Chapter 141 The Ambitious Shanwa and the Forgotten Tiger
"Selling steamed buns!"

"Selling steamed buns!"

The next morning, the sky was clear and the sun shone through the clouds onto the earth.

The shops in Taiping County gradually became lively, with a bustling crowd of people and constant hawking sounds.

The courtyard where Shen Qing lived was not far from the downtown area. He heard the hawking sounds outside the courtyard early in the morning and woke up slowly.

He sat up from the bed, stretched, and felt the long-lost comfort and tranquility.

Shen Qing grabbed his clothes from the end of the bed and put them on, then opened the door and walked out.

At this time, outside the house, Uncle Shen Er and Aunt Shen Er had already woken up and were doing chores.

Compared to the excitement when they first came yesterday, the two were now much calmer, and even began to show some boredom.

There is no way to avoid this; it is what happens when you are in a new environment and have some free time.

Shen Qing wondered whether he should find something for his uncle and aunt to do in the future, such as selling some pancakes to make a living.

"Qingzi, are you awake?" Uncle Shen Er was sitting on a stone chair with a whetstone on his legs, sharpening the arrowhead.

Shen Qing smiled and said, "Uncle, did you guys sleep well last night?"

"It's fine." Uncle Shen Er glanced at Auntie subconsciously, his complexion was particularly good: "I have never lived in such a good house in my life. Shanwa has his own bed, so he doesn't have to share a bed with us anymore. It's very comfortable."

"That's good. Where's Shanwa?" Shen Qing asked, looking around.

"I fed your horse in the morning. There are two horses in the house now, and the fodder is not enough. Do you want to sell your poor horse?" Uncle Shen Er looked up and said.

Shen Qing said: "Don't sell it for now, maybe it can be used in the future."

He was not short of money at the moment and could afford to keep two horses.

Shen Qing walked to the stable and saw Shanwa combing the horse's hair. Although he was very small and not even as tall as the horse, he sat up very skillfully.

He was surprised and asked, "Shanwa, when did you learn to serve horses?"

Shanwa stopped what he was doing and asked, "Brother, are you up?"

"I learned all this from a master in the outer city. I heard that he used to be a horse herder and was very good at raising horses. When I was raising old horses, I asked him for advice a lot."

He walked outside the stable and said to Shen Qing seriously, "Brother Qingzi, your black horse is really a good horse. It should be able to run thousands of miles a day. A horse like this cannot just eat grass. It needs to be fed eggs, soybean meal, salt, and about a stone of millet every day."

"Hey, I didn't expect you to know so much." Shen Qing looked at Shanwa, who was four years younger than him, in surprise: "If you know these, I will give uncle some money later, and you can go to the market to buy some."

"Okay, I will definitely raise the fat of your horse, Brother Qingzi."

When they lived in Hongshan Village, no one had enough to eat, so Shanwa was stunted and looked a little thin.

However, ever since Shen Qing rose to prominence, the conditions of his uncle's family have improved at a visible rate, and Shanwa's body has become stronger day by day, no longer as frail as before.

Shen Qing smiled and asked, "How is your martial arts training going?"

"I don't know either. I just felt a surge of energy in my body, and I became much stronger." Shen Xiaoshan said as he lowered his head and felt it.

Shen Qing said: "You are feeling the Qi and blood. Practice more, eat well, and drink well. Maybe it won't be long before you can achieve Qi and blood perfection and become a true martial artist."

Shen Xiaoshan's eyes lit up and asked, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. When you feed the horses in the future, buy more fine grains, rice and meat. Eat as much as you want. I, your brother, can still afford this amount of food."

Good horses eat refined food, sometimes even better than what humans eat, so many horse herders in wealthy families have lucrative jobs. Shen Xiaoshan is an ambitious person.

He probably saw that his elder brother Shen Xiaohu was hanging around him and showing signs of making a name for himself, so he didn't want to fall behind and wanted to stand out.

Early in the morning, he came to feed the horses, perhaps intending to eat horse feed to quietly train himself.

He even secretly studied the art of horse breeding and tried hard to acquire a skill instead of relying on Shen Qing for everything.

This kind of mentality is very rare in a poor mountain village like Hongshanzhai.

Shen Qing admired it very much.

Knowing what Shanwa meant, he naturally wouldn't stop him.

Not only should we not stop it, but we should also provide more support.

It just so happens that he now has some capital, so maybe he can bring back some tonics in the future to nourish Shanwa and speed up the progress of his qi and blood training.

When the two brothers grow up, it will be of great help to him.

After all, they are all blood relatives in the family, and in this world, they are definitely more reliable than others.

Thinking of this, Shen Qing suddenly realized a problem.

Where is Xiaohu?
It seemed like they forgot to inform him when they moved. Where did he go to rest last night?
Shen Qing's expression turned strange.

He quickly washed up and walked out of the room.

After watching Shen Qing leave, Uncle Shen Er glanced at Aunt Wang and said, "Wife, when the kids are asleep at night and there's no one else in the room, shall we have some more sex?"

Aunt Wang glared at Uncle Shen Er and said, "Look at your behavior. If you have the guts, just beat me up right now."

Uncle Shen Er glanced carefully towards the stable and glared at Aunt Wang.

"I didn't expect you to become more refined after moving to a new house." Aunt Wang grabbed Uncle Shen Er's arm and said, "Come on, follow me into the house."

boom!
In broad daylight, the door of the wing room slammed shut.

After passing through several familiar streets and alleys, Shen Qing arrived at Linfeng Hall and strode in.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shen Xiaohu standing in the outer courtyard, doing horse stance, frowning, looking into the distance from time to time, obviously worried about something.

Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person was not lost.

He quickened his pace, came to Shen Xiaohu, and asked softly: "Xiaohu, what's wrong? You look worried."

When Shen Xiaohu heard Shen Qing's voice, he turned around abruptly, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He hurriedly grabbed Shen Qing's arm, his voice trembling a little, and tears were shaking: "Brother Qing, you are here! Something big has happened!"

Shen Qing was infected by Shen Xiaohu's nervous expression and became nervous too.

He patted the back of Shen Xiaohu's hand, signaling him to calm down: "Don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what happened?"

Shen Xiaohu took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then whispered: "I went home last night and found that my parents, Shanwa, and Sister Fang were gone! The house was completely empty! They must have been murdered by some bad guys."

Shen Qing couldn't help laughing and suddenly felt that the child was a bit pitiful.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Speak!"

Shen Qing said: "Xiao Hu, you are not a child anymore, can you not cry when you encounter problems in the future?"
