After all the matters were finalized, Bai Qi felt much lighter, as if a medium-sized stone had fallen to the ground.
He finally understood why the top practitioners opened martial arts schools and recruited many disciples.
If you can't stop producing, be supported by others, and have a stable way to make money.
How can I rest assured to work hard and hone my fists and feet?
Worrying about food, food, clothing, daily necessities, and daily necessities will inevitably lead to distraction and difficulty in concentration.
No matter how powerful a practitioner is, he may not be able to improve his kung fu!
"So, only by becoming a rentier class can you become famous with your fists and kicks."
Bai Qi understood.
The huge Heihe County has distinct upper and lower levels, separated by layers of obvious barriers.
It is extremely difficult for people from humble backgrounds to break through the constraints and squeeze in through the threshold.
Even practicing martial arts, which is regarded as one of the options by countless fishermen and woodcutters, is full of ups and downs and thorns.
Become a filial piety to tea, buy medicine and practice to improve, please the senior brothers and masters, in order to teach the real thing...
I struggled to climb over step by step, not knowing how many pits I had to step on before I could reach the other side.
"Ah Qi, please stay for a meal. I'm sorry that you have to work so hard and hard until now.
My mother-in-law has no other skills, but her cooking skills are outstanding! "
Uncle Changshun winked at Aunt Zhou and sent her to cook.
"That's right, I killed the two silver carp kept in the water tank, and then pulled out some wild vegetables and stir-fried them to make soup. It was quick!"
Aunt Zhou stood up in a hurry and asked Xiatou to keep her company, as if she was afraid that Bai Qi would leave.
This is the simplest way to thank the folks.
Do your best to prepare a good meal for your guests!
"I'm so greedy for the fish cooked by my aunt! I still remember when I went down to the river with Xiantou, and I deliberately stayed at the door just to wait for the smoke coming out of your house, so I could have a meal!"
Bai Qi touched his stomach and deliberately looked like he was gluttonous, making the atmosphere in the back room instantly cheerful.
Uncle Changshun, Aunt Zhou, and Xiatou all laughed and started talking to each other about embarrassing anecdotes that happened in the past.
Everyone's relationship seems to be getting closer.
Not long after, the food was served.
Two pieces of white silver carp were placed on a plate, one stewed and the other braised, with a lot of minced ginger, garlic, and black bean pepper. It looked delicious and delicious.
When a poor family invites guests for a meal, the most sincerity is to be willing to sprinkle condiments on them.
Because it is rare, it is more expensive than oil and salt.
Two plates of wild vegetables, divided into stir-fried and soup.
The bottom is spread with flavored oil residue and minced meat.
At first glance, it seems that there are both meat and vegetables, which is very rich.
"There's nothing to say about the food cooked by my aunt. I haven't had such a satisfying meal in a long time."
Bai Qi was so angry that he finished several bowls of food and ate it until he was full.
"The more you eat, the stronger you will be! Practitioners should learn more!"
It attracted Aunt Zhou to pick up vegetables again and again, and she was very satisfied.
"Ah Qi has practiced kung fu and can also stand upright. I haven't even started to become a disciple yet, so how can he compare to him!"
He has a thin monkey-like head and a depressed mouth, and a grimace on his face.
No matter where you are in the world, it is uncomfortable for parents to compare you with "other people's children."
Before leaving, Bai Qi did not forget to say two words:
"Uncle Changshun, we have settled the matter of fishing together.
But don't be in a hurry to go to the ground. Rest for two days and wait until the injury is completely healed before you can start working again. "
Uncle Changshun said with a naive smile:
"I know, it's so beautiful when someone is taking care of you. I must lie down longer."
Aunt Zhou, who was sitting on the bedside feeding, raised her hand and pinched it gently:
"It's not serious. It sounds like I've been treating you two badly!"
Bai Qi didn't want to see his uncle and aunt put aside this show of affection, so he hurried out dragging the shrimp.
There is a rare full moon hanging high tonight, shining on the field ridges as if sprinkled with salt.
When they arrived, Shrimp Tou walked in front.
Walking back, he followed behind.
After holding it in for a long time, he whispered:
"Ah Qi, this time... thank you."
Bai Qi shook his head:
"You are so polite. I was cold and unconscious for a long time. My brother said that you secretly pulled ginger from Song Banjiao's vegetable garden and brought it to me to make soup, so I was almost bitten by a dog.
We're all good brothers, don't be so outspoken. "
The shrimp lowered his head and kicked the weeds on the roadside as he walked:
“Fortunately, you’re okay and you made it through.
There are so many young fishermen in the Heishui River, but you and A Xie are the two of us who have the best friendship.
Ever since he sold himself as a groom, there has been no news about him and no one knows how he is doing. "
Bai Qi raised his head and looked at the moon, with a few rays of nostalgia flashing in his eyes, like a stranger missing home:
“Everyone has his own way out, don’t worry so much.
After you enter Songshan Gate to pay homage to your master, you must practice your martial arts well.
Without good skills, it is difficult to live a prosperous life in Heihe County.
I hope you and A Xie can live a decent and comfortable life one day. "
Xia Tou clenched his fist fiercely and waved it toward the air:
"I will never let Wang Lezi and the others bully my parents again!"
Two young people of similar age, under the full moon, on the ridge of a field, each harboring big or small expectations in life.
Only the sparkling black water river flows slowly, silently witnessing.
…
…
Five days later, Dongshi Shop.
In the spacious open space in the backyard, Bai Qi, who had taken off his shorts, was standing.
He put his tongue on the roof of his mouth, dropped his hands, and spread his feet.
Not too small, not too wide, shoulder width apart.
The waist, chest, abdomen and back move constantly.
The entire body frame seemed to be carried by invisible hands, and was lifted upwards with all its strength.
Cooperate with the breathing rhythm that is sometimes gentle and sometimes intense.
The energy and blood twisted into a thick rope traveled quickly throughout the limbs.
Like strands of silk threads tightly entangled, and like pieces of rough embryos tempering impurities.
Bai Qi's bronze body looked red and hot, like a cooked prawn.
The increasingly abundant and thick Qi and blood is in the body with strong muscles and bones.
It is repeatedly tightened and quenched back and forth to form some stronger strength!
"Tsk, tsk, that's so fucking outrageous! It's only been a few days, but it's already getting really exciting!"
Liang Laoshi sat in the rocking chair, sipping tea and eating snacks, with undisguised surprise in his eyes.
"Putting it in the inner city of Heihe County, where Gao Luo is one of the top three martial arts schools, he is also a good candidate to be his successor!"
Five days to get strong!
It is indeed very rare for low-income fishermen who do not have access to powerful tonics to maintain their health and the guidance of masters.
"Dad, the fish soup is ready. You can drink a bowl first. I'll save it for Ah Qi."
Liang Sanshui brought a big bowl and squatted next to the old man. The thick soup was steaming.
"A two-pound silver sand carp is not as good as the last one, but it is enough to relieve the root of your disease."
Liang Laoshi's face was complicated and he said sincerely:
“As the saying goes, the mouth that eats people is short, and the hands that take people are short.
I didn't expect that this kid could really catch treasure fish one after another.
What was in this bowl was not soup, but twenty taels of silver.
The favors are getting more and more, what can I do?
Sanshui, it seems we can only send you to go fishing and accept Ah Qi as our son. "
When Liang Sanshui heard this, he was so frightened that he trembled. He raised his head and glanced at his father, knowing that he was joking, so he breathed a sigh of relief:
“Dad, aren’t there several bundles of useless medicinal materials in the store’s warehouse?
It was originally prepared for me to practice, but it is useless to keep it now, so I might as well give it to Ah Qi. "
Liang Laoshi's eyelids drooped and he swallowed the hot fish soup in small mouthfuls:
"You are so generous, why don't you want to gain some energy while practicing kung fu!
Those medicinal materials cost less than half of your father's family and several hundred taels of silver!
The key to the warehouse is in your hand, you can do whatever you want, don't ask me.
It's best not to rush to give it, tempering strength can be done slowly, but not too hastily. "
Liang Sanshui chuckled, knowing that his father didn't explicitly object, so that would count as agreement.
"Dad, tell me, how talented is Ah Qi?"
Liang Laoshi smacked his mouth, as if he was still unsatisfied after drinking the fish soup:
"It takes probably a hundred people like you combined to compare to him."
Liang Sanshui was stunned and then smiled bitterly:
"What's this? I can't bear the hardships and endure the boring practice of boxing. I'm not as normal as Ah Qi."
Liang Laoshi raised his sparse eyebrows and said extremely seriously:
"You know a hammer! It's human nature to be weak-willed, find it hard to persevere, and want to give up when you don't see rewards!
Because of this, diligence, hard work, hard work, and tenacity are rare qualities and rare talents.
Choosing one out of a hundred is already an extremely outstanding talent! "
Liang Sanshui's expression was full of shock and joy:
"So powerful? Hey, Dad, why don't you accept Ah Qi as your godson? Anyway, he calls me 'Brother Shui', so there is no difference in seniority.
When he becomes prosperous in the future, I can still benefit from it. "
Liang Laoshi almost laughed angrily, waved his hand and said:
“Get away, you eyesore!
Ah Qi was buried under the background of a humble family.
It’s a little late to start practicing martial arts, so it’s best to start five or six years earlier.
Starting to lay the foundation at the age of twelve, maybe I can achieve the achievement of breaking through the second level! "
Liang Sanshui felt regretful and muttered:
"It's all fate, but fortunately Ah Qihun came forward.
The most rare thing is that he has grown up and knows how to repay kindness.
Just because Chang Shun, a fisherman from Datian Bay, once borrowed two bowls of rice.
He just wanted to show his kindness and helped to deal with Wang Lezi's blackmail.
The villagers clapped their hands and applauded him, calling him a righteous man. "
Liang Laoshi's weathered face couldn't help but soften:
"Ah Qi is a good boy, you can waive the commission from his stall in the future.
The amount that should be collected will be taken out of our shop.
To eat his two fishes and receive this filial piety, I have to do something practical. "
Liang Sanshui nodded in agreement.
In the backyard.
The father and son were speechless, no longer chatting, and both stared at Bai Qi who was standing still.
Suddenly, Liang Laoshi stood up and sat upright:
"It's done!"
I saw Bai Qi's naked upper body, and the large muscles in his arms, chest, back, waist and abdomen were shaking violently, as if they were extremely tense.
He exhaled a long breath of hot breath through his nose, which lasted for about fifty breaths.
Then the pores dilated and a large amount of sweat broke out instantly, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
“Refining internal strength and external strength is called maintaining health!
Only if you are as strong as iron can you get started!
Is this the true meaning of being strong in the golden elixir and wearing an iron shirt? ! "
