In the following days…
Liu Shen was lying in his room recovering from his injuries.
Originally, he was quite yearning for a life where he could be taken care of when he was eating and drinking. He even thought about it. What if a charming woman came in with medicine in her hand and softly called out, "Da Lang, it's time to drink medicine." ', how should I deal with it then...
But the reality is cruel...
When Liu Shen saw several bad men helping him to get up and drink the medicine, or feeding him with rice, Liu Shen suddenly wondered why he was so guilty.
Especially when he saw some bad old men staring at him with uncle's smiles on his face, his lips slurping as if it was more bitter than eating Coptis chinensis...
But Liu Shen also knew that there were not many women in the Qingsha Gang, and there were no women at all at the dock except for a few cooking ladies in the canteen.
And those bad men came with good intentions, so he never had the nerve to say the words in his heart, "I want a woman to serve me"...
It wasn't until the third day that he could get out of bed on his own and find the strength to eat by himself, that he was finally out of the sea of suffering.
Regardless of whether it was Ning Hongwu or Yuan Xiaofei who came to visit on behalf of Pei Xueyan, every time he came to visit, he would ask people to bring large and small bags of rare medicines to treat internal and external injuries.
There are countless supplements such as replenishing qi and blood, stimulating menstruation and promoting blood circulation, nourishing yin and nourishing yang...
Liu Shen even found a few tonics in it that made men eat the essence of dragons and tigers, and women took the gentle and watery tonic...
It's really strange.
In the past few days, Ning Sanniang would often visit him and use her true energy to help him regulate his internal energy and help him recover from his injuries.
However, she was not in a hurry to become a teacher and recruit a disciple. Instead, she made insinuations about Liu Shen's past and experience...
For example, I asked, "Has your body been so strong since you were a child?"
When did you start practicing martial arts?
Which family's internal strength is it that you practice?
How did you get acquainted with the young lady of the Song family?
Liu Shen didn't understand what he meant, so he answered honestly. He had been physically strong since he was a child, and it was precisely because of this that he was promoted to Caobang rice in the year of disaster...
He didn't hide much about when he started practicing martial arts. He had been practicing for only half a year.
It was the inner strength of cultivation. It was hard for him to say that he was practicing "Tongzi Kung", which made him feel awkward just by hearing the name. He only fooled him by saying that he borrowed a book of health-preserving skills from the young lady of the Song family.
"Tong Zi Kung" has no killing power, and it is somewhere between internal power and health-preserving power, so it is not a lie for him to say this...
As for his relationship with Pei Xueyan, he considered that Mr. Song had just left, and as Ning Sanniang was a woman, she was not like Feng Jun, a brother who could brag and spank as much as he wanted, so he could not say that he had a relationship with Pei Xueyan. We have been dating for many years, and we are just good friends.
And after Ning Sanniang found out this 'information', her attitude towards Liu Shen naturally became more kind...
In the world of martial arts, accepting a disciple as a master is a big deal, especially since the Huayang Mountain lineage has a special tradition. The 'disciple' she accepted as a master has a huge cause and effect with herself, so she cannot help but be cautious.
I heard that Liu Shen's body has been so strong since he was a child, and that he just got a book of health-preserving exercises half a year ago, and now he has reached the second level. In addition, what the old doctor in the medical clinic said and what she saw with her own eyes Characteristics, she was certain that Liu Shen was the innate pure Yang body mentioned by her master!
And Liu Shen has worked at the dock for five years. Whether it is his personality or his character, he can get it with just a little inquiry, so he knows everything about him...
The most important thing is that Liu Shen is only eighteen years old now. Although he has a widowed 'friend' with whom he seems to have an unusual relationship, he has not yet married!
At that time, people valued etiquette, and as long as they had not yet started a family, those messy relationships between men and women would not be brought to the fore!
In the room…
After Liu Shen roughly told the cause and effect between himself, Pei Xueyan, and Mr. Song, he looked at the second master next to him with wide eyes.
Although Ning Sanniang looked at him, her expression was in a daze, and it was obvious that her thoughts had flown to nowhere...
'Looking upright, physically strong, well-informed, well-connected, young, smart, good character, and agreeing with the master's conditions for choosing an apprentice, the key is that he hasn't gotten married yet! '
'This...this...except that there is no emotional basis, this is simply the love brother in my dreams...'
Thinking of this, Ning Sanniang's heart jumped inexplicably, and she felt more and more that the 'conditional method' mentioned by the master was really wonderful...
"Second boss?"
Seeing that she was absent-minded, Liu Shen waved his hand in front of her and asked with a frown: "Second Master, are you okay?"
"No, no, no..."
Ning Sanniang came back to her senses and saw that Liu Shen was still caring about her. The more she looked at her, the more pleasing she became. Unknowingly, there was a faint smile on her lips...
"The second master must have something on his mind!"
Liu Shen shook his head and said very firmly: "I don't know about other places, but in the past few days, the second master has often been distracted when I am here, but I don't know why?"
His voice paused and he said seriously: "The second master has saved me from fire and water many times. If I, Liu Shen, can be of any use, the second master can speak out!"
"Ha~"
Ning Sanniang smiled secretly, raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't tell me, I really need your help to solve an annoying problem."
"..."
Liu Shen was slightly startled when he heard this, then returned to his senses and raised his hands with a straight face, and responded: "Second Master can speak out as much as he wants, and I will never say anything about anything within Liu's power!"
"Don't, don't, don't..."
Ning Sanniang smiled and waved her hand, casually pulled a bench for him to sit down, and joked: "With your expression, people who don't know would think I want you to die."
"..."
Hearing this, Liu Shen sat down awkwardly. He didn't know how to answer her words for a moment. He just said, "But I don't know what the second master's orders are?"
"It's not even about giving orders..."
Ning Sanniang pondered for a while and said: "You also know that in my early years, I was taken in by a stranger to practice martial arts. Our lineage is called Huayang Mountain, and each generation needs to accept two disciples..."
"When Huayang Mountain was passed down to my generation, I am the only disciple so far, which is not in line with tradition..."
"Master, although he intends to choose a disciple, he has been traveling abroad due to some things in recent years, which has delayed the selection of a disciple."
"Master passed by this place a few days ago. He took a look at me and asked me to choose a disciple on my behalf. I should accept a male disciple who has good martial arts talent and good character."
"I've been thinking about it these past few days, but I haven't found a suitable candidate. I just happened to meet you..."
"Your boy has a good physique and a good talent in martial arts. He is very consistent with the conditions for selecting a disciple that Master told us. It just so happens that you are a member of our Qingsha Gang and you know the basics."
Ning Sanniang looked at the confused look and asked with a smile: "I intend to accept a disciple on my behalf as a master. I will accept you into our Huayang Mountain lineage as my junior brother and teach you the wonderful method. What do you think?"
"Ah, this..."
Liu Shen pointed at himself and asked with disbelief on his face: "Huayang Mountain only accepts two disciples per generation. The second master is one, and there is still one vacancy. Now the second master has to choose disciples on behalf of his master. If he wants to accept one, Do I start as another person?"
"right!"
"You still want to teach me my magic method?"
"good!"
Ning Sanniang nodded slightly and said seriously: "The cultivation method of our Huayang Mountain lineage is quite special. Whether we are choosing disciples or fellow disciples, we all value the method of fate."
She paused and asked pointedly: "I heard from Feng Jun that you fled here five years ago and stole a red-skinned duck while the servants in Zuifeng Tower were preparing a banquet. It’s because of this red-skinned duck that you decided to join the Cao Gang as a porter, isn’t it?”
"yes!"
Liu Shen was told about embarrassing things in the past, but he did not show any embarrassment. He only responded calmly: "I heard from Hall Master Feng that the banquet prepared by the young servant is the reception banquet of the second master?"
"right!"
Ning Sanniang nodded and responded: "The red-skinned duck thing is the first fate; the night when the Qingsha Gang attacked the Chishui Gang is the second fate; you were seriously injured in the past few days, and you need the innate protection of martial arts, and I happened to be in the gang because I was troubled by the matter of choosing a disciple for my master, this is the third reason!"
As she said that, she smiled and said: "Not only do you match the conditions for selecting an apprentice that Master told me about, but you are also very destined to me, right?"
"..."
Liu Shen looked a little dazed after hearing this...
His life was changed because of that red-skinned duck. Later, he survived from death at the dock, and now he is recovering from serious injuries...
When he thought about it carefully, it seemed that the important decisions in his life and the two life and death situations were all related to Ning Sanniang!
It's really fate...
"That's it for now."
Ning Sanniang saw that he was frowning and seemed to be thinking about something, so she asked seriously: "Do you seem to have any other concerns?"
"No no…"
"Then, will you accept my offer of being a sibling to Ning Sanniang or not?"
"..."
Liu Shen blinked his eyes and pretended to be at a loss as he said: "What do you mean by being in the same class, what do you think you can't accept? Senior sister, what you said is too harsh..."
