Chapter 22

The sun sets.

The lake surface sparkles in the evening.

Willows hang down the bank, the attic is reflected, the green leaves and red lotus roots, the lake view is beautiful.

After Luo Qingzhou finished practicing, he did not rest immediately.

Instead, he strolled with sweat all over his body and came to the lakeside of Yue Ye Ting Yu Yuan.

After intense exercise, it is not suitable to stop suddenly.

Otherwise, it will increase the burden on the heart.

Those who are too weak may even die.

So he decided to walk around.

The bark of the two big trees in the yard has cracked and become soft like cotton.

It is estimated that it will fall off completely in a while.

After all, it is a place to live, and it looks too conspicuous.

So he plans to find a secluded place with trees again, in preparation for more intense practice later.

The last time he came to Yue Ye Ting Yu Yuan, he found a bamboo forest in the northwest corner.

There are more than ten big trees in the bamboo forest.

He decided to take a look.

This place covers a large area.

In addition to the lake, there are flower beds, woods, bamboo forests, rockery, etc.

And it is very close to the small courtyard where he lives.

Generally, no one comes here.

I just heard that the second lady would occasionally bring friends to play.

However, at most, they would take a boat to the lake to pick some lotus flowers and lotus pods, or go to the attic in the center of the lake to play, and it is impossible to go to such a remote bamboo forest.

So it should be a good place for cultivation.

Luo Qingzhou walked forward along the lakeside.

Passing through a flower bed, he stepped onto a cobblestone path.

Then he entered the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest is large, deep and quiet.

The ground is covered with thick fallen leaves, and the snow has not completely melted.

A few birds jumped in the forest, but they did not make any calls. After seeing him, they did not seem to be afraid.

More than ten big trees are distributed among them, all of which are particularly strong.

One of the trunks can be hugged by three people, and the branches are still green, not afraid of wind and snow. I don’t know what kind of tree it is.

Luo Qingzhou walked around for a while and found that this was indeed a great place for cultivation.

It was hard to get sunlight here, and the air was full of the smell of rotting leaves.

The ground was not clean, and it was extremely remote, without any scenery.

Who would come here?

Moreover, this place was far away from the attic in the lake, and was covered by dense bamboo forests. Even if the second lady suddenly came to the attic to play, she would not be able to see him.

"Okay, I will practice here in the future!"

Luo Qingzhou came to the big tree and punched out suddenly, hitting the hard trunk with a "bang".

There was a pain on the back of his hand.

But the pain did not last long and quickly dissipated.

The force of this punch was much greater than his previous strength.

The continuous practice in the past few days not only made his skin membrane more tough and more resistant to blows, but also increased his strength a lot.

He was no longer the weak scholar who couldn't even lift a bucket of water or kill a chicken!

But he must not slack off.

We must keep working hard!

Look at the sky.

The sun has set and the night has quietly fallen.

He didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately left the bamboo forest and returned to the courtyard.

Xiaodie had already brought dinner and was waiting for him at the door.

Seeing him coming out of the garden, the little girl blinked her big eyes and asked, "Sir, why don't you stay in the house and study hard, but go to the lake again? Are you alone?"

Luo Qingzhou entered the courtyard and said, "Of course not alone."

Xiaodie immediately followed behind and asked curiously, "Who else? Sister Bailing, or..."

"Xiaotao and Qiu'er."

Luo Qingzhou sat down at the stone table and made up a story.

Xiaodie was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Master, you are lying. Sister Xiaotao and Sister Qiuer were with me in the afternoon. They hadn't left when I left."

Luo Qingzhou stopped teasing her and picked up the chopsticks and said: "What did they teach you today?

Xiaodie served him rice and said happily: "Sister Qiuer taught me to embroider peonies, and Sister Xiaotao taught me to play the flute."

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her little mouth and said: "How is learning going?"

Xiaodie was a little embarrassed: "I'm so stupid, I haven't learned it yet."

Luo Qingzhou smiled and said: "How can it be so fast. Take your time, nothing can be achieved overnight, you need to practice more."

"Well, Master, eat quickly, it's cold, and the food will get cold later."

Xiaodie didn't dare to speak anymore and helped him scoop a bowl of soup.

After eating.

Luo Qingzhou went to the kitchen and boiled a large pot of water.

While the water was boiling, he came out and moved the bathtub into the house.

Xiaodie was eating in the courtyard. When she saw him moving the big wooden barrel in the corner, she stood up and said, "Master, don't move. I'll help you. The barrel is so heavy. Be careful not to hit you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Qingzhou opened his arms, picked up the big wooden barrel, and walked into the house.

Xiaodie was stunned for a few seconds, and then hurriedly followed him in.

Luo Qingzhou held the big wooden barrel and placed it behind the screen in the room.

Xiaodie stood at the door, looked at him with wide eyes and said, "Master, you...how did you become so strong?"

Although there was no water in the bathtub, it was still very heavy.

It turned out that the master couldn't even carry a small bucket of water, so how could he carry the big wooden barrel into the house by himself?

Luo Qingzhou clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I have gained a lot of strength by eating meat recently."

Xiaodie looked at him dubiously: "But this slave has also been eating meat recently, and her strength is still so low, it hasn't increased at all."

Luo Qingzhou walked out of the room and said, "You are a girl, you can't compare with me."

Xiaodie looked at his still somewhat thin back, puzzled.

After the water was boiled, Luo Qingzhou went into the house to take a bath.

Xiaodie washed the dishes, went out and returned them to the kitchen, and then hurried back to help him give him a bath.

"Sir, there are a lot of dirty things on you..."

The steam was thick and hazy, and the little girl's cheeks were flushed red from the steam. She held a towel in her delicate little hands and rubbed his back.

Luo Qingzhou clearly felt that the little girl was rubbing out a lot of dirt on his back.

I sweated over and over again during practice today, and my clothes all over my body were soaked. Can they not be dirty?

Luo Qingzhou sat in the bathtub

When the water is almost cold, he finishes washing.

"Xiaodie, do you want to wash it?"

"No, the water is so dirty..."

"You actually dislike me?"

"Ugh...it's really dirty, there are a lot of black things...slave's body will get dirtier and dirtier the more you wash it..."

"..."

Luo Qingzhou stopped teasing her, got up, put on his clothes, and got into bed.

Xiaodie quickly went to get a basin, scooped out all the dirty water in the tub, and poured it outside.

After everything was cleaned up, she washed her face and feet, came to the door of the room and whispered: "Sir, I won't give you a warm quilt tonight."

Luo Qingzhou was sitting on the bed, reading by the oil lamp. Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "What's wrong?"

Xiaodie blinked her big eyes and whispered: "Didn't Sister Bailing say today that the young lady will come to sleep with the young master tonight? I don't dare to accompany the young master anymore."

Luo Qingzhou couldn't help laughing: "Do you believe it?"

Xiaodie thought for a moment and sighed softly.

Although Miss Qin is so beautiful, she looks so cold. She has never looked at the young master or spoken to him. How could she suddenly want to reward him with a roommate?

The previous bridal chamber was probably forced.

And they have already agreed to do it once a month.

"Sir, regardless of whether the lady will come tonight, I can't accompany you. After all, Sister Bai Ling has already said it, and I don't dare to break the rules."

After Xiaodie finished speaking, she closed the door for him and returned to her room.

Luo Qingzhou looked at the door, stunned for a while, and continued reading.

After it was quiet outside, he got out of bed and closed the window, then blew out the oil lamp, returned to the bed, sat cross-legged, and began to practice the inner strength and mental method.

Time passed quietly.

Soon, it was time.

He opened his eyes and felt warm and comfortable all over his body.

I have to get up early tomorrow to continue practicing, and I have to go to bed early tonight to recharge my batteries.

Not long after he lay down and closed his eyes, he suddenly felt something was wrong. When he opened his eyes, he suddenly saw a person standing next to the bed.

He was startled and sat up in horror. Just as he was about to shout a question, the figure suddenly threw himself into his arms and pushed him down on the bed again.

At the same time, a small mouth pressed on his lips...

He opened his eyes wide, smelled the familiar fragrance of a girl in his nose, and felt the familiar sweet fragrance of a girl in his mouth...

His bride is here...

But for some reason, he suddenly felt weak and unable to lift his strength.

At the same time, my head was a little dizzy, my eyes were a little blurry, and I couldn't see anything.

He was unable to resist and had no reason to resist. He soon sank into the ocean of happiness and could not extricate himself...

Outside the window, the moonlight was like water, and it was peaceful.
