Chapter 129 Jiang Caier Breaks Through
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Li Xiang went to his grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings, but his uncle and aunt took Shen Wenqian and Shen Zimo to their grandmother's house.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Li Xiang went back to his mother's home. His aunt also had her own family, so he accompanied his grandfather there for a drink. After lunch, he chatted with his grandmother for a while, and then went to ask his grandfather for some advice on erhu skills. He came back around two o'clock in the afternoon.
When he was a child, he followed his mother to his grandmother's house and stayed there for several days. Now that he has grown up, he can no longer do that. His mother was gone, and his grandparents were old too. Living here, they had to wash the sheets and quilts, and treat him to delicious food and drink. He couldn't bear to see the two elderly people working so hard.
He actually had little interest in the erhu, mainly because it had two strings and most of the songs played on it were too sad. He preferred ones with more strings. Asking my grandfather for advice is mainly to make the old man happy.
Jiang Caier also followed her parents to her grandmother's house, which was a traditional Miao village with many ancient Miao buildings. During the New Year, there were singing and dancing performances by Miao girls. It was very lively. I took many photos and shared them with him.
In the past, Miao girls rarely married outside their hometowns. But now times have changed, and in fact, quite a lot of them still marry outside their hometowns.
One of Jiang Caier's cousins, also a Miao girl, not only married and moved to another place after graduating from university, but also bought a house and settled down in a big city. Since this is her first year as a bride and the journey is quite far, she could receive many red envelopes when visiting relatives at her husband's side during the New Year, so she did not go back to her parents' home.
As for my grandmother's parents' home, Grandma Li Xiang is old and the distance is far, so she seldom goes back. And a few years ago, my uncle (my grandmother's brother) passed away, so she will go back even less.
The relationship with my grandmother's relatives has become distant. They only come when there is something important, and we hardly contact each other when there is nothing else. If I wait a few years, my grandmother will pass away and I probably won’t be able to move around anymore.
But grandma also has daughters. Her three daughters all went back to her parents' home to visit their old mother today. However, my second aunt was married quite far away and had to rush back in the afternoon. She said she had a banquet to attend in the evening and had other things to do tomorrow, so she was very busy. So she left in a hurry after lunch.
As soon as the second aunt left, the eldest aunt sat for a short while and then left too. Only my little aunt stayed behind to accompany my old mother.
Li Xiang came back a little late and did not meet his eldest and second aunts. He planned to visit his eldest and second aunts' homes to wish them a happy new year tomorrow. As for his second aunt's home, it was too far away and he didn't have a car, so he did not go. He just called to wish them a happy new year and chatted for a while.
With nothing to do, Li Xiang went to inspect his "territory". He had already planned and even designed a general plan. He just had to wait until after the Chinese New Year to follow the corresponding procedures and hire a construction team.
It includes a large part of the backyard and two nearby hills. The hill where he had previously mined bloodstone is not included for the time being.
He went to expand the cave again, drink spiritual wine and practice martial arts.
Then he found a large stone with a nice texture. He cut it with the White Tooth Dagger and put it into the system warehouse. He planned to take it back and make a tea table, on which he could carve winding wine cups, tea pets, etc.
White Fang's dagger cut this hard stone like cutting plasticine, and his hands were strong, so it was relatively easy for him to carve. He doesn’t use electric tools like other masters, causing flying chips and harsh noises.
On the afternoon of the third day of junior high school, Jiang Caier came to Li Xiang's house to do homework. They still sat around the stove to make tea. Li Xiang stewed a bowl of elixir soup for her. There were seven or eight second- and third-level elixir soup in it, but the taste was a bit bad. Even though rock sugar was added, it was still bitter.
There’s nothing we can do. The delicious food has been eaten first, and what’s left is bitter. Then there were a few non-bitter ones left, and Li Xiang planned to give them to her as snacks.
In fact, Li Xiang’s spirit wine is also very bitter, both bitter and spicy. But he thought it tasted good, and after taking a sip and tasting it carefully, he found a sweet aftertaste. If you keep gulping it down, it will be unbearable.
Coffee is also bitter, but some people are addicted to black coffee and have to have a cup every day without any sugar or milk.
"It's a bit bitter, but it's very effective. Come on, Dalang, drink it!" Li Xiang picked up the warm elixir and said jokingly.
"Go away, I'm not the ugly Wu Dalang, I'm..." Jiang Caier pouted and wanted to say that she was the beautiful Jinlian, but she thought it was not a good idea, so she rolled her eyes at Li Xiang, picked up the cup of elixir, pinched her nose and drank it all.
"It's so bitter~" However, she also felt that the abundant medicinal properties in her body had begun to slowly penetrate into her flesh and blood, but it would probably take a few days to completely "digest" it.
"Hurry up and eat a piece of chocolate to relax!" Li Xiang quickly peeled a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into her little mouth.
"Thank you, brother." Jiang Caier felt the sweet scent coming from her taste buds and couldn't help but smile at Li Xiang.
"Take these fruits to school and eat one every morning." Li Xiang took out six third-order mutated Phoenix Blood Lotus Fruits, wrapped them in plastic wrap and sealed them. They were also covered with small plastic bags, and packaged individually. This was the snack Li Xiang prepared for her.
These are also the last few, because this kind of lotus tastes better, is full of moisture, sweet and delicious, and is suitable for eating raw.
"Uh-huh."
"Don't eat it these few days. Wait until the medicinal properties in your body are fully refined before eating it."
…
Happy times are always short-lived. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, as young people set off one after another, the long-lost bustle of Lijia Village became deserted again.
On the afternoon of the sixth day of the New Year, Jiang Caier also went to school with her suitcase. School officially starts on the seventh day.
People in the city basically start working on this day.
In the countryside, there are still some elderly people left behind who will take advantage of the New Year to visit relatives and friends, but the young people are not around and there are fewer people setting off fireworks, so the New Year atmosphere is very weak.
…
On the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, the morning sun rose, shining with golden light. On the school playground of Jiang Caier High School, all the students of the school lined up, spread out, and began to do radio gymnastics.
While doing it, Jiang Caier was also secretly practicing the breathing method taught by Li Xiang, coordinating the movements with her unique breathing frequency. Since the movements of radio gymnastics were not specific movements in the breathing method, her postures looked a little strange.
But it does not affect her practice.
A teacher who was patrolling wanted to come over and correct her wrong movements, but suddenly, the teacher stopped.
Because Jiang Caier suddenly became very energetic, her whole body glowed, like a flying goddess, extremely elegant and beautiful.
Not only did this teacher feel it, but many of her classmates felt it too.
"Oh my god, Jiang Caier is so beautiful!"
"You suddenly look radiant. Are you thinking of something happy?"
There are some boys who have a crush on Jiang Caier. For example, at this moment, there is a boy staring at Jiang Caier blankly. He is completely stunned and thinks that the Miao saint is indeed very charming. Has my secret crush and unrequited love worsened? Why did I feel like I was hallucinating just now? The student asked other students afterwards and they also said yes.
So, the story that Jiang Caier suddenly glowed while doing morning exercises became a miraculous story.
Especially some boys, the rumors are very mysterious.
Many students who had not seen it with their own eyes scoffed at this. Even though Goddess Jiang has good grades and is pretty, you don't have to lick her like that, right? Some girls were very jealous and thought these guys were disgusting! It's still glowing, I think you have water in your brain!
Jiang Caier was also surprised at her previous changes, but she was more excited. She finally understood why Brother Li Xiang had such good skin and why he was so handsome most of the time that he looked glowing!
Well, at this moment her skin was white and rosy, as beautiful as peach and plum, and a clear light was diffused between her flesh and blood, as if she was a glowing angel. Fortunately, she secretly practiced the breathing method in time, which suppressed it a little.
Even so, it is still incredibly beautiful, at least ten times better than usual! She has condensed the first vortex of spiritual power and officially became a transcendent being.
In addition, her first superpower was born. Her first superpower was the memory palace, which allowed her to remember everything she saw.
A magical palace appeared in her mind, extremely magnificent and holy, with all her past memories classified and organized in an orderly manner. You can keep adding to it.
For example, if you get a new book that you have never read before, you can "scan" and "store" it in the memory palace by just flipping through it quickly, and it will come to mind when you need it.
"Oh my god, with such strong abilities, what are Peking University and Tsinghua University?"
Jiang Caier was so excited that her learning ability and efficiency would increase more than a thousand times!
