Chapter 67 66. On the eve of moving
The next day.

At Uncle Zhang’s house.

"Dad, sell the land and the house. If you don't want to sell them, you can give them to relatives in the village."

At this time, Xu Qing and Xu's father were sitting in the lobby with the land deeds and house deeds on the table, while Xu's mother Liu Fang was making pancakes in the kitchen.

A faint scent of wheat floats in the air, and I can't help but drool when I smell it.

As for the eldest and second brothers, Uncle Zhang and others, they are not at home at the moment.

Although the tiger disaster in Ningyang Town has been eliminated, there is still a lot of follow-up work to be done, such as rescuing nearby villages, rounding up residents whose houses were destroyed in the city, and searching for those who have turned into tigers.

Uncle Zhang's family is a big family in Ningyang Town. He took the lead in leading other families to cooperate with the government to carry out post-disaster relief work.

The eldest and the second oldest went along to help.

"San'er, I know that these fields and houses will be useless if we move to Huai'an County."

It's not like there are thousands of acres of fertile land. Among the Xu family's land, only the two acres of fertile land and four acres of medium land are valuable. The other fields are actually wasteland that has been reclaimed with difficulty, and the output is pitifully low.

If there weren't four big bellies in the family, the Xu family wouldn't have bothered to reclaim these poor fields.

As for the house?
It's just a thatched mud house, with a roof that barely provides protection from the wind and rain, and is not worth anything at all.

"Dad, if you don't want to sell it or give it to me, just rent it out. You know, once no one takes care of the fields, weeds will soon grow again." Xu Qing continued to persuade.

After a moment of silence, Father Xu sighed and said, "Sell it to Uncle and the others at a lower price."

Xujia Village is a kinship village in which all families are related. All of Xu's father's direct blood relatives died in a natural disaster when he was fourteen or fifteen years old.

Only some uncles and aunts are left.

Xu Qing didn't expect that his father would agree so easily: "Dad, have you thought it through?"

"There's nothing to think about." Father Xu shook his head. "I've been a farmer all my life, and I can't read a single word, so I don't have much experience."

"So I went to talk to your uncle Zhang last night and got a better understanding of your current status.

Knowing that our whole family has gone to Huai'an, we don't have to worry about not being able to stay in the city one day, and returning home without our land and house, and having to beg for food from others."

"As for the excuse for selling the land and moving our family to Huai'an, just blame it on Old Zhang." Father Xu suddenly changed the subject and said, "I didn't tell anyone else about your going out to learn from a master."

"Didn't say?" Xu Qing was stunned.

"Yeah." Father Xu nodded slightly. "At first, I thought that if you didn't finish your studies and came back, you would be seen everywhere by the uncles and aunts in the village. I was afraid that you would lose face, and I was also afraid that they would gossip about you, so I didn't tell you."

"Now that you've achieved success so quickly, it's even harder to tell them. As relatives, it's okay to help them, but it's not good to be relied on by them."

"Putting the fact that we were able to move to Huai'an on Old Zhang is to rely on the help of outsiders, so that your uncles can't shamelessly come and ask for benefits."

"It just so happens that your Uncle Zhang is going back to your Taoist temple this time. Your uncles also know that I saved Uncle Zhang's life."

"Uncle Zhang is going back to the temple?" Xu Qing asked in surprise.

Is Uncle Zhang planning to abandon his family and go back to seek the truth?

"That's what he said." Father Xu nodded. "After what happened, he finally understood that if he continues to stay here, his spirit will be worn out sooner or later."

Xu Qing quite agreed. If Uncle Zhang continued to stay in Ningyang Town to save face for his family, it would probably be difficult for him to cultivate back to the peak of his refining skills.

It's very tiring to deal with such things. If you lose your determination, your future will be blocked.

"Dad, can they believe the excuse you gave?" Xu Qing brought the subject back. He was a little skeptical about such an excuse.

As an outsider, even if Xu's father had saved Uncle Zhang, it was absurd that Uncle Zhang took their entire family to Huai'an County in order to repay him for saving his life.

"Your uncle Zhang is a cultivator. In the eyes of ordinary people like us, cultivators have great powers. This kind of thing that sounds a bit impossible is not surprising for a cultivator."

Xu Qing ignored the awe that mortals in this world had for cultivators.

As long as it involves cultivators, many fantastic things can become very reasonable. Even if they are unreasonable, they will make up for it in their own imagination and rationalize the unreasonable. Just like some masters who become famous, every word and action, no matter what they do, has a deep meaning. Writing an article and describing a scene can allow you to analyze one, two or three connotations.

"I'll do whatever you want, as long as you're willing to go to Huai'an with me."

"Yes. I will also talk to your mother later and ask her not to help her family too much. It is best to keep the fact that you have become a cultivator a secret for the time being. As a father, you know the principle of helping in emergencies rather than helping the poor."

"When we have established a firm foothold in Huai'an City, the eldest and second sons will be able to make a living in the city without relying on you. You can bring these relatives with you if possible."

Xu Qing felt that Father Xu was being a little too cautious.

But Father Xu has his own considerations, and Xu Qing just respects him.

Father Xu was relieved to see that Xu Qing had no objection.

It was actually very difficult for him to say so many words in one breath, but fortunately these words had been brewing in his stomach for a whole night.

It's easier to say it out loud than to bump into things.

Father Xu considered so much, actually he just didn't want the family to become a burden to San'er. His own child has the potential to take off, and he shouldn't be held back by trivial matters.

Compared with other farmers, Xu's father is just as ignorant and cowardly, but his love for his children is clear-headed, which other farmers do not have.

After this conversation, Father Xu and Xu Qing gradually ran out of things to say.

"The pancakes are here!" At this time, Xu's mother Liu Fang brought a bowl of pancakes to the table and turned to look at Xu Qing, "Eat some first to fill your stomach."

"Mother is still cooking. Wait for your uncle Zhang and the eldest and second uncles to come back."

As soon as you mention Cao Cao, he will appear.

The eldest and second sons walked in from outside. As soon as they entered the room, the second son Xu Huai yelled, "Mom, I can smell the pancakes you made from a distance."

"Where is your Uncle Zhang?" While Xu's mother Liu Fang was asking, the second son Xu Huai had already run to the table, picked up the pancake and stuffed it into his mouth.

"He still has some things to deal with. He will come back for dinner after that." It was the eldest brother Xu Huo who answered.

Xu's mother Liu Fang glared at the second child in anger: "Eat slowly, you can't miss your share, you're like a starving ghost reincarnated."

"I know, mother." The second son Xu Huai said vaguely, "You cook delicious food."

"You're so poor." Xu's mother Liu Fang scolded.

He said it with disdain, but the tone and expression didn't seem like he was angry at all.

Xu Qing looked at the scene in front of him, sniffed the aroma of the pancakes, picked up a piece and took a bite, and for some reason he felt inexplicably at peace.

at this time.

Xu Qing suddenly felt that
Among the five internal organs and five elements in the body, the spleen and stomach corresponding to the mouth suddenly become active, driving the heart fire, kidney water, liver wood, and lung gold to circulate endlessly.

At the same time, the qi and blood in the body are also increasing little by little.

Although the degree of enhancement is very slight and will not lead to a breakthrough, if this state can be maintained for a long time, the time it takes for him to go from six orifices to seven orifices will be greatly shortened.

"Does the change in mood affect the qi of the five internal organs and the five elements?" Xu Qing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.

The state of refining essence is called opening the nine orifices, but in fact its essence is refining the internal organs. The so-called nine orifices of human are seven yang and two yin, and are all controlled by the five internal organs.

When people are in a good mood, their appetite will be particularly good. Emotional changes will also cause changes in the qi of the five internal organs and the five elements. This is the case with the changes that happened to Xu Qing just now.

Of course, this is also because Xu Qing’s eyes, ears, nose, and tongue have been opened.

These six orifices were opened, and the heart fire energy, kidney water energy, liver wood energy, and lung metal energy in Xu Qing's body were in a rising state.

Therefore, once the two pieces of land in the center moved, they immediately began to circulate.
