Chapter 47: Dock Conflict
Throughout history, emperors who are very fond of merit have always liked to emphasize that strange phenomena appear in the world when they were born or ascended to the throne. Whether it is auspicious clouds or white snakes, they are called auspicious signs, which imply the legitimate meaning of holding power.
Of course, there is another simpler way to tell your extraordinaryness, such as: how long you spend in the uterus.
It is said that Qin Shihuang stayed for twelve months, so it was natural for these mortals born in ten months to rule the world. More magical mythological figures, such as Nezha, who stayed for three or six months, while Taiqing Taishang Laojun stayed for eighty-years.
Considering that Taishang Laojun is the uncle of Taiyi Zhenren, and Taiyi Zhenren is Nezha's master, it seems that it can be inferred that the longer you stay in the uterus, the more awesome you will be after you come out.
Ma Rui vaguely remembers that science in previous lives did prove that the fastest stage of human development and growth is in the mother body, and the remaining memory of that wonderful time will continue to death.
For example, soaking your body in a bathtub filled with warm water is the simplest and fast way to soothe, which makes people feel at ease and calm. The simulated way is the mother's uterus filled with amniotic fluid.
And Ma Rui felt this way at this moment.
Since traveling to the unfamiliar Qiyuan Continent, Ma Rui has been very nervous and his sleep quality is not good. At first, he thought this situation was due to leaving Simmons and the air conditioner, but in fact it was entirely due to lack of security, including the confusion of the future and the unfamiliar environment.
However, today's sleep is the most comfortable night since time traveling. Her whole body is surrounded by warmth, so in a daze, Ma Rui persuaded herself to sleep for a while and not to miss the rare opportunity.
It was not until he heard the rippling sound of water that Ma Rui suddenly woke up!
I don’t know if it would be safe if I soaked some parts in warm water, but when Ma Rui met Yang Shibei’s cunning and proud eyes, he shouted in horror: “Stop! What are you doing!”
"Master is sure I want me to stop?" Yang Shibei slowly raised her head, her eyes were half-blocked, and she twitched her drooping temples in her ears, and said charmingly and temptingly: "Are you planning to change your way?"
Without hesitation at all, his brain could not think. Ma Rui loosened his waist and lay back, accompanied by a sigh.
It is very difficult to force yourself to calm down, and Ma Rui has to try to distract himself from something else.
For example, test the ability to gain after swallowing snake gall last night.
Now I have experience. As long as I walk the spiritual energy around my body, wherever there is a different reaction in the past, it means where the ability appears, and then I will try it carefully.
It's a little strange today because something is wrong everywhere.
Ma Rui closed his eyes, and his spiritual energy slowly swam in his body. He felt that every tiny pore in his body seemed to be breathing and breathing, absorbing the cool outside air, and expelling warm gas from the body. Millions of weak and fine pores exchanged hot and cold gases at the same time, forming a thin troposphere on the surface of the body, as if a breeze swayed across the body.
Wherever the spiritual energy gathers, the pores become more active, and the breathing speed increases sharply. You can even see the curled breeze blowing slender hairs.
Yang Shibei was busy working, curious about the evil wind coming from, wondering if it was because she slept too fast last night and forgot to close the window.
Unexpectedly, a whirlwind suddenly appeared out of thin air in his mouth, which seemed like a breath of breath halfway through the balloon. Suddenly, my chest and lungs were swelling and pain, I raised my head and covered my mouth and straightened my body.
"Sorry!" Ma Rui grinned and apologized: "I didn't expect there were pores on it."
After gasping for several breaths, Yang Shibei stared at Ma Rui in a daze, but still didn't understand what had happened just now.
"I remember there is something else, so let's go first!" This scene was too awkward. Even if Ma Rui did not experience the last step of the harmony of life, he had no shame to lie back. He got up and raised his foot and was about to step out of bed.
But I never thought that the waist of my pants was still on my ankle! I tripped as soon as I raised my foot and fell from the bed to the floor.
Dong!
The guys downstairs were also shocked, and there was no need to make such a big noise when urging people to open the door!
Ma Rui didn't care about the pain, so he quickly carried his pants and limped back to the bathroom without running back.
Only the young lady of the Yang family was still shocked. She sat on the bed in disheveled clothes, her eyes were confused. After a long time, she smacked her lips before muttering softly: "What's wrong!"
The morning sun is warm and the warm tide comes from the lake, making Linhucheng Pier more vibrant.
The cargo ship unloaded boxes of goods to the dock and then dragged them to other towns around Canglan Lake by carriages. The quarrels of merchants and the roars of coolies shouting horns made the entire dock very noisy.
Groups of travelers came and went back and forth, boarded or got off the boat, and relied on the light boats on the lake to travel around the entire Donglin River.
But today the guests on the boat saw a strange figure.
It seems that the boy is about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a round face, thin skin and tender flesh, and fair skin that is less weathered at first glance. He guessed that his family background is good.
It is not uncommon for a boy of this age to swim naked by the lake, but the scene is a bit weird at this moment.
Whenever humans swim, no matter what method they do, they try to keep their bodies parallel to the water surface, and occasionally they are upright just to raise their heads to breathe. However, the boy in front of him was actually half-body standing on the water surface, and he didn't know what he had stepped on under his feet, his hands and legs were not moved, like a wooden stick, led by a rope to float back and forth on the water surface.
The spectators were amazed. This position is not fast, but it is better to look good! This is still a boy. If it were a girl, she would stand up with her head and chest, so she would be more pleasing to the eye!
However, this scene did not last long. As more and more people watched, the boy sneaked underwater and disappeared, and never showed up again.
When Ma Rui appeared on the lakeside road again, he had already been dressed neatly.
With these pairs of hands that can iron clothes, Ma Rui does not lack dry clothes at all. Especially today, he has gained new abilities and can spray heat from the pores on the back of his hands, making him a dryer.
This ability is useful, but it does have some effects. For example, when swimming just now, as long as the pores on the back of the legs are constantly exhausted, the body will move forward like a propeller installed underneath.
Unfortunately, the spiritual energy in the body is too little, the speed cannot be increased, and the consumption is quite large, and it consumes all the spiritual energy in just two or three hundred meters.
Ma Rui guessed that one day he would have enough spiritual support, and he might be able to simulate a jet and fly into the sky with this ability.
But that's still too far away. The current spiritual energy can only try to try the feeling of floating in the water.
Overall, this ability is considered useless, but Ma Rui is already very content, which means that the ability to acquire monsters has not disappeared, and it is still a reliance on becoming stronger. It seems that the evil object cannot at least change his special physique.
And aren't there two snake galls waiting for me now?
Ma Rui was ready to go back to the clinic, but when he looked up, a chill suddenly came. It was not that the old man in the white coat appeared again in his previous life, but that Ma Rui seemed to be lost again.
It is too easy to walk from the clinic to the lake. Just go north and south, but looking back is not the same. Facing the seventeen or eighteen similar uphill roads on the pier, Ma Rui was at a loss.
Damn! I forgot that I don’t have a phone or no positioning. At this time, I don’t choose Baidu Navigation, which has more advertisements than maps! Ma Rui stomped his feet and hated him.
Just as I was about to find someone to ask for directions, my mind thought again and it was over! I went to Linhu City yesterday. When I entered the clinic, I didn’t pay attention to the hanging door at all. I didn’t know the name of my mother-in-law’s clinic at all!
"Well, can I ask, which clinics are available in Shi's family?" Ma Rui actually didn't even know the name of his mother-in-law. He felt frustrated and asked the vendors selling fish on the roadside with no confidence.
"Ha?" The fishmonger had originally greeted him with a smile, but when he saw that he was not a customer, he responded angrily: "Why would you rather ask which ones are not from the Shi family!"
Most of Linhu City is from a historical property. I am afraid it can be found one by one, but it may not be found until dark.
"Then...whether is the nearest?" Ma Rui asked afterwards without giving up.
"Here!" The fishmonger pointed casually and there was a clinic along the street of the pier. Of course, it was definitely not the one Ma Rui was looking for.
"Then please ask, how can the Shi family leave?" Mrs. Yang returned to her parents' home yesterday, and Ma Rui can only rely on her hopes to find her mother-in-law.
The fishmonger stared at Ma Rui like an idiot, muttering: "Where did the furry child come from? Go play! Have you nothing to do to have fun?"
There are still people in Linhu City who don’t know Shijia? Isn’t this intentional search for trouble?
"No, no, I'm from another place." Ma Rui explained with a smile.
"Who are you hustling?" The fishmonger was eating and drinking at this pier, with sharp eyes. At least it seemed that passers-by rarely missed: "You have no luggage or money. Can you not come to find trouble early in the morning? You should also look for others if you want to find one!"
Ma Rui was afraid of embarrassment before, so he didn't go back to his room to get his coat after washing up, and went out with just a thin shirt, and naturally there wasn't even a silver purse. At this moment, he really couldn't argue.
"You... just say why don't you leave?" Ma Rui also became anxious: "I didn't bring my money today. Isn't it OK to buy things with you tomorrow?"
"Hey! What are you buying?" The fishmonger's business is not good at all. There are still many kids in front of you, and I feel even more irritated.
"Crab...the eight-clawed hard-shelled water spider!" The crabs I brought on the road yesterday were not fresh even if they hadn't finished eating them. Ma Rui was about to buy them again.
"Get out!" The fishmonger shook the knife of the scales and gestured at Ma Rui, cursing: "I'm saying it's not a entertainment! Why don't you buy arsenic in the pharmacy?"
The disgusting hard-shelled water spider fishermen will directly smash it to death and throw it away when they catch it. The cats and dogs at home will not eat that kind of thing, and they will tear the fishing nets, which will make fishermen most trouble.
Ma Rui had something to ask for, so he naturally bowed his head and bowed, and he leaned forward. The fishmonger made a random stroke. The knife really hit Ma Rui, and he cut a hole in his left chest and suddenly saw blood.
This time, Ma Rui was also angry and refused to talk about it. He even hurt himself!
"You want to die?" Ma Rui covered his chest, gritting his teeth.
Although the wound was not deep, the scale-scraping knife was rusty and bloody. I don’t know how dirty it was. Ma Rui was so angry that he was about to start immediately.
The fishmonger was also unintentional, but when he saw the blood, he was panicked. He thought that he had not made money yet and might have to lose money later, so he was even at a loss. However, when he heard Ma Rui speak rudely, even if he was in the wrong, the fishmonger still stubbornly said, "What's wrong! You, a bastard who has a father and a mother, will touch my bad head early in the morning! I will teach you a lesson!"
As soon as he said that, the fishmonger's exposed neck, whose veins were squeezed by a scorching palm, and his neck was suffering from difficulty breathing and his neck was painful. He didn't care about any consequences, so he held the knife and stabbed him at the other party.
Ma Ruiyuan met with one hand and pressed against the other party's wrist to prevent the knife from hurting him again. He raised the temperature on his hand to the limit, and could almost hear the sizzling sound of the skin touching between his palms.
Fishmongers living in a gathering place like the dock, cursing and naturally not passing through their brains. Unexpectedly, Ma Rui was a single-parent family in his previous life. He hated others scolding his mother the most, and he fought with the National People's Congress many times in school.
Even if you have traveled through time, this is still a forbidden area that cannot be touched!
"Stop! Which rogue boy dares to make trouble here?" A majestic and sturdy voice came, accompanied by heavy footsteps, and it seemed that the wooden partitions on the pier could not bear the solid weight of the owner's voice.
Chapter completed!
