The Great Era of Siheyuan

"real or fake?"

Now it was Li Wenqiang's turn to be surprised. There actually existed such a strange person in the world.

"Of course it's true. How can I lie to a young man like you? You haven't seen much of the world, so I'll let you broaden your horizons. Look carefully, left and right, up and down, front and back!"

Old man Wu straightened his body and started performing in front of the two people. He looked very relaxed.

Li Wenqiang could understand the ups and downs, after all, everyone could do it, and a few people could barely give it a try. But the front and back was a bit too unbelievable, is this something a human can do?

At this moment, a strong desire emerged in Li Wenqiang's mind for the first time. He must obtain his martial arts.

"Amazing, old man. I didn't expect you to be so strong despite your age!"

At this moment even Liu Ergou was impressed by Old Man Wu and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Awesome, right? Now you've seen how awesome I am! I'm telling you, I've had six wives, and none of them lasted more than a year. If those prostitutes hadn't stopped doing business with me, I wouldn't have lost my kung fu. Boy, you're a demanding person, so I won't ask for much. How about one thousand yuan and I pass this kung fu on to you? This is a dual cultivation kung fu that I got by accident. Besides men's, there's also women's kung fu. I guarantee you'll benefit greatly from it in the future!"

When Old Man Wu said this, he started to think about Li Wenqiang again. After all, selling one thing is selling two things. He is over 60 years old this year, and who knows how long he can live. He finally met a big client, so it would be right for him to make more money and enjoy himself.

"Five hundred! If you agree, I'll pay right now!"

Li Wenqiang directly cut the price in half. When he was about to bargain with Old Man Wu, he heard the old man say without hesitation.

"make a deal!"

"Damn! I'm so careless!"

Li Wenqiang felt that he had suffered a great loss, but he had no regrets. After all, which man could resist such temptation?

"follow me!"

After saying this, Old Man Wu took the two of them to the east wing.

After opening a room, apart from a bed, there were several bookshelves filled with books. Li Wenqiang saw the covers and saw that many of the books looked at least several hundred years old.

Old Man Wu searched around and finally found a book behind a bookshelf.

"It's been several years since I put it away. I thought I remembered it wrongly, but I didn't expect it to be here! Look, this is the book! I practiced with this book back then."

Old man Wu said proudly while holding the book.

"show me!"

Li Wenqiang said this and reached out to take it.

Wu Yong took the book back directly and said vigilantly.

"Boy, do you understand the rules? Do you understand that you should pay the money and receive the goods at the same time?"

"How can I know if it's real or fake if you don't show it to me? What if you're lying to me?"

Li Wenqiang asked back.

"What a joke! I'm already so old, but I can still deceive a twenty-year-old kid like you. Who do you think I am?"

Wu Yong looked very angry.

"Who can tell for sure? Who knows if you are a liar? I just gave you 500 yuan for a book. Do you think we are fools?"

Liu Ergou retorted.

"Then what do you say we should do? I can't find a woman to practice on you guys, can I?"

Old Man Wu looked at the two of them helplessly.

"Can you show me first, and then tell me how to practice?"

Li Wenqiang asked him directly for a book. No matter what it was, it was impossible to cure it by just practicing. There must be supporting methods and medicines. If he didn't have these, he was 100% lying.

"Here you go! Even if I showed you, you wouldn't be able to do it without my guidance. Come and watch if you want."

Wu Yong handed the book over directly.

Li Wenqiang took the book, which contained the secret method of dual cultivation of yin and yang. He opened it and saw that it was filled with various erotic illustrations and classical Chinese texts, with some annotations beside them, and no one knew who wrote them. There were also routes for practicing qi and exercising qigong at the end, and finally a few prescriptions.

"Wouldn't it be better if you brought it here earlier? You're wasting everyone's time by handing over the money and receiving the goods at the same time!"

Liu Ergou complained to him, then turned around and started watching.

After seeing the prescriptions at the back, Li Wenqiang threw the book to Old Man Wu.

"Old Wu, keep this book to press your coffin! Tiger penis, bear gall and dragon bone, these are just three of the herbs, and their value is at least more than three hundred yuan. Dozens of herbs are needed here, and a prescription will cost at least five or six hundred yuan, and you have to take it continuously. This prescription is for the emperor! Do you think I have nothing to do? Are you teasing me?"

Li Wenqiang pretended to be very angry.

"I didn't lie to you. I relied on foreigners to enter the capital and stole the medicinal materials when there was chaos in the palace. If you don't believe me, I still have a few pills here. I will give them to you. When you eat them, you will know that I definitely didn't lie to you."

Old Man Wu said this with great confidence, and then he took out a small gray medicine bottle from a lump on his back. It was unknown whether this thing still had any medicinal effect.

"Old Wu, I can give you the money, but I have a request. Except for this book and the elixir, all the books and calligraphy here belong to me. If you agree, I will give you the money now!"

Li Wenqiang looked into his eyes and said.

"No problem, just take it! But I have a request, you have to give me 100 kilograms of food, and the rest can be exchanged for money."

Old man Wu agreed without hesitation. He knew the price of these things. If it were any other time, he would definitely not buy them. But now he couldn't even fill his stomach, so who would care about this?

"No problem. I'll give you 200 kilograms of pumpkins and charge you one dollar per kilogram. Is that okay?"

The only food Li Wenqiang has now is this pumpkin. The corn has been picked and planted in the field. The rest are vegetables. It is impossible for him to have all vegetables. Only this pumpkin, which can be used as both a vegetable and food, can sustain him.

"No problem, open!"

Wu Yong's eyes lit up when he heard this.

It's time to eat food substitute powder, so why worry about what kind of food to eat? That's the official's problem. He's lucky to have something to eat now. Put the pumpkin in the pot and cook it, add some grains, and the taste can't be bad. It's better than grain.

"Okay, that's a deal. You can keep the money first. Write down the recipe for the elixir and give it to me later. Ergou, you stay here and watch. I'll go back and ride my bike."

Li Wenqiang counted out three hundred yuan to him, then took the books and pills. His face remained expressionless, but he was secretly delighted in his heart.

"You've made a fortune, kid. All the books here were stolen from the Imperial Hospital. If I hadn't been a bad person, these precious books wouldn't be left here to gather dust with me."

Old Man Wu spoke with some emotion. He was also a well-known figure in the medical field in the past, but after decades of changes, he is almost forgotten now.

"Keep these words to yourself and reflect on them slowly. I don't have time to listen to you."

Li Wenqiang left immediately after he finished speaking.

He had to go back quickly to drive the tricycle over and transport these good things away. With so many ancient medical books, as long as there were three or five unique prescriptions in them, they would be countless wealth in the future?

He didn't believe a word Old Man Wu said. If he really had a conscience and responsibility, he wouldn't have let so many wives run away, and no one would say that he sold his wife and daughter.
