The sunset is setting, the afterglow is falling on the top of the mountain, and Chu Tian stands on the fork in the village with a crutch.

In the afternoon, he climbed up the mountain and watched Baishui Village bathing in the sun. But when it was almost dark at the entrance of the village, he finally came back.

Baishui Village is not big, and you can see it at a glance from the east to the west of the village. There are less than a hundred families. Young people, except for their poor health and bad brains, most of them go out to make a living and don’t come back once a year. The whole village is full of old, weak, sick and disabled.

I didn't meet anyone along the way. Chu Tian came to the second-last house in the east of the village. The slightly tilted gate of the courtyard was half-closed, and you could vaguely hear the sound of water throwing the wooden barrel into the well. I think it was Shui Bo who was getting water. It was time to make dinner when he saw the time.

Chu Tian pushed the door open and entered, but was stunned when he was about to speak.

Unlike the imagined scene, I saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl standing by the well, holding the rope with her little hands and pulling it up with difficulty. Her face turned red and her forehead was covered with sweat, as if she had used all her strength.

When the bucket is lifted up, the poor well water is poured into the clay pot carefully. If it is accidentally sprinkled, I may have to make another water.

She put down the bucket and then realized Chu Tian coming.

"Why are you fetching water, Bo Shui?" Chu Tian asked, snatching the bucket, frowned slightly, and after changing hands, he threw the bucket into a well.

"elder brother……"

The moment Yiyi saw Chu Tian, ​​her eyes turned red, and she couldn't help but roll down, and her little face suddenly burst into tears.

Chu Tian left these days, she was alone at home, fetching water and chopping wood, cooking rice and decocting medicine. In order to save enough water, her hands were blisters. Even so, she never cried.

But now when I see my brother, I feel sad and wronged and vent my heart.

"Be good, stop crying. It's so big that you still cry, and you don't feel embarrassed." Chu Tian smiled and touched his little head, comforting him for a long time, and couldn't help but wonder. Before leaving, Uncle Shui was still there and told him to take care of his little sister. Did something happen?

"It's embarrassing, it's embarrassing. Anyway, my brother is here, so I'm not afraid of embarrassing." Yiyi let go of Chu Tian, ​​raised her head and stared at her brother with a grievance, "Brother, don't leave Yiyi alone in the future, okay?"

"Okay, I will accompany you from now on, and I will cry like a cat. Hurry up and go wash and I will cook."

"Um……"

Watching Yiyi trot into the house, Chu Tian smiled slightly, letting go of his doubts for a while, after rushing for a day, he was hungry, and cooking was the main thing. Yiyi is still growing, so naturally she can't be hungry.

Go to the kitchen and scan it

There was nothing but noodles in the circle, Chu Tian frowned slightly. Fortunately, when he hunted the monster, he stored a lot of flesh and was not short of ingredients.

Since childhood, although Shui Bo has been taking care of him, he still can do all kinds of housework.

After a while, Chu Tian prepared the meal.

The two of them squatted under the big locust tree in the yard, holding a black pottery bowl in their hands, and didn't have any extra dishes. They covered the fried meat with meat, looked at each other, and started the competition.

The two of them picked up their faces and stuffed them into their mouths... Chu Tian finished eating the noodles in a few bites.

"Himmer~~~"

He burped and showed a winning smile.

When I was a child, Yiyi didn’t like to eat, so Chu Tian came up with this solution. Now that I don’t like this, I always feel that eating is not good.

After dinner, Chu Tian pulled Yiyi down the room. At this moment, it was completely dark outside. Oil lamps were lit in the room, and the fire was swaying. The two of them sat opposite each other, and Chu Tian took out the essence of the wooden spirit.

"So beautiful, brother, what is this?" Yiyi said curiously and took it into her hand.

"Do you like it?"

"like!"

…

The essence of the wood spirit was placed in his hand, and the surface was flashing green, a little hazy, like countless fireflies gathered together. Yiyi's face was filled with joy, "If you have this thing, you won't need kerosene to light the lamp in the future, which can save a lot of money."

Chu Tian smiled bitterly, "Silly girl, this is not used to light the lamp, it was my brother who asked me to treat you."

Yiyi was stunned, looked at the wooden spirit essence in her hand, and said after a long time:

"Brother, why don't you go to the city to sell the things? I don't want to treat the disease... Anyway, it's not cured for so many years, so it's better to save some money and keep it for life."

"Silly girl, what are you saying?" Chu Tian touched his little head and reminded: "Take the things quickly. If you keep them for a long time, the effect of the medicine will be weak."

Yiyi nodded, put the wooden spirit essence into her mouth, and then swallowed it into her belly.

The essence of the wood spirit is the foundation of the tree demon in the Spiritual Breath Realm. The energy gathering is much gentler than the essence of the monster beast. There will be no discomfort when swallowed directly into the body.

Now Yiyi can't see any changes, but Chu Tian knew that this wood spirit essence would continue to nourish the younger sister's body, and ultimately not only improve her physical fitness, but also have the opportunity to awaken the heavenly spirit body.

From Chu Tian's eyes, he also observed for several days before he concluded that the "Heaven Spirit Body" is different from the general innate Spirit Body and is extremely difficult to detect. The awakening process is very long, unless he is fed spiritual medicine to protect the body since he was a child, and the impurities in the body are completely eliminated from the body.

Now that Yiyi is thirteen years old, she has already passed the best awakening time, and Chu Tian is just holding a little fantasy.

"Your health will get better from now on, go to bed quickly." Chu Tian said with a smile.

...

The next morning, as soon as Chu Tian got up, the village chief came to the door.

As soon as he entered the yard, he was stunned at first when he looked at Chu Tian, ​​and said, "Xiao Chu, I haven't seen you in the village these days. I thought you've gone to the town. It turned out that you were putting your home, so why didn't you go up the mountain with everyone? Old Yang has been thinking about accepting you as his apprentice."

Chu Tian glanced at him, "Didn't your son go? I can't do such a good business."

The village chief was not angry, but felt relieved. This was a technical job, so he would have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life. Such good things would naturally be left to his son.

"Xiao Chu, don't say that. Although I am not a native of Baishui Village, I am still smart when I see the growing up." The village chief chatted for a few words and got to the point.

"You are not young anymore, and staying at home is not a solution. I guess you are looking for a job in the town. If you are younger in our village, you will go out to work. You can't stay in the mountains and valleys for the rest of your life."

"There is a coffin shop in the east of the town, and it is recruiting apprentices. It's not much money, but it's not a craft."

…

Chu Tian looked at him, but remembered that he had asked him for help introduction, but he didn't expect that he really cared about it.

However, I have started practicing now. There is no need to do this. I have tens of thousands of taels of silver in my hand. I dare not do anything and I will be free for the rest of my life.

"I appreciate your kindness. I don't have this idea yet. Let's change someone else." Chu Tian refused directly.

The village chief's face changed, "Why are you stupid boy ignorant? You are so soft that you have to be tough. Listen to my advice, those bandits are cruel characters who kill people without blinking. It is a blessing to be taken by your sister. You will never have to worry about food and clothing in the future, and you can take care of the young master of Baishui Village."

"What did you say?" Chu Tian was furious and grabbed the village chief and asked.

"You don't know yet... Let go, let go quickly. Even the village chief wants to beat him. Is there any rules?" the village chief said, trying to break free, but Chu Tian's palms were like iron pliers, and he didn't react at all.

"Say, if you don't say it clearly, throw you to the back mountain to feed the wild dogs." Chu Tian's veins bulged, and he seemed to be about to swallow the village elder alive.

Hearing the movement outside, Yiyi left the door and stood in the yard.

"elder brother……"
