Chapter 11: Treasure Porridge
Thousand Immortals Sect.
The entrance of the courtyard.
Ye Fei stood at the door like a piece of wood, shouting and yelling.
"Master, please, untie me, my legs are numb..."
"Master, if you unblock the acupuncture points, I will still help you guard the gate obediently. I won't run away..."
"Master? Master?"
"Wang Ergou, are you fucking deaf? If you have the guts, just kill me..."
"Er Gouzi, I'm gonna fuck your uncle and your ancestors..."
……
Ye Fei started to curse like crazy.
However, since Wang Ergou entered the house, he never came out again. No matter how Ye Fei scolded him, he didn't say a word.
In the following time, Ye Fei greeted Wang Ergou's ancestors one by one many times.
Even historical celebrities with the surname Wang, such as Wang Xizhi, Wang Anshi, and Wang Mang, were not spared.
Time passes slowly.
It was not easy to make it till midnight.
The mountain where the Qianxian Sect is located is very high. The temperature in the mountain drops sharply at night and it is freezing cold. Not only are Ye Fei's hands and feet numb, but he is also shivering from the cold and his teeth are chattering.
"Damn it, aren't acupuncture points in martial arts novels supposed to automatically release their energy after an hour or two? It should be midnight now, and seven or eight hours have passed. Why haven't my acupuncture points automatically released their energy yet..."
At this time, Ye Fei was extremely sleepy, cold and hungry, and his head was beginning to feel confused.
Before he knew it, he fell asleep...
The next morning, just after dawn, Wang Ergou came to the gate of the courtyard. He took a look at Ye Fei, who was curled up on the ground at the gate, his teeth chattering from the cold, and immediately exclaimed, "Kid, how did you get into this state?"
Ye Fei: “…”
He still has the nerve to ask me how I ended up like this?
Are you suffering from Alzheimer's disease?
Didn’t you leave me here to help you keep watch?
"Hey, I asked you to help me keep watch, but I didn't ask you to spend the night here!" Wang Ergou hurriedly helped Ye Fei up from the ground, with a sympathetic look on his face: "Don't you know how to open your own acupuncture points and go back to your room to sleep? You kid, how can you be so honest!"
Ye Fei: “…”
"Do I need you to tell me how to open the acupuncture points by myself?" Ye Fei's teeth were chattering due to the cold and he even stuttered when he spoke.
Damn it, if I could open the acupuncture points myself, I would have gone home by now. Would you still be able to see me?
"Ah?" Wang Ergou was stunned: "Did the Ye family teach you nothing? You don't even know the most basic thing like opening acupuncture points?"
"I, I want to learn skills in the Ye family. Can my father send me all the way to you?" Ye Fei said unhappily.
"Ah, poor child, yesterday's incident is my fault. It was my teacher's inconsideration. I thought you could open the acupuncture points by yourself, but I didn't expect that..." Wang Ergou shook his head: "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now! Hurry up, get up quickly, I've cooked porridge, come into the house and have a bowl of hot porridge to warm yourself up!"
After Wang Ergou finished speaking, he supported Ye Fei and walked into the house.
Damn, has this old guy finally found his conscience?
From yesterday till now, you finally said something sensible.
In fact, Ye Fei's acupoints had been automatically unsealed around three or four in the morning last night, but he was so frozen at that time that he was unable to move, and then he fainted.
Wang Ergou helped Ye Fei into the house and sat him next to the fire pit.
There were a few pieces of firewood burning in the fire pit, and the fire was very fierce. Ye Fei, whose teeth were chattering from the cold, sat down beside the fire pit and stretched out his hands to warm himself by the fire.
It was especially warm next to the fire pit. After being frozen all night, Ye Fei finally felt a little warmth from the human world.
Last night he thought he was dead and would definitely freeze to death.
But in the corner of the fire pit there was a casserole with half a pot of porridge boiling in it.
"Gurgle gurgle..." The porridge gurgled and rolled, giving off a pleasant grass aroma.
"Gurgle..." The porridge in the pot was growling, and Ye Fei's stomach was also growling.
"Haha, you must be hungry!" Wang Ergou laughed, turned around and picked up a broken bowl with several cracks on the rim from the ground next to the fire pit, filled it with hot porridge and handed it to Ye Fei: "Child, hurry up and drink a bowl of hot porridge to warm yourself up, then you won't be so cold."
Ye Fei took the porridge and took a look. It was millet porridge. Normally, millet porridge should be yellow, but this porridge was black. However, he smelled it and it was indeed very fragrant, with a faint smell of Chinese herbal medicine.
Very fragrant and smells great.
He just smelled it and felt refreshed.
In this kind of fantasy world, it makes sense to add some magical herbs when cooking porridge.
Ye Fei was almost going crazy with hunger. Looking at the porridge in the bowl, his mouth was watering.
He quickly held the bowl with both hands and blew a few times to make the porridge cool down a little, then immediately took a sip.
The taste is superb.
After taking a mouthful of the porridge, the porridge flowed down his throat. Ye Fei could clearly feel a warm current instantly entering his body, and he no longer felt cold.
Moreover, the porridge tastes particularly good, very silky, with a hint of sweetness, and is very delicious.
Ye Fei hurriedly drank the porridge in big gulps. In just a short while, he had finished the whole bowl of porridge.
"Is it delicious? Have another bowl?" Seeing that Ye Fei had finished drinking, Wang Ergou smiled kindly and took the bowl from Ye Fei's hand.
"Um, um, um..." Ye Fei nodded and politely handed the bowl to Wang Ergou with both hands.
At this time, his attitude towards Wang Ergou had changed a lot.
Although this old man is unreliable, owes a lot of debts, and obviously does not look like an expert, he seems to be a good person and not as bad as I thought last night.
"Haha, the porridge I cooked myself must be delicious. Master will give you another bowl." Wang Ergou went to serve Ye Fei porridge again.
Soon, Wang Ergou served the porridge to Ye Fei: "Come on, drink as much as you can. There's more in the pot. It'll keep you full."
"Thank you, Master!" Ye Fei thanked him politely: "Master, what kind of porridge is this? It's so delicious!"
"This is the Thousand Treasures Porridge created by my master. It is made from a thousand kinds of rare spiritual medicines. Drinking a bowl of it can increase your martial arts skills by ten years!" Wang Ergou said proudly.
"Ah? So cool!" Ye Fei was shocked.
Damn, drinking a bowl of porridge can increase your cultivation by ten years, this is good stuff.
It seems that this master has something.
Am I in the right place?
Ye Liting's father never lied to me!
"Of course!" Wang Ergou curled his lips and said, "Most people can't drink this in their lifetime!"
"Master, why don't you eat it yourself? You should eat it too!" Ye Fei said.
"I'm not in a hurry. I'll eat after you finish eating!" Wang Ergou said with a kind smile.
Ye Fei was deeply moved.
This old man is so kind.
He was afraid that there wasn't enough porridge, so he asked me to eat first before he did.
At this moment, Ye Fei couldn't help but think of his grandparents on Earth.
On Earth, he was raised by his grandparents since he was a child, and his parents worked in the south.
My parents didn't come back until I was in high school.
When he was a child, there was not enough food at home. Potatoes came out, so they were mixed into rice. Sweet potatoes came out, so they were added into rice. But his grandparents would give the white rice to him. They always ate the sweet potatoes and potatoes first. They would only get the remaining white rice after Ye Fei was full.
"Master, you should eat quickly too. You don't have to leave any for me!" Ye Fei pointed at the casserole: "After I finish this bowl, it will be enough."
"I'm not hungry. I'll eat after you finish eating." Wang Ergou said again.
Seeing that his advice would not heed, Ye Fei quickly finished the bowl of porridge in his hand, and then put the bowl down: "Master, I'm full, you eat quickly!"
In fact, the porridge cooked by Wang Ergou was really delicious. Ye Fei felt that the more he drank it, the more he wanted to drink it. Especially after drinking two bowls of porridge, Ye Fei felt refreshed. Not only did he not feel cold, but he also felt full of strength.
It's just that when he saw that Wang Ergou couldn't bear to eat it himself, he felt a little bit reluctant, mainly because he thought of his grandparents, so he resisted the urge to have another bowl.
"Are you really full?" Wang Ergou looked unconvinced: "How do you feel?"
"Hmm, hmm, I'm full!" Ye Fei nodded repeatedly: "It smells delicious!"
"Do you feel like something is missing?" Wang Ergou asked again.
"No, no!" Ye Fei shook his head: "If I have to say what's missing, it's that there's less salt, the taste is a little bland, ah..."
Before Ye Fei finished speaking, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his abdomen.
Once this pain is transmitted, it is immediately multiplied.
In just a moment, he fell to the ground, holding his stomach in pain, and then rolled on the ground.
At this moment, he felt as if thousands of poisonous snakes were biting his abdomen.
"Ah, ah..." Ye Fei screamed and rolled around on the floor in the room.
"Disciple, what's wrong with you?" Wang Ergou looked suspicious.
"It hurts, Master, my stomach hurts so much..." Ye Fei cried out in pain, covering his stomach.
"Yeah, it hurts!" Wang Ergou suddenly looked very satisfied: "I felt like I missed a medicine today, and it turned out to be true."
Ye Fei: “…”
Wang Ergou hurried to Ye Fei, grabbed Ye Fei's right wrist and took his pulse.
After a few seconds, he quickly let go of Ye Fei's hand: "Oh...it turns out that I forgot to put the Baixiancao!"
After saying that, he immediately turned and walked towards a cabinet next to him that was filled with bottles and jars. He picked up one of the small porcelain bottles, walked to the fire pit, uncorked the bottle, and poured some blue powder into the casserole.
He stirred the porridge in the casserole a few times with a spoon, scooped up some porridge, and took a sip: "Well, this time it tastes right!"
Ye Fei: “…”
What the hell...
Wang Ergou immediately looked at Ye Fei with a guilty look on his face: "Disciple, I forgot to tell you just now, although this Thousand Treasures Porridge is good, its biggest drawback is that if any of the herbs are missing, it will become extremely poisonous!
Hey, Master, I am old now, and my memory is not very good. I always put less medicine, I am sorry for putting you in trouble..."
Ye Fei: “…”
I……
"You old bastard, so you wanted me to taste the poison!" Ye Fei was so angry that he started cursing.
"Look at what you said..." Wang Ergou curled his lips and said, "Drinking a bowl of this Thousand Treasures Porridge can increase your strength by ten years, so you are not at a disadvantage! If I didn't think I missed a medicine today, I would not be willing to give it to you."
After Wang Ergou finished speaking, he picked up the bowl that Ye Fei had eaten from and filled another half bowl of porridge. Then he turned around and shouted to the back door: "Proof of the Tao!"
"Shh!"
A huge black dog half a man's height rushed in from the back door like lightning.
This dog's name is Zhengdao?
His name is Wang Ergou?
People name dogs, and dogs use people’s names?
What on earth is he thinking?
Wouldn't it be nice to use such a nice name yourself?
You have to call him Wang Ergou!
When I go out and someone asks me my master's name, I'm too embarrassed to tell them!
Wang Ergou put half a bowl of porridge on the ground and said, "Come on, Zhengdao, it's time for breakfast!"
Ye Fei: “…”
Damn, the bowl he just gave me was for attaining enlightenment?
Are you reluctant to give me the Qianbao Porridge?
Especially for dogs to eat?
What you mean is that I am not as good as this dog?
Ye Fei was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot.
However, what made him even more angry was yet to come.
At this moment, Wang Ergou touched the big black dog's head and glanced at Ye Fei: "Zheng Dao, he is here, and you don't have to help me taste the porridge first in the future!"
Ye Fei: “…”
"Oh, by the way, it just used your bowl, you don't mind, do you?"
When the big black dog heard it, he looked up at Ye Fei with a fierce look in his eyes: "Woof woof woof..."
Ye Fei: “…”
I don’t even feel disgusted with myself for using your bowl just now, so why the hell do you feel disgusted with me?
This was not the end. At this moment, Wang Ergou suddenly took out a small notebook from his arms, picked up a short brush, put some saliva on his mouth, and wrote down in the small notebook: "Two bowls of Qianbao porridge, twenty spirit stones per bowl, a total of forty!"
Damn it?
He charges me for drinking two bowls of poisonous porridge?
Isn't this a bit too much?
