Cold dew means cold weather, late autumn, early winter and late winter.
In Lijiazhuang, the sun appeared in the afternoon for the first time in a long time, and the yellow dog in the yard squinted its eyes in the sun.
The yard was very large, with rockeries, clear lakes, and a few old trees. There were stone tables under the shade. An old man and a young man came over and looked at the young man who was doing strange postures.
"Ying'er, you still have to follow the path of a foreigner!" The old man was Zhou Tong. He couldn't help but sigh, but there was nothing he could do about this strange posture. These movements of his own apprentice can indeed exercise all parts of the body very well. Recklessly.
The young man was breathing heavily and was doing push-ups with a big stone mill on his back. "Ninety-nine, one hundred, master, since we have this condition, it would be a waste not to use it. It will just take more time."
"In the past, there were more outsiders, who were poor in literature and rich in martial arts. The cultivation of internal skills not only required talent, but also took a long time and was not powerful enough.
However, there have been changes in recent years. For some reason, more and more people are practicing internal force. Internal force is Qi. It seems to have some kind of connection with heaven and earth, and the speed of practice has become faster. "Zhou Tong shook his head and the gourd. It seemed that it was empty.
"Oh, there is another saying. I do feel that the inner strength has been practiced for too long, and the results are slow." Li Ying answered easily, "But I haven't given up on the running skills, and I will wait for them to accumulate over time."
Zhou Tong couldn't help but think, it seems that this kid is eager to improve his strength. If so, let him go. After all, the talent is here. Once the technique is explained once, he will understand it. He only needs to accumulate internal strength and become a great master in the future. .
"Okay, as long as you have plans, the master will lead you in. Let's see how you practice. I'll go get some wine." After saying that, he took the gourd and walked out, thinking about whether to go to the town on the left or the county on the right, humming a little tune. Then he disappeared.
It's really easy for me to be a teacher. That's because I don't need to teach too much. There were few masters like Zhou Tong in ancient times.
There is no secret in his martial arts inheritance. He teaches whatever he wants to learn. This is second to none. He does not deliberately shape the future path, nor does he teach solely based on the apprentice's personal preferences. He simply lays the foundation for future martial arts development.
If you teach your disciples everything you know, what's the difference between it and copying a master?
You only need to give the apprentice a drawing board and paint, and teach them how to use it. How to be colorful and unimaginative depends entirely on their own talent and hard work.
After a few more sets of sit-ups, I took off my shirt, and my fair-skinned arms were already bulging muscles. My standard, perfect abdominal muscles were slightly bronzed in the sun. They were full of mechanical beauty as they went up and down, which made me look stoned. The girl at the table blushed in embarrassment.
I probably did a few more sets, and I was sweating a little.
"Brother Ying, why don't you take a rest." Although the girl was slightly red, she was not so coquettish and approached with a towel.
"Sanniang, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you were there just now. Is your brother here?" Li Ying stood up, looking slightly embarrassed.
"No, I'm just here. I want to ask Master Zhou some questions." He handed over the towel to Li Ying to wipe his sweat, and the latter did not refuse.
"Sanniang, Sanniang, oh, the big pot is here too." As soon as Li Sha finished shouting, she turned around and prepared to run away.
"Where to go? Come back."
Li Sha turned around mechanically, "Hey, Big Pot, I'm going to play with Sanniang. Let's go play hide-and-seek with Sanniang. Second brother, third brother, Hei Wazi, and Zhu Biao are also here."
Although he usually doesn't treat his brothers and sisters very harshly, among the younger ones, he is still very dignified, at least speaking more effectively than his own father.
"Okay, go ahead, you can play, don't forget today's homework." He wiped his sweat, looked down at her, and flicked his forehead, "In addition to eating and playing all day long, I just learned some bad things from your second brother. .”
"Ouch, sizzle, it hurts, it hurts, hum, the cauldron won't play with you anymore." He turned around and pulled Hu Sanniang, "Sanniang, let's go quickly."
"Hey." Before he could say anything, he was dragged away by the snack guy.
Li Ying shook his head. He was still a child, with a child's mind. Unfortunately, time waits for no one and there is no room for rest. The current growing strength has not yet reached its bottleneck.
But what is certain is that there will be a limit to growth, internal strength cannot be neglected, and hand work should be put on the agenda.
After all, the Li family also has a family-owned secret. Although it is above average in all aspects, it is not as outstanding as Jade Qilin Lu Junyi. Not only is it not as rich as him, but it is not as famous as him with his skill of gun and stick.
But there is one thing that can still be taken out, and that is the Li family flying knife. In the past, our ancestors relied on this unique skill to have the current Lijiazhuang business with a population of several thousand people and three hundred dealers.
Maybe you can look down on the lower ranks, but you can't ignore the unique skill brother. Otherwise, if you have the ability, don’t ban me, the Double God King. The version disadvantage will still teach you how to be a good person.
Most of the heroes in the Water Margin are not good at martial arts, and most of them rely on their unique skills.
The one who runs fast is called the magical Taibao, the thief who steals the magic is called the fleas on the drum, the one who swims like a fish in the water is called the Baitiao in the waves, the one who fights and writhes in the water is called the Hunjiang dragon, and the one who throws stones with perfect accuracy is called the unfeathered arrow. It can only be said that all heroes have their place. , not used, just not found.
There are not many people who use flying knives in the original work, and Li Ying's flying knives are not very frequent. They only appeared on the battlefield once. It was in the Battle of Muzhou during the conquest of Fangla. The flying knives killed the guard Wu Yingxing, so they did not appear. Hence his fame.
The reason for not using throwing knives may be that there is no chance. After all, he is in charge of finance. Of course, it may also be that his marksmanship is enough to solve most battles. Throwing knives are not needed. The iron-pointed steel gun passed down from his family is not a vegetarian.
But at this time, Li Ying couldn't think like this. With a flying knife in one hand, he could kill people with a hundred steps, and he was so unpredictable that he couldn't do it quickly.
Of course, the most important thing is to be handsome. It doesn't matter whether he kills people or not, but handsomeness is a lifelong thing. The prodigal ranger Li Xunhuan disagrees except for his personal life, but it is undeniable that he is really handsome.
I have decided that my flying knives will be called Xiao Li’s flying knives from now on. It is not considered an infringement anyway.
I was thinking about how to pretend to be 13 in the future, and I smelled a burning smell. I looked up and saw smoke coming from the direction of the backyard. I didn't care about putting on my clothes and ran away, listening to the servants shouting along the way, "The water is running out, the water is running out, come and put out the fire."
Feeling uneasy, I kept walking and walked directly to the woodshed. It was a large warehouse where firewood had been stored for several years. A raging fire was burning at the moment.
"Ah, what should I do? It's on fire."
"What are you yelling about? Come and get water."
Several maids were frightened and helpless, and only a few men were fetching water to put out the fire.
There was a faint sound, and Li Ying's hearing was sensitive and he could detect it easily.
"Help, Cauldron, come and save me."
"Brother, save me quickly."
Turning around, he picked up a girl and said, "What? Xiaohai and the others are inside." Li Ying's eyes were about to burst into flames, and he scared the maid to tears.
"Young master, we don't know either. They seemed to be playing here just now." Let go of this maid. There is no point in getting angry. You have to save her quickly.
"You guys go notify my father and the dealers nearby. Hurry up." There was no doubt in his voice. He turned and ran to the room to pick up a red quilt, soaked it in water, wet it, and draped it on his back.
"Young Master, what are you going to do? Don't go in, it's dangerous." A man stopped him.
"Step aside."
His hands were thrown away, and the man couldn't stop him at all, so he had no choice but to give up, "Go and inform the master, the eldest young master has gone in."
In the woodshed, fallen beams blocked the front and rear exits, and several children were surrounded by piles of dry wood that had not yet burned.
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have hid in the woodshed, wuwuwu." Li Sha, whose face was as black as coal, cried helplessly against Li Hui.
"Fourth sister, don't cry, Sanniang is with you." Hu Sanniang came over and hugged Li Sha. She also had dirty marks on her body, and the slight shaking of her body could not hide the fear in her heart.
"Ah, what should I do? I haven't become famous yet, oh oh oh, daddy, help me." Zhu Biao wiped his nose while crying, and wiped it on Hei Wazi with his hand, not knowing whether it was tears or something else.
"Brother Ying will definitely come to save us." Hei Wazi couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but his tone was firm.
"Ah ah ah, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have brought the fire in here." At this time, Li Fei banged his head hard with his hands, venting his regrets and apologies.
"Yes, it's your fault, huh." Li Sha cried and looked at Li Hui, getting angrier the more she thought about it, "It's all your second brother's fault, wuwu, I still have a lot of snacks in the room, if I had known, I might as well have eaten them all , Wow ah ah ah.”
"Second brother, why are you bringing the fire dumplings?" Li Jing, who had been silent at this time, asked.
"I, I." Li Hui finally said nothing. After all, being afraid of the dark was too embarrassing.
"Bang!" Another wooden beam fell, shocking everyone. Even if they were not burned to death, they would soon be crushed to death.
Especially the lack of oxygen made people very uncomfortable, and breathing became more and more difficult. After a while, Li Sha passed out due to lack of oxygen.
"Fourth sister, wake up." Everyone shook and saw no response.
"What to do now, cough." Zhu Biao asked.
"No, cough, cough, there is no other way, I don't have the strength to shout." Li Jing said.
Hu Sanniang held the fainted fourth sister in her arms and looked at the nearby exit, which was clearly not far away but out of reach. The scorching heat made it difficult for her to open her eyes.
Suddenly, there was a sound from the front, but no one had time to pay attention because a log stained with flames was shaking.
The burning wood fell directly from above everyone.
"My life is at stake." Everyone thought this and closed their eyes subconsciously.
"Bang" The imaginary heavy object did not fall. Hu Sanniang opened her eyes and saw that she was wearing a red cloak, her long hair was flying in the fire, and one hand was blocking the burning wood. It was really unforgettable.
"Why are you in such a daze?" He threw his hand away, and dozens of kilograms of wood flew several meters away before everyone came back to their senses.
"Brother, you are finally here, woo woo woo."
"Brother Ying, help me."
Li Fei and Zhu Biao were holding one of Li Ying's thighs.
"Let go." He picked up Li Sha with his left hand, "Is she okay?"
"It's okay, I just fainted." Hu Sanniang wiped her tears and mumbled. Who wouldn't be afraid at this age?
"That's good. I'll hold a few in one hand and put one on my back."
After a while, the life-saving plan was assigned. The fourth sister was tied with clothes on her chest, Li Jing and Li Gai were held in her left hand, Zhu Biao and Li Hei were held in her right hand, and Hu Sanniang was carried on her back to tie up the wet quilt.
It looks a little bloated after shaking, but it doesn't matter. The little kid can weigh as much as two little sows, Li Fei and Hei Wazi, and their total weight is only more than two hundred kilograms.
"Hold on tight. I don't care if it falls."
"Don't worry, I'm holding on tight." Li Fei held up the rope that tied the fourth sister.
"That's right, we're holding on tight, run away." Zhu Biao interjected.
"Brother, the fire is getting louder." Li Jing also agreed.
"Okay, let's walk." He used the Jade Ring Step to avoid a few falling fire blocks, and reached the gate in a short time.
Suddenly at this moment, "Be careful." Sanniang shouted.
The largest beam collapsed directly. If you dodge, it will block the way out. If you don't, it will hit you directly.
Regardless, he rushed forward without missing the opportunity. "Bang!" The heavy giant tree with flames still fell hard. Neither the left nor the right could get out, and the front and rear were also helpless.
Li Ying raised his head. He wanted to use his head, but was hit on the forehead by the giant tree. Blood mixed with flames flowed all over his face.
He turned sideways and threw the wood over. He had a severe headache and shook his body. He calmed down and continued running forward.
Outside the woodshed, Mr. Li was scolding the servants, almost shouting, "No matter what you do, you don't stop the young master. If there is any problem with you, you can't live without it."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Master, send someone in to save people quickly, my son." Mrs. Wen was so anxious that she almost fainted.
"Madam, please pay attention to your health." Mr. Li helped his wife up, "Why are you standing there? Why don't you go put out the fire quickly?"
Everyone was busy and noisy. Suddenly, at the door of the woodshed, a broad figure appeared and put down several babies in his arms. He threw himself to the ground with a "poof" and there was no movement.
"Dad, Mom." The three children threw themselves into the adults' arms.
