Chapter 12, improving physical fitness
When Li Changsen came back, the Li family was quieter than usual.
No way, most members of the Li family are a little afraid of Li Changsen.
Compared to other families in the village, because the relatives returned home, they were happy and happy, asking about their health, busy taking out all the food that they were reluctant to eat on weekdays, the Li family was too ordinary.
For the evening meal that day, Mrs. Li just scooped up a spoonful of noodles and made a few more dry buns.
Li Changsen looked at the rough food, without any fluctuation on his face, picked up the dry bun and started eating.
Jin Yuee's expression was a bit resentful. The head of the family only came home once in a few months. It would be fine if there was nothing else in the house, but there were chickens at home, and the mother-in-law was reluctant to take out even an egg for the head of the house to nourish himself.
Until the end of dinner, Jin Yuee's face was still calm.
"Okay, don't be angry, I've seen it all these years."
Back in the room, Li Changsen smiled and comforted Jin Yuee.
Jin Yuee felt wronged for Li Changsen, and said with red eyes, "They are both mother's sons. Compared with the second and third brothers, mother doesn't care about you at all."
"It's okay to eat. You've been back for a long time, and she didn't ask you if you were doing well in the guard or if you were injured."
Li Changsen smiled indifferently: "I don't care about these anymore. Anyway, I know that it is enough for you and the child to think about me."
Hearing this, Jin Yue'e only felt sad, and mist suddenly filled her eyes.
Seeing this, Li Changsen quickly stretched out his hand to help his wife cry: "Why did you return the golden beans?"
Jin Yuee turned her head, and raised her hand to wipe her tears: "What are you doing, the children will come in later and see what it looks like."
Li Changsen laughed a little, and took his wife's hand: "I know you are wronged for me, don't do this in the future, if you really want to get angry, I will die of heartache."
Jin Yuee blushed when she heard this, and spat at Li Changsen: "I really say anything, and I'm not afraid that the children will hear it."
Li Changsen laughed twice, put his arms around his wife's shoulders and pulled him into his arms: "I heard it when I heard it, can they still laugh at me?"
Jin Yuee glanced at Li Changsen, but did not open her husband's arms.
Seeing that Jin Yue'e's mood had calmed down, Li Changsen said softly, "Parents, I don't have any expectations for a long time. With you and four children, I am content. Don't be sad anymore, maybe I am born with a poor relationship with my parents." .”
Jin Yue'e moved her lips, wanting to say something, but hesitated for a moment, then swallowed it back.
What can I say?
Both the head of the family and she have worked hard to get the approval and love of the in-laws, but unfortunately, both the head of the house and her failed.
Once this person's heart is deviated, all efforts will be in vain.
After the husband and wife hugged each other tenderly for a while, Jin Yuee showed Li Changsen the spoils Li Wuya and his sister got at the inn.
"The medicinal materials in this box can't be hidden. Everyone in the family knows that Mother wants to leave, but I said it's for you. Saburo used words to force Dad, and finally Dad stopped Mother."
Hearing this, Li Changsen smiled: "Sanlang is old enough to protect our family."
Jin Yue'e also had a smile on her face. She was also very satisfied with her eldest son: "You were injured before, but you were not fully healed several times. You must have left a lot of hidden wounds."
"A few years ago, because of some good medicines, my father and the pharmacy owner got closer. From the boss, I learned a prescription for bathing, which is said to strengthen the body. I will boil it for you tomorrow. Use a pot to take a bath."
Knowing that his wife was worried about his health, Li Changsen did not refuse, and said with a smile: "My life is really good, and now I will be supported by my children."
Jin Yue'e smiled: "Who says it's not." She said, with a smug look on her face, "Looking at the entire military village, which family's children can compare with ours."
Speaking of children, Li Changsen's eyes were full of smiles.
Jin Yuee took out three money bags, two sabers, blood ginseng, blood mushroom and a small handful of Chinese caterpillar fungus wrapped in cloth: "These are unknown at home."
This time, Li Changsen was a little surprised, especially after seeing the blood ginseng and blood mushroom.
Jin Yue'e: "I counted the money in the purse, and it's more than thirty taels." As she spoke, she sighed, "I've grown up so much, and I don't earn as much money as a few children."
Li Changsen was silent, he was the same.
Jin Yuee: "With this money, you don't need to bring back so much salary in the future. Anyway, we can't eat much, and most of it goes into other people's mouths."
"If the children are hungry, I will let them take the money to buy it at the post station. If you want to go to the battlefield, eat more, and you can't break your body."
"When you go back to the guardhouse this time, you are taking ten taels of silver with you for emergency, so as not to be like before, when you are injured and have no money to see a doctor, you can only bear it."
Li Changsen listened quietly to his wife's arrangements, and felt warm in his heart.
This is his family, who care about him and miss him. He no longer has to carry everything by himself like he did when he was young.
"By the way, can you see if these two sabers can be used?"
Li Changsen took the knife that Jin Yuee handed over: "This knife is much better than the one issued by Wei." As he spoke, he swiped a few beautiful knives, "Good knife!"
Jin Yue'e smiled and said: "It's good if you can use it. You take one with you when you leave, and leave the other for Sanlang. Sanlang has been practicing kung fu with you for two or three years. I think he has learned well, and he should be able to dance knives too." .”
"As for the blood ginseng and blood mushroom. These things are too precious, and I don't know how to use them, so I'll leave them alone."
Li Changsen said with a smile: "It's all up to you, our family has the final say."
Jin Yue'e cast a sideways glance at him reproachfully, smiled and said nothing.
At this time, the four brothers and sisters of Li Sanlang, who had been wandering around the village for a few times, came back.
After Li Wuya and Li Qilang entered the house, they took off their shoes and climbed onto the kang.
Li Qilang loves to play, and as soon as he gets on the kang, Li Changsen wants to take him to play.
Li Sanlang and Li Erya met, and they both got on the kang.
Soon, laughter and fights sounded in the room.
Jin Yuee smiled and looked at the husband and children who were playing together, put the silver and blood ginseng into the cabinet and locked them, and then went to the kitchen to boil water.
Seeing Jin Yue'e coming back with hot water, Li Sanlang and Li Erya took their younger siblings off the kang and returned to their own house with great insight.
Wait for Li Changsen to take a shower and change into clean clothes, Li Wuya ran out again and climbed onto the kang: "Father, I'll give you a massage."
Looking at his little daughter, Li Changsen was pleased with her filial piety, but he still said, "You only have a little strength, go back to sleep."
Li Wuya didn't do it, she stepped forward and told her father to lie down.
Li Changsen had no choice but to lie obediently on the kang, letting his little daughter massage him.
Psychic power can see through, Li Wuya first scanned Li Changsen's body with mental power, not only found many hidden diseases on Li Changsen's body, but also found some new injuries.
During the massage, I focused on taking care of these places with healing abilities.
Several blood ginseng and blood mushrooms don’t have many medicinal properties. In addition, they have been treated by Li Sanlang and Li Erya before. After a long massage, Li Wuya felt that his abilities were about to run out, so he had to stop.
"Father, mother, go to bed early."
Watching his daughter go back to the house, Li Changsen sat up and stretched his body: "Don't tell me, Wu Ya gave me a massage, and I really feel a lot lighter."
Jin Yue'e only thought that her husband was praising her daughter's filial piety, but she didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "No matter what your two daughters do, you think it's good."
Li Changsen laughed and didn't refute. He waited for his wife to get on the kang with piercing eyes.
The next morning, Jin Yuee woke up late, and when she woke up, Li Changsen had already taken Li Sanlang to fight in the yard, while Li Erya and Li Qilang were dragged away by Li Wuya.
"Sure enough, as soon as the elder brother came back, the elder sister-in-law became full of joy."
As soon as Jin Yuee entered the kitchen, she met Li Changlin's wife Xue Caihua.
Xue Shi and Li Changlin deserved to be a couple, they both talk badly and are very annoying.
Jin Yuee ignored her, walked past her, fetched water and went back to her room.
After Jin Yuee finished washing, Li Changsen and Li Sanlang also finished punching, and Li Wuya, Li Erya, and Li Qilang also ran back.
At this time, the children of the second and third bedrooms of the Li family woke up one after another.
Papa Li squatted at the door of the main room to wash his face. Seeing in the yard, the four children in the first room were thriving and motivated, while the children in the second and third rooms were lazy, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Dalang, Erlang, you're fine, and you can also follow Sanlang and learn some boxing skills from your uncle."
As the eldest grandson most valued by Li's father and Li's mother, Li Dalang hurriedly replied: "Master, I can't squat. Last time I paused with Saburo for a while, my legs hurt for several days."
Erlang also said that he is not suitable for martial arts.
Looking at the unprogressive eldest grandson and second grandson, Father Li sighed again in his heart, didn't say much, and turned back to the main room.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Mrs. Li looking at him displeased.
"Why do you let Dalang and Erlang practice martial arts? It is enough for our family to have the eldest and Sanlang practice. It is better for the family of the second and third sons to honestly plan their food from the ground."
Father Li glanced at Mrs. Li, moved his lips, and finally sighed, without saying anything.
After eating the court food, Li Changsen took Li Sanlang out, and went to sit with some good friends in the village to get in touch with each other.
He is often away from home, and he is very worried that his wife will not be able to handle things alone, and his parents and two younger brothers are unreliable. Now he is counting on these relatives and friends to help him.
Li Changsen is a man of friendship, and he is capable, so he is quite popular in the village.
"Mom, what are you going to do?"
In the East Wing, Li Wuya hurriedly asked when she saw Jin Yuee take out a lot of medicine from the box.
Jin Yue'e: "Mother wants to make a pot of medicinal soup for your father to take a bath in."
Li Wuya heard this, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
Really drowsy and hit the pillow!
When she was asking for medicine at the post station, she planned to make several pots of body quenching medicine to improve the physique of her family.
Before she could figure out what to do, her mother took the initiative to create opportunities for her.
Li Wuya followed behind Jin Yue'e, taking advantage of her inattention, and secretly changed some medicines.
In the previous life, body tempering could improve a person's physique in an all-round way and stimulate the potential of the body. After ordinary people have quenched their bodies many times, the chances of awakening abilities will increase greatly.
Even if there is no awakening ability, the body will be strengthened, whether it is strength, reaction speed, or five senses, it will be much stronger.
In this world, due to the lack of medicinal materials and insufficient medicinal properties, Li Wuya can only make a low-profile version of the body quenching medicinal bath, but this is enough.
"Mother, grandma and second uncle must be thinking about our family's medicine, why don't we boil a few more pots today, so that our whole family will be in a bubble?"
Jin Yue'e was a little hesitant. There are quite a lot of medicinal materials for making a pot of medicinal soup.
The box of medicine, she still wants to soak it for her husband a few more times.
But she is also aware of Mrs. Li's temperament, don't think it's gone now, but in the future, whenever the Li family has a headache, she will definitely ask for medicine again.
"Okay, anyway, this medicinal soup is for strengthening the body, all four of you brothers and sisters can make bubbles."
"Mom, you have to soak too, our whole family does it, and no one can be left behind."
Just as Jin Yuee was about to say that she didn't need to soak, Li Changlin's daughter-in-law Xue Caihua and Li Changmu's daughter-in-law Zhou Zhaodi entered the kitchen.
"Hey, sister-in-law, what are you boiling?" Xue Caihua opened the lid of the pot directly, and immediately saw a large pot of medicine boiled in the pot.
"Oh my god, sister-in-law, you're such a prodigal, even if you got a box of medicine, it's not as wasteful as you are."
A series of exaggerated screams directly attracted Mrs. Li.
Before Mrs. Li said anything, Jin Yuee said first: "This time the head of the family came back, and there are many new injuries on his body, mother, this medicine is boiled for the head of the bath."
Mrs. Li frowned: "Even so, this can't be such a waste of medicine."
"Grandma, is my father's life important, or a little medicinal material?" Li Wuya on the side said quietly, "Grandma, do you really want to see your eldest son die on the battlefield? You are my father's relative." Mother?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Li was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and she frowned directly: "You little girl, what are you talking about, I am not your father's mother, who is?"
Li Wuya looked puzzled: "Then why did you stop my mother from making medicine for my father? Which mother doesn't want her own son?"
Mrs. Li was a little stern: "Who stopped it, I just don't want you to see you wasting medicine, that's all, I'm just worrying about it, a box of medicine, I see how many times you can waste it."
After finishing speaking, he quickly left the kitchen.
Li Wuya squinted her eyes when she saw that Mrs. Li was running away in a hurry.
The last time she heard the third brother ask the master if his father was his son, her grandma calmed down, and it was the same this time.
Seeing her mother-in-law leave just like that, Xue Shi and Zhou Shi, who didn't benefit from it, could only leave with a bad face.
As soon as the two left, Li Wuya turned her head to look at Jin Yuee, and asked seriously: "Mother, is it true that my father is not the real son of Grandpa and Grandma?"
Jin Yuee put the lid on the pot and glared at her little daughter: "Don't talk nonsense, when your grandma was pregnant with your father, many people in the army knew about it."
Li Wuya stroked her chin: "However, my father looks so tall and mighty, but my grandfather, second uncle, and third uncle are all short winter melons, and my grandfather and grandmother are ordinary in appearance, but my father has sword eyebrows and star eyes. "
As he spoke, he touched his little face and said complacently, "Even our four brothers and sisters have inherited a good look, which directly compares to all the children in the village."
Looking at the stinky daughter, Jin Yuee was a little amused: "Your father is not the son of the Li family, whose son could it be? Well, don't talk about it."
Li Wuya shrugged and did not continue, but walked to the kitchen door and looked at the main room silently.
Her father's life experience may be really tricky!
After Li Changsen came back with Li Sanlang, the first pot of body quenching medicinal soup was ready.
"I heard that when you boiled the medicine, mother made trouble?"
Jin Yuee was looking for clothes for Li Changsen, and replied with a smile: "Yes, but your little daughter snatched it back after a few words."
Seeing Li Changsen frowned, Jin Yuee said again: "Don't worry, mother's temperament, not only me, but also the four children have figured it out, we can't suffer."
Li Changsen was silent for a while: "Didn't you say that this medicinal soup is for strengthening the body? You and the children should also hang out. These years, you have suffered with me, even the four children have suffered a lot."
"There are so many people in the Li family, but you and the four children are the weakest."
"It's a disaster to keep this box of medicine. While I'm at home these two days, I quickly used the medicine, so as not to be missed by them, and I don't know what else will happen."
Jin Yue'e was silent: "Okay, listen to you, originally I wanted the children to have fun."
In the medicinal bath for body quenching, a lot of medicinal materials are needed to boil one pot, and a box of medicine can only boil eight pots.
Li Changsen stayed at home for three days and had three soaks, while Jin Yuee and the four children each had one soak.
"When soaking in this medicinal bath, it stings a little, but after soaking, the whole body feels much lighter."
When he left, Li Changsen obviously felt that his formerly bulky body had become much lighter, and even some hidden injuries that were painful from time to time did not hurt anymore.
After returning to the guard, Li Changsen practiced as usual.
Half a month later, in a sparring match, Li Changsen only used three moves, and Li Changsen knocked down a small flag whose martial arts were comparable to his own.
Li Changsen was taken aback for a moment, and then his heart was filled with ecstasy.
In the past half month, he also vaguely felt that he seemed to have improved a lot, whether it was strength or reaction speed.
He thought it was an illusion before, but now, he knows that it is true, and his martial arts has improved again.
It seems that the medicinal bath of the lady really works!
Li Changsen's eyes sparkled brightly, and his martial arts were advanced, which meant that his chances of surviving on the battlefield were higher again.
