"A lot more?"
Chu Yao and Qi Shan took action almost at the same time.
Each person takes the pulse of one hand.
Shen Tang couldn't help but blush and said, "... You two were so serious, I thought I was going to die soon."
"What are you talking about, Wu Lang!" Chu Yao took back his hand, his expression solemn, "Who would curse himself like this so early in the morning? There is nothing wrong with the pulse, and the flow of literary energy is also smooth and smooth, and it is indeed stronger and more surging than before. How is the Danfu? Is there anything wrong with Wenxin?"
It takes more than three or five days to accumulate literary talent.
This is an extremely long and boring process. Chu Yao's first reaction to the sudden increase in the amount of cultural energy in a short period of time was that Shen Tang had gone astray, or had paid a price to overdraw his future potential in advance. Either way, it would be very detrimental to his foundation and lifespan.
but-
With Wu Lang's temperament, he or she had no reason or motivation to do so. Chu Yao did not let go of his worries, but became more worried.
Qishan searched again and again but found nothing unusual.
"Danfu is very normal, Wenxin is also very upright - um, not quite normal -" Shen Tang lowered his head and looked towards Danfu. He blinked as the two were shocked, and asked a serious question after a while, "Can Danfu also grow stones?"
Qishan didn't understand, so he asked, "What is a stone?"
Shen Tang frowned in worry and looked anxious.
"They are solid lumps that grow out of certain human organs. They look like rocks. When there are many of them, there can be dozens or even hundreds of them. They grow inside the body and cause pain, bleeding, and infection... With the current level of medical care, I personally feel that I can basically say goodbye to this world..."
Others have stones in their kidneys, gallbladders, and bladders…
When it's her turn, she will have stones in her Danfu
Is Danfu also considered a human organ
Shen Tang was puzzled.
Her words also frightened Qi Shan and Chu Yao. After they calmed down, they reacted differently.
Chu Yao asked: "How can stones grow on a person's body?"
Refugees who are extremely short of food might go crazy and eat Guanyin soil and small gravel, but Wulang is a mobile bakery and there is no way he can eat that stuff, so there is only one truth!
Qi Shan turned around and teased Chu Yao.
"You added rocks to your diet?"
Chu Yao's face turned pale: "Qi Yuanliang!"
He, who was always amiable, showed a murderous smile, as if he would give Qishan a few words if he talked nonsense again.
Shen Tang's face was filled with black lines.
“… It’s not a stone, it just looks like a stone.”
She felt that Qishan was implying something about her.
Chu Yao, who added stones to the food, was wicked, so what was I like for not being able to taste the stones in the food and still eating it? Was I stupid
The two of them changed their previous relaxed attitude and looked at each other tacitly.
Qi Shan said: "Let's find a doctor to take a look."
Their medical skills are only good enough to treat headaches and fevers, and they can do nothing when faced with difficult and stubborn diseases. If it is true that as Wu Lang said, there is a stone in the Danfu... no, a stone, it needs to be solved as soon as possible. The Danfu Wenxin is like a second life, and it cannot be lost!
Qi Shan went to Gu Chi without any courtesy.
When Gu Chi heard that Shen Tang was in trouble, he readily lent him the person.
Shen Tang: “…”
The doctor had gray hair on his temples and was a very reliable medical expert. He carefully felt Shen Tang's pulse several times. After hearing that she had a stone in her body, the doctor asked, "Does it hurt under your ribs?"
Shen Tang shook his head.
The doctor asked again: "Do you have abdominal pain?"
Shen Tang continued to shake his head.
The doctor then asked, "Do you have back pain or night sweats?"
Shen Tang shook his head.
The doctor asked a few more questions and said there was absolutely no problem.
He packed up his medicine box and said, "Is this young man trying to make fun of me? Your body is in great shape, your pulse is strong, your blood is abundant, and you don't have any symptoms of internal stones. If you are worried, you can drink more water, find a martial arts master to learn martial arts, and eat less oil and meat..."
When Shen Tang heard this, he felt that this doctor had something special.
Asked: "Can this cure it?"
The doctor said, “It’s hard to say.”
Shen Tang: “Ah?”
The doctor explained, "My method is of limited effectiveness. Most of the patients in the past died of pain or a sudden high fever. The location of the stones in their bodies is different. The patients before were all ordinary people, but you are a scholar, and the location of the stones is in the Dan Palace, so I said 'I can't say'."
Before leaving, he wrote a prescription for Shen Tang.
She glanced at it and saw words like Centella asiatica, Poria cocos, Plantain, Atractylodes macrocephala, Alisma orientalis, Herba Lysimachiae... Shen Tang's expression became visibly embarrassed - my goodness, all of them are for diuretics, treatment of edema and weak spleen and stomach...
She had stones in her dantian, not urinary tract stones.
All right-
Maybe that thing in Danfu wasn't a stone at all.
Chu Yao and the others were slightly relieved when they learned from the doctor that Shen Tang was fine. After all, the increase in cultural energy was a good thing, as long as it didn't hurt the foundation. As for the others, if there was any discomfort, they should be informed immediately.
After sending the doctor away, Shen Tang rested his chin on his hand and thought: "My intuition tells me that the sudden increase in literary energy should be related to the 'stone' in Danfu."
Qi Shan asked her, "What does the stone in Danfu look like?"
If he didn't know that Shen Tang would not joke about his own body to scare others, he would have suspected that the so-called "stones" were non-existent.
Shen Tang closed his eyes and sensed carefully.
She asked, "Like an animal?"
Qi Shan asked, "Animals? What animals?"
Shen Tang said: "A four-legged beast? Like a raccoon or..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Shan and Chu Yao's expressions changed at the same time.
"You said it was a four-hoofed beast? It looked like a raccoon?"
Shen Tang didn't understand: "Yes."
Qi Shan stood up suddenly and walked out with big strides.
After a while, Gong Shuwu's voice was heard from outside the house. He said, "Mr. Qi, please walk slowly. Let me tidy up your appearance..."
Qi Shan took Gong Shuwu, who was accompanying his nephew Gong Cheng to practice sword and martial arts, into the house, closed the wooden door with his backhand, and cast a spell to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping. Gong Shuwu was shirtless, with his shirt half off and hanging down to his waist, and his well-defined muscles were soaked with hot sweat.
He was pulled over from the martial arts training ground by Qishan.
As soon as I entered the house, I noticed that the atmosphere was not right.
Asked: "What happened?"
Shen Tang shrugged and spread his hands: "It's not a big deal..."
Qishan became even more angry when he heard this.
"Isn't it a big deal that a martial artist like you, a scholar with a literary mind, has a martial artist in your Danfu? Half a step, show it to Youli."
After these words were spoken, Gong Shuwu's face darkened slightly.
The person involved was completely confused.
He hurriedly said, "Yuan Liang meant... that the stone is the martial courage??? But didn't you say before that there are examples of people who have condensed both the literary mind and the martial courage, but without exception, they either died young, became mentally retarded, or lost all their abilities and became ordinary people?"
Chu Yao added: "He is an ordinary person with stupidity."
Shen Tang: “…”
Is she the fool? ?
Gong Shuwu did not dare to neglect him. He saw Shen Tang's talent. Shen Wulang also held the imperial seal and was his nephew's brother-in-law, the only child of the Shen family... No matter who it was for, Shen Tang could not get into trouble. But the test results -
Martial energy did appear in Shen Tangdan Mansion.
The literary spirit is strong but the martial spirit is weak.
But the two maintain a very delicate balance.
The question is—
When did Shen Tang gather his courage to fight
Gong Shuwu didn't know whether to test Shen Tang's IQ first, or to doubt his life first - the threshold for becoming a martial artist is much lower than that for becoming a scholar, but it's easy to get started but hard to master. To condense martial courage, one must temper the body, tendons, and meridians...
Only after repeated efforts can success be achieved.
And Shen Tang seemed to have skipped the entire process.
Qishan and the other two looked at each other in silence.
Shen Tang is so special.
He was in good health, full of energy, and powerful... As for his brain, it looked quite normal, with no signs of dementia for the time being, which completely broke their previous common sense.
Gong Shuwu comforted the two gentlemen.
"Perhaps this matter has something to do with the Great Seal?"
The common sense they knew was collected from ordinary people. No ruler had ever integrated both civil and military energies into his body before... Maybe the national seal was the key to creating this special case
Since I have no clue, this is the only way I can comfort myself.
Qi Shan felt like he was about to let out all his anger for the whole year. "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Young Li, the matter of Wu Dan and Wu Qi must not be revealed to anyone, at least not now. Qi Shan is worried that it will attract unnecessary prying eyes, and he is also worried that someone will think of the national seal."
Shen Tang naturally knew the importance of the matter.
Life is the most important thing.
"Well, you can rest assured about this."
Qishan: “…”
No, he couldn't feel at ease!
After dealing with Shen Tang, he turned his attention to Gong Shuwu.
In Shen Tang's current situation, it would be best if he had a high-level warrior to look after him. He didn't want Gong Shuwu to leave before he found a replacement. With just one look from him, Gong Shuwu understood everything without saying a word.
So he nodded at Qishan.
Some tacit understandings need not be expressed in words.
He is not an ungrateful person. After receiving so much care and help, it is natural for him to refuse now that he is needed.
Shen Tang muttered softly.
"Maybe it's not as bad as you think..."
After all, he is a time traveler with rare attributes. He has no personal system, no personal space, no personal spiritual spring, and no personal grandfather. He is not a big guy who is invincible at the beginning and wanders all over the map. He just has a golden finger that allows him to practice both civil and military arts!
Is this too much
Not too much at all!
Very Beaver!
Qi Shan looked at the unrefreshed Young Master Shen, and suddenly felt tired. He sincerely felt that this young Master was more troublesome than all the previous "masters" combined. At least those "masters" would not scare him with "surprises" from time to time.
He said: "Don't put your hope in 'maybe'."
This kind of uncertain thing is the most unreliable.
Chu Yao was also secretly worried.
My destiny is such a fool, how can I play this
It was precisely because of this that he lived in the shadow of "Goro becoming a fool overnight" for a long time in the future.
Shen·Shadow Maker·Tang said: "Let's think about it from another angle. Maybe my brain has reached the level of dementia now. So I don't have to worry anymore, right? Believe in yourself and believe in me!"
Qishan: “…”
Chu Yao: “…”
Gong Shuwu: “…”
The three of them looked at each other in a subtle way.
Listen, there is some truth in that. Shen Xiaolangjun/Wulang/Shen Wulang is indeed not very smart at times.
Shen Tang, who originally wanted to brag about himself: "…"
But what are those looks from you three
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Do you really think she is mentally retarded!!!
What she meant was that even after going through the aura of reduced intelligence, she still had an IQ at the level of an ordinary person. Before her intelligence was reduced, she must have been a genius among geniuses, which was why she was able to obtain the unprecedented golden finger of cultivating both civil and military skills!
It definitely doesn't mean I admit that I'm really mentally retarded!
Shen Tang was so angry at Qi Shan and the others that he almost had a heart attack.
However, she soon stopped caring about these.
The rebels outside the city threw corpses into the city at regular intervals and locations.
Although Wu Yuan and Gu Chi used the personnel left by the former county governor Yan Cheng to maintain order in the city, many people were still driven to collapse by this operation. In addition to the disorder, there was another serious problem before them: the city began to lack food.
The price of grain in the grain shop doubled in just a few days!
There was a shortage of food for sale, and people did not have much grain stored at home. Coupled with the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, some people soon chose to take risks.
Some people stole from their neighbors, while others gathered in large groups to attack rice shops. The police patrolled everywhere around the clock, but they were unable to suppress this unhealthy trend.
The people were short of food, and the troops guarding the city were even shorter.
Shen Tang almost choked on his saliva when he heard the news: "We can't lack food for anyone but soldiers to defend the city. It's impossible that the granary is out of emergency food for war preparation. Can't we use it for emergency use?"
The autumn harvest has just passed.
Even if the harvest is poor, there will be new rice stored in the warehouse.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chi revealed an unexpected truth: "It should be like this, but when I took people to check the granary today, I found that not only is there no new rice this year, but even the old grain stored in the past is less than 30% left, which is very different from the account!"
The new rice is nowhere to be seen.
The amount of aged rice has also decreased by 70% in previous years.
There is a big trick here.
Shen Tang asked: "Why didn't you notice it before?"
Gu Chi: "How can I find out? Shen Lang thinks I am a god with three heads and six arms? Xiaocheng is so big, there are too many places to take care of. I am not enough alone. How can I have the energy to check the false accounts that others have carefully balanced? Previously, the food was sufficient, so I dispatched soldiers to defend the city first."
When he found that the existing food was less than seven days' supply and the people in the city were also beginning to run out of food, he prepared to open the granary to relieve the shortage, but found that the granary was empty and even the rats were too lazy to visit.
Some of the remaining 30% of old rice was damp and moldy.
Judging from its color and smell, this batch of aged rice is three years old.
Haha, it’s a good thing that the former county magistrate escaped quickly, otherwise, just based on the matter of the granary, his whole family would be in trouble!
Without food, the people in the city would be in complete chaos even without the enemy throwing corpses to create an atmosphere of terror and despair.
Shen Tang: "... You see, I'm useless..."
She can feed dozens of mouths with plenty of bread, but with thousands of troops stationed there and tens of thousands of civilians, it's impossible to squeeze her dry.
Gu Chi rubbed his brows.
He didn't expect to get a solution from Shen Tang.
In fact, like Wu Yuan, he didn't really care about what the final fate of Xiaocheng would be - in the face of the absolute strength of the rebels, all the efforts of this city were in vain and were just a waste of time.
Why did I talk about this with Shen Tang...
Because it was Shen·Chatty·Lang who first brought up the topic!
Shen Tang frowned: "Should we rob the rich and help the poor?"
