Chapter 7: Oh, those with kidney deficiency!
"Thank you, village chief!"
Hearing this, Wang Ping breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It seemed that the village chief believed his words, and the problem of his identity and background was barely resolved.
Actually, Wang Ping really wanted to say that he wanted to stay here for a long time.
After all, he knew nothing about this world now.
Once he left the village, he would be out on the streets.
Frankly speaking, it would be very dangerous.
However, it was already good enough that the village allowed him to stay for a while, and he wasn\'t in a position to ask for more.
...
"Big brother, what\'s in your bag? It smells so nice."
At this moment, a ten-year-old girl wearing a linen dress and with braids mustered up the courage to trot over. She pinched Wang Ping\'s clothes, staring at him with her innocent big eyes, her voice clear and melodious.
After the ten-year-old girl came over, the other children hanging behind seemed to have gained a backbone. They all surrounded Wang Ping, staring at him with wide eyes.
Some children even gulped, swallowing their saliva.
"..."
Wang Ping\'s expression froze under the children\'s gazes.
He still remembered the contents of the Life Simulator.
If they ate it, the outcome would definitely be very tragic.
After all, the village chief had nearly killed him after eating it, not to mention giving it to the children.
"This is a food from my hometown. Although it\'s convenient to eat, and it\'s fragrant and tasty, it\'s poisonous and harmful to the body. It\'s not suitable for children."
Wang Ping\'s brain was spinning fast, and finally, he chose to tell the truth.
"Poisonous, that\'s scary."
"Are all people from the outside world so stupid? They actually eat poisonous things."
"Grandpa said that if it\'s poisonous, don\'t touch it, no matter how delicious it is."
"Eating poisonous food affects martial training, I don\'t want to eat it."
As Wang Ping told the truth, the children showed disappointed expressions and then dispersed.
With that, Wang Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are all the people from your hometown so crazy?"
The village chief looked at Wang Ping, his gaze a bit weird.
"..." Wang Ping opened his mouth but didn\'t know how to respond.
"No wonder your body is so weak. It seems that it\'s not only because of indulgence in lust, but also because of this food."
Seeing Wang Ping\'s awkwardness, the village chief shook his head and spoke.
"Young man, don\'t be immersed in lust or the so-called deliciousness. Cherish your body."
"What the village chief taught is right. I won\'t do it in the future."
Wang Ping felt awkward and pretended to take the advice humbly.
Being pointed out that indulgence in lust had emptied his body was indeed embarrassing.
However, modern people indeed had many bad habits that were frightening, so he couldn\'t refute it.
"Village chief, do you think I can still practice martial arts?"
Immediately, Wang Ping asked with a hopeful face.
"The kidneys are the foundation of one\'s innate constitution, and your innate constitution has been severely damaged, which has a great impact on martial training. Moreover, you are old now, and it\'s too late to start training. Even if you force yourself to train under the immersion of medicine, you won\'t achieve much in the future, at most just strengthening your body."
The village chief glanced at Wang Ping and handed him a death sentence.
"...."
Wang Ping had nothing to say.
However, he didn\'t completely despair.
After all, he had the chat group and the Life Simulator.
There was still hope for martial arts in the future.
The seniors in the chat group had not necessarily been in a better situation than him before crossing, and now they were all on the path of cultivation.
Especially senior Cai Yonglong, who was doing really well.
"Of course, you don\'t have to be disheartened. There are benefits to martial training and benefits to being an ordinary person. As for different life paths, there is no absolute better or worse."
"Sometimes, living a peaceful life is better than entering the World of cultivators and fighting every day."
Seeing Wang Ping\'s silence, the village chief comforted him.
"The village chief is right. But this experience has taught me the importance of martial training, so I will still work hard to train in martial arts. I have also heard of some people who started practicing martial arts in their middle age, had good luck and obtained precious medicinal treasures, and achieved extraordinary success in the end."
Wang Ping first nodded humbly, and then seriously said.
"Your narrow escape from death is indeed a lesson, and it\'s safer to have strength by your side when traveling in the Jianghu. As for the medicinal treasures you mentioned, it all depends on your fate. If your fate is good and you obtain some elixirs that can make up for your innate constitution and improve your qualifications, you may achieve something in the future."
The village chief nodded, approving Wang Ping\'s words.
Of course, he didn\'t think Wang Ping could obtain such treasures.
After all, these heavenly and earthly Spirit items were things that could be met but could not be sought after.
"Alright, you can stay here. Meanwhile, help this old man take care of a child."
During their conversation, the village chief stopped in front of a very simple courtyard.
Wang Ping looked around and saw four chickens and three ducks in the courtyard.
In addition, there was a yellow dog rolling on the ground, playing with a big goose.
"A child?"
Wang Ping looked puzzled at the village chief.
"Yes, he is called Chifeng. His parents died in a hunting accident. Due to the sudden departure of his parents, he suffered excessive grief and became silent and reticent, staying in the house all day."
The village chief nodded and spoke.
"You are from the outer world and should be an educated person who has read books. I hope you can help me enlighten this child."
Wang Ping was surprised how the village chief could tell that he had read books.
However, Wang Ping didn\'t have any intention to ask further and nodded, saying, "Since the village chief has entrusted me, I will do my best."
"Hmm."
The village chief nodded and pushed open the fence, leading Wang Ping in.
When Wang Ping and the village chief walked into the simple wooden house, they saw a thin boy, who looked about eight years old, sitting in a chair and staring blankly, apparently lost in thought.
Even when Wang Ping and the village chief walked in, Chifeng just glanced at them and didn\'t greet them, continuing to lower his head and stare blankly.
"Chifeng, Grandpa has brought a guest for you. He will stay here for a while and can tell you about the outside world."
Seeing Chifeng\'s appearance, the village chief sighed inwardly. He then showed a kind smile, walked over, and touched Chifeng\'s head.
It was only then that Chifeng reacted somewhat.
However, Chifeng quickly lowered his head and said with a hoarse voice, "I don\'t want to know about the outside world. I just want my parents to come back."
Hearing this, the village chief gave a bitter smile.
The child was too stubborn, and no matter how they tried to persuade him, it wouldn\'t work.
But considering the sudden death of both of his parents, the blow to a child was indeed great, so it was understandable that he couldn\'t walk out of it.
