I am immortal.

Chapter 4 Encourage it!

Negative thousand two hundred steps.

Live two hundred years old.

How loud are these words.

The lights of the worms in the gauze sac seemed to be in a daze, Qi Wuhuo raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him, his chewing movements slowed down, and he frowned and asked, "Could the old man be joking?"

"It is said that even Peng Zu has a life expectancy of 800 years, 1000 and [-] years old?"

The old man spread his hands and said with a playful smile: "Whoever called you, you don't want this, and you don't want that. The old man was annoyed in his heart, so he naturally made a joke for you, hehe...ah, don't be annoyed, boy, and leave the old man behind." meat porridge!"

The old man wanted to joke a few words, but he saw that the boy in this small town was about to take away the old man's meat porridge, so he couldn't help laughing, and called a few times before the boy put the meat porridge back for him.

Qi Wuhuo was usually silent, upright and upright, and it was only at this time that he could see the character of some thirteen or fourteen-year-olds, and the old man stroked his beard and smiled.

Since then, the so-called good fate will not be mentioned again.

The place where Qi Wuhuo lived was far away from the town, but the news spread very quickly. The story of an old man brought back by a child from the Qi family from outside quickly spread to several nearby streets.

Some said it belonged to an elder of the same clan as him, some said it belonged to his family, and some said it was because Qi Wuhuo coveted the old man's wealth so that he could make offerings to him. If you want to ask why, let's look at the purple robe on his body. , It's just that clothes, there is nothing comparable in the whole town.

If not, how could Qi Wuhuo, who was extremely poor and poor, bring him back?
These miscellaneous rumors were passed around, but Qi Wuhuo ignored them, saying, "A gentleman is upright, there is no blame", those people also felt that it was boring, and slowly this news was "big news" by other people. 'New talk' was suppressed.

Small towns and villages, probably so.

Another ten days, heavy snow fell, and the whole town became more and more clean, as if isolated from the world. The old man who claimed to be surnamed Li and called Fan was slowly making a pot of tea, and Qi Wuhuo was chopping firewood with an ax in the yard.

He didn't know why, but he just felt that during the ten days, his strength had grown more and more. Even a strong man could split a large bowl of firewood two or three times. He used to have five or six blows, but now he only needs one. Just go down with the axe.

Another strike with the axe, the firewood was already split with just a click, but the axe continued to slash deeply into the ground.

Qi Wuhu was stunned.

The old man who was making tea suddenly laughed teasingly: "The strength is self-generated. I never thought that Wuhuo you still have a few martial arts in your body. Have you practiced some magical books?"

Qi Wuhuo shook his head and said, "No."

After thinking for a while, he leaned down and twisted the firewood, and said, "Probably because the firewood has been placed for too long, and the wood has become loose, so it is easy to split."

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

This small wooden house also has a small yard. The door was already dilapidated. Qi Wuhuo made a simple wooden door out of wooden stakes, and it opened with just a push. door, Qi Wuhuo already knew in his heart who was coming.

Put down the ax for chopping wood, tidy up your appearance a little, and quickly go to open the door.

Amidst the creaking sound, the wooden door opened, and there was snow on the door. When the door was opened, it fell to the ground with the movement. Outside the door, there were three old pine trees beside the road, and there were people under the pine.

Qi Wuhuo raised his eyes and saw that it was the gentleman wearing the green robe, which was heavy but not cumbersome. On one side was a woman wearing a white peony jacket embroidered with a large bowl, holding a green bamboo bone umbrella to shelter from the wind and snow. , men and women have an elegant temperament, which is out of tune with this small town.

From the looks of others, there is a huge difference between him and the poor young man in a short brown robe, whose hair is only tied with straw ropes so that his hair is not unkempt.

Qi Wuhuo cupped his hands slightly, and said in a calm tone:
"I don't know if Mr. Su and Mrs. Su are visiting, please come in."

Su Shengyuan stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "No, no, it will snow heavily, I will accompany my wife home to visit relatives, I need to go to the next city tonight, there is still a long way to go, so I won't go in."

Qi Wuhuo raised his eyes slightly, and then he saw that on the side of the road, on the avenue a few hundred steps away from this remote alley, he could faintly see a green carriage drawn by two horses. A fiery red figure opened the curtain of the carriage and looked in this direction.

When he saw Qi Wuhuo, he shook his palm happily.

Su Shengyuan glanced at his wife and coughed slightly.

The elegant woman rolled her husband's eyes, then took the initiative to hand over a package in her arms, adjusted the collar of Qi Wuhuo a little, and said in a soft voice: "It's very cold in winter, don't freeze it, there are two bags inside. A piece of cotton clothes and a pair of thin needle-eye platform shoes, which are right for you to wear this March."

"You can't refuse."

Qi Wuhuo was stunned, and said, "How does this make..."

Su Shengyuan raised his hand with a smile and said, "I know you have a straightforward character, but don't you hear that 'gifted by the elders, you can't refuse'? Well, well, Wuhuo, your teacher's wife is kind, so don't refuse any more."

Fu took another breath of air, and asked: "These days, it's snowing heavily in the middle of winter, and there is no lecture. How are you mastering what you have learned in the past few years? How about I ask you a few questions?"

Immediately after the boy nodded, he asked.

Qi Wuhuo answered them one by one.

Su Shengyuan stroked his beard for a long time, then sighed: "Okay, okay."

He stretched out his hand and patted Qi Wuhuo's shoulder vigorously, and said: "The spring test after March, I will recommend it for you. With your talent, you should win the first battle. Within three years, your reputation will be among the states and counties." between."

"Encourage it, encourage it!"

Qi Wuhuo seemed to hear the disdainful snorting of the old man in the yard.

But for some reason, Su Shengyuan didn't seem to hear it.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Su Shengyuan encouraged Qi Wuhu a lot before leaving under the secret urging of his wife.

Back on the carriage, I was still filled with emotion.

Even his wife was a little astonished at her husband's performance, and said, "That child...is he really so talented?"

Su Shengyuan sighed: "More than that, he is born knowing! Every time he speaks, there is something amazing. I have traveled in Kyushu for more than 30 years, or I have learned more than him, but I have never seen someone who is more talented than him. of."

After thinking about it, he looked to one side.

There is a young girl who is thirteen years old, with long hair and feathers, and wearing red clothes, playing with a small mechanism in her hand. She is the daughter of the Su family. She is doted on by the family. The clothes she wears are all made of fox fur. It was rolled over, revealing the white fluff, which further set off the cuteness of her eyebrows. If you think about it in a few years, she will be very beautiful.

Su Shengyuan pondered and said:

"Yue'er, do you remember Qi Wuhuo?"

The girl giggled and said, "Remember, that guy who is always straight, like a bamboo, is always the first to come, the one you said was very talented, father, of course I remember."

Su Shengyuan pondered, and suddenly said:

"What if you get engaged to Wuhuo after three years?"
