Chapter 49 New Year's Eve
For a period of time after that, Chen Tang did not leave Changze County.
On weekdays, he wears lead weights and practices Fuhu Fist, Burning Wood Knife, and Gecko Wall Kung Fu. He practices hard training with Tianshen Monkey Wine.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
Although the 'copper skin' on his body showed no signs of fading away, Chen Tang clearly felt that his strength had increased a lot, but he didn't know exactly what level he had reached.
Fuhu Fist has been practiced to the point where both body and spirit are perfect. When the body moves, it is like a tiger descending from the mountain, with a fierce momentum!
Moreover, Chen Tang, the wood-burning sword, has also reached the first level of cultivation.
In one breath, he can draw the sword nine times in a row!
In terms of swordsmanship, he has become more and more proficient in the art of cutting off oxen, conquering the north and south, sweeping across the world, and conquering all the wastelands.
The gecko wall-walking skill is also practiced to a small extent.
Although he is not as nimble and agile as the fat old man, he is currently walking on the wall and will not fall off.
On this day, the new year has come.
Chen Tang went out early, brought some wine and meat, and returned to the snow mountain. He played with the snow balls for a while, chatted with the mountain guests for a while, and then went down the mountain after noon.
The guest in the mountains is like a mystery. He is neither cold nor indifferent to anything.
Sitting on the top of the snow-capped mountains all day long, I don’t feel lonely either.
Chen Tang once invited him down the mountain to celebrate the New Year together, but he refused.
Chen Tang went to look at the wooden house where his predecessor and Chen Daan once lived.
Chen Daan's body was still there, lying quietly on the wooden board, like a country man who had been sleeping for a long time.
The rough palms, gray hair, and slightly reddish skin looked extremely well preserved on the cold snow-capped mountains.
However, the wounds on his body were extremely glaring.
Chen Tang clenched his fist.
If nothing else, he will return here in more than ten days and give Chen Daan an explanation.
Although, Chen Daan will no longer respond.
Back in Changze County, the sky was getting dark.
Chen Tang saw a wisp of smoke floating on his house from a distance, and felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
He was a little homesick.
It's a pity that I can never go back.
Fortunately, there are still people waiting for him at home in this world.
Chen Tang seemed to have thought of something. When he found the desolate and unused house, he couldn't help but smile when he saw the dimly lit lights inside.
"Brother Meng, are you alone tonight?"
"You come to accompany me, it's just two people."
"It's inconvenient, there are three people waiting for me at home."
"Then why don't you go back quickly?"
"Of course I have to go back, but we have to go back together."
"Can you not go?"
"If you don't go, I will tie you up."
……
This is Chen Tang’s first year in this world.
There was no fighting, no bloodshed.
There are fat old men and beautiful sisters who appear out of nowhere, as well as adopted little girls, as well as the head catcher from Changze County, and the daughter of a martial arts school who comes to visit...
There was also a big yellow dog wagging its tail around the table.
This year has been even more lively than in the previous life.
Zhiwei's injuries were mostly healed.
Although she is still young, she is already tall and graceful, and you can see from her brows that she is a beauty, ready to blossom.
Zhiwei smiled and glanced at everyone in the room.
She hasn't had such a warm New Year for a long time.
Although the room was small, Zhiwei didn't feel crowded. She just prayed silently in her heart that these people were safe and looked forward to being together every year.
The fat old man drank some wine and did not mix with these young people. He just sat in the corner and looked at them with a smile.
He has experienced all kinds of years.
Live alone, live with two, live with a large group of people, and even run away with someone and be chased...
However, he hadn't been as relaxed as he was today for a long time. Qingmu looked at Chen Tang casually.
Chen Tang also happened to look over.
After drinking for a long time, they were slightly agitated. When their eyes met, they both looked away slightly in panic.
Qingmu lowered his head and smiled.
When she first came here, she just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
But somehow, she seemed to have gotten used to it in the past two months.
She is used to having a little sister, and is used to having a brother who is half a head taller than her.
I'm used to watching him practice, and I'm also used to teasing him occasionally, seeing him pretending to be calm despite being distracted, and being embarrassed and tough-talking...
Meng Liangyu drank a large bowl of wine, with a smile on her lips, and said to herself: "It's really uncomfortable for so many people to drink together."
Before leaving, Mei Yingxue asked: "By the way, what are your plans after the new year?"
Chen Tang said: "Maybe we should go to Wu'an County for a visit and celebrate the Lantern Festival there."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Ah, that's great!"
Mei Yingxue smiled and said: "Our martial arts school is going to Wu'an County in a few days. By then, we can go together."
"This..." Chen Tang hesitated.
Mei Yingxue said quickly: "This place is more than two hundred miles away from Wu'an County. It takes two or three days by carriage. Let's go together and take care of each other."
"Although it's official, what if there are some bandits and robbers!"
Mei Yingxue said in a bluffing tone: "Let's go together. With my father and the masters from the martial arts school here, even if there are bandits, they will definitely run away."
"That's fine."
It was hard to reject the warm hospitality and the atmosphere was up, so Chen Tang responded with a smile.
Mei Yingxue said: "I have been to Wu'an County twice with my father, and I am quite familiar with it. When we get there, I will show you around."
"Sister Mei, are you going to Wu'an County as a family?" Zhiwei asked.
Mei Yingxue said: "Playing is part of it. The main thing is that dad took some disciples from the martial arts school to Wu'an County to order the products. Among the disciples of this year's martial arts school, there are a few who are quite hopeful to successfully order the products. My brother is one of them.”
"The orders are scheduled during the day of the Lantern Festival. At night, these newly admitted warriors will be eligible to participate in the Lantern Festival banquet held by the county government in the evening. All the big shots in Wu'an County will be present."
"Even if we can't finalize the product, there will be no curfew in Wu'an County on the night of the Lantern Festival. The streets at night are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and people are everywhere watching the lanterns and watching the show. Fireworks are raining like rain, and it is extremely lively."
Speaking of this, Mei Yingxue's face was filled with excitement and joy.
What she looks forward to most every year is the Lantern Festival, when she and her family go to Wu'an County to enjoy all kinds of lanterns.
Even Zhiwei was moved by the scene she described.
She has no memory of the Lantern Festival.
I just remember that I experienced it once when I was very young.
late at night.
Qingmu seemed to be aware of something, suddenly woke up, and looked at Zhiwei beside him who had his eyes closed tightly, sweating profusely but looking frightened.
Zhiwei seemed to be having a nightmare. He was so frightened that his body kept shaking. He grabbed the quilt with both hands and whispered repeatedly: "You, please let me go! It's ten stabs, stop it! Someone, please help me." Save him, I beg you..."
"Zhiwei!"
Qingmu gently shook Zhiwei, trying to free her from the nightmare.
But Zhiwei was still unable to shake off the nightmare, her body was shaking more and more violently, her face was pale, as if she was suffering from huge fear!
"Zhiwei!"
Qingmu stretched out his finger, gently tapped an acupuncture point on Zhiwei's body, and gave a soft drink.
Zhiwei woke up suddenly, gasping for air, and even cried out of fear.
"Okay, okay."
Qingmu felt distressed for a while, hugged her in his arms and comforted her: "It's okay, you had a nightmare, right?"
Zhiwei nodded, still surprised and undecided.
"Did you dream about that thing before?"
Qingmu already knew what happened to Zhiwei.
"I dreamed about that guy, that guy from the Blackwater Gang."
Zhiwei's voice was trembling.
"Go to sleep, it's okay."
Qingmu comforted Zhiwei.
