The next day.
Bai Tian Yu woke up from his cultivation, stretching his limbs.
He looked at the sun for a while.
Don't misunderstand, Bai Tian Yu doesn't have any special ability like the "Purple Extreme Devil Eye", he was just simply looking at the sun.
"You're up."
Seeing Lao Hu already awake and brushing his teeth, Bai Tian Yu called out.
“Pfft!”
Lao Hu was startled by the voice from above, turned around, saw it was Bai Tian Yu, and flipped him off.
This was something Lao Hu learned from Bai Tian Yu. Whenever Bai Tian Yu was speechless, he'd use this gesture.
"Whoosh!" Bai Tian Yu appeared beside Lao Hu.
"Damn you, old man!"
He turned around and saw a handsome face, which startled Lao Hu.
"I'm really done with you, you scared me in broad daylight!"
"Why are you so cowardly? I'm doing this to help you train. What if you go tomb raiding and get scared to death?"
Bai Tian Yu just said "it's for your own good", leaving Lao Hu speechless. In the end, he gave Bai Tian Yu the middle finger.
Who doesn't know who, you idiot!
"Fatty, give me a teacup, I need to brush my teeth too!"
He shouted towards the inner room, and Bai Tian Yu took out a toothbrush from his bag.
"No more, use Lao Hu's."
Wang Fatty was also already up, making noodles. He planned to eat breakfast and then go find Da Jin Ya to buy some things.
"Here!"
He handed Bai Tian Yu a teacup and went back to organize his own backpack. Today was the day they went to the Ox Heart Mountain.
One hour later, the train station.
"Lao Hu, couldn't your watch be a little more expensive?"
"We should buy some local specialties to bring back, wouldn't that be better?"
Wang Fatty kept muttering the whole way, making Lao Hu want to slap him.
"Just forget it, Fatty. If Tian Yu hadn't told you not to buy that broken TV, you probably wouldn't even be able to afford candy!"
Lao Hu patted Wang Fatty's back with exasperation, complaining.
"Yeah, Tian Yu, why didn't you let me buy the TV? To show it off to the villagers!"
Wang Fatty wasn't happy when it came to this.
Bai Tian Yu, in a new outfit, wearing a leather jacket and hiking boots, his appearance was greatly enhanced.
He looked like a spirited young man in his early twenties, turning heads and attracting the attention of countless girls and women.
"Just forget it, are you crazy? That small village you're talking about, it's in the mountains, do they have electricity?"
"No electricity, you'll just have a useless decoration. Better buy some daily necessities and candies."
Bai Tian Yu was speechless. In this era, electricity was still a rare commodity. Even in Beijing, not every household had electricity!
What's more, in the mountains, even if you bought a TV, you wouldn't even find a place to buy batteries!
"Hmm, it seems you're right!"
Wang Fatty finally realized, he'd forgotten that Ox Heart Mountain didn't have electricity, while in Beijing, electricity was everywhere.
"Ugh, come on, old Bai, at least take some stuff. I can't carry everything myself, can I?"
Wang Fatty looked at Bai Tian Yu, who was only carrying a travel backpack, with both hands free, and complained.
"What's it to me? It's all your stuff, we agreed that everyone carries their own things."
It was Wang Fatty who made the agreement earlier, and now he's the one going back on it, any sense of shame?
"Ugh, just help me a little bit, we're almost there!"
Wang Fatty felt a bit embarrassed and said in a pleading tone.
"Ugh!!!"
Bai Tian Yu took a large backpack with disgust and walked away quickly, it was so gross!
A big man still acting so girlish!
Watching Bai Tian Yu striding ahead, Wang Fatty opened his mouth.
"No, Lao Hu, you think this guy has been taking steroids or something? He's so strong!"
"Is that cultivation technique really that powerful?"
Remembering that Bai Tian Yu became this way because of his family's cultivation technique, Wang Fatty was drooling.
"Fatty, just forget about that stuff. I've realized, we probably can't learn it!"
Shaking his head, Lao Hu understood.
Let alone how long it took for Bai Tian Yu to cultivate to this level, to begin with, is there really that much spiritual energy in the world?
It's said that ancient tombs are places of good feng shui, but not all places of good feng shui are filled with spiritual energy.
"We still need to try, what if it works!"
Wang Fatty was a classic example of someone who doesn't learn until they've experienced it themselves. Even though he had tried it a few years ago, seeing Bai Tian Yu's successful cultivation results made his heart flutter again.
"Hey, where are the tickets?"
Seeing Bai Tian Yu go inside, Lao Hu asked.
"Didn't I give them to you?"
Wang Fatty was stunned, he couldn't believe it and asked.
"How could they be with me, check your bag quickly!"
Feeling his pockets, Lao Hu asked anxiously.
"No, let me see!"
Wang Fatty was about to take his bag down, but when he turned around, he saw Lao Hu already on the train with three tickets in hand.
He put on his backpack and quickly followed.
"Lao Hu, you're playing me!"
In this era, travel was very inconvenient. Taking the train didn't even take you directly to your destination.
So, after a three-hour train ride, they had to take a donkey cart for a part of the journey.
Especially their destination was deep in the mountains, they wouldn't even see a tricycle.
If it weren't for the kindness of some villagers, they might not have reached their destination even by nightfall.
"Bai Yi Ge, Fatty Ge, you're finally back!"
"Fatty, Bai Yi, why didn't you come back to visit?"
"Come on, call me Uncle!"
As soon as they arrived in the village, a group of villagers rushed out, the first one was Yan Zi, the daughter of the family Lao Hu and Wang Fatty stayed with during their time in the village.
If Lao Hu hadn't left, he would probably have been Yan Zi's husband.
Unfortunately, when they met again, Yan Zi was already married.
It made Lao Hu feel a bit nostalgic, but Wang Fatty was just happy!
"Wang Shen, I'm here to see you!"
"Yan Zi, long time no see!"
While walking, he also gave out candy.
"Thank you, Uncle!"
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Looking at the pure villagers, Bai Tian Yu smiled and handed out candy.
It was clear that these villagers truly cared for Lao Hu and Fatty, their smiles were genuine.
Compared to the gossiping aunts and uncles of later decades, they were countless times better.
