Chapter 41 Leaving the City

Chapter 41 Leaving the City
Autumn of the third year of the Qingli period.

September 26th, 3:30 am.

Qin Feng was sitting at a noodle stall not far from his home, eating noodles with big mouthfuls and a look of happiness on his face.

The weather is starting to get cooler now, and eating a mouthful of hot mutton noodles is such a pleasure.

The people sitting at the next table were discussing "Pingchuan County Hot Search", which was also Qin Feng's main channel for receiving information from the outside world.

"Have you heard? There's a plague in Nanshi Town. The son of our county magistrate, Mr. Liu, discovered it on his way back and reported it immediately."

"That's not all! After reporting it, Master Liu even sought out famous doctors and asked for two prescriptions specifically for preventing and treating the plague. He is truly kind-hearted!"

"Who is that famous doctor?"

"I heard his name is Feng He, he's really a miracle doctor!"

This news had been circulating in Pingchuan City for several days, and Liu Shouren handled it very cleverly.

Not only did he gain fame for himself, he also brought his son along with him.

Now Liu Yelin has gained a reputation for being kind, which is an impression point. If important people see him and remember him, then that will be of great use.

"Waiter, give me two more pancakes to take away!"

After Qin Feng finished his noodles, he reached out to take the big meat pie wrapped in oil paper and began to eat it happily.

While eating, people walked towards the South Gate.

Didn’t he want to go out and practice Qinggong yesterday?
If you want seclusion, open space and no one to disturb you, the best place is naturally the mountains and forests outside the city.

Since I have to go out of town anyway, wouldn’t it be a bit of a loss if I just do one thing?
So Qin Feng thought about the old medicines in the county town, most of which were out of stock, so he thought about going out to pick some himself.

Now that he is very powerful, he can collect herbs much faster than ordinary people, so it is not a waste of time.

Moreover, he hadn't been home for a long time, and Qin Feng wanted to go home to see his parents and master.

So, when Qin Feng was about to reach the South Gate, he bought some daily necessities and went out of the city carrying a basket.

"Uncle, what are those police officers doing?"

Not long after walking out of the gate, Qin Feng saw some officials on the official road, holding a special bag and walking towards the distance.

He was curious and asked a passerby next to him.

"What else can they do? They must be collecting taxes!"

Hearing this, Qin Feng suddenly recalled that he had impressions of these people in his memory.

Last year, officials came to Qinjia Village to collect taxes. They also carried a bag and a small scale in their hands.

There were also people holding a book with a list of names on it, with the items to be ticked in red after paying taxes.

Taxes in the Qing Kingdom were collected once a year, usually after the autumn harvest.

It is almost October now, and some places are still in the autumn harvest. It is considered early to start collecting taxes now.

After thinking about it, Qin Feng went straight to Qinjia Village.

Originally, he thought that he could just walk back along the mountain road and get home before dark.

Given the current situation, it would be better to go back and take a look first.

at the same time.

Inside the county town, at the gate of the house Qin Feng rented.

Liu Yehui was knocking on the door, calling out "Doctor Qin".

Behind him stood two people, Liu Shouren and Liu Yelin.

Today Liu Yelin's health has improved a lot and he is almost recovered, so Liu Shouren took time out of his schedule and brought his son to visit him in person to express his gratitude.

Liu Yehui came out to lead the way because he knew where Qin Feng lived.

However, when he called several times, there was no response from inside the house.

"Did Doctor Qin go out to see patients?" Liu Shouren asked. "I'm not sure." Liu Yehui shook his head.

Just then, a woman came out from the next room.

After seeing Liu Yehui and the other two, he said, "The young man has gone out and is not at home now."

"Do you know which direction he went?" Liu Yelin asked hurriedly.

"He went south, carrying a package, probably heading out of town."

Out of town?

Liu Yehui immediately thought that Qinjia Village was just outside the south of the city. Could it be that Qin Feng had returned home?
"Dad, Doctor Qin might have returned to Qinjia Village." He expressed his guess.

"Qinjia Village?"

Liu Shouren knew all the villages around Pingchuan County. Qinjia Village was not close to Pingchuan County. If he walked, it would take an hour and a half to go back and forth.

It would take more than half an hour to go back and forth by carriage, and Liu Yelin had just recovered from a serious illness and was not suitable for the bumpy journey.

After thinking for a while, Liu Shouren said, "Let's go back first and have someone keep an eye on this place. If Doctor Qin comes back, we'll come over to thank him."

Just like that, the few of them didn't delay any longer, but turned back and walked towards Liu's Mansion.

"It's a pity that I can't see my benefactor today." Liu Yelin sighed.

"Wow!"

In the mountains and forests, Qin Feng kept jumping up and down, sometimes jumping onto branches, sometimes jumping onto boulders.

His whole body flew quickly towards the south, and the wind blew Qin Feng's hair everywhere.

[Bird Travel Proficiency +1]

"Cool!"

There were many people walking on the main road, so Qin Feng quickly went into the woods next to him, and then used his lightness skills to run towards the direction of Qinjia Village.

And this run was like turning on some kind of switch.

Before, Qin Feng felt timid when performing Qinggong due to the venue.

But now, when he ran quickly, he felt his mind became more open.

Although practicing martial arts cannot compare to cultivating immortals and one cannot fly with a sword, the feeling of soaring in the wind is really exciting.

But having said that, this bird movement is indeed an advanced level of light skill.

It consumes a lot of internal energy to perform this technique. He had only been running for less than a quarter of an hour when one-fifth of the internal energy in his body was gone.

You know, even if he used all his strength to perform Taihe Fist for an hour, it wouldn't consume even one fifth of his true energy.

In other words, these thoughts only flashed through Qin Feng's mind. If he spoke them out and let others know.

Its influence will probably shock the entire Qing Kingdom's martial arts world.

Because everyone is very familiar with Taihe boxing, it is indeed a moderate and peaceful style of boxing.

But if you use all your strength and don't hesitate to spend your true energy, it can become extremely ferocious.

Even if you are using standard boxing, the amount of energy consumed will be terrifying if you use all your strength.

For a fifth-rank warrior, if he were to use the Taihe Fist at all his strength, it would take less than an hour, at most two quarters of an hour, for his true energy to be exhausted.

In Qin Feng's case, it can only be said that the Taihe Fist he used is no longer the same martial art compared to that of others.

Qin Feng was not aware of these things.

It cannot be said that he was unaware of it, because he knew clearly that what Chaoyang Martial Arts School taught him were all very basic, even incomplete.

And after "evolving" through his talent, its degree of completion will definitely surpass these "defective" ones.

But he never expected that it would be so different from the original version.
