Chapter 11 Medicinal Bath
The yard to be built has been expanded several times. Fortunately, the slope of the hillside where their house is located is not steep, but the location is a bit remote, located on the edge of Yuanshan Village in the east direction. The nearest home is Yang Tiezhu's, and the Liang family is more than 600 to 700 meters away.
Liang Zifeng cleared a 4-meter-wide passage in the woods between the bamboo building and the old house. The road was not straight because Liang Zifeng deliberately avoided several hundreds-year-old trees. He cut down the other trees and made them into furniture.
Now the furniture in the bamboo house is basically complete, with benches and coffee tables in the living room, storage racks and bowl racks in the kitchen, wardrobes and bedside tables on the second floor, a rocking chair on the balcony, etc.
There are also several square tables in the yard placed under the big tree, and long chairs for enjoying the cool air. There is even a swing made for the little girl under the big tree, and the three little ones scramble to play on it every day.
By July, it had been more than two months since Liang Zifeng woke up. Although he had been busy all the time, his strength had not declined because of the busy schedule.
Now, if his mental power is extended to the limit, it can reach more than 70 meters, and the ultimate power of controlling objects is nearly 200 kilograms. He tried it himself one night and successfully lifted himself up with his mental power.
Liang Zifeng felt that using mental power to support himself was very unscientific. It was like pulling himself up to the sky by his own hair. It was completely unscientific.
In terms of internal martial arts, he has entered the next stage of training. Now, when he exerts a little force on his abdomen, his eight abdominal muscles can be clearly seen, and his strength is much greater than that of an adult.
What surprised him most was the practice of the breathing method. There was already a noticeable feeling of swelling in his lower dantian. He felt that the next step would be to guide it out and begin to open up the meridians.
It was the ninth day of the seventh month. Yesterday, the brothers and sisters went to the market again. Everything went smoothly without encountering any accidents like last time. The only difference was that the temperature outside the mountain was too high. He felt it was over 30 degrees. However, this time at the market, Liang Zifeng bought all the herbs he needed.
This time, people from their village went to the market in short sleeves, and received a lot of strange looks at people at the market.
In his previous life, he had tried every method to treat cancer, including medicinal baths. And not just one kind of medicinal bath, but several of them were for improving physical condition.
Although it is not very effective against cancer, it does have a certain suppressive effect. The key is that the physical strength is more than doubled. If it is a medicinal material from this world, the medicinal properties should be stronger.
Shortly after breakfast, a bathing tub was placed in the front yard of the bamboo building. Liang Zifeng and Lao San were busy pouring medicinal soup into it. It was the medicinal bath soup that had just been cooked, and even the herbs inside were poured in.
Since I am not familiar with the medicinal properties of herbs in this world, I let myself try the effects first before deciding on the amount of herbs to use for the medicinal bath for my younger brothers and sisters.
When the temperature of the medicinal soup in the bath tub reached over 60 degrees, Liang Zifeng took off all his clothes except for his boxer briefs, and then quickly stepped into the bath tub. Even though his skin was burned red, he did not cry out.
The younger brothers and sisters beside the bathtub were stunned, their eyes were wide open and their mouths were open.
"It's so hot~" After being shocked, the fourth brother stretched out a finger to test the water temperature and took it out immediately.
"Erguo, bring it over. It's almost cooked." The little girl looked at Liang Zifeng with concern and was about to cry.
"It's okay, don't worry. Second brother is practicing. Only by practicing can he become stronger and protect you."
Only Liang Zifeng's head was exposed, but at this moment, his face was flushed and sweat kept dripping from his chin.
Only the third brother didn't say anything. Although he also had a worried look on his face, there was a hint of fear in his eyes. He was older than the fourth brother and the youngest sister, and he thought of more things. He knew that after the second brother finished the medicinal bath, they would not be able to escape, and he felt scared when he thought of this.
After dinner, Liang Zifeng stopped the third brother who wanted to escape and asked him to prepare the medicinal bath with him.
"Why are you running? Others can't even think of it. Don't be ungrateful for what you have. If you don't want to get beaten, just be obedient."
Liang Zifeng was carrying the medicinal soup while teaching the third brother a lesson, while the fourth brother and the youngest sister were watching the fun with smiles on their faces. This made the third brother feel very resentful, but he felt relieved when he thought that he would be able to see their embarrassment tomorrow.
When the third brother was left with only his underwear, he was still lingering by the bathtub, occasionally reaching out to test the water temperature. In fact, the water temperature was only a little over 50 degrees, about 10 degrees lower than when Liang Zifeng took the medicinal bath.
Liang Zifeng, who couldn't bear to watch it any longer, grabbed the third brother and threw him into the bathtub, pressing him down.
"Ah~"
A shrill scream was heard, scaring the two little guys who were watching the fun. They looked at each other, as if they had thought of something, with expressions of fear on their faces.
The screams of the third brother attracted the villagers in the old house below. They ran over to check what happened. When they entered the front yard of the bamboo house, they found that the third brother of the Liang family seemed to be taking a bath.
However, everyone was a little confused about the smell of herbs in the yard, so they asked Liang Zifeng what happened.
Seeing that the villagers were attracted and thinking that this situation would continue for a while, Liang Zifeng explained the effect of the medicinal bath to the villagers, and the villagers' eyes lit up.
But when the villagers heard that the herbs for a medicinal bath cost twenty or thirty taels of silver, they shook their heads in disappointment. If it was effective in one time, some of them might grit their teeth and take a medicinal bath, but when they heard that it would take at least three times, they no longer had any ideas.
When the third brother came out of the bathtub, his whole body was red, like a boiled shrimp.
"Second brother, you are too cruel. I was almost scalded." The third brother said with a look of grievance.
"Who told you to dawdle? This stuff has to be hotter to be effective."
"Is that a little hot? If it's any hotter, I can even sprinkle some salt on myself." The third brother couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Hold on, soak in it three or four more times, and I'll teach you internal martial arts."
"Ah? You need to soak it three or four more times?"
This time, the third brother didn't care about the internal martial arts he had always longed for. Instead, he whined about having to take three or four medicinal baths.
Liang Zifeng completely ignored the third child's wailing. Instead, he thought the two little guys next to him were a little too quiet. He turned his head and immediately laughed. They must be scared.
The next day, when it was the fourth child's turn, the boy burst into tears and said he didn't want to take the medicinal bath at all. But Liang Zifeng and the third child didn't care whether he cried or not. They attacked him together, and screams were heard in the yard again.
