Chapter 47 Shen Yueru

In the evening, Hua Kai synthesized all the purchased medicinal materials into pills. Only two [Blood Dragon Pills] were refined, which made Hua Kai a little difficult to accept. Three furnaces of [Peeling Yuan Pills] produced a total of 17 pills.

After thinking about the distribution of the pills, Hua Kai pondered again.

This [Dragon Blood Pill] is worth thousands of gold. Grandpa's strength is almost at the limit of his qualifications. It is indeed a waste to use it. Yu Jun can only be regarded as a "guest" of the Hua family now. Although his loyalty is already 98 points, his realm is already the strongest in Huajiabao. Now is not the time for him to take [Dragon Blood Pill].

After thinking about it, only the fifth uncle is the most suitable to take [Blood Dragon Pill]. Hua Kai finally decided to take it himself.

Early the next morning, the Han family came to find the Hua family caravan. Yesterday, many caravans had rested in the Aohan tribe and started to set off in the direction of the Xiongnu Kingdom, and the Guangxian caravan would also start to travel today.

The Hua family members had a delicious breakfast in the market. After today, they will have to sleep in the open again.

The 16 newly bought slaves have put on clean clothes today, and Hua Kai did not forget to buy breakfast for the slaves. From today on, these slaves are members of the Hua family.

Hua Kai finally had some light in his eyes when he looked at these slaves, but it would take at least two years for these people who had been slaves for several years to return to normal.

The Hua family caravan was already dismantling the outer tent, and Wei Baotou had gone to the market to buy the fine feed needed for the horses in the future. The horses could not just eat grass if they were to go to the Xiongnu Kingdom.

"This pill is called [Pei Yuan Pill]. After taking it, it can nourish the body and strengthen the foundation, improve physical fitness and strength. Let's share one pill for everyone!" Hua Kai looked at all the backbones of the Hua family in front of him in the main account. They included Grandpa Hua Xing, Butler Hua Fu, Er Zhuang, Wei Baotou, Yu Jun, Wu Shu and other 4 Hua family heads, a total of 10 people. Hua Kai gave 9 pills.

"Master, the pill that this old slave took is not stable yet, so this pill is not needed!" Butler Hua Fu saw Hua Kai distributing pills to everyone, and he spoke.

"I didn't think it through. Grandpa Fu is different from ordinary people now. Even young men can't catch up with your blood and energy now!" After Hua Kai finished speaking, everyone in the tent laughed.

"Grandson, grandpa is old and won't waste pills. You should give them to young people!" Hua Xing thought about it and said.

"Today, except for the housekeeper, everyone else must take pills. I still have these 9 pills." Hua Kai said and took back the pill of housekeeper Hua Fu.

After hearing what Hua Kai said, everyone happily took the [Peking Yuan Pill], looked at it carefully in front of them, and slowly put it into their mouths.

Only Hua Zichen didn't have the [Peking Yuan Pill], as if Hua Kai couldn't see it.

"After taking it, the rules are still the same. Don't mention anything here when you leave the door. Fifth uncle, wait a minute..."

Everyone nodded to show their understanding. The loyalty points of these people were all above 98 points. Hua Kai didn't worry that they would leak family secrets. Hua Zichen stood aside. He didn't believe that Hua Kai only forgot about himself in the end.

"Uncle Wu, this pill is called [Blood Dragon Pill], and it is more expensive than all the pills you just took. You may have some side effects after taking it, but you must exercise more within this month to absorb the medicinal power. If you feel any abnormality in your body, try not to leave the caravan recently!"

Hua Zichen knew what his nephew meant, and he nodded to show that he understood.

After taking the [Blood Dragon Pill], Hua Zichen could feel the explosive energy in it. He swallowed it in one gulp and gently felt the effect of the pill. At this time, a stream of energy slowly injected into his whole body. He hurriedly circulated his true energy to soothe and guide this energy, but this energy was completely uncontrolled and spread all over his body to temper his body.

It was as if there was a flame burning in Hua Zichen's body. This energy was not very strong, and Hua Zichen could completely suppress it. He could feel that his body seemed to be slowly strengthened. The effect of the pill was really amazing!

Hua Kai also took the [Blood Dragon Pill] after his uncle Wu left. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be promoted to Kaiyuan Realm within a month.

In general families, cultivation begins at the Kaiyuan realm. When the internal organs of the whole body are tempered, the true qi can be used at will, and the combat power will be greatly improved.

Even if Hua Kai's aptitude is only D- and no longer improves in this life, he will have a better understanding of the role of true qi when he enters the Kaiyuan realm one day earlier, and his strength will be much stronger than that of the same realm after adulthood.

Sitting in the carriage, Hua Kai looked back at the market with a little reluctance in his heart. The little slave who spent 3 gold to buy is now sitting next to Hua Kai, looking at Hua Kai with a smile on his face from time to time.

"Why are you laughing at me, little guy!" Hua Kai smiled at the little slave beside him.

"Master... Master! The slave is not laughing at the master!" The little guy looked at Hua Kai and said with some fear.

"Don't be afraid... What's your name, how old are you? Do you remember where your home is?" Hua Kai tried to speak in a kind tone.

"Reply to the master! My name is Mannu, I'm 11 years old this year... I only remember that my tribe was called Hulunbuir Eleuth Tribe before, my father died, and I don't know where my mother went! I came to Huyan Tribe." The little guy said.

Hua Kai thought the other party was only 8 or 9 years old, but he was 11 years old. He talked about his tribe and parents without any emotion. It was obvious that those memories had become faint in his mind.

"You are too thin and small. You need to eat more in the future! Have you ever thought about going home?" Hua Kai continued to ask.

"The tribe is gone! After the master bought me, I have to listen to the master. The master gives the slave good food, and the slave must protect the master in the future!"

This child is very smart. When he saw Hua Kai was the head of the caravan, he recognized him. Maybe because he spoke too little before, he spoke a little unsmoothly.

"Haha! You don't have to call me master in the future, but call me the head of the family! I'll give you a new name! You will be called Huaxuan in the future. You will definitely be very impressive when you grow up. Just stay by my side in the future!" Hua Kai looked at Huaxuan and said.

Huaxuan's eyes moved. He knew that giving himself a surname meant that he was accepted. In the future, he could proudly tell others that he was a member of a family. Huaxuan was so excited that he didn't know how to answer.

"Hua Xuan thanks the master... no, thank the master! Hua Xuan will definitely be obedient in the future, take care of the master, and protect the master!" Hua Xuan looked at Hua Kai and said.

How could a genius with A-level qualifications be stupid? His simplicity is just an appearance, a disguise for self-protection. It is not easy for an eleven-year-old child without parents to survive in a group of slaves.

Hua Kai checked Hua Xuan's attributes.

Hua Xuan: Level 4 of the Qi Condensation Realm

Qualification: A

Constitution: 8

Strength: 4

Will: 11

Loyalty: 43

Very simple attributes, as clean as a blank sheet of paper, loyalty has risen to 43 points in just half a day. It is the easiest to improve the loyalty of this kind of slaves. As long as they feel that the master family is worth their all, they will be loyal to the master family for life.

Hua Kai asked Er Zhuang to teach Hua Xuan the family's mental method [Quiet Heart Jue], and at the same time found him a seven-foot-long spear from the weapon compartment. Hua Xuan only took one day to get started with the mental method, which made everyone sigh at Hua Kai's accuracy in identifying people.

The Han family caravan left the Aohan tribe and headed northwest. It was still more than 2,600 miles away from the Huhan tribe of the Xiongnu Kingdom. The total journey was only halfway through. It would take about 50 days to reach the Huhan tribe.

Because all the caravans of the Guangxian merchant group were supplemented with fine horses, all caravans basically had two fine horses in one car, so that if they encountered horse thieves on the road, the team members could organize a horse team to deal with them. The war on the grassland was different from that in the Central Plains.

Hua Kai sat in the carriage and watched Hua Xuan carefully gesture the [Sky Spear] that Er Zhuang gave him. He had been a slave since he was a child and was malnourished and very thin. One [Yuan-pei Dan] could reduce his recovery time by half a year.

Hua Kai gave Hua Xuan [Yuan-pei Dan], and Hua Xuan ate it without thinking. As a slave, how could he know about elixirs? He just ate it because Hua Kai asked him to!

After taking [Peking Yuan Pill], Hua Xuan's spirit is much better than before. He used to be exhausted after practicing for a few minutes, but now he can persist in practicing [Sky Spear] for more than ten minutes, which makes other slaves in the same group very envious.

"You should follow the caravan and work hard. I will let those who perform well learn the family's mental method and martial arts. If they perform particularly well, they may be given the surname Hua." Hua Kai said to the slaves beside him.

Slaves also have to work when they arrive at the caravan, because they basically just rest on the carriage in the vast grassland. When the caravan stops to rest, they have to help feed the horses and put the caravan in order. Since Hua Kai promised that they can learn mental methods and martial arts, these slaves have been much more active at noon.

And Hua Kai also found that their loyalty value has increased much faster.

So you can't just be nice to people blindly, you must also have some skills. If Hua Kai orders them to learn mental methods and martial arts, they may resist in their hearts.

…

On the other hand, since Hua Kai and Hua Xing left, the entire family of Huajiabao has been managed by the three brothers Hua Ziqi, Hua Zijie and Hua Zihuan. This is actually no different from previous years, but this year Huajiabao is much more lively than last year.

Hua Zijie looked at the newly built outer wall of the Hua family with a smile on his face. The outer wall is more than six meters high and more than two meters wide. There are towers and corner towers on the wall, which looks very majestic. Now which village outside the city does not envy Huajiabao? They all say that the Hua family has reached the Qi training stage and wants to build their own city.

This statement is a bit exaggerated, and it is completely different when it reaches some people's ears. It's not going to happen soon!

"Shitou, why are you back? Where is my second brother?" Hua Zijie was happy in the city gate tower, and saw Shitou, the waiter of Guangxian Weapon Shop, walking back from the direction of the county town with a group of villagers.

"Third Master! Our weapon shop was taken away by the Shen family. They occupied our shop and drove us out of the weapon shop!" Shitou said with a depressed face.

Usually, if Hua Ziqi is not at the weapon shop, Shitou is in charge. Hua Zijie was furious when he heard this. How dare the Shen family bully people to such an extent?

"Where is my second brother? Where is he?" Hua Zijie asked hurriedly.

The Hua family usually has the second master Hua Ziqi in charge of the county shop. In the past, the weapon shop was the lifeblood of the Hua family.

The third master Hua Zijie is responsible for all affairs in the village, while the fourth master Hua Zihuan is responsible for the defense of the family. If there is an attack by wild beasts around the village, he must take people to rescue as soon as possible.

"Alas! The second master went to the Shen family to find the second wife. This time, it was the second wife who stole the house deed in the county and gave it to the Shen family. The Shen family could drive us away in front of the city guards." Shitou shook his head.

Hua Zijie went to Hua Zihuan to discuss countermeasures. In general, the family is the most powerful one who controls the army. Hua Kai asked the fourth uncle Hua Zihuan to take charge of the family village protection team and all the servants to guard the house, so such a big thing must be told to Hua Zihuan first.

In the side yard of the Shen family in Guang County, Hua Ziqi was arguing with his wife Shen Yueru.

"How did the Hua family's house and land deeds get into the hands of the Shen family? Don't tell me you don't know! Today, the Shen family drove all of our Hua family out with the land deeds. Our Hua family's shop in Guang County is gone! Shouldn't you explain it to me?" Hua Ziqi looked at his wife in front of him, and the anger hit his entire brain. He didn't expect his wife to do such a thing.

"Why are you so anxious..."

"How can I not be anxious? That weapon shop is the only stable livelihood of the Hua family. You stole the house and land deeds and gave them to the Shen family, right?" Hua Ziqi shouted loudly without waiting for Shen Yueru to finish.

"I took it... But I did it for you and Mo'er, for our family!" Shen Yueru admitted that she stole the house and land deeds.

"Why did you do this? Why did you do this? If Kai'er and Dad come back, how will you face it? Do you think that after taking the Hua family's land deed, this shop will be named Shen?" Hua Ziqi wanted to catch his wife and give her a good beating, but he didn't dare. This is the Shen Mansion of the ninth-rank family.

"Don't mention your good nephew! The Hua family went to the Xiongnu to do business? I have already found out that there are tens of thousands of horse bandits between Linhu and the Xiongnu this year. Even the Han family may be lost on the road. I think it's a problem whether Dad and your nephew can come back!"

"You..."

"What's wrong with me? Is what I said wrong? Even if they escaped by chance, do you know how much money the Hua family owes the Han family, the Wang family, and the Zhou family? It's 563 taels of gold, not silver but gold. Even if the Huajiabao is sold, it can't be repaid!" Shen Yueru looked at Hua Ziqi and said.

"Is this the reason for betraying the Hua family?" Hua Ziqi suddenly felt less angry. He looked into his wife's eyes quietly.

"It can't be said to be selling out. I just put the house and land deeds with my mother first. When the Hua family goes bankrupt and can't pay back the money, don't we still have a shop? I'm doing this for you and Mo'er." Shen Yueru looked at her husband's cold eyes and cried.

"Don't... I don't need you to do good for me, and my son doesn't need it either! What you did is just your personal behavior, or it was influenced and instructed by your Shen family. Do you think you can sit back and relax after getting the land and house deeds?" Hua Ziqi said.

"We can stay at the Shen family. As long as we wait until the caravan comes back this year, the Han family will definitely ask the Hua family to pay back the money. You also know the dangers of the grassland. The Shen family has been trying to go to the Xiongnu Kingdom for many years but has never been able to go. Do you think the Hua family can do it?

And think about your nephew. When he left, all the money for the family's expansion was given to the third brother. The entire Huajiabao was managed by the third brother. The entire village protection team and the guards were all in charge of the fourth brother. What did you leave behind? All the money earned from guarding the weapon shop every month was given to the family?" Shen Yueru shouted at Hua Ziqi unwillingly.
