Chapter 21 Xiaohai Village



He Dazhu spent another sleepless night.

He Dazhu groggily got out of bed and stretched.

By this time, the rooster had crowed several times, and the sky was beginning to lighten.

Seeing that his second aunt and Li Xianggui were sleeping soundly on the bed, He Dazhu didn't want to disturb them, so he tiptoed out of the room.

He Dazhu took a deep breath of the fresh morning air and immediately felt happy.

He Dazhu came to the aloe vera plant he had planted yesterday. The aloe vera leaf that he had broken off yesterday had started to clump together.

After a night, the aloe vera leaves were covered with dewdrops.

He Dazhu sat upright on the stone slab under the persimmon tree and began to concentrate his soul and gather his energy. He Dazhu tried his best to comprehend the Xuan Tian Jue, but he always felt that the true energy gathered in his body was still very little, and now he rarely made any breakthroughs in the Xuan Tian Jue.

He Dazhu immediately felt a wave of frustration.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart, "This mountain god is something else. Why didn't he tell me how to quickly cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Technique?"

He Dazhu took off the jade gourd hanging around his neck and examined it repeatedly, but after a long time he still couldn't figure it out.

No matter how much He Dazhu tried to imitate strange incantations from TV dramas or make strange gestures towards the jade gourd, the jade gourd remained completely unresponsive.

As the clouds dispersed, the sun broke through the thick dark clouds, casting its first rays of dawn, and the dew on the aloe vera was about to run dry.

Suddenly, the jade gourd burst forth with a strange, dazzling light, and the dew on the aloe vera was automatically absorbed by the jade gourd.

He Dazhu was immediately surprised.

Picking up the jade gourd, He Dazhu felt it had gained a little weight. Looking into the small opening of the gourd, he discovered a tiny bit of emerald green liquid inside, barely visible to the naked eye.

He Dazhu still doesn't know the function of the jade gourd or the green liquid inside it, but at least this jade gourd is a treasure left to him by the mountain god, so it must have a great use, and the green liquid inside it must be extraordinary.

He Dazhu hung the jade gourd around his neck again, and before Li Xianggui and Liu Sichun got up, he began to concentrate his soul and energy to cultivate.

This time, He Dazhu clearly felt that it was completely different from his previous cultivation. He Dazhu clearly felt that more true qi was gathering in his body.

He Dazhu suddenly opened his eyes and was surprised to find that the jade gourd was emitting a strange dazzling light, which he was absorbing. As the dazzling light ended, the jade gourd returned to its previous weight.

He Dazhu understood instantly.

This jade gourd can absorb spiritual energy, which is then transformed into green liquid within the gourd. He Dazhu can absorb this green liquid from the gourd.

Thinking this, He Dazhu felt a surge of joy. As long as he used the jade gourd to absorb spiritual energy, cultivation would be much simpler.

He Dazhu came to the aloe vera again, but this time the jade gourd was as dead as ever, completely unresponsive. He Dazhu felt a sense of loss again; it seemed that spiritual energy was not so easy to find.

"Dazhu, you're up so early."

Liu Sichun looked at He Dazhu and said.

Seeing Liu Sichun, He Dazhu hurriedly put away the jade gourd, scratching his head awkwardly and saying, "I couldn't sleep, so I got up. Besides, it's getting late. Aren't we going to town to sell honey today?"

"If you don't go early, there might not be any stalls left."

Liu Sichun looked up at the sun that had already risen over the mountain and said, "Dazhu, you're right. I'll go call Sister Guihua now. Today is market day. If we don't go sell today, we'll have to wait another week."

"No need to call me, I'm already up."

Li Xianggui had already washed up and was ready to leave at any time.

After a simple breakfast, He Dazhu carried the honey, and the three of them set off towards Lingshan Town.

Shihua Village is nestled in a mountain valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides. The entire journey to Lingshan Town is a mountain road, about ten kilometers long, and you have to pass through Xiaohai Village along the way.

In Shihua Village, the wealthy families mostly rode motorcycles, while the less wealthy ones drove oxcarts. The worst off were people like He Dazhu and his two companions, who walked the entire ten-kilometer journey. By the time they reached Lingshan Town, it was already noon.

Along the way, people kept asking He Dazhu how much the honey cost, but He Dazhu knew that these villagers were basically just asking for fun. They didn't have any money at all. If they had money, they would have already gotten motorcycles and wouldn't be walking with them.

So He Dazhu refused them all.

After descending a slope, a signpost for Xiaohai Village appeared in front of them.

Liu Sichun said worriedly, "Dazhu, you have to be careful. Xiaohai Village is just ahead. You offended Liu Debiao last time, so it might not be so easy for you to get through Xiaohai Village this time."

He Dazhu tugged at the straps of his suspenders and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Second Aunt, even if you gave that Brother Biao a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare to stop me. If he dares to come, then we'll beat him up again."

"I really love you more and more, sister," Li Xianggui said, pulling He Dazhu aside.

"Sister Guihua, please don't do this, it's broad daylight," He Dazhu said.

"What's the big deal? We didn't do anything."

Several villagers from Shihua Village who were also heading to the street watched He Dazhu and Li Xianggui and couldn't help but gossip among themselves.

Li Xianggui gave them a look, and the villagers wisely walked away.

ah--

Help! ! !

Suddenly, a cry for help came from ahead.

Looking around, He Dazhu could only see a large, dark crowd gathered in front of him.

The other villagers from Shihua Village did not gather around; instead, they quickened their pace and walked away without stopping.

Seeing He Dazhu about to step forward, Liu Sichun quickly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Dazhu, you shouldn't worry about it. What's important for us now is to leave Xiaohai Village before Liu Debiao discovers us."

"Second Aunt, what are you saying?"

"Those people are bullying others in broad daylight. Is there no law anymore?"

"The law?"

"Dazhu, why would you think that?"

“If there were laws in this remote mountain village, I wouldn’t be here,” Liu Sichun said emotionally.

Li Xianggui said, "Dazhu, I think you should just let it go. It's best if you don't get involved in the affairs of Xiaohai Village. You've already offended Brother Biao. If you cause more trouble, who knows what might happen?"

"Help!!!"

The cries for help came again, deeply affecting He Dazhu's nerves.

He Dazhu couldn't help but recall the scene when Shen Jie and his gang surrounded him in the toilet and beat him up. The more He Dazhu thought about it, the angrier he became, and a nameless rage suddenly arose within him.

He Dazhu said coldly, "If there is no law in this remote mountain village, then I will bring the law to it."

As he spoke, He Dazhu clenched his fists and walked towards the group of people...
