Chapter 4, Unexpected "Peeping"
The classical five-entry courtyard is exceptionally spacious, comprising the main house, wing rooms, and side rooms... In total, there are nearly one hundred rooms, with sizable side courtyards on both the east and west sides.
Seeing Bing'er with a proud expression of self-satisfaction, Han Feng couldn't help but feel amused while also secretly sighing
The content of dinner was quite simple, consisting of steamed buns, pickled vegetables, a few dishes of stir-fried vegetables, and several bowls of millet porridge
As for the eldest sister, Chu Hanxin, it is said that she did not come for dinner due to a "poor appetite"
Bang bang bang ... ... !
The Korean wind outside witnessed all of this, and the astonished expression on his face gradually turned serious, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter. Finally, unable to hold back, he was about to speak up to stop the other party's self-destructive behavior.
Not to mention when compared to wealthy families, even the households that are somewhat well-off have more lavish dinners than them, which shows just how dire the situation has become for the Han family's branch today
... ...
Suddenly, a loud shout erupted from the mouth of the young man
Moreover, those talented disciples have countless precious spiritual herbs to assist in their cultivation, as well as guidance from powerful family members. The young lady has nothing, yet she is able to be as strong as they are. Naturally, the young lady is the best!
Under the setting sun, on a vast expanse of grassland, there stood a wooden post, as thick as an adult's thigh, wrapped halfway with a hemp rope, its lower half embedded in the soil
At this moment, Han Feng could not help but think of that bronze night pot, which had brought him all the way to this world. Surely it was not just to make him a useless person that everyone despises
Han Fengxindao, it seems that I need to quickly figure out how to communicate with this bronze night pot
Upon hearing Han Feng's inquiry, Bing Er said with a look of admiration: "Of course, the young lady is a spiritual warrior, and a very powerful one at that"
Upon hearing Bing'er’s words, Han Feng could not help but smile wryly, as he had already anticipated this in his heart
In the room, the little girl provided Han Feng with a wealth of information and carefully applied the ointment for him, before leading him to the front hall for dinner.
The youth let out a roar, akin to a fierce tiger descending the mountain, and forcefully stepped forward with one foot, while the other foot powerfully pushed against the ground
The saying goes, "Even if one relies on others, one must possess solid skills." Not only does one have a notorious reputation, but there are also obstacles in that regard. What good intentions could the Zhou family have in accepting someone like this into their family
It turns out that this world is so wonderful, but unfortunately, I am inherently talentless and destined to have no connection with spiritual martial artists
Drink ... ... !
Among the younger generation of the entire Bailong County, only the daughter of Lord Qin and the top geniuses from several prominent families can be compared to him
Han Feng originally intended to casually relax and admire the flowers and plants in the courtyard, but he did not expect the courtyard to be so large. As he wandered through the corridors and alleys, he found himself somewhat disoriented.
It seems that the Zhou family is no longer an option; for now, we can only live in the Han family's branch. Out of concern for his personal safety, Han Feng nervously asked, "By the way, Bing'er, your family's eldest young lady should be a spiritual martial artist, right?"
Although the Han family's courtyard is dilapidated, its area is quite substantial, as the outskirts are not as valuable as the county town where every inch counts. This residence was once the stronghold of the Han family's main lineage before they became prosperous.
Um ... ... ?
Only three people were seated at the table: Han Feng, Bing Er, and an elderly man with graying hair, a hunched back, and a smile that revealed two missing front teeth, known as "Butler Zhang"
With a dull, heavy sound, the thick wooden post, as large as a thigh, shook violently, and with a "crack," it broke at the neck, causing the hemp rope binding it to snap simultaneously
At the very next moment
As the head of the family, Han Feng resides in the northern room directly facing the main entrance, while the side rooms on the east and west are occupied by Chu Hanxin and Han Lei respectively
In an instant, the young man's originally swift punches came to a halt, his left hand drawing a circle in front of him while his right hand, clenched into a fist, was concealed at his waist. Although the movements appeared slow, they seemed to contain a force that was both captivating and unsettling.
The muffled sounds became more intense, and the wooden stake began to tremble more violently. The young man seemed like a "machine" unaware of fatigue and pain, wildly swinging his fists until the surface of his knuckles was torn and bleeding, staining the wooden stake with patches of red, yet he still did not stop
With every punch, he exerted all his strength, striking the wooden post through the hemp rope, still producing a tremendous deep sound that caused the post to tremble slightly
This time you caused trouble at the lord's mansion, nearly getting beaten to death by the servants of the lord's mansion, and the Zhou family did not send anyone to rescue you; it was still the young lady herself who came to bring you back
Upon hearing the words "Zhou Family," Bing'er immediately pouted her lips, her face displaying dissatisfaction as she muttered, "The head of the family, the Zhou Family's invitation for you to marry into them is nothing but ill-intentioned, aiming to covet the rich iron ore vein of our branch.
And Han Feng has a younger brother, "Han Lei," who has not yet arrived. According to Bing'er, he is still in training
Perhaps this object possesses some "special abilities" that have yet to awaken, which not only can cause one to experience a surge of strength and become a genius in cultivation, but also restore one's former glory and reclaim one's masculine essence
In an instant, the youth's heels, ankles, calves, thighs... all the way to the waist and spine, tightened into a single line
Han Feng was momentarily taken aback, and could not help but turn around and take a few steps toward the courtyard gate, peering inside through the gap in the door.
The blood-stained right fist, concealed at the waist, gathered momentum and struck like a cannon shot, directly hitting the quivering wooden post at its vital point
Muffled sounds and a series of low, heavy breaths emanated from within the door
At first, the speed of the young man's punches was not particularly fast, and Han Feng was still able to see them clearly. However, as time went on, the young man's speed became increasingly rapid, swift as a phantom, delivering a continuous barrage of strikes against the wooden post
Finally, Han Feng recklessly traversed a long corridor, preparing to venture forward, but stopped in his tracks when passing by a slightly ajar courtyard door
At this moment, a young man with a bare upper body, a robust physique, and well-defined muscles is standing in front of the wooden post, swinging his fists and striking the post.
Regret Mountain Fist
However, when he thought of that thing, merely a "broken night pot," it was in stark contrast to the magnificent images of unparalleled divine swords, spiritual pearls, and precious jewels found in time-travel novels. Han Feng felt somewhat guilty.
Bang ... ... !
After a meal, Han Feng found the food bland and tasteless. He casually ate some dishes and then got up alone, not allowing Bing Er to follow him. He strolled alone in the Han family courtyard to relieve his boredom
