Hehe! Hehe!
Autumn is here, and the autumn mood is biting.
The moon that had hung all night had not had time to fall, and the cold air mixed with morning mist entered the nasal cavity, which made people feel uncomfortable.
In the martial arts arena, some people were carrying stones to activate their qi and blood, some were practicing boxing and beating their muscles, while others were chatting and laughing after training, applying essential oils, and kneading their muscles.
Lin Mo was naked to the waist, squinting his eyes slightly, practicing his boxing skills on the wooden dummy. His figure was as fast as lightning, and his movements were erratic. Sometimes he would fly and strike with his palms, sometimes he would kick branches and punch hard. From time to time, he could hear a sound. There was a loud popping sound, leaving indentations one after another on the wooden piles.
Bang bang bang, applause.
"After six punches, it's already halfway through. You are stronger than yesterday."
Behind Lin Mo, Li Yuan crossed his arms and stepped forward with a smile.
"So you've made progress again? I won't be the only one left to suffer and become an old scholar, right?" Shen Che, who was slumped on the ground, suddenly jumped up from the ground, picked up the bunt on the ground, and said with a frown.
"As long as you are serious, with the tonic your father left for you, you can only speak at the level of three rings?" Li Yuanze snorted angrily.
Li Yuanze was really convinced of Shen Che.
The two of them had known each other since childhood because of their father's relationship. Shen Che's father was also a pharmacist in white shirt, but a research pharmacist.
Relying on his family connections, Shen Che frequently obtained good things like essential oils for body refining, such as ginseng pills, sesame paste, and the like. Even he and Lin Mo had a lot of money, but no matter how much resources they had, they couldn't. People are lazy.
After three days of fishing and two days of drying the net, with a lot of resources pouring in, he only punched three times. After a few days, the martial arts judge said that he could bear four or five punches. He came from a poor family and had a strong character and good talent. Lin Mo is like a sky and an earth.
Speaking of Lin Mo, Li Yuanze had to admire his perseverance. He was the first to come and the last to leave. He practiced until he was exhausted every time.
This is also the reason why he only came into contact with Lin Mo as Shen Che, and gradually the relationship between the two became better and better.
After all, good people always attract each other.
Thinking of this, Li Yuanze looked at Lin Mo with more appreciation.
"That's not enough. I heard that Song Mingyu punched nine times?" Lin Mo shook his head, put on his shirt and said casually.
"That guy is indeed smart, but he's not a good person."
Shen Che curled his lips slightly, as if he wasn't cold, and took out two vials from his pocket, one for each of Lin Mo and Li Yuan.
"That boy is very bad. I saw him running to Manchun Court more than once. He is not afraid of being sucked dry at such a young age."
Song Mingyu is also an apprentice in this batch. He is similar to Lin Mo. He comes from a poor family, but he is very talented. A few days ago, there was news that he punched for nine times. He punched seven times, and now such a genius appeared.
What's more, everyone knows that his family background is poor, which means that he has to rely on himself to cultivate all the way. Once the resources are sufficient, the cultivation speed may be improved by several levels. A proper thirty years in Hedong, and a ruthless character in Hexi for thirty years. .
Therefore, many people want to form a good relationship and socialize in restaurants and brothels every day.
As a young man from a poor family with outstanding talents, Lin Mo received many invitations, but he didn't accept many invitations. At most, he ate and chatted with Shen Che and Li Yuan.
It's not that Liu Xiahui is sitting still and pregnant. She is still young, looks a little plump, and has good looks. A good family would salute slightly to show respect, but under the current conditions, it is really inconvenient to go to the female ticket.
After all, I don’t have any money, so I don’t have a hard time walking.
"You are very lenient. If you have this spare time, how about a few more punches? Isn't it better than anything else?"
Li Yuanze took the vial and found that it contained a ginseng pill. He stuffed it into his arms unceremoniously and lectured.
"If I don't practice, I don't have that talent. No matter how much I practice, it will be just like that. I won't be able to practice martial arts like you in this life. I can only rely on delivering medicine everywhere and hugging my thighs to barely maintain my future life." Shen Che shook his head and laughed. road.
My family understands their own affairs, do you think he is lazy? It’s just that the talent is really poor. One day, when you go home and practice until you are exhausted?
Since he can't eat this bowl of rice, he will find another bowl of rice to eat. It happens that his talent is just like his father's, and he is good at medicine. It is better to be a medicine man and make good friends.
Lin Mo and Li Yuanze were the candidates he selected. They were not bad in talent and had a persevering personality. They were the most suitable people to be friends with.
Lin Mo also shook his head, not embarrassed, and put the ginseng pills into his pocket.
The disadvantages of his natural supernatural power began to appear, one of which was his large appetite, which was several times larger than before.
This ginseng pill is so good, one pill can last for several meals.
"By the way, I heard that the Huangtian Sect is preaching in the next county. It is estimated that they will come to our place in a few days. Will you go and see it then?" Shen Che suddenly said as if something suddenly occurred to him, watching with interest. Lin Mo and Li Yuanze were two people.
"The sky is dead, Huang Tian is here to stand, and if you live in Jiazi, the world will be auspicious! This is what the headmaster of Huang Tian Sect knows from the prophecies of heaven. Not to mention it, it sounds very domineering."
Shen Che said while gesticulating.
Huangtian Sect is a new folk sect that has emerged in recent years. It is both righteous and evil, somewhat similar to the White Lotus Sect and Black Buddhism in the south.
Although it was founded not long ago, there are many believers. Especially after the leader of the Huangtian Sect raised dragons in the Taizhou River, curbed floods, and saved tens of millions of people on both sides of the Taihuai River, its momentum reached its peak.
"Do the government forces here just ignore it? Are they allowed to openly allow such a sect to spread their faith?"
Lin Mo had naturally heard of some of them, and it was not surprising that during disaster years, people's lives became more difficult, and the spiritual world needed more sustenance, which provided the soil for similar religions to prosper and grow.
However, the growth of divine power will inevitably affect the monarchy, so there will never be a time when people in power will look good on religion.
Therefore, I was a little surprised when I heard that Huang Tianjiao was going to preach here, but the government didn't say anything about it.
"How to deal with this? It's a foregone conclusion that the Great Zhou Dynasty has been exhausted. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of followers of the Huangtian Sect in Taizhou, even with the leader who captured the dragon alive, who is willing to break up now? What's more, the Huangtian Sect is not like White Lotus Sect, black Buddhism and other evil sects." Li Yuanze saw it through, and explained casually,
"By the way, why don't we go have dinner together later, Zuixianglou? I heard there are a lot of new dishes served there."
Li Yuan suggested.
Shen Che naturally nodded in agreement. He was fun-loving and especially fond of food.
Lin Mo shook his head, "I have something to do. My parents are going home tonight and I have to go home for dinner."
On weekdays, he would naturally go. Unfortunately, Father Lin and Mother Lin were away doing business with the caravan. They were on vacation at the end of every month. They happened to return home today. The family was reunited after a long time, so naturally he would not be absent.
After getting along for so long, we naturally understand each other's situation a little bit. The world is huge and family is the biggest. Of course, we can't force this kind of thing.
"If you don't go, I won't go. The worst we can do is eat together tomorrow, Xiaomozi. But let me tell you, uncle and aunt are just ordinary people. It's really not appropriate to go out for business at this time. If it doesn't work, let's help introduce some leisure errands in the city, and then borrow Do you want some money to move somewhere so you can practice martial arts in peace?"
Li Yuanze also said nothing, but nodded in agreement.
The two of them knew about Lin Mo's affairs, including the landlord Aunt Wang and the honest butcher Deng who had been married for three times, so they suggested.
Naturally, their family background is not among the best in Ningyang, but as white-shirted pharmacists at Xu's Pharmacy, it is not an exaggeration to say they are middle class. Coupled with decades of hard work, it seems difficult to outsiders. , but there are many solutions.
Lin Mo thought for a moment. He was not a stickler for old times and had a ridiculously high self-esteem. After thinking for a moment, he realized that this was the best choice. He nodded solemnly and said, "I won't thank you for your kindness. I will go home and discuss it with my family."
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Lin Mo, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, Shen Che regretted saying it. He was mainly worried that it would be mistaken for charity. After all, most people from poor families have a small family spirit. This has nothing to do with themselves, but is just due to the environment in which they were raised, or When you succeed, you will be arrogant, either afraid of your hands or feet, afraid of this or that.
Fortunately, Lin Mo didn't think much about it.
"Thank you. I'm taking care of you now, and I'm waiting for you to protect me in the future. This is called investment!" Shen Che smiled happily, stood up on tiptoes and patted Lin Mo's shoulder.
Li Yuanze looked at Lin Mo, who was now half a head taller than him, with a complicated expression, "You don't need to thank me, as long as you are willing to tell me the secret of your growing so tall in private."
God knows, Lin Mo, who was shorter than himself half a month ago, at over 1.6 meters, has grown to over 1.8 meters in such a short time! Moreover, his figure was getting bigger and bigger, with a shaved head, and he stood there with an expressionless face, like a mountain.
Speaking of this, Shen Che smiled and stopped laughing. He raised his head at 45 degrees and looked at Lin Mo. He had been playing without realizing it, but was suddenly reminded that he was the shortest one.
The air felt awkward for a moment. After a while, the three of them looked at each other and laughed.
