Three days later, Chu Yunsheng was sitting on the top of the pumpkin, quietly gathering Ben Ti Yuan Qi, and then releasing it to every corner of his body, refining his Ni Yuan Body over and over again.
From the bottom of Yuan Tian stage three to the middle of Yuan Tian stage three, under the premise that the cultivation method was no longer a problem, what was left was just a boring and mechanical process of cultivation.
Of course, it was usually a little difficult to break through. But when he fused with Dark before, he directly broke through to Yuan Tian stage four. Although he fell back later, he still stayed in the middle of Yuan Tian stage three for a long time. This familiar experience was very helpful for him to break through to the middle of Yuan Tian stage three.
The only thing that could not be changed was the cultivation time. There was nothing he could do about it. Generally speaking, the limitation of physical conditions was an objective factor that could not be changed by his will.
At this stage, the only thing he could do was to work hard!
Since last night, he had consciously reduced his sleeping time and increased his cultivation time. While it was boring, he was also thinking about how to return the life force to the little girl.
With his current ability, the seventh nail could only take the life force, but it could not send it back. Although the monster seal talisman could send the life force, it could not seal the little girl. It was really a dilemma.
Perhaps when the seventh nerve-like line completely lit up, there would be a new way. The seventh nerve-like line's manipulation of the four-dimensional space still needed to be achieved through the "object medium". But Chu Yunsheng saw that the little girl was already old to the point where she was about to run out of oil.
Therefore, he could not think of a better solution at the moment.
In the distance, the village chief Gao and the villagers were building "houses". Although it was called a house, it was actually very fake. They just hollowed out the middle of a big, air-dried pumpkin, and then opened a small door for the whole family to live in.
More than two hundred people built a total of about fifty such "pumpkin houses". From afar, men and women were going in and out of the big pumpkins, it looked like a fairy tale world described in books.
Chu Yunsheng was also given one, it was the pumpkin under his butt. It took Old Yu's eldest son a whole night to finish it.
This child did not like to talk, he only knew how to work. Once he was full of food, his body seemed to have endless energy. He worked even harder than Chu Yunsheng.
Perhaps, for him, the discovery of the melon field had filled him with hope for a "happy" life in the future. Although he had never seen him smile, Chu Yunsheng could understand the look in his eyes, because they were very similar.
Chu Yunsheng opened his eyes and looked around. He saw a man wrapped in rags to keep out the cold was holding a little girl who was about eleven or twelve years old. They were "visiting" Old Yu's family, which was now Chu Yunsheng's "neighbor".
The little girl did not have many clothes to wear. Her feet, which were red from the cold, were still bare on the cold ground. From time to time, she would curl her little toes to resist the bone-piercing cold. However, it could still be seen that before the father and daughter came, she had 'dressed up' meticulously. At the very least, she was wearing a simple 'dress' made of withered plant twigs. She had also put on a pair of ragged trousers, which was rare. However, they might not have realized that in this way, the two thin legs of the little girl were particularly eye-catching and did not match her appearance.
The little girl's face, which was wrinkled because of the cold wind, had also been washed. Her mother even tied a yellow braid for the first time for her. The braid hung behind her head, fluttering happily with the cold wind.
The little girl looked a little nervous, probably because she was a little shy. She kept her head down and did not even dare to look at other people. However, the little hand that was tightly holding the corner of the clothes betrayed her nervous and complicated feelings at the moment.
"Is Old Yu home?" The little girl's father stood outside, stretched his neck, and said in a hoarse voice.
Other than the village chief Gao, he was wearing the only hat in the whole village. On the ragged edge of the hat, one could still see the words "Car Repair".
According to him, this was the only thing that his father had left for him during the age of light. However, almost no one in the village could read those words, so it was enough to show off.
There was no movement in the pumpkin house, but the little girl's father did not show any impatience. Instead, he waited patiently.
In the dark pumpkin house, a small, monster-like face looked at the father and daughter outside in panic, then quickly hid, not daring to see anyone.
When the little girl's father saw her, he imperceptibly frowned. Old Yu had been poisoned in his early years and had also suffered a serious illness. His wife was barely alive and he also had his monstrous younger sister as a burden. His eldest son was the only one in the family who worked hard to maintain the family's livelihood. This kind of family was one of the lowest in the village.
If it was in the past, he wouldn't even be interested in talking to this kind of family. He would even try to hide from them. But the wheel of fortune has turned. Even if you don't want to accept it, you have to accept it. This is called fate!
However, today was different from the past. Ever since that strange old man brought back Old Yu's fourth child, Old Yu's family's living conditions and status in the village had skyrocketed. Even the village chief came to visit them several times a day.
The reason why he was able to become one of the top 'rich' families in the village was because he had a good eye. It was not all because of his' genius' son.
On this side, he went through his little plan again and carefully analyzed all kinds of connections. He thought that he was one step ahead of those idiots. After waiting for a while, he saw Old Yu carrying a withered vine on his back. He coughed violently and moved with difficulty towards his pumpkin house.
Old Yu's heart ached for his eldest brother who worked day and night, so he went out with his eldest brother early in the morning. When he came back, he saw the father and daughter at the door. He suddenly felt a little flattered. He hurriedly put down the vine and walked a few steps forward to greet them.
"Old Yu, how have you been recently?" The little girl's father was very satisfied with Old Yu's expression. This meant that his next plan would be much smoother.
However, when he looked at the clothes and shoes that even the village chief couldn't wear on Old Yu's feet, he faintly felt a little jealous, or rather, jealous.
Those were clothes that were in perfect condition. Although they didn't fit well, other than the people in the fort, it was impossible for someone in a dilapidated settlement like theirs to wear.
"Okay, okay. Why are you here?" Old Yu was clumsy with his words. He rubbed his hands and didn't know what to say. The person in front of him was one of the four 'rich families' in the village. Although the people in the settlement were already at the bottom of the scorched earth, there were still different levels in this bottom layer.
Just like how the people in the poor settlement would also look down on the savages. Even in the eyes of the 'celestials', they were almost no different from the savages. However, they themselves didn't think so. They would often say things like, "Those savages are so pitiful …"
Or when they were scaring the children, they would say things like, "If they don't listen to me, I'll throw them outside to be savages."
It sounded ridiculous, but it was indeed the only thing that they could be 'proud' of. No matter how pitiful this' pride 'was, they didn't feel it at all.
The little girl's father had this kind of mentality. He believed that his son would have the opportunity to live in the fort in the future, so he used to look down on his' neighbors'. However, it was different today. When it was time to put down his pride, he would not hesitate. Thus, he replied with a smile,
"It's nothing big. I just came to chat with you."
Old Yu laughed foolishly and said, "Look at me outside. Do you want to come in?"
"No need, no need. Let's talk outside." The little girl's father glanced at the pumpkin house. He probably didn't want to see the little monster, so he waved his hand and said, "Just your sister-in-law. She nagged me the whole night last night. She said that life is better now and we don't have to worry about food for the time being. She's a woman and she's worried for nothing. She thought that Third Lass isn't young anymore. She should take advantage of the good times and find a good family to marry."
Speaking up to this point, the little girl's father paused and looked at Old Yu's expression. Seeing the other person's disbelief, he smiled slightly and said,
"Old Yu, you know my family's situation. Eldest Son died of illness before he was three years old. Although Second Son is a good worker, he won't be able to stay in the village sooner or later. We still have to rely on Third Lass in the future."
Old Yu was completely dumbfounded. It was as if he had been hit by a huge pie. He almost couldn't believe his ears and stammered, "Older Brother Yang, you, this, this is?"
The little girl's father held Old Yu's shoulder and pulled the little girl forward, "I won't beat around the bush. What do you think of my Third Lass? Is she worthy of your eldest son?"
"Ah?" Old Yu opened his mouth wide and only reacted after a long time. He panicked and said, "She's worthy, she's worthy. No, no, I mean, our eldest son is not worthy of Third Son."
Old Yu couldn't be blamed for losing his composure. Although his eldest son was only fourteen or fifteen years old, according to the tradition of the settlement, he should have been married a long time ago. However, because Old Yu's family was too poor and had many burdens, no one in the other settlements was willing to marry their daughter to his family and suffer, let alone in the village. As a result, his eldest son was considered 'older' in Broken Peak Settlement.
"What are you saying? I have my eyes on our eldest son. Anyone in the village who has eyes knows that this child is filial and capable. He is the head of the family and will do all the hard work. I can rest assured if I hand Third Lass over to him. "The little girl's father deliberately said with a straight face.
"This, this …" Old Yu didn't know whether he was happy or helpless after being scolded by his father. His eldest son's matter had always been a knot in his heart. He even thought of finding a savage girl for his eldest son.
"I think if you don't object, then it's settled. When the current affairs in the village are over, we will find a good day to settle the children's matter!" The little girl's father thought that it was time to make the final decision, so he said to his daughter, "Dong Er, kowtow to your father-in-law first, then it's settled."
The little girl was extremely nervous. When she heard her father's words, she crawled on the ground and kowtowed without thinking. When she got up, she secretly looked at her eldest son, who was not far away from her, and her face blushed.
"Quick, get up, good girl, I …" Old Yu was very excited. He touched his pockets all over his body, but he couldn't find anything. He suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Take this, it's a gift from Old Yu's family to my daughter-in-law." Chu Yunsheng gently slid down from the top of the pumpkin, took out a small bag of "salt" from the storage talisman, and handed it to the little girl with a smile.
He didn't have much to compensate those children whose life force was taken away by him. The only thing he had was some clothes and salt, which was extremely precious and rare in the yellow mountain area. Not only Old Yu's family got it, but also the families of those children who had died. He just wanted to have a clear conscience.
At this time, he saw his eldest son, who had been "hiding" on the side, blushed. Seeing Chu Yunsheng saw him, he quickly looked away, lowered his head, and pretended to work.
But he didn't know whether he was trying to prove himself to Chu Yunsheng or to prove himself to his future father-in-law and wife.
But Chu Yunsheng could see that his eldest son's desire for "happiness" was getting stronger and stronger. He actually smiled miraculously.
