Chapter 64 [Lao Deng?]

Chapter 63 [Lao Deng?]

In the morning, after Chen Yan got up, washed up and went downstairs, he saw that Gu Xiaoniang had moved the chair to the yard again at some point.

The cold wind in the early morning made her face hurt, but she squinted her eyes and slumped in the chair with a look of enjoyment.

"Hmph, freeze to death, you violent girl!"

Unfilial thoughts arose in Chen Yan's mind.

Last night...the two of them had a little conflict.

The conflict arose when Chen Yan received a call from the shop that made custom wedding dresses.

The tailor we had arranged with us couldn't come due to some unexpected matter. If it's convenient for you, please send us your measurements...

Chen Yan didn't think much about it and asked Gu Xiaoniang directly.

As a result, the stepmother picked up a stick and chased her eldest son back and forth in the yard for twenty minutes.

"I'm still young! After all, I'm not a real LSP. No matter how rich my theoretical knowledge is, I'm still a pure, stupid, and untouched man.

If you are a real LSP, you won’t ask such a stupid question.”

Chen Yan glanced at his 21-year-old stepmother through the window, shook his head and walked out.

With the help of external plug-ins, the Qi Transporting Method has a seven or eight times training bonus.

However, the side effect is... Chen Yan's physical condition is a bit... too well-nourished because he is too nourished by vital energy every day.

When I wake up every day, I feel full of energy and have endless strength in my body.

The booklet said that in the process of cultivating vital energy, the body container may become overwhelmed. At this time, the practitioner needs to prepare some medicine to harmonize the body.

The booklet does not record the method of preparing decoctions, and Chen Yan is not an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner.

It was mentioned that one can do more physical training to strengthen the body and consume the excess energy and vitality.

When Chen Yan saw this paragraph in the booklet, one thought came to his mind:
Is the congestion mentioned in the booklet serious?

Fortunately, this villa area is built against the mountain.

At the back door of the community, there is a road that leads directly to the back mountain, and there is also a winding mountain road that leads all the way to the top of the mountain.

Chen Yan left the community, stretched his body, and then started running.

The one-way distance from the bottom of the mountain to the top is about ten kilometers. Adding the added effect of the uphill slope, it should be quite exhausting to walk ten kilometers.

Chen Yan ran for an hour in one breath, from the bottom of the mountain to the top, then down the mountain and up the mountain again.

After two rounds, I started to sweat a little.

His whole body was hot, but the excessive energy and blood made the feeling of bursting finally subside a lot.

After running, I returned to the villa area and strolled around.

There is a leisure area in the center of the villa area, where the property has set up some simple outdoor fitness equipment.

On weekdays, some elderly people from the villa area would stroll here.

There is no square dancing, but there are people walking their birds here (serious) or practicing swordplay (also serious).

This place has almost become a social gathering place for some retired elderly people in this community.

When Chen Yan walked over, it was actually past eight o'clock - at this time, the elderly people who usually gathered here had already dispersed.

At this time, Chen Yan came over. The central square was empty. He found a chair and sat down.

He picked up his phone, leaned back in his chair and started browsing.

He skillfully opened a certain audio app and switched to the trumpet.

As a man, when your blood is full, who the hell doesn't want to see some edge?
Is there something wrong?

As for why he didn’t go home in such a cold day, he wanted to sit in the community and watch.

Are you watching it in front of your mother?

·
With one swipe of the finger, hmm, this one is big. With another swipe, wow, this one is a waist-shaped one.

Another stroke, this one is bigger! But it looks like it’s padded…

Humph, the legs are too long...

As I was watching, suddenly an old voice came slowly from behind me.

"Row back, row back, go for the big one!"

·
Ok?
Chen Yan was suddenly startled and turned his head, only to see an old man behind him. He had white hair and his head was almost resting on his shoulder. His eyes were narrowed and he stared at the screen of his mobile phone.

Chen Yan was shocked!
He had already made considerable progress in his cultivation, and his hearing and eyesight were now sharp. He could sense when an ordinary person approached him from ten steps away.

This old man’s head is almost resting on my shoulder, but I don’t feel anything?

Subconsciously, I used the Qi-gazing technique to look...

At first glance, the old man's luck seems mediocre, and he even seems to have a bad love life?
There was no fluctuation of vital energy in his body.

Moreover, it seems that his fate is declining, which is consistent with the characteristics of old age and physical weakness.

He is an ordinary person.

Chen Yan calmed down and thought that he was too engrossed in watching the video.

"Old man, you scared me." Chen Yan looked at the white-haired old man with a smile.

The skin on his face was sagging, with more wrinkles, and his hair was gray.

But judging from his facial features, he must have looked good when he was young.

He was wearing a set of knock-off martial arts clothes that are common for the elderly to use for fitness, and there was even a jade pendant hanging around his neck. At first glance, it seemed to be of good quality, the best mutton-fat jade.

This is not surprising. After all, this is a villa area, and the people living here are either rich or noble. There are many wealthy people, so it is normal for them to wear valuable things.

The old man coughed and took two steps back a little embarrassedly.

Chen Yan only then saw that the other party was holding a birdcage in his hand, and there was a mynah bird standing in the cage.

The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Yan, but his expression could not be seen in his squinting eyes. He shook his head and said, "Young man, why are you making a fuss? I am an old man. What's there to be scared of?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Yan's phone: "What was that thing you were looking at just now?"

"Dance art!" Chen Yan answered confidently.

"Very good. I am also quite knowledgeable about dance art. How about we exchange ideas?"

"..." Chen Yan hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Where's your spouse?"

"No partner." The old man thought for a moment and added two words: "Single."

Well, the elderly version of non-marriage?
That's fine. I'm just afraid that if I show you this stuff too much, it might make your spouse unhappy, or too happy.

Chen Yan wasn't a stingy person, so he turned on his phone again. The old man simply hung the starling cage on the fitness equipment rack next to him and sat down next to Chen Yan.

After a moment, Chen Yan discovered that Lao Deng was not a good person!
You just want to look at it, and you even took out your phone and followed all the dozen or so IDs that were close to Chen Yan's. No, fellow follower, why don't you share too?

"There's no one following me. I just downloaded Tik Tok yesterday and haven't used it before." The old man obviously understood what Chen Yan meant, and took the initiative to open the follow-up list - as expected.

"Not many people use Tik Tok these days, huh, old man?"

"I just came back from abroad." The old man shook his head.

"There are also people who pick up and steal customers abroad." Chen Yan glanced at Lao Deng.

"I don't like looking at foreign girls."

It's just... quite traditional in this respect?
Chen Yan rolled his eyes.

The old man looked at Chen Yan and said with a smile: "Boy, it's not in vain that I look at you."

"Ok?"

"Your complexion is rosy, and your Qi and blood are vigorous—but too vigorous. It's rare to find a young person as healthy and full of Qi and blood as you.

As the saying goes, when the moon is full, it overflows, and when the water is full, it overflows. Your energy and blood may not be good for you in the long run.

Come back to me and I'll prescribe you a prescription. Take the medicine according to the instructions and drink it for a period of time. I guarantee that your yin and yang will blend and your qi and blood will be balanced."

Chen Yan was curious: "Old man, are you studying medicine?"

"I guess so. I haven't been a doctor for many years." Lao Deng waved his hand.

Chen Yan, however, became more thoughtful.

This old Deng...seems to have something.

He knew his condition best. Just as Lao Deng said, his body's qi and blood were too vigorous - a problem of over-nourishment of vital energy.

I don’t know how to mix medicine, so I can only use the most stupid method, which is to exercise to consume my energy.

The old man could see his problem at a glance... Maybe there really was something going on?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a voice coming from a distance.

"grandfather!"

Turning my head, I saw a girl running towards me from the distant intersection of the central square.

Chen Yan……!!!
Based on his own principles, he took a first look, and then a second look.

Then he broke his own principles without hesitation and took a third look!
Let me put it this way, if you see a girl running, duangduangduang - your principles will become flexible.

The girl's appearance is actually average, with only above-average facial features. She also seems to have a high nose bridge and sunken eye sockets, which makes her look a bit mixed-race, but not much. She is wearing tight fitness clothes, which makes her look rather fierce.

Chen Yan looked at Lao Deng… I’m determined to be friends with him regardless of age difference.

"Grandpa, I'm waiting for you to come back for breakfast, and you're running around again." The girl ran up to him, exhaled, and grabbed Lao Deng's arm. "The doctor said you can't delay taking your medicine. You have to take it after meals, so you have to eat on time."

"Tsk, those doctors know nothing. I can heal myself. I can still borrow another 500 years from heaven!"

“…” The girl glared at him.

No... Chen Yan was a little confused.

Didn’t you say you don’t have a partner and are single?
Where did this “grandfather” come from?
"Master, is this you?"

"My granddaughter, my real granddaughter." Lao Deng glared at Chen Yan.

"you are not……"

"Can't I have children without getting married?" Lao Deng said confidently.

Ok……

The girl gave Chen Yan a friendly but awkward smile, then urged Lao Deng to go back quickly.

Lao Deng stood up, and Chen Yan also stood up subconsciously - his happy companion had left, and there was no point in staying alone.

After walking a few dozen meters behind Lao Deng, Lao Deng turned around and looked at Chen Yan with a frown.

"Boy, why are you following me?"

Of course I'm going home—and didn't you just say you'd give me a prescription and let me come to you? You didn't even mention where you live, so it's just empty talk.
Chen Yan looked at Lao Deng calmly and said, "Is it possible that my home is also in this direction?"

"That makes sense." Lao Deng actually nodded seriously: "Go back to your home and don't follow me... Don't have any ideas about my granddaughter."

Well, he must have noticed the look he gave his granddaughter just now... Chen Yan sighed and pointed to the gate not far from the intersection: "This is my home."

The old man raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and left with his granddaughter - the girl was a nice person, and she turned around and smiled at Chen Yan with a bit of apology.

Chen Yan stood at the gate of the courtyard and did not go in immediately. Instead, he squinted his eyes and watched Lao Deng and his granddaughter walk into the gate of the next courtyard.

It turned out to be the neighbor who just moved in yesterday... Chen Yan nodded, turned and walked in.

·
After returning home, Chen Yan didn't say anything to Gu Qingyi.

Whether it's meeting an old man and sitting together for a long time watching the edge...

Or maybe Lao Deng has a granddaughter who runs like duangduangduang...

These two things don't seem to be suitable topics for discussion between the eldest son and his stepmother.

However, at noon, the girl next door actually came to my house.

The handwritten prescription he brought was actually written with a brush. The handwriting was neat and beautiful, and the strokes were quite good.

The girl stood at the gate and handed the prescription to Chen Yan. She said apologetically, "I won't go in and disturb you, Grandpa... well, my grandpa has a bit of an odd personality, please don't mind."

Chen Yan looked up and saw Lao Deng standing at the second-floor window of the villa next door in the distance, staring at this place.

"Okay, thank Old D...Master for me."

·
The old man stood at the window and watched his granddaughter walk back, then he breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.

But he narrowed his eyes again and looked at Chen Yan's yard.

"The Spirit Gathering Formation...is quite beautifully made. But the materials are a bit disgraceful.

The turtle I left behind in the back mountain has ended up at his house. It's a shame I let that old turtle go back then, because I had just finished cultivating my demon pill... Never mind, since it went to his house, it's his place.

The old man shook his head.

Returning to his study, the old man carefully closed the door.

There is a round jar in the study with some water in it. It was probably intended to grow a water lily or something, but now in winter, the water is clear and refreshing.

The old man sat in front of the desk. With a flick of his finger, a brush on the table flew up and fell into the water.

Then, a piece of white paper on the table slowly unfolded, and a brush emerged from the water tank, flew over, floated on the paper, and slowly wrote four words on the paper.

Originally, it was just water dipped in the jar, but when written on the paper, the words had a faint golden hue.

"The evil leader has awakened?"

The old man flicked his sleeves and said, "You keep trying to find trouble for me. Are you afraid that I'll just take the offering without doing any work?"
