Chapter 29 Advancement to the Second Level of Qi Training
Qian Xing is Qian Dazhi's third and youngest son. He is 18 years old this year, which should be the right age for him to get married, but Qian Dazhi's family is not well-off and cannot afford the bride price, so he has not yet married.
After Tang Shengkai and Lin Cuicui looked at each other, they both shifted their gaze to Tang Yue.
Tang Yue didn't have any ideas. If these people were willing, it would be nice to have a few helpers when going out.
Seeing Tang Yue nod, Tang Shengkai looked at Qian Dazhi and said, "Uncle Qian, go back and ask Qian Xing for his opinion. If he is willing to go, we can go together."
"Old Third, can you really join the army with your legs like this?"
Qian Dazhi was still a little worried, after all, the third child still needed to use a cane to walk.
"I'm going to give it a try after taking two days off. By the way, Uncle Li, how long will the conscription last this time?"
"About half a month."
Tang Shengkai calculated that there should still be enough time. He glanced at Tang Yue casually and then confirmed with the two of them:
"My legs feel much better these days. I think I won't need crutches anymore in a few days. I'll sign up then."
Qian Dazhi also wanted to say that he might not pass at this age, but if the third child wanted to go, he had to try it himself.
"Okay, I'll go back and ask the third brother. If you pass and he's willing to go, I'll let him go with you."
"Uncle Qian, aren't you planning to find a wife for the third child?"
Lin Cuicui was a little curious. Now that Uncle Qian was rich, why didn't he worry about Qian Xing's marriage?
"If he went out with you, he might be able to come up with something better. Anyway, he's not that old now, so let's wait for now."
After saying that, Qian Dazhi stood up and said, "There's nothing else to do now. I'm going home first."
After sending Qian Dazhi away, Old Li wanted to go home too, but Lin Cuicui and Tang Shengkai stopped him. After a long night, everyone was tired and hungry, so Lin Cuicui started to cook.
There wasn't much food left at home, and Lin Cuicui had been reluctant to waste it these past two days, so she cooked even more. Looking at the little rice left in the bag, Lin Cuicui sighed and poured it all into the pot.
"Let's go to town and buy some food this afternoon."
Tang Shengkai nodded without saying anything. Old Li rushed to say, "Don't buy any. I still have some left. It's enough for a few days."
Lin Cuicui smiled and said, "Uncle Li, our family is rich now, and we have food coupons, so we will definitely have enough to eat.
Go to town and buy some noodles or something, and then you can make some dry food to take with you on the road."
Old Li thought that this made sense, so he didn't refute it.
"Cui Cui, from now on, let's stop calling him Uncle Li and just call him Dad."
Suddenly, Old Li's face flushed red, not out of shyness, but excitement. Lin Cuicui smiled and said, "Hey, Dad, come into the house and lie on the kang for a while. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
Old Li choked up and hummed, then went into the west room.
The three Tangbei brothers followed him into the house. Tangdong and Tangnan went up to the kang and spread out the blanket for Old Li. Tangbei supported Old Li and said, "Grandpa, hurry up and get some rest on the kang. We'll go over when the meal is ready."
Old Li felt light and his mind was buzzing. Just like that, just like that, he had a son and several grandchildren. He was so happy. This life was worth it.
"Okay, okay. Grandpa will listen to you. You didn't sleep well last night, so you should go up to the kang and rest for a while."
After saying that, he took out the stack of Great Unity notes from his pocket and gave three to each person.
"This is what grandpa gave you. Keep it well. When you want to buy something, go buy it yourself."
"No, no, no, Grandpa, this won't work. We are still young and don't have any use for money. Grandpa, you keep it. When we want something, we can ask you to buy it for us."
Tang Bei stopped the three brothers and stopped Old Li from giving them money.
Old Li pretended to be angry, but Tang Bei remained unmoved, while Tang Dong clapped his hands excitedly behind him.
"Big brother, second brother, we will have a grandfather in the future. We can also ask him to buy us delicious food. It's great."
When Tang Nan heard there were delicious foods, he immediately became excited, "Ah, that's right. Grandpa, from now on, you can buy us delicious foods and we don't need to pay."
Finally, Old Li reluctantly put all the money back into his pocket. The old man and three children lay on the kang with their eyes closed, all very excited, but they were also very tired, and soon fell asleep.
Tang Shengkai, leaning on his walking stick, sat by the stove and started a fire. Lin Cuicui finished her work on the pot and said, "Master, go and rest on the kang for a while."
Tang Shengkai shook his head. "I'm not tired yet. I'll help you. You've been tired all night too. When you're done, get some sleep and don't tire yourself out."
Lin Cuicui felt very relieved after hearing this, but the head of the family was not fully recovered yet, and she didn't want him to overwork himself.
"Just hearing your words is enough. I'm not tired yet. Hurry up and get on the kang and rest for a while. It would be bad if your leg gets hurt more."
Tang Shengkai didn't mention how much better he felt after his daughter gave him a ball of spiritual energy, but he insisted on lighting the fire and not going into the house. His wife had been exhausted recently. She hadn't slept all night and had dragged him up the mountain. She had worked much harder than him, so how could he rest?
After dinner, they let Lin Cuicui lie down on the kang to take a nap, while Old Li and the Tangbei brothers went back to the west room to sleep. Tang Yue and Tang Shengkai sat on the kang, staring at each other.
"Daughter, do you think Dad's leg can really be healed?"
"Don't worry, Dad. I'll definitely get better. You didn't sleep last night, so you should rest for a while. I feel like I'll be able to enter the second level of Qi Refining soon, so I'll practice for a while."
The two of them lay on the kang, and Tang Shengkai silently learned the method of drawing qi into the body that Tang Yue taught him.
He had never known what spiritual energy was, nor could he sense its presence around him. But today, he saw the spiritual energy ball condensed in his daughter's palm.
It seemed as if some idea flashed through his mind, but he didn't catch it at the time. Now recalling the scene, Tang Shengkai closed his eyes and carefully felt the presence of the thing in the air.
Tang Yue's health was weak, but after using spiritual energy to nourish her, she'd gotten much better. But after killing over twenty spies today, her spiritual energy was running low, especially since she was small and her body wasn't full, so it was depleting quickly.
Today, due to her extreme exhaustion, she seemed to have reached that critical point.
At this time, Tang Yue mobilized the surrounding spiritual energy into her body. She felt that the spiritual energy was flowing into her body faster, and the meridians in her body circulated with the spiritual energy, speeding up and becoming more comfortable.
About half an hour later, Tang Yue felt two cracking sounds coming from her body. She curled her lips in delight. She had now reached the second level of Qi Refining.
She opened her eyes and carefully felt everything around her. She found that her five senses were sharper and her consciousness spread to the back mountain again. After a while, she arrived next to the formation she had set up to hide the spy's clothes, and her speed was even faster.
He stretched out his hand and transformed the spiritual energy into a thread, winding it upwards in circles, without any breaks in the middle. The use was very smooth, and Tang Yue was satisfied. Seeing that Tang Shengkai still had his eyes closed, Tang Yue knew that he was not asleep and was intensifying his training. His father was really working hard.
Tang Yue didn't know why her consciousness could be projected outwards, and now the range of her consciousness seemed to be even wider. Could it be that after changing her body, she really became a genius?
Tang Yue's breathing rhythm changed, and Tang Shengkai seemed to sense the presence of green and golden light spots around him. Before he could be happy, he suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his thigh injury.
When Tang Shengkai opened his eyes, he saw his daughter staring at his legs intently. He knew that his daughter might be helping him treat his legs. Tang Shengkai lay on the kang, enduring the pain without saying a word. Tang Yue's little face slowly turned red, and beads of sweat soon seeped out of her forehead.
She didn't dare use too much force. At this moment, Tang Yue's consciousness had already entered Tang Shengkai's wound and saw the location of the bullet. The bullet was lodged in the bone, and the surrounding blood vessels were very close to the bullet. She didn't dare to lose her concentration at all.
The spiritual energy slowly passed through the bullet, circle after circle, until Tang Yue completely wrapped the bullet with spiritual energy. The pain Tang Shengkai felt was caused by the friction between the spiritual energy filaments slowly wrapping around the bullet and the wound.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Yue looked up at her father. Seeing that he was looking at her with a distressed expression, Tang Yue was stunned. Shouldn't her father be concerned about whether her injuries could be cured at this time?
Why is he caring about her? Tang Yue felt full of strength. She smiled at Tang Shengkai. At the moment when Tang Shengkai was stunned, Tang Yue exerted force and the bullet directly broke away from Tang Shengkai's wound.
Tang Shengkai had just felt the pain when Tang Yue had already used her spiritual power to stop the bleeding and the pain from his wound.
"Yueyue, is this okay now?"
