The Golden Phoenix of the Su Family Has Flown Out in the 1960s

After finishing the college entrance examination, Su Yuhe became a vegetative state because she saved a cat. After lying there for a year, she time-traveled and became Su He from Nanshan Village, w...

Chapter 6 Great Strength

After lying in bed for the rest of the afternoon, Su He felt much better when she woke up the next day.

Just as her aunt had said, the original owner's health had always been very good. She had rarely been sick since childhood. This time, she probably really suffered, but after lying in bed for so many days, she had almost recovered.

The first thing Su He did after getting up was to go to the toilet. As for the dry toilets in the countryside... well, she won't go into details, but it was definitely a painful experience.

What's even harder is that there's no toilet paper. To use the toilet, you have to use a corncob, which is the part left after the corn kernels have been removed. And you can't use a whole one at a time. This thing can also be used as firewood, so it's quite rare. Usually, a corncob is split into four pieces, and you have to use it sparingly.

It stings when you use it.

But there's no other way; every household does it this way now. It's better than using sticks and leaves.

Su He forced herself to finish the session.

After coming out, she washed her hands several times and found the well in the yard quite interesting. She had only seen this kind of old-fashioned hand pump well in TV dramas before, but she did know the principle of drawing water.

Intrigued, he went over, scooped a ladle of water from the water vat next to him, poured it in, and then pressed down hard with the wooden handle.

As soon as he applied force, the wooden handle suddenly snapped with a "crack"...

Su He stood there, stunned...

Just then, Grandma Su came out and, seeing the situation, said, "Why are you going to fetch water again? Are you feeling better? Didn't I tell you you don't need to press this anymore? Go back to your room and rest. When your father comes back, he can make you a new handle."

Su He returned to the house in a daze, only then remembering that the original owner of the body had broken it a few times before.

Wells are rare, especially push-button wells like this one, because they use a lot of iron. It was a lot of effort to install one in the house, and we always handle them with great care. Unfortunately, the original owner broke the handle several times.

Later, her family wouldn't let her fetch water anymore.

The reason for this was the original owner's great strength.

Yes, although it wasn't as exaggerated as being born with superhuman strength, the original owner was indeed stronger than the average person, and she had been like that since birth, even surpassing several adult men.

However, because she was strong, she also ate a lot, enough for two or three adults. In those years of food and clothing shortages, if it weren't for Old Madam Su, the original owner would probably have starved to death long ago.

Su He knew a little about this, because she hadn't eaten her fill in the past few days. Even though she had already eaten a lot, she still felt hungry, but she was too embarrassed to eat any more.

She knew it! No wonder Grandma Su looked like she was suffering every time they ate these past few days. It turns out she knew how much the original owner of this body could eat. And yet she was so careful.

Moreover, as far as I can remember, when I was a child, after learning that the original source of her strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, Grandma Su was afraid that she would not be able to control her strength, so she sent her to a Taoist temple to learn kung fu from an old Taoist priest.

This old Taoist priest is the one who told her fortune back then.

The Taoist temple is located halfway up a mountain in two nearby villages.

However, in previous years, because people were struggling financially, the Taoist temple didn't receive much worship, and the old Taoist priest had a hard time. Villagers would occasionally bring him some food.

After Su He became his disciple, she would often bring him food and take care of his life. However, when she was 14 years old, the old Taoist priest passed away.

As the disciple, the Su family helped with the old Taoist's funeral arrangements.

The Taoist temple, consisting of just one dilapidated building, is now abandoned and belongs to the neighboring village.

As for the kung fu Su He learned, it wasn't any profound martial arts; it was just for strengthening the body. There were no internal energy cultivation techniques that allowed her to fly over walls and rooftops. She was just a little more agile than the average person.

However, she was always in good health and rarely got sick, so Grandma Su was very grateful to the old Taoist priest.

During holidays and festivals, she would be reminded not to forget to visit her master's grave.
