.
At first he didn't care much, but the more he looked at her, the more solemn and serious her expression became.
After a long time, he slowly raised his head.
"Ah Chen, I can't tell where your internal energy method comes from, but I can be sure that this is a first-rate internal energy method in the entire martial arts world. Especially the nature of the internal energy cultivated is similar to the Yangzhou Slow that I practice."
This was also what shocked him the most. Everyone in the martial arts world knew that his Yangzhou Man was the most yang and pure top-notch martial art in the world. Although this Pure Yang Jue was not as good as Yangzhou Man, the internal force cultivated from it was the same as Yangzhou Man, both of which were of the most yang and pure nature.
However, the same thing is that the Pure Yang Jue, like the Yangzhou Man, requires relatively high qualifications from the practitioner, and people with poor talents simply cannot practice it.
Zhou Chen understood what Li Lianhua meant. The Pure Yang Art was of very high quality and was not weak in this world, but it was still inferior to the most top-level internal skills, such as Yangzhou Slow.
This result did not surprise Zhou Chen. After all, there was a gap between the martial arts level in the Langya Bang world and this world.
The Pure Yang Technique is the most powerful internal energy technique in that world, but due to the limitations of that world, it is not surprising that it cannot compare to the best internal energy technique in this world.
"Really? It seems that the inheritance I got is quite good. I can continue to practice with peace of mind."
Although Zhou Chen was also very curious about Yangzhou Man, he had never thought of asking Li Lianhua for it. Chunyang Jue was the internal energy method he was most familiar with, and he was confident that he could cultivate it to the perfect state in the shortest time possible.
If it were Yangzhou which is slower, then it would be hard to say.
With Li Lianhua's evaluation, Zhou Chen practiced harder. In addition to practicing internal skills, Li Lianhua's guidance in practicing fists, kicks and weapons also gave him great inspiration, which deepened his understanding of martial arts.
On this day, when Zhou Chen and Li Lianhua came to the beach, they suddenly found a dilapidated ship washed up on the beach.
When Li Lianhua saw this half of the ship, his face changed suddenly. He recognized that this was the big ship that Di Feisheng was on when he had a decisive battle with him that day.
"You were also rushed here. Is it fate?"
"Do you know this ship?"
"Ah."
Li Lianhua nodded, then looked around the hull, but did not find any bodies. Some parts of the hull had been severely damaged, but some parts were still in good condition.
Looking at Li Lianhua's actions, Zhou Chen also had a guess in his mind. The reason why Lotus Building is called Lotus Building is because Li Lianhua has a movable RV called Lotus Building. According to the plot, Li Lianhua's Lotus Building was built with Di Feisheng's hull, so it must be this ship.
Sure enough, a few days later, Li Lianhua didn't want to waste the wood that was delivered to her door, so she prepared to build a movable residence and told Zhou Chen about her idea.
Of course Zhou Chen would not object, and he also said that he had experience in construction and could help him build it.
If it were just Li Lianhua, it would probably take at least two or three years to build the RV Lotus Building like the one in the plot. But with Zhou Chen, the master architect, things would be different.
Although he is better at modern building construction, he is also familiar with ancient architecture. More importantly, he has the skills of a master builder, and the buildings built by him will be more solid.
Building a building is not something that can be done right from the start. Since Li Lianhua knew nothing about this, Zhou Chen did the preliminary work, the most important of which was the design drawings.
Based on the model of the Lotus Building in the plot, Zhou Chen added his own ideas and planned to expand the Lotus Building a little bit. After all, after it was completed, he would also have half of the property rights, and of course he had to be more careful about the place where he would live.
The world's number one master has now become a lumberjack. He rolled up his sleeves and chopped wood with an axe under Zhou Chen's command.
His hands kept moving and he started mumbling.
"Achen, I feel like you really don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young. After all, I'm two years older than you, and I taught you martial arts, so I'm half your master. I'm so weak now, and you still let me do this kind of rough work, isn't that too cruel?"
Zhou Chen carefully laid the foundation. Although it was a movable small building, he still had to lay a good foundation. This was also the most important step. If the bottom was not solid, it would collapse before it could move far.
"I asked you to do some work, but why are you talking so much nonsense? Isn't your mouth idle? Your body is weak, but not to the point where you can't move. If you don't work every day, you will get rusty sooner or later. I'm doing this for your own good, but you're blaming me. I'm also half a teacher. To be honest, I'm teaching you medical skills, so shouldn't I let you call me master?"
Li Lianhua shouted, "I just said a few words, but you came back with a bunch of words. If we really talk, you're more talkative than me."
"That's all I can say, but don't stop using the axe."
"I'm tired, take a rest, Achen, I want to drink some water, give me the kettle."
A kettle hit Li Lianhua in the face, and Zhou Chen cursed: "You can't drink it to death, you can only do such a small job, you are either thirsty, or your hands and stomach hurt, you have so many troubles."
Li Lianhua ignored Zhou Chen and gulped down water.
"Ha, it feels good, Achen. My arms are too sore today, and I definitely won't be able to cook when I go back home. So I'll go to your house for dinner today."
"Shut up and work."
"Just work, why are you shouting so loudly?"
Li Lianhua felt aggrieved and sighed, then had to pick up the axe and continue working.
I sighed in my heart, thinking that he was once the world
Chapter 1074 Lotus Tower, Return of Favor
After a busy day, the two slowly walked towards Chenjia Village after dark.
Along the way, Li Lianhua kept rubbing her arms and legs, her face full of fatigue and pain.
"Really, Achen, I never felt this tired when I was practicing with my master. It turns out that work is so tiring. I finally understand the hardships of those lower-class people."
Zhou Chen looked at him with contempt: "With the amount of work you do in a day, you still have the nerve to say such things? I asked you to go fishing with me, but you complained. I asked you to cook, but you still complained. You even needed me and Grandpa Chen to help you water the vegetables you planted. You keep eating for free every other day. Your face is getting thicker and thicker."
Li Lianhua laughed dryly and had no way to refute because what Zhou Chen said was true.
But he had no choice. He had never done these things before and he was just learning how to do them, so he was sure he wouldn't do them well.
"It's not that I don't want to go fishing with you, but you know I'm weak now. If I get seasick on the boat, you'll have to take care of me. In order not to cause you any trouble, I'd rather not go."
"Then I still have to thank you?"
Li Lianhua laughed and said, "No need. What is our relationship? We are half-brothers, and we are the same."
Zhou Chen rolled his eyes. This guy learns very quickly. Ever since they got to know each other, Li Lianhua has become more and more shameless.
"Xiaohua, has your green tea poison taken effect recently?"
Despite all the quarrels and arguments, after a few months of getting along, the relationship between the two is still very good.
Zhou Chen knew that the green tea poison in Li Lianhua's body had not been eliminated. Although she had been treated by Master Wu Liao and suppressed by Yangzhou's slow internal force, it would still erupt occasionally. Although it was not fatal, it would still make Li Lianhua suffer excruciating pain.
Li Lianhua replied indifferently: "Fortunately, it's not that serious."
Zhou Chen knew that he was pretending to be relaxed. The harm caused by the green tea poison to him now might not be as great as it would be in a few years, but it would still be fatal when it broke out. However, every time an attack occurred, he would hide by himself.
"Just be brave. Although my power is still weak now, I can still use my inner strength to help you control the attack when you have it. Don't try to hold on by yourself."
Li Lianhua smiled and replied, "Okay, when I can't help it, I will definitely look for you."
"It's up to you. It's your body anyway. If you want to degrade it, I can't do anything about it. At worst, when you're gone, I'll go to your grave and burn paper and offer wine."
"Are you still a human being, Achen? At my age as beautiful as a flower, you start cursing me to death?" Li Lianhua shouted angrily.
Zhou Chen sneered, "Don't think that I don't know because you are hiding it from me. I can still see how strong the green tea poison in your body is. If you don't take care of your body, it's hard to say whether you can live for ten years."
Li Lianhua looked at Zhou Chen in astonishment. He knew that Zhou Chen's medical skills were good because he was currently learning medicine from Zhou Chen. Whenever he had questions about the medical books he read, he would ask Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen could answer most of his questions.
But Zhou Chen had not examined his body carefully, yet he was able to judge his current physical condition.
"It's not as exaggerated as you say. Don't I know my own body clearly?"
"hehe."
Li Lianhua scratched her head in embarrassment and didn't dare to continue talking. The more she talked, the more mistakes she would make. Zhou Chen was not someone who could be easily fooled.
…………
one year later!
There was a light rain in the sky. Zhou Chen stood silently in front of a tombstone. He had been standing there for several hours.
Li Lianhua came over with an umbrella and shielded Zhou Chen from the rain.
"The dead are gone, and the old village chief doesn't want to see you like this. In fact, he has no regrets about being buried with his wife and children. This is what he hoped for."
The old village chief Chen, who had taken Zhou Chen in for several years, passed away a few days ago. The villagers of the entire village came to see him off. In the end, Zhou Chen buried him personally next to his wife and children. The tombstone was also carved by Zhou Chen stroke by stroke.
"I have long been accustomed to separation and death. I am just lamenting the fragility of life. The person who was talking to you one moment may be gone the next. This result is indeed the best ending for Grandpa Chen."
"I hope you can think it through. I've cooked dinner. Come back and I'll have a drink with you."
"Huh, with your alcohol tolerance?"
"Don't look down on me. I can drink a lot more now. I once suspected that when you drank with me, did you use your internal energy to force out the alcohol?"
"Do you think I'd be as shameless as you? The more I drink that kind of wine, the more sober I get."
"I thought I was crazy enough until I met you."
Zhou Chen and Li Lianhua exchanged words with each other as their figures walked further and further away, leaving only the increasingly quiet forest.
In Chenjia Village, there stands a very special two-story wooden building, which has long been accustomed to by the villagers coming and going.
When Zhou Chen and Li Lianhua brought back the two-story building, it caused a huge sensation in the village, and all the villagers came to watch and marvel.
But after a long time, everyone got used to it, and they would only occasionally take a few curious glances when passing by, especially the children, who loved to run into the building to play.
When the building was completed, Li Lianhua asked Zhou Chen to name it. Zhou Chen said "Lotus Building" without hesitation, which surprised Li Lianhua.
However, Zhou Chen decided with one vote that the name of this building would be Lotus Building.
The building covers an area of about 120 square meters, and the second floor is slightly smaller, about 70 square meters.
The space between Zhou Chen and Li Lianhua was evenly distributed, with Li Lianhua living on the first floor and Zhou Chen living on the second floor.
Originally, Li Lianhua wanted to give the larger first floor to Zhou Chen, since Zhou Chen made the greatest contribution to the completion of this building. However, Zhou Chen insisted on living on the second floor, and Li Lianhua could not refuse and had to agree.
On the first floor of Lotus Building, Zhou Chen and Li Lianhua sat together to eat.
Li Lianhua said, "The building has been completed. What we lack now is the horses to pull it. For a building like ours, we will probably need at least six horses, and they have to be of good breed."
Zhou Chen nodded. He was the one who built the Lotus Tower, so he naturally knew best how much it weighed.
Just to make it easier to pull, he did not choose stronger bricks and stones. If it were built entirely with bricks and stones, it is estimated that even ten horses would not be able to pull this two-story building.
"This is a small place after all. It's not easy to buy a suitable horse. So, you go buy the horse, and I'm going to do something."
"What are you going to do?" Li Lianhua asked puzzledly.
"Return a favor."
As he spoke, a beautiful figure involuntarily emerged in Zhou Chen's mind. Although three years had passed, he had not forgotten the favor of the ingot of silver.
"Oh."
Li Lianhua did not ask further questions, but asked another question: "Have you really decided to leave here with me?"
Zhou Chen said: "Well, there is nothing worth staying here, it's time to leave."
"As long as you don't regret it, I will take care of the horse issue. You should also finish what you need to do as soon as possible."
"Okay, come back and meet up then."
…………
Once again he came to Linhai County, where he traveled to this world, so he cared differently about this place.
When he arrived at the county government office, he was surprised to find that the county magistrate had been replaced. The last time he came to the county was three months ago. It should not be time for a change of appointment yet, right?
So he came to a roadside stall not far from the county government office, ordered a bowl of wonton, and pretended to ask the owner casually.
"Boss, I want to ask you something."
The roadside stall owner wiped his hands on his clothes and said with a simple face: "Please ask, sir."
"I remember when I came to Linhai County a few months ago, the county magistrate seemed to be Lord Gu, but I just heard from passers-by that the county magistrate has been replaced?"
Hearing that Zhou Chen was talking about the county magistrate, the boss glanced around and then whispered, "It's a change of people. Two months ago, Lord Gu's house was searched. I heard that he seemed to have committed a crime. We don't know what it was, but we only know that Lord Gu was beheaded in public, and the male members of his family were exiled to the frontier, while the female members were sent to the county government's Jiaofangsi, demoted to low status, and became slaves and prostitutes of the Jiaofangsi."
Zhou Chen's hand holding the chopsticks paused.
"Is that so? I didn't expect that something like this would happen after not coming here for a few months."
"Who says it's not true? In fact, Lord Gu was a really good official in the past. Alas, this world..."
The boss just expressed his feelings and didn't dare to say anything more.
After Zhou Chen finished eating, he put down a few copper coins and left.
The Daxi Dynasty is the orthodox dynasty in the Central Plains today. Its jurisdiction is divided into states, counties, and prefectures, which are similar to provinces, cities, and counties in modern society. There are a total of thirteen states in the world.
Zhou Chen asked around a few more times from other places, and the answers he got were similar to what the roadside stall owner said. There was no Jiaofangsi in Linhai County, so the women of the Gu family must have been taken to the Jiaofangsi in the county government.
Zhou Chen rode his horse towards the county government without any hesitation. He came to the county town before leaving just to repay the favor of one silver coin. Now that the women of the Gu family were sent to the Music Bureau and the young lady of the Gu family was in trouble, he certainly could not sit idly by.
