Lord Zhang Fei-Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Something Must Be Wrong With Your body, Son

When Zhang Fei heard this, he couldn’t help being shocked. Only the Qiu sisters knew about his own cultivation, and did not let others know. How did his mother know about it? His eyes couldn’t help but glance at both Qiu sisters. They must have revealed this to his mother.

When Zhang Xuan’er saw this, she couldn’t help frowning, as if she was a little dissatisfied with her son’s repeated concealment of such thing from her, and said. “Wei’er, you don’t have to hide anything from me. I’m your mother. I’ve already known about your cultivation practices for a time, I just decided to ignore it, but now, I’m beginning to notice some things. Tell me, where did your cultivation method come from? And don’t tell me you came up with it yourself.”

After Zhang Fei heard his mother’s words, he suddenly panicked. He felt like a child who had done something wrong and was instantly caught by the tail. Naturally, this kind of thing should not be concealed from his mother, but Taoist Feng Mo had told him that even his relatives could not be aware of it.

After all, to be on the safe side, the less people knew, the better. This was not to disrespect his parents at all.

Zhang Fei took a deep breath, and immediately bowed to his mother respectfully, and said, “Mother, it’s not that your child couldn’t tell you. It’s just that you might be afraid for your son’s safety.”

Zhang Fei knew that the cultivation matters could no longer be concealed, so he became wise and said casually.

Zhang Xuan’er couldn’t help wondering: “Oh son, but it doesn’t matter. Isn’t it my work to worry about your safety, cultivation or not? Now tell me what’s going on.”

.....

Zhang Fei had no choice but to continue: “Mother, since I was born, there has been a cultivation method in my mind. At the beginning, I did not know that this is a practice method. But two years ago, your child accidentally discovered it. After practicing the exercises in consciousness, I found that this kind of exercises can make the child’s body extremely comfortable. Therefore, your son practices daily according to the exercise method, and it is true that every day, there’s progress. Now your child’s body has changed. It’s getting stronger and stronger.”

After he finished explaining, with his big eyes blinking innocently, Zhang Xuan’er was shocked. She knew he was telling the truth without any trace of doubt.

“Hong, Shuang.” Zhang Xuan’er said to the two women. “Serve my son something to eat first. I need to take him to meet someone in a while.”

“Yes, clan mother.” The two girls replied.

And under the clan mother’s gaze, Zhang Fei ate the food after being served.

At this time, the sky was already bright. Most of the young and strong members of the clan had gone out hunting. The women of the tribe each was doing some chores, and some people were playing with dried fish and other things in the sun. The children of the tribe were laughing and playing in groups of three or five.

Under the leadership of their mother, Zhang Fei, Qiu Shuang and Qiu Hong, left the tribe’s ground and walked toward the distant hillside.

Nearing the hillside, the sound of iron knocking came from the distance. After walking a little longer, a house built with stones resolutely appeared in front of everyone. This was the yurt of the only blacksmith among dozens of nearby tribes.

At this time, Mammoth was hammering an iron sword outside the house when he sensed some presence. He raised his head, and saw, from a long distance, four figures walking towards him. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

Slitting his eyes, he found that besides the three of the Wang’s children, the clan mother was also there.

Mammoth quickly inserted the iron sword into the furnace and waited for them to reach him. He cupped his hand to greet everyone, starting from Zhang Fei’s mother.

“Clan mother.” Mammoth spread his hands, held his palms up to his chest, bowed deeply to Zhang Xuan’er, and performed a standard tribal ceremony.

It felt a bit like the archaic Jinjin’s act of making offerings.

Zhang Xuan’er hurriedly waved her hand and smiled, “Big brother, don’t be too polite.”

Zhang Xuan’er had never been self-contained, and always treated Mammoth as a big brother. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

Seeing that his mother had brought them to find the Mammoth, Zhang Fei couldn’t help thinking that since he sked the Mammoth to make the hand cannon a day before, his mother must have found out about it.

So Zhang Fei went to Mammoth and asked in a low voice. “Uncle, I want to ask about the drawing?”

“Okay. I made three for you.” Mammoth also said in a low voice like Zhang Fei, as if he was afraid that others would hear it. Then he glanced at the corner of the wall from the corner of his eye.

Zhang Fei also looked up, and saw three hand cannon leaning against the foot of the wall neatly. They were cut from fine bronze, and were much thicker than the modern barrel of a rifle in his old world.

Zhang Xuan’er also turned her head and glanced at the three weird-shaped objects at the foot of the wall. It was obvious that she heard the conversation between the two, but she ignored them, and turned to the Qiu sisters. “Hong’er, Shuang’er, you guard outside, don’t let other people come in.”

Later, Zhang Xuan’er pulled Zhang Fei and said to Mammoth. “Brother, let’s go inside and talk.”

“Okay, clan mother.” Mammoth made a please gesture and led Zhang Xuan’er and her son into the stone house.

It was the first time Zhang Fei had entered the stone house, but the arrangement of things in the house was not very messy. A dozen of iron sword were randomly piled on a wooden table in a corner of the house, and iron blocks of various sizes were piled under the table.

Next to the table was a large wooden frame, which was filled with many finished arrows, iron axes, spears, iron swords and other weapons.

On the other side of the room was a simple wooden bed with a fur mattress. He saw the color of rust hung on the fur, obviously it hadn’t been used for a long time. Next to the wooden bed was a big box and some simple cooking utensils.

After entering the room, Zhang Xuan’er couldn’t help but calmly face Mammoth and said with a serious face. “Brother, first check if there’s any abnormalities in Wei’er’s body.”

After Mammoth heard it, he didn’t seem to understand what was going on, but still focused on Zhang Fei. Then he grabbed the veins on Zhang Fei’s wrist, closed his eyes, and began to explore Zhang Fei’s body with his spiritual sense.
