Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 108 Martial Arts Hall
August sixteen.

early morning.

When Pei Ye opened her eyes on the bed, she saw the gray old wooden beams erected horizontally and vertically on the roof.

An overly familiar scene will bring people a sense of comfort, as if nothing happened, and the heavy rain that crushed the city was just yesterday.

But if you think about it carefully, there are indeed too many complicated things crammed into these ten days.

Pei Ye rolled over and got out of bed. No matter how desperate the situation was, it would eventually pass, and when everything returned to peace, the remaining people would still have to continue walking their own paths.

The Golden Autumn Martial Arts Tournament in Bowang Prefecture will start on the seventh day of September, only 20 days away, and he will start serious preparations for this event.

He is not unfamiliar with the name of this grand event. He knew from the masters on the first day he entered the martial arts gym: being able to participate in the "Three Competitions" in Zhoucheng is the highest honor of Xiaocheng martial arts hall.

Since the Shenjing martial arts competition is held in early summer, the Bowang Prefecture Association will hold three martial arts competitions covering the entire state in autumn, winter and spring, and a total of three quotas for Beijing will be determined.

However, although Pei Ye was familiar with the name, he didn't know much about this event, because it had nothing to do with him.

Of course there is now.

Yesterday, he said hello to Master Huang and agreed to go to the martial arts studio for some advice today, and decided to practice in the martial arts studio these days before setting off.

Master Huang has taught martial arts for more than 20 years, and has led more than a dozen students to participate in the three competitions. He is really familiar with this set of things.

After breakfast, he planned to leave the black cat at home to let him practice quietly, but the black cat jumped on his shoulder.So Pei Ye took it with him, picked up his sword, and after thinking about it, he brought up Zhanxin Liuli.

As long as he has a little time these days, he will pull out the dragon's blood for this sword.

And after the dragon's blood is condensed into a cold front, the energy contained in it will be much richer. Its own talent absorbs the profound energy and grows extremely fast. Now, a few "tonic medicines" are added from time to time, and the two small buds in the dantian after a few days It has grown a lot, and Pei Ye feels that after two more days, it may turn into two lives.

Pei Ye used the sword case of his sword to put the Zhanxin Liuli on his back, kicked the crooked old courtyard door up and locked it, and strode towards the north of the city.

Turn around a few alleys and enter the main street in the north of the city. The words "Old Lu Liquor Shop" hang firmly on the side of the street, as if they were completely unaffected by the disaster-in fact, it reopened as soon as the rain stopped. .

Pei Ye opened the cloth curtain, and the number of drinkers inside was much less after all, and the noisy and lively atmosphere of that day was gone.

The familiar figure was still busy at the counter.

Pei Ye approached: "Uncle Lu, drink two gourds of wine."

"Yo! Little Pei! You're fine, that's great!" Lu Youcai raised his head. Although the two saber eyebrows stood up in an instant, Pei Ye still captured their original appearance of drooping and worried.

"I'm fine, what's wrong with you, Uncle Lu, did the rain hurt you?"

"Fortunately, the family is safe." Lu Youcai sighed softly, "It's just the wine I piled up in the yard. Alas, forty old barrels, it's the stock for the next year, and it's all destroyed."

"Ah..." Pei Ye whispered regretfully.

He probably knew about Lu Youcai's family background. Although it was not considered poor, it was not considered rich either.A few days ago, Lao Zhang Liquor Store closed down. It was supposed that the next period of time would be an opportunity for Lao Lu to expand. Unfortunately, all the inventory is now destroyed. Not to mention the expansion, even the capital cannot be recovered.

For the next whole year, Lu Youcai had to find a way to scrape together to support the family, and borrow money to brew new wine.But just after the disaster, how many families are well off?

"No way..." Lu Youcai sighed and stretched out his hand, "Where's the wine gourd?"

"Lost it, bring me two new ones."

"Yo, it seems that life is not so tight." Lu Youcai smiled. "No matter how tight you are, you have to spend money and drink."

"That makes sense - there are still mourners outside, why did I hurry up and open the shop?" Lu Youcai took out two gourds from under the counter and rinsed them, then turned to pick up the wine and murmured, "Hit me. When I was a kid, I helped run errands in the store, and the neighbors in the north of the city started drinking here. Over the past 30 years, everyone has become accustomed to it."

"So no matter what happens, whether I should open or open, others will know that life is still the same when they see it, and they don't feel so panicked."

Lu Youcai turned his head and put the two full gourds on the counter, sighing: "But, it won't be open for a few more days. When these two barrels are sold out, I will find a way to make food."

"It's okay, now is not the time for people to starve to death." Pei Ye comforted, "No matter what happens, I can survive this year. It will be fine when the new wine comes out."

"Yes, that's right." Lu Youcai let out a long sigh.

"It's already fine, Uncle Lu, the family is safe! How do you say that? Blessing hurts money, but no blessing hurts oneself." Pei Ye smiled.

"Damn! Brat!" Lu Youcai scolded with a smile, "Turn back on me!"

"Hehe." Pei Ye counted the money from his pocket, "This time it's eight coins - oh yes, there's also a gourd. How much is the gourd, Uncle Lu?"

"Why, last time I said it was the poor who dared not take credit, but now they are all great heroes, and they are still poor?"

"You're poor, Uncle Lu." Pei Ye smiled. In fact, he already has a bright future ahead, but now that Lu Youcai is in a difficult situation, he naturally refuses to take advantage of it.

Lu Youcai rolled his eyes: "I'm poor, you, uncle Lu, can't afford to hire you? Get lost!"

Pei Ye smiled helplessly, took back the money, lifted two gourds and bid farewell to go out.

Then we crossed the streets and alleys all the way to the North Bridge, which happened to be the border eroded by frost, and the martial arts hall further inside was fortunately undisturbed.

Pei Ye came to the gate of the martial arts hall and saw that the door was open. He raised his eyes and saw Master Huang sitting under the eaves, reading two pages of official documents.

"Master Huang!" Pei Ye shouted, "Why is there no one here today?"

"Mothers don't worry about the children going out these days. But I also agreed that it will be back tomorrow." Master Huang raised his head and stared at him, then lowered his head and continued to browse, "I just asked Mr. Chang The martial arts official documents that have been sent out—speaking of which, no one in our martial arts gym has been there in the past few years."

"Then I can regain my reputation." Pei Ye walked over with a smile and handed a gourd of wine to Master Huang.

"That's true - only wine? How about a couple of side dishes?"

"It's not like we're drinking now. Aren't we going to talk about the Golden Autumn Martial Arts Competition?"

"You won't waste time drinking after talking." Master Huang stood up and ran back to the house. Not long after, he came out with a pot of peanuts.

"I cooked it in the morning." Master Huang put down the official document, peeled two peanuts and poured them into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Let me think about where to start."

Pei Ye sat next to him, opened the sword box, put his hand on the heart-cutting glass and began to suck the dragon's blood.

"Oh! What is this?!" Master Huang's body fell over.

"Small stuff. Oh, you talk about it first, and I'll show you when you're done."

"Okay." Master Huang withdrew his staring eyes, and couldn't help but glance again, "It's so damn good..."

　Thanks to the boss of kakteen for the reward!
