Chapter 94: Involution to the Extreme
Chapter 94: Involution to the Extreme
"Xiao Chuan, let me take a look."
The sudden, hoarse voice instantly woke everyone up.
Ye Jingchuan, not bothering to close his mouth, picked up the book and turned to approach the bed.
"Brother-in-law? You're awake? Are you feeling unwell?"
The people in the lobby had the same reaction, swarming over in a flurry.
"Second brother, how are you feeling?"
"Erlang, are you feeling better?"
"Second Uncle, does it still hurt?"
"Father, you're awake?"
In an instant, all the fresh air near the bed was depleted.
The people from the west wing also broke through the encirclement as quickly as possible.
"Cough, cough, you guys... ugh..."
Ye Jingchuan was prepared and precisely grabbed a broken basin from the side to catch the vomit.
Hey, the crowd that had just approached suddenly backed away.
Even a slightly healthy patient would feel somewhat bothered by such a situation.
However, Wen Qiyuan was not a normal person at this moment; his mind was entirely focused on the cultivation manual.
After he finished vomiting, he took a mouthful of water, rinsed his mouth, and spat it out. Then he casually removed the blindfold from his eyes.
"Xiao Chuan, give me the book, I want to take a look."
Ye Jingchuan quickly snatched the cloth and covered him up again, saying, "Brother-in-law, be careful of your eyes."
Wen Qiyuan!
There's a kind of "good" that only family members consider good!
He decided to just tell the truth.
"Actually, I've been awake for a while now. I watched you passing the letter through the cloth strip. I finally waited until you finished reading it, and now I want to see it too."
"Brother-in-law, haste makes waste. Tell me how you feel right now."
"I feel like my eyes have recovered, but my whole body aches. It's an indescribable pain. You've seen how it hurts, it's like that."
After carefully examining the patient's pulse, Ye Jingchuan sighed and said...
"Some of the toxins have been released, but you still need to continue taking the medication. You cannot let your guard down."
"Yes, I'll do whatever Xiaochuan says."
The others were just about to speak and continue their barrage of concerned words.
Wen Qiyuan raised his hands and shouted, "Don't worry, everyone, I'm fine. I just want to look at that book. Can you let me read in peace for a while?"
Ah!
Wenwen was laughing inwardly.
My second uncle is truly a fighter who won't leave the front lines even with minor injuries; even in this state, he's still thinking about reading.
What a talent! I admire him. Could he be the second-generation "King of Rolling" in his family?
My guess is correct.
Everyone in the room fell silent for a moment.
Only a child's clear voice rang out, "Daddy, my second sister and I just finished tidying up a book, would you like to take a look?"
Wen Chengmo held up a newly completed copy in his hand and showed it off to Wen Qiyuan.
"Good son, your father loves this book, and of course, he loves you too."
"Hehe, hehe..."
Wen Qiyuan patted Wen Chengmo's head, and the father and son immediately started playfully fighting.
Grandmother Wen ignored the tender moment between the father and son.
She held several books in her hands and handed them to Wen Yuanqian.
"Sir, I've also prepared a few books here. Please take a look."
This was quite a surprise. The little children, upon hearing their grandmother distribute the books, immediately became excited.
They all eagerly sought credit from their fathers.
"Father, I helped fold the paper pieces."
"I'll grind the ink."
"I'll add water."
"I, I, I'll be good," one of the little ones blurted out in a moment of panic.
"Ha ha ha ha......"
The people in the front hall burst into laughter.
In just over an hour, I was able to organize several books, which was quite a rewarding experience.
With a dozen or so people in the lobby, there's at least enough space for two people to read one book at a time.
As the leader, Wen Yuanqian never forgets his original aspiration.
"Madam, you should go back to the west room. While you're copying the books, you should also urge the maids to catch up as soon as possible. We don't want any of us in the family to fall behind."
Wenwen then struck a clever pose, pretending to be obedient, "Grandfather, don't worry, we are women from a military family. Women are just as capable as men, and the whole family will definitely make progress together."
After saying that, Wenwen walked out of the front hall with high spirits.
As if they had planned it beforehand, the women of the Wen family entered the west room, took their places, and secretly continued with their work.
They followed through to the end; copying it once was equivalent to reading it once, and copying it several times would help them memorize it.
Wenwen found a corner, sat down, took out her books and cards, and began to copy furiously.
It's truly fortunate that we can rest in Yanta Town for a day today.
She wanted to make the most of every second, and after copying it down, she would ask her teacher for further instruction on new knowledge.
The setting sun's rays gradually shone into the room.
The girls and wives in the west wing copied, drew, and quietly memorized, creating a tense yet orderly learning atmosphere.
The learning atmosphere among the male students in the front hall was even more intense.
They read the book to understand it while watching the live demonstration in the middle of the hall.
Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin demonstrated the moves in the middle of the room, based on the illustrations in the book.
Due to the limited space in the lobby, the moves they demonstrated could only be imitated by following the instructions and mimicking the styles.
The shedding technique, which has no speed whatsoever, looks rather awkward and comical when demonstrated in slow motion.
"Hehe, hehe..."
Wenwen, who had been watching from the front door for a long time, couldn't help but laugh.
Master Zhou was closest to the door. Hearing the sound, he looked up and saw her, especially the stack of cards in her hand.
He understood instantly.
Master Zhou put away his book, stood up and walked to the entrance of the front hall, casually pointing to the card in Wenwen's hand.
"new?"
"Yes, Master, it's new."
Master Zhou took the card and explained it to Wenwen as he looked at it.
This time, Wenwen brought out the first part of the "Breathing and Qi Refining Technique".
Ah Ying repeatedly urged her to get started as soon as possible, but although the book had few words and she recognized the words, she still didn't quite understand it. In short, she didn't understand it thoroughly enough, and she needed the teacher to give her some guidance.
"The energy of heaven and earth originates from all things, and the energy of all things exists within themselves. This means..."
Master Zhou was incredibly adept at analyzing these kinds of passages, especially when combined with his readily available vocabulary and allusions.
He tore the pages apart and crumpled them up, then poured them all out to Wenwen, even using hand gestures when he got excited.
As Wenwen listened, she had a sudden realization and became somewhat distracted. She suppressed her dazed state, encouraged herself, and even pinched her thigh until tears welled up in her eyes before stopping.
Wenwen's subtle actions caught Wen Yuanqian's attention.
The old man became distracted, and at some point, his gaze turned to the doorway, and he began to listen intently to Master Zhou's explanation.
The master's explanation made him feel both vaguely familiar and completely confused at times.
As if possessed, Wen Yuanqian quietly came over, sat down next to Master Zhou, and picked up the card that Master Zhou had temporarily placed on the table after explaining it.
The old man looked at it and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed, and the more excited he became, his lips trembling as he spoke.
"Wen'er, what, what are these?"
