Chapter 23 Heavy Snow and the Best Furnace
In addition to cumin, there are also soybeans, chili peppers, peppercorns, aniseed, etc., and also sugarcane. It is said that it was shipped from the south by the Chamber of Commerce of Majiazhuang. Liang Zifeng bought two bundles.
When Liang Zifeng was still choosing cloth, the third, fourth and Leng Yuzhao came over. Before noon, the three of them had sold out all the fur clothes. The fur clothes made by Liang Zifeng were very popular.
"Second brother, I heard that someone is dispensing holy water over there. Do you want to go and take a look?" The third brother came up to Liang Zifeng and pointed at the crowd gathered not far away.
Liang Zifeng actually knew about the situation there a long time ago. This kind of thing is standard in troubled times. I don't know which force dared to operate in Majiaji.
"What are you looking at? They are all lies. Someone will come to clean up the mess soon."
Liang Zifeng had discovered through his mental power that the market patrol was already heading this way. He could imagine what would happen there in a while, so he put away the purchased cloth and led everyone away to purchase other things.
Sure enough, not long after Liang Zifeng and the others walked away, they heard quarrels and screams, followed by chaotic shouting. Turning around, they saw that the situation in front of the cloth shop had also become very chaotic.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Liang Zifeng had finished shopping. He didn't want to wait until three or four o'clock, so he said goodbye to the villagers and left early with his younger brothers and sisters and Leng Yuzhao. No one dared to object to the Liang brothers and sisters leaving early.
The reason why Liang Zifeng was so anxious to go back was related to those people who had given holy water before. He didn't expect that the scale of this force was so large.
He used his mental power to track a leader who seemed to have some status, and then discovered a stronghold of this force, and also found many martial arts secrets inside.
So he used his mental power to empty out all the secret books inside. As for the people in the stronghold, of course they were all knocked unconscious, so they had to stay away from this place of trouble.
After returning home, a room was arranged for Leng Yuzhao on the second floor, where she was allowed to wash herself and change into new clothes. When Leng Yuzhao reappeared in front of the Liang family members, no one dared to recognize her.
"Sister, you are so beautiful." The little girl ran over with joy, holding Leng Yuzhao's hand and praising her.
Leng Yuzhao felt a little shy when being stared at by everyone, but when the little girl praised her, her face immediately turned red. Liang Zifeng couldn't help but smile when he saw it.
Perhaps to protect herself, Leng Yuzhao made herself very dirty when she was in Liujia Village, and her face was never clean. It was not known whether her parents deliberately asked her to do this or she thought of it herself.
In fact, in the eyes of Liang Zifeng, who is bombarded with beauties on the Internet, Leng Yuzhao is only 13 years old. Maybe because of malnutrition, she looks just over 11 years old. She has no figure and only has outstanding looks.
However, compared with the looks of those modern Internet beauties, Leng Yuzhao's appearance is also top-notch, especially she has the kind of classical ladylike temperament that modern women do not have, which really makes people amazed when they see her.
"You really have a good look. Your family must have been prominent, right? Why did you end up running to Liujia Village?" Liang Zifeng asked curiously.
Leng Yu's eyes were very clear when he summoned the Liang brothers, and at most there was a hint of appreciation in them. However, there was no change in Liang Zifeng's eyes from beginning to end, which made her feel relieved, but also a little disappointed.
Liang Zifeng didn't expect the other party to answer. He already knew that this girl was a taciturn person, but her eyes were very smart and he could usually see what the other party wanted to express from her eyes.
"Wear a veil when you are outside in the future, otherwise you may cause unnecessary trouble."
Liang Zifeng thought about it and found that Leng Yuzhao's appearance was indeed outstanding in the area around Majiaji. If he didn't hide it, it might cause trouble in the future. He couldn't just chase her away just because she was good-looking. Besides, it was pleasing to the eyes to have a beautiful woman to look at.
"..." Leng Yuzhao blinked in confusion, and finally nodded in agreement.
Leng Yuzhao cooked dinner. After everyone had eaten, they were all impressed again. Liang Zifeng did not expect that his cooking skills were so good. He thought it was just like the cooking of an ordinary woman. This made Liang Zifeng very happy. He and his brothers and sisters would have a great meal in the future.
……
It is worth mentioning that there was a heavy snowfall before the New Year, which started on the night of the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month. The temperature dropped to more than ten degrees below zero. It is said that people froze to death in Liujia Village and several surrounding villages, but most of the villagers in Yuanshan Village had kangs, so no one froze to death.
Standing in the yard, looking at his younger brothers and sisters who were running around excitedly in the heavy snow even though their faces were red from the cold, Liang Zifeng's heart seemed to become much calmer.
What made him feel a little strange was that in his brain, he didn't seem to have many memories of winter, only some very vague memories.
Coming back to his senses, he looked at the still falling snow. It was hard to imagine how they had survived the previous winters. Could they really survive relying solely on the warmth from the fire pit?
Liang Zifeng went to the cowshed again to check. Fortunately, both Dahei and his daughter were fine and not frozen. Both cows were lying on a thick pile of thatch, ruminating comfortably, with white mist constantly coming out of their noses.
When Liang Zifeng returned to the yard and saw Leng Yuzhao sweeping the yard, he shook his head and said to Qi, "Xiaozhao, stop sweeping. Wait until the snow stops."
"..." Leng Yuzhao stopped sweeping the snow, looked at Liang Zifeng with some embarrassment, and remained silent as usual.
"Go back to your room and practice standing still. Improve your strength as soon as possible. You will have a lot of trouble in the future. If you don't have strength, do you want us to protect you for the rest of your life?"
Liang Zifeng thought about it and decided to speak out what was in his mind. In the notes of "Yin Yang Heart Refining Method", he saw some classification descriptions of furnaces and tripods by Quan Guanqing, but he didn't know where he got them from.
What worries Liang Zifeng is that Leng Yuzhao's physique and the structure of a certain part of her body just fit the description of one of the top-level furnaces. Now the girl is still young, and some characteristics are not revealed in her appearance, but people always grow up, and even with a veil, she cannot hide it from some experienced veterans.
In fact, Liang Zifeng himself was quite speechless. Just an accidental outburst of kindness had landed him in big trouble.
However, when he thought of his sister's situation, he didn't care anymore. As the saying goes, the more lice you have, the less itchy you are. He had two furnaces that were regarded as top-grade by the evil ways around him. What else could he do? He could only try his best to improve his own strength, even if he had to turn into a demon.
