Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 266 Confused, is this the world of Shrouding the Heavens?

Yuan Changqing has had his memories awakened for several months and has gradually adapted to life here. He has also started learning cooking skills from Yuan Dongfang. His daily work is routine, going to work and leaving get off work on time.

Moreover, there are many trivial matters in the courtyard, and the three stewards also play their role in mediating neighborhood disputes.

Recently, quite a few major incidents have occurred in the courtyard house.

First of all, Liu Guangqi from the backyard also got married. Everyone in the courtyard knew that the second uncle's favorite son was Liu Guangqi, his eldest son.

Moreover, Uncle Er was truly devoted to Liu Guangqi. Liu Guangqi was probably the only person in the family who could eat at the same table as Uncle Er; even Aunt Er couldn't.

As for the second brother, Liu Guangtian, and the third brother, Liu Guangfu, the second uncle didn't take them seriously at all. If things didn't go well for him, it was the two brothers who would suffer.

Therefore, almost every one or two days, the cries of Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, the two brothers, could be heard in the courtyard.

These two brothers are really tough. As a blacksmith, the second uncle is incredibly strong, and when he hits someone, he really uses his strength.

Furthermore, these two brothers only eat one meal a day, and they don't have the strength to resist or run away, so they can only endure it.

However, to be honest, it's quite a miracle that the two brothers weren't killed and are still alive and kicking despite the heavy blows from Uncle Er.

Back to Liu Guangqi, his second uncle really put a lot of effort into his wedding.

Keep in mind that this was during a three-year drought, a time of severe food and meat shortages. Uncle Er had emptied his savings to make Liu Guangqi's wedding as grand as possible.

At Liu Guangqi's wedding, the second uncle really stole the show, but his glory didn't last long before tragedy struck.

After getting married, Liu Guangqi secretly signed up to support the Third Front construction in the Northwest, and so he took his wife with him.

Liu Guangqi was always the person his second uncle chose to take care of him in his old age, which is why he often beat and kicked his second and third sons.

Now things have turned tragic. Liu Guangqi, the person originally intended to care for the elderly, has completely turned his back on them by choosing to live far away from the courtyard house, and there's no way to stop him.

Finally, Uncle and Auntie looked as if their spines had been removed, and they seemed to have aged considerably.

Finally, the people in the courtyard tried to persuade Uncle Er, Liu Guangtian, and Liu Guangfu, but Uncle Er said that he had never hit Liu Guangqi since they were young, which is why he turned out that way.

As a result, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu suffered even more, and their second uncle beat them even more severely.

Yuan Changqing was extremely impressed by his second uncle's thought process. He could only say that his second uncle's thought process was really too peculiar. Even at this point, he didn't know how to treat those two brothers better.

The final outcome was that when Uncle Er got old, none of his three sons cared for him and Aunt Er. Of course, that's another story.

Another thing is that Qin Huairu from the Jia family gave birth to another baby girl in the hospital. When Jia Zhangshi, the old shrew, found out, she went straight back to the courtyard house from the hospital and didn't care about Qin Huairu at all. In the end, it was Sha Zhu, the sycophant, who ran around and pulled Qin Huairu back to the courtyard house on a cart.

Moreover, even Qin Huairu's meal problem was solved by Sha Zhu, which just goes to show that there are quite a few eccentric characters in this courtyard.

Sha Zhu was thoroughly enjoying what he called helping Qin Huairu; it's safe to say he's going further and further down the path of being a sycophant.

This made onlookers like Yuan Changqing shake their heads repeatedly, and it wasn't like no one had ever called Sha Zhu a fool.

However, Sha Zhu immediately said that it was only right for neighbors to help each other and that one should be kind-hearted. From this, it can be seen that Sha Zhu has been fooled by the old man.

Sha Zhu, don't you even think about it? You're a single young man, helping a widow once or twice is one thing, but that really shows your kindness.

However, if you provide assistance for an extended period of time, in this era, others will see you as someone who is just being a burden and working like an ox.

With that, Sha Zhu still wants to marry a virgin? He shouldn't even think about it. Doesn't he know how much gossip and trouble there is around a widow's house?

Anyone with a sound mind can easily tell that someone like Sha Zhu is a fraud by simply asking around the neighborhood.

After Qin Huairu finished her postpartum confinement at home, she went to the steel rolling mill to take over Jia Dongxu's job. At first, she didn't think much of being a fitter, but gradually, Qin Huairu realized that she was not cut out to be a fitter at all.

So, with an old man taking care of her in the workshop and Sha Zhu looking after her in the canteen, Qin Huairu started to slack off. From then on, in order for her family to have enough to eat and eat well, Qin Huairu began to transform into a pure and innocent person.

Sha Zhu was the biggest blood cow, completely controlled by Qin Huairu, who helped raise the orphans and widows of the Jia family.

These are the two biggest scandals that have recently happened in the courtyard house.

...

In those days, owning a bicycle made you the coolest kid on the block. Riding a bicycle is like seeing a beautiful woman; you'd get 100% attention.

Although Yuan Changqing's family used to be both working, they could afford to buy a bicycle, but bicycle tickets were hard to come by.

Therefore, there are no bicycles in the family. In the courtyard, only Xu Damao and He Yushui have bicycles. As for the Third Uncle, he hasn't bought one yet.

Xu Damao got married, and Lou Xiao'e's family gave her a dowry. He Yushui's school was far away, so Sha Zhu bought her a second-hand bicycle to ride to school.

Yuan Changqing now wants to get a bicycle too. Although bicycle tickets are hard to come by, a living person can't be held back by needing to pee, right?

Therefore, Yuan Changqing set his sights on assembling bicycles. In addition, his mother, Jiang Fen, worked at a scrap metal recycling station, which made it convenient for Yuan Changqing.

So, on the weekend, Yuan Changqing went directly to the waste recycling station to find his mother, Jiang Fen.

Upon seeing Yuan Changqing, Jiang Fen asked, "Changqing, what brings you to my mother's? Did something happen at home?"

Yuan Changqing pulled Jiang Fen to a corner and said, "Mom, it's okay. I came here to see if your scrap recycling station has any scrapped bicycles to take in."

Jiang Fen asked疑惑地问道, "Changqing, what do you need that scrapped bicycle for?"

Yuan Changqing explained, "Mom, I just wanted to get a bicycle. After all, it's quite a distance from home to the steel mill, and it takes a lot of time to walk there to and from get off work every day."

"But bicycle tickets aren't so easy to get. I was thinking of seeing if there were any scrapped bicycles here. If there were, I planned to collect the parts and assemble a bicycle myself. That way, I wouldn't need a bicycle ticket!"

Jiang Fen then asked, "Can you assemble a bicycle?"

Yuan Changqing added, "I've been observing it at the repair shop for a while now, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

Jiang Fen nodded and said, "Alright, you decide for yourself. I'll take you to see if we can find any scrapped bicycles now."

Then, Yuan Changqing followed Jiang Fen to the place where the scrap was piled up.

Upon arriving at the location, Yuan Changqing saw that there were indeed quite a few things there: bottles and jars, old newspapers and books, chairs and benches with missing arms and legs, scrap metal, and so on.

Jiang Fen found an elderly man who guarded the scrap metal warehouse and asked, "Uncle Li, are you busy?"

This old man, Mr. Li, is currently sorting the recycled waste here so that it will be easier to stack.

Grandpa Li turned around and said, "Oh, it's Accountant Jiang. It's not payday yet. Is there something you need at the scrap yard?"

Jiang Fen nodded and introduced the two to each other.

"Changqing, this is Grandpa Li." Jiang Fen pulled Yuan Changqing to the front and introduced him, then added, "Grandpa Li, this is my son, Yuan Changqing. My son has something to discuss with you."

"Hello, Uncle Li!" Yuan Changqing greeted him politely.

Grandpa Li smiled and replied, "Hello, young man. What brings you here to this old man?"

Yuan Changqing then said, "Uncle Li, I've come to see if you have any scrapped bicycles here."

Grandpa Li then said, "Young man, you're looking for a scrapped bicycle? Are you trying to collect the parts and assemble it yourself?"

As they say, old people are wise and experienced. Despite his advanced age, Grandpa Li has quite a lot of knowledge.

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "Uncle Li, you're the wise one. I really am planning to collect the parts and assemble the bicycle myself."

"So, since my mom works here, I came over to see if there were any scrapped bicycles."

Grandpa Li nodded and said, "Since you mentioned Accountant Jiang's family members, you can go find them yourself. The ones we recycled before have already been dismantled into parts. Just pick out what you need, and we'll settle the bill together later."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Li," Yuan Changqing said.

Then he said to Jiang Fen, "Mom, you go back to work, I can do it myself."

Jiang Fen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back to work now."

Then, Yuan Changqing went into the warehouse to look for usable bicycle parts.

When Yuan Changqing arrived at the pile of scrap metal, he immediately saw several bicycle frames. Good heavens, they were either severely rusted or badly deformed.

In the end, Yuan Changqing only found a relatively intact frame that wasn't too badly rusted, and some usable parts.

As for the two wheels and the missing parts, we'll just have to buy new ones.

After Yuan Changqing took these parts out, he saw other things in the warehouse and had another idea.

Yuan Changqing knew that these things were worthless now, but things would be different in the future.

So they went to search among those discarded books and newspapers.

In particular, Yuan Changqing found several thread-bound books and casually flipped through them.

These thread-bound books include handwritten poems, Buddhist scriptures, Taoist classics, and books on feng shui.

However, when Yuan Changqing flipped through a book on home cultivation, the opening content completely baffled him.

The book begins with the words: "First Secret Realm: The Sea of ​​Bitterness Secret Realm."

Time is merciless, always leaving its mark on everything. Trees have annual rings, and so does the human body.

The Wheel of Life is located below it, corresponding to the dantian in the human body. Throughout a person's life, the Wheel of Life gradually dries up, with each year leaving a mark on it, much like the rings of a tree branch.

When a person reaches the end of their life, the wheel of life is etched with the marks of time, and that is the moment when the wheel of life completely collapses.

The sea of ​​suffering is an endless sea of ​​torment that obscures the wheel of life.

To transcend and preserve the wheel of life, remaining crystal clear and unblemished, with marks as fresh as ever, one must create within the sea of ​​suffering, nurture vibrant life within wounds, transform them into a spring of life, cultivate divine veins, and construct a heavenly bridge to reach the other shore, arriving at the end of the sea of ​​suffering and reaching the other shore.

The cultivator's flesh, organs, and bones will all undergo transformation, followed by a unique rebirth and continuous metamorphosis, completing nine transformations akin to breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

The Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm opens, the Sea of ​​Bitterness gushes forth the Spring of Life, a divine bridge is erected, leading to the other shore. Four minor realms, each step a new heaven.

After reading this passage, Yuan Changqing remained stunned for a long time.

"Could it be that this courtyard world is also the world of Shrouding the Heavens? That doesn't make sense," Yuan Changqing muttered to himself after regaining his senses.
