Chapter 03: Nangong's Outstanding Art History
In the back mountain of the family, Li Feng sat down on a flat stone. Looking at the bloody setting sun, his thoughts couldn't help but float back to his childhood.
Li Feng's deepest memory of his childhood is that since he was three years old, he would take off all his clothes by the old man every day and then take a bath with a very fragrant water. Every night, other children in the family would sleep on the soft bed, while he stayed in a small wooden barrel until dawn.
It is said that the very fragrant water is refined with many precious spiritual medicines, which costs at least 100 gold coins at a time, and the medicine can only be used for three days at a time.
One hundred gold coins are equivalent to the income of a middle-aged family in Yudan City for more than half a year. Li Feng has to change the medicine ten times a month, and he also needs one thousand gold coins in a month.
The old man can still get the expense of one thousand gold coins per month.
Even now, Li Feng believes that the reason why he has a stronger body than his peers is closely related to the liquids he soaked when he was a child.
When he was six years old, whenever the sun just rose, Li Feng would tie two sandbags on his calves and practice long-distance running around his compound. However, other children in the family could run to the streets to play and could eat delicious candied haws from time to time. In the afternoon, Li Feng would enter the lake in the back mountain to pull a raft to swim, and the old man would sit leisurely on the raft and humming a tune.
As always, Li Feng lost a lot of fun in his childhood.
Why can I only soak in the medicine barrel while others can lie on the soft bed?
Why do I have to run, swim, and make sandbags every day? But others can play on the street? And can I eat candied haws? Most importantly, those boys can hold hands, kiss and even play clothes stripping games with girls, but they can't?
Li Feng sometimes really doesn’t understand!
Although he didn't know why his old man wanted to do this himself, he still completed the tasks assigned to him every day without any complaints. Because he knew that the old man's orders should not be violated. If they violated, he would be unhappy and the consequences would be serious.
What impressed me most was one night in the early summer of the year when I was ten years old. Li Feng, who was soaking in the medicine barrel, heard the old man quarreling fiercely with another old man named Nangong Jueyi. He knew that Nangong Jueyi was the old man's best friend.
Nangong Jueyi is the hometown owner of the Nangong family in Nie Wangcheng, and the power of the Nangong family is also stronger than that of the Li family. Nangong Yue'er is the granddaughter of Nangong Jueyi. His engagement with Nangong Yue'er was finalized by these two old men when he was five years old.
In Li Feng's impression, these two old men have always been very harmonious, and he couldn't imagine why they quarreled.
Originally, Li Feng thought they had just quarreled for a while before they stopped, but they had quarreled for a whole night, which was completely unreasonable.
The next day, Nangong Jueyi came to his room very early and hugged him and sighed for a long time. The old man did not urge him to go to training. On this day, Li Feng ate many delicious foods that he had never eaten before, such as the lollipop and the braised fish.
On the third day, the old man Li Jingqiong carried a package and waved to Li Feng, "Let's go, grandpa will take you out for fun!"
Li Feng nodded excitedly. He had grown up so old, and the old man had never taken him out to play. He followed Li Jingqiong closely.
When he walked to the door of the house, Li Feng couldn't help but widen his eyes because Nangong Jueyi used his body to block the door. He stared at Li Jingqiong and cried, "Li Jingqiong, who is killed in the sky, are you really so heartless?"
Li Jingqiong frowned and shouted in a low voice with a calm face: "Get out of the way!"
Nangong Jueyi didn't say anything anymore. He bit his lips and shook his head hard, and his whole body was crossed at the door, blocking the way.
Li Jingqiong, who has always been calm in his temper, suddenly yelled at Nangong Jueyi: "Nangong Jueyi, if you still think I am your brother, you can get out of here! This is my lifelong hard work!"
"Old Qiong, don't do this. If you do this, there is a great possibility that this child will be ruined. Did you ruin such a good seedling just for less than one percent of the chance?" Nangong Jueyi was still persuading.
"Nangong Jueyi, please stop talking nonsense. Don't say that the chance is less than one percent. Even if it is one in ten thousand, I will let him try it! If we don't try, we will never succeed!" Li Jingqiong finished speaking, and then a white light shook out of his hand, setting Nangong Jueyi's figure in his hand.
Nangong Jueyi, who looked helpless, watched Li Feng pull out of the house by Li Jingqiong and boarded a carriage that had already been parked in front of the house.
After several hours of bumpy ride, Li Feng and Li Jingqiong came to their largest city - Nie Wangcheng.
In the city in front of Li Feng, the city wall was pitch black as ink. It stretched to the end of its vision, and there was no side at all. The wall was covered with colorful glazed tiles, which looked like a giant glass dragon entrenched on the top of the city.
When Li Feng approached, he found that there were also complex carvings on the dark city wall. Those carvings were all ferocious animals. Li Feng had never seen or even heard of these animals.
The black city wall alone is about ten meters high, and the entire huge city stretches to the horizon, and there is no end at all. That vast and ancient aura is shocking, giving people the feeling that it is like a wild giant beast.
Li Jingqiong took Li Feng and each of them paid a copper plate at the city gate and entered the city king.
Walking in this super city, I feel extremely gorgeous.
The surrounding buildings have different styles.
Many buildings are indeed beautiful.
"So beautiful!" Li Feng seemed very excited, his two black eyes kept scanning the street. Then, he saw the man selling candied haws next to the street, swallowed his saliva, and said to Li Jingqiong: "Grandpa, I want to eat that!"
Li Feng in his previous life was an orphan and had never eaten candied haws. Now that he has traveled through time, he wants to fulfill his wish in this life.
Li Jingqiong looked at the candied haws, then smiled and said, "Okay, grandpa will buy it for you later!"
Immediately, Li Jingqiong took Li Feng to a palace with red walls and green tiles. The palace was located among lush trees, which was extremely conspicuous. At the door of the palace, there were two rows of guards wearing armor standing there, with straight bodies and cold faces. Li Feng wanted to have such a beautiful set of armor for the first time, because he felt that if he had such an armor, the girls in the family would definitely admire him very much.
