As night fell, a waist-thick wooden stake appeared in Li Guanqi's backyard.
Looking at the brand new wooden stake, Li Guanqi's lips curled up slightly.
Then he got into a stance and started punching.
There were constant banging sounds in the courtyard on the mountainside, and a little girl running around was also attracted by the sound.
Lying on the roof, he watched the young man carrying the stone box beating the boxing pile crazily.
With every punch, countless sawdust would fly up.
The tense body kept moving around.
Yu Suian was lying on the roof, his big eyes full of disbelief.
"This guy actually regarded the wooden stake in front of him as an imaginary enemy!"
"What an amazing...blind man."
"What is he carrying on his back..."
After the boxing, Li Guanqi, who was covered in sweat, was ready to get up, take a shower and rest.
He was still looking forward to the first lesson of joining the sect the next day.
And he also thought it was a good thing to become Li Nanting's disciple today.
At least in his perception, when the old man looked at him, his eyes were pure and without any malice.
Putting down the sword case, he submerged his whole body into the bathtub and took a comfortable bath.
However, the little girl on the roof slipped into the yard at some point.
Sneaking towards Li Guanqi's room.
Li Guanqi's ears twitched slightly, a smile appeared on his lips, and he ignored her.
Sudden!
"Ahhh! (ｷ｀ﾟДﾟ´)!!"
Bang!
"Help~"
Li Guanqi immediately pulled his clothes around him and rushed out the door.
As soon as he went out, he saw a small figure pressed under the sword box, with his hands exposed and waving randomly.
He was still muttering "Help~"
Li Guanqi quickly pulled up the sword box with one hand and pulled out the little girl underneath with the other hand.
The little girl's face was dark. She hadn't swallowed the bun in her mouth, nor had she dropped the bun in her hand.
Her small face like a porcelain doll wrinkled up and she spoke to Li Guanqi very solemnly.
"I was injured, you have to take responsibility!"
Li Guanqi laughed angrily at this little girl. She slipped in by herself, knocked over the sword box without permission, and smashed herself.
Now he is being held responsible.
However, just as Li Guanqi was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that the little girl's face was a little flushed.
He quickly knelt down to check, and said in a deep voice, "Does your chest hurt?"
Yu Suian's eyes were slightly red, big tears fell down, and he nodded.
Li Guanqi quickly comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay. Just don't move. I'll get dressed right away and take you to find someone."
Li Guanqi immediately went back to the room, put on his clothes, picked up the little girl and rushed out of the door.
He wants to go up the mountain to find his master!
He felt that when the sword box hit her just now, it happened to crush the little girl's ribs.
On the way, Li Guanqi was afraid that the little girl would be frightened, so he asked softly: "What's your name? I've seen you twice and I still don't know your name."
The little girl didn't feel the pain anymore, so she quickly took a bite of the bun to calm down her shock.
He said in a clear voice: "My name is Yu Suian, I am six years old."
Li Guanqi was slightly startled. He didn't expect that this little girl's name was quite nice.
Finally, Li Guanqi found Li Nanting who was still awake. After struggling for most of the night, the little girl fell asleep at Li Nanting's place.
Looking at the little girl sleeping soundly on Li Nanting, Li Guanqi asked curiously.
"Whose child is this little girl? I've seen her twice in the peak."
Li Nanting covered her with the quilt and patted her gently.
"The little bun is not someone's child. I picked it up when I went down the mountain three years ago."
"Picked it up?"
"Yes, I picked it up."
"Three years ago, there happened to be a famine in the northern territory of Daxia Jianzong."
"There has been two years of drought, and the farmers have had no harvest. I went over to prepare rain using magic spells."
"I saw a little girl squatting on the side of the road, and a starving woman was lying next to her."
"I brought her back and ate a hot meat bun on the way."
"To this day, I still remember the way the little girl looked up at me, her eyes were so bright."
“She told me it was the best thing she’d ever eaten!”
Li Guanqi listened silently to the old man's words about the little girl.
This made Li Guanqi think of himself in childhood.
It seems that they are not having a good life...
No wonder when he saw Yu Suian twice, he always saw a bun in her hand.
It turns out that her past was also so ill-fated.
The old man looked at Li Guanqi and said softly: "Why do I feel like you have so much empathy?"
A bitter smile appeared on Li Guanqi's lips, he looked up at the night sky and whispered softly.
"Well... I used to take my sister's pension and ten copper coins to cremate my sister."
"After returning home, I personally hacked to death my distant uncle who was addicted to gambling and caused my mother to become seriously ill and die."
"It was snowing all over the sky. I picked up two steamed buns on the way home carrying my sister's ashes."
"The steamed buns were hard and sour, but to me at that time, they were nothing short of delicacies in the world."
"It was also on that day that I went to the cremation shop twice."
Li Guanqi told this softly, his voice calm and without any fluctuations.
But the old man looked at the young man's eyes full of distress, stretched out his other hand and put his arm around the young man's shoulder and whispered softly.
"It's okay, everything is over. From now on, you will treat your master and brothers as your relatives, and Tianlei Peak will be your home."
An old man and two children sitting in the yard look particularly harmonious.
Early the next morning, Li Guanqi woke up from a strange bed. When he woke up, he found that he had fallen asleep lying on the old man's shoulder in a daze yesterday.
At this moment, he actually slept directly in Li Nanting's room.
At this time, there were at least two hours before dawn, and the old man was sitting on the futon practicing.
Li Guanqi then stood up, cleaned up briefly, and then started boxing in the backyard.
Every punch and kick was struck very seriously, with a gust of wind.
I don't know when the old man stood outside the door and watched quietly, nodding slightly.
Li Guanqi has been practicing this set of boxing for eight years, and the subtle changes in each punch are under his control.
It is precisely because of so many years of non-stop boxing and walking that he has perfect control over every muscle in his body.
When Li Guanqi turned around after punching, he found the old man behind him and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
Then the old man personally punched Li Guanqi again with the punch he just punched.
A complete set of basic boxing techniques can be mastered with ease and smoothness.
This also gave Li Guanqi a lot of inspiration.
Seeing him looking deep in thought, the old man smiled and said, "Okay, if you think about these things, you'll know the key."
"If you don't rush to Tianshui Peak now, I'm afraid you'll be late."
"Lan He doesn't like people who are late the most."
Only then did Li Guanqi notice that the sky was getting brighter, and he quickly went to clean up.
Before going out, he did not forget to come to Li Nanting and say hello: "Master, this disciple is going out now."
"Hahaha, okay, okay, go quickly."
