Zhou Man has a lot of things to do, the first thing is to put the extra toothpaste, salt and other things bought at home into the back basket, put the back bag on his back, call Ying Feichi and go out again.

Ying Feichi saw that he was carrying half of the basket, and the ropes of the basket had drawn deep marks on his shoulders, and an unknown emotion surged in his heart, a little sour and sad.In fact, it was distressing, but Ying Feichi didn't know.He just thought about it, twirled his fingers, and formed a seal to wrap a cloud of spiritual energy around the basket.

Zhou Man only felt a sudden lightness on his back, his first reaction was that the basket was leaking, and his second reaction was to turn his head to look at Ying Feichi.

"It's a transporting spell." Ying Feichi whispered, "I'm afraid you're too tired."

No wonder.Zhou Man smiled gratefully and said, "Don't bother."

"I've already built the foundation, it's nothing." Ying Feichi said, "Go on."

Zhou Man could only quicken his pace, followed by a bouncing child.Zhou Man found a few families in the village who were better off, and exchanged salt and toothpaste for [-] to [-] catties of rice, [-] catties of tea oil, and a can of lard.In Guanjiang Village, people mainly eat tea seed oil, and it is also necessary to teach Ying Feichi to speak the local dialect on the way.

Ying Feichi half understood, but he could tell that Zhou Man had a good relationship with everyone.Ying Feichi is extremely sensitive to malice. He can feel that many people don't like Zhou Man. Ying Feichi is very familiar with the way they secretly look at Zhou Man. .Back then, everyone in the Langfeng faction looked at him like this, and they were even more unscrupulous.

When the two came out from a villager's house after changing tea oil, Ying Feichi whispered, "They don't like you, they look so wary at your eyes, as if they are afraid that you will eat and drink for nothing at their house, what are you doing?" Are you still being polite to them?" He was still smiling, and if he was asked to say, he would never greet someone with a smile on his face who was rude to him.

"There's no need to get into trouble with them." Zhou Man smiled and said, "Most people in the village treat me very well, and everyone is relative. I don't care. The others are neighbors and relatives, so we can't make things difficult for them."

"Then why are you so rude to that person in the morning?" Ying Feichi was puzzled.Although he didn't understand, Zhou Man was beating, parading and threatening, so why was he not polite?

"That's different." Zhou Man said, "You are more ruthless to a rascal than he is, so that he is afraid of you. For those who are six points good and four points bad but dare not tear themselves apart, if you are polite to him, he will keep his face Heping doesn’t fight with you. You are more insidious than him when dealing with a sinister villain. Every time he sets a trick for you, you have to use that trick to backhand him. In short, when dealing with a person, you have to take He has a weakness and chooses the method appropriately."

"Oh." Ying Feichi nodded. At this time, the two of them had finished changing the things they wanted to change and were walking back.The roads in the mountain village are lined with tall fir trees, covered with thick shade, and the sound of birds is faint, so quiet that people can relax without knowing it.Ying Feichi suddenly asked: "If someone... after the death of a common relative, you treat him as the only relative. However, he is afraid of you and wants to...well, give you to other relatives. what to do?"

Zhou Man glanced at the child under the cover of the thick shade, and found that his head was lowered, and he couldn't see any expression, only the bun on the top of his head could be seen.Zhou Man knew that he was talking about himself, and when he thought about the Shimen he mentioned before, he understood.

"According to what you said, that person should be very particular about his reputation." Zhou Man said, "He feared me, but he didn't dare to abuse me. Instead, he gave me to another relative, probably a poor relative. He should He will use the excuse that he is too busy to discipline, and then when others bully me, he will behave like a strict discipliner who hates iron and steel, and punishes me severely."

He nodded every time he said Ying Feichi, and Zhou Man glanced at him after the last sentence, Ying Feichi responded involuntarily: "Yes, that's it! Hmph!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had slipped his mouth. Why is there a person?Zhou Man is so smart, how could he not guess that person is him?

Ying Feichi was a little embarrassed. Telling his worthless past to someone who desperately wanted to be good, he felt so ashamed that he wanted to go underground.This embarrassment was different from the humiliation given to him by his classmates, but he couldn't tell what was the difference, and only one thought remained in his mind: I am so useless, he must despise me to death!

Zhou Man just walked forward with his things on his back, and said nonchalantly: "The most important thing to deal with this kind of person is to use his reputation to do things. Does the elder who passed away have many old friends? Does the family often come to the house? When the guests come, tease other people and let them bully me in the usual way, and then I make a big noise, let the guests know that I am not only sent away without saying a word, but also bullied, even if the guests don’t want to Standing up for me, this matter will be exposed, and the old friend of the deceased relative will come to me to uphold justice. At worst, I can slap him in the face. In short, it is to force that person to have to for his good reputation. Raise me well and kindly."

Ying Feichi thought that in the past, besides making troubles, he forced Xunzi to be cleared, and what he got was either punishment or a heavier punishment. Hearing Zhou Man's words, he seemed to be enlightened.He couldn't help but think that if he didn't cause trouble when the master's fellow Taoists were visiting, he would meet those elders and tell them about his being sent to the elder Miaofa and his spirit root being deactivated, maybe things would be different.

"Why am I not as smart as you?" Ying Feichi murmured, "Why didn't I meet you sooner? It would be great if you grew up with me."

It's not too late to meet now.Zhou Man thought in his heart, you are still a child, I will teach you now, decades are just a flick of a finger for you cultivators, and the wisdom of my two lifetimes combined to teach you, you will not need it in the future Afraid of being bullied.

"But if Qing Xunzi hadn't harmed me, I wouldn't have met you. I didn't expect Qing Xunzi to do a good thing." Ying Feichi laughed again after thinking about it, and said to himself: "Why are you so Is it great?"

"I've seen it a lot, so I'll know it naturally." Zhou Man stopped him, "Now that you're home, where are you going?"

Ying Feichi knew that sentence after hearing it too much, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart.In fact, Zhou Man's situation is much worse than his. After all, he was taken care of by his master when he was a child, but Zhou Man has been watching other people's faces since he was a child, and seeking his own future from a meal and a penny.No matter how difficult it was for him in the Langfeng faction, Qing Xunzi still had to find an excuse to create an accident if he wanted to kill him.How much care did Zhou Man take to grow up?But not only is he not cynical and extreme, he is also so mature and gentle, he treats good people well and bad people badly, neither weak nor bullying.How rare!

Zhou Man, don't worry, I will plot against you, and you don't have to worry about me.Ying Feichi thought to himself, I will treat you very well.

But how to treat Zhou Man well is a difficult problem.Ying Feichi knew how capable he was, and had already tried his best to help him.Cooking can't make a fire - because he really doesn't know how to use matches, and they will be broken accidentally, and the flame will be wiped off if they are not broken.And he is of the water attribute, so he cannot practice any fire spells, so he still has to make a fire.Except for steaming rice, Ying Feichi really has no talent for cooking. The yams left at home are all cut up and cooked in soup. The family was in a difficult situation, and no food, rice, oil or salt could be wasted. Ying Feichi was so distressed that he didn't dare to touch it, so he had to let Zhou Man come.

"Zhou Man, what can I do for you?" Ying Feichi squatted by the stove watching the fire, frowning.

"What else do you want to do?" Zhou Man answered while cutting bamboo shoots.The bamboo shoots were cut by the two of them on the mountain today. The yellow bamboo shoots are generally the size of a woman's wrist, and the larger ones can be as thick as a sea bowl.Peel off the old skin on the mountain, and take it home to make dried bamboo shoots or sour bamboo shoots.

Here we must distinguish between sour bamboo shoots and sour bamboo shoots. Generally speaking, sour bamboo shoots are fresh bamboo shoots that are cut and soaked in water, and boiled again when eating.The sour bamboo shoots are added to the noodles. After the whole production, they are cut and sprinkled in the noodles to eat.

The bamboo shoots that Zhou Man is cutting now are used to make bamboo shoots. There is no special secret recipe, just cut the bamboo shoots and soak them in clean water.Do not add any other things. Oily hands or impurities in the water—for example, tap water in later generations will not work—will cause the bamboo shoots to rot quickly in the water and become inedible.Only the cleanest hands and the purest water can produce the best bamboo shoot sour.

"You can help me watch the fire and steam rice. You can help me collect firewood when I go up the mountain, you can help me carry bamboo shoots when I cut bamboo shoots, and you can help me use spells to support my basket when I carry things. You can also sweep the floor. Make a bed with water, you can do enough at such a young age."

"Young?" Ying Feichi sighed when he heard the sound of him chopping bamboo shoots. "Zhou Man, I'm sixteen, you're seventeen, how do you know I'm young?"

I was 41 when I died, and you were my son when you were sixteen. Why aren’t you young?Zhou Man said in his heart, but he still kept the matter a secret and remained silent.

Ying Feichi was thinking about what he did in the Langfeng school in the past, how did the Langfeng school do things like fetching water, sweeping the floor, cooking and laundry?It seems... there is a spell?There are spells everywhere.

"Zhou Man, do you have a knife at home?" Ying Feichi asked early in the morning.

Zhou Man remembered the ox horn knife he had snatched, and gave it to him, and then said: "I won't look for bamboo shoots today, we will make dried bamboo shoots from the ones I carried back last night."

This is exactly what Ying Feichi wanted.
