Chapter 182
During this time, Liu Xiaolou practiced diligently, and Su Shisan would often come over to ask Liu Xiaolou for advice on his doubts. In terms of sword techniques, Liu Xiaolou couldn't teach him anything, but he could always talk about his experience in the world and his insights into life and death.
Su Shisan had grown up and practiced under the protection of the Su family and the Nanhai Sword Sect since he was a child, and had not been exposed to so many treacherous and dangerous storms, so he liked to listen to these stories of the world very much, and every time he was immersed in Liu Xiaolou's spitting and couldn't extricate himself.
When he came, he would also bring spirit wine, Osmanthus Fragrance, and drink with Liu Xiaolou, but he spoke very little, always saying, "Brother-in-law, please!"
Although there was only one sentence, Liu Xiaolou liked this "young man" who was only five years younger than himself very much, making him feel a bit of warmth in the cold Qingyu Fuyong Garden.
Of course, when Su Shisan came, he didn't just drink and listen to stories. Every few days, he would solemnly show his Tide-Watching Sword and bow to ask for advice, "Brother-in-law, please!"
But no matter how he thought about the way to break it, how he brewed killing moves, how he planned his first and second moves, in front of Liu Xiaolou, it was all useless. It was just a throw of the rope, and he was immediately captured.
Seeing him so serious and so deep in thought, Liu Xiaolou couldn't help but remind him, "Don't think about those moves and sword styles. They are just flashy things. Once your cultivation level goes up, it's better than anything."
Su Shisan said distressingly, "But my cultivation level is not weaker than yours, brother-in-law."
Liu Xiaolou shook his head, "As long as you are captured by me, it means your cultivation level is weaker than mine. This point is beyond doubt!"
Once, Su Shisan even used his sword as a knife and performed Su Wuniang's Hibiscus Flying Knife. The knife technique was quite fierce, and it did burn off Liu Xiaolou's eyebrows and beard, but he himself still couldn't escape the fate of being captured by the rope.
"Even Fifth Sister's unique skill doesn't work? Is it because I didn't master the beast-taming technique in the knife technique? But I learned sword techniques..." He was a bit desperate.
Liu Xiaolou said, "I told you, cultivation level is the foundation. If you don't believe me, go to the Danxia Cave Heaven and find your Fifth Sister. No matter how many moves you learn, it's the same."
Su Shisan said, "It's not possible anymore. Fifth Sister went to the Weiyu Cave Heaven to wait for the trial."
"Weiyu Cave Heaven? Trial of the void crack?"
"Right."
"Does the Su family have such a good relationship with the Weiyu Xianghe Sect?"
"I don't know about that."
This day, Su Shisan went to the kitchen to get wine and food as usual, filled a large food basket, and then walked to the Qingyu Fuyong Garden, but was intercepted by his own elder brother Su Fan halfway, "Shisan, I heard you run to the Fuyong Garden every day?"
Su Shisan nodded, "Yes."
Su Fan frowned, "Don't go there in the future."
Su Shisan was very surprised, "Why?"
Su Fan said, "That is a thief cultivator from Wulong Mountain. You are still young, don't be led astray by him."
Su Shisan said, "He is my brother-in-law."
Su Fan sneered, "He is not only a thief cultivator, but also a homosexual. If you stay with him for a long time, can you be good?"
Su Shisan said, "But he is my brother-in-law."
Su Fan explained, "I know you are close to Fifth Sister, but this is not a matter of loving the house and its crow. Why has your Fifth Sister never returned to the Qingyu Fuyong Garden? Think about it yourself."
Su Shisan said, "Fifth Sister went to cultivate."
Su Fan was about to lose his patience, "That's just one thing. There is a second thing, and that is that he, Liu Xiaolou, is not capable! He can't consummate the marriage with Fifth Sister, do you understand? In another two months, our Su family will divorce him. Soon he won't be your brother-in-law anymore!"
Su Shisan asked, "Is there any way?"
Su Fan scolded, "Nature, what way can there be? Perhaps only those evil ways have a way!"
After a moment of silence, Su Shisan asked, "Why did Third Brother tell me this?"
Su Fan hummed, "You always run to the kitchen, and it's spirit wine, spirit fish, spirit shrimp. It's fine if you eat it yourself, but sending it to Liu Xiaolou, isn't this a waste? Return the things!"
Su Shisan turned around silently, returned to the kitchen, saw Cook Wang, put down the food basket, and asked, "Cook Wang, did you tell Third Brother?"
Cook Wang squeezed out a smile, "So much food, they are all rare good things, so I have to say something. If these things were eaten by Shisanlang, there would be no problem, but sending them to the Qingyu Fuyong Garden is a pity..."
Su Shisan was expressionless, looked at Cook Wang for a long time, suddenly slapped her, slapped Cook Wang flying a foot away, hit the wall, and bled on the spot.
Su Shisan said to her, "I won't eat these things in the future either."
Arriving at the Qingyu Fuyong Garden, Su Shisan went straight to the point, "Brother-in-law, have you and my sister consummated the marriage?"
Liu Xiaolou was stunned and nodded, "Yes."
Su Shisan asked, "Why?"
Liu Xiaolou said, "Some things are hard to say. If you have a chance, you can ask your Fifth Sister."
Su Shisan nodded, "I know. Brother-in-law, there is no fish or shrimp today..."
Liu Xiaolou smiled, "It's okay, I have it here! Dabai..."
After eating and drinking, Liu Xiaolou asked with a smile, "Shisan is restless today. Who bullied you? Tell me, brother-in-law will vent your anger for you!"
Su Shisan shook his head, stood up as usual and drew his sword, "Brother-in-law, please!"
Liu Xiaolou said, "I won't use the Mystical Truth Rope today. I'll use the Three Mystical Sword. My sword technique is not refined, but I have to ask you for advice. Today, you are brother-in-law's teacher."
Su Shisan nodded, "Good."
Su Shisan practiced very diligently, a bit like Su Wuniang. With this brother-in-law chasing behind him, Liu Xiaolou became even more diligent. After more than ten days, he actually opened up the tenth acupoint of the Foot Jueyin Meridian—Foot Wuli.
Heaven guarantees that he really didn't practice through dual cultivation during these days, so the urging of external forces can actually improve cultivation progress.
Foot Wuli regulates abdominal distension and difficult urination. After opening it, not only did his eyesight increase a little, but even the minor problem of incomplete urination was eliminated. In the past, after finishing, his butt had to shake three times, but now he finishes directly, without any extra movements, truly clean and neat!
In this way, the benefits are also obvious. If he encounters an enemy when he is convenient, the speed of drawing the sword will be faster by "three shakes"!
A heavy snow announced the arrival of the third winter since Liu Xiaolou married into the Su family. Since last month, Su Shisan suddenly stopped coming to the Qingyu Fuyong Garden. Liu Xiaolou asked several people he could talk to, but didn't get any news about him, and couldn't help but feel lost.
He guessed in his heart, maybe Su Shisan went back to the Nanhai Sword Sect? For this brother-in-law, he truly felt he was good. After all, there were very few people in the Su family who were good to him.
Coming out of the Qingyu Fuyong Garden, the fallen leaves were all over the ground, but when stepped on, they no longer made a crunching sound, but a creaking sound, and the sound was very small.
This was not intentional, and the true essence was not running. He was walking normally, indicating that the lightness and agility of his body had reached a new level.
On the way down the mountain, he saw several stewards of the Su family. When they saw him, they avoided him from afar, as if they had seen a plague god. On the way, he even saw Cook Wang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. The old woman's face changed, and she suddenly hid behind the wall. She was truly as agile as a rabbit. Liu Xiaolou always felt that after being beaten by him, her cultivation seemed to have improved, especially in terms of body technique, which was much more agile and sensitive.
However, Liu Xiaolou didn't want to find trouble with her. The old witch didn't dare to cause trouble again, supplying meals on time and in quantity every day, and she didn't deduct the Dragon-Bearded Koi and abalone shrimp he ate every ten days.
Liu Xiaolou also specifically investigated secretly several times and didn't find her spitting or sprinkling nasal mucus in the food, so he didn't find trouble with her.
In the General Temple, smoke was curling up, and it was dinner time. Li Shen was cooking in front of the stove, with a round belly, and the spoon in her right hand was still dipping in the soup to taste it.
Liu Xiaolou walked over in two steps and helped her down forcibly, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? It's almost eight months, and you're still doing housework? Where is Aunt Lu? Two taels of silver a month, is this how she earns money?"
Li Shen sat on the woodpile with her hands on her hips, wiped her sweat and said, "Uncle is here. It has nothing to do with Aunt Lu. She went to fetch water. It's just that I'm bored and can't stand it..."
Liu Xiaolou called again, "Busan! Busan..."
Li Busan hurried over from behind, "Uncle?"
Liu Xiaolou scolded him, then threw the Golden-Bearded Dragon Carp in his hand over, "Boil soup!"
Li Busan stuck out his tongue, took the carp, and rushed into the kitchen to make food.
Li Shen defended him, "Cultivation is the first urgent task. It was me who didn't let him come out. Uncle, don't blame him."
Liu Xiaolou helped her back into the room and hummed, "I'm the bad guy, they are all good people! Alright, don't do any work before the child is born. Go and hire another helper to serve you later."
Li Shen said, "Where is there such pampering? Sister Lu's help is enough. She is a good person and diligent..."
The old woman in the inner room put down the needlework in her hand and came out with a letter, "Zuo Lang's letter, Xiaolou, this one is for you."
