Chapter 20 Yijin
The sun sets in the west, and the clouds in the sky turn red like fire.
A cool breeze gradually rose in the yard.
Chen Mu sat at the square table in the room. He opened the door, looked at the sky gradually darkening in the distance, and put a piece of crispy pork belly into his mouth.
The crispy outside and tender inside texture, and the balanced spicy and salty taste made Chen Mu nod his head involuntarily.
This is just first-level cooking skills.
In the past, people always said that delicious food should not be missed, but most people eat just to fill their stomachs.
Busy work takes up too much energy. Fast-paced life leaves people no time to think about other things.
"I have to brush up my cooking skills in the future."
Now that you've traveled through time, what's wrong with spending some time thinking about food?
With Miao Huafang's help in arranging portrait business, you don't have to worry about income.
Later I'll ask Silver Boots to run errands and help buy some medicinal herbs, so there will be no obstacles to my martial arts practice.
Think about the hard times your previous life went through, and then think about now.
Chen Mu comfortably picked up a piece of cold green leafy vegetable and chewed it leisurely.
When I looked up, I saw a black shadow silently falling down from the wall.
Silver boots?
You said you didn't want others to know, but the other party sneaked in over the wall?
Professional enough!
Chen Mu was just about to stand up to greet him when he looked up and made eye contact with the other person.
Silver-white hair, narrowed eyes, expressionless face...
Isn't this the killer from Chenjia Village? !
Chen Mu seemed to have been paused. He had just stood up halfway when his whole body froze and he stood there in a daze.
Jie Jia: “…”
it's fate!
"Hehe, how about we deal with it together?" Chen Mu sat down slowly and said in a relaxed manner.
"I'm afraid of being poisoned to death." Jie Jia said calmly without even raising his eyelids.
"Uncle, it seems that your misunderstanding of me is extremely deep." Chen Mu shook his head helplessly.
Jie Jia's eyes moved slowly and stared at Chen Mu's sleeves.
Misunderstanding? How thick must your skin be to allow you to spread poison and say it's a misunderstanding at the same time?
"What are you looking for the silver boots for?" Jie Jia asked expressionlessly.
Silver boots?
Is this old killer the Silver Boots from Xue’s warehouse?
A killer doing errands?
Chen Mu's eyes looked strange.
Is it so difficult to be a killer?
"I want to buy some medicinal herbs." I hope they're not here to kill me.
"List." Jie Jia said concisely.
"Here." Chen Mu quickly took out the list of medicinal materials that he had prepared long ago.
In addition to the essential medicinal materials for Red Falcon's body-shaping technique, he also added a lot of other things, mainly to confuse people.
"How much is the commission?" Chen Mu asked.
"Ten...twenty taels." Jie Jia said calmly with no expression on his face.
Chen Mu: “…”
Did you mean to say ten taels? !
This is clearly blackmail! This is too much!
Chen Mu was filled with indignation: "Okay. This is the commission, and this is half of the payment, please keep it."
"Heh..." Jie Jia rolled his eyes, glanced at Chen Mu, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, picked up the silver on the table, and disappeared in a flash.
Chen Mu stared at the other person's disappearing figure for a long time before he came back to his senses.
Shit! I just wanted to find an errand boy, why did he find a killer?!
But this person didn't seem to have the intention of killing me.
He appeared in front of me, not as a killer, but as the Silver Boots of Xue's Warehouse.
Chen Mu felt slightly relieved.
Moreover, the opponent is a killer. Judging from his ghostly speed just now, he must be very skilled.
If you ask someone to buy medicine for you yourself, wouldn't you be afraid of people snooping around?
Now that we have this killer who can buy silver boots for us, who dares to inquire about him?
So, this was a surprise?
“It’s just a little expensive!”
Twenty taels of silver, and this old man dares to ask for it!
Chen Mu's heart ached.
"Forget it, just consider it as spending money to buy peace." Chen Mu shook his head helplessly, picked up the food sprinkled with snake venom, dug a hole and buried it in the corner of the wall.
"I was impulsive and wasted a table of good food."
……
On December 638, 12 of Daliang, the weather turned cooler.
Chen Mu got up in the dim morning light as usual.
Putting on a thick coat, Chen Mu opened the door and a gust of cold air hit him. The temperature felt like the late autumn in the north of his previous life.
He has been in this world for more than seven months. He doesn't have a mobile phone or computer, so going to bed early and getting up early has become natural for him.
Jumping from the westernmost house to the easternmost house, Chen Mu washed up and cooked.
Making fire, boiling water, washing wheat, picking and washing vegetables, all in an orderly manner.
The bonus of cooking skills makes cooking easy.
I also chopped up some vegetable leaves and added some grass seeds I had purchased, and poured them into the chicken coop under the west wall.
Five hens were clucking and scrambling for food, and Chen Mu couldn't help but smile with relief.
He has been raising chickens for over a month, which provide him with a good supply of eggs.
……
Returning to the stove to add more firewood, Chen Mu estimated that the wheat would take a while to cook, so he took off his slightly bulky coat and said, "It's just time to move around."
Spend a few minutes stretching your joints, then begin by doing small jumps and runs around the yard.
The movements started slowly, then got faster and faster, and soon reached the speed of a 100-meter race.
Every time his toes touched the ground, he had a feeling that his body was about to fly out of control. This was the powerful inertia brought by the extreme speed.
But at the moment the toes touch the ground, the muscles of the whole body suddenly move rhythmically and powerful force bursts out from the toes.
Whether going forward or backward, a body that is about to lose control can always accelerate, stop, or even suddenly turn and reverse according to one's will.
This is the Red Falcon's form training technique, a form training technique that is good at moving and running.
A quarter of an hour later, the series of figures in the yard suddenly stopped.
Chen Mu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, completing a cycle of the Xingshu breathing method.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and a feeling of pleasure and comfort spread through his limbs.
Exercise prompts the brain to produce endorphins, which make people feel happy.
He had always heard about this in his previous life, but as a fat otaku, he had never experienced it.
Now he has experienced it and enjoys it.
As I was slowly stretching, a sense of enlightenment suddenly came to my mind.
Immediately afterwards, a surge of heat gushed out from all parts of the body.
The muscles all over the body began to wriggle involuntarily, as if there were little mice crawling and moving under the skin.
A slight tingling sensation spread throughout the body, and a special tissue formed under the skin.
It took Chen Mu a long time to come back to his senses.
Feeling the aftertaste in his mind, Chen Mu couldn't help but grin: "Breakthrough?!"
Writing: 1445/10000/Level ;
Picture: 1353/10000/Second Order;
Throw: 3316/10000/second level;
Red Falcon Shape Training: 8/10000/Level ;
Cooking skills: 2642/10000/level ;
He rolled up his left sleeve and pinched his skin.
A feeling of the soft and supple texture of leather is felt.
“It’s like wearing a thin layer of leather armor.”
He waved his fist in the air, making a whistling sound as the wind broke.
