Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, early development is the main thing. Even if you want to make friends with heroes, but your age is there, if you are not careful about the butterfly effect and the situation changes in the future, your eyes will be in vain that day.
Looking at a group of brats playing around, let’s start from the side. There are many people in the three villages. The three sons of the Zhu family and the brothers and sisters of the Hu family still have room for maneuver.
I was a little puzzled when I saw the little strong kid holding a stick by the river and chasing other people around.
In the plot of the original book, only Li Ying and the housekeeper Du Xing have some writing in Lijiazhuang. I haven't heard of two younger brothers and one younger sister. It's strange to say that the brothers and sisters are about the same age and share the same mother. Maybe there was no concept of confinement in ancient times, or my father was a pile driver.
Because the waiting time for the younger brothers and sisters is very short, which is very strange, outsiders hold some myths about it, such as the weird story about three years of pregnancy.
Because the second brother Li Fei was born not long after him, he was only a few months younger. He was more than five years old. Because he was strong and the family was soaked in medicinal wine, he usually liked to fight everywhere. Unfortunately, he didn’t have a famous teacher to guide him. He always watched his father. And the dealers' airs, copycats and imitates tigers by oneself.
The third brother, Li Jing, was born shortly after. He may be almost five years old. He is relatively quiet. He looked like a girl when he was born, so he was named after him. He may be too young to be active. He didn't come out today. He was always nearby when he was studying scriptures and reciting history. Maybe Subtly, Li Jing became unable to let go of the book.
The fourth sister, Li Shaer, must be four years old. Although she was only about one year old at the time, she still had memories.
Because it was the Chinese New Year, it was snowing and it was getting late. The old man at home, braving the white sand wind, was very excited when he came home and heard that his wife had given birth.
Immediately he chanted "Chai Men hears the baby barking, returning home on a snowy night", and the servants at home shouted with sharp eyes, congratulating Yuan Wai on the birth of his beloved daughter, who is so talented.
I don't know if he is talented or not, but Ying Bao is indeed too much. This song "The Master of Furong Mountain",
The sun sets and the mountains are far away,
The weather is cold and the house is poor.
Chaimen hears dogs barking,
Returning on a snowy night.
It was written by Liu Changqing in the Tang Dynasty. Maybe the coffin board could no longer hold its weight.
It seems that there is a reason why Fourth Sister loves to eat.
Following Li Pei was Zhu Biao, one of the three sons of the Zhu family. Yes, that's right, the one who stabbed someone in the back.
This little brat, I don't know if it's fate, but he didn't like it at first sight, so he refused to accept the request and challenged him to a fight, which was exactly what he wanted. He didn't even try to make him docile, but now he's doing it one by one.
His two brothers didn't come today. I heard that they were taken to Daming Mansion to learn how to do business. No wonder the Zhu family was the strongest in Sanzhuang before, and they started to think about abacus since they were young.
The one who was running in embarrassment was nicknamed Flying Tiger Hu Cheng, and his sister Yi Zhang Qing Hu Sanniang, I don’t know the specific names, but everyone called them that.
The Heiwazi with his trousers rolled up in the river is his cousin Li Hei from the side branch. Heiwazi is usually called Heiwazi, which fits the image, so no one calls him by his famous name. He is as honest and kind as his father. Besides farming, he also cultivates the land. I don’t know how many laborers have been cheated. I have the strength, so I asked him to come over and be a playmate for the book boy.
What? Why does the bookboy require strength? That is of course because Young Master Li loves to exercise while studying, and lifts barbells and heavy hammers. This is reasonable. It is also not good to throw heavy objects on the ground casually and hit flowers and plants.
A group of little kids are now at ease, their running figures are gradually blurring, their eyelids can't help drooping, and they can't help but feel sleepy. Thinking of the cakes they had for lunch is boring, so it's better to put some of Mr. Pei's "Survival in the Wilderness" in your mind, and the primitive rawness of drinking blood. , which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
After a long time, "Big pot, big pot, there is an old man behind it." A childish voice sounded in my ears.
Youyou sat up, Li Ying shook his head and tried to wake up, "I told you to be polite, as I taught you, call me grandpa."
"Oh, I know." The girl whispered, "That's what they call Erguo."
Looking back subconsciously, there was indeed an old man who had happened in black and white approaching.
He looks only in his fifties or sixties. He is energetic and capable. He is carrying a long pole on his back. He should be a practitioner. He has good eyesight, but he can't help it. He can clearly see that his lips are dry, but his eyes are still sharp.
I looked back and touched the braid of my fourth sister. She was still silly and playing in the mud at the age of five. In ancient times, she was young and matured precociously. It seemed that she was divided into different families. The children of the poor became the head of the family early, and the children of the rich were crowned babies.
Not long after, the old man arrived under the tree. He glanced at the children playing by the stream in the distance, and then looked at the young man sitting under the tree. His body shape at least looked like that of a young man, more than a tall boy.
The old man smiled and said, "Brother, please give me a drink."
If you want to be in line with the character of a businessman, specify the opening of the mouth, three coins a mouth, five coins two mouths, but it is better to do less than to do more. Throw the cowhide water bag at hand.
The old man may have been thirsty for a long time, and he drank several mouthfuls.
"Ah, it's comfortable. This water is so refreshing, hahaha." The old man couldn't help but laugh.
Wouldn’t it be nice to drink ice water in summer? Still, the special iced coke, even the kids said it was good after drinking it.
"Brother, how did you make this water? It's sweet yet cool, cool yet breathy. I've never drunk this water before."
"Exclusive secret recipe, old man, it's better to drink less in the summer, it's not good for your health."
"Hahaha, you little brat, I'm afraid I'll give you money if I finish drinking for you." As he said this, he touched his body, his sleeves were empty, and he touched his head and smiled awkwardly but still gracefully.
"I've spent all my money on the road, and I can't even afford the wine. Let's see how you look at your bones. I'm a unique martial arts prodigy. I'll accept you as my disciple today. Give me this bag of water."
Why is this scene so familiar? Is the liar's speaking skills irrespective of dynasty? It is the best in ancient and modern times.
"Senior, just drink it. It's just a hot or cold drink. It's easy for yin and yang to conflict, causing headaches..." Before he could finish his words.
"Then I'm welcome." The old man took a few sips of iced Coke, and soon his water bag was deflated.
He let out a big burp, and after a while he touched his head and squatted down.
"Ouch, why does my head hurt so much?" The man looked at the water bag and then at Li Ying. Could it be that this little brat poisoned him?
"Senior, you'll be fine in a moment."
Sure enough, after a while, the pain disappeared. It was strange. He stood up and clasped his fists. He seemed to be apologizing for the misunderstanding. "You know how to heal?"
"I understand a little bit." Even if it is not common sense to drink ice water during strenuous exercise, I have deep experience with it. When my legs and feet are still strong, drinking a bottle of iced Coke after playing basketball is not something that can be compared to outsiders.
"What I just said still stands. I would like to worship you as my teacher. I have no special talents, only martial arts, and I have a small reputation in the world."
"I wonder what your surname is, senior?"
"It's free of charge, Zhou Tong is the one."
Li Ying's pupils shrank, what do you call a small reputation? The famous Shaanxi hero Iron Arm Zhou Tong is unknown to everyone.
His eldest disciple Lu Junyi, second disciple Lin Chong, third disciple Shi Wengong, close disciple Yue Fei, Wu Song and Lu Zhishen are registered disciples, and Luan Tingyu and Sun Li also have their inheritance.
He is proficient in all kinds of martial arts. He has served in the army, taught the emperor, and been a boxer. He can teach all kinds of things. As long as he is eager to learn, he can give some advice even if his qualifications are mediocre. Therefore, he has a great reputation and is highly respected in the world. .
It is said that Zhou Tong's master was Jin Tai who could not punch Jin Zhong. Jin Tai's master was Shaolin sect master Tan Zongfang.
For such a great person, if you don't seize the opportunity, you will be sorry to the thief. I recite it silently every day and wish the thief a happy life.
He stood up, tossed his robe, bowed, propped himself up on the ground, kowtowed, all in one smooth motion without any sloppiness, "Master is here, please accept my disciple's bow."
The movements were neat, the prostrations were standard, and the old man was speechless.
You kid, you looked like you were a liar just now, but your attitude changed instantly after hearing my name. Could it be that I am really so famous, even a country boy can know that.
"You're very happy, kid." After saying that, he went to help him up, "Good disciple, get up quickly. Today's etiquette is simple. I don't know where your home is, but I am already empty in my belly as a teacher."
"Master, wait a minute. I have a few companions by the stream. I will ask my little sister to call them and we will go back together."
"good."
"Fourth sister, go call your second brother."
The little girl jumped up and ran over there.
"Master, my disciple's surname is Li Mingying. He is from Lijiazhuang, Dulonggang. He is six years old this year."
"Oh, it looks like there are already one or two out of ten." In fact, Zhou Tong wanted to say that it was because of his young age. After all, Li Ying looked really mature, and few people would regard him as a child at first glance.
"That's what they say, it's just that they grow up fast." Li Ying rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile.
A proper child's temperament can bring a good impression to others.
"You are indeed in good health. Fortunately, you have not missed the best age for practicing martial arts."
After a while, a group of little kids gathered over.
"Brother, who is this old man? I heard from my little sister that you have become a disciple?" A tiger-headed boy started talking before he even got close to his voice.
"It's over. If Brother Ying learns martial arts, we won't be able to defeat him." When he got closer, another strong boy cried out in a mournful voice.
"Li Pei, Zhu Biao, what are you two yelling about?"
"Brother, you really want to become a disciple. I want to learn even if I don't care. I just don't know how well this old man can teach me." Li Fei looked shameless and mischievous.
"How do you say it? Call me Master. And it depends on whether Master wants you or not. You chose it."
Li Fei touched the back of his head and looked at Zhou Tong, his posture pitiful again.
"There are quite a few named disciples of a certain person." He went over and touched Li Hui's arm. "You kid, although your qualifications are not as good as your brother's, you are still a bad martial arts practitioner." Li Hui kept moving his arms, but he couldn't move them. .
Zhou Tong then turned to look at Zhu Biao aside, "This kid can do it too. The rest of the kids want to learn, and I don't have any secrets. It's up to you how much you can learn." Fu Xu smiled.
"Master, Master, I want to learn too." A black kid behind him was holding a big fish that was almost as tall as himself. Before he could run over, he started shouting. He accidentally fell down and quickly caught another fish. went.
"Master, this is my second brother, Li Fei, and the other is the third brother of Zhujiazhuang, Zhu Biao."
"Oh, who was that holding the fish just now?"
"That's Hei Wazi, and he's also my cousin, Li Hei."
"Yes, yes, they are all good seeds."
The clear voice of a lark nearby sounded, "Grandpa, can I also learn?"
It looked like there was a little girl in a red shirt standing behind a boy. She looked sweet and had a bit of a girlish look between her eyebrows.
"Master, these two are from Hujiazhuang, Hu Cheng and Hu Sanniang."
"Well, it's all good. My good disciple, let's go back quickly. This worm is screaming a lot."
"Grandpa, you are just hungry. My stomach is also growling. My eldest brother told us that there are only roundworms in my stomach, not stomach worms." The fourth sister of the Li family said matter-of-factly.
"Master, my sister Lao Si, Li Sha'er, you don't have ordinary knowledge."
"With a certain temper, it can't be like this, it can't be like this, haha, let's go."
Everyone walked towards the main road, and there were three boys waiting by the roadside, as well as a big yellow horse.
Li Ying walked over to lead the horse and said, "Master, mount the horse."
"Well, the hair is smooth and the limbs are coordinated. It is a good horse. You're welcome." Zhou Tong jumped on the horse with a slight jump. Not to mention how standard the movements are, it is much more elegant than climbing up by yourself. It seems that equestrian skills are also divided into contact classes. There is indeed a gap in knowledge between people who have been in the palace and ordinary people in the countryside.
"Disciple, are you going on an outing in the summer?" Zhou Tong asked. A group of children, with three boys, were out for an outing.
"Yes, Master. It's good for your health to come out and bask in the sun in the summer. I wonder where Master is planning to go."
"I was walking around and originally wanted to go to Tangyin County. It seems I have to stay at your village for a while."
Tangyin County should be Yue Fei's hometown. It seems that there are no apprentices yet, which means that he will be Yue Fei's senior brother. How wonderful.
"By the way, disciple, do you still have the cold water you just had?"
"Master, are you talking about Coke? I still have it here." Li Fei took out a water bag from somewhere and threw it over.
"Oh, how is this Coke made? It tastes sweet, a sense of satisfaction, refreshing taste, and endless aftertaste." Zhou Tong took a sip and burped, "It's just a bit gassy."
"Haha, master, our eldest brother invented this. It's called Laoshizi drink, named after Coke." Li Hui on the side interjected, still using a fire to bake his trousers. It seemed that he accidentally stepped in a puddle just now.
Li Ying smiled and said, "It's just a weird and clever trick."
"Coke, Coke, Coca-Cola is worthy of its name, and it can be regarded as a way to make money." Zhou Tong took a sip to taste it.
"Production is cumbersome and the scale is not large enough to sell. It's okay to be self-sufficient." Li Ying smiled bitterly.
Although I am a liberal arts student, I still have some knowledge in chemistry.
Ice Coke, the homemade version, is not difficult to say. The most important things are ice cubes, coriander, lemon and baking soda. Coriander and lemon were introduced by Zhang Qian in the Han Dynasty.
However, coriander was first called courgette, and lemon was first called lemon. It was probably not until the Song Dynasty that hybrid cultivation was successful.
Baking soda is more troublesome. It can be made by the soda ash method, metathesis method, or trona method, and finally you can get sodium bicarbonate crystals. As for ice, the salt water ice method has a long history.
"That's right, Shang Xiaodao'er, if you don't take it with you in life or death, you should polish your body and practice martial arts diligently, so that you can use it for yourself for the rest of your life." Zhou Tong said.
"Okay Master."
With that said, the group of people slowly hurried home and didn't separate until they reached a fork in the road.
"Brother Ying, let's go back first." Hu Cheng said.
"Okay, be careful on the road. Zhu Biao, you kid too," Li Ying said.
"I know, Brother Ying." He waved goodbye.
Looking at the figures of several people walking away, Li Ying's eyes shone with inexplicable light. Since ancient times, only with a population can one have the capital to do anything. The identity at the beginning is indeed important and can save a lot of costs.
