Traveling through ancient times to survive

Chapter 16 Big Brother Comes Home

After closing the mall, Zhao Qing began to receive the initiation, and a familiar feeling came over him.

After receiving the information, Zhao Qing, the sharpshooter, felt that he could shoot the birds in the woods with his eyes closed. After reveling in himself, Zhao Qing began to practice body-building techniques.

There are 18 movements in total, from simple to complex, which can exercise all the muscles in the body. As Zhao Qing performed the movements one by one, his body, which had been able to do anything easily since taking the genetic evolution liquid, felt tired again. After completing the whole set of movements, Zhao Qing was sweating profusely.

At dawn the next day, Zhao Qing got up and followed Li Wu's instructions, stretching his muscles and bones first, then squatting. After two incense sticks, Zhao Qing was still steady and refreshed.

Li Wu was surprised: "Qing girl, you have a good foundation. Have you practiced before?"

"No, Uncle Li, I just did some running for exercise in the last two months."

"Your lower body is very stable, get up. I will teach you the moves directly."

Li Wu practiced it once, and then he finished and said, "Qing girl, practice it first."

Zhao Qing quickly went over all the key points of the movements in his mind, and then performed all the moves accurately.

Li Wu's eyes widened in disbelief. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He exclaimed in amazement: "What a genius! You memorized all the moves after watching them once, and all the key points of the moves were correct."

"Uncle Li, you're so kind."

"You don't need me to correct you. Practice well in the future, integrate the skills into your body memory, and then break down the moves. Don't just follow the moves stroke by stroke rigidly."

"Okay, Uncle Li."

"I'll teach you a few more unique skills."

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

In the morning, he practiced martial arts, went hunting in the mountains at noon, and prepared spiritual food rice balls. He also filled the water tank in the space with stream water. In the afternoon, he went to the town to sell the prey, and came back to cook in the evening. After more than 20 days of regular life, the house next door was built, and Li Wu and his son moved back to their own home.

The two families hosted a banquet for the whole village as planned. Li Heng, who had not shown up for a long time, came out to meet the guests. Everyone knew that Li Wu's family had a godlike young master, the only pity was that his health was not very good.

Many unmarried girls blushed secretly. After that, the village became much more lively, with young girls passing by from time to time on various pretexts.

Zhao Qing didn't have many friends in the village because of his strength, and he always kept to himself. But because of Li Heng, many girls came to him to date him. Zhao Qing was so annoyed by the harassment that he ran away from home before dawn.

Li Heng, who was at the center of the incident, remained indifferent. He stayed at home and seldom went out. The girls' boiling hearts finally calmed down, and the village returned to peace.

Zhao Qing, who was still anxious and didn't know what the future would bring, was feasting heartily in the kitchen. The excitement in the front had died down, and the villagers were going home in twos and threes, praising the sumptuous banquet along the way.

Li Wu's face was embarrassed: "Brother Chengchuan, and my sister-in-law, I have to trouble you again. I have to go out for something important, and I don't know when I will be back. I entrust my Heng'er's three meals a day to you. Here are ten taels of silver, you can't refuse this time."

Zhao Chengchuan: "That's it? I thought it was a big deal! Don't worry, Brother Li, I promise to take good care of my nephew. You can take the money back. Why would we give you money for our relationship?"

Wang Mei: "That's right. Your little master taught Dezhang to recognize quite a few characters. We didn't give him any money, so we actually got the upper hand."

Li Wu: "So Dezhang should continue to learn to read with Heng'er?"

Zhao Chengchuan: "Will it hinder my nephew's studies?"

Li Wu: "How could that be? Heng'er is not feeling well and it is inconvenient for him to go out. Dezhang can go over and keep him company."

Zhao Chengchuan: "Then I'll trouble you, nephew."

Li Wu left on horseback the next day, and Zhao Dezhang delivered three meals a day to Li Heng. In return, Zhao Dezhang continued to learn calligraphy from Li Heng.

Zhao Chengchuan finally had some free time and took over the business in town.

At the back door of the restaurant, the manager joked, "Hey, Zhao, I haven't seen you here for a while. Are you not satisfied with our place and have found a new buyer?"

"How is that possible? Everyone in the town knows that Manager Lin offers the most fair price. Where else can I go? I was injured three months ago and have been recovering ever since."

"Are you feeling well?"

"I have raised them all, otherwise I would never have dared to go up the mountain."

Manager Lin advised: "Be careful, it doesn't matter if you earn less money."

"Thank you for the reminder, Steward."

Seeing that Zhao Chengchuan had listened to his advice, Manager Lin asked, "Where is today's prey?"

"On the bullock cart behind me."

"Buying a bullock cart? It seems that you made a lot of money three months ago."

Seeing that Manager Lin had misunderstood, Zhao Chengchuan did not explain and sold the prey on the ox cart, earning sixteen taels and four hundred coins.

Zhao Chengchuan went to the grain shop to buy some grain. As his daughter said, the prices of all grains had increased a lot. Zhao Chengchuan bought another six taels of silver worth of grain.

Zhao Chengchuan was driving back to the village absentmindedly when a dusty young man carrying a package appeared in front of him.

The young man heard the sound and turned around, ready to give way. The ox cart slowly drove towards him. He opened his eyes wide and rubbed them hard. At this time, the ox cart had passed him and was moving forward.

Seeing his father ignoring him and continuing to move forward, Zhao Deyan couldn't believe it and ran while shouting: "Dad! Wait for me!"

After a while, Zhao Chengchuan came back to his senses: "Someone seems to be calling dad?"

He stopped the cart and looked back. A figure in the distance saw the cart stop and ran faster. Zhao Deyan caught up with him, hunched over, holding his thigh, panting.

Zhao Chengchuan was surprised: "Deyan? You are back? Why didn't you send a message first?"

Zhao Deyan took a deep breath and said aggrievedly: "Dad, I've only been away for three months, and you don't recognize me? I called you for a long time but you ignored me!"

Zhao Chengchuan looked embarrassed: "Ah, Dad was just lost in thought and didn't pay attention."

Zhao Deyan was dissatisfied: "What are you thinking about that you even forgot about your son?"

Zhao Chengchuan: "You little brat, why are you talking about your father? Come up first and let's go home together."

Zhao Deyan lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw a pile of bags inside. He asked curiously: "Dad, what did you buy? The carriage is full, I'd better sit in the front."

Zhao Chengchuan: "It's all food."

Zhao Deyan climbed up to the front driver's seat and asked, "What's going on, Dad? Buying so much food?"

Zhao Chengchuan whipped the ox cart gently and set off. He explained nonchalantly: "Sit tight. Our family has split up and we have no food to eat. We can only buy some first."

"What! Splitting up the family? Grandpa and grandma are finally willing to let us go?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhao Deyan whispered: "That's right. My eldest uncle has a grandson who studies hard and is the apple of my grandparents' eyes. My third uncle's family flatters and pleases my grandparents, but my family is the one that gets taken advantage of and works so hard but is treated the worst."

"Alright, no talking about elders."

"Okay, then where do we live now? There is no place for us in the old house."

"It was the former Li family's place. We bought it and renovated the house."
