Chapter 3 Sober
Zhao Neng is the only son in the family. He studied and practiced calligraphy since he was a child. Because he could not practice Qi and qigong, he was often ridiculed as a waste by his classmates. Although he was tall, rich and handsome, he was not favored by girls, except for Chang and his cousins.
Playing together, no friends.
This spring, Zhao Neng turned 16 and held a coming-of-age ceremony before going to the counter of his father's shop, intending to take over the business of his shop after a few years of exercise.
The family is free from conflicts with the world, no illness or disaster, and no worries in life.
Zhao Neng's eldest cousin Chen Yunfeng is nineteen years old this year. Although he is very diligent and has the support of his family, he has reached the fifth level of Qi training due to the influence of the Zhao family's bloodline. In addition to the fact that nothing unexpected happens, he will be eliminated by the family in about one year to help his father run a shop that specializes in purchasing wild animal fur, bones and internal organs.
The second cousin Wan Pingbo is seventeen years old this year and has only reached the fourth level of Qi training. He is also a representative of poor qualifications and the target of being eliminated.
The other five cousins all practice Qi first and second levels and have no qualifications. They have a common language with Zhao Neng, a "waste" and can play together.
There are unexpected situations in the world!
At the beginning of last year, the king of Wu, which had been calm for more than 200 years, died suddenly, and the eldest prince and the ninth prince fought for the throne. The country fell into turmoil and the surrounding area was no longer peaceful.
"Nan'er wakes up?"
The old lady ran in from outside with a steadily pace. She was also from the Chen family. She was a sixth-level Qi training class. She was in her sixties. She had no hunchback and no bent waist. She is now the pillar of the family.
Zhao Neng's mother Chen Jingqin and his grandmother are relatives and nephews. The Chen family was born in a vassal state and reached the fourth level of Qi training at the age of 20. After marrying Zhao Neng's father, with the support of Zhao family resources, after being promoted to the fifth level at the age of 25, he stopped moving forward.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are also targets of low qualifications and abandoned by the family.
The Chen family also considers that the Zhao family and son are kind, have good business and are well-off, so they have a good arrangement for the eliminated descendants.
The Zhao family has strong yin and yang, strong women and gentle men, and the Chen family influence, although the Zhao family, who cannot practice qi and qigong have no reputation in Chenjiacheng, they are low-key and kind, and they are not bullied.
"grandmother……"
Zhao Neng saw the kind grandmother remembered the grandmother in his previous life. Because both parents died, the old man's sick body was destroyed. After his parents left, the grandmother wanted to take care of him, but was powerless. When he thought that he was hit by a car, the kind grandmother didn't know how sad it was. She thought that she had not taken good care of her grandson and was ashamed of her dead son and daughter-in-law. She didn't know if she would die? Her recklessness might cause her grandmother to die. She felt ashamed of her eldest and second aunts, and she burst into tears.
"Neng'er, don't cry! The men of the Zhao family are not allowed to cry!"
"Mother, father..."
When Zhao Neng saw the filial piety clothes and hat on his mother and aunt, he knew the result. His father's tall image surged into his mind, and his father's love was as good as the sky!
"Neng'er, your father is gone..."
The sister-in-law's shoulders trembled violently, hugged each other and cried bitterly, and grandma kept wiping her tears.
"Father……"
The mountain in his heart collapsed, and his heart ached, and Zhao Neng fell into a drowsy again.
It was the early morning of the second day that Zhao Neng woke up again. His stomach started to rumbling and woke up hunger! His mind was clear, the severe pain in his chest had disappeared, the wound was itchy, and the wound was slowly healing.
Grandpa and father have been managing medicinal materials all year round, including internal organs, yin and yang, five elements, four qi and five flavors, and combination rules. They can see minor problems with headaches and fever. These common medical knowledge have been passed on to the clever Zhao Neng.
Zhao Neng stretched his legs and moved his arms in the quilt. He found that there was no obstacle. He turned his head and saw his mother lying on the edge of the bed. His black hair was faintly gray. His husband died tragically. His only son had no idea of life and death. He turned his head white overnight! His eyes were wet, and the embarrassment of possession had disappeared. This was his mother, a relative who depended on each other.
To avoid waking his mother, Zhao Neng lay motionless on the bed, and began to think about life with his eyes open.
The two teenagers had sixteen years of knowledge filled their minds. You are me, I am you, there is no discomfort at all. The age and name are the same. I am Zhao Neng, and Zhao Neng is himself! Although my father left, he also had his mother, grandma, two aunts, two aunts, seven cousins, and spacious houses. The Zhao family was low-key, poor, rich and martial, and the Zhao family could not practice Qi and qigong for six generations, saving a lot of money. The wealth of thousands of yuan seemed to be hidden in their parents' bedroom, which was the room where grandpa's grandfather lived. Zhao Neng was curious when he was a child and searched under the bed, but no clue was found.
Grandma, mother and two uncles' families are both local families. My father has no enemies. My mother is safe and secure. There is also a shop that has been operating for more than 200 years, with two floors and more than 300 square meters. The second floor stores the purchased medicinal materials, and the first floor is for business. There are stables in the yard behind, and four small rooms are built for the living of the shop.
After my father left, his business would inevitably be affected, but he would rent the shop to others and not spend his money on his old business, so his mother and mother would have no worries about their lives.
Two hundred years of peaceful life have been broken!
In the past, my father only brought two men on the way to deliver goods, but nothing happened. Over the past year, strong men have appeared many times! In order to ensure the safety of two cars of expensive medicinal materials, my father specially handed the medicinal materials to eight escort masters from the Chen Family Escort Agency. Unexpectedly, something happened! It seems that in addition to his "lucky" to save his life, the whole army was wiped out! If more than 20,000 silver medicinal materials are gone, the escort agency will compensate; if the two men's pension shop is paid, the money and property are not lost, but the father's love is like a mountain, and the business partner collapses with his father's sudden death. This is a huge loss! In the future, the family can only rely on itself to support it, and the carefree life is over!
The world has changed, grandma is getting older day by day, and she has no time to do it. In the troubled times, how to ensure the safety of her family property and the three of her mother has become the top priority that Zhao Neng must consider...
"Sister Qin goes to sleep for a while, I will take care of her if I can!"
My younger sister-in-law Zhao Xin walked in with the old lady, and their eyes were still swollen. Zhao Xin gently pushed her sister-in-law.
"grandmother……"
"Neng'er wakes up? Come and have a drink of hot water!"
My mother's swollen face turned bloody.
"Mother, I can't be hungry!"
"Hey, Neng'er wants to eat something! Mr. Chen said he could eat some porridge! Xiaoxiang, bring the porridge in for the young master."
The old lady's face showed a look.
"Grandma, Neng'er thought..." Zhao Neng was about to urinate, a little embarrassed.
"Neng'er is going to get rid of her little slacks, grandma will bring you a urinary!"
"Grandma, Neng'er wants to get out of bed and go to the toilet to get rid of it myself!"
Although he was a close relative, a man felt embarrassed to urinate in front of three women.
"How can that be? The doctor said it's best to rest in bed for half a month!"
"Grandma, my sister-in-law, Neng'er's chest no longer hurts. Except for her head a little dizzy, her legs and feet are all good. She can get out of bed!"
Zhao Neng also wanted to get out of bed and walk around, move his qi and blood, and recover faster from the wound. He also wanted to get familiar with the world as soon as possible. Seeing that it was true, he still had fantasies that he had merged with Zhao Neng's soul. Try to try to practice qi?
"Sister Qin, since you can get out of bed, let him get out of bed and walk around?"
This sister-in-law is also a very opinionated person. Her sister and brother's children all listen to her, and her husband also discussed with her on major issues.
"Xiaoxiang, put the porridge on the table first and take the young master's fur coat over. It's windy outside!"
"Yes, old lady!"
